Lloyd MESSAGE FROM THE HEADMISTRESS “. . . All the business of life is to find out what i ou don ' t know by what you do; that’s what I called ' guessing what was on the other side of the hilT” Duke of Wellington (Croker Papers 1885) These lines sum up in a telling way what these four years have meant to you and to those of us who have worked with you. We have been trying to help you find out what you don’t know by what you do. Sometimes in our satisfaction over what J we do, we forget that larger purpose — the revealing to us of what we don’t know. And now, a hillside is immediately ahead — the hillside we have been approaching together. No one of us knows what lies on the other side of the hill, but, as you pass round it, we hope and believe that you carry with you the equipment to meet whatever it may be — high- hearted courage, a sense of values, the love of learning for its own sake, the willingness to try and fail if needs be — and try again. A visitor to the little Scottish Island of Iona talked of her trip to her old gardener when she returned to the mainland. “Ah,” she said, “Iona is a very thin place. There is very little between Iona and the Lord.” This gift we pray may also be yours, a sense of the nearness and reality of God. May you find the land on the other side of the hill a very thin place, and mav vou know that there is very little between the new country which is to be yours and the Lord. Our love goes with you all — gratitude for what we have shared together and a prayer that you will find the other side of the hill a sunny and blessed place in w hich to grow and live. 3 INTRODUCTION The motto of Mount Vernon Seminary is the Latin inscription, “Vincit jui se vincit. “he conquers who conquers self.” This motto plays a very important part in the life of each person at Mount Vernon. Success in any P i. ase of school activity depends largely upon a comprehension and observance of the ideas in this motto. For this reason it has been chosen for the theme of the 1959 yearbook. To conquer ones self is a large demand, an accomplishment that takes many years of effort; but the foundation of that accomplishment is laid at school through the series of even-day events in which everyone takes part. A conquering of one ' s self requires an under- standing of one ' s strengths and weaknesses, and the desire to live and work harmoniously with one’s fellow human beings. As each girl meets the obli- gations and undertakes the tasks presented to her at Mount Vernon, she discovers many of her capa- bilities and limitations. And in associating closely with students and teachers, she learns the impor- tance of showing them sympathy and understanding, and of always being able to offer and receive assist- ance and advice. In the introductory section of each part of this yearbook is shown the way in which the motto pertains to sections of school life and to the people who make them up. 4 DEDICATION We wish to express our sincere appreciation to the Student Council of Mount Vernon Seminary in its efforts to uphold the standards of the school. By outlining the Honor Code, the Student Council has sought to bring a clearer understanding and a more complete knowledge of its purpose, thereby g aining the greater support of the student body. In student body meetings and assemblies the Council has urged active and constructive partici- pation concerning the observance of regulations, in order to stimulate a greater interest among the students in the creation of a finer school. It is a goal each year to establish the Student Council more firmly as an effective and democratic part of our government, so that it may enjoy full cooperation and respect. OUR ADVISORS We wish to express our sincere gratitude to Mademoiselle Bounous who has helped to make this last and most important year at Mount Vernon one to be remembered with happiness and satisfaction. With patience, dignity, and understanding she has eased 11s over the troubled spots during the year. With her support and advice we were able to give a Junior-Senior party and a Valentine Dance, both of which we are certain were considered suc- cessful. “Mademoiselle” dealt with all of our prob- lems perceptively and thoughtfully and has been present when we have needed help. In addition to being a wonderful advisor, how- ever, she has taught French to many of us during our years at Mount Vernon. Through gentle, vet firm words from “Mademoiselle” we were encouraged to work hard and to do our best in her classes. We are thankful to Mrs. Jenney, who helped our class establish itself in our freshman year, and to M iss Miller, who guided us through the next two years. Mademoiselle Bounous But, most of all, we are grateful to “Mademoiselle” for being a sincere and understanding friend and advisor to all of 11s. 5 CAMPUS Mount Vernons campus, with its in- formal grace and congenial atmosphere, is the setting for the endless and varied experiences that lead to a more complete understanding of ones self, an under- standing enhanced In reflection upon the activities, ideas, and people that flourish within the schools boundaries. Acheson Hall and the academic building provide opportunity for the conquering of ignor- ance, intolerance, and mental laziness; as the dances, athletics, assemblies and chapel services in Lloyd Hall bring a fuller appreciation of organization, social congeniality, sportsmanship, and wor- ship. Knowing ones self cannot be ac- complished without human sympathy and companionship, qualities to be de- veloped and practiced within the dormi- tories, Refectory, and Field House. Mount Vernon s compact and self-con- tained campus encompasses a fast mov- ing little world of questions, decisions, and challenges that leave the individual with the basic understanding of herself necessary to conquer successfully the more demanding problems of later life.

