'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

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

SENIORS in Bell? Sarah vlgues Vest Sazshy CHARLOTTESVILLE, VIRGINIA ,46 - '51 Does that girl ever take anything seriously? We doubt it! But how many of our classes have seemed shorter because of her endless wit, and how much of our free time has been more fun because of her wonderful sense of humor! No one can be upset for long around Sazshy, for her easy-going nature calms even her excitable younger sister, or inter- venes for her. There was a time when Cathy stood in a rather shaky position in your favor, Miss Cochran, and Sazshy came to the rescue. Nothing ever bothers Sazshy, unless she loses her temper-and then, brother! just get out of the way. A long-standing member of the Dramatics Club, who played Mrs. Gardiner in Pride and Prejudice her junior year, Sazshy brings zest and energy into just about everything she does. despite an occasionally languid air. Her work in the Fashion Show made Williams choose her as a model. Shels an ace chauffeur, and many a slowly starving boarder has welcomed the sight of Sazshy's green Chevvy flying around the circle. Leave it to Sazshy to have upto-date slang and the latest by-word. ':Girlie, it's grizzly, I mean! you'l1 no doubt be told if you get into a conversation with her. When she was picked as one of the D. A. R. Fashion Show models, her comment was typical: Ig my face red ! For years Sazshy has made those around her at S. A. S. love her. We wish it could be many more. nodal! t-4-cgso. 111:-.-in 52 DW' Q1 img- fnom QW g . 1.1 A - A-PL ir l ,Qfyld :'pa5fY1?, ,- , ,M 1 ,jeg 1, Z. was g - LN Q9-Q sniffer-'ifs aka.-N4 JI ,L,t,1..t,1.,L,.t..-ef'..- , LA!! v . 43-mm' TYJQ-.

Some- times she's on time for chapel, sometimes she isn't, but no matter when she arrives, you know she's going to be smiling and raring to go. During those years, Andy has really been busy. Taking care of the class funds in her Sophomore year was her particular headache, but they really made money! Then she was a very competent class Secretary as a Senior, even when those class meetings got confusing and feeling ran high, she kept the notes straight. The Glee Club has been her main extra-curricular activity and she has greatly added to the second soprano and alto sections. Her good work on the Annual staff wouldnlt be forgotten either, for she certainly could get those ads! Might be that those good looks, unbelievable complexion and wonderful disposition have something to do with it. They've won over many a person before. Everyone who knows her will admit that she is really a beauty, as the Fashion Show proved. Not only does she have a figure and looks but that certain something that makes clothes look like a million. A little on the silent side perhaps, but cute, and when you get to know Andy, you'll never forget her. l22l'
