GRACE COSGRAVE, E. Je M. 207 Park Street Montclair, New Jersey Convent of the Sacred Heart Maplehurst, New York City Since success in any activity, and especially in athletics is largely propor¬ tional to the development of one’s powers of co-ordination, we cannot be amazed at Grace’s achievements, for she has always revealed an extraor¬ dinary capacity for ordering things e fficiently and smoothly with an ap¬ parent modicum of recourse to outside assistance. Consequently, she has proved herself an invaluable member of many a class team, and above all, has won recognition as an efficacious contributor to college life in general. So it is not at all surprising, that although primarily concerned with pursuits relevant to the sociological work, and unusually active in Social Science Club functions, she has also manifested considerable interest in English literature and in philosophic studies and discussions. We know now, that her hobbies include bridge and knitting, but we will probably best remem¬ ber her competency, her unfailing thoughtfulness and her most engaging disposition. [ 29 ]

SHEILA COLLINS, E. de M. 4 Russell Terrace Pittsfield, Massachusetts St. Joseph ' s High School Those who know Sheila, know her as a good friend, sincere and sympathetic, working in the historic field, yet enjoying an occasional venture into scientific activity of a sort—hospital work among test tubes and slides. She is an active person in athletics and her keen interest in sports, particularly swim¬ ming, has led to a great many honors in this line. She is this year’s Secretary of the Athletic Association. But her beautiful swimming and diving are her claim to fame in the college. Each year we watch with something akin to envy as at the various swimming meets she carries off the honors for form in diving and for the strength and swiftness of her crawl. For these things, she has been a valuable member of the Aquatic Club and its very good President, directing and taking part in all its activities, spreading enthusiasm by her own interest. [ 28 ]

HELEN COUPE, E. de M. 8 Talcott Road Utica, New York New Hartford High School, New Hartford, New York Helen is the kind of person whom everyone knows and accepts as a friend who is thoughtful and considerate of others. Her interests are balanced and carried beyond the mere surface of things. We see her enjoying music, fol¬ lowing philosophic lectures, taking her place in college athletics, and even probing mathematics. Indeed, she is one of the brave few who have faced mathematics squarely, conquered it, and found it not only worth while but fascinating. Perhaps it is from mathematics that she has acquired a definite taste for precision and a practical turn of mind. For Helen has been manager of the Varsity Tennis team and a very efficient and successful manager at that. Her good sportsmanship as well as her real interest in athletics have found her on many class teams. Particularly in swimming has she excelled, but neither tennis nor hockey has found her in the spectator group. [30 ]
