FOREWORD Foreword is of times a looking backward, a reviewing ol the accomplishments and events of the past year. We are constantly looking back in history to the standards set by our forebears, anti to the events which have receded in time sufficiently for their greatest effects to stand out in strong relief. In retrospect, therefore, vve gain a rounded comprehension of the circumstances that go to make up our lives, and from it we know the better, what in the future is expected of us, whether it be in a boarding school, or the life into which the Class of 1930 will soon enter. Memory is perhaps the strongest of the four processes of learning. Our memory is the record of the happy, sad, or difficult experiences by which we are made. School, though it seems almost prom idle to repeat it, is, outside of daily lessons, an experience to which we often attach too little importance. Almost unnoticed it leaves its impress upon us, through friends, contacts, community living, and their daily demands. In meeting girls from different parts of the country, we find the need for tolerance of viewpoint in living with a large group, the necessity for cooperation; in coming into contact with more mature minds than our own, we grow with that interchange of ideas and with that challenge to thought. Demands are made of us daily, which in the successful fulfillment should bring out our best abilities, call upon our originality, and develop a sense of proportion and responsibility in budgeting time so that we may finish in a limited period all that is asked of us. Where is this better exemplified than in the non-academic activi- ties — Tea House, Creative Writing and Dramatic Workshops, in the Ingenuity Contests, Athletic Banner, and Flag Honor? Consequently The Cupola is a looking backward over 1930. May it recall memories of what has passed, and be the testimonial that we have carried a step onward the tradi- tions and ideals of Mount Vernon. Marianne L. Stevenson, Editor in-Chief.
