Hilda Hutchins Bangor, Maine Two years ” Individuality is everywhere to he spared and re- spected as the root of everything good” Richter Who remains calm and collected midst turmoil and crisis? Who is it that just knows her blind date will be a drip, and then has the best time of all at the dance? Who is the person that at first seems a little shy, but whose personality displays a kindness and quality of character seldom found? A true and steady friend through all, the best proctor on the hall, Hilda is the girl with whom we associate the Maine Maritime Academy; red, white, and blue rail- road cars; a slight disturbance in the library; and many other incidents too numerous to mention. Wherever Hilda goes, better known as ' HiT or Hutch 1 ' , people will love her as we do. The class of would be incomplete without our New Eng- land representative. Barbara Edwards Honaker Huntington; West Virginia Two years Her air, her manners , all who saw admired ; courte- ous , though coy f and gentle, though retired ” Crabbe Barbara, our girl from West Virginia, is loved by all who know her, and she leaves cheer and a generous feeling wherever she goes. Barbara is admired most of all for her amazing ability to look neat at all times. She not only dresses to perfection, but her winning manner, happy smile and charm set Barbara apart as a special girl. She is also a stu- dent, one whom Mount Vernon can be proud of, A steady worker and an enthusiastic Sports Club mem- ber, Barbara is always ready to lend a helping hand. Anyone with worries or blues can depend on her for help and friendly advice. As she leaves, Mount Vernon w ishes her all the luck and happiness possible in years to come.

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.

IV Page Ellyson Jennings Charlottesville, Virginia One year ft A rider unequaled. a sportsman complete Whyte Who ' s the girl wc often find sitting on her bed, writing that daily letter? Why, it ' s Penny, of course! A quiet girl, she is about as unpredictable as the Washington weather and her hai r-do changes as often. A lover of horses, she never fails to get her daily ride. Apparently, this pastime doesn ' t afford her enough exercise, for, after meals, Penny energe- tically and religiously exercises to music. Also a lover of hillbilly music, she shakes the very founda- tions of Somers when she plays her favorite record, forgot to Re member to Forget , As one of our new girls this year, any boarder would tell you that she has been an invaluable contributor to the happy atmosphere of Somers senior hall ' Barbara Gregg Ingalls Birmingham, Alabama Three years Fond of fun as fond can be Sayers In 1954 there was a sophomore around here with great big blue eyes and a brown dress. This is and she is still here and still has that brown dress. This is Butter bean, of course, who else but? If there is a good jitterbug record on the victrola, she will be dancing. If there is a group of people talking, she ' ll be the center. If there is a cloud of smoke, she ' s in the middle of it. And if you ever see a beautiful yacht (small ship), she ' s on it. Fun loving hardly describes shining Butte rbean, the Birming- ham kid. Full of mischief, the lights bell is only a starter for this one, and we certainly know the girls in the first room on the left downstairs will miss her next year. They won ' t be the only ones. f | Yellow Team; Sports Club. IV. 26
