CONNIE MCNOBLE A humor, firmly rooted in the belief that nothing is sacred, finds Connie ready to embarrass anyone: she de- lights in the outrageous. Often improper, she evokes amusement by an unusual frankness. Connie's lack of personal vanity liberates an honesty which displays no mercy when confronted by pretense. Her humor is shared by means of a comment that penetrates to the core of its object, and presents an observation too true to be less than hilarious. Refusing to admit her own ability, Connie overwhelms her mind with logical and disciplined knowledge. Pre- ferring memorization to understanding, she amazes others by quick and accurate retention. Her self-discipline in coping with the dillicult or unattractive gives rise to a generous dependability where matters of importance are concerned. An intelligence registered in quick perception, and a practicality ever-aware of the underlying serious- ness of life are belied by big blue eyes conveying feminine helplessness and a disorganization that canit follow di- rections. Out of chaos comes an originality that coins imme- diately popular phrases, and a determination that finds Connie continually working harder than those around her. She grapples the immediate reality with an intensi- ty that nourishes worry. Though apt to ignore formality., she is aware of basic needs and responds with deep kind- ness and sincere generosity to a plea for help or a sad story. 89

KATHY MCNULTY V There are exactly two places where you can find Kathy when shels not in class. In the North Wing smokeroom or on her bed right next door to it. Every half hour or so she commutes from one to the other. Kathy enjoys the camaraderie of the smokeroom as she does the privacy of her room. She can be the laughing exercise leader. Boisterous. Loud. Shrieking. Yelling her commands to her followers. Or she can be brooding. Quietly. All scrunched up under her light blue comforter. Her match- ing blue eyes peeping out at you. One hand slowly and deliberately tugging on her thick dark hair as if it were silk. But at the sound of someone's voice or footsteps in the hall, Kathy will shoot out of hed, throw open the door, and charge into the smokcroom. Forgetting her temporary mood. Eager to find out whatis new outside the walls. She'll stay there. Just talking and smoking. lVleasuredly. Contributing. You wonder how she gets so much so thor- oughly done. Until you learn her secret. Organization. From renovation nights to studying for finals, every- thing is Htted into a mental schedule. Known only to Kathy. Yet, if asked to choose hetween peace and panic, Kathy would, undoubtedly, with only a slight hesitation, pick the latter. For only in the smokeroom can you have a real delicatessen orgy with your friends and turn down il midnight oyster. 9I
