THE AGNITA THOMAS W. McKNIGHT ''Tom (President) “The class wouldn't be complete without him night or day, To smooth over little troubles and drive our cares away. We will ever be grateful for Tom s presence. His faithfulness, dependability, and loyalty are without question. Appreciating his many virtues, we elected him president of our class,- he has always proved his worthiness of this coveted position. A poet at heart, he has the sterling quality of appreciation added to a perfect school spirit and a keen sense of humor. Magnanimous is the word to describe Tom. All respect him, all admire him, all praise him, all wish him success. JAMES E. MONAGHAN “Jimmy” (Vice-President; Basketball) “The kind of a boy for you and me! He faces the world unflinchingly. Jimmy comes from Coatesville where, according to him, men are men, etc. Scrutinizing our vice- president one sees a jokester, a songster, a terrible teaser, and a staunch friend with a captivating smile. Jimmy astonished all by his remarkable interpretation of Judas in our Passion Play. His dramatic skill is shadowed only by his clever logic and eloquent oratory. He is a proud possessor of a Varsity “A”. May Time continue to favor you with the golden touch of triumph! 10

THE AGNITA 3 n (Memavwm SISTER MARIE EDWARD Died March 12, 1936 Requiescat in Pace.” There dawned for her a blissful day. When she to Christ did look and say: Dear Jesus, make me Thine Own bride, Worldly joys I cast aside!” Radiant smiled the King of Kings Enwrapped with joy her whole heart sings, He whisperd low: “Thou art my spouse, Accepted all thy virgin vows!” Sweet was her lot for Him to toil, Young hearts and souls the precious soil Where seeds of virtue patient sown Might make His Love the better known. Then would she turn from anxious care His Sacramental Watch to share,- Oft in the convent chapel sweet Her Lord and Hidden Lover meet. Ah now, the last dear task is done, Life’s victory long since fought and won, Sharing her Lord’s Gethsemane She died with Him on Calvary. Angels treasured her last sweet sigh And bore her soul to Christ on high Home at last is His Own loved bride To keep Eternal Eastertide! 9

Catherine, may your future associates appreciate you. MARY D. McCORMICK Snooky (Treasurer,- Hockey Captain,- Basketball) We’ve looked at Mary and then said, 'Sweet’! Others will look and they’ll repeat. Treasurer not only of our class dues, but also of our hearts is Mary. Few of us will ever find anyone more congenial and friendly. Thus does she impress us. Not only is her temperament remarkable but also her talents, her sportsman- ship, and her sociability. You know this if you’ve met her. JEAN T. ANDERSON Jean (Hockey,- Basketball) Happy, lovable, dependable, and wise This is our Jean of the laughing brown eyes.” Jean has endeared herself to all.
