The little fishes of the sea, They sent an answer hack to he. The little fishes' answer was We cannot do it, sir, hecaase- He sent to thenz again to say It will he hetter to oheyf' The fishes answerea' with a grin. Why, what a tenzper you are in ! But with his kindness and his wit The fishes gladly swallowed it. He taught of history and of reasons For love and hate and war and treasons. He spoke of great democracies, Of bills and rights and liberties. And with his grin and winning ways He posted signs and produced plays. Christmas greens he grew for the Fair, And cornbatted the slump most everywher And when the fishes saw all this They did agree in perfect bliss: Hook, line, and sinker we have fell To you, To you, to you . . . OEDELIH C . AND THANKS TO MRS. HALL Children of pure unclouded brow And dreaming eyes of wonder! Though time be fleet, and we and thou Are half a life asunder, Thy loving smile will surely hail The love-gift of a fairy-tale. A Without, the frost, the blinding snow, The storm-wind's moody madness Within, the l'irelight's ruddy glow The childhood's nest of gladness-. Thy magic words shall hold us fast: We shall not fear the raving blast. And though the shadow of a sigh May tremble through this story, For happy childhood days gone by, I And vanished summer glory- It shall not touch with breath of bale The pleasure of our fairy-tale. i E SMH: ,S ap W HQ i FACULTY First Row: Clark, Sonthoff, Rule.

Concord, Mass. When Molly came here in the fourth grade she had the longest and the thick- est braids ever known. Molly has always been a girl with high principles, and one of her outstanding characteristics is the straightforward way in which she does things. One of her many interests is gen- ealogy. In this she has traced her family back for generations. No matter what the program is for sports Molly is always there raring to go. However, the most significant event of all was when, in Class III, she won the fifty-yard dash for the whole school. Outside of school she loves hiking in Vermont or out west. In her own way Molly has become a loyal and hard-working member of the class. How can we talk about Molly and not mention good old Lassie? This old gal has hardly ever missed a day of school in nine years. No matter what the weather she always shows up. She is the best-hu- mored and the most stable member of our class. She will never be forgotten. This blond bombshell entered Concord Academy in the Freshman class as a boarder having come from the deep south. In the middle of class three she became a day student. As Daphne is an ardent skier she is known for wonderful Brom- ley week-ends where she continues to up- hold the Southern tradition of open door hospitality at the cabin',. On skis Daphne is as reckless as one might expect a bomb- shell to be, However, one should be care- ful not to be deceived by this seemingly carefree appearance as she has a definite mind of her own. It is rumored that Daphne is interested in animal husbandry and we are informed that such a course is offered at Colorado A 84 M. Having completed a successful pair of beer mug socks, she is engrossed in the ambitious project of sweater manufacturing. Daph- ne's enthusiasm for B. M. classes should be noted as a clue to her conscientious mind. Don't be led to believe that this girl lacks a sense of humor, it's just that school is foremost in her thoughts. Daphne is really an indispensable fixture in the class as she's always ready with a smile. Qiczyoliwe Qc-ailz feen Qfzace ffDdPhll Chat,-2 Garfield Rd.

Ft 5 5 l We who have loved and enjoyed lis- tening to Verals voice carolling through concerts and class shows have often felt how her voice mirrors Vera herself. There is a lightness, a beauty, and a sincerity in Vera's music which is Vera. She first joined us in Class III with stories of Cam- bridge, Hancock Point, Maine, and Shady Hill productions. She quietly has fun do- ing the things she likes to do-whether it be taking German because it's so much fun , taking walks outdoors in the mid- dle of winter because it's really good for your health or riding around in Jaguars, just because. Her trip to Europe and espe- cially Norway last summer is another ex- ample of this. Vera's talents are many and varied. Although she is best known for her voice, which she gives not only to school concerts but to church choirs as well, she has also become an actress, tak- ing the lead in the school play, and has been known to produce ski sweaters, in almost a moment's notice. She sadly ad- mits, however, that she has not yet learned how to cook. There is a blond girl who has no curl Right in the middle of her forehead. When she is fair she is very, very fair, But when she is stormy the blond turns to red. Upon meeting Matilda one should be careful not to be deceived by the old-fash- ioned name. She has brought numerous vocal honors to herself and the school and is well on her way to operatic success. Her large brown eyes do a good job of reveal- ing the insatiable mind behind them, which is intrigued by various written works composed in the olde Englishe style. Although Mitty may never reach sensational heights as a literary critic, you may some day be blinded by blinking neon signs. Look up and read themg you may be surprised at what you find.

