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.

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 HERRING Have you ever wondered about who is in charge of supervising the maintenance people, managing our budget, and turning in reports about the building project to the Board of Trustees? The person who carries these responsibilities is Miss Herring, and those are just a few of her many activities as Director of Finance and Development at Harpeth Hall. Her main responsibility is supervising the Fund Raising Campaign for our desperately needed new auditorium— gymnasium- fine arts building. If the construction of this complex begins in the spring of 1976 as hoped, much of the credit should go to Miss Herring for the time and energy she has put into the campaign. MRS. NICHOLS Through the alumnae magazine and other publications, Mrs. Polly Nichols, Director of Alumnae, has kept the graduates of Harpeth Hall well informed for the past three years. With the aid of two reporter agents and two finance agents from each graduating class, she has managed to make and keep up a record of who is married to whom and what they have been involved in since graduation. She works with Miss Herring in their well-hidden office above Souby Hall. This year has been busier than ever for Mrs. Nichols because she has involved the alumnae in the fund-raising campaign for the new building.
