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

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.

Major — Philosophy M inor — Education SALLY BLISH, E. de M. 18 Elk Avenue, New Rochelle, New York New Rochelle High School, New Rochelle, New York S ALLY’S penchant is toward philosophy to balance her twin’s talent for math. She is like Marie in many ways — in friendliness, sense of humor, love of life, but she is a little more quiet, a little more thoughtful. Always in a hurry to do this or get that finished, Sally seems to have a large supply of energy which never runs out. This energy shows up to good advantage at the various games, where she and Marie are dependable members of the cheering section. Manhattanville is going to miss its twins, and that surprised feeling of apparently seeing double. Perhaps if we had a few more years, we could have learned to tell them apart! CLASS O F 1 9 4 21 3
