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. Mary-.Inycu Mills Tberefr a heap 0' pmt-up-goodnesx With an innocent, Why, I'd never use any- thing but Lux, youngj. Mills slips behind the wheel of a powder-blue Buick and is off. 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. Overheard: I'm wild, just wild.

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.

llnrnthy Estelln Ilrr Of zz good beginning cometh zz good ma' The time is 8:44 Monday morning. 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. Her snapping eyes and ready smile have become a permanent fixture around here, 'tho! White team, president prep players, 2nd semester, IV, Carouiel, IV. 2916 Earnlyn M. Nielsen A little nomenye now and then if relixbed by the jinext men A scream is heard, followed by the patter of many dainty QD feet! Burpie shoots by, and be- hind her . . . is it a bird? . . . is it a blimp?. . . NO! It's the editor of this book! Don't be de- ceived, she's really a stable, level-headed girl . . . Never gets rattled . . . at least, hardly ever! 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. Overheard: I just about corroded! I've lost a pound!!
