For her unfailing service and devotion to the school, For her sincere interest in each individual, hor her diligent work in instilling in many of us an appreciation and understanding of our modern world, And for the good advice and counsel which she has given us this year, We, the Senior Class proudly dedicate the 1964 Bell Cote to MISS MARJORIE DAY FOREWORD “To be of the time but maintain timeless principles” is a concept which has guided Mount Vernon in the past, the present, and hope- fully the future. Beginning as one small building on Nebraska Ave- nue, the school now has a twenty-four acre campus. This growth of Mount Vernon as a community has been shown not only through its physical facilities, but also in its academic and social features. Our progress has come from within as well as from without our immediate community. And while growing as an institution, we have introduced new ideas to be developed. Even in one year our progress may be seen and reflected in this light.

TINA COMOLLI, 1964 INSIGHT A tiny speck of understanding. Floating on and under The mud-filled puddle Of human lives, Seen only to the open eye. LYN McGRATH, 1964 EVENING IN THE SMALL BLACK TOWN Dark brown thrushes And grasses quiver; Night airs shiver In the small black town. Lone trains whistle, Soft sounds lowly Fall quiet slowly In the small black town. LYN McGRATH. 1964 Little sparrow Hies away Perhaps he looks for something. ANN STEELE, 1964 ( The hoodlum night Smothers life’s light out of daytime And stands Brandishing his reward — the stars. ANN STEELE, 1964 66 THE END OF THE WORLD Jt is the end of the world: the albatross has fallen through the yellow skies And now lies dead upon the moss green of the earth. Below, the earth-worms are still and the only sound is die ocean, the soft winds. There is no one left to mourn. LYN McGRATH, 1964 SOMETIMES Sometimes 1 wish to be the wind which blows the blue and red and yellow kite of a happy boy on a Sunday. Sometimes I wish to be a clumsy pigeon in a sunny park to eat bread from dirty stubby hands. Sometimes 1 wish to be a vacant lot where children laugh and scream and are natural and free. Sometimes 1 wish to be me and love people. RAMONA TRULLOIS, 1965 She bleeds raw tears which crystallize like winter diamonds in a mossy place. She is a fragment of a windy night; her eyes are frozen bits of wisdom full and sad. See, through the skeletons of leafless trees— la moon! EM1L1E NADLER, 1965 67 LIFE A drop of rain Is born in the sky. It falls into the world And is formed in the streams, Tossing, turning and tumbling. It enters the river Where it is matured, Being swirled and hurled Up, down and around. Finally, with the rest It flows into the ocean Only to rise to its inevitable rebirth. IDALANE BARDEEN, 1965 THE DEATH OF ABEL Look at his eyes, Adam. He was your son Born of me Through joy and pain. See— he smiles at me yet. Was it a dream?— there in the garden’s sinless silence; Crushing blossoms in my hair, your hands so fine. My hands now are knobbed and loose old hands. EM I LIE N ADLER, 1965 Stop! Wait for me— Can’t you see I want to play With you today. Don’t move so quick Don’t play that trick Of running, spying Leaving me crying. I will chase you and catch you and hit you. 1 don’t make a sound To tell you I’m hurt; I fall to the ground, My thumb tastes like dirt. ANN STEELE, 1964 68 Perfume fills this heated room, A single lightbulb lights the gloom As 1 see myself preparion for this night In happiness that makes the room more bright. A smile written on my face, I ran to meet him in this place. All that remains is a sickly smell, Smoke and heat — a kind of hell. My life is darkened by tonight, A single bulb gives little light. ANN STEELE, 1964 It is no longer— was it ever in my power To catch him close to me at any time? He has raised a wall of nothingness between; Were it something known and felt To be torn apart, 1 could grind Its heartless fragments into the ground. Gone— and to an undisclosed reason Free as the wind, if not less predictable. Why should 1 grieve who had no claim on him When he is surely gone?— Is error in supposing my heart freed Only to find 1 cannot close my heart Held fast to memory. What should I say or do? It was he chose me Not otherwise. Moreover if 1 lavished Extravagant affection on him, he deserved all. I have been honest in love, as is my way; He silent, as is his. I cannot grieve Unless for having vexed him by unmasking A jewelled virtue he was loathe to use. EM1LIE NADLER. 1965 69 THE WORKING COMMUNITY Cooperative Council Cooperative Council is the bridge of cooperation between the faculty and the students of Mount Ver- non. It discusses problems, possible legislation, and examines the proposals of students for change. By holding open meetings, members of the Student Body may attend, and thus are able to understand exactly how Cooperative Council works, how their voices can be heard and what an important part they themselves are in a successful student government.

