Jeanie will be remembered among the Senior Class as the helping hand when hel for tickets or dance orders was in demand. State Mutual certainly is lucky to have an employee like Jeanie! Besides being among the most popular, Jeanie has made efficiency and good marks a must throughout her high school days. May you glide through life as you do on the dance floor, Jeanie!

Her greatest interest is music. Besides her school work, she gives piano lessons and has started on the road to success. Her work in the orchestra is greatly appreciated, although most of her interests seem to center outside of Beal High. Good luck, Phyl.

He also keeps us amused with his superb playing of boogiefwoogie-a hidden talent discovered this year. Whenever you hear the Cow-Cow boogie, you're sure to find him there. Carl's musical interest is not confined to the piano, for he also has a flair for dancing. He is also an ardent crew enthusiast. May you gain as much in life as you did by pulling your oar for the success of the crew!

2 O RICHARD SYLVESTER Dick Never trouble trouble till trouble troubles you Dick is the fellow who is the proud owner of a nice little car. During the senior play what would we have done without his chauffeuring? You don't know Dick until crew begins. Then he makes a name for himself. His keen interest tells us how wonderful sports are. His dramatic ability was seen in his Huckleberry Finn selection during his junior year in dramatics.

Those of us who are fortunate enough to know Hope know that she is a conscientious and willing worker, with a friendly disposition. Hope's shyness and sweet ways prove that to have a host of friends does not necessarily mean one has to be talkative. N0 matter where Hope goes, we are sure that her friendliness will be appreciated.

Wherever Nancy goes, the books go. We know for a fact the books are not just a facade, because when Report Cards come out, Nan hits the high honor roll. She certainly deserves all those wonderful marks. What would the forwards on the hockey team have done without Nan backing them up? We wish you loads of success in college, Nan.
