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!!

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. Overheard: I'm wild, just wild.

Sally Jann Parllun The hand that follows intellect can achieve Loft: Sally May be found: 1. at the S.A.E. House CMaryland BranchD or 2. tearing around in a chartreuse Ford convertible. 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! Yellow team, prep players, IV. bll3o
