Gf Gf1ff30liiS 'EF QM BARBARA LANEAKnown as Torpedo to a select few, Barb's trip to Des Moines in an ammunition truck is only one of her many unusual experiences. Her mental block has been an obstacle which only Kim could conquer. With ambition in the literary field, she's off to a good start having been editor of MS for two years. PAMELA LANE-Easy-going Pam came all the way from Montana to dabble in Carleton's paints. As an adept art major, Pam lends her talents to poster- making and decorations for school functions to give the professional touch. She likes a good time- especially over the card table. MARGARET LARKIN-Quiet, patient, calmebut there is lots of level-headed sticktuitiveness following right along with Marg, whether she is waiting in Gridley or guiding little Episcopalians through Sun- day school. An econ major, Marg plans on govern- ment work or post-grad social studies. ELOISE LAWLERfDeparting from the usual courses of study, El made her mark here by majoring in botany and looking ahead to a career of landscape architecture. Fittingly enough, she was an active member of the Natural History club and leaves the Nerstrand Woods to any successors who can qualify. MARY LAWSONf-Exuberant spirits, bubbling en- thusiasm for activity of any kind Cparticularly fly- ingl, two handsome brothers, Aledo County Iournal, selling sandwiches-that's Lawson. She's a public health major, and an ex-Bac-T lab assistant, spent a year at the University of California. ELIZABETH IOAN LIEBER-Lieb, of the Tea Room Waiters-for Roosevelt, is also Lieb of the 1943 sum- mer school and the ASTU. lnterspersed are careers in the Zoology club, the Soc club, the Saddle club, the CARLETONIAN and the ALGOL. She's the lady with the low voice and the Indiana accent. BLANCHE LUEDKE-Around Nourse Theatre Blanche is appreciated for her skillful jobs of make-up, beards being a specialty. She has also excelled as a wait- ress, a soc major, and a whiz on the Sayles-Hill floor of a Saturday night. PAGE 18 RUTH MACKOFF-Here's a girl who believes in ac- celeration plus for girls, having graduated in two and one-half years. The ASTP made a special impres- sion on Ruthie. We'll all remember her for her artistic talents-portraits, sculpturing, piano playing, and songwriting.

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-'

BARBARA ANN MARTIN-Barbie graduated at semesters with wedding plans well under way and was married in March. A public health major, she worked as a nurses' aide at Northfield Hospital. Soc club, YWCA, the '44 IS usher committee, swimming, and a hope chest took up her spare time here GLORIA MAZZINI-Gloria is Carleton's uncontested champion of long term papers by the dozens. She set another record, too, by living with one roommate for four years. She's probably the only girl on campus who has walked out of Charlie's with a her- ring in her pocket. IESSIE LOU MERRlLLfless's long legs, blond hair, pug nose, and unexpected quips have marked her as one of 'em. She's friendly, this galejust ask the frosh she junioreheaded in Gridley, her neighbors at Richardson, and the members of the Sociology club who elected her vice-president. ROXANNE COWLES MCCABE - When her hubby went overseas, Roxie came back to graduate. Mar- riage may not be college life, but Rox says it's defi- nitely highlight. An old Dean Lodger, she has been a member of IRC and the League of Women Voters. Two years ago she ushered in May Pete as a herald. BETTY McGOUGHefMcGuff was an ALGOL queen for two years. She didn't believe them when they said something about gym requirements so she went right on having fun in Dean Lodge, working on CBS and dazzling Carleton males. That's why she's ma- joring in phy ed this year with six hours a semester. ANN lVlcNAMARAfeWith the luck of the Irish and a little of Mickey herself thrown in, you can get a pretty good idea of a most unusual girl who can balance a test tube in one hand and Womens league gavel in the other and still come back for more-the head-waiter's jacket in Gridley, a WAA letter, and hours in a Piper Cub.

So they started singing Goodnight Ladies with 43 variations. At midnight the seniors went to bed. About 4:30 the seniors sug- gested that everyone go to bed. Someone did. At 5:30 it was time to start back for classes and the gay crowd returned exhilerated from a night in the fresh country air. Departing from the usual vesper subject of The Role of the Congregational Church in the Postwar World, some hardy speaker in Ianuary made the error of reading the text on giving your cloak to the beggar. The potentialities of such an idea struck the '45ers'-but with variations. For hours the cry of Would someone like to buy echoed through the halls. Milady upturned her jewel box and ransacked her closet to find something that might be converted to cash. A typical sale went as follows: PAGE 19
