Betty Bruce, E. de M. Academy of the Sacred Heart Grosse Pointe, Michigan “Like a white ca7idle hi a holy place.” An atmosphere of quiet peace that is found only where there is deep faith and strong love is what we have come to associate with Betty. Her integrity has been rooted in the deep conviction of truth and has been actualized by an unswerving loyalty to duty and ideals. Gracious in her executive office, strong in her womanliness, tender in her kindness, quiet in her godliness, she has been like a steady flame, a glowing candle, lighting and brightening many hearts at Manhattanville. 23

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

Anna Cocuzza Saint Lawrence Academy New York City, New York “Age cannot wither nor custom stale her infinite variety. ' ' Anna’s unusual personality combines the intensity of the South and the composure of the North. An offhand manner conceals her singularly gifted mind; a lovely voice, which few have had the privilege to hear because she is so unassuming, and a genius for poetry, are evidences of a rare and artistic nature. When her friendship is won it is esteemed because of her independence and discriminating taste. No one knows quite what to expect from Anna, though it is felt that when she speaks, her point of view, however original, will be worth while. 24
