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

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 — Mathematics Minor — Sociology CLASS O F 19 4 3 DORSEY COHOLAN, E. de M. 617 Lincoln Road, New Britain, Connecticut Convent of the Sacred Heart, Kenwood, Albany, New York I F you should hear a voice tactfully but firmly remind¬ ing you of choir practice, that voice would be Dorsey’s; for her own interest in music is so great that she gener¬ ously wishes to share it with others. One of those amaz¬ ing math majors who revel in formulae and x y z’s, she has developed a taste for the practical and the essential which she has carried over into many fields. An extremely energetic person, she enjoys hockey and tennis, and dotes on long walks. Music is her primary interest, however — any form of classical music, and symphonies in particular. Dorsey herself reminds us somewhat of a Haydn sym¬ phony — pleasant . . . whimsical . . . graceful . . . cul¬ tured . . . reserved, but at times delightfully “surprise”- ing. 26
