"Dynamiter's- T. N. Ters- we've got stuff in us that makes the world go round!" As the Bell girls take their after supper "ciggey-butt" in one of the liveliest and most friendly smokers on campus, we find each Bell girl (at the most opportune time) acting in someway which helps us to characterize her as she is-a wellrounded personality. Barb Black, our honorable President, is undoubtedly remarking in the most sincere and expressive manner, "Wait for me!" A decided bang on the piano denoting the fini of Nancy J's recital reflects an attitude of contempt- unmistakably it's the sudden dawn of her trial-baiance error. Judy 0. sits with book in hand, an exceptionally fast reader, discussing an important measure with Myke W. Myke, however, is more interested in the latest play reviews. A telephone breaks the mood -is it for Sue B. or Pat G?? Neither. A call from U. of Mass. for Jo T. If it isn't a sigh for Jack, it's "Pizza anyone?" from Marion M. Nancy B. does the Charleston while Kathy S. practices her "blacking out" exercises. As Ricky K., Polly R. and Elaine T. plan for their trip to Europe, Lee C. thinks of schussing down another mountain. Dimp McC says "Well, my Johnny says ..." and Rikki G. gallops to the smoker as if she is being chased by Topper. Jo Y. sits quietly (Skip); Ellen B. dreams with a more distant look in her eyes (Japan maybe? ). Diana M. interrupts with "Oh, I was going to ask you about that!" Bette B., straight from 5th Avenue, snaps her gum a Ia Brooklyn ... and here come Bell's pride and joy- Miss Farren and Mrs. Williams. (Are you in cahoots?) But, of course! Bell House 1952- wonderful house, wonderful pals, wonderful housemothers!

Shall we listen in at the day smoker and the day room to hear the latest?? "Come on Ann, play 'Chopin's Fantesy' " ... "Let's all participate, now kids" .. . "Hello, glad to see you, how've you been" . . . "Who are you knitting for" .. . "I've just got to start studying" . . . The day students always seem to be busystudying, sleeping, knitting, playing cards, singing, or talking about their men ... What are "Babe" and Kay Olsen up to now ... Jo, Ann, Barb, Jeannette, Tina and June will have to join them and keep us in laughter . . . Oh, that's our "Smoker Trio" ... The flash of lightning was our president Nancy Douglas busy as usual keeping us all straight and getting more participation . . . That girl in the welldecorated cast is Norma . . . she wants to remind us of her skiing ability ... we call her "hoppy" . . . We miss "Mike" and her smiling face : . . Mrs. Lins is in Germany ... We surely wish the best of everything to Marla and Mrs. Burnell, "Ginny" to us, in their future plans ... We must leave the day students now ... we know the companionship, fun and laughter they have shared during the year will be a great addition in the book of memories of life at W. J. C .

"There's no hall like Goddard HaiL" That's what we sang at the annual skit night in October. We won third prize for our review, by now thoroughly established freshman residents. We're proud of our girls, who possess many diversified talents. Shirley Cary, our president is also known about the campus for her singing and acting; and Sue Sarra- who could forget the showing she's made in every sport Westbrook offers? We missed the retailers, Maxine Christenson, Marilyn Berry, "Connie" Hatheway, Janet Achorn, Lillian Curtis, Ruth Berry and Sue "Correspondence Course" Evans, when they worked those three weeks at counters of some of the known stores throughout the East. Bowdoin is near and dear to the hearts of Joanne Fritz, "Ginny" Pillsbury, Beverly Hibbert etc. etc. Most of all, we want to thank Miss Johnson and Miss Putnam for their patience and understanding and for those surprise birthday parties, too.

