PEGGY DELORIMIER Painslakingly littering her life with lists and schedules, Peggy's lists are usually lost and her schedules are rare- ly kept. But somehow things do get done. She sincerely seeks simple solutions for complex problems, but is nev- ertheless able to adjust when she finds that reality offers none. Organizing herself usually presents a problem for Peggy. On the night before a test, she can be found in a smokeroom with her glasses slung low on her nose, books and papers strewn around her, and an agonized expres- sion on her face. More gregarious than scholarly, she thrives on activity-she is rarely alone. Her generous and companionable nature fills her time with weekend trips, dinners with friends, or just bridge and conversation be- tween classes. Peggy's charm and attractiveness make her an asset to any group. Always well-groomed, she gives attention to each detail whether on her own outfit or when helping another. Peggy's life seems to consist of multiple traumatic situations. Each is the worst at the time, yet in retrospect she is able to view them objectively. She learns from experience. As one of a large family, Peggy gained the ability to direct large groups of people with confidence. Whether' commentating a fashion show or planning the 4'Look- Alike contest for Dad-Daughter night, Peggy is always at ease. She will run her home or hoped-for kindergarten with graciousness. Self-assured and mildly sophisticated, Peggy communicates warmth. 8l

LAURIE LYNCH Laurie's life falls into place-not somehow, but by sheer dint of effort. Hence the well-deserved sense of sat- isfaction as deadlines are met. Half-classicist, half-ro- mantic, Laurie marshals her imaginative impulses, cuts out purple passages and aims at communication. She has managed to produce the Carillon and Firebrand with imagination and individuality, hut without loss of tra- dition. A journalist must be realistic, noticing the facts, and not the frills. Laurie usually complies with this image, but cannot help straying into a dream world every so often. Although ordered, her life is not without its undisci- plined areas-Sunday picnics, zoos, children's litera- ture, and shopping trips are pleasures that reveal much. Laurie's affinity for antiques is romantic, her taste in clothes classic. Villagered and Lanzed from head to toe, she is contemporary yet far from faddish. Laurie is charmingly refreshing-some say naive. She expects to have honesty met with honesty, truth with truth. A credulous Oh really is her response to the most fan- tastic statement. Realizing that she has been deceived her face pinks a shade Father Blank would relish. On the whole a conciliatory person, she is the means hetween abrasive extremes. Reluctant to be involved in arguments, her anger is vented on people and subjects safely removed. Neither Brother Antoninus nor William Wordsworth will ever know what a formidable foe they have. Laurie aims at the via media, she deserves the hap- piness that lies in an o1'dered life. V 83
