Like a yearbook, a school is made up of many parts-the classes, the activities and social organizations, sports associations, clubs, etc. Each girl finds her place in one or more of these groups-yet, each individual is essential to the success of every group. All of these separate groups are necessary to make the whole Laurel. This unity is sug- gested by the cord which runs through- out the entire book binding together the varied parts of hfe at Laurel W, 1. 49 'Q I N Q 1 X Q ' mb Q -.... .gk NX-x 22 Greetmgs To The Class f 1959 The class of 1959 will always be especially dear to me, because, in this brief year, I have learned to know you rather better than I yet know the other classes of the school. My idea of a Laurel girl is, therefore, a kind of composite image of all sixty of you. My hopes for the women you will become are largely based upon the best that I have seen in each one of you at times - loyalty, gaiety, love for the truth, a sense of service to others, intellectual curi- osity and the will to use it to good ends. If your school has called forth these qualities and helped to foster them, it has served you and the future. The rest is now up to you. I do not say to you now, Remember that you are Laurel School girls, make us proud of you. Instead, I bid you remember that your teachers and your families have invested heavi- ly in you with full confidence that your dividends will be paid in zestful, creative usefulness, satisfying to you. And we shall be proud. IS - lx - A i 5 4- Elk .. 1. ., I E A ul F' vw X, vi v In v 'v Aw 'X :' A , 1' wx f f 'L V!

