“Bili” William A. Coons Man, what a cool haircut! Actually, Bill’s second cousin is a porcupine. Never at a loss for jokes and wise cracks, Bill amuses everyone with his witty remarks. A senior transfer from Poughkeepsie, Bill became “one of the boys” the moment he blew in the door. Should we say something nice about him? Nope—he would just laugh at us. Judy A. Corskie G. A. A. (1, 2, 3, 4), 50 Point Award (1); Masque (1, 2); Freshman Chorus (1), Girls’ Glee Club (2, 3), Mixed Chorus (3); Style Show (1). “Hey, Judy! Do you want my sandwich?” The reply is always “Yes!” Aside from being fond of food, Judy wields a terrific sense of humor that can keep any and all groups in stitches. (We’ve even seen the faculty smile once in a while!) Someday an artist will paint her eating a double-decker- strawberry-pistachio ice-cream cone and playing ring-toss with her halo. We don’t know where the future will find her, but we’re certain she won’t be caught in a library. Earlene A. Dailey Earlene, a Worcesterite who is very active in youth fel- lowship groups, has attained high grades in her school work and ranks among the leaders of our class. One of the nicest gals of ’57 and truly a paragon of senior poise, Earlene will undoubtedly go to the top as a lawyer’s girl-Friday. Her sin- cere smile and willingness to help make her much sought after among the seniors as well as the underclassmen. “Bill” Football J. V. (2, 3); Track J. V. (3); Masque (4), Pin (4), “Curious Savage” (4), “Sorry, Wrong Number” (4); Freshman Chorus (1). Boys’ Glee Club (2, 3, 4), Mixed Chorus (2, 3, 4), Pendant (4); All- State Chorus (4); Chorus Business Manager (4); Band (1, 2, 3, 4); Orchestra (4); “Smoky Mountain” (4); Solonscope (4); Record Board (4). Wherever there’s good food and jazz, you can locate Bill. Don’t let our future business man deceive you by a quiet exterior. Always ready to laugh at a good joke or witty remark, Bill could correctly be called ’57’s “Happy Whistler.” Both the percussion section of our band and the tenor section of the MHS chorus will sadly miss this pleasant chap’s support.

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.”

James E. Davis “Jim” With a sense of humor and a twinkle in his eye, Jim at- tracts attention from all sides of the room. Some people think he is a misogynist, but we’ve seen him courting several girls. Although Jim doesn’t mind coming to school, we’ve heard him mutter something about a petition for more and longer vacations. Some people thing that his last name should be Stewart—or haven’t you noticed the resemblance? Linda S. Davis G. A. A. (1, 2); Masque (1, 2, 3, 4), The Curious Savage” (4), Sorry, Wrong Number” (4); Band (1, 2, 3); Silver M” (4); Student Council (2,3); Solonscope (2,3,4), Assistant Editor (3); Record Board (3,4). Contrary to the general consensus of opinion, Linda spends very little of her time engaged in conversation; in- stead the majority of her spare hours are passed in writing for the Solonscope and Record. Brimming over with ideas and suggestions, Linda has shown unusual journalistic abil- ity and originality. We appreciate her competent leadership and all the important contributions she has made to the class of ’57. David F. Day “Dave” Football J. V. (1), Varsity (2, 3, 4). Letter (2, 3, 4); Baseball Man- ager (2). Next in our ’57 line-up we find Dave, a likable Worces- terite with a ready smile and a frequent laugh. If a fire ever threatens you, this is the man to call—our Student Gov- ernment Day fireman. Of course, if there’s some tackling to be done, remember that he was also chosen as first team All-State center. Dependability mixed with congeniality make Dave a nice guy to have around. Eugene B. DeRosie “Gene” Although Gene is usually seen with Jim and the boys, this genial senior is, by no means, entirely averse to girls. Those initials could easily stand for “Earnest Rut Diffident”! What about the future? Well, Gene yearns to see the world—at Uncle Sam’s expense.
