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

KAYE BRYANS The gracefulness of a newborn colt is caught in a slen- der form that stumbles and laughs-delighted that she's still a little girl, in jumper and knee-sox. A vulnerability, revealed in soft eyes caught unaware, attests to an open and romantic spirit, ,captivated by love-in theory or reality. When the occasion or her mood warrants, Kaye ap- pears elegant and stunning, attracting stares which she appreciates and dismisses. Pleased by an atmosphere which compliments her femininity, she responds with de- light to the manner of an older gentleman, or to a gather- ing of her parents' friends. Her aura of sophistication, however, is likely to be dispelled by a most incongruous faux pas, made acceptable by the charm of a deep blush. Never pretending to be perfect, Kaye tells the story later with convulsed laughter and the admission that only I could do it. 97 Bursting with pride at the mention of Wyoming, Kaye retains a flavor of the West in her natural and adventure- some spirit. Sensitive to her surroundings, she appreci- ates a lush Marin spring as well as the starkness of a Wy- oming Winter. This same awareness, combined with an easy creativity and taste for the unusual, is marked in her room, her appearance, and her ability to notice in others features which are not detected visually. Kaye unknowing bypasses the superficial in an awareness of essence which enables her to communicate graciously and sincerely. 27
