HELEN ANNE CHABASINSKI “Dimples’ General Departmental Honors 4. We don’t know Helen very well as she hasn’t told us very much about herself.

JEANNE ELIZABETH CLARE College French Club 3, 4; Debating C'lub 3, 4; Latin Club 3, 4; Assembly Committee 4; Feature Staff Legenda; Departmental Honors 3, 4.

JOAN CAPOZZA Commercial Joan is another of our tall girls who, we believe, will make a good welder, as that is her aim. She comes to us from Waterford and that is probably why she doesn’t participate in any of our school activities. Nevertheless she is well known and liked by us all. MARGARKT CARE Margie College English Club 4; History Club 4; Departmental Honors 1, 3, 4. “Margie” says her ambition right now is to help sustain the morale of the Navy by corresponding with some of our boys. She is also collecting pictures of the Navy in action during this war. GERALDINE MARY CARLIN Gerry Commercial Treasurer of Freshman Class; Science Club 1; B.Y.C. Council 2; Senior Dance Committee 4; Field Ball 1; Departmental Honors 4. Vim, vigor, and vitality, plus red hair—that’s “Gerry.” Whenever there’s any “jitterbugging” to be done, you can be sure she’ll be there to do it. Many a time the dance floor has been cleared leaving “Gerry” and her escort to give a good show in the terpsi-chorean art. VIRGINIA A. CASTAGNA V Commercial Nominating Committee 1, 3; Vigilance Department 3. “V” is very energetic—always on the go. Whenever you look behind you, there she is. “V’s” pleasant “voice with a smile” is sure to help her succeed as a telephone operator. PHYLLIS M. CERRETO Commercial Vigilance Department 4; French Club 1, 2. Phyllis is seldom seen or heard from except as a member of the Vigilance Department. She expects to go into war work upon graduation. 22

GEORGIANNA JANE CROWE Georgie General Basketball 4; Mathematics Club 4; History 4. Introducing one-half of our unidentical twins, Georgianna Crowe!

SUZANNA AUDREY CROWE Sue College Volleyball 2; French Club 2, 3, 4; Legenda Biography Staff 3; Departmental Honors 4. “Sue” and “Georgie” came to W.M.I. from New York two and a half years ago and have been a welcome addition to the class.

MARY AGNES CUDDY College History Club 1; Latin Club 2, 3; Junior Tea Committee; French Club 2, 3, 4; Departmental Honors 2; Mathematics Club 4. Mary is planning to become a school-marm. A good student and dependable worker, she should make an excellent one. Perhaps we’ll send our children to your little red school house, Mary. DOROTHY MAE CUMMINGS Volleyball 2. College Too-Tuo” Dorothx is another girl who stays in the background most of the time. She, too, hopes to begin working for a nurse’s cap soon.
