- , fZ:2 f.:':-1-: gli Mount Vernon We hail thee, majestic Mount Vernon, enshrined in the hearts of all As a Landmark of Liberty, Hope, and Peace, portrayed in each sturdy wall. Your stately mansion on a lofty bluff commands a wide, delightful view That retreats beyond the horizon in a hazy mist of blue. . The peaceful silence of river and forest, the songs of birds, the sun, Blended with the Howers' odor, have our hearts completely won. A vivid, alluring remembrance of Washington lurks in the setting- This sacred and beautiful spot a person is long in forgetting, The treasures which Washington owned and that were to him so dear Could not be in a more fitting place than one discovers here. We stand in reverence before theeg thy charm and fascination Will forever be, Mount Vernon, an enticing inspiration. - Margaret A. Lientz, A9

We're delighted to hear that Jean Harmon has taken up golf: her success so far has been-ah, well, please excuse me, while I cough! These artistic souls have our hearts completly won, and when speaking of them, we name Frances Isabel Harrington.
