The decade just passed has been one of growth and progress for the city and for its school system. The foundation of a splendid educational system was laid upon which greater accomplishments could be realized. Much of the credit for the progress in the building of a superior educational system should be given to Irvin H. Schmitt, Division Superintendent. His is an enviable record of achievement. Since coming to Falls Church in 1949, his efforts have been untiring in the shaping, molding, building of a school system based on sound educa- tional philosophy, high ideals and practical management. Under Mr. Schmitt’s guidance the George Mason High School and the Mount Daniel Elementary School were built; the Thomas Jefferson Elementary School was acquired from Fairfax County and enlarged; and the Madison Elementary School received extensive alterations. The Mustang Staff believes that no yearbook should be dedicated to an individual unless that individual has an outstanding record of accomplishment. We feel that such recognition of Mr. Schmitt is long overdue. His quest for better educational opportunities for us has been an inspiration to us all. It is with pride that we dedicate this, the I960 Mustang, to MR. IRVIN H. SCHMITT.

Gibson, Mr. John Sadtler, Mr. Bernard Russell, Mr. Frank Acosta. Few corporate or executive bodies have a greater responsibility to the public than the school board of a community. It must super- vise the public school system and is held ac- countable for the education of the communi- ty’s youth. The success of an educational program depends in great part upon the degree in which board members assume their duties and carry out their responsibilities. Falls Church is fortunate in having a school board composed of members dedicated to the task of providing good schools for the education of Falls Church young people. Not only are the board members interested in providing good schools, but they seek to ac- complish thL goal by giving amply of their time, effort anc wisdom. 10 Odose Wfio Quide Us On Our Quest Ode Oaculty “And Godfrey had caused to he gathered about him those who had acquired knowledge in all branches of learning and conduct in order that less privileged might benefit by their presence. And over these he presided and instructed them to teach the lesser and more youthful.

MAHONEY, Principal A.B., Emory and Henry College M.Ed., University of Virginia University of Richmond Although this is Mr. Mahoney’s first year as principal of George Mason, his friendliness, his interest and participation in school activi- ties and his willingness to devote time and energy to the task of making George Mason a better school have earned him the respect of the students, as well as the fac- ulty.

Guidance Coordinator Co-Sponsor: National Honor Society Guidance Whether the student’s prob- lem is large or small, the guidance department always has the welcome sign out to any student of George Mason seeking advice or counsel. Even though the office space is limited, there is a constant hum of activity in this busy place. Indeed this is not the limit to the activity, for these staff members leave their offices from time to time to test students in the cafeteria or the classrooms. When these staff members are not coun- seling, conducting confer- ences, testing students, mail- ing progress reports, prepar- ing the honor roll, furnishing transcripts of grades, enroll- ing student transfers, or cor- responding with colleges, they find time to prepare for a col- lege day, a career day or the honors banquet. “There is always time for one more.” Mr. Tawney finds time in his busy day to advise Sue Levin about the college she is to attend next year. 14 JOE CRAIN B.S., Milligan College; M.A., George Washingto n Univer- sity; Baylor Univ.; Univ. of Virginia Physical Education Driver Education Athletic Director Sponsor: Sophomore Class sic a Sducation MRS.

JACKLYN MARSH B.S., Auburn University Physical Education Physical Education Pericles once said of the Athenians, “They are lov- ers of wisdom without loss of manly vigor.” George Mason is proud of its phy- sical education program which has endeavored to furnish the complement, vigor — or physical develop- ment, to the intellectual quest of the student. How- ever, this is but a part of the physical education goal. Its teachers strive to com- municate to the student rules of good health, to im- part a knowledge of the human body and its func- tions, and to engender a spirit of sportsmanship in all game competitions. Visual aids are used by Mrs. Lanier in her health education class in teaching the human anatomy. 15 Mr. McClellan’s world history class uses the maps to locate countries they have been studying.

MARTHA CUSHING QUAM B.A., University of Col- orado Latin Social Studies The aim of the social studies pro- gram is to create an appreciation and understanding of man’s heritage as reflected in the study of history; to stimulate an interest and understand- ing of the American system of govern- ment; and to give an insight of man — his environment and his culture. Languages The teachers of languages at George Mason are aware of the importance of the language program and have in- tensified the course ol study this year in order to keep pace with a changing wond. Language barriers have no place among nations — particularly nations that are dependent upon one another in their economic, cultural and political growth, the language teachers have the responsibility of imparting basic language skills that may be the founda- tion for future mastery of the lan- guage. In addition the teachers ac- quaint the students with the customs and cultures of the countries whose native language is being taught in the classroom. Students in Mrs. Quam’s Latin classes often find themselves in circles, literally, for she discovers this method of learn- ing is very effective, since students can help one another.

