A note from the Editor: Today is my birthday. Today is also the day my class and I say goodbye to AP ALAPP, Derby Days, General Tso?s chicken, ?Day by Day? and so much more. Today is the bittersweet day that I get to announce Tatler?s senior print edition, the Class of 2023?s Senior Legacies. In making this print, a question I constantly asked the senior class and teachers was: ?What is our legacy?? In ?Hamilton,?

Lin-Manuel Miranda wrote, ?Legacy. What is a legacy? It?s planting seeds in a garden that you never get to see.? I disagree with this, though, because our legacy lives in the pews of the chapel, in the classrooms and in the coming years as we go forth with joy. For those of us who were here across the street, our legacy lives in the fairy houses and playing Camp A on the playground, and in our meetings with teachers for being too loud as we went from the classroom to the art room. Our legacy lives in the battle of Land Between the Lakes, in four square, in the inner beauty of Jane Eyre, in our Ancient History graphic organizers and in our Ensemble class dances. It lives in the cookie dough and the canola oil, in being sent home because of the pandemic freshman year and coming back, ready to take on the Bielskis, Lyon and Dunlap trio. It lives in our junior year Derby Day cheer, our iconic GroupMe conversations, the senior den graffiti wall and our bedbug couches. We have been planting seeds for the last 15 years, and the garden has grown beautifully.

I asked the senior class in a form to provide me with small phrases that reminded them of our grade, and two of the most common responses were along the lines of ?unexpectedly stellar? and ?resilient.?

Time and time again, we have shown the world what the Class of 2023 is capable of, and we will continue to do so in the coming years. While I tried to fit as much of our legacy into this print as possible, there is so much more to this class than can be put on paper. Afterall, we are the best you?ll ever see.

In the words of Taylor Alison Swift, ?Long live all the mountains we moved. I had the time of my life fighting dragons with you.? May we continue to fight dragons together, even if at a distance, and may our legacy continue to live on past the halls of the school and into our prospective universities, careers and lives.

I was honored to create this print, but more importantly, I?m glad I got to spend my last birthday at St. Mary?s with my favorite egg yolks.

Live, love, Tatler, Cam Hart

This is a really cool market in Jerusalem called the shuk, established in early 1900s. There are lots of vegetable, fruit and dessert vendors, as well as restaurants and cool shops.

While hiking from the Sea of Galilee to the Mediterranean Sea, we saw a herd of cows on our second day of traveling.

We traveled a total of 25 miles over four days!

For my second semester of sophomore year, I participated in a study abroad program in Israel called Tichon Ramah Yerushalayim (TRY). Unfortunately, we began with two months of virtual school because the Israeli borders were closed due to COVID. Eventually, we made it to Israel and began two weeks of quarantine (bidud in Hebrew). Thankfully, we all tested negative and began our two months in Israel. We spent Sundays, Mondays, half-days on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and half-days on Fridays participating in school. The other half of Tuesdays and all of Thursdays we spent touring Israel.

From walking around the Old City of Jerusalem to hiking to waterfalls to swimming in the beaches of Tel Aviv and the Dead

For my second semester of junior year, I attended a semester abroad program that was a part of my reform union (Union of Reform Judaism), called Heller High. I had known about this program since I was a little girl as they would come to my camp to promote it, but each year, I dismissed it until the summer of 2021. While I have gone to SMS my whole life, participating in this co-ed environment in a different country was a big step out of my comfort zone. We lived on a kibbutz, a small neighborhood with all the essential amenities such as a doctor and grocery store, just outside Jerusalem.

We slept in a hotel on the kibbutz with three-to-four roommates. We walked to classrooms seven minutes away four to five days a week from 8 a.m.-7 p.m.. We spent our days either

Sea to attending basketball games and going on runs like a local, we discovered central Israel. Hiking by foot or through water and seeing ancient ruins, we toured northern Israel. Across southern Israel and the desert (Negev in Hebrew), we rode camels, snorkeled around coral reefs, jumped down sand dunes and visited an off-grid village. After spending time in the bomb shelter, we learned about the ongoing conf licts and the different perspectives and cultures within the Middle East. As a group of 41 teens from all across North America, we made up for lost time in quarantine and truly left with countless, amazing experiences.

in the classrooms, participating and leading in services, or exploring and connecting Israel to our education.

