CLASS P RO PH E CY-1 9 6 2 With great anticipation we hurried through the New York theater crowds to the inner lobby, as we heard that many of our former Mount Vernon classmates had come to the premiere of the fascinating new play, “The Lady’s Not for Learning, written, incidentally, by Susie Don- nelly. We were quite anxious to see the dra- matic triumph of lola Lyttle, who had the female lead We called lola when we got to the city and she invited us up to her penthouse for cock- tails yesterday, so we got all the news of the old Hensley crowd, lola told us that former suitematc Susie Block is currently making mil- lions writing crossword puzzles for newspapers and that Mary Ann Pfingst is busy typing up her first novel entitled, “The Marines and I “ Ran into Nita Sams in the lobby with her pad and pencil in hand She was covering the affair for the New York Times where she is a top- flight reporter You must read her new book, “The Evils of Satire” or “I Learned the Hard Way ” She told us that Marilyn Yost finally made the grade and is a motel hostess down in Rio. She is so enthusiastic about it that she has invited the rest of 52 down for a reunion visit Nita also said that she ran into Jane Magee recently at a writers’ conference. Jane has a new pastime — writing obscene literature Nita was down in D C recently for a press con ference, where she heard that Yolanda and B Lcef arc folding Red Cross bandages in Korea Through the Associated Press, she ran across an article saying that Jennifer Patteson- Knight is running a “black market” in Cuba for tea and crumpets’ As we went to our front row center scats we heard a familiar violin tuning up in the orchestra pit Upon closer observation it turned out to be Madge Cloney who was playing first violin in the orchestra Her former suitemates Mandv Thurncr and Joyce Davern came over to chat with the talented musician and we found out that Mandy had just finished hand-stitching Easter outfits for her six children and that Joyce is head stewardess on Deme Warren’s private airline that runs non-stop between Florida, West Point, and Annapolis We also heard that Joan Beck was finally getting her trip to Florida It seems she and Paul struck oil on their place in Oklahoma During the show we felt a tap on the shoulder and discovered Julie Dickson sitting behind us. Julie is quite busy these days raising “Green Key” queens while friend Sharon Gallagher, Julie said, was last seen on top of the Matterhorn brewing brandy for Saint Bernards. We asked Julie about Patty Overstreet and found out that she is the Captain of the U.S.S. Carter, which is docking in New York in a few days. During intermission we saw Cackie Marks who was in the city, trousseau shopping Not being a believer in short engagements, Cackie is finally making preparations to be married. We asked her about Snookie Stone and were horrified to hear that she is still at Mount Vernon serving her campus and peddling cocaine to the Trig students Saw Hester and D. C. in the lobby also Must say that married life agrees with Hester She is tipping the scales at a husky 1 10 now. Hester reported that Ann Barcroft is a house mother at the Dclt fraternity at the Uni versity of Alaska. Trudy Slater was frantically shoving nickels in the coke machine as we strolled by. She is part owner of a coca-cola plant in Dallas but has been drinking up all the profits. rudy had flown in for the affair from Texas, where she said the FBI is hot on the trail of Ann Robertson, who has a nifty business rustling cattle across the Mexican border. We got some more interesting news about friends on the coast from Trudy. She said that Jane Wood was unable to come to the premiere as she is at her ranch in California writing campaign speeches for the coming presidential elections in which she is a leading candidate Another Texan, Martha McRae, is running a dude ranch in the Lone Star State with the sole requirement that everyone sleeps 14 hours a day Trudy also said that Ann Arnold and Merry Spalding are in Tulsa now having just returned from England — and are rewriting the Mount Vernon Consti- tution to “We Wish to Run Mount Vernon Singlehanded Virginia Boyle flew up from Washington to see all the old gang too. A lot of our Washington friends are still in the Capital City where Virginia is a leading librarian at the Library of Congress. After all the training she got at Mount Vernon, she was a natural for the job. Virginia said that Marianne Darby is still in Washington, keeping house for her executive husband and her five red-headed kids. Mary Ann Schweinhaut is still at the Alma Mater trying to get her Day Students to go to chapel, and Liz Payne is a C.P. A. for the government. Another Washingtonian, Marie Balshaw, is now the Academic Dean at Vassar College. After the show we went backstage to com gratulate Iola on her performance an d saw Dione Lilly, who is a fashion designer in one of New York’s leading department stores. Betty Jo Pepin was there, too. B. J , with her coonskin cap in hand, is now one of Memphis’ leading advisors in the Criminal Court. Iola invited us to go on to one of the night spots, so we made our way outside to hail a cab. Guess who stepped out of one just as we were leaving! Lee Adams and Kathy Martin Kathy