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

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

Seniors JEANNE BURDICK Biology Delta Delta Delta Assumption We are always proud of our Jeannie. Shy, unassuming, she reigns over her science labs as she reigned over the Homecoming Ball. She was meant to be a queenl And, like a true queen, beauty is not all, for Jeannie ' s campus activities won her a place in this year ' s Who ' s Who . We will remember her red hair, her quick blushes, and her popu- larity with both men and women. Beautiful Burdick describes her perfectly. MARGARET BURKHARDT Latin Alpha Chi Omega Highland Park Margaret has been the pride and joy of the language department, for she has a natural proficiency for this type of work. Many have been the occasions when she has made use of her talents, especially in the International Night programs but also in several Town and Gown productions. She has gained much practical experience throughout her college years since she has been fortunate in being an assistant in the language department. OLIVER BURNETTE Business Sigma Alpha Epsilon Decatur Here comes tall, dark, and handsome people say when Ollie strolls into the B. M. T. R., and we couldn ' t find a phrase to fit him better. Of course, among the fair sex he is a likely prospect for competition! He ' s a regular maestro at the bass fiddle and swings out in dance bands in his spare evenings. A loyal S. A. E., he is active in chapter affairs and does more than his bit for the good of the brothers. 30
