Elizabeth Brown Kisses are a better fate than wisdom. From amid the host of seniors hovering over the radiator of an early mom, Chickie may be discovered in that region emitting a series of loud squeaks. Her first greeting consists of, “Did you get any mail yesterday? Did anyone call you up last night? It has long been a controversial question as to whether Chickie is really dumb or not. The ones who uphold the former view, point to her “inane questions in class and her credulous belief in “anythin' that is told her. The other side also has a strong foundation for its beliefs. They point to her intellectual reading, her sincere interests in music and poetry, and her obvious ability at the piano. Ever since her entrance in Northrop, she has been a valuable member of the Glee Club. Not the least of her accomplishments is the ability to raise one eyebrow in an expression often defined as “coy.

Jean Bonell I won a noble fame.” Jean's ability to acquire rights to the seniors' pet red chair is a constant mystery to us all. We marvel at her calm serenity as she quietly studies in the midst of the usual preclass rush. Terminating two successful years in the Senior Glee Club, she became its president this year. Her slim loveliness and constant good humor make her a welcome member of the class at all times. Jean's luxuriant hair can hardly pass without mention, for there are few who do not envy it. Certainly her quiet, easy going nature will make her popular and happy at the college of her choice.

Pauletta Callahan Four be the things I'd been better without, love, curiosity, freckles, and doubt. An Irish temper, long eyelashes, a motto of “I'll try anything once, for fun, is in brief, Pauletta. Her lightning calculations and sarcastic wit have stood her in good stead around the bridge table or in the general discussions of the Senior Room 'arguing being Paul's favorite indoor sport). Callahan's obstinancy, extreme moods, and alto monotone have driven us all to thoughts of padded cells and suicide, but in spite of all the evidence, Paul more than redeems herself by a certain whimsical sense of humor. Although her authoritative spirit is rarely shown, when Paul does give a command, it is carried out with awe. Her Millay-like free verse, blues records, and spirit will always remain a senior room tradition.
