The Javanese now are reading translations of her stories, While famous critics help to boost Miss Eleanor McDonough's glories. Her lovely smile still makes you feel all nice and topsy-turvy, It's on many New York billboards and belongs to Patricia Kirby. On the magazine pages lying here and there are hats and fabulous furs, Modeled by Miss Rosemary McCoy with a chic that is only hers. These beautiful tresses so artfully arranged in an intricate platinum coil Belong to Miss Patricia Narbut, who successfully advertises cocoanut oil. Betty Loberg I term a thief, though I pray you do not start, The victim let her do it, so she ran off with his heart. O'er Boston's young married set one lovely matron holds sway, Though Eleanor Stewart has changed her name, she's kept her winning ways. A lawyer who in recent years has won an abundance of fame Was known to us in '48 by janet Dunphy's name. I gasped for far above me a speedy airplane whirled, I waved to joan Welch, now Mrs. X. who Hies weekly 'round the world. lf you want a picture taken for your family or for your friend, Consult Miss Barbara Holley for one you will be proud to send. Miss Helen Baker leads the whirl in high society And the Nassau ladies are alarmed by her alacrity. Patricia O'Brien's clever sketches have won her fame and praise, lf she could accept all the offers, she would be drawing all her days. Angela Plescia is now a designer of gowns, surprising though it seems, Lest you be a doubting Thomas-every dreamer has her dreams. Miss Dorothy Crago renowned as a famous artist Is now in the Art Department of Magazines, and she always heads the list. Eugenia Cannuli would have become a famous humorist, But a certain John spoke for himself and she could not resist. The pretty children beg for cake, but mother gives them bread, For Jeanne F1eming's children on calories are fed. And now I just discovered Ruth Gillis in a tiny bungalow With curtains white, a kitchen, and a place where flowers grow. The happy future children will be free from all distractions, Now that Mary Adele Sheehan has invented a machine for working fractions. Who can this financier be who sits in majesty? It's no one else but Ann McCabe once Math. Star at Rosary. A most exclusive shop of ladies' specialties Is managed by Virginia Clinton, a connoisseur of these. Mary Margaret .Donahoe now experiments with the sod In her own laboratory her helpers hasten at her nod. One of her ablest, Camille Glossa, a recent R. N. Is always near to help to dissect a rabbit or a hen. When getting up a bridge or tea, we always seem to need her, They say of Miss Jacqueline Moore who is quite the social leader. And that smartly dressed woman, Virginia MacLean, Is a full-Hedged Cape Coder and dwells just down the lane. Lorraine Gaudet with her beautiful brown eyes and very graceful hands Is happily re-reading and re-folding the announcements of her wedding banns And just what became of Sara York? flf you can't guess, that's me J They say she is lying exhausted in the shade of an old apple tree. -SARA Yonx

In an old brick building Barbara Lyons holds full sway Over her many new patients whom she gently nurses day by day. When they hear footsteps coming, all the patients hope and pray That it's blue-eyed Marie Skudris who is coming their way. Josephine Burke has tripped so much to folks with colds and fever, She, too, is a nurse and smiles so much her patients will not leave her Upon the operatic stage enthralling countless throngs. joan McCarthy has become a Star for singing her sweet songs. And here is Barbara Luongo rivalling Sarah Bernhardt's fame- Yes, she has climbed swiftly upward winning for herself a name.

4' H. M , Mgr dM,hlM, XX 6' ' A K .7 .lgrf P B Will The Class ' hat We, the Class of nineteen hundred and forty-eight, under the delusion t we are of sound mind and body and blithely unaware of any opinions to the con- trary, realizing that our life at Rosary is almost at an end, do hereby, herein and heretofore ordain this to be our last will and testament, to wit: To our devoted Principal and teachers we leave our sincere gratitude and deep appreciation together with a promise to be faithful, loyal and true to the ideals and principles that they have so untiringly instilled into us. To the student body we bequeath our extraordinary intelligent capacity for learning, and our inimitable energy in all our activities. Now lest you may feel slighted, we do most solemnly bequeath to you all our textbooks, our examinations, our rulers, our erasers and our pencils. On the class of 1949 we bestow all our good habits, studiousness, alertness, graciousness, and pleasantness with a kindly warning that they who will follow these faithfully will attain and enjoy success. To the Sophomores, we do leave our exquisite charm, our excellent poise and ravishing beauty that they may live up to the reputation of the class of 48 . To the Freshmen we do send our solemn dignity in order to help them over- come their baby ways. Now come the individual gifts, gifts to be tenderly cherished and received in the spirit in which they are given. -Marie Skudris reluctantly leaves her esteemed position as head senior boarder to a junior unfortunate enough to be the eldest. Camille Glossa leaves to a shy, reticent little junior Miss, her ability to take lead in a conversation. Jacqueline Moore sends her winning ways to any future senior who can enlarge upon these traits. Helen Baker wishes to leave her place as violinist in the orchestra to an under- class student who is learned in musical appreciation. With a truly generous heart, Patricia Narbut bequeaths her most treasured gift-her blonde tresses-to any future senior who will promise to keep them intact. Granted full permission, joan Welch relinquishes one of her many brothers to an eligible junior. Without much ado, Barbara Luongo bequeaths her dramatic ability to any underclassman who, just before curtain time, is overcome with stagefright. Since bookkeeping will no longer be an asset to Jeanne Fleming, she leaves it to the entire future bookkeeping class. Ruth Gillis, out of the generosity of her heart, leaves her height, yes, every inch of her sixty inches to the littlest forty-niner. Patricia Kirby bequeaths her sunny disposition and radiant smile to each and every junior Miss. Dolores Boudreau, as a member of the orchestra, leaves to a future senior her to the third floor typing room in live seconds after orchestra practice ability to get
