HELEN GERTRUDE CLEVELAND JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL No. 115 RECEPTION COMMITTEE-,28, '29 The pen is mightiefr than the sword. FRANK and loyal, but so reticent and un' assuming that one scarcely realizes she is there,-Helen has quietly won her way to a high place in our regard. Three years of acquainf tance have enabled us to discern her abilities. Dominant among these is her literary accom' plishments. Helen has chosen to become a teacher at the close of her high school career and knowing her as we do, we entertain no anxiety for her future pupils. She leaves Archbishop Hughes Memorial High School with the wellfwishes of all her classmates. May life smile on her and honest endeavor bring her professional preeminence.

This is a rhetorical question, for everyone from the timid Freshman to the dignified Senior recognizes the girl whose indefatigable energy has made her so prominent. Rita is justly famous for many reasons. In fact, we wonder where we ought to begin to enumerate her virtues. Her ability to amuse. heads the list. She is, besides, a thorough student, a jovial spirited girl, and above all a leader. These are only a few of the attributes applicable to her and well, indeed, has she earned them.

Twentyffour NAOMI GEGRGIA CLAPP SAINT COLUMBA SPIRES STAFE-'31 ' ARBUTUS STAEE-'31 LITERARY CLUB'-'30, '31 PRESIDENT, ART CLUB-'31 DRAMATIC CLUB-'31 ATHLETIC CLUE-'30, '31 PRESIDENT'-l29, '30, '31 RECEPTION COMMITTEE-'29, '30 A soul as full of worth, as void of pride, Which nothing seeks to show, or needs to hide. NAOMI is one of our versatile schoolmates, ' who succeeds in accomplishing the almost impossible, and whose unseliishness enables her to finish whatever she begins, whatever she seeks, she always obtains. She is a sportswoman and executive both, she possesses the accuracy of the artist and the broadfmindedness of a democrat. The cares which her varied offices imposed upon her, never marred her patience. Well filled years therefore have procured for Naomi the acclamation of unstinted praise. MARY THERESA CLEARY sr. JOSEPH, I-IARLEM DRAMATIC CLUB-'30, '31 RECEPTION COMMITTEE- 30, 31 And her face so fair Stirr'd with her dream, as rosefleaves with the air. NOT long ago we found a portrait of a typical Irish beauty, the eyes were flashing blueg within them there lay a mischievous twinkle in which we found a note of familiarity. The very gaiety of the picture made it resemble Mary. Yet, an insight into the joyousness and laugh' ter discloses something more, and infinitely liner. She is a good scholar, her girlish simplicity compels us to love her. Her optimistic cheer' fulness has been a prominent factor in the pref servation of her winning disposition. You must know her to understand. Success to you, Mary, on whatever roads you choose to travel.

Twentyfsit MARGARET A. COLGAN sr. AUGUSTINE ANNEX I C-LEE CLUB-'30, '31 Feeling or thought that was not true, Ne'e'r 'made less beautiful the blue Uncloudecl heaven of her eyes. A golden goblet filled with clear, sparkling mirth, sweetened with kindness and good will, spiced with ambition and brimming over with sincerity-such is the character of Mar' garet. Perhaps you may object that this illustration may hardly distinguish a character portraitg but one can best realize and appreciate the true personality of this girl by imagining the most desirable qualities, so effectively combined and apportioned as to produce a whole that is def cidedly lovely and lovable. ANNE FRANCES COBY SAINT PETER AND PAUL ANNEX I 'iBe silent and safe-silence never betrays you. TO us, Anne is lovable because she possesses a refined, patricianflike character. Some are prone to call it shyness, yet her remarkable serenity of demeanor, an indelible trait, would be reponsible for this error. With her more inf timate companions, she ranks as a sweet girl, unpretentiously solicitous of others' welfare. In her studies, Anne has labored long and earnestly and her efforts have certainly borne fruit, as is evident in her triumph. To you, dear classmate, we wish a lifetime of many deeds, well done. May fortune favor you as you bask in her smile.
