One's pen, weary with four years of toil, takes on new vigor at the very thought of writing about Dot. Blessed Dot-four years of living with her, working with her, playing with her, leave a glorious trail of pictures in our minds-Dot, curled up, lost in a book-Dot eagerly telling an adventure, all unaware of self-Dot, chin cupped in hand. thinking deep, deep tho'ts, with far-away eyes-Dot in class, giving easy. brilliant recitations-Dot at a prom, sweet and gay-Dot, good-naturedly taking a ragging - Dot, all otherdom , and selliessness! Young and refreshing, and yet always there, steady and dependable, when you need her- Your worries, big and small, smoothed out by Dot-your little dreams that the world would mock, safe with Dot!

ELMATA ici 1953 Z, A MARY MARGARET BARRETT i ' is l HOLYOKE, Mfxss. 5, fl J, for Barry Ml'-ilcYllf1l1Il'4li sl011n'0r1y- lillllllfj and .wr ftllly XYITH a song in their hearts, with the waving of banners-crimson and silver-and the fanfare of drums, the steady march of the parade of '33 has swung onward toward its coveted goal. It has been a gay procession and has trocl rough-shod over all obstacles. But there was one among us who sought to view this spec-tacle from the sidelines. You've guessed it-Mary Barrett is the young lady who loves to shun the limelight, but who coultln't hide her light under a bushel for long. One can picture her along the march giving a word of encouragement to her fellow marchers or causing a paroxysm of mirth by her Rogerish wit. Mary has held several important oftices and, by her administrative finesse, has excited the admiration and gratitude of her classmates. One thing, however, which has caused her friends lu become a bit impatient at times. though second thought excuses her for being natural-that is her leisurely gait. This trait or habit las you willl is the very antithesis of that found in her associates. They are as live-wire-ish as she is casual. Mary is the antidote for 1935 precipitattness. However, the thoroughness that is ever akin to the leisurely pace is hers also. The call of the books has no terrors for her, nor will the call of any avocation in the future. Mary possesses all the essentials of an evenly balanced character and disposition which will make any task appear easy. She will never be an alarmist, but is certain to be a success in her career as an apostle of quiet thoroughness. Class Secretary 3, 43 Treasurer.
