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.
