RENEE MENDEZ RENEE first became famous as Inez Escapada in the nineteen forty-five Sfiield Day play, Murder in a Nunnery. We still can hear her say, It was such a preety little bomb and Who you think put the knife in the old lady? It was Inez who led the ma- rauding children down the drain. In reply to the question Does she actually lead people into mischief? someone remarked, Well, I don ' t think she would be far behind. It is this sug- gestion of mischief about her that makes her so at- tractive. Her mobile face and flashing eyes are ex- pressive of her personality; she loves to tease. She likes to talk and people like to talk to her. She is easily amused and the source of much amusement to others. She has a more serious side too; few, if any, of us ever will forget her sincere and beautiful solo in the Mysteries of the Rosary. An active participant in numerous school activities, it is small wonder that she has been knitting on the same sweater for two years. 43

MARILYN MARIE MYERS BECAUSE of her curly copper colored hair, Mari- lyn is almost always called Rusty . Unlike most people of her coloring, she can wear various shades of pink and purple; perhaps this is significant of her unusual personality. She has a rare sweetness and a piquant charm which reflects itself in her writing. She can see in a scene or a situation the subtly humor- ous points that most people miss, but delight in find- ing. The right word always seems to come to her; she can make light and sparkling what most of us make heavy. Her disposition is generous. One sees this in her school spirit, in the kindness with which she gives her time and talents. She is always willing to type, to con- tribute articles to Meadowlark and Firebrand, and to rewrite them at the whims of editors. Her famous car, the President with its four horns, pleases her most because she can use it for others. She is a good driver and swims as well as she drives. She loves beauty and hates dullness. Very dear to her is the charm of Marin County, especially San Anselmo. She finds it hard to reconcile herself to the changes which she fears will dull and deaden its poetic, if unpractical, loveliness. 45
