ANNE MACDONALD Anneis gentle appearance and calm manner belie her exuberant warmth and spontaneity. Unobtrusively, she watches others dash by. Shyness is only skin-deep thoughg in conversation Anne bubbles with delight over all things alive. Literature and music are her pleasures for Anne values the essence and feeling of things? She relaxes while pouring over Browning with the musical poetry of Rod lVlcKuen in the background. Her passion for the senti- mental ballads of lVlcKuen, however, is in no way her sole mental therapy. Regularly she receives one dozen red roses-a morale booster much envied in Pennafortl Happiest wherever there are good friends, Anne shares her exuberant and imperturbable nature. Always willing to start a song or, better yet, physical exercises at mid- night, she is definitely impulsive. She is eager to go bare- foot at any opportunity. Anne plans her future home around big friendly dogs and little childreng she delights in quantities of both. Compassionate and warm, she is genuinely able to share the highs and lows experienced by others. 'GPeople- watch- ingi' has taught her much. Believing with Bacon that It is a true and miserable solitude to want true friends without which the world is but a wilderness, Anne thrives on her relationships with those she loves. Her world will never be a wilderness. 85

ROZY MCGRATH Rozyas world is make-believe. twisted by reality and captured in art. She is touched by the World of practi- cality and the world of Winnie the Pooh, and balances the two with a unique and refreshing sensitivity. Peace and exuberance are a part of every experience that comes from Rozy's world. Rozy, caught between the mutability of life and the changelessness, is trying desperately to grasp the essence of each and, at the same time, to be able to explain the difference between them and understand the world God made this way. For every feeling Rozy has there is an opposite which becomes a part of the same wholeg both joy and sadness permeate her understanding of life. The joy of the daisies she paints is nonetheless tainted by the depth and sadness that is part of the dark earth. Her Wild Hare for the un- known, the barely possible and the excitingly daring is balanced by a deep awareness of what it's really all about. Rozy likes parties because they bring people together and give them a CllE1llC6 to laugh. And she wants them to laugh. A party is mined for her if she discovers a guest who is not enjoying himself as much as she. Solitude and enthusiasm, depth and frivolity, make- believe and reality are part of the world she creates and loves, and part, most of all, of her totally feminine and sensitive nature. 87
