In height she is five feet four inches tall and weighs 122 pounds. Majoring in liberal arts at present, she plans to finish her studies in the field of psychology. Red is her favorite color and she has made this the center of her color scheme for her room.

Knitting argyles is her hobby, and steak—“a nice expensive one” —and roller skating are among her favorites. She belongs to Junior Orchesis and the YWCA.

She loves angelfood cake, golfing and fishing, and is a devotee of commercial flying, after having taken several trips via the air lines. Nancy’s home is in Portland where she atteended Grant high school. SX Entertains (Continued from page one) thy Gardner, Zeta Hall; Barbara Klum, Zeta Tau Alpha; and Arlen Sader, Orides.