Never a dull moment with the Melvillites! Looks like they forgot to blind the window with the little red curtains again ... shall we??? No, we better not look in ... but they certainly look like a happy bunch of girls. I'm sure we are welÂˇcomed for a visit in their cozy smoker covered with umpteen pennants- Brown, Maine Maritime Academy, Harvard, Bowdoin, Army, Navy, Yale, Rennselear, etc. Let's go in and ask them about their year at Melville together! Baker singing "After You've Gone" in that sexy voice accompanying herself on the piano ... The never-ending line of "bills" for B. May ... Mac always taking off for Harvard ... the laughs at Connie Perry's shower ... Annie-O's remarks in marriage ... The Four Grapefruit Eaters- Kay Connors, Jane, Betsy, and Barb. D., and the special delivery letter from Byron . .. Swanee and her scrapbook of one issue of the WJC News ... Peg's insomnia and huge appetite ... Wasn.'t that a delightful visit? Those girls certainly have had a wonderful year of companionship. What memories they will have!

Laughter, fun, companionship have made this year something for the girls in the New Building to remember. Âˇ The jokes shared in the smoker, the parties given on the slightest provocation, the laughter ringing from the rooms and the whispering heard after "lights out" form memories not easily forgotten. The weekends up at Bowdoin, the telephone's shrill call, the few serious moments during house meetings have been enjoyed by all. Jo, our house president, liked by everyone and always ready for a good time ... GeeGee, our star athlete with her "this is the way a Frenchman does it" ... Barb, cute with a humor to match ... Nat, our cute blonde Med. Sec. -some doctor's going to be lucky ... Judy, quiet and always willing to help ... Mary, her Ron-son lighter in hand ... Berdine, the sparkle in her eyes matching the gleam of her diamond-lucky Skip ... Phyl, our journalist with her perpetual spring fever ... Mary, our red-headed Bowdoin rooter-slow to get started but once started hard to stop ... Rita, good natured kid who can solve everyone's problems but her own ... Pikey, a strictly original personality which can never be equaled ... Marcia, life can never be dull around her ... Harriet, always coming up with a new scheme-those smoker parties ... Betty, a good friendticklish through smoker parties ... Betty, a good friend-ticklish though, see! ... Lis, that wide smile says everything ... Anna with her loyalty to Ellsworth ... Elsie always conscientious ... These are the girls that made up the New Building along with two swell housemothers, Miss Dow and Miss Pike.

Sports are a very important part of life at W. J. C. At the Âˇ beginning of the year, a group of eight girls are organized to set up the W. A. A. board and emphasize athletic life on campus. The students are, divided into two groups, the gray and maroon. At the end of each sport season, an all-star group of girls are chosen by their leaders and compete against each other in volleyball, hockey, basketball, badminton, etc. Through these challenges, it helps promote the interest of the girls. The biggest event that W. A. A. board looks forward to each year is Winter Carnival. These girls have the job of selecting a carnival theme and organizing the entire weekend. Before carnival weekend, W. A. A. raises money so a successful weekend may be had. This year they planned an auction. The advisor of the group is Miss Kiel, physical Education instructor. The members of the board this year are President, Gloria Gendron; vice-president, Ann Lowell ; secretary, Joanne Greene; treasurer, Mary Ellen Flaherty; senior maroon leader, Jayne Goodwin; freshman maroon leader, Carol Upton; senior gray leader, Lee Cameron; freshman gray leader, Judy Lewis.

Jophers and boots are a common sight on the W. J. C. campus, especially on Saturday mornings, when the Riding Club members and friends prepare to leave for Tomlinson's Riding Stables. Mom and Pop Tomlinson invaluable to the girls who practice bridling, saddling and horsemanship. October brings the annual breakfast ride, followed in December, with a merry Christmas party. During the Winter Carnival, activities are many at the stables. Prizes are awarded to the riders in all the classes who prove themselves worthy. The annual provides a good opportunity to hang up a few ribbons or put a gold trophy on a shelf.

