MARY GERALDINE ENRIGHT “‘Gerry’’ is everyone’s darling. She has beautiful wavy hair which is the admiration and envy of all the girls. She sends forth flashes of her keen sense of humor, and life is never dull when she is around. It is with sincere regret that we bid her adieu. 9., GLORIA MAY FARQUHAR Gloria’s high scholastic stand- ing will surely give her a seat among the learned. She has been a faithful member of the orches- z tra for four years, and her vic- @, ; tories in the commercial course . are but shadows of the triumphs to come.

MARGARET THERESA CONROY Titian blond and = gentle maid are apt descriptions of Peggy. We have but lately dis- covered the wealth of beauty hidden in clear rich voice, and in our enthusiasm we do not hesitate to predict a coming “Lily Pons.” ANITA MARY CORMIER Anita is a small little miss with an attractive and winning smile. She is a lover of poetry € and operas in the latter group of which she is well versed. Her future as a stenographer looks bright because of her even temperament. : 6 ¢ eC CLARISSE LENA COUTURE Clarisse, a striking brunette, is always cheerfully disposed, and has personality as her forte. Her charming nature, always forceful, volatile is the magnet for her myriad of friends who now wish her every success. JEANNETTE RITA DAVID “Ready, willing and able’ seems to be a phrase put into practice by Jeannette. In all sport activities she was always on hand, and showed what ex- cellence she had acquired in that field. Incidentally we learned of her talent as an artist, and with firm assurance we hail her as a coming ‘‘Rosa Bonheur.”’ Mane, Ei evi ee GILDA EUCY DEL BEATS® Rollicking, diversion and jolly times are what we link with remembrances of Gilda. Her glowing optimism per- meated all classes, and never interfered with her fine work especially in English where she excelled in essay writing. All hail to our budding journalist! CLAIRE JOAN DEMERS y) Claire has been outstanding as a student, a classmate, and an actress. The way she sus- tained her difficult role in the Christmas Play was amazing, and it won't surprise us in the least if she is soon starring in one of the modern productions of worth. It seems that no class is com- plete without a demure and petite brunette and in this case Mary fills the bill. Her manner is most friendly and her ap- pearance particularly neat. We are sure that the class of ’39 unanimously wishes her gvery luck, in the) furuse, ; Mie rats Vy MARY ANNA Dra EGORIO ‘This is one of our favorite seniors. Mary is a bit reticent at times but her cordial, gra- cious manner never fails you when occasion demands. As a typist and stenographer of the first class she has firmly placed her feet on the upward verse to- ward distinction in the commer- cial world. th MARY ANN 1 fe DI BENEDETTO

Al- though she never worries about studies we predict immediate success for this carefree miss, for hers is aways the helping hand and the kindly api uh AGNES CECILIA FURLONG A flash of wit, a dash of geniality, an engaging smile make up what is known as Agnes. She and Pearl form an inseparable duo that even the sternest hestitate to cleave. We need not wish her good luck for her naive smile will bring her loads of it. a SoS MARY ELEANOR 6 GALLAGHER It was a bright, sunny day when Mary’s laughing blue eyes first beamed upon us. And the thing we have liked best is that they have never ceased smiling upon us. Nevertheless the seri- ous strain was evident in class when there was a question of studies and thus it will be all through for Mary—a high standard.
