mmf 1 BROWN, BUT NOT DULL Picture a Sunday School Class of uneasy twelve year old girls being taught by an aristocratic elderly lady. It forms the setting for my first meeting with Brown. While Ioseph was interpreting the Pharoh's dream, Brown was narrating in a loud stage whisper, the exciting experience of hopping a street car. Soon everyone's at- tention was directed to her. The Sunday School teacher was rudely stranded in the following discussion of that wonderful movie and the party last night. It happened, not because Brown was especially rude, but because she was so full of life and energy that sitting still, even for five minutes, was excruciating torture. Most of my other early remembrances of her had the church as a setting, for we sel- dom met elsewhere. There was the time of the annual supper. Brown and I happened to be among those serving. Under her able leadership, we smuggled two pies upstairs into the churdh auditorium, performed a mock wedding ceremony with some of the boys who had poured coffee, ate the pies and left the plates on one of the pews, and in general, a good time was had by all . I suppose it was all rather sacrilegious, but we argued effectively with our consciences and soothed things out. At a later date in high school I was lucky enough to see quite a bit of Brown. Nfl. L E TJIIY Like wine, she got better with age and proved to be a lady and a scholar. She had a remarkable system for study. I can't ever remember her coming to class unprepared, and, strangely enough, she was prepared well. Ninety-eights and ninety-fives were de- finite evidence when marks came out. If Brown was called upon to do any- thing for someone else, she did it at once. And because she did work this way, she en- joyed her play, providing a happy companion for anyone fortunate enough to know her. I've often tried to do the same thing, but I fail everytime and go on letting work pile up, worrying about it, and then spending three or four precious hours doing it. To get back to Brown. She never should have had that for a name. When you think of brown, you think of a drab, uninteresting color. When I think of Brown, I think of a person sparkling with health and filled with a zest and a love for life. She reads good books and likes good music. She has an uncommon pleasing per- sonality. Shels not an intimate friend, for shels wise enough not to let that happen. Instead she is an understanding one. To those of you whom I am talking I give this challenge. Look around you for some Browns. Try to find the sparkle of friendship beneath a dull exterior finish. BARBARA BURNS
