Frances Jane Crigier Washington, D.C Four years ' ' Great achievements raise a monument ! 7 And Fran. She was just about the best-loved person around school this year— our Student Body President. She took part in all kinds of activities- — Optima, Glee Club, hockey varsity, and any needed art work. And every time there was a dance, Fran was there decorating —getting more done than anyone else and having about twice as much fun doing it. If you didn ' t find her doing any of these things, though, you could be pretty sure she was helping someone — making a new girl feel at home, helping another to understand a rule, or just listening to a problem and being sympathetic. It seemed to be gen- eral knowledge that Fran could be counted on to understand. What else was it about Fran that made everyone who knew her love her so much? I’m not quire sure, but there was something about her that made her ' extra-special.” I’ll miss her so — everyone will. Beverly Hope Blumberg Dothan, Alabama Two years With my whole heart and my whole soul First of all there w r a$ Bev. She w r as the nearest thing to a perfect class president any class could have. Beauty, brains, talent, and that elusive quality called leadership — these four words describe her perfectly. To the Seniors, she was a rallying point; she always had the time and the energy; she never gave up when it looked certain that the decorations for the dance wouldn ' t be ready in time. To the underclassmen, she w r as North, a point by which to reckon your position, and go on again. Do you remember her fantastic posters? And the decorations for the Junior-Senior Banquet she did almost single-handedly? Ill never forger the squeals of delight as the Seniors walked in! Those English themes she turned in — she not only wrote better than most, but she illustrated, too. Whether it w r as skiing at Skytop, cheering for the Whites, studying for an exam, or illustrating this year- book, Bev always gave it everything she had.

Caroline Ann Adair Fort Wayne, Indiana Two years A daughter of the gods , divinely tall ami most divinely fair ' 1 Caroline is one of the most thoroughly likeable people at MACS, She is everything most girls want to be: pretry, intelligent (unobtrusively, of course), poised, and popular with both boys and girls. As 1 am browsing around in the new Library, l often see Caroline having a chat with Mrs. Wood, cataloguing new books, or giving instructions to some of the girls. This is just to point out how efficiently she is carrying out her work as president of the Library Council. If Caroline is not in the library, you may find her either talking to a new girl, giving her that ’ extra word to make her feel at home, listening to a world- shaking problem of one of her friends, or studying diligently. Her soft whisper is barely audible as she explains, ' Well, its pretty simple. You add rhe tangent and cosine, multiply that times the sine, cube it, and then divide by . .

Margaret Dunham Anderson Washington, D.C Three years A willing worker with a ready hand ' ' remember Margaret coming home from Europe last summer, filling our ears with gay tales of her explorations in Paris. I really believe she knows about every spot in the city I We were so envious, and always begged for more, but she usually started telling us a ridiculous fable, the moral of which was ' get those dues in! Margaret has been the class treasurer practically since anyone can remember. She was a good one, too. Her books were absolute perfection, balanced to the very last penny. She always looked so crestfallen when you said you had forgotten your dues again that you just couldn’t help promising you ' d have them in the next day, to see her smile again. She ' s artistic, too. Need a poster? Call for Margaret. Yellow Team, Cupola, dances — she has a poster for any occasion. As she leaves M.V.S., the last thing we will hear her say is, ‘ But, Sue, my saddles are brown and white! The funny rhing about it is — they are! 16
