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

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

MARCIA FEINN In maiden meditation, fancy free. THREE YEARS Board of Editors of Salmagnndi Marionette Member, II-III-IV Marionette Play, II Glee Club, II-III-IV Cercle Francais, III-IV Socim Latinae, II-Ill Class Basketball, II-III Class Hockey, III Christmas Choir, IV Eleven seats down in the row by the window sits a girl, a stunning, black-eyed girl. We defy you to give her a fleeting glance! The black eyes have decreed that you shall look twice. If you are wise, you'll look deeper. There you'll find no Pandora's box with a thousand evils ready to burst forth, but a thoroughly gentle and attractive personality. You'll find a willingness to help, under- standing, and a rollicking sense of humor. Perhaps this will explain why a certain Chevrolet is never lonely, and why a certain driver is never alone. And, after all, what is more essential and winning than abundant good nature? r GERTRUDE A. GALE The glory of a firm, mpariaur mind. Two YEARS Board of Editors of Sulmagundi Marionette Member, Ill-IV Cetcle Francais, III-IV Socize Latina, III-IV Gertrude sits calmly, arms folded, surveying the scene from her calm heights. At least, that's what the casual observer might note-in addition, of course, to the lovely curly hair above the calm brow. Again appearances are most deceiving! Gertrude is far from being the lonely observer, although her keen mind must at times pass judgment on our follies. But she really and truly is the best friend a person could desire,-truly charitable, generous in word and deed, never too busy to help, always appreciating a good joke, and what's more, often making them. This is a case where you will be repaid for closer scrutiny. 'Twenty-nine
