MARY HELEN FOLGER BUT IT ' S basic, deah! This phrase is Mary ' s theme, and it always means that an endless reper- toire of stories and mimicries is about to provide en- tertainment for the evening. Her wit and her talent for conversation make her the center of every social gathering at Edge Hill, where she lives because it is her favorite campus building. Mary will talk on everything at these gatherings, from the latest con- certs to the evils of riding the Greyhounds. Her loud plaid bathrobe, a prized possession, in addition to her gaiety, gives brightness and color to the smoking room. Mary ' s appearance is that of the typical college girl of fashion magazines, and the majority of her clothes are on the casual side. Her favorite color, blue, matches her large eyes. Her coiffures vary like her moods. Just when we had accustomed ourselves to her perfectly straight locks, she appeared with a trans- forming fluff, yet in her appearance she is still the typical college girl. Sincere in all she does, Mary feels deeply, and without being pious, is truly religious. 25

FRANCESCA GARIBALDI FRANCES ' S full activities did not begin in her freshman year, although she scored a success in the Shield Day play as nurse to the princess who was doomed to be eaten by a dragon. Her first tremendous enthusiasm was over the giant radish she grew in her third term botany garden; she sent it special delivery to her father, who recommended that she major in farming instead of art. Nevertheless she did major in art, and now she paints prize pictures instead of growing prize radishes. Her four college years have been full of ups and downs, but her large blue eyes survey everything and everyone with the same calm penetration that ap- parently gives her power in portrait painting and in any dramatic role she carries; she has had leading parts in most of the school dramas. It is characteristic of her that she has done her best work in her last years. She is given to coming late, but works hard once she has arrived. 27
