The Prom occasioned the return
of several of our former j class-
mates. Catherine Quigley arrived
from Detroit by plane to add her
bit to liven up the place. Donna

the mischief of our freshman year,
also returnedi for a brief stay.

Marian Towne's boy friend from

when their staging depends upon
his ingenuity.

lenten appearance in Erie on the

Jean Mullen were both on hand to
welcome her.
We're all squeezing for you Eva-
rita—don't det a few day's illness

It has been decided by the class
to bestow upon \Marian Gage's
boyfriend, Glenn, an honorary
membership in the class, and also
a rubber medal-for his generous
aid in decorating the hall for the
Prom with balloons. He at least
ought to head an auxiliary group!
Those boys certainly did come in
handy after the Tea Dance, re-
