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

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.

Colette Curtenius Kalamazoo, Michigan Two years She comes with gusts of laughter , The musk as of rills; W ith tenderness and sweetness, The wisdom of the hills Carman When a sudden peal of laughter or an affectionate comment on Princeton meets our ears, we all know from whence they come. No one is ever surprised to find the spirited Coco dancing across campus, engrossed in a dramatic scene in Prep Players, hold- ing her own in intellectual conversations or playing Beethoven on the piano. Perhaps this diversity of ability can be attributed to her continental back- ground. As for goals, she has aspired to some of the highest. None of us would be surprised to someday hear that this ' 56 House President has had great success through her artistic talents, especially with her school of ballet and music.

Darlene Rae Dodge Miami Beach, Florida Two years She has a voice of gladness and a smile of eh cjuence and beauty J 1 Bryant ' Five foot two, eyes of . , . Well, in this case they ' re a soft brown. And, oh, what those five feet can do. Swimming, waterskiing, diving and sleeping are cherished pastimes. Although a bit shy and re- tiring, Darlene has a subtle wit, loves to laugh and enjoys any joke, even on herself. Besides sports she appreciates and enjoys music and the arts. Her beauty is as natural and gentle as her smile, and she loves nothing better than to help people with their pro- blems. With a genuine understanding and a deep religious reverence, Dar has made an excellent president of the Chapel Guild. What more could you ask for? Talent, charm, ability, leadership-all these are a part of the personality that is Darlene. 20
