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.

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.

We could quote a great deal more which would ht Kay for she is just the sort of person to give poets their inspiration. The first impression she gives is a consciousness of the presence of some sort of beauty. Her physical attractiveness is striking, and her graceful and charming manner appeal from the very first moment. Kay is a very friendly and sociable girl. Upon further acquaintance. her keen and clever mind comes into evidence. But more subtle and priceless is the beauty of her soul, for Kay loves everything good, true, and beautiful. Her fondness for poetry and even for composing excellent bits herself attests this. As the prefect of the Sodality, she has endeavored to transmit some of her own religious enthusiasm and zeal to her fellow students. Her love for things holy and saintly is evident to all who know her. Witli the divine assistance, which she invariably seeks in all her undertakings, we know she cannot but gain success. In her four years with us, we have come to regard her as our own special paradox. She is what would be known as a Material- istic ldealist, for would it be an Idealistic Materialist?lg for though Kay appreciates the finer things of life-the beauties of nature, poetry, music, and art-yer this does not prevent her from excelling in the science laboratory, and her practical mind has come in very handy in all school activities, ranging all the way from a basketball game to decorations for the junior prom. Add to this combination, a particularly witty humor, distinctly Germain-ish. and you have some idea of why Kay is one of the most popular girls in the entire student body.
