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
