Essie Mizell Stripling Midland, Texas Three and one half years r 7 shall light a candle of understanding in thine heart, which shall not he put out ” Apocrypha Nobody can take five subjects, make honor grades, hold the position of Student Body President, and still find time to blow up the chemistry lab or found an MACS, bridge club. That is — nobody but Essie. Ready for a good laugh? Just call on f, Es ' Not only will she tell you a hilarious story, but her wild gestures and Texas accent will keep you in stitches. Of course, there is a serious side and she will readily listen to anyone ' s problems at any time of day. Essie’s outstanding leadership has made her a central figure on the MACS, campus. Through her time, interest, and understanding, she has given much not only to her school but to each of her classmates. She has done a great job as head of the Student Body this year, and will certainly be missed. Carol Hughes Pam pa, Texas Three years (t She praises Cod in her Beauty and Grace A Dp la Mare Only with a smile and lovely thoughts can we think of Carol. Because of her sincerity, thought- fulness and inner charm, we know her to be a vision of loveliness. Her beautiful features and sparkling eyes seem to be illuminated by her soul which we can only imagine as pure and deep. Having actively and enthusiastically participated in a wealth of school functions, she has proven to be both talented and successful, capably handling numerous offices and responsibilities at Mount Ver- non. Without Carol, there would surely have been no Senior Record Hop. What a success it was too! The class of ’56 feels both proud and indebted to her, and we thank her from the bottom of our hearts for being such a wonderful president and for de- voting so much of her time and energy to our wd fare.

Sandra jane Anderson Washington, DC Four years tf It is far off and rather like a dream. 1 Shakespeare Sandy, a student at Mt Vernon for four years, is famous for her attractive posters which are often seen in the halls. Vet she still has found time to successfully carry on her school activities. For the first time Mt Vernon has a Day Student Represen- tative, and there is no one more capable of setting an excellent precedent for this office than Sandy. Tall and slender, she has poise on the stage, plays the piano well, and has produced many prize-win- ning oil paintings. Sandy ' s warmth has extended to everyone she has met. Her friendliness and willingness to help others are her most outstanding characteristics and are quite contagious. If you see a student wandering through the hall with her head in the clouds and a euphoric expression on her face, you can be sure it is Sandy.

Julia Peck Andreae Port Huron, Michigan Two years tf Qn Morning Wings how active springs the mind that leaves the had of yesterday behind ' Pope Sweet and innocent! These two words seem to describe Julie at first glance. But watch out! She ' s full of fire and mischief that burst out and affect everyone around her. As treasurer of the Senior Class she has managed miraculously to keep us out of debt this year. Famous for her incessant routine of dieting and splurging, Julie somehow manages to hold onto that good figure. She is one of Michi- gan ' s staunchest rooters, and as far as she is con- cerned, there is no place like good old Port Huron, Because these past two years have been made more enjoyable by her presence, we thank Julie for just being herself. 15
