NANCY VAUGHN BLACKBURN RICHMOND, Viiuaixm Six and u Half Year.: The secret of success is constancy of purpose. Honorable Mention, '36, Music Club.

Certainly the North has given some of our most helpful members, and Nancy has lived up to the standard of helpful- ness perfectly. She has shown her Fmeness with frankness, helpfulness, and generosity, and her whole- hearted school spirit has helped many of our activi- ties. She was a real help to the Hockey Squad, and when she got her wish of many years, which was to play in the Collegiate game, we were as happy as she was. She is renowned for her grand sense of humor and her hospitality. Many have been the times that Nancy has let us call on her, and each time we are sure to have had a wonderful time- with the combina- tion of Nancy herself and that automatic victrola of hers, how could we help but enjoy ourselves? You can easily see that there is a place in our hearts that only Nancy, with her sincere and loyal friendship, can fill.

Laddie could well be called the imp of tl1e class. She has laughing mischievous hlack eyes and neat. black hair. Her grand figure and tiny feet are the envy of us all, and her clothes are really some- thing to look at! Her ability to imitate people is remarkable. A mere twist of her head. a few words, and there is no doubt in your mind whom she means to be! Her portrayal of Steve, the little tough boy in Rz- member the Day, proved to us that she is a gifted actress. Underneath this light, gay merriment there is a strong mind. She has real literary ability and writes splendid articles for the Scrap Basket. Laddie's been here so many years that the school will have a. hard time doing without her, for there are few that can fill the place of laughter and fun that she has made. With those eyes and that wit she will go far, but we wish we didn't have to give her up.

Eumaeru SUZANNE BELDING IXINLEIIAM, BIASSACHUSETTS One Year The only way to have a friend is to be one. Hockey Squad. '395 St. Catherines Choir, '39q Sports Editor of Board of Publications, '39g Senior Play, '.'59. Betty Sue came to St. Catherine's as a new girl in the senior class, but her winning smile and friendly ways soon made her one of us. In no time at all she knew all the Seniors and had made loads of friends. That beautiful red hair and those blue eyes, that sparkle so when she laughs, are all part of Betty Sue's personality. Her hockey game cer- tainly helped the Squad end a grand undefeated SCHSUH. Nothing more need be said about her scholastic abilities when we know that she is planning to enter Vassar next fall! VVe certainly couldn't have a better sports editor for the Scrap Basket. for she is both capable and interested in athletics. Knowing Betty Sue as we do, we feel sure she will he a welcome addition to any group she joins. CIATHARINE VVILLSON ADAMs Ricunozvn.

WNe all burst into laughter when she is addressed as Catharine. for to us she has always been known as Kitty fand don't forget the extra 1 in VVillson7. Kitty has the rare ability of remaining in a good humor when everything seems to be going wrong. Many have been the times we have been calmed by her gentle disposition and thrown into convulsions by her witty sayings. At any time one of us may be heard to say, Oh, Kitty won't mind, and, as is expected, she doesn't. Although Kitty appears not to have a care in the world---that is, except when she's looking for her glassesfashe studies hard and often pops out with the right answer when no one else knows it. She has a contagious smile without the usual sickly grin, and it is no wonder. with those perfect teeth! When she laughs, truly the world laughs with her. Kitty goes merrily along her way and yet contributes greatly to our good times with her gentleness and pleasing personality.

NANCY Ross CREATH Itirnivionn. VIRGINIA Ona Ymr 'l'hcre was music with her silver sound. Although Nancy Rose is a newcomer at St. Catherine's. she has already made a place for herself and is one of the best liked girls in the class. We can always count on Nancy Rose's friendliness to one and all alike, and her helpfulness in all our class activities. Nancy Rose is one of those rare girls who can sit clown at a piano and play any one of the popular songs by ear. VVe envy not only her talent for music, but also her ability to discuss the deeper problems of biology with Mrs. Carter, while the rest of us only sit and hope that maybe we can do the same in a few years. Of course we have to realize that all things must come to an end, but we can say that it is a shame that we have missed a girl with such remarkable attributes for these last eleven years! ISABEL COALE VINITA, VIRGINIA Tlzrvc Years Her eyes were deeper than the depth of waters stilled at even. Posture Committee, '37, Christmas Play, '57, As- sembly Committee '38, Library Tea. '38' Mid- Winter Entertainnfent, '39, Board of Publications, '39, Senior Play, '39. We all have been more than slightly envious of Isabeli- the girl with the dreamy eyes. She is happy-go-lucky and has a bright, merry laugh. Izzie is always willing to help, and you can count on her always to give you a ride wherever you want to go. Not only is Isabel liked by the day girls but also by the boarders-just mention her name to any hoarder and you will find out what a high place she holds in their estimation. Isabel is one of the better hall-room dancers and can supply all sorts of information about current orchestras. Aside from all this there is a serious side to Isabel, and she is a loyal friend. She is planning to enter Erskine next year, and we know that she will be as great an asset to the Boston school as she has been to St. Catherines
