Mary Amelia Johnson Washington, D. C. As full of spirit as the month of May.” Sham - S PE ARE She was last seen speeding through I). C. on an empty tank of gas at midnight. Destination? She must reach Rockin’ Red’s Record Rocm before closing time. Melie knows how to live, even when she’s in solitary” for six months. 1 ler sparkling wit and ready laughter arc a shining light in this serious world of ours.

D. K., familiarly known as Dougic”. A farmer’s daughter in the true sense ' of the word, Doug can do anything from driving Jp r a tractor to milking Bessie. She also has a coun- try chile’s appetite — especially for ice cream. Doug’s tremendous vitality can be seen in every- thing she does: her love for fun, her efficiency in managing the Chapel Guild this year, and her Vgjjlh qj S enthusiasm for school activities. There is never a j jL ' wudull moment for Doug, and with Doug around there’s nevpr a dull moment for us. l r ’ p yts Team; Chapel Guild, III, President, IV; Cellophane, pA ..

Yellow Team; Cupola, IV; Glee Club, III. Frances Lee Hummel Washington, D. C. ff Integrity , healthy soundness to the full.” Jeffers Everyone at Mount Vernon will agree that it is Fran who is responsible for the high level of sport spirit. As president of the Athletic Association, I ran has expended much time and energy in arous- ing the student body from a state of indifference to one of exhuberance. Her efforts are not confined to sports, however, for she gives herself unselfishly to all phases o f school life. In spite of her many extra-curricular activities, Fran has always main- tained a fine scholastic record. What is it about Fran that has endeared her to all of us? Perhaps it’s the wonderful combination of friendliness, good humor, and complete honesty. Cynthia Hughes Washington, D. C. rf Lit tie 1 ask; my wants are few” Holmes Ciny is a Wilson veteran who has been with us for two years. Although she appears quiet to those who don’t know her well, Ciny is quite a gay blade at heart. At parties her secret personality reveals itself in the form of demure hilarity. Not a single weekend finds Ciny at home — she simply disap- pears until Monday morning. Ciny is always ready to help a friend with any task and does it cheer- fully. Tiny, dark, and feminine, she possesses many ladylike qualities that we all would like to acquire. Yellow Team; Hockey, II, III, IV; Basketball, II, III, IV; Baseball, II, III, IV; A. A.

' 7 hold no dream of fortune vast , Nor seek undying fame.” Guest I’m in a good mood today. ” This statement is a typical Monday morning Leofflerism — until lab. Gloria seems to be the shy type, but some know her better than that. With her own special sense of humor, she is the cause of sudden out- bursts of laughter — eh, Fran? Gloria is a member of the elite three in French IV who have been to France and are therefore able to exchange their American twang for throaty French sounds. Well, the time has come to leave, and there is Gloria, batting her big blue eyes and smiling shyly. Lyn McClure Washington, D. C. The clear brown eyes , kindly and alert .” Feaking A shining example to new girls, Lynn has made a place for herself during her one short year with us. As art editor of the Carousel , she has proven herself clever and talented; as a cheerleader, spirited and livly. Dimples” is quite an asset to the chemistry department. Always striving for the spectacular, she has accomplished every feat but blowing up the lab. This she will do with a little more practice. What next? Lynn asks innocently and points an acid-burned finger to a hole in her acid-burned sweater. Yellow Team; Cheerleader, IY; Sports Club. IV; Cltoi a. IV; Carousel, Art Editor. IV. 27
