' Dedication We, the graduates of 1951, introduce with pride our Castellan advisor. Miss Mary Emma Boggan. Miss Boggan attended Delta State Teachers College, Cleveland, Mississippi, and obtained her Master ' s Degree at Columbia University where she is currently continuing graduate study in English. After Teaching English and Social Science at Aguella Consolidated School, Miss Boggan taught for one year at Delta State Teachers College. She came to St. Mary ' s in the fall of 1949. As head of the English department at St. Mary ' s her thorough knowledge of her subject, her outstanding ability as an instructor, and her qualities of enthusiasm, sympathetic understanding, and painstaking thoroughness have enabled us to realize, with enjoyment, high standards of achievement in this field. Miss Boggan has, with her inspiring example and unrelenting spirit, made King ' s Daughters a worthwhile organization. Through the journalism classes, some of her qualities manifested in editing the school paper are reflected in the staff. We earnestly express gratitude for her invaluable help and con- tributions towards this, our Castellan. 7- MAY RUSSELL, President A.B., Western Maryland College; M.A., Teachers College, Columbia University; L.L.D., Western Maryland College; Graduate Study: Johns Hopkins University University of Michigan Harvard University HELEN CUNLIFFE, Dean Psychology A.B., Bucknel University; M.A., Oberlin College; Graduate Study: Columbia University JUDITH BARNETT, Malhematics B.A., Westhomplon College, Uni- versity of Richmond: Graduate Study: University of Kentucky CLAIRE V.

Her strong sense of loyalty and cooperation has made her an outstanding member of the school. To the Seniors: The privilege of being a senior at St. Mary ' s has been a significant experience to me. I am confi- dent that this feeling is shared by my classmates. As we approach commencement, we are prepar- ing for this meaningful ceremony with all the enthusiasm and interest that has been character- istic of our class throughout the years. At S. M. S. we hove become aware of the fact that our experience here as citizens is a valuable preparation for the responsibilities of citizenship which we must ossume outside college life. The privilege of serving as president of the class of 1950-51 has been a most rewarding one for me. Thank you for the complete support that you gave to our class program. Your wholehearted partici- pation in our many activities made our year a great success. As individuals we will remember and cherish special moments in our life here. Thank you for the memories of St, Mary ' s. BARBARA ELAINE THOMPSON, Vice-President Barb Eat, drink, and be merry.

LEE BLANDFORD ADAMS, JR., Lee It is the best thing you can c o to bear patiently what you cannot amend, correct, or make better. Choir 3. (Two yea student) Lee, in addition to personality, has a great talent for music. To call himself a baritone would be a self-explanation as he has been classified by various musicians as a boss and tenor. The beauti- ful voice quality he possesses will not be furthered to a profession. The Air Corps has a greater fasci- nation. )0 JOYCE PROBER! BEDELL Joyc e Persevere and hold out.

She has done a tre- mendous job in the field of art. However, as an afterthought, Andy ' s major is home economics. She is a versatile girl, rounding out her life at St. Mary ' s by including athletics and music as her interests. Her work with the May Day dance pro- grams have been of an excellent caliber. One of her big contributions was the aid she gave in establishing the Honor System. ELIZABETH WORTHINGTON BRISCOE Br Woman is man ' s confusion. Chairman.

(Four year student) In 1947, St. Mary ' s acquired a green and mis- cfiievous Freshman which turned out to be Bob- bie Gray. However, in the June of 1951, St. Mary ' s will lose one of its leaders who has con- tributed much to school life, including the estab- lishment of on Honor System. This is the some Bobbie. She has been extremely active in extra- curricular activities, such as athletics, Student Council, and interschool functions. She majored in physical education. Her sense of humor and personality will linger in many Sem-Fem ' s mem- ories. MARY ANNE HARRYMAN ' ' Harry would rather be sic t than idle.

(Two year student) Towson made a contribution to St. Mary ' s Junior College in the form of Mary Anne. She was espe- cially welcomed in the athletic department.

A valuable class member and Sem-Fem, Mary Anne plans to further her studies to fulfill her dream of teaching phys ed.

