F O O T P R I N T S cy (ic£ cr - C laiio vat) Her brain ' s a quiver of jests and slic does dart them forth with szveet and judicious action. 9 LAUGH and a song! What one can accomplish with these in her possess- ion! Alice is endowed with a lovely voice. Many of our class days have been made more enjoyable by her rendition. She was ever generous to those who cried for more. The Glee Club received her eager support the year the famous Japonette made its debut. In extra curricular activities, whether they demanded active work or smiling support, Alice has been on the spot to do her part. That she came from that mysterious island beyond the Narrows was no drawback to her at- tendance at proms, Hallowe ' en and Spring dances. Alice possesses a particularly charming manner — dignified, restrained and poised. Yes, she is ever ready to sympathize and to cheer with a smile. We cannot bid farewell to Alice without regrets — such companions are not too easily found. Twenty Seven

F O O T P R I N T S 9U n 9 . §Hffi sO Rare beauty And i soul breathing happiness. L—M Y( )UNG lady, lovely to look at and charming to know — that is Helen. Ami 5 1, quite in accordance with these, she is a person with ideals, striving to at- tain them. Some she does not disclose — knowing well that this world will not see their reality. A delicious sense of humor, a real appreciation of the serious side of things and an earnest desire to achieve are among her characteristics. With a delightful imagination which we cannot forget, Helen is like one who lives in a dream world —hut with her feet close to earth. She is versatile, too. in the number of activities in which she has participated. At social events, such as proms, she is always present. We remember a very de- lightful bridge held at - ' 53 Clinton Avenue, which owed its success to Helen ' s leadership. The t dee Club, and more conspicuously, the History Club, were among her chief extra-curricular activities. In the informal class plays Helen al- ways contributed to the dramatis personae. Remember the parody on Rostand ' s Romancers ! And now that the four years have come to a close, we sincerely regret losing her. Hut Helen, with her quiet charm will never fade from our memories.

It sounds y contradictory, doesn ' t it? But not when you know the girl — Helen Harri- son. She is both a genial comrade and a capable leader. Her host of friends is proof of the former; her record as president of the February class of ' 29 for two years bears witness to the latter. That host of friends will tell you how ready to help others Helen always is and how she completely forgets herself in her interest in others. That record reveals her as a cool, level-headed executive, one to whom you would willingly and gratefully relinquish responsibility. At proms and lectures, at social functions and in the classroom, Helen is al- ways in evidence as a loyal supporter of S. J. C. Whole-hearted interest and en- thusiasm characterize her as a spirited member of our college. Helen is quiet, but it is a silence that means something, a silence that guards a wealth of kindliness, dependability and sympathy, expressing themselves in actions that make mere words superfluous. Who is that quiet girl with the laughing eyes and merry smile? Why, that ' s one of the best of Twenty-niners — Helen Harrison. Twenty Eight
