Sally L. Bernardini Cheerleading J. V. (1, 2), Varsity (3, 4), Captain (4); Class Secre- tary (1); Masque (4); Office Staff (2, 3, 4); Student Council (4); Girls State (3); Style Show (1, 3); G. A. A. (1, 2, 3). Clothes, clothes, and more clothes! This is the young lady with lots of poise who sets the pace style-wise at MHS As our head cheerleader, Sal has plenty to “yell” about —and so do we! Bob ought to get in on this act, too; for the course of true love certainly has run long and smoothly. Nancy A. Blaisdell “Nan' G. A. A. (1, 2, 3, 4), Secretary (2), 50 Point Award (2), 100 Point Award (3), 200 Point Award (4); Masque (1, 2, 3, 4), “Little Dog Laughed” (2), “Smoky Mountain” (4); Cheerleading J. V. (2), Var- sity (3, 4), Solonscope (2, 3, 4); Freshman Chorus (1); Record (4); Class Secretary (3), Junior Prom Committee Chairman (3). “V-I-C-T-O-R-Y” — Isn’t that right, Nan? Here’s another one of our pretty cheerleaders who can really “holler the score up.” Have you ever noticed her dark, shiny hair, her blue eyes, and her mischievous grin ? We know wrhat Nancy is dreaming about when she gazes out the window on a sunny day—a trip in her car to a good fishing spot with a collie chum and a box of paints for company. Sounds good, huh, Nancy ? Best of luck and it’s been fun knowing you! June R. Bruce Salutatorian (4); Freshman Chorus (1); Pro-Merito (4); Style Show (2). If you want to find June's name, just look on the honor roll. If you want to find June, look for a diminutive, blue- eyed gal in the midst of a group of seniors waiting in the hall for classes to start. Some underclassmen, we understand, think this Worcesterite is the quiet type; but we seniors know how much her smile and her laugh have added to our fun—in class and out. We’re sure she’ll have little trouble in conquering the wide, wide world, and her boss’ heart as well. Stuart R. Bryan, Jr. “Stuv Football J. V. (1, 2), Varsity (3, 4) ; Baseball J. V. (1); Track Var- sity (3, 4), Letter (3, 4); Ticket Squad (1, 2). Rumor has it that Stu loves to shoot cats, crush cater- pillars, and throw rocks at worms; unfortunately—or for- tunately!—no one has ever seen him commit these misdeeds in order to report him to the S. P. C. A. Where is Stu on a sunny Saturday ? Out in the woods enjoying the beauties of nature, of course. Our good-looking senior with a dashing smile has been a great asset to the football and track teams.

“Connie” Conrad I). Belanger Class Treasurer (1). Hurry, hurry, hurry—step right up! Connie is forever dashing about as Miss Ketelle’s right-hand man, as an ambitious worker at Nelsons' or just looking for Ginny. He handles that red Ford, which is always ailing, with a seem- ingly magic touch. His friendly smile and good looks are a combination for which his entire family is noted. Nancy J. Belanger G. A. A. (1, 2); Class Vice-President (1); F. H. A. (4), Reporter (4); Masque (1); Freshman Chorus (1); Band (1, 2, 3, 4); Solonscope (4); Record Board (4); Freshman Reception Committee Chairman (4); Style Show (2). Here's a girl who loves to have a good time! Voted class clown by her classmates, Nancy can make a person laugh by just winking at him—or her. And you should see her twirl those batons! Nancy’s attractive smile and keen wit have made her fun to be with and one of our favorite people. Renfield T. Belanger “Ren” Oh, that calypso beat. Ren, a really hard-working senior, finds ideal relaxation while listening to Harry Belafonte. This one of “the three who tends to shy away from the opposite sex, is a fast talker (with frequent humorous asides), a neat dresser, and a true friend. Some girl will be mighty lucky one of these days! Peter A. Benedini “Pete” Basketball J. V. (1, 2); Baseball J. V. (1), Varsity (2, 4), Letter (2); Ticket Squad (1, 2). Pete and casual attire (dungarees) have become prac- tically synonymous to MHSers; but my when he’s dressed up .... ! Usually even-tempered with a pleasant “Hello there! , Pete is one fellow to watch out for when he’s really angry. He’s definitely not the shy type when it comes to three-minute oral topics; World War II is his favorite for talking on and on and on. Pete’s full of surprises. He amazed us by first chugging past in his ancient black relic, and then cruising by again in that gorgeous green limousine. What next?

Marlene I). Bryant G. A. A. (1, 2, 3, 4), 50 Point Award (2), 100 Point Award f3), 200 Point Award (4); Masque (1, 2, 3), The Lottery (2); Freshman Chorus (1), Girls’ Glee Club (2, 3); Pro-Merito (3); Solonscope (2. 3); Record Board (4); Freshman Reception Committee Chairman (4). A tall, graceful girl with a quiet personality, Marlene uses efficiency and friendliness to get things done. (Now you know the secret of success.) Besides being an outstanding gal scholastically, she’s also quite the champ in athletics. Know what? Marlene plans to be a psychologist. Cer- tainly her poise and congeniality will be appreciated by all who know her. David O. Cary “Dave” Where Calvin is, you can usually find Dave. He’s a hap- py-go-lucky guy who can keep any class lively. As the great outdoorsman, he hunts and fishes and fishes and hunts and hunts and fishes. Out of season his main hobby is cars, and we hear he’s quite a mechanic! Want to see him blush? Just ask him about those Waterbury girls. Well, Dave? Elsa Chapin Class Vice-President (2); Masque (1, 2, 3, 4), Treasurer (4); Fresh- man Chorus (1), Girls’ Glee Club (2, 3, 4), Mixed Chorus (2, 3, 4), All-State Chorus (4); Chorus Assistant Business Manager (3); Pro- Merito (4); Record Board (3, 4); Girls State (3). She dances, she sings, she designs clothes, she’s a con- noisseur of the unusual, she’s unique, and well—she’s Elsa! Needless to say she swept the field and took all honors as the most talented member of the Class of ’57. If you want to go in six directions at once, try to keep track of Elsa. We certainly wish her the best of luck to match her abil- ity. Faye S. Coffin G. A. A. (1); Librarian (2, 3); Freshman Chorus (1); Style Show (2). “When you’re smiling, the whole world smiles with you . . .” is, we believe, Faye’s theme song because she sings and lives it so beautifully. Friendliness, sedulousness (ask Faye what that means), and intelligence are only a few of her qualities. Miss Hallgren would, we think, recommend her as an excellent “girl Friday.”
