FUHEWURD During these past months, you, as a member of the Mount Vernon student body, have been helping to weave together the fabric of this book. You have played the most important role of these past years, however, there are other traditional or symbolic, necessary or useful influences in the average school life which contribute to the molding of school memories. The Cupola Staff has chosen two of these effects, the yellow team duck and the white team lamb, to express our theme. These mascots are used as a representation of the general unity which is brought about in M.V.S. by the spirit and competition of their teams. The comparison between the functions of our school government and those of the national government has been chosen as the basic theme of this 1952 CUPOLA. Be- ginning with the Academic Building as our capitol and Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd as our President and First Lady, the various departments have been placed under headings which best suit them according to the national government. Our imaginations have let us wander somewhat. If you enjoy the following pages, however, and feel as though we have captured some phase of your years at Mount Vernon which is worth recalling, we shall feel that we have ac- complished our aim and purpose. , ,ww , W , if 'SLM MH. ANU MHS. LLIJYD DEDIE TIU Democracy has established a sound meaning with the American people and has become more than a just and powerful form of govern- ment. lt has become a symbol of the American way of life, a symbol of great heights reached in service and achievement. lt has made us proud to say we are citizens of such a great nation as the United States. In school government and school affairs, we exercise the ways of democracy, although, unfortunately, it is generally taken for granted. The right and opportunity to present suggestions through class dis- cussions, through open meetings, and through representation in closed meetings is a form of democracy. Equal opportunity to be on school varsities and in school activities is another form. The right of handling our own school government and the right of making school laws re- sides in all the students, and this is the most outstanding form of all. The future of this school as with the future of this nation is depend- ent upon a firm democratic foundation. We are the people who must build upon this foundation and make the democratic spirit grow and prosper. Now, with the Korean difficulties, we realize how great the need is for a strong faith in democracy and a will to fight for it and all for which it stands. To you, the student of Mount Vernon Seminary, and your loyal maintenance of democracy in both the school and the nation, we dedi- cate this book in the hope that today's confused world will eventually be united under a true democracy that builds itself on liberty.

Pictured ure some active The Student Council is the representa- ,0,,mg,,,,,,,,g,m, tive body of Mount Vernon Seminary. Its membership is composed of two faculty members, the president of each class, the president of Optima, and one representa- tive from the student body. The Student Council tries to eliminate as much punish- ment as possible and to build instead a sense of self-discipline in each student. One ofthe principal aims ofthe council is to unify the various Clubs and organiza- tions of the school. They discuss all of the problems which have arisen, and any- one is free to offer suggestions. The meet- ings are open to all, and the students are urged to attend. 13114 HUUSE T100 czelpeitr new face the mmic after liffening to it illegezlbf the flight before.

This Council is presided over by a Chair- man elected by the resident students each year. Every hall is represented on the Council by its student proctor. Meetings are held to discuss different dormitory problems and are always open for any student plans and sugges- tions for better dormitory life.

I didn't have any money to pay the policeman, so I had to hock my class ring. Yes, Eveling, our eminent class president, is also known for her ability behind the wheel of her maroon convertible. Hockey is another of her achievements, 'tho she modestly says it's really nothing. We can go no further without mentioning her feats in the art room. Most often seen cheering either for Yale or Georgetown, this female with honey-red hair is the possessor of a sharp tongue, an hysterical sense of humor, a heart of gold, and grey knee socks. Evans has also enlivened many conver- sations with vivid accounts of summer parties at Nantucket, her Isle of Paradise. Evie is, to her friends, one insane girl, but that's the closest thing to genius, so don't be puzzled when she takes you home and shows you her animal kingdom, one by one! As you may have guessed, we all think Evie is tops.

Grayson Heed Cecil She rlaall leave behind her footprintr in the .randi of time Hey, I've done my homework for the next two weeks! How welcome those words are to the struggling population of M.V.S. who are trying vainly to keep up with the steps of their leader. At birth li'l Gray was God's gift to an unorganized world. She was blessed with brains, efficiency, and that outstanding ability to put across the right ideas and ideals. It's quite obvious that she never neglects eating her Wheaties, for who else but this Texas Dagmar and Hopalong Cassidy can do everything and still live tO tell it? This bundle of cheerfulness has steered our Ship of State through many a stormy sea as Student Body President. We have often been persuaded to abandon our evil ways by her persistent but never-offending note of warning. Here stands Gray-a worthy and fitting tribute to the infinite power of heartfelt reform. P.S.

