Whispers of heavenly death murmur’d I hear, Labial gossip of night, sibilant chorals, Footsteps gently ascending, mystical breezes wafted soft and low, Ripples of unseen rivers, tides of a current flowing, forever flowing (Or is it the plashing of tears? the measureless waters of human tears?) I see, just see skyward, great cloud-masses; Mournfully, slowly they roll, silently swelling and mixing, With at times a half-dimm’d sadden’d far-off star, Appearing and disappearing. (Some parturition rather, some solemn immortal birth; On the frontiers to eyes impenetrable, Some soul is passing over.) Walt Whitman IN MEMORIUM faculty

MATH J.E.B. Stuart’s Math Department underwent a major change this year with the loss of Cap¬ tain Rice to retirement. Mr. Whoolery took over as department chairman, and also took over the two Calculus classes. Between Mr. Whoolery and Mr. Davis, no perplexing Greek symbol escaped the studies of ambitious Func¬ tions and Calculus. Algebra, Geometry, and General Math basics are taught by Mr. Whoolery’s other assistants. MR. WHOOLERY DEPARTMENT HEAD MR. BUESCHER MR. DAVIS MR. DEVIER MRS. HOLDT COL. HUGGINS MRS. ISAKOV COL.

ART As every year, the Art Department has stayed busy by always making sure the halls of Stuart weren’t bare. For the first time, and Art Honor So¬ ciety was created to acknowledge the abilities of many talented students. To finish the year with success, the Art Department once again sponsored a fantastic art show enjoyed by all, spectator and participant. 27 MRS. McMAHON MRS. SEIDEL Mrs. McMahon and Mrs. Seidel work on a masterpiece. MR. DUBIN MR. ROOKS Sock it to them, Mr. Dubin. FINE ARTS Mr. Rooks, in his first year here at Stuart, di¬ rected our various choral groups in “something old’’—the Christmas Concert and the Spring Con¬ cert, and “something new”—our very own fresh¬ men boys’ chorus. Our Madrigals provided another year of traditional songs with a “classical touch.” Stuart’s band, directed by Mr. Dubin, partici¬ pated in new formations during football halftimes, and showed their appreciation for Mr. Dubin, their “Man For All Seasons” during the Jefferson game’s halftime. Says Mr. Dubin, “If the Band does well in the annual Band Festival, we’ll make a trip to Virginia Beach toward the end of the year. faculty