Student Council 4, Vice President 4; Orientation Committee 4; Social Committee 4. Shan, an alumnae of years post, returned to S. M. S. to further her education. With her terrific personality and understanding, Shan has cer- tainly shown that she is a friend of all. Through her cooperation and willingness with council and vorious other activities, St. Mary ' s is losing a valuable asset. 16 BARBARA ANN LONG Long Full many a pupil has become more famous than his master. Somadra 3, 4; Assembly Committee 4; Home Ec. Club 3, 4; May Day 3; Honor Roll 3, 4. (Two year student) Barbara came to St. Mary ' s from Cumberland, Maryland.

St. Mary ' s claims Beverly as one of its outstanding leaders. She entered St. Mary ' s in the fall of 1948, and since then she has made numerous contribu- tions. Perhaps her crowning success is the job she has just completed — that of Student Council President. She exhibited a sincere and cooperative attitude while living- at S.M.S. which was responsi- sible in part for her success. OLIVIA KIMBERIY SIBLEY Sib We come, mischief, if Ihou comesi alone.

(Two year student) Sparks High School sent its wit and humor to St. Mary ' s in the form of Olive Sibley. Perhaps her nicknome should hove been Giggles instead of Sib. She corried a sense of joy wherever she went. Her greatest interest was in the physical education department, in which she majored. Her participation in varsity and class games was of great value to the team. She plans to continue her studies in September.

Club 4; Social Committee 4. (Four year student) Consistently on outstanding leader, Bert has been on invaluable asset to the class of 1951 and to St. Mary ' s. In the past four years, her personal con- tributions in sports, music, and citizenship have been particularly noteworthy. Bert has given gen- erously of time, effort, and most important of all, herself. Numberless school functions have been spurred on to successful completion by her un- wavering support. Liked and admired by all, she stands among those who make St. Mary ' s what it 21 Scored, green, and mischievous are among the many adjectives which can describe the Fresh- man doss of 1947. During those first few weeks we suddenly discovered that St. Mary ' s was quite different from previous schools; with the passing of each week, the true value of living in such on environment was realized. To start off on the right foot, we elected Betty Resh as class president. Class spirit was shown in all activities, especially when eleven girls, intro- duced to hockey for the first time, finished second in the school tournament. The only varsity Fresh- man was Bert Horsmon. With varsity basketball, Bert again represented her doss. In volleyboll season, she was joined by Bobbie Gray for the squad and by Amie Southall in softball season. Bobbie Gray was the onl y member of her class on A. A. Board. Bobbie was manager of modern dance for two consecutive years, carrying the May Day responsibilities. In May the Freshmen boasted one of the prettiest princesses on May Court — Olivene Taft. An exciting year ended; but summer passed quick- ly, finding us back at St. Mory ' s for our Sopho- more year. Olivene Taft was elected class presi- dent and did o tremendous job. In sports, the Sophs come out on top in the intramural tourna- ment, losing only one game. The hockey varsity again claimed Bert Horsmon plus Mary Lou Pinder. The volleyball team included four Freshmen and supplied Betsy Briscoe for the varsity coptain. Bert Horsmon joined the realm of those girls who have won their blazers in two years. Olivene Taft again represented us with her poise and beauty as the school representative to the Apple Blossom Festi- val. Our attractive May Court members were Betty Resh and Caroll Chandler. Then as June and grad- uation drew near, many happy memories were re- lived. For in the fall some members would pursue their studies elsewhere. Yet there were many who planned to return to St. Mary ' s. Thus in the foil of ' 49, there were forty-five mem- bers of the Junior class. We had the largest class and we kept on doing big things. We re-elected Olivene Taft as doss president, placed six of our classmates on the varsity hockey team, and sup- plied a coptoin, Mary Lou Pinder. For basketball, another captain stemmed from us. Bert Horsmon and seven other Juniors were on the varsity. Mary Ann Harryman, Mary Lou Pinder, and Bert were first string forwards and Marion Greenwell a first string guard. To repeat history, we again won the intramural tournament with no losses. Bobbie Gray and Mary Lou Pinder won their blazers and Bert Horsmon won the A. A. trophy for 900 points. Further achieving in athletics, we placed seven Juniors on the eight-man volleyball team. In soft- ball, we claimed six out of nine players. How- ever, sports wos only one stor in our crown. Bert Horsmon represented us as Yeorbook editor with Beverly Sewell assisting. These two girls were also delegotes to the National Student Association. At Hagerstown, Bobbie Gray was elected vice-presi- dent of the Moryland Association of Junior Col- leges. In May, we elected lovely Olivene Taft as our princess, for the third year, on the May Court. Thus the third year of study, work, and fun came to a close. We looked forward to the fall when we would ogoin return — but as Seniors. Joanne Courtney was elected to the class presidency. Beverly Sewell headed the Student Council with Shandren Moore as vice-president. Bert Horsmon was president of the Athletic Association assisted by Bobbie Gray as vice-president. Suzie Chambers was voted head of the French Club. Joan Maust was president of Somadra, capably assisted by Ann Blackwell. The Home Ec. Club claimed Betsy Briscoe os its president. Caroll Chandlar was editor of the newspaper, assisted by Joanne Courtney. Barbara Burkley wos assistont editor of the year- book. So it is obvious that we were o busy group of people. In athletics, we agoin took the honors. We supplied seven varsity hockey members and Joanne Courtney as captain; we also supplied six varsity basketball members and again Bert Horsmon as coptain. Betsy Briscoe and Mary Ann Harryman were our blazer girls. During this year we accomplished many things — many things for the benefit of our class and school. In December, Joanne Courtney was selected to be the spirit of Christmas. Then the year seemed to pass quickly over exams, dances, and frnally graduation. Here many friendships would be ceosed and certainly St. Mary ' s was the place to make true friends. Many of us will be out of the state whether to college or for other reasons; but in the end, happy memories will serve as a source of enjoyment and Alumnae weekend will find many bock at their Alma Mater. 22 djxi§:6 MluiuClTux) cix tU QAMe rStp I, Ann Blackwell, will my artistic talents, including singing, to some upcoming and promising junior, I also will my telephone conversations and week- end dates with Patuxent to Mary Anne Bloke.

