With a bright smile he can walk right through a difficulty which his more elongated classmates would have to meet head-on. The most remarkable thing about this big little guy is his capacity for fun and sociability. Of the laughs this year's senior class has had, a good many were caused by something David said or did,-and that is quite an achievement considering the competition. Helpful and good-natured, David can magically provide a car when- ever one is needed to solve the problems of thumb-weary' hitchhikers, or whizz to the corner to furnish the famished seniors with some de- lectable refreshments. To see and hear David play the trumpet in the school orchestra is an experience, and a very unique one. The same enthusiasm that captures him while he plays this instrument also animates him on the basketball court and the ski slope, where his performance simply sweeps the by- stander aff his feet. He is always laughing, for he has an infinite deal of wit.

Gail has been a member of the Park Community since her nursery school days and has enriched it with her strength, her reliability and her quiet friendliness. Always ready to lend a helping hand, she has shown that she is capable of dealing with a variety of .responsibilities small or big, whether helping out in the nursery school, or greeting visiting teams and serving them refreshments, whether designing and executing posters for a school function or working on a piece of ceramics, she has ac- complished the iobs with steady work and great attention to detail. On hockey fleld and basketball court Gail has distinguished herself by skill and true sportsmanship. Her love for sports and her pleasant manner helped her serve ably as team manager and also as chairman of the Hospitality Committee in her Junior Year. l0

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

Her classmates, too, have found this grueling experience relieved by the atmosphere of light-hearted frivolity that Babs could create for them, even on the gloomiest day. And yet, in her years with us we have come to appreciate her as a genuine friend with deep'human insight, sensi- tivity and straightforwardness. Babs has carried out the iob of Dining Room Chairman graciously and has steered both, her committee and the dining room, with a light hand. Since Babs has already seen so much of the globe, we will not be surprised to hear some day, that her desire to travel has found ex- pression in interplanetary expeditions. Light laughs the breeze in her castle of sunshine.
