Patricia Donovan Laugh ami tbr worlJ laughs with you.”—Wilcox Patty is a changed woman this year. She seems to have an irresistible fascination for the opposite sex. Besides men, though, she has many other interests and ambitions. Patty has decided that a medical career is what she wants. Our bean pole” is a sports enthusiast too, and if it weren’t for her height, we wouldn't have as good a basketball reputation as we have. She’s one of the few bathtub babies—that is, she’s won several medals for her excellence in swimming. She is also one of the more advanced skiers in the class, for just recently she accomplished Kenwood Hill. This fall Patty started to knit and she amazed us with her many pairs of argylcs and an intricately designed ski sweater. Next year Northrop will miss Patty’s horse-like” laugh and her witty remarks. We all know that she will have a wonderful time at college, because she is so friendly and always manages to see the lighter side of things. P. S. Be careful Patty! Too many peaches, prunes, and alfalfa aren’t good for the complexion. ’46 Public Relations ’49 Chairman of Library Committee ’48, ’49 World Affairs Club ’49 Glee Club ’48, ’49 Athletic Committee '48, ’49 Varsity Basketball ’46 Varsity Softball 15

Barbara Damon And unextinguished laughter shakes tlx’ ikies. If there is one girl in the senior class of 1949 whom the seniors will never forget, it’s Barbara Damon. Her fits of uncontrollable laughter brighten the Senior Room immeasurably while her tales of woe experienced on the school bus arc forever brightening our day. Barbara is the only girl in the senior class who forgets everything before an exam, she claims, and still can get an A” on it. She is very much interested in and enthusiastic about sports, and she’s at her best when the World Series is being played off. At that time she’s in a trance until something serious happens—a French class maybe. Barbara has helped a great deal with the business work of the Taller. She is also a member of the Senior Glee Club, and is always willing to promote an idea, an operatta, or something great. Barb will always come out on top no matter what happens so, Here’s to you Barb.” '46 Jr. Glee Club '48, ’49 Sr. Glee Club ’47 Entertainment Committee ’48, 49 Publications Committee 14

Diane Dreves Needs not the foreign aid of ornament, But is when unadorned, adorn'd the most. —Thomson Although Diane joined us only last year, she has rapidly become a loyal and friendly member of the class. Many arc the times her keen ability in the mathematical sciences has come to the aid of one of her distressed classmates. Riding and tennis arc two of her favorite pastimes, but sailing is her foremost love. None of us will be surprised to sec her, sometime in the future, skipping one of Uncle Sam’s biggest cruisers, having been the first woman commissioned an admiral in the U. S. fleet. Diane’s collected coolness is completely obliterated when she joins a senior room discussion, whether it be on the subject of politics or of men. She is well-known for her staunch opinions on both subjects. The whole Senior Room is thankful for her vivid, mirthful personality which is apparent only after her shy reserve has been abolished. Diane’s amiability and calmness, coupled with her above-average intelligence, will aid her in attaining any goal she may set for herself in the following years. ’48. 49 Glee Club ’49 World Affairs Club ’49 School Procedure Committee 16
