,L EMEA ,, HELEN CLAIRE BEGLEY YVEST SPRINGFIELD, Mass. Oh, gran! mc, lzr'at'c11, .llore llzalz enough for 1zatnrc's ends, IVIIII .romelliing lcfl to treat my friends. A coMPLr-:TE description of Helen's character is not possible, for not one of us knows her thoroughly enough, That is no fault in her, nor any fault of ours. Almost every Senior has been impressed by some different quality, but we all agree the combination is one '33 is lucky to count as one of her own. Helen keeps us posted as to what is what in the radio world. and her information is often valuable as well as amusing. But not all Helen's time outside the classroom is spent cudclled by a radio. She reaps an enviable harvest from the hours she assigns to study. NVe might almost say: un grand per rent fvonr 'z'0ns. l Helen's ready laughter makes her always welcome. She is generousg and her big-heartedness is not the kind which denotes a weak backbone. For an indignation meeting, of two or of twenty-five Coh yes, there has been many a tempest in our teapotl often draws moral support from Helen's staunch advocacy of what she believes right. Now, excluding shop-talk, Helen has delighted many an audience with stories of summer vacations at the Lake. Wie wish she would tell us about the week-ends spent, let us say, not ten miles from Springfield! VVell, anyway, we hope for the future, that Helen will accomplish as much and as merrily as she has these four years.

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.

And what an imagination that girl has! Besides her keen powers of detection, there are several things about Kay which we will always remember-dreamy grey eyes-gorgeous raven locks-and, of course, that inimitable giggle so frequently heard in the Dorm and classroom. You may think that, after eight years in convent schools, Kay would not know her way around outside of cloistered xx alls-but, we assure you, she can play the part of a sophisticate when the occasion demands.
