J UNE FARSON June says that for her 'cthe going is the goal. This would seem to indicate that June is content to begin, on the contrary, it is in the fulfillment of her obligations as student-wife that she is outstanding. Her interests-including clarinet, sewing, choral sing- ing, ice skating and letter writing-are as extensive as the vast outdoors. While studying or teaching French dur- ing the Week, June may also be preparing for a weekend camping trip. She enjoys most of all the outdoors itself: walking along Muir Woods trails in the spring . . . sum- mer camping by the Big Sur . . . Stinson Beach in the winter . . . the Green Mountains of Vermont in the fall. June belongs Hjoggingn around a large country farm- house as well as or even more than gazing at an Andrew Wyeth painting, reading a Steinbeck novel, or listening to Baroque organ music. Her healthful complexion and constant cheerfulness tend to hide from associates her deep concern for present-day problems, especially world poverty, American complacency, and conservation of natural resources. Graduation means that gone from Dominican class- rooms are June's perceptive, quick comments on life and literature and her exuberance and discuss-ability. But for June graduation is ugoingl'-it is teaching, it is time for travel and leisure activities-and hopefully for the i970 Olympics. 45

PAULETTE FRAIRE Like a marionette, Paulette laughs with her whole body. When she enjoys something everyone around her can see this manifestation of her delight. Unusually romantic, Paulette dreams of living in Paris, being a great author, visiting Greece. She loves the moun- tains and the ocean, good music and friendly people, Yeats and Queen Elizabeth. Paulette is not just a light romantic, her favorite period in English literature is the Romantic period, full as it is of imagination, deep thoughts, love of nature, mystery, idealism, disregard of conventions, but touched with melancholy and sadness. She especially likes to quote Coleridge-4'To be beloved was all I need,! And whom I love I love indeed. But Paulette does not live in the dream world in which so many of the Romantic poets seemed to isolate them- selves. She lives in a real world, full of necessities and obligations. And her practical side can cope with this world. Notoriously well-organized, she accomplishes whatever she sets her mind to, whether sewing, studying, or enjoying a good movie or bridge game. She is a person whose practical side makes her work hard for what she wants, but also a person who never forgets her dreams. Her immediate goal is to attain her credential. After that perhaps she will turn to living in Paris, being a great author, visiting Greece. 47
