Marie Florence Gange, St. Agnes Academic School, College Point : One reason why Marie never grew especially big was because she never quite had time to concentrate on that particular point, there were so many other things to be done, quickly. There are trains to catch, and brothers to be taken care of, and committees to attend. And every morning there is of course that lovely trip from College Point before the rest of us are awake. Marie ' s immediate generosity, her sincerity and her speech devoid of guile or deceit of any sort have secured a firm place in our affections. Helen Rosalea Gargan, St. Francis Xavier Academy: She has always known an easy, sophisticated poise that has enabled her to handle any situation without difficulty. As a member of the Junior Class Day Committee she worked with a will to make Junior Week a success. Actually Helen doesn ' t strike us as the athletic type but she has been a member of A.A. since her Freshmanhood. It is good to hear her talk of the trips she has made and the unusual places she has visited. No matter what the pattern, Helen will always manage to make it of interest and value. Teresa Agnes Garvey, Bishop McDonnell Memorial: Terry, unfortunately, has always harbored a secret resentment against eulogies. A devotee of classical music, her interests at the college have naturally centered about the Glee Club. There is a high, thin loveliness in Terry ' s voice that is not soon forgotten. Probably she will seek a career in Social Service work — but living life to its fullest has never presented any problem. Her interests are varied, her ability versatile, her knowledge of the unusual, the little known, extensive. Marie Magdalene Geiling, Marywood Seminary: Marie ' s wit is brittle, incisive, without malice. Her manner is one of perpetual, unruffled surface composure. Deceit, falsehood of any kind, can never touch her, the sincerity is of her nature, as is the courage she has never failed to display. As Chairman of the Religion Committee in her Senior Year, she managed a job of no small magnitude almost without commenting on the fact at all. Of course her work as Advertising Manager of Footprints was excellent. 27

Joan Adelaide Ghegan, Bay Ridge High School : When Joan speaks it is like a series of wonderfully assorted exclamation points, following in feverish haste on each other ' s heels. Whatever she contacts is a source of spontaneous and volatile amusement and en- thusiasm. Whatever she does must be accomplished in the very minimum of time with the maximum of effort and good will. Her excitement is contagious, her companionship, as a consequence, delightful. Extra-collegiate activities are very important and must be accorded every serious and active consideration — particularly at certain periods of the year. Annabelle D. Glimm, St. Brendan ' s High School: She is the source of terrible envy — especially on rainy days — with her golden hair that just never loses the wave that nature has bestowed. Annabelle has been a member of the Dancing Club since it was organized two years ago. No one knows exactly why since she dances so beautifully anyway. Her Freshman and Sophomore days were spent jumping in and out of gym suits for A.A., so obviously she has a hidden athletic side to her character that must needs be explained. But no matter what Annabelle does — it ' s mostly in fun. Elvira Mary Goddard, St. Angela Hall Academy: If we remember anything about bailments, it will be that little question that came up one morning way back in winter — when Elvira rose to the occasion with one of those super-questions. Yes indeed — it ' s been happy having El in classes — for she can make even the dullest lesson a hilarious success. We observed her one day in Ed. class, when she was observing. Lillian Golden, John Adam ' s: The feminine touch if acquired through imitation isn ' t particularly uncommon, but there are certain women who are naturally, quite naturally and unconsciously all the things that have been associated with that term in the most complimentary fashion. Her appearance, her manner at once gracious and unassuming, even her voice are tangible evidence of her popularity as a lovely lady. Elise has been associated with the dramatic and dancing clubs during her years at college. 28