Our Jewish History and Hebrew classes enriched us in the culture and gave us the tools to understand the trips (tiyuls in Hebrew) that we went on. We spent many meaningful holidays in the country, such as Passover, Yom Ha?atzmaut and Yom Hashoah. We got to understand how they are celebrated and the importance of them in Israel. My favorite memory would have to be hiking 30 miles from the Sea of Galilee to the Mediterranean Sea. Through rain, cow poop and a blazing heat, I walked and discovered new friendships and parts of myself that are important to my character today.

The award goes to...

The Class of 2023 won 13-0 in the first SMS vs.

Hutchison annual Powderpuff game. Member of team and football enthusiast Elaina Santos said, "A memorable event from the game was when Ainslee and I did a trick play and scored a touchdown."

Grace Ciaramitaro signed to swim at Vanderbilt University, a Division One collegiate-level program, on Dec. 1, 2022. In her final senior season, she placed second at Tennessee High School State in both the 200 and 500 Freestyle, and at the Southeastern championship, she placed second in the 400 Individual Medley and fourth in the 200 Backstroke.

"I started swimming at a very young age and have loved it ever since," Ciaramitaro said. "When asked about swimming in college, I never had a doubt in my mind that I would not at least try. I made my decision to swim at Vanderbilt because of the great Photo by Beverly Brooks learning and team environment they provide. I am excited for the amazing team of girls I will get to be with every day and to experience life in Nashville."

Leah Balkaran is from Georgetown, Guyana, and joined the Class of 2023 in eighth grade. Since then, Balkaran has made her impact on the grade. With Washington and Lee University as her top choice, Balkaran had to make some serious decisions about staying in the United States or returning to Guyana. But opening her acceptance as a QuestBridge Scholar, she knew her choice was made.

"Being a QuestBridge Scholar is a dream come true," Balkaran said. "Before QuestBridge, I knew I needed a scholarship to be able to go to college in America, but I had no idea how I would do that.

Knowing that I can now go to college for free at a highly competitive and esteemed university like Washington and Lee is a weight off my and my family's shoulders."

Sophie Younker, the class' Annie in "Annie" in fourth grade, won the Outstanding Featured Dancer Award for her role in "Mary Poppins" in the 2022 winter musical.

"Winning this award has been a dream since I was 11, so making that dream a reality was insane," Younker said. "This recognition fuels me to work harder and grow as a dancer."

Gabby Smith

Our student r esearcher s St. Jude Childr en's Research Hospital's High School and College Research I mmer sion Progr am ? Fia Ar belaez "This summer ... I was mentored by Dr. Hong Lin, the lead scientist of the Northcott Lab in the Developmental Neurobiology Department. Over the course of the study, I developed skills in histology, microscopy and bioinformatics and became fluent in scientific terms previously unknown to me. Everything I learned fascinated me. Through drawings on napkins and pictures on my phone, I eagerly sought to show my family and friends my new skills and findings. At St. Jude, I learned what brings me the most joy: discovery."

Depar tment of Psychology at Rhodes College, " How Group Dynamics Affect Child L ear ning" ? Alexandr a L affer ty "Over the summer, I had the most amazing opportunity to work alongside Dr. Kiren Khan and Abby Hultquist at Rhodes. I got to analyze children telling stories in a kindergarten preparedness program. I discovered that different classroom environments can greatly impact the ability for a child to learn. Overall, this was one of the best experiences I have ever had. This has taught me so much about how to be a researcher in the real world and has given me a new appreciation for how much effort and time goes into a research project. It has also given me an insight into what I might want to pursue as a career in the future."

Gabby Smith won fourth place out of 226 Varsity trap shooters in the Scholastic Clay Targeting Program Nationals, shooting 196/200 targets. Of the 196, Smith shot 83 in a row.

"Trap is very distinct from other sports in the way that it focuses on mental hardships and overcoming them," Smith said. "Because of this, the lessons I have learned from my coaches are irreplaceable, and I have formed bonds with teammates that I am so grateful for."

Georgia Carls

"For my HIRS project, I studied the behavior of a species of wild migratory songbirds called prothonotary warblers. The coolest part of my research was that I was doing field work at Meeman-Shelby Forest State Park. I hiked through miles of forest tracking nest data and learning from more experienced researchers how to perform more extensive, advanced techniques for handling wild birds. I also learned how tedious it can be to collect data for a project like this; I spent over 70 hours watching videos of birds in their nests and tracking their behavior. HIRS shaped what I am interested in pursuing in college and in my professional career, specifically that I now know I want to continue hands-on outdoor field work and research, which is so cool."

