Olivcne, a pert brunette, furnished us with the last requisite. A friend to all, she served as president of the Sophomore Class, which re- ceived excellent guidance from her. After graduating from the high school division of St. Mary ' s, Olivene would like to be a photographer ' s model and attend college at the same time. Good luck, we know you ' ll make it. -|S©M(33H- GERTRUDE HORSMON, Vice-President Bert Hockey, basketball, baseball, volleyball, That ' s our Sophomore athlete, She ' s tops in all!

And who could it be? Why, of course, it ' s Bert Horsmon! Being captain of all the seasonal sports, Bert has really earned her position by her great athletic ability. Her talents, however, do not cease with athletics. Her humor was brought forth in the Christmas play she helped compose; it was enjoyed by all. Her current college plans center around the Seminary, and S.M.S. will be looking forward to seeing her next year. 26.

Ginger says in the evenings when she has little or nothing to do, she experiments with dendrites, axons, and neurons and is now well on the road to making mechanical nervous systems which can either work in parts or as a whole! She claims it will be very valuable when it is allowed to go on the market to be sold. Just think! If you ' re told you don ' t have enough life (or nerves) in you, just buy some and take it 3 times a day in a glas full of H 2 with a little extra hydrogen in it! With bundles of papers under Nupie Baumann ' s arm, she crosses the threshold of Ocean City ' s Senior abode. Yes, Siree! She ' s a busy congresswoman now. (Inci- dentally, there are rumors I hear of her running as pres- ident in the next election, but don ' t mention it!) She. unlike Anne and Francie, has not made up her mind as to whether she will take to domestic life or not. As another extra curricular activity, Nupie is teaching Lord Byron Literature. She has been trying to encourage all of us to come and join the class but odd as it may seem there is a general reply of, I remember when I was at school in ' 49 and as we have it here I ' d rather not join your class in that fashion! But that ' s all right, Nupie, the race of life becomes a hopeless flight to those that ilk darkn Down on the banks of the blue St. Mary ' s! Oh, golly! That must be Rachel Early. It is! I ' ve just heard Ginger ask her what she ' s doing with that immense book bag. Why, says Rachel, it ' s full of Erlinmeyer and Fl orence flasks, test tubes, thistle tubes, a bunsen burner, deflagrating spoons, blue and pink litmus paper, and oh, yes! evaporating dishes and a mortar and pestle to cook all our meals in for our stay here! And, I would like to tell you all, Ernie and I have worked out and simplified to high school level Einstein ' s theory of Rela- tivity! She, too, has an extra curricular activity; that is, on the side she cleans slides and films for movie houses, types term papers for the students in Baltimore City, and supervises the production of all Shmoos sold on the market since she is very attached to them! Tomi and Rachel are still almost inseparable. Yes, that ' s right, and to prove it, here comes Tomi Thomas with Navy medals and ribbons from head to toe! We all can tell that Gordon must be doing wonderfully in his career. Tomi, what is that shining gold pin with 493 2 engraved on it? Oh, that ' s wonderful, and I ' ll bet it wasn ' t easy to Christianize all those people! Tomi is a social worker. Just as President Wilson had his famous 14 Points, so Tomi has established her famous 1 3 Points, using each Senior as an example for the rest of the world showing them, through us, the right way to live with one ' s neighbor harmoniously. And now, in the distance is heard, Now, boys, all of you! Give me that football at once! You ' re to behave yourselves sitting here on the front steps until I call you! Golly, says Nupi to our sweet eensy-weensy Trish Hayward, you did have that football team, after all! And how ' s Greasy Jack Murphy ? I hear your boys are all going to J. H. U. to study French! By the way did you know Trish is the one person in the entire universe who can type 250 2 words a minute? Now, that ' s a record, I want to tell you! Why somebody ' s crawling up the walk on her hands and knees! Bless her heart! It ' s Betty Anne Smith Ray- field! Now, that ' s class spirit for you! She was in her trusty canoe paddling all the way to Panama to see her Ray but when she found (by way of an albatross) that her Senior Class was having a reunion she paddled manually all the way back again! She ' s so happy with Ray and just loves Navy life. By golly, she ' s another one that has made a world record! Betty Anne can knit or pearl 100 stitches in 223 4 seconds. We are so proud of you! How many blankets did you say you knitted per day? Did you all get that number? FOUR? And I for- got to mention two honorary guests at our reunion, Norma Lee Mason Tull and her husband, Jim a (double feature showi ng love and happiness at its utmost!) Well, everybody ' s here and we can really begin talk- ing over old times. But then Emily, our little champ, exclaims, Is it a hurricane coming up? Is it a bird? Is it an airplane? Or is it — just as I thought, here comes Beth Early! Late as usual! Yes, and she ' s still pon- dering between New York and Delaware (one side ' s definitely weakening though!) And do you know she didn ' t either take or have time to take her shining white nurse ' s uniform off before she left to come! So you see, though we had to look at books and though we didn ' t all have the looks, we ' re still the Senior Class of 1949 that shines and shines. ,25,
