Bebtcatton You are always ttare to meet us at the station when we come feeling strange and out of place, and with a word make us feel at home again. You are always there, whether it’s stamps or tickets for a concert, whether it Vs train tickets or just a package we want. And you are always there when it is time to leave — ordering our diplomas, adjusting our caps and gowns. You are always there when we need you; we love your iron rule and your quick smile, your sharp temper and your hearty laugh; but most of all, we love you, dear Aunt Min”, and it is with pride that we, the Class of 19 50 , dedicate our yearbook to you.

Somers, the founder and beloved inspiration of the school. First, it must be said that Mrs. Somers was a born teacher, with that certain knack in her blood. When a Judge Cooley, who was spending the winter in Washington, asked her to tutor his three daughters, she couldn’t refuse. And these three little girls, Clara, Minnie, and Mary, were the first of countless numbers of young ladies who were to become Mrs. Somers’ girls”. The wide, sunny room, in which Mrs. Somers taught, was at 204 F Street. So it was that in 1866, she embarked upon what was to become a pleasure-filled ca- reer, and one in which she contributed much more than mere book-knowledge to the lives of her many students. After the Cooley sisters came six girls who were slightly older. At one time the number of this group was increased by one, when a Japanese prince joined the lessons fer a short period. It was in 1875 that Mrs. Somers opened her first organized school, naming it Mount Vernon Seminary, for the Mount Vernon Place Church in Baltimore, where her brother Dr. Thomas Eddy devoted { 8 JjMstorp of tfje cfjool many hours of his time in service to the congregation. The daily rituals of the school at that stage were stiff but useful in training of the young ladies. The following quota- tion from the book Elizabeth J. Somers by Faith Bradford, best illustrates a typical day at 204 F Street: Seven o’clock was the rising hour, half after seven, breakfast time. The spirit of the morning table was appropriate to the beginning of a new day. A verse of Scrip- ture was required of each gi rl, and woe betide the miss who too frequently pro- duced one noted for its brevity. A walk followed breakfast, then devotional exer- cises; the serious business of learning was pursued until one o’clock luncheon. From three until five was a study period; half an hour was allowed for dressing for din- ner. Dinner brought with it a require- ment that seemed a task at the time, but in later years was a cause for gratitude; each pupil was obliged to present in the course of natural conversation, some sub- ject of art, science, or general current in- terest. Quaint as such a custom seems six- ty odd years after, it was a step toward the acquisition of useful information, and a nct-to-be despised training in the art of conversation. $istorp of tfje cfjool After dinner there was social relaxa- tion in the parlors until seven o’clock. On Friday nights, callers were allowed, a privilege that was something of an ordeal for the young man who found himself for a time the only masculine creature in the presence of all the young ladies and Mrs. Somers herself! . . . On school nights there were prayers in Mrs. Somers’ room — unforgettable ex- periences . . The amusements provided for the young ladies were limited and relatively quiet: concerts, lectures, simple excur- sions, sight-seeing, and an entertainment at the White House by Mrs. Hayes, a close friend cf Mrs. Somers. The school began to grow, evidence of this being the increase from one graduate in 1876 to five in 1877. The latter year’s graduation took place in the Metropolitan Church. In 1878, the graduating class numbered only four, but they had pro- vided themselves with a motto and class color (blue). The motto Vincit qui sc vincit” became the motto of the school. In the summer of 1880, Mount Vernon Seminary moved from 204 F Street to its new location at 1100 M Street. The first graduating class was in 1881. The school remained at this location for thirty-seven years. During this time, an entire build- ing for classrooms and chapel was built on 11th Street, and 1104 and 1106 M HMStorp of ti)e cljool Street were bought and remodeled. Also, 1 1 1 1 11th Street was acquired for faculty and club rooms, and Senior House across the street. As the school grew, the times and customs changed, as did the customs and restrictions of the school, but under- neath it remained the same. It would be impossible to describe and discuss every faculty member, but there are some definitely outstanding ones who must be remembered. Mrs. Adelia Gates Hensley is, undoubt- edly, the person to be mentioned first. She came to the Seminary in 1884 and re- mained there until her death in 1923, holding positions of teacher, principal, first assistant and then associate, and, at the retirement of Mrs. Somers in 1914, head mistress. It was at this time that Mrs. Hensley leased the school, and two years later she incorporated it. And dur- ing this year, 1916, building of the new school, at 3801 Nebraska Avenue, began. It was ready for occupancy the following year. So it was that Mount Vernon Sem- inary changed residence again, but as be- fore, that was all that changed. The spirit and fine standing remained steadfast. Nothing could alter something so deep- rooted. ll ) The most important part of the new school was the Great Hall. This was the backbone of school life, and where the students and faculty would gather to re- ceive Mrs. Somers during her brief ap- pearances there. As 1925, the school’s fiftieth year ap- proached, plans were made for and con- struction completed on, the Elizabeth Somers Chapel, built on the campus. Mrs. Hensley, unfortunately, didn’t live to witness the celebration. She died in 1923 at her home, Gatesley”, within the school grounds. The following year, the school was again thrown into mourning by the death of the beloved Mrs. Somers; although she was gone, there remained behind, radiat- ing from her portrait which hung in Great Hall some of her indomitable spirit and unquenchable loyalty. With the death of Mrs. Hensley, the position of President passed to Miss Jean Dean Cole, who had been at Mount Ver- non Seminary for eighteen years as teach- er, as assistant, and then as associate headmistress. But the job became increas- ingly heavy, so she gave the Presidency and position of dean to Mr. and Mrs. JiMStorp of tfje fetfjool George Lloyd, respectively, retaining her- self, positions as Headmistress and Chair- man of the Board of Trustees. It was about 1939 when Miss Cole died and the entire school was turned ever to Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd completely. Things went along smoothly until the World War came, actively, to the United States. Then it was that Mr. Lloyd was notified by the Navy Department that the school was to be turned over to them. It seemed impossible — what to do, where to go, how to continue? All of these questions seemed unanswerable, but somehow they man- aged, the students and faculty, to move the school to the vacant second floor of Julius Garfinckel Company in Spring Valley, and then, by some miracle, to a new site, 2100 Foxhall Road. The latter did not happen right away, however, and the school is still not completed, but it has come a long way from the Garfinckel days”. In this, the seventy-fifth year, there is pride in every student and faculty mem- ber, as they look around the campus, in being a part of such an institution — one which, though many trials and hardships have invaded its serenity, has not lost its character or discarded its memories of the founder Mrs. Somers, whose very being is still a great part of the life and spirit of Mount Vernon Seminary (Junior Col- lege).

