MARY DUFF Lawrenceville, Illinois MARIE VIRGINIA FOUCHE Anderson, South Carolina |Oet up girls, it ' s 6:30!! and immediately there arc sis loud thumps on the floor and you know that the Dorm Crew is up. Duffy was so afraid that we would oversleep that she forfeited her extra half hour of sleep each morn- ing to be the official alarm clock. She is such an all right sort of a girl and mere words could never do her justice. We ' ve never heard of anyone yet that doesn ' t like her. If you want to hear Duffy rave ask her to tell you about the night a hail-storm struck her room or the night she was used as a canvass upon which several artists worked! And, Who ' s the greatest fire-chief this country ever saw? 1ould anything be more delightful than to find the charm of the South and the vivacity of the French all in une jeune personne ? Virginia is the social butterfly of the class. When one thinks of her one usually conjures the picture of a rather small dark-haired girl, garbed in a beautiful evening gown, en route to some social function. Virginia must have a sadistic streak somewhere in her general makeup, for, whom but a sadist could be so cruel as to let a poor Ford stand parked in front of quarters to brave the ravages of winter? Bravo Ford! We admired you the day you refused to run until almost the whole of Walter Reed ' s inhabitants arrived on the scene! Thirty-three

ALICE CLAIBORNE 1021 Harrison Street Lynchburg, Virginia TVJo, THE above is not Florence Nightengale, but one who aspires to as high a level. Al came from Lynchburg, Virginia, the city of hills, a sweet little Southern girl with that school-girl complexion. Three years have made little difference in her and her ability to banish sorrow is uncanny. Al adored receiving gifts from an anonymous philanthropist, especially when these gifts come from the Chinese Laundry! Her kind, sunshiny disposition will long be re- membered by everyone who came in contact with her. Success to vou Al! THELMA LOUISE COLE Westernport, Maryland Tn thl rush during our hrst months here, many of us did not know Thclma very well for she is quiet and unassuming, but after having worked with her we found her most co-operative and effi- cient. She always does her share of the work, does it well, too; and she has a way of getting her patients to like her. Thelma was much in demand at the telephone, especially in Quarters III and, by the way Thelma, does smoke come out of one ' s eyes if one looks clorely enough? Also, just what is the point of grabbing the assisting doctor ' s finger when he tries to use sign language and points? Thirty-two

INEZ FUNDERBURG 1114 Broadway Springfield, Ohio HELEN M. GRAHAM 2446 East Cumberland Street Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 3|l kothek buckeye m our midst! Yes, Inez hails from Ohio, and if there are any more there like she is, please rush them on because they are scarce. She is one of our most conscientious, students. Once she is given a piece of work to do it is as good as done. Inez doesn ' t think this is a bit unusual, but we have our own opinions. It ' s a long way back, but does she remember the times in Quarters Three when she used to get up with the birds and have her day well started be- fore the rest of us had even awakened? If hard work and perseverance mean anything, Inez will most certain!} reach any goal for which she strives. r HY the animation on yon brow? What, in love again? KV motto seems to be: What a whale of a difference a little variety makes! At one time K. felt a great urge along musi- cal lines. Her supreme triumph was attained the evening she led a very famous orchestra a la impromptu! Really though, folks, K is more serious than this may seem. She has always cheerfully par- ticipated in school activities, and this, together with her obvious friendliness to everyone, has gained her many a true comrade. To you, too, K we wish the best of luck. Thirty-join
