VIRGINIA HARRISON Q3 Fenwood Road BACK BAY, MASS. Katherine Cornell and Helen Hayes will have to look to their laurels when our Virginia makes her debut. before the footlights, for she too is a thespian, a follower of the immortal Shakespeare.

They will serve Mary well as she travels on, influencing people and winning friends. MARGARET TRINETTE HICKEY 218 Putnam Avenue CAMBRIDGE. MASS. There are sotne people who are reticent by nature and in this category is Margaret. For quite a while we knew her only as the shy, small person who recited in classes: but as time went on, we came gradually to know the real Margaretg the hutnorous and witty person she really is. Now that. we have found her, we are reluctant to give her up, but custom prevails and we can only wish her the best of success. 31 5 1 r 1 ff S lt 1 1940 . i.f'f'. Ttlfvl'

MILDRED PATRICIA FINNEGAN gt Murdock Street BRIGHTON, MASS. Carefree, light-hearted. on through lile she goes. Yes. Millie absolutely refuses to allow any clouds of worry to cast shadows upon her. She wisely takes each task as it comes and attacks it with the best ol' her ability. lt is no wonder, then, that we turn to her whenever a dillicult or tedious problem arises. There are times when the lights ol' mischief playing in her eyes warn us that she is about to execute one ol' her pranks. lt hurts to say good-bye, Mildred, we will always treasure your memory. MARIE MARGARET GLYNN 791 Atnerican Legion Higliway ROSI,lND.XI,Ii. MASS. This H,-Xunt Polly of our play has proved her ability as an actress. To see Marie play the part of a crabbed old spinster was a strange sight, and we were certainly glad to welcome back our own cheerful Marie with the finale ol' the play. IVe relied upon Marie, as president ol' the Classical Club, to uphold our Latin standards. She did not fail us. Likewise, may the luture lind her ready for responsibility.

RUTH FLORENCE HUNTER 55 Corbet Street DORCHESTER, MASS. In the classroom, Ruth is a very pensive miss. Once she gets behind the wheel of her Ford, however, a gleam of excitement creeps into her eyes, a smile of satisfaction plays upon her lips, for she becomes the master of her own situation. To a great extent, the success of our Flower Days is due to her helpful suggestions and unlimited generosity. Her loyalty to her associates and her devotion to a cause together with her unassuming nature will surely cause Lady Luck to smile favorably upon her. VIRGINIA FRANCES JACQUES 416 XVeld Street WEST ROXBURY, MASS. Virginia's prim slender form is the temple of all that is good and pure. She is always willing to give a warm smile of encouragement to her classmates or sacrifice her best efforts to make any venture a success. But like all gentle, meek, and humble people, she prefers to pass among us unnoticed. Now at the parting of ways we make a confession-we are secret worshippers at her altar, for she is our idol of Catholic girlhood. K DORIS JOHNSON m5 Heath Street SOMERVILLE, MASS. Gay and debonair, the cause of much good cheer is Doris. Her wit and natural liveliness radiate through- out the classes, her name heads the school Honor Roll. No matter how high the work piles up, her spirit is never dampened. Doris has reason to be well pleased, for whatever she has begun, she has Hnished to the best of her ability. XVe are confident that success lies ahead for her. I L Y,.....! -.. 1-'the Mount ,,
