F O O T P R I N T S cAnncL v-VVV. sfcJunnidtat) How truly is a kind heart a fountain j gladness. ' 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.

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

XX APPEARANCE, a most helpless bit of attractive femininity Margaret ' s capable nature belies the impression thus conveyed. Two years of com- mendable work as class treasurer have given ample proof of her dependability. Her public doings were few. yet those tasks that meant time, effort, and skill, were numerous and scarcely seen. There were the countless refreshment com- mittees that knew the helpfulness of Margaret ' s hands. ( iften the sanctum shone with an orderliness such as her own daintiness alone would radiate. But Miss Fitzgerald came more visibly and creditably to the fore with Twenty-nine ' s Junior Prom of which she assumed the leadership. We count those moments must lastingly impressionable that were spent in class, where frequently the dynamic Margaret was displayed. With pleasure do we recall the days that the gentle-voiced little lady from Visitation Academy held whispered recitations with the profs. Then do we follow in recollection the grad- ual growth of her friendship among us. Then did we find the real treat of her spontaneous manner and flashing vivacity, regardless of the time or circumstance. This child of caprice has scholarly ways. The chalk Iin e of her capability is indelible in her college work. She ranks among those, who never seeking to dazzle scholastically, cannot seem to help accomplish that which must of necessity be accomplished. wenty Three