A great loss to W. J. C. basketball team this year will be Captain Gloria Gendron who has led the varsity squad to many a victory. Under the leadership of coach Camille Kiel, the squad had a very successful season and excellen t spirit. The various teams we were scheduled to meet this year were Deering High School, Sou th Portland High School, Old Orchard High School, University of New Hampshire, Kents Hill, and Nasson College. Because of the "snowbound" conditions, the last two teams were not challenged. The only two senior girls on varsity basketball were Captain Gloria Gendron, and Nancy Connors, who proved to be an excellent guard. Other members of the team were: high scorer, Suzzane Sara, Caroline Richards, Eleanor Eames, Mary Ellen Flaherty, and Shirley Litchfield. The JV's also had a chance to prove their ability by filling in for the absent varsity members during games. Three JV games were played during the year. The members of the second squad were: Nancy Douglas, Sally Haskins, Jayne Goodwin, Ingrid Wallis, Ann Constantine, Beverly Hibbert, Lillian Curtis, Ann Lowell, and Judy Lewis.

SKIING AT THE FAR M Back row, left to right: Janice Cutting, Marion Masse, Sue Burns, Carol Upton. First row: Sue Sarra, Joanne Minott, Georgia Stanley, Irma H ersh .

There are many ski enthusiasts at W. J. C. The weekend trips to the farm in the winter also take in skiing at Pleasant Mountain. H ere the girls may ski as beginners, intermediates, or "pro's", because there is a choice of three tows. Skiing is one of the most popular sports at school and snow conditions are usually in favor of ski weekends. The ski team this year showed great improvement and won the down hill race at Kents Hill, when Jan Cutting came in first.

Here's an interesting piece taken from a newspaper in 1834, three years after the school was founded .. . it says: "the terms of tuition were fixed at $3 for common English studies, and $4.50 for the Languages and higher branches of the Mathematics ... Rev. Samuel Brimblecom, A. M., was elected Principal ... "In an "N. B." at the bottom it says: "June 9th has been fixed on for the opening of the school. Males and females will be admitted to equal privileges .. . "

The Science Club, one of the largest groups on campus, has the purpose of better acquainting its members with the medical profession. Therefore, many interesting lectures by doctors and other medical associates and scientific movies were sponsored by this years' club. The two major activities of the Science Club wen~ the annual field trip to the Harvard Museum in Boston and the Science Fair in which exhibits were displayed by the students in the science classes. President of this years' Science Club was Pat Markowich. She worked with the other officers and the executive committee.

A February trip to Boston for a fabulous fashion show, was one of the events of the Retailing Club. Under the able leadership of Barbara Beck, the club sponsored its annual R etailer's Rag dance held the last of April. All participants in the course have a six-week working period between Thanksgiving and Christmas recess. Through these positions, the girls learn many aspects of buying, selling and decorating. Again in March, another style show is held in Portland. Both retailers and students alike attend.

Student Christian Association is one of the few organizations that enables you an hour each week in Hersey Drawing Room to become friends with people of the many religious denominations represented here at school. Its main goal has been to inspire you into closer relationship with the faculty and also to inspire a deeper understanding of the beauty in life. This organization this year sponsored the weekly chapel services, panel discussions with other colleges, fellowship hours, Sunday candlelight and vesper services, a Christmas Candlelight Service and a valentine social. The officers this year were: President Ellen Bell; Vice-President, Joanne Young; Secretary, Catherine Spry.

Debates and frequent bull sessionsÂˇ kept the International Relations Club lively this year. The topic "Universal Military Training" was debated with Fort Williams. An American version of Paris' famous Beaux Arts Ball was held in the gym. To give its members an understanding of, and thereby give them a greater interest in, international affairs was the objective which Susan Burns, president of the club and the members, kept in mind.

Our Student Council, which is organized as a means of student government, affected many changes this year which we hope will make WJC an even better junior college. The Council is made up of three day and five resident students and this body worked in conjunction with the senate which consisted of one representative from each house. This year house presidents were also included in the Council. The Council met on the first Monday of each month to discuss and vote on the suggestions made by the students. The senate, meeting on the third Monday similarly voted on these proposals. Under the sponsorship of the Councils of WJC and PJC there is sponsored an informal dance. The annual Awards Day, honoring outstanding students, is also made possible by the Council. Joyce Wilson and Nancy Elder, this years president and secretary should be praised for their earnest efforts which together with our Council and senate have made our WJC even more perfect for future students.

