Marie Certusi, Mary Irwin, Marie LoCicero and Marie de Montigny leave the continuance of their fruitless search for lost chordu to Edith Cullen, Thea McCabe, Pat McGoveren, Connie O'Brien and Alice Plumb.

Some applied the theory that silence is gol- den, during History periods, among whom Eleanor Barry, Pete Moore, Marie Certnsi, Theresa Richards, Phil Hyde, Frances De- Armon, Richard Barili, Rose Crowley and Fran Kiernan were foremost proponents-by now they ought to be rich. Opposed to these ardent advocates of the silence theory were others who established a shortwave system of communication. After the comnninique dis- patching ring, embracing Peggy Sarsfield, Irene Bourneuf and Louise Comeau was smashed by Sister's interception, it became im- perative to employ wig-wag signals. From the cold North fof the roomy flashed Lefty Doc- tor, Lawyer, Indian Chief Davis and joe Nancy Regan: from the Wild West, Teresa Mullins and Clare Rabin: from the Far East, Eileen Poirier and Anne Magner, and from the Sunny South, Mary Canty and Rosemary Norton. .
