Philip Coen Pleasant Plains Reserved, sincere, earnest.

Patricia Curran Decatur Pi Beta Phi, scholarship committee, scholarship chairman; Spanish Club; WAA; Phi Bi Chem, Cheerful, friendly, good mixer. Pat ' s a chem major even if she does spend half her lab periods down in the Lounge majoring in bridge. She really knows her bridge too, as those grand slams she ' s forever making would indicate. Also attached to that Delta Sig pin from Dig-Dig Joyce. Martha Sanks Cutler Decatur Delta Delta Delta, rushing chairman, president; Town and Gown; ... - Conant. . Vivacious, attractive, gracious.

Delillis is the gal from Illiopolis who is just as handy with water colors as she is with a sewing machine. Creative and original, she also possesses a regular beauty opera- tor ' s license.

SENIOMS Marie Block Oreana Indees; V AA; German Club, president; Co- nant, secretary. Friendly, cheerful, passion for bridge. Marie, who really excels in German, used to have a fancy for embroidered aprons. She can usually be located in the Lounge, stirring up a bridge game. Suzanne Bodkin Decatur Alpha Chi Omega, scholarship chairman, chaplain, corresponding secretary; WAA; Home Economics Club; MiUidek. Sincere, happy, never seems to worry. Flashes around with a Delta Sig pin on her sweater, and a diamond on her left hand . . . just to show she ' s not fooling. The lucky man is Harry Tyson, former Millikinife now overseas. Speaking of flashes, you should see the pictures she takes with those special bulbs. Harriet Bolz Decatur Delta Delta Delta, assistant treasurer, treas- urer; Tau Chi Pi; Pi Mu Theta; Spanish Club; Millidek. Bright, efficient, witty, lots of fun. Hattie lives to the tune of My Bill for that big TKE Bill Olsen, now in the Navy Air Corps. Harriet is a business major who really knows what goes on in and around this old school. William Britton Decatur Indees; Phi Bi Chem. Studious, earnest, intelligent. Bill is usually to be found in the chem lab or with Henrietta. There isn ' t much about Chemistry that can stump Bill. We envy him that little bicycle in this day and age of rationing. George Burgher Mattoon Sigma Alpha Epsilon, rushing chairman; Intra- murals; Phi Bi Chem. Carefree, cynical, sarcastic. Quite a man is Burgher . . . the man about town of the senior class. He is a pre-med student, but can you imagine Burgher with a bedside manner and without his plaid shirt? Leah Carrier Decatur Home Economics Club; Indees; WAA. Quiet, intelligent, full of fun. Leah is Dr. Bell ' s assistant and is really fond of Fluff. However, her heart ' s out in California, as evidenced by her frequent trips west and those super gifts. 28

Helen Daut Decatur T.iii ( ' hi Pi; Business paper, Alumrii diloi Quiet, intolligent, capable. Helen is a business major and a model ol industry and elliciency. An active member of Tau Chi Pi, she has been one of the staunchest supporters lor the business depart- ment ' s publication. Robert Dickenson Decatur Sigma Alpha Epsilon; Intramurols ' Quiet, smooth, dry humor. The sponge , as his Sig Alph brothers call him, is the victim of almost every unfortunate circumstance that comes along. His broken collarbone and V for Victory haircut for example. Rather quiet until coaxed, he soon becomes the life of the party. George Ecklund Pi Mu Alpha. Talented, friendly, witty. George is the wit of the Conserv, and the perfect person to take along on choir trips . . . just ask those who know. One of the most talented of Millikin, he is always hunting up new harmonies and making original arrangements. It seems that a certain freshman redhead has taken up a lot of his time this year. Milton Dippold Decatur Band. Happy, friendly, good mixer. Milt spends his nights playing m dance bands and his days sleeping in the lounge. But he really knows his music . . you should hear him play boogie-woogie. His dramatic ability was evidenced by his whole hearted participation in End of the World. Springfield Edwardsville Anita Ellsperman Sigma Alpha Iota; Band; Orchestra; Pi Mu Theta. Sweet, generous, intelligent. Nita really knows how to blow that trumpet. Phil Spitalney ' s interest in her work leaves no doubt on that subject. An honor student as well, Anita has a bright future in store for her. . • Decatur Robert Ernest Indees. Friendly, talented, happy. It would be hard to say whether art or the little home ec major, Attebery, is Bob ' s main interest. Many of his paintings have been exhibited at the Art Institute as well as here at school. 30