Mentor Class President Vice-President Secretary T reasurer Those first few days were ones of be- wilderment as ninety-odd girls, the class of 195 0, slowly began to acquaint them- selves with each other and with Mount Vernon; but with their Big Sisters to help them, life at college began to work out in no time. The first task that confronted us was six weeks of probation with a test and a vaudeville at the end. The Seniors as well as the faculty must have been pleased with our performance — The best vaudeville given in ten years”, some said. After- wards, came our class elections, and we Nancy Chamberlaine Shirley Thompson Katherine Simpson Margaret Newman began to work together as a unit under the leadership of Mimi Breitzke. Soon, we selected our class motto, col- ors and flower, which the Seniors never guessed after many drastic attempts. We were challenged to an Ingenuity Contest by the Seniors and while we lost by a nar- row margin, we had become a working unit. Later in the spring we presented our colors, and in May we gave the traditional Junior-Senior banquet, in honor of the graduating class. 14 It was a lost feeling when we said good- bye to the Seniors in June but we will al- ways remember and cherish their friend- ships. When September of 1949 came around, we returned, but not bewildered as before. We were Seniors now and we had antici- pated this moment all our lives. This year Miss Bridges was our class advisor and no one could have helped us more. We challenged the Juniors to an In- genuity Contest after Christmas and after a hard fight we were the victors — not only were we working as a unit now, but with a spirit that no one could take away. Appreciation We thank you. Miss Bridges, for the help and the advice that you gave us through our college years at Mt. Vernon; for the encouragement you gave as we struggled through our Vaudeville to our Class Night; for your patience when our academic work rocked precariously; for your warm praise when we did well — we thank you and dedicate this to you, the best advisor any class could have. The future months held more activities for us. Money for the Building Fund, Spring Weekend, and a fashion show. Only too soon will we find ourselves in the midst of the Capping Ceremony, the Tree Planting Ceremony, and Class Night. Then our last step in June — Graduation, the biggest day of our lives. We then re- ceive our diplomas, symbols of all that Mount Vernon has meant to us through the years that we have been here. Deeds are better than words” is our motto, and we will prove by our deeds, and not our words, that we are citizens of the world, ready to accept our responsibilities as such.

