Dedicalirfzfz Frankness and complete sincerity command the respect of her students. Her delightful sense of humor animates an everyday lesson and makes her class one We anticipate. She brings a freshness of approach to her subject that finds surprise in the ordinary and points out the incongruities of everyday life. Her intelligence is founded firmly in understanding, and a sense of mathe- matical logic makes her impartial, critical, and open-minded. Her classroom emits bursts of laughter heard throughout the school, but she seldom laughs aloud and tries to keep a look of uno nonsensew that belies her joie de vivre. Vlfhile she takes the roll call, she is often seen in a pleated skirt, a pastel sweater, a strand of pearls. To the admired, appreciated, and dearly loved Marilyn Denton, the senior class dedicates the 1961 Thistledown- N. S. E. G. F.

fudem' Hrfuncil Every senior class makes its unique contribution to the school. The seniors of 1961 hope that they will be remembered as the class that started student government at Winchester Thurston. ln October the entire upper school took the following pledge: I pledge to uphold the ideals and good name of the school at all times. I shall do my best to be honest in my school work, and to be thoughtful of others, to respect the authority of the teachers and monitors, and to develop self-discipline. Sally Feland and Mary Alice Henninger were elected to head the student govern- ment and to enforce the rules set up by Student Council. Any new system needs time to become respected and effective. We have made mistakes with our honor system, but we are learning from our errors. We leave to the underclassmen this new system, believing that it will become a truly fine expression of democratic school government. E. G. F. FIRST ROW: C. Pearson, J. Barton, W. Obcrnauer, C.
