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. Yellow; Cum Laude, Cupola IV; Lend-a-Hand III; Library Council IV; Social League IV. nancy alice bridge Chevy Chase, Maryland Four Years “So who wants to die laughing?” Never still, always bubbling with energy, Nancy can be seen dancing around before class, teasing someone or making faces in her seat. 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.

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.

Despite the mischief in her eye. “Byrd” is a true friend. On campus if you can’t find her in the field house, she is on the phone. Off campus she is generally at U. Va.. Virginia Beach, or down in the “Tombs.” Always “everybody’s sister,” there is never a dull moment with Bev around. White; Chapel Guild I; Cupola III, IV; Lend-a-Hand II.

Winder, and Thcrapads, or illiter- ates from Athens. All these things compose a girl re- spected and considered a friend by all.

Three Years fy life is like a stroll upon the beach Vicki lives in a world of levi’s, long dark hair, and “Motown.” Sarcastic, yet optimistic, she combines a caustic wit with a general love for life — life outside of school, that is. Her distinctions this year were varied, ranging from being the first to hit a car in the parking lot. to developing spring fever in January, to being the last to hand in a French paper. “I betcha fifty cents that the Senators win this weekend: I betcha twelve soul songs on the jukebox that you got a higher grade on that Latin test!” Vicki lives in a world of levi’s, long dark hair, and “Motown.” ellou; Optima IV: Carousel, Assistant Editor III.
