CONSTANCE G. HIRSCH Commercial One of the greatest disappointments to M-N ' s masculine segment has been Connie ' s singular attention to a favored few, sometimes from rival schools. No doubt Connie has gained this inter -scholastic popu- larity with her pretty hair and diminutive figure, characteristics which twice have made her a fitting Sadie Hawkins wolf -gal.

BARBARA FAE MADDOX Commercial The head majorette the last two years started twirling as one of M-N ' s original band batonists., Barbara passes her time horseback riding, driving her troublesome car, and going to Holy Cross.
