The GRISTETTE MARY ELIZABETH FARRELL Irish “Farelli” of the Smith Street Irishmen . . . prexy of Chi 0, and a vic- tim of the Bus. Ad. Department ' s account- ing courses. But we figured out why she ' s taking them . . . they come in handy when it comes to keeping track of all the men she keeps track of. With her looks and personality, she ' ll be a great addition to any office. MARILYN NAN FOGEL “Dean Gilbert ' s on the phone. Mickey anywhere around ? 0 boy, Mick, you sure do have your troubles! More prob- lems than any two people put together but always with a joke on the tip of her tongue, Mickey has devoted most of her energy to student government. Won her key in W. A. A. . . . gave us a swell coun- ty fair . . . elected to Who ' s Who . . . and was prexy of the Dorm Association. Just loves to make speeches ... oh yeah? MARY VIRGINIA GARIEPY Editor-in-chief of the Beacon, Co-Editor of the Gristette, president of Student Sen- ate, Vice-President of Phi Delta ... is there any work left for anyone else? Her Bus. Ad. course didn ' t prepare her for marriage but no doubt she can run that “business efficiently, too . . . just ask Owen. We couldn ' t have gotten along without you, Mary. GAIL LYMAN GRAHAM Some people got it and some ain ' t but Gail was certainly around when they handed “it out. Whether it ' s Portia, Phi Delta, Glee Club, or vying for Queen of a dance, this Chi 0, also a member of the Sachems, is way out in front. The sen- sation that sent the stag lines whirling when we w ere freshmen, she ' s kept the remaining men on campus “that way since. A sincere friend ... a conscien- tious worker . . . loads of fun. It ' s been swell knowing you, G ' -r-ail. MAY GERTRUDE GRONNEBERG “Hot sketch — emphasis on either or both words. A steady stream of talk, sometimes it makes sense, then again more often it doesn’t. One of the Caf majors with little time for anything else, unless it ' s just plain fooling around. She does manage an occasional letter to build up morale in the marine corps, which goes to prove that she ' s just one of the many “involved gals of D. Z. HARRIET LOUISE HALL Here comes that bright (?) blue car, wandering all over the road, Harriet at the wheel, hoping (1) that the gas supply holds out, (2) that no one gets in the way ' cuz there aren ' t any brakes, (3) that not more than one tire blows out at a time, and her prayer for the last time that may- be this semester she ' ll be able to graduate! P. S. She made it! P. P. S. She also spends some of her time thinking of Smit- ty, the sailor. DOROTHY CRAWFORD HANNA Need a slugger and first baseman for the Chi 0 softball team? Just ' call “Red — of course, she may be involved at the Union in a cozy twosome of Honeymoon Bridge — or just plain involved. And speaking of being involved, that ' s a good looking Sigma Chi pin she sports. Queen of the Winter Formal and a class director — and still w T id the same pep she had as a freshman. Some gal? We ' ll say! MARY ANN ELSA HARTIKKA “Shed-up! . . . Recognize that expres- sion? That ' s right — “Ticka wants a little peace and quiet for a change. An- -4 14

Who ' s Who in 1945 HERBERT JOSHUA BERMAN Have you heard of the fella who spends his nights — yes, we said nights — in the zoo labs, boning for his numerous exams? That’s Herb! It paid dividends though — note the Phi Kappa Phi key. But he doesn’t spend all his time studying — he sleeps and eats, too. One of the few fra- ternity men remaining on campus. Have fun serving pills for others’ ills, Herb. ANNA MABEL BILLS Boy, it sure must be swell to have a nice walk before an 8 o’clock class every day. That’s what Anna’s been doing for eight semesters. But this Sigma gal probably doesn’t even think about the walking. It seems that there’s something about an Ensign’s uniform and the Phi Mu pin that gives her that dreamy look. Oh well, some people get all the breaks. Lucky kids that get her for a teacher. ROSEMARY BLAINE “Goin’ down the line? Wait an’ I’ll go with you !” Thus Mernie tears herself away from her beloved chemistry and wends her way to Narragansett or points between, much in the manner shown in the snapshot. But still she finds time for Sachems, Beacon, I. R. C., Chi O officer- ship and was elected to “Who’s Who.” As for her favorite courses — everyone knows they’re the organic chem courses taught by Mr. Nelson! Wonder if Dr. Parks ever saw her notebook — all letters to friends and no notes! BEATRICE ANN BROWNING Doc Browning certainly has no kick coming as far as “Bebe’s” showing