1955 CAROL MILDRED DIGISI Westport Connecticut English “Digi” came to Keuka a shy, naive girl, but my, what four years can do for a person! Digi is active in all sports, although getting up for crew is a tough struggle. “I can t get up at 5:45. Let’s turn off everyone’s alarm, then we won’t have to get up,” are familiar words the night before practice. “ I’ve got so much to do,” says Digi. This is followed by a sigh. Then you find her resting. “Just going to shut my eyes for a few minutes.” When someone has to do something and can’t, Digi always says, “I’ll do it.” She never disappoints anyone. De¬ pendable, friend to everyone, well liked—that’s Digi. MARGARET JANE LAIL Dover New Jersey English-J ournalism Need a bus, train or plane schedule? Ask Margo, nicknamed such by a Phi Sig. (Five, Margo?) Before a big weekend you hear “I don’t have a thing to wear,” “How can I take my blue suitcase; it doesn’t match my coat?” Margaret and her men are enough to make a roommate grey. “I didn’t know what I was missing when I was engaged” is her pet saying now. Margaret, right- hand girl of the English and History Departments, can usually be seen running to Hegeman singing her number one song, “I’m off to see the wizard . . . ” Among her many distinctions, Margaret is known for her frankness and independence.

SENIORS NORMA WADSWORTH TUCKER Niagara Falls New York Interdepartmental Science Norma has a cheerful and pleasing disposition. Her many cries include those of “I’m tired all of a sudden” “Two thousand snicks” and “ Learn how to operate that gimmick.” She started Chemistry off with a bang—right in the face. Those collect calls from Norfolk made bankers out of all of us. “Do I look like a bride?” were Normalena’s last few words before taking the big step. “Wonder if Ed is thinking about me?” and “I bet it’s time for stew again!” are evidences of Norma’s non¬ chalant manner. The enthusiasm and effort with which Norma does her work adds to her list of assets. BARBARA ANN BECKWITH Binghamton New York Business Becky always has a good time, whether it be work or play. An abundance of dates, Chinese pajamas, and the title of “Barbara Balance Sheet” typify Becky. Her own special vocabulary includes such pet phrases as “Oh, sickness” “This has just got to go,” and “Just five more days until the weekend, kids.” She can boast a prize collection of party hats and college banners, not to mention the souvenirs on her giant-sized bulletin board. Listen¬ ing to jazz and writing letters are favorite pastimes. Becky has a natural sense of humor and confirms the old adage, “Laugh and the world laughs with you. [ 24 ]

SENIORS CAROLYN GILMORE Alfred Station New York Nursing A pert blonde, Carrie-Lou works hard at everything she tackles, whether it takes brains, brawn, or bedpans. A resident of Strong’s “Harmony Hall”, she was freshman vice-president, Anon ' s make-up gal, and student nurse prexy frosh sum¬ mer. She burned the midnight oil turning out term papers and even built a tent for philosophic concentration. Carolyn is a top-notch nurse in any situation; but oh, those over-due case studies. Weekends off, she makes a bee-line for the Keuka campus, Rochester, or Alfred. Carolyn will dance through life with RIT’s ace photographer. In a flurry of excitement, she and Cam will take the big step soon in ' 55. ELIZABETH GRAY Rochester New York Nursing Betty packed in two years of campus life full of activity before she joined the gals in green and white and became an efficient nurse. She was a staunch supporter of the Stevenson Democrats, Miss Nichols’ glee club, and Arion (a real prop girl) ; she even worked swinging Dr. Carrier’s mop as a side line. No Strong Haller has ever kept later hours or acquired such deafness to alarm clocks. Maybe it was those inevitable term papers that somehow added more A’s to her record. Betty has a yen for travel; hut thrift, dependabilty, and nursing judgement could only lead to a top hos¬ pital executive position. [ 26 ]
