LOOPIE MARY MACHLUP— T.T. EfFervescent is the word for Mary. Overflowing with pep and enthu- siasm, she ' s the spark plug of our teacher training division. Still with an English accent, Mary has the where-with-all to go places in teaching. A strange combination of naivete and sophistication — Mary’s laughter is a challenge to all that is smug and complacent. BARBARA MacLEOD— T.T. Sweet Mac, with the candid eyes and a ready laugh for everyone. . . . She married and returned to school to graduate with us. Long fair hair flying as she dashes across for coffee . . . she’s our sophisti- cated Alice-in-Wonderland! Quiet, friendly, and intelligent, Barbara is a lovely person to look at — and to know. MAC BUFF ELLIE MAUDE MILLER— G.D. Calm, dignified, poised ... a genial hostess. Our Student Association President has a flair for style and a lively interest in music, books, plays and movies. Somehow lengthy letters to “our” boys in the service don’t hinder the completion of work be- fore deadlines. Apply the name Buff’’ to this rare combination. ELNA NELSON— T.T. Whimsical Ellie — whose quiet de- termination knows not failure . . . Our modernist — an enthusiast for wet paper painting on wall paper. Bright red and black are her colors. Creative Elna — who does as well with words as with her brush . . . and weaves all the loose threads of language into a perfect whole . . . as Editor-in-Chief of our Year Book.

NANCY GRAVES— T.T. A cherry mouth and cropped hair — a highly developed knack of inno- cently getting into trouble — green, green, and more green is her favor- ite color — as though we didn’t know! Efficient in “home” work and school work. ... A personality with- out whom the teacher training de- partment could not get along. MARJORIE HERENE— T.T. Rust, yellow, black, ethereal ab- stractions, photography, together with a diamond, a violin, a piano and Jackie” produce Margie ' s combination. Our pixy with dancing brown eyes and that hair is seen at rest period with an enormous brown paper bag. We envy the ease with which she tackles our many teacher training problems. NANC MARGIE HOKIE EDI I I HARRIETTE HOLCOMB— G.D. I Staunch supporter of brunettes, earrings, and Temple Place U.S.O. Ask her a question and you will invariably receive the emphatic reply of, “Just because!” Fast click of heels down the corridor is as indicative of Hokie as the able I speed with which she designs. A bubbling laugh and a toss of the head accompanies her apprecia- tion of art, literature, and domes- [ ticity. i EDITH KARTSTEIN— G.D. Unmistakably the “genius” of our drawing classes, Edith has devel- oped for herself a wry sense of humor that belies her Stoughton mildness. She demands a thorough explanation of the “why” — of any one — and everything, as well as attention to her usually opposing opinions, and . . . that hot cup of coffee during rest period!

BARBARA PEASE— T.T. A never-ending source of good humor — a readiness to assist any- one in need of help. A hostess to sailors and soldiers at the Y”. Peasey devotes all her spare time — and even her thesis — to the morale building of the service men. On the side she is taking a course in Fluent” French. We wonder why? BARBARA RYAN— T.T. The vigorous member of the Bartlett, Boyce, Ryan gang, and a dweller at the Y”! Hearts and flowers make up her motif. She has a super sense of humor . . . bubbling over with jolly, contagious laughter and a store of jokes which she picks up somewhere. What a joy she must be to those high school students on Tuesdays! ALBERT PETITTO— T.T. Harassed and heckled by women, Al is the man of our Art Education outfit. An able sculptor and car- penter, he is our salvation when there is construction work to be done. With his window displays and figurines, “Petitt is already established in the business world. He is a clever fellow . . . with a twinkle in his eye. . . . PETin RYE
