We who have lived with Clare know how wide herlworld must be. It is a lovely place, and we, who have had the pleasure of sharing it for even a little while, know that her world is, and will ever be, a happy one. A person with a heart as warm and friendly as Clare's cannot fail to be well liked wherever she goes, and college days served only to add to her hosts of friends. It is hard to analyze Clare's personality. It is rather enigmatical. Hard-pressed for a thumb- nail description, one would look puzzled, and proffer, Unsophisticated sophisticatef' Very para- doxical, indeed, Sophisticated she is, when dressed from head to toe in the latest fashion, she trips into a waiting roadster, and is whisked to points east, north and south, footballing, theatre-going or just plain week-ending. Unsophisticated is she, when with a gay crowd she plays tag fAh, days of my youth, you haven't gone yet!J, tears around making french beds, tries an occasional ride in the elevator, and dashes, windblown and breathless, just a half minute late for class! You'll keep your cosmopolitanism, Clare, but through it, your heart of gold will shine forth, brightening the darkness of a weary world, making it a finer place to live in because your inspiring presence will add light and leading to this sad old earth that must borrow its mirth.

She spins her web of ideals, and her gossamer threads of beauty, and produces in reality a concrete realization of her dreams. Unlike most dreamers, she never fails to crystallize her noble thoughts into actions. or to give expression to her visions of poetry. A keen wit, she shines as a conversationalistg she can talk to you about anything, books, science, history, yes, even singing Dowdy's freshman days saw her gain glory as a soap-box orator, and as a scaler of hre escapes par excellence. She has held many offices during her four years, but graced none as she did that of leader of the jesse james club, which specialized in French beds and reversed bureau drawers. Her abilities demand for their recounting a more capable pen than this one. lf we were to invent a new adjective, we could call her straight-A Dorothy, for she was an A scholar, a 1007 frolic maker, and a top-notch friend. The shades of time will naturally take away from us some of our precious college souvenirs, but we are confident that the years cannot obliterate this personality composed of sugar and spice and everything nice.

CN f? ELMP-TA CN ff MILDRED RITA IERICKSON 627 GRAFTON ST., Wcmittgizsrria, Mfxss. Millie Alas, bow ferr' IIJEYE are who mike in ui ar ford we emu' exiiled, bill .ielrlum l1t'ill'61'.u Upon entet'in ' rss, in ividuals stand out, Millie among them. You would be met with a smile-such a lovely characteristic. that smile. lt's a glad one. It fades only in sorrow for a friends unhappiness, and even then it appears, dimmed with sympathy in her eyes. For Millie is a glad person: glad to be alive and glad to help you. We like her- that is inevitable. We admire her studiousness. her unfailing energy. and her cooperation in every school and class activity. Millie is a member of nearly every club, working for them all with enthusiasm and com- plete loyalty and abandon. junior year she was on the clts l b . .e tis ce ating team. She has been our class song leader for two years. These very different responsibilities were filled to perfection by Millie-. She sings, does Millie, even before our most ditlicult exams. just ask her the words to the latest popular air. If she doesn't know it yet, she will by tomorrow. It is nice to know that Millie is always the same. glad and kind. with an occasional burst of temper that does us all good. Wlien saying adieu to her we couple our farewell with an earnest prayer that we may meet often. g a room containing the Senior clt ' d' Sodalityg Debating Society. 2, 53 Dramatic Society, 1, 2, 5, -ig Metaphysical Club, 33 Social Action Club, 43 Glee Club, 1, 2, 5, 41 Le Cerrle Fr.z11r.zii, 2, 3, 4. 1955 23
