You were very busy but still kind and interested. As the days passed we realized that we had a close friend and ally in you. In spite of the fact that you knew of every plan that we made you seemed to accept our idiosyncrasies as perfectly normal. Devoted to your job you never failed to offer us understanding, direction and patience. You will always symbolize the spirit of friendship and enthusiasm which we found at Mount Vernon Junior College. With love and gratitude we dedicate the 1960 BELL COTE to you, Miss Jeanette Page Moore. 8 r. and Mrs. Lloyd “The light which we have gained was given us not to be ever staring on, but by it to discover onward things more remote than our knowledge.” John Milton, Areopagitica 9 DOROTHY WILLIAMSON B.S., Beaver College Director of Admissions FLORA BRIDGES B.A., Barnard College M.A., Columbia University Dean LAURA MAE KRESS A.B., Oberlin College Assistant to The Dean in charge of Student Activities MRS.

We have a lot of crazy times to remember. The first year at Mount Vernon centered around “food”! Sitting in your room and stuffing ourselves with cookies, pizzas and even more “mighty moes.” “I’ll start my diet tomorrow.” By the end of the year we were thirteen bulging pounds heavier. Boy, did we look healthy! I’ll never forget “Blackie’s” and the check. We both dreaded Sunday phone calls. Our afternoons were kept busy, crossing off days on the calendar, and warning you to slow down before you choke yourself! “Oh, Daddy will die when he gets the phone bill.” ‘Til do Government in a minute.” “First, I must polish the nails, roll my hair up, wash clothes, and pack.” “Do you want some tuna fish?” “Have any sugar?” Weekends at Hampden-Sydney, Roanoke, and Virginia Beach were fantastic! Tell us Sandra, how was the “Old South Ball?” All these memories and many more will always be remembered. See you this sum- mer. Take care and be good. Love Ya! Ellen DOROTHY BLAKELY 645 East College Street Griffin, Georgia Dear Dottie, Little Miss Miscellaneous. A girl always helpful and who get things done, and always ready to have fun. I will always remember the darling girl with the cute turned up nose, big blue eyes and a ready smile. Oh, the wonderful times w r e have had . . . New York, the Biltmore, Palisades, Blakely’s, the trip spring vacation, the “Old South Ball” in Atlanta, Sewanee, Phi Delta Theta, Bermuda, Wheelock. She is a real great roommate and not once did she fuss w f hen she stumbled over a hun- dred shoes in the middle of the night. Kind and considerate, she has won a place in all of our hearts.

Care to sell any dough- nuts and hot chocolate tonight? Still loathe “Living Doll”? It’s Friday — can’t wait to see “Top Hat!” The cobwebs have certainly accumulated in that mail box, eh what? Another late show tonight. “Shane — come back, Shane — cornfields.” Patterns! “Have to go back to school for a few minutes to see if I signed out.” Scrounge, care for some bubble gum? Those eyes are watch- ing you! Remember when Peter Prep be- came an effigy? Still crave Josh? No, Ma’- am, no matter how hard you try, you can’t forget. Love, “Kutschet” 27 SHEILA BREWSTER 663 Walden Road Winnetka, Illinois Dear Sheils, A 5:00 a.m. riser . . . how about a Merri- weather Omelet ’a la Brew, or a new fang- led recipe with onions? . . . let’s discuss Dulles’ Foreign Policy just to get into the political swing of things! . . .

EMILY DEAN 70 Black Horse Lane Cohasset, Massachusetts Dear Lou, Girl with blonde hair, first short then long . . . remodeling brand new dresses . . . skeleton pictures from Yale on our walls . . . bulletin board jammed with cards, pic- tures and telegrams . . . boys at the gate- house . . . cocker spaniel faces . . . letters from a Navy man . . .