This is one of the reasons that English teachers are busy teachers. Their duties are many and diversified, for they must develop student skills in composition, gram- mer, literature, spelling, word recognition and oral expression. That their ef- forts do not go unrewarded is evidenced in the recent successes in the literary con- tests, forensic contests and the quality of the school newspaper and magazine. “This is where Juliet stood in the balcony scene,” Mrs. Wildman points out the seven stages of the Globe Theatre to members of her senior English class.

Today, in the age of Sputniks, it might be more truthful to say that science and mathematics teach- ers affect eternity, for upon their shoulders rests the gravest of responsibility. Much of America’s future is in their hands. How well they meet to- day’s challenge is one indication of the success of the school program. George Mason has attempted to meet the challenge by offering additional courses in these subjects. Futhermore, many of the teach- ers of these subjects have attempted to meet the challenge by self-improvement through attendance at summer workshops sponsored by the federal gov- ernment. The 1959 Science Fair was an indication of the strides made in these areas. STANLEY 0. DELLINGER B.S., Madison College Algebra Plane Geometry Sponsor: Student Council Assc., Senior Class C. S.

These courses furnish the student with a cultural enrich- ment that is essential to his high school education. Although mastery in the arts represented here is sought, the basic aims are to develop an appreciation and understanding of these arts as well as skills in the participation in them. Closely allied with the classroom activities are the following co - curricular functions that are an outgrowth of the class- room activities : woodwork and metal- craft exhibitions, art exhibitions, homemaking exhibitions, vocal and instrumental concerts (four concerts were presented this school year), art work for school publications and scenic art design for plays and social functions. 23 tone Knights tjtie Senior Class “And after the keeping of the vigil, he again went in the chapter and kneeling down, he teas asked three times if he still desired to enter the order, and replying in the affirmative, the Master of the Temple took the sword and laid it three times on his shoulder, saying as he did so, ‘In the name of God, St. Michael and St. George, I make thee knight,’ and admitted him to the vows, a nd pledged him in body, honour, and estate, to defend his brothers-in-arms as he himself would henceforth be de- fended.” 24 Cronique de Bohun Glpp r ea, s Kr, okd er S eniov GM gec ret 25 AMELIA J.

George Mason is truly proud of these seniors — not only do they reflect honor upon themselves and George Mason by scoring in the upper ninetieth percentile in the nationwide testing program, but they represent the largest group within a senior class ever to receive this distinction at George Mason High School. 48 Senior Superlatives “High grades are the result of hard work.

Bud does all the repair work needed on his car. Here, as usual, we see him leaving for school a few minutes after eight o’clock in the morning. Bud, like some other G M students, brings his lunch to school. He eats with the other students in the cafeteria and supplements his meal with milk that he purchases from the cafeteria. Bud and other seniors in the sixth period phy- sics class, watch Mr. Jawish solve a physics problem that had the class “stumped”. Bud rises early every school day. He says that doing this gives him an opportunity to do any homework he may have failed to do. He manages to read the sports page of the paper at the breakfast table be- tween bites of his favorite cereal, corn flakes. 54 Sypica Senior Bud Roed er Bud, who is president of the school body, pre- sides at one of the regularly scheduled Wednesday student council meetings. After a rriving home from school at four o’clock in the afternoon, Bud usually starts working on his homework before dinner since his evening time may be taken up with activities at the school. Bud finds that his best time for re- laxation is after the evening meal. And what better way to relax than with a sports magazine to read. It goes without saying that he is an avid sports fan. At school he partici- pates in track — the 100 yard and 220 yard dash being his specialty. Home from school again at nine forty- five p.m., Bud re-reads a letter he received in the days mail — a letter postmarked “Richmond”. Before turn- ing-in for the night, he answers the letter and walks to the mailbox to post the letter so that it will go out on the early morning mail pickup. One of the student council projects this year was to paint the public address booth. Here, we see Bud and Penny Coleman hard at work on this project. The project was com- pleted during the even- ing. Nothing seems quite so final for these seniors as they prepare themselves for the exercise that culminates years of hard work.

