THE AGNITA ELIZABETH J. McCUSKER Characteristic-—Her gait Class Secretary Activity—Walking with —? Basketball Saying— Listen!” Hockey Diz is the perfect nick-name for this cheerful maiden. It was earned by her always present smile and cheerful manner. If you are blue or moody, just try to meet her, for she will banish this feeling in no time. We feel sure that Diz will turn out to be an efficient stenographer, for her work in the Commer- cial Department is nothing less than excellent. We feel sure that you won't fail us, Diz. KATHLEEN M. TORRIS Characteristic—Shirley Temple locks Class Treasurer Activity—Borrowing pencils Basketball Saying— Oh, yes! Hockey Kay shows us what pleasant and talented people there are in Village Green. Since she came to us in our Freshman year she has been an indispensable member of the class, for as Treasurer, as a member of the basketball team and as Magdalene in our Passion Play, she has proved her ability in every field. One way to arouse her ire is to call her Reds ; then she will show you what spirited people reside in that diminutive settlement. With your personality, Kay, we know you'll attain your ambi- tions. 11

THE AGNITA EDWARD M. JOYCE Characteristic—Charm Class President Activity—Ringing the bell late Basketball, Captain Saying— Let’s you give a social. Orchestra Ed is the fair-haired lad with the big smile. He might be called our most versatile student for he certainly has a list of accomplishments to his credit We would just hate to make Ed blush by naming them. Ed has the indefinable power of meeting and over- coming any situation. We know that he will surmount all his troubles in the future with the same ease and grace with which he says, Oh, Sister, I must have studied the wrong lesson.” JAMES C. GLEASON Characteristic—Studiousness (?) Class Activity—Sleeping Vice President Saying— Isn’t she cute?” Jimmy has proved quite a shock to all of us. No longer is he the quiet lad we thought we knew so w'ell. Indeed, he is far from it, for, since last Septem- ber, he has caused more than one feminine heart to beat more rapidly. Jimmy is quite an orator and his composition work is unexcelled. His pet hates are Hitler and Communism, and when he discourses so forcefully, he could reform even the most avid Hitlerite or Communist. Not only is Jimmy an orator, but quite an actor—we shall always remember him as Pilate. Our good wishes follow you, Jimmy. 10

THE AGNITA WILLIAM A. BANNAN Characteristic—Feet Basketball Activity—Thrilling the fair sex Saying— I’m hungry.” Bill is quite a lady’s man. In fact, his classmates can’t count Bill’s various lady loves. He is equally successful on the basketball floor. When Bill goes tearing up the floor, it means another goal for St. Agnes. More than once. Bill’s famous long shots and snappy passes have saved both the day and the name of the team. We are hoping, Bill, that you will be just as victorious in the game of life. ESTELLE M. COGGINS Characteristic—Green eyes Basketball Activity—Driving around town Hockey Saying— Speak.” ’Stelle is another diligent member of the Commer- cial Department. Her skillful fingers have typewritten many of our assignments. We wonder if you ever stay at home on Tuesday nights, 'Stelle. We have come to the conclusion that your pet subject is Spanish. Is that right? Goodbye, Estelle. We hope success will come your way. ELEANOR A. COLLINS Characteristic—Giggle Basketball, Captain Activity—Worrying about nothing Hockey Saying— O Eleanor, remember—■?” Eleanor has that enviable asset commonly known as a poker face . She begins something in the midst of a study period or Spanish class, and then looks serious whiie we poor simpletons must endure Sister’s disapproval simply because we can’t stop laughing. Her insatiable desire for pickles has caused her many an hour of regret. However, we can’t hold her appetite against her. Eleanor, you are a merry classmate. We ll miss you. 12
