The Class of T959 Dedicates its Cupola To ROBERT M. TAYLOR You have been at Moorestown Friends' School for a long time, Mr. Tay- lor-perhaps longer than you care to remember-though we know that all of your memories of the school will be good ones. You first came here as a Teacher in 1924, we are told. We are also told that you managed to teach chemistry and physics very effectively to some of our parents. They, as well as we ourselves, hold many fond memories of good times with you around Moorestown Friends'. They recall, for instance, the time when some fun-meaning boys lacked up the rear end of your Model-T Ford, so that when you started for home, the wheels went, but the car didn't. They also recall your nickname Cube Root. We're not sure of the exact significance of the name, except that it had some- thing to do with a rather difficult problem in physics. But we're sure, of course, that the cube had to do only with the root, and was not being compared to your head. We will never forget you, Mr. Taylor. We will never forget your discipli- nary skill which helped to give some of us our come-uppance out of the iunior high, nor your patience in drilling into us the fine points of elementary chemistry and physics, nor your loyal rooting at our athletic contests, nor the plain good advice that you have always been happy to give us. Good luck to you, Mr. Taylor! We will always be with you in spirit.

MERRILL L. HIATT Headmaster of MOORESTOWN FRIENDS SCHOOL Another happy and successful school year at Moorestown Friends' School will soon come to an end, and with its close, will come your Commencement Day, certainly an important day in your experience. To you, the members of the Class of 1959, Mrs. Hiatt and l extend our warm and sincere congratulations. We are happy for you for we know that this Commencement Day symbolizes the attainment of a goal which, not too many years ago, seemed quite distant. The average attendance in Moorestown Friends' School of the members of your Class is over seven years. This is a fact of which all of us are proud. You have made such an important place for yourselves that you r graduation leaves all of us with a real sense of loss. However, you must always think of yourselves as a part of the Moorestown Friends' School family as, indeed, you will always be. The academic training which you have received has been sound and thorough. You are, we feel, ready to meet the challenge of the advanced pro- gram upon which you will embark next fall. But iust as important as the academ- ic training, or, indeed, more so, has been the development of your emotional stability, spiritual insight, and effective qualities of leadership. Upon these things depends much of your 'ability to be of help in a complex world. We send you on with our blessing, sad in your leaving but happy and proud that we have been able to travel along a part of life's pathway with you. Sincerely yours, .If I
