The Qlrussruahs MISS MARY E. WARREN Miss Warren came as a practice teacher to Vincentian seven years ago. Her pleasing personality and ability to make Sciences in- teresting won our admiration at the first. When Miss Warren resigned, we realized that we had lost a teacher whom we held in high esteem. We wish her success and happi- ness in her field of Science teaching in the Schuyler High School. MISS HENRIETTE ARCHAMBAULT During her several years sojourn at Vincen- tian, Miss Archambault showed herself not only a capable teacher, but also a true friend. Her personality and her fine Catholic example will never be forgotten by the hundreds of admiring students whom she so ably instructed. MISS MARY PATTERSON Miss Patterson taught at Vincentian for five years as a teacher of commercial subjects and geometry. Her friendly smile and attractive manner won for her many true friends. There was not one in the school from pupil to faculty who did not regret her departure, but we wish to congratulate her on her successful appoint- ment in the State department. MR. RAYMOND C. HENRY Mr. Henry was a member of the faculty at Vincentian for six years before resigning to teach in the McKinley Junior High School in Schenectady. During the years that Mr. Henry taught us, we learned to respect and admire him, not only for his teaching ability, but also for his excellent advice and sympathetic under- standing. Mr. Henry sacrificed much of his time to remain after school in order to help us with extra workg his efforts can never be fully appreciated except by those who took advantage of his generosity. ,We shall never forget the enjoyable hours spent in the Art Room, for our Senior year has not seemed quite complete without them.

Eighleen 1115132 flllrussruahs Zlhsentez jfacultp SISTER MARY EVANGELIST Sister Mary Evangelist is the Captain of our Ship, for it was during our Sophomore year that we, the present Senior Class, received the council and good advice which has aided us through our entire remaining years at Vincen- tian. Great was the disappointment of our class the next year to learn that Sister Evan- gelist had been assigned to Saint Paul the Apostle's Convent in Troy. We had hoped, on returning as Juniors to Hnd that we would continue under her guidance. Two years have now passed since Sister Evangelist left, yet in our memory she will always remain. The little things that seemed so burdensome to us she gently lifted from out shoulders. She cared for us as though she were a member of our own family. Nor can we close this article without men- tioning her sense of humor-it was something that was both refreshing and witty. Especially in homeroom, where many an informal discus- sion was held, peals of laughter could often be heard because of a remark Sister had made. The Seniors recall vividly the incidents that we mean. We cherish her memory and hope she will be with us at graduation. At any rate we know she is thinking of us in prayer. SISTER MARY VERONICA Although we had Sister with us for only one short year, everyone who came in contact with her learned to admire and respect the strong traits of sincerity and genuine goodness in her character. Her unfailing patience and spirit of helpfulness were a source of aid to every one of her pupils and associates. SISTER MARY JOAN OF ARC In her short acquaintance with our class as freshmen, Sister Joan of Arc instilled in the hearts of all who knew her an untiring zeal for accomplishment and an aspiration for effi- ciency. She will always be remembered by the class of '37 as an exemplar of the finest Catho- lic womanhood. We wish her unlimited success and happiness.
