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

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.

PHYLLIS RIEHL— G.D. If she didn ' t excel in general design, modern dancing, horseback riding, swimming, skiing and summer camp work — and if she didn ' t handle all the odd jobs from running the Brush-Off” to clerking at the school store — and if she didn ' t have a Mom that makes such wonderful cookies . . . then, she just wouldn ' t be our Phil. PHIL JACKIE BILLIE JACQUELIN SAUNDERS— T.T. A serious and progressive teacher trainer; we count on her for perfect examples of correlation and inte- gration. A charter member of the riding club. One of a pair — her sense of humor rises to the top when she and Margie are together. We never know what they are laughing at, but they have fun! ADRIENNE SEAGRAVE -G.D. “Billie” might not suggest a silvery laugh and golden hair — but there is a story behind that nickname. Somehow her work incorporates sincerity and vivaciousness and is suggestive of the wind, the wide open West, and her Navy man across the sea ... At rest period we invariably witness the tempo- rary disappearance of Ellie and Billie.
