' •■4 (Echoes live in memory t et. I am Alice, here to help you rememher the lovely, bewildering, incredible adventures of this Mount er- non Wonderland. Here are the reminders of every mad joy, every delightful encounter, every solemn or ridiculous occa- sion. Here are recorded the doings of Dormice, the hilarity of Hatters, and the conversation of Queens. Here, too, I can look back upon the terrifying shrink- ings and the proud moments when 1 suddenly grew tall enough to see into new worlds. The exciting and unforgettable journey is here. 5 ) THE FACULTY George W. Lloyd President Olw i Lloyd (Mrs. George W.)..

Catherine: Chenoweth Com d exion Jane Magee Voice Joan Fknn Betty Maguire Hands Cars ' el Breeding Figure Virginia deGanahl Legs Alice Woodward jj “Alice Through the Looking-glass” As the white rabbit darted into Somers House, he spied a looking-glass and through it he saw not himself but Alice, She beckoned to him, “Come Rabbit, or you shall be late to the teaparty.” So he put his gloves on, straightened his waistcoat and quickly stepped through the glass to find himself in a lovely field where he saw a large carefully painted sign reading “FIELD OF THE FUTURE IN 1980” Farther down he saw Alice setting a tea table, “But who are the guests?” asked the rabbit, “Hush, here they come now 1 Alice warned. And sure enough down the path, past the sign and across the field came Betty and Jo, Betty talking fast and furiously of her new invention, “Ghornaley’s Eyelash Grower”, and Jo, one of the leading torch singers of 1980, listened in awe. Following them were Audrey and Marlene who were discussing plans for rais- ing $1 1,000,000 for the building of an old maids ' home. So engrossed were they that they neglected to greet Jinni deGanahl and Suzi Johnson who skipped in shouting loud greetings to all, Jinni stayed only a moment for she had to rush home and make up her mind whether to attend the Sully s reunion or the one at Dartmouth, Suzi continued to chat enthusiastically with the skeptical rabbit about her excellent chaperon age at the Naval Academy Tea Fights At the head of the table with a mouthful of cake sat Rosie, Off my diet”, she mumbled. Everyone was surprised and pleased that under her coaching, the “Pink Sox” had won the series that year. In a corner the ladies had gathered around Marty who was telling them of the Neu miller Success Course”, She had gained several pounds and was a chubby ninety-five, Shirley and Edie, the top co-directors on Broadway, directed such hits as “Paul’s Passions”, and The Madness of May”, With them languished peasant skirted and babushkad Betty Deane, the actress, and Nancy McNaught, the artist, straight from their bohemian cranny in The Village, Oblivious of all sat Patty, clothed in white muslin and a large picture hat, autographing her new book, a sequel to Gone With The Wind”, straight from her native Savannah, Georgia, P, Coker then strode m, dad in tweed, and had much to disclose about the ancient civilization which she just discovered in Egypt on her latest archeological venture. The rabbit handed Alice a telegram from Joanna Healey who was at Columbia University where she was taking her masters in “Matters of the Heart”. She regretted her inability to attend. At this moment, Alice spied Angela Zuver alighting from her new foreign make car. The auto had been imported recently after her last trip to the continent. She had many tales to tell of gay Paree, Strolling about was Nina comparing maternity notes with Nancy Lee, who was celebrating her eleventh anniversary, Nancy arrived in a Willis Jeep over the North Carolina Mountains. Joy Ellicott was earnestly conversing with the rabbit and Joyce Fernandez at the tea table upon the raising of hares. Lib Wilson just rushed in, saying she had recently won the title of “The Legs” from Betty Grable, who is retiring. No one had seen Sally Blauner come in, until the rabbit spied her sitting under the beech tree reading the latest issue of The Chronical”, of which she had recently become editor. She had brought her large showcase of ribbons for exhibition. Catherine and Pinny who alternately had been visiting each other, were hotly discussing the merits of the Princeton and Virginia football teams, as their respec- tive sons were the new coaches. As Alice sedately poured the tea remembering Mrs. Sherwood’s gentle teach- ings she felt a hand upon her shoulder and turned around to hear Tilly . as who hasn’t!? Near by, radiant Sally Cord was bubbling wirh exuberance over copping the year’s finest award for the best True Confession Suddenly she heard in the dis- tance, throbbing hoofbeats Who else but janie Kettering on her champion hedge- hopper, “Hinsdale Hi’? Despite her age, she continued her daily hourly rides Ann Wheeler was the center of a fascinated group who watched with awe, her demonstrations of new Yogi exercises recently perfected on her latest romp through Tibet, In the midst of the green, Alice and Rabbit watched Noel, who, unable to con- tain herself any longer broke into a pirouette and frolicked about exhibiting the new technique which had brought her renown