Under the sign of Scorpio, Cynthia Bruce saw New York City for the first lime. By degrees she traveled westward and eventually arrived in Seattle, at the Helen Bush school. Up until this year, Cynthia was in the class of '46, bttt with a sudden burst of speed and energy combined with taking two courses in English at once, she became a member of the class of '45. At Gracetnent, where she boarded with the rest of the seniors, Cynthia was probably best known for her flawless excuses, or perhaps one should say her time spent in concocting perfect excuses. :Xt school she was easily identified by her red and white saddle shoes ttntil they turned light brown in March, lt is rumored that this change of color was brought about by the Court which thought brown was more becoming with the Hush uniform. According to Scorpio Cynthia should be especially fond of outdoor sports and travel. Her affections for the former, however, are not very great although she has been known to indulge in a game of tennis. As for the travel end, Cynthia herself says she loves it. ln fact it is her hobby and next to graduating is her favorite occupation. Next fall tynthia is entering the Katherine Gibbs Secretarial School in Boston, fgi-

Where order in variety we see, And where, though all things differ, all agree. Another Libra-ite is June Beck who is more commonly known as the Donut Debt Collector. As is always the case, annuals must be paid for, and to raise and keep track of funds is a nice, juicy job for anyone with energy and a small degree, at least, of calculating genius. Immediately June was elected to fill the post. Her first large-scale undertaking concerned the sale of donuts to both upper and lower schools each week. She did a magnificent job, and at the end of the year over one hundred dollars-more than any senior class had ever turned in before from this particular project-had been collected. Nearly all the credit for this stupendous achievement goes to June because the only help she really had was in the selling of the donuts, Another bit of claim to fame she has is her speaking voice. During her four years at Bush, june has pleased many audiences. When the class of '45 were juniors, she took the part of Narrator in the Christmas play and was a great success. Not known to too many people is Iune's accordion ability. Her daily dis- appearances during sixth period were for the purpose of practicing at Gracemont. She had to do it then because her roommates did not think they could stand such invigorating music at 6 a. m. every day. M20,

According to her sign she has a choice of being one of the strongest or weakest people in the world. So far she is one of the strongest-both in brains and social life. Her favorite occupation is honeymoon bridge, and it takes more than an ordinary class to stop Gwenivere as she is sometimes called by Mrs Lister. It is not known whether this game revives past memories or conjures up future thoughts concerning her rather un-private social life. However, when the cards are dispensed witli, Gwen be- comes one of the fortunate souls gifted with that precious, all too scarce, gray matter. ln chemistry one day, though, it went on a vacation, for Gwen ceased to remember that liquids can boil over. The hydrochloric acid plus a few other ingredients made ll delightful pop, and splattcred all over on that fateful occasion. She was a member of the Property Committee the first semester and on the Fine Arts t'onnnittee in the spring. Gwen, or Stein as she is also known, took the pnrt of the fresh and rather nox cl Midge Towers in the Senior l'lay :ind had everyone marveling at her here- tofore unknown ability. ,gg-