When she got rheumatic fever that year, we realized that her wild stories of summers at Prout's Neck, the way she could sit with her legs behind her, and the way she always got, with Kate, the first and darkest tan in the spring, were only the outward things that we missed. When she came back in class II it was hard to remember she had ever been gone. We never heard anything about it from her, and she was in the midst of us making too much noise in the halls, cramming French, and going on Skiing excursions. We'll remember Pam not for any superficial blazes of glory, but for her steady courage and her sense of humor which comes out even at the drear- iest hour.

X r, riiiiillilltlil Who is that tall, attractive girl with so much poise and drive? Why of course it's Ashley, svelt on the outside, and almost tomboy on the inside. It will be a long time before the school forgets her per- formance as Abigail in The Crucible which was given with Groton last year. And it will be years before anyone can replace her as chief organizer of ping pong tournaments, and clean-up squads for fairs and dances. It seems that Ashley is on every varsity sports team, or else is the Blues' greatest supporter through thick and thin. Ashley has a few problems like not being able to get the car often enough, but once she drives her family station wagon into school, you can be sure it's orgy time . Ashley has certainly been a great addition to the class of '56, and her cheery greeting what did you think of the history? will long be remembered. On Christmas day, 1938, the iirst Noel came into the world kicking and scream- ing. Needless to say, she was given a good spanking. Noel Ann, alias the animal , the name' given to her while serving in stalag 17, is in 1956 a jumbled mass of molecules, confused ambitions, and con- vulsed philosophic ideas. A second cousin to a paramecium, Muffy, aided by her long black cilia, slithers through the cor- ridors of C. A., and without a bobby pin she travels incognito behind a veil of black. Anyone home? As president' of the Purp, that worthy establishment, she has withered many a weed, and has become a hrst rate bridge player. Her motto, one peek is worth two good f1nesses , has pulled her out of many a tense situation. Although contrary to her ever bubbling exterior, Muf is an ardent lover of seri- ous conversation. She has a probing curi- osity into all types of philosophical mat- ters and finds the world a seething caul- dron of mystery, especially on the rocks overlooking the ocean and Spain at 2 a.m. Her discussions, rapidly converted into arguments, tend to become red hot before the water has even begun to boil. For the past four years Muffy has added color, if not bloodshed to this thriving community. Zoe! miizze dyccriiszcorllz .Mzzjfy A1zinm! Porter Rd.

Lewis Because life is a mystery to Sue, she delights in exploring it. There is no way of telling how she will next explore, maybe by fulfilling her ambition to go 20,000 leagues under and get tangled up in weeds fChesterfields, of coursej. Su- zle, along with the best of us, has her little peculiarities, she loves to ski but hates the cold weather, fwe feel that this is due to the fact that she went through a thorough thawing-out process in the hills of North Carolina this past sum- merj, she also has been knitting on the same black and blue sweater for approxi- mately the last three years. The black and white Springer of many aliases, QRoddy, Boogie, Sir, etc.j, has accompanied Sue to and from school for many years, and has chaperoned her faithfully through all of her classes. Like the white rabbit, Sue never has enough time, Will the mystery ever be solved? An enigmatic personality, Carol appears only when necessary. The remainder of the time she usually sits in Room 7, eat- ing her lunch. This girl is fond of put- ting Christmas bows on dogs, and of murmuring hysterically to herself when she sees a large truck approaching the car. Carol also has a mad passion for skinning cats fdead ones, that isj and poor Frohn- las fcatj is somehow getting the worse end of the deal. She is a great one for languages, and will probably end up as a translator for the United Nations. Also, in spare moments this girl will go any- where, as long as it is toward England and away from school. As for college, well . . . qui mit? Deepsdoog is known for her kindly cynicism, her UNQUES- TIONABLE good sense, and fof course, her battered and scarred Chameleon folder. A staunch supporter of everything that is worthwhile, she would often rather go home and wash her hair. Wheii in doubt, trouble, or spiritual torment, Carol finds solace in the comforting syl- lables of BoLOGna , although we all know that life for her is foujowzr gaic, . , . always a good shown. euro!

