Jeanne Frederick Hutehisun A temple to friendtloip If you happen to bump into a smiling face, arched eyebrows, long provocative hair Cthrough which gleams another crest!D, you may be sure you've hit Hutch, or Juanita, who has won all our hearts with her charming personal- ity. ln only one year, Hutch has proved to us what a true Annapolisite she is. 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. Yellow team, prep players, IV. 251121 llllene Hughes Huffman A quiet mind it richer than 4 crown Who is that standing in the locker room with hands on hips and a defiant look, defending her beloved Shadyside? 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.

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.

Alexandra Hammer Laughter and wit went flashing ro free Do you mind? echoes out of room 33 and down the hall and rebounds off the battle- scarred walls of Senior Corridor. 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.

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! This bumblebee would really have a par- sonage iumping ....

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
