DEDICATION Mr. Peter Dun Jap Pelham This year marked the beginning of a new admin- istration at Mount Vernon, In the fall of 1962 Mr. Peter Dunlap Pelham came to fill the office of president. Mr, Pelham has had a. sound background to pre- pare him for his present work. When he had com- pleted four years at the Kent School, he attended Williams College in Massachusetts. After his graduation from college he went on to earn his Master ' s Degree at Harvard University, He has had experience as an assistant to the dean of admissions at Williams College. Presently he is finishing his work for the Doctor ' s Degree at the University of Virginia, There are many problems which confront a new president during his first year at a school, and it is difficult to work out the solutions to the satisfac- tion of both the faculty and the students. Yet, despite these difficulties and responsibilities, Mr, Pelham always finds time to listen to the requests and problems of the girls. Who could forget his cheerful hello , his friendly advice, the parties he gave for us, and his support of, and participa- tion in, the many school activities? The Pelham family, too, has become a part of school life This includes Mrs. Pelham, Melissa, and Peter, Jr. By opening their home to the school, they have made the students feel more strongly than ever that Mount Vernon is not only a place of learning but also their home. Already his diplomacy in handling the girls has won him their complete respect and admiration. His presence has infused fresh vigor into the life and outlook of the school, and he has brought a promise of new ideas to be added to our many old traditions. We feel truly fortunate to have Mr. Pelham as our president and we take pride in dedicating this yearbook to him in honor of his first year at Mount Vernon,
