MARION VERONICA NATOLI The only girl in the senior class who can walk into school on a miserable Monday morning with a gay smile and a cheerful hello is our Ronnie. Beneath her carefree manner there lies a Hair for art that has kept the class well supplied with posters and at- tractive bulletin board displays. Music is her fore- most love, and her great ambition is to make it her career. If you should wander into St. Anthony's Church some Sunday morning at nine o'clock, you will find Veronica at the organ playing with great depth of feeling, O Lord, I Am Not Worthy .

John is not only a prominent member of the academic world at St. lVlary's, but he is also noted for his athletic prowess and excellent qualities of leadership. When John journeys to South Bend in September, St. Mary's loss will be Notre Dame's gain.

WILLIAM EDWARD DOWD Bill is a tall, thin youth whose achievements range from biology to basketball. Bill's quiet personality makes him very popular with his fellow students. His lanky frame and accurate eye combine to make him a coach's delight. During his years at St. lVIary's, Bill has not been fond of mathematics, yet, his amazing mind for facts and figures has made him an authority on the batting average of any major leaguer or the score of any professional bas- ketball game. Furthermore, the touch of his pen can recreate every play and every exciting moment of any sports event.
