The class of 1956 was especially privileged to have as one ot' its members, a girl who excelled not only in her studies but in everything she attempted. She did all things well may truly be said of Phil , For all her years with us, she delved into each task she attempted with all the enthusiasm and powers she possessed. She put her whole self into each new undertaking, and always made it a success. But besides that serious, studious and efficient young lady, we came to know another Phil . At all our social functions, her wit was brilliant. Proms were her delight. Punning was Phil's specialty. The unusual situations she would pick to spring a pun often startled usg but they always added a little more joy to our happy days. The time for work and the time for play were never confused in her mind. She entered whole-heartedly into both, but at the proper time. Many admired this trait in her character, who could not imitate it perfectly. As O. L. E. sends the class of 1936 out into the world ro win success, she can depend always upon this daughter to obtain it in helds of labor of which she can always be proud. XY'e wish you suicess, Phil , but above success we wish you happinessg the happiness you brought ro our ran s.

Wlhen we saw her smile. we grew interestedg but when we heard her speak, we knew she belonged to the Class of 1956. From the start. we called her Betty , and soon discovered that she was both brilliant and witty. We admired her courage when she told us that she would take both Spanish and Frenchg now we congratulate her for the wonderful record she has made in both subjects. Her scholastic rank is among the highest. To add to our admiration, in no time at all, we found that she had many other interests besides studies. If there's one thing a basketball team needs as much as players. it's supporters. We found an ardent one in Bettyg for we had but to mention a basketball game. and Betty was in the front row of spectators cheering our team to victoryl Wfhen it was a question of the Glee Club, Betty was always there with her strong alto voice. In addition to this. she was one of the leading members of our much praised Double Quartette. Whether an active participant or merely a spectator, she loyally supports all the activities of the college. In short. we can say she is an all-round good scout. We will miss you. Betty. more than we realizeg but the years to come will be brighter because of the memory of your curly head. and brilliant smile as you uttered one of your witticisms or perhaps recited one of your famous nursery-rhymes. If the world knows you as we have known you. it will love you. Success always and our love!

LM ATA55 GX, CN' MADELINE ELIZABETH GARVEY 22 COCHRAN ST., CHICOPEE FALLS, MASS. Grace God marked ber mul, And left it fu!! of fendernefs divine. Wlien the Divine Sculptor took up the human clay that was destined to be our Madeline, He must have had a whimsical, tender smile on His lips. For as life was infused into her soul, He breathed with it all the qualities which He embodies in Christian , Charity-she is the very essence of it. It is doubtful if she has evei been heard to speak harshly of anyone. Certainly we have never heard anyone speak harshly of her. The warm red blood of love for her fellow beings mingles each moment in her being with the milk of human kindness, which is hers in super- abundant quantities. Her expressive eyes twinkle a gracious greeting to allg the lips laugh with youfnever at you. Altogether too many know her as the quiet, serious rather shy girl of the cap and gown. To them her classmates could present another Madeline-that delightfully enter- taining, gay comrade of ours, with an almost unique ability of making dry stories amusing, and funny ones side-splitting. Her loyalty to her school and to her class has been an inspiration to all who have been fortunate enough to know her. May the Hand of Him who carved her give her as lovely a future, as He did a character.
