Helen has never been picked on an allfAmerican basketball teamg Paderewski is more famous than she in the world of musicg Newman was more intellectual and had deeper knowledge, hence, she is the most humble of creatures, and we love her for it. Who could resist the charms of a talented girl with a madonnaflike beauty, whose soft dark eyes never hold a glint of pride or hardness but whose every action bespeaks our ideal-a girl modest though richly talented, quiet though cheery. Helen's talents made her our vice-president before we knew the girl, but it is the girl whom we love who has held the office. She is everyone's friend, for no one could or would try to resist the friendly, compelling eyes and the plead- ing, tender smile. Her unassuming manner does not convey any 7 suggestion of her gifts, and she would not have it otherwise. V. Those gifts will carry her far, but it is Helen of the soft voice Q g, Q if 1 and charming, tender smile who holds the dearest place in our f Q memory. The world will love her for her charm and talents, Q.. i 'Q even as we have loved her, for who could resist them? , t iz ,Z 7 .3-s-ek-vas .L A ., ' 29

Why is it that when We think of Delia, the words, Come back to Erin, rise in our minds? The reason is-Delia. For she is a goodfnatured colleen who denies not her Irish origin. Of late, Delia has joined the ranks of girl hairgrowers and, strange to say, we have never once heard her ask for any kind of hair tonic, either. She surely must have perseverf ance, because for six Whole months she has failed to drop by the Wayside of longflocks advocates. Delia is eternally bubbling over with merriment. In years to come, her smiling face will remain stamped indelibly upon our memories for she has the happy faculty of smiling, come what may. How often have we not thought what a cheerful old world this would be could We all do the same. But vvelre not so fortunate as our Dele who reminds us of the song, Let a Smile Be Your Umbrella on a Rainy, Rainy Day. Keep it up, Delia, life will often have its rainy days, and search where you will you'll find no better umbrella. 28

MAY PELEY She hath a natural, wise sincerity, A simple truthfulness, and these have lent her A dignity. Have you ever come upon a maiden who, before an audience of most attentive listeners, is giving a decided opinion upon the deepest subjects, and ofttimes singing the praises of New York or comparing the merits of rapid transitv here and there Qwe might say, mostly therej? With a preliminary, 'LWell, I think, she is launched wholeheartedly on the sea of debate, and at the end of the lengthy discussion we are sure to find her standing alone, victorious, all disputants having long since been obliged to join the ranks of the listeners for lack of convincing arguments with which to refute her state' ments. Yet we do not censure her but rather approve of her for her firm and steadfast convictions, and only hope that when she is launched on the far more turbulent sea of life, she may be as eager and ready to uphold the honor and sing the praises of her Alma Mater. 30
