MARION KATHERINE McNAMARA. “She walks in beaut ' , like the night Of cloudless climes and starry’ skies.’’ ’ice- President of the class. The best said of Mar- ion is none too good.

W e always rush throngh the corridors at such a rate that a si)ccd law has been i)romnlg ' ated in the interests of the rest of the student body. Now we must put the final period to the history of the Class of 1909, whose successes and honors we ho])e the following classes will strive to emnlate. Here, gentle reader, turn to onr pictures and gaze upon the plain but sturdy countenances of those who have accom- plished the things herein described. 11