H 91116 llarnl Berry Be than the rainbow to the .rtormf of life Carol, our Fingernail Queen of '52, claims Oklahoma City as her home, but vacation rendezvous are held at Oklahoma University. Lit is famous for her diets, and the distinguished honor of President of the Saccarin Club is one of her many accomplishments at M.V.S. Calong with being Mlle. Berry, master at the art of back massagej. When asked about friends at home, her inevit- able answer is, Oh, they're the biggest kings that ever walked. A representative of the Winkie Blinkie Eye Lash Company, Lit states: Our products are guar- anteed to wink and blink-satisfaction or your money back. Those eyelashes have had quite an effect on the opposite sex since Lit's arrival two years ago, and, no doubt, they will con- tinue to blink at the University of Oklahoma this fall.

My goodness, this place is so strange! Yes, another California sunbeam has been added. Kathie resided in Somers only a short time, but long enough to let us all know that she would never be a hindrance to any of her suite's no- torious parties. Some moods, those in which her ray of happiness shone through, were spent by listening to records, or joining the two -Ianets on their safari into the interior Ckilling fliesD. lf you see this 'Akeed dozing off and wonder why she doesn't close her eyes, don't be alarmed. She's simply looking for the thief who took her retainers! Somers hasn't been the same since she became a day student Qafter an emergency appendectomy that kept Miss Sunbeam in bed only three days D. Yellow teamg glee club, IV. Barbara Wahstar Burfnrll Be your bert, and let tbe good timer roll Grads, I'm really on a diet today! are the all too familiar words of Burpie. When one sees this Miss, one is convinced early in the ac- quaintance that she is from the South. Upon further knowledge, we aren't too surprised to hear that she hails from Louisville, which is famous for all its horses. Aside from the fact that she practices every- thing, including yogi at the lively hour of six each morning, Burp is famous for her one-sided- ness and her terrific yen for gooey bubble gum, she is also the school's champ in giggling. She has even taken up the gentle art of blowing smoke rings for her less fortunate associates. This character can create some of her own tense times by her uncanny ability to become engaged. She's lovely. She's engaged. Goodness, what eloer she use???????!

Have you anything for the poor and needy? This little bundle of fun won't ever let you for- get that she's from Pittsburgh, the great city of smoke control, and we've all grown used to that merry melody, Hail to Pitt, hail to Pitt, which echoes from Blum's room most any ol' time. She's a loyal supporter of the eyebrow club, but through some accident she lost hers! Did a flashlight break after lights, or were those study halls just too long and boring? As is the ambition of most of the senior class, this rebel is particularly fervid in wanting to go to college anywhere from which planes leave for Chicago.

So starts and ends another day in the life of Miss Joan C. who can usually be found talking to, about, or with Georgetown. The thousands of blind dates she manages to get for our dances, her cheerful thoughtfulness, plus being one of our most enthusiastic class members, are just examples of why we couldn't manage without her. She's one from whom we could all take lessons on how to regret not the past, live in the present, and fear not the future. Another of those famed dieters so often found at Washington's Institution for Fat Children, her favorite expression is, tomorrow, I'1l diet! If all these tomorrows came, only the skinniest females would grace Foxhall's Female Abode. Altar plans are being made now for this summer. We all know she will make the institution of matrimony a gayer one by her membership!

