SENIORS QLIVER RILEY HQllieU is an easy-going fellow who has passed his school days at the same slow tempo. l'le ably managed the baslcetball team, served on various school committees, school orchestra, sang in the Glee Club and performed his school worl4 without any visible show of effort. Qllie has two hobbies . . . dancing and speeding down Main Street in the early morn. LAURETTE BURNS f'l.aurie combines the imitative powers of Fannie Brice with the literary ability of Dorothy Thompson. This latter quality won for her the editorship of the 1938 Per Annos, while her personality earned for her the coveted positions of vice-president of the sophomore class and president of the junior class. Added to these, she has excellent marlcs, successful chairmanship on Junior Prom committee, and high honors on the debating team. You've got a swell edge on life al- ready, l.aurie. Keep it upln JOHN LUDWIG Johnny or Sugget as he is dubbed, is famed for his powerful physique. l-le played a melodious trumpet in the up-and-coming school band, and ably managed the football activities last fall. As chairman of that historic Junior-Senior debate, he proved himself to be a very versatile young man. Johnny may be seen any friday night hitch-hiking westward toward Groton. Whats the attraction, HSug , love of the country 'P '? l1o

SENIORS MARGARET Sl-lERlDAN Ulvlargn, our efficient class secretary, is justly famous for the lovely bloom on her cheeks. l-ler friends know her as a jolly, smiling person, but with strangers she is quiet and shy, ln her vvork on dance com- mittees and in sodality, she has always preferred the doing rather than the saying. A vvord unguarded is sure to bring a blush from this coy senior, but blushing is after all one lost art, which adds to the attraction of any girl. BERNARD MCDERMOTT Bernie joined the great army of cacldies at an early age, and since then he has eaten golf, slept golf, and written hundreds of compo- sitions about golf. During his days at St. lVlary's he has gone quietly about his own affairs, managing the basketball team, doing art work for the Star and per Annos, singing in the Glee Club without ever having a radical thought or making the least noise. MARGARET ONEIL Upeggyn is positive proof thatgood things come in small packages. She is so cute that no one believes thatshe can actually do something, but take a look at the record . . . sophomore secretary, Star and Per Annos staffs, dance committees, Glee Club member and the best de- bater of them all . . . not bad for such a little girl, is it? With all her activities, however, Peg still has time to have fun herself and make a lot of other people happy. l9l

SENIORS FRANCIS SNYDER Fritz , Fly-trap Fanny , Willie Baxter Snyder is a refreshingly adolescent oasis in a desert ol over-drawn sophistication. Fritz glee- fully abandons senior dignity in Favor of a delightfully boyish capri- ciousness. l-le performed his duties as a class officer for two years and chairman of debates with the same zest that he played basketball and football, and with which he will play the game of life. NANCY CROSS Nancy is one of those amazing persons who are blessed with a multiplicity of talents. Besides being the intellectual of our class she is really tops at the drawing board, as is proved by her worlc as Art Editor of the Per Annos and Sodality Star. Outside of our own circle we have heard that she has a reputation for shyness, but, frankly, we doubt it. ROBERT REYNOLDS Bob is our happy-go-luclcy Ring of the dance. ln his serious moments he leans to the intellectual rather than the athletic side. ln organized debating or friendly argument his tongue is as nimble as his feet, and his eFFervescent humor brightens the most serious discussion. When Bob isn't being the white hope of the lVlohican Company, he is usually wrapped in dreams about something--or someone. 1111
