SENIORS Carolyn Carmack Pease Decatur, ill. CalUe surprised us all this year by tlie announcement of her marriage to Sgt. Roger Pease. However, she was well prepared for this career as she is a Home Ec major. Patience is one of her many assets, as we have all asked her assistance at one time or another in the library. She has worked there for two years and is probably more familiar with the books than Miss Allin herself. George Peters Chicago, 111. Peters is practically a MiUikin institution. Another of the fearless five , from the Chem department, George has won many friends with his ready smile and his willingness to do odd jobs that no one else wants. Chapel Committee Chair- man, Alpha Omega, Conant, Indees, Language Clubs, Town and Gown are some of the activities which he has had his fin- ger in. He ' s good-looking, too, as Ginny will testify. Mrs. Challis Patton Decatur, 111. Mrs. Patton gives the impression of always being v ide awake, no matter what the weather, time, or place. She goes about anything she does with a well-organized, business-like manner which really produces results as is shown by her scholastic record at MiUikin. She has a friendly way of being at ease with everyone, and she never seems too busy to take an interest in what you have to say. If you don ' t have any- thing to say, she ' s still interested. Margaret Prince Decatur, 111. Peggy has been called the friendliest girl on campus. She could usually be found in the Home Ec hall or lending some- one a helping hand. Much of her time this year was spent working physics problems for her fellow students. Loyalty is an outstanding quality of her winning personality and her sense of humor is amazing. Besides carrying a double major, Home Ec teaching and Dietetics, Peg played the fiddle four years in the orchestra. ■ .C; 28

SENIOMS Marjory Magill Decatur, 111. A leader in everything, Marji has engaged in many activi- ties while at Millikin as well as a busy social life. Friendly, neat, capable, and an all-around girl, she was Vice-President of Tri-Delta, secretary of the Junior Class, a member of the Homecoming Queen ' s Court, Dec Staff, Sigma Zeta and has been active on Town and Gown Committees. One of her great- est achievements was Co-Editing the ' 43 Millidek. She ' ll be a welcome addition to any hospital as a lab technician. Robert McDaniel Moweaqua, 111. Bob is a short, dark fellow who spends most of his time in the lounge with Kinnaird and the rest of the gang. He ' s a friendly fellow and if you want to know where the Delta Sig brothers are and what they are doing, just ask McDaniel. We haven ' t seen much of the motorcycle he used to whiz by on lately. That was a favorite sight when the brothers were still on West Main. Cynthia Meseke Decatur, 111. Ginger ' s auburn hair and pert hair bow dazzled her high school practice teaching class so much that they found it hard to concentrate on their studies. But as long as she keeps daz- zling that cerain Marine, everything will be all right. Cynthia ' s practical ability and efficiency enabled her to become student treasurer in her senior year. Dorothy Pabner Decatur, 111. Dottie is a tiny, vivacious girl who looks out of place in the Chem lab but certainly is not. She left us at the end of the first semester for a job in a Chemistry plant but while she was here she was active on Senior Committees. She was to be found almost any afternoon in the lower hall with her lab apron on, drinking a coke between periods. 27

SENIOMS Marijane Rathsack Greenview, 111. Marijane is a quiet friendly person who transferred to Milli- kin at the end of her Sophomore year. Her friends at Aston Hall will tell you that she may seem quiet but when you get to know her, you can ' t stop laughing at her silly jokes. She has impressed her professors with her quiet efficiency and poise. Her class contributions have the dignity characteristic of everything she does. Velda Gerber Redlich Fairbury, III. Gerb has thrilled many an audience with her lovely voice and striking appearance. Efficiency is another one of her many virtues as her achievements show — treasurer of Tri Delta, assistant director of Old Acquaintance , one of the leads in Pride and Prejudice , W. A. A., and Decaturian. She ' s wait- ing for her degree so that she can continue her role as house- wife for that handsome husband. Bill. Beverly Reed Chicago, 111. The question invariably asked about Bev is: How does she do it all? She doesn ' t just stop at being efficient or clever, but is always around when a friend is needed or fun is to be had. Strikingly beautiful to top it all, Bev is strictly on the ball and leaves a big order to be filled when she graduates. Eloise Scott Mt. Auburn, 111. Scotty is the third of the Scotts to come to Millikin and has really done her bit to keep up the family reputation. Tall and attractive, she has a cheerful grin and a friendly hello for everyone. The Zetas chose Scotty for their president in her Junior year and some of her other activities include Secretary of W.A.A., Vice-President of Panhellenic in ' 43, Decaturian, Student Lounge Committees, Town and Gown Play Commit- tees, and Home Ec Club. 29