If you see a journalism student dashing around campus madly waving copy, it's a safe bet she's trying to get her assignment in by the deadline.

October 2, 1952 Dear Diary-We held our first Masque and Candle meeting tonight. Quite a few joined, too. I was so glad they realized that they don't have to be a "Cornell" or "Bell Geddes" to join. Because those who are not inclined toward the Thespian art can do make-up, sound effects, stage work, curtains, lights, and many other jobs. We also elected officers this evening. The results- President, Kathryn Tsomides; Vice-President, Mary County; Executive Secretary, Barbara Dolliff; Recording Secretary, Barbara Gulian; and Treasurer, Catherine Connors. November 16, 1952 Dear Diary-Oh, Diary, our annual dance, entitled "Autumn Oscar", was a big success. We planned a Charleston Contest, and Nancy Baker and her partner were awarded the "Oscar". They, ia turn, started the "Whistle Dance", and consequently, everyone was dancing. December 18, 1952 Dear Diary- We presented "A King Shall Reign" for our Christmas Pageant. All of us-actors and stage crew-were quite excited, as this was the Masque and Candle's first presentation of the year. February 22~ 1952 Dear Diary- We assisted the W.A.A. with the winter carnival. The torchbearers consisted of Masque and Candle enthusiasts. April 16 and 17, 1952 D ear Diary- Time came for our three-act play- "Ask For Me Tomorrow"the club's proud production of the year. The cast- "Myke" Westaway, "Laura" Wedlock, Shirley Cary, Connie Joy, "Inky" Wallace, Nancy Jagger, and "Kay" Tsomides. What fun and confusion at play rehearsals! P. S. And that's not all, Diary, that the Masque and Candle did. In May, we presented one-act competition plays that were student directed. And on May Day . . . the pageant and the M ay Pole Dance !

The present officers of this club are: President, Judith Westaway; VicePresident, Joanne Green; Secretary, Joan Tubman; and Treasurer, Betsy Webber. During such weekends, faculty chaperons have accompanied the students on ski trips to Cranmore Mountain, and hikes up Pleasant Mountain. The farm which was purchased two years ago, extends the privilege to Outing Club members of getting away from books and school for a weekend of good outdoor sports.

Nancy Raker for her prizewinning short story . . .

The comic book was the same as the rest of them, so he dropped it on the floor and propped himself on his elbows and gazed out onto the dirty, barren street of the slum district. At the age of twelve, Toby could find nothing interesting and exciting left in any comic book any more. The murder and detective stories were all the same and he read all that the gang had, anyway. The street that he was looking ou t onto ran between dirty tenement buildings that offered no excitement for Toby anymore. He wanted to see the real thrills that he had been reading about. The only happenings around here were just an occasional robbery, hold-up, or fire, but nothing at all like the comic books displayed. Not many people were around at this time of evening because most of the people in the neighbor-

hood worked the night shift at the mill, and, although darkness was setting in, the intensity of the heat was enough to keep everyone inside their homes and quiet. The man that was sauntering down the street had stopped by a doorway and was reaching into his pocket. He drew out a package of cigarettes and selected one from the pack, rolling the end of the cigarette between his lips. He hunted for a match and finding one he struck it, and a glow shone around his hands and cast wierd shadows across his face. He drew deeply from his cigarette. Tossing the match carelessly in the gutter, he' walked slowly down the street as a blonde girl trotted along in front of him, h er heels clicking on the pavement. She probably had worked late and was now in a hurry to get home and into a cool shower, or perhaps she had a date and was late. The carelessly dressed man sauntered on behind her down the sullen street as street lights flickered on and a few lights in the buildings were turning on, one by one. The girl turned quickly into the alley, which was a short cut to the down town district, and the man followed a few steps later. The noises of the evening were distant and few, besides the unconscious hum of the traffic, and no moving Objects were in sight for the bored Toby. Suddenly, a couple of sharp noises shot out through the stillness of the dusk, and it startled him for a moment. Now Toby's mind wandered off in wonderment of the two strangers that were passing through the alleyway. Maybe the man had

