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. Co-editor of the Gristette, Sport —• ! { 15

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

The GRISTETTE Editor of the Beacon, Social Chairman of Newman Club, this little gal packs a rath- er large wallop in her five-foot frame. Her favorite haunt is the “Onion” — and her favorite people? Democrats, of course, although she usually includes her Repub- lican DZ sisters. MARY LOUISE ROBERTSON One of those Home Ec gals who finds little time for anything but the C. D. courses. Time well spent as shown by that Phi Kap ribbon on her gown at grad- uation. One of the luckier students who can enjoy home cooked meals often — Dr. Crawford (Uncle Steve) sees to that. ROBERT CRAWFORD SCOTT The first veteran of World War II to graduate, moderator of the Sachems, “Who’s Who,” Phi Kappa Phi . . . this S. A. E. man has our .vote for one all- round swell guy. With a finger in every organization on campus (and that finger usually holding the reins) and an eye on every co-ed, Bob spends his days in the Chem Lab (in between visits to the cat) and his nights at the Union and still runs away with all the honors — and the girls. He says he doesn’t intend to follow the same pattern at Syracuse where he goes next fall for graduate study but we aren’t betting on it! We still haven’t decided which we like best when he’s singing ten- or in the quartet — his voice or the raised eyebrow that goes with the high notes. PHYLLIS ALTHEA STEDMAN Telephone call? Bet it’s another man to talk to Phyl. She’s got a million of “em”! Too bad if they call before noon — she can’t seem to get out of bed Til , then. After she does manage to rise and shine the piano attracts, her (second to the telephone and the previously men- tioned men). At the piano she “sends herself all over the place” with anything from Bach to boogie — and usually it’s not bad to listen to either. A D. Z. who oc- casionally lends her mellow alto to the Concert Choir, or her organizing talent to the Beacon or Gristette. NANCY KAY THORNLEY The littlest gal in DZ — but lacking noth - ing in vim, vigor and what goes with it. Another of those who has special plans after victory, plans started with those wonderful days of the A. S. T. P. A bi- ology major and one of the mainstays of Phi Sigma — also manages a beautiful sun tan in February. Wonder how she does it! JANE LEOTA WINTER Prexy “Peep” — Pan Hell and W. A. A. The rush chairman of Sigma who wields a wicked bat in those exciting softball games. What we can’t figure out is why she bothers to buy a ticket to those games at the Garden. Guess that New York is so big that she never can find the place! The gal who made her exit on 24 credits. That’s graduating the hard way, isn’t it? JOHN LEONARD YOUNG Oh nuts! Another explosion in the chem lab — flying glass — chemicals all over the ceiling — screaming co-eds running out of Ranger — all in a day’s schedule for John — and anyway he wanted a good ex- cuse to go to the stock room to talk about chemistry (?) with the new attendant (feminine). A Newport lad who likes the analytical side of chemistry— and the pool table at the Union. 16