Through both class and individual instruc- tion and advice, the faculty offer every oppor- tunity for the development of intellectual curi- osity and the framing of ones thoughts in a broadminded and intelligent way. In the forming of these ideas, the student is encour- aged by her instructors to investigate many fields of knowledge and to learn more about those who have helped in the past and are helping in the present to make an interesting world. By encouraging a knowledge and appraisal of the thoughts and accomplishments of man- kind, the Mount Vernon faculty give their stu- dents greater insight into their own natures that they may better comprehend the present and prepare themselves for the future.

As leaders, they themselves must practice constant self-discipline in order to set an admirable example for others. They must learn to accept the responsibilities of their offices with humility, and must strive to guide not as dictators but as counsellors with an attitude of firm but sympathetic authority. The student body in its turn learns the importance of showing respect and support for the government as well as asserting their right to amend or improve upon it. Through the Honor Code, each student is given the oppor- tunity to prove her trustworthiness and sense of honor as she faithfully observes it herself and attempts to uphold it among her associates. The members of both branches of Mount Vernons Student Government, the leaders and the followers, gain a fuller understanding of themselves through their efforts to fulfill these individual obligations to their school. s CONSTITUTION Article I The name of the council shall he the Student Council of Mount Vernon Seminary. Article II Section 1. The purpose of the Council shall be to interpret the needs and the opinion of the student body, to establish and maintain standards of citizen- ship which the student bodv will follow, and to recommend to the faculty rules and changes sug- gested and supported bv the student bodv. Section 2. The duties of the Council are to set an example for the school by sincerely trying to carry out all regulations and thus earning the right to en- force them, to make clear w hat is expected of each student so that we max live in closer understanding and harmony, and to be the judicial body of the school. This last includes seeing that the rules are obeyed, trying to find out win a certain rule is disobeyed, and, if necessary, disciplining the offend- ers (with the consent of the Headmistress and the Administration). Another duty is to orient new stu- dents. This includes appointing a student advisor for the first form until they have officers of their ow n. being hostesses at an introductory party for the new students, and being personally responsible for the new students, seeing that they become ac- quainted w ith the school. During the fall of each school year, the Student Council will present the Honor Assembly, at w hich time students w ill pledge their loyalty to the honor code of Mount Vernon by signing the Honor Pledge. Other duties are to nominate candidates for the citizenship honor rolls, to attend all student and school functions possible in order to promote more interest, to enforce dress reg- ulations, to maintain order in the study hall and library, to maintain order in chapel, to assist extra- curricular activities if they desire the Councils help, and to read and be responsible for living up to the constitution. Article III Section 1. The members of the council shall be: the Student Body President, the President of Op- tima, a student body representative (elected from the first three forms), and the president and vice- president of each of the four forms. Section 2. The Headmistress of the preparatory school shall be an honorary member of the council. Section 3. The Student Body President shall be the presiding officer, and the Optima President shall preside in h er absence. The Student Body Repre- sentative shall be the secretary and treasurer. Section 4.

The Head- mistress, has veto power. Article IV The Council shall have as many meetings a month as necessary.

STUDENT COUNCIL To help the students understand and maintain the citizenship rules and standards is the main func- tion of Mount Vernon’s Student Council. The Coun- cil also sees that these rules are obeyed and, when necessary, revised. The size of the Student Council has increased this year with the addition of the President of the Day Students and the President of House Council. The other members are the presidents and vice- presidents of each class, President of Optima, stu- dent body representative, and the President of the Student Body, who this year was Nancy Barnes. Tlie Council ' s advisor is Miss Gutheim. These council members have many duties through- out the year. At the beginning of the year they come back a day early to help orient the new boarders to Mount Vernon and Mount Vernon life. Thev are hostesses to visitors to our school. Also, after each report period, it is the duty of the Student Council with the help of class advisors to nominate candi- dates for the citizenship lists. It is the ultimate hope of the Student Council that each student will realize the responsibility of being a good citizen and will maintain the principles of Mount Vernon Seminarv. 21 HOUSE COUNCIL “Oh, the house regulations are so strict! How will I ever learn to follow the rules?” These are the usual complaints of all the new boarders, but with the help of the members of the House Council the rules concerning dress, room inspection, quiet hours, study hall, permissions, and visitors have before long become second nature to them. The House Council is composed of a chairman, secretary, and five student proctors appointed at the end of each report period. This past year the chairman has been Duch Morton and the secretary, Rudy Borland. Throughout the year the Council holds house meetings in which all the boarders discuss the gen- eral behavior and the restrictions for students who have failed to abide by the rules. On the lighter side, the House Council is responsible for giving parties. The Shipwreck at the beginning of the year and the festive Christmas party were held by the Council. Peace and quiet in the dorms at the right times has been successfully maintained by this years hard working House Council members with the coopera- tion of all the boarders. HUiSUk Left to right: Ann Goldsmith, Janis Wellin, Page Cannon, Sne Campbell, Rudy Borland, Secretary; Duch Morton, President; Mrs. MacDougall, Advisor; Sandy Wolff.

