PRISCILLA MARSH— G.A. Our proof that the Navy prefers blondes! Contrary to “beautiful but dumb,” we hear “Pinkie” was accepted by Harvard but honored us instead. A marvelous sports- woman. Usually the quiet type, she ' s known to come forth with giggling spells when in the mood. ELIZABETH MALONEY— G.D. Versatile Betty breezes in laden with layouts, clad in beanie and knee socks. A slick designer, a character actress and “tap dancer.” Our Year Book editor is a thorough worker and experimenter. A prize-winner — she’s going places even tho’ some one stole her watercup inscribed — MALONEY. CHARLES MARTENS— T.T. Philosopher on all subjects, his specialty being Progressive Educa- tion. Ready to give Miss Nye the man’s “point of view,” casual to the n’th degree, tall, and pal of equally lengthy Kilday, now of the Navy. Here’s to the solution of his dreams and problems on educa- tion. ARLENE MASINO— T.T. Vivacious, petite, entertaining and flirtatious, Arlene dashes around with vitamin pill energy. She whips up a water color that sparkles, or a ring for her brother, “and he actually wears it — imagine!” She has us still wondering about that Huntington Avenue Sailor Conga Line(!)

ANNA HOGAN— T.T. Always cheerful and ready where assistance is needed. Remember her explanations and stories, com- plete with gestures and a sense of humor? Conscientious and sincere, with an eye to the future. Settle- ment houses and camps are her specialties. Ask her about the girl who drew flowers. RUTH HOLT— G.D. Pep and Go,” abstractions, and ducks classify this winsome miss. The brains behind the mass produc- tion of her Keep Mum poster. Hers is a direct approach to design, with as much directness in complet- ing ideas. Repercussions of Maine weekends, and I come first after cameras and boats.” MARY KELLY— C.D. S.A. president rushes through the halls with a sheaf of papers and “Roberts Parliamentary Order.” Tailored suits, lilting stride, icy hands, an iron-hand-in-the-velvet- glove technique. Possessor of an amazing collection of earrings. Notice the latest? Marine insignia. IRENE MAC MILLAN— C.D. Devilish twinkle in her pretty eyes belying the shirred sophistication of that purple silk gown. Illustra- tions, color as sparkling as her laugh, keeps things perpetually alive. Our own Dache, creates filmy hats, voluminous pocketbooks. We’ll look for our modern Venus on the pages of Vogue.

MARJORIE MCKOWEN— G.D. Gypsy personality, black eyes dancing over the latest dynamic idea, which she can’t wait to start and can’t start to finish. Lively illustrator of animals, cartoons, pickaninnies — lover of books. Angel child’s” schedule seldom coincided with that of the General Designers’. PATRICIA PHILLIPS— G.D. Able designer, accomplished musi- cian, persistent worker, a girl with a mind of her own, restrained and wise. Brown eyes and deep purple. Never loud to claim success, but surely slated for it. Ambitious floral patterns for wallpaper and fab- rics, and the first to start and finish a problem. HELEN PIELKA— C.D. Our bachelor, our career girl, our music lover, the one with the dramatic ideas, the one who in- dignantly insists “I’m not indig- nant!” and to prove it chuckles merrily the next instant. Bare mid- riffs, snoods, Chinese influence — her thoughts are turned to the theater. MARIE RAFFERTY— T.T. Shades of Amber and brown, our Marie with personality and dress as smooth as her work. Clever crafts- woman in the spirit of tomorrow. Always ready with the newest moron joke, or fascinating tales of the latest “House” happenings. We all envy her “living in.”
