T H E REPRESENTATIVE SENIOR

RUTH KASTLER

Pi

R U T H K A S T L E R — o r "Meenie" as she is known on the campus, has been a
prominent figure in college l i f e since her earliest freshman days. When,
as an ambitious "prep," i n the last year of high school, I cast my longing eyes
college-ward, I used to "hear tell" of her—she was then a freshman. Various
Newcombites remarked that she played basketball "like a streak," was very
bright and would undoubtedly bear watching.

There was no hesitancy on the part of Pi Chapter as to whom we would elect
as our most prominent senior, although we have seven seniors of whom we are
deservedly proud. When the announcement was made that she had been
awarded Phi Beta Kappa, we were really quite overcome—though we had long
ago marked her, in our own minds, as distinctly eligible to that highest honor.
"Meenie" was president of her class in her sophomore year, has always taken
a prominent part in Y . W . C. A. work, served on the Student Council and has
been active in college l i f e generally. I t is in athletics that she has done the
most. She has made the varsity basketball team all f o u r years; she has been
captain of her class team; f o r two successive years, she has been awarded the
individual cup as winner of the most points i n the annual field day meet, which
includes all the known forms of athletic sports. Yet she has been a most loyal
and tireless worker in the interest of Alpha 0.

I t wouldn't be so very remarkable to hold first place i n one or two of the
many phases of college activity—but to excel in practically a l l ! — W h a t is so
surprising is that she is the most modest person in the w o r l d . Although a very
small person, she wears her cap and gown i n a dignified manner. To quote a
fellow senior: " Y o u ' d never know f r o m her that "Meenie" Kastler had ever
done a n y t h i n g ! " O f one thing we may be sure, that she who has served her
college and her fraternity so loyally has something wonderful for her i n the
future. She has certainly l e f t behind her the very best college record and the

things which figure the most prominent in that record are those two enviable
attributes—popularity and success.
