STANLEY BARAK Stanley's chief interest is photography and he has done a great deal in this field. He possesses a zeal for work which would amaze anyone. Much of his time was spent in constructing the new stage sets, which certainly do him credit. Stan may not always appear willing to do a favor. but he usually does it and does it well. STANLEY BARAK PEGGY BEAUDOUIN SIBYL BECK THOMAS BARNWELL PEGGY BEAUDOUIN Blonde beauty and bubbling personality contribute to the charm of one of our best-loved Seniors. One cannot forget Peg's portrayal of Barbara Pearson in What A Life and her term as president of her Junior Class. We must also mention her active membership in the Dramatic Club and Asterian Society. Peggy's smile and cheerful disposition have endeared her to Woodmere. SIBYL BECK Serious-minded yet prompted by inexplicable causes to bursts of hilarity is our own Sibyl. ln a debate, she treads middle ground caring more for the human values than anything else. She was a member of the Dramatic Club, Art Club, and lnternational Relations Club. Sibyl's reading in English class is a source of delight, especially when she injects her emotions into characters such as Lady Macbeth. THOMAS BARNWELL Tommy Barnwell is the more silent type who does not in- dulge in swift patter. However, he is earnest in all he does and says. He was quite successful as an end on the football team this year, in addition to going out for track. Tommy has red hair of the less vivid variety and his gentle sense of humor is sensitive to the wit of others. 13
