These adjectives describe so well a personality vibrant in the Senior class. Cath isn't very big, but her lovely, gracious manner and her talent for drawing have made het quite necessary to our Senior happiness. Under her direction, our junior Prom became the most beautifully decorated of them all. Because of this, Cath has been further complimented by again being selected as chairman of decora- tions for our Senior Ball. The drawings in our year-book come from her pen. Throughout these past four years, that pen has been at her class's disposal, and has never failed us. Cath is a good listener. Comfort and patience await a friend in trouble. The fact that she delights in a friends success as she would in her own makes her a pal worth having. Cath knows everybody and everyone knows Cath. Ar the concerts, at the Proms, it is always, Hello, everybody, answered by Hello, 'Cath', it is good to see you. May that be our blessed privilege many a time and oft in the days to Come!

'-' ELMATA CX fa DORIS MARIE CLEMENT -I6 SOUTH Bow ST., MILFORD, Mnss, Dada joy filed ynzn' lazzglving dir-yi. They call me Dodo, she told us, and, of course, everyone thought of that time-worn extinction, and perhaps expected that here was the very same. But it wasnt long before we dis- covered that ours was a very paradoxical Dodo, Dead a couple of hundred years? Well, we are here to shout in chorus, No! Very much alive, especially when it came to pillow fights and tennis. Our Dodo also sings. Ah yes! But Dodo can also be very serious, and we know it far different personality when Doris. with flashing eye and vehement gesticulations, assures you that debating is a womanly as well as a manly accomplishment. She could argue Cicero to a frazzle fif he isn't that alreadyj, and make Demosthenes swallow his pebbles, and yet she would never yield a point-not even to save Demos- thenes from choking. There is also Dodo the student, and we, perfectly willing to believe any- thing, just marvel at her objections in Philosophy. But doubtful in this, she is gullible in other things, while we,-but then as the sages say, Comparisons are odious. There is Dodo the punster. The fun is just begun whun Dodo runs upun a pun, for thun come muny, muny puns! 1'Pun our word, we didn't mean all that.J Again, there is Dodo the dreamer, Building her beautiful castles of dreams all bright and fair -and making some of them come true. May you reach the place of dreams someday, Dodo. lf ever you want to hurry in your climb to the stars, try a Ere escape. You might come down more quickly than you went up, but then, there are the stairs as a last resort. Maybe someday, when you are old and gray, you may be allowe? 50 use an elevator. May you keep your dreams forever, and may the laughter in your eyes never a e.

She spins her web of ideals, and her gossamer threads of beauty, and produces in reality a concrete realization of her dreams. Unlike most dreamers, she never fails to crystallize her noble thoughts into actions. or to give expression to her visions of poetry. A keen wit, she shines as a conversationalistg she can talk to you about anything, books, science, history, yes, even singing Dowdy's freshman days saw her gain glory as a soap-box orator, and as a scaler of hre escapes par excellence. She has held many offices during her four years, but graced none as she did that of leader of the jesse james club, which specialized in French beds and reversed bureau drawers. Her abilities demand for their recounting a more capable pen than this one. lf we were to invent a new adjective, we could call her straight-A Dorothy, for she was an A scholar, a 1007 frolic maker, and a top-notch friend. The shades of time will naturally take away from us some of our precious college souvenirs, but we are confident that the years cannot obliterate this personality composed of sugar and spice and everything nice.
