Mary has keen sense of humor; she bubbles with laughter when she should only (?) smile. Her class appreciates her and pronounces her a capable and thorough student, especially in Virgilian verse. Anna Marie Flynn 176 Point Street Actions speak louder than words.” Anna has won the affection of her teachers and classmates by her quiet, gentle man ner. We have never heard her reproved very seriously. She is always up and doing in the interest of others. Anna is what we call a real success, for she favors study and all things worth while. Annette Ena Forest 46 Bridgli m Street ”Music is the language of the soul.” A pianist, dramatist, artist, student. and. pray, who is the possessor of all these talents? It is none other than our own Annette: She very wisely uses her ability in the interest of others. Annette is a typical schoolgirl, loves her studies. teachers, classmates.—a real friend to all.

Her linglish themes delight us for their clearness and originality. Katharine will enter college in the fall. Music is her real delight. A concert pianist some day. Kath,” N'est-ce pas? A striking characteristic of this young lady is her amiability. She is fun-loving, but has also a serious side.

Helen Marie Deery 64 Battey Street Mary Harriet Dowling 17 Vernon Street Her native grace is void of art. To think well is to act well. Not fun. nor frolic fills her day. And yet. how gracious do we say! A student apt. a friend alway— I challenge who to this says ' nay.’ There is a saying that “good things come in small pack ages.” and we have a proof of it in Mary. Small in stature, but big in heart and mind is this “jeune demoiselle. It is difficult to mention any special accomplishment of Mary’s, for she is a literal “Jack of all Trades.’’ We hazard a guess that Stenography Are we right. Mary? is her favorite subject. Helen Marie Doyle 117 Sheldon Street “Great oaks from little acorns grow. “To have friends, one must be a friend.” That is the secret of Helen’s popularity.

Josephine has sensible ideals, a clever power of imitation and marked social tendencies. She is a good student and often a merciless critic. Lucille Cecilia Duffy 1U4 Webster Avenue Mirth, with thee I mean to live. Behold one of the merriest girls of the class of '24.

Composure and calm arc characteristics of Marion. Who has ever seen the evenness of her disposition ruffled or whose imagination can picture anything to disturb Marions unperturbed nature? This visible serenity is the outward sign of a noble soul full of beautiful thoughts. Are we correct in surmising that Marion’s departure from S. X. A. in June will be of short duration? Mary is one of the stars of the Astronomy class and. star-like, she radiates happiness and cheer in a quiet, unassuming manner, for which reason she has obtained a big place in our hearts. We feel sure that Mary will have a successful career. Helen Russell Gilmartin 306 New York Avenue The Lord loveth a cheerful giver.
