MARGARET PATRICIA O'CONNOR sT. THOMAS THE APOSTLE GLEE CLUB-'28, '29, '30, '31 ATHLETIC CLUB-'30, '31 Ojj'icious, innocent, sincere, Of every friendless name the friend. REFLECTING on our years at Cathedral, we shall never fail to visualize Connie in the role of a helper and a true friend. She has always been a loyal and devoted participant in practically all of Cathedrals activities. Margaret's never failing ability to sacrifice pleasure for duty has merited for her the esteem of all who know her. Now that our four happy years of association are swiftly drawing to a close, Margaret, we reluctantly bid you farewell and heartily wish that you may achieve the same bright laurels in the future as you have in the past.

HAVING spent but two years in our ranks, Mary has accredited to herself the reputaf tion of being the possessor of a dual personality. Scholastically inclined she has distinguished herself in all subjects. Outside the classroom, Mary is a vivacious enthusiast in all extraf curricula activities. The clubs that claimed her as a member, commend her ability to further their respective interests. Although our conservative Mary has not even whispered her future plans, we are confident that she will make a decision between art and literature. Seventyninc

Seventy-eight DOROTHY A. OCONNOR ST. JOHN CHRYSOSTOM1?-.NNEX 2 TREASURER-'28 sEcRETAaY-'29 True happiness consists not in the multitude of friends, but in the worth and choice. DOROTHY is a young lady of unusual poise, and all that characterizes the lady of culture. She is a lover of line arts, and revels in the compositions of distinguished authors. She possesses confidence in herself, and the courage of her personal convictions. Life's gifts will most surely be hers for the asking, for her indomitable heart and strength of purpose will win her many victories. Success will be yours, Dorothy, and happiness, for in thy own heart there rests the means and the quality of not being thwarted. MARY CAROLINE O'BRIEN SAINT COLUMBA ARBUTUS STAFF-'31 LITERARY CLUB'l31 DRAMATIC CLUB'l28, '30 RECEPTION COMMITTEE-'28, '30 Happiness consists in the multiplicity of agreeable consciousness. THE day the piece of heaven fell from out the sky and became the Emerald Isle, was a fortunate one for our Alma Mater, for from that land have come many of her best students, her little Irish colleens. Among the treasures thus obtained is Mary, with her ever present Irish humor. Mary will some day burst into eloquence and write a masterpiece which will adequately describe her native land, for she is one of our outstanding literateurs. Peering into the future we see her seated outside a little cabin in ErinAher haven of rest and happiness.

THOMAS Ti-na APOSTLE sP1REs sTAFF4'31 LITERARY CLUB-'30, '31 PRESIDENT-Q28 V1CE'PRESIDENT-l27, '28 Genteel in personage, conduct and equipage, Noble by heritage, genemus and free. WE possess a secret which we believe we are free to disclose now at graduation time. Perhaps some have wished to probe into the reason for Mary's successes. , She is liked by all because of her unselfishness and broadfmindedness. Never too timid to state and uphold her opinions, Mary has proven herself invaluable to her class, especially in history. We dare anyone to name a day that she did not receive perfect marks in all her lessons. There never was such a time, for nearest to Mary's heart is faithfulness to her scholastic pursuits. - Virtue is its own reward, but we believe Mary's will evoke many more compensations. CATHERINE MARGARET O'ROURKE - RBSURRECTION ATHLETIC CLUB-'30, '31 How poor they are who have not patience, What wound did ever heal but by degrees? CATHERINE'S patient, noiseless ways are truly sweet, but sweeter still is the calmness of her countenance, on which no shade of an' noyance has thus far appeared. Perhaps her happy nature has influenced such external serenity. Her calmness has soothed us in hours of dull routine, yet soothed us more in moments of perturbation. We sincerely hope that time will not alter the even tenure of her ways, so that her career will be as meritorious as her life has been in Hughes Memorial.
