ELIZABETH MARGARET ANDREAE Port Huron, Michigan Two Years A blend of mirth and sadness , smiles and tears What school has the best football team in the United States? Ask Betsy and she ' ll tell you, It ' s the Uni- versity of Michigan.” Yes, Betsy ' s from Michigan; Port Huron to be exact. She ' s proud of it, too. Pepsi bottles anyone? Give ' em to Bets, ' cause she sure needs ' em bad. Most of the time Betsy is very shy and reserved, but when you get to know her it ' s a different story. She ' s full of energy and laughs. If there are any problems you need help with, come to Betsy because she ' s always ready to help anyone she can. She ' s the type of person that anyone can trust and depend on for anything. Betsy is a truly wonderful girl and has made a very good Secretary of Lend-a-Hand this year. Upper Senior will be awfully quiet next year without her squeaky tennis shoes and rattling Pepsi bottles.

MARTHA PRUDDEN BANISTER Madison, Connecticut Three Years Silence is deep as eternity, speech is shallov as time Bright and early every morning a whispy black- haired senior walks out to the mailbox carrying several ten-page letters with commemorative stamps on the envelope . If you ask Prue where she is going she will turn bright red and her eyes will light up with a mis- chievous spark. She will then mention something about correspondence with a service academy. Prue disappears every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday afternoon and she can be found in the modern dance studio, where she is busy creating her own dance interpretations to music and rhythm. In the eve- nings after study hall, Prue faithfully does many dance exercises As Prue expects to become a nurse she enjoys her first period chemistry class very much, and takes a special delight in preparing various experiments in the laboratory. No doubt her numerous activities are time-consum- ing, but Prue always has an enthusiastic smile and a sparkle in her eyes with which she greets everyone.

PHEBE ANNE SHERMAN Greenfield, Massachusetts Two Years A for love , or the World Well Lost. ' Do you need any help? seem to be Phebe ' s standard words. As President of the Senior Class, she says them with spirit and enthusiasm when we are tackling a class project. As one friend to another, Phebe says them with deep sincerity and concern when confronted by someone ' s problems. Phebe spends a great deal of her time working out the detailed arrangements of class projects. Her straight-from-the-heart smile and gleefully twinkling eyes are indicative of great enthusiasm, which is trans- ferred from herself to all matters pertaining to the class. This spirit seems to extend into other fields as well, for Phebe is an avid participant in sports. At graduation we shall be sorry to say goodbye to the girl who has led us through our exciting and unforget- table Senior Year. White Team, Class President IV, Basketball III, Hockey IV; Softball IV; Cupola IV, House Council Secretary III, Lend-a- Hand III, IV, Prep Players III For three years, Mount Vernon has been graced by the leadership of this pert young lady from Virginia. Each year she has held a class office, and this year she has led Mt. Vernon to new heights as our Student Body President. Berk ' s interests vary. She is as much at home show- ing one of her horses as she is presiding over a Student Body Assembly. Among her other accomplish- ments are varsity hockey and a wonderful talent for art. As a career, Berkeley has chosen medicine, and hopes someday to become a surgeon. Her outstanding qualities — steadfastness, generosity and helpfulness — have endeared her to the hearts of all Mt. Vernon girls, leaving behind her a memory not soon to be forgotten.

VICTORIA HART BATEMAN Barrington, Illinois Four Years Music is well said to be the speech ol angels No one here at Mount Vernon will dispute the fact that Vicki Bateman has one of the most beautiful voices on campus. Many mornings in Chapel Vicki has given a beautiful solo rendition of a religious song or hymn. At Christmas time Vicki did magnificent work in the role of David, the star of the Glee Club Show. Vicki ' s voice has brought more joy to others than she will ever know. If you happen to want to find someone with whom you can have a philosophical discussion just make your way to Vicki ' s room on lower Senior for she is always willing. There is a lighter side to Vicki ' s nature with which all of us are affectionately familiar. The attractive, gracious young girl known as Vicks will long be remembered by all of us who have known her here. White Team; Chapel Guild Representative IV; Glee Club I, II. Ill, Treasurer IV; House Council II, III, Lend-a-Hand I, II, III, IV, Library Council I, II MARY BARBARA BERNARD Bethesda, Maryland Four Years Kindness is wisdom ' Wherever you find busy people working on class projects, you are sure to find Mary. She is always there to lend a helping hand and each time she does her usual good job on everything she undertakes. When someone is needed to head a committee, Mary is thought of first. Her sense of responsibility as well as her capability make her one of the most reliable girls on campus. The library is one of the places where you are most likely to find her studying and helping others. Her sense of humor certainly does cheer us up when we aren ' t feeling up to par. She always has a smile for everyone she sees, everywhere she goes. Yellow Team; Chapel Guild Representative II, IV; Lend-a-Hand IV: Library Council I, II. Ill, IV; Prep Players I, II, III, IV. 19
