Ceil May your friend! be ai Hue to you ui' you me lo lfJsn1. Four years ago, from the Berkshire Hills, there came to us a quiet, unassuming young lady who even now possesses these same qualities. Although quiet, Ceil became well known to all of us and well liked by all of us. From the first, it seemed we couldn't know her better nor like her more. Yet, each year, we did find ourselves knowing her better and liking her even more. Her ever-present cheerfulness, her many kindnesses and her generous consideration toward all, made her one of the most popular figures on the campus. Ceil's actions spoke for her-for she was always there ever ready and willing to lend a helping hand when a helping hand was needed. Not for gratitude did she render these kind services, but because by nature she is thoughtful and never forgets the feelings and sensibilities of others. We all appreciated Ceil , although she may not have known it. We feel sure that these fine qualities she possesses will endear her as much to those with whom she iusociates in future years as they have to us-her classmates of '35.

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.

ELMATA Vie- - fX 555 MARY CATHERINE GALWAY 1-i BUTTERFIELD AVE., BELLows FALLS, VT. G.1!!ie Mfl!'L'lllIlAflfjllllllfllll were 11.11111 Iv ber mind And Zlflllllllg grace ber every an 7'6f776d.U Yes, indeed, this daughter of the Green Mountains. was a very accomplished young lady: her record among us proves it. She was active in all lines, being one of our best students, a most talented violinist, an eloquent speaker and an all-round sport. Although conscientiously studious, Mary, nevertheless, found time to enter whole-heartedly into our social life, where she displayed a keen interest and an easy graciousness. Mary believed in working hard and playing hard. She set us a splendid example, for she proved thorough in her assignments, ambitious in her plans and valuable in her suggestions. She was proficient in the fine arts as well as in the useful ones, and her marked personality, intellectual poise and power and keen sense of values spell a strong character that knows no such word as fail. Weigliing everything calmly and prudently, being ever sincere, straight-forward and eminently successful, Mary leaves a memorable impression on the students of O. L. E. Knowing that success treads on the heels of all who believe that genius is a talent for hard work, we're confident that Mary will ever be successful and make us as proud of her in after years as we were in college days.
