Major — Sociology Minor — History CATHERINE BAKER, E. de M. 556 Barry Avenue, Chicago, Illinois Convent of the Sacred Heart, Chicago, Illinois T HE “windy city” sent Katie to Manhattanville. She filled the college with her charm, her own special friendliness, and above all, with that touch of common sense which makes her so particularly endearing. Katie is a competent gloom dispeller; one only has to watch her nose wrinkle just a bit as she summons her smile, and whisk, your woes have gone. Of long and enduring fame are those orchids; never did the most glamorous star that stepped off the East-bound train wear nearly so large, or nearly so beautiful flowers. Bright and gay, Katie has paved her path through college and through life with all the good things, with gentleness mingled with spirit, and laughter springing from joy, and understanding which always aids in friendships.

Naturally talented in athletics she shines in hockey and LaCrosse, and gets winter sunburns from long hours of skiing. She has a little-girl look which is the bane of her existence, a love for Greenwich Village, an enviable ability to translate English into French, and a slow smile ending in a pair of dimples. But the thing we will remember best about Mon is her staunch defense of things British against the good-natured harrying of the Irish constituents. She leaves us to go home to England, and all our blessings go with her. 18

Major — Mathematics Minor — History CLASS O F 19 4 3 MARIE BLISH, E. de M. 18 Elk Avenue, New Rochelle, New York New Rochelle High School, New Rochelle, New York M ARIE and Sally must have had a lot of laughs dur¬ ing these four years out of our perpetual inability to tell them apart. Even some of their own classmates cannot always be sure which is which. But it doesn’t really matter who it is, for we love them both. Marie is the mathematician of the cluo, with a mathematician’s regard for details and fine points, and a flair for precision and neatness. This attention to details serves her well in arguments, which incidentally she loves, and most often wins. Practical and conscientious, she is also gay and friendly, loves excitement, fun, and especially, teasing her friends. 20
