Edith Nash Davis Morristown, Tennessee One year Dost dream of things beyond the moony One day this fall, a new senior arrived at Mount Vernon The first thing I noticed about her was her bouncing enthusiasm for everything and everyone, A little later in the year. Edit was letting off excess energy as a White team cheerleader, and studying dance at the Washington School of Ballet. Edie un- doubtedly is the best dancer on campus. Not only is she a dancer, but she always seems to capeure a star- ring role in Prep Players productions. If you have a problem, Edie is the girl to see. She has a deep understanding of people which is reflected in her sincere outlook on life. MACS. woaT be the same without you next year, Edie You have added more to our spirit than you will ever knowc Daryl Roseanna Curtis Do u g l Aston , Long Island, New York T wo years The way to be happy is to make others so ' ' When the class of 58 gives one of their fashion shows, there is no question about who the senior model will be. Daryl always wins hands down, for she has charm, elegance and the ability to wear clothes well. Under her leadership, Lend-a-Hand lias had a very successful year. Daryl is just naturally kind-hearted, generous, and interested in people, so she is perfect for the job. Is Daryl in the dorm on a weekend? Don ' t be silly! With her good looks and sparkling personality, she is never dateless. The first thing I noticed about Daryl when she came to M.V.S. was her lovely smile. In the two years that she has been here, her smile has brightened many an unhappy moment, and her cheerful disposition lias made everyone her friend.

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

Joanna Webb Evins Smithville, Tennessee Four years Do hold things in a quiet way.” First of all, let ' s be informal and call her JcT — everybody does. Jo is a kind of Miss M.V.S. She ' s what every girl dreams of being — pretty, popular (with absolutely everyone); smart (she ' s Optima president); active in CUPOLA, student government and class activities; and athletic. If anything spectacular happens at Mount Vernon, you can be sure that Joanna is behind it. She was the originator of most of the ideas for the Junior-Senior Banquet last year, and one of the pioneers in the establishment of the Honor Code. I have often seen Jo working away and have re- marked to myself that she has never received all the credit and gratitude due her. Joanna, Mount Vernon will never be able to thank you enough for what you have done. Yellow Team; Hockey varsity 111, IV; Cellophane ill IV; Carousel IV; Library Council IV; CUPOLA.

Barbara Jean Fleming Sandy Spring, Maryland Two years Take up your pen , then f and write” Some people carve their niche in the hall of fame with a sword others with a sculptor ' s chisel. Barb did it the hard way, chipping away, bit by bit, with a pen point. Her hard terse, tremendously effective style has left more than one of us completely breath- less. Need a decent plot? Having trouble with dia- logue (her specialty)? Then find Barb. Look in the library, where she ' s working madly to get her home- work done so she w on t have to take any books home, or the basement of Acheson, where she’s washing her face. Whether she is studying her Latin or has soap in her eyes, she ' ll come up w ith just the answer you are looking for She came up with the answer CUPOLA w r as looking for when she became its literary editor. Even on those awful Monday mornings, her studied, cynical wit has jarred us out of our doldrums. When she leaves, ye’ Olde Daye Studente Loekerroome will be strangely quiet . . , 23