in the Saddlers Wells Ballet During this interlude Janice sat in a chair beneath the beech tree fashioning a garment for that famous old Conover Model, Alice Woodward, Janice gave a few discreet hints to the ladies on next year’s fashions. She was highly noted for her creations throughout the fashion world Everyone was intrigued with Harriet Kennedy’s tales of her fabulous experience as a waitress in Bop City. Particularly intrigued was that famous Bebop per, Sidney Junkin. She had just returned from a walk in the lane with Frankie Hearing a scream of agony, the rabbit rushed to the beech tree to find Nickie Ycsair, who had broken her leg in a fall. He quickly strapped up her ailing-limb and she walked away as good as new Alice tried to greet everyone and hurried here and there, seeing that all were fed and happy With a cry of delight, she greeted Carvel, who, with a trace of her former dignity, swept in. She was still a top flight model after thirty years, although she was reduced to modeling stylish stouts. I lei ping Alice with the refreshments and ordering the harassed rabbit about was “Macaroni MacCubbin”, as the girls fondly called their new Mr. Vernon Die- tician, named for her famous Tuesday lunches She has carried on admirably in Mrs Baylis’s footsteps. Sniffing the clover as they came were janie Magee, and Pat Smith janie was gathering new information about the birds, bees and flowers, for a new botanical book, which was on its way Pat had so far been content with the passive existence which her meek husband had craved They were content to be anti -social in their beach bungalow composing optimistic verse. We noticed Diana rushing madly about to and fro muttering something about getting a square deal. It seems that her latest husband had turned out to be a crooked card -shark Joanne, who was conversing earnestly with Genie, had brought along one of her phenominal alarm clock discoveries. !t was phenominal in that it never went off. It was what Joanne had been working on secretly for years. Genie trying to get a word in edgewise, was attempting to explain the ins and outs of her stimulating position as copy reader on “The Atlantic Monthly 1 ’ Li: Payne seemed quite annoyed that Alice had not offered her restaurant’s famous new ice cream, “Hot Crush”, for a refreshment, Suzie Donnelly and Chita were most sympathetic and were conversing in a very businesslike manner, for they had helped to originate the famous formula Rush and Peggy hadn’t seen Alice in years, so they excitedly told her of their successes, lane was well known among the tourists who patronized her exclusive “Rush’s Boardwalk Lingerie Shop” in Atlantic City. Peggy proudly displayed her large family album — need we say more? Evening shadows crept across the field and night breezes told that it was time for all to depart A feeling of nostalgia encompassed the class of ’50 as they sadly bade their farewells, for this had been a thrilling experience The rabbit looked at his watch, and in fear of being late, he hopped back through the lookinggtass with Alice close at his heels. 37 ]: . ■ % ■ -� SENIORS “ T7 Jo c if row up a if cun I I Senior Statistics Name Famous for: Pet habit: Always saying: Audrey Tactlessness The moving finger “Ta-tal Quick Penel, the Murine!” Nina Eating when dieting Writing George “Ain ' t he sweet!” Sally Dieting Watching the Car- dinals and Stan “May 1 have the car today?” Jane Slowness Smoking in the Field House “Ha-ha!” Catherine Not letting on Knitting “My dear Gus” Pen el Getting grins Promoting confusion “My box!

' With Sobs and Tears . . After graduation, as Alice waved good-bye to the last senior, she wiped a tear from her eye and noticed that she had an hour before her plane left. Not being of a sentimental nature, Alice blinked, squared her shoulders, and set off to take a walk to pass the time away. When she reached the tennis courts, whom should she see hut the Gryphon! “Alice”, cried he, “Come with me to see our old friend, the Mock Turtle.” Alice followed joyfully, but when she saw the turtle and told him of her graduation, she was distressed to note that tears were in his eyes. “Please don ' t cry so, Mock Turtle, did [ upset you?” “Alice,” sighed he, “You don’t” — sniff — “upset me. It’s just your talking about school. I’m glad the Gryphon brought you to me, but — oh — the memories you bring.” The Mock Turtle looked at them with tears as a sob escaped him. “Sit down, both of you, and Til tell you my story.” “When we were little, we went to school on Nebraska Avenue. The master was an old turtle — We used to call him Tortoise — ” “Why did you call him Tortoise if he wasn ' t one?” Alice asked, “We called him Tortoise because he taught us,” said the Mock Turtle angrily. “What did you take in school?” inquired Alice. “Reeling and writhing, of course, to begin with”, the Mock Turtle replied; “and then the different branches of arithmetic — ambition, distraction, uglification, and dirision. There was mystery also, — mystery, ancient and modern, with seqgraphy! Also there was laughing— and lots of other subjects. It was an excellent school.” “Oh! Mine