Seniors MARGARET IRENE ALLEN 116 St. Paul Street Westfield, New Jersey Home Economics “Peggy” is a member of the Y. W. C. A., a junior hostess, and a Delta Psi Omega. What do you think about Camp Pickett, Peg? Herbie is her male. Fancy week ends! Those big, beautiful eyes. Hand-knitted socks and sweaters are her specialty. Her pet peeve is a messy room. She is an avid bridge fan. NOEL BLANKINSHIP 512 South Alain Street Blackstone, Virginia Liberal Arts Noel, our outstanding day student, is another of the famous “Big Five.” She holds the position of corre¬ sponding secretary of the Student Council. She is also the president of Delta Psi Omega. Such fun during pledging, wasn’t it, Noel? And remember “Hell Night”? She’s always laughing, or is it giggling? This talented gal is extremely drama-minded and can usually be found conversing with Miss Black. Noel’s chief annoyance is history tests. 4 12 V
