To you, our own dear families, we the graduates of 1951
dedicate this issue of THE LAURALTON in an effort to ex-
press our deep appreciation and filial gratitude for your many
gifts to usp for the foundation of right principles with which
you have provided us, for your many untold and perhaps un-
known sacrifices which made it possible for us to enjoy the
advantages of a wisely guided education and for the loving
affection with which you have shared the rich experiences of
all our days "beneath these lofty towers".

I um the Way- Mici' Mc-ynvll
9:14
As we trace the influences exerted on our lives from our first faltering steps
to our present steadier advances made firmer in the anticipation of our graduation
from Lauralton, we are brought low in our hearts' depths in the face of countless
gifts of heart and mind, soul and body, freely given us by those who have been
so instrumental in our development as God-loving children of a bountiful Father.
Christ actually and really meant that He is the Way when He spoke in this
fashion. During the past four years we have been trained to the reality of this
divine direction by those who have taken Him literally. We have been formed
by the breath of Truth as before our eager eyes has been opened a world of
wonder illumined by God's love. We went step by step along the way of knowl-
edge and experience having been attuned to the revelatidn that Christ is Truth
and without Him there is no knowing. Because of the example, encouragement
and instruction of those who have turned our young faces to possibilities of
rich Christian living with Christ who is Life, we are prepared to face the
responsibilities of womanhood, confident and unafraid.
It is with a sense of real gratitude that we pause now to acknowledge the
priceless contribution of those who have brought us face to face with the true
Way Who leads to eternal Lifeg we are deeply grateful to . . .

RITA ELIZABETH AGOSTINO
Dainty, ladylike Rita seems to have time for every-
thing. A good student and a loyal friend, Rita can
be counted on to help out in any situation with her
quiet, unassuming sense of responsibility. The har-
mony of her happy nature leaves us no doubts but
that Rita will be a success.

LORRAINE SHIRLEY BADUINI
With her perfect styling Lorraine could easily
create a sensation in the field of fashion. Her dancing
brown eyes, and statuesque beauty have brightened
many a day for her classmates. Marge and Lorraine
are a constant twosome seen "bobbing" in and out
of the classrooms. We are sure that Lorraine will
continue to create laughter and sunshine wherever
she goes.
LITTORIA GLORIA BELTRONE
Littoria, the piano virtuoso of the Senior class,
las given her time and talents freely and cheerfully.
-Ier quiet sympathy and friendliness have proved a
soon on many a blue day, and her winning ways
re an assurance of her future success which we
uspect will come in the Held of music since she has
lready earned high ratings in her appraisal examina-
ions at the keyboard.
KATHRYN CLANCY BARRETT
Meet attractive, dark-eyed Kay, who is always
ready for a good time. Her musical talent is ex-
pressed to the tune of 'AA Rainy Day Refrain" as
those boarding the 8:23 know. A sincere and loyal
friend, Kay undoubtedly will always have the multi-
tude of friends of which she even now can boast.

DIANE MARIE BENINCO
Outstanding in the business department for two
years, Diane has shown her manifold talents in a
dependable, soft spoken and friendly way. Her
gracious efficiency combined with her good sense,
make us expect her future work to be as thorough as
everything has been which she has done at Lauralton.

GWENDOLYN SUSAN BOBER
"Poised gaiety" best describes Gwen, one of our
favorite people. Her capability and efficiency as class
treasurer for two years makes her indispensable in
all class plans. She is always associated with class
dues, irrepressible giggles, an unusual interest in
herbs, and Rosemarie. Her originality and hard work
were a rich contribution to the costume designs for
"At the Foot of the Madonna." We associate popu-
larity and success with Gwen.
BEVERLY RITA BONNEY
Bev's golden hair and her sociability rival each
other for brightness. Skill and cleverness have shown
themselves in her ability to conjure beautiful argyles
from a maze of little, colorful yarn balls. Sincere in
her ambition to become a nurse, Bev will radiate joy
and happiness to all she meets and all she may have
occasion to care for.

ljoyed being at Lauralton as much as we have en-
yed being here with her.

