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

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.

BERTHA BAYARD Her ready wit and cheery smile Proclaim to all a friend worth while. Betty is the gay, friendly, vivacious type of person who makes herself beloved by all. With her ready wit and attractive smile she naturally draws friends to her, so that where Betty is, there is a happy smiling group. She is lighthearted, but not light-headed, for she has proved herself depend- able, steady, and responsible at all times. Her class- mates ' recognition of these traits can be seen by her election to club and class offices. In short, Betty is an all-round, well-balanced person, — a good scholar, a fine executive, a gay comrade, and a loyal friend.

HELEN GORDON BELL There is a fair behavior in thee. Helen ' s life is dominated by high ideals, fine dis- crimination, and a wholesome philosophy. She has shown her class how to meet a student ' s daily obliga- tions to herself and to those a round her in a charm- ing and intelligent manner. Her cheerfulness when all around her are complaining; her calmness when excitement rages everywhere; her silent enjoyment of many a situation — for these we remember and admire her. Her ability to lead has found expression in her work as section councillor and member of dance com- mittees. Helen has pursued her studies with an en- viable success which we all hope sincerely will follow every undertaking in the future.
