The qualities of perseverance, endurance, loyalty, and purposefulness which characterize the Army bespeak its worth. So, the Senior Class, which exhibits identical qualities, has proved itself worthy of the Queens’ tradition. I’d rather be a Senior—Being a Senior means so much! It means years of hard work, fun, and memories behind; and it means looking forward with eager anticipa- e 1 , Lrtk 7 Y tion to whatever the future holds. Some of our most vivid memories—orientation and rushing ’way back when we were Freshmen, the Sophomore breakfast given for our sister Senior Class, hard working Juniors raising money for the Jr.-Sr., the fun of stunt nights, practice teaching, the glory of our own Senior Week, and the eventful day — graduation! And we’re looking forward to exciting and useful jobs—all of us! Secretaries, teachers, nurses, Waves, Wacs, Spars — they are a few of the jobs many of us will fill. Others of us may simply trade our books and knowledge for a handsome six-foot- two”! Whatever the future holds, we’re eager for it! We leave grateful for the privilege of being Queens girls, for all that Queens has given us; and we feel that our being here has contributed in a small way to the Greater Queens College! -17- Vi Mabel Beach Most likely to succeed Alice Rose Aiken B.S.

These books are placed in the hands of companies who annually recruit outstanding students for employment. It is the only means of national recognition for graduates which is devoid of politics, fees and dues. The purpose of Who's Who is to serve as an incentive for students to get the most out of their careers, as a a means of compensation to students for what they have already done, as a standard of measurement for students, and as a recommendation to the business world. Students are selected by an impartial method, and requisites for membership are character, scholarship, leadership in extra-curricular activities, and potentiality for future usefulness to business and society. -36- Mabel Beach Peggy Benoit Eleanor Biggers I(V -37- Marjorie Imbodv s ly sponsored Directo was ear s seniors The tradition of success in every u Highlights ot t high spot in ca list.
