RICHARD JAMES DWYER For a witty remark or a helping hand, Remmy is your man. His sympathetic nature prompts him to rise swiftly to any emergency, no matter what it may be. He proves his versatility whether it is por- traying Doctor Burton in uCheaper By the Dozenn, or lighting the stage for any event. His favorite pastime, while not in the studio dark room, is his car, since he is one of the capitalistic car-owning seniors. His future plans are in the 'awild blue yon- derf, Wherever he flies and whatever he does, his easy manner and humor will always win him friends.

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.

I LAWRENCF PATRICK MASTIN ' A tall lad with a big smile describes one of our seniors, Larry Mastin. Sports are Larry's specialty, therefore, he has been a great help to his school in this particular field. He may be tabbed as one of the greatest guards ever to don the familiar green and gold uniform, symbolic of St. lVlary's football team. On the basketball court he is a fast and tricky player, proving to be a stellar man under the boards for Coach J im Casey's fighting five. ln the future, Larry plans to be a big Red Dragon at Cortland State Teachers College.
