One of this new student's car's most amazing feats was its successful voyage carrying the Glen Ellyn triumvirate-plus-one-from-Chicago to Mexico and back. If one wanted to locate Iim all he had to do was to listen for violent female shrieks such as No, no, not my books! or Where'd my shoe go?

NANCEE YELTON Elgin, Illinois Aeichlorians Paint and Palette Club Keynote Club Mixed Chorus Small but yet significant, our Nancee arrived two years ago to make a prominent place for herself in the class of '52. She is well known tor her unusual height of lour feet eleven-and- three-quarter inches and for the seeming impossible task ot peering over the steering wheel of her Ford Victoria. The young lady, who is quite the physicist, could for quite a time be seen tearing around the campus in great chaos with assorted parts of a yet unassembled motor and 400 yards of wire. Nancee recently purchased a mammoth trophy case in which to display her finally completed treasure to all. Nancee will be missed by us all but we know she will reach the top, even if it is on tiptoes. BARBARA YOUNG Elm Grove. Wisconsin Aeichlorians Paint and Palette Club Keynote Club Mixed Chorus Twelfth Night First Lady Young Barb arrived late in her senior year from a little ways from Wauwautosa. She was immediately well liked by her fellow students, for Barb is a very likable girl. Whenever any- body wants an ego booster or a bit of advice, they run to Barby, who is known for her understanding. We Academians are not the only ones who are appreciative oi Barb's wonderiul personality. Ii the contents of her mailbox are any evidence, a certain tall Notre Damean is also very aware oi it. One ol her most apparent talents is that of expert seamstress. She has wielded the needle in preparing costumes for school productions as well as increasing her own wardrobe. Good luck in the iuture.
