NOBLE BARBEE Seniors Music Education Phi Mu Alpha Findlay Barbee is a product of the conservatory and one which they can be proud of. This remarkable person has worked tirelessly to develop his talent and skill to the best of his ability. Quick actions, quick speech, and a quick walk are all characteristic of this interesting student, Barbee. There seems to be some attraction that draws him toward Aston Hall, and he furnishes good entertain- m.ent there before choir practice on Monday and Friday. GEORGE BARKER English Independent Maywood George was the guardian angel of the Elizabethan Study the first semester of this year; and he made a good one, for it is hard to stump him on a question concerning books. He has read almost everything from Homer to Hemingway. An English major, he gradu- ated at mid-year and left Millikin in favor of a job. Contrary to most, his red hair fails to carry with it a flashing temper; he is affable with an even disposition. GORDON BATCPIELDOR Business Independent Warrensburg Until you really know Gordon, you might think that he was one of those quiet retiring fellows. Know him, and you will repudiate that idea, for he is filled with fun and good nature that just has to flow over at the oddest times. If you have fussed at those piles of cinders that are always being put in the drives around school, you can fuss at Gordon, for he puts them there according to orders from Mr. Head. 28

WILLIAM ADAMS Business Tau Kappa Epsilon Decatur Bill will be a leader wherever he goes. We admire him for his independent thinking, his good judgment, and his high ideals. As president of the Tekes, business manager of the Millidek, and in other activities on cam- pus, he has shown himself an all-around fellow. He is most frequently seen with a blond Tri Delt from Assumption driving in his good looking maroon Pontiac or coking at the Mill. DOROTHY ALLEN Home Economics Pi Beta Phi Decatur Good looking clothes, always beautifully groomed, Do has spent four years being friendly with people. Most of us have liked her immediately, but those of us with any doubt at first have become convinced that she is pure inspiration to a friendship. Being a home ec major, she plans to teach, but even though she has done her share of socializing this year, the main attraction in her life is a certain car dealer. STEPHEN BALLANCE Business Independent Vernon Stephen is a fellow not seen much around school. We really don ' t know where he keeps himself, but no doubt he has been develop- ing his interests elsewhere. He has no special liking it seems, but likes a great many things equally well. As a business major he is interested in this phase of work, but as yet he has not decided on the particular field of business which will keep him interested for a lifetime.

Seniors INEZ BENNET Education Independent Decatur Being a little older than the majority of her senior class, Inez has not become very well acquainted on the campus. A very neat, precise person, she always presents a pleas- ant appearance as she comes and goes to the university. Being an education major she plans to teach after graduation, and we all wish her the best of luck as she develops in her work. ANNETTE BICKEL Art Delta Delta Delta Chicago Annette fools people! Far from being the quiet, unobtrusive little girl she appears, she is full of energy and is always ready to bring forth a witty remark or clever idea. Artistically she rates among the top. From posters to table decorations she has given generously of her ability, an asset which will be missed. She may go about things inconspicuously, but there is a strong character beneath her quiet words. ELEANOR BLIMLINE English Independent Argenta Eleanor is certainly not one of those people who talks just to hear her own voice, for she is usually very quiet; but when she makes a remark, she really says something. An Eng- lish major, she is noted for her acute observa- tions which make Miss McCaslin beam and most of the rest of the class marvel. Gentle and courteous, she is a perfect lady. 29
