RUTH VALENTINE BRENNAN Let her but smile, your cares depart. Ruth is one of those fortunate people who have well-rounded personalities. Although her sociability is balanced by calm reserve, her intimate friends find her a delightful companion and an interesting conver- sationalist. She has a stimulating wit and a charming manner. To hear her tell one of her funny stories is to laugh in pure joy. Ready and willing to help when help is needed, faithful to even the smallest duty, Ruth is one upon whom we can always rely. Excellent in her work, sincere in her friendships, and broad in her understanding, she certainly merits success and happi- ness. Major: Shorthand-Typewriting Minors: Accounting, Commercial Geography Aquarium Club; Commercial Club, Geography Club AILEEN ELIZABETH BROUGHAM There is no frigate like a book To take us miles away. Aileen ' s gift for understanding and truly appreciat- ing the beauty of poetry, as well as her ability to record her impressions in discriminating words, is much admired by those not so talented as she. Not only does Aileen write well, but she also discusses her literary enthu- siasms with spirit and eloquence. Her knowledge of Francis Thompson, of Hugh Walpole, and of Maurice Walsh indicates the variety of her reading and the quality of her taste. To listen to Aileen read her favorite selections is an experience to be remembered. In addition to her love for literature, Aileen has a deep and loyal love for her friends. All in all she is an in- teresting and distinctive personality.

BARBARA LETITIA BACIGALUPO Her poise and dignity are beautiful to see. The ideal of a senior class president is well realized in the choice of the Class of 1938. With the power to lead, a willingness to follow when necessary, and a sense of humor delightfully intelligent, Barbara has brought to us great honor and glory. We marvel that she always had time to participate in the many phases of college life. As the Class of ' 38 goes loyally onward, it will maintain the ideals that its president has ever kept before it; they are but the noble qualities of her own fine character.

Marie ' s quiet grace is the outward expression of a tranquil mind which blends study and fun with calm efficiency. Life ' s many surprises elicit a little chuckle of pleasure from Marie, who regards them with candid delight. Her cheering sense of humor has banished dull care far from the paths of her friends. If the past fore- tells the future, Marie ' s ever-ready smile and even temperament will win deserving popularity. As coun- cillor, Marie has accomplished the difficult feat of being always capable yet sympathetic in representing her section. So let ' s salute Marie, whose varied gifts have made her a charming companion of our college years!

MARJORIE REGINA BURTON Would ' st see blithe looks, fresh cheeks beguile Age? Presenting our Rexie. For many reasons Regina is one of the most popular members of the Class of 1938. Many grateful friends will remember her as an encour- aging and helpful classmate. Her mind works with speed and clarity, whether she is engaged in solving an intricate accounting problem or indulging in spon- taneous repartee with her friends. Examinations and assignments have never been heavy or frequent enough to ruffle Rexie ' s calm and serene manner. At the close of her college course, Regina has a fine scholastic and social record, due to her alert mind and natural charm. Those of us who know Regina best are sure she will be as successful in teaching as she has been in college.

True indeed is the saying that good things come in small packages, for Virginia certainly embodies many good things. She has,, in addi- tion to her serious determination to do things well,, a cheery, winsome nature, and a gay, ready laugh. The many services she has rendered various committees and activities have been marked by a quiet efficiency and thoroughness which reveal her executive ability. Small though she is, her presence is never overlooked, for her personality and sociability immediately make her im- portant in any gathering.
