Joan Mary Flynn She may look serious, she may look shy, But she ' s full of fun, twixt you and I. Good things come in small packages, and Joan is no exception to the well-known proverb. A sincere smile, a cheery hello and you know you ' ve just passed Joan in the corridor. Joan was select- ed one of our cheerleaders in her Senior year and she certainly knew how to make the boys win.
