MARGARET M FERRY T U be able to assimilate a vast aim unit of knowledge and still not merit that disparaging nickname of grind is the enviable position which Marge has filled for the last four years. 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

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.

DO I fl BB GENEVIEVE FINN F ' ASTIDIOUSNESS + Finn = Genevieve, fastidiousness, not finical but rather refined and dainty. Everything Gene does is characterized by a care and finish that is second nature to her. Her taste naturally tends toward the arts rather than the more strenuous pleasure of basket- ball or hockey. Not only is she a very valuable member of the Serenaders, but her artistic abilities have been freely given to Glee Club and Dramatics. So much for the fastidiousness, you say; but what about the Finn? Ah — that comprises the sincere, conscientious endeavors and the ever-ready helping hand that round out this artistic nature and make the whole a lovable person. ( iene ' s lessons are always fully prepared with a little over for good measure. And who ever heard her refuse to make a poster to boost this or that around the college? And delightful posters they always were, promoting the cause of art as well. Genevieve, the mathematical major and the algebraic sum of these char- acteristics has proven a true daughter of our Alma Mater. May St. Joseph ' s gather within its ranks many more of her calibre!
