1 A HELEN CLAIRE NISS ln the fall of l945 a little happiness was bestowed on Downer from M. U. S. in the form of cz blue-eyed blonde with a wide grin and large dimples. The bearer of this unusual name leads a confusing lite at her home on Pine Lake and at her aunt's apartment in Mil- waukee. Happy leads a gay life and has had many colorful parties at her house on Pine Lake. She has a knack of ac- quiring orchids for any conceivable occasion. This adds to the style of her beautiful wardrobe. Though she fares well in her studies, she admits she is no great mathematical genius. Hap is a member of the Heiliger Huegel Ski Club. MARGARET NELSON The head oi the red head league at Downer, is Margaret, a native Nebras- kan, now living in Viroqua, Wisconsin. This quiet girl is always ready to help someone or loan money to atfriend. One of her outstanding qualities is her willingness to listen to others talk and to be interested in what they are say- ing. She claims her greatest weakness is her love for food but putting off home- work runs a close second. Margie's hobby is collecting records, ranging from classical to swing. She enjoys all music but prefers semi- classical or popular. Her favorite is Begin The Beguine . Although she is shy, her unexpected humor in dif- ficult or discouraging situations always brightens the picture. We never failed to try our Voices at

A boarder Hyhi her phomore year, she commutedf bet artland and Downer her last Q70 years. This perhaps explains her pet aversion to back seat drivers and nervous board stampers. Riding, hunt- ing, and fishing rank high among her summer activities, and she may often be found breaking in pupils and horses at the St. lohn's summer camp. ln some of her rare quiet moods she likes to settle down with a book, usu- ally about medicine, for she hopes to become a doctor. ALICE-MARIE MORRISON Pequeia, one of the more enthusiastic seniors. proved her athletic ability by making class, White, and varsity teams after entering Downer as a freshman. ln addition to her Seminary school spirit, Tiny is faithful to many week-end friends. Tiny is easily recognized by recurrent cries of berserk and her friendly smile. Although she is some- times dignified, her love of play makes us like her most. Tiny spent four years in Glee Club and practices singing at every opportunity. Her winning person- ality led to her election as Dance Club president, Council representative, and monitor in Glee Club.

NYLA NOREM Nyla, one of the blonde girls of the Senior Class, came to Downer in her freshman year from the Fox Point School. She is very hospitable and always loves to have people at her house. Anyone who goes there is bound to have fun eating and laughing, be- cause Nyla is the kind of girl who has a contagious laugh. She has been a staunch member of Glee Club since her freshman year. Nyla loves sports and has been on numerous class teams during her four years at the Sem. Many a girl has been entertained in the senior room during noon hour by Nyla's jokes and stories. We are all sure that Nyla will be just as big a success in life as she has been in school. LU ANNE WANVIG OLSEN Lu Anne, who prefers to be called Lanny, is known for her long fair hair, cut in a beautiful page boy. She's full of vim and vigor and seems to enjoy spending all her spare time out of doors. Riding and swimming being her favo- rite sports, she can be found at the Fox Point Club during vacation prac- ticing diving, in which she excels. Lanny has an outstanding collection of miniature horses: one can easily under- stand why she is interested in them because she has a horse of her own named Captain Courageous, or Kippy. Lanny's life ambition is to become a doctor, but if lack is still around, we wonder. our Friday noon traveling lunches. Az'
