W s W' x ,fri K rf 1 Xi! is: 1 NX, f' lx! 1 If M MARGARET LEARNED HOLMES Auousm, GEORGIA L Om' and u Half Years X For beauty lives with kindness. n Choir, '39g Senior Play, '39g Dramatic Club, '39g Assistant Head of Class Parties, '39, Georgia first came to us as Margaret, but her name soon switched over to that of her native state, although she had never been called that before. VVherever Georgia may be, she is always welcomed, for it's a joy to be around her, because her cheery smile, much envied southern drawl, and hospitality put us at complete ease. It is nice to tell Georgia your problems because she seems to have the same ones. After a good dis- cussion with her, you don't feel so bad, knowing someone else is in the identical predicament. What 'fun it will be to look back and remember the mar- velous father Georgia portrayed in our play! All through life we are confident that this southern miss will do everything she undertakes as a neat job. NORVELL Louisa HENLEY RxCHMoNn, VIRGINIA Five Years The joy of youth and health her eyes displayedf, Integrity Committee, '36: Library Tea, '38: Quair '38g Senior Play, H395 Board of Publications, '39. Ever since the eighth grade, when a rather shy girl with lovely blue eyes came into our midst, Norvell has been a valuable and essential person in our class, Needless to say, Norvell has overcome her shyness, and now her natural sincerity and cheerfulness have placed her firmly in our hearts as a friend. She obligingly listens to our tales of woe and never makes us feel that our troubles are too insignificant to be noticed. This year her interest and support on the Board of Publications has been Z1 big help to the Editors. Her zeal and enthusiasm are real contributions. She is not only pretty, but she is smart and often we wish that we had the boundless store of ideas that she has for English compositions. St. C'atherine's will certainly miss Norvell, but we feel sure that no matter what she does, St. Catherine's will have rea- son to be proud of her.

This wouldn't happen in New York, says Judy as a plate is dropped, and her association with the big city is one of the things we like about her. Judy heads toward the city for peace the way some people seek the country, and although she likes the wilds and swims beautifully fhaving been one of the first to brave the pooll, shop windows are more fascinating to her than pastoral views. We have all envied Judy's ability to proportion her work so that everything is finished on time, in fact, she's one of the few boarders who never seem to have to get up at half-past six for last minute home- work. Not only does Judy finish her work, but she finds time to practice on the piano, too, and last year she won a music scholarship for her fine work. More than all this, we love Judy for herself- efor the loyalty and real friendship she has given us. 'lil lllr-s..b 01 1,-cl 4 67 PA'rTiE PHILLIPS Hfxncnove Ricumomx. Vinuinin Fizfz' Years The mildest manners and the greatest heart. Honorable Mention. '36g Library Tea, '38, Vice- President of Day School, '39, Senior Play, '39, VVe all wonder at June's marvelous capacity of never losing her temper. When the rest of us are practically at a boiling point, June stands in our midst with a cheerful smile which is nearly always present-always smiling and never angryffewhy? Because she always looks for the better side of a person and she bases her opinions on the best she finds. When consideration and thoughtfulness are mentioned, we should place her at the very top of the list, no one could be more thoughtful of her friends. Her slogan seems to be the other fellow first. She always does whatever she can to help the other person, no matter what inconvenience it brings her. She is one of the smartest in the class, and her grades are among the highest. VVith such a fine, dependable character June is bound to do every- thing as well and pleasantly after she leaves us as she has done here.

MADELEINE ELLIOTT HUFFMAN NEWPORT NEws,ViRo1N1A Five Years The eyes as stars of twilight fair. Integrity Committee, '37g Library Tea, '3S: Christmas Play, '38g Dramatic Club, '38g Chairman of Class Parties, '38g Library Committee, '38g Chairman of Library Committee. '39g Senior Play, ,591 League Board KEX-Ofliciol, '39. Poise and sophistication belong to Madeleine. One can hardly imagine her at a loss for something to say and do, for she is such an excellent conversa- tionalist and can carry any situation. She never fails to have read the latest book, and this intelligence made her head of the Library Committee. She has been a faithful helper in the managing of the new library. Her scholastic ability is really something to wonder at. But she is not merely a scholar, for she is one of our best hall-room dancers, and we can be sure that this art is well used, as proved by her tales and what we hear of her week-ends! Her fame stretches from the deep South to the North and even extends to the far VVest. W'ith such a combination of popularity and brains, Madeleine is sure to do well, and we shall sincerely miss the place she has Elled for so many years. KATfiERINE HwoscH1NsKY GREENWICH, CONNECTICUT Three Years it Her heart is as great as the world, but there is no room in it to hold the memory of 3. wrong. Integrity Committee, '37: Speech Committee, '37g Choir.

Hwoschinie has been ever faithful to her long braids, while all around her people were chopping theirs off, but this is one reason we are so devoted to her. We can not imagine her without that lovely long hair that frames her gentle and yet merry face. Her beaming countenance and understanding heart are two things that can certainly be depended on. We feel sure that these traits will make her most successful in her nursing career and will win her even more sincere friends. The Hockey Team was led to victory after victory by none other than Hwoschinie herself, who with her brilliant playing and fine leadership ended the season with a record which would be very hard to improve upon. She has proved herself a vital and charming person whose absence will be sorely felt.
