img ned nish. lller l0 il Dior ium, Allen l I . Z JANE BARBER-jane's transfer to Carleton with a B.A. in phi- losophy from Chicago U. left the business office completely con- fused, but Mizener's minions rapidly welcomed her into the fold. Not to be left with her feet on the ground, she joined the Flying Carls to get a better glimpse of the celestial world. Philosophy club, glee club, or- chestra and LWV were other in- terests. ST E P H EN BARNWELL - Steve's frame of reference is detinitely influenced by Black- stone and Aristotle-he can even see pipeness in Gusweller's meerschaum. With the assur- ance of an artillery officer serv- ing two years in Africa and Italy, Steve is a zealous guardian of the True Faith. Severance's eter- nal dissenter, he can't lose in the legal-political field. CHARLES BARR-It seems Chas. can't stay away from the water. YVith a remarkable free- style record during his first two years at Carleton, he left to es- cort destroyers around the Pa- cific and now escorts a trim craft C455 around the campus. He likes to reminisce about an econ major and music apprec. PHYLLIS BARTHOLOMAE- Bart came to Carleton to carry on the musical tradition her brother had previously estab- lished. A piano major, she ac- companied the glee club in her junior year and exhibited her talent in her senior recital. She breaks away from the music hall long enough to swing a golf club in the spring or add her wit and humor to a Nourse confab. Her ambition? New York and more music. NANCY BARTLETT-A surviv- or of the Dean Lodge fire, Bart has devoted most of her drive to Nourse Little Theater in the ca- pacity of actress and make-up expert. A charter member of the Carleton Players, she was very active in its development. Bart waited Qtables, that isj both in Gridley and Burton, was a JS usher, and oh, yes, a dramatic arts major. EDITH BATCHELDER-Dimin- utive Edie leaves a magnificent list of activities ranging from junior heading, serving as jun- ior class and soc club secretary- treasurer, bolstering the Wom- en's League and the Y, and wel- coming Little Sisters. Noted for her delightful wit, she can always be counted upon to brighten even life's darkest mo- ments. SCOTT BATES-After seeing Europe a la ETO with AMG in France and Germany, Scott re- turned to become Carleton's poet laureate tread his Self- Portraituj and a whiz in Miss Hampl's French class, and mas- ter-mind in Mizener's classes. Creative writing club and MS claim him likewise as a stellar contributor. His ambition? France and more interpreta- tion. NANCY BEESE-Because of her friendliness and eagerness for a good time, there's never a dull moment with Beezie around. She spent her four years working on a zoo major, being one of the speediest Gridley and Burton waiters, playing bridge, helping anyone who needed assistance, and correcting the pronuncia- tion of her last name. ROBERT A. BELDEN-Strictly an outdoor man, Bob is skilled in canoeing, hunting, and fish- ing the knows the Arb so wellj, He needed all his football and service experience to harden him for proctor-duty on first Burton. One of the '45 Philos, Bob was president of his fresh- man class. GORDON BENNETT-Helena's gift to the West Side was origi- nally a '54-er until Uncle Samuel put him to MP'ing for three years. A fiend for the hot jazz platter and economicspatter, he contemplates further study at the Northwestern School of journal- ism if the old lure of carvinal barking doesn't get him first. 7 ,f -,4 a ff' K1 Q 25 A ' 1 Z, 1.- ay, Page 13

eadafze FOR FOUR YEARS we had been saying, Isn't it funny to think we'll be ON OUR OWN when we gradu- ate? And now, all too suddenly, it was the year whose numerals we had painted on the water tower and had written on Chapel slips-the year we had been dread- ing and anticipating for so long. For most of us, graduation meant independence, maturity, and, certainly, a new era. Yet it's with regret that we leaveg don't let anyone tell you that senior year isn't the best of the four. Reminiscing, we -won- dered why we had spent so much time complaining about campus institutions, when we could have been RICHARD AJELLO-Agile- tongued Ajello's linguistic abil- ities never fail to leave strug- gling language students speech- less. His portrayal of Ivan Ivanovitch in The Three Sisters, his biggest moment at Carleton, was likewise a big moment for Carls who marveled at his per- formance of a difficult role. Carls further rejoice that his taste of Carleton with the A. S. , T. P. decided him to return. JEAN AKITA-Diminutiye and cute, with a temper nothing can rufflle, not even upper bunks or - two roommates, Jean, a soc ma- jor, plans to return to the Is- lands before donning white satin ' for a special New Yorker next ' fall. A transfer from Oregon State, she participated actively in the Cosmopolitan and sociology clubs.

