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?

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

• ' . ALICE COLE Plympton Women ' s Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Accompanist for Men ' s Glee Club 3, 4. Alice ' s spontaneous giggle wipes away the worries that sometimes intrude themselves on her, but never last long. A keen interest in other people makes her sympathetic with their troubles. Her voice has been used to swell the ranks of the Glee Club while her musical interests are extended to include accompany- ing the Men ' s Glee Club for two years. GERALD CONNOR Watertown Alpha 3, 4; Assistant Photographer 3; Photographer 4; Men ' s Athletic Asso- ciation. Easy-going, but sure of what he wants, Jerry has gone about getting it in the shortest way possible. With little apparent effort, he has surmounted any obstacle presented by the science and geography departments and found time to manage the photography for Alpha. Possessing great ability as a speaker and conversationalist, Jerry was the orator representing the student body at our First Centennial program. With such qualities as these, Jerry is bound to reach the top in a few strides. CLAIRE CURRAN Norwood Library Club 2, 3; Technical Editor of Campus Comment 1, 2, 3, 4; Kindergarten- Primary Club 1, 2, 3 President 4. Claire takes her life, studies, and work very seriously. She enjoys r eading with true appreciation and can express her tastes with genuine critical insight. She goes about all her work with a quiet efficiency. Among her friends Claire often sheds her cloak of seriousness and displays a fun-loving spirit and even occasional bursts of wit. PHYLLIS DALY Randolph Kindergarten-Primary Club 1, 2; Women ' s Athletic Association 1, 2, 3, 4. College and studying to Phyl are very serious, but she ' d rather you didn ' t know it. Soft-spoken, yet deliberate, she is friendly and easy-going. She ' s easily flustered, quick to giggle, and takes a joke good-naturedly; then resumes her calm. To the perpetual surprise and amusement of herself and her gang, Phyl changes her mind as quickly as she makes a decision. Page 28
