Voted the Class Coquette
The sensation of the stag line, Sarah ("Miss Heartbreaker") dresses to please the lads; here, in a flirtatious little bib-front fashion of challis like blue and white check fabric. Betsy Daniels for Shepardess.
Named Our Star Reporters
Known affectionately as The Nose-for-News, Marian recognizes a fashion scoop in her brilliant chrome- yellow dress of twill-weave fabric, with this year's dropped waist and pleated skirt. R.A.R. Moppets.

Beneath the coat, Jetta wears pacesetting separates - a smart pleated skirt in plaid wool and an off-white ribbed sweater with a high neck. Girltown.
Crowned Poetess Laureate
Romantic and moody, Eileen loves nostalgic costumes, deep, dark colors. Here, she daydreams in a dress of wineberry-red plaid cotton, pleated from collar to hem. Suzanne Godart for Youngland.
Picked Sportswoman of the Year
A spirited competitor, Joan loves a winning combination, even in color. For example, her bright navy coat, cut like a long pea jacket and brilliantly accented in fashionable chrome yellow. Macwil.

Called Most Talented Actress
Maureen, destined to be seen on the wide screen, chooses a perfect ingenue's costume, a navy-and white-check dress with a short-cropped wineberry corduroy jacket. Suzanne Godart for Youngland.
Dubbed Miss Intellect
Kerrie Ann, of the astronomical IQ, presents a brilliant study in green. Her bright Orlon-and-wool jersey has a backing for extra weight, is prolifically accordion-pleated. Peri Wolftnan for Suzy Brooks.
Selected Shyest Girl in Class
Laurie poses reluctantly in a quiet little dress of a wool-like fabric in palest dove gray, with precise navy piping and red-button trim, a small white collar. Robert Love for Joseph Love.
