Todayis educational system offers opportunity in every field for the ambitious student, but he is able to achieve his goal only through the dedicated guid- ance of those who are willing to teach him. Al- though knowledge can be obtained from all of lifeis everyday experiences, the major foundation for this learning lies in the classroom. Both teachers and students must be endowed with willingness and perseverance, although the major responsibility be- longs to the faculty, Only through their enthusiasm and ability is the studentis interest captured and held. The process of learning becomes more than the memorizing of facts and figures, it becomes an exciting experience which relates all the discoveries of the universe to one another. It provides the stu- dent with new ideals and realizations which give her the incentive and inspiration to build the future. Mount Vernon has been exceptionally fortunate in this respect. Its Eve major departments of English, history, language, mathematics, and science, com- bincd with more varied fields, enable each student to develop her interests in unfamiliar subjects and increase her knowledge in familiar ones. Because the classes are small, individual attention may be shown to every girl, developing further her inter- ests, her knowledge, and her character. Every girl will remember her teachers as persons on whom she could always rely to help her with her problems, both academic and personal. In this way the unfailing support, the admirable devotion, and the excellent ability of Mount Ver- non's faculty have given its students the opportunity for a firm foundation for success.
