In school government, for the first time in many years, he has made the Study Hall Committee a functional and effective group. This committee, under his leadership, was able to uphold the principles by which the study halls are run. Not only in this area, but also in the field of music, Jerry has com- mand of the situation. His Senior thesis, on Jazz, was considered to be of such excellent quality, that it is being published for various mu- sician's groups around the city. His deep interest in the subject led him to create the Jazz Discussion Club, of which he is President and Coordinator. Jerry's talents and love of people are sure to create for him en- during friendship and a deep understanding of life.

Dee-dee is a great one for telling jokes and pulling pranks, and her typical laugh is usually heard when she's around. But along with her easy-going nature, there is a serious one. VVl1ether working on the Spark Literary Board or deeply engrossed in homework, Dee-dee has proven to be a mature and individualistic personality. Not only in academic fields, but in athletics too, she may be found putting her heart and soul into anything she does. Gay but serious, fun-loving but industrious, this girl with an un- derstanding of human nature, possessed only by a few, has given her all to Park. Good Luck is the gaiest of all gay girls. 21