And Carroll Chandler always seemed to wear them so well. Now she ' s a lifeguard at the Rilz in Ocean City. Looks like her friend, Olivene Taft, manages this hotel and has employed her to help. Probably helps business too, I ' d soy. . . . Oh, you want to see the sports section. Gee, that ump looks fa- miliar. Olive Sibley! She looks baffled. What does it soy? She has just remarked that she mode a bad decision and had no argument. Surprise! . . . What ' s this? All American hockey team! That ' s Mory Anne Horryman. Now! Some accomplish- ment. Think I ' ll turn back to the front page now. ' West Point accepts first Woman! ' Guess who that is. Bobbie Gray. . . . And it says that Joanne Courtney is employed here since Miss Chance is in the Wacs. Well, we knew that. Nothing new, nothing at all. . . . Suzie Chambers. Umm . . . Maternity Word. How con she do it? . . . Oh, an author was in our midst. That little Southern girl, Mary Lib Roseberry, wrote a book called How to Become a Yankee in Ten Easy lessons. The Burkley twins hove established on exclusive nurs- ery school. The one requirement is that all the 7 children must belong to alumnae. What a qualifi- cation for membership. I don ' t blame them. Only the best, I soy. . . . Oh, Borboro Long is doing her internship now to be a dietitian. Good deal —more food around. . . . Barb Thompson owns her own little place now. It ' s very Bohemian and she ' s left the originol name there— the Bayside. Joan Moust and Ann Blackwell are combining abilities for the production of Forever Amber.

It says here that Tommy Cook, Carl Merson, Lee Adams, and Frank Kauffmon are in charge of War Recreation due to their Seminary experience. Boy, I bet they ' re having a good time. . . . Let ' s see now. You know. Misty, 1 think that ' s all. That covers the whole class. It usually takes a class ten years to make some accomplishment but the Seniors of ' 51 did it in just one year. I guess we ' ve always expected great things of those people. Even when they were here they kept things going. Oh, well. We ' ll see them Alumnae weekend. Come on. Misty. It ' s time for our afternoon swim. 24 ! 25 CYNTHIA ANNE CARD, President Cyn Be wise worldly, bul not worldly wise.

