ODETTE CADART-LOOMIS ODETTE is distinctly a personality. Her native intelligence and her character have been deep- ened and strengthened by her rich experience and by the sufferings she has endtired. She lived in Paris during the German occupation and took an active part in aiding her countrymen at the risk of her mother ' s captivity and her own life. She has given much to the campus of her own per- sonal charm and of her power as a student-teacher. As a student, her work is bewilderingly successful. She says of herself that her philosophy is do as I please and yet she is a remarkably well-disciplined person. There is nothing passive about her; she is positive in her likes and dislikes. She wears Parisian fashions with a flair, and her favorite colors are deep reds and blues. Concerts, the opera, and travelling satisfy her desire for the rhythm of existence. Stupid people and disorder annoy her. She is amused by American jokes, and her own sense of humor has many twists to it. She is as sparkling as the province of Champagne from which she comes. 35

MARGUERITE LUSSIER kARK, wavy hair, vivid green eyes, an erect car- riage, and a walk which leaves no realization o£ movement— that is one ' s first impression of Margue- rite. Life with her is never monotonous, her moods so vary; she changes from storm to sunshine in a mo- ment. We are sure that custom will not stale her infinite variety . She is intense about everything in which she is interested. She draws and weaves and paints, and writes verse sparked with her own tem- pestuous personality. In our dramatic productions she has won distinction, and she crowned our first Poetry Festival with her beautiful reading. Recently she introduced her fiance to the campus. Like most Californians, she swims and rides, but her favorite sport is tennis. She likes to read; she loves parties. In olden days she would have been the belle of five counties. 37
