me-Q LiI:beth come back again. Libbeth was quite precocious when she first arrived at C.A. in 1954. She alarmed everyone with her ability to consume books at an extraordinary rate and won the reading prize at the end of the year. In addition, she found time to write a book - weekly installments were read to an avid class - and also established herself as an authority on Shakespeare, her childhood idol until Johnny Cash and Hank Snow came along. Young Libbeth also played bruising football in the baggage car, much to the consternation of the B 8: M, but her promising career was brought to an abrupt halt when service between Belmont and Concord was terminated. Libbeth's Hair for vigorous athletics has since diminished, but academically she has maintained herself handsomely - math sends her into a tizzy CBJ - and she has worked ably for the Clmmelemz since Class VI. You might not think of Libbeth, with her mezzo-soprano-alto voice, as much of a chanteuse, but wow can she sing Prince Edward Island is Heaven to Me ! This has been her No. 1 song every year, and with good reason, since her first summer on P.E.I., she has been Canadian-minded in every respect. Probably Libbeth will disappear over the border shortly after graduation, diploma still in hand. ffizagafg go 'zcfon Alcanna 35 Clover Street Belmont 78, Mass O lost, and by the wind grieved, ghost - Thomas Wal e

Schoolhouse Lane Morristown, New jersey Thought is the labour of the intellect, rexerie is its pleasure. Cjoznefirz .gaftus Ni1m ' lIV00cZy - H ago Nina came to CA. as a ferocious, rip-roaring, Western-clad III who loved to pinch people in French class and spank seniors. She won great distinction in the boarding department for her magnificent voice in the game of barnyard, and for a while was known as Stella fwid a joisey accentj. Since then she has been a member of the hockey and lacrosse varsities, Head of Current Events, and a strong supporter of the alto section in Chorus, Choir, and the class octet. You can always hear some classical music playing in her room and see her name on all the concert lists. What with all this, reading magazines fespecially Porzfj, and having impromptu wrestling matches with any unwise opponent, there is little time left for work. You think that's bad! I haven't even started yetll' Woody automatically sets the alarm for 4 A.M, on Sunday nights. Nina certainly would be the head of the CA. Grammarian Society if there were one. Whatever you do, be sure not to say something like, She ran to milklunch like she'd just gone off her diet. Those unfortunate ones caught with bad grammar are immediately corrected and called idiot child . She says this only because she has a redhead's temper. No need to ask, Does she, or doesn't she . . .? XM 4ri'r-' ily? .Staff

cqgigaif Bonney .fjlmifrfi Bonney Lowell Road Concord, Mass. But the child that is born on the Sabbath day Is brave and bonny, and good and gay. -- Unknown Bonney is one of the last survivors from the lower school days, which means that she has witnessed many happenings at C. A. As one of the little girls she crowned the May Queen, enjoyed the lower school operettas and was present when the school had its first fair. This year she headed the Greens Committee after many years of being an active member. How did Mrs. Hall ever get locked under the stage? Some will remember the time that Bonney conveniently managed to lose her voice during the middle of an oral quiz. Since then, however, she has managed to make use of her voice while singing with the jabberwocks. Bonney's favorite hobby is going places. She spent a couple of summers on the Wfest Coast, a summer in the Canadian Rockies and on a ranch in Arizona. Rumors have been heard concerning an eventful trip which she took last summer. Vive la France! Bonney joined in the enthusiasm of the country - and what's this we hear about a bikini? Bonney has contributed much energy to the Blue team. Each season she can be found participating on a varsity, whether it be held hockey, basketball or lacrosse. We are sure she will always have fond memories of her years at Concord Academy. f.' if . an akztw - L' -I , g 'A ws' 5 ii. .
