MARGUERITE PIERCE BARRY Naive prettiness, Demure charm. Lovable Peg! The possessor of a perfect disposition, Peg has won the hearts of the entire class. Her natural sweetness blended with her womanly charm makes her popu- larity universal. Whether as a teacher, a student, or a classmate Peg ' s pleasing personality is enjoyed by everyone. Her gay laughter and her two pretty dimples lightened many a serious gathering; her wil- lingness to help aided many a social activity. For sunny hours of fun and frolic, for enjoyable hours of work and study. Marguerite has proved herself to be a valuable member of our class.

NAOMI BAZOL Heeding truth alone, and turning From the false and dim If you were to name qualities that would assure suc- cess in life, you would probably mention a high idealism, a determination to win, and a keen sense of humor. Now, for such a combination, you need look no farther than our Naomi. One has only to see her directing the work of youngsters in camp, at a neighborhood center, or in the classroom, to recognize her unusual ability. She has still another quality requisite for success — a capacity for true and lasting friendship.

ELAINE HARRIET BARKIN In thy dark eyes ' splendor, Where the warm light loves to dwell What was that? A lovely head is tilted in a ques- tioning attitude, dark brows contract in a thoughtful frown, and Elaine is in pursuit of some elusive bit of information. Keen observation and careful regard for detail have brought Elaine enviable success, not only as a student but also as Business Manager of our Lampas. Her efficiency might awe us if it were not coupled with unruffled good-nature and warm friendliness.

DOROTHY KATHERINE BECKER Her words are clad with wisdom ' s majesty; Her words do show her wit incomparable. As an antidote to cynicism we prescribe Dorothy. Her absolute sincerity, her appreciation of the best in everyone, her warm sympathy and cheery wit combine to banish gloom. Dot is the Good Samaritan of our class, ever ready to help anyone in distress. Her sparkling sense of humor is shown by her clever witticisms and amusing couplets. This humor is the leaven of a rich, busy life. A wide range of interests and an unusual versatility result in making Dot simultaneously a clever dressmaker, a sports-lover, a voracious reader, an entertaining poet, a successful student, and an excellent librarian.

AGATHINA LUCY di BELLA Smile awhile; and while you smile Another smiles, and soon There ' s miles and miles oj smiles, And life ' s worth while because you smile. Tina is one of those rare and fortunate individuals endowed with the gift of doing everything well. Whether it is as an efficient editor of the Spotlight, as a serious dramatic actress in Mary of Scotland, or as a demure cherub in the Art Pageant, Tina plays her part with honors. Her more serious qualities of steadfastness, perseverance, and good common sense are balanced by her effervescent humor. The spark- ling vivacity that brightens all her tasks makes her a co-worker as pleasant as she is competent. Tina will undoubtedly find the road to success and travel on it continually throughout life.
