DOROTHY MAE CLARKE Dot General We can't exactly picture it, but Dottie's great ambition is to be an extra good cook. Give us proof, Dot and we'll be there, standing in line. DOROTHY GENEVIEVE CLAYTON Dotty Commercial Class President 1; Glee Club 2; Basketball 2; Potpourri 1; History Club 4; Drama Club 4; Descant Reporter 4; Legenda Circulation Staff; Senior Banquet Committee. Dotty is short, light, and pretty, with a wonderful disposition. Some lucky man will soon have Dotty as a competent secretary. MARYKATE COFFEY Tag College Band 1, 2, 3, 4; Orchestra 1, 2, 3, 4; Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Choir 1, 2, 3, 4. From the looks of things, Tag is prominent in musical circles. We all envy Tag's perfect teeth. What brand of toothpaste do you use, Tag ? ELIZABETH ANN CONNOLLY Betty Commercial French Club 2; Drama Club 1, 2; Glee Club 4; History Club 4; Descant Typist 4. 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. Her amusing portrayals in our class plays have been applauded by the whole school. Like the famous Rosalind, she's not only attractive, but clever, too. [20]

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.

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]

Ann's good sportsmanship, and infectious laugh make her a popular senior. [21]
