Three years ago, CHRISTINE ALLBRITTON packed her clothes, bade adieu to friends, foes, and relatives of Louisville, Mississippi, and entered Charity Hospital to become a nurse. Besides learning to be a good nurse, she has given her talent for the benefit of the Glee Club. In ' 42 and ' 43 she served on the Infirmary Party Com¬ mittee. It was swell knowing you, Chris. For her sweet self, conscientious endeavor, and athletic ability, we salute ROSEMARY ANCLIN. For three years she has been an Athletic Club member. She made the basketball varsity in ' 41, was Treasurer of the Club in ' 42 and made the Volley Ball varsity in ' 43 and ' 44. Be¬ tween duty and athletics, Rosie found time to make happy the girls in the infirmary. White Castle, Louisiana, claims her. Quick spoken, casual mannered, and gay, DORIS BANKS¬ TON was right on hand when enthusiasm was born—she is enthusiasm itself. She ' s a member of the famous Flowers-Bankston-Guthrie-Brignac team, and when they put their shoulder to the wheel the spokes fall out. Like Coffee and cream, Bankston and hard work go well to¬ gether, and she ' s earned a name for herself as a hard¬ working capable nurse. Baywood, Louisiana, is her home. AUDREY BERTRAND is a vivacious individual, as most people from Opelousas, Louisiana, are. In ' 40 and ' 41, Audrey was an Athletic Club Cheerleader. She also took much interest in bowling. In ' 41, ' 42, and ' 43 she participated in all the Social Club functions. Audrey is now in the Pediatric Clinic and a guiding hand for student nurses. RELDA BRASWELL, one of the best liked gals around, comes from deep in the heart of Linden, Texas. In ' 42 and ' 43, the Literary and Dramatic Club claimed her a member. Nineteen forty-three and ' 44 saw her as Senior Class Rep¬ resentative to Student Council. Her interests are wide and varied, including poetry and good music.

MARY LOUISE (Weesie to some of us) ADAIR is that quiet demure blonde from Little Rock, Arkansas. She has shown ability during her three years at Charity by chalking up quite a few marks for herself. She ' s handled our money since pre-clinical days. Conscientious and reliable, she has also served us as a member of student council all three years, and as chairman of last year ' s Uniform Committee she was one of those where ' s your hair net—five demerits girls. Gonzales, Louisiana, gave us HELEN ATTAYA, Atta-wa to many instructors. As a pre-clinical, freshman, and junior, Helen was an active member of the Athletic Club. She will be remembered as a member of the Decorations Committee the year we gave the pre-clinical Christmas Party. As a junior and senior, she has found time be¬ tween stays in the Infirmary to be on the Uniform Com¬ mittee. ELPHIE BABINEAUX comes to us from Lake Charles, Louisiana. She is ready to assist with plans for Sr. Stanislaus ' Feast Day and she also does her share in enter¬ taining the army. As an Athletic Club member in ' 42, she showed special interest in bowling. Famous for her alternating temperament, sense of humor, and terrific vi¬ tality, Elphie is something to graft on any family tree. We predict a happy future. GWENDOLYN BARTH, Jefferson Parish, Louisiana, and Lynwood, California, was another super-active Athletic Clubber. She was cheerleader in ' 41, ' 42 and ' 43. Gwen always participated in preparing for Sr. Stanislaus ' Feast Day. Her activities are patriotic in nature; if she ' s not at¬ tending or helping with a dance for the service men, she is writing letters to some of the many on her list. P. S. There ' s a special. Realistic and serious about life is MARGUERITE BRANTLEY. Between nursing, the Army, Navy, and Marine Corps, she has had a very busy and happy life here at dear ole Charity. When the going gets rough, she likes it all the better. She was an active member of the Glee Club in ' 41 and ' 42. New affiliates have enjoyed the fruits of her labors at their welcome parties.

RUTH MARGARET BRIGNAC hails irom Hester, Louisiana. Briggy is one girl who gets things done when they are supposed to be done. Even though she is a Sigma Alpha Chi, she is no book worm, just a naturally smart girl. The twinkle ot her blue eyes and her friendly smile have set many a heart aglow. When it comes to making people happy on their birthday, she knows all the tricks. With a smile full of subtle charm that exposes pearly teeth, LaVERNE CARTER will greet you at anytime, day or night. She was an interested and enthusiastic member of the Social Club in ' 41 and ' 42 and a regular bomb¬ shell on the E ntertainment Committee for the ' 41 Christmas Party. LaVerne is from Houston, Texas, and wears a diamond on THE finger from THE pilot. KATHRYN BOBBIE CLAYTON, Sigma Alpha Chi ' 43- ' 44, is the one person we know who never looks into an empty mailbox. She was an enthusiastic Athletic Club member. She also served as Social Club Vice-President, was kept busy as White Cap Circulating Manager, ' 42, and is our efficient Class Secretary. The girl with many friends, the one most special being a former University of Florida football star, comes from Orlando, Florida. Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and Benton Harbor, Michigan, sent us ROSALIE COSTANZA. A very efficient nurse, she sails breezily into work with energy and assurance. She was an active Athletic Club member in ' 42; she also rendered valuable service in preparing for the Christmas Party. Life for her is precise and conventional without losing its humorous touch. Neat and soft-spoken she ' s a very good sport who ' s not afraid to be herself. JEANNETTE DAVIS, the campus favorite, in her modest manner has made one of the best Student Body Presi¬ dents ever to hold office. She represented us in council in ' 42 and ' 43 and has maintained a Sigma Alpha Chi rating throughout her training. In ' 42 and ' 43 she chose membership in the Athletic Club. Navy, regretfully we are sending you one of our most efficient nurses. 1 24 |
