GARGUYLEXIHEB L MARION ASHLEY Two Years College Preparatory for Vassar Athletic Association Dramatic Club p House Committee Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm in HALL I or shant I wear my glasses? In case this question should seem irrelevant, we need only to mention IVIarion's name, and its importance at once becomes clear. It is one of the few points which Marion cannot decide, and no amount of advice from her friends seems to help. We keep on giving our opinions, nevertheless, and we like her equally well with or without the specs IVIarion's moods have an extraordinary range, and usually they fly from one extreme to the other We see her either utterly downcast over her imaginary inability to deal with some great problem or bubbling over with enthusiasm and fun. We are glad to note that the enthusiasm predominates. She is desolate without com- pany, and happiest when discussing some weighty question with her friends. When Marion takes up her task in the world, we know it will be among people. I3 1'

GARGUYLEIHEE . CATI-IARINE BAKER Two Years General Course Athletic Association Glee Club Choir Reserve Social Committee Senior Play On with the dance! Let joy be unconfned! AY not only trips the light fantastic toe on Saturday nights in the gymnasium but also trips through the dreary routine of week days. She is never too busy to cheer us, whether it be with the latest dance steps or with an amusing episode. It isn't that Cay is frivolousg she is just a born optimist. Nothing is so dark that she can't see light shining through. But Cay has moments of seriousness. She is a helpful friend and classmate, an ever-sympathetic listener to a tale of woe, and a cheerful aid. She is probably most serious when she is pursuing knowledge in the li- brary. We really can't help admiring Cay's quick trans- formation from a gay, lively person to a meditative student. ' ' With her fine power of concentration she gains results. 14
