A genuine good nature who never reasoned its own worth. Syb is an individualist—she likes to walk barefooted—is a rabid reader of P. M. —and keeps up with current affairs. Her humorous quips and impish smiles are her trade marks. 'No troubles to vex me. no sorrows to grieve. Eppie is a happy-go-lucky senior. She can always be heard humming some familiar tune. Her cheerful nature will be a great help in her chosen career—nursing The radiance of youth. Carol is the senior with the beautiful milk-white complexion.
