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.

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.

LOUISE CECILE BURKE A violet by a mossy stone, Half-hidden from the eye, Fair as a star when only one Is shining in the sky When Wordsworth was writing these lines, he might well have had Louise as his inspiration . The modest unassuming nature which endeared her to us in Fresh- man days has developed into a sedate, serene charm which we all admire. Louise is ever willing to assist in both studies and extra-curricular activities, and her skill as a pianist has aided many a class event or assembly announcement. We all envy Louise her untiring perseverance, which is bound to make her truly successful. Elementary-School Course Welfare Club; Geography Club; Music Club; Alpha Circle. DOROTHEA THERESE CALLAHAN From you, lanthe, little troubles pass Like little ripples down a sunny river. Dorothea ' s dimpling smile and hearty laugh are the expression of her sunny disposition. In fact, her in- fectious laugh was so highly appreciated when Dot played the role of the hyena at our annual Christmas party that she was called upon for a return engage- ment the following year, much to the delight of both adult and juvenile members of the audience. In ad- dition to her cheerfulness, Dorothea possesses those sterling qualities of eagerness to help and a coopera- tive spirit in any situation. We shall always re- member her as a steadfast worker for the Class of 1940 and for the Teachers College.
