'The Face
Is Familiar...
This tall, brown-eyed junior in the College is usually seen going at break-neck speed. "More hours in the day would be a great help to me," she laughs.
Her day includes a full college schedule, and a half-day behind the counter at Weaver's department store. Her major in home economics stands her in good stead when she undertakes her duties at Miller hall.
Although she enjoys all her courses, she likes sewing the best, because she says she can replenish her wardrobe that way.
Her home is a few miles from town, and she graduated from Liberty Memorial high school. Her farm rearing taught her to enjoy horseback riding, now a favorite sport.
