JUNIOR AUSPITZER 35 Lawrence Avenue Lawrence, Long Island Convent of the Sacred Heart 91st Street, New York City One of the many nice things about Junior is her quiet, businesslike approach to her work, which, somehow or other, enables her to accomplish it so efficiently, and yet so rapidly that it presents no serious obstacle to her enjoying an amazing succession of exceptionally good times. Having trav¬ eled widely in Europe, she is naturally interested in foreign languages, pre¬ ferring the study of German, although her most serious attentions have generally centered about those phases of her studies most helpful in preparing for a career in medical social service. But, above all. Junior is our favorite collector. As Treasurer of her class she has collected monthly dues, perform¬ ing somewhat similar functions as Treasurer of the Soci al Science Club; for her own amusement, she has collected a varied assortment of records, books, photographs and trinkets; and, needless to say, while at college, she has col¬ lected about her very many good friends!

LATHROP ALLEN, E. J e M. Den slow Road New Canaan, Connecticut Nightingale Bamford School If anyone should hear a hearty, contagious laugh proceeding from the gen¬ eral direction of the Assembly Hall and St. Gregory’s—that would be Lath- rop. If anyone should contemplate a free evening and hear behind her a resolute step and a determined voice warning of Madrigals or proper prac¬ tice—that would be Lathrop. For Lathrop herself is so interested in music that she tries to give that interest to others. And hers is the true enthusiasm which shows itself in actual participation in the music of the college and in real work for the betterment of college singing. For two years, she has been President of the Choir and, under her, choir membership has increased steadily while enthusiasm for the Missa Cantata has spread rapidly. Al¬ though it may interrupt processions and confuse seating arrangements in the chapel, we must congratulate the Choir and its President on its splendid work this year.

KATHRENE BEISH, E. de M. 18 Elk Avenue New Rochelle, New York Convent of the Sacred Heart Maplehurst, New York City Kay is one of our favorite commuters especially since she has demonstrated that the virtue of punctuality need not be accompanied by a harried ex¬ pression of unwilling haste. Somehow she seems to have no need to hurry. She simply acts sanely and intelligently, fully aware that things done prop¬ erly usually turn out for the best. Studying what she likes because she likes it, she listens calmly and attentively to what is said, and her subsequent questions invariably reveal an astute comprehension of the matter discussed. Still, we particularly associate Kay with music, recalling with delight her inimitable Hebe in Pinafore and continuing to admire the intriguingly varied range of her musical preferences. Nevertheless, while we enjoy her songs and appreciate her characteristic efficiency, what we will always like best about Kay is her perfectly grand disposition, which has proved to be consistently serene, gracious, and ineffably agreeable to all.
