k CLAUDIA MARY FLEMING EASTHAMPTON, Mass. A zzzeiry lmirf doella good Hee fi mer1'ici1ze. Beneath your quiet exterior lies a spirit of joviality . . . priceless and matchless. As Freshman, we knew you to be a student of brilliant intellect whose powers of perception even in Math astounded us. For the life of us, we could not understand how one angle could be the supplement of another or just why it mattered whether we found the logarithm or calo- garithm of a number. You seemed to know! Yet somehow you never made us feel our inferiority, and you always seemed to be one of us. We believed you to be pensive, serious, . . . perhaps too much so . . . then one day we heard you laugh. Up to our last day in class, even your tiniest giggle has always been enough to send the Seniors into stitches. However, when the occasion called for dignity you could unassumingly show us just how dignified an Elmite should be. That calm reserve of yours will always be an asset to you in whatever profession you may choose. Your loyalty as the aforesaid Elmite culminated in your election to the post of Prefect of the Sodality. The ability with which you have executed your duties in this office is class history, and we are proud to claim you as a member of '34. Our sincere wish for you is that success and happiness will follow you wherever the future leads. We know you'll be on hand to hear her, even tho' the wizards tell us, Opportunity knocks but once. You won't keep her waiting!

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!

Florence is our Class Artist and is responsible for the beautifully drawn sketches which lend their charm to the pages of our Year Book. Combined with this talent for drawing, she possesses an uncanny aptitude ' ' f V ' ' ' ' P 'h J Fl mrence was not fully for Mathematics-certainly a rare and enviable combination. ei aps t appreciated by us until Junior Prom plans were being discussed. Then she advanced to the . . A yh f i d when chosen Chairman of Decorations, as any of you who were fortunate enoug., oregrc un to have attended the Prom of Proms will testify. In Senior Year, we hailed her as that ' l able much-to-be-respected personality, the class Physicist, an honor which made her an inva u laborator' aid. She passed. We accompanied her.
