Limestall ' :'lVIalice towards none, charity for all, are words which Virginia strives diligently to convey to others through each work she performs. Our Chicago halJy's sunny nature and unassum- ing ways have caused her to he a most welcome addition to the senior ranks. Like the worthy sea captain, 'gGinny unfailingly has a tale of Chicago to spin to the sparkling amusement of all. Efficiency to the degree of pleasantness, willing hands, always awaiting opportunity to be put to good use. While on the subject of hands, we should also mention her artfulness of manipulating them for conversational purposes: her gestures can relate almost as accurately as her tongue. Virginia has a hardy enthusiasm for apple pie' and a deep appreciation for music: she tries so hard with those weekly piano lessons! Her great aversion is'for selfishness which she herself is careful to avoid. Her simple faith has goneghand in hand with her genuine love for children and these in turn inspired her to become a kindergarten teacher, Virginia's future charges will receive much from so generous a giver. Charity is a virtue of the heart and not of the hands. The usqful and the beautiful are never separated .... ao

Lise could best be described as the girl who was always willing to grant a favor though it meant the expense of much self-sacrifice. Her graciousness always seemed to win over the difficulties. Her motto, To do, or die portrayed itself most often in a concrete manner in chemistry class, where, at times, the elements reacted in an unforeseen, and sometimes, dan- gerous manner. She seemed to us to be the type of person who could set the world on fire with her enthusiasm for life and the effortless means by which she derived the greatest pleasure from trivial things. Fatima Hall long celebrated her as Chief Beautician and has known her for her delight in crumb apple pie, even though a few too many days old. In English class, she was known for her ability to summarize assignments in almost equal the length of the original selection. It seemed more difficult for Lise to express herself in two sentences than in six meticulously written pages. Her driving ambition is to fulfill ever more perfectly and fruitfully the will of God and we know that in accomplishing this, Lise will bring to perfection the talents and amiable qualities we have witnessed in her. He who lms resolved to conquer or to die is seldom conquered 29

Our class artist, winner of a four year scholarship to the Mount, has shown remarkable talent and exquisite taste in the world of fashion, and even the art of the moderns receives an intelligent understanding from her. Although known for her reserve, Madeline has been a most cooperative participator in school activities, especially when there was decorating to be done- for a dance. Talent is not limited to the artistic field, however, for she is also an able writer, and has an appreciative ear for semi-classical music and poetry. All of this, coupled with a philosophy of life as ulf at first you don't succeed, try, try again, will ensure for her a very successful future. We are sure her plans include the field of art to which she will certainly be able to contribute generously. Gentle of slbeeclo, bene cent of mimi
