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

PHYLLIS GEARY HER figure is willowy, her face delicate and finely cut; her hair is golden, and her eyes are spar- kling gray. She has a gift for conversation, her topics ranging from the personal interests of her com- panions to current affairs, on which she is always well- informed. As President of the L R. C. in her Senior year she used this gift well, as she listened carefully to all the opinions expressed, but never wavered in her own. She guides a discussion skillfully. Phyllis loves to travel and has already seen much of her native country. On a smaller scale, she is always eager for a trip downtown. Her objective in these jaunts is usually a cup of coffee, for which she has a remarkable capacity. 29
