LAMPAS 1936 Gerardine Anne Buckley Genteel in personage. Conduct, and equipage. From her curly head to her trim feet, Jerry is full of life; indeed she is inde- fatigable. Never tired and ever eager to be doing something, Jerry, walking swiftly in the corridors, or running gaily to school with hair flying, seems energy personified. She is always full of interest and enjoyment in life. Her enthusiasm is most refreshing to weary students who relax in her presence and seem to take on a new lease of life. Though in later years the memories of old days will be dim, the image of her smiling face will still give encouragement to her friends.

A flashing smile — a glimpse of pearly teeth — that is Etta. Indeed we are most grateful for the smile that has so often shown the sunnier side of an apparently serious situation. No account of this girl would be complete without saying that she has the brownest eyes. Briefly, she is a truly bright spot on our collegiate horizon. Light-hearted or grave, she is delightful. She will be the gay companion of brighter hours, or the diligent scholar of midnight-oil time. Her endowments and various accomplishments will ever make Etta a friend indeed.

936 LAMPAS Anne Berkowitz Who mixed reason with pleasure. And luisdom tvith mirth. Fortune has indeed smiled upon Anne. Slie was born with a talent for art and for singing; she has acquired proficiency in flute-playing and tap-dancing. But Anne has kept these talents in her treasure chest, to be brought forth only on special oc- casions. She has all the marks of an ex- cellent student, a first-rate athlete, and a conscientious worker. As president of the Athletic Association she sets the standard to the large club-membership for track and basket-ball. As a member of committees of importance she has done much to ensure the success of teas, plays, and dances. Particularly in the dances has Anne shown us that her social life, too, is not neglected.

Eleanor Margaret Bogan ' ' In framing an artist, art hath thus To make some good, hut others to exceed. Eleanor is the class artist both in talent .md temperament. She draws and paints exquisitely, and oh! the clothes she de- signs and makes! Her accomplishments make us admire her, and, in an affectionate way, envy her. Eleanor ' s appearance and personality are as charming as one of her own drawings — sweet, subtle, and serene. She knows what she wants to accomplish and just how to carry out her plans. Ac- cordingly, she is successful in everything she attempts. No wonder, then, that Eleanor gains the respect as well as the sincere affection of all those with whom she comes in contact. Major: Art.
