Inevitably, Alan's is the en- trance accompanied by a laugh, a witty comment, and a huge bang, made more obvious by his physical and mental agility- witness a concocted football play or a cunning play on words. Garbs is naturally jovial and jovially natural. His candidness, his ability to organize, his ex- plosive and infectious humor have made him a very special senior. He is always laughing, for he has an infinite deal of wit.

It has been said that eyes are the mirror of the soul. Betsi's deep green almond-shaped eyes reflect her thoughts and emo- tions. She is a no-nonsense girl whose unassuming manner masks her natural and enviable talents. She enjoys being sur- rounded by beautiful things and he r appearance demonstrates this. Betsi possesses a wry yet whimsical sense of humor which creates an interesting diversion for an appreciative audience. A woman who has a taste of music, painting, or architecture, is like one who has another sense. 23
