She is still the fun-loving, yet serious, girl who left Park as a sophomore. Mary's personality is that of a true class-mate and close friend rolled into one. She has the special knack of being everyone's friend and at the same time being frank and honest with each. It is not hard to see why she is one of the best-thought-of-girls in the Senior Class. Sports are Mary's special baby and she excels in many of them. Hockey, basketball, track or tennis are but a few of the sports which captivate Mary's heart and spirit. ' Mare doesnit limit herself to sports alone, but was on the SparkLiterary Board in her Senior year and the cheerleading squad in her Sophomore year. A wisp of brown hair . . . a lot of enthusiasm . . . a quick laugh . . . a smile for everyone . . . Mary. On earth thereis little worth a sigh, and nothing worth a tear. IO

Who can insist she's-on a diet one minute then eat three dishes of ice cream for lunch the next? Who is constantly wishing that her hair Were straight? Who talks about an exciting summer with the A.F.S.? Who? None other than Terry. Terry's interminable energy, sense of values and capability to de- bate with anyone on any given subject has made her a welcome addi- tion to the Senior Class. Her capacity and enthusiasm for accom- plishing things, and accomplishing them well, was noticed when she was elected Editor-in-Chief of the Latest. Because she is so busy, it is sometimes difficult to locate her. In spite of this, every day she is in Streeter at recess ready to talk or argue about anything.

In Steve's eleven years at Park, he has proven that he is eager to undertake any task and see it through. For this, his classmates elected him as the president of the Senior Class. In school, Steve is a hard and determined worker. He strives hard to uphold his ideals. People who think that Steve is a quiet bump on a log are mistaken. True, he is diffident but, when the appropriate time arises, Steve is an asset to any gathering. By cracking a well worded joke, he often provides the spark needed to liven up a Monday morning. Steve's big talent is his ability in athletics. He has been a big asset in every sport throughout his career at Park. Many times, he, alone, has pulled a game out of the fire. This year he was the br foot on the soccer team's defense. He is an all star on anyoneis basketball team and is a track star as well. The name and records of Steve Cary will go down in the pages of the scorebooks and also in the hearts of Park Schoolers. 'Tlwroughgoing .silence manages to intrigue most people. 9

PHYLLIS C. LANGO ATHLETIC COMMITTEE 4 SUBPRODUCTION COMMITTEE 4 LATEST 3, 4 CHEERLEADING 4 BASKETBALL 4 TRACK 3, 4 SOCCER 4 SOFTBALL 3, 4 A wisp of blond hair, a glare from her big blue eyes, continual from one place to another . . . that's Phyllis. Her interest in horses, sports and yes, people too, only begins to explain her vibrant personality. Phyllis has been an avid participator in many phases of Park School life. Her work on the Latest, the Athletic Committee, the further re- storation of Streeter, and, of course, the Pep Squad are all to be highly commendable. Terrifying on the soccer field, lightening in any horse race, inter- ested in any kind of art, spirited enthusiasm at games, and a deep love of people, make Phyllis an added spark to Park and its ideals. God forbid that I should go to any heaven in which there are no horses. JAN H.
