Her long easy stride, blonde hair, and cheerful personality are well known to everyone. She is one of those few persons who can discuss any subject in a candid manner. llfarianne has brought a fresh vitality to Park and has enlarged our familiarity with the customs and habits of foreign peoples. One of the more cosmopolitan members of the Senior Class, lVIarianne has lived in Europe and South America for the greater part of her life. Marianne is particularly adept in sports and uses her height to great advantage in badminton, basketball, and track. She is equally at home on the hockey field, for the strength of her shots strikes fear into the heart of any goalie. Thus with undaunted good spirits and with sportsmanship and drive in athletics, Marianne has made contributions to the school that will last in our memory long after she has gone off to conquer new worlds.

His classmates look at Jerry as a man of high ideals. He thrives on principles, such as those found in Senior Math and Physics. Jer', is always the one who questions and argues a theory, asking to see upon what principles it is based. Known about the academic circles as Brains',, Jerry has the envied talent for pulling good marks no matter how unprepared. He does his best when called upon, his bril- liant jobs on the Community Chest Committee and as Treasurer of the Upper School show that he has the capability of producing. Jerry has a light side, too. 'When free from worry and academic burdens, he uses his wit to entertain his classmates. At a. party, in Streeter, or even in class, Jake can pop a good joke at the right time. Also on the athletic field, Jer has shown great ability. He throws himself wholeheartedly into any game whether it be soccer, basket- ball, baseball or tennis. By his sincere interest and through his excellent leadership, Jerry has contributed greatly to Park and its traditions.

Whether in class, work- shop, or committee meeting, Sue leaves a very favorable impression, partly attributed to her amiable personality and excellent taste in clothes. A serious and conscientious student, Sue demonstrated, in her sen- sitive manner, her capacity in the handling of the English language, through her thesis on Jane Austin. She has read widely, poetry as well as prose, and has used her knowledge to aid others. A faithful and spirited member of Park, Sue's influence has been felt equally on the sport's Held as well as in academic areas. The thing is saidg I do not know how seriously. 20