Immediately, she sets to work achieving good grades, simultaneously managing to write daily letters to the owner of the aforesaid ring. Many dormites wonder when they walk into her room, how Judy ever finishes her school work and is able to find all the tax stamps she's forever collecting from the members of our class. Her extraordinary room seems to contain everything she could possibly need during the school year but never in its proper place. Yet she finds what she desires and is always willing to lend almost anything. Her FRUIT-OF-THE MONTH club package is invariably emptied one hour after its arrival. Judy's quiet, unassuming man- ner wins her many friends, for she's quick to praise but slow to rebuke. In school life, she's chairman of the Library Committee and takes a real interest in many student activities. Often she can be seen with either a male or female partner, batting tennis balls firmly and skillfully across Laurel courts. Judy will probably be most remembered for her frequent blushes. But her accomplishments have been a great asset to Laurel and will certainly gain success for Judy in college. Actually, I hate stuffed animals. P Q .L- 'X Susan Alexander Sue 1955 In some ways Sue belongs to the temperamental artist group. She has an ability in, and a feeling for the visual arts -- which may be something new to a few who don't know her well. She attacks her aesthetic endeavors with careless ease, but always manages to produce something with an air of pre- cision about it. Aside from this talent, Sue doesn't fit neatly in- to any labeled cubbyhole. Her opinions are her own and she would defend them to the death. She is fond of argumentation - as a way to record these opinions - and she's never been known to submit to onerous necessity without a well-chosen growl. For instance, Why do seniors have to take basket- ball? Why won't dancing do just as well? 0r better? I just don't see . . . Quite right, Sue. The world needs to be told. Beauty and the beast. A Gail Elizabeth Bender 1955 Gail will be remembered at Laurel for many things. In the dorm, girls will remember sitting in her room eating delicious brownies, baked in the Bender kitchen by their maid Laura, while watching slim Gail try on her beautiful new clothes. She is almost always with her other half, Barbie Phillips. Every spring vacation, for example, these two bask in the Florida sun and water-ski on the ocean. Gail is definitely the outdoor type, for she comes from a baseball loving family. Her twenty-two year old brother Bob plays for a Pittsburgh Pirates' farm team. But she has many indoor interests also. Danc- ing-from modern as a dance club member to jitterbugging-appeals to her. Gail likes all kinds of music and has been taking piano lessons for ten years. While at home in Peninsula, Ohio, she adds to her foreign' doll collection and during summers she takes part in the Peninsula Players' productions. The Benders spend part of each summer on their Lake Erie island, where it has been rumored that Gail shoots snakes for a pastime. Gail is thinking seriously about going into ele- mentary education, for she has an affectionate inter- est in children. Nevertheless, she certainly has the normal Laurel interest in males and is planning to settle down with her right one before she's thirty, at least. That colchicine really did the trick. Donna Rae Berkman Berkie, Berk 1954 Donna is remembered in the dorm as one who works by night. In her role as dorm president, she consoles her friends, usually at midnight, sometimes to the dismay of her elders. But not all her late- night hours are spent in seriousness. She can usually be found on week-end nights among a group of girls engrossed in a hearty game of bridge on the floor of her closet. But this generally ends in bursts of laughter, followed by Quiet, or we'll be caught. This good-natured, friendly girl is a Steuben- villeite, but, due to various reasons, would rather claim any other city in the U. S. A. as her home town. Arriving at Laurel at the tender age of thir- teen, Berkie quickly made friends which have stayed with her. Donna is also a fine hunting dog in the art of tracking down food. This food stays her appetite much the same way that her fan mail stays her yearning. This mail arrives in bushels from the famed colleges of Columbia, Michigan University, and Harvard. Berkie's room is frequently referred to as Grand Central Station because people are con- stantly invading her privacy to take advantage of her private facilities. I guess some people have all the luck! Oh you wouldn't. Gail Eugenia Billings Gaily 1952 Gail is the owner and operator of the large blue station wagon known as the Billings Bus, which is always filled to capacity. She's ever so sleepy in the morning and manages to follow the route to school only by force of habit. When Mrs. McCollom was fascinated with Gail's imitation of waking up during a dance, she didn't know how real it was. Gail has always busied herself with dancing of some sort. First it was ballet, then toe, and then tap dancing. She more or less worked her way up to modern dance and her executive position as president of Dance Club. When not running blithely about in a leotard, Gail is most often seen behind her camera. As Photographic Editor of Laurel Leaves she has work- ed hard and thoroughly, as she will at any job. Gail can be silly and frivolous at times to the frustration of those around her, but this is only a reaction to the time, effort, and care she puts into her school work and activities. So you think you're queen of the gods? Charlotte Bohannon Char 1953 Charlotte can be seen in the halls holding vio- lent conversation with Nan, she can be seen on the archery range, rocking back and forth on the ground whistling Purcell, Vivaldi, or Mozart, she can be seen in Study Hall contentedly reading james, Proust, Sartre, Beckett, Kerouac, or Theodore Sturgeon. In fact, if you don't see her in one of these places, you aren't likely to see her at all. Once out of the build- ing she disappears completely from view. If Charlotte were a little noiser, she might be something of a thorn in the side of the school, but as it is she very quietly thinks her own thoughts and lets Laurel life move around, over, and past her, pro- viding it doesn't interfere with what's she's doing. A thorough if unpretentious individualist, she silently shall pass from among us, until she is sud- denly made famous for notoriousb by some startling work of literature a' la mode Joyce, but newer. Nothing like these History tests. . . Barbara King Bole Barbie 1955 Barbie is almost invariably calm and unflutter- ed. Forgotten homework, monstrous tests never panic her. If an English paper is not quite as long as was specified - Well, it will do nicely all the same. Although she is quite sociable with everyone, she belongs essentially to the party set. She gets around with the best of them and no social function is complete without her. Barbara is a devotee of large, bulky sweaters and ribbons-in-the-hair. Her favoriate spot in the Whole school is Senior Room and she heads a com- mittee of one to Get A Radio for it. An arduous task, this, but if she perseveres she may effect a change. Did you say my stomach was growing? Mary Josephine Boyd Jody 1957 Long, tall Jody, a southern dormite from Portsmouth, on the Ohio River, seems to be the girl the dress designers had in mind when they re-intro- duced the chemise to the American public. Futher- more, her willowy frame adds much to her own parti- cular style of dancing - a smooth, rhythmic style that no one can imitate well. Although surrounded by boys in her family-a twenty-one year old broth- er Bill and seventeen year old Ted-Jody usually never tells anyone about the boys in her life. But after she's been home or stayed with her Vodrey relations in East Liverpool for a free week-end, fortunate dormites are able to glean information about the Jody-away-from-school. Her eyes sparkle as she tells of the parties she's been to and the danc- ing she's done - for Jody loves to dance. Never- theless, Jody doesn't spend all her spare time indoors, for she will put down her Steinbeck novel to join a friend for a swim or a drive in her car. Like most members of our sex, Jody wants to get married- but only after working and traveling for a few years. Pembroke and Sweetbriar Colleges appeal to her but no matter where she decides to go, Jody's ever pre- sent friendliness will make her welcome on any col- lege campus. Oh, good, they got married. Marion De Bose Breeze Breezie 1956 Marion walked into the biology lab and neatly placed her books and colored pencils on her desk. A sly smile came upon her face. Today was dissect- ing day. This interested Marion very much, and whatever interests her she works very hard at. May- be not everyone notices this, because she is rather quiet and quite unobtrusive. Marion only talks when she has something very definite and extremely pertinent to say. Marion talks most at lunch, since lunchtime seems an appropriate occasion for her to get into some fairly profound discussions. But be- fore and after lunch, except for a few occasions, Marion, to the gratitude of her classmates, thinks problems out rather than talks them our. To Marion silence is golden. It's breezy up here. Roberta Bruce Bobbie 1955 Bobbie, loaded with books, pencils, and her famed lists, turned the corner, muttering to herself. I wish I could go out for a walk, but there's senior play practice, and how will I ever get my homework finished? I mustn't forget to call Mom tonight . . . but why can't she call me? Hey, has anyone seen my glasses? Oh heavens, two minutes till .... Tell Mrs. B I'm too busy to see her. Now where's my 'hairy' playbook? This was just a typical after- noon in the life of Mt. Gi1ead's own Roberta Bruce. Although busy with school and personal activities, she always has a free moment for talking with others or forming a scheme. Bobbie is a steady worker in both school and outside activities. She is famous for her second soprano voice, which is a credit to choral period. Her ambition is the stage. Bobbie is well-qualified for this profession because of her ex- perience in summer stock and her job as stage man- ager for Ar You Like It. After rescuing her some- what squashed playbook from under a group of girls, she calmly turned to her audience, said a grim I'm not mad! and stormed out of her room. B.B. II. -J Mary Elizabeth Burge Maryburge 1956 Maryburge, pronounced as one word, nonchal- antly ambles down the hall in her woolly crew-neck sweater. She's positive she'll never get into college and has never yet taken a test that wasn't just im- possible. She doesn't enjoy getting good grades unless all her friends do too. When not occupied with singing in choir, teaching Sunday School, or writing letters, she helps Marty think up mad schemes. She's a very modest girl with no affecta- tions and never an unkind word about anyone. She like to be independent ancl hence enjoyed her sum- mer job as a waitress at Squirrel Island. She hates to be told what to do and couldn't possibly take neat notes. She complains of her lack of organization and efficiency, but she can always come up with the correct answer or pull out just what she's looking for from a huge collection of wrinkled papers. They weren't apricots? Lynne Dawson Carter Lynnie 1947 Lynne seems to be unbreakable - yet she gives the impression of minute, fragile delicacy. Lynne is a very pretty girl. It is a somewhat dull virtue to be neat, but Lynne's grooming transcends mere neat- ness and becomes a marvel of small bits creating a perfect whole. Her lipstick alway: matches, is never slapped on. Her clothes are right for her, not neces- sarily for a hundred milion other, less sophisticated girls. One might think that Lynne spends all her time nail-polishing and color-co-ordinatirig, but this would be far from true, and quite unfair. For Lynne seems to come naturally by her chic, and spends more time than most studying. Her intellectual wanderings are even eclectic enough to include an off-hours interest in the French existentialists. Now we have given you the picture of a well- dressed scholar. We mustn't let Lynne's image re- main this way, for these things are true, but not the whole truth. Remember the courtesy, the winning smile, the sense of gaiety she seems to impart. Re- member these, and you remember the essential things about Lynne. Better use two hands to lift that. A? Susan Deasy Dear, Sue 1955 Sports at Laurel and Sue are synonymous! As president of our Athletic Association and vice-presi- dent last year, Deasy, as she is known to all, has in- stilled in many Laurelites a more lively interest in sports. Her vivacity appears not only on the play- ing fields and tennis courts but also in every phase of her life. Never is dormitory living dull if Sue is present at a gathering. Whenever a dormite is having homework, parent, boy, or housemother troubles, Deasy will come to cheer up the girl with her famous question: Did you know that Mickey Mouse's father is a dirty rat? This joke is so old and corny that even a girl in tears can't help laugh- ing when Deasy says it in her purposely comical way. If Laurel gave an award at Last Chapel for the most happy and gay girl, Miss Deasy would win it immed- iately. When she's not playing hockey, tennis, bas-- ketball, or baseball, Deasy loves to dance to her latest rock-'n-roll records. She's always Willing to teach anyone to jitterbug and her lessons have won for ma.ny a former pupil much acclaim in Ohio towns. Her interest in going into speech therapy clear- ly shows Deasy's fondness for children and for help- ing people as she did in volunteer work at Highland View Hospital last year. Deasy shall be greatly missed at Laurel but the adults, teen-agers, and chil- dren she meets in the future will be just as glad to know her as we have been. These books are a mere cover-up! Nancy Karen Dragin Nan 1952 Nan's exterior is intellectual, amusing and Coftenj shocking. She roars through school upsetting norms and outraging prudence. Nan is the cross borne by the gym department and the dress com- mittee Cshe eschews volleyball and shoe polish in that orderj. She is also an iconoclast and, with noise and spectacle, daily chastises the world. Any meat- ball who crosses swords with her runs the risk of instant destruction. Acting on the principle that a Laurel Girl's desk top betrays her inrnost character, we shall describe Nan's. Item: one book by Carl Soloman. Item: two Laurel Leaves writeups which she, as Lit. Ed., has rejected. Item: one blazer covered with dog hair. Has ever a more non-conformistic desk been found? Ah! but when the people's revolution comes . . . she will be made an example of. She will be exiled. This is an allegory - man's. Sarah Elizabeth Du Laurence Sarah 1953 Sasch has the quality of making everyone around her laugh and enjoy life with her. She is self-con- tent, not striving for things way beyond her reach, which does not mean she has no ambition. Sarah is 'rarely inactive, but when that quiet moment does occasionally arrive, it is only because she is resting up from a hockey game or tennis match, to attempt a snowy hill on skiis or to run to the refrigerator. Her enthusiasm leads her Green Team to fun and victory. Her spirit, which is quiet and a little shy before audiences, is spontaneous and bubbling in a group of friends. She has poise and dignity when she talks with adults and children alike. Because she is very modest, her friends might think of her more as an easy-going companion than a worker, actually she is both, being successful in the classroom and all her other activities, such as Senior Octet, of which she is a member. Sasch has a likeable indefinable charmg maybe it is that she is without malice. l,006 . . . 1,007 . . . 1,008 . . . Debrah Marie Elliott Debby, Deb: 1955 Debs is the girl who can always manage to keep uncontrollable things firmly in hand. She showed us these qualities as our class president junior year. She is usually found driving around John Carroll in her six or sitting cross-legged on the floor at a bridge party. She has the distinction of giving the loudest parties in her neighborhood with the best food anywhere. The thing that makes her happier than anything is not being referred to as Dan Elliotr's little sister, a distinction she received only this year. Debs is sensible and.outgoing, the possessor of a voice that can be heard above a crowd. She is a passionate friend of the downtrodden. She invari- ably takes the side of the maligned in Senior Room discussions A girl of sundry talents, this Elliott, she can't help succeeding. Again? Anne Buffington F ager Buff, Buffy 195 5 Buffy seems to go through a day in a series of swift, staccato movements. She's an extremely ener- getic girl, quick to anger but quick to praise. Come on, you Whites, let's win! As captain of the White team she passes on her energy and enthusiasm to the rest of the team. Buffy is out-going in a serious man- ner. She is capable of talking earnestly and persuas- ively to anybody. She has a feeling for sensitive people and will quickly go to their aid, ready to say something soothing or criticize constructively. For all her boundless energy which she can shift from one action to another, she never shifts from her friends. Het quick smile and gay hello, though, are generally meant for everyone, and having given those, she'll disappear down the hall to speak to someone else and once again vanish, only to reappear briskly, looking for something that needs doing. . .and for Charlie. Susan Fisher Fisb, Sue 1949 This girl has never spent an unhappy day in her life. She is without a doubt the most cheerful girl in our class. For example, she spends a lot of time in Senior Room modeling her famous Mau Mau, and while she's there, the whole third floor laughs, just listening to Susan having a good time. Fish is one of the Community Drive group who gather at the Hangar for one of her brief tennis games. Wherever there is a party you're sure to find Sue, with her red hair hanging in her eyes, getting ready to laugh any minute. Fish has many, many friends, and if you should chance by her house, you'd probably find them all there. If this constant hospitality ever galls a bit, you'd never guess it, for Sue is rarely seen without a smile on her face. Sue is the best cheering-up committee our class ever had. And did I ever tell you about Canada? Carolyn Rae Fleig Fleiger 1 947 Fleig is one of the original members of our class. She's had a variety of parts in the great hits that our class has produced. In a fourth-grade pre- sentation she played the part of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow and in seventh grade she played a rather ancient grandmother, but her greatest characteriza- tion was that of the stupid and somewhat disheveled Audrey in AJ You Like It. She lives in the best lo- cation in the nation, across from University School, and is often seen walking her Kerry-Blue terrier in that vicinity. Her outstanding feature is her little pug nose, which she always keeps to the grindstone. Her tastes are of Olde English flavour, especially at tea time. Her quaint expressions such asubaked goods and five and dime seem to follow these tastes. She is often seen at the Playhouse, the Heights Art Theatre, the Art Museum, and other cultural centers of Cleveland. I bet you thought they'd be cigarettes. Eugenia Lee Frissc jenny, Frirr 1955 jenny is an artist and a scholar. As head of the poster committee, much of her time is spent in the art room, planning and executing posters for all school occasions. With the members of her com- mittee, she produces some extraordinary and amusing posters. When a performance is being given in the chapel, jenny with her assistants, takes care of stage lighting. The job is as necessary for a good present- ation as a star actor's, but not half as publicly reward- ed. Jenny tells of experiences and fun she had this summer while helping to take care of children in a family with which she traveled. She would not have had this job if she were not completely responsible, which says something about her character. Her class work, remarkably, does not suffer as a result of these activities. As a matter of fact, jenny stands very high scholastically. Her teachers and classmates have respect for this quiet good natured girl. Oh, man, we're gonna blast right up to that moon and name Laurel...l0...9...8...7...6,,, Nw-wud' Pauline Ruth Glennan Polly, Pol 1955 A finger in every pie, a voice in every chorus, and a leader in almost everything she does is Polly Glennan. Twice a soloist in the Carol Service, presi- dent of Junior Council on World Affairs and one of the guiding lights of junior Debate and Mugwumps, she still has managed to accumulate scholastic honors and enjoy life in the bargain. She can often be found engaged in such varied activities as rubbing lanolin into old bookbindings in the Case Library, dancing at a Harvard ball, and exploring sections of the White House generally not open to tourists, ever observant and ready to relate salient details to those at home. Some of her spare-time projects have been memorizing Sweet are the uses of adversity, danc- ing with daffodils, and writing for the Laurel Re- view. Polly's wanderlust has taken her around a good bit of the U.S.A. She hopes it will get her to France this summer. And - who knows - with ber con- nections, she just might be the first woman to reach the moon. MnO +2H SO +2NaCL-CL +MnSO +Na SO + 2 2 4 2 4 2 4 ZH O H-m-m-m, that was easy! Jane Penelope H arnilton Penny 1955 jane - or Penny, as she is generally known - is an earnest and conscientious scholar. She is vital- ly interested in all of her courses and does more ex- tracurricular research than anyone we know. She retains details well and therefore shines in class discussions. Penny has a passion for clarity and order ther notebook is a thing of wonclerb and, with an edge of panic in her voice, will say, Miss Florance, per- haps I'm confured, but . . . Penny is a member of the library committee and the junior Council on World Affairs. Thus, while she's not the stereotyped Organization Mem- ber, she still makes her presence felt in the class, Her contemplative intelligence and sensitivity to other people make Penny adaptable and likble. No senior speeches? Martha Louise Hanger Mattie, Marf 1946 Having become an expert on crime due to her source theme, Mattie as our class president is well qualified to keep us out of trouble. She is ever so tactful and able to get along with people both her own age and older. Her bridge parties and her amu- sing comments in class - Who was Shakespeare? - will be well remembered. Able to make the smallest incident seem the most hilarious, she is the champion storyteller. Her tales of adventures in Canada and Fort Lauderdale have been heard again and again. The most amazing thing is that they're funnier every time. She can also give all our spirits a lift by making a discouraging situation seem humorous. Mattie can be found among the unco- ordinated few on the mat committee during gym meets, looking all over for props for the Senior play Cthere was a considerable-dearth of furnishings in the Hanger household while the production was in progressj, or watching hydras under the microscope in the biology lab. Hey you guys, very funny! Now get out of here - I was - 5 Ellen Wickham Harding 1953 Ellen's talents are as diversified as her activities. She occupies her free time rehearsing for the sen- ior play, writing a paper to read at Mugwumps, prac- ticing for a choir solo or scheming to increase the prestige of the Assembly Committee. If you're looking for her, she may be found in the library, brushing up on the Middle Eastern situation for junior Councilg she may be in Senior Room collabor- ating on a class song, or just socalizing - that is, if she isn't in the biology lab dissecting a worm. What- ever she sets her mind to she enjoys doing as much as everyone else enjoys the results. And with char- acteristic perseverance she will undoubtedly conquer her dislike for the cold night air and realize her not- so-secret ambition of becoming a full-fledged forest- ranger. It lives under her choir bench. lbw Judith Annette Hodes Judi 1958 From the practice room the rippling notes of a Chopin Waltz flood the hall. Soon the music stops, the door swings open, and Judi glides down the hall. The most striking thing about her at first glance is her neat appearance - crisp white blouse, immacul- ate green skirt, polished saddle shoes, each strand of long blond hair in place, lipstick carefully blotted, and glasses in her pocket. Judi's appearance some- how suits her personality: sweet and charming. She is an easy person to be with, as she is understanding and quick to laugh at your subtle comments. Judi is innocent of a fault for which we women are notorious. She is not catty. Judi never says a nasty word about anyone, and always defends a per- son who is being criticized. In fact, Judi is the one who keeps the rest of us in line when discussions take a catty turn. This admirable trait, along with her friendliness, enables Judi to make and keep friends. Your future just passed! Ronna Hoffrichter Ronnie 1956 The petite dark-haired girl walks jauntily into her large double room in the dorm. Detecting that gleam in her eye, we know that she has not kept the Mugwump debate on a strictly business-like basis. But soon the gleam dies out as she settles down at her desk to finish her French before she turns out the light, gratefully watching us file out of her room after the bridge party which was held there. Ronnie is an individual of the first degree, which makes her a very interesting preson to have around. Without being an introvert, she minds her own business and likewise lets others mind theirs. She has often said, I don't care what people think of me. I just want those I like to like me. Being the non-conformist she is, she is happy if she has a small circle of close friends. Though many people may not know her well, she is certainly respected by everybody. I dreamt I was behind the screen in my . . . Nancy Olds Hough 1954 Nancy Hough is just about the most artistic girl in the class. She is, in fact, the art director of this yearbook. She's always either in the art studio draw- ing or at her desk covering everything in sight with the most talented pictures or cleaning something up. Outside of school Nan's usually seen in her white Volvo - somewhere out in the country. She is one of the nearest girls around and with a smile she is always ready to help anyone. She will be remember- ed for her decorations for our proms and for her class party last year with Mary Burge which offered shish-kabob as the main attraction. She shares Huntly's repertoire of party games and plays them all with a true sense of humor. She has a kitten which is her excuse for the one-in-a-million time her homework isn't done. Although Nancy is always happy, she is quietly so - one of the thinkers and observers. First I sketch it roughly before it's opened, then I open it and fill in the rest of the picture when it's empty. That way I achieve my cubic abstractions. Patricia Ann Hunt Pat, Parry, Hunzly 1953 Constantly about the halls of Laurel there is to be found a delightful, bubbling mixture of excit- ability, warm friendliness, naivete, and a dash of ser- iousness called Patsy. She is forever busy, forever talking, and forever concerned with defending the underdog. She leaps as ably as gracefully from one activity to another as she does when performing in Dance Club. Speaking of athletics -- she also tum- bles and performs gaily and giddily on the gym ap- paratus. Her enthusiasm and salesmanship enable her to sell you almost anything from the Charities Committee stockpile before you are aware of it. Great cheers greet her familiar statement that candy will be sold after lunch. Patsy also has an amusing tendency to mix her words around and was once heard to say, They're dissecting the john with pneu- monia! She has been endowed with a sense of humor and a gay, infectious laugh, but beneath all that fun we find a good organizer and leader and also an active participant. This girl has United Appeal. LVLHILIIZ1 LVLC DYIGC JCHKIDS Martie, Ienkr 1955 Martie, alias Jenks, is noted for her reverberat- ing giggle and foreign taste in men and food. Did you say you were from Afganistan? Her infectious humor never fails to cheer her classmates, in fact, she is suspected of being the originator of the Fred- dy joke. It may be that she is the first Laurel girl to ever openly declare her hatred of bridge. As vice-president of the class, Martie has efficiently scheduled the senior desserts, but her classmates are somewhat relieved to find that April Fool's day falls on a Wednesday. Oh, did Mrs. Myers put gasoline on your crepes suzettes? Pity! Even Polonius would have a hard time deciding whether there is method in her madness or madness in her method, but she never fails to amaze faculty and students with her high scores on S.A.T. and I.Q. tests. Mattie is obviously headed for a combination of marriage and an intellectual career. She hopes to marry her childhood sweetheart, Alfred E. Neuman and become the first woman editor of Mud. Pihty. Susan Colegrovc Jones Sue 1958 Sue jones made a sudden appearance as a mem- of our class in the middle of Junior year. Coming from Wellesley, Massachusetts, she made an immedi- ate hit with her classmates. She lives in a small castle, which before the jonesses moved in was known for the parties given there. Sue has kept up the tradition. She's a very happy individual and looks it, too, with her blond hair and bright blue eyes. Without a doubt the most patient girl in our class, she has never been seen in a fit of anger. She is usually somewhere in the vicinity of john Carroll University and the Campus Drug Store, with Fisher, of course. She is one of the last few girls without a driver's license, her excuse being It's so different from Wellesley! Being thoughtful and helpful, Sue has made a lot of friends in the class in a very short period of time. Wellesley was never like this! E in W l A Suzanne Klempay Sue 1958 As the two-o'clock chimes strike downstairs, Sue and her room-mate are still sitting at their desks behind