Kathie Finds Science Fun;
Veep Added to Jim's Titles
"Now, Miss Jones, would you tell the court what he looked like, that boy who was running down C‑wing with Student Council papers and Traffic Court stickers."
"Yes, I'll do the best I can. He's about 5 feet, 10 inches tall, and he must weigh about 155 pounds."
"Is there anything else you can tell us?"
"Well, his hair is brown, and he has blue eyes."
"Miss Jones, look around the courtroom. Do you see the boy you have just described?" (pause)
"Yes, yes, that's the one! The boy wearing the white levis!"
"Your honor, I'd like to call the defendant, Jim Carley, to the witness stand."
"Mr. Carley, you are accused of a serious crime. Your car was found parked in the Maine West parking lot without a sticker! Do you realize you may lose your position as Traffic Court judge?"
"Yes, I know this, but it wasn't my car."
"That's for the court to decide."
After arguing heatedly for hours, the jury has reached a decision. "We find the defendant, Jim Carley, guilty and sentence him to one school year as vice‑president of Student Council and Traffic Court judge."
"People who take enough trouble to remember another's name," rate high with Kathie Benson '64, treasurer of the Student Council. Kathie is a light brown‑haired senior who stands about 5 feet, 3 inches tall.
Born in Chicago, she later moved to Des Plaines where she entered Algonquin Junior High.
Kathie is majoring in science and math with her favorite subject being biology. After graduation she hopes to attend Purdue or Northern University.
Hikes, nature studies, reading, and Council take up most of her time. She does, however, find time to work as a nurse's aid at a convalescent home. "I like people and I enjoy working with them," said Kathie, "But I find this takes patience which I wonder if I have sometimes."
Favorites include fish, hamburgers, and "any kind of soothing music." "Don't sweat over small stuff," is one of her mottos. "It just doesn't make sense when people worry about insignificant things," she added.
"One of my outstanding memories of Maine will be Mr. David Gauger's civic's class," she smiled jokingly. Then in a more serious tone she added, "I'll never forget the first and the last - time I got a progress report in my sophomore year.
