THE HARPETH HALL SCHOOL 5 fo THE HARPETH HALL SCHOOL ' presenting the 1953 milestones harpeth hall school RUTH ELEANOR CORN, Editor POLLY JORDAN, Business Manager MISS BILLIE KUYKENDALL, Faculty Adviser foreword Engine ' 53 has chugged slowly to a stop after its year ' s journey through the land of Harpeth Hall. As you, the passengers, descend into the fields of summer, perhaps you would like to enjoy your travels once more in retrospect. The train, however, moved swiftly; perhaps you remember only a blur of landscape flying past. But in this MILESTONES, you will find the sharp images which memory alone denies you — pictures which will stand out against the blur of days passed and scenes forgotten. As you turn its pages, you may travel again the well-loved journey of Engine ' 53. So, for the rekindling of your memory, we present to you the MILESTONES of 1953. To Miss Kuykendall, whose support is the strength of many student organiza- tions, whose willing assistance has made this ainuuil possil le, and whose guid- ance has rendered immeasurable benefits, not only to her own pu|)ils. but to all who have touched her understanding — to Miss Kuykendall, wliose H)nlri- l)ution to the spirit of Harpeth Hall is as great as the sincere gratitude of her students, MILEST ONES of 1953 is dedicated. dedication M. ' tf- ■•■ ■■ - ' - ' ' ' myyS - ' ■ N rS Sl - mrs, souby We thank Mrs. Souby .... Every student who has entered her office, awed and a little bewildered, knows that gratitude to Mrs. Souby is gratitude for security — security that comes from capable administration, security that springs from her willingness to take each girl ' s problem and to return it solved. Service of this nature is beyond the line of duty and, as such, is often rewarded with medals and decorations. But the giving of security deserves a more lasting recompense — appieciation. We, therefore, thank Mrs. Souby for being the director of our school.
