GENEVA BEATTY “GEN” When “Gen” quietly dropped into our midst last September, we were all won by her engaging smile and winning- personality. Geneva has aspirations to be a nurse and you can bet many a young man ■will be breaking his neck or something to be able to spend a few weeks under her capable care. You will find “Gen” happiest when on a smoothly waxed floor shagging t ' o a “hot” dance band. Eorn in Boston, Mass., September 19, 1921. Hobbies: Reading, Dancing. Ambition: To be a nurse.

MARTHA SPRAGUE BLAISDELL “MITTY” “MIDDY ANN” Someone way back in history said, “If you want a job well done, do it yourself.” We say, “If you want a job well done, give it to Martha.” We’ve tried it, and it’s worked wonders! Martha is a “jack-of-all-trades.” She’s a musician, student, good sport, and, on the side, a surrealist. So far, she has been able to uphold the Blaisdell standard and her future should be colorful and most inter¬ esting. Born in Boston, Mass., February 2, 1921.

BOLIVAR “CARL” Carleton is very quiet in school, but those who know him well agree that he certainly can hold his own in any “rag-chew” outside, for he can talk well about almost any subject. Aside from his in¬ terests in drawing, nature, and mystery stories, his real ambition is to be an engineer in planning and constructing great networks of over-head, one¬ way, super-highways all over the country. We can think of little that can stop him. Born in Dayspring, Nova Scotia, May 24, 1920. Activities: Track Team ’37. Hobbies: Nature Collections. Ambition: To become consultant civil engineer.
