A lover of work without etfort, jo is searching for a college catalogue lacking intriguing passages on courses of study. N'l'c all wish we could produce such masterpieces of writing as jo tosses off with the greatest of ease. This talent for expression is found not only on paper but in her clever speech. lf we feel sour, perhaps from a sixty-two in French or from too many chocolate cookies, jo is ready to sympathize, to cheer us up with her quick wit, or perhaps to eat our last cookie for us. There is one day when jo's bubbling giggle does not echo merrily down the hall and that is Monday. This Mondayitis is accepted as a matter of course. Some day we may see a plane soaring above and if we focus the spy-glasses accurately, we shall see that ,lo is the pilot, for, believe it or not, she has taken to the air. XVe sincerely hope that she will soar as high with her literary talent-and we don't mean sky-writing. 21

GRACE CHESBROUGH RATHBUN 1937-1941 VVho is this Yictorian maiden with a tiny pink bow in her frizzed bangs, who writes about fuzzy rabbits and furry kittens? Blue Mondays are often enlivened by her cute little tales of how Putty spilled her milk all over lnky's silky black fur or how those two pets kept her tootsies warm last night. It was Grace who made those cunning little animal drawings in last year's Weaflzrr Vmzc, of which she was incidentally editor-in-chief. Hut on the tennis court, where she won the girls' city championship for two years, we see another side of her talent. How we envy those long full swings and backhand drives! As the captain of the Orange Team, she excels also in hockey and basketball, and swings a mean baseball bat. With charm and poise she led the chorus at last year's commencement. Her talents even extend to the stage- witness Rosey in Brief Music. Dwacie is noted for her friendly little giggle and the latest clippings from her home-made hair cut. 20

INTIMATIONS OF IMMORTALITY Vtfe, the class of '41, Our school must now forsake, But memories of youth and fun Into the world we take, And so in compensation we Leave these behind to bless The students and the faculty Of M. V. C. D. S. We leave Ann's wit to Mr. Blake And her facetiousness To keep the fifth and sixth awake Through science till recess. To Madame Geary we bequeath Our Betty's appetite, Especially for birthday cakes Always so Huffy-light. To Tony and Miss Parsons We Leave Marty's lovely hand, His themes to write more legibly, Her notes to understand. We do bequeath some forty winks Of Ellen's, in this will To work, we hope, a happy jinx On handsome, smiling Bill. All those whose nerves the buzzer pains May now relax because We leave Ruth's voice to make its strains A more melodious buzz. Poor Mr. Johnson, minus hair, Struggles with problems keen. Our gift to him will let him tear The hair of Josephine. We do bequeath the love Grace shows To all the feline clan To 'fSpot of the perceptive nose And spots, black, white, and tan. Before us looms the parting day We face with troubled mind. A thousand things we'll bear away- A few, we'll leave behind. 22
