ELEANOR MORSE— CD. Elly, petite and blue eyed with a shock of curly hair and a smile to match, a never-ending source of pins and sandwiches, a shy, quiet air, broken occasionally by an astounding observation or a “Miss Flint!” that matches the best of ours; designs that personify her — a ne at little dress with brilliant lively touches. LENA SUHER— C.D. “I’ve just got to have it done by Friday” and darned if she doesn’t! She can sit and sew with the quietest of us and then park her needle and jitterbug with the liveliest. A letter a day between the model’s poses. A happy dis- position will ever carry her through. PHYLLIS TOCK— G.A. The hauntingly beautiful Phyl. To look at her is to think, “To her may be attributed the wisdom of the Sphinx.” To know her is to find her intelligent and well read. Rare in that she keeps a truly open mind — she leaves room always for others’ opinions. She’s doing her bit through her U.S.O. work. New adjustments, new contacts — we became ab- sorbed in camouflage, airbrush, mechanical drawing, and costume research — in write-ups, having pictures taken for the yearbook. It has been a strange year, full of adjustments. We realize that our duty lies in doing a good job where we are most needed now. Eagerly, we look to the future. PHYLLIS TOCK

CONSTANCE BUSH— C.D. Long hair, green eyes and magic touch in creating clothes that be- long only to Connie, our naive sophisticate, quiet, genial and knowing — all kinds of letters — hm! And we were envious when she in- herited that red brocade. Interests in the Navy and Harvard, the latter claiming most attention. RICHARD FRENIERE— G.A. No one enjoys himself as Dick does doing myriad horror pictures, etch- ings, and lithographs turned out a la Assembly Line. We’re still laughing over his hilarious panto- mimes. His following greatest among the freshmen girls, he is a welcome addition to our class. BERTHA GARYONIS— CD. A designer to the n ' th degree. Cookie whips up a dress at break- neck speed overcoming twisted sleeves and interlinings. Cries of frustration, dimples and brown eyes mingle — and behold — a crea- tion! Corduroy, angora trim, float- ing net and dirndls are her medium. Clothes with gay charm about them are the result. JEAN BACON— G.A. “Until Johnny comes marching home again,” Jean has her hands full with daily letters to far-off places and adjusting herself to explosive, “know-it-all” seniors, who found their blonde pacifist a lovely person in mind, body, and soul. First prize winner of the Columbia Record contest. jyinoRS We returned to school full of lofty ideals: We should not let the war affect us; we should be artists and dress designers even though not essential to the war effort. What excitement, getting acquainted with etchings and lithographs, learning about fashion illustration and design. But there were too few of us — a change had to be made. Unanimously we chose to be with the seniors — to go on as best we could.

The serious attitude of the students was reflected in concentrated co-operative war work and cheerful sacrifice of social activities. Our service men’s bulletin, “The Brush-Off,” broadcast information on our school activities and provided a tie which neither distance nor time will sever. Just for cementing that bond the Association may feel that its efforts were successful. • • MARY KELLY eaAJsjQjoJz “It can’t be done!” they said. The budget so low — the time so short — the task so great — yet these were not sufficient obsta- cles to dull our enthusiasm. Thus we tackled the impossible. It meant hard work for our chosen few, but if this book brings memories of our spirited class, we can rest now — our work complete.
