Joyce Maureen Brady It was never like this in the Philippines!” chattered Joy one wintcry day. Why, it never gets below 60 there.” Joyce came to us from Manila in her junior year. She was in Post House her senior year, but lower junior hall and the home ec room in Somers offered many good times for and because of Joyce and the s 6.” Working hard your Junior year is well worth the reward, as Joyce discovered. Being a five-day boarder must be the life, although it must be admitted that the packing could be a nuisance. Who could know Annapolis better than Joyce? It must be nice . Miss Posture Queen of 19 S2” is a very ver- satile person. Not only was she gifted with what is known (to very few) as brains, but with athletic ability. J oyce has claimed Mary Washington as her first choice. It is strange that the college is com- paratively near Annapolis. White Team; Hockey, III; Cupola, IV; Spom Club, III. Ida Cason Callaway LiP Ida is one of the seniors at Mt. Vernon who has resided at Somers House for the long period of four years. If our senior class ever needed an historian, Ida, without a doubt, would do an admirable job. Although Miss Callaway has been up north these four years, she certainly hasn’t lost her Confederate spirit. Her voice is always raised in song, especially if the song happens to be Dixie.” With her high school days drawing to a close, Ida plans to leave the solid South once again and attend Stephens College in Missouri. After a few days at this new school, all of Stephens will love and be amused by our one and only Ida Callaway. Although we’re not too positive, we’ve been led to believe that Ida has been saving her Con- federate money because if she has anything to say about it, the South’s going to rise again.

Jane Atterbury Borden One icy morning, when the temperature was struggling to reach the 30 below 0 mark, a babe emerged into the cold North, to take her place among the other brave Eskimos of Massachu- cattes, and soon became a dyed in the wool Yankee.’ This Yale trooper is famous for sporting Ber- muda shorts, knee socks and a white ski sweater. Miss B. has contributed her many talents throughout various functions at school, distin- guishing herself in the field of hockey. By securing a seat on the Student Council for two years, Janie has contributed many of her dynamic ideas towards the government of our Alma Mater. As Student Body President, she has represented Mt. Vernon in a manner of which we are proud. When old and gray, one is sure to find Miss Borden either plunging off Niagara Falls in a barrel or skiing down Suicide Hill. Wherever she be, one sad note of a worn-out song is sure to be bouncing off the mountains of Vermont — Yankee Doodle Dandy. Alexandra Martin Scheele Sandy, the girl with the gavel, has proved three times to be a most capable class president. Presiding over the class of ’S3 has given Sandy many chances to exercise her diplomacy and her patience. A born leader and organizer, this ver- satile miss seems to be overly endowed with brains and a talent in the swimming pools. As if being president weren’t enough to keep her gasping for air, Sandy always finds time to extricate her classmates from their individual ruts. She is probably the only girl in the whole school who is never seen doing nothing. We never cease to marvel at the waist-length hair which she from time to time lets cascade down from neat braids. Her varied interests keep her corresponding with all corners of the U.S. Sandy’s talents in the field of science will lead her to study medicine and we know that wher- ever she goes her good will and friendliness will pave the road to inevitable success. 14

Though not new around the campus, and certainly not un- known by all the girls, Linda has managed to retain her maidenly shyness, which is a refreshing and rare quality at Mt. Vernon. Her enviable light blonde hair and sweet na- ture have attracted much attention, but Linda hardly seems to notice. During her first year at M.V.S., the girls nicknamed her Irma,” which has somehow re- mained as her nickname ever since. This Irma,” however, is really far from being dumb. If you are ever in any sort of trouble or have a problem, just look for Linda; she can always help in some way. Her plans for a school this fall arc still in- definite, though Trinity College here in Washing- ton seems to be her main preference right now. Edith-Anne Collins For all those who have been proctored in the study hall by Miss Collins, the word QUILT has much significance. She lays the bull whip on heavily if some poor innocent person slams her books on the table. In all seriousness, Edic has done remarkable work proctoring during third and fourth periods. Because of her long-term stay at Mt. Vernon, Edie has been a mascot for each graduating class. Now the time has come when she too will carry a dozen red roses, reach for her diploma, and at the same time shake Mr. Lloyd’s hand. Edie has inherited much of M.V.S.’s school spirit while Mt. Vernon has acquired much of the spirit of Edic. Although sometimes she is like a tempest in a teapot, M. Collins also has an overly generous attitude. When Edie has finally left these halls of learn- ing, warm memories of Edie and her prancing and dancing will remain, but most of all, her understanding and eagerness to please will be remembered. 16
