Millie Alas, bow ferr' IIJEYE are who mike in ui ar ford we emu' exiiled, bill .ielrlum l1t'ill'61'.u Upon entet'in ' rss, in ividuals stand out, Millie among them. You would be met with a smile-such a lovely characteristic. that smile. lt's a glad one. It fades only in sorrow for a friends unhappiness, and even then it appears, dimmed with sympathy in her eyes. For Millie is a glad person: glad to be alive and glad to help you. We like her- that is inevitable. We admire her studiousness. her unfailing energy. and her cooperation in every school and class activity. Millie is a member of nearly every club, working for them all with enthusiasm and com- plete loyalty and abandon. junior year she was on the clts l b . .e tis ce ating team. She has been our class song leader for two years. These very different responsibilities were filled to perfection by Millie-. She sings, does Millie, even before our most ditlicult exams. just ask her the words to the latest popular air. If she doesn't know it yet, she will by tomorrow. It is nice to know that Millie is always the same. glad and kind. with an occasional burst of temper that does us all good. Wlien saying adieu to her we couple our farewell with an earnest prayer that we may meet often. g a room containing the Senior clt ' d' Sodalityg Debating Society. 2, 53 Dramatic Society, 1, 2, 5, -ig Metaphysical Club, 33 Social Action Club, 43 Glee Club, 1, 2, 5, 41 Le Cerrle Fr.z11r.zii, 2, 3, 4. 1955 23

6ELMATAAE CLARE CATHERINE DUGAN 67 HILLTOP AVE., PROVIDENCE, R. I. The zmrld ifimdl ou! on eiilzer ride No :rider lbinz Ilae bear! it wide. 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.

Gert You tire like balm eflrlorea' well In amber or rome cryilal rbellf' Were we to set ourselves the labor of delineating the character of a complex genius, we are positive that such a task would not equal that of attempting to analyze this delectable fluff of fem- ininity who boasts five feet iso she saysj, but whom we scornfully designate as 4-ft. ll-in. But then, small packages are proverbial for the value of their contents, and our Lilliputian is no exception to the rule. Quiet of humor, calm of disposition, she has a perseverance in her studies that has occasioned many a less fortunate person to marvel at her will power to shut her eyes to all diversion and apply all her energies to her books. Books, however, can't make a schoolgirl's world, and they didn't make judy's. She hearkened to the call of the books, but was responsive to other calls, too. She joined in the fun, and managed to wait for a lull, and then she would inject her own witticisms, which like the title of an Alger book, were slow but oh so sure in their results. A picture of Judy is hardly complete without a reference to Shorty, As a Mutt and jeff, they excelled the originals. Their friendship began the day they looked at each other and little, petite, subdued, quiet Gert greeted tall, cool, assured Stella with the words Well, if it isn't Shorty! and Stella responded with Hello Judy. Why Judy ? We don't know unless it'S suggestive of somebody sweet-in a tea apronfwith a cozy atmosphere, unless it suggests those small, unobtrusive things in life that somehow don't push themselves forward or attract a great deal of attention, but can bring the most lasting pleasure, as Gertrude's presence has brought us.
