ANTOINETTE C. LEWANDOWSKI SAINT MARY OF SORROWS No time to wait till her mouth can Emit the smile her eyes began. Nettie, petite and neat, possesses a superb spirit of cooperation. Her easy-going way makes her a valuable addition to any class project, where her friendly sense of humor smoothes out wrinkled surfaces. She has been aptly named Vishinsky,' because of her favor- ite pastime of exercising VETO power at class meetings. Election to the class secretariate in both the Sophomore and Iunior years, is ample proof of her efficiency and popularity, and fills us with confidence that the F.B.I. will have a clever Sherlock Holmes in our Toni,,' as Sister calls her.

Reds, demure and ladylike manner was kept in mind at the Freshman election, which won for her the post of secretary. Although she left us for one year, love of the Academy, the class, or both, brought her back to us the fol- lowing September. As a Iunior, Pat's fund for the yearbook exceeded that of anyone else. The ability to express a decisive opinion has proved its worth, especially when attempting reduction of fractions on history assignments. Her essay on Civic Planning earned for her a certificate of merit in her Senior year. Patricia is looking forward to a long golden lifetime as Peter's Queenf' Li 331

I' GERALDINE S. KUSTRA SAINT NICHOLAS While faith and hope beamed from her dark brown eyes, which wore the seal of youth. Watch out! Stand back and give her plenty of room. Hurrah! She did it! Gerry just won the polka contest! Besides dancing, Ger likes sports and the best in clothes. Gerry's soft brown cow-eyes, as the girls unpoetically call them, could wangle from them their most treas- ured possessions, or make them believe that the Niagara had run dry. We wonder how it will work out with her patients when she enters the nursing profession. Gerry's Guardian Angel is going to lead a rough life trying to keep her from convincing a dying person that it really doesn't hurt, you just think that it does.', . este a e -i--,T af- Catholic Action our cry, CLARA LORAINE LEISING SAINT JAMES Since I was a little child, My spirit has been swift and wildf' Bunnyls earnest, sincere efforts enabled her to win a scholarship to the Academy. She cer- tainly has lived up to standard by the mainte- nance of a high average throughout her aca- demic years, a feat rewarded by membership on the Vistas,' staff.