MARGARET ELIZABETH CARROLL
Tall, stately Marge, who believes "silence is
golden," is one of the dignified personages in the

CAROL MARY CONHEADY
Oh, "so-o" quiet, but oh, "so-0" sweet is dainty,
demure Carol. Her meek, pleasant smile denotes the
underlying warmth of her whole personality. Gen-
erosity and goodwill make her a particular favorite
among the Senior boarders. Carol will seek success
the quiet way, but nonetheless, she will achieve it.

MARA JOYCE DEGROFF
Mara is '5l's scientist, philosopher, writer and
orator all rolled into one happy personality. She can
be I.'Allegro one day and Il Penseroso the next and
yet never disturb you with the change. Her original
ideas and the frankness with which she asserts them
have made her a treasure among us. Mara is the type
who will accept literally the challenge that she "can
change the world!" and we who know and enjoy
her will be looking forward to a few significant
alterations.

BARBARA ANNE DE LUCA
A steady, dependable worker and a meticulous
dresser, Barbara's varied interests cover almost every
Held from bowling to X-Ray. Her witty remarks
have brightened Shorthand classes for two years.
We only hope that flaxeri-haired Barb will be able to
sing "Oh, What a Beautiful Morning" all her life
as a reward for the sunshine she has brought to
others in her loyal, friendly, sincere way.
TH ERESE DOLORES FERRIO
Beneath I,auralton's lofty towers since second
grade, "Tessie" leaves a vacancy here which will not
be hlled quickly. Her hearty laughter and vivacious
way have brought many good times to her class-
mates. Whether she centers her life in the laboratory
or oflice, originality and independence will lead to
wortltwhile achieventent, we know.
ANN FRANCES DOUGIELLO
Cheerful, lively Ann is never without either her
car or Peggy. Noted for "that innocent air" we often
hear Ann saying, "I don't understand". Her carefree
manner is always accompanied by her contagious
laugh but because of her sincerity and thoughtful-
ness, we know that Ann will be the efficient nurse
she hopes to be after graduation.
PATRICIA FRANCES FINNEGAN
Quiethand reserved Pat can be described as patience
personified. No matter what the circumstances may
be, Pat remains cool as the proverbial cucumber at
all times. Although she has not decided on a career
yet, at least as far-as we can discover, it will be
marked by success because that's the kind of girl we
know Pat is.

ak-liztirecl, brown-eyed Barbara is a real Irish
coleen who loves fun and driving. We'll never forget
the tail end of her half-finished argyle that was
always seen trailing out from under her arm. If her
family has a coat of arms, it surely must include four
knitting needles. With all her love of fun however,
Barb can handle serious moments and situations
astonishingly well. That's why her future promises
to be bright.

CLAIRE ELIZABETH FLEMING
When vivacious, good natured Kay is mentioned
I
two things automatically come to mind-the Dodgers,
who could never exist without her loyal support,
and her quick wit which the Lord bestowed upon
her in abundance. A girl of many talents, she is
right at home entertaining her host of friends or
playing Pasteur in the Chem Lab. Kay plans to follow
in her father's footsteps by making dentistry her
career.

JOAN MAUREEN FLYNN
Ever willing to help others, joan has proved her
loyalty to Lauralton and to her classmates by her
good-heartedness. She puts the best into everything
that she does and thus has become noted for earnest
application at studies, a tricky backstick in Hockey,
and close guarding in basketball. Joy and happiness
will always be hers as a deserving reward for her
generosity and sincerity.
MARY ELLEN FOLEY
Few clubs or activities exist at Lauralton which
do not claim talented, competent "Bird" as a mem-
ber. Mary-of-the-magic-keyboard always has time to
start fun on its way with her subtle wit, matchless
facial expressions and well rounded personality. We
admit unanimously that she has been a credit to
Lauralton, and there is little doubt that she will al-
ways be a sterling example of the highest ideals.

IRENE BERNADINE GEMZA
A task is always well done if it is put into Irene's
:apable hands. A skilled barn dancer, "Cookie" is

:hatter reveal her sparkling personality, and her
unny disposition is a sure guarantee of future success
md happiness.

THOMASINA ANN FROUGE
"Tommy" should advance far in her chosen field
of Law, for she already has a reputation for clear
thinking, sound logic, and irrefutable presentation
of argument. Her school friends will all miss her
stimulating conversation and quick wit. She will
probably always be remembered for her incompa-
rable adventure in the library with Nancy.

