MIRIAM ANNE DETERT TALL and blonde, Miriam is almost Nordic in appearance. Her uncluttered look suggests the laboratory in which she spends most of her time. She listens more than she speaks, rather because she is shy than from nothing to say. Her friends claim she has a subtle sense of humor, although she herself says she has none. Bridge-playing is her forte, and the pastime she most enjoys. She also knits well, likes to swim, and has taken part in most school sports. A firm believer in haste makes waste , she doesn ' t really procrasti- nate; she is merely deliberate. She is seldom out- wardly disturbed; only a few things bother her, noisy roommates among them. Reserved but not taciturn, she is a person one would like to know better. 21

MARY JEANETTE DIDION HEN Mary smiles her eyes smile too, and even the glints in her lovely long hair seem to dance with pleasure. She is an essentially happy person, with a gift for being sincerely friendly in her own quiet way. Her Benincasa housemates will always remember her readiness to make hot chocolate on cold nights, and the real pleasure she seemed to take in doing the dishes afterwards. She loves to engage in long philosophical argu- ments, preferably over a companionable hot fudge sundae or, better still, two hot fudge sundaes; to the amazement of her friends, she never gains an ounce. Mary has a streak of originality which, in cold wea- ther, expresses itself in the wearing of brightly colored ear-muffs; the result has been not only pretty but also practical. 23
