J r jM MISS FESSEY The one face familiar to everyone in the Middle School is that of its director, Miss Polly Fessey. Throughout the summer, Miss Fessey plans and works to make the coming school year a success. After school opens, she can always be seen with a friendly smile, whether in the halls or in her office, advising and encouraging students. She directs the academic program, sponsors the Middle School Council, and sees that the activities of two hundred students run smoothly. With warmth and confidence, Miss Fessey makes each year a good year for the Middle School.

MISS McMURRY Who is someone we all know, see every Monday in assembly, and go to for the final yes or no to any question? Who arranges and rearranges our schedules every year and is always there for every class play, George Washington celebration, All-Club Picnic, registration, and graduation? Who always tells us to keep off the grass, make this a good year, and there are only one hundred and seventy-nine more days of school! ? She ' s always smiling, always understanding, and always says exactly the right thing at the right time. This lady is well known to all of us: she is our own headmistress, Miss Idanelle McMurry.

MISS PENNY Each year Miss Penelope Mountfort, better known to most as Miss Penny, begins over again with her explanations of S.A.T. ' s, A.C.T. ' s, and college applications. Her job as counselor can be hectic, but year after year, each graduate of Harpeth Hall finds herself enrolled in the college best suited for her, thanks to Miss Penny. Besides being counselor, Miss Penny sponsors Milestones, our yearbook. Somehow she manages every year to coordinate these two activities and to do a great job with both. DEANS BOARD MISS HENSLEY Although known to five classes of Middle School students as their Ancient History teacher, Miss Janet Hensley is new to the Upper School this year. Miss Hensley, now our Dean of Students, is using her talents and enthusiasm in carrying out a variety of duties. As organizer of our Winterim term, she arranges travel programs, approves independent study projects, schedules the on-campus classes, and somehow finds rooms, teachers, and equipment for all courses. She also sponsors the Student Council, serves on the Student-Faculty Committee, and handles disciplinary matters. Only a lady as capable as Miss Hensley could manage all this and manage it well.
