IIARRIETT ALE'l'l'IEA NIV IN Education .El.rmfn', Delaware Math Club I, II, III, IV: Science Club III: German Club III, IV: Phi Kappa Phi. To look at Harriett in class no one would be- lieve that she has more honor points than any other member oi the class. She is rarely stirred by class discussion. and has even been known to take a nap. However, although we feel that we may have missed something in not hearing her com- ments. she is certainly excused for she almost iu- variably makes the highest mark on the test. Her particular interest is economies, and we should not be surprised in the not-too-distant future to hear that H. A. Nivin. as she always signs herself. has been appointed Secretary of the Treasury, or to some equally important. position. BEULAH WARREN PAPPERMAN Education W iliirington, Dclawarr' Math Club I, Secretary and IIIYCIISIIYCI' II, III, Corresponding Secre- tary IV: Forum III, IV: Y. VV. C. A. II, President III, Vice-President IV: Hockey II, III, Class Manager III: Freshmziu Formal, Chairman Music Committee: Christmas Play II: Freshm1n Reception Committee III, IV: The Dark Tower IV: Blue and Gold Stalli. Beulah simply radiates enthusiasm-whether it be dancing in the Hilarium, a Y. W. meeting, or church in the rain, I-Iow we envy the perfect balance she manages to maintain in her life! Beulah is one ol' the best-liked people on campus because she is genuinely interested in people and the things they are doing. This, added to the fact that she is full of fun, that she has a contagious laugh-or should we say squeal?-a neat appearance and a real understanding of her lessons, makes her a college personality that we will always remember.

She makes an eliort to hide her true worth, but her hinspirationsn for themes come with little coaxing. She makes a capable postlnistress. a convincing actress, a valuable committee member.

MARGARET VERONICA MEALEY Education Wilmivzgton, Delaware Y. VV. C. A. T, II, III: Sophomore Christmas Play IIQ Supper Club IVg Forum III, IVQ junior Prom Committee Illg Sophomore-Senior Luncheon Com- mittee IIQ Freshman-Junior Party Committee III. lVheu lrish eyes are smilingu and when they're blue like Peggyis there are bound to be consc- quences. At least we've found it so, whether the consequences be here or at the other end of the campus. Peggy dOCSI1,t talk much, but what she says is bound to be witty. One never knows when Peggy works, even though her lessons are always done, except when sl1e does her art work, and then everyone knows it. The whole dormitory walks on tiptoe until the process is over. Peggy's even dis- position makes her a good companion and one that is always very much in demand whether the mis- sion be gay or nay. JANE BENNUM MERRITT Arts and Science Easton, Maryland Hockey I, II, III, IVQ Soccer I, II, III, IV: Volley Ball IIQ Swim- ming I, Hg Basketball II, III, IV: Archery Ig Baseball I: 'Math Club I, II, Corresponding Secretary III, IV: Forum I, IV: Outing Club I3 Science Club President III, IVQ Head of Dining Hall IV. Jane is our constant marvel in that she can be so many dif- ferent personalities. One day she can he a student. and a. good one, and the next she can be n social butterily, vivacions and sparkling, with a good answer for every remark. She has her plans for the future and has the virtue of being able to stick to them, but Jane's philosophy is that one can't be a good doctor without learning a lot about life, and you might as well have a good time while you're at it. ROSE MARY MURPHY Arts and Science llfilmingtou, Dflawan' Rose has been known to deny her Irish ancestry, but mere denial is not enough. She has the true Irish love ol' a good talk and good stories. She is noted for her ability to tell uproarious jokes and tall stories with a straight face, and is not above en- dangering our gravity at inopportune moments by her side remarks. lVhen there is nothing more entertaining to distract her attention Rose studies, and she is a much better student than she would have us believe.

RACHEL PHIZLPS Arts and Science Clzrisfizlim, DL'ffl'Z0lI1'K Math Club I, II, III, IV: German Club II.I, IV: Phi Kappa Phi. Rachel is the little girl in our class whose air of dignity would lead us to suppose that she must have reached the eighth grade at least, but whose diminutive size would make one think that she could IIOIL be that old. She enjoys the unique dis- tinction of having been preceded at IVomen's Col- lege by three sisters whose achievements had already brought glory to the Phelps name before she arrived. Despite this handicap, Rachel's ac- complislnnents entitle her to be remembered for herself, not merely as another Phelps. I-Ier sin- cerity, friendliness, good humor and wit have com- bined to make her one of our best-loved class- mates.

There Could never be found a friend more loyal or steadfast than Debby. In all she participates her sportsmanship, enthusiasni, and cooperation are genuine.

Dot's expressive brown eyes first attract one's attention and then her ability to do several things at once and all of them well, keeps oneys attention. Whether she is looking for a curled mus- tache for the current production at Mitchell Hall, wielding a wicked stick on the hockey held, getting the ins and outs of business cycles or keeping noisy Seniors quiet in the dormitory, it is soon done and Dot is looking around for the next thing.