VVe wondered why bridge sometimes seemed more' important than a history bluebook, why finish- ing an argyle sock precluded studying for a philosophy exam. Nevertheless, we couldn't have had a fuller four years, and now that it's over, we'd like to do it again-especially the JS, the climax of our senior year. Our oflicers for the first semester were Jack Minium, presidentg Nancy Rosenheim, vice-presidentg Allen Gruman, secretary-treasurer. SHIRLEY ANN ANDERSON- Active Andy scampered through Carleton parleying francais and espagnol for a romance language major, good-naturedly disciplin- ing wayward frosh as a junior , head, consuming numerous mur- der mysteries, and feeding rav- ' ' enous Gridleyites wth super it Q W ' speed. As a diplomatic secretary E . QS she'll carry on the spirit of good ,. 4 ' will Carleton basked in. 5 X J DONNA ARNQUIST-Donna f followed the Arnquist tradition 2 by coming to Carleton, and add- ed more laurels to the fair name by heading the soc club, and Red Cross, also singing a mean alto in choir and glee club. Every moment at Carleton was a big one for her, but graduation can't come too quickly: witness the diamond on third left. ROGER ARVIDSON-Dividing his attention between tray and scalpel, Pete still found time for the basketball team in '44 and the track team in '45, An Adel- phic, both co-chairman and king of the Winter Carnival, vice- president of Men's League in '45, and zoo lab assistant, Pete plans a career in Vet Medicine. JULIE BAILEY-The dramatic department's right-hand gal in the costume division, Julie spent a good share of her Carleton career virtually snatching cloth- ing off the backs of unsuspecting Carls.

X , R 4 f - ' Page 14 JOSEPHINE FINCK BERG- Carls all thought Joey whizzed when she backed the cabinets of YVAA, Y, and Women's League, junior-headed in Davis, served on Co-op, and a little swimming and skiing on the side, but they hadn't seen anything until she stepped up her soc major to graduate in January and marry Bob the day Christmas vacation started. JOHN BIERMAN-Three years with the Army Air Corps in the North Atlantic QLabrador, New- foundlandj, and the ETO, .in- terrupted John's '44 graduation plans. He leaves Carleton for Michigan or Minnesota graduate school, having acquired a history major, wife Betsy f'45J, and son John, Jr., frosh football numer- als, and membership in the Phi- los and history club. VINCENT BJOIN-Vince left Carleton after two years of band, choir, and intramural sports, to return after three years of Navy to live in the Severance tower, look at the choir from front row chapel, and graduate in Febru- ary. He spent a term in the Navy at the Harvard business school and aims at the field of economics with his major. Hope Joyce is thrifty! JANE BLOSSOM-The pride of Peoria Heights, Blossie has succeeded in discovering the amusing and amazing in all her Carleton activities. She majors in psych, sort of, but her deepest energies were directed towards art, the walls of second Nourse being not the least of her achievements. Her tales of Life with F. M. never cease to astound all within earshot. ELINOR BOESENBURG-As a member of the Phelan Fan club, Boesy devoted the strength of her days to the study of sociol- ogy, although LWV, econ club, and psych club also demanded a share of her time, not to men- tion collecting for CSF, running a Junior Carnival booth and in- dulging in her favorite pastime, knitting. BERNARD BOLLS-Free and 21, Bernie's time has been di- vided between Purdue camp- ing, the woods, Burton kitchen, the Flying Carls, and an econom- ics major. Though a constant admirer of Carleton's femininity, he is very anxious to leave Qin- sists on diploma, howeverj. With that in his pocket, Bernie will unleash' the waters of Ly- man Lakes into the Cannon. PHYLLIS BORMAN-A cheery smile and perpetually happy outlook on life best character- ize Phyl. Most often seen wan- dering into the music hall or setting off to practice-teach, she majored in public school music and intends to teach upon grad- uation. The choir and music occupied most of her four years in addition to swimming, skat- ing, and movies. S U S A N BRECKENRIDGE- Whenever there's a big job to be done, Breck's on the committee to do it. CSF, Co-op, CBS, Y, SWIC-these are among the campus activities with which she was actively concerned. On weekends Sue dropped her knit- ting needles and soc books to keep those love lights burning in Minneapolis JAMES BROOKS-Twin broth- er to Bob, Jim's interests are centered around the water. ln the Navy for three years with duty in the Philippines, he re- turned to Carleton to continue on the swimming team and to join the econ and camera clubs. A sociable guy, Jim is always ready to discuss econ, his major, or any topic on the fire at the moment. ROBERT BROOKS-The other half of the Brooks team, Bob is often mistaken for Jim, although he does as well as his brother on the East Side. St. Marys and Columbia nabbed him for the Navy program and he was over- seas for a year and a half as a CO of an LCS. Swimming, track, and his major, econ, are his interests.
