14 THE BEACON ETHEL LORENA HILLING As merry as the day is long. Here is our little maid of cheer and laughter. Lorena has a most sunny disposition and is so sincere and ob- liging we just can't help but love her. We often hear Lorena's voice lifted in protest against long assignments in French and English, but just the same she generally does the work like the rest of us. We wish there were many more like her for if there were this would be a brighter and more happy place. GRACE GOODWIN GIANNOTTI With temper calm and mild and words of softened tone. Class Secretary and Treasurer, '21, '22, '23. Program Committee Philolethian Literary Society, '22, '23. Grace is the most dependable girl we know. When we want to know something or do something, it's Grace who is ready to help us out. She has had about the hardest job we had to give her, that of Treasurer, but she has filled it to perfection. We know Mrs. Lake will miss her, for Grace has given the best of her service to the Commercial Room. But for all of that we shall miss her most, for only we can understand what we have lost.
