FACULTY FEATURES Finding that the members of our Faculty do not like to be recorded conventionally any bet- ter than we do, we turned the candid Mr. Brooks loose among them, too. Here they all are, or most all, in actions quite as characteristic as their sterner classroom behavior. At the left the Heads are up to something. Is Miss Marion about to appear in another Profess or Quiz, or is it just another special rest period? Below, Mr. Lloyd is obviously wondering what his English department will try for next, while Mrs. Leonard wishes she had concocted that gorgeous birthday cake. Please notice that Miss Smith is ready for any emergency. On the next page we have caught two lively groups in our midst. Mrs. Lindsay, called in the catalogue by the ominous title of Director of Residence, gets around to see us every now and then and we like it. If it were not for Miss Blakeslee none of us would ever have entered the portals of Mount Vernon; and it is Mrs. Storey who is bound to know all about us in the future.

By the way, there are more to our Faculty than these pictures have been able to record. We have several who dash in and out, here and there, two or three times a week. Miss Elsa Raner, Violinist, and Miss Riggs, Harpist, were added this year to the ever-growing Music Depa rtment. Also, believe it or not, there are several full grown men among these dashers-in-and-out, who come over from George Washington University, no less, to teach us history, philosophy, and psychology. As this copy goes off to the printer, we are still hoping to catch them in a last final group. So far our camera has not been speedy enough. Mr. Rice, Advisor to all our amateur treasurers, is also camera shy, but we hope to catch him with the above. Another new member of the music department, Miss Milliette (upper left) has added vocal color to our musical events this year. She makes her home at Gatesley with Mrs. Rickett and Miss Blakeslee. Incidently, the living room at Gatesley makes a delightful studio for Mrs. Rickett ' s piano students. Mrs. 11
