F O O T P R I N T S Only the actions of the just Snit ' ll sweet and blossom in the (hist. gS IF TO disprove the old adage, appearances have, for once, proved a fair criterion of judgment. When we first met Dot Donelon, we were im- pressed by her frank, open countenance, boyish manner and happy laugh. We guessed that she was a real good sport and we have since found our estimate correct in the fullest extension of the term. The same qualities that Dorothy re- vealed on the basketball court, she has manifested in other fields of endeavor. Honor, loyalty, love of justice and dependability characterized her chairmanship of the Honor System Committee as well as her management of athletics. It is consistent with Dot ' s character that her judgments are uninfluenced by public opinion. No less surprising is her sociability. In our memory, Dot will always lie the sincere, sympathetic, congenial classmate of college days. Popularity is ' 29 ' s grateful tribute to a member ' s sportsmanship. Twenty

' 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.

F O O T P R I N T S Pwdib Jj. ±)oyh ' Reflect that life like every tlu-i blessing derives its value from its itsr alone. T%E ARE, in this reflection, presented with a study of one, whose interests VXy are varied and characteristic too. Yirgile has the uncommon combination of ability in her mathematical trend of mind, and literary prowess. Movements have filled her life — the Romantic movement, the movement of a line revolving about a point, the movement up a staircase, so hateful to her, the movement toward an appointment, so unimportant to her. Even in these move- ments that rule her life, we find the glowing contrast. Like to a musical theme that has its lofty moments in contrast to the more placid tempo, her college life has known the fast-moving and thrilling successes that her executive management has given us. Her Senior-Junior luncheon and Mission Day won whole-hearted plaudits from all. We offer in evidence of her geniality of disposition that she held her class vice-presidency so securely. We hold memorable of her varsatile talents her re- peated dramatic portrayals and her frequent musical recitals. We acclaim Virgile, the lackadaisical, the industrious, the teaser, the friend, the mathematician, the actress, and always — the likable. Twenty One
