Qff14467 Z'66l7fl Field feififibe The second of our exchange students was Ernest Ferrer. Ernest came from Mendoza, Argentina, a town about the size of Charlotte. A future engineer, he soon became known as the life of the party. His antics included going to the door of a woman's house and explain- ing in Spanish that he was the Argentinian ambassador and could she please tell him how to get to Washington. Ernest lived with Steve Wainscott and his family this year. This year East was fortunate enough to have two exchange students. One of these was Ana Maria Bromley from Lima, Peru. Ana Maria lived with Patty Delaaney, the chairman of the American Field Service Corn- mittee at East, and her family. Ana Maria, who speaks English and Spanish fluently, soon became accustomed to American and all its idioms. Ana Maria is on the surface a very reserved person, yet she fascinated all her new acquaintances this year with her Latin wit. First row: Patty DeLaney, Ana Maria Bromley. Sec- ond row: Nlr. Del.aney, hlrs. Delaaney, and hlilie Delaaney. Sitting: Steve Wainscott, Ernest Ferrer. Standing Mr. Wainscott, john Wainscott, and Mrs. Wain- SCOII. fl I mx! 'Z ', i I . , x if i

MILDRED CRAWFORD This year on September 27, 1962, in a ceremony before the Junior and Senior Classes, Mildred Crawford was crowned as Carrousel Princess for East Mecklenburg High. Mildred and the six other girls in the Carrousel Court were nominated by the twelve senior homerooms. The Senior Class then voted upon the seven girls nominated, and they elected Mildred East's Princess. The six other girls were Sarah Dorton, Janie Hocutt, Judy Little, Ann Johnston, Ann Newton, and Janice Pool. Mildred was crowned by C. W. Stacks, a representative from the Carrousel Committee. Tearfully, Mildred accepted her crown. It took her several minutes to regain her com- posure before she could make her acceptance speech. The zenith of Mildredis glory came almost two months later when she attended a dinner with Miss America and rode in the Carrouscl Parade. On Thanksgiving Day, Mildred rode in a baby blue Pontiac convertible which was decorated with gold satellite figures. Certainly, she will not soon forget her experiences in the two day festival.

Nominations were held in each senior home- room and the election was held by the Senior Class to choose the girl for the honor. Each candidate for the title was considered on the basis of scholarship, leadership, char- acter, and personal attractiveness. The winner would then be judged on the same characteristics in the contest in Rock Hill. In the spring Sarah attended a special weekend at Win- throp College in Ptock Hill, South Carolina. During the weekend a dance was held for all the girls holding the title. Sarah's picture also appeared in a special edition of The Johnsonian, the school newspaper, which sponsored the contest. The contest was started originally by The Johnsonian twenty-five years ago to recognize outstanding girls from senior high schools in South Carolina and sec- tions of North Carolina.
