She said little but we felt that she was glad to meet us. When the bewilderment of those first few days had passed, to our surprise and joy, .1 new Rita emerged! A Rita who became the life of the party. Like a chameleon, she had changed color over night. We gave her the nickname of Bucky , and elected her to entertain us with ad pan- tomines. Quiet but novel in her humor, she attracted all by her lady-like manners and unpretentious bearing. We will remember Bucky for muchg but especially for her proficiency in the art of imita- tion. Clever as she was in this line, her own innate modesty and invincible shyness, kept her from appearing publicly in this character. Oh, she has appeared publicly-two years before the footlights in our College Play attest that, but not in humorous character. All during our years at O. L. E.. she has remained our staunch friend, an earnest student. and a splendid classmate. Bucky , may life smile on you and give you as much joy and happiness as you have given us during our years at O.

LM ATA55 MARGARET MARY CANAVAN 52 ELMDALE ST., WEST SPMNGFIELD, MASS. Margie Il be11 tr friend a,vl2i'. lbere ii fm Im1zw'1'014'. As a student, Margie has always been conscientious and successfulg as a friend to all-most pleasant and kind. Though charmingly modern, she enjoys and revels in intercourse with the Latin ancients. Wliile many of us might have been tempted to understand the too well-known heroes of Latin literature through some medium, Margaret has ever been distinguished as one whose enviable gift it is to he capable of rightly interpreting the original. Nor was that field of endeavor alone the subject for her conquests. Witli Aristotle she was more than intimately familiarg as a biologist, she was very scrupulous, as a linguist-most adept, and as a friend she fulfills the requirements to an inlinitisimal degree. In Margaret the qualities of sincerity and jollity are delightfully combined to make her a thoroughly amicable, fun-loving companion in happiness, and a most comforting one in adverse circumstances. Kindly-she would never voluntarily place one at her disadvantage. Ever generous was she in her desire to aid the less-fortunate. Briefly, Margie has proved her ability to surmount scholastic obstacles and has shown her delight in participating in social activities. As we may gauge the future by the past, we feel justified in saying, Margie, your success is assured. Sodality 1, 2, 5. 43 Class Secretary 43 Dramatic Club 1. 2, 5, 4g M. J. B.
