Barbara Wahstar Burfnrll Be your bert, and let tbe good timer roll Grads, I'm really on a diet today! are the all too familiar words of Burpie. When one sees this Miss, one is convinced early in the ac- quaintance that she is from the South. Upon further knowledge, we aren't too surprised to hear that she hails from Louisville, which is famous for all its horses. Aside from the fact that she practices every- thing, including yogi at the lively hour of six each morning, Burp is famous for her one-sided- ness and her terrific yen for gooey bubble gum, she is also the school's champ in giggling. She has even taken up the gentle art of blowing smoke rings for her less fortunate associates. This character can create some of her own tense times by her uncanny ability to become engaged. She's lovely. She's engaged. Goodness, what eloer she use???????!

Janet Lnuise Blum Haw far that little candle tlvmwr its beam The Senior Boarding Department wishes to take this opportunity to express its warm apprecia- tion to Blum for the many wonderful parties and tasty tads she has so freely given after the weak, 'Tm starved! Have you anything for the poor and needy? This little bundle of fun won't ever let you for- get that she's from Pittsburgh, the great city of smoke control, and we've all grown used to that merry melody, Hail to Pitt, hail to Pitt, which echoes from Blum's room most any ol' time. She's a loyal supporter of the eyebrow club, but through some accident she lost hers! Did a flashlight break after lights, or were those study halls just too long and boring? As is the ambition of most of the senior class, this rebel is particularly fervid in wanting to go to college anywhere from which planes leave for Chicago.

llarnl Berry Be than the rainbow to the .rtormf of life Carol, our Fingernail Queen of '52, claims Oklahoma City as her home, but vacation rendezvous are held at Oklahoma University. Lit is famous for her diets, and the distinguished honor of President of the Saccarin Club is one of her many accomplishments at M.V.S. Calong with being Mlle. Berry, master at the art of back massagej. When asked about friends at home, her inevit- able answer is, Oh, they're the biggest kings that ever walked. A representative of the Winkie Blinkie Eye Lash Company, Lit states: Our products are guar- anteed to wink and blink-satisfaction or your money back. Those eyelashes have had quite an effect on the opposite sex since Lit's arrival two years ago, and, no doubt, they will con- tinue to blink at the University of Oklahoma this fall.

My goodness, this place is so strange! Yes, another California sunbeam has been added. Kathie resided in Somers only a short time, but long enough to let us all know that she would never be a hindrance to any of her suite's no- torious parties. Some moods, those in which her ray of happiness shone through, were spent by listening to records, or joining the two -Ianets on their safari into the interior Ckilling fliesD. lf you see this 'Akeed dozing off and wonder why she doesn't close her eyes, don't be alarmed. She's simply looking for the thief who took her retainers! Somers hasn't been the same since she became a day student Qafter an emergency appendectomy that kept Miss Sunbeam in bed only three days D.

Juan Carmichael Happy I am, from care I'mfree,' why can't they all he content like nze Well girls, I'm off to Georgetown! So starts and ends another day in the life of Miss Joan C. who can usually be found talking to, about, or with Georgetown. The thousands of blind dates she manages to get for our dances, her cheerful thoughtfulness, plus being one of our most enthusiastic class members, are just examples of why we couldn't manage without her. She's one from whom we could all take lessons on how to regret not the past, live in the present, and fear not the future. Another of those famed dieters so often found at Washington's Institution for Fat Children, her favorite expression is, tomorrow, I'1l diet! If all these tomorrows came, only the skinniest females would grace Foxhall's Female Abode. Altar plans are being made now for this summer. We all know she will make the institution of matrimony a gayer one by her membership!

The reason? The first voice one hears at 7:30 A.M. is none other than that of Miss Sunshine who has been up since the celestial body dawned. Should you hear a flow of German, Latin and or French, see bright blonde hair, or hear certain rahs for Yale, you have discovered this early bird. Also credited to her M.V.'s. record is her literary ability in the field of ballads. Most noted for her motto party makes the world go 'round, Miss Bush has enlivened many study hours with her antics, which have continued into the night. To this senior with the lovely earrings Cfor pierced ears, no less!!D we sayf You're all right, even if we are sleepy because of your ejaculations on nature at such an unearthly hour.
