MARIE VERONICA TAYLOR f ARIE ' S most notable trait is her change of ex- 11 pression, without transition, from preternatural seriousness to a human, humorous smile. She concen- trates when the business is serious but she can relax. The concentration is fruitful but one suspects that she does not take her splendid record too seriously. For her, classroom material serves merely as food for reflection. Marie often remarks her preference for mathematics because its conclusions are certain . I might quote an eminent authority on that; he con- cedes that there are indefinables ... in applied mathe- matics; it might possibly be shown that Euclid ' s axioms are false. Marie has competence, evident when she gives a report at an I.R.C. meeting or a welcoming address to new Honor Society members. Her immediate future is to be spent in an elementary classroom; one is gratefully certain that at least one group of children in this sad era will be excellently taught. 65

THE JUNIORS NOW that we were jtiniors at last, it did not take us long to discover that being an upperclassman has its advantages. Academic Order took on a new meaning (sometimes) ; the freshmen were our little sisters, and we drew upon our experience to comfort them during initiation and first mid-terms; at last we had one whole ten-thirty a week, and on Sundays did not have to be in until ten. 66
