PHYLLIS RIEHL— G.D. If she didn ' t excel in general design, modern dancing, horseback riding, swimming, skiing and summer camp work — and if she didn ' t handle all the odd jobs from running the Brush-Off” to clerking at the school store — and if she didn ' t have a Mom that makes such wonderful cookies . . . then, she just wouldn ' t be our Phil. PHIL JACKIE BILLIE JACQUELIN SAUNDERS— T.T. A serious and progressive teacher trainer; we count on her for perfect examples of correlation and inte- gration. A charter member of the riding club. One of a pair — her sense of humor rises to the top when she and Margie are together. We never know what they are laughing at, but they have fun! ADRIENNE SEAGRAVE -G.D. “Billie” might not suggest a silvery laugh and golden hair — but there is a story behind that nickname. Somehow her work incorporates sincerity and vivaciousness and is suggestive of the wind, the wide open West, and her Navy man across the sea ... At rest period we invariably witness the tempo- rary disappearance of Ellie and Billie.

BARBARA PEASE— T.T. A never-ending source of good humor — a readiness to assist any- one in need of help. A hostess to sailors and soldiers at the Y”. Peasey devotes all her spare time — and even her thesis — to the morale building of the service men. On the side she is taking a course in Fluent” French. We wonder why? BARBARA RYAN— T.T. The vigorous member of the Bartlett, Boyce, Ryan gang, and a dweller at the Y”! Hearts and flowers make up her motif. She has a super sense of humor . . . bubbling over with jolly, contagious laughter and a store of jokes which she picks up somewhere. What a joy she must be to those high school students on Tuesdays! ALBERT PETITTO— T.T. Harassed and heckled by women, Al is the man of our Art Education outfit. An able sculptor and car- penter, he is our salvation when there is construction work to be done. With his window displays and figurines, “Petitt is already established in the business world. He is a clever fellow . . . with a twinkle in his eye. . . . PETin RYE

MARY CONLON— G.D. Driving energy . . . she carries the political problems of the universe in her mind, — then deftly finds ex- pressive transition in her class work. Her theories have capably envel- oped modern painters, music, books and Walt Whitman. Conversational gaps are filled with news of her girls — Virginia and Dorothy. PHYLLIS TOCK— G.A. A soft voice and gentle ways sur- round the knowing power that exists within. Her silence, always friendly, is rarely broken by fault- finding criticism, but more usually by well considered praise. Along the way, impeded by constant change, she has remained at heart — the graphic artist. MARY PHYL DENNIS SHEEHAN We remember his quiet and whim- sical personality as a member of the Reilly, Flanagan, Sheehan trio. To know Dennis was to discover his depth of thought and feeling in art — and in all things. As a fine like- able person he will remain in the memories of his classmates.
