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

LINDEN HAVEN One of the most meaningful lines of poetry to Linden describes something about herself: uThe woods are love- ly, dark, and deep. But l have promises to keep. And miles to go before I sleep. And miles to go before I sleep. A talk, walk, or ride with Linden often leaves one with the feeling of gliding through a relaxing, almost melan- choly atmospbere. With such grace and quiet humility, Linden sometimes keeps from others the riches of her sense of history and her cosmopolitan background-- Europe, Greece, the Near and Far East. Happiness for her appears to be simple: horseback riding, a walk in Forest Meadows, volunteer Work, or the Symphony. It is levis and shifts, which is hard to understand after seeing her in the elegance of an au, duo, the national dress of Viet Nam. Happiness can be limited to a single Dr. Dill class, warmth, peanut butter, and bookstores. ' Happiness for Linden also involves travel and ambi- tion. She plans a trip home to the Philippines after grad- uation before settling down in San Francisco. But set- tling down will probably be only for a while because Linden has an international spirit. She sees the world as needing peace through understanding. To try to do something to fulfill our class motto-this is the promise Linden has to keep . . . although there maybe miles to go in order to keep it. 59