The reason? The first voice one hears at 7:30 A.M. is none other than that of Miss Sunshine who has been up since the celestial body dawned. Should you hear a flow of German, Latin and or French, see bright blonde hair, or hear certain rahs for Yale, you have discovered this early bird. Also credited to her M.V.'s. record is her literary ability in the field of ballads. Most noted for her motto party makes the world go 'round, Miss Bush has enlivened many study hours with her antics, which have continued into the night. To this senior with the lovely earrings Cfor pierced ears, no less!!D we sayf You're all right, even if we are sleepy because of your ejaculations on nature at such an unearthly hour. White team, CUPOLA, IV. llurnra Curtina Friendbf, with a :mile-a charming word that gave a grace But Miss DeZouche, I wasn't here at the be- ginning of the year! Whom do we find be- hind this woeful statement as great armloads of books fall to the floor? None other than our senior new-comer, Aurora, or Yoya. Al- though she came after the beginning of the year, she quickly showed us what a great deal of liveliness and enthusiasm can do for you when you're in a new country and a new school. Yoya hails from Mexico, and you should see what's down there waiting for her! Strange as it seems, this talkative and vivacious addition to M.V.S. seldom mentions him. Maybe she's playing it safe, eh? Her own personal interests include swimming and dancing, and we hear she's quite pro at both . . . Could be that the competition runs high in a family of seven children! Yoya has been a bright example to all of us this year of our neighbors south of the border. Yellow teamg prep players, IV. Betty Jean Elements She walkr in beauty like the night 'Tm frum Bur-min-haam, where are you frum? She came all the way with just her Bill Mon- key, a gift from a very special someone, to keep her company through what turned out to be the gayest, most fun-making senior year ever! B. is the one that takes baths after lights, and is known for calling down her roommate for disturbing her with wee small knocks. She once lost several years' growth when the wee small knocks turned out to be from Aunt Dottie! Bill is obviously The Object of Her Affectionsf' and he seems to go in for stuffed animals for gifts. This fresh-air fiend almost blew her room- mate out this winter, but at last spring sprung! Seen dashing from her room when the strains of Too Young reach l1er ear, or heard moaning over French exams, B. has really proved to be a gay asset to boarding life this year! Yellow team, prep players, IV. sl zo Mary Germaine Egan Lzfekr 4 pleasant in.rtitutian,' let ur take it as it comer Our staunch Marine advocate, the vivacious Miss Omaha, is most noted for her well-put remarks during study hall and her excellent taste in dress. We cannot help but mention her ever- lasting over-nights and the whispered intrigues which go on into Sunday night, giving details of the various top military men Miss Egan is fortunate enough to know. Let-us-all-do-our- bit-for-the-men-in-the-service ! ! How we envy her ability to whip together chic blouses and skirts! Oh, I just finished this sheath dress for Annapolis this weekend! If ever there was a loyal supporter of the re- nowned Betas, here is one whose name should go on as long as that society exists. Next to Betas comes the University of Nebraska. She agrees wholeheartedly with Mrs. Fullaway that her native Nebraska is the bestest with the most- est. White team, CUPOLA, IV. 21114 Sallie Illiphant lla Vnu And wit its bong lent, without its :ting Here's our Sallie, the girl with the Lana Turner hair style who hails from Pittsburgh but adds, I go to Rollingrock just as much. Sallie is most frequently seen at the Field House where she is the first to arrive and the last to leave during the blissful twenty-minute period extended to the smoky senior class of '52. Also, Sunday afternoons find this pro tennis player keeping the courts warm. She's been one of the White Team's big assets this year! On permissions, our lovely lady visits the Shore- ham with her cohorts, and 'tis rumored that the mortgage of said hotel may be transferred to the deVou family, At a big social gathering, look for a smoke ring and in its middle you're sure to find Sal Qunless she is roaming the campus with raised eyebrows and Bermuda shorts, wondering in which di- rection the Pittsburgh Pirates are ll.

From these historical lines our yearbook came into being! Norma around school is little Miss Efliciency in everything she sets out to accomplish, but when weekends roll around, she's just fun-loving Miss Gee-Whiz whose time is taken up by Mary- land. Of course, she says emphatically, I'm not a one-man woman! Most often seen talking excessively about noth- ing and everything, Norma takes life as it comes. We all see her each morning ready and waiting to hold the chapel door open, with a ponderous expression that seems to ask, Why don't they get a door stop for this place? Where the Nuke is, Norma is, and more than once has she furnished M.V.S. with jumpin' entertainment! Her most famous renditions are I've Got Plenty, How 'Bout You? and There's Been a Change in Me.

This gypsy with a golden earring is most famous for: 1. Large blue-green eyes 2. A darling figure 3. Short hair cuts that keep getting shorter 4. An intense desire for any manner of foot- wear while dining at the Hot Shoppes. Who else almost succeeded in proclaiming a class holiday when her braces were taken off? Another thing-Mask this little musical demon the newest rendition of any current hit song, and she will gladly oblige with either one of her home-made records or a junior masterpiece by Miss Jazz herself!

