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

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

' Q QUIET dependability, an eagerness to do her utmost wherever service might be rendered, a grave friendliness and sympathy, have distinguished .Anna during her four, or rather three and a half years at St. Joseph ' s. Anna was one of the industrious students who entered college in February and without osten- tation or any of the traits which mark the grind. caught up with those who had a five month ' s head start. This ambition was surely an asset to Twenty-nine. Something very real would have been lust had we not the spirit and support of thi-. most likeable of our members. To those who know her, Anna represents a friend who will give her aid or opinion with sincerity and refreshing frankness. To class and college, she rep- resents a genuine member, one who can enter into and give of herself whether tedious work or light-hearted play is required. We could close no dissertation on Anna Dunnigan without speaking of her particular and most delightful variety of charm — the charm of soft speech and sparkling laughter intermingled with becoming seriousness, of deep rooted en- thusiasm and strongly stressed ideals — the charm that so plainly reflects the Em- erald Isle.
