GERTRUDE MARIE AHEARN Such a one as everyone should wish to be. The many offices Gertrude has held prove that she is one of the most popular members in the class. As an executive she is poised and dignified; as a student, earnest and ambitious; as a friend she is all one could wish. A casual acquaintance with her arouses the desire for a more intimate friendship. Her read - wit and her hearty laugh have helped smooth many an awkward moment. Gertrude will succeed in whatever she undertakes, not only be- cause of her ability but also because of her gracious personality.

MARGARET THERESA AIETA Trusty, dusky, vivid, true — Peggy is so filled with the joy of living that it shines out on her mobile face and from her expressive, sparkling eyes. Her carefree spirit is balanced by the happy faculty of realizing that there is a time and place for fun, and a time and place for work. The fact that she has duties to fulfill never detracts from her enjoyment of the moment, and yet those duties are always carried out to a perfect conclusion. Her gay little laugh is often heard from some merry group. For her taste in clothes, her skill in art, and her so- ciability, Margaret has gained a permanent place in our memories.

ELEANOR TWOMEY LUCY CONDON BERTHA BAYARP « = ««-, Mtt - ,BSMSI MARIE MICHAELS SENIOR 5 Seldom do we have occasion to praise ourselves. However, we may justly give ourselves credit for the selection of class officers for our Senior year. Our president, Eleanor Twomey, is an executive who leads without being officious; who never makes a request unless she plans to share the labor entailed; who co- operates completely not only with the other class officers but with the leaders of other groups. She strives to meet the demands of all, to satisfy the class without displeasing others. She has not labored in vain, for we all agree that she has been a gracious executive with charming personality, and also a sincere friend to us all. Many of the memories of our Senior year are brilliant and lasting because of Eleanor ' s tireless zeal. It is true that Eleanor could not have accomplished so much this year with- out the assistance of the other class officers. The vice-president, Lucy Condon, has proved to be not only an able helper but an efficient substitute during the second semester. As a support to these two leaders, Betty Bayard, class treasurer, has devoted much time and effort to her work. Financial matters always present problems. Few of us could have coped with these difficulties in the calm, effective, business- like manner that was Betty ' s. Our secretary, Marie Michaels, has also been an ardent assistant in leading the class. To Marie we entrusted the task of keeping our class records. She has not disappointed us. In years to come, we shall look back on our happiest year, our Senior Year, with fond memories and sincere appreciation of the valuable work of our class leaders. Twenty-two

CONCETTA CLARE ALIBRANDI Love, sweetness, goodness, in her person shined So clear as in no face with more delight. No one who ever knew Cetta failed to admire her for her high ideals and her unswerving devotion to them. Her classmates cherish her tor the cheerful ness with which she meets each day ' s tasks, her unfailing readiness to aid in all activities, social or scholastic, and her gentle and gracious demeanor. She has shown her great love for music in her enthusi- astic participation in the work of the Music Club, and her deep appreciation of literature in her active part in the English Club. We can think of no higher tribute to Cetta than the fact that she has never made an enemy, nor ever lost a friend.

Behind Ann ' s quiet and unassuming manner are ability and perseverance. A good worker, Ann never spares herself in her desire to do everything well. She has diligence which inevitably brings success. To balance these serious characteristics is a love of fun which makes her a pleasant companion. Generos- ity is outstanding in Ann, and she never hesitates to offer much-desired material to one who has missed it. Throughout her years at Teachers College, she has shown herself proficient in whatever she has under- taken. Her ability is shown notably in her Spanish Club activities. Though Ann is a tiny girl, she has fine qualities, which will stand her in good stead in the future. Special-Class Course El Circulo Cast lano (Secretary ' 36); Welfare Club. Twenty-four
