Well, she's been here for four years as an able and eager St. Anne's-er. She has really shone in various fields--dramatics, Service Coun- cil, Altar Guild, Captain of the White Team her Senior year, and, for lo! these many years, has kept accounts straight for her class. What a treasure-r! In her junior year she was in the May Courtfthat was for being her friendly, generous, appreciative self l Who will forget that infectious laughg that adoration of any and all animals: those tales of Sebascog those continuous contests fas she says, I'm on the sucker list for all those contests, and all who have been hounded agree!Jg those mad moments when she either recites poetry or bursts dramatically into Gilbert and Sullivan, trying to sing all the parts at oneeg or her innocent, Now, I'm not that dumb. You all just think I don't know anythingll' Remember the roars of laughter as she's caught on to somebody's best joke about five minutes too late? Or the Go'an, Aggie, go'an, and Professor, I'm gonna sing about my behbyln echoing down the hall?

She has certainly been active in school events and all that, but her personality, coupled with those dimples, has really given Betsy her fixed place. Would it seem at all unusual if we suddenly heard echoing down the hall, Oh, come on and tell me, you all l Or maybe even, But, Elise, he couldrft have said that! Yes, Betsy means a lot of things: She's height that welve envied often enough, she's a stately model in the Fashion Showg she's short, gently curling hair, and she's' sparkling eyes that have the habit of wandering quite a bit. Above all, she's charm plus and a deep Southern accent that will always be nothing short of perfect to everyone who knows this laughing Southern belle. 'l12l

Sponsor stENtoRs, sENtoRiE,s 'ITHIN the much-debated ast, during twelve ears, tour ears. three years, and even one P t Y Y . year, there has been at St. Anne's a rather noticeable group of girls who are now the Seniors. I have watched these girls progress from their Freshman attitude to the famed Sophomoric attitude and. from this, to the calmer junior attitude until at last they became . . . Seniors. I have sat, or lain, as the case may be, quietly by during these years as Miss Cochran or lviiss Dresser continually strived to impress upon them the old maxim, United we stand, divided we fall, but there were times when it seemed it would never take effect. YVhy, as I remember, they often got completely mixed up. They woke up at light bell and went to sleep at rising bell: and the noise they made! 'J But, as I said at the beginning, that's all in the past. In fact, now they not only stand united, but Qsometimesl quietly. I'll even go so far as to say that mqvbr Miss Cochran's inevitable has really happened, but let me stop and tell you about each one as I remember her. llll

That the little girl who became a noted model in the Fashion Show and the pride of the French class is graduating? In fact, her math grades have also shown that she knows whereof she speaks, even if it does get a little scrambled at times! And then, who hasnit been in the Senior Home Room before Chapel in the morning, or heard echoing down the hall, Did I tell you who called?,' or, Well, you all, guess what he said last nightgjust guess! But if you're around when she's studying, it's liable to be, O Dorrie, help me! I can't get it.', With Dorrie, Merrill, Flip, and Poochie perched on desks and gabbing on though, who can study long? Certainly not Elsie, and her wide- eyed gullibility and Casual giggle soon show her curiosity. And before you know it, she's nearly Inonopolized the con- versation in her eagerness to impart everything she knows to everyone present. But whether the topic of conversation is the Dramatics Club or the U. Va., it's hound to be of interest, and it's bound to concern Elsie. I Rv i ' .
