MARY LOU BORDONI Observant and sensitive, there is very little about peo- ple and the world that escapes Mary Lou's explorative vision. However, it should be noted that her sense of ob- servation fails her when it involves catching a joke on herself I A good sport, she does not hesitate to tell people that she is often tormented hy had horrible friends. She is quick to forgive, but she forgets little: an asset or a fault, it would be hard to say which. Moved by ideals, her actions are grounded in hard cold reality, they derive from a practical mind which gives a deliberate and precise bent to everything she does, whether it be making the best orange juice that Caleruega has ever served, devouring her Washington Post on a quiet Friday afternoon, or buying one more pair of Huncol- legiaten brown shoes-for next year Hwhen l'm working in the world. Mary Lou's character is shown in her writing-pre- cise . . . carefully thought out . . . perceptive . . . but a style all her own. There is just enough disregard for the definition of a sentence f Mary Lou doesn't always believe in a complete thought with subject and predicatej, to show her rather subtle break with convention. Mary Lou will argue for hours that she is not different, that she does not demand great things from life. But those who know her well disagree. She will never be flamboyantly differ- ent, but neither is she the type to marry the 'Choy next door. In her quiet manner, Mary Lou will find an Hun- ordinary niche in life. Or maybe it will find her. 23
