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.

S, - , LMATA ZQS DOROTHY RUTH CRUZE 121 HASTINGS ST., SPRINGFIELD, MASS. HDOI.. 5 J So well .-'be .tried each .md ern'-i part. She answers to the name of Dot, sometimes to Cruzie. and her particular mood does not in the least conflict with whatever nickname some fair damsel deigns to dub her. Dot trod the length of Newbury Street each morning, and whether it be fair or foul, her cheery Good Morning never failed to echo in our study hall. Dot is a very versatile young lady. During her four years at the Elms. she proved her skill in many fields. Holding a leading place in scholastic endeavor, her opinions on questions of import were sought and valued by her classmates. Dorothy's talent as an actress was discovered in her Freshman year: and since then, her modest yet outstanding performances in dramatics have added to the general success of many a college play. Whenever an occasion called for a bit of verse. or there was a demand for a new class song. it was Dorothy who penned the lines. Her ability as a writer won for her the honor of Editor-in- Chief of our Year Book. The success of the Elmata is due in large measure to her untiring efforts. Looking back to our Freshman year. we see Dot struggling with a dilemma on a certain May night. It was her tirst appearance in the oratorical contest. but she took her place on the stage, and fought a victorious battle with the raging bull of Quo Vadis. It was not her last victory. Dorothy, we know you have surmounted many a dirliculry these last four years. and we hope that they are but happy preludes to many greater and more glorious successes in the future.
