g0J2E, BCUU255. Ianie Barney 3410 Volta Place N.W. Washington, D. C. Those who watch one rainbow after another dissolve into seven prisms, they seem to gather reputations for being rainbow chasers. - Sandburg You may have noticed a creature, characterized by her green hooded coat, her tweed skirt, and a circle or two under her eyes, roaming around Concord. Well, that's Barnes. lCourse, she's the best hockey player for the Reds. As a matter of fact, she seems to be so taken with hockey that Barnes and company have been known to make early morning excursions to sweep feathers off the hockey fields. This school is going to be awfully quiet in the years to come. No more will we hear Janie's beautifully trained voice flying through the halls, or, at an even lower altitude, in the assembly hall during chorus. A whistle, perhaps? Have you heard about her summer at Fort Hall, Idaho? If you haven't, you must go ask her. You'll probably find her in her room, that is, if you can stumble successfully through the maze of empty coke bottles. She's planning to put herself through college with the deposit refunds. Her skill as a camper is greatly renowned, especially on cold rainy nights when she played Washington crossing the Dela . . . er, Concord River in a desperate attempt to reach the warmth of the Burley household. But, needless to say, we have all noticed a remarkable and commendable change from the Class II and III jane Barnes, with the exception of a few unavoidable temper tantrums resulting in sore arms and perforated walls. Her marks have suddenly shot up, perhaps due to a bit of college influence, and her name appears only intermittently on the wood list. The Chameleon sparked this year, as did the board meetings, with Janie as editor-in-CHIEF! and student council wouldn't be the same without her.

M. I. Mary jane Have you ever listened dreamy-eyed to Yves Montancl, or schussed bare-headed down a mountain in a snowstorm? Une might think that M. is quiet and mysteriously pre- occupied, and she is, but not all the time! There are those abandoned moments which prompt: all night walks to the old North Bridge, the christening of Huron bathtub, or even the purchase of fascinating footwear! Perhaps her past life is to blame. We hear stories of those wild French Canadians in La Malbaie and Swiss riding teachers in Geneva . . . Anyway they must have had some effect because Mary jane speaks fluent French, and, in spite of those weekly Monday morning announcements, she's still head of French Club. M. J. is always tearing herself down and building others up. But don't be misled! Somehow, she has managed to hand in an A English paper, excell in a French play, hold her own in arguments, turn down much envied college weekends, and even draw a cross section of the kidney. This is only some of what we know about Mary Jane and some- times we see glimpses of much more. :flflazy gems Bancao 6 1261 Madison Avenue New York N Y 3 Le coeur a ses raisons que la Raison ne conait point.

0412115 Boo tg Anne Old Concord Road South Lincoln, Mass. To have, H to hold, - and - in time, - let go! - Lazzrefzfe Hope If you should happen to be in the parking lot some ordinary school day, you might see an apparition in a Canary yellow Model A Ford desperately struggling to park it. This is Anne, one of the few remaining girls at C. A. who has had the honor of being in the now non-existent fourth, fifth and sixth grades. In the seventh grade she was the calm president of Miss Clark's class, which was noted for shooting paperclips and using thumbtacks for things other than bulletin boards. Although it was a very difficult job, she kept order and has managed to live through the years here. Anne's tales of taking care of the Booth household while her parents are away are hair-raising, what with sick chickens, sick maids, and broken down cars. Oh dear, please tell me if I should cut it! is a common question asked by Anne about her hair. A former Purp goer, she has now joined the non-smokers once more and has admirably kept up her reputation as a member of this group. Anne has been in the class a long time, and there would be an empty place without her and her usually quiet ways.