Right, jane?? Unley with the beautiful and bountiful bru- nette hair, is well known for giving parties for anyone who hails from Annapolis .... Just ask her sometimes if she doesn't like cocoanut cake! We all have had the pleasure of marching into chapel to Unley's unusual renditions of sundry hymns, however, variety is the spice of life.

This year the or- ganization tried to sponsor singing at breakfast, but a few party poopers soon stopped this. There isn't one who hasn't once been the object of Miss G's teasing. Qesting, as it is known in the lighter circles D One can almost characterize her by her voice, quiet and patient, although anyone who has faced her on the hockey field will be able to tell you what a harrowing experience it is. Miss A. A. seems to handle any sport she under- takes with an agility and ability that is rarely surpassed. It kills us to say this, but perhaps it can be chalked up to the fact that she's a ....

Nancy Lea Hand Ar many ar the day ir long Wherever you Hnd gay times, you'll find Nancy. Strong advocate for good ol' fun, she reduces the day student locker room to a mild roar, and in all study halls manages to misunderstand the word quiet Wild squeals of delight, plus an infectious giggle, prove to be a fatal combina- tion which she launches without warning. Friends find her always willing to donate her common-sense philosophies to more scatter- brained associates. Hand logic proves nerve- shattering to Miller and De Zouche theories. just like Napoleon, Nancy slings a mighty parcel of power for her petiteness. Her energy is sorely taxed by her love for all that creeps and crawls in the canine world. High heels are her weak- ness while the shooting jacket is her trademark. She will go far in the field of her choice because she will devote herself wholeheartedly to it. Her enthusiasm and individuality unite to make a winning combination.

Then, from a very cluttered house chairman's room appears Alex, known to her many friends as Birdle - Strangers, steer clear- the great pinching monster is loose once more to leave her marks on anyone handy. Alex's motto is, Be independent, buy a wheelbarrow and roll your own. Your local hardware dealer carries I-Iammer's wheelbarrows in stock. Lanary is usually seen in elegant cocktail dresses, preferably black, and her conversations are of Yale! As this is written, Yale conversations center around a character called John, but who knowsemaybe it will be Ezekiel next Week. Lanary is a very fickle Birdle. We can't stop without mentioning Dagmar's great vivaciousness. She attributes her never- ending energy to Peppy Packs of Pep-po, her favorite breakfast food.

Further proof may be found in the blue sticker on Juanita's green Olds and in the ten-page letters she re- ceives daily from ye olde Bancroft. All Spanish II students can vouch for her efforts to brighten this class, although, according to Senorita, it needs to be Hunbrightenedf' She can be spotted on Monday morning as the only girl with a very, very bright smile on her face. It's so nice to have one who is so animated with the thought of the coming week of school! I-lummm.

Oh, you say she's not wear- ing a dickie? It must be Allene, then, who, by the way, also likes a bare midriff for tennis classes! Slowly, but firmly is an apt description of Allene's progress from chapel to class, class to class, and class to sports. She is, however, the first day student in the car at 4:30 P.M. Huey zooms skyward in a lanky fashion and stops abruptly, just short of five-feet-ten. One of the most amazing phenomena seen in civilized society today is the ludicrous sight of Allene climbing over a front seat. Yards and yards of arms and legs expand as nearly and unexpectedly as a yo-yo! Her conversation is completely captivating with its double pattern, and she has produced many spontaneous convulsions via her remarks and antics as the class cynic.

Anna Ellis Iiuhns Forward her cry: diligence leer watrhworel To those who claim there is no such thing as perpetual motion, our only retort is to leave them alone with Kuhns for an hour. If they live through it, they will be convinced! Being Chairman of Chapel Committee and Presi- dent of Squeek Club hasn't daunted her spirit and enthusiasm, which seem to overtake and leave people like a tornado. She's the gal with the feminine crew cut whose parents still offer to pay her a dime to sit still for ten minutes. Well gee, guy, that's great! Another Kuhns remark has been made, but don't fret-it won't be the last. At the slightest prompting she will launch into a lengthy Cunderstatement of the year!!!!D discussion on anything from the eating habits of Upper Mongolian pygmies to the drinking habits of W. and L. freshmen. Tell us, who else can have her pie and throw it, too? Don't let the word get around, but her fondest desire at present is to be a preacher's wife some- day!

