Mount Vernon Seminary Yearbook Cupola 1964

Today's educational s\stem offers opportunity- in
every fieldfor the ambitious student, but he is able
to achieve his goal onh' through the dedicated guidance
of those who are willing to teach him. Although
kno\\ ledge can be obtained from all of life's
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 belongs
to the faculty. Only through their enthusiasm
and ability is the student's 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 student
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 five major departments of Englisli,
history, language, mathematics, and science, combined
with more varied fields, enable each student
to de\'elop 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 interests,
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 Vernon's
faculty have given its students the opportunity
for a firm foundation for success.
