Flo is, without a doubt, the songbird of our class. She sings in Glee Club, and she sings over the radio. Listening to her radio solos, however, has its disadvantages, for the pretty, happy face that suits her sweet tones so Well is left to one's imagination. Flo has other accomplishments, too. She plays the piano well, and she loves to dance. She is interested in elementary education, and we can just see her organizing toy orchestras and playing singing games with her little pupils, Anne llmilhruhani wright E211 Avcrs AND Seumcn XVII-MINCTUN Press Club III, IVQ Phi Kappa Phi. There are few who call her by her Hrst name, for her dig- nity and austerity demand the more formal address of Miss Bell, - But smile at her, and an answering grin is ready, and a cheerful one, too. Those of that inner privileged circle where she is known as Anne find in her a staunch and Witty friend, one with a very determined but sound judgment, and as ready to laugh as they are. Where, then, does one get this idea of formality? 'No one knows, unless it is in defer- ence to her exalted position as the creator of Mn Bozo and the f'Golliwogs, xlviii

used to the way we did things. We were proud of Flea Elliott on Founders, Day when she stood on the stage at Mitchell Hall and presented a superb speech in her capacity as president of the Student Council. We had dozens and dozens of presidents in our class. Cecilia Gordon was head of the Dramatic Board, and Pat lvlatlack president of Puppets. Ethel Lou Brady was commander-in-chiefl' of the French Club, and Irene Hunter presided over the Athletic Council. Mary Ingram headed the Social Committee and Marian Kee was editor-in-chief of the BLUE AND GOLD. With so many presidents, it is no wonder that we were guests everywhere. Tea after tea-the Junior Prom-the Senior-Sophomore luncheon. It made us fairly dizzy. But We managed to keep our heads sufliciently to win second place in the competitive play contest. This time our play was original- Twenty-eight Horizontal, by Ethel Lou Brady. Our Senior year seemed indeed to be the greatest and happiest of all our years. And to add to all the rest of our glories, we have the distinction of graduating during the Centenary Year. VVe thank our lucky stars that we began in '30, We wish it weren't going to end-but it is inevitable. All we can say is that We loved every minute of it and will always feel that we are still one-a unit-the class of 1934. xlvii

The sweetness and beauty of the melodies she draws from her violin seem to have been absorbed back into her personality, from which she lets them drop in pleasant words and quiet smiles. We often wonder if it is not diliicult for such great understand- ing and sympathy as hers to be crowded into one midget automobile and be carried from VVilmington to Newark.

Blue eyes, golden hair, Irish-charmingly so. These things alone would content an ordinary girl, but not Ethel Lou. She boasts as well at keen mind, and a critical one. She is a cynic, but a gay one with Erin's gift of song and story. Her wit is lively, and not infrequently carries a sting, her assur- ance is easy but pardonable, and the characters she has created on the stage are as genuine as she herself. Sur-r-re, and she has kissed the Blarney Stone! xlix
