ELEANOR DAWSON PINKERTON A. K. P., Historian Senior Class, F. S. Sprung from Minerva's race, in hunter of wisdom divine is she. Eleanor is what you call a glulton for study. Her appetite for studying is colossal, cyclopean, gigantic. The faculty could not give her enough studying to do. She had studied so that she won the valedictory of the class with the greatest ease. She is the salvation of the Senior Latin Class. But oh, she was never known to smile at a man fthe one in the Senior Classl. Boys are beneath her notice, for one was never known to have the privilege of calling upon her. Taken from the 1913 Commodore TO THE MAURY S'l'UDEN'l'S OF 1953: Indeed, Htempus fugit! I appreciate the honor of being asked to contribute to your year book. I loved Maury High School, and the happiest of all my students days were spent there. This snapshot shows my daughter and me at her graduation from nursing school- Presbyterian Hospital in New York. Since then she has married, and now lives in New Delhi, India, where her husband is connected with the American Embassy. As for myself-I went to Sweet Briar College for a year, then on to Teachers Col- lege, Columbia University, for a course with Foods and Nutrition Major. I met my husband in an Army hospital while I was an Army Dietitian. We have had thirty-two happy years together, and I hope as good things may be in store for each of you. tMrs. Robert Lee Greenwoodj Your staff has requested personal data, so please forgive me while I indulge in a Remembrance of Things Past. Upon graduation from Maury in 1913, I enjoyed the good fortune of receiving the Randolph-Macon Scholarship. At the com- pletion of three years' residence there, I was awarded an A.B. degree with majors in French and Latin and minors in Greek and German. They were three years closely filled with work and play. During 1923 I attended Summer School at William and Mary and gained experience in Supervision and Administration under an exchange professor from Saint Lawrence University. I continued my study of foreign lan- guages in 1925-1926 as a student in the Gradu- ate School of Corness University. At Cornell I majored in advanced work in French and English Literature and later took up doctorate work in the field of Romance Languages. Now I am home again here at tmy Alma Mater! Maury, where I am teaching French and Spanish. My years of teaching have been equally as enjoyable as my student days, but in a different way. Now l am responsible not simply for myself but also for others. May you, too, hnd your school days a rich, enjoyable and rewarding experience. May I close with the famous quotation that my mothers' professor expressed for her in her scholarship award book: G'Haec olive meminisse juvabit? ae, t,...2...JN saw MARY woonARo Takeit from the 1913 Commodore ii- I President Le Circle Francais, Sujragette Clubg ,'.- i I Adelphic Literary Society. ag A it i' f m 'And knowing much, she burned to know still ,W A . more.' p' Who shall attempt to remark on the career 'E SQ of this young lady. Few suspected her to be in one'of the brightest students in her class until she won the salutatorian by a large margin. Q A Her tastes are literary, her interest is broad, genuine, and blithe, consequently she wins for herself many friends. She will long be remem- bered by the school as the ideal student. its aixxxi We ASX, . as it X, r -t f . if 'E 2 awxgif'

llIllEU'I'0lt M 0 ll 0 0 1 V lt is claimed that from a point a horseman once rode off in all directions. Graduation produces a somewhat similar situationg one is impcllcd to look in at least two directions. The mind wanders to past experiences, some pleasant, some other- wise-many upon which one can only muse without being par- ticularly impressed one way or another. Then will come thoughts of the future, where one will go, what one will do. It is my sincere hope that as these thoughts are transformed into deeds, they will he accompanied hy success, happiness, peace of mind and contentment of the soul. Bad hoys? No, not really. Arnold Croolwy and Rodney Elliott are just receixing il little llhhlrlllllft' and hit ol audi ive from Mr. George llaly nc. Three years of high school and perhaps more than three years for some will soon he over. It doesn't make a great deal of difference now. lvhat is ending is a period that can never he relived. Many of you will continue your education hut under different circumstances. ln your years here, we, your instructors and counselors, have attempted to lay the foundation of your education. You are called upon to huild the superstructure. The hest three years of your lives are ending. This hook is a reminder of cherished memories-'memories that might fade with time were there no reminder. It is an attempt to register your progress at Maury and to capture a list of that enduring spirit established many years ago and still unchanged. dffQ...f,,e ,J J, x
