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

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

Mary Mooney Danaher, E. DE M. Convent of the Sacred Heart Kemvood, Albany, New York “Alnsic resembles poetry: in each Are nameless ( races which no methods teach And which a master hand alone can reach. Far from being a flighty temperamental artist in her talent for music, Alary— Dannie to her intimates—is the ever-dependable, self-effacing musician who can delight her audience with selections from Schubert, Schumann, or whatever composer has been chosen for the evening. It is to her that we owe the founding of the “Pitch Pipe Club ' where non-talented music lovers can mingle with the talented pianists without too great an inferiority complex. The general recognition of her ability claimed her for the presidency of the club. But Mary’s talent is not limited to music. She has the art of being a true friend. Whatever mood yours may be, Mary is your companion in joy or sorrow, mischief or duty. As life would indeed be dull without music, so life here at Manhattanville will not be quite as full of harmony when Mary leaves us. 25