Arriving back from Canada in our freshman year, not much was heard from her except for an occasional cheer for the Reds and a casual remark about Einstein's theory. But, along about our junior year she started adding a real lift to our class. She was always the first to get behind an idea and push it through to a grand and glorious finish. As head of Student Council, Sue's strength and enthusiasm have spurred the school on to seek higher goals and to reach them as with the complete honor system. ' Elle aime beaucoup le joie de Vivre . This shows in her musical talent ranging from a Scrub Me Mamma with the Boogie Beat , to a Beethoven Sonata, in her love for modern art, in her imagina- tive methods of raising money fshoe-shin- ingj, in the novelty of her mooing car horn, and in her love of wit. Above all, -Sue's seriousness, her wise advice, and her willingness to help, to lead and to follow have pulled us to- gether to make this year our best. Mama first appeared in our midst in the fourth grade, She has always been in- terested in music and art but her main talent lies in acting. This was first brought to our attention when she had the lead in a small lower school play. In the middle of the performance, to our horror, we saw that the petticoat to Marna's costume was coming down. The rest of the cast pan- icked, but Marna, with the poise of an experienced actress, let it fall and calmly continued as though nothing had hap- pened! Since then she has been in four of the Groton-C. A. plays, sent our class into hysterics with her reciting of poetry fwith piano accompanimentj, and now, in her senior year, has become the head of Drama Club. Among other things Marna loves animals, people, travel and Groton School fshe plans to send all of her chil- dren therej. She has contributed much to the class in her nine years, for which we are truly grateful. What would we ever do without Marna?

However, marching is not her strongest athletic ability, as many Blue victories in hockey, soccer, and basketball are examples of Di's teamwork. Perhaps Mrs. Hall will remember the day she and her guests visited the middle-school,- Healey, come out from behind that door. Along the academic line, Di can be found drinking a pot of tea over Italy at a minimum of three times a year. Meanwhile the ring sat on the sink falias faucet j.

Her cries of Take home your gym-suits, Blues and Have you taken a shower P have rung out in the locker room for the past two years, during which she has reigned as Captain of the Blues. A staunch supporter of stage crews and clean-up committees, Tink can often be seen, sport- ing a pair of worn out jeans, in thevicin- -ity of the gym on week-ends. Her many summer vacation trips out west, about which we have heard very little, have kept us guessing, to say the least, but last year in the Hallowe'en party she condescended to show us all how to tip our ten gallon hats in the true western fashion. Her hu- mor and good common sense have set an excellent example for all those who know the blond dynamo. .OPC-afv1'wa mlfen Midway Tinke1 ' Bedford Rd.

Well, this thing certainly is small, in fact she barely reaches the proverbial height of 5' 2 , and as for being good . . .! Full of energy, Natalie is a terror to bath tak- ing boarders. Convinced they are not do- ing the proper job, she sprinkles them lib- erally with Ajax, shampoo, and what ever else happens to be handy, then skips the coop leaving her victim helpless in the tub. Even the teachers are not invulner- able to her tricks. Sophomore year, by means known only to a few, she suc- ceeded in letting water out of the tub while remaining in the next room. Often laughing, jonsie usually looks as though she had just stepped from the pages of Vogue. She has a great fond- ness for champagne, and if you ask her about New Yearls Eve or a recent wed- ding she participated in, usually the only response you will get is Oh, that cham- pagne! Natalie really isn't as feather-brained as this makes her sound. For many terms she has served ably on House Committee, and this year she was a member of that invaluable group, Dance Committee. Upon her recent arrival into the board- ing department, Debby has maintained her title of Queen of the Woodpile . She seems to like cold breakfast and has an aversion to ringing bells. Debby, who for five years has practically been riding her horse to school, now just has to ski across the hockey field. She seems to find it much more convenient. She kept the books in Class Two, do- ing a wonderful job straightening out our motions, and emotions by reading the minutes of the last meeting . Debby defies the laws that say all wo- men gabble, for it seems that she only speaks when she has something worth- while to say. This is often times very rei freshing. It constitutes a big part of her character and thus causes her to be more sensible than most of us. However, if any- body thinks that Deb is an angel, they're sadly mistaken, for she silently joys in all sorts of devilment. Qiehorczlz O41-1'lQ1llG11 Debby Sudbury Rd.

