ir PARIS, KENTUCKY Prrrig High School Boxing, Track, Tide Rips, Publicity Comm., Catholic Chapel Comm., Pla- toon Commander i Don ' t let that shy look mislead you because when it comes to the Fightin ' Irish Pinky is right in there. A real sportsman and somewhat of a basketball addict himself, George is never at a oss for the latest hot word on the WILDCATS. Being the loyal son that he is, it ' s a good bet that he has a can of Kentucky soil somewhere in his possession. So far he has successfully shielded it from the view of alien eyes. Swab year George was as jumpy as a caged squirrel, but the situation has since changed — now - we ' re all jumpy. Evidently that had something to do with his dropping Miss G. (the mechanized one) near the end of second class year. Since then it seems he ' s found another Miss G. While in the Land of Tulips during the cruise George found out that there was at least one good thing that did not come from Ken- tucky. In fact he is one of the first to admit that Herr Heinniken markets an excellent product. Gearge Thatnas Dayle

UTri ji r Dottald Preston Courtsat Dippy exhibits all of the tendencies of business tycoon, for his ability to forage methods for a trip to the other end of Long Island Sound would place even the shrewd into the senseless- ness of naivity. His byword was, Home, or bilge in the attempt. This Connecticut lark, as mainstay of the choir and glee clubs and a staunch tenor, can pour on enough expression to put the rest of the club into sidesplitting laughter. A near miss in electro- physics jolted Dippy into using all his sound thinking and re- serve to prove them wrong and it resulted in high grades during the rest of his cadet training. It was just such drive that made him such a fine long distance swimmer on the newly started swimming team, when he was cajoled away from the sailing team, being at the time, an ace in that sport. From submariner to the intercollegiate level is quite a mark of progress for any man.

Probably the most relaxed, unperturbed individual to tote leath- er on the CG gridiron, Russ never saw fit to change his poker face, direct speech, or wandering mind. He may have climbed a few trees in his time, but he was never endangered by the academic meataxe. Never one to let the other sex get on his nerves, this man ' s man sure stirred up theirs. When a job was to be done, Russ accomplished it with solidness and drive, re- maining always independent and self-contained. Though still in diapers as a new swab, maturity in experience and outlook was not lacking in Russ. His sinister looking left eye and Dead End Kid expression fool no one who know what an easy going and sincere guy one-eye is. Itussell HtBralil Ferrier « r.
