Arden in nature and a perfec- tionist at heart, Pat overcomes life's tumbles and is a courageous battler in the strife against all that is not according to the mind of Christ. One of her less publicized traits is a bent for cooking, plus a poetic instinct that at times produces very pleasing results. But, Sister, I ' Can't, is intermittently her anguished plea, but usually before she finishes expressing the in- ability, she is attacking the challenging task with vitality. Her favorite periods during the day I besides English and History, of courselj are her commercial subjects in which she is quite eflicient. Perhaps they will be a predominant factor in her future, the happiness of which lies for her only in fulfilling whatever the Providence of Cod may have planned for her: 'sFairest and best adorned is she whose clothing is humility.

Assembly, 2, 3 Orchestra, 3 Mary Elizabeth Alter A good indication of Mary Lee's warmth and radiant good nature is that, a newcomerto St. John's this year, she found herself President of the Student Council and close runner-up in the election for the F all Queen , almost before she had time to learn the names of her new school companions. Possessing a seeming boundless array of talents, she has contributed much by her cooperation in projects and as an accompanist for the Clee Club. Her frank and equally sincere opinion has added much to discussions, and often threw a new, invigorating light on the topic. Leadership and an eager following are all but taken for granted. Outside activities include vocal training which has developed a naturally sweet voice, and an active participation in 4-H undertakings. Mary Lee has also won awards in homemaking in this connection. With such an optimistic and mature outlook on life we cannot but visualize a full and successful future for her. Nothing is impossible to the willing heart .... 22

Cerllllo Words come hard when one tries to adequately express Dee's spirit and our impression of her. Integrity would be her name -her motto: lf a thing is riffht stand boldly b it, if a thin 2: Y g is wrong then leave it alone. We have seen in her the bud and gradual blossoming of Christian womanhood - her poise and maturity have at times set us pensing . Seven years at St .lohn's have trained and molded her, and Dolores' indefativable willingness has more than ex re d . p .sse her gratitude. We can still see her hurrying through the halls on an errand for Sister Adolfa - or struggling with her pet , the Mimeograph Machine. In our memory's ear will linger the harmony she and Bruna sang together, one of the means employed to pick up drooping spirits or dispel someone's blues Neither is the spoken word neglected, for our Staff Secretary has de- veloped the art of public speaking and has used her ability in many school and social functions. Whatever the future holds, we are sure Dolores will not merely get a job' or ube a secretar Y - she will fulfill her role as a woman, probably as a social worker, and through the self-dedica- tion and fidelity we have happily noticed, be worthy of the wo1'ds of Scripture, Who shall find the valiant woman? Far and from the uttermost coasts is the price of her. There is nothing so powerful as truth. 24
