SENIORS Shirley Friedinger Decatur, 111. Between getting to classes, and working on the Herald and Review, Shirley has had a busy four years. We haven ' t seen much of her around campus, but when she is there she always has that friendly smile and a cheery hello for every- one. Shirley is an English major and with her experience m Jour- nalism she will undoubtedly make a name for herself. Marjorie Funk Bement, 111. Marge probably has more friends than anyone on campus. She has lots of pep and is always ready for a good time. W.A.A. ' s most prized possession. Marge has made a good President for the organization. She is a Home Ec major and is a whiz with a sewing machine. The Waves are getting a grand girl when Marge leaves m June. She will probably be an Admiral before she gets out. Mrs. Pearl Grant Decatur, 111. Mrs. Grant goes quietly about her work with a friendly smile for everyone. Her interesting talks on Horoscopes and the easy manner with which she gives them have been the envy of many of us m Dr. McNabb ' s speech classes. She is a very intellectual person who can talk on a number of subjects with equal ease. Helen Green Decatur, III. Helen is Miss Blackburn ' s pride and joy. She has been very active in the Language Department and helps make Cha- pel interesting. Always perfectly groomed, Helen has made us wonder how she gets everything done and still makes those good grades. She is a quiet, friendly person who will be missed next year. 24

SENIOMS Jean Doncey - - - Decatur, 111. Jean is a tiny girl with an amazing amount of pep and per- sonality. She is intensely interested in all of the arts, and excels in many of them. The English department gained much when Jean came to Millikin. Jean ' s greatest activity on campus has centered around dramatics. She has had the lead ' in several Town and Gown productions, as well as pro- ducing and acting in one-act plays. An unusual girl, Jean is going to be missed in the halls next year. Geraldine Edler ' Wauwatosa, Wis. Gerry comes from that great state of Wisconsin, and is one of the busiest persons on campus. As Theta Upsilon President, Panhellenic President, member of the Student Council, be- sides practice teaching, she has shown herself capable of lead- ing and has brought forth many new ideas. Gerry is one of the squarest girls an campus. Her summer work at home has caused many a laugh. Ask her about it sometime. After reading her features in the Dec for four years, we know that she will be a success in her major, English. Irene Eilers Pa a, 111. Tall, blonde, and always well-groomed describes Irene perfectly. She is a dietetics major and has produced some wonderful dishes m the Foods lab. Her good grades and friendly personality have made her a favorite both with profs and students. As President of the Indees, and the Home Ec Club, she has been at her best. Artys Ford Mt. Vernon, 111. Artys IS one of those special persons who set high stand- ards for themselves and reaches them with ease. She has proved her competence as assistant to Mr. Neal in the Art De- partment. One of Millikin ' s few Art majors, clever party gad- gets and posters are mere child ' s-play for her. With a disposi- tion as fair as her skin, and with her great talent for art, how can she fail? 23

SENIOKS Mary Lou Grothe Chicago, 111. An avid devotee of sophisticated clothes, Mary Lou herself is quite sophisticated. Coming from Wright Junior College, she has been an addition to Prof. Neal ' s art classes, has worked on the student Lounge Committee, on Town and Gown committees, and ' is publicity chairman of the Home Ec Club. Tall, good-looking fellows who can rhumba are her pet hobby. She is also Delta Delta Delta ' s War Projects Chairman. Decatur, 111. Few people know Joy for the witty person he really is. He works part-time at Haines and Essicks in the camera depart- ment and what he doesn ' t know about cameras, film, etc., isn ' t worth knowing. The Sociology department couldn ' t get along without him. He knows all the answers. Eileen Holm Gibson City, 111. Eileen made a beautiful bride in the senior skit this year. Blonde hair, a quiet unassuming personality and a shy smile make her a really likeable person. The possessor of good grades, Eileen graduated in mid-year and is doing an excel- lent iob of teaching— lucky pupils who have her for their teacherl June Kincaid Decatur, 111. June is an unusual person. Her wide range of interests, Home Ec, Art, Chapel Committee, and many others, make her mteresting to those who know her. She has a ready sense of humor, is loyal, ardent, and intense interest in sporting activi- ties with a will to win. Her ever-present smile and her cheer- ful way will be missed in these old halls next year. 25
