SONYA KAREN FLACK Wilderness Road, Tryon, North Carolina Kasey, Flako Where ' s the food? — Y ' all hush up! Honor Roll 2, 3, 4, Varsity Basketball 2, 3, New Fidelio 2, Class Play 3, Fidelio 3, 4, Varsity Lacrosse 3, Varsity Soc- cer 3, 4, Numerals 3. Umph! It ' s morning! Kasey collapses out of bed and crawls over to me. You still asleep? she asks with one eye half open. Umph! That ' s amazing! The breakfast bell having rung five minutes ago, we amble down to the meal gracefully tripping over one another. Oh well, Kasey mutters, I always was a spaz. I think that ' s why Ricky likes me so much — I ' m always falling at his feet! CHARLOTTE EUGENIA FLINT Brooks School, North Andover, Massachusetts Carla New Fidelio 2, Fidelio 3, 4, Choir 3, 4, Honor Roll 3, 4, Courant Board 3, Editor-in-Chief of Courant 4, Choir Ac- companist 4. There sits in a field of undulating winter wheat a Hamadryad. Her fingers, chilled, trill forth on a recorder a high melody of a distant Scots fantasy, until the ear at last abandons the melody and chases the whistling wind. Up jumps the Hamadryad and is off on the wind, a breath of genius. First, into the philosophic pondering with eye- brows raised in question until the words, One can suppose ... And next, into a dark gloom-filled room where only yellowed ivory keys and dust are, until her fingers begin and Bach breaks forth then Chopin, glimmering, and the room is light. We are foolish enough to stumble into her practicing room and apologize, Have we interrupted? Of course not, silly! our Hamadryad says and smiles as always she does, for there is in our Hamadryad a joy in living intrinsically interwoven with her spirit as are her locks ofttimes with the waving wheat. ■••v r - ' y V . m . . . in the clover Grin and bear it. 26

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.

MARIE ELIZABETH FOX Powder Point Avenue, Duxbury, Massachusetts Ree Debating 2, W.U.S. Representative 2, Class Play 2, 3, Honor Roll 2, 3, Intoxic - eights 3, 4, New Fidelio 3, Bazaar Committee Chairman 3, Fidelio 4, Circle Board 4. A tall girl with a quiet, infinitely calm expression on her face walks out of the library. A swift smile to a friend, a group of hats on her room ' s walls, an enthusiastic dental floss fan, a high Intoxic — eight, an accomplished ac- cordionist, an early morning departure to Hotchkiss, ex- tended vacations, sailing, sailing, sailing and more sailing are all typical of Ree. A steady, industrious, and devoted friend if Ree. MUTHONI GITHUNGO Post Office Box 2863, Nairobi, Kenya, East Africa W.U.S. Representative 2, Library Committee 3, Photog- raphy Club 4. But I want to be a doctor! a capital undiscovered ac- tress, the delight of every African Exchange Student on the East Coast, hence sovereignty over third floor telephone. She is a lover of children and a gende poetess, the delight of the Courant, but resolute upon occasion. Everyone has color! She speaks French and German by means of Kikuyu phonetics. She would sleep indefinitely were it not for a keen understanding of the intricacies of the alarm clock. Will you have tea? I will bring water. Can I wear these colors together? She appears upon special occasions, a beautiful ambassadress wearing a long hand-sewn muthuru. When you come to Kenya, I will show you. Arf! Arf! 27 Jambo from the wandering scholar.
