BARBARA ANN BEELAR Swanton, Maryland Three Years “S u? needs no eulogy; her character speaks for herself ” “Beep, beep!” “Watch out!” Here comes Barbara in the “ugily bugily” (her car) which is only one example of the many facets of her engaging per- sonality. She has the ability to do her part on the field, in the classroom, and in her work on this year- book. Whatever the future may be, Barb will meet it with a smile, enthusiasm, and plenty of friend- liness. Yellow Team; Cheerleader II.

Some may de- scribe her as having “personality plus” but Patti has more than that. She has humor, sincerity, and an overflowing friendliness. She always has a smile for everyone. It was inevitable that Patti should become Yellow team Captain for no one has more loyalty. Next year ' s classes, parties, and get- togethers will seem incomplete without Patti.

During her four years here at Mount Vernon she has demonstrated to all her school spirit and will- ingness to co-operate. With a natural aptitude for languages Pam has contributed much to her Spanish class and will certainly develop this interest further. In her quiet wav Pam has proven herself to be a loyal member of her class. White Team; Class Secretary I, II; Cellophane 111; Cupola III, IV; Glee Club I; Prep Piayers II; Social League IV. 29
