Three years The charm, the grace, that lime makes strong. Dobson A noise in the hall . . . soon Cart nonchalantly enters the library, munching her apple, playing her violin and scouting for a bridge fourth. No one is quite so successful as she in driving away gloom; she is absolutely mirth-provoking with her ridiculous antics. Having a sense of humor and a sunny dis- position, she may seem to some people only to be concerned with having a good time. Bev, however, has a good mind and is capable of doing most any- thing, whether it be aci ng a Spanish test or making a hockey goal. We thank Bev for many happy times and hope her philosophy will always remain, Laugh today and worry about it tomorrow . ’ Ann Carter Los Anghlfs, California One and one half years ' 7 have a heart with mom for every joy. Baili-y-Fhstus Athletic ability and intelligence go hand in hand to make Ann one of the outstanding girls in the Senior Class, A whiz at basketball and tennis, she has been a great addition to the Yellow Team. Ann ' s name always appears on the honor roll and early in her senior year, she earned one of Mt. Vernon’s coveted honors, by becoming a member of Optima. A girl bursting with ambition, Ann has her eye on a career future. With her interest and talent in art, a career of painting in Paris or fashion designing seems to be in store for her. You can be sure that through her perseverance and determination, she will achieve success. California should be proud of this citizen. Yellow Team; Class Treasurer.

Longfellow Vivacity and enthusiasm personified — who but our ri Southern Sweetheart, Alice Carter? Alice is always busy, studying hard for those top notch grades, working in Prep Players, or just being friendly to everybody. As a new senior, she has taken a great interest in the school and with endless enthusiasm has been a lively cheerleader for the Yellow Team, Whether playing for chapel, attending classes, or participating in sports, we continually find Alice with a cheerful, sunny disposition. By being just natural, she has acquired a wealth of friends and contributed spirit to our class. With these attributes we think Alice is off to a good start in life. Ann Stuart Burroughs Flint, Michigan Three years f ' Though pleased to see the dolphins play , mind my compass and my way Green Ann, our sailor from Michigan is one of Mount Vernon ' s three year girls. We consider ourselves lucky to have had in our midst the National Junior Champion of the Y-flyer class. Quiet shyness is only the exterior of Ann ' s sincerity and amiability. Of course this quiet shyness doesn ' t necessarily hold true when she ' s surrounded by a group of laughing, chattering giris. Burroughs, as she is affectionately called, is a cheering member of the w-hite team and an enthusiastic Mount Vernon supporter. Never appearing to be in a hurry, Ann just sits back and relaxes, letting things happen as they will. This characteristic is what makes her so patient with work and friends. Blonde hair and blue eyes help to make Ann a pretty girl. 17 Yellow Team; Basketball, IV; Cheerleader, Captain, IV; House Council. IV; Chapel Guild. IV; Prep Players Secretary ' Treasurer.

Nancy Cassedy Washington, D.C. Four years How far that little candle throws its beam ” Shakespeare ' Bird ' 1 , our petite yet potent package of vitality is known for her impish giggle and shaggy dog stories. Laughingly we tease her; laughingly she takes it. Full of jests and jibes, this little comedienne has only to enter the day student locker room on a dreary Monday morning and Jong faces and short tempers disappear. Being a constant source of en- tertainment for her classmates and possessing a sense of responsibility, Nancy was unanimously elected Social League President. Through the efforts of Madame President and her staff, school dances this year with their good music, clever decorations, and blind dates, have provided us with many fond memories. By fulfilling this by-no-means-easy job w r ith an exceptional efficiency, we predict no failures in whatever she undertakes next year. White Team ; Optima, IV; Lend- A Hand.

Jean Rachel Crawford Savannah, Georgia Two years Where there is much light , the shadow is deep ' 1 Goethe Jean, our belle from Savannah, will always be remembered for her soft drawl, Southern charm, and refined tastes for the good things of life. She is a paragon of sympathy and kindness, vivacity mingling with seriousness and conscientiousness. She leaves nothing undone and is modest about her enviable brain power. A regular name on the Honor Roll, Jean was made a member of Optima in Decem- ber. Not one to waste time, she makes a habit of doing her best work in the least amount of time possible. She constructively uses her spare time to keep Cupola out of the red and the White Team victorious in all basketball games. Efficient, intelli- gent, outstanding in all she does, her deeds are un- surpassed. 19
