Forty-six MARGARET MARY HICKEY ST. IcNATIus LOYOLA SECRETARY-'28 TREASURER-'29 ATHLETIC CLUB-'29, '30, '31 Her friendship, once determined, never swerves, Weighs 'ere it trusts, but weighs not 'ere it serves. CLEAR thinking, confident and ambitious, Margaret is the possessor of that rare gift of forming and cherishing friendships. An excellent athlete, especially adept at basketball and baseball, she has helped to hold aloft Cathedral's standards. Truly representative of a worthy Memorialite, she has shown interest and enthusiasm in every school activity, and social events have found in her a steady sup' porter. Margaret's is a noble ambition-that of becoming a nurse, and we, who know her, are sure that with her invincible spirit and ability, she will spend her life well in noble social SC I'V1CC .

YOU know her, don't you? She is the girl with the rosy cheeks and wide inquiring eyes who always seems to be doing more than she can, yet who always accomplishes what she attempts. As captain of our Varsity, she has led her team through fair and stormy weather to honest victory or noble defeat. She thinks beautiful thoughts, dreams lofty dreams, and plans brilliant exploits. There is none other like her-none other so naive, so kind, so capable of discerning the right thing. Of course you know our Anne! She has proved, while among us, that sh ecan attain the highest peak of achievement. May Excelsior, then, ever be her motto.

ETHEL CONSTANCE HENRY PUBLIC scnooi. 132 A lovely countenance is the fairest of all sights, and the sweetest harmony is the sound of the voice of her whom we love. A PERSONALITY as sparkling, vivacious and magnetic as that of our classmate, characteristically known as everyone's friend, is most difficult to describe. Her gay, optimistic outlook on life has brightened many dark, dreary hours. Yet, in spite of her numerous friends, Ethel retains the sweet simplicity that she possessed when we first inet her. As for Ethel's scholastic achievements, we can dountlessly say that she truly deserves the dignified title of senior. We are confident as we say Adieu to Ethel that her lofty ideals and ambitions will serve her as successfully in her chosen career, as they have in Cathedral High. Furlyffive

She presents a picture of fragile lovelif ness, yet she is a young woman of decided opinions and determination. Her inclinations tend toward business. Her practicability and precision will insure her ad' vancement in that element so admirably suited to her. Fcrrty-seven
