ELMATA CX 1955 ,-, ' HELEN JULIA COLLINS SPRINGFIELD, MASS. Benny Size is pretty to walk with, and witty to talk with Amr' fvltuzsazit fn think fin, fmt. PERHAP5 some of vou will contradict mc when I cl 'b H , . . I ' escrl e elen as unusual-but stop and think! Isn't it unusual to find red hair accompanied by such 21 truly wonderful disposition? Isn't it unusual to End a girl who possesses the rare gift of forgetting as well as forgiving? And isn't it unusual to meet a girl who can look so sophisticated and yet be so charmingly naive? And wh ere, in all the world, will we find another girl who can walk alono' in 1 beret 'ind l g . . po o coat as regally as a queen in a crown ancl ermine wrap? Helen is rarely, if ever, out of humor .... in fact, a few moments spent in her company have often cured many a one of us of a bad case of the blues. For this reason. she is popular with all and her presence is an asset to any gathering. To those who have known her but casually, she has brought the desire to know her better .... to those privileged with her intimacy, h h s e as been a real pal. Loyal and generous in her friendships, equipped with the double attributes of an attractive appearance and personality, Helen has merited our unanimous wish for luck and happiness in the future.

' lJtrt1tNt r1vE of stature, colossal of heart, an unobtrusive little person, with eager brown eyes and a faculty for popping up unexpectedly to fill the air with a lilting song, or to prove her point furor:Ic'sra1J1r'1nr'11t in a French debate--that is Rosalie. The span of four years spent with this auburn-haired comrade is :ill too brief-yet sufficiently long to prove that she is worth her weight in gold. VVhoever turned to her in need and came away unsatisfied? XVhether you needed mercurochrome, or aid with a bit of French, or a neat patch for your uniform, Rosalie was there. And Rosalie is wielder of the deftest needle ever known to a jagged tear . Good- hearted, just at little bit gullible, and gifted with that property that makes you glad to have her around, Rosalie has won our hearts. Vye admire her, we tease her. we laugh with her-and in our modern diction, we call her cute ! We need not wish her success and happiness. these will be hers inevitably-we only wish that nothing in life may change her from the steady, lovable Rosalie whom we know.

6 El'5'3Q5l,, MARGARET RITA COLLINS YVORCESTER, MASS. ff U Peg Heart on sle'c'w, .9110 walks nwrrily alaug- ONE of the lovable things about her is that she is so jolly human. Full of sweet dreams-always an inner glow of delight-simple-hearted innocence-an amount of Irish wit and a full share of blarney-go to make up this colleen, who danced her way into our hearts four years ago. Call her Margaret? Indeed! 'When once we saw that glint of blue through a mist of tears-we called her Peg, and Peg has been her praenomen ever since. That rare combination of good looks, personality, sunny disposition, and intellectual prowess, has prompted her classmates and friends to proclaim her the Hallmark of quality . She has given of herself and of her time unstintingly. Many an Elms girl can vouch for her ready willingness and her unselfishness- aye, full many a one owes her crowning glory to Pegs clever mantruvres. This gay bit of femininity trips along life's highway , 'mid laughter and tears and with the guilelessness of a three years' child. spreading happiness on her way. To have known Peg is to have added to your store of sunshine. To have had her friendship is to have had that stanch loyalty of one who walks your path and thinks the thoughts you think , May the world prize her as '33 does, for to '33 she will be Peg o' My Heart to the end.
