LOUISE ANTHONY The athlete among our girls, Lou, of Chi ‘Omega, won her shield, key, and blazer, and was president of W. A. A. during her senior year. Going all out for sports, she was on both the varsity basketball and hockey teams, and played softball and speedball. A versa- tile girl, Lou was a member of W. S. G. A. and Sachems, and was Sports Edi- tor of the BEACON and the GRIST- ETTE. She plans to attend a Physical Education college in the fall. If inter- est makes for success, Louise’s battle is already won. JEANNE FREEMAN An outstanding Chi Omega co-ed in many w r ays, Jeanne, one of those few Biology majors, established a real prec- edent in her senior year by being elect- ed to what was traditionally a man’s of- fice: Moderator of Sachems. She has held all three positions of our class — Secretary, Vice President and Director, and has been president of Phi Sigma, Glee Club, Junior Councillors and Chi Omega. Enthusiastically active in sports, Jeanne was a member of the varsity basketball and hockey teams, and in her Junior year was the recipient of a WAA blazer. Jeanne, with bound- less energy, always has been ready and willing to tackle anything, and we know with such spirit she will prove her worth in the world. ELIZABETH WHITAKER “Quality, not quantity” can well de- scribe “Little Whit,” a Delta Zeta, and an essential member of W. S. G. A., for three years. She held all three offices of that organization, secretary-treasur- er, vice president, and president. In her Senior year, Betty went as our repre- sentative to the New England Student Government Convention at the Univer- siy of Vermont. She was also active in sports, and showed her versatility by being chosen May Day Queen. She found time to be Women’s Editor of the BEACON and of the GRISTETTE, and was president of her group of Junior Councillors. DOROTHEA DAHLQUIST Majoring in Biology, “Dee” began her college career by being elected vice- president of our Freshman class and by starring in the Freshman Phi Delta plays. During that year, “Dee” showed an interest in sports. Chosen as a cheerleader, she used most of her ef- forts on the halfback, Donnie Dwyer. In her sophomore year “Dee” was elect- ed secretary of the class, and was our Queen of the Soph Hop. “Dee” is a Delta Zeta who has achieved Sachem membership, and has the distinction of being the last Regimental Sweetheart elected by the R. O. T. C. for the dura- tion. Clever writing and original ideas have characterized her talent as Fea- ture Editor of the BEACON and the GRISTETTE. MARGERY HARRINGTON ' Known for the fine work she did on the BEACON, Margie, a Chi Omega, was twice Managing Editor of the BEACON and held that same office on the GRISTETTE. She was elected to Sachems, became its secretary, partici- pated in Intramural sports, was a Jun- ior Councillor, and secretary of the Radio Club. As president of the Home Economics Club, Margie went in the summer of her senior year as the cam- pus representative to the annual Home Economics convention in Chicago. Her ambition for the duration lies in the di- rection of journalizing for Vogue or Mademoiselle. When that Marine captain comes marching home, we know her journalistic career will be a thing of the past. ELSIE MARTIN An outstanding student in English and history, Elsie, a Chi Omega, twice president of the the International Rela- tions Clubs, was instrumental in bring- ing that organization to its place of prominence on campus. Active in W. S. G. A. for three ycai s, Els was elected its president in her senior year. Elsie was also an active member of Portia and served as vice president. The world waits for and wants people like you, Elsie!
