Her warmth of personality and ability to enjoy all the 'good things of life have tempered her talent to organize and lead. Although ever ready to cooperate in anything that might be asked, Mary Alice, throughout her whole school life at Mount St. ,lohn's has achieved a high excellence in studies that has merited many awards and favorable comments. But knowl- edge alone has not been her goal, for the perfection of knowledge is the Wisdom which we feel she has striven for and, to an appreciative degree, acquired. Never too busy for a friendly word, she has impressed us with her true spirit of gaiety and joy. Most rominent in her future lies the idea of college and the furtherance of her education and cultural, development. We are as- sured that the pattern will always remain the same and St. John's will ever be proud of Mary Alice and her accomplishments. The intellect of the wise is like glassy it admits the lzght of heaven and rqtlects it. 37 ,2,3,4

Stehniuky Elaine sparkles most brightly in the galaxy of our Senior class. The winner of a four year scholarship and Latin awards, L'Elena possesses all the qualities of a real student. Class president for two years and active participant in many different activities, she has led the class scholastically and mirthfully. Her buoyant personality and ability to instill a cheerful outlook into each task performed is coupled with a boundless spirit of cooperation. Having earned fame for a perpetual 100', she has found time to devote for leisure hours to listening to the hit parade, exercising her feet to the notes of a jitterbug, swimming, and being an enthusiastic specta- tor at Bernardsville's football games. Her native intelligence will win her a conspicuous place in society as a landscape artist, in which field we are sure her creative abilities will he developed to the deep joy of all. The hand that follows intellect can achieve. Knowledge comes but wisdom lingers. . .

A few weeks after finishing her Junior year, Marietta surprised everyone by announc- ing that she intended to take her senior subjects at Newark Prep during the summer. Then in September, while the rest of us finished our high school days, Marietta began her college career at New Jersey State Teacher's College, Newark. Certainly our class lost something when Marietta left us. The history classes have been much quieter without the lively discussions which she so very ably led. Although gentle by nature, Marietta contributed much to class projects and was always willing to help with anything we undertook. Even this year, though not with us, she has joined the class for retreat and the various dances. Of even greater importance to her is being able to graduate from Mount St. John's with her class- mates. Her success in her first year of College seems to indicate a very fruitful and promising future in her chosen field of education. Her ways are ways of pleasantness and all ber patios are peace. 381
