JOAN BALCH “Did I show you my illustration?” Illustration Department Pingpong, swim- ming, tennis, riding, football, wrestling — she'll take you on for all. When not tracking down a new story for her collection, dashes off some fine verse. A whispery voice— quick on the uptake. PHYLLIS BORISON Usually found in Painting Studio. Painting Department Intellectually minded, or so those tortoise shell specs would have us think. Accelerated through edging the regulars by one and a half years. Smartly attired on all occasions. Big wedding date soon. Small face, smaller voice. BARBARA BARRY Personality itself — Frankie Carle isn’t R. I.’s only Costume Department pianist — Barry gives out with Boogie or symphony on the spot —An erstwhile thespian, she backs up every production that plays across the footlights — A smile for every girl; two for every man — Husky voice— WALTER CHARBONEAU Mechanical Design Department Easy going, affable, never says no — writes lurid detec- tive stories featuring supersleuth, Gaguffingthag, of world fame—Pool shark from way back—good business man, too — Stiff competition for city slickers any day.

JEAN CORNET There is only one proof of ability — action! Jean Costume Department adores pickles, history classes, pickles, first place in din- ner line, and pickles. A perfectionist in design, her cos- tumes are asymphony. Proud possessor of one extremely bad fault — not only does she always have her work done, (disgusting enough) but done early. KATHLEEN (Kay) NICHOLS ERBAN Interior Architecture Department “Wait a minute ‘til I read the Bulletin Board” — The little mother, Kay, set our record by being the first Frosh to marry. Always just “happens” to have handy a picture of Chick or Dick; she’s not fussy — “those green eyes with their soft lights’— ANTOINETTA (Toni) DEL SANTO Textile Engineering Department You mean you haven't tasted any of Toni’s cooking? The very essence of resourcefulness, she always remem- bers to bring the bottle opener — Goes tearing down to Math with a beseeching, “Mr. Hurd, save me from these awful boys!” The ray of light in aiding woeful “‘last- minute-homework-doers”. Velvet brown eyes— DONALD HAGGERTY Mechanical Design Department Stull in his honeymoon daze. We don’t see much of Don — he makes for home in every spare minute. Tries to overcome his Van Johnson voice by donning severe horn-rimmed glasses— Good authority says he’s a superb structural steel designer. Next ambition, twins!
