GAIL LOUISE COAKLEY Washington, D. C. Three Years Laugh and the world laughs with you. This bright-eyed brunette can always be heard say- ing “Hi ya! or “Momin! . In her spare time she can always be found writing letters, chattering on the phone or spending weekends at Annapolis. She is an active member of Prep Players and Lend- a-Hand where she is always willing to help out. No matter how tough the going is, Gail always has a friendly, warm smile for everyone. She shows much school spirit either playing basketball or just cheering the Yellows on. Gail heads the lunch line even though at the begin- ning of each week she says she is on a diet. I know that next year everyone will miss her for she has added much to the school and also to our class.

If you hear the joyous echoes of merriment and laughter somewhere on the campus, you can make a safe bet that “Dody is right there in the middle of all the fun. The marvelous gift of a fun-loving and gra- cious nature are indeed wonderful virtues, and Dody is the full master of them. Like most of us, Dody has a very serious side to her personality. Her sincere desire to help other people is perhaps one of the most important facets of Dody ' s life and everyone at Mount Vernon is well aware of this. Often we see her putting one of her many talents to use for our sake. Lend-a-Hand has certainly felt the impact of Dody ' s hard work. Cupola, too, would have had a hard time if Dody had not taken charge of all the candid pictures that were for sale. But the members of Cupola and Lend-a-Hand are not the only ones who will miss her when she graduates. Yellow Team; Chapel Guild IV; Cupola IV; Glee Club III; Lend-a-Hand III, VI.

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.

SUSIE HARWOOD CORDON Chapel Hill, North Carolina Two Years She walks in beauty like the night. When you see a tall, attractive girl with a smile for everyone, you know it must be Susie Cordon. Not only do her interests show forth in Modern Dance class, where she is an enthusiastic member, but she also does exceptionally good work as President of Prep Players. Prep Players has been Susie ' s interest for the past two years. Her skill before the spotlight became evident last year when she played Mary Belle in Southern Exposure. From her comical role in that play to the serious part in Star Song ' this year ' s Christmas play, Susie ' s mastery of each part shows both a deep interest and understanding of every char- acter she portrays. Do not think that Susie ' s interests lie only in the theatrical world, for she also shines in the academic world, as she is a member of Optima and her name comes up on the Honor Rolls like clockwork. Pretty, talented, and intelligent; that ' s a combination that ' s hard to beat, but then — Susie ' s hard to beat.

MARGARET McDOWELL DICKSON Washington, D. C. Three Years Manner , not gold , is a womans best adornment As one of the most willing and helpful girls on the Mount Vernon Seminary campus, Peggy is noted for her friendly smile and cheerful disposition.

With her cheerfulness, Peggy spreads an aura of pleasant gaity wherever she goes. She is characterized also by her tidiness and by her meticulous manner. This year as president of the Library Council, Peggy has spent many hours in the library cataloguing books and filing data.
