The lines in one's hand do not lie, and having read hers, we may tactfully tell the past and prophecy the future. Beginning with the Hrst of the trio, health, wealth and happiness, her life line is smoothly unbroken, indicating the prevalent contagion of work is the only one thatwill ever bother her. Linked with the life line, the keenness of her head line determines material success. There is an intensity of purpose, a clear-sighted strength ofwill th lt explains why Marge has achieved her scholastic record and reputation for executive dependability at Western. Coupled with the sincereity of her heart line, it shows too, why she has been president ot' the Alpha Kappa Chi sorority, other group, and an actively interested worker for the Woman's Organization. Her fate line shows an undeviating and successful career. lncidentally, the line of affection is a single-hearted one, which may or may not all be explanatory, Good luck, Marge. uohl bleak with temper whose imcloadad my Can make tomnrmw cheerful as today.

An anxiety neurosis will not flourish in her at- mosphere. Anne came to us from Parklull High School in '26, with her wellfdeveloped cheerful outlook and obliging ways. French and Spanish have been her study since then, But there has been time for music too, her hobby, although she has modestly kept her talen in this direction hidden from all but her 1 est friends. The consistent optimism which has marked Annes four years here leaves pleasant memories with her Alma Mater, He lives, he lover, he liuzglia and clues hu part. Murray burst into tears for the lirst time at his home in Carlton Place, on May eighth, IQU6. Soon afterward hc moved to London and after attending public school, went to London Cen' tral Collegiate where he finally graduated. He then slipped into Math. and Physics and decided to improve his mathematital mind. So much lor his boyhood Murray is well known lnr his activities at Western. He has taken part in Glee Club work and 15 Well known as a producer and actor. He has been seen in The Monkeys Paw and i'Hamlet g has successfully staged Autumn Blooming and several sluts.

The Glee Club chorus was all the better for her voice. At times, Melda is naively frank and possesses a sense nf humor so infectious it can only be lrish. Hut after all, she is still the blue-eyed seeker after wisdom and workshard. Latin 20 coundn't daunt her, Latin 30 didn't try. She will always he eag'r to learn and easy to teach. Melda came from Clinton Collegiate to Western in 1927 and has made a clear plunge through the General Fourse. She is a member of A. K X. sorority Page Tufeutyeseven
