Heaiures A native Virginian, Iamcs Monroe is well known as a political leader who contributed the Monroe Doctrine. A close study of his life reveals that he was also an active social leader. Not only in the United States, but also while serving as Ambassador in France, Monroe and his wife were frequent visitors at plays, concerts and other social functions. He followed the fashion of presidentsg but he was the last to wear the elegant eighteenth century clothes. Chosen to represent the Features section, Monroe is an exem- plary individual whu not only led a full political life but also displayed qualities which are emphasized in this section. This di- vision of the book spotlights special students who have proven themselves leaders as well as a side of school life not revealed through classes, clubs or sports. From September to Iune each Albemarle High student is in- volved in innumerable special activities which highlight the everyday routine. As the year progresses, the characteristics which mark each class emerge. From this pattern individual leaders are singled out. In The 1962 Peer, the staff has attempted to present these people as they appear in the story of the year. 25 :QQ ings!! if fi? if 3 :E FE l . i I ! , e

Culpeper Under the coaching of Miss Tresa Quarles, the girls' softball team will take the Held this year with new uniforms, new equipment, and high hopes for a winnin season. Last year's squad had a very commendable season for a grst year inexperienced team, as they posted a record of four wins and one loss. With many starters back, including joan Pugh, the winner of last year's most valuable player trophy, the team looks forward to a bigger and better season this year. Try-outs are highly successful and, as players are picked for their ability displayed this year and not on the basis of last year,s performances, everybody has an equal chance. With this in mind, Coach Quarles set about the diflicult task of picking the eighteen girl squad. Although injuries and inclement weather may cause some handi- caps, the 1962 team should have a better season than the team had last year, and should build a good foundation for future softa ball teams.