stacks of books and papers. In the stillness of night, you can hear a curious scratching noise. Finally, the room-mate springs from her desk and screams, Sue, will you stop scratching on that chalk! It drives me crazy! Sue glances up with a devilish glint in her eye and continues scratching the small piece of chalk. After the two-thirty chimes have rung, Sue presents her work of art - a perfect image of the housemother carved with a thumb-nail from a small piece of chalk. Sue is one of the rare people who are almost impossible to find fault with. She has a maximum of good qualities and a minimum of bad ones. One quality which is a marvel to us all is her calmness. She takes a trig test as if she were doing a night's homework assignment and gets ready for a big date as if she were getting ready for dinner in the dorm. She simply won't be ruffled or flusrered. But now the three o'clock chimes are striking, and she is still up, sitting on the edge of her bed calmly munching from a box of crackers and looking vacantly at her snoring room-mate. In spite of all this, Sue has managed to become a finalist for the National .Merit Scholarship. She is one who always comes out on top. Miss Moore taught me all l know. Adriana Petrionella Kolff Adrie 1956 Adrie has a rare quiet charm which attracts multitudes of people to her. She does not busy her- self trying to make an impression on those around her, but she always does make a favorable one. She is stimulated by intellectual conversation and asks thoughtful questions with a careful pronunciation which delights the ear. She speaks better English than anyone else in the class. She tells amusing stories about her life in Holland and her adjustment in America when her family came in 1949. She will long be remembered as a leaf, which is the original costume she wore to a Hallowe'en class party. It must have taken her an extremely long time to sew so many brightly colored fallen leaves on her clothes. It isn't necessary for her to be with friends every moment, for she is self-contained and can pro- vide herself with activities for a long time. The older she gets the more attractive she will become. Never mind. Gesell says feet always grow fast Katharine Caecelia Lee Kathy 195 3 Kathy is artistic, athletic, charming, and interest- ing. It seems incongruous, but the descriptions all fit one girl. Her artistic sense demands that eveyone's uniform be neat and true to regulation. On Thursday mornings she is heard to say, Will the Dress Committee please check the shoes. All those caught with dirty shoes will be placed in the tower for the rest of the term. Distinct authority lies behind her look of calm kindliness. To the staff of Laurel in Review she is known as Kathy Legree Lee. Despite her- name, she does know how to make people work for her willingly, as is proved by our new magazine. Aside from editing, she writes. Her very extensive background in art pro- duced a source theme enjoyed by the whole class. Editing, writing, and one more talent should be add- ed to the list-basketball playing. Kathy, it seems, can make a basket from almost anywhere on the court. Hockey is also within the diverse range of Kathy's activities. Should we put a dirty shoe list in Laurel in Review? Marjorie Ann Lewis Marge, Merge, Lou 1956 Marge Lewis, commonly known by her class- mates as energy plus or the girl with the mostestf' is vice-president of Student Council. She brightens everything she does with her smile and her energy. She has never been seen with a hair out of place - even when lounging around Lynne's pool in the summer. A most remarkable young lady! Her usual greeting is Hiya kids-whatya'doing? She is overflowing with spirit -- class, school, and all kinds. She is usually displaying this energy in a rousing cheer or in one of her graphic accounts of a U.S. football play. Marge has a habit of saying complimentary things about everybody even if they do sometimes comes out a little mangled, in the ex- citement of the moment. Hey, kecd, just take it easel. Linda Leypoldt 1954 Linda would be a good lawyer, for she is always ready to defend something in which she believes. This ability shows itself especially in history class, where, adding facts and challenging others' ideas, she stimulates the classroom. Without looking around, all study hall knows when they hear a bang that Linda has ever-so-cour- ageously killed another fly. There is usually a heap of dead insects around her desk. It's too had that Linda sits in the first row of chapel and choral, because if she were placed farther back, her voice would guide many frustrated singers to the correct notes. In A: You Like It, the Senior play, she was a forester, a singing role. She carried the other foresters with her strong soprano and en- couraged them to sing out. Linda pitches in to help on any project, without thought of whether she will receive credit or not. She is one of the much-needed supporters who take orders willingly and add enthusiasm to the cause. I didn't think I'd get caught. Pamela Mc Causland Lott Pam 1956 Pam is our redheaded dormite from Galion, Ohio, whose effervescent personality has won her many friends during her three year stay at Laurel. Her enthusiasm for doing well what she decides to attempt has crept into everything from school work to keeping up a large correspondence with females as Well as males. This industrious occupation seems to pay offg on weekends Pam is a very busy girl and even managed once to have two dates in one night. During the school week, Pam blends her voice with the Glee Club, warbling and takes an active interest in dramatics. Nightly, the dorm is turned into a dance studio where any girl may learn Pam's latest jitterbug steps and do her exercises to a Rock-'n-Roll beat. These activities must be an asset, as is demon- strated by Pam's tumbling team and basketball per- formances. In whatever field Pam chooses to make her career, whether social service work or marriage, she shall do it with determination as well as with a cheerful but realistic attitude. I'm waiting for Santa. - has-.gk Diane Elaine Lyons Di, Tiger 1953 For an accident-prone girl Diane is amazingly gay and cheerful. Whether at home, at school, or on the eastern seaboard, she is forever humming a Cole Porter tune under her breath. Di is an avid Boston-Nantucket fan. She managed to get her pic- ture in Spam Illurtmted last summer with a much talked-about jeep. Her face was obscured, but what other deeply tanned, tall blonde surrounded bymen would be in Nantucket? She loves to read and can often be seen behind Camus' latest work. All extra senior desserts are donated to Di to help supply her boundless energy. We've seen her eat two Submarine sandwiches and save one for after school. She plans to have Cughlj prune whip for her dessert since no one else will eat it. Our editor is very artistic and quite fashion-conscious. She claims that if she can't cook she can at least sew. She has traditionally done dance decorations-pink roses and fish are just some of her unusual ideas. Not only did she have a leading role in the Senior Play as Touchstone, but she did much of the work on the sets. Being an organizer, Di can also oversee other artists and put strings in their proper positions. Vive la difference. Mary Ellen Mc Donough Mare, McD. 1950 Mary is well known for being carefree and happy. She has a remarkable couldn't-care-less at- titude, which will probably give her a longer life than any other 59er. With her sense of fun, she always seems to be game for a party or a good time. She's famous for the fantastic letters she writes to her dog, Burpsie. She loves to argue and puts a lot of energy into the Senior Room discussion groups. There is never a dull moment when Mary is around, yelling incessantly at Debs. She can't understand why everyone congregates at her house on a Sunday after- noon. She's the only girl in the class who can boast that she had grey hair when she was in fourth grade. Mary is found wandering in the halls before lunch waiting for the bell to ring. She has a loud voice, a fantastic sense of humor and a lot of spirit. Her many good attributes will help her increase her, at present, very large group of friends, in the future. Let's all go to Sweden. Louise Mc lntire Lou 1955 Louise, the devil of the dorm, enters into most things with a somewhat mordant enthusiasm. This independent girl shows determination in all her ac- tivities. Her knowledge of math helps her in figuring bills and dues for her class, and perhaps a quiet shake- down on the side. Lou also adds a strong alto voice to Glee Club. Anytime you hear a laugh with a note of deviltry, you know that Lou is up to her old tricks, writing on the bulletin board, having a water fight, or planning some other form of entertainment. Because of this familiar laugh, she is usually blamed for things she doesn't do. Lou's subtle humor always lightens a group. One time, for instance, having nothing to do, she calmly stated, I think I'll wash my shoestringsf' Lou's room is the debate center of the dorm. Many things have been discussed and decided there. Frank advice, which is greatly appreciated, is al- ways given by this girl. Vivacious Lou is always ready for a good time, but when asked the hackneyed question Did you have fun?, she replies, Nope! Shes not coming is she? I've gotta do this quickly! Julia Fraser Mcloy Julie 1956 julia's talents are many and diverse. She can do anything from developing film in a dark room to baking a tasty pizza or from systematically think- ing out a chemistry equation to playing the piano with dexterity and feeling. Her musical talent has carried her far in Choir, Glee Club, and Octet, where her perfect pitch is much admired. When julia came to Laurel for her sophomore year it took awhile for the classmates to get to know her, for she is a quiet and restrained girl. Now, after three years, Julia's outstanding school work is respected and her fun-loving spirit is enjoyed by her classmates. Her spontaneous wit will always cheer a dejected soul. From her wide reading she can spice a conversation with literary allusions. Oh, you didn't have mono! Dorothy Ellen Minshall Debbie, Debt . 1953 Versatile and proficient in dancing, music, and painting, Debbie can be convincingly angelic in a choir robe, chanting Amen in true Gregorian style, or unmistakably of this world in a black sheath, belting out Saint Louis Woman. Her interests are diverse. Debbie is a sincerely devoted scientist, gig- gling fiendishly at her new-found power in the chemistry lab. An individualist with a passion for knowledge solely for its own sake, Debbie has a basic love of life- and people - especially men. Again her fiendish giggle appears as she admires the effectiveness of her latest scheme. Yet Debbie maintains an enviable, impenetrable composure. If disaster should strike, one could be sure to find Debbie seated at her piano singing Little Girl Blue, adroitly maintaining her equilibrium. Honestly, you guys, I'm not a flowertarianf' Suzanne Hope Neely Suer 1947 Sue is the kind of girl who worries because she isn't getting any work done, and then doesn't do it anyway. She spends most of her time on the tele- phone in Laurel Leaves Room or talking to MCD in Laurel Leaves Room or combing her hair in Laurel Leaves Room. She seems to have a lot of fun doing it, too. Matter of fact, Sue has fun doing almost any- thing. She's still talking about Montana two sum- mers ago. When not reminiscing, her mind is at work figuring out which animals her friends are most like-llamas, pigeons, skunks,-quite a group of friends, in fact. She touches everything she meets with charac- ttristic humor, a touch of the bizarre which comes from convoluting out of her strange word associa- tions to make people, dress descriptions, parties, cars, - anything - just a bit more fun. Andrew, come out of that bottle! Patricia Diana Parks Pat, Flitzy 1 95 5 An interesting girl, this: she is something of a two-sided character. On one hand she is an inimit- able party girl, knows all the right people, does all the right things. On the other hand - and you must look a little harder to find it - she has an un- expected erudition. An intellectual-God forbid- but she is fun to talk to. Pat is versatile and inventive Cknows the bert ways of disappearing from gymj. She has an out- standing sense of humor Cprobably developed in de- fense against her horde of brothersj. At this writ- ing, she has not summoned the initiative to apply for a driver's license. One notices almost above anything else Pat's expressive hands. They are long and thin, with dangerous fingernails. She does about half of her talking with them, and would probably be struck dumb if they were tied behind her back. And this would be a sad thing, for one would miss her non- chalant, sophisticated, Well, man, that's life in the big city. Hey, Sweets, I'd like to talk to you about . . Anne Mehling Partington Apee 1955 Apee is in constant motion and seems to run on an inexhaustible power supply. She rarely utters two consecutive sentences without using her hands as visual aids: for instance, Were you Cgeneral con- vulsion for emphasisb at the game last Saturday?? Oh, it was simply Carms raised in a kind of Gaulist VJ awful! ! And T. was there with S.! ! Can you imagineg of all people! ! CLeft hand extended, palm downj It is advisable to keep clear of moving parts when dynamo is in motion. Anne is addicted to violently green tights and jangly bracelets. These, of course, go well with her non-conservative personality and her uncompromis- ing standpoints on questions of the day CShould We Adopt Socialized Medicine . . . Ought Bird-dogging be Made a Capital Offense . . . What is Truth . . . D In fact, there's not an uncertainty to be found in Anne, and she treads a happier path than we foolish mortals. Oh, this one's a gasser! 'wr Barbara Phillips Barbie, Phil 1955 Barbara is one of the most precise, well-or- ganized people we know. She is always buttoned, dry cleaned and combed. She always knows assign- ments, is prepared for tests and has a things-to-do list for student council meetings. She is president of school government and, of course, is well-fitted for the job. Meetings run like clockwork and the things-to-do always get done. Barbie is good at recruiting people for com- mittees, hushing chapel line and study hall, and mak- ing speeches. Her disposition fone might guessj is what is usually described as sunny. Although her general outlook is positive and optimistic, she bubbles over only rarely. She carries nothing to excess and is a restful person to talk to. You mean there's a mle about this? Marianne Denise Relic Rel 1955 Who else in the world could have played the role of moronic William with such conviction, and still be so bright? Who else could weather the fur- ious attacks of White forward lines on her little citadel-the hockey goal-and come off the play- ing field, tired and kicked-at but still retaining het good spirits? Who else could calm the raving beast before chapel every morning, and still have time to assume the appropriate reverent attitude? We give you Marianne, who stands stalwart in the face of ordeals which would make gibbering idiots out of most of us. Of course, her life isn't all trial after trial. Order Committee in school, the never-missed Barons' games in town, the country- wide success of the Democratic Party - oh, lots of things occupy Rel's time. Rel always manages to keep top-side up - But l'm not confused! Should I be confused? This again, we say, is just about all the ordinary girl has time for. Rel doesn't stop here, though. She does more than just survive. She has vital, well-sub- stantiated opinions, scores of outside activities, an abiding interest in the ideas of her fellow-student. She is positive, but never blind to reality, sardonic, but never cruel, highly intelligent, but not too con- scious of her own worth. In short, we give you Marianne, a genuine, grade-A paragon. Oh! Isn't it the same as field hockey? Gay Reynolds Miss Gay 1953 Gay is always seen peeling around Cleveland in her wicked blue Ford even though her home is in Hudson. Conveniently, she lives right off the W.R.A. campus. Her house is usually like a girls' dormitory before a Reserve dance -for we all love her South- ern hospitality. Gay is often found with her hair hanging in her eyes solving some urgent problem. She was the first girl in the class to wear a blanket with a hole in the middle. She is a true non-con- formist, artist, and party girl. When Gay swings her hockey stick the ball always goes a country mile. She panics the gym department with her new and sensational feats on the rings. Gay is noted for her sense of humor, her one-note range, and her tremend- ous appetite. She is always fun to be around and there is never a dull moment when she s in your company. Missh Gay. Judith Jeanne Rich Judy 1958 Judy is a girl who is always surprising her friends. You think you've just figured her out when she tells you something about herself which seems entirely contrary to the Judy you have discovered. Perhaps when you're in her room in the dorm, you see a picture of her and a friend on a boat. You in- quire, Where were you going? She answers shyly, Oh, nowhere. just a little boat trip. Weeks later you learn that the picture on her dresser was taken when she was on her way from Australia to Tahiti and that she has visited almost every point on the globe. , Differing from the majority of people, Judy prefers listening to others talk to talking about her- self. She has a sincere interest in what her friends are doing and is very understanding and sympathetic. Coming to Laurel as a senior, Judy has adjusted remarkably well to dorm life as well as to the aca- demic work. She has won many friends by her mod- esty and sincerity. Have one - Dinner has been over for at least five minutes. xc Q. Anne Charnley Rielcy Annie, Rile 1956 If one hears a la sung at high C and sustained for five minutes, one knows Anne is in the vicinity. It might be that she's practicing for choir, but it's more likely that,she's in one of her perennially cheer- ful moods and just feels like singing. Rile is cheerful about everything-Monday morning classes, Friday proteinless lunches, and even attendance at gym. In fact, in the latter case, she manages in the winter to get to gym before the gym teachers. Possibly she does have a liking for winter athletics since basketball is the main attraction in these fine physical education courses. And it isn't par for the day when Rile doesn't act like a Bob Pettit II and make ten out of ten foul shots. With her basketball and other athletic prowess, she's been a great asset to the Green team. In fact, Anne's an asset to any team, athletic or not. Be prepared . . . Suzanne Louise Ruby Su 1956 Su has a lively sense of humor, loves to eat, and loves to make a pun on whatever you say to her. Su can give the distinct impression of being in an- other little world of her own while actually being very much aware of everything about her. She likes to read and has developed a large vocabulary. She draws upon this for her favorite bit of humor, the pun. She writes silly things and poetry. Art is Su's special interest although she claims to be sick of drawing little men with strings. Bright colors attract her, and she is always seen in a striped Italian T -shirt. Su makes fun of herself for what she considers a lack of athletic ability, but her abilities have been occasionally put to use by class hockey teams. Being a sympathetic soul, she takes great interest in other people's affairs of the heart. Her great secret is that she has never gotten her driver's license because she cannot pass the parking test! w Work ijacinates 3 Gretchen Ann Schoenfeld Gretcb 1945 She has handwriting and a car that fit her. Gretch has an extremely well developed sense of or- ganization and often tends to be overly neat. How- ever, her efficiency and neatness are put to their best use when she's engrossed in some great scientific discovery such as seeing what will happen to an ex- periment if one uses the wrong ingredients - dam, it didn't explode! Gretch is one of the more co- ordinated girl in our class -- a helpful member of the hockey team, an energetic performer of the tumb- ling team, and an accomplished gymnasr on the rings. Although sometimes found in a sad mood or worry- ing over something that will ruin her organization, she can open up beautifully and enjoy life to the fullest on occasions. She is a serious, hard worker, as her handling of the Charities Committee finances this year evidences. She developd a special attach- ment to the adding machine, which is great fun to operate and much more amusing than spending the summer erasing the marks in books to be sold by the Charities Committee. 1 may be little, but rm rough. Sarah Mead Siegenthalet siege, Sally 1957 Sally is Laurel's Mansfield, She can tell you anything you want to know about her home town - from the location of the football captain's house to where you can buy a fine pair of shoes CAt Siegen- thaler's Store, of coursej. Sally is among the select few whose mothers also went to Laurel. This senior can be recognized by her usual costume: brother Pete's shirt worn over bermudas and a large pizza in her hands. Sailing, tennis, and many other out- door sports appeal to Sally. But while indoors, she enjoys reading, especially novels, and listening to music. She wakes up to rock-'n-roll on her alarm- clock radio but buys mostly jazz albums for her re- cord collection. In a studious vein, she liked math well enough to tackle this subject four solid years, and would have no trouble while traveling in Mexi- co with her knowledge of Spanish. She will probably follow in her brother's foot- steps to William and Mary. Sally will brighten that or any other college with the friendliness she brought from Mansfield to Laurel. Vice versus Nature. Phyllis Ann Sogg Phyl 195 1 Phyllis is one of the seniors' claims to fame. She is especially adept at languages and the arts and is very outstanding musically. Not only is Phyl in choir and glee club, but she also sings with the Cleveland Orchestra Chorus, directed by Robert Shaw. She has become a perennial class-song writer. In dance, Phyl's great co-ordination has made her a member of Dance Club. In the theatre, she is strong both in technical, backstage know-how and in acting. She won the important part of Jacques in our senior play, A: You Like It. Phyllis is a strong, friendly conver- sationalist, able and willing to discuss just about any subject, and equally able to stand up for her ideas and put them over. In everything she does she strives for improvement and self-perfection. Pur- poseful and sure of herself, Phyllis uses her abilities to the fullest extent, and only lack of time prevents her from doing more. Her strength of mind and character will carry her far. But Phyllis, if you ever take it out . . . Sarah Agnes Trenkamp Sally, Sal 1952 Sally is an enthusiast. She can-and does fre- quently-wax effusive over English, class games, clothing, homework, metaphysics, Mugwumps and lunch. She organizes things well, is the sort of person who effectively heads vital organizations. And, in fact, she is connected with so many of these that she obviously hasn't time for them all, yet manages everything superbly. She enjoys doing things in these organizations-actually she enjoys practically everything. When talking to her, one finds this en- joyment quite contagious, as she transmits so well. Speaking generally one might say that Sally never admires, she eulogises, never smiles, but radi- ates, never walks, but hurls herself forward, thinking all the time O, I must hurry because what fun it will be when I get there! Now that we think of it, we might add that Sally is one of those unique persons whom no one dislikes. Remarkable. Don't you love Muzzy? Patricia Ann Tyler Pa: 1956 Pert, attractive Pat has changed considerably since she entered Laurel. Now she's one of the most spirited and talkative members of our class. But two years ago, when she came from Wooster to live in the dorm, she was shy. Pat's personality change must be credited to Pam Lott, her sophomore year roommate. Pam urged Pat to talk more, date more, and do more. Dormites soon learned that their silent friend had done more than they thought she had and would do more than they thought she would. Although she takes her schoolwork and school responsibilities seriously, Pat is mainly a fun-loving girl. While a dormite, she finds .enjoyment in eat- ing Cup to six meals a dayj, reading novels, listening to popular records and joining in bull sessions. Somehow she also is able to have time to use the telephone regularly, especially for long distance calls, and keep up a little correspondence. During sum- mers she likes to manage things - driving a car, sailing boats, and flying airplanes. The state of Maine holds many attractions for Pat from males to sailing at T Ledge Camp. After being a camper for numerous years, she hopes to become a counsellor at this camp next summer and possibly attend Maine's own Colby College in the fall. Pat's gay spirit will be remembered at Laurel but so will her pet question, How would you characterize that per- son? Maybe the mindsweeping profession will lure her, for she loves to find out what makes people tick? I sacrifice homework for sleep. Betty Lew Wightrn an Penny, Penoop 1945 The quiet, studious girl that you see in class with the memorized facts explodes into a laughing, fun loving girl the minute she feels that she can safe- ly leave her books behind. She has a remarkable ability for searching out gullible people, as she loves to make them believe the most incredible stories. Last I heard, her middle name was Sherman because it was her great-grandfather that had marched through Georgia. The next day she had a different, but still incongruous, middle name. She says, how- ever, that she thinks up her best stories after a meal which includes mashed potatoes and ice cream. Penny is a member of Dance Club and has often been seen dashing down the hall in a leotard trailing odd bits of chiffon. Modern dancing is not by any means her only talent, though. Recently, while at the Cape she picked up the art of knot-tying. If this doesn't seem to add up to a staggering number of diverse arts and interests, it's assured that she can show you how to dip candles the same way she learned to do it in the fourth grade. English can wait! Jennifer Joan Williams IJ., Jenny 1954 Tailored, blonde, competent Jenny, wearing a loose white coat and casually carrying an anaesthetiz- ed rat by the toe, would look just right paddling down the corridors of some big research laboratory. And a good thing, too, for the sciences seem to be her raison d'etre. Already, Jenny relates with great en- thusiasm her ripping open of cancerous rats, working with the famous doctors who.frequent the halls of Cleveland Clinic research, referred to reverently by their last names. Except for medicine, Jenny is a moderate. She is well-read, but makes no attempt at pseudo-intel- lectualism. She gets good marks, but rather more from innate intelligence than grubby time-consum- ing labor. It's our guess she's saving herself for medical school, and is meanwhile going through standard works on botany and inorganic chemistry with a slow methodical passion, a rat-cage gleaming in her imagination. My next dissection will be a senior Noel Williamson Pud 1956 Noel is always glad to drive anyone home in her chartreuse perforated-floored car. After Senior play practice no less than six girls would pile in, one on top of the other, to be let out at various places along her route home. Noel, always good natured, joined in with their singing, she herself being a member of Glee Club. She became entranced by the biology depart- ment's newest acquisition, a pedigreed African guinia pig. There is no question that it received adoring treatment when she took it home for the weekend. Pud, as she is affectionately called by her friends, has the calm reassurance, quick readiness, and whim- sical humor necessary to bridge awkward and tense moments both in and out of school. Because she is secretary of history class, she carries on in the absence of the teacher as best she can. It is obvious that she prepares het lesson well, but that is the kind of girl Noel is. Miss-deal? Are you serious? Ky Wilson Ky, Kyrie 1945 Ky is a quiet girl moving slowly down the hall with her ponytail following close behind. She is a mixture of shyness, happiness, and confusion. She holds the record for not being on time to class - the reason would seem to be she is found in study hall solving last minute crises after the bell has rung. When people think of Ky, they picture her on a horse galloping through the West. This could be true because she is one of the 59ers who spent a summer in Montana. Ky has been at Laurel longer than almost any other member of the class - in fact, since nursery school - one of the many Wilsons who have attended Laurel or are attending, and we've never heard a word of complaint from her. Ky is on almost any sort of activity having to do with art - yearbook, dance decorations, and poster commit- tee. She's a member of the Billings' school-car club but is also found occasionally on the Fairmount bus. Ky is not only an athlete, an artist, and a horseback rider but a girl who is fun to be with because she is original and unparalleled in her personality and sense of humor. He was tall, blond, and wore cowboy boots. 'i ...Sr Y A N K Sally Zubcr Sal, Zubie 1955 Sally is one of those people who seem to be everywhere and do everything all the time and love it. One of our commuters from Hudson, she shows a remarkable loyalty to W.R.A. and a while back was noted to be especially concerned about con- ditions at North Hall. An aid to Sally's commuting is her recently ac- quired Volkswagen, her pride and joy, which can be seen zipping around corners at all sorts of odd mo- ments. Along with driving, some of her other favorite sports are ice skating, tennis, baseball, basketball and Yale. Artistically inclined, she is also a member of choir, glee club, and the senior octet. Although she comes at the end of the alphabet, Zubie is surely up near the top of the list for friend- liness and personality.

