Stanley was, born at 2:30 p. m. on July 17. 1930 at Syracuse. Stanley was vice-presi-dent of our Junior class last year. He is 5 feet, 10 inches tall, has brown hair and blue eyes. After graduation next spring, he plans to join the Navy. Stanley’s favorite sport is basketball and naturally, his favorite radio program is "Inside of Sports." His hobby is hunting. Along the line of music he likes “Civilisation." Phil Harris, as vocalist, and Guy Lombardo is “the" orchestra Stanley's favorite food is fries! chicken, and his two weaknesses are food and sleep. He says he can’t get enough of either. He prefers the colors blue and brown, his favorite class is typing; his pet peeve, (watch it. girls!) is to see girls wearing slacks!
