SOPHIA ZDROK— Webster, Mass. “Zocha” Byword — “Oh, how awful!” APPEARANCE — Pleasant NOTED FOR — Neatness HOBBY — Reading FAVORITE SONG — “Daffodils” FAVORITE HYMN — “Panis Angelicus” FAVORITE FLOWER — Tulip AMBITION — Chemist DISTINGUISHED CHARACTERISTIC — Pearly white teeth VIRTUE — Prudence CRIME — Blushing “With malice toward none; with charity for alL ,, The above statement gives us a brief account of Sophia’s per¬ sonality. Generosity is her outstanding trait. She is always willing to give, very seldom wanting to take. Never too busy to help an¬ other, she is often seen doing things for the benefit of others. We know that Sophia will be successful, because she will earn her suc ¬ cess wherever she goes. She has always been loyal and helpful to all of us in many ways. God Bless You Sophia!

FLORENCE RAKOWSKA Brooklyn, N. Y. “Lolcia” Byword — “Any objections?” APPEARANCE — Intelligent NOTED FOR — Excellent memory work HOBBY — Piano playing FAVORITE SONG — “In a Monastery Garden” FAVORITE HYMN — “Jesu, Salvator Mundi” FAVORITE FLOWER — Iris AMBITION — Organist DISTINGUISHED CHARACTERISTIC — A tuft of gray hair VIRTUE — Benevolence CRIME — Absent-mindedness “The music in my heart I bore — Long after it was heard no more.” There is very much we should be able to say about our dear “Flory,” for we know she is a girl of great intelligence and is partic¬ ularly adept in the line of music. She never resists the temptation of a vacant piano. Florence is a bright young girl; so bright that she was able to continue our Chemistry Class when Mother was out. Although she was unsuccessful in giving the correct formula for deuterium (unforgettable fact!) she succeeded in avoiding future heresies. Although Flossy has such a keen mind, her golden memory is not so capable of retaining little things outside of books. In other words, she is noted for her absent-mindedness. It is a shame to say goodbye, but parting is inevitable.

WE THREE “We’re not a crowd — we’re not even company!” My echo (Florence) My shadow (Sophia) And me (Carolyn) Ours is not a class — we can not truly call it so. We’re just -— “We Three.” We often considered it necessary to start a campaign for more and better Seniors. Three is not a formidable number espe¬ cially in classes. If, because of conditions beyond our control, an assignment is accidentally allowed to slip by unprepared, we cannot hide this uncomfortable fact. Our dear teachers have very decided views on certain points — particularly such unimportant trifles (so we think) as unprepared lessons. They will not even accept a very reasonable explanation (always at the tip of our tongues) — mem¬ bership in the Know-Nothing party. As a result we’ve been com¬ pelled to become submissively virtuous in this respect. We can’t afford getting indigestion, colds or any of the common Juniorate maladies, for what a shame it would be for one-third of the Senior class to be absent! We three are going to enter Novitiate soon; — but there, we expect a pleasant increase in number. Will we be disappointed? We hope not! Florence Rakowska, ’45