It has been a wonderful year. Love, Brew 29 PAGE DeFOE Nutmeg Lane Westport, Connecticut Dear Page, Your 3:00 a.m. bed time . . . swollen glands gave you an appearance that no one else had . . . but not even you could understand why four packs of cigarettes a day didn’t turn you green ... it would have been ap- propriate since green and black are your favorite colors. Listening to records after hours and read- ing were always factors in your daily life. Your pet peeves clung to you as fits do . . . Everyone inevitably saying, “I wish I was,” instead of “I wish I were,” and peo- ple who insist that you button your button- down collars. I guess it’s because you’re frank enough to say that it bothers you. Many would say that your favorite people were a strange choice, but they are far bet- ter than most. Isn’t it “owls” first then H. L. Mencken, Dylan Thomas and Theolon- ius Monk? About 100 years from now there may be an intellectual owl who has a strange apti- tude for garlic bread, living in Mexico, an- swering to the name of Persephony, hold- ing the spirit of Page DeFoe. Love to all the “owls” down the hall. Anne Taylor BETSY DEVLIN Lincoln Road Wayland, Massachusetts Dear Betsy, We remember your favorite expressions: “Finnn..e Thank you” . . . “The noise, I just can’t stand it” . . . “I ' m so sleepy, I got up at five” . . . “All I want is a good solid piece of meat.” And your very pre- dominant habits like . . . double ice cream cones at the field house, and 5 cups of steaming Yuban Coffee each day. Pet peeves consist of cold weather, baggy Ber- mudas, and ugh! — caviar. Your favorite activities are eating gobs of Tobler Choco- late. We remember your long, fast walks to Georgetown — destination grocery store. We all admire your athletic enthusiasm for hockey and basketball. Hard worker in all her subjects, plus plenty of determina- tion. We’ll never forget, either, the day you said, with great consternation, that you couldn’t fit your dress over the ironing board. Love, Gwen Rowan 30 SUZAN DOUGLAS 742 Stratford Road Winston-Salem, North Carolina Dear Suzie: Well I guess the first thing you’ll say to Bob is, “Let’s go have a cigarette.” I wish I could remember how many times I’ve heard that knock on the door and that little voice say those five words! I know I’ll always hear you saying, “I won- der what my honey’s doing now” or “He’s my honey.” I can see you now reading away on “The Marine Corps Wife 1 . ” Suzie, you sure did hate those English Compositions and those Government quizzes! What are you ' going to do with your gray skirt? You couldn’t possibly wear it again after those many diet days when you wore it. Surely do hope Bob likes egg salad sand- wiches and BLT’s toasted because I don’t think I’ve ever seen you eat anything else, do you? It seems like I had to go and miss the big- gest event of your life at MVJC but I’ve heard accounts of it from everyone. I be- lieve it happened May Day weekend in the cocktail lounge at the Shoreham. Anyway, I know that when I get back you were sport- ing something new on the third -finger of your left hand. I guess it all started on an airplane flying over North Carolina. Where will it end up? See you July 9, Jay ANNE DUNCAN 2108 Clarinda Wichita Falls, Texas Dear Anne, Do you think we’ll ever forget this year? “If anyone calls me, tell them I’ll be back in about an hour.” “Oh gosh, suppose that phone is for me.” . . . “Think I’ll do my term paper that’s due in tomorrow.” . . . “This is eat dinner with Mother and Daddy night.” . . . “He really loves life and is so intelli- gent.” Do these quotations sound familiar? Bring back memories? Know you’ll have fun, next year in Washington. Really, Anne, this year has been great. Thank you for everything. I’m going to drive to D.C. next year to see you. Sandra Barker 31 7 DAPHNE DUTTON 5805 Brookside Drive Kenwood Chevy Chase 15, Maryland Dear Daphne: “Dut-Dut” ... a cheerful smile ... a good word for everyone and a sympathetic ear . . . her “Anyone wdnt to contribute to the juke box?” and “Hon, can I have just a sip?” ... A member of the “Field House Femmes” . . . diet lunches and “let ' s see — I ' ve had 200 calories so far today — ” . . . A tall svelte blonde with a French twist . . . New York, Princeton, Yale, Annapolis, Quantico and W L! . . . “Fantastic!” An habitue of Maggie ' s, Old Europe, Bolling A.F.B. with a flair for Toms and Bills . . . “The heavenly six” ... A talented artist “mass production style” and a champion- ship golfer ... in short, a wonderful gal whom we ' ll always remember. KAREN GIESELMAN 5510 Montgomery Street Chevy Chase 15, Maryland Dear Karen, Do you remember when your favorite ex- pression was, “I just don ' t believe it!!” And your individual habit was wearing a rose over your right ear . . . your favorite activ- ity was singing for Mr. E. — sing, sang, sung!! And your pet peeves — late, unan- nounced meetings and rehearsals that nev- er started on time — and you always made them on time! And your favorite shades of purple and those orange T-strap flats and tights! All coupled with wonderful highly seasoned foods flavored with two or three cha-cha’s. And your favorite subjects were English Lit. and Music — and any place was the place when you were in love. And when I think of you — I hear “the sound of music” as you sing once more! Love ya, Jimmie 32 MARY WAITE HAMRICK 700 S. Limestone Street Gaffney, South Carolina Dear Mary, Have you done your French? How long did it take? . . . Tell us about the KA ' s at Caro- lina! . . . I’m so embarrassed . . . Evenings at the Fontainbleau . . . How about dinner at the “Blue Mirror?” . . . Madras all the way . . . Have you been to the airport late- ly r ... sweetness and light . . . How about a ride in the Bird? . . . Member of the Big Four Tour of Lauderdale, Miami, and the Bahamas . . . Beautiful crocodile tears . . . Pinned?? . . . Diamonds are a girl’s best friend . . . one-twelfth — 1 12. JUDY HECKER 1431 N. E. 102nd Street Miami 38, Florida Dear Judy, Hey Bo Diddley. “Whoops!” Almost got in late too! Okay, where are you going this weekend — Quantico? Any mail? Oh yes, Mom’s always faithful ! This year you stood up for the Navy (and Marines), but what about next year, Judy? Will the Army win? Anyone for a little music on the tape re- corder? “Hey Mac!” Do you think you will ever find that unleeching individual? Well, brown eyes, see you sometime between Nan- tucket and Miami. Love, Linda Jones 33 JANE HOOKER 757 Rivercrest Drive Abilene, Texas Dear Jane, Direct communications . . . pink sheep . . . I’m from Texas . . . what’s wrong with my socks . . . Admit you’re wrong . . . Imagin’ that . . . But ya’ll, I can’t afford it . . .

