AINSLEE CELLA 2049 Centre Avenue Fort Lee, New Jersey Holy Angels Academy Fort Lee, New Jersey Trim, dark-haired, with an appealing half-humorous, half-ingenuous ex¬ pression, Ainslee has, in the first place, built up a most enviable reputation by reason of her cheerful dexterity in finishing assignments when said assignments are due, and doing them remarkably well. In leisure hours she becomes in rapid succession, a fervid devotee of the best in modern literature, a far from prosaic collector of old, rusty, history-laden coins and a camera enthusiast of the first rank, but never does she tend to lose contact with the field of social sciences in which lie her deeper interests. An ardent admirer of the power to do things efficiently, in which capacity we have never found her wanting, she is perhaps best-liked for the kindly candid manner in which she sets forth clear, well-formed op inions which, being invariably well- intentioned. succeed marvelously in being eminently helpful, never hurtful.

ADELE MARIE CALVARI, E. de M. 783 Madison Avenue New York City Convent of the Sacred Heart 91st Street, New York City We still remember a hat, a veritable dream of a hat, fashioned artistically of twisted goods, and surrounded by a chorus of Ohs” and “Ahs” from all assembled dayhops. Needless to say, it was one of Adele’s creations and was only enjoying richly deserved honors, for as anyone even remotely con¬ cerned with the activities of the 1 humb Tack Club is aware, its President has a remarkable talent for fashion designing and, what is more, is gifted with a singular deftness for converting her patterns into tastefully attractive realities. Still, Adele is not limited solely to these pursuits. Intensely inter¬ ested in other forms of art, she admits a preference for Raphael, strums har¬ moniously on the guitar, enjoys a fast game of badminton, collects lapel ornaments and would like to travel especially in Italy. Honest and straight¬ forward, she has won and maintained friendships for herself, as swiftly and certainly as she has won commendation for her art work. [25 ]

EILEEN AGNES COLLIGAN, E. J e M. 171 West 12th Street New York City Holy Cross Academy Your honor! After due consideration of its records for the past four years, Manhattanville is unalterably convinced of the certainty of Eileen’s swift advancement in her future legal career. First and foremost, her keen mind well adapted for sifting any situation quickly attains to the root of things. Secondly, her accomplishments in the Debating Club bear witness to her undoubted merit as a speaker. Furthermore, she displays no regrettable one¬ sided tendencies in her outside interests. She likes to write, enjoys a good game of tennis or ping-pong, plays the piano, collects souvenirs and dreams of a world cruise at a more propitious time. Just and friendly in her deal¬ ings with others she is noted for her thoughtfulness and tack Hence, we believe that the testimony of time will prove our contention. In the future as in the past, Eileen will win very many friends while influencing an extraor¬ dinary number of people. [ 27 ]
