DORIS BLOTCHER The languor and calm Of the unruffled sea On a windless day. Haste makes waste, might be Doris ' s motto. Her most noticeable characteristics are utter sincerity and a calm unhurried manner. Yet in her deliberate way, Doris accomplishes more than others of us could even do with all our excited scurrying about. An original and interesting way of expressing herself has stood her in good stead in the field of art. It has also had much to do with the gathering of the large group of friends by whom Doris is surrounded, and with whom we join whole- heartedly in good wishes for her future success. Elementary-School Course Welfare Club; Art Club; Literary Club; Alpha Circle. MAE DOROTHY BORTNICK Rolling sand dunes, Peaceful seas, Twinkling stars over all. Mae ' s sincerity endears her to us. Her thoughtful ex- pression and serious manner serve to make her spon- taneous laughter more delightful. Her friendship can always be depended upon, for she is always present in time of need with a tactful and sympathetic word. Her diminutive stature and the charm of her personality lend truth to the statement that Nature puts her finest incense into the tiniest of receptacles. Beneath the surface serenity is the Mae who has contributed so much good nature and cheer to our college days.

EVA BARNET Pine needles Making a gentle brown carpet Under softly rustling trees. Eva has always been very quiet, very unassuming, yet with a steadiness of character which won our confidence and regard. No one has absorbed knowledge more eagerly or enthusiastically than she. She is a sincere, valued friend, and has a keen intellect and dependable earnestness. No matter what the task, she remains unruffled and poised. The modesty of her quiet nature is felt at all times. Of a truly co-operative nature, she was always ready to aid in college affairs, to serve where her services were needed. We can only say that the little children who will come under her influence will be very fortunate. Kindergarten-Primary Course Welfare Club; Art Club; Music Club. MARY ADELINE BAROSSI Madeira linen And glowing candles Casting rosy light. If you need a friend, one who will lend helpful notes, explain difficult problems, or listen sympathetically to your tales of woe, your search is over. Mary is the ideal chum. If you wish further information in this connection, consult Rhoda. She and Mary have been inseparable ever since that day when, as bewildered Freshmen, they started their pursuit of higher education. Although her dexterity in typewriting and her facility in getting Balance Sheets to balance are really remarkable, we can pay Mary this tribute — she has always been willing to share her knowledge with anyone less fortunate than she.

MARGARET ELEANOR BOWEN The white and gold And cool green Of daisies in a park. Eleanors manner is always quiet and gentle, her ex- pression pleasant yet thoughtful. Although ordinarily she is very serious and somewhat of a realist, now and then a flashing smile reveals the happy, optimistic side of her nature. Friendly and sympathetic, she immediately puts people at their ease. Her graciousness is ac- centuated by her gentle voice, like Cordelia ' s — an excellent thing in woman. Kindergarten-Primary Course Welfare Club; Athletic Association,- Music Club. MARIE EILEEN BOWERS Delia Robbia cherub; Dainty flowered chintz At a sunny window. Petite, pert, piquant Eileen has won our wholehearted admiration for her remarkable artistic ability. Her delightful posters with their drawings of cuddly babies and charming children have been seen in the halls of the college since her Freshman day c , and have always been greeted with smiles of appreciation. Not only in her artistic work, but in everything she undertakes, Eileen has won success through talent, perseverance, and genu- ine interest in the task at hand. We shall long remember Eileen for her sparkling humor and never-failing cheer- fulness.
