KATHLEEN B. BISHOP WHEN we think of Kathleen we do not consider her in terms ul ' what she does or has done, but rather, of what she is. We are convinced that that is a tribute to anybody ' s personality. When the girl is more important than her works — however significant they may be — then she is definitely an individuality. We should mention her really thoughtful work as a History major; we acknowledge her achievement in making college in three and a half years; we know her interest in social service, and we do remember her services on the last and best of our Class days, but these are in the nature of details in the portrait of Kathleen. A description would seem to be in order. And we find to our delight that we may well leave out the more over-worked words. For charm we shall substitute arresting piquancy — charm seems to us too polished an attribute to describe Kay ' s spontaneity and utter naturalness. We are relieved to note that the light in her eyes is not divine — it is impish. Her attractive face is the day ' s best greeting — and any good time is better when she ' s there. But fun-loving and gay as she is, there is background to Kay. The deeper and more substantial things are there. She is perfectly and beautifully sincere. She makes no friends that are not real .friends — and they unanimously recognize their privilege. 1+

CHRISTINE A. BARTON TIXA has been ca ' led the I. Q. girl, and without a doubt hers is a lot of I. Q. for one girl to carry around. However, the amazing thing about Tina is. that it never seems to bother her a bit. ( f course, you know it ' s there, because French majors, people who get exemptions and A ' s, and presidents of the Cercle Moliere must have it. But it doesn ' t keep her from being socially prominent, ex- tremely popular, and a thoroughly indispensable sort of person. All of which is just by way of letting you know that Tina isn ' t a grind but a rare good fellow. What a sense of humor ! That note-scaling giggle ! Well, you ' ve read her verse — she was a member of the Loria Board and the Foot- prints Staff — and you ' ve heard her laugh — she can do that any time. Remember, too, how she worked for the Junior Prom and Senior Week committees? And how good she was in the French plays? And how sweetly she sang for Glee? The greatest thing you ' ll remember about Tina, though, is her tidy soul. She always had the right thing done at the right time, and she wasn ' t afraid to admit that she had done her work. Hers was the real collegiate attitude. She is a genuine, sporting and alto- gether likable person. 13

MARION M. BRENNAN THE memory of main pleasant escapades and the knowledge of an imposing record of tall doings, ' ' makes it difficult to find a beginning or reach an end to a story about Marion. Above all, she has always impressed us with her ability as an executive. Her op- portunities to show that ability have not been few. for as Vice-Presi- dent of the Junior Class and Chairman of the Social Service Group, she occupied positions of considerable responsibility. In fact, her work for the Social Service has been quite an achievement — an achievement in keeping with the time and effort she has put into it. Marion ' s personality is a fine blend of all those traits that make a girl well-liked. She loves a good time — that ' s evidenced by her support of all college affairs: she knows how to apply herself — isn ' t she making college in three and half years? And always, she can be friendly, sympathetic, interested and helpful. Is it any wonder that Marion is popular with the Class of Thirty-Two? 15
