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.

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.

Without vivid descriptions of France, wild accounts of weekends, sudden exits to the biology lab,-without ,clever poetry, a firm stand for personal convictions on numerous class and school committees,-without a constructive attitude, a Mr. Anthony-flavor to a confidential con- versation,-without a happy laugh, a warming smile for everyone, genuine friendship, and above all a deep understanding of people,- that is, without Judy the Senior Class would have lacked its most spirited and enthusiastic member. I i CHARLES MARTYN KEELER STUDENT COUNCIL BOYS' DISCUSSION CLUB-4 President-4 SPARK Financial Chairman-v3 Financial Chairman-3 Representative-3 FOOTBALL-3, 4 DANCE CHAIRMAN-4 BASKETBALL-2, 3, 4 CHORUS-2, 3, 4 BASEBALL-3 ORCHESTRA-2, 3, 4 TRACK-2, 3 Charlie, a most colorful character in word and deed, has advocated the rights of the Uncommon Man throughout his Park School career. This past yearlhe has been the governing force behind the Student Council and the Constitutional Committee and has conducted all meetings with characteristic dignity and humor. Charlie has various means of expressing his unique sense of humor, but in our intense philosophical discussions, he has shown deliberate thought and a deep sense of values. Charlie is o whiz on skis and a powerhouse on the football team, al- though his spectacular touchdowns were not always given recognition by the referees. However, he would rather run up the scales, than down the field, and his trumpet has added some cool tones to the instrumental combo of Sernotfsky, Finnell and Keeler. From his properly-soiled white bucks to his collegiate pink shirt, Charlie is a Man of Distinction. Great is our admiration for one who speaks fluently and wisely. I3
