In the fall of I942 an influx of wild humanity descended upon the tranquil halls of Tower Hill School, whose scholarly precincts were still to be haunted by ten of this group thirteen years later. In the years to come who would ever have con- ceived of BILLY'S erudite discrimination between automobile engines, CAROL'S and BROOKE'S Cum Laude potentiality, or DEAYNE'S possibility as a successor to Eddie Arcaro. TUSS, of course, was destined to become Harvard's answer to Einstein, and DAVID was fated to wrest the easel from that sadistic artist of the macabre, Charles Ad- dams. DOLLY and SUSAN, who were promising and unpredictable at five, have only grown more so through the years. Overwhelmed by this tremendous mass of ability and instability, ROB- BIE and LINDSEY decided to run out the back door while the going was good-only to return to the irresistible fold in the ensuing years. Along with siestas, tortillas, and Aztec sacrifices in the third grade came DIANA and DEBBY, who quick- mimm ly put their classmates to shame with their learned diagnosis on the theories of long division. A comparative study of Medieval European Culture was accompanied by the eminent RICHARD LOV- ING in the fourth grade, and in the following year Miss Cannon was faced with the cherubic features and red hair of Miss CHARLOTTE RODE. The raucous rabble had now grown to formidable dimensions, bewildering the sixth grade's new member, MARY MIKE, but she adapted herself to this wild and unbridled environment all too soon and participated fully in the class' various escapades. In the seventh grade the ranks were joined by ANN DAVISON, who arrived iust in time to help rebuild Pooh Store, which had burned to the ground after the first day under its new management. In customary tradition the class presented its annual Christmas play, which, as usual, was written only two days before pres- entation.

With the advent of Easter the mercenary group, crazed with the ever-mounting profits from Pooh Store, settled down to create more unusual and outlandish Easter eggs to pad their little piggy bank to its fullest extent. Upon our ostentatious arrival in the Upper School in the following year our repertoire was broadened by General Science, Latin, and ROCK, who was destined to lead us in our final year behind the ivy-clad walls. Midway through the year MARY, hearing about all the fun our class was having, left A.I. duPont and ioined the class to help us plan our spring dance. DON, TOMMY, and MAC entered the class in the ninth grade, little suspecting how much value their leadership qualities would have in the years to come. The greatest influx came in the next year when GAIL, GENlE, RICH, JUDY, DENNIS, and BILL ioined the class. It was fortunate that their arrival coincided with such an important year, for it was at this time that the class undertook its money-mad campaigns. The notorious, from lah all viewpoints, Valentine Dance and the fights for concessions at ball games will not soon be forgotten by any of us. As the eleventh grade began, we still were in need of adequate finances for our Junior Prom, so with NANCY, JOAN, and BILL PORTER, our most recent arrivals, to help us, we sponsored the annual Halloween Dance. That December the class took a trip to New York, where all sorts of strange events took place. ln June came the crowning event of our years at Tower Hill-our Junior Prom. Then our Senior year finally began, bringing us KURT, our ex- change student from Germany, and our beautiful new Senior Room with all its privileges. Aside from maintaining the responsibilities of Seniors, the class busied itself with the Dial, Evergreen, College Boards, and getting into college. Some- how we found time to go to Washington, where fun was had by all. So ended our Senior year packed with the memories of all our fun and adventure, and with it goes our hope that we have measured up to everyone's expectations. 'Mem Kneeling, left to right: G.
