Mount Vernon Seminary - Cupola Yearbook (Washington, DC)

We would like to say thank you • ■ ... to three people who have helped more on this year’s Cupola than any- one will ever know. It seems to us that credit is seldom given where it is due. This holds true with Sehorita Carroll our advisor, Mr. Duncan Brooks our photographer, and Mr. Carroll Hutton our printer; without them this yearbook would have been impossible, and yet they have received no apparent recognition. First we would like to say thank you to Sehorita. At the beginning of the year, she was the one who laboriously explained all the intricacies of editing a yearbook. From the moment we began until the last line was written she helped and encour- aged us in every way possible. As one of the most important parts of a year- book is the photography, we are very lucky to have Mr. Duncan Brooks as our photographer, who cheerfully came at any time to photograph our daily life series, as well as all of the group pictures. The person who actually puts Cupola together is our friendly printer Mr. Hutton, who explains the complexities of setting type and preparing the book for press. To all three our sincere appreciation. The Cupola Board.

At the first Cupola meeting • • , . . this year, there was cer- tainly no argument as to the one ro w r hom CUPOLA should be dedicated. 1 was dozing behind one of Sehoritas bookends when the subject of the dedication came up in a Board Meeting. The members of the Board were asked to bring suggestions to the next meeting, but as it turned out, the decision was made right then and there. Mam ' selle was the unanimous choice. Although I’m sure it seems longer to the Seniors, Mam ' selle has been their class advisor for only one year. But her quiet dignity, poise, and unfailing graciousness Je. •ui ' utt u; ■ :: irrmsi a c have assured a most successful year for the class of 1957. It would be hard to imagine a class meeting with- out Mam ' selle, sitting quietly in the corner, her sparkling brown eyes ardently following the discussions. She never says too much, but when she does, a hush comes over the room, so that everyone can hear what she has to say. Even though 1 don ' t take French from Mam ' selle, 1 love and admire her just as much as all the lucky girls who do. Her kind and helpful spirit just seems to rub off on everyone in school. So now you can see why there was so little discussion that day — and Cupola 1957 is proudly dedicated to our French teacher and beloved friend. Mademoiselle Jenny Bou nous.
