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

EVA TAVERNA EVA is most at home in riding clothes, and happiest when riding her two thoroughbreds, Wikid Storm and Tank Corps. She wins blue ribbons consistently, and usually places first for jumping in horse shows. An easy person to know and talk to, she never seems to lose her temper, unless it is when some unfortunate person opines that horses are not intelligent; nothing is so certain to incur her wrath. A sociable person and always appreciative of a good joke, at which she laughs heartily, she is nevertheless impatient at any noise when she is trying to concen- trate. An excellent pianist, she has been during the past year an enthusiastic and capable President of the Music Club. She has found her practice teaching in- teresting and enjoyable. Apparently she has as much skill in managing children as horses. 63
