ANGELA M. DEEGAN NO, Angela isn ' t trying to look like an Elizabeth Arden ad. That ' s quite a typical picture. It illustrates perfectly the thing that everyone feels about Ange ' a — her sincerity. She is sincere in her work, her play, her friendships. And she was, above all. sincere when she was begging you to bring in your class dues. As Senior Class President. Angela had a position that, for responsibility and sheer worry, outclassed any other. The glory that attached to her name by reason of her office could never be sufficient to compensate for the planning, arranging and plain working she did for us. It is really a wonder that this busy lady found time for any- thing besides her executive and scholastic duties, but she did. l ' .asket- ball, hockey and tennis were second nature to her, and Thirty-Two is likelv to sigh with pleasure when remembering the way Angela could shoot a basket, knock a puck around or place a fast serve. The finishing touch, we think, to this picture of an all-round girl is the fact that Angela writes verse — and good verse at that. In spite of everything, however, we have a feeling that some day in the not too-distant future, we ' ll drop in and find her warming the baby ' s milk while hubby reads his evening paper — in a cute little cottage built for two or three. 24

EDNA V. DAWKINS • • Y IEE someone second that motion? Sure, someone will, ami W it ' s usually Edna. Edna does more than second motions, though. She makes them and talks about them and then convinces people that they ought or ought not to he passed, according to her views on that particular subject. For Edna is a young lady of very definite ideas and a will to back them. Perhaps that is why the Religion Committee, during her four years of membership and Senior year of chairmanship, became such a vital element in the life of the college. Athletics is the activity that lies nearest Edna ' s heart. Since Freshman days, she ' s answered the call for class basketball, and when a hockey Varsity was organized, she wasn ' t slow to come into its ranks. Field Day each year would prove her meat, and Thirty-Two was always sure of respectable score with Edna to help roll it up. For pep and power, Thirty-Two proudly points to Edna. There isn ' t a thing we ' d like her to be that she isn ' t, so all we can say is, The best of everything to you, Edna! 23

FRANCES U. DIECKERT FRANK and activities will always remain inseparable in our memory. From Freshman P. T. through successive Field Days, even to last year ' s, of which she was Chairman, she could ahvavs he depended on to out-broad-jump the rest of us. This high- score basketball player is one of the very few who can point to four years membership on the Varsity, as well as to the fulfillment in the last vear of the numerous duties of President of the Athletic Asso- ciation. But athletics is not the only thing in which Frank is interested. For three years the French Club has received her loyal support, both in its annual presentation (who will forget Lucil ' .e ' s lover in Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme ?) and in its other activities. And yet, witli all this, the end of everv term saw her with at least two exemptions. And that ' s a record tor the class baby. To know the real Frank, though, you ' ve got to know the friend. There isn ' t a thing Frank wouldn ' t do for you. That ' s a broad statement, but we think it ' s true, and that ' s the thing that will be remembered when Frank the student or Frank the athlete has faded into the far-away dream of college days. 25