Dear Nancy, As 1 think of our five years at Mount Ver- non my most vivid memory of you on camp- us is handling money for some organiza- tion. Are you sure the Day Student trea- sury wasn’t spent at Riziks or Erlebacher? When in doubt of your whereabouts one could always succeed in waking you out of a sound sleep to hear your intelligent greet- ing of “Huh”? Do you remember the day in April you found out you had unlimited cuts since November? “Oh Swell”! And that party you had after the May Day Dance that everyone tried to organize turn- ed out so well in spite of your pet peeve — inevitable complications. Those long hours spent on English paid off, for you were one of the few initiated into “Optima” that memorable day in May. And those many ex- plorations through the “scenic” routes of D. C. I shall never forget our wonderful years at Mount Vernon. Love, Zeke 34 NANCY HUNTER 15 Sunset Drive Anniston, Alabama Nancy dear, Mt. Vernon and the world, for that matter, could do with a few more like you. We could all use a goodly share of your im- maculate habits (your hair, dress, closet, etc., never cease to amaze us) ; we could use some of your efficiency (Oh, to be able to hand in a paper a week ahead) ; we could use your good-natured way (how could anyone laugh after losing her two front teeth) ; and how much gayer we would be if we could let loose with one of your in- fectious giggles. You’re the only person whose pet peeve is people who have them, and we love you for it. Oh, Nancy, we can’t help laughing when we think of your funny little ways. The only thing that could arouse you from your daily sleep would be “food” or “Let’s go to the show.” The only thing that could keep you up all night would be a new portrait to be drawn or a fascinating government book to get through. All we can say it “Lot’s of Luck, Head- Hunter!” Love, Joan SOPHIA HUNTER 1744 Hunter Avenue Mobile, Alabama Dear Sophia, Never has an unkind word to say about anybody . . . goes out of her way to do things for people without their knowing a thing about it . . . Fun to be with . . . quiet spoken . . . warm smile . . . friendly . . . puts people at their ease . . . works hard . . . capable . . . dependable . . . Has a funny laugh . . . boys at the gate house . . . phone calls . . . uncomplaining . . . quiet enthusiasm . . . sincere . . . does a beautiful job of leading chapel . . . library after din- ner to study ... May Day weekend, with fun and pictures . . . Southern charm. 35 LINDA JONES R.F.D. No. 1 Winsted, Connecticut Dear Linda, You know what? I just remembered the four scarves, seems it was crooked . . . the two unwarranted demerits . . . the sojourns to Gusties, or to see Gus . . . the famous remark, “Look at the snow” ... the tennis matches . . . black clothing dripping over the tub . . . the diets . . . attraction of men . . . the sessions in late study hall . . . the study procrastinations . . . the trips to Rands . . . the many boys (which one this week ? ) Love, Judy Hecker DIANA JESSUP 360 Pondfield Road Bronxville, New York Dear Jessup, This year has really been fantastic! Will you ever forget the late evening parties when we’d sit up and watch SHOCK THEATER and beat each other over the head with celery stalks? The afternoons when I’d come crawling into your room begging for your French Dictionary? The number of bobby-pins I lost when you took it unon vourself to play the “Mummy”? Our mad dashes to psych classes on more than one cold morning? And our study orgies on third floor ’til the small hours of the morning? Vos pieds have made an in- delible impression on me and the Cole House floors also. Will the “Rec” Room ever be complete again without its keeper, Diana Jessup in accompaniment with her supply of cokes, cigarettes, and French books? The “Rec” Room will miss you as will the “Field”, which you seemed almost solely to support, and last, but not least, your friend and mine. Love, Bradley 36 TATE JORDAN 1606 Alaca Place Tuscaloosa, Alabama Dear Tate, Now that graduation is a reality and no longer a mere date in the future, it is hard to leave Mount Vernon without looking back and reminiscing. Do you remember during “Varieties” when you were left holding the devil by the tail? Also remember when Princeton failed to flail