SENIORS Jlflaria 'Dresa Sanchez Teddy HAVANA, CUBA '47 - '51 A mass of energy governed by an unpredictable mind, no one-least of all, Teddy herself-ever really knows whether she's coming or going. At 9:15 she starts down the hall determined to get cokes for herself and thirsty roommates, room-bell finds her no further than the next suite-oblivious of time, drinks, or Pat's threats of what will happen if she returns empty-handed. But you know Teddy, Miss Cochran. This forgetfulness isn't always present, as her work on the Annual staff and Grapevine proves. She is not only Secretary of the Glee Club, but Treasurer and V.-P. also. In athletics she is a shining light. For three years she has been a late but important member of both varsities Ceven making All-West as an inner, when she played wingl, was Secretary of the A. A. as a Sophomore and Captain of the White Team in '51, She was a Freshman representative in the May Court, and proved she could still look beautiful in the Fashion Show and in Williams' Show, too. Her far-reaching laugh and often almost naive behavior lay her 'open to many teasers, whom she quiets with, I'm not going to pay any attention to you-you're laughing at me! Both American and Cuban expletives and a stamp of her foot announce anything from intense disgust to her latest brain storm. This is the girl who re- peatedly said from September to june, I'm being more dignified this year. Whether she succeeded or not is a debatable question, but one thing is certain: St. Anne's will miss Teddy, and vice versa. Ella Gordon Smith Goobie GREENWOOD, VIRGINIA '45 - '51 A blue Ford convertible glides around the circle, and under competent, if sometimes uncertain, hands coasts to its habitual spot in the parking lot. Watch! Its owner is alighting, and if you were here this year, Miss Cochran, in a minute you would see one of the fashion plates of the class of '51. But you'd see more than that: You'd see a smooth coifffure which even the most scatter-brained driving can't ruffle. You'd see calm blue eyes, behind which is poorly disguised a quiet humor. If you stayed long enough, you might get a taste of it. Aw, you all! - and, in accom- paniment to the soft voice, one exquisite eyebrow would raise. You'd see a figure long envied even before the Fash- ion Show, when the public was shown St. Anne's at its best. She did so well in her first modeling job that she was asked to be a model at the Greenwood Fashion Show. Who knows, some day she may adorn the cover of Vogue! You'd meet one whose voice has graced the soprano section of the Glee Club for four of the years she has spent within these walls. You would see one whose arrival is often distinguished by the shouts of the boarders to whom she is bringing nourish- ment. This she does very willingly, having past memories of hungry afternoons and nights during her one and a half years as a boarder. You'd see, in short, a girl who is the paragon of fashion, poise and beauty-Goobie Smith. -f20

Her blue eyes get a mean sparkle when she is in the midst of planning some deviltry. She loves horses and is never happier than when on one, looking quite trim and making the spectators think that she and the horse-D are one. Heaven knows, she makes the judges think so, too, for we've never seen a girl win as many ribbons and silver dishes. This does not mean, however, that she lives and' breathes only on the four-legged animals. Another of her pet crazes is knitting. She turns out about half a dozen!! argyle socks a day, with a couple of ties if she has a spare most athletic. In addition to basketball, she plays hockey, and the team doesnit know what it would do without herb She dotes on car-racingg or is it the drivers? Oh, yes !-and. she also loves to take pictures, you know, those little candid shots at the most unexpected momentsfthc kind weid all like to forget! It gets to be quite a collection when she adds them up through the years, especially when shc's been here for seven of them! In spite of the brief sojourn in the day department, hers has been the longest stay as a boarder, and it's no wonder that the tiny girl with the tiny waist and U X moment or two. To put it short: Pat without her knitting, V l lS like a fish without a tail. And there's still more: She isx . , E Y. I I !'!. S 6 feet seems almost to be a fixture here. Iwi 7 'WC f V ZJ 9.

'48 - '51 SENIORS , , Joyce tMei-Sbiu 'Deng Joyce NEW YORK, NEW YORK '48 - '51 Knit two, purl two . . . Joyce is again at her knitting, which includes anything from socks to sweaters. It's surprising how much she can get done in the short extra time she has, for this girl has little free time. First, she is the proud possessor of a brain, a very scarce commodity in general and something that is much in demand. She not only gets up at anywhere from 3:00 to 6:00 a.m. to do her own home- work, but all during study hall itis, Joyce, this Chemistry problem . . . or, joyce, I can't get the Spanish . . . Once a month, though, it's her time to go around to people, and the happy eiipresdon with which she counts up the money owed the Senior Class is terrifying to behold. Money was the by-word of the Senior Treasurer this year! All winter her afternoons were claimed by varsity basketball. She's got quite a sense of humor. Whenever something strikes her funny, everyone nearby knows it, and it takes very little to send her into gales of laughter. Her one great trouble is a susceptibility to teasing, of which she receives double doses. She never resorts to swearing, though, but passes everything off with, Oh, Twiddlebombln of which the exact meaning is unknown to everyone but her. Chinese lessons, movie magazines, and quiet competence are among some of the other things for which she will be remembered by all of us who have known, admired, and loved Joyce Tseng. Sylvia jane Sturku' Sylvia , Silwa CHARLOTTESVILLE, VIRGINIA Short in stature and strictly on the fun side, Sylvia has proved that being one of the last day students to enter the class isn't any handicap. Two and a half years isn't so long, no matter what the Sophomores may think, but this girl's absolutely unpredictable remarks, uttered in an unmistak- able Lynchburg accent, have made her an important part of the school. Her work as Subscription Mana er of the Grapevine this year added a lot to the paper, whge her ex- cellent modeling technique was important in the Fashion Show. She's known for such remarks as, Cheer, cheer, cheer for Colgate toothpaste! and B-B-B-B-B-But! fol- lowed by her opinion of the problem on hand. Last year she taxied Madame Perrenoud to and from school, and you could usually tell in French class what her driving had been like. This year she lives nearer to school, within walking distance, in fact. During her years here she's come to know the boarders so well that she even spends the night here once in a while and knows what it's like to be a boarder. Sylvia is not a bookworm, far from it, but that doesn't mean that she makes poor grades. She'll make a 98 on a test, making her teacher very happy until she innocently asks what chapter the test was on because she hadn't read it yet. Innocent looks, class witticisms, and a love of fun made Sylvia one of the outstanding girls of nineteen-fifty-one's class. ' 211
