Juan Carmichael Happy I am, from care I'mfree,' why can't they all he content like nze Well girls, I'm off to Georgetown! 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.

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???????!

Janet Lnuise Blum Haw far that little candle tlvmwr its beam The Senior Boarding Department wishes to take this opportunity to express its warm apprecia- tion to Blum for the many wonderful parties and tasty tads she has so freely given after the weak, 'Tm starved! 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.

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!
