' Your smiles are wauls whose ways we cannot trace That vanish and return we know not how: ' 1 ARGARET is the kind oi girl who convinces one that the bard who said ' Still water runs deep, knew his psychology. She is the epitome of sin- cerity, and yet, like all serious people, is possessed of a shyness that sometimes completely disguises her real feelings. Nevertheless, Margaret has a real sense of humor which coupled with her understanding and unfailing support, makes her a real pal. Her two years service on the Attendance Committee give evidence of her good judgment and efficiency. The good sportsmanship she exhibited as a mem- ber of our class team is carried over into all her activities. Whenever there was a task in he dune, no matter how short her notice, Margaret was always ready and willing to cooperate. ' In several members of the class g 1 sportsmanship has keen ascribed. To Margaret Conway the quality may he unequivocally attributed. During a very memorable class meeting her straightforward statement of opinion was effective in restoring relations of enmity between conflicting groups. Until senior year we were unaware that Margaret deplored the prevailing at- titude inward self-expression. Shortly before Commencement her name was ap- pended tn one of the must self-expressive articles ever published in LOR1A . Whatever reason prompted it. we are glad that Margaret ' s natural reticence was overcome sufficiently in enable her tint too surprised readers to appreciate her literary talent. .Ml in all.

[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

Marie was in that little band. Conquering time and difficulties, she has won the advance rank and stands among us as one of Twenty-nine ' s own. Marie ' s sophomore year brought not even the slightest hint of what value she would be to us. We remember her frequent music recitals and how we thrill- ed tn them. We knew her as an interested member of the Glee Club without greater concern because we felt that there. Marie as a music lover belonged. And that was all for us. But actually that was not all. Marie ' s sophomore year was a critical point in her college career. Each one met her informally and before her local fame was sung. Thus we had to tacitly observe what Marie ' s quiet manner would never let her consciously display. But no one can help noticing sincerity that is not found among the most of men. No one can let go unnoticed the rare disposition of fairness of mind to others. )ne can never forget the willingness to shoulder responsibilities without any element of self-assertion. The College met her in activity for the first time in the pantomimic lead in the Glee Club production. It gave us happiness to know that she would do what she could think. Then comes the story that ' 29 loves to tell and count among its tra- ditions. The Senior Prom was due fur sailing. Without pre-consultation or leaky doubt the Seniors laid claim upon her. Then everything we had been thinking about her proved true. It was as though she had been brought to us for that one accomplishment alone. She handled the venture as skilfully, thoroughly and si- lently as she did her Lady of Shallott. Under her leadership ' 29 conquered once again. Seventeen