Barbara Ellin liinq Our whole life ir like ez play -but 'Mamselle, I wax paying attention! These words hallow the one and only second- period French class. Here, Barbara exhibits her advanced knowledge of this foreign language and will leave behind her many amusing faux pas. A tall, slender blonde in the natural state, Barbara is the possessor of a grand sense of hu- mor, and nothing seems to bother her very long. Who else can make a hobby out of avoiding class meetings, gym, and activities, and still laugh? For a gal who can't boil water, she has turned out many tasty-looking dishes in Foods. Her culinary gift will, no doubt, come in handy when, come June, her weekly treks to and from Annapolis will be ended. For three years she has represented Mount Vernon at the Naval Academy. Her plans for the future include a home of her own and no homework to slave over at night. . . ifl ever graduate, I'm getting married! White team. 91126 Marian lllarls Mtllnrmatls I aelieve in the world Hey, can you tell me how to get through the lunch line again? That's the cry as Marion flnishes the last bit of her appetizer. Lately, however, this cry has died away . . . the Mary- land basketball team has been dieting, so she must do likewise! Among her souvenirs is that luvly silver basketball which seems to spend half of its life at Maryland U. and half at M.V.S. If anywhere in the halls you hear, Can some- body help me with my Spanish? or while walk- ing down the street, Say, catch those duals. AfCH,C they great?l! you have found Marion. Gay and happy over life in general, we don't doubt for a minute that Marion will always be in there shooting for and making the baskets of life with the greatest of ease. Yellow team, prep players, IV. 27ll1 Pamela Mathews Who brake no promire, Jerved no private end Neutral is the perfect word to describe Miss Matthews. She likes anything, as long as it's fun, and dislikes almost nothing. Of course, our dear little gray skirts aren't ex- actly designed to flatter bodies, but Pam sur- mounts even this obstacle. Let's face it ,... A constant patron of the small black object that rings, Pam even has her private line in order to talk to her many, many beaux! My goodness, did you see that? Whenever she drives her green Dodge to school, this ques- tion goes down the line. You see, the back of said Dodge is completely bashed in. Pam says her uncle did it, and who are we to doubt her word? . . . Her existence in general is wonderful and glam- orous, but her one drawback is the chronic ill- ness that attacks her just before each gym class. Here are life and Pamela, both of which are usually quite gay, happy, and free. White team, prep players, IV. Beatrice Mulfnrd Mutz Charm .rtriker the Jigbtj merit win! the mal Here's the gal with that glorious continental air and a slight accent! She came to us from Vienna and has truly graced our school with her pres- ence. Even in Latin class we are reminded of her native tongue when we hear Bea meekly mumble, But Miss Kinard, German is like this .... Bea can be quiet and thoughtful when the occa- sion calls for her to be, but when she has some- thing to say, watch out! From reports, we've heard that all was not quiet and thoughtful last summer when Beatrice, in one of her gayer moods, proved to be the life of many Washing- ton parties. Now residing on the campus, she's glad not to have to walk the beaten path up Foxhall. You'll never find a greater sport or more de- pendable friend than our Bea! It must have been one like this who inspired the old world com- posers to such heights. White team, Lend-a-Hand, II, prep players, vice-president, IV, glee club, III, typing club, Ilg Caramel, IV.

This child of the glib tongue has been getting away with murder here at M.V.S. for the past four years with her talent for making up most believable excuses, i.e.: Place: chapel line-up Accused: Joyce Crime: wearing a green sweater over a pink chambray uniform Excaye: My little sister cut up my pink one for a doll blanket See??!!!! Joyce is a philanthropist in her own way. She has a certain affection for carry-out shops and has been supporting several who, without her frequent patronage, would have long since gone bankrupt.

