Karla Ann Hennings Washington, D.C One year tr Sofily speak and sweetly smile T And now there’s Karla. When Sidwell Friends let this perky blond ' escape, we clapped our hands with glee. For Karla, popularity has been as much a part of her life as eating and sleeping {her two favorite pas- times), Who else can exist on milkshakes and French fries, and still keep that beautiful slim figure? Fd be surprised if there was even one person who had ever seen our gal with a frown on her face. She ' s just naturally good-natured, even after a big test, or an unsuccessful attempt to whip up a pie. If you have ever been around Karla for more than thirty seconds, you ' ve heard that Hennings’ laugh. It’s famous as far South as Virginia and as far West as Missouri. It will echo merrily through our halls for long after she ' s gone.

Martha Garner Holt Greensboro, North Carolina Three years Thou art the star for which all evening waits 1 remember Marry best of all down on the hockey held doing Heidi, heidi, ho for the first time. You wouldn ' t think such a delicate looking little thing could get up so much steam! But, she can, and her enthusiasm is nothing less than contagious — soon everyone is joining in. This enthusiasm isn’t limited to the hockey field, either — ft seems to extend over everything she does, whether its collecting White team dues, eating, or working for Glee Club. Marty is bubbling over with personality, and you can count on that mischievous little twinkle in her eye to liven up the dullest day, or the most gloomy mood. Its no wonder that Little Mart” will be missed so much next year. 27

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.

Patricia King Washington, D.C. One year f, The sweet expression of that face , forever changing, yet the same. A gentle laugh and an uproarious pun more often than not describe our one-year “steal from Western High School. That sense of humor overcame her initial shyness in a big hurry, and ever since she has kept us smiling. Patsy started right off enthusiastically helping wherever she could. She has made more than one suc- cessful poster and has offered some really good quotes for Cupola, She enjoys helping out so much that, somehow, you can hardly believe she really is working. Sweet, and as much fun as that sparkle in her eyes, an easy to-listen-to voice, always neat, and truly pretty. Patsy is one of the very nicest people 1 know. ' 4 Yellow Team; Cupola IV. Katherine Wallace Law Cranford, New Jersey One year ”0n with the dance ” Kathy s just been here a year, but she has made a place for herself, not only as a senior class member but as an irreplaceable contributor to the school spirit She immediately became a White Team cheerleader, and earned a leading part in the Christmas Play. I know Kathy loves dances ,too, because practically every Saturday night I see her all dressed up, ready to go. Hailing from the North, she has many tales ro tell of skiing at Stowe, and wonderful parties at Bay Head. Kathy is never at a loss for words, and although she insists she’s quiet, her vivaciousness belies the fact. Kathy is known, and will be remembered, for her sparkling smile, and effervescent personality. W hite Team; White Team Cheerleader IV; Prep Players IV. 28
