NANCY PHELPS CROSS I'll be merry and free I'lI be sad for nobody. Nancy's egervescent personality has made her a well-known and loved girl in our class. Highly excitable and always on the go, our Fancy Nancy leads her friends in a dizzy whirl trying to keep up with her, usually in vain. In the summertime she likes to visit the Major League ball parks and her favorite player is Vern Stephens of the Red Sox. Nan's interest in class activities is attested by her sincere desire to be of help to anyone who needs it. She plans to enter the retail merchandising field and, with her ability and know-how, we feel sure our Nance will be a success. With her goes the wishes of '52.

In addition, lim is very fond of baseball and can always be found at hrst base during the baseball season. He attends most of the class functions and adds to the gaiety of these affairs. The Class of '52 wishes you the best of luck, Jim, in whatever field you choose. History Circle, Tau Sigmag Baseball 3, 4. JAMES JOSEPH DAVITT Men of few words are the best of men.

ELIZABETH BELL DENNY A lovely smile goes a long way. A mischievous twinkle in her blue eyes, a ready smile, accompanied by a flash of dimples, this is Betty, a carefree, fun-loving lass who joined us during our Sophomore year. One look at Betty and one easily recognizes a typical debutante, a girl talented at dancing, singing, and making friends, as well as a sports fan, a good baseball player, and a swimmer. Betty will be a success in whatever profession she chooses, with her sunny disposition and cheerful willingness to work. Christmas Showg History Circleg Class Book Staff. VICTOR J.