Over r ton Park Conser vator y, " Allelopathic I mpacts on Tr ee Seedling Ger mination and Growth" ? Rachel L arkins "I had the opportunity to work in forestry, both in the lab and out in the field. I've always had a passion for nature, but to be surrounded by other people who share this passion was truly fulfilling. I found a love for the research process and envirnomental science. While rampaging around in the wilderness through dense brush is not everyone's jam, I was able to really find myself. One unforgettable memory that I have is riding around the zoo in the golf cart to get to our plots with my team. Overall, it was an amazing experience, and I look forward to doing more research in college."

Community L egal Center, " The L ack of Attor neys for the Elderly in Tennessee" ? Shifa Panj wani "My HIRS project was researching the County Attorney in Kentucky with the Community Legal Center (CLC) to examine how their free legal aid in assisting the elderly who need conservatorships works. In doing so, I wanted to see if Memphis could implement a similar County Attorney position. After examining many Kentucky and Tennessee statutes outlining conservatorships and County Attorneys, I compiled a presentation and essay of my findings. I enjoyed my HIRS experience because I was able to not only explore my passion of local service but also see how attorneys serve our communities. From watching attorneys at the CLC interact with their clients, I realized I want to be an attorney in the future.

AM I CA (Cantabr ia, Spain), " Education and Workforce Tr aining for People with Disabilities" ? Darla Suitt "I worked with AMICA, a non-profit organization with the purpose of discovering the capacities of each person and creating opportunities involving society, created in 1984 in the north of Spain. The interesting thing about it is that it works with every single type of disability, and it offers several types of programs depending on each person's capacity. Having lived with someone who has disabilities, it was really cool getting to experience it from a more objective perspective, especially with AMICA, which not only helps people with disabilities in their daily lives but also advocates for their rights in society.

Georgia Carls is the go-to movie-maker of the class. Senior editor of Bella Vista, Carls has worked on many film projects, but her film "Touch," which premiered in August of 2021, has been incredibly successful, and for it, Carls won the Audience Award and the Special Jury Award at the Indie Memphis Film Festival.

"During the creation of 'Touch,' I not only learned a lot about the technicality of the the hard work that goes into film-making but also the power of a story and the responsibility of the storyteller," Carls said.

Fr eshman year: A Der by Day Stor y

Sophomor e year: A Pandemic Sur pr ise

By Charlie LaMountain

By Grayson Finks

Picture this: you?re a freshman circa August 2019. It?s Derby Day. You?re excited to participate in a classic St. Mary?s tradition, spend time with your friends and connect more with your senior. You are a little naive about what Derby Day is actually like, yes, but, what more can there be to it than some silly competitions and getting smeared with chocolate sauce? What you don?t know is how woefully unprepared you are for what the graduating class of 2020 has in store for you.

After a couple of hours of competitions, embarrassingly cringe rap battle lyrics (WE ARE THE EGG YOLKS!) and slip ?n?slides, the time comes. The moment you?ve all been waiting for: to be playfully covered in chocolate and ice cream. But, hark! What?s that smell, you ask? It?s a little? savory. A little? . oily. Oh, no. You look to your left and see a senior SPRINTING at you with a water gun, and before you can even think about what is happening, you are COVERED in warm, greasy, canola oil.

Before you can fully react to the barrage of sun-heated cooking oil, from your right comes a senior you don?t even know with a brown bottle. To your dismay, it?s not chocolate sauce. It?s not whipped cream.

It?s not ice cream. No. It?s a full plastic bottle of Sweet Baby Ray?s Award Winning Barbecue Sauce.

Within a few minutes, you and your entire grade have been turned into ninth-grader-sized briskets ready for a slow roast. To this day, the smell of barbecue sauce still makes you a little nauseous.

It is said that the Class of 2023 still can't wash out the terrible smell of the concoction of barbecue, ice cream and canola oil after multiple showers, hoping to make it in time to the first MUS football game of the season.

