Ve's increasing interest in popular bands and music has won her the title Music Information Bureau. Ve's one of the happiest girls in the class—we've yet to see her when she isn't laughing. ELIZABETH MARGARET CHAMPION Betty Commercial Glee Club 4; History Club 4. Betty is a hard working and conscientious student, but can change her mood to fit any situation. We have one way of telling Betty from Marie—she's the blonde and Marie is the brunette. KATHERINE MARIE CHAMPION Champ General Debating Club 4; Glee Club 4; Descant Circulation Board 4; History Club 4. Champ isn't really the serious person she appears to be. She is extremely friendly and good-natured, and loads of fun. SUSAN BARBARA CHAPPELL College Choir 1, 2, 3, 4; General Science Club 1; French Club 3, 4; Latin Club 2, 3, 4; Glee Club 1, 2, 3; Mathematics Club 4; Departmental Honors 4. Those who have been in Bob's science class know she is right in deciding to be a science teacher. She is qualified because she has common sense and the ability to think intelligently. All who know her agree that she is a sincere and loyal friend. ROSEMARY FRANCES CHURCH Church General History Club 4; Drama Club 4; Glee Club 4; French Club 4. Vivacious Church is definitely our class coquette. Her carefree laughter and gay wit, plus her friendliness, have made her one of the most sought after girls of our class. Bob [19]

Ro ROSE DIAMON CAPOZZA Commercial French Club 2, 3; Spanish Club 2; Drama Club 4; Descant Circulation Board 3; Descant Typist 4; Volleyball 3; Field Day 3. Who ever heard of a girl so good-natured that she never even quarreled with her sister? Ro is the other half of that jolly Capozza duo, and is also a faithful Descant typist. PHILOMENA CARINO Phil General Debating Club 3; Biology Club 3; Departmental Honors 4. Phil'' proudly calls herself the bookworm of the class. She is an ardent lover of books, which she reviews for our Descant each month. Her quiet and unassuming manner has won for her many friends. SHEILA CASEY College Descant Circulation Board 3; Drama Club 3, 4; History Club 3, 4; French Club 4; Descant Reporter 4; Legenda Advertising Staff; Glee Club 4; Departmental Honors 4. Sheila came to us a few years ago from Arizona, but our Girl of the Golden West has become a stalwart Yankee. Sophistication, but not too much of it, makes Sheila popular both in and out of school. JOSEPHINE CASTAGNA Jo General Glee Club 4; French Club 4. Jo has managed to keep pretty much in the background during her four years at school. From what we see of her, we know that she is a courteous and sincere student. MARY CARROLL CAVANAGH Cay College Glee Club 1, 2; History Club 4; Drama Club 2; Legenda Biography Staff. Pert, freckled Cay is as lively as a grasshopper. She not only tells jokes, but is an appreciative listener, too! Her cheery ways will cure even the sickest patients when Cay becomes a nurse. [13]

We sincerely hope Betty will be able to achieve her ambition to join the Women in White. Her calm efficiency will fully qualify her for this profession. BETTY JANE CONNORS College Drama Club 1, 2, 3, 4; French Club 3, 4; Spanish Club 3, 4; Legenda Advertising Staff. Betty Jane is the Rosalind Russell of the class.
