BERNICE DOWD Major: Education. Minor: Social Studies. Degree: B.S. in Education. Actirfiliey: E.S.O. We find in Bernice the rare combination of a casual manner and firmness of purpose. We admire the reticence with which she succeeds, and her determination to continue to do so. PATRICK ERICKSON Major: History. Minor: Social Studies. Degree: B.S. Pat's knowledge of politics together with his appreciation of Shakespeare makes an ideal combination. He instigates many interesting conversations and adds to every group discussion by his knowledge and logical approach. ANN ETON Major: History. Minor: Social Studies. Degree: B.S. in Educa- tion. Al'fjl'ffi6.i'C Curved Horn Staiig Grail Staffg War Memorial Drive: Gannon Council: Interracial Clubg Literary Club: His- tory club. Ann has successfully combined the three roles of housewife, mother, and student. She has endeared herself to the class as an energetic leader and untiring scholar. Admiration attests to her unselfish and cooperative class spirit. JOSEPH A. FERRARA Major: Social Studies. Minor: Philosophy. Degree: B.S. Arfi1'itie.f: Sodality lg Debating Society.

MARIE CUOMO 1l'fdj0I'Z Elementary Education. Minor: Speech. Degree: B.S. in Education. Aclizfitierz French Clubg Curved Horn Staff, Sodality 1, 2, 3, 4g War Memorial Drive. Marie is one of the few people able to do a favour so graciously as to give the impression that she values the pleas- ure of the person she is helping more highly than she values the time and labor required to help. She is a person endowed with abiding sincerity, the gift of those who possess true peace of mind. VIRGINIA CUSHNER Major: Government. Minor: History. Degree: B.S. Afriifiriefz Sodality 1, 2, 3, 4. Slim, sophisticated Virginia is the ideal career girl. In her own unobtrusive way, she is completely adult. Calm, efticient, independent, she works with mature determination toward her goal . . . a career in law. Portia herself could do no more. TERRY DE MARTINI Major: Chemistry. Minor: Biology. Degree: B.S. Artivilier: Sodality 1, Mimes and Mummers. Ever since the first day Terry entered Fordham she has dis- played a friendly and fun-loving spirit. Even though she was a campus trotter and a jersey commuter, she found time to avidly particpate in all school functions. Her chic appear- ance accentuates her vivacious nature. ' VINCENT N. DEVIVO Major: History. Minor: Classics QLatin and Greekj. Degree: B.S. in Education. We can't help but admire the ambition of such a person as Vince. He has already started his graduate work in the Ford- ham School of Arts and Sciences. This plus his cordiality will add new friendships to the many he has made here. 19

ELIZABETH FERRIGAN Major: English. Minor: Social Studies. Degree: B.S. in Educa- tion. Arfizfilierz Sodality 2, 3, 4, Secretary of the Sodalityg Math Club: War Memorial Drive: Student Council Secretary, '48. Betty possesses the ability to be diligent in her work with apparent ease and enjoyment. She has quite rightfully been selected for the responsible position of Secretary of the Stu- dent Council. Wfhatever she does, she does thoroughly and cheerfully. ELIZABETH FLAURAUD Major: Mathematics. Minor: Physics. Degree: B.S. in Edu- cation. Acii1 ,ftie.v: History Club, Math Club: Sodality 1, 2, 3, 4. Betty is our pleasant paradox. She takes her place in the tra- ditionally masculine field of Mathematics with unassuming graciousness and astonishing proficiency. Her shy, reserved manner, camouflages a lively interest in people. She discusses with facility and intensity, quadratic equations and the New Look, electronic radiation and Harry Babbit's latest record. Versatility is the sum and substance of Betty's individuality. KENNETH FLETCHER Major: Social Studies. Minor: Philosophy. Degree: B.S. Arlizfitier: Class Officer: Secretary, '36, Treasurer, '37g De- bating Society, Sodality 1. Ken has a mature approach to all he does. Kindness and optimism flow from this person of sterling character. He has a depth of understanding: a clarity of purpose. PAUL FLINT Major: Social Studies. Minor: History. Degree: B.S. in Educa- tion. Arfizfirier: Gannon Council, Sodality 1, 2, 3. This Waslmington commuter was seen very seldom at Fordham this year due to his attendance at Catholic University, but he never seemed to lose track of his friends, nor they of him! Aifable, friendly and sincere, Paul is an excellent student. He can always be relied upon to inject a particularly astute com- ment into a discussion, and to enliven any gathering by his contagious wit. 21
