JANET HELENA CUNNINGHAM “True to herself and her friends.” The recollection of happy days cannot but conjure memories of genial, happy Janet. Her carefree dis- position has often cheered our path and brightened our hours during her four years with us. We feel certain that her wholesome cheerfulness will be a big asset in the nursing profession which she plans to enter. PHILIP CHARLES CUNNINGHAM “Today whatever may annoy The world for me ts joy, simple joy.” In Philip, our “‘Allegro’’, we have the epitome of wit and good nature. His effusive good spirits indicate an implicit faith in “‘l’Allegro’’ but we find at times that beneath the surface there is a touch of “Il Pen- seroso’’. He was an active moulder of the annals of the class, when he cheered and cheered the teams to victory. A firm believer in social obligations, he has ever been courteous to their demands. Keep up the good work, Phil, is our parting admonition. MARY MARGARET DARCY “Her hand ts ready and willing.” Mary is a likeable girl, a splendid student, and a true friend. No one has ever been heard to speak ill of her, as she is always ready and willing to help wher- ever she can. We do not know her plans but whatever she chooses she has the good wishes of all her class- mates for a successful future. SILVIO PETER DE BONIS “What sweet delight a quiet life affords.” The above is ‘‘Yak’s’’ motto for he is ever to be found in the midst of the fun. One of his hobbies is landscape gardening. In his spare time, he always calis on his friend, Fred, and together they get to work. We predict that “‘Yak’’ will take up his father’s busi- ness, and we wish him every happiness. HELEN Lucy DEL BEATO “A friend may well be reckoned the masterpiece of Nature.” Always happy and full of glee, Helen is ever sur- rounded by a group of merry classmates. She believes in the proverb ‘‘Smile and the world smiles with you. Weep and you weep alone’, for we have yet to find her gloomy or a victim of the blues. May your sunny, jovial personality carry you lightly over the crags of time, Helen. 18

TERESA ELIZABETH CAPONE “Ready to aid tn any task With a willingness unbounded.” This is our gay and happy Terry who drifts blithely and gayly from class to class. She has a sweet melodious voice but rarely gives us an opportunity to hear it. Her hobbies are basketball, skating, and above all, horseback riding. She intends to follow a business career, where we are sure her charming personality will bring her success. HAZEL CATHERINE CARTER “For she ts the quiet kind, whose nature never vaties.” Hazel may be listed as one of the demurest girls of our class. We always see her with an armful of books, which naturally explains the reason for her excellent marks. The fact is that Hazel’s ambition is to enter the nursing profession where her many good qualities will have ample scope for demonstration. Good luck in your plans, Hazel, from the Class of '36. MARY CATHERINE COFFEY “Ever loyal, ever true to the task she has to do.” Mary is the embodiment of all truth and sincerity. Her ready smile and genial disposition made her the friend of all with whom she came in contact. She has been a loyal rooter of all the athletic events of the school, and did her share in all social festivities. Her goal is the business world, where we hope she will enjoy the best of success. CATHERINE LOIS CONNERS “A sunny disposition ts a treasure.” Smiling her way through even the hardest of school days, Catherine’s wit and good humor have won for her a host of f riends. This, however, did not prevent her from always giving a good account of herself in class. We do not know what her future plans are, but whatever field she chooses we wish her all the luck in the world. ANN MARY CONROY “To know her ts to love her.” Winning manners, happy chatter, and sterling character are what we most admire in Ann. She likes all sports including skiing, skating, and basketball. Her fine disposition makes her a necessary friend at all our gatherings, and when she is absent there is a general inquiry as to her whereabouts. Well may the business world receive her in its midst, for she is destined to augment the splendid record of her school days. 17

ELIZABETH ANN DESMOND “Her voice was ever soft and gentle.” Her pleasant manners and unruffled calm, together with her scholastic ability, have set forth a worthwhile example of a good scholar. Much more could we say about her various talents, but we know that her modesty forbids it, therefore we will content our- selves with offering Elizabeth our sincerest wishes for a future that will be a compensation for her work as a high school student. ANITA THERESA DESROSIER “How often have her actions taught How fine a smile can be.” A smile for everybody seems to be Anita’s motto, for her pleasant disposition has gained her a host of friends. A calm serenity hides a fun-loving heart, and she is always ready to appreciate a good time. Evi- dently she loves the fathomless seas, for somehow, we have learned that her ambition is to render service to the sick cast upon the stormy billows. May success attend your pluck, Anita. ANTHONY JOHN DININNO “The noblest mind the best contentment has.” As the hour of parting draws nearer it becomes doubly hard to express our feeling regarding this dark-eyed comrade of ours from Arlington Heights. We were attracted from the first by his affability and kindliness, an d feel that his winning personality will secure for him a successful future in the business world. The Class of '36 wishes you much happiness, Tony. JOHN EDWARD DONELAN “There is no wisdom like frankness,” John, like the rest of us, is ever ready for his share of the fun, and although an earnest hard-working student, had managed his time so well that his after- noons were given to business practice in a local store. He has secured unusual prominence by his achieve- ments in the Debating Society, and also by his work in the orchestra. We all wish John every success in the future. SALLY FRANCES DONOVAN “Of surpassing beauty, and In the bloom of youth.” Sally is one of the popular members of our class, pretty, charming, a good dancer, and the possessor of a lively sense of humor. She was an unfailing parti- cipant in all our school socials, and on every occasion cheered lustily the athletic contests. May her pursuit of learning in the coming years bring Sally as much pleasure as did her high school days. 19
