DIANE GATES Of very small bone structure, standing five feet tall, and weighing eighty-two pounds, Diane has the perfect appearance of a little girl. With her short brown hair and small freckled face, she could easily be mistaken for a living character 'from a child's storybook. Yet, despite the childlike appearance, Diane isa thoughtful little lady. Among her special hopes is to combine her sociology major with her nervous energy, and apply these to a nurs- ing career. Whenever Diane goes bouncing without warning into a friend's room, she is welcomed. Her excited and rapid speech can turn any conversation into humorous delight. The topic is unpredictable, ranging anywhere from skiing to tennis to El Greco. However carefree she often appears, Diane is a very conscientious student. Her free hours a1'e usually spent in the library rigidly following an organized hourly schedule of do,s. A Friday night movie is watched only when her schedule permits. To her friends Diane guarantees frankness. Often with- out thought she will abruptly state her opinion concerning oue's mores. But if she sees she has made a misjudgment, Diane is the first to laugh. This ability to laugh at her own mistakes, coupled with her uncontained delight over a long-sought accomplislnnent, is what makes Diane re- freshing. 49

ANGIE GHIRARDELLI Angie is not the ordinary rose-cheeked Italian farmer's daughter. Farm chores and tomato picking may be an important part of her home life, hut Angie's thoughts often stray from such practicalities. She is a dreamer, as her hazel eyes occasionally confirm. But rather than risk failure or disappointment, Angie keeps her dreams to her- self, preferring to follow the ideas of others. Angie admits that she lacks confidence. When faced with a choice, she is indecisive, hut once arriving at her decision, she adheres to the final judgment, and proves to friends that she can cope with any situation. And out of Angie's secret thoughts come very positive opinions, ex- pressed concisely and frankly when necessary. She nor- mally shuns controversial discussions, or averts them with each to his ownf, It is very seldom that Angie's thoughtfulness pushes her to the point of moodiness. Deep understanding and cheerfulness more often pervade her character. She al- ways reserves time to share a card game or an Italian dinner with friends. Her unselfishness makes 'incl' a dif- Hcult word to utter. Angie is famous for her ever-present smile and bright eyes, which sparkle all the more when someone asks her a favorite question: Does your family own Ghirardelli Square? 'lNo, she responds. We own Ghirardelli Triangle. 5l
