She is an assistant in the P. E. Depart- ment, a member of the Badger Club, Girls ' Tennis Team, and the president of Kappas.

AG-UUUui Despite his renown among AC stu- dents for his masterly technique with the violin, freshman Donald Oheim is not planning to pursue a musical ca- reer. His chief interest is in petroleum engineering, his major. He hopes to attain a master ' s degree in engineering at T. U. several years hence. Never- theless, Donald, who is a cheerleader and a member of the Engineers and the string trio, receives his greatest pleas- ure from his music. Tionald Okeim Don Key Holds Don Reynolds ' deep, melodious voice is his trademark. Don, who is a radio announc- er and a radio speech major, capitalizes on his voice, which may be heard on the air- lanes nearly every evening. However, he also has an interest in the airlines, specifi- cally a little hostess. Many of his off-hours are spent on his duties as president of the Independents, but he also finds time to lis- ten to his collection of classical records. Tiny and terrific would best describe Carolyne Till man, secretary of the Sophomore Class. Just a little dynamo of energy, Carolyne has ambitions to be- come a newspaper writer. As a journal- ism major and editor of the RANGER, she is well on the way. When she isn ' t put- ting together a news- paper, Tillie busies herself with Beta Phi Gamma, College Players, Choir, and Sigmas. She also keeps the highway busy between here and Mexico.

He captured and cared for a few buffalo calves to found a domesticated herd which for many years preserved the memory of the innu- merable hordes that once grazed the plains.
