But, at Milton, I feel the converse is espe- cially fitting - Out of One Many. Diversity shows itself here at Milton, not only in the fact that we have many different people doing different things, such as sports and the arts, but also in the fact that so many people do the same things both differently and well. Our section entitled Student Gallery shows just how proficient our artists are. Other sections of the book attest to the many outstanding athletes. Even things as subtle as dress and manner are done with an individual flair, which I hope is captured in our candids. Individualism is what sets Milton apart, and in this yearbook we hope to show precisely that individualism, that diversity that makes up a year at Milton Academy.

IA ET ELL by Gloria Perkins Guardian of Goodwin Room grammar, interpreter of arcane test scores, friend and advocate of the Class of 1984, Ianet Warren Buell arrived at Milton in 1970, when her husband George was appointed to teach History and serve as Master of Robbins House. The four younger Buells, George, Ir., Lisa, Becky, and Sam, attended Milton. A graduate of Bryn Mawr College, Ian also took special train- ing in Language Skills and re- ceived the Certificate of the Lan- guage Clinic at Massachusetts General Hospital. She joined the Milton faculty in 1972, becoming Department Chairman in 1979. Upon the retirement of Miss John- son, the Buells moved into the house she had formerly occupied and opened their mini-dorm, with four students in residence. Living at the Buells has become a much sought-after privilege -the occupants' birthdays are cele- brated with parties, their teachers and friends are invited to dinners, and each girl is encouraged to re- quest a favorite food on the weekly marketing list. Ian combines style with sub- stance and firmness with kind- ness. Though she would probably prefer to spend her leisure hours on her omnivorous reading, she al- ways manages to find time to bake 20 a treat, knit a sweater, or talk to her advisees. She has been Class Advi- sor to the Senior girls since they were in Class IV and can fairly be said to know them well! As Lan- guage Skills Chairman, Ian is tact- ful, efficient, and above all suppor- tive of the teachers in her depart- ment, each of whom speaks admir- ingly of her. As teacher, she is pa- tient and positive, and her helpful hints for taking the S.A.T.'s are valued. As though all this were not enough for two women to do, Ian has also devoted much loving care to members of her family and has been taking courses for her Master of Arts degree, which she expects to complete soon. In fact, she is the embodiment of the versatile mod- ern woman as she goes on leave next year to continue her graduate work and ponder a possible change of career. With characteristic New En- gland reticence, Ian herself would never dream of speaking about her many accomplishments, but the rest of us at Milton are grateful for the opportunity to recognize them and to thank her for using them to our benefit.