MESSAGE FROM THE STUDENT BODY PRESIDENT Dear Student Body, It is always so difficult to realize that another year has found its end. And yet, to think back on the year, it seems so filled with busy moments and happy memories that it can never truly end. The most lasting impressions of any one year are its accomplishments. This year, like each preceding one, has been filled with its share. In my opinion the most important accomplishment of this year was the alteration in the manner in which the Honor Code was accepted. For the previous two years all the girls who felt they were capable of accepting the responsibility placed upon them by the Code signed it. But this year, in keeping with the ideal that Mount Vernon girls are competent enough to realize and abide by the principles set forth in the Code, it was acknowledged and ac- cepted bv each of us as tradition. I think possibly a better definition of the Honor Code would be a yardstick to measure our growth in character as determined by our degree of compliance with the Code. I feel that by accepting the Code, without the pageant of signing to instill its importance, we have not only strengthened it immeasurablv, but also our own sense of responsibility. Each year we live and learn and in such a wav mature into young women with high ideals, if not initiated, then sup- plemented, at Mount Vernon. I feel also that our revised citizenship standards have inspired all of us to do our utmost to become an asset to the school, our friends and families, and our community. May 1 take this opportunity to thank you all for one of the most worthwhile and rewarding years of my life. Without your support and co-operation progress in any direction is impossible. Thus, may I thank each of you for your assistance in making this a profitable year for all concerned. The memories gathered here would fill a volume for happy read- ing in the years to come when we are no longer in constant daily contact with Mount Vernon. I know that I shall never forget the happy times, lasting friendships, and unforgettable experiences. These things, and all of you, are the things I shall remem- ber at Mount Vernon. May I wish you all the best possible in the future years, and may you be successful in all you en- deavor to do. As always. To be a senior is looked forward to by the Mount Vernon underclassmen with great ex- pectation and a little awe. There is pride and satisfaction in becoming the leaders of the school and in meeting the demand for maturity and conviction. Senior year is a turning point in the journey towards self-knowledge, a journey that has brought together many of the threads of ones ambitions. The senior is beginning to realize where her strengths and weaknesses lie and has started the exciting task of planning for her future. But, having reached this goal, she must continue the journey, for with adolescence con- quered, the new and greater demands of adult- hood come quickly. If she has successfully met the challenges of the past four years however, and has attempted to master herself during this time, it is certain that she will understand and conduct herself as an industrious and re- flective adult.

When Jo is not doing homework or driving her Impala, she is probably on a college weekend. Little Jo is a big part of 59.

As they strive to do what is expected of them, they are developing into mature and dependable individuals, prepared to meet all of life’s demands.

The class of 1960 has proved itself seaworthy in all respects, and promises to sail into Mount Vernon history with full honors. 47 SOPHOMORE CLASS Form II, adding the enthusiasm of its new mem- bers to the loyalty of its old, is a gay and capable group. Their originality and energy were demon- strated in the sophomore class project, a Slave Auc- tion, where their many talents and a day of their time were auctioned off to swell the class treasury.

