AGNES NITCH Adam ST PATRICK Aluuys smiling.’ Under the successful guidance of our capable Mission President, the Mission Society reached a high standard of achievement. Agnes used a lot of push to get the Charter for the Society. It would take a volume to describe all of Adam's good qualities and that's too much work for us because she has so-co-o-o-o-o many. Do not forget that a valuable asset in the nursing profession is a smile. Therefore, keep yours always. CLAUDE NITCH Kitch ST. PATRICK A gentleman and a scholar, but above all a true friend. Claude has a reputation for being a plugger. and this accounts for the reason why he can't be kept down meaning in football, as well as in school.

Dot is an excellent dancer; and she possesses a fine voice, which was frequently heard in the operettas and cantatas Although she is often late for school, she is always present when any activity is going on. If the past is an indication of what the future holds. Dot will be a success. JAMES PARKINSON Parky ST. JOHN CUALBERT My tongue within my lips 1 rein. For who talks much must talk in vain. Parky” is one of the silent boys of the class He does not waste time talking, but is a firm believer in hard work as we all have seen. Nothing ever happens to disturb Parky's innate serenity Although industrious. Parky does not look like a book- worm Parky will have little trouble in attaining a high standard of success, for his determination and perseverance are his assurance of it. GRACE PARKS Gracie ST.

Always prepared to help others, she never begrudges a favor accomplished for others. In her you find a cheerful spirit which brightens a gloomy crowd; however, large crowds are not to her liking; she seems content when alone reading a thrilling mystery story Her sympathy for her friends is enough to soften a heart of stone. She appreciates a warm thank you and always re- turns it with a great smile of welcome. MICHAEL PETRUSKA Mil{e” ST. STEPHEN Brevity is the soul of unt.” Mike's slow and short answers gave many a laugh to us. He did slow but impressive work during his career at Catnolic Hi He often heeded the quotation Reserve thy judgment We shall particularly feel the loss of Mike because of his comical attitude toward any serious subject. We could not find his intentions for the future but we know they are good and hope he will succeed in them.
