Catherine Joan Grant Heart on her lips and soul within her eyes. Lovable and generous-heai ' ted, Catherine is admired by all who know her sweet nature. She is kind in everything she does and says, a quality only too rare. In all her undertakings she is a sincere and enthusiastic worker. Her capable guidance of the Welfare Club during the year 1930-1931 shows her qualities of leadership in a field of work naturally suited to her idealistic spirit. But in spite of her accomplishments along serious lines, we will remember Catherine as the light-hearted, dark-haired ingenious lass, who could enliven the dullest subject with her sparkling interpretation of it.

Marguerite Gray She dresses aye sae dean and neat, Baith decent and genteel; And then there ' s something in her gait Gars ony dress look weel. Peggy treads the halls of Teachers College in a calm fashion that fascinates one by its aloofness. There is in her manner a hint of royal bearing, a suggestion of Milady, the carriage waits. Perhaps it is the blood of bonny Scotland that lends her such a distinctive air. Her deep blue eyes are not only very attractive but also extremely clear-sighted in scientific manipulation of the microscope. Royalty and biology are an odd combination, but Marguerite welds them together into one harmonious whole. It is a habit of hers to reconcile the incongruous in a multi-colored life that flows along smoothly as well as interestingly. Camera Club ' 31; French Club ' 29; Science Club ' 30, ' 31.

Kathleen Agnes Deery Life ' s a pudding full of plums: Care ' s a canker that benumbs, Wherefore waste our elocution On impossible solution? Life s a pleasant institution, Let us take it as it comes ' . Kathleen is the ambrosia of a four-year sojourn at col- lege; she is witty, vivid, ingenious. Cheerfully and art- lessly she makes friends of the classical professors of the nation. She summers in the style of Haliburton, ascend- ing the Acropolis by moonlight and racing ' round the walls of Troy the traditional number of times. The most redoubtable classics are colored with the scarlets and ma- rine blues of her own sparkling and extraordinary adven- tures. She spends her leisure in silhouetting the faculty and collegiate body or in attending the opera. If appoint- ments were made on a basis of adventure, Kathleen would leave us far behind. Beneath her ruffled crest of gold the bewildering Kackie looks for a new universe to conquer with her pixie glance.

' And all of her dancing was, ' Life, thou art good! ' Mary Clare ' s spirit is the composite of a smile, a sigh, and a dance. Some mystery suggests itself behind that genial, disarming smile; some elusive dream prompts that sigh; some energy demands expansion in her staccato and precisioned dancing. At once enigmatical and ingenuous, Mary Clare defies character analysis. She pursues a blithe and dreamy, albeit effective, passage through the Latin grammar and the grandeur that was Rome. Her sym- pathy for the medical and legal professions, her graceful dancing, imperturbable good nature, and opinionated in- tensity dramatize the dreariest day for Mary into an excit- ing whirl of living.

Barbara Heath How praise the woman, who but know the spirit, How praise the color of her eyes, uncaug bt While they are colored with her varying thought? How her mouth ' s shape, who only use to know What tender shape her speech will fit it to? Alice found a bottle that said Drink Me on the label. When she had emptied the contents of the bottle she found herself pleasantly very tall, — tall enough to peer over the heads of men; curious, — with an insatiable thirst for knowing everything! and friendly, — with a perfect genius for friendship. She found herself an unparalleled captain for captain-ball, president of a Junior class at college, and the Editor of a year-book. Alice was aghast, but very much pleased. She determined to make the best of things, stride the world like a Colossus, and all that. She could not quite banish the look of little-girl wonder- ment from her eyes, and she discovered that she had been rechristened Barby.

Florence Isabelle Bernadette Herman Honor lies in honest toil. Tiny, softly-shaded woolen flowers clustered in a dainty bouquet — jade grapes swinging on a silver chain — a gar- den of mignonette and sweet peas scenting a pale summer twilight — these all suggest the temperament of an intense lover of the beautiful. Florence ' s artistic self captures the pleasant images of life by camera as well as hand-work, in a quiet but capable way that is characteristic of all she does. We could never quite reconcile Florence ' s turn for Mathematics with her artistic bent, but we confess she pursues both lines of endeavor effectively and charmingly.
