Ship ahoy, sailor! our prayers and good wishes will be with you always.

Assumpta also answers to the call of Sue. She is tall, graceful and gracious. What she starts she us¬ ually finishes and she possesses some of that illusive Initiative that we hear so much about but see very seldom. Sue never takes the back seat, she is right up in the front whether it is sociability, lessons, or sports. She is an all around girl who will fit in any¬ where and who is bound to win a place in the business world. ■I V Francis Thomas Nugent Course - Classical Activities - Glee Club 3-4, Class Debates 4, St. Thomas Aquinas Circle 3i Football 4, Year - book Editor 4 Gentlemen deluxe would be about the best definition anyone could bestow upon our Frannie.
