Building for To-morrow HELEN ANN MORRIS Should Broadway ever seek a new Peter Pan we would recommend Helen Ann as a likely candidate for the part, because she will just never grow up! Each new day brings an opportunity for Helen to play some new prank. Bubbling over with laughter and naivete, she has yet to experis ence a dull moment. Recently it has been reported that our petite miss is an accomplished and experienced equestrian, making her seem guite a wonder to us. Despite her small stature and juvenile appearance, Helen has proved to one and all that she is one of our more experienced and more dignified Little Women . EDWARD INNES Ted, beau-brummel of the class of '39, is our happy go lucky college hot dog. A dash of Esquire . . . bold plaids . . . Euclid's blood runs thin in his veins . . . but then of what advantage is higher math to an athlete of Ted's caliber? ln his last year in high school, Ted has been affected with a strange malady, newgirlitis . He is not susceptible until he sees red and then he is just another Ferdinand. Ted has not yet tasted the bitter cup of sophistication and so remains our incomparable, UMama's Baby Boy . WINIFRED HILL Taking an averageesized bowl, sift in one cup and a half of athletic agility on skiisg add two tablespoons of executive abilityg first beat well and then add one cup of effervescent laughter, and flavor slightly with one level teaspoon of yellow gold extract. Let stand awhile and eventually l'Winnie , our blond and lively senior, will appear! Possessing a pleasing manner, poise, and a natural kindliness, she makes and keeps friends easily. Winnie's giggles often resound through the corridors of St. Mary's and in the future, though she will be gone, the echoes will remain! 12

...gr I IEANNE GOULD lust close you eyes and imagine an erect and sturdy easel which is covered with flesh tinted paper to which we apply a dash of chestnut brown paint for hair, two circles of grass-like green, outlined in heavy brown for eyes, a smudge of pink beneath each orb and a dash of ruby red for smiling lips to amply portray our dignified senior, who is as pretty as a picture. School days have been happy days for leanne, who has done everything from cheer-leading to editing the yearbook. Intellectual, sociable and dependable she is St. Mary's Hall American girl . ROBERT GALVIN Bob stalwart gridster, oratorical wizard, right-hand man plus all the trimmings, is the solu- tion of how to win friends and influence people . l-le displayed his executive ability in the junior class and he is an ardent promoter of senior activities. Bob reached another rung on that well known ladder when he ably enacted a leading part in the class play with all the earmarks of an experienced actor. When you see his fighting spirit and the mischief in his eye you'll know that he is a true son of Erin. Bob , according to his classmates, is E Pluribus Unus . YVONNE BURNS Vonnie sweet, serene, and sincere specifies the character of our pert chere, whose French ancestry attributes to her pleasing nature. Her delicate femininity belies her athletic ability in winter and summer sports, but proves her perfection in the culinary arts. lmaginative and artistic, she captivated the audience at the Senior Play by her humorous portrayal of young lulie Long. Yvonne, our version of Ginny Sims, is always an eager participator in any musical festival or Glee Club concert. l-laving natural grace and rhythm, she is a dreamer's delightg on the dance floor, a virtual symphony in motionnl 6,31 -38-3 9

DOROTHY KILEY l'Dot' '... red hair, blue eyes, a jolly nature, and a bridge of cinnamonebrown freckles across her nose . . . what a combination! what an lrishman! Always laughing, always hurrying here and there to do her bit, Dot finds life just one big adventure. Chemistry to her is an intrigu- ing world of mystery to be conquered, but history is just another bore. Sodality meetings and choir rehearsals are not complete without her presence. Already holding a minor position at the local medical center, she seems destined to be a helper of humanity. Mayhap we have another Florence Nightingale among us. KATHERINE FERGUSON l-foot Mon Lo and behold, we have a bonny Scotch lass in our midst! Though lacking a Scotish burr, Fergie , as she is known to her intimate friends, does boast of the ability to pinch pennies and, therefore, she was designated the perfect one to fill the office of freshman class treasurer. lnclined to be guite shy, Katherine is one of the more silent members of the class, but when some guibbler makes a humorous guip, our modest maid's blush can be seen for miles. Thankful are we for one as alive and glowing as a Highland moor and as sweet and lovely as a wee bit o' heather! IN IMITATION We know that there will never be A class as bright as we. A class that studies hard all day, And still finds time to play. A class that aims at A or B, And frowns upon the lowly C. Upon whose shoulders tasks are lain, Yet strives to do, in spite of pain. Thus, lines are rimed by our classy But only God will let them pass. 66.37-38.39
