ELIZABETH BROOKE BRYAN It you happen to be walking by the Gym someday, and your ears are suddenly split by a deafening roar, don't be alarmed, tor it is only Brooke either starting her '41 black Chevrolet or greeting the passersby with a blast of her horn. The resulting noise is much like that which can be heard on Market Street around tive o'clock. If not lead- ing a cheer at some athletic event or captaining the Hockey team to a victory, Brooke might be found in the Senior Room inquiring it there's anyone who wants to make a fourth for bridge. Last year most of Brooke's time was spent with the Social Service Committee. As its chairman, she did an excellent iob of keeping the books in order and ex- tracting the pledge money from everyone. Somehow she found time to be Headliner of the Dial, but this proved somewhat of a headache, when people wouIdn't believe that a twenty-tive space headline couldn't possibly be squeezed into an eighteen space line. Brooke, as Sports Editor of the Evergreen, consulted members of the various athletic teams about the outstanding sports events of the year and compiled them for this book. So, with her fine record here, we know that whichever college Brooke at- tends next year, Tower Hill will be well represented.

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.

LINDSEY ANN CAIRNS Upon walking into the Senior Room one might possibly find Lindsey huddled in a corner, directing her mind deep into the realms of trigonometry, for she is the sole female member of this advanced course. Although she is well-qual- a fine mechanical mind, ified for Senior Math., having she is unquestionably the least enviable girl in the class. When long socks came into vogue, Lindsey was quick to take them up and since then has not abandoned them, modeling every color available. To date no one has discerned a reason for her affinity for them unless it is to keep her from catching cold or lust to go along with her long hair. Lindsey has withstood the trials of changing hair styles and remained true to the adage that men, particularly Hockessin men, prefer girls with long hair. ln spite of her taciturnity Lindsey makes a very good leader in the field of athletics, as she demonstrated this fall in hockey. Although unable to participate due to an iniury, she was a fine captain and gave the J.V. team much needed support. Whichever college Lindsey attends she will have a fine record to look back on, based on her achievements here at Tower Hill. FAVORITE EXPRESSION: SChunk!
