Jessie Elizabeth Baldwin Decatur, Illinois Bachelor of Arts Jessie Baldwin gives the impres- sion of always being wide awake, no matter what the weather, time, or place. Maybe this is one reason why Dr. McNabb appointed her head of the ticket sales for Town and Gown productions this year. She goes about anything she does in a well-organized, business-like manner which really produces re- sults as is shown by her scholastic record at Millikin. She was initiated into Pi Mu Theta and is a member of that exclusive threesome known as Millikin ' s Three Musketeers — namely, Dro- bisch, Baldwin, and Harris, this last activity having occupied much of her time. Jean Beall Decatur, Illinois Bachelor of Arts Believe it or not, Jeanie is a chem- istry major. Somehow that seems incongruous, and Jeanie herself ad- mits that there were times when the reaction was a little slow. It was a picture far removed from the chem- istry lab, however, that she pre- sented as Junior Prom Queen last year in white formal and orchids. She is a Pi Mu Theta also, and was acting president of Panhellenic So- ciety this year. If you ' re hunting for her in the main lobby between classes, a dash of red is usually a pretty good indi- cation that she is around; if it ' s not her dress or the feather on her hat, it ' ll be her shoes.

Donald G. Baird Bethany, Illinois Bachelor of Science Red hair or no red hair, Don Baird never gets mad. But he ' s a real stu- dent, not because he pulls down good grades, but because he pos- sesses something rather uncommon in these parts known as intellectual curiosity. And he polishes no apples for his grades. It was a lusty Ja, Ja, Ja, Ja that Don contributed in the Cafe chorus on International Night. And it was with this spirit that he entered into all his activities on campus. He even looked cheerful juggling cups and saucers from kitchen to laps at Conant meetings. Cora Elizabeth Baker Decatur, Illinois Bachelor of Science To walk down the halls with Cora Baker is to receive a virtual bom- bardment of hi ' s and hello ' s from all sides. For everyone knows and likes her. She has a friendly way of being at ease with everyone, and she never seems too busy or too pre-occupied to take an interest in what you have to say. If you don ' t have anything to say, she ' s siill interested. Cora is a Home Ec. major and from what we hear she has per- formed some small wonders in the line of dashing off cakes and the like. Any afternoon will usually find her leaning nonchalantly on on the counter in the college supply store, helping to keep the atmos- phere cheery. SENIORS page twenty-two

Martha Brown Grand Coulee, Washington Bachelor of Arts Competence and comedy are ad- mirably combined in Martha Brown. She can handle any situation, and she has a deluxe sense of humor which flavors everything that she does. We remember one occasion in State Government when, during one of her famous undercover mono- logues, Little Nell and the Sheriff , Miss Brown was suddenly called upon to recite. Hilarity ensued among those within hearing dis- tance of her muttered wise-cracks and melodramy, but undaunted Brownie rose to the occasion, and with many halts and much dignity answered the guestion put to her. Her college career has been of her own making; it has reguired much determined hard work on her part. So much has she gained in appre- ciation of beauty and in evalua- tion of people and things that her graduation will be a completion of a rich and profitable phase of her life. Don A. Busing Sibley, Illinois Bachelor of Science In a vote for the most genial man Dn campus, Don Busing would cer- tainly be the peoples ' choice. Be- sides his dimples, he is noted and admired for minding his own business. He ' s guite a hand at mim- icking professors too — especially economics professors. He came to J. M. U. from Lincoln Junior College. He has had a hand in managing Big Blue teams and he made Alpha Omega his senior year. He aspires to be a farm manager. Well, — it ' s the big city ' s loss and the barnyard ' s gain. SENIORS page twenty-four
