They gave the play, The SIIUZI' Queen. a fiascol Will they ever forget Ninas dress? june came and with Class Day they were in the Upper School. Whzlt a surprise they all had at the picnic be- fore Freshman year! There were nine new girls: Judi, Frances, Carol, Georgia, Linda, Alice, Bar- bara, Vega, and Bev. With Betsy as president and Miss Coe as advisor they began a successful year. They had two projects: making favors for the Christmas Sale and selling calendars for their treasury.
