When we think of 'Beautiful People’ we think of SHAREE FREE- MAN. She is typical of them. Hers is a perfect balance of SERVICE and LEADERSHIP. She was active in sports until asthma made her give them up. She has been a member of the Forensic League, the Newspaper, the Guitar Club Leadership? Secretary- Treasurer of her Class in Sophomore year. President of the Civ- ics Club. Junior year. Member of the Library Guild four years — President. Senior year. Member of the Glee Club four years — Vice-President. Senior year. Vice President of the Student Coun- cil. Senior year. And of course a member of the National Honor Society. Although MARIBETH McCORMICK has maintained a consistently superior Academic rating throughout her four years at the Acad- emy. she has been most cooperative, warm and friendly. Her ac- tivities have included Athletics. Dramatics. Glee Club. Math League. Spanish Honor Society and the Student Council. MARI- BETH’s service has been principally in the field of tutoring, and she is always available when someone needs help.

The honor most coveted by all students is Membership in the National Honor Society The characteristics of students chosen for the N-H-S are outstanding SCHOLARSHIP, LEADERSHIP, CHARACTER and SERVICE. On these pages we have featured the four Seniors who were selected as Members in their Junior year. Many students measure up to the standards of Scholarship and Character required, but the field nar- rows down when the criterions of Service and above all of Leadership are applied. The write-ups of ANNE. SHAR- EE. MARIBETH and LIZ explain why they have been cho- sen. We have also included a list of those selected for membership in 1971-1972 — with our congratulations! ANNE COYLE was Vice President of her class as a Fresh- man, Class Representative to the Student Council as a Sophomore. Class President as a Junior, and President of the Student Council, the highest possible tribute to her Leadership, as a Senior. She has been active in Athletics, playing on the Varsity Basketball Team this year. She has been a member of the Forensic League and has taken part in Class Plays. As a Sophomore she was a member of the Newspaper Staff. In her first and fourth years she belonged to the Glee Club. By class vote she was chosen to be the Bride in the Senior Fashion Show — a coveted role. If LEADERSHIP has been ANNE COYLE s strong point throughout her four years, SERVICE perhaps has been LIZ SEWARD’s. In a quiet, unassuming way. she has been on hand when help was needed. SERVICE is a way-of-life with LIZ and vacations and weekends find her helping out as a Nurse’s Aid. School Activities for her included Athletics, Dramatics. French Club. Glee Club. Guitar Club. Math League. Service Club — the two crowning honors — Editor- in-Chief of the Yearbook and Membership in the National Honor Society. 84

Meetings of the FATHERS and FRIENDS and the MOTHERS’ GUILD were combined successfully this year The drastic drop in registration due to the irreversible decision to phase out the Academy, led to the sugges- tion that combination meetings of the FATHERS and FRIENDS and the MOTHERS’ GUILD be held on Sunday afternoons. The plan has been successful. A Cocktail Party has been included at each meeting, giving an opportunity for the parents present to get to know each other. The pictures on these pages were taken at the December Meeting. It was at this meeting that MRS. DONALD McCORMICK, representing MRS. MATTHEW BOHRER, President of the MOTHERS’ GUILD, who was unable to be present at the meeting, presented SR. CONSTANCE MARY with a check for FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS, the largest single contribution to the 1972 Yearbook Fund. 86 MRS. LEO J. HINCHEY. Recording Secretary. MRS DONALD J. McCORMICK. Vice President of the- MOTHERS’ GUILD, and MR. JOSEPH CLEARY. Chairman of both the FATHER-DAUGHTER LUNCHEON and the end-of-the year DANCE.
