Virgo, September's symbol, is doubly important to Sally Ayres, because it was under this sign that she was born and under it that she entered the class of l945 at Bush. Sally brought all the assets of Virgo from Washiiigttuii, li. Li., where she formerly lived. She is one of the numerous brains, especially in mathematics, besides being a popular member of the senior class. Sally's main activity Coutside of V-12's and dancingj is drainatics in which she is very talented. This she proved when she took the difficult part of jenny in the Senior Play, and of Mary, Queen of Scots in a scene from Maxwell Ander- son's play. lt has also been rumored that she is a whiz at the piano, but to date no one has been able to persuade her to perform. As gossip editor of the Rambler during the first semester, Sally demonstrated her excellent gift of gab to the amusement of all, and when the second semester rolled around, she was unanimously elected editor-in-chief. Since she does serious writing equally well, her editorial venture was very successful. Sally deserves to be called a scientist. She belonged to the exclusive trigo- noinetry class of two this year, and her favorite subject is chemistry in which she plans to do research work after she attends Sweet Briar Collegie. Q17-

In February the Stanford Aptitude Tests were taken. The results were all excellent, and out of the five groups in which results were classified, all the girls were placed in the first three classes with the majority in the first two. Following the strain of these examinations those girls who were to take College Boards began a strenuous period of reviewing and studying. April 7 finally came and went, to the great satisfaction of the unfortunate victims. Senior privileges were gratefully enjoyed by all, especially during the second semester. On the beginning of sunny spring days the privilege of studying outside was hailed with joy, and the senior table after spring vacation was very popular. The Senior Sneak is always a privilege surrounded with mystery for all the lower classmen. In the senior class, long before the date for the spree was finally decided upon, lengthy debates were held in hushed whispers as to its nature, place, and time. The long-awaited event, complete with sun tans, was a huge success. Of all the privileges granted there is surely no doubt that Senior Week was the one that afforded the greatest measure of amusement and whole-hearted fun! All the girls took part in some way in providing entertainment for the class. Included in the elaborate plans were a dance, luncheons, teas, dinners, and house-parties. After the last-minute cramming for final examinations, we turned our attention to the perfection of the graduation ceremonies, The blue caps and gowns symbolized the perfect ending to a perfect senior year. o Q 53 ......-,,,,,,.,,..,. .,........? -16-

Barbara Barrett, one of the three new additions to the senior class last fall, brought with her a wonderful sense of humor which is characteristic of people born under the sign of Libra. She came from Blaine, VVashington, not only the best town in the west, but the best in the world, to join eleven other seniors at Gracemont for the school year. Another Libra asset which she possesses is gray matter. Because of this she was one of the fortunate lone survivors of a Lister special, and was denied the questionable privilege of returning to school one Saturday for a morning of study. lt should be mentioned here that Barbara is not all brains. She is a first class jitterbugger too. As Mrs. llirks, the tough housekeeper, in the Senior Play, li tthat is her nicknamej proved her ability along dramatic lines. During the second semester, Barbara was a member of the Publications Committee. She was most welcome because a good typist was very much in demand. ln fact, if it had not been for her willing and well trained fingers. the second semester Ramblers might not have always appeared on schedule.
