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

White Team; Lend-a-HanJ President IV, Prep Players 111, IV; Cellophane III; Chapel Guild IV. 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.

Frances Foss Caracas, Venezuela Two years From a little spark may hurst a mighty flame.” When Francie walks into a room, the first thing you notice about her is her angelic smile and there you sense the feeling of peace and contentment which surrounds her. But don ' t be misled — the twinkle in her eye belies her quiet look. She is full of fun and laugh cer, and a deep desire to live each minute to the very fullest. Three words sum it up pretty well, 1 think — sincerity, friendliness, and understanding. No wonder she was elected to the Chapel Guild Presi- dency — she’s got what it takes! Looking for Francie? She may be under a heap of mail, studying hard for a chemistry test, or down in the Field House laughing and talking to all her friends. Thank goodness Francie plans to go to college here in the states — wed miss her too much all the way down in Venezuela.

Marjorie Diane Genge Huntington, West Virginia Two years ' Her ways are true and loyal. 1 always see her ambling down the walk to sports or trudging up the hill after her nightly visit to the Field House with a sack full of midnight snacks. After all, she needs energy to keep up with all her activities. Diane is what anyone would consider an athlete. Hockey, basketball, and tennis varsities claim a good share of her time. You can always spot Diane a mile away because of the many varsity letters on her blazer. Because of her unfailing conscientiousness and abundance of school spirit, Diane claims a place on all of the Citizenship Honor Rolls. If all seniors were Dianes,’ ' they’d never have to worry about flag honor.
