Nor have these years been spent in fruitless search for knowledge, success, or friendship, for Allene has left an imprint in the hearts of all Twenty-nine that will long be cherished. Though she is of a reserved and slightly reticent disposition, our intimacy with Allene could not but reveal her affectionate, loyal personality. Her sym- pathy and sound advice, always readily proffered, have helped many of us out of difficulties. She, more than any of us, seemed to possess the happy faculty of seeing straight to the point which philosophers call logic and laymen call common- sense. Her loyalty to the class has manifested itself in the enthusiasm with which she played Center on twenty-nine ' s basketball team. Allene will be remembered by her classmates as one eager in help, loyal to any responsibility undertaken, and the best of companions. Twenty Four

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

Her diligence, careful judgment, justice and sympathy made her a capable chairman of the Attendance Committee. Through her earnest cooperation, that body has been helped to its present status in the College. Kay was also interested in the History Club. To its activities, she contributed loyal support. The success of many interesting projects undertaken by the Club was due, in no small measure, to Catherine ' s enthusiasm. ( ur classmate tells us she will enter the business world. We feel certain of her success, f i her pleasing manner and industrious nature will surely win rec- ognition from her future associates as it has from those who have been her fellow- students for three years. wenty Five
