MARILYN TERESA SLAKEY , ARILYN has been described as just the right I height, slender, attractive, and well-groomed. Her eyes are ever changing from green to blue. In clothes her preference is for suits and, while her fa- vorite color is red, she wears all colors well. Quietly efficient, and thoughtful of others, she has made a fine Senior Class President. She makes friends easily and enjoys meeting new people, although she is usually a trifle reserved with strangers at first. Her musical talent encompasses not only playing, which she does beautifully, and graciously when asked, but also keen and intellectual listening. Any attempt to jazz her beloved classical music is the one thing sure to arouse her anger. Marilyn is a well-bal- anced person. She reflects the happy family life of her home in Sacramento. Her favorite possession is Pandemonium, a pet panda given to her by her five brothers. 59

HELEN SAYRA SWEENEY USY being busy, that is Helen. She does next week ' s assignments before they have been assigned and then wonders what to do next. One can ' t miss Helen, even when she is tearing her fastest: she wears bright plaid skirts and gay sweaters to match her cheerful Irish personality. Burning with activity, she knows everything that goes on and usually her information is the I was there variety. She loves Republicanism with a zeal, and has new hope for the country now that the admin- istration has changed. Her love for her school is as boundless as her energy; she headed the hockey team last fall, and has played on her class basketball team since she was a freshman. An art major, she seems to love art for art ' s sake; she takes special interest in doing wood blocks and splatter prints, as well as put- ting oils on canvas. For diversion, she visits art mu- seums and hovers about any work which specially captivates her. She likes such movies as Sister Kenny and Blue Skies; gangsters and fast play have no appeal. She is cool about mishaps, excited over pleasures, and calm in distress. She is pleasant to everyone: friends and acquaintances, bus driver and milk man. 61
