ROBIN SHIPLEY t Robin is a whirlwind. Small. Unpredictable. Quick. She likes movement. Living as fast as she can. She dashes oll to class and the cafeteria as if somewhere i11 her child- hood she had learned that to keep up with the bigger kids she would have to walk as fast as her feet could alternate. So she darts down paths with her coat U.l1lJLIlllO11Cd and her purse slung over one shoulder banging an almost steady beat. I Motion is life. To be free. To be able to step on the gas pedal with as much pressure as she pleases. On an open road. To lope through a wooded gully and a grassy meadow. A sturdy horse at her command. For Robin this is to live. Constantly changing. Her attention span is not long. She admits this candidly. When she shops she splurges. Gaily going from o11e little specialty store to another. Completely engrossed in what shels examining. For that moment. From a painting miniature to an avant-garde shift. A momentls intensity is the important thing. From this, her love of Michelangelo. Robin can be stubborn at times. When she tries to clarify her philosophy for someone who doesn't quite see her point of view, she seems authoritative. She races headlong into an explanation. Serious. Her brown eyes 011 fire. When she speaks, she's right. Her position under- stood, she softens. Moves on to other things. Different from those before. Newer. l27

SHERRY SILVA Sherry, the little girl from Ria,,, is composed of the same spirit that makes colors bright, that makes sun shine through rain, and that promises gold at the end of the rainbow. Life shows through her happy face and her optimism lightens the midnight conversation and the day-to-day endeavor. Comfortable with tradition and silent through change, Sherry spends her energies in making every moment live, making smiles seem the thing to do when all seems grim to others. She serves with the Warmth of sincerity, she listens with a sometimes too noble ear, and she enjoys working because she never forgets to laugh. A life char- acterized by a splash of exuberance and enthusiasm brought her to the forefront of friends and fun while at Dominican. There is not a committee or an operetta that has passed Sherry by in the last four years-and it is doubtful that there will be many in her future community that will not include her gay and generous spirit. Sherry can dream a dream, hope while others despair, love when it seems impossible. Idealistic and just a little old-fashioned, she makes every moment important to herself and those around her. Sherry is special because she is a whole parade by herself, a person who can shine her way through any day, unaware that sometimes the rain must fall. I29
