ADMINISTRATION “Good mornin’ . . . Now ...” Making an¬ nouncements, enforcing legislation, pacifying par¬ ents, controlling student activities, leading teacher associations, and various other tasks entail only small portion of Mr. Mason’s day. Although we rarely realize his importance, Mr. Mason is Stuart’s middle name. Whether he is sowing the seeds of wisdom at an assembly or merely intro¬ ducing the morning announcements, he is a defi¬ nite figure of our school’s personality. Without him our student body would be like a football team without its coach. “Mr. Todd would like to see ...” Although he may seem somewhat like a prosecuting attorney, Mr. Todd is actually very understanding. He not only has the job of making sure the detention halls are full, but also makes certain that the students know the “why” behind school rules. An interest in school activities has given Mr. Todd exceptional insight in the field of student discipline, not to men¬ tion some talent in traffic direction and issuing parking permits. Yet whatever he may do—and his activities vary widely—he performs his duties to the satisfaction of all. Breezy, bustling Mr. Arndt seems to have a smile for everyone, whether he’s zooming around school programming aptitude tests, outlining a substitute teacher’s day, or scheduling a field trip. A familiar sight at Stuart, he is famous for finding owners for studentless books, or vice-versa. Work¬ ing along with Mr. Mason and Mr. Todd, Mr. Arndt completes the team of top administrative echelon at Stuart. W. Leon Mason, Principal 14 Edward J. Arndt, Assistant Principal Thomas D.

INDUSTRIAL ARTS Pounding, thumping, sawing, and (we hope) some results are just a few of the activities of the Industrial Arts Department. It provides stimulation for each student as well as giving Muscles McGruder something to do after he finishes his foot¬ ball career. Room 136 is not only for boys, but a haven for girls with broken notebooks, cheerleaders with no other place to go to make posters, and last, but not least, for teachers who love to work on cars.

Well, the girls in the Home Economics Department have finally succeeded in setting the building on fire. Almost every day, one can walk down Stuart’s halls and smell the fragrant (?) odors of apple pie or rolls float¬ ing out of the Home Ec kitchens. Occasionally, the odious smell of burnt apple pie or rolls is emitted from the rooms. The only time the student body can feel safe is when Mrs. Lee or Mrs. Nelson is teaching the girls the rules of good grooming, how to design and sew clothes, and to plan meals fit for kings. Juanita Bernau B.S., Mary Washington BUSINESS EDUCATION Evelyn Bickers B.S., Mary Washington M.A., U. of Alabama Eugenia Harris B.S., U. of North Carolina “These are our future business leaders . . .?” Perhaps a lament heard frequently from the teachers of the Business Education Department, after a hard day of trying to keep wandering eyes on a law book, to teach careless fingers to learn the keyboard, and to make their students understand that they must memorize their shorthand symbols. Molding these inno¬ cent minds to fit the positions of the business world would in¬ deed seem a task for a stern martinet, but department head Miss Bickers, along with the other teachers, handles it with ease.
