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

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

Constance Dillon, E. de M. Convent of the Sacred Heart Maplehurst, New York “With thy clear, keen joyance Languor cannot be.’’ There is one thing about Connie, she seems to have no trouble in synthesizing apparent contradictions: brilliant French essays and six-love, six-love, six-love tennis sets are, generally speaking, antithetical, but Connie attacks both with a light-hearted grin. There are also many other things about Connie: she not only does things, but is someone—a very grand person. She not only thinks but feels; and hers is the rare gift of handing out happiness (to others) with both hands. 28
