1940 TOWER P ERHAPS the reason why Mad has proved such an invaluable asset to the Varsity Basketball team is that she is able to show in athletics the same qualities that characterize her in other spheres. She can read the intentions of her opponents, and with speed and skill she follows the best line of action. Her farsighted¬ ness has forstalled trouble wherever Mad has been part of an organization. Understanding the value of faultless teamwork, she can win the cooperation of everyone because she is the first to cooperate. Her good sportsmanship in the face of both defeat and victory as surely ascertains success in the future as it has caused it in the past.

Major — Sociology Minor — History Miriam Ahern, E. de M. 305 Convent Ave., New York, N. Y. Holy Child Academy New York, New York M IRIAM has shown herself able to do two all engrossing things simultaneously. She is a more than adequate student and a very active member of far from pacifistic clubs. That she has been a successful devotee of the muses is proved by the fact that she has belonged to both the Glee and the Dramatic Clubs:—in the former capacity she impressed us all by her performance as the hero of the “Hundred Pipers”; as a member of the Dramatic Club she has appeared in almost every play. Again, the fact that she has played on the Class Teams in both Hockey and Basketball ever since she came to college manifests no mean powers along the athletic line. What we will perhaps best remember her for, however, is not the variegated and successful career, but rather her friendliness and generosity, which we have never known to fail. Eighteen

Major — Philosophy Minor — History Mimi Bourgeois, E. de M. 305 Lexington Avenue New York, New York Kenwood, Convent of the Sacred Heart Albany, New York M IMES genial, somnolent attitude toward life seems to us a decidedly pleasant one and Mimi has also made it profitable. The gifts of the gods pour abundantly and impartially through her hands, twice blessed, on everyone who happens to be around at the moment. The vicissitudes of a college career dwindle materially before our eyes as she turns out term papers on abstruse philosophical tangles without manifesting in the pro¬ cess any of the inelegant concentration which is apt to detract from the transcendental serenity of the true philosopher. Mimi displays an unexpected fund of energy in her dealings with Catholic Action and other strenuous organizations, where her services are doubly appreciated because of the practical nature of her interest.
