A class of vivid personalities . . . initiative . . . extraordinary division into
duets . . . efficiently led by popular, publicity-ducking Betty Kuehl, who did
a good job on unlimited energy, wit and good humor. We will remember
Dorothy Mae Thomas for the Winter Dance ... for the season's surprise in
change of escorts ... for work (with fellow-cyclist Phyllis Ann Kerper) on
the Crest . . . and both for a deep and exemplary friendship ... for their
collection of alleged jokes ... for Music Appreciation. We will remember another team—Mary O'Hern and Elaine Bishop—for honors in class and club
elections ... for talent in organization ... for personality ... for Mary's Spring
Dance ... for Elaine's smooth modelling. More duets to remember—Margie
Ehrke and Eileen Sersig . . . Margie for the mannerisms of a benevolent pixie
. . . Eileen for distinction . . . both for sparkle . . . and afternoons at Walgreen's
. . . Rosemary Timmerman and Lorraine Jung . . . Rosemary for Dubuque and
Lorraine for Chicago ... and both for importing their men . . . Gisella Rosa-
Gastaldo and Jean Hansen, with incidental orchids to charming Gisella for
being an exceptional mannequin . . . and Elaine Conley and Mildred Marron,
a habit from their Villa days. To the sophomore class—a toast ... for spirit
... for fun ... for Margaret Ruth Morrissey ... for leadership ... for a bright
and inviting future.
