EMILIE EVANS DEAN 42 Atlantic Avenue, Cohasset, Massachusetts Mimi, Mimer You know what I mean? Debating 2, 4, Modern Dance Group 2, A.C.A. Representa- tive 2, Class Play 3, Secretary of Class 3, Corridor Proctor 3, Bazaar Committee Chairman 3, President of A.C.A. 4, Numerals 4. Hey you guys, it ' s awfully hot in here. Why doesn ' t someone open a window? Mimer, you ' re the closest. Why don ' t you? Golly, I ' m writing a letter. On a painting? Yeah. Don ' t you think it ' s more interesting that way? I know. It ' s a good way to get rid of another one of your water-color and ink paintings of a lighthouse and rocks, too. Well, you know. Hey, did you go downtown today, Mimi? No. I wish I had, though. Wouldn ' t you love some pop- corn right now? Or some fruit salad with cottage cheese? Or even an apple? Well, we don ' t have anything, so you ' d better stop dreaming. Yeah, I guess you ' re right. I ' ll never finish this letter, though. I feel so uninspired! I think I ' ll go to bed — I can ' t wait to dream on my pillow! ROSE MARY EUSTACE Zacatlan 8, Col. La Paz, Puebla, Puebla, Mexico Rosita, Rosie Ay! Class Play 1, Modern Dance Group 1. Rosita is always good company for listening to records and dancing to the music of the Cha-cha-cha, and also for those midnight chats about vacations and HOME! — not to forget those little food-parties. She sparkles with her feminine ways and manners, and she is always prompt in answering her correspondence. Rosita often finds herself thinking angelical thoughts — Latin boys with green eyes and dark hair. She can usually be heard saying: Ay, Maria, chula! — Are you through with that magazine? — In Mexico we ... And one of her favorite occupations is cutting out pictures from magazines while munching on chocolates. Nothing like a good smile to keep up your energy! 24 don ' t mind my school — it ' s just the work.

FELICITY ISABELLE COLBY Campus Road, Clinton, New York Lissa, Lis Be a chum. Sue Class Play 2, 3, A Cappella Group 2, New Fidelio 2, Modern Dance Group 2, 3, Varsity Soccer 2, 3, Fidelio 3. She entered fall ' 62. Oh great, a whole extra closet for leotards. At least we ' re not living at the bottom of a fish tank this year. Now listen — this room is going to look individual. Now, what I see is green velvet canopies ooh how about a big cobweb over the ceiling? Wallpaper? It ' ll only take six dozen blotters. Tripping in from ballet class she says, There was this divine boy on the subway. He was reading his copy of Mad, and I was reading mine. About school — Do you really think Leonard Bernstein would come to the Abbot prom? Being chums is fun. SUSAN COOLIDGE Argilla Road, Ipswich, Massachusetts Chortle, Chortle. Corridor Proctor 1, 4, Class Play 1, 2, A.C.A. Representative 2, Bazaar Committee Chairman 3, Library Committee 4. There is a warmth in Sue ' s quietness, a quickness in her humor, and a simplicity in her words. To share her laughter is to join with her in real understanding, to speak with her is to be all at once yourself. Hers is the rare gift of friend- ship, of knowing you in your own truths and sharing with you the honesty of her thought of doubt and the suddenness of her humor. And always there is fun in her — Come for a non-caloric pickle and flatbread party — I ' m sending for the four-foot giant in this ad — I ' ve always wanted a horn that sounds like a bus — I ' m so excited about everything! To know Sue is to have a fuller measure of your own joys. Oh to he dancing at Lincoln Center with Leonard Bernstein. I ' m the one in the sneakers. 23

LORNA MAY FISHER Ponus Street, New Canaan, Connecticut Lorn Tough. Bazaar Committee Chairman 3, Talent Show 3, Davis Hall Marshal 3, Current Events Club 3, Griffin Captain 4, Var- sity Tennis 4, Library Committee 4. You might call her the happy wanderer — from tennis courts to ski slopes to lacrosse field, all roached out in the country house where Jay turns to her, you think I ' m a farmer huh; I ' m a lover. Then there was Sakonnet, New- port, Bluehill, Provincetown — fife at Abbot was almost as exciting — Middlebury, Colgate, Trinity or Dartmouth. She ' s not necessarily a stickler for the rules but a stickler for Griffin victories. Smile and the world smiles with you, cry and you cry alone. Paint brush in hand, she walks on smiling. DERORAH WHITTIER FITTS Hidden Field, Andover, Massachusetts Debby, Deb Class Play 1, 2, 3, Honor Roll 2, 3, Varsity Lacrosse 3, Courant Board 3, 4. Debby finished washing up the milk cans. Then she swept out the bam and washroom. She stood for a minute with her hands in her pockets on the edge of the platform. The last of the cows were disappearing over the hill. The farmer stepped out beside her and thanked her for help- ing. Debby shrugged her shoulders and laughed, embar- rassed at being thanked. He headed for his truck, and she dropped to the ground and took off after the cows. Out in the pasture Debby propped herself against a big, black and white shoulder. She took out the letter she had received the previous day and with a stubby pencil began sketching on the envelope. Ha, ha! I ate the porridge! 25 Nice cow.
