Laurie Finishes Year As
Class Treasurer

When she looks in the mirror, she sees what has to be Ursula Andress' twin. When other people look at Laurie Andropolis, they see five feet three inches of perpetual laughter and talk and beautiful blond‑brown curly-curls.

"She used to be kind of chubby, but she's finally losing her baby fat," asserts an anonymous friend.

Laurie is a girl of many and varied accomplishments ‑ one of which is the feat of keeping a diary every day ‑ for six years. This year Laurie is a member of Ski Club and Brotherhood Society.

As treasurer of the Senior Class, Laurie says, "I've learned a lot about responsibility, and I've also gained the ability to work with many people."

About her exciting adventures with Ski Club came the comment, "Every day is pretty much of a panic, but skiing with Joe Richardson is always funny." Then she added, "Another funny ‑ one time I went out with a guy who looks like Jerry Lewis and acts about as smart. He locked the car keys in the car at 'It's Here'; but with the aid of a coat hanger we got them out."

Always brimming with funny experiences to relate, Laurie continued, "One time seven of us went to see Johnny Mathis at Arie Crown, and I was driving. (That isn't the funny part). Some Shriners gave us 15 five‑cubic‑foot balloons and we drove down the Outer Drive with the balloons floating on top of the car."

Laurie remained silent when asked what she didn't like about Maine. Her only improvements would be to schedule all P.E. classes for seventh, eighth, and ninth periods; and to replace the water in the drinking fountains with champagne. "That might boost the school spirit anyway."

Laurie's nicknames go from one extreme to the other "Ursula" to "Piddle," with "Lolly" and "Sweetsie" somewhere in between.

Her goals, too, are many and varied. She plans to attend Augustana College in Rock Island After enrolling she hopes to achieve her immediate goal to bring home the captain of the Augustana football team.

"And if Robert Goulet ever comes to Chicago, I'm going to hold the mike for him on stage."

Laurie feels the best thing about Maine is "the many opportunities offered to us. This is the most important, too, with all the different roads open to us, there's bound to be something we like. We have the chance to choose which road to follow."

Laurie feels she has found he road. She plans to major In sociology and go into social work after graduation from college.
