Council 2; Nominating Committee 4; Soft Ball 2, Volley Ball 2; Field Ball 2; History Club 4. I She who says little, thinks a lot. Bette” was welcomed into our school family junior year. She came from West Boyleston. Massachusetts. We admire her for her ardent interest in Youth Activities, and for her ambition —to become a youth counselor. She is interested in photography also, and helped take candids for the Legenda. They that govern the most make the least noise.'' Bruhnsey' our capable class president, is everyone's friend and confidant. Her beaming personality and sense of earthliness will carry her through the toughest of problems, we feel sure. As graceful as a myth. Lorna's dancing is a constant delight-to all who are fortunate enough to see it. Her dancing has given her a grace of form which many envy. She hopes to travel, write a book, and then settle in the country. The secret of success is constancy of purpose. If we ever want a delicious meal we will know to whom to look, for Shorty's main interest is cooking. She plans to be a hospital dietitian. A generous friendship no cold medium knows. Pretty brown hair, blue eyes, and a friendly smile are Caddie's distinguishing features. When the ice freezes we shall know where to look for her! Her neatness will certainly help her to become a good nurse. IS

Known for her extensive vocabulary and throaty laugh, Mary was a welcome addition to our class when she blew in junior year.

IRENE VICTORIA BERNTSEN College History Club 1; Spanish Club 2, 3, 4; Cabinet Representative 1; Senior History Club President 4; Departmental Honors 1. 2. 3. 4; Legenda Assistant 4. Lovely to look at, delightful to know. Irene's laughing blue eyes and pleasing smile make her a friend to all. We envy her nice figure and easy grace. In our opinion she has the makings of an ideal model. Why not, Irene? BEVERLY BIDWELL Bev College Jagat Club 1; French Club 3. 4; Orchestra I; Softball 2; Volley Ball 2; Basket-bail 3. Field Ball 1: Legenda Assistant 4; Vigilance 3. 4. As happy as the day is long. Bev is reserved and quiet, but her merry eyes belie her quietness. She is a grand friend and is very popular. Her friendly spirit of oope'ation will certainly help her become a great success. DORIS ELIZABETH BILTCLIFFE Red Commercial Then I saw her hair was bright. Doris is the vivacious senior with the beautiful red hair. She loves to have a good time yet manages to get her studies done promptly. She plans to open a beauty shop.

IRENE MARIA CARLSON College Nominating Committee 1; B. Y. C. Council 1. 2; Cheerleader 2, 3, 4; Class Play 3; Legenda Assistant 4; Science Club 1. LEATRICE CASTAGNA Le Commercial French Club 3. EDNA LOU CASWELL Lou Commercial Choir 2, 3. 4; Glee Club 1, 2; Orches-tr i 1, 2. 3. President 4. MARY LOUISE CLARE Mary Lou College Orchestra 1, 2; French Club 4; Depart-mental Honors 1. 3. LOUISE COCKELL Commercial Glee Club 1. 2; Choir 2. 3. 4; French Club 3. 4. Her hair is as golden as her heart. Petite, blond, Irene is one of the sweetest looking members of our class. Known for her neatness and well-selected wardrobe, she is very popular. Her sunny, bright disposition will see her to success as a Navy Nurse. The essence of an artist. Le is our class artist. She wants to become a typist but we think it would be a shame to do so when so much talent would be going to waste. Why not become a commercial artist, Le ? Music is well said to be the speech of angels. Lou is musically inclined. She has a beautiful soprano voice, and plays the violin. She wants to become a concert singer or play the violin in a symphony orchestra. Preferring to go her quiet way. Mary Lou has spent three years with us. Her quiet good nature will carry her through college successfully, and on to a life of service. Music is my rampart. Chapel wouldn't be the same without Louise at the piano. We all know and deeply appreciate her willingness and ability. Although she is a fine pianist, her ambition is to be a bookkeeper. 16
