EMMALYN HOUSTON HELMS Life is very short, and very uncertain; let us spend it as well as we can, 1966 was a year of change and innovation at Country Day; it was also the year Emmalyn joined our class. She has quickly adapted to life at school; in fact she has become an integral part of it. As the Senior Girls ' Student Council Represen¬ tative, she has effectively voiced their ideas and protests along with her own. Emmalyn’s maturity and enthusiasm have been apparent in a wide va¬ riety of activities including French Club, Spirit Club, and the Community and World Service Or¬ ganization. Warmth, sincerity, pastel colors, and an immaculate appearance have been Emmalyn ' s trademarks during her two years at Country Day. BEVERLY ALEXANDER HAZEL Youth is the opportunity to do something and to become somebody. Bev ' s arrival at Country Day in 1966 created a new sensation in our class: the threat of female domination in the math department. Math has not been Bev ' s sole interest; a natural talent for lan¬ guages has made her a valuable French Club mem¬ ber. She has been noted for her firm convictions and has been counted on by Aquilifer for ideas and organization. Bev has also been an enthusiastic Rebel supporter and a member of the Monitor staff. She has been recognized throughout her career at Country Day as an ambitious and efficient planner, one who could be depended upon at all times. ELIZABETH SPENCER HAYES A little archangel slightly damaged. Take a cherub with a blonde moptop, add a streak of devilish mischievousness, imbue it with talent, give it interest and enthusiasm, and you have a Betsy Hayes. She came to Country Day in the tenth grade, and immediately became active as a member of Spanish Club and Assembly Plan¬ ning Committee. She was chosen to be Co-Chair¬ man of the United Appeal Drive and Film Society President for 1967-1968. Gay and yet responsible, Betsy has been diligent in all of her endeavors.

MARGARET SIEM DOWGWILLA I would sooner fail than not be among the greatest. During her two years at Country Day, Peggy has been recognized as the creative one, both on paper and in paint. She has been an apt art stu¬ dent and a winner in competition. Her original ideas and natural talent have made her invaluable as Associate Editor of Post Script and Secretary- Treasurer of French Club. An ambitious student and independent thinker, Peggy attended the Governor ' s School in 1966. An achiever, she has often been over-worked and under-acknowledged. STEPHANIE CUMMINGS HAIR Life is a jest and all things show it - I thought so once but now I know it. Pepper has lived up to her name with her un¬ predictable, sometimes caustic wit. Another ad¬ vocate of a good time, Pep has been especially creative in the arts - of making mischief. She has also had her serious turns as one of Country Day’s underground Intelligentsia. Interested in languages. Pepper has been a long time member of the Latin and French Clubs. Since joining the class in 1965, she has added diversion as a lively one. With her bent for journalism and cynical, humor - watch out world! JOHN THOMAS FIELDER The greatest deception is to believe the misunderstood. An innovator, Tom was a natural choice for Booster Club President. In addition to making many advantageous changes in this organization, he has been an ardent basketball player, noted for his ability and drive. An often misconstrued individu¬ alist, Tom has a definite artistic talent which he has demonstrated by winning the 1967 Country Day art award. Throughout his eight years at Country Day, he has been an influential and affable mem¬ ber of the class by occasionally contributing his notorious Fielder witticisms in his detached, con¬ fident manner.

JAMES SCOTT HUNTER No people at all, not even ourselves, is entirely our friend. A Rebel from way back, Scott came to Coun¬ try Day in the fifth grade. An outstanding mem¬ ber of the class, he is talented athletically, aca¬ demically, and artistically. Scott has been a leader in many areas of school life including Post Script Editor, Monogram Club President, and cap¬ tain of the football and wrestling teams. His opin¬ ion has been respected both as an Honor Council and Monitor Editoral Board member. As a Junior, he was a winner of the Harvard Book award and the Ernest B. Wright award. In addition, Scott has been the class punster with a philosophical turn. DOUGLAS MITCHELL HOLBROOK ... Things that I could do without... freck¬ les and doubt. During his nine years at Country Day, Mike has been a citadel of common sense and practicali¬ ty. He has strengthened the athletic program by his participation in football, wrestling, and track. In 1967 he was elected alternate captain of the football team. His innocent and modest counte¬ nance hide a playful and often mischievous nature. Mike ' s strength of character has helped form the strong foundations on which the Class of 1968 has rested. JOHN WESLEY JONES Fate laughs at probability. A unique and often pragmatic outlook coupled with driving determination has characterized John ' s nine years at Country Day. He has been an ex¬ tremely capable student, decidedly inclined towards math and science. John has been Top Scholar for the past four years, and he was chosen as the re¬ cipient of the Sewanee Book award in 1967. He has been manager of the football teams in the eleventh and twelfth grades and surprised everyone by becoming one of its most valuable members as a Senior. Because of his outstanding endeavors, he received the Charlotte Optimists Sportsmanship Award for football in 1967.
