I I MARY CARLTON ATKINSON If you ever want to know how to bid a hand of bridge, then the person to consult is none other than the Senior class's answer to Charles Goren, Mary. Her bridge knowl- edge has caused her many times to shriek in exasperation, upon discovering that her partner doesn't even suspect what her bidding means. Mary is equally famous for her numerous multi-colored crinolines, which she wears almost constantly. Questioned as to their effectiveness, Mary blithely replies that she iust puts them on out of habit-nothing else. She is also noted for her knee socks which never come to her knees and which she wears everywhere-even on dates. lf not in the Senior Room doing last minute cramming for some test, Mary might possibly be discovered arranging one of the fabulous pep rallies, for which she has become renowned. In her spare time she can usually be found riding around in a green '54 Oldsmobile, accompanied by one of our rivals from the other side of the Brandywine. Mary, al- though famous for many other things, excels in tennis. On any balmy Spring week-end, she can be found batting a tennis ball around. No matter where Mary may go, she will have no trouble in instantly making many friends, for her friendliness and good nature are hard to resist.

LORRAINE CHADEAYNE APPLETON lf anyone ever needs any props from the country, then the person to get what you need is none other than Deayne. To say that she merely lives in the country is doing a rash iniustice to the word country, for she really lives miles from nowhere, somewhere in the vicinity of Chadds Ford. Since there are not too many souls who have pioneered to this particular wilderness, Deayne amuses her- self by going horseback riding and hunting-in which she is extremely proficient. Somehow, between commuting to Tower Hill and caring for four horses, Deayne finds time to partake in many local horse shows, where she usually hauls in most of the winning ribbons. In school she is very quiet, but then, that is only because she is either dream- ing of Andover or listening to all that goes on around her. Sometimes, at the most unexpected occasions, Deayne will pop up with a remark that will set the class off in a round of hysterical laughter. Aside from being extremely artistic, Deayne has excelled in every phase of athletics at Tower Hill. No one will ever forget the extra goal or foul shot that won the game. No matter where she may go, Deayne will have no trouble in making a place for herself. 5 gf..

DENNIS GERARD BERCHET That fellow out there on the football field with his arm raised high over his head, looking forever like the Statue of What's the Use, and screaming at the top of his lungs, Hud- dle it up, gang, huddle it up! , is none other than Dennis Berchet, who plugs up the middle of the Tower Hill forward wall. After every play Dennis takes this position and vibrates his vocal cords to the limit of their elasticity in an effort to organize his team into a huddle for the next play. Although football is undoubtedly his strongest sport, Dennis has also earned a letter in baseball, roaming the outfield in the Spring. Another of his interests, besides the Junior Room, is Dramatics. Donning a little brown derby and silk spats, Den- nis played the part of Sir Francis Chesney in the fall produc- tion of Charlie's Aunt. Somewhat of a stranger to Senior Room society CDennis spends a good bit of the day with his little companion at the other end of the hall in the somewhat over-emphasized Junior Roomj he manages to sneak in for a few hands of bridge and a chance to uphold his strong theory that, contrary to Goren, one should always pass with a point-count of sixteen. To whichever college Dennis takes that iolly smile of his, we all know that if he keeps up the good record there that he has built up here, his future will be filled with opportunity.
