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.

XIMENA LUISA LOBATO C. The world is so full of a number of things I ' m sure we all could be as happy as kings. Ximena, our foreign exchange student from Chile, has been a very special member of the class. With her expressive, and often humorous English, she has managed to brighten all of our days. She possesses an unbelievable amount of happiness which, combined with her flamboyant personality, has made her loved throughout the school. Ximena has been an honorary member of Aquilifer, French Club, and Spanish Club. Enthusiastic about every¬ thing, she was also a Rebel Rouser. SHARON LUCILLE JONES That virtue only is our bliss below, And all our knowledge is ourselves to know. Sharon joined us in 1962. Since then she has been one of our greatest achievers, quietly but distinctly leaving her impression permanently on our class ' record. Anytime there has been scholas¬ tic competition, Sharon has always been among the finalists. Excellence, cheerfulness, and con¬ tinual presence of mind characterize Sharon Jones. She has never been known to do anything unless it was to the utmost of her ability. JAMES HUNTER MARTIN III The whole life of man is but a point of time; let us enjoy it, therefore, while it lasts, and not spend it to no purpose. Hunter has been a member of the class since 1960, and has been a widely respected leader. As President of the Student Council, he has been noted for substantial innovations and beneficial accom¬ plishments. Hunter has been President of the Boos¬ ter Club and an Honor Council member. A serious scholar, Hunter has also been an important member of the football, wrestling, and track teams. Al¬ though he has never been without some responsibility to fulfill, Hunter can always be counted on for a spark of humor.