EILEEN JEAN GUERIN
Sincere, docile Eileen has given to '51 much joy
and the good example of wholesome application to
studies. Her quiet but nonetheless real wit has con-
tributed many gay moments to our school days.
Eileen's plans for the future include college and a
teaching career and we see in both of these hopes
true success which will come because of her sense of
duty and an unselhsh desire to help others.

BARBARA GRANT HAMMOND
Barbara is never seen without that friendly smile
or . . . without Sue. If you're ever lost in New Haven,
call "Barb" - she knows all about it. The first to

fountain of mirth. Active in sports and interested in
everything and everyone, she has proved herself to

MARILYN LOUISE HILL
Marilyn, the first president of the newly organized
Student Council, demonstrated clearly her capability
and power of leadership in this executive position.
Being an excellent photographer herself, her clever
impersonation of Mr. Preim at the Class Night

ability goes along with her lovely features and a
voice you like to hear. Graduation will leave a place
in the Choral and Dramatic Clubs that won't be

FRANCES CATHERINE JON ES
In Frances we find gay and light-hearted fem-

friendliness. Her striking eyes which are so ex-
pressive, are constantly sparkling. Nursing lies ahead
for Frances and that gracious smile and serene poise,
which seem to be a part of her, will be a source of
joy to her patients as it has been to us.
PATRICIA ANN KIZARNS
To recount Pat's many attributes of face and form,
her exceptionally graceful appearance and her strong
oratorical powers would be platitudinous. Her active
interests include such things as sports and Girl
Scouts, two activities to which she has made worth-
while contributions, but Pat is just as at home on a
dance floor as she is at the camphre for she is
sociable by nature. The business field which will
shortly claim Pat will indeed find her an asset.

DOLORES CARPENTER LISTRO
Dolores has revealed herself to us at times as a
perplexed scientist, a hardy, good-humoured mari-

Such a combination of talents goes to make a
unanimously admired and sought after person that
'51 is proud to claim as its very own. Though her
immediate plans for the future are hidden from the
gaze of the multitude we know they are worthwhile
ones because Dolores specializes in doing good things.

To know Pat even casually is to admire her whole-
heartedly. As president of the A. A., Pat has had
many duties which sl1e performed skillfully and
cheerfully. Her bright spirit and quick wit make her
a favorite among her classmates. Capable and sincere,
yet at the same time fun loving, Pat has proved to
be generous and dependable. The class of '51 wishes
its future M. D. all the success which she truly
deserves.

The class of '51 stumbled in with the New
Look in September, I9-17. For our motto we de-
cided on "Forward 'Till NVe Reach The Height"
and we sang Mary ,lane Qt1ick's "Freshman
Polka." Fast friends were made witlt the Merry-
go-round and the ping pong table.
Some of us became reporters on "Highlights"
-Pat XVilliams, Mary Foley, Denise O'Connor,
Suzanne Sltay, Peggy Rooney and Therese Ferrio.
The Freshman-Sophomore ntission project took
place in December. XVe worked hard on tickets,
games, refreshments, posters antl programs with
successful resttlts.
By tlte first snow, the now past masters of the
art of wearing a uniform were familiar with
strange tongues such as Porto, portas, portat, and
xy?
Freshmen who remembered Sister Chrysostom
for lter pre-Lauralton supervising mourned her
sudden death.
YVith March came our one-day Retreat, held
during Holy XVeek. Father Dolan helped us make
our first one at Lauralton spiritually uplifting.
On St. Patrick's Day the wearing of the green
held forth as our sisters, the "forty-niners", joined
tts for tlte annual banquet.
The national piano auditions were held and
Littoria Beltrone was our champion.
Mary Lou Reardon and Barbara Speer were
ottr able representatives in the state-wide Latin
contest.
Making up the cross of the Living Rosary, we
raised our arms to form the lily arch when
Theresa Chicanis crowned the statues of Our
Lady, the glorious Queen of the May.
XVe concluded a suceessfttl freshman year under
the direction of Patricia Kearns, our President,
joan Larsen, our "Veep"3 Cecil -Iewett, our Sec-
retary, and Florence Potts, our Treasurer. -Ioan
Kleinknecht acted as our Mission Representative.
Our top tune had just changed to tlte "Sopho-
more Polka"g our locomotion had changed from
the elevator to the dumb waiter, and we finally
were able to Gnd our way to the Biology Lab,
when we elected our oflicers. They were: Presi-
dent, Denise O'Connor: Vice-President, Suzanne
Shay, Secretary, Francine Queenthg and Treas-
urer, Tina Pauley. Patricia Williams, Lois Nei-
dermier and Katherine Barrett were our Mission
Representatives.
Important additions were made to '51 in the
persons of: Flora Cabranes, Betsy Colley, Ann

