She's also president of'P1 Delta Epsilon, a record-setting swimmer and was a member of the choir and glee club. She started out her freshman year with one roommate and ended up in her senior year with four and a paper route to boot. LESLIE STROM-A former '45, Les returned to Carleton after three years in the Navy, mar- ried, and obviously happy, to finish his econ major on the way to becoming a CPA. As it is to so many seniors, graduation will be his biggest moment at Carle- ton. ' ELIZABETH SWANSON- Swannie's swan song marks the last of a musical four years at Carleton. So successfully did she plead as counsel for the plaintiff in Trial by jury and play Buttercup in Pinafore that the glee club made her prexy. May Fete found her a lead, and any campus activity finds her enthusiastic and rarin' to go. ELIZABETH THALE-One of the cliff-dwellers of Bird House, Thale says her biggest moment at Carleton would be sliding down the rope suspended from her window if there were a fire. She carries oil a history major, a Phi Bete membership, and any little thing you ask in the way of artistic effort Qshe's art edi- tor of MSQ with equal aplomb. NEVA THOMA-Neva's syntac- tical sense of humor made her contributions essential ingredi- ents in all campus publications. On the editorial board of MS for two years, editing the magazine the last half of her senior year, she also wrote for ALGOL, and headed the creative writing club. Wednesday, this past year, be- came known to all as Carleto- nirm Column Day, the womans page being pummeled into shape by her talented lingers. BEVERLY THOMPSON-If you want to see that Irish temper just ridicule the wooly West and the poor exploited farm- er. Thanks to this little Mon- tana gal with the sparkling eyes and tl1e lovely brown hair, the telephone kept ringing even dur- ing those bleak war years. CHARLES TODD-Chuck was in the Navy before he came to Carleton and has been a C man ever since in basketball, baseball, and Hill House. Last year's prexy of the Men's League and proctor of the second Severance gashouse gang, Chuck is both willing and able in stu- dent government. Turns out good pentameters and intends to go into Public Hlelfare. BETTY TOLLIVER-Inexhaus- tible Sammy's activities at Carle- ton are limitless. She sang in junior and senior recitals, the choir, and octette, served as a Gridley junior head, was secre- tary of the Flying Carls, and justifiably became a member of Senior IVomen's Honor Board, not to mention distinguishing herself in zoology. VIRGINIA TUNNIS-A transfer from Morton junior College, Ginny soon made her presence known with products of her deft Engers adorning the Williams gallery, not to mention the Tunnis boudoir. An artiste of the first water. she also led the art discussion group and exer- cised her vocal chords for the glee club concerts. PAULINE UTZINGER - Com. mittee member deluxe, Pauline l0l'lU?d the backbone for every dCllV1ty imaginable on campus, A psych major may have proved handy to -the gal who led 11 HOOP 0fG1rl Sprouts. did dirty work for May Fete, and cleaned it up for C0-Op, and backed the Y- Psych- SOC, German and Glee clubs.

RONALD SHAW-Ronnie real- ly got around in the Army- Australia, New Guinea, the Phil- ippines, and Japan. Really gets around Carleton, too: band, AL- GOL, president of the Sunday night club and present at all Saturday night dances. He is also very much in demand with Severance socialites who never learned to send their laundry home. A history major, Ron foresees Harvard and teaching. JOHN SHEEHY-Jake's known as The Snake, undoubtedly because of the fact that he's a zoo major. Member of the C- club, the Philos, on the wres- tling team and in various other organizations, he was in the class of '45 before going into the Navy. Unlike many Carls, Jake knows just what he'll do next: get a job! ELEANOR SHERMAN-Ellie's ability as horsewoman earned her the presidency of saddle club while at Carleton. Psych club and LWV were her other interests. After her junior year she put her IR major to practi- cal application by touring Eu- rope with a youth hostel group. She hopes to enter foreign serv- ice upon graduation. HELEN SHULHAFER-Climax ing a four-year crescendo, Geor- gia gave a beautiful voice re- ictal in chapel. Her vocal capa- bilities were hardly limited to music, however, as evidenced by her activities in boosting LYVV and CSR, ll0t to mention the Democratic party. Opportunity will knock for Fred Waring when Georgia arrives, diploma in hand. XVALTER SMALL-After Hying 35 missions with the Eighth Air Force as navigator on a B-17, and marrying in '44, Xvally came back to Carleton to his interests in sports fvarsity letter in base- ball, '46j and an econ major. Plans to manage a big concern someday. JAMES SNOW-His Sadie Haw- kins debut in tails and white tie represents one of his more con- servative moments. Jim extends hope to desperate scholars: three sentences on an English test once netted him fifteen