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.

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. Chick aspires to Bennington for the following year, and we know that she'll be glad to return to her beloved East. (P r4 a 6ce.

Jean Campbell I love a teeming wit as I love my nourishment. Behold the director of our TATLER board. As vice president in charge of publications. Jean has astounded us all with her cool effciency and the seemingly effortless manner by which she accomplishes her job (We have concluded that she has saved up her store of energy for hilarious attempts at gym push-ups”). This is the more serious side of Jean’s nature. Ordinarily her naive humor brings much enjoyment to the seniors. In chemistry lab, whenever we hear the cry, “Quick, Jean, turn down the flame! we rush to the farthest comer of the room to await the explosion that we know will soon come from her test tube. This is just her notice to the school that she is present, for as usual, she has forgotten to sign the attendance slip. Jean has not yet decided upon the college she will attend, but wherever she goes, she will be as much fun and as well liked as she has been at Northrop.
