MADELEINE ELLIOTT HUFFMAN NEWPORT NEws,ViRo1N1A Five Years The eyes as stars of twilight fair.

'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. '37, '38: Hockey Squad, '37, '58, '39g Var- sity Hockey Team, '37, '38, '39g Library Tea, '38g Student Government, 'SSQ Posture Committee, '39g Captain of Hockey Team, '39g Senior Play, H599 League Board Clix-Oiticiol, '39. 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.

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.

O '9 J Af i 551,95 f 6702 J BARBARA WAYNE KIRKLAND 1IousroN,'l'i-:xAs Two Yours In youth and beauty, wisdom is but raref, Library Tea, '38g Choir, '38, X393 Board of Pub- lication, '39g Armistice Uay Play, '39g Senior Play, X393 Christmas Play, '39g Dramatic Club, '39, Tirky, the affectionate name by which Barbara is called. brings one's attention to that tall slender beauty all the way from Houston, Texas, to use her own words. She's a vivacious, enthusiastic, and intelligent girl. That sandy, curly hair, matched by mischievous hazel eyes, is the object of much envy. Tirky invariably feels an unequalled rapture at the sight of mail in her box. The mere sound of a vie or radio starts Tirky's excess rhythm bub- bling, and she keeps us well informed about the latest tunes. She's not only a swing fan but she adores both symphony and opera and has an excel- lent alto voice that the St. Catherines Choir could not do without. The sympathetic nature of Kirk al- ways furnishes buoyant consolation to any of us who have troubles. She can write well and, though no one suspects it. she's a walking dictionary. She is our lone Texas star, and with Tirky as our sample we demand more. lX4ARY ELLSWORTH KAYfl0E RICHMOND. NYIRGINIA Two Years Friend of Pleasure, VVisdom's Aidfl Speech Committee, '38g Library Tea, '38, Senior Play, X395 Student Government, '39. lfVhen one stops and thinks of a cheerful counte- nance, a jovial personality. and an ever-willing and efficient helper. few but Mary can apply. She is gifted with a personality not soon forgotten--one which is imperturbable and soothing. Mary is in- deed an ever present help in time of trouble, and her various duties are performed in such a quiet systematic way that, when it is known she has taken charge of a job, no matter what it is, all fear of its not being completed vanishes. She seems happiest when helping someone and finds many ways of using' this admirable quality. Her infectious laugh rings out periodically in classroom and gym. lf she ever spent over ten minutes at a time in utter silence. we should all un- doubtedly think her ill. Although Mary has been at St. Catherine's for only two years. she has become endeared to us all by her unselfishness, her never- ending sympathy, and her cheerful outlook on life.
