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.

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.

MICHAEL BERESFORD XXfhen Mike, otherwise known at The Duke, first appeared at Tower Hill, he was shocked at the narrowness of the curriculum- They don't even have a general course in animal husbandry! He continued to decry this lack for the following three years with varying degrees of enthusiasm. Soon, however, he found that he had attained the magic age of sixteen years, after which time no one in the school had any peace. Some- how he acquired an old beat-up 1950 Ford to which he added duals, a coat of blue paint, a non-muffling muffler, yellow fender skirts, and a girl. The identity of the latter was found to fluctuate from time to time, but there usually was one to be amused and amazed at numerous driving feats, such as wrapping the car around a telephone pole, and then unwrapping it. He continually brought into the senior room supplies of motor magazines and instructions on how to hit 120 in three seconds in low gear. Of course, one must never forget the memorable days when he would return from a grueling race with the French room clock, remarking That fcensoredj French Certainly most of us will not soon forget the many passers Duke smeared as defensive end on the football team and the many pillows which were last seen leaving his hand in the general direction of the window. We apologize, of course, for moving his book- shelf so often, but we hasten to assure him that he has added a certain color to the atmosphere of his class which will long be remembered by all who knew him and were cussed out by him.