Jenemann, Barbara Hatnmond, Marilyn Hill,
Nancy Kernick, Dolores Listro, and Frances
Pavano.
About tl1is time the Advisory Board was
formed, with power to advise and revise. Sopho-
mores wearing the orange badge were: Gwen
Bober, Mary Foley, Madeline Leahy, Pat Kearns,
Maureen Reidy, Peggy Rooney, Mary Ann Samo-
rajczyk and Barbara Speer.
Ann jenemann, Madeline Leahy, and Edna
May Whitney won positions as reporters on
"Highligh!s."
With the death of Sister Mary Magdalen, our
class lost a saintly inspiration, a gracious friend,
and an expert director of stage art.
On December 3, our childhood pictures
adorned the auditorium walls in keeping with
the spirit of the Mission Day baby booth.
Close to the feast of the Immaculate Concep-
tion, probation was over and we were Sodalists.
What holy pride was ours when Father O'Connell
gave each one a silver-bow pin with a combina-
tion Miraculous and Scapular Medal!
Sophomores celebrated the holidays by giving
a Christmas Play with Mary l.ou Dailey as the
Blessed Mother, and Pat Kearns in the role of
St. joseph. It was enjoyed by kind critics-espe-
cially by our Senior class.
On February l5, we decked the fdiningj hall
with red and white for our banquet in honor of
our Senior sisters.
Brother Shuster came to Lauralton to speak
about Catholic literature. Remember Mulligan?
Suddenly-it was spring, which meant a two-
day Retreat for underclassmen. Father Stack
taught simplicity as the keynote of sanctity.
Spring also meant crowning, and, being bona
fide Sodalists, we marched as "Hail Mary's" in
the Living Rosary, praying especially for Claire
Bauer's intentions as she crowned the Virgin.
Of our Sophomore year, as our French scholars
say-"C'etait fini."
As we picked up the strains of the "Junior
Polka," in September, 1949, Ann Jenemann as
President, Pat Williams as Vice-President, Irene
Gemza as Secretary, and Gwen Bober a
urer were holding the reins of State. Maureen
Reidy and Joan Kleinknecht were our Mission
Representatives.
This year, much to our delight, Peg Fitzgerald,
Kay Fleming, Ellen Kiernan, Marge Petek, Sally
Plumb joined our Lauralton family.
Barbara Flynn and Nancy Relihan were ac-
cepted as reporters for "Highlights", A precedent
s Treas-
was established when, for tlte hrst time, juniors
received positions on the Stall. Mary Foley, Mau-
reen Reidy, Suzanne Shay, Florence Potts, I.or-
raine Baduini, Doris Pulie, Beverly Bonney,
Katherine Barrett, Thomasina Frouge, and Mary
jane Quick were the lucky ones.
Active tnembers of the Advisory Board were:
Ann -Ienemann, Maureen Reidy, Littoria Bel-
trone, Irene Gemza, Mary Lou Dailey, joan
Flynn, and Denise O'Connor.
Father Mulligan's three day Retreat brought
calm strength which we used with rewarding and
satisfying results. i
Unusual centerpieces, dolls and llags of all na-
tions, highlighted the Mission Land tea room,
the traditional Junior contribution to Mission
Day which was held on November Ili. Total earn-
ings for the Missions mounted to RSI385.
Coming back from the Christmas vacation, we
were met by tnid-term exams, but even they could
not dull our enthusiasm for the Valentine Dance,
our hrst at Lauralton. Despite minor mishaps, it
was a social success as llowers blended with hearts
and Bill Dargon's orchestra played behind palms.
By this time, we could improvise "autems" to
cover any situation and had graduated, magna
cum laude, front Library Science courses.
Maureen Reidy, Ann -Ienemann, Nancy Mor'
ganroth, .loan Flynn, and Thomasina Frouge
helped "Captain Crossbones" win his bride in the
annual Choral Club operetta.
W'arm weather meant the Crowning of Our
Lady with Cecelia Ross serving in 'the place of
honor. Mild weather meant, too, the Junior Prom
with white and gold programs and, of course, this
sante wartn weather meant Class Night with its
salty laughter.
Tempus had fugited and our happiest, busiest
year at Lauralton had begun.
First, ollicers were selected-President, Ann
ilenemann: Vice-President, Suzanne Shay: Secre-
tary, Mary Foley: Treasurer, Gwen Bober.
,Ioan Kleinknecht was made Editor-in-Chief of
THE 1951 LA URALTON, Mary .lane Quick,
Art Editor and Diane Beninco was chosen to
juggle the important Hnancial figures.
Marilyn Hill became the first president of the
Student Council. -Ioan Kleinknecht, Mary Lou
Dailey, Irene Cemza, Mary Grace Holmes, and
Ellen Kiernan represented us in the "Cabinet".
Scroll was active with Mary Alice Daley as
president of the St. Thomas More division and
Barbara Hammond as president of the Cardinal
Newman division.

