She has contributed so much to Park and its ideals, that it is almost impossible to put into words what she has done for us. On the sports field, in a classroom, on the Spark Literary Board, in the Council or on the Latest, Mimi has given her all and then some. She does not stop at the minimum, for no job is too great for her to tackle and in her persistent manner, she accomplishes what others fear to attempt. In her four years at Park, Miriam has become known as a leader as well as a follower. Both these qualities are needed in a successful person, and Miriam possesses them in just the right proportions. Fun and gaeity are not unknown to her, for in Streeter or at par- ties, Mimi can be seen in the midst of any group either laughing at or telling a joke. Her humorous personality pleases everyone, her new-found acquaintances as Well as her old friends, and leaves them with a sense of contentment. Take these attributes, sum them up and you have one of the most dedicated girls at Park. JOHN T.

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.

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

It is here that her deep love of people will End its natural expression. Ellie is always either just coming from somewhere or just going someplace. On many afternoons she will be found cheerleading, either doing the cheers herself, or just teaching some struggling newcomer. Her limitless energy is not satisfied by just this strenuous workg it finds expression also in choosing the play for-the Upper School, and in Working on the Spark Literary Board.
