Now here is a charmer-Long Island sparkle. flavored with just a hit of Boston. ln fact, Agnes is a truly cosmopolitan person: a touch of South of the Border ac- companied hy Lady of Spain. Agnes is perennially on the Dean's List, yet never bookish. Her poise and ease are ever present. whether in leading the IRC or at a Tea Dance. And speaking of Tea Dances, what is the feminine of Casanova? She invariably returns from a V.L.P. with the enthusiastic comment: We really had a marvellous tinielw Optimism is her keynoteg and with this optimism. Agnes will fashion her own future.

One minute you might find her compos- ing another of her hypnotic poems tif she is not racing to beat her extended dead-line with a term-paperl. and the next you might frnd her telling the story of the week to some unsuspecting Freshman. Whether you are looking for some wizard idea with which to astound a professor, or the best way to write a petition to the Dean, Mimi is the one to ask. No one will forget Mimiis troubles with her glasses. or her all-night vigils before exams-and her relief at getting 96 instead of a flunkl And what about Christopher and Lochinvar and the fire-escape in Fresh- man Year?