had just come from an evening at the Metropolitan where she is accompanying Liz Rozzelle at the piano. Lee is an interpreter at the U.N. offices here in the city. In front of the night club we ran into Jeanne Sanson who has an advice to the love- lorn column in the N Y. Times. She was with friend Jeanne Mussil who is still looking for “new material.” Inside the Copacabana we saw Ann Samuel who was waiting for a table. Ann is organizing a date-bureau in Chattanooga these days. We were ushered to a ringside table and passed Pat Smith on the way. Pat is leading a happy life as the wife of a Memphis cotton manufacturer and has already entered her four boys in W. and L. The lights went down and the floor show began. We discovered that some of our ’52 classmates had made their mark in the entertainment world, for Elaine Courts was one of the featured attractions in the show, doing the hula in a strictly Hawaiian way. The star, however, was none other than our own Minnie Pearl McKinney, who never quite recovered from her brilliant performances at Mount Ver- non Eleanor Sample sauntered by our table after the show with her tray full of stuffed animals. In her spare time off work she is running a mascot supply service for fraternity houses. Saw Suzy Johnson on the dance floor madly doing the Charleston with her U.Va. pupils. She stopped by to chat between dances and told us the news that Sidney J unkin is in Paris now, painting the town, and that Nancy Yesair is still busy getting subscriptions for the Yale Record. On the way back to the hotel we saw a large neon sign advertising the thriving business of one of the former Cole girls. “We Pack Your Clothes. Evening Dresses Our Specialty. Pack- Easy Co., Nancy Mclnnis, President ” We have saved until last the news of the five Post girls, who after their struggle together through 1952 just couldn’t bear to break up the group. We find now in “Hel’s Home for Lonely Hags,” the Frustrated Five from Post (Mrs. Price sends Xmas cards every year ) The premiere is over and we have to be head- ing back to our run-down homes, irritated husbands and screaming children. It’s really been fun seeing all the old gang, but “There’s No Place Like Home,” so adieu for another ten years or so. Hope by then we ll have some more news of the Class of ’52.

Nov 2. Tonight there was the dress rehearsal for the 75th Anniversary Pageant, the last one before the production tomorrow night, and everyone was proud of the thought and work put into the arrangements by Miss Herriott and her capable assistants Nov 3. The Pageant, “What’s Past is Pro- logue. was presented in the auditorium of the U S. Chamber of Commerce and attended by many friends and alumnae of the Seminary and College. All went well, and it was a thrilling experience to sec the history of Mount Vernon portrayed in such an entertaining and spectacular fashion Nov 4 Tonight there was an impressive ban- quet in the ballroom of the Hotel May- flower with everyone in formal dress and the faculty, students and many of the alumnae attending. This was the climax of the 75th Anniversary celebration Nov. 5. Founders Day. There was a birthday celebration in the Refectory with many celebrated alumnae present to blow out a candle on the cake. A 4 hanksgiving and Commemoration Service followed, at the Metropolitan Memorial Methodist Church. Nov. 18. The first Annapolis “tea light ” From 3:00 to 5 30 we tripped the light fantastic with handsome midshipmen in equally handsome uniforms! Nov. 22 Thanksgiving Vacation began, and we were all oil in a rush for home, a visit to friends and roommates or a (ling in the Big City: New York! For days we had been packing and humming. “Give My Regards to Broadway!” Dec 0. The Christmas Dance was held tonight at the Sulgravc Club, and, as usual, it was a big success. The girls in lovely, swirling skirts and rhe boys in tuxedos or tails made an enchanting picture against the formal background of the club Dec 18. The traditional Christmas Boar s Head Dinner in the Refectory tonight made us realize that Christmas is practically upon us. The air was crisp, the sky clear and the old Christmas spirit was high. Dec 19. North, South, East or West by train, plane or car, everyone anticipating the re- unions and parties that will highlight the Christmas season at home “Merry Christ- mas” resounded on all sides! Jan 7. Vacation is over! It is 1951. Everyone talked furiously of her good times, and especially about New Year’s Eve! Jan 13. The big night of the Winter season , the annual Ingenuity Contest between the Freshmen and Seniors. We were proud as Punch that we had kept our colors, motto and flower a secret from the Seniors, but we were even happier when we won the contest! A Victory Rally, with the en- tertainment to be provided by the Seniors, will be held a few nights later in the Refectory. Jan. 25. Mid- Year Exams! Each one seemed a little easier than the last one — or maybe we just couldn’t remember what had come before ! Jan 31. Exams are over at long last, and we are looking forward to a long weekend for relaxation and to collect our wits after the strain. Feb. 7. Basketball games are getting underway and practice is getting more strenuous. The game today was with Stoneridge. Feb. 24. Senior Open House