Dave, a typical Westerner residing in Colorado, is a four year member of the class of 55 . He loves the West with its wide open spaces and snow capped moun- tains3 but in spite of his western prejudices, he is well liked in the school here and has achieved a good deal of success. Barb, as a result of his fine Christian character, has served on the church board for the last two years and is a member of the Advisory Committee. He is also able to be consistently on the honor roll. Dave is as loyal to Stony Brook as he is to the West and is definitely a valuable member of our class.
