i I Agnes Gervase Coughlan V7 HAR HOOK write-ups sometimes seem to reveal a race of super-women, efficient and A successful in all they undertake. And we certainly lay no claim to such eminence. This prologue is necessary before Agnes ' s sketch for we have a funny feeling that when we finish you might doubt us and think we did believe quite firmly in our own greatness. Agnes has served the class of 1930 in a very special way. As treasurer for two years, she faithfully guarded our finances. As a member of the Junior Promenade Committee, she helped make that the success which we so well remember. But it was as Class President in Senior year that Agnes really distinguished herself. In this position of responsibility she fulfilled our ideal of an executive completely. At the beginning of the term she was president pro tern, of the Undergraduate Association, and conducted the election of U. A. officers. As Chairman of Parents ' Day, the first in the history of the college, Agnes established a precedent that succeeding classes may well follow. As Honorary Chairman of the Senior Promenade, she was in fact an active member of the committee. She also helped the program of Senior week. Withal, Agnes is quiet and to use an old, old phrase, unassuming; but this one characteristic makes one confident of her success, always. Eighteen 4 O g TiQT 3Q

i » 1 Margaret Noel Cosgrove A N. C, as Margaret chose to sign herself, became quite famous during Senior ivl, y ear as tne ec jj tor f Lord ' s fj rst column, Nonsense and Stuff. ' ' It was the most popular featute of the magazine because of its keen humor, and the refreshing style of its comment — which was as modern as the New Yorker itself, and far more delightful. When we consider that this same M. N. C. was President of the Athletic Asso- ciation and forward on the Varsity, we begin to realize her versatility. No one has been more active in service to the class. She was a member of the Loria Board for three years, Sketch Editor of this Footprints, and a member of the Glee Club for four years. She was on our Prom committee in Junior year, and was Class Secretary in Freshman year. Without all these offices to her credit, Margaret might still claim glory — for her memory. The morning after a class theatre party, Margaret might have been heard whistling the song-hits for the benefit of her more forgetful classmates, and although she cannot whistle the words, she will supply them to you upon request. We had almost forgotten to mention her whistle, but really it is so famous around school that mention of it seems unnecessary. And in finishing this, let us say that M. N. C. is one of the best spotts in the world! St ri nil i I! fo O yf 1 30 .£ 5

1 f I Eileen Cox C ILEEN thought she knew how to disguise a yawn; or rather, that she knew how - ' to prevent an interior yawn from showing on her face. But one prof, knew the symptoms. He was old at the game and Eileen had had only three years ' practice. She was caught and we all enjoyed the joke. But don ' t leap to the conclusion that Eileen is sleepy. The reverse is quite easily proved. She is among the renowned few who did college in three and a half years, and she is president of the Abacus Club, the study club of the Mathematics Department. Her favorite indoor sport is playing with calculus and the history of Oriental notation. Eileen enjoys a practical joke better than anyone, whether it is on herself or the other fellow. She is fond of playing them and takes them like a good sport. That is why the story of the yawn has become famous. tt gaOA-gCisTSQ T J ShsL ?
