sn Q .- Q it fx P0 . . da, . ,a 'Ng 22 BIILDRED MAYER. This brunette is literally the queen of the dancing girls, judging by her gay appearance at our numerous Friday night shindigs. Phi Sigma is graced by her presence Qremember her as a little girl pledgeePj and her quiet evenings at home, if existent, are divided between listening to Bee- thoven and boogie woogie. Glamor Girl BETTY ANN NICCANN copped the title of Miss Silhouette in l94l, and Queens College Queen in 1942 right from under the nose of some thousand co-eds, and she's just the girl to do it. Betty's something of an all round girl, and her interests led her to be a participant in the varsity show, a basketball player, a member of A Cappella Choir, and secretary to Alpha Omega Sorority. KAY MCGARVEY is the high kids' answer to a prayer. An English major she hopes to teach when she finishes at Q.C. Soft-spoken, with a definite sense of humor, and a perpetual twinkle in her eye, she can make even The Idylls of the King fascinating to her students. KATHLEEN lxlCCiREEVY, a choir boy face-but a pixie at heart. This fast-talking Victory Girl has a lilt in her voice and a preoccupation about Irish little people as far as her English themes are concerned. The boys at Q.C. don't know what she's made of--never got near enough to find out.

' 1 f f3 HOPE LUNIN has a gift of gab, and a mind of her own, both of which she has been able to use to advantage in her sociology work, where she is taking honors. Hope's extra-curricular diversions run to business managing Silhouette, working on Crown circulation, and being president of her sorority, Iota Alpha Pi. FRANK MACK is one of the happiest fellows that ever hit QC. Always has a smile and a good word for everybody. Mainstay of the Knights for two years, he has the fascinating habit of drawing hearts and arrows and I-love-you-trulies all over his eco notes. Shakespeare, Keats or any of the many English literuses hold the interest of English majors, and this member of a dwindling and valiant species of male, ROBER1' lNlAIN. But far from being an ivory-tower scholar Bob mixes the social with the schol- astic as an active member of Pipe and Bowl fraternity. lXlARTIN AIARKOXVITZ is characteristically gloomy, even when he is busy doing a snappy conga. Renowned in intellectual circles for his success as a historian, he has also engaged in almost every intramural sport on the campus for the glory of Alpha Phi Omega. His susceptibilities are colds and a certain brunette.

MARTIN MCHUGH. Mad as a George Price Cartoon, withal a gentleman and a scholar. The only Political Science major who got along without throwing it. Competent with a needle Qnote self darned corderoysj this Phi Omega Alpha funny man will go places -if only one of the more elite bars on 3rd Avenue. lVIIlVII MENDELOYV has a gleam in her eye, thirty credits in his- tory, and a desire to be a teacher. Now and again she has been known to warble a tune with and without the Glee Club. And, going from art to the woild outside, Mimi has done her bit also for the Queens College Committee for Democratic Defense. A conscientious student, GERTRUDE NIENDELSOHN gave her all for the Bios-Logos Society, is interested in all forms of speech, especially correction work with youngsters. Has the unique distinction of talking her way into the National Hospital for Speech Disorders-a feat which was impossible even for mem- bers of the college faculty. A timid girl of varied accomplishments, EDITH MERTL under- stands and speaks five different languages-English, French, Italian, Spanish, and Czechoslovakian. In addition she is interested in biology, literature, art and music. Sewing is just one of her many hobbies, and more than once Edith was seen wearing some tasty little number she whipped up herself.
