APPEARANCE: Homesick westerner LIKES: West DISLIKES: East PASTIME: Waxing floors AMBITION: Business man FAVORITE EXPRESSION: Hey you guys! 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.

Stan also takes part in athletics, for he ran cross country in the fall, wrestled in winter, and was a mem- ber of the track team this spring. He has talked to us in chapel about the needs of the African people and prac- tices what he preaches, for he wants to go to Africa as a missionary. We are all proud of you, Stan.

A good student, Bill has earned his place in college where he hopes to prepare to become a teacher. Those lucky kids! ,Ni
