Tlufty-two HELEN MARIE CURTIN sAiNT Auousrma GLEE CLUBfl29, '30, '31 1uzcEPTioN COMMITTEE-'30, '31 Dark hair, dark eyes-not too dark to be deep, And full of feeling, yet enough to glow with fire when angered. HELEN is one who excels in many fields: she is a musician, a student, and athletefwithf al the possessor of a charming personality. Truly above all, she exemplifies the words of the poet, The sweetest music is that of the human voice. Nevertheless, our jenny Lind does not def vote herself exclusively to singing. She is a scholar of marked ability, as her record shows, leading chiefly in mathematics and the languages. Surely one endowed with so many gifts will not disappoint us but rather will carve out for herself an important niche in the world. MARGARET MARY DAVIS SACRED HEART DRAMATIC CLUB-'31 aEcEPT1oN COMMITTEE l29 Soft is the music that would charm forever, The flower of sweetest smell is shy and lowly. SHE is, to all appearances, a shy young lady, but even a hasty insight into her real nature, clearly manifests her vivacity. Margaret is one of our few modern girls, who still retains ye old habit of blushing but her modernistic tendencies are displayed when she laughs with the rest of us at her doing so. Far hack in her very active cerebrum, there is a corner of wit which has an uncommon facilf ity of presenting itself, always at the correct moment. Sincerely and regretfully do we wish her Farewell, terminating four happy years of amiable companionship. Jwllflw aff ffrffelf
