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 ,,

Her scholastic duties cannot be said to occupy her titne and thought ex- clusively. She always has a witty remark appropriate to the occasion, and also a smile and greeting for all who cross her path.

You would scarcely think that we have known Muriel but three short years, for her pleasing manner won us so quickly it would seem we knew her a life- time.
