Schoolhouse Lane Morristown, New jersey Thought is the labour of the intellect, rexerie is its pleasure. Cjoznefirz .gaftus Ni1m ' lIV00cZy - H ago Nina came to CA. as a ferocious, rip-roaring, Western-clad III who loved to pinch people in French class and spank seniors. She won great distinction in the boarding department for her magnificent voice in the game of barnyard, and for a while was known as Stella fwid a joisey accentj. Since then she has been a member of the hockey and lacrosse varsities, Head of Current Events, and a strong supporter of the alto section in Chorus, Choir, and the class octet. You can always hear some classical music playing in her room and see her name on all the concert lists. What with all this, reading magazines fespecially Porzfj, and having impromptu wrestling matches with any unwise opponent, there is little time left for work. You think that's bad! I haven't even started yetll' Woody automatically sets the alarm for 4 A.M, on Sunday nights. Nina certainly would be the head of the CA. Grammarian Society if there were one. Whatever you do, be sure not to say something like, She ran to milklunch like she'd just gone off her diet. Those unfortunate ones caught with bad grammar are immediately corrected and called idiot child . She says this only because she has a redhead's temper. No need to ask, Does she, or doesn't she . . .? XM 4ri'r-' ily? .Staff

Efizaffafg gqisaaanfi On a rainy Monday morning, Betsy can be seen tripping Cliterallyj off the 8:30 train as it rolls into the Concord station from Groton. Soon after, she appears - loaded down with books in her arms, pencil in mouth, hair net over hair - scuffing along to her cubby. After throwing her books in her cubby the familiar question, Anyone got a comb? can be heard all over the halls. Then into the bio lab she goes, where she is greeted by, What did you do this weekend ? Oh nothing much, just . . and Bets goes on to tell us about a wonderful Saturday evening spent with a member of the sports car set. Fall, winter or spring Betsy can be found on the varsities to which she has been loyal since Class IV. She has also been either captain or co-captain of the class Reds for several years. On Friday as varsity practice ends Betsy can be seen racing toward her cubby where she tries to arrange her many books, lost and found lunch boxes, lab coat, gym suits, blue parka, hockey stick, etc. - thus loaded down she runs, trench coat flying behind her, to catch the 5:59 back to Groton.

me-Q LiI:beth come back again. Libbeth was quite precocious when she first arrived at C.A. in 1954. She alarmed everyone with her ability to consume books at an extraordinary rate and won the reading prize at the end of the year. In addition, she found time to write a book - weekly installments were read to an avid class - and also established herself as an authority on Shakespeare, her childhood idol until Johnny Cash and Hank Snow came along. Young Libbeth also played bruising football in the baggage car, much to the consternation of the B 8: M, but her promising career was brought to an abrupt halt when service between Belmont and Concord was terminated. Libbeth's Hair for vigorous athletics has since diminished, but academically she has maintained herself handsomely - math sends her into a tizzy CBJ - and she has worked ably for the Clmmelemz since Class VI. You might not think of Libbeth, with her mezzo-soprano-alto voice, as much of a chanteuse, but wow can she sing Prince Edward Island is Heaven to Me ! This has been her No. 1 song every year, and with good reason, since her first summer on P.E.I., she has been Canadian-minded in every respect. Probably Libbeth will disappear over the border shortly after graduation, diploma still in hand. ffizagafg go 'zcfon Alcanna 35 Clover Street Belmont 78, Mass O lost, and by the wind grieved, ghost - Thomas Wal e
