ANN MARIE DEMERS Nothing is more simple than greatness, indeed to be simple is to be great. We’ll always remember Ann for the enthusiasm she displayed in all our class activities. She sang with the Girls’ Glee Club for three years, and was a member of the History, Art, and Home Economics Clubs. Ann was a bank day cashier for two years, was on the decorating committee for our Junior Prom, ushered for Graduation her junior year, and also played basketball her freshman year. Certainly we will never forget Ann’s willingness to assist in class activities when¬ ever she could. NANCY DEMERS Lucy” Kindness in another’s trouble; courage in our own.” Quiet and friendly, Nancy was liked by everyone. She belonged to the basketball team where her athletic talents were exhibited. Nancy also was a member of the Home Economics, Art, and Community Service Clubs. Nancy’s willingness to aid in class activities has certainly made her a classmate to be long remembered. CARMINE ANTHONY DEPRETE Carm” Humor is the harmony of the heart.” One of our varsity eleven, Carm” displayed the speed of a deer in many a gridiron clash. His swiftness also earned for him a position on the varsity track team of which he was a member for four years. Being an all-around athlete Carm” won a berth on the varsity baseball team for four years. We can never forget Carm,” for what he lacked in size he certainly made up for in ability. LEONARD JOHN DOTON Lenny” Not what you do, but how you do it, is a test of your capacity. Well-liked and active during his four years at the Turners Falls High School, Lenny offered his athletic talents to track and baseball for one year, and football and basketball for two years, and thus he was eligible for membership in the T” Club. Lenny also participated in the activities of the Art, History, and Glee Clubs. His interest in dramatics was shown by his effective per¬ formance of Ted” in the Christmas play, Our Miss Brooks and the Christmas Carol!” It was truly a wise choice when he was selected chairman of ushers at the Junior Prom, for without Lenny our class just wouldn’t have been complete. 21

EILEEN ANN CROWLEY As merry as the day is long.” Not on any of the other one hundred and eleven faces in our class was there a broader, more infectious smile than was seen on Eileen’s. With the clear golden ring of a thoroughly good- natured laugh, Eileen devoted many hours to Netop.” She played an important position for two years in the band, and just being there with an attentive ear and the eager eyes of friendship, endeared herself to seniors and underclassmen alike. She will always be here, not so much in our memories as in our hearts, and that irresistible smile will be a vital connecting link between our¬ selves and the memory of our high school years. This will always be Eileen, youthful, eager, student and friend.
