BETH 0'BRIEN The sun never set on the average day of Bren- dan's busiest senior-Beth O'Brien. When asked what time she got to bed the night before, she would inevitably reply, Oh, about two or threef' By taking a look at the list of her activities you can easily see the reason. Nothing seemed to mar her cheerful disposition. Whether she was flying up the stairs or zipping through the halls, she always had time for everyone. Her keen interest in her classmates coupled with a wonderful sense of humor account for her popu- larity. Beth's sparkling brown eyes and warm smile lit up when she greeted you with the characteristic, Well, Lorna Doone, or E,gad.'7 . V. 4 Rdllf . fi ov. ff y Q 69 S. S. L. Q I ,EO 1 ff-rr ,Qi is wi, .

Not to be classed with those A true friend is a friend indeedi' stereo-types, Marie was a girl you liked to know. Marie was St. Brendan's Mr. Anthony. No matter who needed aid or when she needed it, Marie was always there to extend her helping hand. Perhaps Theobald was not thinking of Marie when he said, None but herself can be her parallel. But had he known Marie, he would have been. Sweet girl graduate? Orchids to Marie Cross.

It All Began When . . . . . . we were eager, little Freshmen lfive classes strongj with sandwich wrappers enough to fill the new refuse shoot after one noon hour. Sister' Mary David tlooking forward to her first year at St. Brendan'sj first met us when Jessie led the Conga line across the geography of the intri- cate fourth floor. Then came the Freshmen Dance-armed with baby dolls and stocking caps, we howled as Anita Taormina told us some kind gentleman offered her and her 'fbaby a seat in the bus. With Mary Oliva, Mary Driscoll, Betty Delaney and Cen Tortorello taking the reigns among the Freshmen presidents we settled down to comparative sanity and got into the swing of St. Brendan tradition. Angie Aiello in the g'Welcome Homew assembly was another side-splitting light spot. Then, en masse, the whole crowd of us surged over to Regis to view A Midsummer Nightls Dream? Along with the new cafeteria, Ellen Donoghue and her lunch-room quartet helped brighten the too short lunch period. Their favorite rendition was uOnward Christian Soldiersi' for some reason or other. lngenious, as we were, we named the English class elephant-Sam. And then it was summer time already. September, 1945, and with it came Geometry and major Art. Try as we would to hide them, Miss McGlue always found the tacks we hid on the radiator. Fame called and Dotty Carpenter, Marie Wilson, Rosemarie Rotondi, Grace Celenza, Pat Azzoli, Anne Dunphy, Barbara Cole, Peggy Doheny made the Clee Club. The new bell practically pealed when Peg Chandler, Joan Murtha, Beth O'Brien, Peg O,Brien, Ellen Donoghue, Pat Keogh and Jeanette Horky augmented the Varsity. Agnes Sims and Mar Judge took up fiddling in the orchestra. Also active were the literary lights and Peggy Casey, Ann Dougherty, Ro Rotondi, Connie Peet, Alice McGuinness, Beth O'Brien and Pat Azzoli completed the Stella Staff. Of course, we canit forget the C.A. Unit and the Christmas visits to the hospitals and particularly the time Amelia Giammarino brought the pipes and tooth paste to the kids by mistake, while the paper dolls and toy drums went to the Old Men's home. Along came little Audrey Powers to step up with the colleens for the Irish Assembly. Betty Colquhoun, Alice McCuinness, Doris Harvey and Kay Murray became uthev Cheer Leaders of the team. The inimitable Bessie and Tessie spark-plugged the Dancing Club along with Jo-Ann Lombardi. At the same time, Eileen Mahr was testing Coldfinkis motzahs on the fourth floor. Miss Anderson gave up trying to get some life out of us, when Ann Dougherty, frisking about, broke her arm. But then summer was here again. September, 1946. At this point we picked our own subjects. While ,loan McLaughlin was busy writing ditties about commercial life, Ann Sferrazza and Mildred Andriola 'Ldood itv with high nineties on the aca- demic side. Some of us charged into the new Physics Lab for Atom's Alleyj as we preferred to call it, while others staggered out of the Chem Lab. 60 mguganarj of dGf6fd ff?