Wm unior Class As Edward R. Murrow referred to the years between 1939 and 1945 as years of violence and achievement, so have the years 1955 through 1959 been ones of violence and achievement for that wild class of 1960, now highly inspired and enthusiastic juniors. This class has won more drives, written more skits, been bubbling over with more ideas, both logical and absurd, sung louder in the dining room, talked more in study hall, and been in Miss Florance's office more than any other class. It has brought in innovations such as private study hall for freshmen and the exclusion of freshmen from the Christmas Luncheon. Certainly, it is quite a class, whose motto has remained since that notorious junior Ac. year, Rules are made ,to be broken. Yes, years of violence and achievement, they have been. We've thought about reforming for the sake of the Order Committee, but it never seems to work. The Order Committee, nevertheless, has only one more year to endure, so for their sake and ours won't senior year please hurry up and come! 3 .3 ..

We speak English, nous par- lons francais et linquam latinam loquimur as a result of this year's work. We can tell you about japan in the Second World War, or we can, if you prefer, divide a circle into six equal parts. But harder to solve than any of our school problems was the question of who was to have the family motor vehicle. As many of us turned sixteen this year, we simply bad to have the car. Our parents kept insisting they needed it for such ridiculous pur- poses as getting to work or buying groceries. Though our families thought us nuisances, at least we were an indispensable part of the school. Besides separating the junior and Freshman classes we performed many other useful functions. We added our enthusiasm and vitality to many class activities. Some of us felt so socially well adjusted that we had to help others with their social problems. Thanks to the Blind Date Committee at least twelve couples were added to the Laurel Leaves Dance. We aided the cause of team sports also. During the late fall many of our classmates could be seen freezing on the sidelines of a hockey or soccer game, timing, scoring, and umpiring. During the winter we added our boisterous spirits to achieve the excitement of a basketball game. Our sparkling, gay exteriors which house our sometimes serious studious side have truly contributed to the success of Laurel '59. 92 Front Row: Weezie Pomeroy, Dare Rust, Susan Tippit, Ellyn Smolik, Nancy Vaughan, Ellyn Smolik, Frances Webb, Ann Parker, Sally Scribner, Barbara Pinkerton.

