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

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.

NANCY ANN Dicks New CjRLEANS, LOUISIANA Two Years Charms strike the sight, but merit wins the soul. Assembly Committee, '38, Library Tea, '38g Christmas Play, '39g Choir. '39g Senior Play, ,395 Secretary of Speech Committee, '39. Judging from first impressions, we rind Nancy dignified and self-possessed. It is true that it takes more than a difficult situation to get her down. She always has a hand in making others have a won- derful time, and a more sympathetic person would be hard to Find. As you know her better, you find that good taste is personified by Nancy, and she really knows what she is talking about in History of Art, because of her trips to Europe. Charm and sophistication are Nancy's now, and these qualities will really show in New Orleans when she becomes its dancing deb. We also know that when she reads this write-up, she will undoubtedly say, Oh, but it isn't true! I'm so embarrassed. But we mean every word of it! ,,,-e-, - .. -- Q - 9 f I ,., LL: . x - t r 1 .-.JJ k..Li.0i , fe, .i'i'.9x1II, Y,'v-4 ti KATHERINE WALLER Domi TAPPAHANNOCK, xvlRGINIA Two Yvz1r'.r VVe hail thee, Carolina.

Passing her on the Arcade before school starts in the morning. you will probably hear, My goodness, yes, Carolina has a wonderful team. A frequent and pleasant smile makes us envy her cheerfulness, and her friendly glance in classes means more than many words. In spite of the numerous streaming hair ribbons that have suddenly gone fashionable this year. Kitty has maintained her bow in the same top spot of her brown hair! VVe will certainly miss Kitty's friendliness and her ever ready helping hand. Although South Caro- lina had first claim on her for a long tin1e. she's been with us for the past two years, and we hope that her native state will give us more like Kitty to boast of.
