Caroline Wilcox Brower Washington, D.C Three years ft A soft answer turneth away wrath A Annapolis, Wesr Point, Yale (in that order) on three consecutive weekends! Three lucky girls? No, just one. People seem to like that little gal, boys in- cluded. The quality of her school work also is superior, and if you look real close, you can see that little Optima pin decorating her blazer. Capable, that ' s a good word for her. Everything she does, she does to the best of her ability. When she was a Junior, she took over Cupola ' s account books. I saw them in June, after everything was all over and you could get a clear picture. They were perfection. Every single penny w r as clearly accounted for. Hockey, tennis, basketball- — she ' s nor just good, she s the best. ' Oh, I can drive ' ' , is her good-natured comment, when the dire need for transportation is expressed. That’s Caroline — good-natured, good worker, good friend. Yellow Team; CUPOLA IV.

Nan Elizabeth Burke Washington, D.C. One year r ' Then give the world the best you have , and the best will come back to you ' Nan is new this year, isn’t she? I can never remem- ber— it seems as if she has been here for ages. Her California charm and subtle sense of humor are so wonderful that she has fitted in with no trouble at all. When you first talk to her, she seems quiet and dignified, but watch out — pretty soon her sparkling repartees and general bounce convey a feeling of happiness to everyone. If you wander into a classroom where Nan and her friends are taking a test, you will notice one striking thing: she ' s not chewing her fingernails, tearing her hair, or twisting her class ring. She ' s going about it calmly, without any fuss or bother, and she gets top grades too. No wonder California is so proud of its female citi- zens — if they are all like Nan! 20

Carol Ann Best Washington, D.C. Four years f ' A constant friend is a thing rare and hard to find. Carol just bubbles all over when she ' s happy, and she ' s happy most of the rime. Nu one could help lov- ing Carol, she has so much love to give. When you need to talk, she s there to listen. And you know she ' s interested. And when she needs to talk, you want to be there to help — because you care. Very much a part of Mount Vernon, she headed Social League this year. With many laughs, much hard work, and tact and maturity, all Carol, she suc- ceeded, with dances that left many memories. She has a laugh with a little bounce to it, excitement that can not keep still, eyes that grin, hospitality un- limited, informal parties, dates and drtes and more dates — our Valentine Queen, Carol, White Team; CUPOLA II, IV; Cellophane Editor III; Class Secretary 11; Leach a -Hand III, IV; Chapel Guild IV; Cheer- leader IL 1 ) L Captain IV; House Council 11, HI, President IV.

' Weyull, it wuz lyke thiyuss,’ and Jane is off on another tall tale, told Southern style, with all the trimmings. Her Carolina drawl and fascinating laugh have kept us in hysterics ever since she arrived. Jane is a combination of efficiency, energy, and enthusiasm. In her Junior year she was the Editor of Cellophane t and this year she has done an extraordinarily good job as President of Somers House. What makes Jane outstanding is the rare combination of diligence and gaiety of spirit. Who else could do as much as Jane has done, and still find time for nightly bridge games, pizza at G usd ' s, and riotous weekends in Greensboro? Yes, that ' s our Jane, and I can guarantee that it will be a long time before anyone can begin to fill her place. Well, it was like this. 19

Yellow Team; Prep Players III, President IV; Glee Club III; Lend-a-Hand III, IV; Cellophane III. Sally Ann Cooke Charleston, West Virginia Three years One night, as old St. Peter slept , He left the door of Heaven ajar , When through, a little angel crept. And came down with a falling star. I never really believed that the best things came in small packages until 1 met Sally Cooke. All wrapped up in one little bundle are enthusiasm, a joyful out- look on life, and the ability to live each day to the fullest. Because of her bounce and spirit Sally is always in demand, whether ir is doing one of her famous yellow team cheers or busily supporting a class or school activity. If I am looking for Sally, 1 can usually find her in the center of a gay and laughing group of girls contributing her own brand of wit to the merriment or recalling that last ' fantastic week- end at U. Va. Mount Vernon will be so lonely next year without you, Sally. Well miss your fun-loving West Vir- ginia charm! Elisabeth Kingsbury Calderon Ridgefield, Connecticut Two years When my cue comes, call me, and l will answer Every Tuesday afternoon I see Liz running down to the gym for the weekly Prep Players rehearsal. It seems chat the minute she sets foot in the gym she has the whole meeting organized and underway. With her constant interest and ability, Liz has contributed to the success of Prep Players. In spite of her concentration on dramatics this year, Liz has also found time to express her sincere interest in her friends, make good grades, and also have fun. When I first $aw r Liz, 1 was impressed with her sophisticated and cosmopolitan looks, but I soon realized that a deep and true interest in people was the basis of Liz s character. No wonder she is treasured as a wonderful friend. Yellow Team; Cheerleader II, 111, IV; Lend-a-Hand III, IV; Chape J Guild IV; Cellophane 111, IV; Glee Club II, III, IV. 21
