DOROTHY JANE BOYTON, E. de M. 2609 Voorhies Avenue, Brooklyn 29, New York Convent of the Sacred Heart, 1 East 91st Street, New York, New York Brooklyn is full of surprises, and one of the most pleasant ones it has produced is Dorothy. A dependable source of information on the quickest route from Prospect Park to the Biltmore lobby, Dorothy is always ready to help anyone in any problem. Although she groans about “practice teaching,” she has quietly succeeded in surmounting the difficulties, and not a hair out of place. That’s the way we will remember Dotty. Unruffled and perpetually smiling, she managed the varsity basketball for two seasons, won the Aisy Sullivan Cup, and sailed through four years with no apparent trouble. We know she’ll keep on that way, always smoothing out bumps for other people, and consequently finding happiness for herself.

MILDRED CATHERINE ROYLAN 55 Olive Place, Forest Hills, New York St. Angela Hall. 292 Washington Avenue, Brooklyn, New York When politics get too political and perusing Poe becomes appalling, in fact whenever we feel upset and rushed, we ll think of Mil, and wish her quieting influence were still here. Don’t think from that, that she isn’t gay. There’s a light in her dark eyes that signifies a lively nature. The loveliness we see in Mildred ' s face comes from a loveliness inside. We often needed that influence. Her quiet, smiling sincerity made our own problems seem pretty simple after all. Mildred is a rare and unusual person, and we shall value her friend¬ ship as we treasure all rare and beautiful things.

i MARY PATRICIA BRODY, E. de M. 501 West 134th Street, New York City Father Young S. J. Memorial Academy, New York City Mary is for once a perfect example of that much-used phrase, “Still waters run deep.” And those waters are quiet, calm, and very, very clear. Mary is an unusually intelligent and logical person with a fine sense of justice, and ability to see an issue equally; and she has the courage of the true idealist who will defend her cause against any opposition. She is a good friend to have, loyal and delightfully un¬ expected in her humor, a person of reliability, sincerity and unassum¬ ing charm. We will remember Mary with gratitude for what she has given here, and our love goes with her as she leaves.
