F ony MARY MARGARET FREEHILL PUBLIC SCHOOL 28'ANNEX No. 3 DRAMATIC CLUB-'l29, '30, '31 ATHLETIC CLUB-'30, '31 RECEPTION COMMITTEE-'29, '30, '31 Deal gently with her, world, I pray Te cares like softened shadows fall. WHEREVER Mary goes she brings a breezy cheerfulness, penetrating and contagious. Hidden under a visage of calm assurance lie unknown qualities, kindness and generosity are not the least of these for she is friendly, conf scientious, helpful and loving. She is not only endowed with dramatic ability but also with an amazing aptitude for athletics. Let us hope that the world will treat this charming, unsophisticated Miss gently, and with due gratitude, so that she may successfully achieve her ambition-teaching. MARGARET MARY GALVIN sr. PIUS'-ANNEX 2 SBCRETARY-'27, 28 A face with gladness overspreadg Soft smiles, by human kindness bred. IN Margaret we find a great rarity-the perfect combination of warmth and dignity. A pleasant humor makes her interesting, a peaceful rnien, inviting. In addition to the attributes of a delightful companion, Margaret possesses the conspicuous qualities of an able student. One discovers her ability and friendliness only by mere chance, for she is very retiring. The reason is that Margaret finds silence beautiful and, therefore, loves it, her eminent characteristic resides in a keen perception of beauty.

MARY A. FLYNN ASCENSION REc12PTioN commirrss-'28, '29 ARBUTUS srarr-'28 DRAMATIC CLUB'-J27, 28 Truth is always the strongest argument. IN argumentation-page Mary if you would witness an interesting debate. During our high school years, we have been puzzled by the complexity of her nature-womanly, and yet interspersed with many boyish qualities. Her chief characteristic is manifested daily in her desire to be different, a volition that has developed her argumentative powers. Obscurity veils her life work, yet we have a suspicion that she will either be a lawyer, or a journalist, -the criminal courts or press offices will welcome her individualistic ideas! In any event, may victory be hers. iii MARY MARGARET FLYNN 'rRANsFiouRATioN DRAMATIC CLUB-'30, '31 A good heart is better than all the heads in the world. HOW difficult it is to repress a reminiscent smile at the mention of Mary. Immediately we recall a chubby, curlyfheaded Miss, with her smiling Irish eyes ever dancing their way out of every unpleasant occurrence. Mary is as goodfnatured as she is jolly. Her classmates have found in her a helpful, agreeable companion. We are loath to part with so merry a Cathedralite, yet we feel proud in knowing that we give to the world, a gay, sweet colleen.

MANY are born to blush unseen and waste their fragrance on the desert air. This is not applicable to our Alice, who has dwelt among us without a diminution of her meritg she has not gone unnoticed. She claims as her own, an almost uncanny attribute of contributing her drole remarks just at the psychological moment. Always working for her class and school, with honest interest and ardent zeal, Alice will be happily remembered by her classmates with whom she shared the joy of happy days. W 1 l , . MARY ELIZABETH GATELY sT. PETER AND PAUL'ANNBX 1 PRESIDENT'-'29 v1cE PRESIDENTHJZ7, '28 RECEPTION COMMITTEE1'29, '30 Cheerful humor nothing can dismay Unmfjled by care from day to day. WHENEVER we think of Mary, sounds of her laughter come to our ears. Never once has a frown wrinkled her brow, for hers is a joyfloving disposition. She is one of the few proud possessors of an unchanging temperament, Even when trials seem unbearable, she retains her smile of patient endurance. Her cheerfulness radiates and buoys up the spirits of all. She may well be termed the Optimist of the class, for she has brought sunshine where gloom often prevailed. Mary, in all earnestness, we hope your sweet personality will endear you to future associates, as it has to us. I F urtyfone