FRESHMAN CLASS Take twenty-five brand new girls, blondes and brunettes, all wondering what lies ahead in the coin- ing year; break them up into little groups and let them settle; add a large dash of school spirit; take the energy and enthusiasm of the class advisor, Mrs. Griffith, and von come up with a Freshman class worthy of Mount Vernon’s traditions. Following this recipe for a successful year, the Freshman class of 62 got started at Mount Vernon. Their project, a variety show, was a great success. We are glad to have this class with us and hope that it will continue to add its cheerfulness and spirit to the life of M.V.S. in the years to come. 49 CURRICULUM The courses of study available to the stu- dents at Mount Vernon are varied, and the concentration necessary to a mastery of them brings the self-discipline and respect for ac- complishment that is a major part of conquer- ing one ' s self. After one lias learned to study well enough so that she can rise above the mechanics of a subject, she is free to concentrate on the pur- pose of the course and its importance to her own mental development. This ability to analyze brings out many unknown interests and latent abilities, giving the individual an in- valuable knowledge of her capabilities. Study is probably the most important factor in the understanding and development of ones character; for it fires the imagination, strength- ens weak convictions, alters firm ones for the better, and leaves no room for complacency and self-satisfaction. CHAPEL Every morning the day is begun with a chapel service in Lloyd Hall led by a student or a faculty member. For a few minutes we join together to praise God and gain inspiration for facing a new day. CHEMISTRY Scientific knowledge and learning by experimen- tation teach inductive reasoning which w ill be ap- plied to daily life. For those who are interested in a scientific future, chemistry gives a sound basis for later study. ENGLISH The principles of grammar and the riches of literature are taught in our English classes. Many of us are sur- prised to find that the study of famous poets and novelists is fascinating. We also learn to express our own ideas in writing as well as to understand the great works of literature. 52 HISTORY Here vve learn about the past and its relation to the present. Thus, by study- ing the events in history we can better comprehend and solve the problems of today in order that we may be pre- pared for the future. HALL The halls are the main thoroughfares of a busy and active school. On the bulletin boards are posters and notices, illustrating the many activities of the student body. The chattering of the girls between classes is a good example of a bustling day. LUNCH The refectory is the busiest place on the campus when we gather between morning and afternoon classes to have lunch. Laughter and conversation keep the dining room buzzing as we compare mornings, read mail, and generally echo the spirit of the day. 53 ART The Art Show, in which the efforts of the art stu- dents are exhibited, climaxes a year of study in sculpture and painting. For the students taking these courses, there is the deep satisfaction gained from creating. FOODS To become familiar with the mysteries of home- making is the aim of the courses in foods and family living. We receive important benefits from these classes and find that knowledge is accompa- nied by enjoyment and achievement. LIBRARY The library is the hub of the academic activity. With a seemingly limitless source of stimulating reading material, research work is made more inter- esting and reading for pleasure is encouraged. 54 SPORTS Sports are an integral part of school life and pro- vide fun and action as well as school spirit. Outdoor and indoor sports appeal to everyone, but while enjoying this exercise, the students also learn sports- manship and physical co-ordination. FIELD HOUSE The Field House is the most popular spot on the campus. It is the meeting place for the students and faculty alike, where they can relax with friends while listening to music or eating. WEST DOOR The west door is the best known entrance in the school, for here each day we pass, going to and from classes. Even on week-ends industrious students are found entering this door on their way to the library. 55 ACTIVITIES Whether it lx caring for children, decorat- ing for a dance or working to meet a publish- er’s deadline, one has a good chance to work closely with many people. An understanding of one’s self and of others stems basically from this association. The various activities in which everyone at Mount Vernon participates are the setting for such understanding. By taking part in these activities one learns the spirit of co-operation necessary for working towards the goal of the organization. If the work on any activity be- comes trying, we may have to practice self- discipline, for no matter how much we enjoy working there is bound to be some drudgery. The joy and pleasure of working hard for an activity rewards one with a great sense of satisfaction. Also, by knowing what we enjoy doing, we can better understand what type of work we may some day wish to pursue further.

Actually, Optima is not just an honor society, for in order to become eligible for membership a student must demonstrate that she is a good citizen as well as a good scholar. In keeping with such requirements the object and purpose of the club is to support, maintain, and strengthen an appreciation of high scholarship and citizenship standards. The Greek letter Omega and a lighted torch make up the tiny, gold pin worn by all members. The former indicates attainment through effort; the lat- ter represents the inspiration that Optima’s ideals should represent in the school. Throughout the year Optima members are hard at work on projects such as acting as official host- esses during the autumn visit of the Alumnae Coun- cil, entertaining visiting assembly speakers, and giving a Christmas party for the children of the Friendship House. The club consists of a president, Marta Miller; a secretary-treasurer, Charlotte Wallis; the advisor, Mrs. Lloyd; an honorary member, Miss Gutheim; and a group of active, enthusiastic members. 58 CHAPEL GUILD Each and every day before the start of classes, Mount Vernon students and faculty members gather together to worship God in a non-denominational chapel service. The organization which helps to make this service possible is the Chapel Guild. Its purpose is to bring an awareness of God into the daily life of each student. The main responsibility of the Guild, as a student organization, is the preparation for morning chapel. Members of the student body and the faculty share in leading the services. The Guild is also responsible for the garlands of fruit which are placed on the chapel altar at Thanksgiving and later given to the Washington Home for Incurables. Last year through the efforts of the Guild, a small chapel room was dedicated in our school. Here the student may spend a few moments in meditation whenever she wishes. The Chapel Guild’s contributions to our daily lives through morning chapel have provided each one of us with inspiration that lasts throughout the day.