The teachers sigh, return to their work, and think the Freshmen. It is 8:30 and a Senior is carefully picking her way through groups of chattering girls. She walks into Mrs. DuGar's room. A deafening din greets her as she tries to weave through the clustered girls. Suddenly the first bell rings. The chat- tering fades as the girls hurry to form chapel lines. Second bell - all is silent. Now chapel is over, and the Freshmen get the books, and swoop down into their classrooms. For the rest of 'the day, if you see a slightly distracted or overwrought teacher, she teaches Freshmen. The last bell rings, and a clamor is heard somewhat like a herd of elephants as the 'Freshmen get their coats and plunge for the car, bus or rapid. Everyone in the building sighs, The Freshmen are gone. Peace once more! 95 unior Academic Class Last spring when we joyfully flung our straps into the air, we knew we were upper school girls. The honor system and the responsibility that goes with it made us feel we had grown up, and we knew others thought so too. These actions, our wonderful trip to Washington, and other experiences made us feel we were expected to act like adults. For the most part we did. Occasionally, though, we lost our dignity in bursts of mirth. Sometimes you heard the echo of escaped, suppressed laughter seeping out of the Jr. Ac. studyhall as a scornful Senior proctor turned her back. Then in an instant the eighth grade ladies again would become quiet and reserved as the Senior looked around surprised and puzzled.

