Maty A Smith Experience is the best teacher. Mary Ann, our class president during what might be called our most spectacular year, has been an inspired leader. Her interest in music, and her gifted voice have made her a mainstay of the Glee Club. As an expert on serious bridge, Mary Ann generously condescends to play with us of less than Culbertson caliber. Despite her abrupt frankness, and dispassionate curiosity, Mary Ann's sense of humor carries her through almost any situation. She has an undying passion for red shoes, and tends to ignore the assets of her comely dimple and her white shoulders. Mary Ann has never found a sufficiently fascinating man, but when she does it will, no doubt, prove interesting. We will all remember Mary Ann for her unique open houses, intriguing brothers, and cold temper which freezes instead of boils.

Patricia Clifford Born with the gift of laughter and a sense that the world is mad. Tabu” Vaughn Monroe, and a Florida tan constitute Patsy's three secondary loves. These she pursues with her customary enthusiasm. Her light blue eyes are remarkable for their sparkle, and her ankles for their slimness. Patsy's sense of poise and style surpass our futile attempts at sophistication, but she never seems blase. Pat, our secretary-treasurer, is one of the gayest members of our class, and she regales us with her unique experiences. Her humor seldom fails us, and she is capable of carrying off the most embarrassing situations. Patsy with all her efficient manner accomplishes less than one would suppose. Despite the fact that spelling is her Waterloo, we predict writing of some type for her career. We are amused by Patsy's idiosyncrasies; we laugh at her exaggerated stories; we are drawn into seriousness by her more righteous moods. We will miss her next year—she's fun!
