He is never afraid to express his opinion in a school assembly, even though others may not always agree with him. He takes his responsibili- ties seriously and doesn't mind working hard in carrying them out. In his academic work as well as in extra curricular activities Denny shows tremendous drive and determination to succeed, as evidenced in his work in the Chemistry Lab, on the Latest, and as Stephen in the musical play, Lost In The Stars. Denny is a wrestler and has competed in many school matches. This year he is captain of the team. Playing center he was an important member of the football team also. Labor ipse voluptas.

JEAN H. HOOKER STUDY HALL CHAIRMAN-3 COUNTRY FAIR COMMITTEE-3 CHORUS-3, 4 onus' DISCUSSION CLUB--3, 4 LATEST Business Manager-4 BASKETBALL-3 With the cry something must be done about this! Jean has delved into every iob, from heading the Study Hall Committee or making posters for Country Fair and productions to managing the business for the LATEST. Her activities on the costume committee for our spring per- formances have shown her exceptional capacity for work and her efficiency. Jean's fellow students respect her for her unfailing sense of right and her inner need to uphold the right as she has seen it. From her deep knowledge of human troubles rises an understanding of people and a desire to help them with their problems. But lest you see her as a solemn Cassandra, remember her sparkling unconventionality, the unconcern with which she pokes fun at herself, her ability to see the humor of incongruous situations and human foibles, including her own. Time cannot wither her, nor custom stale her infinite variety. ROBERT MORRISON cHoRus-3, 4 N BOYS' DISCUSSION CLUB-3, 4 LATEST Contributor-3 SO CCER-3 Manager-4 BOWLIN G-4 TRACK Ma na ger-3 Nothing is impossible to the willing heart. lf you ever need Bob, you'll probably find him enioying the sociable atmosphere of Streeter. This haunt is like a second home to him, and he is the one most responsible for keeping it neat for his classmates. Once emerged from there he makes his way without over-agitation, smiling at the frantic hustle about him. But watch Bob in one of his more determined moods! When he suc- cessfullyl assumes charge of the young fry in the school bus, it becomes apparent that he has some qualities most valuable for his planned vo- cation, social work, namely persuasive affability and determination to create order out of chaos. As for showmanship and range of voice as the Moth, he can easily vie with Yma Sumac. -7

She has been deeply concemed with understanding the many problems that are posed by a true self-government of the school, and no discussion would be complete without the help of her clear thought and firm convictions. ' Many a committee has sought her advice and cooperation, from sheer menial tasks to important proiects, because they know they can count on her to give the full measure of her attention and energy to a iob. As program chairman this year, Peggy, with planning and foresight, has kept our very complicated schedule of activities from being snarled up. People are at ease in Peggy's company, because she makes them feel that she wants their friendship as much as they want hers. Oh, there is a girl that's known in these parts, Her name is Peggy Lyon, and she's won our hearts. So we'd like to know A girl with more go- And we'lI stand by her to the end-oh!

He was dedicated to the proposition that nature is the best teacher, and that the wide open spaces are the best school. Like his great prototype, honest Abe, however, he found a consuming interest for the benefit of his fellowmen, in his case the study of electricity and radio. lt seems altogether fitting and proper that Park School profited from his accomplishments for its Spring productions and dances, by making him chairman of its lighting equipment. Karl's straightforward manner, his determination, and his clear sense of values have won him the respect of his fellow students, and, as vice- president of the Student Council, he has been their best guarantee that government of the people, by the people, and for the people has not yet perished from this earth. The force of his own merit makes his way. 9
