C, Bids? ,, GRACE AGNES FLANAGAN SPRINGFIELD, Mass. lVif1z an eye made quid Ivy tin' fmucr Of 1IG7'llI0lIj' and flu' deep fwzuws of jay- IT is the consensus of opinion that Grace is the typical example of an Elmite who can have a wholesome outside interest and keep a proper balance between heart and head. This wholesome interest has been the reason for her sallying forth XYorcesterwards a-prom-ing and a-football-ing . For all of that, she would appear calm and unrutiied on Monday morning: with class recitation par excellence. Grace has remained untouched by the transitory phenomena of four years. She never gets excited over the messes into which humanity gets. She smiles at the fancies and foibles and calmly treads the even tenor of her way . Not only has Grace held an impregnable position. scholastically speaking, but her status is high in the field of dramatics and oral expression. She has procured the laurels for '33 on more than one occasion. Her quiet, unostentatious efforts went a long way to make the Junior prom and the Sodality Bridge-Tea a success. XYe are confident that Father Time is hacking out a niche for Grace in the Hall of Pedagogues and there her name will be hallowed.

'hllislrcss of lzvrself llzo' China fall IN future years the name Santa Claus will never fail to remind us of Viola, who so often, and so capably, played that role for us through our college years. We behold in Viola a composite of efficient seriousness and mirth-provoking nonsensicalness, who hs few peers in all the colleges of the land. Yiola's conduct is like a prism, ever changing, and yet ever enchanting. No class, no study period, no leisure hours, have ever managed to he wearisome with Viola present. No last-minute plea for ethcient service has ever found Viola unwilling. Our scrap-books are filled with the attractive programs :ind tickets that Viola produced for every occasion, She seems to have a penchant for ability in helds where most of us find ourselves helpless. For, who was it but Viola who used to advance in solitary grandeur Sophomore year to receive her math testimonial? Since happiness is the inalienable right of a giver of happiness, may Viola know all happiness. May her reindeer never slow up and her sleigh never break down until the Eternal Santa says.

ELMAM CX 1953 ,, DOROTHY KNOXVLTGN FLEMING SPRINGFIELD, Mass. fKD0tD l . A Nifzgcmz flood of -words- Tawxv head bent over a current magazine-a gasp-a swish of skirts-flying heels-a cyclonic entrance into class-a last-minute dashing-off ofa few lines of a theme-thus, reader, I introduce D. K. Fleming. Sparkling wit, dry humor and puns galore liespeak the keen intellect whose multiple activities appear paradoxical, not to say impossible. She should have been baptized Procrastination .... yet she' always rises to the occasion so superbly as to be breathtaking. To so much fear and trepidation has this Merry Madcapn subjected her classmates tespecially at two minutes of nine, Sunday nightsj, they marvel they have not sunk into premature old age without ever having known youth. Dot has a deep and abiding love for science-that is, of course, domestic science. Skillfully has she led us past the Scylla and Charybdis of Sophomore, junior and Senior years with always undaunted faith and with the ever-ready jest. Each and every Senior raises high her cup and, in one voice, we proclaim to you a toast that your measure of happiness will be pressed down. heaped up. and running over .