' Ye , sir, tKot ' s the motio of the Clojs of ' 51. We hove been the wnallest class at S. M. S. for two yeors now but that mere detoil hosn i kepi us from being a cla with plenty of steam. We entered S. M. S. on even dozen of extremely scared fresh— ctl set to get going and prove ihot we hove what it takes. Our enthusiostic participa- tion in the trodiiionol tolent show gave the old girls on idea of the type of ability to expect from iheir new freshmen. We got busy ond elected our class officers: Becky McClymeni was our very able class president; Cyn Gard, vice-president; Morgie Wetherill, secretory; ond Bev Smith, treasurer. After Bev s departure Phylt took over the job of counting money. Fresh- man Council members were Joan and Phyll; when Phyll resigned. Cyn was elected to fill her posi- tion. The doss sponsor wos Miss Reinbold, who later became Mrs. Turnburke. The next activity which our doss undertook was their ottempi to form o hockey teom. Although battered and bruised we leorned that he object wos to hit a small, wooden ball, not the other playersi Then November orrived, with the inevitoble fall production. Cyn Gord, our most dramatically in- clined freshman, portroyed Mary in Jane Eyre. As port of the Christmos Banquet, the freshmen presented o skit called Sonlo Visits o Salesgirl. Jonuory found the freshmen returning to St. Mary ' s to face their first real exams. This marked the end of our first semester at S. M. S. and the beginning of another and belter one. At this point, we hod lost two of our originol classmates: Bev and Mary Louise. We were, though, fortunate tc hove two new additions to our class: Koren and Pot. We all pitched in and turned out a peppy basket- ball team. This team could be heard before we were seen, due to our quiet plaid uniforms. After o tough struggle, we f nolly took over the posi- tion of honor reserved for freshmen— last place. Our team captain wos Cookie, also our sole rep- resentative on varsity. When cheer leaders were elected, Jonie Williams was our indispensable contribution to this activity. Freshmen were oil eoger porliciponts in the first Annual Pageant presented by the Seminary. Each girl cooperoted ond corried out her port with true Sem-Fem spirit. Several of our clossmotes were now struck with spring-fever but that didn ' t homper our historic Softball team. The freshmen won second place in the softboll tournament. This season will be well- femembered because of Yo ' s strong orm tactics and the great sportsmanship exhibited by our class. Freshman varsity softboll members were Phyll Ames ond Joan Cook. May Day was the next student body activity in which the (rosh porticipoted. Many of our mem- bers were in the Slaughter and various other events of the day Our princess in the May Court wos Winnie Davis who upheld the reputation of on outstonding freshman class. Needless to say, we were all willing porticipants in the May prom, o donee thot the Sem-Fems will never forget. Class day impressed each and every freshmon, everything from tying doisies at doybreok to be- ing capped by an upper clossman. We frosh were an extremely sod crew on Graduotion day as con- trasted with the thrilling groduates of whom we were very proud. The realization that we would soon be in their position led us to look forward to our next yeor at S. M. S. The group of ex-freshmen who returned to S. M. S. offer on oil-too short summer were pleasantly surprised at finding some new members of the Sophomore Class. Mamie Goldsborough left her beloved Eastern Shore to join our class, Ann Lawrence also arrived to provide the sophs with o Southern belle. This September was the first yeor that new girls were initiated. We sophs thanked our lucky stors that someone hadn ' t dreamed that up during our freshmon year. Sev- erol of our former clossmotes were missing. After reminiscing about the good times we all had hod, we became serious just long enough to elect our new class officers. Cyn Gord was elected president; Karen Peterson, vice-president, Phyll Ames, secretory; and Margie Wetherill, treasurer. We selected our dean. Miss Cunliffe, as sopho- more class sponsor. Becky, Bo, ond Cyn repre- sented our class on Student Council, Sophomores were more than well-represented on A. A. Board: Margie, Bo, Becky, Joan, and Phyll were all mem- bers. Time to ploy hockey! I All the sophs considered themselves seasoned experts. To prove that we had become good sports, Petie, Mornie, Dolores, and Joon became varsity members. Sophomores limped away from their last gome, with second place to their credit and lots of spirit, still intact. American Primitive was Somadra ' s annual pro- duction. Ann was our contribution to this project. Next on the very busy colendar of a Sem-Fem was our sophomore class assembly, in which our class again demonstrated their initiative. The clos- ing lines of this program