, 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.

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

Jqtrtcl Czmficulum . SHIRLEY-ANNE PEACOCKMA Who's Whoer, Shirl set the highest CSF goal on record and passed it! From a pair of jeans and a blanket over his shoulder to a test tube with a prayer that this one wouldn't explode, from a waiter's jacket to a ski jacket to the health service-a typical Peacock clay. PEGGY PLATTfPeg started off with a bang by be- ing elected Grizlley house president her first year and has kept at the top ever since. Distinctive for a sparkling sense of humor, a Phi Bete Key, and being the class's only Latin-major, she hopes to go on to graduate school or teaching. BETTY QUAY-Whenever Betty's doing a job you may be sure it will be done well. She was co- business manager of the ALGOL her junior year, and was president of her senior class. The combination of Who's Who recognition and an econ major should guarantee success in the business world. SHIRLEY RYDER-Keeping second Severance agog with her tales of life in Mexico, Shirl has stepped right into Carleton life after transferring from Linden- wood in her junior year. She's a member of SWIC, League of Women Voters, the Sociology club, and a Burton waiter. IOHN EDWARD SEARLES-Montana may be listed as his home, but the CARLETONIAN office has seen more of Squirelly in the past few years than the cowboys. He's been assistant editor, managing editor, editor, and business manager. This austere judge of Senior Court also presides over meetings of Adelphics. MARY SCHMlTZwDiminutive Smitty comes forth with a typewriter and sheet of paper left from educa- tion papers which nearly swamped her public school music ideals, but she does plan to go on to teaching dosre-mi's. She was a member of the CBS music committee, tea and chapel committees and the choir. NANCY SCRIVER-Nan grew tired of acid-riddled skirts after three years, and traded in her chem major for one in math. Always ready with a cheery chuckle, she especially enjoys dancing, sailing, and walking, come rain, shine, or seven below. A mem- ber of many stage-crews, she also worked on CBS. BARBARA BECKER SHIRE-Bobbie turned out to be one of Carleton's most enthusiastic l.R. and history fans. Cn behalf of the victorious opposition, she leaves Thomas E. Dewey to Dr. Russell. Having been one of our first women flyers, her biggest thrill came with her first solo flight. PAGE 2l
