Diekema. Mrs. Diekema, who will retire from her present position at the close of this semester, is known for her fondness for formality. However, last night the tables were' turned, and it was Mrs. 'D' who was ushered through a long receiv- ing line of residents before dinner. An enthusiastis, well-informed and well-traveled individual, Mrs. 'D' has been a guiding influence at Martha Cook since 1939.

She has served as president of the Michi- gan Alumnae Club a Before her graduation from the University, Mrs. Diekema was sec- retary of the senior class, president of Mortarboard, senior womens' honorary and an active member of Kappa Alpha Theta sorority. Grey-haired and charming, Mrs. Diekema combines a gracious man- ner with the ability to speak her mind. She is never reluctant to express her pride in Martha Cook and in the individual achievements of the girls who live there. Through the years she has re- tained her enthusiasm and an inexhaustible sense of humor. Not long ago, she gave evidence of her good sportsmanship when she ac- cepted a membership in a mock dormitory honorary. As part of the initiation which was held dring dinner, she roasted a marshmallow over a candle and then downed the gooey concoction with great dexterity. h A former house president termed Mrs. 'D' "A unique individual who has led a remarkable and exciting life and has also managed to break me of the life-long habit of folding my arms in the lunch line. Following her retirement, Mrs. 'D plans to live in San Francisco. It is certain that along with her lug- gage for the trip, will be included the sincere best wishes of her many friends and acquaintances in Ann Arbor. -Daily-John Hirtzel STUDYING FOR EXAMS-Brian Higgins, at the desk, and Neil Gray, standing, are among those students who will forsake their studies for awhile to go to "Blue Book Blues," the semi-annual Blue Book Ball to be held from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. Saturday in the Union Ballroom.
