F O O T P R I N T S CWW OW, £. j ofto, ' Childhood in your eyes and in your ways; Womanhood in your heai t and in your soul. ' m kARY reminds one of nothing so much as Little Boy Blue with his delightful determination to play forever — and his faithful toys while sturdy and staunch they stand. Both characteristics are admirably blended into this charm- ing boy who delights when she speaks and delights when she does not. For Mary possesses that quiet excellence that when necessary, can become excellently heard. Such necessity arose in the Sophomore year — and Mary was elected Cheer leader. For two years Mary cheered many a game to successful completion. We will not simn forget — those basketball scenes — one goal needed — One cheer need- ed! — and Mary in her white and gold — armored with megaphone — gave the im- ] etus to victory. In the held of athletics Mary has been not only a charming leader, but also an efficient follower. For four years she has played forward on the class team, and ' 29 owes much of its success and trophies to her clean, fair, quick, agile and ' efficient playing. At all times, Mary stands so sturdy and staunch to her ideals, glimpsed at rather than seen, suggested rather than heard, that she was elected to. the Student Council in her Senior year. Four years have not changed her. In her is the essence of all youth — which because it is so genuine, will always be permanent. True art conceals art. Thirteen

When mure seriously thinking about her we cannot help speaking of her pro- ficiency in History and English. If Cae did not know a date or influence or movement, then it is a safe guess that there was something wrong with the prof ' s question. This very correlation of these very highly correlated subjects blends with the symmetry of her whole self. But if Cae is fastidious in relation to her person, she is fastidious also about the efficiency witli which she undertakes any position of responsibility. The chair- manship of the Stella Maris Dan« — the first in the new building — was entrusted to her and Cae proved thai she knew what to do with the trust. Twelve

XX THESE days of radicalism and rashness, it is most refreshing to find a girl who is neither antiquated nor ultra-modern. Such a one is Kay. Wit- ness her haircut which neither caters to the present vogue of long hair nor accepts the short trim of the early twenties, but finds a blessed medium somewhere be- tween the two. You ask what were her conquests? Many! Bede and Caedmon are among her debtors for her original rendition of and improvement on their literary efforts. To the prof ' - she was equally helpful. No one who took a cer- tain examination in Literary Criticism can deny this, for Katherine ' s happy guess was the class ' s sole salvation. If you would know more of her mental ability, read Kay ' s verse in Footprints. In the recent whispering campaign, it was brought out that Katherine E. Bourke was the inspiration for the motto. Be Nonchalant. It was this air which first interested us in her. Her unobtrusive individuality attracted us; her pleasing imperturbability held us; and the knowledge that she was just one of us struggling, embryonic B. .
