Nancy's smallness has not hindered her in any way. Full of boundless energy, she is a hard and industrious worker, whether it be as a member of the Foreign Student Commit- tee, as Editor of Spark Photography, or as a teammate on the girl's soccer team. ' Nancy isn't all work or play, but a little bit of each. Her infectious giggle emanating from Streeter can be heard echoing all through school. Her ability to dance, especially to the popular durge, 'They had to carry Harry . . . , her keen sense of humor and love of fun make her a welcome addition to any party. This Kenmore girl who swore she'd never wear knee socks, who cuts her own hair, who loves ice cream, who likes to watch animals being operated upon and is the best friend anyone could ever ask for -is Nancy. Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.

MICHAEL E. STROMAN BASKETBALL s, 4 TRACK ss, 4 FOOTBALL 4 Who is the rugged quarterback on the football Held? Who is the tall center on the basketball team? Who is the guy that stands on the corner, hitching a ride to and from school everyday? Who is always looking for a Camel in Streeter? There is only one answer to all these questions, and that answer is Mike. N0 one could have ever believed that the shy, quiet, boy, who came to us from Bennett High School in the middle of his junior year, is the same Mike that we know today. For now, Mike has grown to be a part of Park and Park has become a part of him. In his easy manner, he has made his inHuence felt and has received the friendship and respect of Seniors and underclassmen as well. . A joking grin and an encouraging smile from Mike, have kept the high spirits of many a Park Schooler alive. Dz11?'iculties are things that show what men are. JEAN B.

Who else could possibly arise at 6:30 A.M. just to drive her Knew' station wagon, packed to the roof with kids, to school? Whose tendency for being gullible is a source for kidding and whose ability to laugh at herself makes her a person to be admired? Who? Jean! Here one minute, gone the next, that's Jean. She dashes from one class to the next, from one end of the sports Held to the other, from anywhere to Streeter. Although J eanis small in stature, on the hockey Held she looms like a giant. No opposing player Hnds it easy to get the ball around her stick. Jean is not all fun and frolic. Deeply appreciative of art, and artis- tic herself, she made art the subject of her thesis. She has been an in- valuable member of the Latest, the Spark Literary Board and the Foreign Student Committee. Always willing to help, friendly to everyone, Jean has made her- self an intrinsic part of the class. Every sound shall end in silence, but the silence never dies. 16

She is equally at home on the hockey field, for the strength of her shots strikes fear into the heart of any goalie.
