Remember Mrs. l-loisington , that oh-so-sophisticated grand'dame of last year's Senior play? Well, hiding behind the lorgnette was Gretch , the local Bernhardt, And have you- ever seen that flashy Ford burning up the road between Barrington and Pawtucket? Or is it W. Barrington now, Gretch ? Let's hope there are no blowouts- 'till next year, anyway, when Grouch will -transport her personality- plus and tres amusants exaggerations to l-larcum Junior College, where 'tis rumored she'll be taking many more curtain callsl ' ANNE CUZZONE Charms her modesty concealed. Beacon ' Staff 4, Arrow Business Staff 4, B. G. A. A. 3, Volleyball 3. Cootie , as she is known to her friends, is the dark-haired girl you see running around the corridors and behind the stamp booth, Al- though Anne seems quiet in class, her favorite music is jazz and her interest in sports runs toward watching football and basketball. She plans to further her education at a business school next year. CATHERINE DEANS But in quiet self-control. It would be a much calmer and more peaceful world if we all had such patience as Kay , for such self-control is like the velvet glove without the iron hand. However, we hear that you do let yourself go when it comes to bowling, Kay , and that some pretty high scores result as proof. lt's usually a long and far from smooth road that must be travelled before one's ambition is fulfilled, but with a back- ground in nursing at the Maryland Children's l-lospital, steady and faithful work and interest, your dream most certainly has a good chance of becoming a reality, and you'll be seen inthe air-a hostess! ADELlNE DE MATTEO . Loose were her jetty locks-in wavy tresses flowing. Library Aide 2. I Adeline is the gal with that gorgeous black hair, which is always immaculate in an attractive coiffure, and which has caused many to look twice. Her favorite type of entertainment is going to the movies, and we hear that she and Beth wouldn't miss Van Johnson for the world! Freckles would like to be a hairdresser, and we're sure that if practice makes perfect is true, Adeline will be a very capable beautician. l7
