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

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

HS A thespian in the unusual capacity of male portrayals, Catherine has carv- ed a lasting impress in our more delightful recollections. Both the Glee Club and the Dramatic Society gave testimony to her worth so that whether Catherine spoke or sang, she pleased immensely. In the hist year, the members of the Dramatic Club gave her the position among them which they reserve always for the one whom they wish to especially honor — that of vice-president. This gesture was a recognition of her altruistic services in the past. Thus she carried an award of pure merit unattended by im- pi »sing duties. Catherine ' s true, lyric soprano has given us many thrilling moments of in- effable pleasure. Her entire social interests have been thus centered about artistic endeavors. Yet her constant interest in this direction has revealed the almost unbelievable in an artistic character — Catherine has not temperament. Who has ever seen Kay afire? Who has ever seen her impatient? On the contrary, earnestly, patiently, without a murmur, she has often shelved her womanliness to assume the demeanor of gallant or sire. Catherine, herself, has never given indication as to whether she intends to de- vote her later life in the interests of her talents. But our hope is that she will try to bring to others what she has so pleasurably brought to us — that under the quiet and submissive manner in which she has set about her scholastic duties, she might have been thinking, planning, building, dreaming dreams.
