Kathleen Dempsey, E. de M. Convent of the Sacred Heart Madison Avenue, New York, New York “I dare do all that may become a man: Who dares do more is none.” We are inclined to associate sophistication with a certain coldness of nature, a dis¬ regard for the old faith and, quite frequently, unkindness. But now we have found a sophisticate who is none of these things, who is warm in her friendship, strong in her grasp of truth, tender in her sympathy. But more, a sophisticate who claims acquaint¬ ance with the best of the “litterati,” who can herself write beautiful and simple Chris¬ tian verse—such a modern is Kay. She has brought refreshment and stimulating humor to Manhattanville, and since we cannot conceive of her apart from Ann Carroll, to them both we say, “Don’t let a thing ever change you.” 26

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

Leo Diehl, E. de M. Ambler High School Pennsylvania “His words arc bonds, his oaths are oracles; His love sincere, his thoughts immaculate.” Have you ever seen a beacon light glowing in a tall white tower, high above a turbulent sea, a light that comforts storm-tossed sailors and weary watchers on the shore? There is security in the golden light, and to those who have the “seeing eye,” there is often romance and the fine web of which the dreamer weaves his fancies. Through all the years such a light will recall Leo, her idealism, her efficiency, her romanticism. Lor Leo, staunch friend and brilliant scholar, we ask but one gift-— may the gods keep her ever high in her pure white tower, above the deceits of men. 27
