YVONNE DOROTHEA ROSSI YVONNE has diverse interests and talents. The school knows her as a good athlete, and was proud of her leadership as President of the W. A. A. Only a few of her friends realize that she plays the piano beautifully, for although once compelled to perform at a Music Club, she prefers music for her private delight. She is a dashing person, tall and commanding in appearance, yet gracious in her manner. She always seems to ha ve time for a chat in the Grove or an after- noon jaunt downtown in her shining car. She man- ages a good balance of amusement and serious study, even while she assures us that she has so much to do she can never get it done. Week-ends find her en- joying the pleasures of San Francisco, or at Asti, her country home, where she often entertains her friends. 53

PATRICIA ROTCHFORD SHE is sharply cut, but not angular, and her dark- lashed eyes look out keenly from under a broad brow, framed by crisp, curly hair. She doesn ' t miss a thing, and her hearing is as delicately keen as her sight; she plays the violin beautifully and the piano too. Her philosophy of l ife is admittedly to put off until tomorrow what she can do today, but apparently this doesn ' t hold when it comes to practice. One likes to think of her slender, poised figure as she plays in- tensely in the school orchestra. She is high-strung; indeed, she seems taut as a vio- lin string. She enjoys bridge more than most of her college duties, and she waits impatiently for the mail when the lucky first two or three crowd around the little table in the Fanjeaux living-room. She reads her letters with utter concentration, but after she has read them she becomes sociable again. 55
