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.

Bucky .-R5 ,,,-4 Her Voice UZIJ' erer .rofl und fuzz'- Afl excellerzl Ming in ll'0NlJI1.H XX'hen we, as Freshmen, assembled for the Hrst time, there was in our midst tl very quiet, shy and unassuming girl from the Berkshires. 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.

Widge, the inimitable, has the happy faculty of being different in the desired wily. Because of her enthusiasm, charm and capability, together with the infinite variety of her ideas, we are to be congratulated for having chosen her as General Chairman of our Senior Promenade. I-ler personality is delightful-combining affability, gay wit, and competency. In work, scholastic or social, she is indefatrable. Individual in design, swift in execution, Widge has been a source of wonder to more than a few in our class. In all things, she has an infallible sense of good taste and balance. Ever jolly. she has become a popular figure on the campus. In recreation, her merry laugh is contagious and keeps the class brimming with vitality and mirth. Too, 'tis she who can in study become the serious student solving a difficult problem. To science, and la belle langue, she has always been partial, but never to the detriment of her other interests. She was always active and ever evident in extra- curricula functions. As a friend, she was ever trueg and as a comrade, invariably pleasant. It would be superfluous to wish Widge success, for from her true abilities and characteristics, we know it will be her destiny. Sodality 1, 2, 3, 4g Class Secretary 5Q Dramatic Club 1, 2, 3, 4g M. J.
