SSEZQQSSEZVINCENTIAN5S3k6QSSEk CLASS WILL We, the Class of 1932, having been examined by optimistic physi- cians, and declared reasonably sound of mind, do hereby, make this our last Will and Testament:- To our patient teachers, who toiled early and late at the herculean task of instilling in us an incredible amount of knowledge, We do bequeath our sincere gratitude and appreciation as a partial return for their efforts. To the coming Year Book Staff, we bequeath a rare collection of pencil stubs, erasers, missing contracts, moments of despair and that pleased feeling when a Vincentian takes form from a towering pile of copy. To our worthy successors, the Class of '33, we leave our niche, secure in the knowledge that it will be honorably and efficiently filled. To our sister class of '34, we bequeath a genius for being called upon in times of stress and answering the plea with enthusiasm. We also express appreciation for their unswerving loyalty, and the assurance that they are quite the nicest sister class. To them also we bequeath the thrill of first donning the coveted cap and gown, the common pins which are invaluable should the gown obey the law of gravity, and the feeling that you are balancing a drop of water, a polo stick and an egg on your head, which results from trying to be nonchalant while wearing the cap. To the graduates of '33, we bequeath that strange sensation you have in your throat when you receive the Diploma in a slightly shaky hand. To the Class of '35, we leave real admiration of their philosophic acceptance of the fact that one must be a freshman. To the unborn Class of '36, we bequeath a wish for success, and the fervent hope that the come-down from 8th grade supremacy will not be too jarring. To this class-to-be we entrust our glorious emerald and white, with the spirit to place these colors on the pinnacle. To our Alma Mater, We leave a regret, a tear, and our thanks for the sweetest years of our lives. To the Faculty, we bequeath regrets, melancholy expressions, and the reminder that various members of this class will straggle back after Graduation on such pretexts as credits, but in reality, to have a last look at Vincents. To the undergraduate body, we leave a wish for lasting success, and the urge-Carry On! We hereby appoint Sister Inez Eucharia, Executrix of this, our last Will and Testament. Signed: The Class of 1932. 70

IN MEMORIAM RUTH DOLORES MOORE 1913 . .. . ,.,..... . .A. , .... 1931 Somewhere deep in the sunset Where loveliness never dies, She dwells in a land of glory With dreams in her lifted eyes. The flowers of vanished April, A The last gold of summer's mirth, Are wrapped in a cloak about her Who parted too soon from this earth. And we, who have known her laughter, A sweetness that brought swift tears, Will cherish her memory always, To brighten the drifting years. --F. R. McG1ennon. Requiescat in Pace. 69
