White Team; Cellophane Business Manager IV; CUPOLA IV; Lend-a-Hand IV; Chape! Guild IV. Frances Arthur Union, South Carolina Two years u Laughter and wit went flashing so free ' The minute I enter the House of Hi-Fi (Frances ' room), I notice one thing: everyone’s laughing . , . well, smiling at least! The reason is quite simple — Frances is there. Her subtle remarks are served up with a syrupy Southern drawl, a well dimpled chin, and a devilish twinkle. Tance h has definite likes and dislikes. Among the latter are snobs, busy-bodies, and people on diets. She ignores the first two, and gendy chides the dieters, because, as usual, she’s going on a diet mahana. Her enthusiams include bridge, the rolls served in the Refectory, and parties. She ' s a ' natural for Glee Club with that deep, husky voice of hers, which has added the light touch to our singing group this year Ah sho’ly am gonna miss ya 1 TanceL Katherine duPon t Andrews Somerset, Virginia One year Wot much talk — -a great sweet silence In one short year, Kitten has accomplished more than seems possible. Not only has she made a good academic record, but she’s fitted right in with all the extracurricular activities. She’s business manager of Cellophane, and on the business staff of CUPOLA. Kitten is in possession of one of the more subtle wits on Upper Senior hall — her tales of Orange have kept us laughing all year. If you can ' t find Kitten after classes, and she’s not in the Rec Room playing bridge, you can bet that she’s in the Field House, on one of her ’ dieting sprees! I’m so glad you came to Mount Vernon this year, Kitten, but 1 have a question, Why didn ' t you come sooner?

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 . .

Yellow Team; Library Council III, President IV; CUPOLA 111, IV; Lend -a -Hand IV; Chapel Guild IV; Cellophane IV. 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

White Team; Athletic Association Representative I t II, 111. President IV; Sports Club !, IL III; Cellophane Sports Editor IV; Tennis varsity I, II, 111, IV; CUPOLA IV: Hockey varsity IL III, IV. Library Council IV. Louise Shindel Bertels Kingston, Pennsylvania Two years Loyalty is the holiest good in the human heart ' Tall, vivacious, good looking, with a long dark page boy, a smile, and a good word for everyone— that ' s our Weezte! If she ' s not playing on a varsity, or lead ' ing the Whites to victory, she will most likely be found listening to the latest Rock-and-Roll records, (or just possibly Joni James!). You can be almost sure she will be wearing Bermudas, sneakers, and that maroon crew -neck swearer — and talking about the Jag, of course. She is on a perpetual diet ( why. 111 never know), bur I ' ve often seen her burning the midnight oil hav- ing just a little snack. 1 Weezies wonderful personality, easy-going manner, and terrific school spirit have made her a great asset to Mount Vernon. Barbara Berry Washington, D.C Four years Win without boasting f lose without excuse, ' The door slams- — at can only mean that Barbara has arrived. Noisy and breezy, her gaiety and good -humor are infectious. B.B, charms everyone with her viva- cious manner and marvelous sense of humor. Her enormous blue eyes and perky, turned up nose make you smile, whether you want to or not. She takes an enormous amount of teasing with a good-natured ‘Oh, you -all! Barbara is practically a prodigy in athletics. Look under her picture, and you will find hockey and tennis varsi ties L IL III, IV; quite a record. Basketball also claims our gal. On the weekends, you will find her practicing diligently for her next golf tournament. Because of this interest in sports, she has been the A. A. representative from her form since freshman year. I don ' t think anyone had too much trouble de- ciding who would be nominated for A. A. president — B B. won, hands down.
