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

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

SENIORS Ruth Sutton Scott ViUo Grove, Illinois Sut IS a small, dark gal who has a shy smile that goes well with her personality. When the smile is broadest you may well guess that she has received a letter from her husband in the South Pacific. She is a Biology major, but those courses she took in the Home Ec department will probably come in handy when the war is over. She is a capable person and has made an efficient treasurer for the Zetas this year. Deane Sensenbaugh Decatur, 111. Tall, sensible Deane is probably the most capable man in the senior class. His life is physical chemistry and any day he can be found puttering in either the physics or chemistry labs. He ' s another Kappa pledge and one that MiUikin is sure to hear much about within the next few years. Deane enters into all the lab parties readily and his subtle wit has caused many humorous situations. Rora Spitler Decatur, 111. Flora is an English major and is to be found most often with Edler and lohns at the corner drinking a coke. She is a quiet person who says little but has her own ideas and sticks to them. Her loyalty to her friends and to her sorority show her fine sense of values. Walter Tick Decatur, 111. Walt of the Decaturian staff is one of the most versatile men on campus. He ' s a fugitive from the chem lab, speaks French, German and Spanish fluently, and writes a commentary for the Dec that would challenge the best of journalists. Walt has an able wit that has been missed this semester. Tick will long be remembered in the chem department for his staunch argu- ments with Krigbaum on philosophical topics. 30
