REGINA M. COGAN REGINA ' S claim to fame — or near-fame — is three-fold. She is extremely independent, extraordinarily efficient, and possessed of a pair of smokey-fringed Irish blue yes that might well be any- one ' s envy. Those first two assets helped considerably when it was a question of taking her degree in three and a half years, working for the Social Service Group, or serving mi a Supper Club committee. But those Irish blue eyes are just the symbol of all the reasons why people like Regina. First of all. she has a delightful sense of humor which has en- livened many a lesson-laden group. She has an attractive personal- is which makes friends and holds them. She is an insatiable fol- lower of all college affairs, dances and parties. In short, she never seemed to weary of being at St. Joseph ' s and doing things. It isn ' t any wonder that Regina ' - extremely attractive face will be well remembered bv the members of Thirty-Two. 17

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

MARGARET M. COONEY MARGARET is one of our unfailingly cheerful members. You just can ' t be in her company and be out of sorts. We remem- ber her distinctly as lending the lighter touch to classes in Livy and Horace — which faculty, however, did not prevent her from showing just how much she knew of the language. Indeed, she liked it so much that, although most of us dropped Latin after one year, she majored and took all the available courses. Then she topped them off by taking part in that altogether unique Latin play. Last year Margaret put all our litt ' e efforts at work to shame by taking a business course at night — and now she is competent to teach (and she certainly has the qualities of a good teacher) either Latin, or Stenography and Typing. This earnestness is the keynote of her character — she is the unobtrusive type of worker — the kind that in- variably gets results. She has worked in Glee Club and in class func- tions, as well as in her chosen field of endeavor. It is easy to predict that Margaret ' s will be a successful career — whatever line of work she chooses.
