Patricia Ann Wolfe Pat has acquired a faith in God which never lessens. Though she is quiet in manner, the integrity which rules her life and her high ideals have earned our sincere respect. She works hard at all she does, but her great love is being outdoors, especially if a picnic or ten- nis game is in the offing. Grace Phoebe Wooster Grace, as her name implies, showed the quiet, unassuming graciousness which made her invaluable as a class hostess. She has served well as she shared in the religious life of the Seminary and this year she broadened her interests by voluntarily teaching Sunday School at Christ Church. Dorothea Alice Youngberg Dorrie. with her ringing laugh and thought- ful gaze, has a great love and understanding for music and poetry. She enjoys nature and outdoor life and feels much at home there. Dorrie showed literary ability by her work both on the Shield and Ascent, and her desire to understand people enhances her hope of be- coming a writer. i

1 Eleanor Gertrude Walker Ellie had this year, as Service League Chair- man, an opportunity to express her interest in helping those less fortunate than she is. With her ability to lead others by example and her friendly cheerfulness, we can see her becoming the kind of nurse whose warm and wholesome good humor will have a beneficial effect on others. Dorothea Helen Weiss Dorrie has many talents. She both plays the piano and sings well, has had leading roles in several plays and is a fine scholar. We were often impressed by her intelligent and mature comments in class. In spite of her many activi ties, Dorrie still has time to relax and she does love a party. Margaret Ann Wilson Peg ' s love of fun found expression in her novel decorations for the Christmas Carnival. If chairman of a committee, she could get others to co-operate and if a member of one, she was both helpful and willing. Peg s enthu- siastic participation in sports and dramatics and her qualities of leadership resulted in her being selected as key girl.

MAY DAY, 1955 Each year that we participated in the May Day Ceremony, our thoughts turned to our own May Day. For some of us that anticipa- tion began twelve years ago and has sharpened each year. It is this anticipation, growing stronger each year, that makes May Day so meaningful. Our May Day was wonderful, just as we had pictured it would be for so long. The dancing seemed the most colorful and expres- sive ever done. Sandra carried the flag, lead- ing the court dressed in dotted swiss dresses and carrying baskets of flowers. Nancy placed the crown on Anne ' s shining head, and follow- ing the tradition, all knelt to pay homage to our Queen. We remembered how carefully we had chosen the Flag Bearer, Maid of Honor, and May Queen, considering who best char- acterized the ideals of Annie Wright, and we were proud of our choices. May Day has long been a symbol of spring, and the newly-planted rhododendron beds gave evidence of this. It is a time of year when old friendships are renewed and alumnae return, remembering their own May Day. Yes, this experience was richer because of our expecta- tions, and it will always be one of the high- lights of our last year here. MAY DAY, 1943 Left to Right: Betsy Gardner.
