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. Margaret Newman
