V. ersatile,vitol Phyllis Smith excels in everything she does, be it acting, dancing, or singing. Her charm and poise make her a student council president to be proud of. Smooth Nancy Warner wears clothes with a dash. She’s a globe-trotter from ’way back and is happiest when her bags are packed and she's ready for another jaunt. You’ll always find her with knitting needles in one hand and a bridge hand in the other. Although Miriam Watkins won’t admit it, she has a fetching Southern accent. Enthusiastic, effervescent, and industrious she knits sweaters like an automaton. You should see the contraption she invented to keep her balls straight when she knits plaid sox. Betty Wise commutes in a flashy convertible. She is a booster of all sports, but hockey and swimming are her favorites. When she croons in a husky alto and swings into a rhumba you think of Cuba. Bright eyes and red hair go with Eleanor Yohe’s spicy disposition. At a moment s notice, Elno will rattle off whole sentences of authentic Spanish or break into a boogie-woogie dance step. Again she can do many a classic composition justice on the piano. Happy-go-lucky Frances Kirkpatrick can always be counted on for a fourth at bridge. Willing, generous, sincere, she’s a grand friend. We were glad when Bonnie McCollum came back to Monti for some extra work. We were sorry when she changed her plans. She’s an attractive blonde, bubbling over with personality. Puckish Janet Root goes from one mishap to another. Most people would be overwhelmed with such a precarious existence, but it only adds to Jan’s enjoyment of life. Her twinkling eyes are serious only when she goes up to the art studio to work with her beloved paints.

Peppy Virginia Liese possesses on adventurous spirit ond a bottomless store of energy. As head of the art association she spends quite a bit of time in Wade. In her remaining leisure hours she rides horse-back or devours sandwiches and cookies. Startlingly white skin and raven hair complement each other in Charlotte Miller's sophisticated good-looks. Underneath the exotic exterior is a warmhearted, fun-loving girl who loathes hats and radishes. Louise Netzhammer’s cute profile is shown off to its best advantage by a baby bob. Casual is her motto when she embarks on a shopping tour. Iggi's deep brown eyes and low-pitched voice add to her appeal. Tall, blond Mary Alice Paine, industrious editor of the Times is a mile-a-minute conversationalist who uses arm-motions to illustrate her fantastic stories. Painie can be most intelligent one minute and lots of fun the next. When you see a figure walking down the hall with a swish and a purpose you know it's Pat Pringle, chairman of sponsors and president of International Relations Club. Conscientious is Pat's middle name. Nothing can hurry Jayne Ruslander for she takes her own time at anything she does. Besides being proficient at the Ouija board, Russ is a William Tell with a bow and arrow. Wee, blonde Rita Schwegel is a wizard with the needle and thread as well as sketching pencil. The clothes she designs and makes epitomize chic. A vie and stacks of records are her specialty. Betty Jo Skelton is interested in archery and tennis. She should do well in her chosen field, kindergarten work, for her disposition is a model one. 23