Senior Class Activity 9n 2959-1960 The Senior Class of 1960 can best be described as an active class — active in scholastic achievement, for their academic record has been good, and active in co-curricular activities and school social functions. During this school year the class’s outstanding achievement has been in the field of contributions. The biggest contribution they made was perhaps the one hundred and ten dollars taken from class funds that they sent to CARE. In addition another check was sent to the American Field Service to help out in the student exchange program. Not to be outdone by other classes in the school, they were the high contributors in the Christmas food drive for needy families. As other senior classes have done in past years, they left an appropriate gift to the school before being graduated. The main class activity during the school year was the planning and execution of the homecoming day, which began with a parade and ended with a waltz. Furthermore, they presented an entertaining class night program in the spring. The Senior Class of 1960 has had a full and rewarding year — a year which, at the end, finds George Mason a better school than when the year began. ERV ' .KG Class ring and Adrianna get together. Laura Carlo, Senior Class President, fits Adrianna Sica, George Mason’s exchange student, for her class ring.

Milan — an industrial and cultural city set apart from other Italian cities such as Rome, Venice, ajid Naples, by its modern ap- pearance — is perhaps best known by its cathedral, The Milan Cathe- dral; its opera house, the Scala Theater; and its art, daVinci’s “The Last Supper.” I came from a middle class home, and my father is a doctor. I attended a typical lyceum school before coming to the United States as an A.F.S. exchange student. My special interest in school is the study of literature. Out of school, my interests and activities are devoted to outdoor pursuits such as swimming, ice skating and skiing. I am especially fond of my American family, Mr. and Mrs. Tharp. The many friends I have made and the wonderful impres- sions and memories I have of the United States are, and will be, a source of pleasure to me. induction party.

And so Sir Launcelot thrust in among the party of the castle, and smote down a knight, horse and man, to earth. And then he rashed here and there, and did marvellous deeds of arms. And then he drew out his sword, and struck many knights to the earth, so that all those that saw him marvelled that ever one knight might do so great deeds of arms.” Sir Thomas Malory Despite its somewhat mediocre re- cord, we at George Mason feel that the 1959 Mustang squad was much better than its record shows. The squad, which was smaller than usual, was greatly hampered by injuries as well as by very bad weather. Despite these prob- lems, the spirit of the team, as well as that of the student body, never failed. Of the foyr losses the Mustangs suffer- ed, only one was to a league team, and they were runners up to Herndon, the league champions.

The Mustangs opened the season in nearly perfect weather, with two spectacular victories over Gar-Field, 54- 0, and Cedar-Lee, 53-0. The next two games, the first against a new opponent, Stafford, and the second against Group I Osbourn, saw the Mustangs lose two hard fought contests.

The next week saw the Mustangs lose another close game to League Champion Herndon, due to fumbles at cru- cial points. In the final game of the season, the Mustangs stormed back to beat Marshall 28-0 and to even their record with 4 wins, 4 losses. “Nice try, Don.” “Splash!” Buddy Garland kicks off to Gar-Field. ...But Spirit Never 3 F ai?s Two Mustangs bring Osbourn back to sudden halt. 147 Bill Hodges drives in for a lay-up Sophomore John Carlo shoots a jump shot for 2 points.

The early games of the season saw the Mustang five lose several thrilling, hard- fought games by one point margins ; but, as the season advanced, the team became progres- sively stronger and began sweeping by all op- position. As the tournament came nearer, and it became obvious that the Mustangs would gain a berth in the tournament, school spirit and excitement rose to an all time high. Both tournament games saw overflowing crowds cheer the fighting Mustangs as they swept by Loudoun County and Nokesville. The follow- ing week-end saw the Mustangs play Varina in the regional tournament and lose despite a game effort to defeat the much taller down- state team. John Carlo.

(journamenf Highlights The Group II District 9 Tournament, held at George Mason this year, was a tremendous success, especially since our own Mustangs emerged as champions. The Mustangs, who went into the tournament in a tie for third place in regular season play, met Loudoun County in the semi-finals and defeated them 49-45. In the finals the Mustangs met Nokesville, and before a screaming, overflowing crowd, defeated them 51-47, thus bringing the district crown to G.M.

In the first game the girls breezed by Rappahannock 46-39, and in the finals won an exciting contest from the regular season champions, Marshall, by one point (39-38) ; thus climaxing one of the girls’ most successful season. “Get the ball Randy!” Varsity Cfieerl e aers Fight, team, fight!
