BERTIL F. FRIDLIND The coast it clear. Conservation Club 2, 33 Motor Safety Club 4g Audio-Visual Club 23 Auto- mobile Club 55 Hobby Club 2. Bert certainly had the advantage over most of us at football and baseball games because he did not have to stand on the bench to see what was going on. Keenly interested in automobiles, his heart swelled with joy when he re- ceived his first car. When you set up your own print shop in Unionville, the class of '56 will give you all their business. JOHN PAUL GLANOVSKY H e pursue: the even tenor of his way. - Conservation Club 2, 5, 4g Automobile Club 3, Motor Safety Club 4. John has an affable disposition which is always in evidence. We found him most cooperative. His greatest pleasure seemed to come from his courses in Industrial Arts and in tinkering with automobiles. Maybe you will be chief automobile mechanic for the class of 1956, john. ALBERT JOHN GREGERICK The bert healers if good cheer. Audio-Visual Club 2g Conservation Club 3, 4g Motor Safety Club 45 Auto- mobile Club 33 Football 2, 3. It always seemed that just as classes were to begin, Albert had to run an errand for someone. Perhaps such as occasion gave him an opportunity to see Betty on the way. He was a familiar sight working in a grocery store after school. We hope that you do not discard your ambition of becoming a book- keeper, Al, once you finish your service in the Navy. V CAROL ANN GRESH A cheek ever ready with 4 hlurhf' Minstrel 5, 4g Class Plays 5, 4, Conservation Club 2, 3, 4, French Club 4g Art Editor for the Farmington Student , Winter Carnival Attendant 2, 5, Queen 4. A very noticeable blush constrasting beautifully with blond hair and a very quiet manner characterize Carol. Though petite in size she was a worthy opponent on the badminton court. As queen of the Carnival Dance she made a very lovely and gracious appearance. Your industry will be rewarded by suc- cess in the field of nursing, Carol. Take pity on the internes. 'I5

We hope that you will like your position of secretary, Chris. sh- Ui I Conservation Club 3, 4g Outing Club 2, 35 Minstrel 3g Hilltop Club 2. Mary did not confide many of her secrets to us, but preferred to share them with Mimi Scanning our class records, we find that Mary's marks were always good.

Hilltop Club 2, Conservation Club 2, 3, 4, Outing Club 3, 4. Sandra never rid herself of her carefree attitude whether she was attend- ing class, performing acrobatic stunts in the gymnasium, or watching as bas- ketball game. Of course, a green Pontiac may have had much to do with her happy nature. What will happen to the gum when you start taking dictation, sandy ? MARY ELIZABETH FLYNN A quiet and rtudiour girl.

It seemed that no activity sponsored by the class of 1956 was ever com- plete without Sharon. He foremost activity was cheerleading, where her pleas- ing personality was always in evidence. Dancing in the minstrel show, typing for the class book, serving on committees, and reporting for the Parade of Youth consumed much of her time. We believe employment will be yours for the asking, Sharon. 0 x