Yale, Alabama stomped Auburn, the weekend at Sewanee, a “Jim Dandy” of a time at Old Miss. How- ever, I don ' t think you will ever forget Spring vacation, for “Bermuda is Still Paradise”, or the trip from the South in the “Tranquilizer” with a banjo on its knee! As a roommate and a friend you have made the two years at Mount Vernon per- fect. Keep the “Roll Tide” spirit and keep singing “Stars Fell On Alabama”, for they sure do! Love to you, Dottie CHARL ANN KAHRHOFF 2103 West Koenig Grand Island, Nebraska Dear Charlie, What would this campus have been without that tall willowy blonde to cheer our days; and what would it be like without her con- tributions . . . her willingness to lend a helping hand . . . her efforts to establish a successful Honor System (Oh, those “cheat- in meetin ' s”) and her deep concern for the betterment of Mount Vernon. We could never figure out where your true allegiance was; the South . . . where did you get that Southern accent and those sunglasses! Ne- braska — those darling blonde brothers and “There ' s no place like Nebraska” . . . Colorado — from your many letters to and from Greeley, your daydreaming of “Springtime in the Rockies” . . . We can guess there ' s a special Sig Ep in Colorado. “Oh, ya’ll, it’s a sin for that guy to be so good looking” . . . Gooooooood grief” . . . “Nothing but sharp” . . . “I ' m always true to you darling in my fashion” . . . We will, as we know you will, never forget those shakin’ daisies in May Court, that slam- ming car door and the midnight cha-cha lessons. We’ll always remember our Charlie. 37 DONNA KNEESSI 5601 16th Street, N.W. Washington 11, D. C. Dear Donna, The year’s over now, but as I look back there are many things I can’t forget. You never could hold on to your car keys, and it didn’t seem to bother you. You’d just ask, “Where are the little guys ’ and then laugh. To divert your attention you’d go play bridge or get a “goody”. Every Mon- day morning you’d come in just before the bell rang and breathlessly say, “You didn’t have a Soc. roll call did you?” And during exams you could always be found studying by the light of the open ice-box. At the end of the year the professors just didn’t call your name for roll because they knew you weren’t there, and the gym teacher even gave you a medal for being the most over- cut. On weekends you could always be found at the TTKA house at W and L or “Maggie’s” all decked out in your Madras dress or bermudas. It will be hard to for- get all our good times and crazy fun. Love, Linda ZELDA KRAFT 4501 Connecticut Avenue, N.W. Apt. 117 Washington 8, D. C. Dear Zelda, Looking back to our days at Mount Vernon, so many wonderful memories come to mind. You, Zeke, were most often found practicing music, conferring with Dr. Lloyd, or organ- izing the small group of day students. We often admired the amount of time, energy, and interest which you put into your duties of Day Student President. When in doubt say, “Oh Really!” Your pet peeves were always disorganization and sloppiness — and then there was the problem of what to do with the day student lounge. June, 1960 brought to an end your five years at Mount Vernon, but not before that unforgettable day when you received the citizenship cup in recognition of your out- standing contributions and loyalty to the college. Memories of classroom, field house, cram- ming, bad times and good times alike, will all be long remembered and held dear. Love, Nancy 38 NANCY KRETSCHMAR 42 Oak Park Drive St. Louis 24, Missouri Dear Kretschet, You have about as much chance of forget- ting this last year as I do. The cold mornings you would stagger out of your bed and weave your way to break- fast. The afternoons when you would be- come happy as a clam saying, “Guess where I’ll be in 22 hours, 45 minutes, and 28 seconds !’’ And those nights before vaca- tions when one could see the wild gleam in your eyes as you struggled vainly to close the lid on your suitcase. The events of last summer ' s vacation at your house are also deeply imbedded in my memory — that su- personic ride back from “Pin Oaks . The engaging manner of your food foraging and your adeptness in fashioning effigies have also made an indelible impression upon me and my years at Mount Vernon, and thank you for them.

