Barbara Barrett, one of the three new additions to the senior class last fall, brought with her a wonderful sense of humor which is characteristic of people born under the sign of Libra. She came from Blaine, VVashington, not only the best town in the west, but the best in the world, to join eleven other seniors at Gracemont for the school year. Another Libra asset which she possesses is gray matter. Because of this she was one of the fortunate lone survivors of a Lister special, and was denied the questionable privilege of returning to school one Saturday for a morning of study. lt should be mentioned here that Barbara is not all brains. She is a first class jitterbugger too. As Mrs. llirks, the tough housekeeper, in the Senior Play, li tthat is her nicknamej proved her ability along dramatic lines. During the second semester, Barbara was a member of the Publications Committee. She was most welcome because a good typist was very much in demand. ln fact, if it had not been for her willing and well trained fingers. the second semester Ramblers might not have always appeared on schedule.

Virgo, September's symbol, is doubly important to Sally Ayres, because it was under this sign that she was born and under it that she entered the class of l945 at Bush. Sally brought all the assets of Virgo from Washiiigttuii, li. Li., where she formerly lived. She is one of the numerous brains, especially in mathematics, besides being a popular member of the senior class. Sally's main activity Coutside of V-12's and dancingj is drainatics in which she is very talented. This she proved when she took the difficult part of jenny in the Senior Play, and of Mary, Queen of Scots in a scene from Maxwell Ander- son's play. lt has also been rumored that she is a whiz at the piano, but to date no one has been able to persuade her to perform. As gossip editor of the Rambler during the first semester, Sally demonstrated her excellent gift of gab to the amusement of all, and when the second semester rolled around, she was unanimously elected editor-in-chief. Since she does serious writing equally well, her editorial venture was very successful. Sally deserves to be called a scientist. She belonged to the exclusive trigo- noinetry class of two this year, and her favorite subject is chemistry in which she plans to do research work after she attends Sweet Briar Collegie. Q17-

Hang o'er her courser's head with eager speed, And earth rolls back beneath the flying steed. lf there had been a sign of a horse in the horoscope, Dorothy Barrett would certainly have been born under it. As it was, though, the nearest she could come tv that particular animal was Leo, the lion, The stars do say, however, that Leo women make good nurses when they are in sympathy with their patients. This could be changed in lDorothy's case to say Leo ladies make excellent horse-women when great horse lovers. Besides winning numerous ribbons, a good many blue ones at that, she has the distinction of being one of the few women sulky drivers of the northwest. For the uninitiated this means that Barrett can drive a horse and two-wheeled cart like a jehu. lJorothy's talents are not all confined to horses and buugies. As Tony Trent, the young news reporter, in Sinister l-louse, she turned in an excellent per- formance. More than one envious person was heard to comment on her wonderful figure. lt should be mentioned now that the figure won her a part-time modeling job at Frederick and Nelson last summer. During the first semester Barrett was chairman of the Property Committee and did much to help improve the looks of the school, The Social Committee received her services the second semester.