Life could not be insipider, Things could not be prosaicer, If we lived in Antarctica. We've been around for a few short years But the fact of the case now appears, We're swamped with fans up to our ears. Monotonous! Tennesse Williams breaks glass for us. George Bernard Shaw left his fortune to us. CWe're the only group in the history of the English language that uses a fifty-letter alphabet. jut try to translate our English themesj Greyhound leaves the driving to us. Monotonous! For all it's worth around the earth, we're known as femmes fatales, But when applause come up like thunder, brother! Take back your Carnegie Hall! We get boxes of Vicuna coats, Diamonds and pearls fairly choke our throats. Christopher Columbus gave us his boats. Monotonous! Elvis Presley entertains us with tea, Abdal Nasser gave us the Red Sea. In fact, we planted the Laurel Tree. Montonous! Letters and gifts from all over the world, Are sent us by jet speed. It might be exciting someday if we learned to read. Life could not be insipider, Things could not be prosaicer, If we lived in Antarctica. 98 Tune: The Game We've got to think about the school, the school, the school We've got to think about the rules, the rules, the rules. Boys and cars may be great, So they're great, they'll have to wait, While we think about the school. There was this weekend up at Yale, Planned down to the last detail. Rain nor sleet nor snow nor hail, None could ever block our trail. A game? Yes A dance? Yes. A letter through the mail? Yes. So there we were at the airport. Last call, United Airlines Flight 204 now ready for de parture at Gate 8. But then we thought about our grades, our grades, our grades. Oh, yes, we thought about our grades, our grades, our grades. Though our impulse said to go, our conscience said no, no, And we thought about our grades. When the phone begins to ring - remember - refrain! When you're craving one last fling - remember - abstain! When you're winning at bridge, and the clock says it's eleven, And suddenly it dawns on you - you must be up by seven, And you haven't done your math or history. Be polite, say goodnight. You should be in bed by ten! When the school serves you cake - remember - stay thin! When you write until your hand aches - remember - Don't give in! Every rule we shall obey, to be sure. To endure, we must become good and pure. Good and pure! To our fans around the nation, we will see you at vacation, But for now we must observe every rule, And think about the school, think about the school, think about the, think about the, think about the, think about the school! 99 Senior Class Song Tune: Won?