Foundation Day! The juniors' Tea Room
Pat lVilliams, president of the AA., co-opera-
ting with Miss XVoitovich, worked hard lor a busy
year which included specialties of Held hockey,
basketball and softball.
'l'he Debating team, captained by 'l'homasina
Frouge, Mara Deflroll, Maureen Reidy and
Mary Foley, waged spirited disputes over current
topics-Resolved: "Esperanto should be made
compulsory in our high schools." The answer was
"Yesl"
During our three day Retreat, Father Drolet
stressed the necessity of meditation for Sodalists.
November I6 marked our last Mission day. Our
food table, under joan Satmary's capable direc-
tion, tempted both students and guests with
home-made delicacies-"pastries, preserves, and
pickles".
Thanksgiving vacation was prolonged for two
days as mighty winds blew Lauralton into a heat-
less, lightless state.
The class of '53 gave us fun and food on the
29th. with a gala sister class party.
Our rings came at last! Our seniority was
gained amid our last "juvenile" whoops.
Everyone liked the Senior's book which was
made in honor of Foundation Day, December 12.
Nancy Relihan was chosen to be president of
The Thespians. The club's first dramatic produc-
tion was, "At the Foot of the Madonna," and
the 5lers who starred, were, Ann -lenemann -as
the Madonna, Francine Queenth as the Queen,
and Maureen Reidy as the Martyr.
Seniors returned from their Christmas vacation
and heard Father Knott's linal conference of his
well-known pre Pre-Cana series.
Littoria Beltrone, Rosemarie Chapdelaine,
-Ioan Flynn, Ann tlenemann, Nancy Morganroth,
Mary Jane Quick, Maureen Riedy, Nancy Reli-
han and Barbara Speer were the Seniors featured
in the operetta, "Mam'zelle Taps" on April 6,
followed soon after by a joint concert with Ches-
hire, and another, with Yale. Nancy Morganroth
was the club's President this year.
Another "last at Lauralton" day came when
Maureen Reidy, our prefect, crowned the statues
of Our Lady.
By now, very few 5lers had not yet welcomed
tl1e Pilgrim Virgin to their homes.

Our Senior Prom was rich in llowers and fun,
niusic and lovely gowns.
'l'he day of Recollection was a quiet relief from
the activities that were crowding and overflowing
these last Senior days.
A few days of this last stretch were devoted to
getting over severe writers-crainp which is an
annual Senior affliction. QStatisticians noted that
this usually coincided with the distribution of
yearbooksj
We laughed fwith tears in our eyesj at the
antics of the Juniors on Class Night when we
found what faccording to themj was our destiny.
And then-a strange feeling of unreality was
ours as we walked with a new and surprising dig-
nity to the strains of "Pomp and Circumstancen.
Suddenly . . . the "Senior Polka" was a faint
refrain.