I will never forget those unusual rides down to church and all those right turns you should have taken (ac- cording to your back seat driver), and in- stead you took lefts; and that strong fas- cination of yours for Union Station. Remember how you hated Zoo. Remember May Day weekend finally arriving and that long nerve-racking ' walk in May Court. Have a good year at Katie Gibbs. Tell me, do you really plan to wait for Mr. Sport? JOY LYLE 4600 Hwy. 51, So. Memphis, Tennessee Dear Joy, How many times have I heard you say, “Well, I just don’t know what I’m going to do” . . . “Do you think he’ll call tonight?” . . . “He should at least send flowers” . . . “Which Tommy do you think I’ll hear from today?” . . . “Let’s have a party” . . . “I’m going to diet tomorrow.” Your room had everything but the kitchen sink in it — popcorn, peanuts, cheese, crack- ers, cookies and juice for those on diets. I don’t know what you would have done if you hadn’t had those scales next to your bed. I’ll never forget the day you broke your foot. That day snow covered the ground and the streets were mighty icy. Many of our girls had gotten hurt falling on the ice — but not Joy — oh, no, she had to fall up the steps in the dorm. Do you remember the mixer we had and dancing with the brace on your leg, or the time that we ended up double dating in a Jag — we sorta missed the Inkspots, didn’t we? The trips to U.V.A., Penn and the trip home when you had Mono. You really liked that French course didn’t you? I don’t believe many nights passed that you weren’t holding that French book. I know you can’t forget the fun we had at Blackie’s, la Fonda, Carriage House, O’Don- alds, and that little grocery store. I hope you will be able to make a visit to Camp Lejeune so we can talk over the en- joyable days we spent at MVJC.

