Lupton Simpson Mr. Simpsons message: Young ladies and gentlemen, it is indeed a pleasure to me to place a message to you in this yearbook whose theme carries the thought of the five years we have spent together in this school now so dear and valuable to us all. I well remember the uncommonly beautiful morning of September IA, 1954, when you as eighth grade students entered in awed silence the impressive portals of our school. You were timid and apprehensive, but in a surprisingly short time, as I remember it, you had taken over the place. Through the years, I have grown to love you, especially for your consistent respect and courtesy, those attributes that ever characterize ladies and gentlemen. Be advised by this Parthian shot: Enter into your vocations with all ofthe zest and eagerness you can command, spend the years of your future in wise thought and behavior, be prudent in your associations, read good literature, imbue your minds with useful knowl- edge. And now-'tis time for praise and congratulations to you, a remarkable group of young people full of grace and prom- ise. I am loath to see you go. But go with your minds fully made up to hold fast that which is of good report! Fondest best wishes to graduates of l959l ff' J. LUPTON SIMPSON A-ng.

Friendly counseling ben efi ts all pupils The five years that have intervened since that first and most difficult one of 1954 have seen many new developments in the Guidance Department. Routine general conferences are now held twice a year with every student, even though the enrollment has increased from 1099 to 1220 and guidance duties are much more numerous and weighty. Mrs. Kephart is the guardian angel for eighth grade pupils and freshmen. Near the end of the school year, parents of eighth grade pupils confer with Mrs. Kephart to plan for school years ahead, and she continues to advise with freshmen throughout their first year as high school pupils. To Mrs. Palmer falls the work of guiding the upperclassmen, of compiling follow-up records of graduates, of helping secure schol- arships for many who want them, and of supervising iob place- ments for graduates. Each guidance counsellor has a Bachelor's degree from William and Mary College: Mrs. Palmer, a B.A., Mrs. Kephart a B.S. Both have done graduate work at Mary Washington College and at The George Washington University, Mrs. Palmer has done additional graduate.work at the College of William and Mary.
