Miss CHANDLER Peculiarly our own, we hold most clear Of all, her, the heart and moving spirit Of the class of thirty-one. No fear Of failure comes upon us as we know Our way is straight and line when she directs. Though enigmatical, yet it is clear Whate'er may come to pass, she is Peculiarly our own to holcl most clear. Miss WHITIE Brown.gold Rembrandts, The vastly-powerful Michaelangelo, We know and love all these. But more we love our keeper of the 'I'o these eternal mysteries of beauty. We strive to reach The true perfection of appreciation As manifest in thee. gate Miss SCHUMACHER For useless, worthless, sinful rascals We're quite a clever lot! We recognize a sense of humor, See a subtle intuition, Love a fine and generous heart,- Unusual, is it not? But then, Miss Schu would still confess lt's youthfulness, not wickedness. Sf.X'Ir'rll

beniur Presentation bpeeth How swiftly a year can roll by! Such a short time ago it seems, we stood here upon these same steps, ofiicially accepting them as ours from another senior class. And now we stand here once more, oliicially giving them to you, juniors, as yours. We have loved Saint Margaret's clearly throughout our four years with her, but, being human, we are powerless to express our feelings. She has given us all those qualities of mind and soul that we will cherish in future life. We have striven always to stamp the personality of the Class of 1931 with indelible ink upon the heart of Saint Margaret's. And now we are going on, an advance guard up the ladder of the years, and we leave you behind us, juniors, in possession of our Senior Steps, our Senior Room, and all those traditions dear to seniors of the long ago as well as to us. We leave, entirely confident of your ability to carry on these traditions, and we wish you every success and happiness. junior Qtteptante bpeetb Seniors, you, having been in our place, know what we feel in taking over these sacred senior possessions. We are more than proud to receive these steps, but more than sorry to see you go. Out position is indeed an anomalous one: we stand here with you, co-owners of the senior symbols, happy in the realiza- tion that at last the longed-for goal is ours, yet sorrowful in knowing that you are soon to leave Saint Margarefs. But there is one thing that adds to our joy and detracts from our sorrow, and that is that we join you as one more link in the continuous chain of girls who have stood on Saint Margaret's Senior Steps, and resolved, as we resolve, to be worthy of the honor of our position. We thank you, Seniors, for the example you have established for us in keeping that trust, and we promise you sincerely to live up to that example. Fifteen

Miss EDEL1. With tenderness Our thoughts are turned to you. We grope for words As, trustingly, we have groped For you, To End you always there. The reality of parting Strikes home With keen-edged blade. Do lovely things come always To an end like this? No, the memory Of your loveliness, Your understanding deep, Your winning manner, And all the little things That make us love you so, Will stay with us forever, And our love will reach to you Through all the years to come. Miss LANCTOT Miss Lanctot, true to her ideals of life, Is straight, with level eyes of smoky blue, As on October days, when skies can knife With clearness and unfathomable depth. And she has guided us with even hand, Firm yet sympathetic, with a trait We recognize in this expression: Standing Straight and looking straight and being straight. Serenteen M'AM1E Ah yes, she's clever, Subtle yet frank! Do we love her? A proper de rien Cefte quefliorz! Delightfully par iozzjolmr Comme il faut. Emphatically, however, famair de trap.
