Patricia Ruth Abrams Abe s Hospital Experience in Ascent gave us concrete evidence of her capacity to under- stand those in need of sympathy and help. These qualities will serve her well when she becomes a nurse. Abe loved a good time and her lively banter contributed much to parties. Suzanne Baker Throughout her years in Upper School, Suzy has helped to manage many activities such as the Christmas Carnival and the Paddock Post. We ll always remember her reserving the right to differ and often upholding the minority view. She was a sympathetic listener to those who wanted to pour out their troubles. Elizabeth Anne Birbeck Betty likes to talk — outside of class. Her cheerfulness survives even tests and term pa- pers, and her sense of responsibility leads her to work for the welfare of the class with pride in its accomplishments. With her happy frame of mind and optimism. Betty should make a fine nurse.

Harriet Loomis Sinclair, PRESIDENT Ut, who came during her junior year, made friends quickly. We sense a certain shyness in her which is often overcome by her interest in people. There is in her a sincere desire to learn, and her capabilities are evident in her class discussions. Ut loves swimming and this year acquired a new enthusiasm for skiing. Margaret Elizabeth Gardner, SECRETARY-TREASURER Betsy s aim in everything she does is perfec- tion, not only in her studies, but in being a good sport when she is teased about her A s or anything else. Though Betsy was kept busy in many activities, she still had time to be helpful and friendly, whether giving an assignment or hunting costumes for a play. Arden Lee Worth, VICE-PRESIDENT Ardie will always be associated with comic hats of all sizes, shapes, and descriptions. In her art work, too. she displayed this jaunty per- sonality, and many posters were brightened by her drawings of animal faces. Ardie worked quietly, but she could be counted on to help whether collecting money for Service League, typing for Ascent, or doing anything else that needed to be done.

Lillian Ruth Brown In spite of Jill ' s quiet ways and her coming to the class only last year, she has formed gen- uine friendships. Although she has decided she wants to teach younger children, we know from her work on the Paddock Post and Ascent that she would also make an excellent secretary. Anne Cameron Anne is famous for her subtle humor and dry comments which brightened our classes. When a dance was in the offing, the infirmary seemed to hold the only safety for Anne: but now we wonder if that will always be the case. Anne ' s fine mind and quiet thoughtfulness won our respect and affection. Mary Etta Carson We won ' t forget Mare ' s unforced and con- tagious laughter or her hilarious lab experi- ments. All of us were aware of her forthright- ness and honesty and admired her capacity for deep convictions. We ll remember her for her unauthoritative yet forceful influence as Vice- President of the Student Body.