I think that when everyone heard the words, 'Your spring break has been extended two weeks,' our initial reactions were all positive ones. However, when two weeks turned into two semesters, my feelings changed. I was always the kind of person that hated breaking habits. I like to wake up at the same time in the morning, take the same route to school and eat the same food from the salad bar in the cafeteria. So, when my new norm became staying at home, I had no desire to break that habit like everyone else did by coming back to the corner of Perkins in two cohorts and masked. I completed my entire sophomore year from home, and if I?m being honest, I?d do anything to take it back.

Although that time at home gave me a chance to focus on my own interests and improve my mental health when it came to the stress of academic performance, I really missed you all. I missed my mornings in the commons, and my afternoons walking to the parking lot. I missed choosing which sweatshirt to wear with my uniform skirt and seeing my artwork hang in the halls. I missed everything that was and still is St. Mary's.

And I am not prepared for how much I?m going to miss it when it?s gone for good next year.

Junior year: M or e homework?????

Senior year: Full Circle

Graphic by Michelle Jun

By Cam Hart

Sorry, we were too busy with this homework to write anything:

What is St. Mary?s if not the traditions? First graders carry the blue tote bag, second and third graders are in the Christmas pageant, fifth graders go to JA Biztown, and so on until you reach a day just like Black Friday, or Baccalaureate, or graduation. But my personal favorite in my 12 years here definitely has to be the Christmas Pageant. Below is something I wrote for Meaning of Life first semester of senior year, reflecting on this tradition: ?Last night at the Christmas pageant, I laid down on the ground of the church and listened to the voices of the second and third graders. I closed my eyes and remembered being them. I remember ecstatically singing to ?Jesus Child? and tearing up during ?Long Time Ago.?I could still remember the feeling of the heat of the lights and the anticipation of the moment. And, one last time, I was part of it again after nine years.

Last night, I began to realize the finiteness that we are living in. I was mouthing along to the songs, and I looked around at my peers, who I've known for so long, their mouths moving, too. We all were taken by this powerful moment. We were those girls on the stands, but 10 years later. We were the seniors we had looked up to. What a beautifully bittersweet full circle.?

That day, I had thought about how quickly time went by. Suddenly, there aren?t any traditions left to look forward to, except the final ones. Being a senior is so much about saying goodbye to the place we love, and the tradition of the Christmas pageant was just that: the beginning of goodbyes.

Blast from the Past Story and photos by Hannah Kerlan Did they ever find those two missing computers or, on a similar note, Ms. Carsten?s AppleTV remote? Does dry-erase Stanley live in a different, more permanent dimension? Could we start a Stanley revolution if we revived his Instagram account? If we were from New York, would we have deemed the weather in DC warm? And, finally, was Mr. Throckmorton really rolling on the floor laughing? Iconic memories from nothing short of an iconic class ? but who are we to think that we could have formed these memories on our own (give or take a few inf luential ants and bedbugs)? So, therefore, this begs one more question. Where are the fallen Turkeys of the Class of 2023? While their names might be painted over in purple, let their words be ?read.?

M ar shall M cGahey

I ntroduction: "I'm Marshall McGahey. I left St. Mary's after eighth grade to go to boarding school."

Hobbies, extr acur r icular s or futur e aspir ations: "I do community service every day after school where we go and tutor kids aged kindergarten through twelfth grade. I'm also an editor of the Arts and Literature magazine."

Favor ite SM S memor y: "Literally, just my entire eighth grade science class. It's such a core memory of mine. Ms. Karol, I just remember her class so well."

How have you changed since SM S? "Since I didn't leave St. Mary's and go to a different school in Memphis, boarding school in general has changed me a lot. I definitely think I had to become way more independent...

I've just had to grow up really fast. Like, I learned really how to budget."

Thoughts on the " Fallen Turkeys" wall in the senior den wher e you wer e featur ed?

"I'm glad that my memory as a turkey lives on.

I think that's so funny. I miss St. Mary's so much. I always say that I didn't leave St. Mary's to leave St. Mary's. I left to ... do boarding school. It wasn't because I was unhappy. I still love it a lot, and I miss all of y'all dearly."

Gwendolyn M cGuir e

I ntroduction: "My name is Gwen McGuire. I went to St. Mary's from sixth grade to eighth grade. In middle school, I did Model UN and track and cross country. I still do track and cross country."

Favor ite SM S memor y: "Probably the DC trip .... that was a good time. I turned 14 on that trip. [The class sang "Happy Birthday"] on the Capitol."

