Evelyn Conant, left, and Mary Mercer, both graduated in 1940 from Beverly High School, look at the "Senior Memories 1940" book . The two women grew up locally in the Great Depression and talk about life then, with real sacrifices. They are residents at the Essex Park Rehabilitation and Nursing Center.
