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

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.

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.
