RECORDS BEING SET, KIRBY ELECTED
This year, the last that we v/ill
be "on the hill”, is a record one
for us. We have more students than
ever before and somehow they seem
to feel more enthusiasm than pre
viously. The Sophomores are so
enthusiastic, in fact, that during
class elections they turned in
more ballots than there are stur- :
dents.
The latest vote gave the Presi
dency to Elinor Kirby, a capable
redhead.
V/ith so many students we needed
new teachers, and we consider our
selves fortunate to be able to
welcome Mrs. Serota of the Biolo
gical Sciences and Mr, Houck of
the Chemistry Departments. We
sincerely hope they will love our
"college in a castle" as much as
we.

FROM THE SUMIT
The SUIiEIIT staff, headed by Jim
Daniels and associates Steve Pin
kerton and Amy Smith envision an
enlarged yearbook.
This week the SUIvMIT is sending
Amy to Ner York for the Columbia
Scholastic Press Association con
ference in order to learn better
techniques for the producti-n and
management of school annuals. She
v;ill also find out hovr we fared
in the *59 national competition.
Amy and faculty advisor Miss Mill
er hope to mix b ’.’siness with
pleasure and enjoy a feF of the
sights and famous restaurants of
gay New York.
The rest of the staff has turned
to ad sales to finance this pro
ject. Sales are going very well.
If you are v/illing to help sell,
see Jim or one of the members of
the staff.
DANGEROUS DESCENT
What v;ould you do if your brakes
failed on the trip down the mount
ain?
First, try using the emergency
brake or shifting to a lower gear.
If this can't be done^ sideswipe
some roadside object to slovr you.
As a last resort run into a
ditch or up a bank, but keep your
car from gaining momentum. It
would be impossible to make the
extreme curve at the bottom of
the mountain at full speed.
Scraped fenders are easier to
repair than a car that has been
rolled.
GET WELL
V/e regret that Peggy Birmingham
has been ill for the past two
weeks and is still out of school.
We hope she'll be back with us
very soon.
