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.

Al was the diplomat of our class. Many it time she has had a group of her classmates literally on the brink of conviction. Then a twinkle in her eye broke the spell, and they knew that Al was once more trying out her powers of persuasive oratory, mixing a little exaggeration to add Z1 little spice. Even at the beginning of her college course, we youthful Freshmen were so impressed by her poise and executive ability that we chose her to hold the reins of government, and to direct our uncertain steed over' rough ground of Freshman days, She proved successful in her office, and kept us on the road to the end. She welded our love for our new surroundings into a Fidelity that has grown stronger each year.
