KATHY GNEKOW Efliciently impractical, Kathy so orders her life that she has freedom to follow her whims. Time is never wasted but is spent enjoying the absurd, browsing the unknown or delighting in the familiar. Content in museums and libraries, Kathy appreciates and quietly collects her im- pressions carefully. Later, her conversation is far from quiet as she shares her experience. Meticulous by nature, her surroundings radiate precise attention to detail. Although she lives among three of the more casualigirls on campus, Kathy's drawer, or Kathy's shelf are easily identified. Her daily ablutions are almost a ritual, for she can easily spend an hour applying creams, cleansers and make-up-all to preserve the 4'natural look. The style of Andrew Wyeth, her favorite artist, typifies Kathy's appreciation of the exact, the subtle, and the real. Many of Wyeth's admirers observe intuitive qualities in his art. Kathy herself possesses a certain intuitiong she is perceptive, understanding those around her better than they do themselves. She is able to filter the real from the unreal and enjoy both. Typical of this is her passion for the music and life-style of Bob Dylan: she sees the critical realism of his lyrics while she is amused with his fantas- tical manner. Irish through and through, Kathy's gentility is occa- '53 sionally punctuated by an lt makes me sooo mad. when she is confronted with absurd restriction. 55

SUE GROSS Sue is 'fsugar and spice and everything nice. People may first be attracted to her fresh, feminine appearance, but they will become her friends because of what lies underneath. Her poised and reserved manner is some- times mistaken for shyness hut, actually, Sue is eager to he involved. Part of her everyday religion is concern for the feelings of others. This, along with her ucalm, cool, and collected nature gives her a head start in the nursing profession she has chosen to follow. Sue is not all serious involvement, there is also the part which wants others to enjoy themselves. She works at fun-co-chairing the dance decorations committee . . . managing special events . . . playing tennis or skiing. Sue doesn't let little things stand in the way of a good time. Hampered by a broken ankle for the junior prom, she made herself part of the dance theme-colorfully painting uAnything Goes on her cast. The fourth 'child in a family of ten, Sue is naturally at home with a large group of people. Whether' talking to children or adults, she loves to use her imagination to convince her listeners of her interest in the unusual. Her persuasiveness is dramatized by her unflinching facial expressions, and the only sign of discomposure might he a smile, which, if translated, would tell Sueis audience that life should be enjoyed for some moments of make- lielieve amid the many hours of reality. 57