Snow had fallen, snow on snow,
Snow on snow,
In the bleak mid-winter
Long ago.
My thoughts were a strange confusion of
adventurous discontent and peaceful satisfaction
as I pushed through a bustling crowd at the
LaGuardia airport. I had a few minutes to spend
yet before the San Francisco Express take-off, so
I was extremely delighted to discover standing
before me, the famed equestrian, Mary Alice
Daley. What would have been an eternity of time
till take-off was consumed in a minute as old
friends bridged the ten year gap since their grad-
uation from Lauralton. In strictest confidence she
informed me that Maureen Regan, whom she
had just seen off on the plane for Texas, had
left to confer with the directors of the C.j.P.C.
lCactus jet Plane Companyj about the price at
which she would buy them out. I was surprised
to hear that Maureen had become a mathe-
matical wizard and business tycoon.
O
Both whirring, impetuous motors of the plane
roared as Nancy Kernick, the stewardess, in her
typically gentle fashion informed me that I was
"holding things up!" lMaybe DOWN is more
like itlj Once on the plane, Nancy asked me if
I had seen Nancy Morganroth's newest Musical,
"I Don't Care," which had recently opened. Of
course everyone knows both music and lyrics
were written by our own Mary Foley. We've
already read the reviews in the "Times" by Mary
Lou Reardon. Nancy was surprised to hear that
the review was written before the Show. But, of
course, Mary Lou was able to do it because
Nancy made her sit through all the rehearsals.
I would never have known the oflicious woman
journalist who sat next to me to be Peggy
Rooney, had she not exclaimed "Sweet Motherl"
While talking about old times with fiery-
penned Peggy I learned that "La" Dailey is hap-
pily married to . . . She just couldn't remember
his name! This.little stall of memory didn't stop
us and we continued to talk. I wasn't at all sur-
prised to hear from Peg that Rosemarie Chap-
delaine is now the gym instructor at Lauralton,
specializing in a new game of her own invention,
Hockey-at-your-own-risk. They use croquet mal-
lets instead of the conventional and relatively
safe sticks. That led me to the discovery that
Madeline Leahy is teaching Latin at our Alma
Mater and is working for her Masters Degree on
the side.
Getting back to the subject of the show, which
was an overwhelming success, Peggy said she and
Rose had gone to see it and afterwards stopped
in for coffee at the PIGEON NEST, a lovely
dining establishment owned and operated by
Loretta Pellegrino, and while there she had
noticed Marge Petek sitting with a group of
friends from the Opera House. Naturally there
was a jubilant reunion of Lauralton's 5lers, but
Peg amusedly related that it was a short-lived
reconciliation as they were interrupted by enthu-
siastic applause which heralded the entrance of
the PIGEON NEST'S versatile singing Emcee,
Joan Flynn.
Peggy hnally ran out of breath, which gave
stewardess Kernick a chance to politely take her
leave of us to go about her job. I realized as we
plummeted onto the field at San Francisco, that
we had talked for three thousand miles. I almost
wished for the old-fashioned planes that took at
least half a day 'to cover the country.
I stepped off the plane and stood looking
around the crowded airport. This was the mid-
point of my trip to Hawaii. After bidding a
sincerely fond adieu to Peg, I experienced a sud-
den feeling of loneliness. I had been advised by
dependable friends that Hawaii is the place to
take a vacation but I must confess to a change
of heart at that moment. As I walked about the
San Francisco airport, waiting for the Hawaiian
Express to refuel, I noticed a familiar face. There
standing at the information desk, conversing
vigorously with the traveling agent, I saw the
famous Kay Fleming. The agent, Ann Dougiello,
was trying to explain that the collective family
rate does not apply to groups the size of the
Fleming tribe. I felt somewhat like an auto-
graph hound as I approached the famous singing
comedienne. But soon, oblivious of time, Ann,
Kay and I were sitting discussing the news, past
and present. Among other things, I picked up
these tasty tidbits:
62
Ann Jenemann, whom we all know as the
author of many of our Catholic best-selling
novels, is working on a new one entitled, "Then
came Charley!" . . . Nancy Relihan, who has
already proved her merit as a great actress, fthe
