Major — Philosophy Minor — History CLASS O F 19 4 3 PATTY CAMERON, E. de M. 3275 Blaine Avenue, Detroit, Michigan Convent of the Sacred Heart, Grosse Point, Michigan C OME with us along the road of fancy into late sum¬ mer — a time of blue delphiniums lighted by the loveliness of soft, clear skies. In that aerial land of elfen- folk and hushed mystery, we can see a lone figure steal¬ ing into this world of reality; and we can recognize a “bonnie lass” with patrician grace and a dimpled, whim¬ sical smile — all so inimitable and esteemed. Patty’s un¬ ruffled serenity can cope with unexpected complications, tending to ease the strains of campus life, and a clever joke finds quick response in her amused chuckle. Fastid¬ ious in appearance, unique in personality, philosophical in outlook, she has been unassuming yet resolute in her work for Welfare, her class and the college. Above every¬ thing else, however, we believe that to know Patty is to know sterling gentility, which is an enriching distinction and a singular object of our appreciation. 24

Major — English Minor — History IT I JOAN BYLES, E. de M. 574 West End Avenue, New York, New York Convent of the Sacred Heart, Maplehurst, New York City R EFRESHING as an early spring crocus, Joanie is as lovely as she appears. We are forever reminded of an old-fashioned bouquet. Wholesome with a poet’s whimsy, Joan is a promise to the older generation that the sweetness of a lady will never be passe. Her reserved and unpretentious manner belie her bright spirit and joviality. Besides willingness for work, for laughter, and for friendship, she possesses that rare combination of sincerity and ability. She has lent the spirit of real sports¬ manship to the A.A. and the college has gained by it, and by the generosity of this unusual person. CLASS O F 19 4 3 23

Major — French Minor — Classics ADELE CASEY, E. de M. 396 East 4th Street, Brooklyn, New York Saint Saviour, Brooklyn, New York A DELE could well qualify for the title of Manhattan- ville’s jack-of-all-trades — for whenever any help is needed, she capably and generously steps in. This loyal Dodger fan from you-can-guess-where, is something of a human dynamo, for her energy seems inexhaustible. Her interests are of the deep, worthwhile variety: philosophy, the classics, and real culture; it is typical of Adele to be interested in the French people rather than only in their language, which is her major. Though a helpful and discerning critic for the English Club, she has the happy faculty of seeing the best in everybody. Indeed, what we appreciate most about Adele is her cheerful willingness to meet anyone more than halfway. CLASS O F 19 4 3 25
