ANNA BURKE Zealous, yet modest ; innocent, though free ; Patient of toil ; serene amidst alarm. Athletic Club ' 26, ' 27, ' 28, (Secretary ' 26.) Anna ' s modesty conceals a rich personality. Her composure and irrepressible humor in the midst of stirring events, such as athletic games and exams, are universally envied. Her vast repertory of songs has often brightened our load of care. How do you do it, Anna? KATHERINE COLLINS And wit its honey lent, without the sting. Drama Club ' 26, ' 27; French Club ' 26, ' 27, ' 28. Who would suspect our quiet and efficient libra- rian of possessing such a rich vein of humor? Her laughing eyes might betray it, but her demureness belies it. Nevertheless, she is responsible for many a gay sally and many an outburst of song that issues from our locker room.
