The loud bass voice from the front row i11 Assembly shows Jolly's interest in all kinds of music. An expert organist, Jolly plays at weddings, Church services, and Senior parties. Jolly, when not in Streeter, where he installed the much needed electricity this year, is busy in classes. He advances complicated theories, and helps his teachers when their understanding falters. Jolly has an outlook on life which typifies his actions: Live, laugh, and be merry, for tomorrow we die.

And who is willing to defeat the world on the effectiveness of the U. S. constitu- tion? Ron Levy, of course!! Since coming to Park in the middle of his Junior year, Ron has made a name for himself. His ability to debate on any subject shows his interest in the world around him. Ron,s gay personality, coupled with the capacity for sober thought, has made him an outstanding personality. My argument is that War makes rattling good history, but Peace is poor reading. 15