pointsg and in the next breath he mut- ters that he'd give anything still to have one of those Pacific mine-sweepers with him to break a path through his Sev- erance suite. ANN SPAFFORD-One of the zippiest gals on campus, Ann stuck her fingers in numerous pies and came up with such plums as a Pi Delt key for the '46 ALGOL, the vice-presidency of XVomen's League, co-chair- manship of Co-op, and a room on third Gridley as a junior head. She also swung a tray the Gridley way. JANE SPAULDING-The gal with the mischievous sparkle in her smile and the infectious giggle, Janie seemed to live a charmed life leaping from one puddle of hot water to another, always to emerge on top. As a junior she endeared herself to frosh even in the capacity of squelcher and attempted f' to solve the problems of the class while embodying the title of prexy. FRANCES STOVALL - Fran's major in romance languages may or may not have had any inliu- ence on her position as the walking example of Carleton's matrimonial opportunities. Sec- retary-treasurer of the French club, this minute female was also head scullion in Burton kitchen. Her biggest moment, rightly so, was her famous 21st birthday which was climaxed with a diamond. The future? Life with Lester. D O N A L D STRACHAN-Re- turning after three years in the service and duty as a DD nav- igator, Don married, coached cross-country his senior year and found time for wrestling with the Philos and a chem ma- jor. He wants to go on wres- tling with chem in grad school. I iff, - i fx . ' ' 1 X W Q 1 , sf ,,,, ff Q 7 My lk , f ,ff Page 27

' , QW ,41 NANCY VAN HALTEREN- Michigan State's loss at the half- way mark proved Carleton's gain when Nancy arrived to complete a major in math, and keep Carls on the qui vivi with her alert witticisms. Credit for the Carl- etonian's relative lack of typo- graphical errors goes to Nance for a job well done as copy reader. PHILIPPA VERBRUGCHEN- Born in Australia, Phlip atlt0- matically became a Carleton Cosmopolitan and augmented that with membership in the French and Spanish clubs. While at Carleton she became one of Dr. Loss's romance lan- guage majors, provoking witty Carls to wonder if that had any- thing to do with her ambition to get married and have four children. ELIZABETH WVARREN-Sofb spoken Liz, hailing from Beulah, Michigan, will be best remem- bered for her slow sincere smile and the sparkle in her eyes with which she warmed Carls even in the face of P-chem blue books and numerous labs. The East and work in a chem lab beckon when she graduates. BETTY ANN WIBLE-With the first thaw Tommy starts warm- ing up on the tennis courts for her annual summer job. A veteran of seven years, she's the chief racketeer at Camp Sher- wood. Tommy's a psych major with the ability of making ev- eryone feel at home except her roommates who shudder self- consciously when she studies for her weekly Abnormal quiz. LAURA WILSON-Laurie di- vided her college years equally between Wheaton and Carleton, and her Carleton days into such groups as psych and soc clubs, of which she was vice-president in her senior year, and of course golf in the spring and fall. She'll put her sociology major to use in her plans for social work following graduation. W I L L I A M WINTERBLE- Sports and Piv are Bill's main interests, and he has been active in football, basketball, and track since he came to Carleton in '41, IVinter's service duty was spent in part on a Navy minesweeper. He's a member of the Philos, C- club, and majored in zoo, LUCILE IVITZEMAN - Revers- ing the usual procedure by transferring to Carleton from Northwestern, Lu has been un- orthodox ever since. A pre-med- student, she sang in the choir, played the 'cello, and joined the A.Y.H. Work Project in Eu- rope, returning with an insati- able appetite and an education in cement mixing. Her record time for bed-to-breakfast is three minutes, fleet feat for a Bird House inhabitant. JEAN WOODEN--Woody, a chem major, has spent her years at Carleton interchanging her lab apron for a Tea Room wait- er's jacket. She did a bang-up job as chairman of the jS ban- quet, and was active in the Y in the capacity of social chairman. A secret ambition to climb mountains was practically sat- isfied during her fourth Burton days. WILLIAM WUEHRMANN - The guy with the shock of red hair and a cheery hello for ev- eryone, Wormy was back on campus after a two-and-one-half year tour arranged by the Unit- ed States Army. Swimmer .and musician, as well as a chem ma- jor, he wants to find a good job and home for himself and wife fFaye '45j, and live happily ever after. LOUISE YAMAZAKI-Whether grinning from behind the dean's ofhce' desk, the minutes of soc club or Canterbury club, the dental health service appoint- ment pad, or chapel slips, jovial Louise is always the epitome of fun and good humor. Laugh- ing through Carleton in the up- per ten per cent, she will un- doubtedly rank equally as high in society after graduation. Page 29