Second row: Ann Warren, Liz Cheatham, Mr. Kleindorfer, Advisor. With this new school year came a new look to our school’s newspaper. Cellophane. The full, easy-to- read pages, along with a new column describing one of the latest movies, were enthusiastically received bv all the students. The old columns ( the gossip column, the teacher and student of the month, sport news, and current events ) were somewhat revised. Our school’s news was expertly covered by the large newspaper staff headed by the editor-in-chief, Doris Dezendorf, and advised by Mr. Kleindorfer. The editorials written by Doris were interesting and thought-provoking. Throughout the newspaper, also, were jokes, which made even the most serious students laugh. By living up to the motto of Cellophane y ' ‘it wraps up the news,” the staff has produced an entertaining and newsworthy paper. 60 CAROUSEL It is quite a thrill to see your name in print under a poem, essay, or shor t story that you have written. This is made possible bv Mount Vernons literary publication, Carousel. The magazine is edited by the English V class, which selects from the works of student contributors the best writing done at Mount Vernon during the year. One usually receives the Carousel the last week of school, and many delight- ful moments are spent thumbing through the maga- zine and enjoying its contents. It is often surprising to find the work of some friend who you never realized before could write so well. The appear- ance of your own work also comes as a complete surprise. If you enjov writing, whether it be essays, letters, poems or short stories, present them to the English V class. Who knows. Carousel could mean the beginning of a literary carrer for you!

Cupola, our school yearbook, is issued each year in the hope that it w ill portray a true picture of life at Mount Vernon for the benefit of others as well as ourselves. The work of editing Cupola is divided among four groups: the art, business, literary, and photog- raphy staffs which are headed by four capable chairmen and directed by an Editor-in-Chief, who this year was Mary Drew Preston. The assistance of Srta. Carroll as Advisor has proved invaluable in the preparation of the 1959 yearbook. The entire staff of Cupola hopes that the 1959 yearbook lives up to the expectations of you, its reader. PHOTOGRAPHY STAFF — First row , left to right : Suzy Starr, Cissy Lanier.

Maybe this is a different call than the usual one, but this year the Prep Players chose, after many discussions, “Alice in Wonder- land” as their sole production. Everyone tried out for the part she wanted but even if she didn ' t get it, working on such a large project gave everyone a chance to participate. Some time was also spent studying the various phases of theater production. The members of Prep Players all agree that the play could not have gone on without the capable assistance of Mrs. Heflin, their advisor, and Ginger Carnduff, their President. When the curtain came down, the members were happy, proud, and re- lieved, but somewhat sad that their production had come to an end. Now every member is enthusi- astically looking froward to another as enjoyable as “Alice in Wonderland ' First row , left to right: Joan Brown, Carolyn Preston, Grace Bell, Ginny Heron.

A regular function of Glee Club is singing at the Sunday evening Vesper service presented in Lloyd Hall. In addition to this, it presented two concerts during the school year: a Christmas program and one in conjunction with the Valley Forge Military Academy. It also participated in the production of “Alice in Wonderland” and in the Baccalaureate Service. One of the special features of the Glee Club this year was the successful presentation of a beautiful Christmas program. The theme of the program was the tw elve months of the year. The white chiffon dresses worn In the members were ornamented according to the seasons and many of the songs which were sung were in keeping with this theme. A musical score of the traditional Christmas songs brought the program to a close. With the help of Madame Brodenova, the director, Mr. Laufman, the accompanist and Pam Simpson, the President, this years Glee Club has functioned efficient!} ' and produced very enjoyable programs.

