. . LAM PAS . - Helen Marie Barry M.usic, when soft voices die. Vibrates in the memory. Self-Government Association C-ouncillor ' 27); Art Cluh ' 27; Athletic Association ' 27, ' 28; Drama Club ' 27, ' 28, ' 30; English Club ' 29, ' 30 (Treasurer ' 30), History Club ' 30 (Treasurer ' 30); Music Club ' 29, ' 30. Just as to the world Paderewski symbolizes piano virtuosity so Helen Barry does to Teachers College. How could we get along without Helen ' s music and her obliging nature always ready to share her talent? Her playing is not her only contri- bution to our college life, however, for she acts in a dual capacity as treasurer of two of our clubs, offices in which she proves her efficiency. Unobtrusive diligence, sincere friendli- ness, and a strong sense of duty are Helen ' s outstanding characteristics. She is an accomplished stude nt, a pleasant acquaintance, and a sympathetic companion. Mary Agnes Brennan e, in truth, is the great sun of the firma- ment. Life and poiver are scattered tvith all its beams. Athletic Association ' 28, ' 29, ' 30; Camera Club ' 30; Classical Club ' 27, ' 28, ' 29, ' 30; Geography Club ' 28, ' 29, ' 30 (Vice-president ' 29; President ' 30). Because of her indisputable intellectual power, Mary has our respect. But it is her unassuming manner, her reticence, and her unfailing good nature that gained for her our whole- hearted friendship. Her ability has been dedicated to the teaching of Latin and Geography. It is easy to predict her success in these fields of endeavor. Indeed, she has already resuscitated several pupils lost in a deluge of declensions, and she has led trembling votaries at the altar of higher education past the Cerebus of the College Entrance Examinations. Prominence in the Geography Club and the Classical Club completes a well-rounded college career.

. . LAMP AS • . Mary Margaret Anderson A cheerful spirit is what the Muses love, A soaring spirit is their prime delight. Athletic Association ' 27, ' 28, ' 29, ' 30; Camera Club ' 30; Drama Club ' 27, ' 28, ' 19, ' 30; French Club ' 28, ' 19, ' 30. We who have been with her for four years are inclined to think that Mary is a born diplomat, for while joining with enthusiastic spirit many of our class activities, she has been able to maintain a scholastic record that is the joy of our instructors. Her outlook on life, outstanding because of its sincerity and good will, has left its impression on all who have been associated with her. Procrastination is one thing that has rarely occurred in her code of living, Her industry and efficiency are inspiring, but we shall remember her best for her loyal spirit and her gracious manner. Elizabeth Frances Austin She walks serene, so calm and unafraid. Athletic Association ' 28, ' 29, ' 30; Camera Club ' 30; Science Club ' 29, ' 30, Spanish Club ' 27, ' 28, ' 29, ' 30 (Vice-president ' 29; President ' 30). If the officers of the various clubs were chosen for their appropriate appearance, the Titian-haired and blue-eyed Elizabeth would never have been president of the Spanish Club. Elizabeth ' s efficient leadership in that club we cannot forget, but we think it is well for S IV that she did not confine her activities wholly to that circle. As a center on the basket- ball team in her junior and senior years, she won the envy of her classmates. Moreover her scholastic record is com- mendable. Lacking the traditional fiery temper of the red- hai red, she is always calm, congenial, and ready to show true class spirit.

. - LAM PAS Marie Agnes Broderick ' ' And still they gax ed, and still the wonder grew That one small head could carry all she knew. Athletic Association ' 28, ' 29, ' 30; Camera Club ' 29, ' 30 (Vice-president ' 30); Classical Club ' 27, ' 28, ' 29, ' 30; Drama Club ' 27, ' 30; Geography Club ' 29, ' 30; Science Club ' 30. Marie attracts us by her twinkling blue eyes, her cheery smile, and her sunny disposition which ever dispels gloom. Always ready for anything and everything, she is an ideal companion. It seems almost paradoxical to think of petite Mane expounding the learned theories of Pythagoras to fu- ture generations; yet, small as she is, her mathematical mind grasps and solves the most intricate problems with remark- able ease. No matter what the task, — be it the provmg of a geometric proposition, the taking part in a Plautus play, or the developing of films behind the closed doors of the science office, she remains the same unruffled and jovial Marie. Mary Joan Burnett The mind, the music breathing from her face. The heart whose softness harmonized the ivhole. Self-Government Association (Councillor ' 28); Lampas Staff; Art Club ' 27, ' 28; Camera Club ' 29, English Club ' 29, ' 30 (President ' 30); French Club ' 28, ' 29; History Club ' 30; ■Welfare Club (Motor Corps ' 28, ' 29, Secretary ' 29). A charming graciousness and dignity of manner, a sweet seriousness and earnestness of disposition, and a delightful sense of humor characterize our lovely editor-in-chief. All SIV admires Mary ' s scholarship and her ability to perform successfully whatever task she undertakes, whether it be guiding the affairs of the English Club, or guiding Georgi- anna through a maze of traffic. We wonder at the efficiency with which she has carried out the ideas and plans so vital for the success of the Lampas, and we love the whole-hearted spirit of cooperation with which she participates in any class affair. Those of us who have been so fortunate as to gain her friendship will ever treasure it, knowing that it is upheld by splendid ideals of sincerity, sympathy, and loyalty.
