BARBARA BOON ln case you ever want to talk about men or sports, just go up to Barby Boon and she'll drop everything and start talking about Bill from Tacoma, or Dick from Neenah. As for sports, Barby pre- fers sailing, swimming, and tennis. Barb is always lots of fun, and very seldom has much to worry about. lt she seems a little excited, it must mean that a grey Dodge iust arrived at school. Barb is always keeping the morale of the boarders at a high level. In case you don't know Barb, you can tell her by her big blue eyes. For her new friends she always has a story to tell about Daniel Boone-her ancestor?? HELEN LOUISE BLOCH lt can never be said that Helen Bloch is not an ardent exponent of good humor, tor she can always be depended upon to appreciate the iests ot others. When laughter resounds on second floor in the dorm, it is more than probable that one of her witticisms is in the making. A product of Chicago, Helen's pride is her long, brown hair. She de- monstrated her athletic talents by swing- ing a mean bat and so attained a posi- tion on the baseball team.

NANCY ELIZABETH BELL Two years at the Sem have made Nancy, who comes from Oshkosh, a favorite of everyone. She is gifted with a beautiful singing voice and plans to continue her voice lessons upon gradua- tion. ln the summer if Nancy isn't found speeding along the highways, she can be found playing golf. She is an expert golfer and has trophies to prove it. She startled everyone this year by cut- ting her hair to a bare three inches. However, the results were gratifying and no one was happier than Nancy herself. Nancybelle, as she is called, is well-known for her ability to con- sume quantities of food with no after effects. She is especially fond of Hershey bars and cokes. SALLY CAROLYN BELL Our gal Sal with the shiny brown bangs hails from Oshkosh, Wisconsin, where she lived until coming to Downer as a sophomore. She thrives on Clements hot fudge sundaes in a tall glass, please and loves bridge. lf you hear a voice raised way down at the end of the corridor, it's probably Sally en- thralled as usual with an exciting game. Her summers are spent at Eagle River, Wisconsin, or at home where she loves to drive the family Plymouth station wagon. Sally claims she has no par- ticular talent and no plans for the future beyond a desire to go away to college. She will long be remembered for her bouncing step and bright smile. to think over our four eventful years

Filled with vigor, she's ever ready for a good time. RACHEL MCALLISTER BURCH Rachel joined us at the Sem in her sophomore year after attending New Trier High School in Winnetka.
