We Jt&r "Sparky"

By MILDRED C . LARSON, Upsilon

ADORING bugs, books, and butterscotch,
. Marion Elder, a junior at the University
of Washington, with her chortling Chevrolet,
stands out as one of the prides of Upsilon.

In "Sparky" one finds vivacity, generosity,
efficiency, and brilliancy moulded into one per-
sonality.

In the first place "Sparky"' insists upon
maintaining a 9.4 grade average with no effort
at all, despite her bacteriology, chemistry and
zoology courses.

Secondly, she has directed several Women's
Federation committees including, radio con-
certs, program, arrangements, tours, and Sta-
dium Day. She is a member of the Y.W.C.A.
cabinet, and member of the Community service
and membership committees. Recently, she was
elected secretary to Standards committee, the
group which regulates fraternity affairs.

As chapter secretary "Sparky" is, of course,
most accurate with the minutes, and on the
night of December 4 added another feather to
her rap when she successfully managed our first Fathers' banquet.
