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.

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!

We who have lived with Clare know how wide herlworld must be. It is a lovely place, and we, who have had the pleasure of sharing it for even a little while, know that her world is, and will ever be, a happy one. A person with a heart as warm and friendly as Clare's cannot fail to be well liked wherever she goes, and college days served only to add to her hosts of friends. It is hard to analyze Clare's personality. It is rather enigmatical. Hard-pressed for a thumb- nail description, one would look puzzled, and proffer, Unsophisticated sophisticatef' Very para- doxical, indeed, Sophisticated she is, when dressed from head to toe in the latest fashion, she trips into a waiting roadster, and is whisked to points east, north and south, footballing, theatre-going or just plain week-ending. Unsophisticated is she, when with a gay crowd she plays tag fAh, days of my youth, you haven't gone yet!J, tears around making french beds, tries an occasional ride in the elevator, and dashes, windblown and breathless, just a half minute late for class! You'll keep your cosmopolitanism, Clare, but through it, your heart of gold will shine forth, brightening the darkness of a weary world, making it a finer place to live in because your inspiring presence will add light and leading to this sad old earth that must borrow its mirth.
