THE AGNITA JOSEPH J. DAWSON Joe (President; Orchestra) His friends—he has many, His foes—has he any?” Joe is the salt of the earth, the life of the party, or any one of those necessary elements without which we are lost. Certain it is that for the last few years a spicy condiment has been furnished by Joe. The serious Joe, however, is the soul of gener- osity and sincerity. Here is a scholar—twelve years of association with him attest to this fact. As our class president, he has proved himself both loyal and capable. The memory of your admirable personality and genuine success at Saint Agnes will live with us for a long time. Best of luck attend you, Joe, and Adios”. WILLIAM C. HAYES “Bill (Vice-President; Basketball; Orchestra) Not even for a very short while, Does big Bill forget to smile. Bill, with his jovial, happy-go-lucky air and fre- quent peals of laughter, makes a great deal of happiness both for himself and for others. Bill is ever ready to do his share in providing merriment. Wherever Bill goes, mischief is sure to follow. All his endeavors are not directed towards humor; there is a seriousness in him and it tends to make him a good student and an ardent basketball player. We must say, Goodbye, Bill”. We hope the world will see you as we do—an ideal friend, a good sport, destined to uphold the finest traditions of Saint Agnes. 10

THE AGNITA ANN E. BADUM Ann” (Hockey, Assistant Captain,- Basketball) Her presence, the perfume of roses, Her charm its sweetness never loses.” Gloom is a complete stranger to our funster”, Ann, whose chief delight was to tease her class- mates until they were forced to surrender to her taunts. Her keen sense of humor enabled her to see things in their true light. Many times her optimism won for us victories over our athletic opponents. If it weren’t for Ann's knowledge of bookkeeping, some of her companions would have been left mentally impoverished. Goodbye, Ann, and may your sunny disposition continue to radiate happiness! ELIZABETH A. BURKENSTOCK Betty” (Hockey; Basketball) We love the smile upon her face, We love her walk of simple grace.” A smile, a cheerful word and a happy disposition characterize Betty. She is one of the happy-go-lucky girls on whom care never seems to fall. Betty dis- played an active interest in all class undertakings, and basketball and hockey were no exceptions. Her friendly manner has endeared her to all. With earnestness, sincerity and a sense of humor as the stepping stones to success, Betty, you cannot fail to attain your ambition. ESTHER E. CLARK “Essie” (Hockey,- Basketball) “Esther is happy, Esther is gay, Esther always keeps the blues away.” This little maiden is one of the most popular girls we can find. She possesses a magnetic personality —jolly, understanding, sympathetic and vivacious. Her intelligence, constancy and determination have won for her the privilege of holding the highest place of honor among the commercial students. By her portrayal of Veronica” in our Passion Play she won the admiration of the class. Essie, may your future companions appreciate you as we do! 12
