MARY IANE BUMBY Mary lane, or Bum for short, came to Downer from Ripon in eighth grade. She can always carry on an enthusiastic conversation about Ripon and Green Lake, Where she spends her summers. Burn is usually ready for a swim and has been very active in sports making many class teams. Mary lane may be heard saying, Oh honestly, whenever anything irritates her. She loves to talk about her collie puppy, Peter, who is generally in the dog house. Mary is never seen without a certain ring or her sunglasses which she even wears to movies so she can see better. 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. That year she was elected secretary ot the class. She has been in Glee Club as well as dramatics at the Seminary. An honor student, Rachel is known for her perfect French accent.

Come summer, Rachel is busy teaching swim- ming at Camp 'O-Tahn-Agon. Rachel will leave two things behind her when she graduates: her pet aversion, writing themes, and the thing she will miss most-seventh period Friday. more money for the Community Fund than

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. Interested in art and music, Helen can often be found either sketching or at- tending a concert.

She is our A.A. president, and has done a wonderful job in this office. She 'was advertising manager for the Crest in her junior year and has made every team since she came to the Sem. Carpie lives way out in Fox Point, but we envy her tor the interesting neighbor- hood in which she resides. The pride of the Bed Team, Carpie can be seen during the games fighting tor her team's victory. She is also one of the in- dustrious seniors who staggered through fourth year Spanish. With Carpie around there's never a dull moment in the senior room. V NANCY ELIZABETH CALLENDER And what grade are you in? That is the question often asked of Nancy Cal- lender, better known as Hon. You all know she's from Kansas City and ar- rived-with her numerous brothers-in her sophomore year. Nancy did a mighty fine job on the B hockey team and was an enthusiastic cheer leader and score keeper for the other gym games. As a bridge player she's not bad, but her antics distract her opponents too much. Hon is quite talented in the artistic line and she put a great deal of work into decorations for the dances. As one of the real wits of the Senior Class she lent much to skits and helped make Senior Day a success. any previous class. We 71 never forget
