Eye on Yourself." Conducted by Miss Anne Ryan, graduate assistant in the School of Home Economics, it is a highly personalized clinic. . "Few girls use all of their as sets," Miss Ryan explained. "Therefore I feel that by worklng with them, rather than at them, I can make them conscious of their good points and attractive fea-. tures." A graduate of, Utah State, Miss Ryan was prominent in extracur_ ricular activities. She was presi dent of Associated Women Stu dents organization, secretary of student council, vice-president of a local senior honorary and was listed in "Who's Who in American Colleges" for 1943-44. She held also the unique position of regi mental sponsor of the ROTC. "That was mostly to keep up the . spirit of the unit and to add a little pep," she, explained. This same same pep Miss Ryan instills in the girls who come to her in 223 Home Economics building each Friday. •
