regan anne tully alford Bethesda, Maryland Three Years ‘77 be as merry as a pie.” Although Regan pretends to be hurt when teased about her height, she actually enjoys the attention. Everything in Regans world is “lunchy” and “flashed upon ’ and everyone in it is a “pie” or a “potato.” Since she always has something to say, Regan often uncon- sciously gives her teachers competition in class. Boiling with excitement and enthusiasm, she rarely stops gig- gling, but, once settled down, “Rege” is an ardent, com- petent leader, as shown by her effective presidency of Social League.

If you have a problem and can’t find her, she is either at “the Tombs,” Washington and Lee, or in New York modeling. And on campus, she is usually sprawled across her bed munching fruit chewies. “Bets” has a mind of her own which is reflected in her up-to-date dress and her strong opinions in class.

Four Years Inner sunshine warms not only the heart of the owner , but all who come in contact with it” Mayfair is a breath of fresh air in the senior class. Whenever she breezes into a room, an inevitable half- grin is implanted on her face, and cheerful remarks naturally pour out. Not only does “Maypole” breeze into a room, but she breezes up the hockey field, down the basketball court, and around the baseball diamond. But “May can be quiet also. She is quiet in her sym- pathy for others and their problems, and she is quiet in her studiousness. It is through “May’s” actions that we remember her best.

mary adelaide evins Smithville, Tennessee Four Years “Thanks because I still can see the bloom on the white magnolia tree. Four years ago, a dark-headed lass from the now- famous, but, at one time, obscure place of Smithville, Tennessee, found herself in a funny little girls’ boarding school which soon found her. As class president, you would find “Mare” up at dawn scribbling away at new ideas for the class projects. Today as head of the student body, there are no crack-of-dawn preparations, but only scurrying from the dean ' s office to the president’s; there are benevolent speeches from the pulpit. Most characteristic of “Adelaide” are her day dreams of “Watcha’-callit?” down in Tennessee, her room, a little on the messy side and her chip-toothed grin.

That ' s what you are — belligerent!” Per- haps if you don ' t really know Cinny you think that. Our senior class president, Cinny, has no qualms about stating her opinions or asking a question, and she will always stand out in a crowd and in the usual disorder of class meetings. Whether roaring down the Commons on a pair of roller skates or scrambling for her suitcase to Mexico and now Italy, she creates a state of perpetual chaos. If you ever want to find her, go down to that little Mexican restaurant. “Yup” — underneath the stacks of hot tamales, enchiladas, and cigarette fumes — that ' s our Cinny!

A down-to-earth, practical girl, Sheri may still be ruffled by everyday problems, but she is never overcome by them. Driving before she was sixteen? Sheri? Never! But one can get a license in Virginia at fifteen, remember? We know that Duke University will appreciate Sheri’s many qualities.

carol sue birch Wheaton, Maryland Two Years . . Still achieving , still pursuing, Learn to labor and to wait ” Carol s warm personality is soon evident despite a shy and quiet manner. Whether studying her French in the library or running to her dance class, she is a person known by all to be quietly, yet fervently, inter- ested in all that happens around her. Quick wit, clever sarcasm, and an original philosophy make her an at- tractive member of any unintimidated group.

Her effervescence is put to use as a cheerleading captain since her screaming and cheering for the Yellows cannot be missed. Though not noticeable at first, “Nance” has a mind of her own which is illustrated by her untypical outfits, her unex- pected remarks, and a personality uninfluenced by other people. Nancy may not be sympathetic but she’ll always listen.

Captain IV. dorothy myers brownell Kensington, Maryland Four Years “Summer Afternoon — the two most beautiful words ” On the surface, Dorothy is a carefree individual, yet at heart, she is an unmistakable realist. “Dorfs” is an outspoken defender of the principles of Landon and the merits of South Bethany. Her favorite past-times are strumming her guitar, playing pool, or drinking coke after coke. Dorothy ' s effervescent spirit is best displayed in her ability to lead the Yellow Team. « Yellow; Captain IV; Class Vice-President I; Activities Council IV; Mount Vernon Singers IV; Sports Club I.
