VIRGINIA HELEN WILMOTH sr. JEAN THE BAPTIST DRAMATIC CLUBQ-'31 Her wit was more than man, l1e'r nocence, a child. ANNE J. B. WEIR HOLY NAME Damvmric CLUBVSSO, '31 RECEPTION COMMITTEE?l31 Elegant as simplicity and warm as ecstasy. WHEN recollections of these dear old goldenfrule days return to us in years to come, our thoughts will include this pleasing Miss, whose infectious laugh and optimistic nature has brightened our Cathedral school days. She is a fluent conversationist and a devotee of dancing. Her school spirit has been evidenced in the many activities to which she devoted her time and talent. Her warmth of disposition, her original opinions and her characteristic frankness can only merit honor for her. Let the old Caesarian expression Veni, vidi, vici be your motto, Anne, and when you have conquered, may we be among the first to voice our congratulations. inf VIRGINIA possesses a somewhat duplex disposition, she is at once serene and drole. Her sparkling Wit has entertained us during many a dull moment, and her knack of deriving fun from the most serious incidents makes her a lively and desirable chum. She is quiet at times, and at others all gaiety. Her laugh is deep, and resonant with a genuine ring. We love Virginia, not for what she has accomplished, but for what she is, a universal good sport, comrade, friend and loyal mate all in one, an enigmatic, yet none the less appealing young lady.

RITA LUCILLE WALSH sr. IGNATIUS LoYoLA RECEPTION COMMITTBB-'29, '30, '31 One step at a time, but always forward. EVER studious and industrious with a com' plete absence of egotism, Rita has progressed steadily in the ways of knowledge. Her quiet, unassuming mien has won for her the esteem of her entire class. Surely her zealous efforts to complete whatever she attempts, will gain for her the future success, which she so justly merits, and which we so heartily predict for her. Since the finest gold needs burnishing, Rita's character will have to be purified by trials before it fulfills all the requirements of lofty ideals. ELIZABETH MARY WATSON CATHEDRAL A quiet tongue shows a wise head. ELIZABETH personihes the ambitious stu' dent. Never yet have we seen her waste a moment devoted to study. Little wonder then, that she has attained the title Historian of the Class. However, we must not allow our reader to get the impression of Elizabeth's being only a studious girl. On the contrary, she is always sociable and willing to oblige. May you triumph and persevere in the path of success. Ninetyfnine

IGNATIUS ATHLETIC CLUB-'30, '31 Sweet ae the thoughts that savour of content, The quiet mind is richer than a crown. UNE might say that Marion has appeared among us unobtrusively. However, to her companions she is always a reserved, friendly comrade with a certain humorous nature concealed beneath her serenity. In all that she undertakes, in studies or athletics, she manifests a steadfast determination and confidence in her own ability. Marion's latent ambition has not yet been learned, but with her unusual perseverance, she will achieve great things, pursue steadily her life work, and stop only when the highlights of merit and nobility are reached.
