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.

Whois voice can one always hear in math or physics class? Who's activities ranged from Sophomore Class President to Dining Room Committee Chairman? VVho else, but Jan. It is not uncommon to see him traipsing across campus, briefcase in his hand, either conversing With a classmate or yelling to someone farther ahead. A jokester above all, Jan gives as Well as takes, with admirable ease. Y But his interests are not limited only to the light side of life. A diligent Worker, he excels in all his classes. From maintaining a fluent German conversation to understanding complex Physics laws, Jan proves himself an able and enthusiastic student. Hit hard, hit fast, hit oftenf, I 1

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

PETER S. CARR LATEST 1, 2 BASKETBALL 1 soccnn 1, 2, s, 4 VOLLEYBALL 2, 3, 4 TRACK ez, 3 In his four years at Park, Peter has made a unique impression on everyone. He can be seen almost anywhere laughing hysterically, waiting with baited breath for the days when academic assignments are handed out, or pursuing a new girl friend. He is a lover of parties, his witty remarks and congeniality leave everyone in a good humor. Peter has proved himself scholastically as well as socially. During workshop he is usually in a secluded corner of the Chemistry-Physics laboratory exhibiting an interest in automotives. This interest is dis- played by endless descriptions of his Singer, and his decided talent is shown by his Senior thesis on the building of a remote control car. Pete is sure to make a success of himself in whatever field he decides to enter, Whether it be science, journalism or any other field the future may hold in store. Live 'where you can, be as happy as you can. PATRICIA A. CALE TI-IANKSGIVING COMMITTEE GIRL'S DISCUSSION CLUB 2, 3, 4 Chairman 3 Secretary 4 ATHLETIC COMMITTEE 3 CHEERLEADING 2, 3, 4 STUDY HALL COMMITTEE TENNIS 2, 4 Secretary 4 BASKETBALL 3, 4 PRODUCTION MANAGER 3 Captain 4 SPARK LITERARY BOARD 3, 4 HOCKEY 2, 3, 4 Editor 4 Full of energy, throwing herself heart and soul into Whatever she does, Pat has given much to Park, and Park has shown its apprecia- tion of her talents by electing her Literary head of the Spark. Where would last year's Production have been without Pat, its manager? Where would the cheerleading squad be Without Pat yelling and shouting enthusiastically in its ranks? Her long-suffering patience has often been tried by tl1e heckling she gets for speaking with her twangy Philadelphia accent. But Pat is up to all occasions, and she may respond by refusing to speak in anything but Siamese, the language she learned during her two year stay in Siam. On the other hand, she is just as apt to go into her fa- mous rendition of Marilyn Monroe, speaking in a breathless, south- ern drawl. Pat is the epitome of a fun loving, hard Working person, a person who knows when it is appropriate to be gay, and when to be serious. This is a real problem with which I shall have to wrestle, for of such stuf is diplomacy made. I2
