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

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

Building for To-morrow MARY SLOCUM Sloc fif our predictions are correct, will undoubtedly replace the popular Songbird of the South on the ladder of success in the not-so-distant future because of her perfection in the arts of music and cooking. Anyone who can beat up a cake as light as a dream, and in rhythm with a song as light as her heart, demands and deserves recognition. In accordance with her practi- cability Mary is an A-number-one pupilg a slow and steady worker but a hard worker, too. Since she is also an enthusiastic knitter as well as an efficient seamstress, Mary seems to be one of those desired but nearly extinct gentlewomen ! CHARLES ADAMS Dodoejoined the ranks of the blue and gold in '37 and since that time has proved himself to be a true fighting Irishman. Dodo's friendliness gained him the class office of treasurer in his first year at St. Mary's, engaging in sports in both '37 and '38, Dodo proved to be an athlete of note. His ability does not end here, however, as he found time for dramatics, debates, and assisted the lunior-Senior prom committees. One third personality, one-third school-spirit, and the remaining third up and Adam spirit makes Dodo an all 'round good fellow. PATRICIA QUINN Pat f- who can create a poster with artistic finesse or compose an essay supreme, has earned a niche for herself in Saint Mary's hall of fame. Through zealous work and unfaltering persever- ance her name, since freshman year, has been numbered among those on the honor roll. Because of her reliable and helpful nature she is invariably a member of our social, literary and art commit- tees. Possessing a mind of her own and ever ready to express her own opinion, Pat is rated as a worthy opponent in any oratorical contest or debate. Quiet and unassuming, she believes that Hactions speak louder than words .
