[dlemm Memorial There are numerous public buildings and monuments in Washing- ton, but none which combines beauty and meaning so well as the Jefferson Memorial. Thomas Jefferson, we believe, is a fitting intro- duction to the 1954 Bell Cote, tv hose theme is the government of the United States because he, who played such a great role in the founding of the nation, is a challenging inspiration to the young people of our country. THE STUDENT BODY OF MOUNT VERNON JUNIOR COLLEGE presents t Tp - 1] i J , J of 19 5 4 2100 FOXHALL ROAD WASHINGTON, 0 . C . The future of our country lies in us, the young people of America. On us, for the past two years, has lain the responsibility of preparing ourselves for the task of carrying this great nation ever for- ward. There is no better location we could have chosen to learn from first-hand experience how our government functions.. In our two years at Mount Vernon we have witnessed the inauguration of a new president of the United States; we have lived through the change of one administration to another, and have watched, here in Washington, democratic government in action. We can only hope that the knowledge gained here will enable us to go on to a constructive, full life in the years to come. J E-ctiaation Miss Agnes Delano Miss Delano, you will be among our most cherished Mount Vernon memories. Your outstanding contribu- tions in the fields of art. philosophy, and English, remain as an everlasting tribute to your unselfish efforts. The absence of your unceasing warm interest in any and all will spell a great loss to Mount Vernon in the future. We can only be thankful that we were fortunate enough to profit from your illimitable knowledge. vW% [ r Ol-r President and His First Lady dabinzt Sftr- As in our national government, so here at Mount Vernon, our cabinet, the Faculty, carries out the aims and philosophies of the Administration. Though Cabinet members may have their trou- bles with Congress, (and vice versa), such differences are part of a healthy democratic life. lUftKEJTO, SiCXORJTA Cl R A Ll ISA Spanish Re vkumj r Mrs. k v e hi rim Psychology Beaulieu, Miss Stenographic studies 44 Ra k s.

The Senate is traditionally more sedate and conservative titan the House of Representatives. A smaller body than the House, it has greater powers and hence greater responsibility and prestige. 11 ] 5 C At ZT:£?Z e . ’ • 4 €% A X ‘ .Wv y ♦� -. - x . - i u o -t f ) , , t r- i f .

It is the ideal place to learn about and discuss the various political situations of the day. It is especially appealing in that it invites speakers to come to Mount Vernon from time to time to discuss the foreign and domestic conditions prevalent both in this country and in other parts of the world. It is the Club ' s priviledge to have Dr. Elmer Kayser as our bi-weekly speaker. At times we are able to secure many important outside speakers. This year we enjoyed hearing Dr. Eleanor Dulles, among others, to broaden our knowledge of world events. Dr, Kayser f s sharp wit and clever caricatures of prominent political figures hold a lasting interest in this active campus club. dPuzs VoocI and ddzucj dommitlzE nut ' : Nancy Pnty, Connie Unit.

Jearme, Go! ionat cJ ' iiito’iy A typical introduction to Mount Vernon on September 3, 1953, ran some tiling like this: 3: (15 marked your arrival at Union Station or Na- tional Airport. At 3:07 Aunt Minnie was spied wearing her yellow ribbon. You approached her, and politely uttered your name By 3:12 you were safely pinned with a name tag, packed into one of the school limousines, and twenty-five minutes later were driving through the gates of MVJC. By this time, you were aware that you had just been met by one woman of our campus who could keep her wits when all about her were losing theirs amidst the confused gaiety of opening day, and you realized that the following week would run with this same efficiencey. On Sep- tember 16, the sightseeing tours came; the Placement Tests came; the only thing that didn ' t come was your suitcase and trunk How- ever, we did su rvive that first week, and by October 10, were ready to present our Fresh- man Varieties, which marked the end of our probation period. Then we helped pull sev- eral Eastern football teams through the fall In January the Student Body attended the President ' s Inauguration and Inaugural Ball. The Ingenuity Contest and semester exams were both new to us. One welcome, one not so welcome, hut having lived through these, most of us attended the World Affairs Trip to New York. Soon afterwards it was warm enough for picnics and sunbaths. We spent sleepless weeks on term papers, and partly sleepless weekends at various college Spring Festivals. After a wonderful Spring vacation, May 20, the close of our Freshman year, had come. We have found our senior year to be more difficult hut perhaps more profitable, because of the lasting friendships and the lasting knowl- edge we have gained. The good times and fine experiences of spending two years in Washington will never he forgotten; and al- though we have objected to such things as Govennent exams and book reports, it has been said a hundred times: “If Mount Vernon were only a four year college! ' season, danced until 1 o ' clock at our Christmas Dance, and finally got our bags packed for the Christmas Holidays in the middle of December. To our faculty and freshman class— we will miss you next year— We will always have the fondest memories of yon and our two years that passed too quickly at Mount Vernon. 0 SIT QUIZ 59 ] President Ann Coi ' Rtney Harreli. ahxk GLUE [ 60 President ■ ■ ■ ■ . .Minnie Lms Yarbrough 9 izLcl 61 ] Day Student President Jams Blair Hamilton ! l Ltzciou. ) CABINET DIRECTORY Bvkiu iro.
