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.

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.

CN '7 SALLY BERENICE HALLEIN 992 Mtamoamt- Avii., W. SPittNoriEi-n, MASS, Site looked wz life zwifly rtuzdid eyet ll fJfr'fJ ,lljljllf zrifb dejlllm fnzlold. -A2l0?Ij'lIZON5. On a September morning three years ago, we returned to school to find Sally calmly and firmly established among us. That was all there was to her coming. She simply was thereg and just as surely she always will be. Her cool and polite appraisal of her classmates was as frank and sincere as Sally herselfg and the acceptance of each was mutual, Sally never was conspicuous in a gathering yet there never was a moment when we were unaware of her presence. Why, even one of our most imperturbable professors has been known to pause in the middle of a sentence and ask wonderingly. 'jWl1C1'C'S Sally? She possesses a startlingly keen mind. has a well founded opinion upon every subject which presents itself, and most precious of all, has that rare ability to withhold her judgments wisely. The spontaneity of her wit is delightful, and she is a past master at the art of repartee. Her subtle pen can make the most colorless subjects interesting. Were her observations concerning the affairs of mice and men gathered together, they would surely constitute a sparkling piece of literature. Little wonder that we did not hesitate to entrust to Sally the position of Humor-Editor of our annual. True greatness in any held, being ever prone to conceal itself, Sally's natural reticence follows as a matter of course. Serenely and simply she goes through life. If she is troubled, few are aware of it. Yet when we more impulsive souls become embroiled in our various difficulties, Sally is quick to perceive and ready to help. Indeed. this slender little person bears responsibility well. For your sweet unselhshness and your love of wholesome pleasure. for your untiring ambition and loyalty to ideals. for all those things which go to make a fine character, you are dear to us. For you we wish the best of everything. May you always be as you are.
