Soon after his arrival at Williston two years ago, Corb's qualities of leadership became evident. A master of the art of biting sarcasm, he seldom failed to take the wind out of the sails of anyone who dared to try him. Corb, who was one of the most capable members of the class, met the challenge of portraying the lead in the annual fall play with most favorable success. Since his extreme pessimism is not contagious, we feel that his instant popularity and scholastic ability will earn him a place among the more exceptional graduates of 1957, campus.

Whether in the classroom, the dormitory, or the squash court, the energy and diligence with which Gaff attacked every difficult task, together with his spontaneous wit, accounted for his many friends and achievements. Galf's popularity and high academic standing should earn him a dis- tinguished place in college. 29 RICHARD HUGH FRANK 46 Ledgewood Road West Hartford Conn College Choice: University of Vermont Entered Williston 1955 Soccer 4CWJ5 Baseball 3CWJ 4CWD Y Cabinet 4 Lefty's conversion from a football halfback to a mainstay on the varsity soccer team, together with his scholastic accomplishments at tests to his strength of purpose His amiabrlity and abundant enthusiasm for everything with a pleasant atmosphere enabled him to relieve the low moods of his fellow Seniors As the ring of his laughter fades from Ford's hallways, Williston will feel the loss of a fine personality but it can rest assured that Lefty will soon find equal success on the college
