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

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.

w25SiW Although J a c k might resemble Puck in a Midsummer Night's Dream, this sparkling- eyed personality is usually seen in some reverie. He'll wander through the shelves of the library ancl sud- denly choose a book, and thumbing anxious- ly through the pages, will find himself en- grossed in almost any subject that appeals to his particular curiousi- ty at the time. iack cordova Should you notice Jack standing in the lounge, tapping a toot, and almost impassive- ly glancing about, you may assume he is not especially interested, this is unfortunately deceptive, for he watches, and registers many aspects of Bar- low life. It is only in subtle remarks or com- ments in passing, that one realizes his atti- tudes.
