She dances, skates, hikes, plays tennis and bridge, and displays a musical ability of worth. A genial companion on any occasion and one who always lives up to the rules of good sportsmanship, Rita is the very embodiment of the essential characteristics of an ideal classmate.

Her fine qualities are so many that it is with difficulty that we attempt to enumerate them. As a student Genevieve has shown ex- ceptional ability. During her high school years she has worked hard and applied herself well. She now receives the reward of her efforts. In extra-curricular activities, Genevieve has been very active. She has participated widely in the affairs of her class and school and she enjoys the confidence of her fel- low-students. In addition, this classmate of ours is the possessor of a most pleasing dis- position, cheerful, gentle, helpful, vivacious. We have particularly admired Genevieve for her unassuming nature. Although she has been the recipient of many honors, she has never once shown the slightest bit of pride. This characteristic of her nature is an especially laudable one, and one of the justifications of her popularity. , . ..,.-., - Y .Y We W7 Y W .. Z -gl ..

Vice-president of Class 3 Social Committee 3, -4 Class Play 3 Christmas Play 3 Editor, The Columbian 3 Humor Editor of The Columbian 4 Literary Editor of Year Book 4 President of Junior Holy Name 4 Passion Play 4 Baseball Team 4 Don't mistake us. Ray is thin because of his physical activity, not because he studies too hard. Here is youth itself. Ray is a carefree fellow who has never let the trials of education weigh too heavily upon his nervous system, and he is just about the only senior who hasn't undergone more or less of a change during the four years of high school. Along with his pleasing disposition, Ray possesses many abilities. He is first and foremost a sportsman. Then, too, his skill as a poet has been shown many times, to the complete enjoyment of the school. Further, his command of the art of humor is supreme. This keen-minded youth also possesses the singular faculty of making friends. For his friend, he has the entire school. Ray's activities during his high school career have been unlimited. He has entered many fields of endeavor, but he is still that same unassuming youth. Keep it up, Ray, and a long life to you! , ,W ', L245' , , ROBERT LEO REILLY Of IIIIIIHYUI' gezzlle. of njeflimz 111ilz!,' 111 1l'ff a man. .fifzlfflifily fl child. Auditing Committee 4 junior Holy Name 4 Christmas Play 3 Baseball Team 4 Like our former president, Calvin Coolidge, Rob is one of those silent individuals. His quiet, unobtrusive nature is a magnet which has drawn many friends to his side. May we add that his nature is not without its share of humor. Rob's quiet attitude belies the fact that under his dignified exterior there lurks more than a bit of fun. In fact, there is much more to Rob's character than many of us have the insight to appreciate. Baseball is one of his chief interests and, as a member of the team this year, he has shown himself a worthy representative of our Alma Mater. To become a star first base- man is Rob's greatest ambition. Rob is a fine pal, and a true classmate. 8 -un 1111--- 1 - 1: 11111:1 nn-. 1--1v1 11-1 1-1 - 1 -1 '1 1 'Q 14
