Eoin Someone to deftly slip a basketball to a more spectacular but no more skilful playerg someone to substitute with a nice soprano in the choirg someone to make first honors and not even tell anyone so, someone to proctor tactfully that is Edith Bailey. Complete naturalness and a charming lack of pretense and posing make her worthwhile. Edith never tries to seem anything that she is notg but, we know, she is a lot more than she thinks she is. It may be trite to talk about smiles, but Edith's smile is by no means trite, for she smiles because she is glad to see people, and that is the best of reasons for smiling. And then she is so enthusiastic about doing things, and she is grateful for and appreciative of so much that most people take for granted. She also is one of the remarkable people who can be nice to everyone whether she gets any results from being nice or not. The Cricket has been helped by her originalityg the Green teams, both in hockey and in basketball, owe her a vote of thanksg we Seniors owe her many, many thanks for just being nice to us.

What would we do without someone to quietly help us along when the sea has become a little choppy? Marie has the gift of discerning the best things in life and appreciating them. Even this trait she shares with others for, in the lovely themes she writes, there is always a sense of fineness and an expression of excellent qualities which suggest her own character. Her achievements have been quietly attained, and she has gained much in her work here at Birmingham. Maries sincerity has proved her greatest charm, a charm by which she has endeared herself to all of us. Her next step will be Wells College where she will also be regarded highly, because of her sweet dispositiong they will love her there as we have here. When her name is mentioned, we will always be conscious of the saying, just to have known her has been a gain. Twentyffowr

Not only with a flaming coiffure does janet revert to the great artists, but, l'm sure that the great masters would feel janet's power of expression when she is playing the piano, and would be def lighted with the living beauty of her singing. Many times have we stopped our tasks to listen to the inspiring tones of janet's voice as she practices in the music studio. janet's wonderful musical ability seems to be a part of her life. It has created her inner character. Not many of us have learned to know Janet as well as we would have liked, but we have seen a few things about her that are impossible to overlook. janet is generous in recognizing her neighbors' good points and virtues and just as generous in overlooking their faults. Now that Janet is leaving us we want to send her away wishing for her the greatest success with her music and hoping that some day her ambition to study music in Italy will be realized. Twentyfsix
