While therfs w 7?a e question, she calmly went on her way, y er ons and their results that she, at least, was sup, Co ' quently she has been a consistent top-biller ' sch ars and especially in mathematics. Due to her sin- ity her lack of affectation, her classmates elected her lf ice esident of the junior class, and secretary of the sopho- m e and senior classes. Once Maggie T. had a desire to t e ome a math teacher and instruct struggling pupils in the why and wherefore of congruent polygons. Of late, however, it appears that a dream of a rose-covered cottage has usurped the place in herraffectionsf Euclid was no match for Cupid.

May e leaves behind him a recordfarffekam eito be' follb e all students to come. Since his freshman days no dance committee, no editorial staff, and last but not least no honor roll has been complete without Bob's name. Although he would like us to believe that he is a confirmed radical and prefers to be alone, we all know a Bob who adheres to such existing institutiods as St. Mary's and a Bob who is always surrounded by a host of friends. To our re- former of the rank and the file, life is just a succession of daysg and whether these days are spent in writing a skit for the class entertainment, entering a contest, or at home recuper' erating, they are never too crowded to take a few minutes off to delve into the works of his favorite author-4 Shakespeare, ANGELENA MARGARET GIAMMICHELE Gods in His heaven, All's right with the world! For Angie these words of Pippa are an expression of her own outlook on life. With God guiding us, why worry? Life is wonderfulw- bthere's so much to do and it's so much fun to do it! With such a philosophy, it is no wonder that hers is the one ever-smiling face in the senior class. Since her Latin blood makes it difficult, if not impossible, for her to worry about to- morrow, Angie manages to cram each day with the fullest measure of enjoyment. Despite her domani, her marks are astonishingly high, and she is justly famous for her scholastic and linguistic ability. Our memories, however, will not be of Angie the excellent scholar, but of Angie the sunny and sparkling tonic for depressed spirits. Z.. Y A- ,. lgt nv, .,. , . ,,,afa 'JMJ1,

He has dabbled in everything from photography to forestry, but now he has renounced Science for Art and is bent on following a musical career. Someday we hope to read on the Metropolitan marquee 'tlsorenzo Michaudi in 'Tristan and lsolde' Larry is not only able to perpetrate a practical joke with finesse, but what is rarer, he is able to take one in good grace. Most of the time he is fairly guietg periodically, however, he breaks his bonds and indulges in fun that keeps the teacher and classmates on their toes until his craving for amusement ceases. At present his favorite diversion is walking into chem- istry without his homework. ICI! MUJ-few 1 ELEM, IULIA ELLEN O NEIL lf Ellen had a brogue and a shillelagh, she could not be more Irish than she is. Proud of her Celtic blood, she has not forgotten that the O'Neils were kings of Irelandg any slur on the fair name of Erin brings flashes from her eyes and indignant words from her lips. At the moments when she is not defending Ireland, Ellen is as busy as Aesop's bee preparing her lessons, writing yearbook copy and essays, famous for their humor, and fulfilling her duties as vice-president of the senior class. ln the midst of these occupations she manages to be Mama's little helper and to add constantly to her long list of friends. Ellen should be a diplomat, for her wit and tact create good feeling and harmony wherever she goes. ,J . - fc, fffj M I 1oH ICHARD ANDERSON ., . Z-zez-z-zip! Up the stairs bounds ul. I. three steps at a time, takes the corner in nothing flat and arrives, panting, at the classroom. This customary morning routine is only a sample of the way in which he has spent his schooldays working, playing, and making friends with the same celerity. Despite his swiftness of pace, he has found time to gualify as a model boy conscientious, respectful, sincere and generous. With these traits it is not surprising that we used to keep him on a pedestal if ul. I. did a thing it was all right, his assent gave an action its final stamp of approval. Though he has never complained, lately he has shown a strong disposition to relin- guish his lofty position. What can be the reason? Can he be a Pierrot looking for a Pierrette? f9t

Unfortunately for his opponents, he is almost always well-informed on the topic under fire and is staunch in defense of his opinions. Far from being pig- headed, he is the first to admit his error on the few occasions when he is wrong. When not arguing, Mac converses- on two things-swing and clothes. From constant perusal of Down-Beat and Esquire, he has at his fingertips all the latest news of the musical and fashion worlds. MARTHA HELEN McDERMOTT lf given the opportunity a character expert could read a lot in Mickey's eyes and the laugh behind them. As the ideal girl of their dreams Martha has been spoiled by her five big brothers. But at school Mickey discards her role of baby sister and plunges into the activities of badminton and volley ball, having become an expert at both. Whenever the team needs a songstress, or a write up for the year book needs to be typed Martha is ready, willing and able. Always with the recol- lections of the Class of '40 will come memories of Martha, her blond hair brown eyes dimples and her irresistible giggle pynff I f f 11141644 WILLIAM LEO DWYER lf Bill has ever heard Shakespeare's epithet thou base football player, he has paid no attention to ity for, since his freshman days, football season has a time of supreme joy and elation. Never happier than when covered with mud and grime in a grueling game, Bill exults in the matching of brain and brawn against the foemen. His perseverance and enthusiasm were amply rewarded by his receiving the title of captain for his last season on St. Mary's gridiron. Off the field he is a direct opposite to his former mud-bespattered appearance. Donning the latest fashions prescribed by Esquire, he slicks back his hair and steps forth-a devil-may-care twinkle in his Irish eyes- looking for susceptible hearts to break. 4I10t
