MARGARET MARY CALLAHAN The secret of success is constancy to purpose. How many people looking at quiet Peggy are aware of the business-like activity which characterizes her to those who know her? Purposeful determina- tion combined with keen intelligence has won for her a tine place on the honor roll throughout her college course. As the very capable president of the History Club in her Senior year, she has contributed much to the enjoyment and interest of that organiza- tion. Her unselfish nature and her loyalty make her a friend to cherish; her droll sense of humor and en- gaging naivete make her a friend to love.

RITA BERNADETTE BUCKLEY A merry heart doeth good like a medicine. Sparkle is the very word that describes Rita. She has made a definite niche for herself in the hearts of all who know her. Her infectious laughter and vivacious personality have gladdened us many a time. One cannot associate with Rita without catching some of her good spirits. Hers is a generous and im- pulsive nature; yet she has a goodly amount of poise and self-assurance. Always dressed in the best of taste and perfectly groomed, she presents a pleasing picture. Her ability to manage a class and to win the respect of her pupils is something to marvel at. Truly a gifted teacher, she is bound to be a success in her chosen field.

' Because of her constant and earnest efforts during her college years, we all feel certain that Jeannette will win success in her future work. Her interest in geography will, no doubt, lure her to tar lands and make of her a great traveler. Jeannette is a good student, too, of history. Perhaps it is her study of history that has developed the democratic ideals which make for a strong champion in defending whoever or whatever she thinks right. Her fine executive ability has been valuable in club activities. Jean- nette ' s cheerful face and merry laugh will long be remembered by her classmates.

PATRICIA CALLANAN Wit to persuade and beauty to delight. Pat is a constant joy to her friends for her amazingly contradictory personality. We are aware of her sincere appreciation of the best in literature, her abiding love for the finest in music, the penetrat- ing quality of her mind; and yet it is the refreshing youthfulness of her attitude toward life that sets her apart from the rest of the group. Pat has none of the false blase pose of the so-called sophisticate, but finds joy in the smallest of the day ' s activities. Her unfailing enthusiasm, her infectious gayety revealed by a humorous remark and a mirth-provoking chuckle, and particularly her evident pleasure in the society of her classmates make her the most delight- ful of companions, the most satisfactory of friends.

She has true executive ability, the ability to make others work for her and to coordinate this work into a perfectly-organized whole. Eager, alert, and full of lively and spontaneous conversation, Lucy is a much sought-after member of any group. She can always be relied on to lend a willing and able hand to any enterprise, no matter how large or how small. Her classmates will remem- ber her capable work in the offices she has held, nor will her friends fail to recall her warm interest and sincere enjoyment of their companionship.