something on the girl and he had shot her. Toby thought. Yes, that did sound like gunfire didn't it! Is the girl lying defenselessly in the alley with blood slowly dripping from her wounds-her destination unreached - perhaps never to be reached ? Did the man scamper away and manage to mingle with the crowds? Toby's mind drifted uncontrollably along lines of wonder. Excitement was what this neighborhood needed, and now there was no doubt in his mind that this was it! Maybe Toby would be in court testifying against this man who so horribly murdered this innocent woman in cold blood. He could hear the electrifying hum of the courtroom, now, and see the accusing eyes of those who knew this girl, piercing through this man. Sure, Toby would tell all when they asked him. He'd tell the jury how the man waited for the girl to pass him and then quickly pushed her into the alleyway and killed her for reasons unknown. Then everyone in the neighborhood would realize how really important Toby Foster was, and his gang might have to let him become a leader of them because he was in big time stuff now. The story was going to be better than any comic book and it certainly would make the gang's hair stand right up on end. Toby continued staring through his window and dreaming about the latest incident while the man across the street decided that only a couple of hits with his hammer was enough to keep the board in its place.

Brick, steel and cement. . .

On March 28, 1952, the completed structure pictured at the right was named Proctor Hall in honor of Dr. Milton D. Proctor during whose tenure as President of Westbrook Junior College the new edifice was carried from inception to completion.

Dr. Proctor confers with Mr. MacGibbon. . . Miss Pike takes a look.

Ground breaking ceremonies for the $400,000 building took place in April, 1950. A Building Fund Campaign Office was opened in Monument Square with fund raising activities under the direction of Mrs. Jane Garrison. Trustees, commerce and industry, faculty-staff, parents, students, and commemorative gifts answered the appeal. May 15, 1951, parents toured the building and, with the exception of a small portion on the top floor, the hall was declared complete in August of that year.

Right: Two views of the $15,000 Alumnae Lounge.

The air was cool, sharp, invigorating. I pulled my collar closer about my ears, and continued my noiseless ascent over mountains of aqua-meringue clouds, higher, higher, still higher. My watch had stopped at 12:01 a.m. four days previous, a day in the year 2036. My eyes suddenly focused on a familiar, "down-to-earth'' sign bearing the words "DANGER! THIN CLOUDS!" In tip-toeing across I laughingly tossed the now useless timepiece into the gauziness. Hypnotized by its dart-like fall, and realizing I had just thrown away my last material contact with earth, I was shocked to reality again; for, below me I saw and recognized Lee Cameron, a Westbrook classmate of mine, who tactfully snatched the passing missile and pocketed it. I was reminded of the fact that Lee had always been competing with time and maybe now had conquered it. She swiftly joine-d me and enthusiastically chirped: · "Hi there! Didn't expect to see you so soon.

Going up?"

With an agreeable nod, we set on upward. Lee was eager to tell me about our other college acquaintances: Joyce Swan, Norma Lawrence, Joyce Wilson, Sue Burns, Ricky Kontoff, she claimed, were prominent members on the entertainment committee at that infamous institution "beneath the pines." Nancy Baker, unable to sever the bonds of loyalty to Sigma Nu, was entering her eightyfourth year as housemother at that fraternity house. Lee also stated that it was rumored that Harriet (Mednick) Hilton, Jr. was living a life of luxury and good health in the sea and sun at Miami Beach. We always wondered about that Christmas vacation of '52. The mention of Barbara May, Ricky Gerleman, Mary Read, and Sue Kruse brought to mind the legal petition that had been thrust into my hand before my qeparture . Those equitation enthusiasts refused to leave earth Lincoln Downs until celestial courts permitted construction of one of same in Heaven. I smiled . . . . .We pressed onward in effortless pace, minds at ease, thoughts wandering back to those campus days. Poof! A pair of white bucks wiggle'd helplessly above our heads. Someone, in app?.rent haste, had become confused in route, one that obviously led downward. We quickly .pulled Betsy Webber from her tangle. Blushing profusely at seeing us, she waved a "return ticket" in our faces, and set about her way. Rounding clo-ud No. 103 (with memories of the English Department) my com· panion and I spied a weary and disheartened group, in heated discussion over their appearance. With hearty greetings, we joined some of the retailers from our graduating class: Astrid Bridle and her roommate, Joan Maxie, Barbara Beck, Jean Keough, Aggie Mulholland, Judy Corson, Barbara Sherman, and Barbara Brown. Their weariness was undoubtedly due to their habitual Tuesday, Thursday, and . Saturday a.m. snoozes, I reflected. Assuring them that their outfits were indeed in keeping with the occasion, we again set out on our travel, eagerly singing our Alma Mater. Once on our way, the girls told me they had all been employed in New York's fashion centers, enjoying a career in earlier years and later in happiness of married life. Barbara Beck announced further news from earth: Liz Babcock was ·director of an art school in Paris, gaining world fame for a portrait of her Westbrook room-