Miss Millar, Advisor, Nancy Durand, President; Carol Cousins, Cinny Heron. Absent: Marco Dickson, Beverly Elson. Something new and different, that was the theme for this year’s Social League. The League gave three dances during the year: the Halloween Welcome Dance, the Christmas Formal, and the Commence- ment Dance. A day student and a hoarder were chosen from each class to help plan these dances. The Welcoming Dance, “the Octoberfest,” was a square dance. The gym was gaily decorated in a barn motif. The center of attraction was a stall with two paper mache horses watching the festiv ities. The setting for the Christmas Dance, “The Snow - flake Fantasy”, included a light blue and white canopy with frosty snowflakes dangling from the center. The beautiful room and the excellent band made this evening one of the most memorable of the holiday season. The Commencement Dance, Almost Paradise,” with a beautiful rose canopy set the stage for truly an unforgettable night, especially for the Seniors. We are indebted to the Social League for plan- ning and preparing something new and different” for our dances. 66 LEND-A ' HAND Through hard work for others, a great sense of satisfaction is achieved. This idea is the basis of the Mount Vernon social service organization, Lend-A- Hand. With Sue Neuenschwander as President and Miss Ayers and Miss Hadley as Advisors, this past year has been gratifying to all the girls who have ener- getically participated in the club’s activities. Whether it be caring for children at the George- town Neighborhood House, working at the Wash- ington Hospital Center, collecting food and clothing for Saint Patrick’s Church, taking a nurse’s aid course, or the many other phases of social work, am Mount Vernon girl is sure to find work in which she is interested. Lend-A-Hand also supports a Greek orphan with monthly checks, clothes, and gifts. Aside from the experiences of social work, every member of Lend-A-Hand learns the pleasure of giving. L«wen.

If you need help in finding books or magazines, or in looking up information in the library, be sure to seek advice from a member of our Library Coun- cil. She will cheerfully locate what you need. The Council is composed of a group of girls who have volunteered for working experience in the library. From their duties these girls receive valuable train- ing in many phases of library work. They keep books and magazines in order, prepare new books for cir- culation, and arrange new displays for the bulletin boards. Besides this experience, the girls are treated to two parties a year and are excused from paying fines. Then, too, they receive personal satisfaction from assisting fellow students and knowing that they are helping the library to run as smoothly as possible. Thanks to our Library Council with JoAnna Kern as President, Mrs. Wood and Miss Thomas as our Librarians, we can be proud of our modern library and the efficient way it is managed. 68 Founder s Day AUTUMN ACTIVITIES Thanksgiving Vespers f 9 ATHLETICS By taking part in school athletics, w hether as a member of the team or of the cheering squad, one learns the purpose of friendly competition and works to develop and display a sense of good sportsmanship and fair play. This effort is an important step towards knowing one s self, for through it one sees her- self as a single person among many who are working towards greater friendship and under- standing. It is a recognition that produces cheerful losers as well as winners. By promptness to team meetings and games, and by showing enthusiasm for every phase of athletics, one discovers the extent of her loyalty not merely to a team but to the friends who make it up. An understanding of the ideal of friendly competition is a preparation for the future competitions in which one will find herself throughout life.

Hockey, basketball, tennis, softball — these are the keynotes of the activities of our Athletic Association, which fosters and encourages team and school spirit. What student w ill ever forget the thrill of our A. A. picnic, w hen all new girls become members of the Yellow or White team; or the excitement of Posture W eek? At this time, besides competition in good posture, each team uses the literary, artistic, dra- matic, and musical ability of its members to com- pete for points through songs, poems, skits, slogans, and posters. Spring brings intra-murals, at which time all stu- dents are given a chance to show ability and sports- manship. Then comes the annual A. A. Banquet. At this time individual and team awards are given out and the new team captains are announced. Through varied activities the A. A. has contributed to the schools loyalty and made our athletic pro- gram more exciting. 72 CHEERLEADERS First row , left to right: Doris Dezendorf, Betsy Thompson, Barbara Beeler, Rudy Borland.

In doing so, they have learned to approach potential supporters in an efficient way and have been given the opportunity to present themselves and their ideas con- vincingly. Those who have worked on the business staff of Cupola have had to overcome a re- luctance to do many of the tedious jobs con- nected with raising money, such as typing and retyping the hundreds of form letters and working on the files. These assignments have been a test in perseverance that has helped them towards the conquest of self. The editors of this yearbook, the business staff members, and those who have solicited advertisements have gained greater self-disci- pline and understanding by patiently fulfilling their duties for the success of the 1959 Cupola.

But the history books will tell you that it is quality which survives the acid test of time. Like fine music and art, fine printing will have a lasting appeal. The discerning individual will recognize the quality of a PRIDEMARK product.
