18 THE TECH REVIEW 1980 MARY ELIZABETH FALLOWS I will now introduce Mary. She is one of the more stu- dious type although she never neglects socials and games. Mary is well liked by her classmates, and has served on some of our committees. She has made many friends among the teachers as well as the students.
