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 . . .

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?

Janies B. Davis Watch out girls, here comes Jim Davis. He’s a great kid with a wonder- ful sense of humor and all he says is “My mama won’t let me.” She’s let you run for track though didn’t she? (That’s why girls haven’t caught up with him yet.) See you on the track Jim! ! Track 1 , 2, 3, 4 Bowling League 4 Paul E. DeCourcy Who would guess that we have the making of a future mechanic in Paul? In spite of his retiring na- ture, Paul is always quick to make friends and mix in with “the gang.” Ann M.

DeNofrio “A good name is rather to be chosen than great rich- es.” There are few people who have a personality as Mike’s. Very outgoing, he gets along well with every- one and always has some- thing worthwhile to say. Sandra M. Devaney “What is beautiful is good, and who is good will soon be beautiful.” Truly a model student, Sandy is the type of per- son who can do no wrong. One can always find Sandy with a group of kids laugh- ing it up and having a good time. An honor roll student who excels in all her studies, Sandy exem- plifies the best in the class of ’65.

Dixon Always on the go wheth- er in the bakery or driv- ing a truck, this lively character can usually be found, after hours, where the fun is. Ray may not be the tallest boys in the class but he packs one of the biggest wallops. D.E.C.A. Club 3, 4 Laura L. Doringer We’re now firm believ- ers in that old adage, “Good things come in small packages,” after meeting wee Laura Lee, the girl with the attractive person- ality, cheery smile and happy disposition, who can be seen running about the corridors stopping here and there to chat with her many friends.
