To Talk of whiny Things . . . 'K A X t I gg. MARY LOUISE GRAY-Lou has been greeting fresh- men ever since she was one herself-first as chair- man of the sophomore welcoming committee, then junior head at Wilson House, and this year as cam- pus sister chairman. Richardson House and the sophomore year rank tops in her estimation. MARY LOUISE GRIFFIN-Besides being the girl half of Mrs. Griffin's twins, Meese claims fame by being an old Dean Lodger, a member of Booker's bridal party, and the unconventional back waiter in Burton for '44-45. Psychology is her field and post-gradua- tion plans are for personnel-administration work. MARY VIRGINIA GROTH- Smooth is the word for Ginny Groth, who fitted right in with the sophistica- tion of Severance. A sophomore IS usher, a junior head, service chairman of SWIC, Y finance chair- maniejust a bit o' Ginny. On the side it's just one hand of bridge ! PHYLLIS-CLAIRE HEDEEN-Phil transferred to Carle- ton in her sophomore year and immediately took over in the art department. Paints and palettes fas- cinate her so much that she majored in art and plans to go on to post-graduate work. Riding and skiing might account for her frequent trips to the infirmary. RUTH MARIE HENDRICKSON-With an uncanny ability to stay calm under any situation, Hendrick kept cool even at the Dean Lodge fire when she found she was president of an ash heap. She kept busy for four years with the Winter Carnival, IS, Women's League, Sociology club, and as treasurer of CSA. DAVID HERRERAfSouth America has sent us some smooth examples of Latin charm, Dave being one of these. He's quite the linguist, too, speaking English, French, and Spanish fluently. He's doing graduate work in English as a special student, having already graduated from Bogata, Colombia in philology and languages. PI-IYLLIS HUGHES-Whether she's whipping up an Easter bonnet or arranging for junior carnival dec- orations Phyl's full of ideas. She's been cabin chair- man, Co-op faculty-student coordinator, chairman of the art interest group, member of the Women's League cabinet, ALGOL writer, and junior head. PAGE I6 IEANETTE IAYNES-With her tongue in her cheek, a bee in her bonnet, and a diamond on her third left, this elfin dynamo proves she was one of C.C.'s busiest. Look at her list-director of CBS '44, creator and head of Committee managing editor of CARLETONIAN '44-45, and member of MS staff '43 and '45,

The Seniors Said HELEN DANIELS-Bimsy has filled her four years with studying, working, and fun, but found time to make many friends and preside over the Cosmopol- itan club. Born in China, the daughter of a medical missionary, Bimsy hopes to follow in her father's footsteps. SHIRLEY DANKERS-Perhaps if Shirl had gone to bed nights, she could have gotten up to make her eight o'clocks on time. But being late to classes didn't seem to handicap her in getting good grades. Her rnain interest after graduation is marriage. NANCY DEVONALD-ln spite of the fact that her record shows a history major, Devie really deserves a BA. in community living after spending her last two years with five roommates. She's made her mark by doing unusual things at Carleton-one of the first women to fly here and one of the first to wait in the Tea Room. ARLEEN EHNEAShe's Ehn-the-Bean to all her friends-which means most everyone in the class of '45, Dorothy Dix of the campus, she's settled every- thing from what to feed your dog to how to get HIM to propose. Easygoing Ehne trots to the Nursery school for some of her happiest hours with my little kiddies. NANCY GALE-There's never a dull moment when Nance is around. She hasn't been VERY busy, winding up her senior year by being head waiter of Burton, editor of the CARLETONIAN, president of Severence, and member of Pi Delta Epsilon and Who's Who. Highlight of her college life: the '44 F all formal-just ask Bill. CORNELIUS GILLAM-Neil will graduate two years before his class. Taking a profuse number of courses and getting A's in practically all, he has not neg- lected extras: a proctor, co-chairman of campus Re- publican committee, member of Delta Sigma Rho, debater-and naturally a Who's Whoer. SALLY GORROWwDistinctive Sal was the girl with the dozens of identification bracelets and monogram- med sweaters, the girl who could quip incessantly with ne'er a smile, and one for whom the Meteorol- ogy unit did more than block the Way with their marching. She graduated in Ianuary with Wedding bells ringing in her ears. PAGE 15 MARILYNNE GREENE-May Pete day is a busy day for Greene-she takes prizes in the Horse Show and then she stars in the May Fete. She keeps in prac- tice the rest of the year as member of Dance club and the Saddle club. She was decorations chair- man for the Iunior Carnival too.

Make Mine with Onions, Bunny IOSEPHINE IOHNSTON-lo claims that the P.O. was the focal point of her life here, but Carleton knows that she stepped out often enough to lend her witty mind to CBS script writing and give ideas to the junior Carnival, the IS, Women's League, and Sociol- ogy club with time left for bridge and golf. HELEN KATZ-If you haven't taken much interest in international affairs, a short talk with Katz will make your conscience twinge. Her activities as chairman of CSR Resswill Committee, president of IRC, and member of the League of Women Voters show how she gets behind what she believes in and works. BETTY KAUS-A-Carleton in retrospect will mean Sev- erence 210 and its fireplace to Betts. Following her sociology major through, she plans on work in that field. We remember her patience and efficiency in the book store and bell-girl office: she remembers a certain meteorologist. KAY KENNEDYfFlying and Kay are synonymous at Carleton as she recalls forced landings and a cross country flight to Missouri. On the ground she prefers horses as transportation and is a Saddle club mem- ber. After transferring here in her junior year, Kay became a soc major. EDGAR T. KONSBEHC-just talk politics to Tek and he'll love you. He was chairman of CSR, whose CARLETONIAN column he leaves to posterity, a member of IRC, and on the debate team. Ask him what he likes to do, and he'll say ski, discuss politics, readfto which we add Adelphic hayrides. WILLIAM LAKEfEriendly Bobo has been one of the male backbones of the class of '45 for four years-in Tea Room and class room. With a double major of history and economics, Bill wanted still more and got it during second semester as a post-grad. He turned international in 1942 with a trip to Mexico. PAGE 17 underclassmen got letters, seniors got notices of com- mittee meetings. Term papers became inevitable like death and taxes. The amalgamated Docile Fos- sils of Severance were criticized for the lack of en- thusiasm in 8 a.m. classes but refused to reply to the charge. One of Carleton's lovelier traditions, the Women's League Cabin, somehow managed to disturb the dull routine of beautiful autumn and spring days, and two by two the seniors chaperoned little gatherings at the cabin in the cornstalks. The procedure was much the same each evening as a truckload of plaid shirts and blue jeans jogged out. The wood was wet and within an hour or so the kindling was almost ready to light. After an early supper, the seniors began suggesting that everyone go to bed. But no! Instead they found themselves telling legends of the days when women were Coeds and men were .... . .Y..,, . , - - -, .-f':vsff:'Q:-.5-'
