MAUREEN ALTHEA CONNOLLY “ When Irish eyes are smiling11—Hart A small black knitting box sits in the middle of the senior room floor, as our most industrious senior sits completing another crew-neck sweater. However, knitting is only one of Maureen’s talents. She is the renowned track star of the senior class, being able to run the hockey field in thirty seconds without being out of breath. She is famous for her ability to round up unwilling classmates to help with worthy causes. The talent her classmates appreciate most about Maureen is her ability to listen (which possibly resulted from years of practice with her next door neighbor). M'reen .. . powerful volleyball serve ... light blue eye and dork lashes ... oh that car ... amazing stability evidenced by refusal to respond to confused neighbor's example ... the perfect example of a friend in need is a friend indeed. Maureen is an invaluable guest; she not only peps up any party but also is willing to help clean up afterwards. Considering Maureen’s many qualities, we feel that she will have no trouble in accomplishing any tasks she undertakes. Add to the list of attractions one infectious Irish smile, and you have M’reen.

ELEANOR GREEN CASWELL “A good deed is never lost”—Basil Spring has sprung, fall has fell, skiing is here, and there goes Caswell — off to go skiing, of course. Whereas her classmates moan at the first signs of cold, Casey rushes to the phone to confirm her reservations at the local ski resorts. This year she even ventured as far afield as Switzerland. El doesn’t limit her athletic prowess to one field, however. In addition to being an excellent skier, she is also an accomplished horsewoman. Although her classmates are willing to accept every word of theory as absolute truth, Eleanor never lets an unproven statement stand unchallenged. “But Miss Ellinwood why is Einstein right?” Casey somehow maintains a good figure while defending her record for the largest one meal consumption of pineapple desserts at N.C.S. El’s gentle frankness and realism have made her a soothing influence in the lives of her wilder classmates. Cosey ... ovid ski enthusiast and skilled equestrienne ... vocal prowess contributed to Senior Choir... impossible questions . . . served on Public Relations and Publication committees os well as junior volleyball team . . . individualistic but instinctively thoughful.

MARILYN CURTICE “I have no superfluous leisure” —Shakespeare Up roars a yellow and white Chewy, and, concealed by cameras, tripods, and gadget bags, out bounces Curtice. This Tatler Photography Editor extraordinaire can always be counted on to give her best to whatever she undertakes. Skating is her specialty. She is the only member of the class to still wear her skirts above the knees - only while skating of course. The Ice Capades may soon claim her talents. An avid Blake fan, and with good reason, Marilyn has been dividing her time between Northrop, Blake, and Europe. Her fantastic tales of places like Copenhagen have enlivened more than one senior room session. An actively participating member of the infamous Spanish II, Marilyn daily contributes her humor to this session devoted to the pursuit of learning the finer points of the language. The petit chou of the class of ’57 has given many of our days an extra sparkle. An excellent figure and quite a skater make quite an excellent figure skater ... Night of January 16 ... bright blue eyes ... sharp wit... amazing volleyball form ... understanding pal.
