LIZ RYAN By your own soul, learn to live, Though men thwart you, have no care, Though men hate you, have no fear, Hope your hope, dream your dream, Sing your song. Bob Dylan Liz lives by her own soul with confidence and inde- pendence. The giant and solitary redwoods of North- western California, Lizis home, have left their mark upon her character. A sensitive person herself, she understands and demands much of the people in her life. Her own per- sonal honesty and simplicity become her requirement of others. Loving the unique and out-of-the-way, she treasures the town of Solvang, the anthology of Mother Goose, and her collection of single lines of poetry or the choicest literary images. Always a connoisseur, Liz chooses fine china, a new dress, a book, with the same caution and deliberation with which she would choose a friend. 'Tm not a joiner is her description of herself, for Liz refuses to participate in the frivolous or the artificial. Instead she values the real people in her life: her family, her fiance, and her close friends. Like Alice in Wonderland, Liz is candid, perceptive, and genuine. Many will not experience her uniqueness for they will not have taken the time to read between the lines. I2I

MARIE ST. MARTIN Marie is a straight-faced surprise to all who meet her. Her jokes can keep her friends in hystcrics while her own face remains completely deadpan-moving not a muscle. Marie can lie an audience as well as a performer. She loves to meet new people and lie around old friends and prefers socializing to studying any day. lVlarie's wit is not the only key to her personality. Everyliody's character is a collage of different elements, but few persons can claim such a wide cross-section of interests as she. To look at her you think petite . . . or feminine. But the same girl who loves to try out new make-up, curl her hair in ringlets, or polish her nails, is also at home at the steering wheel of a half-ton truck. Neither rain, nor snow, nor sleet keeps Marie from her part-time job as a postal truck driver. If you're observant, you may catch sight of her battling the Fourth Street traflic some late afternoon. Then there is the Marie who canit let go of her attach- ment tothe Beatles. She is as avid a fan today as she was five years ago and her taste has moved right along with theirs. Marie is like psychedelia in a way: for out of the wild, colorful, and crazy design comes a message that only a Marie St. Martin personality can express. I23
