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

CAROL BRUNS If a photographer wanted a good action', picture of Carol, he'd catch her bouncing down Guzmanis hall with one hand in her pocket, the other clutching her books, her blue eyes sparkling, and her face flushed. Blushing is her most outstanding physical characteristic. But, as Father Blank says, it's fun to tease someone who can laugh about it, and Carol has always been one of his chief targets. Her dry humor and good nature act as a magnet which attracts friends from every group in her class. There is never a party to which Carol is not invited. She gives not only her presenceg she works hard at contributing fun. In real-life situations, however, she is more apt to make game of earnestg in a crisis, she adds laughter and comic relief. Carol has an artist's eye for the beautiful. An amateur photographer, she is often seen stalking uthe essencev of the campus and snapping scenes typical and out-of-the way. The carefree side of her artistic nature is reflected in her attitude towards appointments or deadlines-cow stantly, she is apologizing for -not being in the right place at the right time. Somewhere Carol has a hidden source of self-discipline which enabled her to juggle 19 units and a correspondence course during her last semester. There is too a touch of the perfectionist. She is perhaps the only person i11 the history of Ethics who stops taking notes when Father Blank shifts into high gear-a messy page would to Carol he anathema. 25
