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.”

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(!)

DOROTHY ROCKMAN— G.D. Overloaded with supplies and wearing a Friday afternoon grin from ear to ear, she arrives each day exuberant, only to find she for- got ' her design. A literary artist, loves the excitement of New York and colors of Mexico. Her work suggests Rivera and she tackles it with zest. FRANCES ROSE— G.A. From frivolous facetious freshman to a charmingly wise, gracious, and well-informed senior, though the source of information is still a sub- ject for debate. And yet precious flashes of the old — beguiling pig- tails, happy, slightly moronic grin, and What have you got for lunch?” MOLLIE RUBENSTEIN— Modeling Our Huckleberry Finn, always ready for duck-shooting at 3:00 A.M. Miss Physical Science till ’43. Flower-bedecked up-do — she dem- onstrates the new leap in the air from her latest activity, her inter- pretative dancing class. Her $64 question — Can’t I do it in clay?” MARY REARDON— T.T. A dry humorous remark, a twinkle of the eye, and again the serious- ness of the moment is disrupted. Sketches of babies that always look like her are dashed off with a deft hand. Stories of her fatfiily send us off into gales of laughter. She’s dependable and able.
