VIRGINIA M. ENGEL THAT old saying about still waters running deep fits Virginia so perfectly that it seems a shame not to apply it. From Fresh- man year Virginia has been an earnest student, but her reserved and unassuming manner has prevented her from showing her real self to any but her closest friends. Virginia ' s pet interest is literature. Give her a good book of poetry and you will find her riding past her home town station. If this proves nothing, one of Virginia ' s original poems would con- vince you of her talent in the literary fie ' d. Virginia has always been loyal in supporting class and college affairs. She has been a member of the Religion Committee and an active worker on the Senior Week Committee. Whether it be on a crowded Long Island train or in the Fthics class, Virginia always remains her calm and tranquil self. Her steadying influence has been as much a part of Thirty-Two as the cooperation she has given so unstintingly and so unfailingly. 29

MARION A. ELDRIDGE DIMINUTIVE in height perhaps, but not in spirit — that is Marion. For she has ever been ready to do her bust for Thirty-Two and St. Joseph ' s with the utmost enthusiasm. It mat- tered not what affair we gave, Marion was always present — ever ready to lend a helping hand where it might be needed most. Marion ' s height was no handicap in athletics, rather was it an enviable asset. For four years she has held down a side-center position on the class basketball team, and has demonstrated her ability to slide in after the ball where bigger players feared to tread. Her enthusiastic work on the court brought her the honor of the captaincy of the team in Senior year — a position that she handled well. Somehow, Marion always seems happy. An individual giggle coming almost from within a huge locker, (huge, compared with Marion), bears testimony to the fact that Marion is beginning or ending, (as the case may be) the day in joyful mood. Her spirit combines a ' so with its other characteristics a friendliness that sends forth a bright greeting to all whom she meets, and it is not bard to feel that the greeting is genuine. What greater tribute can be given to anyone ? 28

CATHERINE E. EPPIG HERE is a catcher of trains. It seems that Kay comes from Babylon, and we hazard a guess that a trot or two train ward have had a great deal to do with the development of those athletic tendencies. Tennis has in her a real enthusiast and each year ' s tournament has seen her advancing well on to the finals. As a mem- ber of our class team for four years, she has done more than her share toward bringing us athletic laurels. Field Day competition found her in the heat of activity, and this year, as a committee member, she put forth good work toward a successful meet. Kay ' s big achievement was her capable arrangement of this year ' s Parents ' Day. She seems to have that art of extending a warm welcome, which made our folks feel St. Joseph ' s truly cordial atmosphere. They appreciated the reception and we ap- preciate Kay ' s efforts. Attitudes mean a great deal in college life, and Kay ' s spirit has been just what you ' d expect. As a companion, she has furnished a goodly share of wit and humor — an optimistic disregard of too- trving incidents. As a student, she has clone her job faithfully and well. As a member of Thirty-Two and of St. Joseph ' s, she has been truly staunch and loyal. In fact, here is an all-round college woman. 30