Incessantly, the Stu- dent Council must argue these and many other unanswered questions regarding the order of the school and the rules by which every Laurel girl must live. Under the competent leadership of Barbie Phillips, the representatives must make, follow, and enforce the rules. They must devote themselves completely and wholeheartedly to the cause of pro- ducing an effective school government. They must swear by Jennie Johnson's immaculate book of minutes that Laurel's Honor Systern will never die. And die it won't, as long as these responsible representatives do their jobs. just dare wear sweatshirts, tennis shoes, or nail polish. You'll go around barefoot. just try to talk in chapel line. You'll never talk again, so perhaps it isn't too wise to try. just run in the halls once. You'll be flat on your face, tripped by one smiling, prudent member of the Student Council.

Laurel Leaves The bell rang to begin the sixth period on Tuesday. During this time, var- ious activities began to assemble. I became interested in one tall figure with blond hair who was walking towards room 7. She was very efficient and organ- ized looking and I wondered what her function was in the group meeting in that room. As she turned to enter the room, I saw that it was Di Lyons, editor of Laurel Leaves. I walked in behind her to observe the various Laurel Leaver' committees in action. Di took her place behind the desk and began speaking of all the jobs which had to be accomplished. She had only mentioned the dance which the Laurel Leaver' staff sponsors, when Nan volunteered to be chairman of the dance corn- mittee. She was granted the post and thereupon got a far away look in her eyes and began to mutter things about This year it's going to be different. I returned my attention to Diane, who was dismissing the business committee to go and finish the task of addressing 2,000 business letters. She then reminded the literary and art boards that they all had things to do! Eventually everyone was busy at her assigned task. Amidst such concentrated effort, I crept out of the room to resume my homework. ART BOARD Seated: Anne Werneke, Nancy Hough, Gay Reynolds. Standing: Ky Wilson, Gail Billings.

'I09 unior Council n World Affairs Every other Thursday, barring important tests for those in charge, the Junior Council on World Affairs meets after school. Before plunging into the intellectual depths of world politics, the girls are fortified with refreshments, the choice of food being determined by the state of the budget. Follow- ing this, there may be a speaker on some problem of inter- national importance, or perhaps the girls will air their own opinions in discussion groups. Whatever the program, the arguments Cor, more politely, discussionsb stimulated thereby will continue for hours afterwards. The most important event for Junior Council each year is the Model U. N. As- sembly in Lakewood. This year Laurel Junior Council's very capable president, Polly Glennan, was chosen assistant Secre- tary General. The Laurel delegation represented India. Twelve girls spent an entire day trying to stay actively neu- tral. Although we doubt if any of these girls will ever be- come our ambassador to India, their enthusiastic participation showed that Junior Council had accomplished its purpose in fostering an interest in current international problems.

Mugwum ps Seven Laurel Mugwumps, their guest, and Miss Florance, eight Reserve Mug- wumps and Mr. Danforth meet bi-monthly to resolve the critical world situation. Din- ner and conversation develop their respective powers to eat and socialize - we have noticed a marked improvement in this respect. During the course -of the ensuing in- formal discussion, papers are read, attacked, and defended, outlooks are questioned, discussed, and stretched. As a result, the affirmative is distinguished from the negative, an agreement is reached, world tensions are eased and seven Laurel Mugwumps, their guest, and Miss Florance proceed homeward to Cleveland, or eight Reserve Mugwumps and Mr. Danforth to Hudson, as the case may be. ll'l aurel In Review One of the most welcomed additions to Laurel's list of activities this year is doubt- less the new school paper, the Laurel Review. By merging the traditional sophomore project, Roundabout, with the literary magazine, Laureate, the editors and staff of the Laurel Review promise the school a more interesting and more successful publication. Seeing as how the success of the paper will depend largely on the school's reaction, it is only a tentative project for this year, and only one edition will be published some- time during the spring. But, under the expert diligence and slaving work of Mrs. Yearley, the paper's faculty advisor, Kathy Lee, the editor, and Marg Ramsey, the co- editor, the excellence of this one chef d'oeuvre is certainly guaranteed. Laurel girls have never really shown their journalistic talents on any pages other than those in the yearbook, and this is mainly due to the fact that we have never been fortunate enough to have a printed paper. We've got it now, and we must really thank these girls for another dream come true.

