MABLE SIBLEY Onamia, Minnesota CATHERN ULLOM O ' Neil, Nebraska T%Tow, let us introduce Sibbie: this litle girl comes from Minnesota where larks sing bass. Yes and canaries too. However, we forgive her all the damage done to personal property for she knows her bird seed and gravel and that ' s not all. Just ask her how to get compensation when you ' re on Public Health; or if she ' s not too tired and you ' re broke she ' ll be your barber, and how! She can cut capers on anyone ' s head. Her own curly hair is the secret envy of us all. Sib really should have gone in for grand opera for the heart-breaking way in which she can render In a Little Spanish Town will make you gnash your teeth and bring tears to your eyes. C urEj we ' ll go to the movies, the library or whatnot. Cathern isn ' t Irish — no not much, but anyway it suits us. She likes antiques, a green room and pink clothes — particularly one article of dress that is exceedingly pink. Everyone likes her from the mightiest down — - even her classmates Peculiar, isn ' t it? Judging from her steady capacity for black coffee, she ' d make a good living ad for Maxwell House and in her Probie Pageant costume, she would do for the painted one as well. Cathern is the only one of us that can impress the officer patients to the extent that they write nice letcers to the T. S. O. about her. Thank goodness one of us is a good nurse Twenty-nine

ELIZABETH EVENSON Cholvin Manor Wilton, Wisconsin TTjROBir days in Quarters Seven! We would all congregate in Betty ' s room and she would don her licle orange apron and make cinnamon toast for the crowd. She could stir up fudge out of nothing at all, and what fudge. She even greased the plate with cold cream one time when butter was scarce, but it must have been a good brand for we are all living and well. Those cold nights when we all paraded out to the sleeping porch and found our beds short- sheeted, we have a faint idea that quite often Betty was the instigator. Betty is frank, vivacious and fun-loving; popu- lar with us all and we will miss her when she goes On to Wisconsin. ' MARY VIRGINIA EVENSON Cholvin Manor Wilton, Wisconsin Thkre ' s no in between with Gin. She either goes to bed at eight P. M. or one A. M., but she is up with the milkman! (No! Not out with him.) She starts her good deed for the day by dragging some of her lazy neighbors out of bed. Come on kids — this is Thursday. Yes, ail day! Snap into it! Booze, it ' s your time to take the laundry over. Gin believes in getting her fifteen-day sick leave yearly. Measles, pneumonia, she ' ll try any- thing once. Remember how we visited her on old 2S ? XVll have to hand it to Gin for her good com- mon sense and her unfailing sense of humor that has brought her up smiling from many trying situations. Twenty-eight

ALISON F. YOUNG 11234 South Church Street Chicago, Illinois CATHERINE BAYA Jacksonville, Florida Oang! Bang! Put on your steel -lined raccoon ' cause here comes A. Y. from — , but we ' ll let you guess! No Virginian ever loved his native State as well as she does Chicago. A. Y. ' s plenty good with a typewriter and it you want to walk, skate, go sightseeing or just to the movies, she ' ll always go too. She believes in signs — Picture ahead, kodak as you go. Her snaps of Walter Reed days would be the envy of any A. S. N. Brown-eyed conductors — Heart Throbs! But best of ail was a phone call or a date with Cadoodle! A. Y. ' s a good nurse and an excellent student but we like her because she is one of our eleven and a good sport on all occasions. ' T ' ll put it under the bed! I absolutely do not want that table and I can ' t even give it away. You sec, Catherine wants a neat room with no useless articles cluttering and spoiling it ' s simplicity and beauty. That ' s just like Catherine herself, she ' s not a fussy person and her wants are few, but, unlike most of us, she has that admir- able trait of knowing what those wants arc, and she usually gets them. You arc indeed privileged if you have ever attended a session in Catherine ' s room when she is holding forth, with great oratory, upon the merits, or demerits, of the most trivial matter. Your time was well spent and you ' ll remember those merry hours as highspots of your student days. Thirty
