i L ,gi gd X QS? LEONORE CA1Ni1's flashing smile is a familiar sight in the music building where she spends most of her college hours. An excellent pianist, even playing other people's music, Leonore has a yen to write a little of her own - and wants to go to graduate school to learn more about how it's done. JEANNE CAPLIN is an Economics major and a member of the Economics Club. She plans to teach. Jeanne's pupils will find it difficult to fall asleep with such an energetic instructor, if only because she'd probably beat them over the head if they show the slightest sign of boredom. Dark beauty, quiet charm, a gentle manner- these are the qualities which bring forth superlatives whenever JULIE CASA is around. We'll forgive her for having two majors, one's History, and the other is in the army, because her agreeableness and sincerity make her one of the top favorites on the campus. There's a rumor to the effect that ESTHER CHAIKEN can sit on her hair if she takes a notion, it's that long. But for the most part she keeps it neatly wrapped around her head in braids. Esther is a Phi Tau Alpha gal, an economics student, and an attender of Eco Club soirees.

Q5 4 BX kkgjb There are very few QC students who missed noticing the carrot-topped lNlARION BURG, even though she spent most of her time in college around the science buildings on the shady side of the campus, messing around the biology and chem labs. When she emerges from the halls of science, Marion usually heads for the athletic field. RUTH BURG is right beside her sister Marion when it comes to sports. She has a mean batting average in softball, and is no slouch when it comes to paddle tennis either. She switched majors from biology to Home Eco., and is one of the active members of the Home Economics Club. FRANK BURKE is one half of the famous Pipe and Bowl Burke twins, the other half of which is now languishing in the Marine Corps. A nifty dancer and all around good fun, he participates wholeheartedly in the social whirl both at Queens and out- side. Though he has covert ambitions of other things he will probably join his brother in Uncle Sam's armed forces. Red headed, lanky, raw-boned JOHN BURNS is either a typical Irishman or a typical hill-billy. He has a slow, but crackling wit, a languid air and a pair of the longest legs on the campus. A good Pipe and Bowl man, he has a social Hare, but has also proved himself a steadfast and true scientist in the Chemistry department.

it Qi!! SHIRLEY CHAMBERS. This is the red-haired committee girl of Alpha Omega who leaves Queens Collegians guessing about that inscrutable look in her eye. As her English courses added up, she graduated from saddle shoes to spectators and lush suits and caused many a freshman to murmur, purpose- ful perfection without apparent effort. English major and Dean's Lister, MARGERY lX lAY CHANyS extra- curricular doings tend to the musical. She works with the A Cappella Choir, the Chorus, the Women's Glee Club, and is frequently called upon to solo. Also Margery has the rather amazing habit of tearing out pages she needs, because she dislikes carrying books. Silent, handsome, full of fun, JERRY CHIESA clicks with every- one. Though baseball is jerry's favorite sport, he is an all round athlete, who can compete with anyone. Arthur Murray never taught him dancing in a hurry. He thinks dances are swell- to watch. He majored in Poly Sci, wants to enter Civil Service, and is at present dragging down 1521 a day once a month. Although it looks like setting-up exercises from a distance, BEA CHORNAYS manual gymnastics are merely attempts to describe what her newest dress looks like. She buys two papers every day, reads them assiduously to her friends, buys cookies like mad, and schooltimes, dabbles in economics. 'ilk 22, gi , ka mozocv
