But to obtain a fairly accurate like' ness of her, we suggest this procedure: Pin the canvas down securely with the thumbtacks of Nina's steadfastness and loyalty. Outline the sketch with her loveliness and grace, and shade it with her vvistfulness. Add a touch of color with the flights of imagination in which she loves to soar, and give the picture its highflights with the smile that plays about her lips. And then you will have scme conception of Nina-Whose love of beautiful things is almost a religion with her, Whose intricate character defies analysis, and in whom we can discern, as Joseph Conrad discerned in Dona Rita, something of the women of all time. a certain immortality. Nina's home will be a gracious and restful place, agleam with polished mahogany and old silver, glowing with firelight. And there, with her books and her pictures, her music and her loved ones, she will find peace and contentment. Sixtyffive

Adrienne, slim, fair and lovely, moves among us, spreading the bright music of laughter. Adrienne is most becomingly a history major. How beautifully she could take the part of a win' some lady of crinoline days! No more perfectly, however, than she is the charming, enthusiastic companion of today. We do not doubt that the dramatic possibilities of her chosen subject have occurred to her for she is often scen carrying about such a book as Belloc's Marie Antoinette or Robespierre. There is in Aden a talent for drawing, born of leisure and a mind carefree and happy. In moments of dull routine her comic muse brightens up one's horizon with a clever caricature. Her aesthetic muse, more widely appreciated, is indispensable to school activities. Place cards and posters adorned with the bevvitching senoritas and romantic knightsferrant of her pen tempt even the unimaginative to build castles in Spain. A glance into the future reveals Adrienne famous as an illustrator of the stories of leading magaf zines, and still concentrating her interest upon Spanish settings and designs. Sixtyffour

Although not yet president of the Batavia Chamber of Commerce, she is, nevertheless, an ardent and constant booster of the merits of her beloved home city. Elizabetlfs major subject is history and not bridge, popular opinion to the contrary notwithf standing. Fittingly enough her ambition is political reform. The corruption in high places fills her with foreboding, as the members of her Oral Expression class know. But, seriously speaking, Elizabeth has a delightful sense of humor of that rare kind which enables her to appreciate a joke on herself as Well as on someone else. This gift, coupled with her capacity for intensive study makes her a representative member of the Class of '3O. We have little difficulty in imagining Elizabeth, some few years hence, gaining fame for herself and for D'Youville as a prominent member of the school board of Batavia. Sixtyfsix