mate, Betty Tailor; Phyllis Hitchcock was retired commander of the Women Marines; Carol Mcintire was retired president of Bradford Jr. College; Bette Bailey still executive secretary to U. S. President, Harriet Serlick; Kay Tsomides had gained recognition as "America's Best Dressed Woman for 1955;" Anna Wescott was musical arranger for Martha Flagg's Italian Symphony Orchestra-the oldest in existence: Pat Markowich on piano, Marion Masse on saxophone, Lois Nickerson on trumpet, Dottie Levey on drums, Priscilla Carrington on cymbols, and vocal artists Kay Connors and Becky White. With many inner congratulations for their fine successes, our little group pressed forward with renewed vigor, the prospect of soon meeting more of our classmates very evident. Our goal was finally reached. On the heavenly horizon, we caught sight of an enormous kingdom, basking in the pink and purple hues of gathering dusk. In the distant haze could be seen the forbodeing gates of the great city, and presently we stood before them. With some innerÂˇ qualms as to our "passports", we lined up in order to undergo inspection. Our worries were unnecessary, for gate-keeper was none other than June St. Peter Stevenson, who immediately answered our ring. Breathing heavily, as if from a 100-yard-undoubtedly so, her first exclamation was: "Gosh!

I thought it was the mailman!"

Then: "Put away the credentials, gals.

Any Westbrook student is admitted here."

With sighs of relief, we passed threw those gates to the sound of echoing trumpets. My eye caught sight of Marcia Balkan, Rose Gaccetta, Barbara DoUiff, Mary Stroud, Barbara McCarthy, Kathy Spry, and Pauline Richardson breathlessly blowing out the sign of an arrival. Dona Ames, Jan Backstrom, and Sue Bray led us to our dwelling, a low rambling structure designed by architects Annabel Robinson and Nancy Babson. Each house was occupied by four people, and great was my amazement and joy to find the roommates assigned me were Evelyn Lamb, Betty Raye Richards, and my former roommate, Mary Raizes. Amidst the confusion of reunion, I discovered: Marion Shorey, Nancy Barker, Pat Goodwin, and Lila McCue were chief cooks; Jerry Brown was editor of the Heaven Tribune with Sandy Herman, Lynda Brow, and Kay Hill star _reporters; Sally Haskins was manager of the Heaven All Stars, coaching Nancy Connors, Anne Constantine, Jane Downton, Jayne Goodwin, Pat Knapp, and "Gee Gee" Gendron; Barbara Hebert was director of a theater group--the current production was "Leave Her To Heaven", starring Ellen Bell, Barbara Hesslin, Nancy Jagger, and Helene Wolfson. The Heavenly Heart Bridge Club, I was told, was in daily competition with the Demon Diamonds. Like Westbrook days, the obsession for bridge was still strong. Jane Fletcher, Jeanne Hallee held hourly games with Gloria Lambkin and Lorraine Rue!; likewise did Peggy Rochford and Barbara Walker against Elaine Tarshis and Jody Owen. The following day, my first project was to hasten to that everlasting dreamworld, Lover's Lane, where I knew could be found a great majority of my former classmates. Sure enough! Gloria Tate!, Berdine Tracy, Nancy Pearson, Marla Beith, Barbara Fuller, "Jo" Greene, Norma Wood, and "Jo" Young were among the first to greet me. There were many others you can be sure . . . . . . Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrring! The sound of a demanding alarm clock awoke me.