This we can do nothing about- but we can surmise that in the near fu- ture the newest biological discovery may well be hers. Although not a pure-bred Virginian, Margaret is considered to be the closest thing to-a southern belle that we have around here. More often than not she can be found in a heap on the floor in front of her locker with a pile of books sur- rounding her, but she always manages to come through looking coy and poised, her eyelashes fluttering at a phenomenal rate. On the serious side, though, Margaret is a girl of many talents. Aside from getting the most fantastic marks, she manages to get mixed up in all sorts of outside ac- tivities. She has been in three Groton plays, from which she merged with many fascinating tales. As class secretary her Se- nior year she patiently took minutes dur- ing all our heated discussions in class meetings with never a complaint. In the boarding department she was a permanent member of house committee and head of the cooking club, in which we all had a gay time ruining Mrs. Hall's and Miss McBee's kitchens. But aside from all these admirable contributions, Margaret will be remembered most for her quiet manner, patience, and willingness to listen sympa- thctically to other peoples' problems.

It seems as though Helen always has the calm sophisticated approach to things of a woman of the world. But wait . . . how does that account for such things as her frantic trips for lunch which she con- sumes in five minutes, her desire to fly an airplane? We will admit, however, that she has more common sense than most of us when it comes to checking the gas gauge in the car, locking doors to keep burglars away, or wearing a hat in cold weather. Scholastically, her nibs enjoys biology and seems to get a terrible delight out of skinning cats. Incongruous as these things may seem they nevertheless afford great speculation. Above all, however, Helen wants to teach and work with chil- dren for she considers this the most worth- while of jobs. Any moment she can Helen loves to relax with a good book. Often one might hear her quietly reciting lines from Kipling's poem IF . . . If you can keep your head when all about you ' Are losing theirs and blaming it on you . Frederica is known to all by various and sundry names: J. Fred, Muggs, Beaky, but most of all by Freddy. From the moment she entered C. A. in her fourth class year she has shone in athletics, and in her Ju- nior and Senior years she was elected Red Captain. Her riding and skiing ability is envied by many, and on those skiing trips to Mont Tremblant she manages to have the best time of her life . Of course one must not overlook her excellent voice, with which she rises above the alto sec- tion of chorus and Glee Club. It's just that she is such an ardent fan of Bach and Bartok, to say nothing of Gilbert and Sul- livan! Freddy's personality is rather interest- ing, to say the least. She often becomes engrossed in philosophic discussions, but the next moment she is completely wrapped up in her gay old self, brought forth in the back room story . Her in- imitable, roaring laughter coming down the hall is an unquestionable sign of Fred- dy's approach. CgF'0ClQ1'1.CCt CCTGAJZOI' QYZUIIQJ' F1'eddy ' Beauty, j1'. ' The Plateau Windsor, Vermon Qqfzargavei Qwcgewfane Margie Magg0t 755 Concord Ave. Belmont, Mass. As a member of the naturally-curly- haired clan, Margie has been with us for six years. She has quietly and loyally backed her friends and the class. One could often find her working on the dec- orations for a dance or organizing a clothes sale to raise money. Although Margie is quiet, she is always game for a trip in paddle-boats or spur of the mo- ment excursions Qthose trips to the white bowlj. The West Coast has become a fa- vorite pastime and interest, despite the fact that she is headed toward the South next fall. The main thing the Margie is famous for is her various assortment of cars-showing up one day in a '55 light blue Mercury, and the next day in a small vox-wagon. She also has the ability to be- come a lion one minute and then change to a lamb the next. On the academic score, Margie has maintained a constantly strong average, as well as admiration for her se- rious thinking. How can she help but suc- ceed? A deep silence reigns over the board- ing department, when suddenly Way down yonder in the Indian Nation is heard wa-fting out of Sarah's room. If one is so foolish as to enter the Nichols abode, she will invariably find the lights blink- ing and the floor swaying from the noise of Nich's guitar being amplified and the tapping of her big toes Qwhich adds the necessary affectj. Coming to us in the middle of her fifth class year, Sarah has taught the boarding department the art of spoon warfare and shade snapping. Leo, Punk, and 'bicycle trips out Lowell Road and to Maynard have won Sarah renown. Also an excel- lent rider, skier, and sailor, she was 'elected head of the outing club in her senior year. Sarah, too, adds entertain- ment to the House Committee meetings, which have been blessed with her pres- ence for several years. When not chop- ping wood or thinking up other things to do on dance week-ends, Sarah may be found studying hard with her earphones on or going over the class accounts to see why there isn't as much money as there should be. .afiiaa ,.

