'tFew things are impossible to diligence and skill. RUTH ANNE BUNCE Many can brook the weather that love not the storm. THREE YEARS Secretary of Student Government, IV Assistant Business Manager of Salmagumli Marionette Member, II-III-IV Marionette Plays, II-IV Glee Club, II-III-IV Song Contest, IV Business Manager of Basketball, IV Senior Play In describing Nappie, where shall we start? We might begin in so many different ways. Like a diamond-every light in which we hold her shows a new beauty. Her dramatic skill-and character acting, too-her sweet singing, her ability in managing the basketball, her delightful Magpie contributions, her ever-conscientious work on the Stu G., that bright smile, and oh, that lovable disposition! They are all just a few of the beauties in our diamond, beauties that twinkle forth right merrily, proving to all how lucky we are to have her, and proclaiming to all that any one with such attributes will surely be a success. VIRGINIA H. JOHNSTON FOUR YEARS Class Orator Dramatics Editor of Salmaguiioli Magpie Board, III Business Manager of Magpie, IV Marionette Member, I-II-III-IV, Play, I Secret-ary of Cercle Francais, III President of Cercle Francais, IV French Play, III-IV Glee Club, IV Latin Club, IV Senior Play Oh, .Iinky will know that. And so to her we go, whether our problem be geome- try or what to wear to a tea-dance. There is no one more fitted for business manager of the Magpie, nor a more poised hostess, who speaks French so charmingly for presi- dent of French Club,-and our orator's silver tongue. But Jinky could not always be perfect, which makes her even more lovable and amusing. She sometimes, at least about fingernails, stubbornly insists on her own point of view. Besides Jinky's charm and personality, there is an indescribable quality which makes her successful in any thing she chooses to do, whatever it may be. Twenty-five

HELEN MORRISON PEASLEY Her welcome ever smiles and her farewell goes out sighing. Form YEARS Class Secretary Assistant Business Manager of Salmagzmdi Cercle Francais, IV Alumnae Notes Assistant of Magpie, III Alumnae Notes Editor of Magpie, IV Marionette Member, I Glee Cluib, I-II-III-IV Vice-President of Athletic Association, III Business Manager of Athletic Association, IV Latin Club Consul, IV Class Basketball, I-IV Varsity Basketball, IV Senior Play Helen's very quiet, isn't she? a stranger might ask. Perhaps so, in that she is never boisterous. But who wants her to be raucous, anyway? She is so many much nicer things. Why, Helen has school spirit, class spirit, and an ever-present smile. Who could ask for more? Yet our capable and merry secretary has given us much more, alumnae notes, her Magpie poems, her basketball guarding, and also her work as business manager of the Athletic Association and consul of the Latin Club. She has that rare gift of doing everything that she does well, and '29 confidentially whis- pers that everyone will be proud of her in later years. CAROLYN LAMPEE A 'Charm stwikes the sight, but 'merit wins the soul. Two YENARS Class Treasurer Athletics Editor of Srllmagvmdi Marionette Member, III Cercle Francais, IV French Play, IV Glee Club, III-IV, Leader, IV Song Contest, III-IV Assistant Business Manager of Athletic Association, III Class Basketball, III Lavender Hockey Captain, IV Varsity Hockey, III-IV, Captain, IV We have a feeling that if Carolyn had lived in those good old days of knights and the Round Table, she would have been known as Lampee-the-Versatile. But for our own sakes, we are glad that she didn't live then, for who would be our Glee Club leader, or captain of the hockey team, or of the Lavenders, or who could have sung so delightfully in the French play, or been our class treasurer? There are many more whois, too-one need only glance at the list above. And all this has happened in two short years, in which Carolyn has gained the respect and love, not only of her class, but of all Saint Margaret's. Twenty-four

BARBARA BORCHARDT Happy am I when from care I'm free. FOIUR YEARS Board of Editors of Salmagzindi Glee Clwb, I-II-IV Marionettes, III Whenever we hear a tinkling laugh or a deep giggle, we always know that Bar- bara is near at hand. She is one of those people that you love to Watch and listen to, even from a distance. Her face migihit have been the madonna in some gre-at master- piece, and there is a charm even in her soft, rich voice. Yet, knowing Barbara is even better that merely observing her, however pleasant that may be, for there is a gay friendliness about her, an ever-ready helpfulness, and a keen interest which makes you seek her company. After four years, we still hold our first impression of her- love for her and her friendly smile. JOSEPHINE FRANCIS BRADLEY Some feelings are to mortlalls given With less of earth in them than heaven. ONE YEAR Board of Editors of Sallnziagundi Marionette Member, IV, Play, IV Glee Club, IV Song Contest, IV Senior Play Jo is two girls in one--first, an idealist, with a love of adventure, of dreaming, and delightful nonsense, a writer of charming poetry, who philosophizes on idealsg the second, the steadfast Jo, who helps Glee Club, who works diligently on her lessons, who delighted us with her fine acting-the poor, deaf woman was so grief stricken- in The Exchange. Could there be a more pleasing combination? And both these Jo's are brimful of school spirit and friendliness, school spirit which 'has made her enter eagerly into all activities and a friendliness that has carried her into all our hearts with her half gay, half serious personality.