The place is the road from Alexandria to Washington. As the scene opens, we see a long green car decked in Confederate flags tearing down the road. Will she make it to M.V.S. by 8245? Seconds later the car screeches to a halt .... She made it! This strawberry blonde lost no time in endear- ing herself to all of us with her complete gen- erosity and sparkling wit. At lunch one can hear her giggles and the laughter of others at her table as she retells vivid tales of week- ends at Virginia, North Carolina, or Sewanee. Next year, some other school will be sharing her habit of never keeping still, her passion for sing- ing and talking, and all the happiness we have had with her.

We could have sworn that was a war-whoop on senior hall and we've every reason to believe it because of Nielsonni's Indian ancestry, but it was just the usual reaction when a letter comes her way from a lovlee northern State. Among her more honored positions, this woolly Westerner is a member of the Albuquerque Chamber of Commerce and is president of the F.B.I.k on Senior Hall, She is also among those who are strict followers of all the latest Korean news as the male situation becomes worse.

This remarkable girl has a passion for leaving the emergency brake off. Her yellow cab will be missed next year, but some will know the true reason for its disappearance-it's merely sunning after a cold night in a certain Safeway parking lot. Definitely one of the pillars of the school, and as much a part of it as its very walls, is this gal with the rare Optima marks, contagious school spirit, and a charming wistfulness and reticence. We plan to do something about her kind, beauty and brains, and she has generous servings of each, too. Sally may bid a sad farewell to her four-year home, but memories of her will and way will linger on at M.V.S. through the years. Friendliness al- ways abides in the hearts of the receivers ....

Marlis llsllurnu Sing no md .range for me California's loss was truly our gain when this cute blonde arrived to take her place with us this year. She's the one that talked to San Francisco for twenty minutes and then wondered if the bill would be high! Almost had to take in washing, didn't you, Marty? Tim, as she loves to be called by a favorite party, is worse than some of these Texans are about their only state. She's living in Wayne, Pennsylvania, too, which, incidentally, is the site of a school called Villanova. Ahem!! That's My Bill seems to be the theme song of several of our seniors this year, but Marty's fighting hard to gain a monopoly on this tune. She's always first in the mail line and loves to dominate conversations with stories of this Bill. She and B. are taking in sewing now, so if you've any Christian Dior originals or gradua- tion frocks that need altering, please let these two accommodate you!

Perhaps you, too, have been one of the unfortunate ones who has had to wait for this phone fanatic to finish talk- ing to Pennsylvania. You see, this lass is com- pletely and wholeheartedly from Scranton. B. Payne and her rainbow colored hair frequent Antoine's before all weekends. Her voice has given us all much pleasure these past two years, and it looks as though B. Payne could aspire to a very bright career now that her five-year school installment plan has been com- pleted. ' She plans to open Payne's Bakery this summer. Her pastries are guaranteed to be non-fattening. Millions of women are expected to patronize her shop!

Never let it be said that Lynn's naive, but the evening sessions when everyone chipped in to give her Lessons in Love will live on after her long flannel nightie is forgotten. At the practices of the B.P.T. and R. Society, Lynn has been a faithful participant and has daily given her all. She was unanimously elected President of the After Lights Social League on senior hall this year and has provided ample entertainment for all members and their visitors. In closing, we dare not say that Lynn doesn't speak French fluently CRepetez s'il vous plaity, but naturally her pronunciation tends towards the Southern part of France.

From behind a blanket of Lucky Strike smoke emerges John Ragsdale. Unless you, dear reader, should get the wrong impression, John's the true title given to this easy-going, definitely feminine rebel! She claims it was handed down from her Grand- mother, but there are rumors .... All in a Saturday night are invitations to mid- winters at Carolina and home-comings at U.Va., but what We don't understand are the casual at- titude and the frequent, but definitely misused, I don't have a thing to Wear. Even saying goodnight to Aunt Dottie with the mouth full of chocolate cake is easily taken in stride by John.

She is on her daily jaunt down the hill to the famed MacArthur vicinity. Most often seen catching up on some lost beauty sleep or combing her luscious locks, Elsa is another fine representative of our southern neighbors. She's from Ecuador, the land of guitars and bueno serenades. fNote: The custom of strict chaperoning is overlooked now- adays, right Elsa?D Even though We sometimes hear a quiet, Oh, what will I do? she has had less trouble com- prehending the school rules than some of the old gals! She is also one of the few who have been able to retain their maidenly modesty through boarding life. Careful though, she's also one of the ticklish variety! Yellow team, prep players, IV.

