CONSTANCE MARIE CHENEY Connie College Personality is the road to success. Volley Ball 2, 3; Basketball 1, 3, 4; French Club 3, 4; Le-genda Advertising Staff 4; Field Day 3; History Club 4; Tennis 4. No wonder Connie has been an outstanding senior! She has the appearance, poise and personality to make her as much of a success everywhere as she has been at W.M.l. ROSE MARIE COLANDENE Collie Commercial Neat, not gaudy. French Club 3; Biology Club 2; Senior History Club 4. Wavy chestnut hair, framing pleasing features and augmented by a spontaneous, congenial grin characterize Collie , who is one of our most amiable schoolmates. An ardent football and basketball fan, we hope Collie's enthusiastic cheering will continue to make the rafters ring long after her departure from our Alma Mater. BARBARA JANE CONNOR Petey Business Her air, her manners, all who saw admired. Field Day 1, 2, 3; Debating Club 3; Vigilance Department 4; B.Y.C. Alternate 3; Class Treasurer 3; Field Ball 1, 2; Soccer 3, 4; History Club 4; Legenda Advertising Staff 4; Thanksgiving Dance Committee 4; Chairman Washington Trip 4; Departmental Honors 4. Here comes Petey , pert and pretty. Super alliteration for a super girl with a smile as spontaneous as combustion. BARBARA JANE CRANKER Bob College Gentle ol speech, beneficent of mind. Biology Club 2; Advanced Biology Club 3, 4; Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Spanish Club 2, 3, 4; B.Y.C. Cabinet 1, 3, 4; B.Y.C. Council 2; Biology Club President 2; Secretary-Treasurer of B.Y.C. Cabinet 3; B.Y.C. Cabinet President 4; Drama Club 4; Descant Reporter 1. Bob has proved the old adage that to lead others one must first govern one's self. Her leadership, her poise, and her unselfishness have left a permanent impression on old W.M.l. KATHLEEN MARIE CRINE Kacey Commercial Good hearted and agreeable to all. Glee Club 2; French Club 1, 2; Descant Typist 4; Folk Festival 2; Legenda Typist 4. Kacey says she loves to dance, which shows how well you can do a thing when you really like doing it. Who knows, she may be another Ginger Rogers! 21

BETTY EILEEN CADY Babs Commercial I do but sing because 1 must, And pipe but as the linnets sing. French Club 3; Glee Club 3; Descant Art Staff 2; Bulkeley Cheerleader 4; Descant Circulation Board 4; Descant Dance Committee 4. Babs is seldom late to school. You see she has so much to tell, so many friends to tell it to, that the school day is filled with accounts of exciting dates and games attended. DIANA S. CASTAGNA D General Mistress of her art. D is a tiny but very lively girl. It was she who was responsible for the original and appropriate decorations at this year's Thanksgiving Dance. We add her to our list of budding artists. ROSALIE JOAN CAVOLI Lee College Dancing eyes and dancing leet. Science Club 1; Soccer 3; Softball 3; Advanced Biology Club 4; Mathematics Club 4; French Club 3, 4. If Glenn Miller could play for Lee twenty-four hours a day, we do believe she would get along without sleep entirely. Through her terpsichorean ability she may yet make her fortune. ANNE HINSLEY CHANDLER College All in good time. Science Club 1; Drama Club 1, 2; Biology Club 2; Mathematics Club 2, 4; Latin Club 2; Descant Circulation Board 1, 2, 3; Class Ring Committee 3; French Club 3, 4; French Club Program Chairman 3; Legenda Biography Editor 4; Departmental Honors 1, 2, 3, 4; Folk Festival 2; Thanksgiving Dance Committee 4. We who have worked with Anne on the Legenda appreciate her quick wit; her wide range of interests; and her untiring willingness. We trust she will not bury herself permanently behind the test tubes as she takes her place as a research chemist. ELEANOR JUNE CHAPPELL El Commercial It is a friendly heart that has plenty of friends. Glee Club 1, 2; French Club 1, 2; Descant Typist 4; Debating Club 4. A pretty smile and perfect manners characterize El , who is one of our most sedate seniors. Her fondness for classical music and also for dancing shows her to be a person of many interests. 20

NOLA JEAN DANZ College She was wont to speak plain and to the purpose. Departmental Honors 4. Nola is well known for, and proud of, her ability to be frank. No beating around the bush with her! If there's something to be said—she says it! We consider this a worthy attribute in anyone. ANNA FRANCES DARLING Ann Commercial So very quiet as if she were not here. Demure and quiet, Ann has a sweet personality. Although she is one of the silent partners of our senior class, we all feel that she is rooting for us just as we are for her. EMILY MARY DAVID College Impossible is a word I never pronounce. History Club 4; French Club 3, 4; Vigilance Department 2; B.Y.C. Council Representative 4. Emily is indeed a perfect example of a member of the profession she hopes to pursue. Intelligent, conscientious, accurate, neat, and well-poised—what other good qualities does she need to become an efficient nurse? GRACE MARY DAVIDSON Toots Commercial I believe in being alive, alert and energetic. Cheerleader 1; Basketball 1, 2, 4; French Club 3; Band 3, 4; Orchestra 3, 4; Descant Circulation Board 2; Glee Club 2; Senior History Club 4; Soccer 4; Band Stage Manager 4; Departmental Honors 4. A friendly handshake or hearty slap on the back from Toots indicates her jovial personality. Whether dancing or on the basketball court, her cheerful good will makes her a universal favorite. SHIRLEY ELAINE DAVIDSON Shirl Commercial Cheerful and jolly, and ever a loyal friend. Science Club 1, 2; Spanish Club 2, 3; Drama Club 2, 3, 4; Debating Club 3, 4; Mathematics Club 4; Stage Crew 2, 3, 4; Descant Circulation Board 1, 2. Shirl is as sweet and quiet as a senior could be, and a most conscientious worker. Outside of school it's riding that holds her interest. Lots of fun and good exercise, isn't it, Shirley? 22