This year she was seen running, with the skill of a pro- fessional, a Student Council meeting dur- ing the scarlet fever epidemic , playing hymns fher specialtyj for the morning assemblies, and keeping an eagle eye out for offenders in Glee Club. Judy has chuckled, danced, and schussed her way through six and a half years at C. A. Whether struggling with her History or advanced Algebra, Mr. Oedel's merry sunshinel' always has an encouraging word for everyone, It has been a source of amazement' to all Bio students as to how she manages to juggle her split Bi- ology classes and yet is still able to keep such beautifully accurate notes. Her teach- ers are sure to remember Judy for her lit- tle faces feither happy or sadj with which she punctuates all her papers. It might be said of Judy that she has the seven year itch , as she never seems to be without something to do or say. Gail is another of the nine senior mem- bers of the boarding crew. Soon after she joined this ,illustrious group it became ap- parent that pulchritudinous Palmer was a femme fatale. She surprised us all this year by changing her alliance from red and white to red and black. How 'bout that? l Gail Won stage fame in her sophomore year through her memorable performance in Elizabeth fbe Queen as a Hir-tatious young court strumpet, But she gained im- mortality in the role of Avia in the Hal- lowe'en party junior year. Avia, quam magnus nasus est tibi! She is also' noted for her remarkable sports ability . . . The runner scores again . . . and her ability as a bridge player is unequaled. I bid thirteen spades.

P. Records, and the sure test of a good book- I couldn't put it down! From her you hear that mocking giggle in the midst of a friend's most serious moment --unfortunately! Barbie has a pretty good idea of where things belong. For her, somehow, that dire tragedy is never too tragic. In fact it often turns into a com- edy, a process which happily surprises everyone concerned-except Barbie, who seemed to know it all along. She knows where she's going-Q Dream . . .Nj Her feet fthose belonging to the fastest run- ner, speediest wing and shootingest for- ward, are already headed in a definite direction, even when she is up in the clouds in those MATS. Since Lucy came to C. A. she has made herself a most distinct individual in the eyes of all. She has many attributes, and has contributed much to the prestige of both the class and the school. Academi- cally she ranks among the wizards. In baseball she swings a mighty mean bat to be sure, and as a player on the varsity bas- ketball team she is by no means a source of regret to the blues! But Lucy is espe- cially noted for her literary prowess. She has been on the Chameleon board for sev- eral years, and now as editor-in-chief of the magazine she has raised its standards to a height never before reached. Lucy's wit is of great rarity to say the least, and will not easily be forgotten, Un- heard-of is the day when she fails to coin a quick quip, and when the class takes on the task of entertaining the school en masse, her spontaneity gives rise to rev- olutionary ideas and she comes through with many laughs for everyone. 3 cluciie fjqilcizer ffLuC1,f!

