HERBERT ABLADIAN “HERBIE” “The only way to have a friend is to be one.” Did you hear a loud laugh? That means Herbie’s around.

PATRICIA BALCOM “PAT” “Her hair is dark, but her smile is bright, her merriment is hard to fight.” Mischievous, peppy and friendly are the three words which ac- curately describe Pat.
