Vivian Bowe, E. de M. Convent of the Sacred Heart 91st Street, New York, New York Vivian gives such a brilliant perlormance in her diving and in her swimming, that we feel sure that some day she will add another Olympic pennant to the U. S. A. trophy halls. These are not her only accomplishments, however. She pursues Aris- totilian philosophy with an ardor that fills us with awe; and we give up in despair when she tosses off an A-p term paper with seemingly effortless grace. An invaluable friend, ready to help, she enters into everything with zest and a splendid spirit of endeavor. went v-seven

The dear, devoted and dependable Mercedes. Rightfully has she been called the little blessing’’ of the Glee Club. But this is just one of the mul¬ titude of her enterprises, which include every¬ thing from the Phi Mu Beta Chi to la tres charmante Primerose. She seems but to look at a talent and it is hers; then she uses it to the utmost. She presents that ever perplexing but wholly delightful problem: How can such a little package of humanity manage to accomplish so much? But we don t try to solve it, we just agree that it can be done; and watch with awe and admiration our wise and winsome Mercedes. I wenlv-six

Kay has that nobility of feature and openness of face that reminds one of a beautiful knight riding off in quest of the Grail. She is as debonair as a dashing cavalier, and has the endearing charms of an Elizabethan courtier. There is a medieval beauty in her appearance and as en¬ gaging frankness in her speech. Look to Kay for level-headedness combined with a cosmopolitan graciousness — she has just that, and even more of kindliness. Twenty-eight
