STEPHANIE PARENTI Long walks, people who love, laughter and little broth- ers-these are the things that appeal to Steph. She is a person who is nearly impossible to describe because too many good things sound trite and contrived and bad things just do not apply. A combination of the Tliinker and the Listener, she is always willing to attend to someo11e else's problem, though she keeps her own inside. Her nature is seasoned with a dash of the romantic and an impulsiveness that leads her to splurge on new clothes or talk someone else into splurging. San Francisco is her favorite city and her home, and Union Street is her favorite part of it. Eyelet dusters, cafe au lait, cameos and ice CICLIIIIQ her favorite things rellect her personality-a little paradoxical and always intriguing. Responsibility does not scare Stephg she has proved her capabilities as a leader. 'Yet she is a quiet rather than charisniatic leader, disliking controversy and debate over what is to be done, upset if her actions do not wi11 approv- al. And although she has often been placed in the lime- light, she is much happier doing a quiet good job behind the scenes. Steph could never be a politician. She sees too much good in people and is too kind herself to ever hurt others. Perhaps that is why those who know her ap- preciate her for what she is-a loveable, loving person. Il5

MIKIE PEACOCK Mikie is a girl who forges ahead to the new. She does not wait to see what lies around the next corner-she runs to meet it head-on and enjoys it, every bit of it. She knows how to make the most of the moment, how to enjoy being with a crowd, how to enjoy being alone. Mikie is activity: rainy days don't mean depression, but long walks, the beach is not for passive sunbathing, but for running along the shoreg trees are not just for appreciative gazing, but for climbing. Mikie lives in the world of hard rock and folk music, splashy colors, and Rod McKucn. Traditional skirts, sweaters and knee socks do not belong in her ward- robe. Mikie is much more at home in levis and mini-skirts. And her rough loomed poncho is a familiar sight on cam- pus. Here special idiosyncrasy is rings-her hands usual- ly display several. Mikie's love of Edgehill shows the 'Gbeing alone part of her nature. She is at home in her chaotic room, with all her stuffed animals, who are often joined by the Edgehill cat. And too, she is at home in the old-fashioned living room, watching TV, and working on some new handicraft. Life for Mikie is not to be organized, planned out for every moment. It is to be full of surprises. No matter if surprises mean confusion. Mikie's confusion is the type to be penetrated, explored and enjoyed. II7
