Rosalie Breen, E. de M. D ominican Academy New York City, New York Form’d by thy converse happily to steer From grave to gay, from lively to severe; Correct with spirit, eloquent with ease, Intent to reason, or polite to please. ’ Delightful and gay as a debutante, wise and able as a trained executive—whether Rosalie be efficiently directing a dramatic rehearsal or winsomely playing “Meg,” she is equally at her ease. A scale in perfect balance: so she is symbolized for us: intelligent conversation, wise management, skillful debating in one measure, in the other, dramatic talent, sympathetic charm, gay gracefulness. We may truly say of her, “a modern whose life is moulded on the age-old truths.” 21

Ann Carroll Baxter Convent of the Sacred Heart Eden Hall, Pennsylvania “ They laugh that win.” 1 here is such a world of difference between a realist and a modern pagan, between one who sees life as it really is, composed of both spiritual and material elements, and one who strives to see only the material. The latter is inclined to cynicism, the former to healthy good humor that gives rise to sincere infectious laughter even at one’s own expense. Ann Carroll is such a realist, endowed with a keen sense of humor, a fine sense of honor, and above all a sane view of life, a firm faith in the eternal values. She is smartly modern, but not brittle; she is clear-sighted but not disillusioned. In short, she is “Annie ’ to us, and we are her friends. 20

T OWER Betty Brown, E. de M. Cathedral High School New York City, New York Thumb Tack Club ’35; Club Espanol ’35; Pitch Pipe Club ’35. “His pencil was striking, resistless and grand; His manners were gentle, complying, and bla?id.” A pastel drawing of a few dainty roses arranged in a blue vase—and the artist of symbol might say “Voila Betty.” And she herself might draw such a picture—we have seen the finely-drawn sketches that have been her work and our delight at Manhattan- ville. We have admired her womanliness, applauded her loyalty, and marveled at her talents. Disciple of true beauty, she has found a lasting place in the art gallery of Man- hattanville—not through her artistic triumphs alone but through her generous love and kindly spirit. 22
