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.

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.

9 4 o T O W E R T HERE is a certain kind of cheerfulness which palls; and there is another, more opportune, which is conspicuous by its ab¬ sence; but then there is that most desirable kind of all, which Zaida possesses in abundance and without stint. Always one can count upon her stability of temperament, and always one knows that she will not be a Pollyana of politeness. She seems to strike the happy balance with a fine careless art that does away with arti¬ ficiality almost unnoticeably. We know also that together with her dissembling radiance of countenance Zaida possesses a fund of determination spread among many activities, the which she concentrates in all its force upon whatever task she is set to at the moment. The results are stupendous in a quiet sort of way; the cause incomprehensible unless you are lucky enough to know Zaida. Zaida Bravo P. ().
