anna brinsfield dorothy brookharf anna balvin brinsfield A COMBINATION OF THE FINE char¬ acteristics of geniality and sincerity make anna an outstanding girl. personality, beauty, and good mind make her well- rounded and fit for her leadership which she displayed so ably when she was pres¬ ident of the class in ' 39. because she does not lack for ability she can attack a new job unflinchingly and master it. yet serious¬ ness of college has not always completely captivated anna. haven ' t you seen her watch nervously from her dorm window for a blue dodge? mary helen davis IF LIFE WERE A BIG basketball game and helen were playing center, she ' d be happy, many cubits of energy have been sacrificed by her for the pure enjoyment of athletic contest, this interest and abil¬ ity led her to join the a. a. and to initiate cheers in the gym, and won for her the title of best girl athlete for 1940. hard work and that pull-upward attitude for the varsity basketball squad made her col¬ leagues choose her their captain, when winter comes, you are destined to hear helen say, i hope there is much ice this year, for i want to go skating. helen davis charles elliott dorothy Virginia brookhart DOT HAS been most active in col¬ lege life—especially socially. can ' t you remember three lads? in the organiza¬ tions she has been a member of the a. a., Christian association, grange, dra¬ matic club, and baglean-carneans. her out¬ standing work has been, however, in the orchestra and glee club. she has ever been faithful with her violin and has been for four years a member of the girls ' glee club, during her junior year she was stu¬ dent council member. very quiet and probably not so impressive until her latent powers are tactfully drawn out, dorothy then shines in a new light. Charles lee elliott VERSATILE, WITTY, FAST-THINKING charley gets things done in fine sfyle even if they are sometimes late, while at s. t. c. he has been an active member of the sophanes players, appearing in three productions, achievement key winner, queen ' s escort in ' 39, and a member of the soccer squad, scholastically he has repeatedly ranked among the first, an ab¬ sorbing hobby of his is scribbling poetry and twaddle. many of you have frowned on him when reading sockratease. •( 22 ).
