We know Myriam has helped our Pan-American Policy greatly by her stay at dear Brentwood-imthe-Pines. BARBARA HUMPHREYS She talks, she sings, she laughs, she understands! She shows understanding in her deep brown eyes. Her sympathy we all found and appreciated when she was our Class President and Prefect.

Our attractive socialite can express her opinion with that warm, winning manner. In future years, fun-loving Suzie will wear a nurse's cap. Our white angel of mercy is aiming high, and she has the courage to make it. JOAN KENNEDY Michelle is our vivacious and all-American Senior. She is frank, sensible, and easy to get along with. We find her pet peeve, freckles, one of her attractive features. Her unaffected, happy-go- lucky air takes her through rough spots with her chin up. She is a pleasant companion, because she is always in a lively mood. We know that in the Cadet Nurse Corps, Joan's energy and ability will bring Victory nearer. JUNE KRAFT Smile, personality, sweet humor! These plus a jovial disposition and genuine loveliness have won for June the title, the ITIOSI congenial of '44.

BARBARA MAGEE The Arcade daily resounds with the pitter-patter of Barbara's dancing feet as she makes use of every minute. Magee is one of our liveliest and most conscientious Seniors. She may be depended upon to make a success of whatever she begins. Her cute expressions and mannerisms have made her one of us in the three years she has been with us. We know petite, gracious Barbara will continue to succeed. MARGARITA MARTINEZ We have quickly made friends with Margarita, our fair Senorita from Cuba. She charms us with the music of her native songs, which she sweetly plays on her guitar. She lives that zealous Spanish faith of old, with sincere innocence. Attending Brentwood for but one year, she has readily adapted herself to American studies. Her dimples and laughing eyes will long remain in our memories.

Riding her bicycle down McGeady Hill transforms her from an Academy pupil to a little home-maker,whose hobby is baking surprise dishes. DORIS MOSER Like a subtle summer wind, Doris breezed into Brentwood quietly and unobtrusively this autumn.
