MARGARET LANOUE Wisdom does not show itsey so much in precepl as in life-a firmness rj mind and mastery of appetite.

URING our four years at school we have sensed a growing admiration for Margaret. At first we envied her consistently high scholastic standing. As our contacts became more intimate we realized that she possessed other abilities which were Valuable to us as a class. VVe depended on her discriminating taste and in- telligent judgments at times of stress and strain is n ii She performed her duties well. How competently she pursued her task of collecting student dues! ii ii xr Notwithstanding the fact that at times she may have seemed rather serious, we can't forget that contagious giggle that found its way into our hearts. ,, n i, In our mental picture of Babe we shall inevitably find ourselves thinking of a person who is skilled in the art of book larnin', who is etfervescent with the joys of living, and who is a good friend - in need and indeed. n n n Don't let that Pl1.D. change you, Babe! 27

To us it appears to be natural rather than acquired poise which surrounds her. Yvhatever it may be, she has the power of making one feel at ease i11 her presence: and also a still greater power - that of appearing at ease in the presence of others. D D D The ensemble will regret losing such a loyal member. Her unfailing assistance l1as always brought success to every ensemble appearance. D D D Drama is another of the arts towards which she turns. She excels in this, as she does in anything which she genuinely likes. D D D Added to her list of achievements we find that Peg also plays a mean game of soccer. Charming? Yes. Versatile? Yes. Unmindful of it all, she goes calmly and graciously on her way - a true lady. 26

3 SIGRID LOBDELL Her soft cheeks make the maple fade. Such rint, such bloom, was theirs alone. Glee Club CU: Drama Club f3,4D: Poetry Club Ml: Current Events Club C-U: President's List, Mid-year 1938: Basketball: YY.A.A. HAT lovely velvety complexion which Siggie possesses is characteristic of her Norwegian heritage. She may well pride herself upon it. Sig is that blond Nordic type of which we cannot talk lest a bit of envy creeps in. D n n Wie also wish we might be able to talk or write as intelligently on as many subjects as Sig does. She is able to keep a conversation rolling along and make it entertaining as well as enlightening. n n D She has a kindly word for whomever she meets and is deeply sincere when she sympathizes with anyone. Helpful in our times of sorrow and joyous in our times of gladness. she is able to put herself in the other personis position - to be sad when others are sad and happy when others are glad. n ,, ,, We wish we could have seen more of her than we did in her sporadic appear- ances at extra-curricular activities, but she has made her permanent impression on us, just the same. 28
