Lampas 1929 Catherine Cecilia Curran A smooth and steadfast mind, Gentle thoughts and calm desires. Athletic Association ' 27; Camera Club ' 29; Drama Club ' 29. Catherine is the mathematical genius of S IV. Th e problem which she cannot solve is yet to be found. However, she is the most unpretentious one among us; she always allows others to have first chance, and then, when all have given up the problem, she modestly offers a correct, straightforward, and apparently simple solution. Thus, on many an occasion has Catherine saved the reputation of the class. In regard to her personality, all we need to say is that she is just as sweet and loving as she looks. She has been blessed with a good sense of humor and a remarkably friendly and even disposition. For one so well qualified in every way, we can foresee only success. Virginia Marjorie Dente And still they ga%ed, and still the wonder grew, That one small head could carry all she kneiv. Art Club ' 26, ' 27, ' 29; Athletic Association ' 26, ' 27, ' 28, ' 29; Camera Club ' 29; Drama Club ' 27; Science Club ' 28, ' 29. Virginia may be unassertive and quiet, but when the occasion arises, she displays innate ability and a deep fund of knowledge. She is one of the versatile members of our class, her interests extending from art to athletics, thence to mathe- matics, and even to tests and measurements. Her artistic posters keep the world informed of activities in our class, and we realize that our success has been due in no small part to her work. She has been an excellent student, and we feel sure that she will make a good little teacher, as one member of our faculty has predicted.

Lampas 1929 Genevieve Frances Campbell And her dark eyes — how eloquent! Ask what they would, ' twas granted. Art Club ' 26; Athletic Association ' 26; Classical Club ' 28, ' 29; Drama Club ' 26; English Club ' 28, ' 29. In Gen we have the happy but unusual combination of beauty and brains. Her sparkling brown eyes, her glisten- ing white teeth, her wealth of gorgeous dark hair, — they are subjects for a poet ' s pen. Gen is blessed with a keen intel- lect that enables her to earn an A with minimum effort. She always has displayed keen intellectual power in her special field, English literature. All who come in contact with her admire her for those indefinable qualities which have earned for their happy possessor the title of good sport. She has amiability, charm, poise, chic, — in short, personality. Because everyone likes a person with a fund of interesting and original comments, Genevieve is always refreshing. Mary Agnes Consodine So well to know Her own, that what she wills to do or say Seems wisest, virtuousest, discreetest, best. Class President ' 29; Welfare Club (Third Vice-president ' 28); Athletic Association ' 28, ' 29; Drama Club ' 27, ' 28, ' 29; French Club ' 27, ' 28, ' 29 (Vice-president ' 28); Spanish Club The ideal of a senior class president is well fulfilled in the choice of the Class of 1929. With a scholarship record un- surpassed, with a power to lead, with a willingness to follow- when necessary, and with a sense of humor delightfully in- telligent, Mary has brought to us all the glory that is ours. We marvel to find that she always has time to participate in the many phases of college life. Her creative ability has ever been at the command of our college and of our class. Under Mary ' s wise and noble leadership, S IV has done great things. And as the Class of ' 29 goes loyally onward, it will carry on the ideals that its president has ever kept before it; they are but the magnified qualities of her own lovely character.

Lampas 1929 Mildred Ann Doherty Whose wit in the combat, as gentle, as bright, Ne ' er carried a heart stain axvay on its blade. Class Treasurer ' 27; Athletic Association ' 26, ' 27, ' 28; Classical Club ' 29; Drama Club ' 26, ' 27; Spanish Club ' 26, ' 27, ' 28, ' 29. Who has not walked into the locker room to find a group of girls convulsed in mirth and Mildred in their midst, regal- ing them with some amusing account of an incident which, told by another, would be banal and uninteresting? However, her priceless gift of wit is never allowed to become at all satirical, for she is too fond of people to think of hurting them. Beneath her gay and carefree exterior lie sincerity, loyalty, kindness, — in fact those traits which go to make a real friend. She is deeply and sincerely interested in her class- mates, and since this is the true road to popularity, Mildred is popular. Clare Regina Donohoe It is good To lengtht to the last a sunny mood. Athletic Association ' 26, ' 27, ' 28, ' 29; Camera Club ' 28, ' 29 (Vice-president ' 29); English Club ' 28, ' 29 (Treasurer ' 29). Whatever she does, she does willingly and with a smile. It is this quality of cheerfulness, even when she is confronting difficulty, that Clare ' s classmates most admire in her. Clare is a genuine lover of literature, an enthusiastic camera fan, and a skillful base-ball pitcher. Yet, she has a calm, dignified air of detachment. Clare never seems to hurry or worry, but she always manages to top the list when her scholarship is put to a test. She has shown a lively interest in class and club activities and has been in every way an ideal classmate. Won ' t you tell us how to cultivate your envied poise and sweetness, Clare?
