r 1 W'hat would this world be like without leaders, someone to guide society? Every club or organization has to have leaders to keep it out of chaos. This section of the book represents the leaders of Mount Vernon Academy, the leaders in the threefold purpose of our own school - the training of the head, the hand and the heart. Un the opposite page you can see the Local Academy Board, which, under the able leadership of Elder Robbins, chairman of the Board, has maintained the high moral and scholastic standards of the school. In the following pages are the leaders who, day after day, are in constant contact with the student and guides him upward. ln other words the teachers are to take the place of our parents while we are here at school. Mrs. E. G. Wfhite said that M. V. A. would give character to the work. Many of the leaders in the work today are gradu- ates from Mount Vernon Academy which is the training school for LEADERS.