By this we don't mean to simply say that Vicky lacks any of the fun and dev- ilment we all seem to possess but she has the gift of knowing when to be serious and when to raise the roof . Vicky has contributed to the school and the class by her enthusiastic leadership. -She has held office' from exchange editor of the Chameleon, to president of the class in 1955. Aside from this, she will be remembered for the Christmas fno even the name must be catchyj- Holi day Fair,7' that she organized. We ,shall never forget the rides to school, with Vicky laboring over unfin- ished French and always managing an A paper, or walking in the snow laughing about nothing and talking with complete ease about any phase of life, or even why life? We would call Vicky a lady in the genteel and true sense of the word. Our one wild and wooly Westerner joined the happy throng at Concord Acad- emy when we became terrible fours . There has not been a quiet moment since! Whether it be stories of Aspen skiing, Florida sun bathing, or her many rela- tives, Penny always keeps us laughing. She's a staunch supporter of the Glee Club, ready at any time to sing the Brahms Requiem. Penny was head of stage crew for the Groton play the year of our inimitable production of - Eliza- beth the Queen . The following year she made her debut on the stage at Groton in The Crucible . As head of Debate Club she has shown an unusual talent' funu- sual for herj of keeping quiet, and, we should add, of keeping her debates quiet. But finally, as we all ekpected, on one of those days when most people had slumped she crashed through with a memorable debate. Penny has been an in- genious art editor of the Chameleon this year, showing talent and originality. In fact, originality is her middle name. Cmarga re!

Q i . 1 .l 2 , Q3 Q .f2i2i2zt!ief'iteisitrilzaxzfali i So little yet so big! It is a mystery to us how Abby, about the smallest member of the class, ever does all she does. For seven years she has been tearing back and forth from the farm in Carlisle, where she exercises her horse, tends to the rac- coon, the cats, the dogs, and expresses her creative instincts in the kitchen, to C. A., where she works as diligently as any beaver getting results better than many of us who do nothing at home. The result of all this is that she never seems to have time to do those things she'd like to do, such as: taking a long walk, going down Mainen, reading Wm' and Peace, star-gaiing on the top of the windmill, and relaxing with a cup of tea. At school, Abby is always quietly backing us. If someone misses a hockey ball, she's there to get it. If someone falls by the wayside with the green plague, she knows how to take over. So, if she decides to go to Carleton, they'll be getting a good gal! As head of House Committee Wendy hath led the boarders in the paths of righteousness, her leadership made pleas- ant by her infectious laugh and good hu- mor coupled with an ingenuous frank- ness. She is especially famous for her many uncles and for a strange addiction, to fly- ing. What could be more enjoyable than viewing the campus in its entirety. while soaring into the wide blue yonder? She has her eye on Spain for the next trip. It has been noted also that Wendy some- times returns to the cave man era and dons leopard skins. She might have made some primitive primate a good wife. In spite of her many extra-curricular activities Wendy can often be persuaded to pass the time of day in that den of vice and corruption commonly known as the Purp. Her talent for bridge is best ex- hibited in that hideaway, What's trump? There is a great deal more to this girl than meets the eye. Within her hardy exoskeleton . . . who knows?