How about those famous last words, “Tomorrow we go on a diet, but it’s your turn to go to the field house tonight?” But tomorrow never came and Mr. McGoo’s laugh echoed through the halls of Clark undaunted. Are you still embarrassed when people mention those eyes? I know you will never forget your senior prom.

True, we got tired of hearing, “How embarrassing for me,” “Bopping down to the field,” and “Turn it up, that’s my song,” but now it will be strange to live without them. How many laughs we got over Uncle Dougie, Sam the rabbit on Capi- tol Hill and your fervent efforts to put on 10 pounds. It was impossible to stay blue with you around except when you were blue and then it was impossible to be other- wise. We all love our Pagers, the Pager engrossed in a strategic game of bridge, with the cards in one hand and a Pepsi in the other, the nostalgic Pager thinking of Europe, and even the Pager glaring from under her pillow when being wakened from her beauty sleep. We shall always picture you with sun glasses, Marlboro, and yellow scarf “bombing” through that “beautiful sunshine state” in your new Caraville.

Of course you will remain forever New England and apple pie; forever organized; forever a Scotsman; for- ever passionate over classical music; and forever kind, generous, helpful and gay, but you’ll take with you from Mount Vernon a new poise and charm, new interests in other fellow “men”, the West, Form and Content, a new hair cut, a new face, and the New “Weam”. The bird cage will forever echo with “peachy keen”, “hi, how are you”, “anyone want some coffee”, and “oh, you clod!” I know your thoughts will aways return to that desk at the Library of Con- gress, the trip to Brown and the seat in the Music Room. After all you have done for us we can just imagine all you’ll do for your patients. Love, Charlie rl I 46 BETSY SAUNDERS Meadow View Farm Sabot, Virginia Dear Betsy, Jeepers! . . .

Those 125 typed letters would give anybody an inferiority complex and that “small” picture that sees all and says nothing. The telephone would ring and it was Geraldine, of course. There was the time when you would put all costs aside and take off for another long weekend to Atlanta. If anybody wanted to know where you were, week or weekend, all they had to do was call the library. Then you’d go scavenging around the house looking for two pieces of bread to make a P and J sandwich. Many were the times when we all sat around green with envy looking at you and your good looking clothes; and everything always matched perfectly. You always had the latest and best looking in shoes (fruit boots and all). Time after time you had to put up with people who just swore up and down that they shouldn’t have anvthing in the “pound.” All this is Jill — a mighty wonderful person to know. 47 Love, Caroline l .