How have you changed since SM S? "St. Mary's really is like a bubble ... I go to public school now. It's a lot bigger ... which I think is good and bad. I just think it has forced me, you know, not that I was ever a pushover, but you really need to be loud and make yourself stand out among all the people."

Thoughts on the " Fallen Turkeys" wall in the senior den wher e you wer e featur ed?

"When I was in middle school, there were a lot of things that I was looking forward to that obviously I haven't gotten to participate in, and so it's kind of like I did participate in painting those cinder blocks."

Anything you want to say to the Class of 2023: "I miss everyone ... We definitely were kind of a dramatic class in middle school at least. But, I feel like everyone has learned how to use their powers of chaos for good. Don't squash that semi-chaotic part of yourselves."

Bella Yant

Emme Ruther ford

I ntroduction: "I'm Bella Yant ... I went to St. Mary's ... I guess I came kind of right in the middle of pre-k and was there until second grade."

Hobbies, extr acur r icular s or futur e aspir ations: "Right now, I'm the editor of our literary magazine. I'm thinking accounting, but I'm not 100% sure."

Favor ite SM S memor y: "I think my favorite would be Felicity Day. I loved dressing up as her ... I remember we cross-stitched the ornaments, and I still have mine."

Thoughts on the " Fallen Turkeys" wall in the senior den wher e you wer e featur ed?

"I feel a little special, but I don't know. I think that's fun."

Anything you want to say to the Class of 2023: " From the perspective of someone who has been in both situations, like going to schools with all girls and then with boys and girls, it's not a super big transition. I feel like there's more going on, I guess, drama-wise with boys and girls, which sounds funny. But, I don't know, it's not a big deal."

I ntroduction: "I'm Emme Rutherford, and I went to St. Mary's up until eighth grade. " Hobbies, extr acur r icular s, or futur e aspir ations: "I used to do running in middle school, and I hated it. I actually run now for fun every day. I did a half marathon in January. I like graphic design. I want to do that in college."

How have you changed since SM S? "I think in middle school ? I talk about this so much with my friends [in Texas] ? I used to be super shy ... Moving changed that so much for me ... I kind of had to reach out to people myself ... so it made me more outgoing."

Thoughts on the " Fallen Turkeys" wall in the senior den wher e you wer e featur ed?

"I'm really honored that I was on the wall, because I feel like I talk about St. Mary's to my friends here so much because I was there for so long. That really makes my day."

Anything you want to say to the Class of 2023: "I realize, looking back, that it was really nice that we had a small grade because it felt like we were all really close to each other. Looking at y'all now from an outside perspective, I can tell that you guys are all super close and really support each other. I really hope that you guys continue to do that."

Hogan "Remote 'learning' on asynchronous days .... though most of you were pretty responsible." - M s. Dunlap "Strong girls!

Favor ite memor y of the Class of 2023?

"So many .... Sending Kaela out into the hall, Cam's Trump/Clinton Modern Myth Wixie, Grayson and Elaina's Charlotte Doyle movie, lying on the f loor listening to 'A Christmas Carol,' Madison always having a box of Teddy Grahams, using Charlie's Wordly Wise quiz as the key because I lost the actual key ... what a funny group of girls." - M s. Lyon "In the spring of 2020, I remember teaching/recording videos from my guest room at home with a small white board hung on the wall. I could do one example and have to erase before I could move on. My geometry classes were very patient as we figured out what online learning looked like for a math course!" - M s. Hogan "Middle school PE, Just Dance in the Maker Space while the AWC was being built!"

- Coach Duncan "Going to France with some members of the senior class." - M s. Askew "Some of the final projects were so good. The chocolate cake, bagels and cream cheese.

Erin bashing Keanu Reeves and then apologizing two years later. Erin crying for just a moment during Chemistry class. The mass exodus out of my class during the first week of school (I totally understand). Learning that sophomores can host 'camps' for small kids (@Annie Camp). The lovely prom that you hosted at the Columns." - M s. Dunlap "Starting as a teacher their freshman year!" - M s. Fletcher

M r. Smith: "You will always be very special to me as the first graduating class of my tenure here at St. Mary?s. For those of you I have had, no matter what has been going on or how tired I have been, I have ALWAYS looked forward to our time together. I appreciate the patience you have had with me as I have adjusted to St. Mary?s, and I have especially appreciated those of you who have laughed at my bad jokes. You will truly be missed, each and every one of you. But, don?t confuse that with a sad thing.

