MARGARET CUNHA lVla1'garet is not the typical college student, in dress, manner, or ambition. She is not the type to be part of a loud, boisterous crowd. She is friendly in her quiet way, but prefers a few deep friendships to several casual ac- quaintances. But lVlargaret,s life at Dominican has not been a nega- tive one, merely absorbing knowledge and giving nothing in return. Rather, she has enriched campus life with the charm of her Portuguese heritage. Her Portuguese sweet bread will not soon be forgotten by anyone lucky enough to have tasted it! lVlargaret chose marriage the summer before her senior year, a marriage which tends, as she does, towards the unusual, for she did not marry an American hut a Euro- pean-a man from Portugal. Perhaps it is her Portuguese nature which makes Nlargaret seem so tranquil and con- tent: her quiet maturity giving a sense of old worldn peace and order. In a time when hard-rock music is popu- lar, her favorite songs are the Portuguese'Fado-tragic, songs of life and love. If Nlargaret could live anywhere, she would choose a place of places-isolated, quiet, yet full of life. And to those who have taken the time to seek her out, this is Mar- garet herself-a person among persons, isolated, quiet. yet very full of life. 4I

KITTY DESCALSO Kitty admits everyone into her life, expecting nothing in return but their acceptance of her as she is. Her per- sonality is pervaded by an unfailing sense of humor and quick wit which are as spontaneous and uncontrived as her actions. Without a trace of affectedness, she man- ages to combine the simplicity of the country with the complexity of a cosmopolitan adventurer. Kitty describes an exciting European adventure fwhich will invariably have taken place in Italyj as easily and nonchalantly as if it were her latest hike under the Golden Cate Bridge at dusk to catch a certain fleeting perspective in a photo- graph. There is time for everything in Kittyis life. Intermin- able hours spent over a microscope almost seem to supply her with energy for the remainder of her day, whether it be spent developing pictures, preparing her favorite ven- ison delicacy, or studying for an inevitable short quiz. Kitty is a doe1'. Her alacrity in undertaking almost any project is contagious and draws a vast circle of friends as incongruous as ber talents, refiecting her love of people and inherent need for them. Yet, Kitty con- stantly maintains a certain reserve beyond which even her closest friends cannot trespass. Within this reserve and guarded from transg,ression by her ready wit, lays a facet of Kitty yet to be discovered. 43
