LAMPAS 1936 Ruth Veronica Bailey Some say thy grace is youth and gentle sport. Vivacity plus! Thus we think of Rutli, the girl who mixes capability and frivolity in the correct measure to make the all- round girl. She never permits herself a dull moment, and her energetic nature is always busy with some activity, social or scholastic. Serious moments she has, but far more familiar and pleasant are her moments of bubbling good humor and fun. Lightly will she go along life ' s path- way, making the journey brighter with her laughter.

Anna Beatrice Bayard A sense of humor is the salt of life. It is not in Anna ' s nature to be serious long over anything. She is full of zest for living. But beneath her carefree exterior is a reflective mind, of which we have all been aware. Her happy face would always dispel the gloom which might sometimes have fallen around us. No problem how- ever difficult could ruffle Anna ' s calm or cast a shadow on her disposition. She is not talkative, — but when she speaks it is worth while to listen. ' We have a cordial, understanding friend in Anna.

936 LAMPAS Rose Angelina Aversa A lovely being, scarcely formed or moulded, A rose tvith all its siveetest leaves yet folded. Rose is so quiet and gentle for the most part, that only on rare occasions were her classmates allowed to raise the curtain, as it were, and see and appreciate the spark of nature ' s fire that is her inheritance. Witness Rose ' s adept playing of the violin with the College Ensemble at the Tea in Collins Hall and at Commencement in the Courtyard; also her lovely solos at he Cercle Frangais. We who are not so gifted musically admired her talent. Again she gained our admiration when, without fuss or fanfare, she proffered the French girls an original poem, so fine in Gallic fluency, so pointed in humor, and so poignant with pathos as- to Warrant its being read at the Cercle Frangais, where it achieved for its author the high praise — C ' est tres bien fait, ca!

Demure Mary has given ample evidence that no task is too great for her small self to undertake. She proceeds with her work joyfully and serenely, completing it well; and she will be the ideal kindergarten teacher. Quiet and industrious, she is con- tented to be in the background, but she is so vital that her presence is always felt. Her calmness is that of still waters, and her brightness that of full many a gem.

936 LAMPAS Anne Berkowitz Who mixed reason with pleasure. And luisdom tvith mirth. Fortune has indeed smiled upon Anne. Slie was born with a talent for art and for singing; she has acquired proficiency in flute-playing and tap-dancing. But Anne has kept these talents in her treasure chest, to be brought forth only on special oc- casions. She has all the marks of an ex- cellent student, a first-rate athlete, and a conscientious worker. As president of the Athletic Association she sets the standard to the large club-membership for track and basket-ball. As a member of committees of importance she has done much to ensure the success of teas, plays, and dances. Particularly in the dances has Anne shown us that her social life, too, is not neglected.

Eleanor Margaret Bogan ' ' In framing an artist, art hath thus To make some good, hut others to exceed. Eleanor is the class artist both in talent .md temperament. She draws and paints exquisitely, and oh! the clothes she de- signs and makes! Her accomplishments make us admire her, and, in an affectionate way, envy her. Eleanor ' s appearance and personality are as charming as one of her own drawings — sweet, subtle, and serene. She knows what she wants to accomplish and just how to carry out her plans. Ac- cordingly, she is successful in everything she attempts. No wonder, then, that Eleanor gains the respect as well as the sincere affection of all those with whom she comes in contact. Major: Art.