characterized the spirit of cooperation, typical of the sophomore class of ' 51. The senior-Sophomore bazaar was a huge success this yeor. Sophomore waitresses created quite stir with their uniforms— shorts, in the middle of winterl The sophs ' contribution to the Christmas Banquet this year was How Come Christmos? with all members of the class par- ticipating. Basketball season was now well under- way with the usual outstanding sophomore sup- port. Joan, Bo, and Phyll were members of our doss on the varsity. We ore looking forword to ihis spring: May Day, Pageant, and Class Day ore among the scheduled activities. But, more than these events we are anticipating thot momentous day in our lives- Graduation. Then we will be able to review the years spent at St. Mory ' s with pride in our doss and its accomplishments. There ' ll never be any more like us, so, Sopho- mores, hail to theel 32 Sophomore Will We, the Sophomore class of ' 51, being of unsound mind and body, de hereby leave this, our lost will and testament, to those who will succeed us as the Sophomores of ' 52. I, Phyllis Clare Ames, will to Jeanette Chase my love for a co-ed school, my knack for letter writing to Jo Ann Smith, and my privilege of being the only bass at S.M.S. to Carolyn Lewis. I, Joan Patricio Cook, will the traditional red bookcase to Jeanette Chase, to Barbara Lee Von Devanter my so-called athletic ability, and my love for the South to my little sis, Janie Clough. I, Cynthia Anne Gard, will complete rights to the Naval Academy to Cornelia Dixon, my skill in sports to my little sis, Peggy Childs, and a broom and mop to Ann Wenner. I, Margaret Owen Goldsborough, will my love for the Eastern Shore to my roommate, Mary Clare Turner, to Diana Lee Johnson, my Pogo comics, and my ability to lose and forget things to Ann Wenner. 1, Mildred Ann Lawrence, will my interest in Charlotte Holl to Diana Lee Johnson, to Shirley Ford, my hair dryer, and my Southern Maryland accent to Peggy Childs. I, Anne Maxwell, will to my little sis, Diana Lee Johnson, my ability to moke peanut butter sandwiches after lights-out, and to Miss Richelderfer my Teddy bear, in hopes that he will keep her warmer on cold nights than he did me, and my ability to bid on a single- ton when playing Bridge to Ruth Butcher. I, Rebecca Anne McClyment, will to Carol Ridgewoy my faithfulness to one man, and my love for the good part of Maryland (and Chestertown) to Ann Wenner, and tak- ing a Chance— my interest in Dodge cars to Jo Ann Smith. I, Karen Edyth Peterson, will a ticket to Norfolk to Cornelia Dixon, my little sis, the day hops to any lucky Sem-Fem who chances to hook them; and to Carol Ridgeway, I will my neat room. I, Margaret Clark Wetherill, will to Carol Ridgeway that good ole party spirit, my natural curly hair to my little sis, Carolyn Lewis, and to Jan Chose, my knowledge of a certain Washington family. I, Dolores Moude Willoughby, will my love for French to Peggy Childs, to Shirley Ford, my love for hill-billy music; and to Bobby Lee VonDevonter, I leave my report card. I, Dorothy Avis Yeomans, will to Barbara Lee VonDevonter, my ability to get into mis- chief, my one and only wave to Cornelia Dixon, and to my little sis, Mary Louise Warden, my shoes with the character. 9l ' ' it 1961 Sophomore Prophecy 0 1961 St. Mary ' s Seminary Junior College has really progressed in the ten years since our graduation in June, )951. Just in case you hoven ' t heard, it is now a four-year college and co-edocation, no less! As we stroll about the grounds and hallowed halls, old memories flash across our minds. Here ' s a class in the Science Department of the classroom building. Just look at all the new equip- ment! Our former class president, Cynthia Gard, would go wild in a place like this. Oh, hove you heard the latest news of Cyn? After leaving S.M.S she took in some college life at Bryn Mawr and from there went into nurse ' s training at Johns Hopkins. She ' s now the Superintendent of Nurses there. The Old Music Hall is rather out of dote by now. Remember those wonderful Artist and Lecture pro- grams? Let me see — who was that cute usher? Oh yes, it wos Karen Peterson. She was married several years after graduation and is now kept busy raising her family of four boys. In her spare time she is the musical advisor for the Youth Rec- reation Center near her home. Phyllis Ames, our other big family woman, is kept pretty busy these days. After returning from her tour of Europe, she married and moved to Mis- sissippi. When not coaching her many boys on the art of football, she is their private tutor in bass singing. In her extra moments, she is very active in the community social welfare work. Our old Social Chairman of A. A. Board, Marga- ret Wetherill, is still very familiar to the students of S.M.C. She is now the chairman of the Washing- ton Chapter of the Alumni. After