CLAIRE CAUGHLAN Academy of St. Joseph Brentwood, New Jersey dry . . . diverse . . . deft Claire accomplishes all her duties with ease and quiet efficiency, and those duties here at college have been neither few nor light. She is an able and serious worker in all fields, but she is outstanding in debating and dra¬ matics, where her ability has shown itself to be of the highest quality. Her dry humor and her knack of telling a story make her extremely popular wher¬ ever she goes. Claire is one who is bigger than her job and she can toss off her work with a clever word and a ready laugh. Twenty-nine

BETTY CALLAHAN, E. de M. Convent of the Sacred Heart Kenwood, Albany, New York bantering . . . breezy . . . buoyant It is fun to be with Betty. Her love of a good time is contagious, and there are no spoil sports when she is around. The teasing pal that the entire college knows is also a very steady friend. She is generous almost to a fault, and her generosity proves itself not only in big things but in little thoughtful acts. Betty is a natural leader, and her sterling characteristics make her outstanding wherever she goes. Carefree, yet determined; teasing, yet sympathetic, Betty has a joke and a laugh and a warm heart with which to face the world. Twenty-eight

IMELDA CHOQUETTE, E. de M. Adams High School Adams, Massachusetts quaint . . . quick . . . quizzical Versatility is often a disturbing gift, but with Imelda it is an asset. For she possesses a rare power, characteristic of poet and philosopher, of mingling many talents into one pleasing harmony. That explains the paradox that has confronted us for four years, how the scholar extraordinaire and the life of the party” could be all rolled into one. Not only has Imelda survived after trans¬ lating that abstruse tome of M. Maritain, La Petite Logique,” but she has pre¬ served her exquisite delight in the absurd, and a sufficient gusto to render us anything from a frivolous French ditty to our favorite aria from Rigoletto.” She can quiet the raging pacifist with an epithet—we have heard her do it— and charm us all with her wuffling.
