Nelson Holland Jewett, Jr. The social, friendly, honest man, whate'er he be, 'tis he ful- Hlls great nature's plans. Art is not an end in itself, but a means of addressing humanityf' If the often heard expression, f'He's a nice guy, truly applies to anyone, it is to Nicky. Nicky is consistently good- natured, his classmates can depend on a cheerful comment from him even when others are particularly sad. He is often seen grinning at embarrassed victims from behind his camera, as he performs the dilflcult job of Spark Photography Editor with imagination, and with appar- ent relish. On the ski bus Nicky is a lively version of Shelley Berman. Once he straps on his skis, he changes to a skilled, fearless schussboomer. Nicky will be remembered for his serious moments, for he is a thinking person who takes the time to notice what is happening around him. Nicky cares deeply about other peo- ple, about his work, and about Park School.

Evidence of her artistic ability may be seen in all areas of school activities, especially in the Production. She is most often found in the Art Studio working on some proj- ect or painting for her own pleasure. Yet there is more to Terri than art. Terri enjoys being with people, she has a relaxed and cheerful manner which makes people seek her company. She is optimistic and finds value in things which others might not appreciate. Terriis creativity, and her vitality make her a person who is truly aware of the beauty and gaiety of life. 27'

Steve's satirical wit often interrupts the serious mood of a heated discussion. His role in the senior class is unequivocally that of the antagonist, for his frank re- marks often shatter the ego. People sometimes mis- judge him, they fail to in- vestigate his seriousness of purpose. Steve's judgment is goodg he is active and creative. In class meetings or in English class, Steve presents his arguments well and stimulates much thought.
