MATHILDE CARPY If II ER NAME, Mathilde, seems to suit her far il 11 better than the nick-name by which she is best known. As a little girl she insisted upon being called Johnny Whistle Breeches , and it is from this child- hood whim that her nick-name is derived. There is in Johnny something of the artist, a great deal of the penetrating scientist and, most of all, an abundance of warm-hearted sincerity. No one who has appeared before her at a Student Affairs Board meeting could doubt that her interest in the college is a whole-hearted one. She has taken her many re- sponsibilities seriously, but never has lost her teasing and subtle sense of humor. Her interests are by no means confined to school activities, for she enjoys nothing more than a week- end at her home in Saint Helena, where she can ride horseback to her heart ' s content. Not satisfied with merely attaining a college degree, she looks forward to entering the medical profession, where her quiet determination and consistent capability will stand her in good stead. 15

BETTY ANNE COLLINS ETTY is tall, and her long blond hair frames a finely intelligent face. In summer-time she has the most envied tan on campus. Friendly, sometimes vi- vacious, she is inclined toward seriousness. She rarely gets excited about anything, unless it is a telephone call she has missed, but she hates to be kept waiting. As a member of the Student Affairs Board, she has defended culprits and rationalized excuses for them, to the amusement, and sometimes despair, of her fel- low board members. On campus she is usually to be found in the clay room at Anne Hathaway or in the art room, dressed in the casual clothes, preferably cot- ton dresses, which she chooses with discriminating taste. Week-ends find her attending the theatre in San Francisco, her favorite off-campus pastime. On the first night of her Senior year she revealed her engagement in sorority house fashion, passing a five pound box of candy; on the wrapper of each piece her friends read the words Betty and Mike. 17
