She was looked up to by the freshmen. She had that grown up look and lived up to it. Tolly was going out into 'the adult world in a short :ime and consciously or not, she. was preparing her- self by working part time and taking on responsi- bility. She went steady with a dreamy fellow and dreamed of a dreamy Prom. She wondered what color gown to get, pink, white, maize? No matter which, it was Jeautiful and so was Tolly on that big night. Tolly worried about what she would do after grad- uation. She wrote away for catalogs, visited schools Jf all kinds, filled out applications, made big de- :isions. We wish her success in whatever she does. managed to dress it up quite a bit. She added a dif- ferent belt, turned up the collar of her blouse and pinned it with a cute scatter pin. Of course, the ox- fords did not add to her glamour but Tolly added plaid shoe-laces and changed the dumb shoes as soon as she reached the locker room. School work had her a little worried. Those four regents loomed on the horizon, but Tolly jumped into the fray and managed to defeat the four horse- men. Tolly's freckles were disappearing and her figure was improving. She was a real sophisticate! Boys, oh, excuse me, men did not bother her a bit. Search H50-Sl 'h1Zj a'l 0 W is C9 Lf vu x iw l V. al, 1 l A s .ff

I , FVCSLIMGU' I 9 'I 7' VY Freckle-faced and slightly heavy, Tolly arrived in Tolentine in 1947. Her uniform was brand new and Nd very shiny. Her feet were adorned with white socks and moccasins. Her hair was straight because she was CD not very skilled with the curlers. She was willing and eager and very wide-eyed. , 4 She attended all the games and joined clubs whose l meetings coincided. She studied and played with , painful earnestness. She gazed with awe at the upper classmen and could not wait to be a senior. She was very self- conscious and giggled when she saw a fellow any closer than twenty feet. ,Sophomore V748 49 Turf' W5 3 l - A ku ll. . l l In 1948 Tolly was an old hand at Tolentine. She acted big to the freshmen and could not believe that she had ever been like THAT. Tolly was definitely getting better looking. The old uniform did not fit as well. It was too short and way too wide. Her freckles were getting lighter and her hair, with the nightly aid of bobby pins, looked really smooth. Tolly's uniform pockets were usually stuffed but her capezios were oh! so sharp. Tolly was much more sophisticated. Rudolph's and Elsie's were seeing her more and more often. Boys no longer rattled her at twenty feet. They had to get within ten to upset this young lady.