the family administrative ability off to a good advantage goes. Sports, clubs, Union, DZ, and even in the current bull session we make way for Bea to show us how. A mem- ber of Sachems, “Who’s Who,” she still finds time to think of the little things that mean so much. “To get a letter . . . write a letter . . . even if it’s on class time” is her motto. DANIEL GAETANO CALENDA Danny, the Beta Psi zoo student with ambitions of being a doctor. His motto: “Stay away from the girls and stay hap- py” — unless, of course, you have to help them with their zoo courses (in class or out) . Spends most of his nights studying in the library or in bull sessions with the boys. Keep it up in Med School, Dan. CLAIRE EILEEN CALLAHAN Tall, dark, and then some! Smiling green eyes, dimples, and curly hair — an honor to the Irish and to DZ. Interested in everything and everyone — with a book forever at hand with which to occupy any spare moments. “Irish” did a super job in the Phi Delta play and carried her share of talk around the country for Portia Club, too. MARION ELSIE COTTRELL The lucky commuter from West King- ston — lucky because she has a car, and even luckier if it runs. This child de- velopment major gets her practical ex- perience every summer, working in chil- dren’s camps. But if you want more in- formation about her practical experience, ask her how she liked Home Management House — ask her, then duck ! -4 13

The GRISTETTE other of the quiet but swell Phi Mu gals . . . and she can say anything and get away with it. Ask her how she liked H. M. house! JEAN WINNIFRED HESELTINE Jeannie ' s prejudiced to Swan products — could be the soap, but more likely it’s Mr. and Mrs. Swan ' s little boy Jack. May- be the Swan soap will keep her hands pret- ty to show off the Swan(n) diamond. D. Z. ' s delegate to Residence and reorganizer of the Student Senate. Dr. Wright and Dr. Carpenter ' s faithful biology student. One peach of a gal, too. ARLENE WINIFRED HORNBY Need a little bit of artistic talent? Just go over to D. Z. and ask “Blondie to share a bit of hers. A ride down the line? She supplies many of those too and just as graciously. We still haven’t figured out which one of her male correspondents is “the one but the field is large and we bet she can take her choice. AGATHA LOUISE JONES Missed someone around campus this last semester? And how! Sis (of the Sis and Sanse combination) has been out training at the Bradley home just when we needed her most. A cheerleader, Cor- responding Secretary of DZ, a member of Student Senate, Jonesie learned more from bull sessions than from textbooks but she ' s obtained knowledge that should stand her in good stead from both. An- other gal who is “playing the field she certainly has her troubles w T hen two or three men come home at the same time! FLORENCE SHIRLEY LALIME Who was that smart looking gal who just flashed by? Oh, that must have been “Lemon going to see Prof. Brooks about Portia (lucky man) ... or to a Phi Delta rehearsal . . . or to a meeting of the fea- ture board of the Gristette or Beacon . . . or to a sorority meeting (glad to see you, prexy) ... or to her daily chat with Dean Gilbert and Miss Jordan about May Day (the list could be a lot longer, as we all know, but there ' s a paper shortage!). . . . Wonder when she studies. Probably doesn ' t have to with all she has “on the ball. No need to enumerate all the good qualities. “Who ' s Who thought that she had more than enough ... as do a few, just a few, fellas we could mention. We’re sure gonna miss you, gal. ELAINE MacDONALD There was only one logical girl to be president of the Home Ec. (Wreck) club — that was “Mac. Whenever there was a Home Ec convention on campus you ' d see her rushing between Quinn, Home Management House, and Chi 0 — manag- ing to get everything running smoothly. She also applied her effort and talent to Chi Omega as an officer and to the Con- cert Choir as one of the managers. Next Fall off she goes to graduate study. RALPH XAVIER NARDONE Slugger par excellence of the near championship Beta Psi softball team, “Ripper was also one of the instrumen- tals in the formation of the league — Q. P. King in Business Ad. (Phi Kappa Phi) — Also a hard worker as the business man- ager of the Gristette. We also suspect him of heart interests when away from campus. No one could be that indifferent to women without a reason ! ETHEL ANTOINETTE O’CONNOR If State is ever renamed “R. I. State O ' College we ' ll know “Etch is behind it all.
