Barbara Grace Kaplan If you lack the complete biography of B. Kap- lan, which space prevents our printing here, let us send it to you. It is liberal education. Here’s what the critics say : Pitts — ‘Of the many things I have read, this is the most.” Stutz — “For years we considered impulse turbines supreme, but this volume is even better.” Chapter headings in clude: 1. On how the coiffure is attributed to sun, not a commodity. 2. On the driving motives behind visits to cer- tain colleges. 3. On how a harassed P.E. teacher gave advice about lead and energy. 4. On argumentative qualities brought into any question. 3. On how Bobby got along with Mr. Brooks. Many other incidents are included in these vol- umes bound (in mink) to delight even those from Mars.

An M.V.S.- ian of two years standing, her loyalty to Illinois, a strong Yankee accent, and eccentric rides on the Capitol Limited are almost, but not quite, shadowed by the blonde fringe on her pate (which falls in the category of shore hair), Hol- lywoodian sun glasses and very chic nylon un- mentionables. Active? Oh,yes-s-s! Any day you can see her gleefully swat at a tennis ball. Once she got so excited playing volleyball, she sprained her ankle! And w T hat about the attempts up the field house hill and stomach disorders at lunch time? At day’s end (around ll:20-light cut?) Mimi dice: “Bonsoir, mon cheri,” and dies in the next line, to her roommate ' s relief. White team; hockey varsity, III; glee club, III, IV; prep players, IV.

“How do, lavdee! How ' s vour . . . arm? Did you mention New Hampshire? Ever hear of Green- field? You have! Well . . And she’s off on her perennial subject: Greenfield, New Hamp- shire. Hoppie extinguishes herself in the field of athletics and her modes of transportation. As president of the A. A., she runs around in circles, muttering something about posters. She can also continue to be “upset’’ about the certain some- one who pops in for a visit when another some- one is already visiting. And now for this individual’s statement on the news i.e., the Price of Eggs in China. Pushing back her blonde bangs, just newly cut, we hear: I couldn’t quite say, but do you suppose the rain’ll hurt the rhubarb?’’ . . . Thank you, Miss H , of the C and H Construction Co.

Anne Adclc Jarman Do your milkshakes taste like cinnamon? Do you get that peanut butter aroma in your coffee? Seek no farther. ’Tis the culinary concoctions of Pee Wee, who reigns as queen behind the Field House counter. Another of her diversified talents (??) was her membership on the House Council, on which, due to circumstances beyond her control, she is no more. However, she still attends the meetings fairly regularly. “Hey, Pee Wee, what’s your last name?’’ asked Miss Vache one fall day on the hockey field. “Wee, of course,” was the reply. Thus Anne Adele earned her third nickname of “Miss Wee.’’ Ever famous for her wit (and maneuvers) in hockey, she is also a close addict to the “Guard Song,” i.e., “I’ll do what you do . . .’’ White team; hockey varsity, IV; basketball varsity, IV; sports editor of Cellophane , IV.

Laura Lee Larson Beware . . . Beware the Dupont Circle under- pass! It is the haunt of Jou-Jou, the black mon- ster. Any unsuspecting streetcar going inno- cently along on its track is apt to fall into the clutches of this THING. Yea, I say unto you, this is the pet of Laura Lee. It seems hardly pos- sible for such a cosmopolitan to harbor a little beast such as this but she does. In odd mo- ments it even serves as her mode of transporta- tion! — But the first love of Laura’s life is the science or art of pleasing, expressive, or intel- ligible combinations of tones upon a musical instrument. This activity should send her places. Possessed of a fine sense of humor, a sporting dis- position, and willing to try anything once, she should have in store a successful future. Yellow team; prep players, III; art club, III; tennis varsity, III, IV; Optima, IV; Cupola, IV. Dale Winifred Lawrence Dale, a solmn maid. In far off ports her keel was laid: Still true to all things nautical . . . She has come from the land down-under, (Region of dingo and kangaroo) With an interest naught can break asunder (That of a love for Navy blue). A victim from the inoculation Of the held house and the occupation So common to all its dwellers, she Finds it hard to resist the powers-that-be. Abhorring small sisters and sox tinted grimy, She is the one whom the future is not able to stymie. Her rule of life -no mystery: What one is and wills — one still can be.
