PATRICIA E. LYNCH Lowell, Mass. l'at Lynch is Lowell's fair contribution to St. F. X. How can we forget that she is from the States when she springs that accent on usl Pat came to X in the fall of '48. A graduate nurse, she registered as a member of the Science class of '50 She proved to be a very conscientious student as her roommate can well assert. But Pat did not limit her activities to studying. She turned out to be a verv lusty supporter of both the hockey and basketball teams. Q ller hearty laugh, keen sense of humor and Jleasing personality should lead her to a successful career as a teacher in a School of Nursing. All the best,Pat. FRANCIS GERARD MacDONALD Antigonish, N. S. Entering St. F.X. in l944, Frank began his College career as a first vear Eng- ineer but saw the light and changed his course to straight Science. Since that time Frank has been one of the less fortunate in that he missed two years due to illness. l'le returned to St. F.X. in l948 and is another one of those people majoring in the queen of the sciences mathematics, with a liberal allowance being made for Biology and Chemistry. A staunch supporter of the Bulldogs, Frank isa very quiet chap and is usually seen rushing around the Campus with a notebook and the collar of his overcoat buttoned so tightly around that the whites of his eyes barely show. As to the future Frank is very non-committal but what ever it may he we wish him all the best.
