(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 ?

□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

n saae€s?€3=€2f€ ft MARION H. ELBERFELD SB O N meeting Marion one is immediately im- pressed by her enthusiasm and vitality. She throws her mind and heart into whatever she does — be it painting the Sanctum furniture ( which seems to be Marion ' s artistic forte ) or endeavoring to construct a new and vital program for the Literary Society. Equally striking, and perhaps because of her enthusiasm so well-developed, is her spirit of good comradeship and cheer which is so char- acteristic and so contagious. Her arrival in the midst of any group is the signal for gloom to depart. She has frequently and informally entertained some lonely Alumna who returned to the College unexpectedly, revealing particularly at this time a genuine interest in those with whom she came in contact. Whether we judge her by her scholastic record, or by her attendance at collegiate affairs, we find Marion one of the most active and best liked members of the class of ' 31.
