MARILYN ELIZABETH DESANTA Four feet eleven inches of dynamic energy is Mari- lyn. While most girls occupy their leisure time with cooking or sewing, Marilyn feels more comfortable with a hammer and saw, or a paint brush. Since she is an avid coin collector, camera fan, sports en- thusiast, and mathematical wizard, she rarely eats the bread of idleness. Much of her time is occupied taking care of her mischievous younger sister. Be- cause of her incomparable ability to plan activities and because of her excellent qualities of leadership, Marilyn has become a well-known figure in the halls of St. lVIary,s.

ROBERT CECIL BELL Bob, our abridged edition of Einstein, is right at home amid test tubes and formulas. His keen inter- est in science and mathematics is unmatched by any of his fellow students. Aside from his studies, Bob ably directed the lighting operations for HCheape1' By the Dozenv. Bob is also civic-minded, for he has been associated with the Civil Air Patrol for the past three years, consequently, his spare time is spent in the wild blue yonder. His future will begin with service in the United States Air Force. After this, he plans to enter the diflicult field of aeronautical engi- neering.

The look of a dreamer in Sue Conway s wide blue eyes, gives one the impression that she lives in a land of dreams. To some extent this might be true, but it is not a liability but rather an asset, which she uses to her advantage when writing an essay. Her imposing stature enabled her to ascend to great heights during her four years of high school, and captured for her the role of the brisk-mannered teacher, Miss Brill, in the senior's production of Cheaper By the Dozenv. She is especially inter- ested in French and Latin but never lets them stand in the way of a good square dance. Her ability to make warm, unwavering friendships makes Sue both a delightful classmate and a prized friend. Sodality 1, 2, 3, 4, Dramatics 3, 4, Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4, Per Annos 45 Science Club 1.
