ELLEN MINTZ There is an expression which says that the harder something is to attain, the more worthwhile its final attainment is. In a way, Ellen's friendship falls in this category. She is a hard person to know, and even after four years too few people have seen beyond her mini- skirts and sometimes child-like outbursts. But those who have opened the door to her personality have been charmed and impressed, although they have also at times been perplexed. Ellen is intelligent . . . and informed. She reads the newspaper over an English assignment with few regrets, and one of her pet peeves is people who don,t know what's going on in the world. Ellen's room wears her character. Sister Corita seriographs hang on the walls, characters from Winnie the Pooh occupy the beds in the form of hand-made stuffed animals, and the bookshelves betray a love of American history and literature. Her interests are contagious. One cannot be around her for long without reading an F. Scott Fitzgerald novel. She would defend the author to his mother, the American public, and even Sister Martin. When Ellen is happy, the whole world can relax. When something is wrong-beware. Arguing with her is a chal- lengeg she is positive and can back up opinion with fact. Ellen is not everybody's friend. She is perceptive and sees deeply into a person, perhaps too deeply. But when you have won her friendship, you can start to enjoy her world. 97
