A. 1, 2, 3, 4 Outwardly quiet, Crie possesses a rare combination - com- posure and feminine charm. Although she is unfailingly loyal, she is seldom heard.

Then again, her musical talent has been displayed as she played her clarinet in the school orchestra. Pauline plans to work after graduation but precisely where and when is still a matter of speculation! Her in- terest in music should lead her to a career of bright lights and bril- liant ovation. 111-

MARY PATRICIA COFFEY Pat Plainfield Arts and Crafts Club 1 Homeroom Secretary 1 Student Council 4 A. A. 1, 2, 4 Hermiad 4 Class Gifts 4 Pat is extra tiny but as the old saying goes, Good things come in small packages. In this case it is a package of intelligence and charm tied securely with friendliness. No Wonder she is a favorite of all who know her! Pat's love of mischief keeps her eyes twinkling. It also keeps her friends anticipating the unexpected. Pat's intention to wear a nurse's cap when her course at the University of Connecti- cut is completed can reap nothing less than assured success. VVILLIAM EDWIN CONGDON Bill Moosup Baseball 1 Track 3, 4 Class Treasurer 3 Varsity Club 4 Class Vice-president 4 Junior Marshal 3 A. A. Treasurer 4 To describe Bill, one could simply say he was ideal , He is a gentleman, a scholar, and a pal, all rolled into one. With his natural aptitude for mathematics, Bill is the perfect candidate for treasurer of any organization. This post he has fulfilled as treasurer of the Athletic Association. His many activities have kept him busy but not too busy to make friends that will stick by him through thick and thin . Bill is handsome and no doubt, as he reads this, he will blush and quickly turn the page. HOWARD WALTON CURRY i'Maestro Moosup Glee Club 2, 3 Stamp Club 2 Arts and Crafts 1 Orchestra 3 A. A. 2, 3 Chess Club 4 Senior Play 4 Maestro is a very fitting nickname for this musical genius. His talent as a pianist was displayed frequently as Glee Club accompanist and as a member of the Melody Makers . Next fall, on the wing of a song, Maestro will journey to South Carolina to major in music at Bob Jones University. Perhaps someday we shall hear that our music master has become Oscar Levant's serious rival and if so, you may be sure we'll be rooting for Maestro . -13-
