ELMATA tx fa IRENE CLAIRE GLISTA ENFIELD Sr ENFIELD, CONN. ebtcabvix- we 'Qllenj lJerzrl.t will merrily claim I eu Irene--she of the fetching smile that reveals a row of even, white teeth-is and was from the first such a happy. carefree girl that even the terrors of the classroom did not put these qualities to flight. Nothing ever did cloud 'Rene's sunny disposition-not even when the rest of us would be feeling blue would 'Rene yield to so unworthy a sentiment, rather she'd be more cheerful than ever. Somehow her pleasantness and joyousness would chase our dull care and worry away. Having no sympathy with gloom, 'Rene always saw the funny side of things and this was most fortunate for her classmates, for she imbued them with this same merry spirit. Ever-ready with her infectious smile and light-hearted spirit, she made many a day happy for us: old man gloom never won even a glance from this child of the ready smile and cheery word. 'Rene was always so full of fun and so mischievious that she made us get our little imps nf mischief busy too. Her innocent look concealed the guilt of many an innocent prank. Be assured that, wherever 'Rene may go, she'll continue to scatter sunshine and that jest and joyful iollity coupled with happiness will ever be synonymous with her.

A whirl of a motor, a car glides up to the front door, a young girl iumps out, mounts the steps and lo! Mary makes her debut at the Elms. We were not long in discovering that Mary's ability was not confined alone to adroitness in handling her car. Whenever the reputation uf the Class of '35 as Historians began to quiver Mary invariably put new life into it with one of her perfect and definite statements. Yes, Mary's pet subject is History and she nobly acquits herself in that class whether it is a question of Ancient, Medieval, or Modern History. With long light hair and dreamy blue eyes Mary is quiet, modest, shy and retiring. She would be content to let the world rush by without knowing her true worth. But there is another side to Mary's character. Her firm chin denotes an earnest determination to stand by her convic- tions. With vigor she throws herself into the serious business of studying, displaying an energy seldom equalled. Always willing to do her part and a bit more, she shows this same energy and vigor in social affairs. Mary will throw herself wholeheartedly into any enterprise she undertakes and her determina- tion, energy and vigor are sure to win success! So we simply say: May your fondest dreams come true, Mary.

. We 'jr M aims me fs jf . RUTH MARIE GRADY 58 WALTON ST., Cmcopnn, Mass. True the ir and kind. One of the best reasons why our class is perpetually-well, almost perpetually-in good humor is Ruth. She can come out of a Methods exam smiling. She can make any class a pleasure by an original remark. We like herg but more than that we respect her. Ruth is the Senior vice- president. And her advice on any topic is worth following. We have never known her to betray trust. Ruth is as frank and natural as the dawn of a bright morning. In four years of class association, we have discovered that she doe-sn't know how to do a mean thing. We have never detected anything but warmth in her greeting. The Seniors welcome Ruth into any group in the class, glad to have her and her kind humor among them. She was elected Class Prophet for more reasons than one. Besides being able to write entertainingly fshe is on the year-book staffj, she is wise in her judgments, kind in her criticisms, and delightful in her subtle observations. Ruth will be loyal to her class and her college. Sure we are of that. In saying that we will never forget her, we feel in our hearts that Ruth will never forget us. She will laugh with us to the very end: Ruth will, and even times of depression will never dim her smile. In her, we give the world a tried and true apostle of good cheer.