Vivacious and enthusiastic she will do anything for a good laugh. Certain strange and exotic color combinations are typical of her too. She always manages to make some choice remark at the wrong time and then the corridors echo with her famous laugh. Her appetite, which is enormous, never seems to affect her waist-line in the least. Annette is known, in our class, as the most aggressive and one of the best for- wards on the basketball team. Her abili- ties athletic-wise are amazing. She is val- uable to the Blues for her membership on practically all, if not all, of the varsity teams. Henry James would want to study her, the Brooklyn Dodgers would want to have her on their side, Lewis Carroll would love her fonce he got over the initial shockj, and she dehnitely has Inner Resourcesf' Not much more can be said about Annette because there just are not enough words to describe her. Katie has been with us for four years as Class Three blue captain Class Two president, and as Class One president. She has patiently rallied our feminine, Highty factions around her high standards and has kept the love and admiration of us all. She will always listen sympatheti- cally to our problems and is very gener- ous in the help that she gives us. Whether on the hockey field, at a coun- cil meeting or knee deep in a community fair project we can always count on her enthusiasm and her steady determination. Heading for Mills next year will see her bombing down the Pacific Mountain Ski trails and conquering all with her de- termination, easy disposition and friendly charm. California-here she comes! We won't forget her! Qcafe Katie Baker Bridge Rd. Lincoln, Mass Oflaflzalzie mlsop Qazndelf Nathalie HINMH 1002 Woodbine Place Lake Forest, Ill. Being one of the original trio on the boarding department, Nathalie has begged, borrowed, and bummed her way into the dark reaches of the purp. A form streaks by and the cry Deal me ini' re- verberates from every corner of the school. That's' Nathalie! What did this little fire ball do before she became a puffer? Hmm . . . She stud- ied the polution of the Concord River by actively taking part in underwater ma- noeuvers in class live. In class four she got rambunctious and started scaling the fire escapes. We never found out why, because in her spare time she was too busy counting on her knitting needles. In between knitting and other extra curricular activities, such as amazing sub- way trips and car rides, Nathalie keeps herself busy in the winter months by working on the lighting of our spring play. To be sure the chemistry lab is still standing, despite noble efforts on Natha- lie's part to find just the right solution , but there was a catastrophe in the Bi- ology labg Nat's cat had a red nose and a hangover from the concoction that failed to blow up in Chemistry. Besides all this, Nathalie has been on the varsity hockey team for three years and also the Reds' No. 1 double jump roper. Soon after her debut in our class in the junior year, Kay was recognized as an ex- traordinary comedienne, a reputation she has cleverly maintained with her witty humor and talent for mimicry. Her role as Mrs. Soames, an old biddy , in Our Town was acted to perfection, and she plays the piano like a second Liberace minus the candelabra. But, let it not be said that her interests are restricted to music and acting, although it is on these two that she hopes to build her career. Witli her determination and ability she will certainly enjoy success all her life. Kay discovered a new epoch of sobri- ety when she took up knitting socks, a talent which has been further encouraged by the recent addition to the family of a baby brother. She plays basket ball with the best of them, and in B. M. class has illustrated her amazing ability to relax completely. Needless to say, she will al- ways get along in this world. iX0f!l1'KllW gfblce Qlifcilfsou I f'KaJ,,'I Tower Rd.

Sayre, M Hare E England This year, Mrs. Sapp has taken over the task of instructing glee club and chorus, since Miss Loring was unable to be with us.

Our Christmas concert with Middlesex was as pretty as in former years, and our February concert with Exeter was certainly enjoyed by everyone. . Oklahoma! , sung by the boys along with the solos sung by Mitty Cole and Vera Clifford took the cake. In April, we will sing with Brooks. It's doubtful what the numbers will be, but we can be sure that we will be doing the drinking song with the catchy rhythm. 'The grand finale will be our concert with Concord High School and Middlesex. Many thanks to Mrs, Sapp and to the glee club for making this year another good one, 1f'Cl1'l'lCl lug Compared to past years Drama Club has grown tremendously not only in size but also in interest and actions. Early in the year we put on a play for the Christmas Fair. This play was Roark Bradford's How Come Christmas , the story which Mrs. Hall reads to us at Christmas time. During the winter term everyone was busy working on the C. A.-Groton play George Washington Slept Here . As this play is given here at Concord there are many girls working behind-the-scenes on various committees. Also, there are some girls who are in the play at Groton, The Inspector-Germ eral . In spite of the busy school schedule there has been much interest and participation in Drama Club which provided for much fun and activity. Under the superb direction of the inimitable Howard Oedel, C.Afs 1956 production of George Wfashington Slept Here was one of the most successful plays we have had in years. In her stage debut, Vera Clifford portrayed the cynical character of Annabelle with surprising conviction for a girl of such a contrary nature. Others in the cast who deserve mention and credit for their acting are Susie Sloan, Ally Ful- ler, Sandy Spencer, Ann Terry, Mitty Cole, Helen Hardcastle, and Belinda Burley. Much to our surprise we found that in the senior class we have a fifty year old matron, Kay Wilsoii. Having aged considerably since the beginning of her senior year, she portrayed Aunt Clarissa and will always be remembered for her famous Newton, close the door, I feel a draft. The cast received invaluable support from the stage crew under the direction of Mr. Bill Eddy. The set was the most professional ever to ap- pear on the Concord Academy stage, for it was the result of weeks of hard work on the part of this valiant crew. HOUSE COMMITTEE M. Lewis, W. Watts, S.
