Sunday, May 22, 1949 THE DAILY NEBRASKAN PAGE 7 Seniors . to campus living, The Daily rec ognizes Betty Aasen and Barbara Speer. HATS OFF TO BETTY for her lively personality and her keen interest in all phases of Univer sity life. Betty has served her alma mater from the "Union ology" office in the basement of the Union to the Student Council office on the top floor. Outstanding achievement in her major field, art, gave Betty mem bership in Delta Phi Delta, art honorary. Artistic ability gave Betty her post as art editor of "Unionology" and gives the cam pus the murals in the Crib. When she wasn't swinging the gavel as this year's president of Chi Omega, Betty was yelling her lungs out, with the other cheer leaders, at football and basketball games. HOBBY? WELL, YES, dancing. Membership in Orchesis testifies to that. Fame came to Betty on Ivy Day when she was crowned May Queen. The lace gown in which she reigned over the Ivy cere monies will serve again in August when Betty walks down the aisle with N. U. alum. Lee Kjelson. The flaming red hair which announces the approach of Bar bara Speer also denotes a lively awareness of student problems and an interest in solving them. Rnrh's bie Droiect this year was the Y. As president she led some three hundred women in campu nyigious activities. BUT HER INTEREST in people doesn't end there. It goes on to include student government. Two years of service on the Student Council have given Barb an op portunity to strive for a better campus. This same interest in people no doubt accounts for her Soci ology major, but only hard work and real intelligence account for her membership in Phi Beta Kappa. Every Wednesday Barb dons a black suit and heads for Mor tar Board meetings, more proof of her abilitv as a campus leader. HER SORORITY, DELTA Delta Delta, and her "pitchin' arm" round out Barb's college career. a ttrr ihp rtmlomas have been riwirilintoH. Barb plans to go east, maybe Harvard or Yale, to do graduate work in religion. and stick with it came through in Phyl's work in Tassels. It paid off again when she was elected vice-president of the AWS board and finally when the black masque of Mortar Board was dropped over her eyes at last year's Ivy Day ceremonies. One more ingredient must be stirred in to complete this Woman of the Year. That quality is a keen and active intelligence, so aciive. in fact, that is has admitted her to three honornries. In her freshman year Phyl achieved a 90 average which made her a member of Alphia Lambda Delta. Pi Lambda Theta, teacher's college, honorary, also claims her. This spring the key of Phi Beta Kappa was added to Phyl's al ready impressive list of campus jewelry. Membership in Alpha Chi Omega completes the list. WHAT WILL HAPPEN to "woman of the year'" when her college days are over? A major in elementary edu cation prepares Phyl to teach and that's what she plans to do. This summer she will act as a play ground director, to combine her interest in education with her hobbv, sports. "SHE'S QUITE outdoorish," a close friend said. And she is. A top flight swimmer, Phyl acquires her suntan wielding a tennis Quirks? Everybody has 'em. Everybody but Phyl. "SHE'S SO EASY to get along with, you c;m't help but like her," the same friend said. And the entire campus nods agreement, in a salute to Phyllis Harris. Woman of the Year. Year Awards . . ston touch and hours of hard ,.,Afi, rnM nasilv have been a W Ul IV L . k. ' Hrtfrmininff factor. A former Navy cadet who hails from Galesburg, Illinois, John ston will not end his service to ih ITnivrrsitv when Graduation rolls around. He plans to join the art dept. staff and share his creative talent with more students than ever. There prob nhlv isn't one art faculty mem- hnr hn wnn't swear by him nor any member of Delta Phi Delta, the art honorary to wincn ne Be longs. The same goes for the pub-lii-ntinn! nponle nlus the in numerable friends Man of the Year Johnston has on the Uni versity campus. THE GIRL BEHIND that be oo-tiful suntan is "Women of the Year," Phyllis Harris. And be hind that tan, title, and crop of blond hair lies a host of achieve ments and abilities which make up the most outstanding senior on campus. At first glance, Phyl appears to be a very vivacious and at tractive young women. A second look, and who wouldn't take one, reveals intelligence, personality and poise. Her vivaciousness and person ality were recognized by the stu dent body when she was elected 1947 Pep Queen. And it came through again this year to win for Phyl the title of Honorary Colonel of the '49 Military Ball. THE ABILITY to do a good job THE GRADUATING CLASS . . .
