CHARLES DESSAU ATKINSON III e school library, nor the city li- brary, nor Ldary's of Philadelphia can supply a certain book, periodical, or reference, the next person to whom he invariably turns is Charlie Atkinson, whose vast libraries offer a limitless source of reading material, and whose large vocabulary attests to his extensive reading. His main means of unleashing his vocabulary are in English class and in his DIAL column, Once Over Lightly, in which he manages to use most of his newly-acquired tongue-twisters. In the Senior Room, Charlie is usually seen either madly attempting to arrange his three shelves or desperately cramming for a History test or Math 'quickie' which is coming up next period. As well known as his bibliomania and honor grades are his feats on the basketball court, where he has played varsity for the past three years, and on the football field, where, snagging fingertip passes from his right end position, he acquired the appropriate nickname, Bird, Charlie is quite a tal- ented, though self-made musician, having taught himself to play the piano the Dean Ross way,', as well as the ukulele and the guitar. He sings bass in the chorus, and he enjoys harmonizing in the Tower Hillbilly fashion both in school and at parties. How- ever, not until the boarding school vacations does Charlie show his true self, and only then does he manage to show up at parties and dances with a date. During what little time outside of school that he can call his own, Charlie can many times be found either loafing or playing tennis, two favorite pastimes at which he's expert. Despite Charlie's qualms and fears about being accepted at the college of his choice, it is certain that he will be accepted with open arms, and that wherever he goes, Charlie Atkinson will open doors of new pleasures and adventures which will never include a dull time or-a small vocabulary.

JANET ELLEN BAKER No matter whether in the Senior Room, in the halls or in the classroom, when you hear a cheery voice, you know Janet is close at hand. Dashing around on some im- portant errand, her hair in a tousle, she always has time to give a friendly greeting, and her good hmnor soon infects all those with whom she comes in contact. She is al- ways full of vim, vigor, and vitality. Enthusiastic participant in hockey this year, janet served as the team's manager, and on Thursdays she was often seen scurrying around the hockey field laden with stopwatches, scoring books, and first aid kits, and followed by two or three assistants, impressed into service, carrying trays of oranges. She enjoys singing in the chorus, and in the Senior Room she is usually one of the first to lend her voice to any Barbershop Quartets. Don't mention Colorado to Janet or you wiU be stuck for the afternoon. Aften spending a summer out there, she became so crazy about the place, and especially about the horses which Colorado possesses, that she is planning to go to college in that glorious state. janet is the veritable book worm of the Senior Class, the only one who can find time to keep up with the best seller list. She says that her favorite book is The Saint, and she tells everybody how she loves it. When spring comes, she can always be heard expounding on the merits of the Phillies. Janet's winning ways, her enthusiasm, and her friendliness should carry her far in college and in whatever she may undertake in her later life.
