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

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

Harriet Torrey Matheson Ferry Point, Virginia Four years She puts trouble in bottom of the trunk , then sits on the lid and smiles ’ Because she is cheerful and always smiling, Torrey is one of the girls on whom you can constantly depend to add a spark to even the dullest day. 1 have noticed that Torrey has always maintained a sunny atmosphere around here, making those in her pres- ence look at the bright side of life along with her. Her sincerity and unselfishness are extended to even the most casual acquaintance, and through four years at Mount Vernon, Torrey has been known as the cute little redhead whom everyone respected and adored, I don ' t believe I ' ll ever forget Torrey. Her own special brand of graciousness, tact, sincerity, and hap- piness has rubbed oft just a little bit on everyone who has known her. 29 Jessica VanMeter LeBus Cynthiana, Kentucky Two years A face with gladness overspread. Jess is well-known for her Kentucky accent and those ever- lovin ' rebel ways. She has a keen sense of humor, and when you’re feeling low, no one else can cheer you up quite as fast as she can. Crew meek sweaters, plaid shirts and belts, and collegiate Ber- mudas are a must in her wardrobe. Isn’t my hair long?” is typically Jess. I see her every afternoon down in the Field House, buying that daily chocolate ice cream cone, and I can almost guarantee that if she’s not there, shell be up in Somers, writing letters to her many admirers. Anytime, anywhere, Jess is ready for a good time, and you can be sure she ll have it! 1 know she ' ll be as well liked everywhere she goes as she is here at M.V.S. She just has that ’certain something!” W White Team; Social League 111, IV; Cellophane II. Ill; Lend- a -Hand IV; Hockey varsity II, HI, IV; CUPOLA L IV; House Council IL IV; Chapel Guild IV,
