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.

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

HELEN P. COUGHLAN THE third of the three Coughlans had a reputation to live up to, and she ' s done it in a way calculated to make older sisters sit up and take notice. Helen strikes you as being, first of all, immensely capable. Perhaps, that is the reason why, like each of her sisters, she has always been one of those to whom you could turn if you wanted a job done well. Witness her management of the annual Bridge, by which she netted a tidy sum for the Trust Fund. Wit- ness, too. her work on the Senior Prom Committee, for which her gracious, poised manner fitted her to perfection. Helen has always been noted as one of the best-dressed members of the Class of Thirty-Two. In fact, she can even manage to look- well-dressed in a gym outfit, and that, incidentally, is not one of her least popular ensembles, for she ' s been a very active member of the class basketball team. Some people never have time for anything, but in spite of the fact that Helen bails from Glen Cove, she could always stay for a class partv. always get in for a college dance or a college show, and she always did her share to put college activities over with a bang. Here ' s luck in all your ventures, Helen. 19
