KATHRYN G. DRISCOLL DO we know anything about the Vikings? We can ' t say we do. But it we ever want to, we know where to go. Kay Driscoll ' s seemingly insatiable thirst for a knowledge of these supermen has caused some wonder but we are glad to be able to announce that the research is all for the benefit of her thesis, for, you see, Kay is a history major. So much having been said, we are not going into panegyrics over her A ' s and exemptions, because that ' s the sort of thing you naturally expect from Kay. But, just because of that, you might not expect that she would be interested in the social doings. hi the contrary, she has the reputation of having seldom, if ever, missed a college function. s to extra-curricular activities. Kay has. for the great part, favored Glee Club, and could usually be found in the male chorus of their annual production, in the guise of a tar, a dragoon, or a guest at the party. On second thought, we ' re afraid that Glee must share honors with the History Club, of which Kay was an ever-faithful member. Her latest interest lies in the new but promising Educational Psychology group. In spite of all Kay has done, we think we shall remember her more for her sincerity, her idealism and her true friendliness — in short, for being Kay. 26

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

MARY P. DWYER TT takes no particular effort on Mary ' s part to speak at great length in French, and with an accent that would surprise even a real Frenchman. No, don ' t be catty, we mean she ' s good at it, and that ' s saying something for anyone so Celtic in name and temperament as Mary Patricia Dwyer. At any rate, not only is she a French major, but she is Vice- President of that interesting Cercle Moliere. We have always thought of Mary as the domestic type — she seems so calm, so sure of herself. Perhaps we were influenced, too, by that serene, almost ethereal look that we sometimes found in her face. Be that as it may, her work in college has borne out our theory by proving that Mary has a real flair for management. She proved that when appointed to the Senior Class Day Committee. Her sense of responsibility was recognized by election to the Student Council in Junior year. And. is it possible that her juggling of programs and hours to allow her to make college in three and ;i half years, might foreshadow family budget juggling? But, if Alary doesn ' t fulfill our fond dream for her of being wife and mother, she might (whisper it) go in for art. However, whatever she does, she ' ll make a go of it and what more could we ask of anyone? 27
