MRS. MARYELLEN SCHAEFER DEDICATION Her smile is her trademark, whether she's busy making bulletin boards of candy for every holiday, spending the summerpainting and decorating the girls' locker room, sponsoring charity drives for needy families, or merely fighting the never-ending battle of dirty gym suits and untidy lockers, you can be sure she is smiling. ln spite of her many classes and activities, she is never too busy to stop and talk awhile. Somehow she manages to teach gym classes, hygiene, and science classes, advise the cheerleaders, and do a hundred and one other little things like hand-packing the potato chips that are sold at the games. She does all of these things well, and with a smile. We know her for her fairness and lack of prejudice, in class or out. We are well acquainted with her sense of humor: we've seen the wax buck teeth and mustache that she wears on field trips. Her self-restraint is admirable as she watches us struggle awkwardly through Modern Dance. Her kindness has become an institution at M. V. She is always striving to make her office a second home for us. lf you've sometimes heard soft music wafting up from the girls' locker room, it was her doing. Whenever you're sick, you can be sure she'll take care of you, even if it means that she has to give up what little free time she has. Well, we have tried to put into words the affection the school feels for you, and that is why we, The Junior Class, are dedicating to you, Mom, our i953 WEATHER VANE.

4 X LEFT TO RIGHT: Mr. Stork and Jack Harris. TO THE STUDENTS: As school opened, we were stunned by the sudden death of a good friend and a great teacher. l am certain Mr. Johnson would be proud ofthe manner in which students and teachers alike have rallied to make this past year one of the best. Space is too brief to list any but a few ofthe highlights this year: The largest graduating class iand with that happy proportion ot nine girls and nine boysl, a successful basketball season for boys and hockey, tor girls, the remodeling of gymnasium ceiling, higher scholastic achievement, a musical comedy, colorful art exhibits, polite, happy, and hardworking Lower School- ers, quiet study-halls, lively preschoolers, and the best group of teachers and students in the country. As this has been a good and full year, may your memories of it maintain friendships made here and a loyalty to your school. With every good wish, Cigar! 0