graduating from the University of Miami, she returned to D.C. and now leads Washington society. That ' s Margie— constant partying. Let ' s drop in the rec room for a few minutes and ploy a hand of bridge. All we need now is Anne Maxwell. Which reminds me — she has come up quite a bit in the world. After grasping an educa- tion, she went to work for Hutzler ' s in Baltimore where she is now Assistant Buyer. Bo also had quite a few paintings in the latest amateur exhibit at Walter ' s Art Gallery. Another artistic member of our class, Ann Law- rence, has put on o one-man exhibit at the Nation- al Art Gallery in Washington. She is now the lat- lest rage alonq the Eastern C oast for her torch ' singing After finishing on engagement at the Copacabana in Miami, she came home for a resi to Southern Maryland and dropped in to see her Alma Mater. The new library is the tenth largest in the country. The librarian looks familiar. Why it ' s Margaret Goldsboroughl We always knew she would hove o career in connection with literature. Marnie tells us that she has been librarian for three years, and in her quiet moments has been working on a novel of her own. Yes, authoress Goldsborough, we know it will be a success. While strolling through the library, we happened to glance at the newspaper. The former Rebecca McClyment and her charming husband, the Seno- tor from Maryland, were on the front page. The Senator is now campaigning for his re-election in the fall. We understand Becky has helped her husband o great deal by her early political ex- periences as a Senator ' s secretary. Walking down the corridor of the women ' s dor- mitory, we decide to stop in for a moment to see the office personel. Delores Willoughbyl After getting her R.N., she went into the Naval Nurse Corps as o lieutenant. Since her discharge, she just couldn ' t keep away from the Seminary and hod to come bock to fill Miss Chance ' s place after the latter ' s recent retirement. As we walk through the dorm, something seems strange. There is a different air obout the place. Then we remember — Dorothy Yoemons. Our old New Yorker, Yo, seems to hove livened up her home state a bit. Several years ago, she married a fellow New Yorker, and since then they hove started their own TV network. Yo ' s pet program is called The Busy Artist Hour in which she gives lessons from coast to coast. It ' s getting rather late and time to leave, but be- fore saying farewell let ' s take a last look at the new snack bar for the students. I understond that today Joan Cook is in this territory. Cookie, after doing extensive work in physical education and obtaining a math degree, is now the Finance Manager of a series of chain stores. This job re- quires her to commute between cities on the At- lantic Coast. Thus, we bring to a close this extensive visit to our dear old Alma Moter. Reluctantly we leave S.M.C. carrying with us memories of our Almo Mater and old schoolmates. j lit Under 9r 5 Qtes % W- m Juniors JuniorClass History Four years ago, our Junior doss was unofficially begun. It was in September, 1947 that Charlotte Stanton entered St. Mary ' s as the only sub-Fresh- man. In February, 1948, Charlotte wos joined by Alice Thompson, and in September, 1948, by the official Freshman class. Joan Michael was elected President of the class for the first semester with Charlotte Stanton taking over in February. Alice Thompson was Secretory, Locy Rees, Treasurer, and Gail Teese and Betty Turner were Historians. Betty Turner and Lacy Rees were the Freshmen council members. The Freshmen were represented by four young actresses in Somadro ' s 1948 foil production, Lad- ies in Retirement. For our May Court we elected a proise-worthy princess, Catherine Cooksey. In September, 1949, we were joined by four new girls. We elected Betty Turner, President; Alice Thompson, Vice-President; Chorlotte Stanton, Sec- retory; and Georgia Bennett, Treasurer, as our class officers. Betty Turner, Charlotte Stanton, and Anne Tilgh- mon were the council members from the Sopho- more class. Talent from our class wos again displayed in our fall production, Jane Eyre, with Georgia Ben- nett playing Mrs. Fairfax and Betsy Wetherill as stage manager. In the pageant in the spring every member of our class participated. Last year we were well represented on the May Court by Babbie Gelston and Jimmie Ruton. Graduation day arrived at last and all members of the Sophomore doss graduated with flying colors. This year only three members of our old class returned: Georgia Bennett, Anne Tilghmari, and Alice Thompson. Under the leadership of our cap- able class president, Anne Tilghmon, the Junior class took port in the various octivities at S.M.S. with confidence end success. Our other doss officers are: Barbara Bolond, Vice-President; Peg- gy Dinkle, Secretory; and Mary Ann Blake, Treas- urer. LEfT TO RIGHT.

