•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

► 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

• GLORIA CHEN • HERLINDA CHEW • BETTY JANE CHU CHING girl with long hair by day, sophisticated with up-sweep by night, indispensable at the Office of Record, Cos has often put her math major to use in bridge tournaments. Her hobby: collecting inanimate elephants; her senior year delight: making pottery in the ceramics workshop. • GLORIA CHEN. Never let it be said that Gloria shirks her academic duties. But when she inevitably reaches the point where she cannot stand the sight of a book, she becomes a human dynamo, chasing people with a camera, pounding the piano, or going on her frequent shopping sprees. To regenerate energy, she takes afternoon naps. • HERLINDA CHEW. Tampa is one of those people who can read a French book as fast as you can read an English one. Yes, indeed, a linguist at heort plus being an innovator of a brand new system— that of changing her major as second semester Senior. Fur- thermore, a wonderful flare for sewing has she— Rumpelstiltkin has nothing on her. Always ready with that sunny smile, she is neatness, charm, and sincerity perfected. • BETTY JANE CHU CHING. A beauty from Hawaii, Betty added the lost C to her name during exam, week and wore orchids for days afterwards. Sports and art combine into interests, for she ' s a golfer, swimmer, and photographer. Her interior decorating will be put to much practical use, probably to hubby ' s delight. 27
