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.

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

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.

PATRICIA ANNE BLACKBURN Bethesda, Maryland Two Years She is a iorm of life and light Have you ever wondered what goes into the success of a Social League Dance? The answer is simple: it ' s Patties ingenuity and hard work. When the time comes for the dance to begin, she starts it off in the right spirit with her ice-breaking chatter. Her warm personality and sincere interest in her schoolmates has made her well known and well liked around the campus. Pattie takes an active part in sports, hockey in particular. She is on both the Yellow hockey team and the school ' s Junior Varsity team. With all these activities, one would think Pattie to be very busy almost all of the time, but she will be re- membered after she has left Mount Vernon as a girl who is quick with a smile and never too busy for a friendly “hi for everyone.

Two and one half Years Power dwells with cheerfulness Edie came to Mount Vernon in the middle of her sophomore year, and immediately fitted into school life in general. Shortly after her arrival she was chosen as a White Team member. Since then she has shown great enthusiasm for her team and for the school. Never does a game go by that Edie is not putting her whole heart behind it. Whether it be for the Whites or for Mount Vernon Varsity, her ardor is outdone by none. Edie joined the Mount Vernon Glee Club and re- mained a member through her Junior year. As a Senior she decided to join the Cupola Business Staff for which she did countless errands. She became a member of Lend-a-Hand. For the last two years, Edie has worked diligently on Library Council.