was too,” countered Alice. “We did everything and had so much fun!” “Tell us about it,” encouraged the Gryphon. “Well, there were all sorts of sports — hockey, tennis, basketball, softball, volley- ball, and riding. We played other schools and had athletic and team parties. “There were wonderful trips to art galleries, monuments, museums, concerts, embassy teas, the freedom train, and the Presidential Inauguration.” “Why did you do it? With what porpoise?” asked the Mock Turtle gravely. “Don’t you mean purpose?” said Alice. “I mean what I say,” the Mock Turtle replied in an offended tone, “Well, there was no porpoise, hut the purpose was, of course, to broaden us,” continued Alice nervously, “And also we had exhibits, lectures, and ministers to the school.” “Oh, it does sound like fun — but no more of this. The thoughts of school are too painful. You see,” explained the Mock Turtle sadly, “the Navy took ours over the year I graduated.” A sympathetic tear slid down Alice ' s cheek. “My, that was very sad indeed — in fact it reminds me of my school, Mount Vernon Seminary. You see, during the war — — ” “—Did you say Mount Vernon Seminary? Rut that was where I went, exclaimed the Mock Turtle joyfully. “How singularly odd! — Oh, this is quite won- derful. Please do continue telling about Mount Vernon today.” “Weren’t there any dances and parties?” queried the Gryphon hopefully. ■ [ 44 Oh, yes! ' 1 beamed Alice, “Lots of them! Why there were Halloween parties, class picnics, several formal dances and one or two informal every year. Most of them were held in the refectory, but a few were on the tennis courts, and an open- house always followed the big dances. “Other events 111 always remember are the impressive Founder ' s Day parties, the glee club concerts, piano and dance recitals, Optima parties for unfortunate chil- dren — and of course, the unforgettable trips to Sky top every year 3 “Are the Bookfairs still being given?” inquired the Mock Turtle, “and the Boars Head dinners? And are there still art exhibits and the North field Conferences?” “Yes, and much morel” cried Alice, “I do so miss Mount Vernon.” Alice ' s eyes grew dreamy. “1 was there for four years,” she reminisced softly. “I remember how frightened 1 was my first year, 1946, when I walked into Somers, though Mrs. Lindsay and Miss Carter soon dispelled my fear by informing me that they were our “mothers away from home”. Then there was the old girl -new girl party . , , classes in Cole House , , . no roof or windows in the academic building yet — no doors any- where! . . . and the mud holes , . . no refectory — meals served in Somers House, No bookstore, gallery, or library the first few weeks , . . no Field House For the first term! Our figures remained slim! Saturday classes— how we hared them! Remember “Shakespeare ' s Women” and “This Daring Generation” given by the Dramatic Club? Still wondering about the old school — determined for the new. Summer skies. “Then in the fall of 1947, vacation memories . . , A-h-hd Old girls now with little sisters . , , piano music during study hall , . . letters from home . . . , the evaluators and Mrs. Applebee from England, We were on our best behavior! , , . the Yellow- White team games . . . racing for chapel on cold winter mornings . . , Christmas loves — snow and cramming for exams . , the eternal wait for the dilapidated school busses . . . the beautiful Home Ec room . . . “The Gift of the Magi” and “Little Women” . , . Miss Gutheim and her up scale “Yes-s-s” . . . the “sacred” front door and panting up the hill to lunch. At last spring comes — no more mud, but grass and flowers everywhere . . . that familiar faraway look . . . soon trains, boats, cars, and planes take us home! “Then we return again . , . comparing tans . . . new faces, new friends , . . blue Mondays are yellow , , . “sun-streaked” hair appears overnight, and the newdook descends . , , Gilly lost and Somers in mourning — Gilly found and Somers radiant. The new inevitable coughdrops in study hall . . homework by the tons and Macbeth . . . building continues with the new college dorm . , . “Sinister House”, “At the Feet of the Madonna”, and “All Through the House” were our plays , . , study hall proctors, Miss Spink and Flo . . . our rings- — pride and expectation . . . the banquet for the class of ’49 . , . taking the seniors places in the front of chape! , . . one thought — next year. “Seniors at last . . . the dash for the phone — “Not that I’m expecting a call, but Midnight parties and resulting Saturdays on campus , . , research papers and Hamlet . , . ad-hunting . . . Annapolis tea-fights, Christmas presents and a brand new year, 1950, the Diamond Jubilee Year, 75rh anniversary . . . aren ' t we proud of our year? , . . “The Littlest Angel” and “Jeanne d ' Arc” . . .

Baccalaureate, graduation, red roses, and tears . . . “Good-bye all, write soon.” “No I ' ll never forget Mount Vernon.” “Nor will l,” added the Mock Turtle damply. . 4 Frrsr tou- Ann A Hit r bach, Dorothy Baer, Mary Alice Lee, Trinka Davis, Miui Streir, Mona Boheman, Janet Myers, Alice Lee Carter, Phyllis Herndon.
