Arthur L. Coher Look up in the sky. It’s a flock of curly hair; it ' s a flying grin; it’s a Cassa- nova. Yes, it’s all those things in one. Larry Coher — witty, full of fun — from crown to sole. Just what we need in today’s dismal world. Track 3 Stephen S. Comora One of the most amiable members of the electrical shop who is dubbed by all who know him “a good kid”, Steve can generally be counted on to give a friend a helping hand. The class of ’65 confidently ex- pects Steve to achieve ge- nuine success in the years that lie ahead. Vocational Club I, 2, 3, 4 Kathleen A. Connelly Kathy Connelly is certain to be One of the few, whom we may see, On a busy Market seat Pursuing her career on old Wall Street. Dramatic Guild 3 Guidance Club 3, 4 Peter W. Connelly A fine boy with a quiet but vibrant personality, who is certainly an asset to P.H.S. So glad you de- cided to come down from the sticks, Pete. He is in- teresting to meet and in- terested in others. Four years in the Coast Guard Academy should prepare him for any of lie’s tri- bulations. “Beware the fury of a pa- tient man.” Junior Achievement 4 Ski Club 4 Guidance Club 4 Meta Advertising 4 James A. L. Connor, Jr. A swell boy with an ex- tremely lively personality, to which his teachers will agree most readily. His in- terests are varied. In his own words, number one on the list is “girls.” Some- day he hopes to become a mechanical engineer, a goal which he is likely to achieve and one which we wish him luck in. Remember — behind every successful man, there is a woman. Nicholas J. Costa Although verbally sedate he makes a pretty good sound on the trumpet and can always be found, “Where the boys are”. We certainly hope that “Nick” has a sunny path through life. Band 1,2,3 Frances V. Conway This petite distributive ed. student plans a career in hairdressing. Friendly, co-operative and totally in- terested in all her endeav- ors, Fran’s future success is assured. D.E.C.A. 4 Leonard R. Cook Did you ever wonder what a quiet persons thinks about? Ask Lenny Cook, He’s an expert on the sub- ject. But, don’t get the im- pression that he’s stoic! On the contrary he’s always smiling and often has a good joke in his back pock- et. Track Team 2, 3 Patricia Corkum A wonderful girl with great personality appeal. One who definitely enjoys life and all its components, especially water skiing — “Splash” — We see her later as a medical secretary to Dr. Kildare. Wouldn’t that be fun, Pat?

We wish her the best of luck in the future. James A. Cherney “When the going gets tough — the tough get going.” Jim always has had the knack for getting things done — and done well. With such iron like perseverance and clever mind how could he fail at any chosen task? It will be difficult indeed to say goodbye to so illus- trious a classmate. Band 1,2 Guidance Club 3 Track 2, 3, 4 Cross Country 3, 4 Meta Literary Staff 4 Observer Literary Staff 4 Wayne B. Christiansen You can tell him by his hair, by his jacket, by his flair.

Whenever you see Ellen in the corridor, there is a faint smile and a quick Hi. . . . Junior Achievement 4 Beware red hair — for it may flair with wit, intelli- gence, and goodness. I don’t think we want to put her fire out, though. It‘s too beneficial. A great asset to our class, Dianne’s mis- sion in life will be ful- filled — to be a success in whatever she endeavors.

Clements Gail’s favorite pass time was talking on the phone and playing records. But although it would have been difficult to contact her between a busy line and recoids too loud o hear the phone we knew her to be a g. eat kid and a fine student. D.E.C.A.

Patricia L. Crane One of the quieter girls of our Senior class, who is most sincere with a personality to match. She is one who makes friends and keeps them for life; if you are one of the lucky people to be numbered among her true friends, you will always be able to count on Pat. Her ambi- tion is to become a medi- cal secretary — a profession, we’re sure, she will be a credit too. Cornelia M. Crean The META received a great contribution when Connie joined the art staff. Between sketches she manages to find time to help the incoming freshmen get to know the rules of the new high school. In each issue of the Observer a little bit of parchment is dedicated by Connie’s hand. Dramatic Guild 3 Guidance Club 4 Observer Art Staff 4 Meta Art Staff 4 Garden Club 3, 4 John F. Croali Maybe a cliche, but very true — tall, dark and hand- some. John was a favorite at P.H.S. His warmth and friendship won’t flicker out in the hearth of our me- mories. Football 1 , 2 Walter J. Cross, Jr. Wally originally a Re- vere boy, shines the hall- ways with that red hair of his! Coming from West Peabody on these chilly mornings each day makes his face the same shade, but . . . That cold couldn’t be too difficult for him be- cause he manages like a champ on the ice during the hockey game. His fu- ture seems directed towards Civil Engineering and the class of ’65 wishes him the best of everything in it. Baseball 2, 3, 4 Meta Literary Staff 4 warn Janet P. Curreri Janet is one of the most athletic girls attending P.H.S. , this year. She is an active member of the ever-increasing-in-popularity Ski Club. She is able to swim through the water with the grace of a dove flying through the air and she twirls her baton as easily as a master magician performs his feats of skill. As you can see, Janet is a sports enthusiast during both the winter and sum- mer months. Baton Squad 2, 3, 4 Glee Club 3 Ski Club 4 Junior Achievement 3 Music 4 Marilyn L. Curtis Marilyn is small, sweet and shy looking, but don’t let appearance fool you. Once she starts talking there’s no stopping her. She’s a lot of fun and she really keeps things jump- ing. It would be pretty quiet around here without Marilyn, so don’t change one bit, girl. And don’t work to hard at that typing, you’ll have sore fingers! ! ! Duane A. D’Agnese Duane, who seemed to be in the stands during the football games, more than on the field, can’t decide what the futures’ gonna be. He plays the guitar and there ' s always a chance . . . Well, look at George Harrison! Football 3, 4 Track 3,4 Dramatic Guild 3 Ski Club 4 Mech. Drawing Club 3 Kathleen E. Daly Anybody hear a noise? Well if you listen hard enough you may hear Ka- thy Daly. She’s cute and does a great job as an Observer representa- tive, but if you don’t watch for her you’ll never know she’s around. We’ll be looking for you, Kathy. Ski Club 3, 4 Guidance Club 3, 4 Dramatic Guild 3 Junior Achievement 3 Meta Literary Staff 4 National Honor Society 4 Office Pagette 4 Elizabeth A. Crowfoot Cherry Hill, New Jersey was a little less bright when Liz moved to Massa- chusetts. Beethoven never sounded so good until Liz began to tap away on the ivory keys. If she does as well in college as in P.H.S., we can count on honors galore for her. Ski Club 4 Library Staff 4 William F. Dalton Between explanations of why he hasn’t his excuse for absence, Billy still seems to find time to en- gage in basketball, base- ball and hockey. Not that it isn’t the most enjoyable thing to nass th time. Bill, but without those notes things can get upsetting. Everyone’s still trying to figure out how Bill Dalton happened to live on Dalton Court!! Well, this is Massachusetts, so . . .
