ollaaf an jafamenf The scene is a country fair. The time, june, 1951. Those present are seniors of the Ursuline school. On this day they have come with nostalgic sentiments in their hearts and looks of expectation in their eyes. How they crowd around the main booth as the wheel of fortune is spinning! It is a tri-colored wheel the hues of which are red, blue and green. As they watch the wheel spin, the color which captures their attention first 'is red. just as red is the most striking color of the spectrum, so are the girls who rank beneath its flag, for red is the symbol of energy, initiative, and leader- ship. Besides possessing those qualities, these girls have characteristics which endear them to us. The coiffures of Nina Iannotti and Barbara Brophy have attracted us all during high school, therefore, Nina leaves her comb and mirror and Barbara leaves her curling iron. Eileen McGrath generously leaves behind her supply of rings in hopes that they will continue to come so plentifully. Clayre Breslin leaves her chair by the radiators and hopes that someday the heat will accidently be turned on. Affable Gaynor Burris and Ann Martin be- queath all the Charleston records banned from the gym and the new improvised method of reading, respectively. Rita Dempsey, our class law enforcer, leaves the noon time bell by which she summons the smokers from the shower room, while Lise D'Atri leaves the mite ubottlef, Adelaide Ryan bequeaths her de- votion to the back bulletin board in hopes that she may never again see a stencil. Marie Quigley leaves her tattered record album, hoping it will soon be replaced. The next color that can be discerned in this whirl is blue. True blue, as are those girls beneath its flag outstanding for their loyalty and school spirit. Peggy Crosson, who has worked hard on the yearbook, leaves all her used up Hash bulbs. janet Kirby leaves her new book entitled Memoires of the Dartmouth Winter Carnival, which has not yet been accepted by the Ursuline School Library. Peggy Harrold gladly leaves her futile attempts in mastering the French accent. Jeanne Kaestner leaves the music to Belle Bottom Trousers, which Virginia Gannon, who leaves the untuned piano in B-15, had no trouble in mastering. Melita Flynn leaves her unfinished plans for a jet propelled car for the future use of students who have the same trouble getting to school on time. Betty Anne Necas, whose incomparable volleyball scores meant so much leaves her book on how not to play Volleyball! Slightly on the sleepy side 42

Fin! row-Kami, O'Neill, Murphy Second row-Fitzgerald, Quigley, Cronin og vary ounci The Library Council is one of the focal points of our school activities. lt is an honor to be a member of this organization as there can be only twenty-five councilers in the entire school. It is the duty of the councilers to help the Librarian. To do this they shelve books, file articles and pamphlets, check out books and many other miscellaneous duties. In order to be ad- mitted to the Library Council, one must go through a period of probation during which time the skills and duties required of a counciler are learned. lf, at the end of these eight or nine months probation one has proved herself worthy, she is ad- mitted to the Library Council. 41
