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.

(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 ?

Her phenomenal memory, her apparently inexhaustible supply of energy, her well attended pre- exam. courses are as characteristic of Marge as her wholehearted participation in numerous and varied extra-curricular activities. An active member of the language clubs, the Glee Club and the Serenaders, .Margaret also served successfully as chairman of (I. A. entertainment for two years. She numbers song writing among her gifts and wrote the music for that verv successful musical comedy Meet the Duke. In collaboration with Amy Fraas, she gave us the College Marching Song. In her spare moments, she finds time to keep in the first rank of students and to give her interested cooperation to the Mereier Circle. Page Twenty-Four ; 333® ffl
