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.

SPARK CHORUS-l, 2, 3, 4 DAVID BUNIS ORCHESTRA-l, 2, 3, 4 WRESTLING-I, 2 BOYS' DISCUSSION CLUB-2, 3, 4 BASKETBALL-3, 4 CHESS-2 BASEBALL-I LATEST TRACK-l, 2, 3, 4 Contributor-l, 2, 3, 4 confrsbum.-1, 2, 3, 4 ' The old saying Good things come in small packages,' fits David to a T, because, like Napoleon, he combines a small stature with a mag- netic and conquering personality. 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.

On hockey fleld and basketball court Gail has distinguished herself by skill and true sportsmanship.

A contagious tee-hee, a willingness to help, and a genuine love for people have come to spell Bubbles, In the last two years that we've known Barb, her sparkling personality and her ability to make friends easily have become a part of us all. The c'mon, haven't you any spirit line shows the interest in Park she so quickly conceived, which we will never forget when we think of field hockey, basketball or Girls' Dis- cussion Club. With Bubbles go her artistic talents, her love for those cute nursery schoolers, and-we fear-her most prized possession, the meat wagon. Behind her, Bubbles leaves the memories of a gay sense of humor, a cheery disposition, and a heart as big as that smile, that makes her a good friend to all. Nothing great was ever accomplished without enthusiasm.
