She oves it, and her versatil- ity in the fine arts of dancing and sing- ing are proved by her membership in the Shaw House, which performs annually at Jordan Hall. She has also demonstrated her dramatic ability in the G.H.S. follies and Junior and Senior Parties. She likes dancing, singing, dancing, dramatics, dan- cing, and having fun.

MARGARET SMITH ll Spring Garden Street lt's Margie, ice cream, and cake that form a well known trio, because as the young lady says, that's her hobby. How- ever, even Margie admits that she can't spend the rest of her life following that delightful occupation, so she's going tc prepare herself to answer the challengc of the business world next year. The clicking of typewriters will be caused by her busy fingers, and the scribbled short- hand notebook will probably have Mar- gie's name in the corner, for Margie lists being a secretary as her ambition. Mar- gie visits local dance floors, and rinks, and finally wears out her loafers walking. ACTIVITIES: Alumnae Association l'llYl,l,lS SPATARO IIO Paris Street, Boston Petite little Phyl, with av voice made for singing the latest songs!

F0llies that year, then in the Junior Party, and once more in our Follies of '48, Added to that she's displayed her talents on the air with her sisters in Carl Moore's Beontown Variety. Phyl's voice isn't her only asset, however, for she is fun to know, fun to be with. She reads, accompanies herself on the piano, then adds a few sports: swimming, bike-riding. and playing baseball. The settlement house has received the benefits of PhyI's work, and a Summer Playschool for chil- dren used Phyl's abilities as an assistant teacher. Phyl's future plans center on either social or office work, but Phyl. being the airl she is, will find her place in either field, and make a success of her chosen career.

Renee keeps the programs, and, as she puts it, other in- teresting things in her scrapbook, for pleasant memories of pleasant evenings Mass. College of Pharmacy will find Renee learning to mix the contents of various test tubes, as she learns to fill out our prescriptions and fulfill her other pharmacetical duties.

She has already taken her lessons in getting used to the ups and downs of life by working as an elevator operator during her Sophomore year. That twinkle in her eyes betrays her ambition to be in the air. After an enioyable day at school, Syksie likes to go bowling, or ice skating, or even horse- back riding.

MARIE TECCE 25 Sheafe Street, Boston Next year will find Lau thumbing through the alphabetical index of a filing system, answering the insistent ring of a telephone, hitting the keyboard of a type- writer, and taking dictation on a short- hand pad. Lou's fairly quiet and unas- suming, a pleasant addition to a group. She watches the problems of life as they evolve before her on the screen, or even in the novels, for Lou is a bookworm, too, She takes time out to follow the tempo of a dance orchestra, comprising the last of her three favorite diversions. May Lou find her hopes realized, We wish her luck in her future life. ELENA TESTA 37l Hanover Street, Boston Good things come in small packages, and we offer Tessie, quiet, good manners personified, as proof. She used up the energy that she never seems to be with- out in weaving needle and thread in and out, putting the light over her left shou der to read, listening carefully to the radio, gaining the couples on the dance floor, and baking mouth-watering choco- late cakes, Tes likes languages, and wants to be an interpreter of Italian. She's studied the language, and the na- tives of that sunny land have nothing on her--she speaks so fluently it makes your head spin! Tessie's characteristic shy smile has been ever-present here, and she'Il keep it with her. Tessie deserves the realization of her ambitions, and our fervent best wishes go with the girl whose pleasant manner will always be remem- bered by us. DUROTIIY TOLSON l5 Chamber Street, City Dody is the gal with personality plus! She's a regular gal, and everyone has liked her during her stay at G.H.S. She is in the commercial course and wants to further her education by going on to a business school. Our Dody is really sharp. Being a neat dresser and a good looker isn't all-she makes friends with everyone, everywhere, at any time. She'd like to be a career woman, and we know that she'Il succeed. She goes to dances and skating rinks quite often. You can always tell when she's Corning by the sound of a girl's voice humming a very latest tune. That's Dody -she knows all the songs, and all the latest chatter We're going to miss her swell personality and sweet smile. rv 'UN 1? l l l J: f J f l .u 1 Page Sixtv Seven
