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

MATILDA McCULLOUGH A yfl ATILDA ' S name seems incongruous, for there 1 V llis nothing Matilda-ish about her. She is Tillie to most of her friends, and there is a legend that she once blushed when asked if her name was really Matilda . Tall and slender, she has a fair, well- scrubbed look. She has a charming smile, but her really distinctive feature is her widow ' s peak, darkly pointed against a very white brow. Her room does not seem an index to her. It is aus- terely bare; she has the alloted college furnishings and no more. The only note of color is made by the row of books across her desk. The books include Spanish texts and Spanish novels, history texts and historical novels. She likes history because she is in- terested in people, Spanish perhaps because she has in her a strain of Basque. Her memory serves her not only in her history classes, but it helps to make smooth her social paths, for she has the royal gift of always remembering names and faces. Quite natu- rally she is well-liked; freshmen and sophomores are as attached to her as are the juniors and seniors. 39
