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.

Nobel, J. Haines, G. Willis. Around the middle of March, if you had been listening closely, you would have heard a vast sigh of relief welling out of room lOl as we, this year's Cupola staff, sent our baby off to press. We could look back on months of Typing copy, searching for pictures, scrambling to meet deadlines, wangling ads, and proofreading. At first, we were the rankest bunch of amateurs ever to hit the yearbook trade, but, after being initiated into the art by our advisor, Miss Armstrong, we set to work with a will that more than offset our lack of experience. There were a few among us who trustingly believed that yearbooks went together by themselves. These naive notions were soon dispelled as we started the hectic round of picture-taking and copy-preparing that preceded our first deadline. To complicate matters still further, we were forced to work for nearly a month in the absence of Miss Armstrong, who was able to turn the chaos of our organization into some semblance of order. However, we saw it through to the end and can now look back with satisfaction, mixed with some surprise, to find that we enioyed it all!
