HE STAFF of the ‘‘Cupola’’ wishes to express its desire that you will bear with it through this first and rather hurried attempt at an M. V. S. year book. The request for this book was put before Mrs. Hensley, at Counsellor Meeting, on the afternoon of April 1 I th, and, due to her decided approval and to the enthusiasm with which she met the idea, we were able to put it before the student body that night. Their greeting was no less enthusiastic, and the general desire was to elect a board as soon as possible, and, in spite of the short time, to do what we could towards establishing a year book this year. So, Friday night, the staff was elected, and the next day work began. Enough for that, but we hope that regardless of what we have or have not made the “Cupola,” you will lend it a boosting hand in the future. It is the result of a long wished for school book that deals with the personal side of the girls here at school now. The Roll Call has been, and will always be, looked forward to with eager anticipation, but as a large part of its circulation goes through old girls, some of whom have not been here for years, it naturally does not touch upon the more intimate school life as we hope we have succeeded in doing. We also hope that, if we have overstepped your bounds of intimacy, you will again show us your leniency. 5
