CATHERINE ESTHER MCDERMOTT tio Belford Street IJORCHESTER. MASS. 'fKatie, as we affectionately know her, is devoted to literature of the mysterious nature. lt is the pinnacle of enjoyment to her to unravel the complications in the mystery before she reaches the aut.hor's solution. But Catherine is no problem herself, for her amiable, lackadaisical good nature is quickly evident to all with whom she comes in contact. Her themes, with their most appropriate character sketches, have afforded us many pleasant memories. Good luck to this most valuable friend and colleague. MARY ELIZABETH Mc-DONOUGH A 28 llt'o:ttlwtly I.YNNl llil.lJ, MASS. Quiet and retiring can partially describe this miss, but in addition, she is a living example of true Catholic youth and girlhood. The virtue of patience she possesses in abundance as well as a strong will and character. X'Vhatever you do, do with your might, things done by halves are never done right. This phrase seems to be her watch-word and by-word, for if she cannot do a thing right and thoroughly. she will not. do it. at all. Such determination is hound to succeed in the world. DOROTHY RUTH Mc-ELI-IINEY 22 O'Callaghan XVay SOVTH BOSTON, MASS. Knock and it shall be opened to you. So Dorothy knocked and we flung wide the portals of our hearts to welcome her, for who would not welcome such as she. She has traveled the sequestered vale of her life, avoiding the limelight but doing all she could to help others. XVe hope life will be good to her granting her peace and happiness in her chosen path. She would ask no more. 1940 lf Fl ,L ,,- 'V .Ill .. Q ' x t l.l4Jl ff ,Q .GN ,Eff X-'Q i l ' f

ANNA MARGARET McGUIRE 18 Raymond Street ALLSTON, MASS. In the future, when we shall think of class recita- tions, we shall recall the illustrated masterpieces of some of our classmatesg in this category we may place Anna. Dainty, precise and punctual she has brought joy to many. Her love for poetic strains has enabled her to write of things of which others can only dream. Progressing in her persevering way, Anna will reach the goal which she has set for herself in the horizon of the future. LOUISE ALICE McKENNA 22 XVebster Street ARLINGTON, MASS. From the tips of her fingers which run up and down the keyboard to the tips of her toes which glide gracefully in rhythm to the latest dance step, Louise is a musician, rhythmatician, and a lover of all good music. The school orchestra has Hourished under her able direction, and Louise has taught a love of rhythm to her fellow orchestrians while winning commenda- tions for iti. Louise will succeed in the Held she loves so well, equipped with her personality and talents. HONOR MARIE MONAHAN 26 Haskell Street ALLSTON, MASS. Honor has certainly lived up to her name for tli's virtue has dominated her entire career as a student. Although her quiet manner is innate, we are some- times surprised by a sudden outburst of unexpected jollity. Her particular joy is in the Math class which leads us to believe that Aristotelian blood flows through her veins. Now we must bid adieu, but rest assured, Honor, that our love and good wishes will follow you wherever you roam. ' i351 v. The Mount
