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.

Mary Frances Burke, E. de M. Convent of Sacred Heart, Maplehurst Editorial Staff of The Essay, ’28; Editorial Staff of The Tower, ’28; Treasurer of Manhattanville Missionary Association, ’28; Classical Club, ’28; Debating Club, ’27-’28; Secretary, ’28; Public Debate, ’27, ’28; Dramatic Association, 28; French Play, ’25, ’26; French Club, ’27; Class Hockey Team, ’25, ’26, ’27, ’28; Class Basket¬ ball Team, ’27, ’28; Winner of the Wickham Award, ’27. r JpHE memory of Mary’s ever-ready laughter and of her smile answering ours over incidents of which we alone could see the humor, will be one of the pleasant memories of our four years together. 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.

Elizabeth Lodge Dolle, E. de M. Convent of the Sacred Heart, Clifton Advertising Manager of The Tower, ’28; Dramatic Association, ’28; Glee Club, ’25, ’26; Chairman Bridge Committee, ’28. jP RIENDLY, cheerful, and capable are the three adjectives which epitomize Elizabeth. To those who have known her for years, the friendliness needs no explanation, and upper and underclassmen can testify as to her cheerfulness, even during examination week. As chairman of the Gymnasium Fund Bridge, she evinced her capable, business-like qualities, and to her is due great credit for the wonderful success of the affair. When our new gymnasium is built, we shall remember grate¬ fully that Elizabeth was the first to help make it a possibility. Page twenty-seven