Our class started out this year with nineteen girls and two boys — later losing Dottie Morgan and Pot Pfoutz. Kitty Hoen was the only Junior clossman on the varsity hockey team ond Noncy Clapp, the only Junior cheerleader. In the fall production, American Primitive, two Juniors had leading ports— Peggy Dinkle played Kotherine Hopkins, and Lorry Browne ployed Dere Hopkins. Charles Donoldson ployed Milch, and Georgia Bennett was stage manager. A Junior, Anne Tilghmon, olso hod the lead speaking port in the Christmas pageant. Our Christmas skit, Why the Chimes Rang ' was very successful with every member in the Junior class taking port. We are all now looking forward to graduation week when we will be capped by the Seniors and will be able to return next fall os Seniors. 36 Freshmen Class History The freshmen came — wide eyed and curious. For most of us, boarding school was a new expe- rience, but soon we were made to feel at home by the friendly Sem-Fems. During the first week, we participated in a talent show given to the old students. The campus was now our stamping ground, its leaders our buddies. One of our first projects was to elect class of- ficers. The results were — Jan Chase, President; Gail Bowen, Vice-President; Mickey Warden, Sec- retory; and Diana Lee Johnson, Treasurer. Miss Richelderfer was chosen for our class sponsor. We were well represented in dramatics. In the fall production, The American Primitive, Peggy Childs, Ann Wenner, Gail Bowen, and Mickey Warden, displayed their talents. At the traditional Christmas banquet, the freshmen came through with top honors in the presentation of Trudy Visits Toyland. There was a freshman for every sport. Mickey fa- vored in the fall sports, hockey varsity, while Mary Clare Turner, Carolyn Lewis, and Bobbie Van Devanter looked toward winter and basket- ball. Jo Smith was the official time-keeper. Class spirit also ran high. Diana Lee, hockey captain, and Mary Clare, basketball captain, gave us our pep talks. Although not victorious in all gomes, we put up a good fight. Who had the steam? Why, the cheerleaders, of course. Those from our class were Janle Clough, Diana Lee Johnson, and Jon Chose. Following the first semester we lost three valuable classmates, our two council members, Jonie and Mickey, and Vice-President, Gail. We gained, though, a cute redhead, Ruth Butcher. A new Secretary and Vice-President wer e elected. Cor- nelia Dixon and Bobbie Van Devanter ably filled their new positions. Looking back on our freshman year, we were proud of what lies behind, and confident of what awaits us.
