matt carney Matt is one of the more con- sciously dramatic characters. He's constantly seeking a new method of amusing or impress- ing us, and he usually succeeds at both. His verbal talents are extraordinary and this is why he has been such a valuable component in the drama pro- gram at Barlow. Although Matt's early morn- ing fogginess will keep him wandering about the school- house or the library, he is al- ways presentable with a well- ta i l o r e d and respectable image. By afternoon his spirits are attuned to the tempera- ments of Barlow, and, if neces- sary, he will prune his per- sonality for a friend. Alone, when no one, is sup- posed to be looking, he has a taste for the academic, in class, when he's not complain- ing about ultra-romanticism or the impositions of Francis Bacon, he will probe a prob- lem and pursue the answer until satisfied. Satisfaction, academically or socially, is Matt's goal in every aspect of his schedule, and, if he doesn't please him- self, he pleases us.

'muy iulia ann shively Who is that little girl skipping barefoot through dandelions or snowdrifts? lt's Julie. Julie's spirits are portrayed in her every action and word, She's easily ruffled to tears and more easily con- duced to uncontroll- able laughter. Unhar- nessed sentiments sel- dom keep us curious as to her mood. She is supplied with an abun- dance of D.H. Law- rence lines, E.E. Cum- mings kisses, and pieces of Lewis Carroll nonsense. These traits seldom infringe u p o n her work, though. Julie is a dedicated student, and although you may find her momentarily submerged in a disar- ray of details in the early morning hours, she always reasons with clear perspective. Julie has many peeves and passions. She adores clean sheets and cannot endure sorrelberries.

adrien holly zubrin Adrien is not solely comprised of those per- vading talents for sense and sensibility, al- though her overwhelming discretion, sense of responsibility and her distaste for clutter would make it seem so. Bubbling with warmth in dealing with her assortment of friends, Adi has but to reach into her pocket and pull out that terrific Zubrin smile, and the core of any trauma, tan- trum or slight trepidation is soon dissolved. There are curious subdued passions, efferves- cent or vehement, which seldom emerge ex- cept in glorious explosions, they pass like spring showers leaving blossoms of laughter. Adi is one of the few people at Barlow who doesn't sacrifice her patience or sincerity for the sake of coolness. She doesn't have to. wmmmn-amp
