V The President ' s Address Most times We address each other too often. In our desire for relativity We attempt dialogues Of cosmic dimensions, But Einstein expressed it best: E = me 2 , The human condition, however, Does not argue well For formulae. Cells, chromosomes, and water Are impersonal. The protoplasmic phenomenon Of life Is essentially transcellular, Therefore, Let us combine to provide A camera obscura. The lens of which Is in the eye of the beholder. Sometimes It is better that we be silent So that we may recognize fully The oldest axiom of them all: Agape. Peter D. Pelham 1973 3

Paul and Sandra Proteau with children Julie. Jennifer and Paula House Residents, Ames Steve and Chris Malley with daughter Lisa, House Residents , Cole Dedication We think we ' ve come a long way, as the say- ing goes, entering Mount Vernon as just so many individuals, but developing a tremendous sense of togetherness while here. We have experienced a force which has brought us together. Think back to the first hello in September and ahead to the last goodbye in May; to the element which throughout the year held the fort down but always managed to keep things rolling. We felt at home knowing there was someone to turn to when we needed a friend, sharing the good times as well as the bad, living together and learn- ing together, And though we must depart as individuals ready to make our mark in the world, we are all bound by the not much older but wiser friends we leave behind, knowing that whatever we achieve will be due in part to their influence. We. the class of 1973, wish to dedicate our yearbook to these friends, the House Residents.
