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.

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. Yellow Team, Hockey IV, Tennis III; Carousel IV; Cupola IV; Glee Club III; Social League President IV. EDITH DRAPER BLAIR Washington, D. C. 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.

SANDRA KAY CATSMAN Golden Beach, Florida Four Years Fame is the thirst of youth ' A pert blond ponytail, blue eyes, and a lilting voice combined seem to match the charm that is Mickey ' s. This diminutive Mount Veronite seems to have more than her share of admirers, since she is one of the luckier boarders who is rarely here Saturday nights. There are several aspects to her vivacious and happy-go-lucky nature, which is usually character- ized by her humming and singing. In fact, you can always tell that Mickey is coming around the corner, for her singing precedes her. She has a serious interest in singing, and takes voice lessons. Whenever there is a concert given, Mickey is in there giving us examples of what she has learned under Madame Brodenova ' s instruction. By the same token, Mickey contributes to the Modern Dance recitals, showing that dancing is another one of her fortes. With these two talents, success is indicated for Mickey in the theatrical world.

One Year With magic of motion and sunshine of glance . In just one short year Dian has made a place for herself here at Mount Vernon. You can ' t miss this blonde from Wyoming with her sparkling eyes and cheery disposition. If you are looking for Dian, most likely you will find her collecting her many letters or talking to numerous admirers on the telephone or just taking it easy by Susie ' s record player. Dian ' s favorite pastime is dancing, which she hopes to make into a career. She furthers this ambition by being an active participant in the modern dance class here at school. Whenever Mrs. Rosen gives a program you can be sure Dian will have a leading role. Dian ' s gracious nature, coupled with her determina- tion, will certainly be two great assets in becoming a successful dancer. We here at Mount Vernon feel sure that not too far in the future we v ill have no trouble finding Dian ' s name along Broadway. Yellow Team; House Council IV; Lend-a-Hand IV; Prep Players IV.
