BETTY POLLOCK— G.D. Sophisticated lady of impeccable beauty, turban and diamond ring, spurred on by a dependable re- serve of brain power — simplified designs, emphasized by outline. With a meeting to attend and calls from the Dean, our class president and co-editor of the “Brush-Off” is definitely “on the road. WILLIAM APATOFF— G.A. From cupid-bow lips comes a steady stream of Rabelaisian com- ments which have seldom been heard in the halls of M.S.A. Likable, with his alternate moods of touch- ing sincerity, and outrageous char- latanism. Known for his dreamy paintings, his love for the beautiful, be it neuter or feminine. MURIEL FIGENBAUM— T.T. Blonde hair and an enviable Nor- wegian complexion. With the ex- pression, “Isn’t that exciting!”, Mu- riel keeps us posted on library shows of the moment and amusing anecdotes about visiting celebri- ties. Always a step ahead of the dead-line, she leaves us trailing along in wonder and admiration. DAVID BERGER— G.A. A poker face topped with a mop of hair which defies the persuasions of his comb. Personable and un- assuming, a first-rate entertainer and sincere painter (with an obvi- ous fondness for Indian Red). He is singularly blessed with a charming friend, a perfect complement for his unusual personality.

WINIFRED COX— G.D. With red barns and fences, her modern design makes the big difference. She knit up her ideas, and Santa brought her what she wanted for Christmas. A veil of sarcasm encircles her genial per- sonality. Leader of the discussion group — outbursts of the next trip to New York. VIRGINIA CUMMING— G.A. Last word in neatness, and tact — a colorful and vigorous craftsman, whose strong work belies her slim, unruffled appearance and winning smile. Given a task, she does it, and well. Prize winner of the Colum- bia Record contest. Active in various war services, with a special devo- tion to the Navy. MARIAN J. CHODAKOWSKI— T.T. Blue and yellow are my favorite colors! Blonde Marian, with two rings and a husband at Annapolis, is proof that there is hope for other T.T.’s. We admire her vivacity and B-1 energy. Leader of the scrap drive last year, she is a staunch promoter for War Effort. VERA Dl STEFANO— G.A. They say ‘‘still water runs deep,” but now and then she comes forth with remarks unexpected, astound- ing, and clever. Seemingly aloof, her power of understanding proves her remoteness to have been de- voted to thinking, all of which is ' obvious in her sensitive work.
