From the regularity of her Iowa State and Cornell cor- respondence, we'd conclude that our Senior Day snake-charmer had charmed some college men. We don't have to guess, t hough, that even while Boo-Boo drives her own Pontiac, she pie fers a sportv red and green Ford and its owner.

Typing seems to be the Favorite early morning occupation for Frances. We wonder whether it’s just the typewriter that calls. Rather quiet, she has never told us much about her siav in sun-kissed California. We are very sure she's going to make an excellent private secretary tor sonic hard-work- ing business man. and Like others she may marry her boss and Jive happily ever after.

Her big moments arc out of town. Winifred Briant Soccer (2); Annual Typist (4). Winnie is the one who always managed to get her book re- ports in on time although she wrote them while they were be- ing collected. She is a lover of variety, even when it comes to her masculine friends. We have noticed that Winnie seems to prefer brunettes in the fall and blondes in the winter. Her friends blame Al for the fact that she is so sleepy on Mon- days. In her checkered dress and hairbows, Winnie made a fetching little girl on Senior Day.

William Collins Bill, who is quite a lady’s man, makes one of his extra-curricu- lar activities instructing a fas- cinating Deutsches Maedchen in English. Although he pro- fesses considerable interest in literature, we know he has a scientific mind, for he prefaces every remark with that inquir- ing phrase “How come?” His sartorial splendor dazzles us, for his garb presents a sym phony of harmonious hues. He is very meticulous about blue slips in 101. Harold Carlton El Atcneo (2, 3): Mask and Mime (3. 4); Senior Play Cast (4): Finance (4); Easict Play (4).
