JANICE BRENNAN Springfield President of Dormitory Council 4; Dormitory Council 3, 4; Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Library Club 3, 4; Campus Comment 4; Dramatic Club 3. Everything is relative is the philosophy of our Dorm Council president. Remember that freshman who wore the flashy red pajamas? That sophomore who began to study her program at 10.15? The junior who spent an hour trying to light an oil stove without success? That dignified senior who wanted to look academic in her cap and gown? All these are Jan — a typical Irish colleen with a smile that won ' t come off — cute — carefree — coy. MYNETTE BRIODY Taunton Women ' s Athletic Association 1, 2, 3, 4. With the serenity befitting a senior, Mynette calmly takes life as it comes in the classroom. Outside, and with the proper environment, she is ready for fun and nonsense. Her personality is as unruffled as her neatly kept hair, and she talks very slowly and fixes her eyes on you very seriously as she talks or listens. She ' s always ready, willing and able — with the ink eradicator! FRANCIS CALLAN Brockton Dramatic Club 2, 3; President 4,- Newman Club 3, 4,- Men ' s Athletic Association. Francis has led the Dramatic Club through another successful year. Not only officially, but through his many character portrayals, he has done much to raise the level of amateur theatrical performances at B. T. C. His interests lie not only in the production of the drama but also in creating it, having just com- pleted a clever three act play. We shall always remember Miss Hill asking Francis to account for his tardiness in our senior Lit. class! It was then we dis- covered that Literature was not only his interest. IDA CARDOZA Taunton Hobby Club 2, 3; Topics of the Day Club 2, 3, 4,- Women ' s Athletic Association Representative 3. Scientific minded, Ida has spent most of her four years at B. T. C. in the biol- ogy lab or studying formulas for chemistry. She is one of the library ' s best book borrowers, reading everything from methods books to the Arts. She does this reading to give herself a better liberal arts education which she thinks she would not get otherwise. Easy going but sure of what she wants she has gone about getting it in an admirable way. Page 26

MARJORIE BOUNDY Belmont Dormitory Council 3, 4,- Vice-President of Dormitory Council 4; Newman Club 2, 3, 4; Glee Club 4. When you go to bed and find a pie bed or wake up to an alarm at 2.00 a.m. disregard the innocent stare in her eyes — it was Marge all right. With an even temper and an ever-present smile, Marge is always ready for fun. What with her practical jokes, her frequent trips to Brockton and her dashing to classes, life for her is as varied as it is disconcerting. PRISCILLA BOWLEY Randolph Kindergarten-Primary Club 1,2; Camera Club 4; Women ' s Athletic Association. A love of reading and a retentive mind have formed Priscilla ' s background of valuable information. She takes advantage of the college activities which meet her interests, and makes the most of them. Her quiet unassuming manner and voice seem to reflect her inner personality. She saves her grand sense of humor for her intimates among whom is the inseparable Mercia. FLORENCE BRADSHAW Somerset Basketball 1, 2, 3; Kindergarten-Primary Club 1. Among the best-dressed seniors, Florence rates high, and can proudly say that she makes most of the good-looking outfits which she wears. Very artistically inclined, she can often be found in the art room putting the finishing touches on some handwork. Her interests do not all pertain to art, however, for during the four years, Florence has been an active figure on the basketball and tennis courts. Doing so well in so many fields, we feel that she must have profited from that freshman course on how to budget one ' s time well. ANNETTE BREEN Belmont Editor of Alpha 4; Assistant Editor 3; Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Choir 1, 2, 3, A, Dormitory Council 3; Newman Club 1, 2, 3, 4. Who can spend more time listening to Artie Shaw ' s recordings tha n Pat? Our editor is a versatile person, who startles her tables by long discussions on the Embargo Act while flipping spoons into glasses. The debonair Patricia presents an amasing combination of frankness and tact. Pet aversion? Hypocrites! She dislikes all compliments even when they are sincere, strangely enough: add to this a large cup of high ideals, mature judgement, and understanding, and that ' s Pat — a truly genuine person!

MERCIA CARTER New Bedford Women ' s Athletic Association 1, 2, 3, 4. Soft-spoken and unobtrusive, nothing ever seems to bother Mercia. Always ready for excitement and fun, she and her friends have been pillars at all of our school dances. Emphatic and decisive when she expresses an opinion she usually ends by laughing it off. As conductor of the New Bedford Express she has rattled, shivered, and shaken with it but has worn real well! BERNARD CASTLEMAN Quincy Men ' s Athletic Association. Coming to us from Colby, Bernie joined us to get his B.S. degree and to add much fun and wisdom to our classes. Cassy is a regular man about town. Vibrating with personality, he can tell a joke with a flavor all his own. Ready to oblige at all times, he often converted his sport sedan into a free taxicab especially for dorm students. RUTH CHADWICK East Bridgewater Day Student Council 4; First Vice-President 4,- Women ' s Athletic Association 1,2,3,4. Ruth ' s easy-going manner, both wins friends and gets things done. She has a keen interest in athletics, especially basketball and has supervised that sport in our Junior High School for two years. Active in day student affairs, dancing noons in the gym, and talking of California and Swifts Beach (which we know is grand for house parties) are just some of the activities which have occupied so much of Ruth ' s time for the last four years. Her capacity for friendship, her dignity and her ever-present smile help to make her one of the most popular seniors. VIRGINIA CHAMBERS Everett Orchestra 1, 2, 3; Glee Club 1, 2, 3; Women ' s Athletic Association. To those who know her well, Ginny ' s a tease, a captivator, and a teller of tall, lively tales. To those of us who do not know her so well she ' s correct, a little haughty, and unafraid to stand up for her rights. She is a musician of high standing, winning praise as accompanist of the orchestra. Ginny used to join lustily in singing the Song of the Marines, but now she has changed her tune, huh Ginny? Page 27
