leaving one page eighteen by the way, To the memory of Marie Baker, we dedicate this page. Marie, a senior, died on November 23, following an automo- bile accident. Better known as Peggy, she had been outstanding in her class for her fine character, charm, and ability. Marie was truly a typical American, one with courage. determination, and an unselfishness that expressed itself in helpfulness to those about her. In the course of her journey through life, she met many people: some be- came her staunch friends, and they will remember her long for the fine, sweet girl she was.
