FREDDY BUEL Tall and lanky with a definite lope to her gait, Freddy is at once an easy and a demanding person to know. She embraces any new experience with enthusiasm, and laughs easilyg whispered conversations in the reference section of the library often erupt into hysteria, but Freddy's pok- erfaced expression will never belie the source. Freddy en- joys conversations that reveal and require a thorough reading of the daily paper. She is not impatient with ig- noranceg she just can't understand it. A very 'Lcampn life-style, but not just limited to the avant-gardeg her friends and interests are global. Travel seems the most natural supplement to her formal educa- tion, perhaps culminating with seminars on oriental art on the dark side ofthe moon. She has a wide and thorough correspondence, and even second-hand her knowledge of the worldis peculiarities has a definite Buel-inte1'preta- tion. Freddy has too much warmth fora blase sophisticate. A genuine respect for learning-all kinds-gives depth to her wide interests. She can chat with anyone about any- thing, for a while. And if the subject intrigues her, in a week sheill be prepared for a real conversation. Per- sonality history is F1'eddy's forte-she probably dreams of having Catherine the Great, Madame de Pompadour, and William F. Buckley over to dinner. 29

SN OOK BUXTON Snook's life is a satisfying balance between discontent and complacency. Add to this her belief that laughter is indeed athe best medicine and one soon finds that depres- sion rarely survives in an environment that includes Snook. Snook has the country girlis philosophy of early to bed, early to rise -this to the dismay of her roommate and bathmates who find her c'gentle voice an intrusion on their only morning to sleep in. But she hangs her head in genuine regret, says 'cl been bad, and almost at once is forgiven. Her plans often contain more madness than method but always result in pure fun. One such 'gmadv moment gave San Francisco another Miss Shamrock from Dominican. Although very much in the center of things she has a dif- ferent and candid perspective, she reacts with others like a squirt of carbonation. Snook's imagination and her re- ality are expressed in a splash of primary colors-basic, open, without guile or deception and consistently bright and optimistic. Her tall, loose frame speaks of the relaxed, comfortable attitude that draws people to her. This pied piper's charm is her spontaneity. With seemingly little effort she makes her presence known and enjoyed, for she is as unique as her name. Wherever Snook is, her mood is felt, and wherever she has been, she will be remembered. 3l
