She has a way with her, this lady, a loving, kindly, way. The memory of it will linger on in the hearts of those who have encountered her. From that historic town, in the foothills of the Berkshires, Bert Decker came to us in September of '33, Tho she is essentially a fun-lover you would be in deep error, my friend, if you pictured Bert always the gay-miened young lass who gazes at you here. For Bert is ever serious in the presence of things to be done. This quality has made her the recipient of numerous chairman- ships in extra-curriculum and social activities. It has made her more than a worthy opponent in the Athletic Field and in the classroom a scholastic threat to the best of them. Perhaps the Bert most endeared to us, however, is the fun-loving one. Wlmti among us hasnt at some serious moment been the victim of her mirth-provoking sideglance? But again who hasn't had occasion to pause in appreciation of her splendid generosity? We have found her the hrst to offer a helping hand and the last to withdraw it. The eminence of this in Bert is challenged by her fine integrity. If you've ever avoided an issue, Bert, we haven't observed it! In a word, you who read here-for good scholarship, rollicking humor, good comradeship. and unsurpassed kindliness-we give you, Bert Decker!

Everyone knows Bunny and will continue to remember her for her cheerful disposition and readiness to help when there was need of help. As a student, Bunny was among the best. Her talents are manyfof which she should be justly proud. For instance, as a knitter and dressmaker she is beyond comparefthe beginning, perhaps, of that domestic trend. In addition, she is quite apt at the strumming of her banjo-ulte. For the past two years Bunny has held the honorable position of class-treasurer. We join in commending our choice of so competent a financier. In closing we say that Bunny's voice will long live in our memories as being ever soft and lowAa commendable thing in woman. If we may judge the future by the past, we may say with confidence, Bunny, that wherever life may lead you, success will be there.

In the four short years we have known Ruth, she has been characterized by those distinctive qualities so rarely found in this busy world of ours, Her unfailing desire and equal readiness to help any one of us in our need, her time and ability unselfishly given when real work was needed, have never failed us. Happily, her efforts have not remained unrecognized, for she distinguished herself not only above her classmates, but also above the entire student body in her Sophomore Year. She has stood the test of time well. To Ruth belongs much of the success of our Year Book. Whetlier planning for a prom or for a lecture we could always depend upon her. She seems to possess an unlimited capacity for work. Her scholastic record affords ample proof of her diligence. Her recitations invariably aroused our envy, and her marks our admiration. Ruth possesses a line sense of humor, too, for she can enjoy a joke upon herself as readily as most people do upon others. Her ready laugh, her quick sympathy, and her silent loyalty have established her firmly among us. The confident manner in which her clear voice so often rang out in assemblies never failed to evoke our sincere congratulations. Even more, her fine interpretations of dramatic selections in oral expression classes, have so often made us wish that we might come through as ttiumphantly as she. Keep up the good work, Ruth. May your air of gay confidence never forsake you. Sodality 1, 2, 3, 4, Metaphysical Club 31 Social Action Club 43 Le Cercle Fmngair 1, 2, 3, 43 Monsignor Doyle Science Club 4g M. J. B.
