SUSIE CLIFFORD Completely feminine with unabashed f1'iendliness, Susie is sure to charm any female and fascinate any man. Children are openly attracted to her and she returns the affection with a delight reserved for things frank and beautiful, of nature and man. Susie,s judgment, though, very often leads her astray. She nourishes a special type of innocence that immedi- ately believes whatever it hears. Sunday-night stories are told with wide eyes to delighted friends - the stories slightly exaggerated, because her perception registers events in capital letters. Her ability to make each individ- ual feel himself the center of her attention wins her many an admirer. But her lack of ability to say uno backs her into situations which end in near-disaster. Susie is extreme-for better or worse. Her little girl charm inspires affection in her friends, because whoever is around her inevitably finds his spirits lifted. After she goes, however, a simmering count to ten may begin when it is discovered that so also went one's best sweater, last pair of nylons, or most vital cosmetic. Seemingly unaware of this extreme test of friendship, Susie later bounces in and goes unreprimanded, her own generosity being the saving grace. Susie extends an unquestioned love, whose whys and whcrefores exist only within her unstructured mind, inexplicable possibly even to herself. 33

CHRIS COLLINS Chris is too good natured to hold a grudge. When her Irish temper Hairs, her anger vanishes quickly. Whether keeping books for the student body or keep- ing her room clean, Chris is an organized, tidy person. Her lists are notorious. She likes to see things in their place and has definite opinions as to where those places are. Be it politics or ballet Chris has her own, strong ideas about it. She is inquisitive and willing to pursue her in- terests. A native San Franciscan, she is proud of her city and has become a bit of an authority on the San Fran- cisco of yesterday-its houses and its people. Union Street antique shops are an ideal place to spend a Satur- day afternoon. Practically bent, Chris reasons out problems for her- self and others. While other seniors are caught in the dilemma of what am I going to dof' Chris has known for years-she wa11ts to attend Cal's library school. She seldom states an opinion without reasons to hack it up and is always fair in her decisions. Chris is jolly-ready to laugh anywhere at anytime. She enjoys and radiates lifeg those around her, those who know her are caught up in her happiness. 35
