l zwirllg ALICE LORETTA HANAN HOLYOKE, Mass. Age amnof wither' ber. nor rzzrlom .iltzle ber izzfifzile l'tll'ir.'1fl.H It is September, 1950-a door opens quietly, and just as quietly closes-and there stands Alice. She is a shy, demure, little girl ibut not too little!! wearing liornarimmed spectacles, and a coil of hair done low on her neck. Soon, however. we discover that she ii mi generii if anzplifu. Sometimes mischievous-sometimes serious, yet always good-natured, she keeps her schoolmates on the qui vive with her pranks. Singing, talking, laughing and weeping, you are known to us in all your moods. It did not take long for you to convince us of your acting ability. When first you took part in a play, we felt that we had discovered hidden talent. And now, we wish to seize this opportunity to congratulate you on your work in Richelieu, Do you remember that incident during the first week of school, Alice, when your help was sought in mathematics? In our many friendly arguments, you always stuck to your guns, and no one could shake your convictions. You were always like Daniel O'Connell's apple woman who was open to conviction but never convicted. And then there was that time when you were absent for so long! How glad we were to welcome you back! A dignified Senior now, you are ready to step forth into the world-head up, as always, and eager to face the future. We wouldn't care to have you be a howling success-the Dean might object to that- but we do wish you loads and loads of luck!

irzkliiks - 2. CATHERINE BERNICE GANNON V ADAMS, Mass. iv? The zwildk' ll Iltetllre. Ilze 6.17711 .1 .ilage Unlairlo Gad and N.111n'e do wilb rzrlorr fzllf' Down from the hills in Adams came Catherine to us in our Freshman year at O. I.. E. Witlt the vigor of the hills from which she came, and the determination to reach a definite goal, she started on her four-year journey. Admiringly 'we watched her, and just as admir- ingly did we champion the efforts and triumphs of our class actress. Bulwer-Lytton in his Richelieu says there is no such word as 'fail'. Catherine has proved to us the truth of that statement. XXfhole-heartedly she entered into the oratorical contests, and she did not fail, but came hack to us a prize winner each time. Her marvelous work as Cardinal Richelieu in Richelieu, the annual college play of our Senior year, proved to us in action, before she told it to us in the words of the Cardinal, that there is no such word as fail. Loving dramatics as she does, Catherine is by no means prejudiced against other activities. She loves the out-of- doors, music, and can always be counted on when there is any fun afoot. Hidden deep within her nature is a streak of Irish wit which shows up most advantageously and oppor- tunely at times. We'll never forget the day in Methods when she sent her willing pupil to the library for references! To crown her talents, and to make the combination just right, Catherine is a jolly good sport and deserves the best!

Often .1 pen picture. like a photograph, does not do justice to an individual. Such must inevitabl' be the case with Eileen, because of a charm which is as endless as it is indefinable. 5 Always the same nice person to everyone. she is everyone's friendg whether you are a sophis- ticated Sophomore or a lowly -or should we say lonely ?-Freshman, you may be sure of a friendly greeting from Eileen, because she considers you her friend. Eileen is gracious to everyone not only in thought but in act. She has given freely of her time and talent to all college activities, including our famous Glee Club. By this time we all should know who Sylvia really is, and to give ourselves our just due, we do know! Thanks to our sufifrages Eileen should turn out to be the hnancial wizard of our class, d if she does not no blame can rest upon us We have seen to it that it cannot possibly an . - . , , . .. be from lack of practice in figuring. She has been the Class Treasurer for three years. lt is positively uncanny the way she separates us from our money and makes us like it! And like her for itl During classrhours, too, she is our pride and joy-her note-books are .in perfeftf To the irl who has learned so much about it at our expense, we wish the best that wmzevy can buyl-- g .. .
