CARROLL JEAN GATLIFF Williamsburg, Kentucky Two Years Imagination rules the world. Here we have the gay and sincere Southern belle who all during this year has arranged our Chapel services. As President of the Chapel Guild, Carroll has put her whole-hearted effort and deep devotion into her chapel work. We appreciate this sincere in- terest that is expressed in so many ways. Our blonde Kentuckian can usually be found float- ing in a lucious bubble bath or munching that choco- late ice-cream while wondering just exactly what Miss Fulton will have on the next Chemistry test! Carroll is notorious for her zany actions in the dorms. Snow ice-cream, little red wagon, short wave radio, and the inevitable crate of oranges in her closet are but a few of the things we associate with Carroll. Her loving ways will certainly be long remembered at Mount Vernon as the prime example of a genuine heart. White Team, Chapel Guild III, Chairman IV, Cupola IV; Lend-a- Hand III, IV; Glee Club III. GRACE SARAH GEARHART Waverly, Pennsylvania Two Years Always a gay word; enthusiastic and invigorating. Behind all the games and other athletic events at Mount Vernon there is careful organization. This is the result of Sally ' s enthusiastic efforts as A. A. Presi- dent. Appropriately awarded the cup for the most individual points last year, she has put her con- scientious ability into this year ' s job. As promoter of team spirit, Sal ' s exuberance is infectious. In all phases of school life Sally retains the same bubbling enthusiasm. Gifted with a wonderful sense of humor, she can enliven any group by her good humor. This helps make her a valued friend to every- one, especially in those solemn ‘ after-a-test moments. Sally is always there, helping when you need her, and supporting the team and the school, too, when they need her most. White Team, A. A President IV; A A Representative III- Base- ball III.

JANE FANCHER EVINS Smithville, Tennessee Four Years A winning personality touched with humor, capable ol laughter, yet firm and decided. You all it really isn ' t hard to get into Optima — no one would hazard such a statement but Jane- President of Optima. One of the South ' s greatest supporters, her crusade is to make us believe that they do wear shoes in Tennessee. Jane does more than prove that, for the four years that she has been here she has been outstanding. As President of our class in both her Freshman and Sophomore years, Jane managed to guide us through various class projects. This sincere interest in ad- hering to the cause is expressed in many ways. Jane ' s determination is unmatched; when you ask for help your job is as good as done. At lunch time, you will probably find her hidden behind the latest copy of The Smithville Review. With Jane ' s strong support the South will rise again.

LUZ FRE1RE Lima, Peru Four Years The monuments ol wit survive the monuments of power. Our green-eyed Peruvian has made a name for herself during the four years that she has been at Mount Vernon. Her cosmopolitan background and intellectual pursuits contribute to make Lucy an in- valuable ally in an argument. In these discussions, it is safer to agree with her rather than to place your- self in a perilous position, for her logic cannot be disputed. Of course Luz is not entirely one-sided, as those who have attended her after-lunch cha-cha-cha sessions can testify. The plaster beneath the English classroom may have suffered, but her enthusiastic pupils now know something of Latin American dances. In future years when Luz ' s dramatic ambitions have been realized, we can say that we knew her, and heard her famous speech — The Horthe, by Perthy Griffith.

JANIS BARTLETT HARDIN Jacksonville, Florida One and one half Years For gowns , and gloves , and caps , and tippers Are beauty ' s sauces , spice, and sippets. After mid-year break last year, Florida presented a gift to M. V. S. in the form of Janis. Within a week ' s time no one could have guessed that she was not an old girl. This petite brunette is the vice-president of Prep Players. Examples of her work can be seen in the costumes for each of the plays. Perhaps this is a reflection of lanis ' interest in the designing of clothes. In her spare time, Janis is either deciding on a dress or a pair of shoes she really needs or writing letters to her multitude of friends. Physical education classes are spent trying to dc what Mrs. Rosen teaches in modern dance. Even with her busy schedule, Janis always has time for her friends. Florida ' s loss was certainly Mount Vernon ' s gain. White Team; Prep Players III, Vice-President IV. SUZY CAROL HEYN Westport, Connecticut Two Years She smiled and the shadows departed. Suzie ' s gay blue eyes and smiling face are certainly indicative of her personality, for she is indeed one of the gayest, most light-hearted people here at Mount Vernon. Suzie ' s pleasant manner has rendered more happiness to others than she will ever know. As a loyal White and an active member of the A. A. Board, Suzie has done so much to boost team and school spirit. “Heyness plays a wicked game of hockey and a top-notch game of basketball, both of which have been a great help to the Whites. If you are looking for Heyness just direct yourself to the loudest source of Rock ' n Roll or where the most people are laughing and chattering and you are sure to find Suzie. Where she goes people will always be attracted to Suzie ' s magnetic personality, for there is only one Heyness.
