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. Through the enthusiasm which is synonymous with her nature, and through her eager effort to be helpful, Edith has gained the friendship of all her classmates. White Team; Cupola IV; Glee Club II.

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

NANCY SUZANNE BOURGERIE Washington, D. C. Two Years ‘7 count life just a stuff to try the soul of strength on. After having spent several years in Mexico, Nancy came to us last year as a boarder. No doubt her traveling experience has contributed to both her humorous and serious outlook on life. Her laugh is infectious when relating an amusing anecdote, and her insight is amazing; we profit from both equally. As secretary of our senior class, Nancy is usually found in a corner at class meetings, quietly taking the minutes. This ability to concentrate in all places at all times (even in noisy class meetings), might be a con- tributing factor to her membership in Optima. Of course we know that it takes more than concentration to belong to Optima, but we certainly agree that Nancy, has that more. Whatever the future may be, Nancy will meet it with a wide smile and plenty of determination. White Team; Optima IV, Class Secretary IV; Prep Players IV. Cupola III. CAROLE LOUISE BROOKS Austin, Texas Two Years Love is the beginning , the middle , and the end of everything Texas? Oh yes — now we remember. That is where Carole Brooks, one of our ' ‘Southern cause supporters, is from. She is very proud of being a Texan, and we enjoy listening to her enthusiastic descriptions of Texas. One can usually find Carole chatting away in the phone booth or in the Field House eating and talking about that diet she is going to start tomorrow, never today. From the moment she finishes breakfast, for she never talks before, until after lights ' bell at night, Carole is full of fun and laughs, and has a rare ability to make the gloomiest outlook seem a little better. We won ' t soon forget Carole and her friendly ways, and, thanks to her stage-pushing ability, we ' ll never forget her beloved Lone Star State.
