• FRANCES DEARING • AUDREY DITMER • BETTY DODSON sympathies. A happy choice for Fran is her sociology major. • AUDREY DITMER. Audie was kind of scarce this year, what with mothering little tots in primary grades. But we shall always remem- ber those famous Ditmer ' s doughnuts, that whirlwind method of dealing bridge, and that exotic Santa Clous act at our Christmas party 1 944. « BETTY DODSON. The Eighth Wonder of the World ate the ant powder by mistake and in her senior year at that. Dottie is a Junior transfer from Boulder, Colorado, and an art major. She olso likes music, classical and otherwise. • JUDY DREYFUS. There goes Judy off to audit an eight o ' clock language class— the lure of the foreign has gotten under her skin. We remember her hopes for long hair, and the huge Mexican hat on her wall. Could that gold band, third finger left hand mean June, 1 946-Alex? MARJORIE DUFFY. Marge spent one year at Sacramento JC and another at Stanford, and then gave up nursing for the care of children at Toyon. Everyone receives a welcoming smile upon entering the precincts of Duffy ' s Tavern. On week-ends, Duff is off to visit her uncle at San Quentin. That ' s a joke, son — he ' s the warden there. One of Marge ' s favorite pastimes is discussing the merits of Don Blanding. 29

• MARIANNE COOKE • ANN COLE • BARBARA DAVIS • MARIANNE COOKE. Cookie was a Junior transfer from Southern California. She is an art major— even to the creation of tricky coiffures. Her first try at photography was a tremendous success, her roommate, Derry, being the photographic model. Not getting to meals on time was Cookie ' s pet habit. • ANNE COLE. Completely unselfish, always thoughtful, never a passive in-between, v ith stubborn perseverance, full of energy, love of people and good times, Ann is never apathetic tov ords anyone or anything. As OIney ' s No. 1 fire chief she was un- equoled in her attempts to coordinate the group exit in one minute. For a helping hand, call Ann. • BARBARA DAVIS. Whether sipping coffee in the tea shop or pondering over all those cultural English books at her desk, you can always spy Barb by that twirling the curl habit of hers. She ' s more than acquainted with Chaucer, Shake- speare, and the rest of the boys, but she always finds time to show her enthusiasm for swimming, tennis, ballet, and peeking into china shop windows. • FRANCES DEARING. Here is the aristocrat of Ethel Moore ' s senior class. Fran is a conservative but her practical mind leads her every day to new ideas. She is a bit of a sophisticate, poised and self-contained. She is sensitive to people and generous with her 28

• MARY ANN ELLISON • RUTH ETTELSON iMARY CRAIG FINDEISEN CO uu Z - a UJ X • HELEN DYER. Coco — our strawberry blond with the large blue eyes, can usually be found in the Science Building or at the stables. We ' ll always remember her for her gentle proctoring, the time her horse won a prize, and the time she got all dressed up— nylons and all-for that phone call from Scotland. • MADELEINE EBBESEN. Quiet and poised, efTicient and busy, Madeleine proved that college is worth the effort by taking a couple of years off and then coming back for more. Outside O.T. assignments, she divides her life be- tween the weaving lab and the yearbook office, directing her busy staff with a firm hand. Most pleasurable diversion at present seems to be cultivating feuds with her friend and inspiration, Mr. Ball. • MARY ANN ELLISON. She ' s the Mary Morsel seen around the Art Building. Her secret loves are music, organ, and the opera, her home state of Washington, and good food. She has unsurpassable talents for waking early, missing lunch, and attracting taxi drivers. She has quick wit, friendly mannerisms, and loyalty plus. • RUTH ETTELSON. Ruth ' s favorite pastime is hovering anxiously over Box 22 at the P.O.; luckily there are only about four deliveries o day, or thyroid or no thyroid, she couldn ' t last. Sunshine is the Mills Hall authority on the Navy. A history major, Ruth contemplates writing her own text, fitting the facts to her knowledge. • MARY CRAIG FINDEISEN. 30
