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.

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.
