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. .

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

Emie Em Oh, I wish I were in England! I could go to the Royal Ballet every night and have crumpets and tea! Emie's enthusiasm for England is apparent, for her room is strewn with British ballet calendars, annuals, dictionaries, records, and magazines. Because of the Australian influence in her family fone claim to fameuj, she says dressing gown instead of bathrobe and short-sightedl' instead of near-sighted . Speaking of short- sightedness, Emie has been known to squint at objects less than five feet away! This trait was discovered by her voice teacher, who was a bit amazed when she couldnlt read the music. Emie has been urged for many years to take lessons, but because of a British aunt's notion, she waited until she was seventeen. Except for one unrehearsed solo appearance, however, she has sung beautifully in Chorus, Choir and Octet. Another claim to fame is her Stuart nose, which she can trace back to her royal ancestors. Everyone knows Emie by her hysterical laugh, her shiny dark hair and her enthusiasm for sports. Her roommates know her by her distinctive feet, her glugging water after lights, and the baby sweater she has been working on for four years, Enzifta dlflagzynazd Stuart 85 Fairway Drive Princeton, New ersey Without music life would be a mistake - Nieizrclae
