DOROTHY BLOMOUlSTeName anything at Carle- ton in the past four years and you can be pretty sure Dodie was there. A tray carried her around when she waited in Gridley and the tea room, and she learned French fast when the linguists came to town. When she put on her dignity she was YWCA treas- urer, president and committee member supreme. SALLY BOAKE-Carleton will always remember serious, pleasant Sally for her modern dancing in such programs as Hlesse james, Living Newspa- per, and May Eetes. She was a member of WAA and Dance club, a waitress, and a member of the cast of What Never Dies. Sally hopes to do physio- therapy work. PHYLLlS BONDePhyl likes to putter around Nourse theater and did very convincing portrayals of the Princess of the Western Regions and lVIrs. Zook- er in l943. Academically speaking, education is her field, as she plans to teach English and dramatics after graduation. IANE BORDEWlCKeCarleton's first lady in her sen- ior year as CSA president, Ianie managed to cram about eight years of college into four and get every- thing done even to junior heading, waiting in Gridley, and co-editing the '44 ALGOL. Three years ALGOL beauty queen, she also holds a Phi Bete key. BARBARA ANNE BRANHAM-Carleton won't be Carleton without Barbie's I-ielloo Den and Nor- wegian accent, so she says she'll leave it here. But it won't quite fill her shoes as president of the junior class, social chairman of Women's League, Econom- ics club president, and secretary of the Student Faculty Social Committee. IANE BURBACI-lf Burp , an English major from Rochy , is one of the girls who likes to get senti- mental about Carleton in the good old days-with men! Her chief loves are bridge, dancing, and fun. With the IS and May Fefe as memories, she leaves Northfield High's seventeen-year-olds to future Coeds. First semester class officers: Ehne, Quay, Bauske .J i v' 1. 'Y .5 Y , fri l So this is 1945! l-9-4-5. These are the digits we've been writing on chapel slips for four years, shouted in defiance on freshman day, and the ones that will identify us at reunions years hence. They are the ones we'll try to forget when our children ask, Mom- mie, how old are you? and try to remember when Who's Who in America asks. lt sneaked up on us one day after a quiet New Year's eve with our families and there it was-graduation year. According to the catalog published each year for the confusion of the student body, Classes began in September, and the majority of 45ers surrepticiously sneaked into Severance expecting at any moment to have the Ghost of Severance Past ask them to leave, but no one did and only Tom, the janitor, remained to mourn for bygone years. There were a few men on campus, but they couldn't find their way from Evans for the first two weeks. PAGE 13

A music major, her main in- terest is Dick. Practice teaching five minutes after waiting on table kept her on her toes her senior year. ELEANOR ALLISON'-f-Eleanor reflects the cosmopol- itan East in her enthusiasm for art, drama, opera, and ballet. Very humbly she admits that she was a fall Phi Bete. One of her most admirable qualities is her quiet devotion to the handsome ensign Annapolis ring she wears. REGINE ABONOWvGay, talkative Regie, another three-year-wonder, leaves college a year ahead of schedule to go on to medical school. Along with be- ing a member of IBC and the Natural History club, on the Homecoming committee her sophomore year, in CSF and junior Carnival, she had time for a dou- ble major in chemistry and zo. whose LA IEAN AVERY-Take one LB. major, add a wait- er's tray, a year of junior heading, a few words of Spanish, the presidency of Severance, and a few programs. Season with the battle of 2ll Severance and cook until Dunn. Serve with one diploma and a future in government service. 'S-A Avery, isn't it? ELIZABETH BAlLEYfLibby's a lady. ln her quiet and interested way she's been prexy of both Richard- son and Gridley and the junior heads, secretary and chairman of the Chapel committee, and treasurer of CSF. She shattered war-time precedents by seeing Dr. john almost every week-end. BETTY BARKEBfAnother who struggled with those education papers moves up into the limelight. Barker tries to hide her hair beneath that famed purple hair net, but nobody can cover up those freckles which are her pride and joy, and that smile that goes with them. She swims too-our captain, no less. GBACE REDMOND BAUSKEfAfter leaving Carleton at the end of first semester last year to marry Bauske, Grace came back this year to graduate, and spent second semester resident heading in Davis. Being president of Women's League, editor of the 1943 ALGOL, and president of Pi Delta Epsilon, didn't leave her much extra time. BETSY SHEDD BlEBMANfHer roommates and num- erous friends agree that she's probably the only person in school who could study French with her eyes closed. ln her junior year she was class vice- president, elected treasurer of CSA, and climaxed these with her marriage on the day scheduled for her math final.

'A 1? va... 'Q Somehow in the room drawing of the previous spring, 211 Severance had become the presidential suite with the influx of the gavel-girls of the CSA, Women's League, and YWCA. The usual quota of furniture plus relics from other years found the five occupants living so close that they combed each other's hair by mistake, After much experimentation they found that by hanging the footstool out the win- dow, Dodie could get in to see her roommates, and by hanging Dodie out the window they could install a telephone. They let her come in at night too. Before many weeks had passed, it was easy to pick seniorial dignity from the rest of the student body. No one else wore pre-War saddle shoes with adhesive tape holding on the soles. No one else had two-tone tweed coats with one tone gone and the exclusive zip-in, fall-out lining. They could also be identified by the fact that at mail time when PAGE 14 ANN CARRELkCarleton has meant a lot of things to Anne-sfdusk through the chapel windows, sunsets from Burton, fun in We're Rushedu and ice skates which she still can't stand on. Annie's mea to Carleton too, especially on and off stage in as the friendly, indispensable drama major. MARY COOK--Petie of the auburn hair has one of those striking personalities that Carleton will long remember. Her grades might make her out as a book-worm, but we know better. She's always on the spot where there is any excitement, and has kept things of the picnic variety happening for four years. nt a lot Nourse IANET COOPERfCoop may be small, but what a wallop she packs in everything she does. IS usher, Homecoming Queen, junior headejust some of the better skeletons in her closet. She refers to life in Gridley gym after the Dean Lodge fire as interest- ing, Our fighting Carls thank her, too, for their CARLETONIANS.

IEAN CUMMlNSf Well, hello there -it's Cummie again with her infectious smile and neverftoo-busy air. She climaxed four years of extras by heading Soc club and SWlCfeno wonder she's a Who's Whoer. She is one of those who called Richardson 1-louse home for eight fun-packed months. ELLEN CURRAYeEllen, known to all as Curray-the- Surrey or Block-that-Mouse , has made a flash through Carleton in three years trailing a soc major behind her. After a quiet year on fourth Burton, she's ready for a stab at the New York's under- privileged, until Bud comes home. A Lull in the Battle of 211 if 's..i .fl
