It was due to her able management that this was one of our biggest social and financial successes of the year. But this is only one of Mary ' s claims to distinction. 1 ler interests are diversified. What college function has not benefitted by Mary ' s willing and untiring assist- ance? She identified herself with the activities of almost all the societies. We saw her in the ( dee Club, the Serenaders, the Dramatic Society and the Stella Maris Circle. But Mary thought of other things besides social affairs. Her earnestness and conscientious interest in all her undertakings inspired her classmates with con- fidence. This they manifested when they choose her to be their representative on the Council of the Undergraduate Association. They had every reason to feel that their trust was not misplaced. We can ' t help missing that congenial and sympathetic nature, that cheery smile and that unselfish cooperation. We are truly sorrow to part from Mary. ti- Eighteen

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

' XS IT possible that one so reserved could tempt another to want to know her better? Yes! For there is about this elusiveness a charm. We wonder in what it is that Dorothy is interested. We find that she is a student of life, that she is well read, and that above all. she is artistic, nut only in her ability to appreciate but to create. A deep love of the beautiful and a desire to be a part of beautiful surroundings characterize her. Many lovely, individualistic articles have been fashioned by her hands. We would not be surprised if in the future she shou ld be the mistress of one of those enchanting art chops. Dignity of manner and a cheerful nature lend additional charm to a charming character. Morever, Dorothy is a leader in many respects. She is the first to recognize and adopt interesting new fashions; she is in the front rank of those who always lend support to every social affair; and she is enviably prominent in the affections of her classmates.
