Because she knows the wisdom of mixing her fun and her work, she excels in both. Her ability to enjoy the little absurdities of College life is equalled by the zest with which she meets the more important, if less generally appreciated, things. It is not because of her literary talents, however, that we love her. We love her because of her “sunniness of mind.” She is a friend whom we know we may trust to sympathize with us in our troubles and to increase our joys by the pleasure with which she enters into them.

Jane Catherine Berrigan, E. de M. Convent of Sacred Heart, Manhattanville The smile that is essential she. B AY , in and day out, rain or shine, Jane has entered our gates, shared our classes, and become such a familiar figure that to us she is part of Manhattanville itself. Quiet and unobtrusive, hers is nevertheless a dear presence among us. All who have known her will remember gratefully the warm friendliness of her even temper¬ ament. It is proof enough of her loyalty and faithfulness that after eight years of attendance at the Academy, when it was discontinued she did not leave Manhattan¬ ville, but stayed with us four years more. Jane deserves well of the future when she will reap the fruit of her labors, and we who love her wish that it may be a golden harvest. Page twenty-four

Ursula Ephrem Convery, E. de M. Ursuline Academy, New York City JF ONE were judging only by appearances, one would never suspect Ursula of being a mathematician, for her look is that of a dreamer, a poet. Nevertheless, mathe¬ matics is one of her special gifts. The most formidable problems in calculus never daunt her, and the ease with which she untangles the intricacies of analytic geometry is the envy of minds less keen. However, Ursula’s appearance is not really deceiving, for with her aptitude for mathematics she combines an aesthetic appreciation of the beauty of music, the expression of which in her piano playing has given us pleasure on many occasions. Though Ursula has always been a day-student and therefore we have not known her as well as we should have liked, she has given us ample proof of her kindness, thoughtfulness and loyalty.
