N 9 c 7 My W f .fs VINCENT ATTISANI After a high school course in French some of us merely know how to say Je ne sais pas, ibut this chap has actually learned something else about the language. He is liable to be any- thing from a French professor to a golf professional. Maybe he can combine the two, and mix some French with his golf when English proves inadequate.

ANNA CLAIRE ATLAS When Anna sells ladies' clothes, at least we hope they're not some other lady's clothes.

'TS 9 W It W J' NATALIE ONLEY BATTERSON Virginia Here's a living example of the proverbial good thing in a small package. Nat may be small in stature but not so in brains, ambition, and ability. Who can deny that it takes both brains and ambition to asfpire to studying journalism and then go to Europe? And as to ability-well, just glance at the varied types of Nat's numerous activities.

HOWARD BENEDIKT Hamilton Howie is another of that limited few who can partake in numer- ous activities and many responsibilities, and at the same time maintain a perfect scholarship club record. He has kept silent concerning his plans for later life, but when we couple his hobbies, which are, the theatre, the piano and listening to jazz orchestras, with the fact that he has already acquired quite a reputation through playing in a private orchestra. Howie's future fame seems self-evident.
