Katharine Mary Beatrice Hadow Bli AGON SFI ELD, BUCKINGHAMSHIRE England One year He was my friend f faithful and juft to me” SHAKESPEARE Kate came from England this year and immedi- ately fitted herself into Mount Vernon. She seemed to have no qualms as she entered a school and a coun- try strange and new to hen Before long Kate had made a place for herself in the class and had been elected to several school offices, most important of all becoming busines s manager of Carousel. Her typically English poise and fascinating accent have added both humor and enjoyment to our class. Cute and vivacious although restrained, she is often seen walking through the halls with a prayerbook for chapel or a broken test tube and a dime for Miss Eulton. Mount Vernon will surely miss this English lass.

Linda Hollis Hall Falls Church, Virginia Two years Cheerfulness is an off shoot of goodness and wis- dom ” Bov EE ' Please hand in your write-ups!” You might say that this is one of Linda s most frequent remarks as literary editor of our yearbook. Walking into a classroom with clipboard in hand, Linda, you can be sure, is on the trail of an article for Cupola. Because of her creative ability, Linda is always in demand, but Cupola has claimed most of her time. She can recall many happy hours of her leisure time on the Severn River and longer vacations on the North Carolina coast— with or without hurri- canes. Pert, vivacious, and cheerful, Linda makes up for her size by her actions, both serious and fun- loving. When she goes off to college and onto a dental career, we can be sure that Mount Vernon won ' t be the only school to miss her. There ' s always the Academy, eh, Linda? 23

V h i tc Tea i n ; P re p Ft aye rs , IV. Gayle Gwen Grimes Washington, D.C. Two years The wildest manners ami the gentlest heart Homer This lively spark is a glow from the top of her naturally curly hair to the third finger of her lef: hand. Two years at Mt Vernon have proved her interests to be as varied as her moods. Her interests include, among other things, modern dance, Glee Club and English. A red leotard is part of her uni- form; and her rhythmic w r alk is evidence of her dancing ability. Her happy disposition enabled her to survive all the extra Glee Club practices and her diplomacy made the dub glad she was president. In English, her themes indicate literary ability. And.. Gayle is not only a good student but seems to thrive on a heavy schedule. Judging from her past achieve- ments, we are assured of her success in the future. Joan Marie Griffen Rye, New York One year Kindness is nobler even than revenge. Shakespeare Looking for Joanie? ' . . Try the Rec Room . , . She ' s quite the bridge fan you know ' On second thought, look in the gym ♦ . . she might be working with Prep Players. In addition to her bridge and dramatic interests, Joan has a great yen for traveling and hopes, someday, to visit all of ou foreign neighbors. She holds many memories of Bermuda, one of her favorite resorts, and plans a return trip by way of the Ocean Monarch, Definite plans for her future are uncertain, but, being the roving kind, we think that eventually, she will have circumnavigated the globe. A welcome new member to the class of ' 56, Joan has proven herself thoughtful and considerate throughout the year. Yellow Team; Glee Club, III, President, IV; Chapel Guild IV; Lend-A-Hand, IV, 22

Sara Morrison Harris Charlotte, North Carolina Four years The sweet expression of that face, forever changing, yet the same ' Browning The field house is rocking with the voices of the hillbilly singers from Somers, there is no doubt as to who is leading the group. It is the unmistakable Sara Harris. Saras presence never goes unnoticed. In the refectory, she is the lunch room chatter box; at the mail table, she is the first in line; and on the dance floor, she is surrounded by masculine admirers. The latter could not be otherwise for not only is she friendly, gay, talkative and charming but she is also the epitome of smart style in clothes. Resem- bling a page from Vogue with enviable complexion, radiant hair, polished fingertips and slender silhou- ette, how could anyone resist her?

Elizabeth Caroline Hohlt Houston, Texas O ne year rt A true friend is forever a friend ’ MacDonald Whether she has a banana in her ear or a crown on her head, Betty is the life of every party and a friend to all. Her eyes of Texas shine upon you with a sparkle of enthusiasm. Even though this was her first year at Mount Vernon, she became secre- tary of Lend-A-Hand, a peppy cheerleader, and White Team Captain during the last semester. Cer- tainly she is to be congratulated for holding these offices with such competence as well as for her other virtues, for in all we do, in all we say, she is behind us, making all those around her happy. Her allegi- ance is pledged to the Lone Star State, but her heart is forever w r ith her friends. White Team, C aptain Second semester.
