□ S ffle =£3=€3 S RITA M. BRENNAN ft I. „F we were searching for a single phrase to characterize Rita we would choose The Golden Girl. Of course, the obvious reason for the appellation is the mass of golden curls, Rita ' s crowning glory ; but we also have in mind Rita ' s sunny disposition and the rich, warm depth of her nature. Rita is a popular member of the class and it is not mere surface popu- larity. The many girls who like and admire her do so with a world of sympathy and a genuine depth of feeling. Rita ' s wit is infectious, irresistible. She has a naivete which is completely disarming, and refreshingly delightful in this age of the blase. Rita ' s chief interest has been in the Dramatic Society. Here her loyal work throughout the first three years at St. Joseph ' s led to her election as Vice-Pres- ident of the group in her Senior year. Long after brilliant achievements of scholarship and service are forgotten — one thing will gleam brightly in our memory — the shining golden head that is Rita ' s. SB Page Fifteen

ffi LAURA F. BRENNAN Ti HERE is one thing that will be eternally coupled with Laura ' s name in St. Joseph ' s and that is athletics. From her Sophomore year when she entered the basketball court as a novice until her Senior year when she held the responsible posit ion of captain of the Varsity, basketball was to Larry reason enough for existence. Regardless of obstacles. she was always able, somehow, to put the same inspiring energy into the game, and come out of defeat or victory with a smile. To lie a good sport seemed as natural as breathing to Larry. Her avocation is to get just as much fun out of this business of living as is humanly possible. If there was to be a supper in the sanctum or a party of any nature, Larry was sure to be in on it, eager to help. Food to her assumed a real personality and was regarded from a peculiarly aesthetic viewpoint. As a tribute to her good taste and judgment she was chosen chairman of Senior Week and succeeded in making that even one of the most delightful in the annals of our class.

• CATHERINE M. CARRINGTON XVAY ' S natural turn for argument and her zest for a battle of wits have provided many an interesting hour for her class- mates, — especially on philosophical subjects. This same willingness to get right to work on the business at hand was carried over to her extra-curricular interests. As a Freshman and as a Sophomore. Kay worked inconspicuously for Dramatics. Later, in Senior year, her natural executive ability was recognized and the Supper Club took form under her guidance. Boundless sincerity and a willingness to forget herself in a cause, added to a touch of satiric cynicism give to Kay ' s companionship a tang which is wholly native. Her hard practicality often conceals a bit of ultra-feminine sentiment. Her attitude of nonchalance, and even scorn, often seems to be nothing more than a defense. We may not agree with her statements (and she is a woman of very definite convictions) but we must admire her whole-souled devotion and earnestness. Page Sixteen 3
