KATHARINE ELIZABETH CRANE Ar Ilaey med to my, .tpifk and .rpmz and new. FOUR YEARS Board of Editors of Salmngzmdi Marionette Member, IV Glee Club, II-Ill-IV Song Contest, Ill-IV Christmas Choir, IV The Alikrzdo Sometimes when we look at Kay, we are possessed of a lurking fear that she will suddenly step back into a Peter de Hooch Dutch interior, whence she certainly must have come. A dear little lady, fresh and neat, on whose face are the marks of an inward tranquillity and a happy composure in accepting what each day brings, could have come from nowhere else. Perhaps that is why we associate Kay with sunshine Filtering through il tiny window hung with dainty blue and white curtains, with sparkling blue and white china, with murigolds in a blue earthenware bowl. We pray thee, dainty lady. leave us not too soon! ALLETTA LANGDON DEMING She that war ewer fair and never proud, Had langue at will, and yet war newer loud. ONE YEAR Assistant Business Manager of Salmngundi Glee Club, IV We might alter the nursery rime to read: Alletta had a little clog, but even that wouldn't be quite accurate, because Alletta has dogs and dogs. And they don't follow her to school because she's trained them too well. When a person likes dogs and dogs like a person, generally the reason is good. In the first place, Alletta's a good sport-out a week, back again, smiling and ready for work. And then Alletta's always ready for a lark, always ready for a hike, and always friendly. She's ready to share her smile-or her car-and so far as we know, there's no reason why every one shouldn't like her. Twenty-.reven

545 .ff 5,3-w . are fifigfe CAROLINE CHAPIN I have marked a zlmurand blurbing apparition: To .rzarz mio ber face. T1-mms YEARS Board of Editors of Salmagundi wg, Alumnae Notes Editor of Magpie, IV ' f Marionette Member, II-III-IV I Marionette Play, III Glee Club, II-III-IV Cercle Francais, IV Christmas Pageant, IV Time: 9:24 P.M. Place: the history room. The scene opens with Caroline putting the last touches on her history map. No, she is not lazy, or slow, or procrastinating. Caroline just naturally intends her map to be as neat and accurate as industry and patience can make it. Time: 9:26 P.M. Place: room 29. Caroline is no longer the meticulous student. Friendly words are tossed about. Enthusiasm is everywhere. The telephone call was just too exciting! Or perhaps Lois or Ginny or Helen is going to the next Taft dance-and Caroline is as gay and happy as though the invitation were her own. At any rate good cheer reigns. Time: 9:31 P.M. Place: same as before. Silence reigns. CARRA G. CLARKE Her very foot bar muxir in it. Foun YEARS Board of Editors of Salwagundi Marionette Member, IV Glee Club, II-III-IV Song Contest, Il-III Leader of Glee Club, IV Christmas Choir, IV For a striking contrast, consider Carta calming the tumultuous seas of a chapel line: then think of her hilariously relating the adventures of the last week-end, which adventures, unfortunately, must not be recorded here but conlined to very private diaries. Carta, the laughing, rollicking companion! --and Carta, the executive, the dominant personality. The serious Carta made for admiringg the gay Carta, for loving. There is something in the toss of her head that is far more eloquent of a Begone, dull care! spirit than words could ever be. And there is something in a pretty petulance of manner in the application of this same Begone, dull care! spirit that is irresistible! Twenty-six

VIRGINIA DYER A Jzweei, altmrlizfe kind of grace. Two YEARS Board of Editors of Snlnmgundi Marionette Member, III, IV Class Hockey, III-IV White Hockey, III-IV Varsity Hockey, III-IV Captain of Class Hockey, III White Captain, IV Christmas Choir, IV Ginny might be called our Miss Saint Margaret's on both a beauty and a popularity ballot, and quite rightly, too. Her sweet, generous disposition alone would give her the vote-but think of the way she flies down the hockey held for goal! What could we do without her? is the repeated question of the Whites. No wonder! She's one of their best players, a good sportsman, and their captain. fThere seems to be an echo of that question in Ginny's frequent summons to the tele- phone.j But she deserves it all, for, figuratively speaking, she always is sympathy itself and ties up our hearts with loving words and gentle kindnesses. CHRISTINE ENGELKE Thur I .ileer my bark and mil, on even lveel, willy K gentle gale. THREE YEARS Assistant Editor ofSt1lmagumli Marionette Member, III-IV Marionette Play, IV Glee Club, II-III-IV Cercle Francais, Ill-IV Secretary of Cercle Franqais, IV Christmas Pageant, IV T OHL A11 If actions didn't speak louder than words, we might be tempted to think Chris a second Spectator, But don't be misled by her quiet smile and her unassuming mien. When she wants words, Chris has them,-and the right ones, too. The smile reveals a quiet friendliness and the modesty is as natural as the friendliness. But so far as we can see, Chris really needn't be modest! We have discovered her sweet voiceg her capable, logical mind, that cuts through the tangles of mathg and her ability in French Club and Marionettes. And we have admired-and loved her for it-her carrying on, whatever the task, no matter how diliicult. 'Twenly-eight
