His seriousness and self-control will win him a worthy place in life, and he is sure to be a success. KATHERINE MARKLEY Philomathean Literary Society; (lirl Reserves; Glee Club, ’28; Chorus, “Kathleen.” “Laugh, and the world laughs with you.” Katherine is always ready to help others, and her bright smile is ever in evidence.

MARY McKIM McCUE Phoenix Literary Society, Girl Reserve Club, ’28-’29; Chorus, “Kathleen.” “Nothing endures but personal qualities.” Mary is one of our quiet steady girls, a true “friend indeed,” and one who can always be de¬ pended upon.
