Margaret did not come to us: we came to her. Six years before the class of 1936 arrived at O. L. E., she knew the campus, as a student in the Academy: but we rejoice that she was here to welcome us, for we were the gainers. From the beginning she imbued us with her own enthusiasm for our college and its interests. Cheerful to help, willing to cooperate, efhcient to execute, and delightful to knowfthat is D. She carries joy wherever she goes, and has the unusual gift of passing this gladness on to those whom she meets. She loves life, and in the brightness of her smile, everyone else must share her love. We will long remember M. D. for the many rides she furnished to Springfield or to any other point we wished to go. Her skill at the wheel is a class tradition. She was ever ready to pile a crowd into her car, and away they would go. north, south, east, or west as the wind blew, As a business woman, she was unsurpassed. A clear mind, a sense of values. and real erhciency made her record as business manager of our Year Book unrivalled in the history of the College. Her charming personality made her approach to strangers easy and she left them always thinking as she thought. The business end of our Year Book, thanks to her management. is a success for which the class of 1936 owes Margaret a standing vote of thanks. We hope that life will deal with you pleasantly, D. and that the happiness you have brought the class of 1936 you will carry to your new fields of labor. Our prayer for you is one of thanksgiving for our good fortune in having you as a classmate,- God bless you. Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 43 Dramatic Club 1, 2, 3, 43 M. J. B.

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. Al played center on our class basketball team, and frequently she got the jump on her oncnt Alice may you pl-my center on all the fields of the future and reach high for the ball opp ' . , . . of success-more than that!

Wlhen we saw her smile. we grew interestedg but when we heard her speak, we knew she belonged to the Class of 1956. From the start. we called her Betty , and soon discovered that she was both brilliant and witty. We admired her courage when she told us that she would take both Spanish and Frenchg now we congratulate her for the wonderful record she has made in both subjects. Her scholastic rank is among the highest. To add to our admiration, in no time at all, we found that she had many other interests besides studies. If there's one thing a basketball team needs as much as players. it's supporters. We found an ardent one in Bettyg for we had but to mention a basketball game. and Betty was in the front row of spectators cheering our team to victoryl Wfhen it was a question of the Glee Club, Betty was always there with her strong alto voice. In addition to this. she was one of the leading members of our much praised Double Quartette. Whether an active participant or merely a spectator, she loyally supports all the activities of the college. In short. we can say she is an all-round good scout. We will miss you. Betty. more than we realizeg but the years to come will be brighter because of the memory of your curly head. and brilliant smile as you uttered one of your witticisms or perhaps recited one of your famous nursery-rhymes. If the world knows you as we have known you. it will love you. Success always and our love!