I can never forget how much fun we had together in the first year cooking class. It was great to have you as a partner, Maureen! But please forget one thing that I did— wash dishes with the Wesson Oil!! You were a lovely princess in the Cherry Blossom Festival. Love, Dim (Virajit Buranasiri) t i ANNE TAYLOR 21 Fairmount Street Brookline, Massachusetts Dear Anne, I can hardly believe that a whole year has elapsed since that early spring morning when we drove home together and you were dubbed “PACK RAT” and I guess it stuck! This year has been fabulous with you pre- senting me with a new nail color three times a day — you have more nail polish mixtures than Revlon makes! Will you ever forget those 5:00 a.m. risings with Rosie’s loud voice, though she will deny it’s loud, boom- ing “Good Morning” . . . struggling up to breakfast to find no eggs were served or that there were no seconds! I can still hear “It’s no joke, I’m broke” and “I am not a proper Bostonian!” rising above the din of the piano, and remember the long discussions over the coffee cups of how Albert had become your favorite name and why white Pontiac Convertibles had become your favorite car and then the mad scramble to “life” to view Marlon Brando! I shall always remember these years, and wonder if I will see you as the future in- terior decorator for the White House Blue Room ! 49 Love, Rosie CAROLINE THOMPSON Route 2, Park Road Charlotte, North Carolina Caroline dear, You will always be remembered as so calm, cool and collected and so organized. The world needs a few more like you. These years at M.V.J.C. have been memorable ones. Will you ever forget your fifst impression of M.V.J.C. and especially the third floor l There was that constant noise and then, of course, our unforgettable Texas ' room- mates. To end the year with a bang there were our Princeton buds and May weekend. Then came our big senior year. Of course, you were never without your “shades” — even in the movies! There was that very memorable trip to Williamsburg, letters from the Citadel, and bus ride to Atlanta. That favorite pet peeve — blind dates, and especially Elbert! Who could ever forget those continuous statements, “I wanna go to the movies” and “I wanna go to the field house.” “Pll have a BLT and a hot fudge sundae.” I do believe when you make your first million the first thing you will buy will be a Navy blue Thunderbird with pale blue interior. Memories to cherish for- ever. Love, Jill Shuford LEE THORNDIKE 69 West Street Beverly Farms, Massachusetts Dearest Cardinal Four Thorns, I must say your Irish accented, “Have Faith” has been a great help this year. Even though in a sound-breakingly loud voice. Where did you ever get so inspired as to play Portia and join the order of the white Lily — “Optima,” Maybe with Dan or by “Great Father”, or J.B.? It couldn’t have been that intellectual Bostonian George, could it? And then sometimes I turn around to find you in something lavender, in a two-piece bathing suit munching on cook- ies in the sun . . . Saying such things as “I’m irresistably fascinated in Tennessee Williams.” No wonder you spend the rest of the time saying, “I must get organized!” Well, when you choose to return from Eu- rope we’ll meet again. Love and best wishes to gregariousness plus! Anne Taylor 50 BEVERLY TYLER 390 Atlantic Avenue Cohasset, Massachusetts Dear Bev, How could we forget your famous phrases “Time for French dialogue” or “Sparkee” . . . “I ' m (sniff) too tired to put my hair up tonight” . . . “Ho-Jo Brownies are my favorites.” Will you ever forget the poison ivy siege? The many pressures of work during the year left you undaunted . . . Always admired for a strong alto voice . . . enthusiastic recruiter for spectators at games . . . usually seen with hockey stick . . . avid Bob Cousey fan . . . even to the extent of writing fan mail to the Boston Celtics. You are to be congratulated for the new ideas for the Athletic committee and its constitution . . . Always had excellent sportsmanship in whatever you did, as well as being sincere and a conscientious work- er .. . and, above all, a wonderful room- mate.

Dear Moni, How often we heard: “A crisis — I have to play the piano for Form and Content”, “Let’s go to the field house”, “Really??” or “Of course I haven’t read my English, what did you think?” and the most famous of them all, “I’m getting so nervous about Georgetown with all those boys!” Along with your tendency to blush, and your talking in the library, we have noticed that some of your favorite activities include: baseball, playing piano, and doodling in margins of class notes. You have always been most enthusiastic about art and music. We know that you are looking forward to Mexico this summer and to Georgetown University next fall. Love, Gwen Rowan Winnie Perkin LINDA WEBB 4526 Hawthorne Street, N.W. Washington 16, D. C. Dear Linda, Everytime I hear somebody say, “Don’t sweat the small stuff” or “Somebody tell me what I should do,” I think of you and all the crazy things you’ve done. I’ll never forget that Cha Cha you did at the Naval Academy and ended up on crutches ' for a few weeks. It seems that you were always either shopping, partying, or beating me at Gin Rummy. I remember that your pet peeve was an empty ice-box, and I don’t think a day ever went by when I didn’t hear you say, “No kidding, y’all, I’m going on a diet tomorrow!” It seems that we were always laughing whether anything was funny or not, and I will never forget the day that we found out we had unlimited cuts. In the years to come, if anyone is ever look- ing for you, they’ll have to look no further than the beach at Spanish Key where you’ll be trying to get a tan, rain or shine.