This time in your life is a glorious thing? .you guys are ready to move on to conquer the world and do amazing things, and I think I speak on behalf of all of my colleagues when I say that I am eagerly looking forward to seeing the things y?all do in the world."

M s. Ker st: "My advice for college specifically is to do something you've never done in terms of a club, because you'll end up meeting people that you never thought you would.

Always say hi to people in public spaces, because that's also how you meet people.

Having that 'new kid' feeling is okay."

M s. Askew: "A whole new world is about to open up for you, and I'm so excited for you to get out there into the real world! Try and remember to always be kind. Always try and see things from other people's perspectives before you make judgments. On that note, try not to judge. You never know what someone else is going through. Keep being your amazing selves! You're all so smart and talented and beautiful and strong. I can't wait to see what you all do in life!"

M s. Fletcher: "Don't forget to breathe on purpose! Also, our thoughts cause our feelings, so stop and think about your feelings in the moment and decide which ones you'd like to keep or part with. Not easy, of course, but beneficial to keep you balanced!

If all else fails, making art might lift your spirits, and I encourage you to make art anyway, even if you don't have a reason to! Finally, please wash your brushes! :)" M r. Soun: "Support the Grizzlies. Wear Grizzlies gear around, too."

M s. Lyttle: "First I want to thank the Class of 2023 for making our eighth grade year (DC trip included) never a dull moment, lots of laughs and good times. My advice for your time in college: enjoy the best time of your life and remember if you are afraid to take them home to meet your parents, you might need to throw that FISH back and look for another one or maybe catch them later."

M s. Hogan: "When you start college in the fall, take advantage of all opportunities you can. Whether that is meeting new people, trying a new activity, or taking a course you never considered before, you will learn a lot from taking risks. I wish you all the best over the next few years and beyond. Reach for the moon, and know that you will always land among the stars."

M s. L ove: "Happy Black Friday! Please read on for an overview of all the things I need to tell you: I have had 63 reasons to smile every day for the past year. From last Black Friday to this one, I have loved every minute with you. Thank you. love, Love" M s. Lyon: "Thank you, Class of 2023, for being my first real literature students. I learned more from you than you'll ever know, like the importance of seating charts. You made me laugh and tested my willpower daily, but I will never forget you."

M s. Dunlap: "You are a good bunch. You pursue your passions - a good thing even if it makes teaching you a little tough. Keep it up!"

M s. K arol: "'All I Really Need To Know I Learned In Kindergarten" but not really, you learned it in eighth grade."

Coach Duncan: "May today be better than yesterday, but, not as good as tomorrow."

M s. Segar s: "Don't go! We love you! Can't wait to see you at Alumnae Weekend 2028 for your five year!"

M s. Ray: " Remember what we talked about at the cathedral, that PEACE begins within.

Remember that a change of location does not bring peace but rather the choice of practicing peace every day. You're grown-ups now, for the most part, and a mature person sings the song like this: 'Let there be peace on earth / And let it begin with ME.' I wish for you all, with enormous love, the practice of peace. It's your choice, so choose well."

M s. Bielskis: ?You're gonna be great. Just please remember to? (1) GO to class. (2) USE your professor's office hours (promise that you are not the only one confused + being able to ask for help is a legit life skill). (3) You know you, so you do you in the face of all your buddies saying, "Come on, come out!" Stay strong, my peeps. (4) If you find yourself in a relationship (any variety) that does not consistently lift you up, FREE yourself from that relationship. You deserve that freedom. (5) Get sleep. But please recognize the difference between getting enough good sleep and consistently taking to the bed. If you find yourself doing the latter, ask for help. You are worthy of the help. (6) Social media is a lie. (7) As to all those "4-ever happy" people on social media...you are going to be happy and you are going to be sad, but ultimately you will be ok. You know what to do. (8) Social media is a lie. A. LIE. (9) Avoid redundancy. (10) Respect yourself."

(1) Constitution (2) Fia (3) Cookiedough (4) Carls (5) Hypocrites (6) Bedbugs (7) twentythree (8) Extra (9) Baja (10) MJ (11) JaneEyre (12) ADP (13 Across) Lakes (13 Down) Lowood (14) Eggyolks (15) Snow
