MARION M. BRENNAN THE memory of main pleasant escapades and the knowledge of an imposing record of tall doings, ' ' makes it difficult to find a beginning or reach an end to a story about Marion. Above all, she has always impressed us with her ability as an executive. Her op- portunities to show that ability have not been few. for as Vice-Presi- dent of the Junior Class and Chairman of the Social Service Group, she occupied positions of considerable responsibility. In fact, her work for the Social Service has been quite an achievement — an achievement in keeping with the time and effort she has put into it. Marion ' s personality is a fine blend of all those traits that make a girl well-liked. She loves a good time — that ' s evidenced by her support of all college affairs: she knows how to apply herself — isn ' t she making college in three and half years? And always, she can be friendly, sympathetic, interested and helpful. Is it any wonder that Marion is popular with the Class of Thirty-Two? 15

KATHLEEN B. BISHOP WHEN we think of Kathleen we do not consider her in terms ul ' what she does or has done, but rather, of what she is. We are convinced that that is a tribute to anybody ' s personality. When the girl is more important than her works — however significant they may be — then she is definitely an individuality. We should mention her really thoughtful work as a History major; we acknowledge her achievement in making college in three and a half years; we know her interest in social service, and we do remember her services on the last and best of our Class days, but these are in the nature of details in the portrait of Kathleen. A description would seem to be in order. And we find to our delight that we may well leave out the more over-worked words. For charm we shall substitute arresting piquancy — charm seems to us too polished an attribute to describe Kay ' s spontaneity and utter naturalness. We are relieved to note that the light in her eyes is not divine — it is impish. Her attractive face is the day ' s best greeting — and any good time is better when she ' s there. But fun-loving and gay as she is, there is background to Kay. The deeper and more substantial things are there. She is perfectly and beautifully sincere. She makes no friends that are not real .friends — and they unanimously recognize their privilege. 1+

ANNE E. BURNS WHEN anyone asks Who ' s that well-dressed girl? ' ' you know, almost without looking, that she ' s talking about Anne Burns. Anne has a way of wearing a frock, or tilting a hat. that just screams class. But she doesn ' t have to rely on dressing the part, for a more roguish blue eye, a quicker laugh, or a friendlier smile, could not be found anywhere. We don ' t want you to get the idea that Anne is just a fashion plate. She ' s a real pal, an interesting companion and a sympathetic soul. Anne is possessed of a fine spirit of independence which is as much a part of her as her very interesting personality. It is an independence, though, that doesn ' t forbid her fitting for hours and hemming backdrops and teasers for the greater glory of the Dramatic Society. The student in Anne refuses to sit back quietly while the social light shines on, and so we have that happy combination of work and play that makes up the sophisticated and thoroughly charming Anne Burns. 16
