□OJ ffi ROSE M C U L L I C A N L HE only blot on an otherwise stainless record at Saint Joseph ' s was Rose ' s habit of beating the nine o ' clock bell, — by about ten seconds, and so native are honesty and sincerity to her that even this minor lapse in her ethical behavior was the result of a tremendous effort on her part to get there at all. As an active member of the Honor System Committee for three years, and for some time as Chairman, Rose brought to that body the high idealism and undaunted courage that are characteristic of all that she undertakes. These same qualities shone in her Social Service work, with the addition to them of an abundant store of sympathy and understanding. History, however, was her first love, and to that she remained faithful during all her stay at Saint Joseph ' s. It was to that club and those activities that she brought the bubbling enthusiasm and exuberance of eternal youth which have made her our own Peter Pan. BE Page Twenty-One

81 MARY C R O N I N o ' KE will remember Alary most for the things that she has done for us. Hers has been a truly active career. It is almost impossible to count up the number of committees on which she served, not only well, but also wisely enough to bring them to a successful conclusion. She started her political career from the day she was elected Class President in her Sophomore year, and she has not been any less active since she became the President of the Undergraduate Association. Her honors have not rested too seriously on her head, however, for she has managed to remain as friendly and as sincere to all, as she was when we first knew her as a Freshman. Perhaps the greatest compliment that could be paid to one in her position was given to her by an Alumna who said she forgot when talking to Alary that she really was the head of the U. A. And that, we think, is an achievement. The English Department, too. has occasion to remark on the cleverness of this young lady with a pen. She is typically Johnsonian by her tendency to discuss at length with her friends the problems of the day, over a steaming cup of coffee; but she manages to catch the humor of a Wodehouse, and the clever satire of an Erskine to prevent her from the stodginess of pure Johnsonianism. We shall remember her familiarly with her steaming cup of coffee. ffi Page Twenty S H3=£3 3a C

(0 B3 MARIE DUFFY w, HEN we become school teachers we hope that all our pupils are like Marie Duffy, for then they will all be quiet, well- mannered, little girls. But this is not all there is to Marie; she is a very capable and independent young lady, with the faculty for securing what she wants quietly and with ease. Hurry, confusion, and bluster are foreign to her. She is the kind of girl your mother wishes you were. It is not Marie ' s way to kick against the pricks. She waits with self-possession until the pricks remove themselves. Marie ' s unfailing attendance at dances with a certain tall young man leads us to believe that we are not the only ones to appreciate the fact that she vould make an ideal life companion. At the close of her stay at St. Joseph ' s we feel moved to chide her for too great reticence. But we give hearty thanks for one girl who showed a total lack of temperament. Page Tiventy-Tzco w ?