Shall I investigate or shall I not? I shall. I turn to the left, walk down the hall, turn left again, then right, and left, another right, and finally I arrive at the source of it all - Miss Orpen's room. You see, this beautiful, magnificent, glorious music is really the Laurel choir, practicing for today's choir response in chapel. Such talent these sixteen representatives of the Junior and Senior classes have! The sopranos are enchanting, the seconds are marvelous, the altos wonderful, and the bari- tones handsome. The baritones! Oh, here I go again! I come out of my little world in time to hear the 8:45 bell ringing, officially open- ing school for another day. I start to leave, but am suddenly stampeded by 52 feet. I look up and see it's only the choir, rushing to their specific chapel seats for another day's duty. , .. , I 5 , - C X v I I6 Glee Club Have you ever wondered what goes on behind the closed chapel doors during fifth period every Monday? Well, curious one, Wonder no more, for I have explored this mysterious territory to find the answer, and here is ,my report. It happens that fifth period Monday has been set aside for Glee Club rehearsal. Glee club? Yes, believe it or not, Laurel does have a glee club. It is composed of all the fortunately talented Juniors and Seniors who are willing to give up a study hall and devote their time to uttering new sounds at each movement of Miss Orpen's hand. In the background can be heard Laurel's version of Liberace, Miss Cowin. Unitedly, Miss Orpen, Miss Cowin, and the Glee Club itself form forty-five minutes of hard work.

Members of this renowned group add so much to Laurel's dramatic presentations that very likely without Dance Club's exotic performances, Laurel's audiences would markedly diminish. The dancers create sensational moods by jumping into the Seine or by re-enacting the effects of Mr. Belaker's cocktail shaker. Under Mrs. iMcCollom's expert guidance for the first half of the year preceding her trip to Europe, the girls turned up as char- acters from Shakespeare and peasants from the Swiss Alps. As woodland nymphs, they dash gracefully through forests, skillfully dodging Cupid's arrows, and their veritable wonderland puts us back in the days of Venus, Jupiter, and Golden Greece. In the years to come, these Pavlovas will dance their way to fame, and we fortunate Laurel girls can be first to say, We saw them first. Bron!

Athletic Association The Athletic Association of Laurel, represented by the letters A.A., is an important part of the school. Besides making sure there are always plenty of bandages and stretchers around the gym, its members have many other jobs. First of all, they help to create team and school spirit by scheduling team and inter-school games. Some of them, also, help to referee at these games. In the spring, the A.A. holds its annual gym meet. Here, all the talented and triple-jointed girls get a chance to show off their skills, while the others just sit in wonder and awe. Towards the end of the school year, the A.A. holds a May Day. Shortly after this comes the Athletic Luncheon, where all the awards are given. Everyone knows that this is the grand finale of the A.A., and, al- though happy to receive awards, they are sad, for they know that exams are just around the corner. 123 Q si Left to Right: Cathy Bishop, Bobo Frisse, Barb Jalovec, Kathy Lee, Gay Reynolds, Sue Deasy, Sally Griesinger, Susie Crile, Debbie Minshall, Ann Iacey, Marianne Relic. Hockey Team All Laurel girls who have, up to this point, become afflicted with incredible mal- adies at the beginning of their hockey periods in gym, have taken up the game with a new enthusiasm and vigor this fall, for those lucky Laurel Thirteen who journeyed to Buffalo one weekend in November returned on a train infested with members of West- ern Reserve Academy's varsity teams. Naturally this just was by purest chance and should mean nothing to energetic hockey players of this school, but it would make a trip more interesting. While in Buffalo, the Laurel varsity put up a brave fight against their hostesses but, unfortunately, were defeated by a score of 5-0. The girls had no other chance to gain back their reputation and demonstrate their prowess, because, due to flooding rains, the Hockey Play Day, which was to be held at Laurel, was called off. Never- Fheless, it is the spirit that counts, and this, most assuredly, they had. We can only hope for better weather next year and a rousing victory over the Buffalo girls, who will be Laurel's guests next fall. 1. 127 V Honestly Did someone all me, Dah1ing?

The entertainment in the chapel, under Mrs. McCollom's direction, was a series of witty skits presented by various classes illustrating a Laurelite's knowledge, diligence, and interest in the field of education. When the curtain closed, one could almost see the audience wishing they knew what Laurel girls know. The wish most likely popped up again when the guests observed the juniors' creations in the gym. Observing the golden opportunity theme, the class opened a Klondike gambling casino for business, appropriately called The Golden Gambler. Actually the affair was all legal, because the proceeds, naturally, went to United Appeal. The freshmen were responsible, as usual, for refreshments. Most glamorous vendors in white shorts and sailor hats sold hundreds of popcorn balls and candied apples, while, in the dining room, the freshmen unveiled the Pot Of Gold Special, which turned out to be a delicious butterscotch sundae. Through the enthusiasm and co-operation of the school, Laurel again was able to produce an excellent and happy carnival for the United Appeal Fund. Senior Play IX Lx CJ. One of the primary attractions of Laurel's theatrical sented one of the best known and universally popular plays 'W ever to be produced -- Shakespeare's Af You Like It. Af You Like It was being given before enthusiastic curriculum is the senior play. This year's senior class pre- u I I L audiences as early as 1600. It was first brought to this coun- try to the King's Theatre in New York. Although Af You Like It has been produced many times in many different ways. our production was not without originality. In Shakespeare's time it was customary for young men to play female as well as male leads. However, due to to a regrettable lack of the opposite sex, ours was a unique all girl cast. Many actresses have received acclaim in the role of Rosalind, and Pat Hunt was no exception. Ellen Harding was well cast as Orlando. Lynne Carter, who played the part of Celia, had appeared as the feminine lead in the U. S. senior play for two consec- utive years. Di Lyons began her acting career at the tender age of seven, appearing at Cain Park and at Severance Hall. She retired from the theatre at the age of ten and staged a smashing comeback in the part of Touchstone. Shakespeare himself appeared, it is said, in the part of the faithful servant, Adam. We think Debby Elliott did a wonderful job, despite the fame of her predecessor. All in all, Ar You Like It had everything. 134 Orlando --- Adam --- Oliver --- Dennis ....

Little do we realize that the Carol Service is upon us. But that fateful Friday morning the green and white mass of giggles and whispers is transformed into a green and white mass of silent solemnity and innocence. A mouth will not dare to open without the familiar command of Miss Orpen's arms. And then, the beauty of 287 harmonious voices holds the audience in utter awe. The Laurel girls and Miss Orpen, of course, have done it again. Choir in the traditional red robes, Glee Club in their blue ones, and the entire school have given all they have in their most melodious way. Actually, the Carol Service is one of the happiest hours in a Laurel girl's life - one which she will always remember.

From then on the events of the weekend snowballed into a very small snowball - no snow. Since all Laurel girls are optimists at heart, we made the best of things and had a good time anyway. After the first shock and dismal feeling of seeing a green and white ski-slope, we waded back through little muddy rivers on the road and began our perpetual floating bridge game. As the old saying doesn't go - Cards are a girl's best friend. However, all was not lost since this was probably better preparation for college than any English class could ever be. Also we helped the card industry by wearing out a couple of decks and losing three cards which flew out the bus window on the way home. We also had a priceless commodity - men. Forty Penn Sigma Chi's precipitated upon us early in the weekend to add a bit of joyful and rather drunken gaiety to our empty little lives. We spent a few quite delightful afternoons up at the main lodge, shoving through crowds of swaying Sigma Chi's and clouds of smoke and trying desper- ately to find a place of our own to stand before someone stepped all over us. When cold and bruises seemed preferable to smoke, we rented saucers and piled as many on as possible. The person on the bottom of five got all bruised, and the person on top always got a mouth full of hay from the break-stop at the bottom. When all else failed, we went back to our lodges and stared into the fire, getting alternately unbearably hot and unbearably cold as we had to move back and forth. We played blackjack with matches for poker chips and held a seance in which we tried to communicate with Judah P. Benjamin. The latter finally arrived about 2:00 that morn- ing in the form of roughly twenty boys running and shouting down the hall. We were all quite pleased to have been so successful. I now have the unpleasant duty of reporting several accidents. One girl fell on the way to the slopes and skinned her knee quite badly. Another was hit in the cheek by a flying coke bottle cap. Still another was kicked in the face by a little boy while riding down the slope in an overcrowded saucer. Worst of all, during a sleigh ride -- the conventional type on dirty hay and pulled by a blg old truck, one of the girl's fuzzy after-ski slippers wore through and she was forced to run after the truck in her stocking feet. I hear she almost caught a cold. We all came home with sore throatsg we yelled Avery, oh Avery, Aghhh. once too often. 144 'Y-:na X e , ..
