She always looks as though she is ready to go to sleep, but isn't—she's just dreaming. She is well liked and will continue to collect friends as she dreams through life. A smile on her lips and mischief in her eyes. Pat will answer all your questions on football and she likes most of all to go to games in New Haven. Her ambition is to work on a newspaper and cover foreign assignments. Do we have another Dorothy Thompson in our midst? Grace of form, and beauty of thought. Rabbit has made many friends since she came to us in her sophomore year. She is gentle and looks shy, although she truthfully is not shy at all. Many a schoolgirl with a feather-cut has envied her long tresses. Her beauty is doubled by a noble mind. Edie is one of the mainstays of our class. She is always the first to volunteer to help. Edie ranks high both scholastically and athletically. She has that certain combination of qualities which will make her as much of a success in future years as she has been in school. Quiet and earnest. Rosie is a very quiet classmate whose main interest is reading. Some day she may become one of our leading book critics. We'll be looking for you in the Times . 23
