MISS McMURRY Idanelle McMurry: Headmistress— When a new freshman at Harpeth Hall s ees this impressive title on top of a tall doorway, it can be a bit frightening. However, when Miss McMurry greets this same girl later in the hall with a warm smile and calls her by name, that student has an opportunity to see the side of Miss McMurry that we all appreciate. As the president of the National Association of Private Schools for Girls and an active member in several other organizations, Miss McMurry carries a very heavy load: traveling to various cities for endless meetings and writing letters to numerous correspondents. Somehow, however, she always manages to have some time to spend with students and faculty. She helps to determine the class schedules, attends assemblies when she is in town, makes a point to be present at the George Washington celebrations and both class plays, comes to the All-Club Picnics, and even plays in volleyball games. This year, she has had the added responsibility of lessening the chaos caused by the construction. Miss McMurry does much for Harpeth Hall, but the quality we appreciate most is just that she is herself.
