ELEANOR H. MCDONALD CATHEDRAL A friend may well be reckoned the master' piece of nature. SHY and reticent, yet what profound thoughts be in Eleanor's fertile mind! Throughout her four years among us, we have looked upon this fair girl as a source of perfect benevolence, a model of many virtues and a treasure of youth and charm. Her quiet humor has ever been appreciated but her versatile character is most clearly known to those who have the honor of her acquaintance. Truly, she is a woman nobly planned, Born to comfort and command. ELLEN TERESA MC DONNELL sA1NT JOHN rns BVANGELIST DRAMATIC CLUB-'27 ART CLUB-'31 Pleasant features, hair so brown, On whose face there is no frown. ALWAYS optimistic and cheerful, thus we find Ellen even on the darkest day. When others seem steeped in despair, she plays the part of a wise Pollyanna. We are drawn to her not only because of her quiet charming manner but also because she possesses a strong, admirable character. Although we know Ellen as a girl of few words yet her brevity does not bespeak a lack of knowledge, for she is an untiring student. In parting, Ellen, may we wish you every success and many bright joys for your future. Sxxtyfzhree
