C. .... 2-4 MARY JO MERX Merxie ANNA MINDALA Honey St. Joseph St. lViary's Greek Catholic A good heart's worth gold. A great piano player in every sense of the word. Merxie has long been noted for her versions of popular pieces. God was liberal in bestowing his gifts on her, for, besides be- ing talented musically, she has always ranked high in her studies and in the opinion of her friends. Her excellent handwriting, which suggests that she and Mr. Palmer are good friends, enables her to present one of the neatest bookkeeping assignments of the class. We expect her to go far in the commercial world. MARY McCABE Boots Prefect of the Sodality. St. John Gualbert Impossible is un-American. Small in sature only, Boots has for four years proved to be a joy to her clasmates. She is always very generous with her time and ability and is very often called upon to do many different tasks. After much competition, Mary was chosen by her classmates to be the Prefect of the Sodality. She has tried her hand at many things and has brought success to all. She loves danc- ing and proves a star in penmanship. Perhaps she may be called a Jack of all Trades. Prince Gallitzin Pageant ........ 1 Mission Representative .... 1 Her modest looks the cottage might adorn, Sweet as the primrose peeps beneath the thorn.' Anna came to us from Garfield High in her junior year. Her talent has been revealed to us through the vivid posters bearing her name that we have seen posted about the halls. The radio presents itself as one of her favorite pastimes but she is also fond of ten- nis and bowling. Honey is the possessor of an outstanding attendance record, broken only once all through her twelve years. And during all th's long period, she did not fail once in punctuality. A rare accomplishment! A girl who is well groomed in appearance and gracious in manner. Blessings on thee, clever maid. JOANN McCANN Jo Visitation Perseverance overcomes everything. Joann, better known as Joe among her friends, and consequently, almost universally known by that name, is a rare combination of genius and class favorite. Although she has made the honor roll throughout her four years, she has retained that sweet simplicity which endears her to us all. As Irish as her name, Joann's favorite color is green. She enjoys skating and basketball and joins whole-heartedly in all social under- takings. We'll always remember Jo as a classmate and friend.

MEMCRIES CATHERINE MARCINKO Cathy St. Stephen The fair, the chaste, and unexpressive she. This blonde classmate has the distinction of being a permanent Honor Roll member. Her kind and helpful manner, and her ever gentle voice have made many of us play favorites. Among Calthy's outside activities, we find that skating rolls along at the top of the list. with dancing, following a few fancy steps bc- hind. The point of the pen ,ls one of Cathy's strong points, and we are sure she could champion any cause with it. Her poems, short stories and essays brought much de- light to her student audience. Aiming high, this Miss has set her amb tion on becoming a nurse and thus aiding human- ity. STEPHEN MARSHALL Steve Class President Our Mother of Sorrows He is a gentle, true, and perfect knight. Stephen ,a citizen of Southmont, is known to his friends as Steve Although not a brilliant scholar in languages, he is a mathe- matical wizard. Steve s patient and pos- sesses a splendid sense of humor. His favor among his classmates won for him the dis- tinctive office of class president. W'e are glad that his artist c talent was discovered in time to find a place in 1943 Memories Steve is usually seen hitching a ride to Southmont and his now see here! can often times be heard from the least expected places. Steve , we are sure, will persevere in any undertaking in life. Librarian ...... 2-3-4 T. K. B. C1ub-- 4 S. C. A.... 4 C. C.

She is a fun-loving, jovial sort of person who is always welcome in any crowd. She's the bashful type until you get to know her. Her charming manner and lov- able personality have won her many friends. Some scientist should patent her laughfhe would reap a fortune. No need to ask Tinca to be candid, for she 's just that and tells one just what she thinks in a few words. A friend---the link in life's chain that bears the greatest strain. Our tall, brunette Janet is one of the busiest girls in the Senior Class. Most of the time she was to be found in the typing room, typing some manuscript or a mission report in her capacity as Mission Secretary. Energetic and active, Janet is usually 'in the center of a crowd of joking students. Weasie is a true friend and a good sport. Dancing is one of her favorite pastimes. Twenty-seven

In Mac we find one of the prize possess- ions of the Class of '43. She is the personih- cation of kindly frankncss. A frown on hor face is evidence of a not-proving bookkeep- ing problem. Her gentle manner and spark- ling personality is an asset to any crowd. Her promptness is amaz'ng. She is either twenty minutes early in keeping an appointment or twenty minutes late. Betty's unusual number of acquaintances lets us know she is a regular girl about town. Thus do we wish smooth sailing to our future 'tEm'ly Post! DONALD MCMULLEN Moon St. Benedict Character must be kept bright as well as clean. Moon is a loyal Gsistowner and is never unable to defend the good name of this com- munity. He can be best described by such adjectives as punctual, atfentive, neat, and willing. He doesn't say much, but what he does say is sharp, sensible and true to the point. Like all boys, he likes sports, especi- ally, basketball and baseball. He was a val- uable player in the intramural league. In baseball he was associated with the ill-fated Geistown Orioles.

Mick is conscientious, loyal, active, and a leader fn all school activities. A gentle, urg- ing plea from Mick , and the project goes over wtih a bang . As bookkeper for the cafeteria, she has done a highly successful job, and work sheets and balance sheets are everyday pals as far as she is concernend. A class discussion wouldn't be if it weren't for her, as she is always ready to make sugges- tions as well as supply an equal amount of contradictions. She is not 'always serious, however, and fun and joking are all parts of her enviable character. Her favorite pastimes are eating, dancing and swimming. MILDRED MCMULLEN Dollie Visitation A blithesome heart makes a blooming Visage. Here we Hnd a typical Irish maid with loads of jolly humor. Dollie 's the fortunate owner of a fine vo'ce. Most of her time at school is spent over a math problem. One hobby she has selected is that of collecting phonograph records. She is always able to offer an honest and frank opinion on any matter up for dis- cuss'on. Johnny-on-the-spot best describes this clasmate. She would do anything rather than offend another's feelings.
