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

A TOUCH of spontaneity, a sparklof innate humor and a flash of understanding are all blended into the charming and altogether lovable personality of Mary. Yet this joyous spirit which has characterized her has not proved a deterrent to her scholastic pursuits.

GLEB CLUB JEAN DICKSON HOLY TRINITY Mildest of manners and kindest of hearts. EAN came to us not heralded by the blare of trumpets, but with a shyness that has never deserted her in the time that has elapsed since our first acquaintance. She is a girl who daily attends to her tasks with as zealous promptif tude that is part of her character. Taking her past achievements as a criterion, we have no doubt that she will become a great credit to her Alma Mater even when time has gently effaced memories of high school days. l HELEN AGNES DONNELLY OUR LADY or soLAca-ANNIzx 1 ATHLETIC CLUB-'31 May that smile like sunshine Dart into many 0. sinless heart. IT is rather difficult to state definitely what magnetism attracts us to Helen, but the answer lies in her individuality. While her scholastic tasks are done earnestly, we do not associate Helen with being a typical student, but we rather wish to remember her as extreme- ly witty. Her humor has a stimulating effect on her acquaintances. She ives evidence of a suppressed penchant for athletics and so we do not hesitate to say that she will become a successful physical culture directress. May success be yours, Helen! Thxrtyfthree