in the rec rooms of the different houses was the occasion of a great time for everyone. Many males had been imported for the evening and dancing, singing and refreshments added to the gaiety. March 17. This evening we had the Glee Club from Johns Hopkins over for dinner. After- wards, they gave us a concert and then rhere was dancing. The theme of the evening was St. Patrick’s Day, and, to look at the decorations in the Refectory, one would have thought that a bit of Ireland” had landed at Mount Vernon. March 20. We are off again today — Spring Vacation, this time. Some are eager to get home and see old friends, while others are looking forward to lazy days on Bermuda beaches. The long Winter term is at an end. How quickly it has passed! April 13-15. Our Spring Weekend. There was a Square Dance on Friday night and we all made like “hayseeds.” Saturday afternoon there was a luncheon, followed by tennis and softball for the athletic. Saturday night a formal dance had been planned in the Refectory. The girls certainly looked lovely in their Spring dresses! April 26. This afternoon the Prep Fourth Form presented a “Campus Carnival” on the hockey field. We all stuffed ourselves with ice cream and peanuts and watched the “races,” the grand climax of which was the Faculty “Free-For-All.” We felt like kids at the circus! May 3. Today was the day of the Capping Ceremony. Each Senior was presented with her “mortar-board” by her chosen Fresh- man. Afterwards we went down to the new Gym for the installation of new officers for 1951-1952. May 11. “Broadway, Here We Come!” was the cry of the Little Theater group which presented “The Flattering Word ” Even Mr. Carpenter and Mr. Vaniman took part and made their bows behind the footlights. We felt that they were as good as anyone we had seen on the Great White Way. May 12 This was our May Day. In the after- noon there was the crowning of the May Queen and the presentation of her Court. Evelyn Thornton was “Her Majesty” for the afternoon. Tonight there was a formal dance, our very first in the new Gym! May 16. After weeks of planning decorations, sending out invitations, writing toasts and speeches, arranging seating, etc., etc., the Junior-Senior Banquet went off this evening without any catastrophes. This was the highlight of the whole year, and a happy time, but underneath it all there was a little sadness, for we realized that our wonderful Seniors will soon be leavin g for good. May 22. This evening there was the formal opening of the Gymnasium. We were all very glad that ir has finally been finished and extremely grateful to all those who made it possible. Just think! Ours will be the first class to use it! The United States Navy Band provided us with a wonderful concert for the opening. Anchors Aweigh ! May 26. Exams! Exams! To bed at 2.00 a m. and up at five — to study! Study-eat-study- fall into bed to dream of French verbs, Algebra equations, shorthand symbols and history dates. . . . May 31. All packed and ready to head for home! The Seniors are still going strong, with their graduation exercises yet ahead of them. We take a last look at the familiar rooms before “signing out” for good. We’ll be back next year, but it will never be quite th e same. This is “Good-Bye” to many of our friends — both Freshmen and Seniors. Well, next year WE’ll be SENIORS— a magic word in itself. We can hardly wait! CLASS OF 1952 Senior History Sept 26. We have looked forward to the day when, we would be Seniors at Mount Vernon and now here it is and it doesn’t seem pos- sible that a year ago now we were nervous and scared little Freshmen The day has been filled with greeting old friends and meeting the new ' Freshmen One look at the campus gave us the feeling that this coming year will be a wonderful one, filled with happy moments of friends, work and play. Sept 28 This afternoon gave us a chance to chat with the faculty and the new Fresh- men at a tea given by Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd in the Refectory With the whole student body present, the tea-cakes and sandwiches disappeared like lightning The hum of conversation grew ' louder and louder as as students and faculty exchanged the Summer ' s news. This evening there was the Freshman Senior Parry The strumming of ukes and the songs we sang created an intimate atmosphere which made the Fresh men feel more at ease with us Sept 29 Today gave us another chance to ac- quaint ourselves with the Freshmen In the afternoon we all piled into buses that took us out to Great Falls We felt like a bunch of mountain goats as we clambered around and over the high rocks. We all agreed that the spot was ideally chosen All of us had a great time — except those who had stomach aches from too many hot dogs. Oct 2. Tonight was the traditional Senior Serenade which, we hope, the Freshmen w ' ere impressed with After enticing every- one out of the houses, we ran down to the Field House, where there was food awaiting us. Oct 20. This was the night when ive sat in judgment’ The occasion was the Freshman Varieties, and it brought back happy memo- ries of our own show, last year The per- formance of the Freshmen was superb and, as far as we could judge, they passed with flying colors and were “off probation.” At the same