l 4 4 i l i l ,. ,. Miss Louise Henderson Sunset Hill has undergone an exciting transition during the past academic year. September ushered in a new headmistress and this event produced both eager anticipation and uncertain apprehen- sion. Louise Henderson has proved herself a dy- namic and competent administrator. In addition to her administrative duties, our headmistress con- ducts a survey course in American History. Miss Henderson is familiar with the atmosphere at Sunset, for she attended a college preparatory school. After receiving a B.A. at Wellesley Col- lege, she worked as a technician and statistician at the Department of Epidermiology at Harvard University, where she aided scientists in their re- search against many skin diseases, including lep- rosy. She then studied at Stanford University for her M.A. in history. Directly preceding her ap- pointment at Sunset, she was a history teacher and Administrative Assistant to the Headmistress at the Chapin School in New York. As a new headmistress, Miss Henderson is neither intoxicated by Change, nor intimidated by Tradi- tion. When asked if she planned any major altera- tions, she replied, lt is only fair that l live through a year of Sunset policies and traditions, before deciding whether or not to change them. Miss Henderson's energetic, authoritative manner com- mands respect, and her ready smile and warm per- sonality have endeared her to the students, teach- ers and parents. Indeed, this year has proven successful for Sunset Hill, and judging by Miss Henderson's strong, able leadership, this pattern will continue indefinitely. .P-1 H1 4

Yet the daily hockey and basketball practices are equally important, for these determine success or failure for the individual athlete. Sunset Hill has an air of anticipation before school dances. Boys, dresses and hair styles are fervently discussed. Many girls prepare for these occasions with the meticulous care of a debutantep few are disappointed in the parties. Let us not forget the expectations of closing day: three months of glorious fun and relaxation stretch before many tired studentsg others have obtained interesting summer jobsg the girls who look to the next academic year do so with excitement rather than apprehension, for they anticipate another year of opportunity and promise. Indeed William Shakespeare caught an integral part of life at Sunset Hill when he said: For now sits Expectation in the air. lan Larkin
