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

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.

, Ni, A iv iv W 1 I Wouldn't you like this darling bracelet? l'd keep it in a minute, but l don't have a thing to wear it With. No, thanks. I have one just like it. Don't you hate it? And on to the next. Came second semester and someone casually mentioned that soon there would have to be a con- version from war-time college student to peace-time woman of the world. This phenomenon, coupled with the mistake a senior made by looking in a mir- ror, brought on a sudden influx of hair rats, and buns with Sunday dinners fast becoming VOGUE cover material as sophistication became a byword. At the same time Miss Kerfoot found herself faced with a decorative arts class crammed with seniors drawing up plans for their future homes. PAGE 20 EAY NELSONefFay's familiar red head is perpetual- ly bobbing as she skirmishes about the campus. WAA cabinet, League of Women Voters, Natural History and Sociology clubs, Burton dining room, May Pete, and the chem lab have all been scenes of her effervescent chatter and friendliness. There's Wormy too. DONALD NIEMAN-Niemansk took in hand a baton, boxing gloves, waiter's tray, and camera on his way through Carleton. He transferred to West Michigan college for his junior year but came back to finish up a math major and lend a few more sardonic come- backs to Tea Room bridge fests. PHYLLIS IEAN OLSON-e Easy to look at and easy to live with Csay roomiesj. One minute Ole's talking baby talk and the next she's so engrossed in her history lesson you'd think it was a best seller. She has found that history repeats itself, too, as her frosh romance returned at her senior IS. PATRICIA PATRICK-Although she came late and left early, petite Pat's importance at Carleton cannot be measured by her size. A psychology major, her future plans include her wedding several days after mid-year graduation followed by graduate school and social work. BELLE MARIE PAULSON-A--When they beat Conga rhythms on a dishpan on third Severance, you knew it was Belle Myrt's modern dance. To hear her gigf gle you wouldn't believe she ran the Coney lsland junior Carnival in '44, and was Circulation Manager of the CARLETONIAN that year, and worked in a settlement house for two summers. HELEN PAULSONfPuss came across the river from St. Olaf to spend her last two years with us. She majored in English with education as a sideline, and was equally at home in the bright lights of the Nourse Theatre and the gloomiest depths of the library stacks.