time as we judged the Varie ties, we gave consideration to Hell Week, and we all agreed that the Freshmen had been wonderful sports. There was further excitement tonight, for we had our first dance of the year. We tried hard to trans- form the Gym into a football field by hanging up banners, putting up yard-line signs and placing stuffed football players in appropriate spots. Nov. 21. You would have thought it was Christmas Vacation instead of Thanks- giving by the way everyone shouted with glee when this welcome day arrived. As we Seniors well remembered, it wasn’t that exciting, last year. Today it seemed as though everyone were bound for the Big City, for all you could hear was: “ Meet you under the clock!” Nov. 25. What a let down! Vacation is over, but everyone had such a wonderful time that we decided that if the holiday had been any longer, it might have lacked something. So, now back to the books! Dec. 8 This afrernoon the Princeton University Choir was cn route to Mount Vernon, and you’ve never seen such hustling and bustling as there was in Clark House all day today. Yes, there was a lot of commotion, with us trying to pack up and move out so that the Princeton boys could move in There was a great deal of excitement in the other houses when it was learned that thirty-four boys would be spending Saturday night on campus’ With the well-known Dr. Carl Weinrich directing, the Choir entertained us with many beautiful Christmas songs of the Renaissance and Baroque periods. Before the concert, the Foods classes, under the enterprising supervision of Mrs. Mc- Laughlin, invited the boys for dinner in the Home Ec dining-room Following the concert, coffee was served at the back of the Gym, and after that the Christmas dance began. The decorations of ever- green trees, trimmed with tinsel, laurel and blue lights, transformed the Gym into a Christmas wonderland. Jan. 6. Back to school to begin a new year after a gay Christmas holiday. Now it is time for us to settle down and study for the on-rush of mid-year examinations. Jan. 12. After a hard day of creating costumes and scenery, dabbling with paints and hours of practicing at the gym, we did ourselves proud by winning the Ingenuity Contest. Jan. 25. No plans for anyone, this weekend. In spite of all resolutions to the contrary, we found ourselves down in the recreation rooms cramming at the last minute, armed with cokes and crackers to give us enough energy to last through the wee hours of the morning. Jan. 30. Now, with the tedious week of exams behind us, we all parted in different direc- tions to spend our precious four-day vaca- tion either skiing up North, swimming in Florida or off on another hectic college weekend. March 1. March came in like a lion much to our dismay, as we were all ready to don our straw hats, but with three inches of snow we decided that our wool caps would be more suitable. March 8. Johns Hopkins Glee Club entertained us at a concert held in Lloyd Hall. After- wards we danced to the music of the Johns Hopkins twelve-piece band. At one-forty- five we bid them all a fond farewell and thanked them for the enjoyable evening. March 20. Bermuda’s coral sand beckoned to many of us at vacation time. With six-week exams over with we were ready to enjoy our ten days of play. March 30. Tired girls returned to Mount Ver- non after an exhausting ten days in New York, while others came back with glorious sun tans, making those that went North appear quite pale and unhealthy. We found at the end of this vacation that we were eager to get back in the swing of college activities again, as we only had eight more weeks left at Mount Vernon. Some fortunate seniors who drove their cars back to school enabled the rest of us to enjoy the beautiful spring weather in Wash- ington even more. May 2-June 3. Those last few weeks were tedi- ous but we will always remember them as the happiest of our two years at Mount Vernon. May started off with our big spring weekend and the crowning of the May Queen That night there was our May dance in the beautifully-decorated gym which followed a presentation of the annual play by the Little Theater. The next day, Sunday, we gathered a last cime with the Junior class at the Junior- Senior Banquet. Then came the tense week of examinations which was to be the deciding point for our graduation. After finals were brought to a close, the Juniors left and we were in a whirl of last-minute preparation for Com- mencement. On the 31st we attended a dance at che gym for the last time. Our own Com- mencement Dance. This was rruly a memorable night. We will always remember the address at Baccalaureate service, on June 1st. The next night we presented our class history to our parents and friends in form of skits at the Class Night exercises. There were awards and speeches afterwards and a final speech from Mr Lloyd. The 3rd of June finally came and at eleven o’clock we donned our robes and received our diplomas and then we were prepared to meet our future out in the “cold, cold world.” With sad and tear-stained faces we waved good-by to our never-to-be-forgotten friends and dear Alma Mater.

Boyle even school books can’t teach you I the value of a Venus de Milo or make an operatic solo more appealing than the Tiger Rag.
