Just imagine a young girl full of pep and vitality, sitting behind the wheel of her car. She is laughing, probably at the latest joke she has just heard, but her eyes have not left the ribbon of road before her. I-Ier blond hair is blowing with the breeze from the open window. No camera can catch that bright sparkle in her blue eyes or those dimples that magically pop out each time she smiles. Can you see her? If so, you have a mental picture of Dottie. MARY JANE POPKEN, '44 Instead of being huddled around the victrola, a number of blue-uniformed girls were standing about the piano, eagerly listening to popular music played by some unidentified artist. Inquiringly I peered through a little crack, and saw the pianist's face. It was a Senior humbly playing for the entertainment of her underclassmen. Her face was all aglow with pleasure or heat, her lips moving gaily to the words of the tune, and her eyes taking in the notes, the piano keys. and the girls on either side of her, - all at the same time. Black hair twisted and turned on her white collar with every turn she made of her head to keep in time with the music. Slim, white iingers flew up and down the keyboard, at times doubtfully, at times firmly. Pat it was, the girl who plays the accordion at home, but the piano at school. ROSE MARIE QUAING' '45 . . s . . s Louise is always busy doing one thing or another. It is hard to tell where you could find her. You may look through the keyhole of the sewing room door, but then she might be in the English room. If these places do not give you satisfaction, I should then advise you to look on the hockey field, or on the basket-ball court. Probably you are still looking for a Senior who is very hard to find. As a last chance, I think I hear her amongst that group of younger girls, who, as well as the Seniors, number her among their friends. ROSE MARIE HURLEY, '44 S64 Question Senior privileges are vague things. I used to think that there were many. Now that a senior I've become, I often ask if there are any.

Whig: ' : r At the umpire's summons, she arose, picked up Joe, her old pal, and with all the air of a member of the Reds took her place at the plate, a home run in mind. After having rejected three balls most scrupulously, she spotted a satisfactory one, swung instantly, and with the entire force of her body socked, sending a low, swift, and accurate ball beyond all of the fielders. Thrusting the bat aside, she rounded the bases in long, steady, swift strides, reaching the home plate with not a second to spare. Sinking down into the cool grass to rest up for another victorious crack at the ball, Angie seemed not to notice, except for a word of thanks, the praise and congratulation which were shouted at her. V ' HELEN WAGNER, '46 What Senior might be seen in front of the record-player or the radio, a dreamy far-away look in her eyes, and her arms hanging limply over the arm of the chair? One arm hanging, for the other hand would be playing with a tiny curl just in front of her ear. You speak to her: no response. At last rousing her from the deep reverie into which good music usually sends her, you receive an absent-minded, indifferent answer, and Norma slides back into a delicious absorption in thought. DOLORES BALLMAN, ,44 Back in the corner, paying no attention to any distraction, studying almost ferociously, sits a brown haired, brown eyed student. There are books in front of her, at her side, all around. She is literally closed in on all sides. So that she will not have to disturb herself to look for some reference, she has thoughtfully brought the reference books she will need with her. No, Mary Leah-will not waste a minute of her study hour, and you can readily see by the intent look on her face that she is absorbing every bit she is reading. She is the picture of an animated student on the track of something, and nothing will prevent her from gaming her point' JEANNE CLAIRE VEHR, '44 Page sixteen 55651if1tSi51E'f'.?f:Se'!fsj.,Qe,:f39 ' 3 ri'-if - 1
