The memory of her flashing eyes, raven hair and sunny personality will endure long in the memories of her classmates. Betty, too, is a member of the Vistas,' staff, a reward for her persevering zeal in the field of study. Surely the loyalty, precision and neatness, so characteristic of her endeavors, Will constitute an asset in her career as a Lady of the Lamp. .- . wife 5' V H 5 ,, . t J, ,Ei 7 mix btw :ritz ..,, 21:12 ,,....., Heads lifted high, firm PATRICIA ANN KOCINSKI : Q Wzzzszpzziael 1221225 fra' sawn-MM 'zsfzzzifzzagw-A V ' ,.::- 4 iii? 32555 ,fv- fx W.

Pat hitched a ride on St. Nick's carryall, just in time to finish the trip, but even so, she Won all hearts the first Week. Her welcome hand, ever outstretched, aids the weaker members of the chemistry class, even to the sacrificing of a thumb for the cause, if need be. Keenly artistic, Patls help for the Christmas play was invalu- able. Not an actual member of the yearbook staff, she is, nevertheless, an untiring assistant to Irene Zehler, Art Editor. A love for the amusing gives Pat the unique ability of catapult- ing the class into spasms at off-moments. Her application is on the desk of the F.B.I. agent and if accepted, she'll revolutionize the system. i311

I' GERALDINE S. KUSTRA SAINT NICHOLAS While faith and hope beamed from her dark brown eyes, which wore the seal of youth. Watch out! Stand back and give her plenty of room. Hurrah! She did it! Gerry just won the polka contest! Besides dancing, Ger likes sports and the best in clothes. Gerry's soft brown cow-eyes, as the girls unpoetically call them, could wangle from them their most treas- ured possessions, or make them believe that the Niagara had run dry. We wonder how it will work out with her patients when she enters the nursing profession. Gerry's Guardian Angel is going to lead a rough life trying to keep her from convincing a dying person that it really doesn't hurt, you just think that it does.', . este a e -i--,T af- Catholic Action our cry, CLARA LORAINE LEISING SAINT JAMES Since I was a little child, My spirit has been swift and wildf' Bunnyls earnest, sincere efforts enabled her to win a scholarship to the Academy. She cer- tainly has lived up to standard by the mainte- nance of a high average throughout her aca- demic years, a feat rewarded by membership on the Vistas,' staff. Her vivid imagination and flare for witty remarks keeps the fun ball rolling within class precincts. Stories, compositions, essays and year book copy, always stamped with originality, have given Bunny an early start in her projected lifework - journalism. lf32l 91 W Nm? -it E - t VN , 5 2.1, is W 3 P' X 'VIP- v M s b w 9 gl b K I fn , YW K fist? r 2 5 1 ' 5 s - EE, U asf ,ggi it X 1155323 AS .. , 42 2
