VIOLET (Vi) MCCLUSKEY A short drink of water — Vi McCluskey— In level seven ‘til it’s dusky— Illustration Department “Homework done?” says I to she— I show her one—‘Well, uh— I did three—” Three sketches, that is— Dark hair, small voice, and what a whiz! HARRIOT (Bunny) PURINTON Landscape Architecture Department ‘ ‘gad! We skied all over Mt. Washington this week- end—” so small, could hide in her own projects—spends tough summers sailing at Marblehead — Manhater thru and thru (‘til the next one!). SHIRLEY (Kit) MOONEY Kit’s specialty, the very detailed and intricate fabric Textile Department designs. Since Tom’s return, she has become the model domestician. Makes tracks for the apartment in all spare time. Always on hand to root with her cheer-leader hus- band — Her sad fate to be allergic to gardenias! SALLY SHAW “Hey Sal, what’s wrong with this? Tell me where to Industrial Design Department go from here—” If it’s a bit of good judgment or advice you need, she’s the gal. A true advocate of Spike Jones and Danny Kaye, and a singular talent for “‘le mot juste”. “Well, by George!”’—

MARY ELIZABETH (Polly) KRAFT Interior Architecture Department Never an occasion arises but Polly is there with her “ist”. Beats a verbal path between Cornell and Pinkham Notch. Miraculously manages to just make the dead- line — Always on board with a lengthy repertoire of choice ditties. Female version of Bing Crosby. Likes em six feet four and over— GENEVIEVE (Vee) LYND Textile Engineering Department Executive Lynd, we call her, or more often, just Red- head! Perpetual motion — always on the run to a meet- ing, skating lessons, chemistry lab, visit with the Dean, a pingpong game — Favors the lunch table as her home- work site. Is there someone who hasn't heard about Maine? Leaning for Butch haircuts, especially Wisconsin brand— SHIRLEY LOTHER A potential concert singer, Shirley is a reliable of the Illustration Department Student Talent Shows. Spends her spare time on the tennis courts, also a crack swimmer. Has managed to down some weird concoctions in her day — Perhaps a bit late on the uptake. Faraway eyes— THELMA BARAM MANBY Marked trail from Woonsocket all through school. Costume Department Costume specialist, extraordinaire. Favorite hobby. . . not attending classes. Mirror of latest hairdo vogues. Wasted no time in approaching altar after her last semester. Uh-huh!

ELIZABETH (Betty) SHIPPEE Industrial Design Department Blithe Spirit from the Johnnycake country. Volatile expressions for every occasion. Says Betty, “My life is an open book, but some of the pages are stuck together!” Has serious spells delegated to writing poetry and such. Amber eyes, forever— ERNA STRASSER Landscape Architecture Department Practically a permanent fixture at her drawing board. Brain of the Physchology class, but could stand improve- ment in the culinary department. A continental tang to her speech — the Mystery Woman. MATHEW (Matt) SIOK “Gonna crush dat rock, boys!» — the Orson Welles of the Sculpture Studio. Firmly believes that Man is Woman’s greatest asset. Pillar of the Camera Club, and favorite model? Anna Tefft, of course! Determined jaw— Sculpture Department ANNA TEFFT Textile Department Ann caused a mild furor this year by chopping off her renowned long tresses. Upholds the one about “still waters running deep” — Dreams up some bizarre sub- ject matter for her textiles. Standby model of the por- trait class. Also “Knows a boy named Matt”—
