Z' rgtx rf Page Thirty-Four VERONICA Dc-VAl,l,ET ISI Newbury Street, Boston Toody's ambition to be an old maid is one hard to understand or vrsuallze, All you have to do IS to hear her happy laughter or see her heart-warming smile, and at once you are conquered. When explaining a new book or her favorite symphony, Toody's excitement sometimes causes her to resort to her native French tongue, reminding her listener of her French background. As vice-president of the orchestra, she is starting naw toward her hoped for goal of being a good mu- sician, ond her other ambition, to be a successful woman is one that she shouldn't have any trouble in recogniz- ing, since she's been so very successful in her school life.

Marie, be- cause of her attitude of friendliness toward others, will be a friend. She col- lects foreign dolls and the row of them, all dressed in their native costumes of the lands they represent, make an inter- esting sight. As a baseball and football enthusiast, she does her best to attend these games, and nothing can be quite as satisfying as to watch the players run wildly for a home run or dodge lock and tackles fop a touch wn.
