getty ffm: Dcmccm 78 Allendale Drive, Rye When you think of Betty Ann, you in- variably picture her with knitting needles in her hands, or perhaps you see her wear- ing one of those beautiful hand-made crea- tions for which she is famous. Dunc has even made use of this hobby in school life, for in her junior year she was in charge of the afghans which were made as a welfare project. Her Scotch heritage is something of which this girl is proudg she can often be heard defending this inheritance in her pleasant fashion. Recognized by her placid temperament and co-operative spirit, B.A. can be counted upon in any emergency. She can even be called upon for a ride in that black Buick in which she putt-putts up to school every morning! What the distant picture holds in store for Betty Ann is yet unknowng however it is possible that she may be gracing the campus of Wheaton college in the immediate future.

Her blue eyes are always shining, and her hair is brushed down pat. She can be found pre- siding over class-meetings with poise and self possession. Sally manages her responsi- 1 . b1l1t1es in school with leadership and trust- l ll' worthiness also demonstrating good sports- t manship on the athletic field. Not limited to an active life at R.C.D.S. alone, our pres- ident has traveled the country-side, taking . in many colleges Cmen's, of course? on her way In the future, whether we find Sal strumming her guitar, or attending Welles- ley or Smith, she's sure to look like a doll l stepping out of a band-box.

Senior, the magic word which entitles its bearer to many privileges and the respect of lower classmen, is about to be passed on to a new group of girls. In the following pages the Class of 1952 makes its last ofhcial appearance before going out into the world on its own. But though they may be dispersed in many sections of the country and in various fields of study, this versatile group of girls will always be remembered for their variety of achievements, and they, in turn, will remember with gratitude and pleasure their many enlightening and enjoyable experiences at Rye Country Day. In looking back over the years we recall several carefree Lower School students, who were very much intrigued by games with spears and jacks. Upon entering the Upper School these students of long standing were joined by new comrades and dis- covered that there were other things in addition to birthday parties and dancing school. Some were elected to the Student Council, others excelled in sports twinning the class cup twicej, while still others turned their talents toward enlarging the school news- paper and introducing solid geometry and reviving chemistry. Besides disproving the theory that the Christmas dance could not be held in the gym, and presenting a French play with strictly American accents, these girls instituted such memorable innovations as chocolate cakes at milk period, cars with personalities Ceveryone knows Henryj, and a school mascot, B.Gf' Last seen revelling in their lunch-line cuts, free study halls, and permissions to leave school early, the Class of '52 will never forget the warmth, spirit, and friendliness of their Alma Mater, Rye Country Day School. Here they are, recorded so that you too may remember them. Ia-'s ..:., 1, s , . ,LT i 1 1 4141:4anzlfraxasxsxxxssxsssxxssvs NXS.'sxs. ur,

Sue Park Drive South, Rye The answer to a teacher's prayer is a perfect description of Nancy, our straight A scholar. Besides possessing a great deal of intelligence and an organized, methodical mind, Nancy has proved her skill in com- position and management through her suc- cess as Editor of the Oak Leaves and Liter- ary Editor of the Echo , Far from being a one-sided person, this senior has a reputa- tion for exhibiting a great deal of charm and tact, she also has claim to the neatest hair in the class! Her friendly personality and pleasant disposition make her a girl worth knowing and have won her an un- disputed seat at every Yale football game. As the General leaves R.C.D.S. to study Home Economics at Connecticut College, we recall with pleasure her many accom- plishments, feeling positive that, as proved by her two letters in archery, she will con- tinue to hit the bull's-eye in everything she does. Somew 26:44 5 Forest Court, Larchmont Our Susie is one of those girls who can never keep still a minute. We may find her experimenting with a new recipe or keeping a watchful eye on her younger sister, these are only a few ways in which she manages to use up excess energy, bouncing around as she does. Sue always has a linger in the pie or a hand waving in the air, signifying that she has a question to ask or a comment to make. She gave vent to some of her extra drive at hockey camp last year. One result of this practice was that Sue was on the Stuyvesant hockey team in the fall. That she was Business Manager of the Rye Crop in her junior year and Business Man- ager of the Echo this year indicate that she might be mathematically inclined! Famous for her tomato cake and her ready smile, Sue fshe prefers this to Susanj will be remembered as a friendly, sincere, energetic girl.
