We never realized she was with us until we made the astounding discovery that she was the girl who always knew the correct answers in our history classes. She was quietly remaining in the background, only to startle us the more with such displays of wit that we would wonder if this was the same Rita or Fordy as she became to us. Quiet and unassuming as she was, Fordy' was always there when she was needed. A model student and untiring worker was Fordy . We will never forget the work she did for the junior Promg and the Elmata owes part of its hnancial success to her systematic canvass of Chicopee. F0rdy was one of the few who could handle many things with the utmost ease and accuracy. Without her the Class of '37 would be in need of the sturdy prop she proved to he. The Spanish class would be lost without herg she has earned the right to boast of her Spanish, although it is not in her makeup to do so. For you, Rita, your Class wishes nothing but the best. Success to you always. Sodality 1, 2, 3, 43 Glee Club 1, 2, 5g Metaphysical Club 51 Social Action Club -lg La Corte Caitellmm 1, 2, 3, -'lg M. J. B.

W ELMATA cs fa MARIE ELIZABETH BIBLE FOLEY -is Baooictitsin Ava., SP1uNoFii2i-n, Mass. The gellffffflen of .ill the godi gn triib Ibeef' -Sbizeeipeiire. Like Diogenes looking for an honest man Marie travels around with the lamp of charity searching for the good in everyone she meets. An uncharitable remark is met with rebuke from Marie in her production of enough good traits to more than outweigh the ones previously exposed. The trite phrase, appearances are deceiving , was certainly true in Marie's case, for her fellow- students soon discovered that there was a twinkle lurking in her eye, and that her smile was merely awaiting an opportunity to flash out. Her puns are famous throughout the Senior Class, and are noted for their aptness. Yet Maries life is not concerned merely with witty sayings for her in- telligence in regard to her studies may be judged by the fact that she was selected as Editor-in-Chief of the Elmata. The suitability of the selection is attested by the ease with which she has performed the duties of her position. As if these duties added to her classes were not enough to fill her day to overflowing Marie has also been assigned the position of Press Agent for the entire College. She fulfills her several duties with a conscientious attention to detail that is an ever-present example to her classmates. In moral matters as well as material ones, Marie stands out as a beacon-light to show the path of truth to her friendsg for, whether you are seeking the answer to a profound argument in Theology or an apt quotation from the Bible, Marie is able to supply you. Her knowledge of her religion is the envy of all who know her. Yet, extensive as is her theoretical knowledge. it by no means exceeds her practical application of her religious tenets. So, though it is with great regret that we view her departure from these realms of learning, we watch her go with the assurance in our hearts that she will be a grand success in whatever career she may choose, Sodality 1, 2, 5, 4g Metaphysical Club 3, Secretary 53 Social Action Club 45 Monsignor Doyle Science Club -ig Le Cerrle Fmnfait 3, 45 College Press Agentg Editor-in-Chief of Elmata, f26J . 1937 Cs fa

ELMATA QTN. f'9 BARBARA JUSTINE GATELY 22 HOW'ARD ST., HOLYOKE, Mass. HSl'l'01l,H mind, great balrl. True f.1r1l2. zrilling fm11d,r. -Hollmzd. Sparkling brown eyes and dark curly hair-that's Bob ! But, lest you be deceived-these are not all her admirable traits. Bobs efhciency and dependability were most strikingly manifested in the successful manner in which she. as general chairman, piloted our junior Prom. Congratulations, Barbara, for a task well done! Her strength of mind, we, the less fortunately gifted, have found a source of consolation and joy, a redeeming feature in the class. Her power as a logician-firm and lucid, account for the position of president of the Metaphysical and Social Action Clubs which she executed to perfection. As a friend, none of us could find a better. She was always there with a helping hand, eager to do her part, and striving to make each one a little happier by the deed she might do however great or small. NX'e, her classmates, have realized her worth in these past four years, and are proud that she has been one of us, To you, Bob , we extend a warm farewell with the hope that the future will certainly yield the good fortune she now holds in store for you.