From the classroom to “Newton ' s,” to Zeke, to “Alex Stuart’s,” you were always the same cheerful Joan. Your systematic notebooks, your grumbling over the cracker crumbs in bed, and the blast of “Pomp and Circum- stance” on the record player drove us to distraction, but the candy from Marshall Fields, your pictures of “Outward Bound,” your improving tennis ability, your letters from Misty, and those Johnny Mathis, Rec- ords made us love you again. You will keep, we know, fond memories of the Illinois State Society Ball, Steve’s commissioning, “What’ll I Do”, and all the joys of life here at Mt. Vernon with you always, but our memories of you will be even fonder.

Thank heavens Mr. Leibrick liked persimmons too. Otherwise our room would have been filled to the brim with them, along with the plants. All the many nights I woke you up sneaking into the room, knocking over the trash can, etc. Every other night Tilda and you w r ould write those crazy French dialogues. Oh brother. Come down off cloud “9” and tell me about Philadelphia. Good ole Monday mornings, yes, and when the snow had to be plowed. If I had half the energy you exerted, what an athlete! . . . riding, tennis, basketball, even hockey . . . then you could still take off in the little Ford for “Tokyo Sukiyaki’s” or “Michele’s.” Buck and Big Syd will sure- ly miss you riding on the farm with them. I can even remember all your honors. Let’s see, Senior Class representative to Honor Council, May Day Court, Sec.-Treas. of Clark House, Captain of the Basketball team. Most Honorable Lady, you were always doing something to make me proud to be your roommate. Let’s not lose our contacts, so we can continue to see each other. Love, Sophia P.S. (As you would say) “See ya’round the campus.” 54 IMOGENE YOUNG 6901 Oak Lane, Hillbrook Annandale, Virginia Dear Jimmie, Do you remember when your favorite ex- pression was, “I can ' t wait to get out of school !” — and you followed it up with, “Be quiet! I’ve got to study !” And your special habit — looking for pink dogwood trees that were small enough to dig up. And never let it be said we didn’t find one. Your favor- ite activities were dancing (such grace), getting ‘AV in sewing and swimming. Your color was turquoise; and all that lobster and Mexican food! Ummm, good!! Your favorite subjects were Soc., English Lit. and Government. And, of course, your favorite places — naturally, the Air Force Academy, Colorado Springs, and Naples. And that special peeve — those unannounced and late meetings! And when I think of you — “How fair thy hair — like hyacinths blooming.” Do you remember?

The services are conducted by clergymen of various faiths who come from churches in and around the Washington area. In addition to regular church at- tendance, these brief periods of worship which are shared each week contribute great strength and unity to all those present. A strong college is composed of strong, capable, and conscientious individuals whose think- ing and conduct reflect integrity and honor. As a group we work to ex- plore and determine the values upon which we are building our lives. Chapel piovides, through signs, marks and tokens of wisdom, the guid- ance for our daily lives, both social and academic. We try to indicate the matui ity of judgment and of attitude which makes for a harmonious and useful group of adults. 75 COOPERATIVE COUNCIL Harriet Kelly, Susan Soderberg, Chari Ann Kahrhoff, Rena Clark, Zelda Kraft, Vicky Lent, Bobbie Dus- babek, Genie Radcliff, Anne Lanier, Mrs. McLaughlin, Tate Jordan SOCIAL CODE “Understanding and accepting the ideals and traditions of Mount Vernon Junior College, -which are based upon the principles of work, honor, and cooperation, I realize that my con- duct and the conduct of my associates represents, to others, my character and the institution of which I am a part.
