9 3 9 TOWER T HERE are very few things at college that haven t benefited by the exhilarating effect of Braddy s enthusiasm. Her unflagging interest coidcl revive the feeblest enterprise, her ability to believe that th ings are worthwhile is like a restorative and can convince even the most skeptical of her confreres. She is never a wearisome crusader because she woulcln t think of approaching her pet projects with sententious and dutiful dullness; instead she applies a lot of obvious enjoyment to the work she has to do, with an ulterior motive this would be like Tom Sawyer painting the fence. However, we think that she writes good short stories and debates well and plays earnestly for the class teams because she can find amusement and pleasure even in hard things. Helen Bradford, E. de M.

Major — English. Agnes Boyland, E. de M. Academy of Mount St. Ursula New York, New York I N her own field she is always able to find the highest praise and the widest publicity. Her short stories are breathlessly discussed all over the campus three months before the publication of the Essay so that, when they finally arrive, they are met by a large and impatient welcoming committee. None of her literary efforts ever really need this synthetic build-up but the advance notice should be statistically inter¬ esting as an index to her popularity ■— 1 which is dependably firm as com¬ pared with that of most unfortunate contributors. Since Agnes is such a good writer it is only appropriate that she should be one of the pillars of the English Club — which she is. Twenty-six

Major — English. Sara Brady, E. de M. St. Agnes Academy, Rockville Center, Long Island, New York S ARA, besides Laving enough determination to drag any project through, if necessary by force, is blessed with the wit and the social graces to be able to cause these revolutions painlessly and diplomatically. She can be, on occasions, the very grande dame but at other times she is unconstrainedly friendly and riotously exuberant. All of which means not that she has a chameleon disposition, changing senselessly, but that she can adapt herself gracefully and effortlessly to suit any situation. She is kind and thoughful in circumstances that others, less observant, would ignore and yet she is never solemn and sententious about it, her sense of humor is too good for that. Twenty-eight
