Willie McElroy Gough Helena, Montana One year Still waters run deep Have you ever seen Willie in a bad mood? 1 don ' t think I ever have. Her smile is just like candlelight — it makes the whole room and everything in it glow. If you want to find Willie, try the Field House. There she is, tackling pie a la mode and following it up with a chocolate milkshake. She does this every afternoon, but somehow those extra calories never seem to catch up with her. On Tuesdays the Field House has to get along without its favorite patron, because Willie is working hard with Prep Players, She has shown her talent for acting character parts this year. Willie has made an outstanding record in every way at M,V,S. this year. She made exceptionally good grades, pre- sented a book report for the Book Fair assembly, and was a grear asset to school life. Willie, why must you go to college out West? We want you here! Alice Armistead Gibson Richmond, Virginia Two years f ' Tbe truly generous are the truly wise A This seems to be a sportsy group, for here is still another athletic girl. Hockey and basketball, the big twosome, seem to take up all of Alice ' s Monday, Wednesday and Friday afternoons. And at any White Team pep rally or game, I can always spot Alice, cheering or playing harder than anyone else in sight. Prep Players is another of Alice ' s favorite activities. This year she has taken on several character pans and has done an exceptionally good job. Always an active participant in class activities, Alice is ready and will- ing to lend a helping hand to the latest project, whether it be decorating for a dance, selling raffle tickets, or working behind a table at a bake sale. I ll always remember Alice as being enthusiastic, sincere, and conscientious in all she did. Yellow Team; Prep Players IV; Chapel Guild IV; Library Council IV; Lend-a-Hand IV; House Council IV. 25

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. White Team; Chapel Guild III, President IV; Lcnd-a-Hand Ml, IV; Glee Club III, IV; Prep Players III. 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.

Yellow Team; CUPOLA III, IV; Cellophane IV; Library Council IV. Margaret Smith Gwathmey Washington, DC. Three years ' V! mind to conceive, a heart to resolve, and a hand to execute.” Margaret is another of our all-round girls. Not only is she athletic, but she is also a good student. Her name appears at the top of almost every honor roll, and her vocabulary surpasses anything I ' ve heard in a long time! Always a conscientious and diligent worker and avid reader, Margaret has proved to be a great asset to the Library Council in her three years here. I saw Margaret go out for hockey for the first time this year, and she managed to capture the greatly coveted center-half position. She did a good job, too! She also has an active and exciting social life. Margaret, with her rare combination of abilities, has left an indelible picture in our memories of Mount Vernon. Leslie Beale Gray Washington, D.C Two years 77 not listen to reason . . Reason always means what someone else has to say A cloud of dust, a squeal of brakes — Leslie has arrived for Chapel — as usual, by the skin of her teeth. She grins cheerfully, bounces up the steps, and calls out a hearty hi, curie as she slips into line. Leslie is what 1 would call a study in contrasts. She is gay, blithe, almost devil-may-care. Then bring out the latest issue of Carousel and read her contributions. Tears seem to come, don ' t they? Need a date? In the mood for a party? Leslie’s the girl to see. She always has good ideas, as well as plenty of pep and energy to carry them through. She has added a spirit of fun and an extra measure of vitality to the day -students in her two years at M.V.S, It will be hard for anyone to fill her place.
