And now we come to Nance , a gal who has helped to keep the old class rolling along its merry way for six years. The locker room will be a dull place without you and your never failing humor, Brownie, and anyone who hasn't heard one of those famous whop- pers doesn't know what he's missing! But our Nance has her se- rious side too, and, after a year or two at Katharine Gibbs, she has her eye on the radio and television studios. GLORIA ARLENE BUCKINGHAM How the wit brightens! l-low the style refines! Victory Corps l, Basketball l, 2, Library Aide 2, Glee Club l, Z, 3, 4, B. G, A.

Her readiness to laugh at a joke is evidence of her sense of humor, as people coming from far and wide to her parties can tell you. Although it is rarely seen, Gloria does have a serious side and this plus her personality makes a sure com- bination which will enable her to become a successful merchandise buyer. ANASTASIA CALlTRl l laughed 'till l cried. Victory Corps l, Rhode lsland Honor Society, Beacon Staff 4, Ar- row Business Staff 4, Arrow Assistant Business Manager 4, Girls' Basketball l, B. G. A. A, 3. Anna's most outstanding characteristic is her laughing nature. Her favorite type of entertainment is dancing to swing music, but she's often seen bowling, or at basketball games. Stacia's ability as a stenographer has been proven many times by the superb job she has done as a Beacon compositor, success in the business world is as- suredly hers. i5
