In admz3'atz'orz of thez? abzlity and hzgh ideals MRS. GEORGE W. LLoYD, Headmistress In 1928 the School stood on the outskirts of Washington, just off Ward Circle. Woods separated it from a busy, expanding city. It was in that year that Mrs. Lloyd came to Mount Vernon Seminary to teach mathematics. On the first day of the following school year a young man stood nervously smoking on campus. He was the first man to teach in this all girls' school. Suddenly an authoritative voice broke into his thoughts. A much older faculty member, wearing a boned, lace collar, tapped him on the shoulder and said, Young man, you are an experimentf, What a successful experiment! Thirty-two years later we know him as Dr. Lloyd, our beloved President. Soon the Lloyds became an integral part ofschool life and in 1937 Mr. Lloyd was the natural choice for President ofthe school. A year later Mrs. Lloyd became the Headmistress. On November 20, 1942, in the midst of the con- fusion caused by the Second World War, the Navy Department notified the School that they would have to take over the school property. To keep the School open seemed impossible, but Mr. and Mrs. Lloydls quiet determination to do so was contagious. Only one girl shipped her trunk home at Christmas. The Navy was to take possession in three weeks. Where could room for a boarding school be found in the hub of war activity? Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd did the impossible. Only six weeks after the Navy notice arrived the school moved into eleven new houses in Spring Valley. Classes were held on the second Hoor of Garfinckells Spring Valley store. Only cardboard walls could be procured to separate classrooms, a cow bell sounded to close each class, lunch was ten minutes away in the nearest house. But the girls enjoyed it. 6
