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. .

' 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

[llE SOARS in the realms above, pursuing her many ideals, then she bounds lack to earth, and gaily trips about, like a child on a long-desired holiday. This womanly, yet childlike characteristic has bewildered us. As a student, few- can equal her ' . She has reached the enviable heights of eight A ' s in one semester. Her determination to succeed, her alert mind and conscientious sense of duty, are the reasons for her success. Above all, Marie has not only faith in her own convictions, but the power of argumentation. But. do not think Marie is always poring over books, searching for knowledge. The social life of ' 29 always receives her whole-hearted support. Her ability as an actress, whether in a humorous class sketch or a profound characterization in the Dramatic Society, is well known. I lard, disagreeable tasks never daunted her, and she accomplishes them with a cheerful smile and willing hand. Never does Marie pass by a troubled classmate without a comforting word or a precious moment of interchange of confidences. Her keen sense of humor has brought her and many others from gloomy depths to joy. Marie ' s staunch char- acter and spiritual appreciation will bring her success and the place in the rank of lumnae that is her just due. Fifteen
