She comes from Chicago and she was discovered sitting on piano at the PBH tea and she likes to ski and she's blonde and she came to Radcliffe because she wants to work hard and she sings in the Choral Society and she lives in Briggs Hall and her name is Carol Jones.

And that's the story of Miss 1949, plucked by SERVICE NEWS talent scouts from the milling throng that stormed Phillips Brooks House Sunday afternoon for the annual Harvard-Radcliffe Freshman tea.

Everyone told her not to come to Radcliffe she said; they told her she wasn't the type. But there really isn't a Radcliffe type, though there may be a popular caricature.

Carol hasn't made up her mind about Harvard yet, but she likes Boston she went to Durgin-Park and had clams for the first time in her life, and thought the democratic atmosphere "fascinating."

Prettiest girl in the entering class? The talent scouts thought so; but she wasn't so certain! "I'm sure it was all a mistake; all the others were much-prettier."

Her ambitions lie in social work or nursing; she worked in a camp for underprivileged children in Illinois last summer. Didn't that make her socially conscious so that she'd read the Chicago Sun instead of the Tribune? Oh, no, the money for the camp came from the Tribune.
