We must study hard to achieve our goal in order that our Mount Reverest may be conquered. 12 k (GIRLS) Name Audrey Siddall Judy Malcolm Daisy Cook Carol Lawler Linda Bruner Linda Shepley Naomi Colenutt Barbara Buhler Diane Pettypiece Lorna Pierce Margaret Van Belle Judy Morrison Shirley Hicks Kathy Wassenaar Lorraine Hartley Betty Parke Sylvia MacRae Past Time Nickname Working at a meat Beefy market in Leaming¬ ton.
