Theresa Bergamini Thou of an independent mind. With soul resolved, with soul resigned. Theresa is quiet, sincere, and hard working. Few of us know her well, but those who do have found in her an interest in people and an understanding of them that is remarkable, and an ever-present dry humor. She is steady and faithful in her work, always giving her best in her tranquil, undemonstrative way. With her comfortable, sympathetic nature, Theresa will make an understanding teacher.

' 30, ' 31; F rench Club ' 29, Marjorie Anne Bosher God gave you the soul of a gypsy That longs at midnight to stand On a black hill top by a Romany fire With a violin in your hand. During our wearied hours it is Mrs. Montmorency Throckmorton, the fiendish Squire McGinnis, the editor of the Whosis, or Mary Reid ' s collaborator in the finer shades of icthyology who undertakes our entertainment with unwearied efforts. From every character the brown child eyes of the joyous Margie, playwright and poet, look upon us and enchant us. One of the aspiring, the more promising, and the most charming among us, she wings an intellectual and amazing path toward Parnassus glory. You can ' t do that, say the uninitiated to Margie ' s spirit. Oh, can ' t I? is the reply, and thereupon Margie wears quaint bonnets in the street car or presents successfully her own melodrama. Marjorie is captivating. And she is one of us. Class Secretary ' 30; Lampas Staff; Athletic Association ' 28, ' 29, ' 30, ' 31; Music Club ' 29; Welfare Club (Ways and Means ' 30). Twenty

ta iff Katherine Josephine Barry God grant that I may live upon this earth And jace the tasks which every morning brings, And nevei lose the glory and the worth Of humble service and the simpler things. Kay is famous for bridges. The Lampas Bridge of this year, the Science Club Bridge of last year, and the Bridge-tea in our Junior Week were all successfully chair- manned by the competent Katherine. We would gladly recommend her as an efficiency expert to any business firm, but we know that her quiet efficiency will be just as useful in the classroom. It has helped her all through college, as one may see by looking at her list of activities. To each of them she cheerfully and generously gave more than her share of time and energy; yet she had plenty of time to keep her scholarship far above average and to enjoy plenty of the dancing she loves.

Sara Frances Bazoll She had an understanding with the years; For always in her eyes there was a light As though she kept a secret none might guess — Some confidence that Time had made her heart. In a world overcrowded with people who want to be something, it is refreshing to meet a girl who always wants to do not anything, but many things. Does the Science Club want unusual appetizing refreshments, or the bowling team a high score, or the class support in one of its numerous activities? Sara is ready with a new kind of punch, or a number of spares, or a willing subscription to whatever the cause may be. Yet we feel that we were wrong in calling her a girl in our first sentence, for there is in her demeanor a stately womanliness that never is quite dispelled by the most exciting game. In the depth of her dark eyes lies a light that is centuries old, that will ever shine from the heart of one who has learned not only the art of good living but the secret of sympathetic loving.

Mary Catherine Burke Maiden of the laughing eyes, ' Primrose-kittled, winged, free, Virgin daughter of the skies — Joy — whom gods and mortals prize, Share thy smile with me! All the world ' s a stage, and all the men and women merely players. Mary has, of course, played but a short part as yet; the curtain has not yet run down on her first act, but already she has shown promise of a brilliant finale which can result only in glowing triumph. Mary ' s life is not tragedy, nor yet farce. Rather it is a comedy in which the serious is so sweetly blended with the gay that one is never sure what the next moment will bring forth. Will Blossom be her elfin self, with a gleam of mockery in her eye, with her words tinged with the clever, keen edge of satire? Or will she move the audience well nigh to tears by the sweet pathos which sometimes characterizes her? At any rate Mary, with a wisdom beyond her years, will produce something of sterling worth for which we watch with interest.

The multitude of personalities which are Angel seem to have in common only a firm resoluteness, a persistent light-heartedness, and — inconsistently enough — a calm se- riousness. She is a fine student, painstaking, ambitious, and clear-thinking. To her, mathematics is a game. But her mind is not restricted to school work; she is broadened by Ford Hall lectures, versatile reading, and an eager interest in life and people. It is not mere flattery to concede to her true intellectual curiosity. Yet she is a delightful friend, gay, sympathetic, and enthusiastic. She is one of those charming few who can either talk of Something or chat of Nothing. She can be, on occasion, either honey dew or bread and radishes.
