Pamela M ary Dawson Dorothy Morns Doyle If someone were to tell you that she lived at 3434 34th Street, and that her phone number was . . . you guessed it! — 3434, you would probably blink and tell yourself you would outgrow it. Pop your eyes back in . . . the girl below is Miss “34”. Indeed, such a claim to fame must be matched by a personality, and it is. With her advent to M.V.S. last year, she amazed her col- leagues with prize-winning modern paintings and free verse. Ingenuity runs in her family, and Pam is certainly a salient example. Her clever covers on the Carousel portray her skill. How- ever, there is another side other than the aes- thetic. It takes another kind of talent to keep up with the restless ramblings of the class meet- ings. “Where are the minutes?” White team; art club, III; glee club, III; hockey varsity, III; class treasurer, III; class secretary, IV; chapel, IV; Cupola, IV. “Save your Confederate dollars boys; the South’s goin’ to rise again.” Dottie, a true rebel, is one of the individuals who keeps the expletive ”d . . . Yankee,” in fashion. This lively spark came to M.V.S. in her sopho- more year. She brought with her that famous “Dixielan” jazz and “Moon Over Miami.” As senior hall proctor she is beginning to wonder if she is losing her eyesight, what with the com- pletely overlooked (?) stuffed beds; but beds aren’t the only things missed, for where is Dottie for breakfast this morning? Looking for shoes again? This fickle blonde has been seen at various and sundry institutions of higher education, too numerous to discuss. Echoing down the halls: “I’m just crazy over him.” White team; prep players, II, III; riding club, II, III; Cupola, IV; social league representative, IV; house council, IV. 19 )

Louise Clarke “If I ever get out of this place. 1 11 pass out. This statement was heard one noon, verbatim, bv one who makes up for what she lacks in inches with a flowing river of hair. Let us ex- amine this phrase, for it has much underlying meaning. It is contradictory, in that the speaker docs get out, and frequently. Her mode of lo- comotion is an enviable one. When go time rolls around, off charges Louise, with Florida tan and yellow convertible. Where doth she hie? A mystery to those who are left behind. When you see a not tall polite for short) girl, with a pair of talking eyes, and you feel as if you would like to go up and chat with her, just go ahead, and you won’t be sorry. That ' s Louise. White team; Cellophane , III; prep playe rs, IV. Katherine Stillman Dam Well stay here all night if you keep on making that racket! A familiar phrase? Any boarder can identify the ejaculation of the individual from Akron, who is saddled with the regulation of boarding misdemeanors, as she presides over the restless house meetings, so vital a part of every boarder’s curriculum. Trinka is as able on a tennis court as she is on the dance floor, as Annapolis verifies. Shuttling between the Severn and Foxhall can be termed only one of her un- predictable activities. House president has draw- backs, but what are the echoes of But pork, but chop, but string, but bean! which waft down the hall as a result of midnight conversations? As of now, the wire fences expect to welcome Trinka in theJ.C., and the inmates will continue to be moes. Yellow team; typing, II; prep players, III; tennis varsity, IV; house president, IV. { 18

hlancy Ann Dunn J [e!!a Elizabeth Gray This Yankee joins the rest of the Northerners in joking laughter as the fascinated rebels make their debuts on sleds, but there’s common inter- est in the Field House “activity. ” The new senior with the lovely long hair and the always “up to something” expression believes in fidelity . . . to an ejaculation, her argyles, and her man. Heavens, Jack says . . There is much more than we have said, but on this ground we dare not tread, for if too deep we should partake, an unmeant error we might make and bv our clumsv earthly prate, the finest part we might misstate. Yellow team; basketball varsity, IV; sports club, IV. One of those rare individuals who was born in Texas (bow low) and has no comment to make upon said territory, Nella became notorious for concocting brownies at dawn and bribing the guard to send them to the institution on the Severn. Nella is an established port. In Vir- ginia it’s U.Va., but in Washington there was seen (caught on a bumper) a certain Confederate flag. It now rests on the wall of Room 29. From such activities there must be some curi- osity as to her physical properties. She is a sup- porter of combustion . . . Oops pardon! She is an element who is easily recognized for her blue eyes, uncertain shades of hair, and Vogue-like look. Are you in need of a rhyme? Try Nella’s “Sonnets for any occasion.” Yellow team; prep players, III, IV; chapel III, IV; library council, IV; secretary of student body, IV. { 20
