t?3g SJ ' PATRICIA AUBURTA COLLINS Tl-IOMPSONVILLE, CONN. Pai 'IW A flung of impnfw. and ir child of long. Certainly one of the very first surprises that O. L. E. offered us was the arrival of 'Pats' family . . . we had expected at least a score of relatives, and couldn't help but wonder a little when only Mother and Dad appeared! Then . . . who can forget how she emerged triumphant in the Athletic Association Election almost before the ink with which she was enrolled as a collegian could dry? This ability to get places is still charac- teristic of our vivacious classmate from another State. Her Pontiac is the class car! How often has she generously pressed it into service on some last minute errand for no other reason than tu reliexe the mind of a harassed fellow-student? Both Pontiac and Springfield Street are still intact. too, mjrrzbile dicfzd lXXfe can just hear her indignant I-lumph at this point!J Once in awhile we are apt to hear a modified crash ! not too far off. Startled, we turn to investigate the cause of the disturbance. XX'e return to our work, reassured. The noise's good-natured smile bubbles over into a laugh. She simply stumbled. Pat is such an impetu- ous bundle of energy! But we know we can count on her when we want things done in a hurry. In spite of the fact that she is always accusing herself of having a nose that's too shorrnffincidentally there are plenty of us who would give our eye-teeth to have one half as stiqiiglitj-we know that Miss Patricia A. will get there.

r -' ' . GRACE MARIE COLLINS SPRINGFIELD, Mass. A bein! lu zerolre, 41 beta! lu runlrire, rind .1 laimd lu e.wr11lt. From the moment Grace first walked into our midst, we knew her to be just what she was-and is, and will be-a jolly person, and one whom we all wanted for a friend. To tell the truth, we liked her so well that we made het Class President during Sophomore and junior years, which fact speaks for itself. Her election as Chief Ranger of a court of Foresters, while she was still in her college teens, is another indication of Grace's ability. Not only in othciating at extra-curricular activities has her ability shown itself, but also in the classroom. To pick one subject in which she is proficient, would be to neglect another. In all of her studies, Grace has shown the same care and thought that has so characterized her busy career. Although at hrst appearance she seems to be a very serious-minded young lady, we her class- mates, have learned to identify her by that infectious giggle of hers. Tall and dignified she is, but not too tall or too dignihed to enter into the spirit of fun which surrounds Grace and her associates, especially Hannie. Tall and dignified as she is, she can get down to the intricacies of philosophys deepest offerings and chat about Austatle with a smile. We all sincerely hope that her future path-ways may be as successful as her happy college days.

E -gQ.KEiJgbAlA7',,?' CATHERINE GERTRUDE FLANNERY SPRINGFIELD, Mass. Gert New Lzzz' 1, zzerer fell. tl mlm ro deepf' .Always calm, cool and collected is Gert, If one were to search for a description of this member of our class, the best without a doubt would be never hurry, never worry, as it portrays almost to a T Gert as we know her. In everything she has undertaken, whether it has been a serious scholastic matter or a light social problem, Gert has always proven herself cool and capable. Even when the not ever faithful bus was behind schedule, Gert would never become upset . . . after all, what are twenty or thirty minutes in a collegian's busy life? Gert has always shown herself willing to give of her time and ability to class activities. Even as a proprietor of a flourishing Flower Shop Gert showed her understand- ing of human beings. We all like to dream, but a Shakespearean Class evidently lends itself to a seance where Gert is concerned-though she would be the first to deny such infidelity on her part to the Bard of Avon. Still, who are we to question the grave matters she may have been deciding? In the years to come, when Gert may be teaching some future president the rudiments of his country's history or possibly some French phonetics, we hope that she will remember well those Methods which she so aptly followed in classroom work. In whatever you may do in future years, Gert-good luck to you!
