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

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,

Evidently a reader of Dale Carnegie's I-low To Win Friends And Influence People, Irene has used her knowledge of the art of winning friends to such an extent that her classmates acclaim her a true St. Maryite and a valuable addition to the class. Irene has two hobbiesff talking and badminton. The former gave reality to her interpretation of the role of Gabby Garfield in the senior play and made her a success in the verbal give'and-take of class debates, while the latter has led her to devote every spare moment to knocking about the feathered shuttlecock. up Lf A 1 Li!!! f I IOSEPH CHARLES HASKELL If you are looking for a chairman for a debate, a pompous papa for a play or a good trombonist for an orchestra, foe is your man. Ever present at all the school activities he is one of the first to volunteer for any difficult task, but he is not another messenger to Garcia. In his first years of high school he was a strong guard on the football squad, but chasing the pigskin proved too much for his delicate frame, so he turned his interests to blowing out 'thot solos on the trombone. Some day, in the not too distant future, we might find loe as Lawyer Blow making dramatic pleas to the jury for his clients. PATRICIA EMMA VORMWALD As unpredictable as the weather, Patty is very feminine in her contradictory nature. lust as we have decided that she is the dreamer-type, she upsets our decision by leading the cheering section with vim and vigor that shakes the gymnasium. When we have reformed our opinion-ethat she is the sporty type -M she adopts a new pose such as she did in the senior play, in which she was the alluring Gladys Glamour, rolling her eyes with skill that spoke of long practice. After seeing her in this part, we find it difficult to reconcile ourselves to the fact that she is self-admittedly domestic. What a puzzle! But this much we know for certain that she is one of the friendliest and one 1 of the most popular girls ever to graduate from Saint Mary's. I Afljbdl A 4 11 L W l 4 cf MJ