renowned Miss Tarrymorelj is going to make her
debut as Juliet in September! . . . King Features
has just purchased the copyright to Mary Jane
Quick's newest cartoon creation, "The Imps"
. . . Doris Pulie has become a French-English
interpreter at the United Nations' Headquarters.
Our conversation ended only when they an-
nounced that the plane for Hawaii was to leave
in a few minutes. Once again winging away
across the miles, I began to read a copy of the
Bridgeport Post which Ann thoughtfully had
slipped to me, knowing I would be interested.
I noticed immediately from front-page headlines
that Thomasina Frouge was running for Congress
on the Republican ticket opposed on the Demo-
cratic ticket by the"'good-humored candidate",
Denise O'Connor. From the society page two
familiar faces smiled up at me, Marilyn Hill
portrayed in the traditional lace and veil of a
June bride while Helen Whelan's picture was
captioned with the familiar phrase, "Announces
her engagement." On the next page, there was
a stimulating editorial by the new editor Jban
Kleinknecht, a masterpiece entitled "Dependa-
bility-a key to success." A few pages further
on, there was a full-sized ad announcing the
opening of a new drugstore. Beneath the two
lovely pictures, I read, "Head Beauty Consult-
ant . . . Lorraine Baduini, Head Pharmacist
. . . Irene Gemzal"
In another picture on the back page, I recog-
nized Sue Shay, who, the paper informed me,
had just received a key position at the Yale
School of Music - doing research work on scales.
Seen congratulating Sue in the picture was the
country's outstanding criminal lawyer, Barbara
Hammond! Lauralton's influence in the world
is certainly far-reaching!
The paper fell from my grasp as the plane
touched the ground. As I tripped down the gang-
plank the beautiful spirit of peaceful, balmy
Hawaii was soon soaked up by my weary bones.
Even the fact that Hawaii is another state of the
Union does not detract from its exotic fascina-
tion. As I left the airport a taxicab occupied
by a sophisticated dark-eyed young lady stopped
in front of me. In a moment, I recognized her
to be Kay Barrett. Soon I was in the cab talking
about everything from beans to bones. Kay told
me that she was in Hawaii only for a short vaca-
tiong she had to get back to Bridgeport in time
for her partner, Margaret Relihan, to take her
vacation. 'l'hey are the joint owners of the coun-
try's outstanding hat designing shop. Kay said
that among their best customers are Sally Plumb,
now famous for her radio portrayal of "X'Vhen
a Girl Marries" and Barabara Speer who has
her own quarter hour broadcast of "Music for
the tired heart." The perplexed driver inter-
rupted our chattering to inquire about the hotel
we wanted to be driven to. In a few minutes
we were being ushered into the fashionable
Leilani Hotel by the proprietress herself, Fran-
cine Queenth.
I saw Francine just a few years ago at Mar-
garet Carroll's wedding. QStrange . . . again I
find I can't remember the groom's IILIIIICJ
Francine, beside herself with excitement because
Arthur Godfrey was doing his first trans-oceanic-
television broadcast from her hotel, invited us
up to the studio. just as we came in, Arthur's
"girl Friday", Pat Williams, was introducing to
the television screens of the world their guest
of honor, Littoria Beltrone. I found myself so
engrossed in I,ittoria's playing that I didn't
notice another great Television star, sittings next
to me . . . Mara DeGroffl She waited patiently,
until I was de-fascinated from Littoria's concerto
fan opus of her own, incidentlyj and it was with
a tearful eye and joyful heart that I shook her
hand. I noticed the propitious frown on Pat's
brow and hy way of explanation I said, "I always
cry when I'm happy.
And who wouldn't be happy! In one day, at
tl1e four corners of the earth I have felt the smile,
the handshake and the embrace of so many old
friends: a smile that relates all the Lauralton
friendliness, a handshake that expresses its won-
derful spirit of co-operation, and an embrace that
gathers and brings together the fond memories
of the past. I suddenly realized that Lauralton
is not just a building or a group of peopleg
Lauralton is a spirit embedded in our hearts,
a spirit which neither time nor tide can take
from us.

The spiritual life of the upperclassmen is Centered in the Sodality of Our Lady,
under the direftion of Sister Hertnan Joseph. It is afliliated with the l'rima