We, the fantastic, fun-loving, and foever-famished fillies of '52, finding ourselves in _full command of our mental and physical attributes, which God so generously bestowed on us, do hereby ordain and establish this, our last will and testament. To Westbrook Junior College, our Alma Mater, we bequeath a promise to strive to add to its already splendid reputation. The Senior Class ,leaves its best wishes to Miss Carter, our advisor and friend, who we know added a few gray hairs to make our senior year a happy one. We, as individuals, in all sincerety, leave the following: I, "Gee Gee" Gendron, bequeath my place on the hockey, basketball, and softball squads to Nancy Whitmore, who we understand is rather interested in becoming a .sports woman. I, Berdine Tracy, leave my luck with the Air Force to Jean Curtis. I, "Jo" Young, leave my ever-present chatter to Alice Barrows to brighten up some senior house next year. I, Lee Cameron, will my many pleasant weekends at Psi U to Anne Remington. I, Kay Tsomides, bequeath my dramatic talents to Mary County, Joan Stanios, and Mamie McGrail who could really do a good job behind the footlights. I, Kay Connors, leave my droll sense of humor (dry or wet ) to Audrey Suhy who tries so Âˇhard. I, Astried Bridle, leave my size 7 dresses to Anne Pollard. I, Marion Shorey, leave my knitting needles to Nancy Elder, making it public at last that she is interested in the hobby. I, "Jo" Greene, leave quietly, taking with me memories of the more rambunctious days of '51. I, Pat Knapp, leave my hair-cutting shears to Shirley Litchfield who is thinking of going into business with Mr. John. I, Norma Lawrence, will my cheerful smile and dimples to someone who is less fortunate. I, Janet Stover, leave my administrative ability to "Mel" Flaherty and Colene Kelley with best wishes to the class of '53. I, Mary Read, leave a first-aid kit to Joan Wedlock who will need it if she ever decides to ride horseback again. We, Betsy Webber and Nancy Connors, depart in the hope that our worn out jokes will not be repeated next year. I, Bette Bailey,leave my famed intelligence to the present Freshman class so that their marks may change-for the better. I, Nancy Babson, lave my artistic ability to Anne Chandler with the hope that soon her efforts will be rewarded. The ever-chewing Gloria Tate! leaves her love for gum to Miss Dow's future English class. Heaven help her! We, Nancy (Pearson ) Atkins and Virginia (Vaughan ) Brunell, the married girls of the senior class, leave some hope for the sceptical. I, Harriet Serlick, depart from the Day Room, as well dressed as usual. I, Joyce Swan, leave my inquisitiveness to Maxine Christenson. We, Pat Marowich, Lois Nickerson, Betty Raye Richards, and Marion Masse, will our music talents to Jean Hollis, Stasa Raizes, Jean Gregan, and Shirley Cary with the express purpose that they organize a band for the Friday night dances next year. I, "Mike" Westway, leave my sparkling talkative eyes to some Bowdoinite who is afraid to explain his thoughts. I, Bertha Kraak, bequeath ''my London" to Bev Hibbert who appears to be in a fog. WE, the remaining seniors, leave .. . unfortunately, we must. In conclusion, we all leave to the students, faculty, and administration of Westbrook our constant loyalty and esteem. To the Freshman, t!1e hope that their senior year will be as rewarding as ours. To the teachers, our thanks for their patience and understanding. Of Westbrook, herself, we take our leave. Whatever our aim may be, we have the assurance that we have been c:ompletely equipped in our education. As women now, inspired to noble purpost" and prepared to assume whatever tasksland responsibilities lie before us, we, the c!ass of 1952, take our place in the world. Signed, CONNIE JOY JOAN MUFFLEY
