(?4 l xCe Benson’s becoming a regular member of the Senior Room in November gave cause for a big celebration. Since that time we have become familiar with her early morning announcement, “Have you studied? I didn’t do a thing.” Her perpetual sense of humor helps her to take our teasing and also makes her a starring character in our class skits. The color(s) and styles of Ruth’s hair have always been a fascination to the seniors, who have also been entertained by her jitterbugging, piano playing, and stomp kicking. Wednesday afternoon usually holds great plans for her. Around Benson, it is inevitable that you should hear, “Why shurr—fella!”—an original expression of comradeship just like our rare, friendly Ruth.

 tdaaui Pris is one of the more individualistic seniors. Many arc the times we catch her standing in front of the Back Home for Keeps” pictures, sadly murmuring ’Tain’t fair!” Belying her words, however, is the fact that Prissy is one of the busier seniors on weekends. Her commentaries on any and all subjects arc priceless. Prissy’s abilities range from making winning shots in hockey and basketball to painting sets for dramatics that would delight the soul of de Mille. We find her an invaluable member of the Senior Room with her naive comments, her understanding of French, and her good bridge hands. Four are the things that add up to Priscilla: demurencss, drama, Deephaven, and doubt. 1 dreamt I was in love again with the one before the last” Chairman, Junior Council—’43 Junior Glee Club—’43 Junior Drama Club—’43 Assistant-Treasurer of League—’44 Treasurer of League—’43 Senior Glee Club—’44 Senior Drama Club—’45, ’46 Varsity Hockey—’43, ’44, ’45, ’46 Varsity Basketball—’43, ’44, ’45 10

'TKtvifawt ‘S'uca date Although Margaret is one of the most recent additions to our class, she is a valuable one, and is known for her willingness to fall in line with almost any project suggested. The dreamy, far-off look and startling remarks of our tall, blonde beauty have caused hilarious outbursts from many a senior. She has a certain fascinating smile and an ideal figure which is the envy of us all. Margo manages to acquire quite a repertoire of rural songs—aside from an alluring sun tan—while working down on the farm.” She is probably the most undecided of all us confused seniors concerning the misty future, but we know that her friendly personality will make her welcome anywhere. 12 Entertainment Committee 46