We noticed in the Post Office this morning that Shirley Copenhaver, who has succeeded her mother as Postmistress of Bristol, has sent out a warrant for the arrest of any person mistreating or holding Bumpsy- Daisey against her will. Letters came from Tompy and Jackie — Tompy writes now from South Africa that she and Bill like it fine BUT are dis- tressed over the fact that the natives can’t seem to catch on to Canasta, while Jackie and Knight give their residence as Pup Tent Number 3, South Pole. He is working frightfully hard for his commission as a P.F.C. Saw Carolyn Ladd at the last Army-Navy game in mild hysterics over the loss of the key to her diary. At the same game we saw Jean and Dave Bannerman crash Believe-It-or-Not-Ripley when their all-girl foot- ball team floored the crowd with a slight margin of 77 points over Army. Baldie is raising three sons to add to the glory of Annapolis. She hopes to see them play in the Big Game someday. New York is busy toasting its newest sensation — Beezie Coe. She is so busy with parties that she hasn’t had time to pose for pictures, but we hear that she is the new Miss Rheingold. Met Rita Phillips outside Bergdorf’s sporting the latest fashion: a strapless leopard skin trimmed with chicken feathers. Joan Balster is modeling the clothes that are designed by Phyllis Leidy. Jean Ross is also in the City working for tips in the Commodore cocktail lounge as a photographess. Word has been received from Charles, Betty Faythe’s husband, that she has been nominated for Mayor of Hogansville. Other mail tells us that Ann Morris, Nancy Chamberlaine and Kathy Simpson are bickering with John L. about their West Virginia coal mines. Dee Dee has given back her salary as secretary to help the cause. Others say that Joan John- son is in charge of raising funds to buy street lights for Chickasha. M. J. has just made captaincy of her father’s tuna crew, and does her share by eating 1 3 of the season’s haul. Inside reports say that it was Des Sbarounis who had Peggy Boyer write her new sociology book about Greece. You know that it is a best seller”. Carmen expects Kate and Renee to visit her in Guatemala. The new travel folders from the Army show pictures of Hope and Joan Phillips in far corners of the globe. Both are married to soldiers, and travel constantly. Arthur Murray has asked Carol to teach the hula, but she is too busy surfboarding to accept his offer. An ad in the paper attracted our attention the other day. It read, We will get you escorts for all occasions. Please contact Mary Gillespie and Company”. Ginny Taylor works for the agency. Do you think they still use their old stand-bys from Mount Vernon? We were pleased to read that Jackie Sleeper was voted outstanding woman basketball player of the year. Denia Stearn is working on a new bomb aptly called the S” Bomb. It is to keep away kibitzers when she is attempting to finesse at a bridge game. Estelle is usually found opposite the scientist”, and continues to worry if all the trump are out. Carol Angell remarks that the old red car is like a homing pigeon. They can’t get it away from the Gate House. Did you know that Hardie Newton’s Sunday School class has just recorded its favorite hymn — Navy Blue and Gold”? Ada Alice and Sis have enrolled in a correspondence course to im- prove their accents. Even the Georgians find them difficult to understand. Peggy is here visiting me. She’s the First Lady, now, you know. It was so grand hearing from you. Do keep us posted on all the hap- penings at Mount Vernon. Affectionately, Maggie Lakin Peggy Newman Class Mill I, Mary Jane O’Hara, will my Florida tan to Marnie Messinger. I, Tompy, will my favorite Music History records to Marilyn Sadler.

Sally Bet Cuningham, Joan Johnson, Jean Johnson, Elizabeth Rozzelle fumor Class President Jean Johnson Vice-President Joan Johnson Secretary Sally Bet Cuningham Treasurer Elizabeth Rozzelle And so they came, in groups or one by one from all parts of the country — the new Junior Class. With their Big Sisters to help them they began to adjust them- selves to college life at Mount Vernon. First came their Probation period which they sailed through with flying colors and topped it off with a spectacular vaude- ville that will remain long in their mem- ories as well as those who saw it. Then Thanksgiving, Christmas, and the next thing they knew they were thrown 39 } into a real battle of originality, the annual fight against the Seniors in an Ingenuity Contest. Although the Seniors were the victors, the party they gave afterwards was the finest ever at school. Spring Vacation and the presentation of Colors in April; then final examina- tions and many went home for the sum- mer, while some stayed to see the Seniors graduate. Eventually the dormitories at Mount Vernon were silent of their laugh- ter. But they will return again next fall, Seniors and leaders in the school.

Stfjletic gtesociation The Woman’s Athletic Association is an organ- ization, having as its general aim, the support and promotion of various extra-class activities which are an outgrowth of the school program of physical education. The Athletic Association best serves its purpose as an educative agency, in the degree that it not only promotes participation in athletics and related activities, but also provides for responsible student participation in the planning and conduct of such activity programs. The Woman’s Athletic Association sponsors a point system which provides a basis for the award- ing of honors to those students who put forth a concentrated effort to participate in activities, whether ' ' athletic” or not. Some of the activities sponsored by the Athletic Association in the past year were as follows: The Get-Acquainted Party held at the begin- ning of the school year, which was designed to do just what its name implies, and consisted of a softball game between the Juniors and Seniors (Juniors won) and a picnic supper at the Field House. The W. A. A. Initiation, which came shortly before Thanksgiving, and was indeed hilarious, with a scavenger hunt, peanut race, skits, and cul- minated by a grand picnic supper at the Field House. The Intra-Mural games among the houses, in- cluding the volleyball tournament, tennis tourney, and softball tournament, after which one house was awarded a bronze plaque for winning a major- ity of the tournaments. Keeping this plaque in one house for three years means permanent possession by that house. The Spring Dance festivities, during which the A. A. sponsored a day of games for girls and their dates, including tennis, volleyball, deck tennis, and climaxed by a softball game between the girls and boys. All of the aforementioned activities, with the exception of the initiation, were sponsored by the Athletic Association for the entire college and welcomed any and all to participate.
