► BETSY BARKER •JOYCE ROOT BARMIER •DOROTHY BARNES tired. • JOYCE ROOT BARMIER. Joyce is majoring in dietetics. She mokes stunning clothes ond olwoys has a recipe handy. She wos senior representative for O-M on Governing Board. An ardent Demo- crat, Joyce can usually be found plugging the party line. • DOROTHY BARNES. Dottie, from Mills Hall, spends most of her time squinting at amebic forms through a microscope. On Saturdays, v hile hanging anxiously on the radio to hear Walt and the Army, she becomes a wildly gesticulating, excited, frenzied— all this and more— rooter for Army ' s best football team in thirty years. • VIRGINIA VOLLMER BARR. Our senior with the double life! Her head on the campus and her heart in Son Francisco. We will remember most of all her laborious knitting, our pleasant dinners at her apartment, and our free consul- tations with Dr. Barr. • JUDITH BEAUMONT. Judy, the queen of Mills ' Tin Pan Alley, never ceases to amaze us with the way she can turn out songs (and good ones) for every skit, combining that talent with an interest in serious music. She can metamorphize her everyday casualness into an opero-opening-night sophistication. She has a quick, sharp intelligence. q z o CD TO TO c o c O z 25

• ISABELLA ARTMAN •CAROL ANN BACHER • HELEN BARBOUR • ISABELLA ARTMAN. Izzy and beautiful blond hair are synonymous. Presiding over Education Club, sitting on Hall Council, and practice teaching are part of Isabella ' s serious side— also a choice sense of humor. Writing letters to husband, John, and getting roomie, Mitzi Woodard, off to be married have well preoccupied her senior year. • CAROL ANN BACHER. Bache is the blue-eyed, golden-haired Juliet of 1 945 with a flare for the dramatic. A vital force in the Drama Department Experimental Theater program, she ' s headed for the Fort Worth Playhouse. Last year Bache ' s fad was bare feet; this year it ' s ballet slippers, and though she wears sloppy joes on campus, she ' s the height of fashion outside our gates. • HELEN BARBOUR. Helen has a tremendous interest in people and things and the amaz- ing gift of tying them together; you ' ve guessed it— psychology. As a fervent major in the field, she has tried for four years to integrate the personalities of Ethel Moore seniors, despite our tendency to dis- regard the social field structure. • BETSY BARKER. If you ' d like to buy a ticket to the Home E. tea. Bet will sell you five. Miss B. is on expert on how to study efficiently at four-thirty a.m. She turns a mean omelette and is crazier than six Freshmen put together when she ' s 24

•JANE BRUCE •JOAN BUTNER •CAROL CASTNER O Of =3 o Z o u LU z z X o • JOHANNA BECKER. Imperturbable, efficient Jo remains ever in our minds as the guardian angel, arbitrator, and pacifier of the motley crew on third. Capable of saving a stitch in time, adept at balancing any budget, Jo ' s future spells Domesticity in any man ' s language. • JOAN BOURG. Underneath that long and luscious black hair is a sizeable amount of grey matter which intermittently gives out with profound observations or crisp dry humor. This year Joan took over the president ' s office in the Union, and there has set her animated and driving personal ity to work. We won ' t forget her lighter side either, those evenings of tearing down the Ave., the modern dance fever, the cake and cokes, and talks at midnight. « JANE BRUCE. Jane is unique. As an inhabitant of Texas she believes in the rest of the country, and as a math major she discounts her ability to add and subtract, multiply and divide, and brush her teeth with a slide rule. It ' s easy to list Jane ' s qualities of generosity, sin- cerity, and understanding. • JOAN BUTNER (the botany major who walked into a poison oak patch). Sweet and generous in her manner of handling hall problems as president, Joan ' s seriousness, whether she ' s in slacks or a formal, is betrayed by the twinkle in her eyes. If she ' s not working in the lab or guarding at the pool, she ' s watching the fish in her third floor porch aquarium. CAROL CASTNER. Little 26
