Princess Good Watcher
I A princess with a royal personality is Donna Masterson, brown
eyed, brunette member of the Junior Weekend court. Although ex
‘Cited and thrilled about her new position on the campus, Donna main
tains an unaffected nature uncommon in royal heights.
Donna is kept busy filling her duties as vice president of the
l)elta Delta Delta sorority, and she has been song leader of her house.
“I always find time for concerts of all kinds and I love to spend an
evening dancing,” she added. “And one of my'favorite pastimes is
watching sports,” quickly putting the emphasis on “watching.” She
explained that she is a teammate of the Tri-Delt softball team, “but
-I don't play very much,” she said laughingly.
A graduate of Vale high school in eastern Oregon, she is now
jnajoring in history, but plans to work as a legal secretary near home.
“My home town,” she explained, “is just a small town that grows
many sugar beets, but my contribution to the industry was only a
half a day’s work in the fields. Each summer I watch everything from
German prisoners to imported Mexican help come to harvest the crops.”
- Donna's past experience before a crowd includes only playing the
part of a mystic in her junior class play in Vale. Being a princess is
much different than that of a mystic, she added, “but I’m looking for
ward to the weekend and I’m doubly glad I had my mid-term on
Wednesday instead of Friday!”