Nowhere can one find a livelier bundle of energy. Along with helping everyone else, she has found time, through the years, to edit the Celleplume, rake in pictures for the CUPOLA, and give her talents to all the varsities! Take one look at her, tearing down the hockey field for the ole White Team, and it's easy to understand why she's their Captain. She has been spurring these Whites on to better things all year. A pert face, an exceptionally cheery smile, and a friendly greeting all belong to Genie. If you ever want to know the silly things you did in your senior year, just look her up! Her senior scrapbook can't be beaten. Days of happiness are in store for anyone who gives her time so unselfishly as our Genie!

Mary Luuise Warden From little rparkr, great fllzmer grow We didn't see much of Mick last year. She was either studying or writing to-Milt! This year is a different story. The studying part we shall kindly ignore. However, she has increased her roll call of male admirers considerably. Her dilemma now consists in choosing between Cornell, Johns Hopkins QD, and the University of West Virginia weekends. Over these de- cisions she alternates from the abysmal depths of grief to the highest points of ecstasy. North- western males will claim her next year. She has made Lend-a-Hand an important part of the school and has also contributed to the Squeek Society. Finally, we must give credit where it is due: it was quite a struggle to keep a certain G. C. from sneaking out and partying nights. This bright one with a twinkle in her eyes and her head towards the stars leaves behind her a list of achievements, and of girls who will never forget her!

HI1EUE'5 GALLERY 37 SENIUH PIJEM Did you ever seek to say farewell To someone you really loved? You had a speech that was all prepared And the moment came in which to say it, But you talked of the weather Or just gave a smile and a shake of the hand. In the hours that passed you began to think Of the things that had gone unspoken. You thought of words you might have said About help and inspiration received, The joys and sorrows That you both had shared in the years gone by. Perhaps you did not realize Just what your friendship meant, But when the person went away You experienced the cost of parting And understood well the good fortune you knew When your friend was there. The time has come to say farewell To M.V.S. and high school days. We cannot express ourselves just now Nor make a speech to show our thoughts, Yet we love our school And linger reluctantly at her doors. Though we may not now appreciate What our school has done for us, The preparation, the life, the song We received within her rooms Will keep living on, And someday . . . We will know.

Four years of school have reached an end And now we try to comprehend The mingled hope and joy and fear We feel as parting time draws near. Now we take our pen and write The end to four years passing sight, While through our minds some memories Of many frolics, sports, and fun, Also the bells, exams, and fears, And times of mingled joys and tears. Now when we think of all we've done, We wish school days had just begun. So many things we used to do, They come back now in quick review: Sports and then the field house cokes, Activities, dues, and corny jokes. The classes, parties and the dances, The letters, phone calls, and romances, English, speech, Latin, art, ln some such work we all took part. We'd wait for weekends, watch them fly, Commencements here and time to cry. We wonder in these last school days What future fate is the next phase. Some into work the world's voice calls, While others turn toward college halls. Some will travel, some will wed. Some will be leadersg some will be led. Yet what fate tomorrow sends, On us the future world depends. How we build it, time will tell, But now we seniors say Farewell. I'l11'1 CAROLYN NIELSEN EXTH , EXTH ...WII.I.'5 FIJUND! Flash! Deserted shores of Washingtika Island, South Pacific-June lst, 1966, a native of this island in the middle of the Pacific has just stumbled upon what may be the find of the century! A bottle, washed upon these bleak shores by a tidal wave and bearing the crest of The CUPOLAJ, shipwrecked at sea fourteen years ago, has been found. This bottle contains what may prove to be a very important govern- ment document. Worn and faded from passing the years in a Grove's Chill Tonic Bottle, this paper contains the last will and testament of Mount Vernon Seminary's 1952 Senior Class.

In interviewing the fortunate finder of this document, your reporter discovered her inten- tions concerning the wills. She plans to turn her booty over to the Washingtika branch of the International Cooperative Society for the Preservation of Ship-Wreck Curios, and later to the Congressional Library, and to give Simp- ton Sirnoleus, renowned author of Famous Last Words, the slogan on the bottle- Never thought we'd make it.
