Eifiilflb A f3 6 1954 5 MARY FRANCES CLANCY SPRINGFIELD, Mass. I-'ur zrfwie it any .mllmr in Ike world Tazrlnfs iurlv Iitklllfl' in tl 1l'0IIltlI1'I eye! Cathedral sent us Mary . . . a true Irish maid if ever there was one. She it is who always looks on the bright side, refusing to recognize the word failure Her smile and good humor are infectious. XX hen Mary laughs the rest of the class laughs with her. Making every second count, rushing hither and yon, and dashing in at the very last minute . . . that's Mary The four years we have known her have been far too short, for with every year we discover some new quality. Husky voice, blue eyes, brown hair and a generous disposition.. . . put them all together and you have Mary. Wlttrt good times we had dancing with her in the Gym ' How we enjoyed those free periods when we could snatch a hasty lunch and dash back just in time for class! Wliere would we be in basektball if it weren't for Mary? She it is who turns out in full force and helps to make our games a success. Then, too, there's debating-no subject is too ditlicult for her, She prepares her speeches and delivers them in a manner worthy of praise. In fact, she lends her cooperation to all school activities, and enters them with character istic vim and vigor. If personality begets success, and we are certain that it does, it won't be long before Marv attains the heights. Heres to you, Mary, The best of luck and the most sincere of good wishes.

. ,,,f, Y. MARGARET ELIZABETH BERGER WEBSTER, Mass. f - .war-A ,iw W'f9e11 rl frielld clJ'f.l', Ibwt ii 110 In-mrnmzf Presenting our Queen of the Ivories! One minute before the bell-Margaret enters. flushed, jaws expanded with cafeteria goods, music bag in one hand, if it is music dayg a handful of letters completes the balance-if the Seniors have any mail. Kindness, talent, ability -a true Berger recipe. If you ever need a helping hand, send for Maiaret. She possesses loyalty and ability par excellence. O'Leary Hall fairly radiates with her good turns and her music. Radio has no place when Margaret rolls out Leibestraum, or The Hallelujah Chorus, or anything with which the Goddess of Music may inspire her. Always ready to please-with a play, Margaret? , she smilingly starts for the keys. Only the fact that she has a letter to write will keep her from complying. Margaret has been pianist for our Musical Clubs since their introduction. Her executive ability, coupled with her genuine talent, won for her the Glee Club presidency. Besides being our outstanding musician, Margaret is a clever forward on the basketball team. Philosophy class is hardly complete without some logic it la Berger, and such fun! Seniors are ,ro logical! We know, though, that all the syllogisms in the world will never keep her from enjoy- ing life, and we certainly hope her cup will always be filled to overflowing.

r -' ' . GRACE MARIE COLLINS SPRINGFIELD, Mass. A bein! lu zerolre, 41 beta! lu runlrire, rind .1 laimd lu e.wr11lt. From the moment Grace first walked into our midst, we knew her to be just what she was-and is, and will be-a jolly person, and one whom we all wanted for a friend. To tell the truth, we liked her so well that we made het Class President during Sophomore and junior years, which fact speaks for itself. Her election as Chief Ranger of a court of Foresters, while she was still in her college teens, is another indication of Grace's ability. Not only in othciating at extra-curricular activities has her ability shown itself, but also in the classroom. To pick one subject in which she is proficient, would be to neglect another. In all of her studies, Grace has shown the same care and thought that has so characterized her busy career. Although at hrst appearance she seems to be a very serious-minded young lady, we her class- mates, have learned to identify her by that infectious giggle of hers. Tall and dignified she is, but not too tall or too dignihed to enter into the spirit of fun which surrounds Grace and her associates, especially Hannie. Tall and dignified as she is, she can get down to the intricacies of philosophys deepest offerings and chat about Austatle with a smile. We all sincerely hope that her future path-ways may be as successful as her happy college days.