Student Court is the judicial branch of government at Mount Vernon, which handles cases of social mis- conduct. It consists of the Vice-President of the Stu- dent Body who presides over the court, the President of the Student Body, and three members from each of the two classes. The Director of Student Activities serves in an advisory capacity to the court. Cases appearing before the Court deal with viola- tions of the Citizenship Code, which exceed the juris- diction of House Council. Each case allows the student to be heard and the facts to be reviewed. Decisions of more serious nature may be referred to the President and Dean for consideration. A statement then is sub- mitted to the Student Body relating the type of offense and punishment. Honor Council Gail litzgcrald. Carol Craig (President), Susan Flather, Jill Ford, Ramona Trullois. hi le honor is a highly ] ersonal matter, there is and must be a code to insure equal evaluation of all academic work. The function of the Honor Council is to see that this code is upheld. But it is necessary to remember that this is a collective effort of the Mount ernon Community and does not rest solely upon this group. 72 Optima Pam Sporl, Lonnie Brown, Mary Lou Hackenberg, Joan Brown, Carol Craig (President). Optima is the honor society at Mount Vernon. The girls who are eligible for election to Optima must not only be good citizens but also have attained a place on three out of four consecutive Dean’s Lists. By belong- ing to Optima, a student is also eligible for member- ship in Phi Theta Kappa, the National Junior Col- lege Honorary Scholastic Society. The emblem of Optima is the Greek letter Omega combined with a lighted torch. Omega signifies attain- ment through effort and the torch is the emblem of the inspiration which the ideals of Optima should stand for in the college. It is the aim of Optima to maintain and strengthen high standards of scholarship and uprightness at Mount Vernon. Social League Susan Carnage, Marcia Mercer, Betsy Armistead.

Lend-A-Hand is a volunteer organization for those girls interested in serving the community. Training by the Red Cross is given in the Fall in order that girls may work as Gray Ladies in hospitals of the city. Lend-A-Hand also sends girls to the Receiving Home for Children once a week, where they offer the children outside interest and companionship. The services of Lend-A-Hand also extend outside the immediate community. F ' or the past few years, the organization has supported a foster child, given money to the United Givers Fund, and planned projects to raise money for the “Good Ship Hope.” The Social League organizes the social activities for the Student Body. It consists of a president elected by the Student Body, Mrs. Mosier, faculty advisor, and other members who represent not only the various houses but also the Day Students. Ranging from more informal gatherings such as the Limbo party for the new freshmen in September and house parties which are given throughout the year to more formal functions including the Christmas Dance and the Spring Weekend, Social League has tried to create a livelier atmosphere for the Student Body. A unique feature this year during semester interim was the Ski Trip held at the Homestead. Being the great success that it was, it is hoped that it will be continued in the years to come. 73 Chapel Committee Marcia Mercer, Pam Smith (Chairman), Diane Ditz. Dr. Sterling Edwards.

Young Republicans The Mount Vernon Young Republicans is a part of the Regional Federation of Young Republicans. Through speakers and debates on and off campus, edu- cational reading material, and voluntary work with Congressmen, there is a wonderful chance to find out about the Republican Party and its various stands on current issues. When such events at the National Con- vention convene, the Federation sees that Young Re- publican members can attend. Such opportunities make being a member of the Mount Vernon Young Republicans invaluable. Chapel Committee is responsible for selecting the programs and speakers for chapel and vesper services. In combining with the Religious Forum, they arrange for distinguished religious guests to participate in free discussions open to all students. C.C.U.N. The Collegiate Council for the United Nations was organized by the first Intercollegiate Institute on the United Nations, held in June of 1948 in New York City. At the present time CCUN has over 400 campus groups throughout the United States. The main ac- tivity of these groups of students is to study and sup- port the United Nations and to create an awareness of and appreciation for the U. N. in the balance of the student body. We try to achieve this at Mount Vernon, through a series of lecturers and group trips and varied activities such as: UN Day, UNICEF Christmas Carols and The Mock U.N. General Assembly for the CCUN groups in the Middle Atlantic Region. Merrilyn Bardes, Barbara Workman.

Curtain Callers Creative Writing Group 1 it Su ie Cain. Judy Buck, Idalanc Bardeen, Kittie Terrie. Emily Nadler, Mr. William Mosier (Advisor), Ann Steele (President). The Creative Writing Group submits and edits the works that comprise the yearly magazine “The Blue Stocking” and one section in the yearbook. The writing group, with the instruction of Mr. William Mosier, learns, by constructive criticism, the tech- niques of creative writing. Being a new club, the future hopefully holds more material and more “Blue Stockings.” Amy Gates, Doli Rodriques, Betsy Parish. Martha Wads- worth, Mrs. Julia Heflin (Advisor), Ann Steele (President). Bonnie Cook. JoEllcn Kcnnevan. Judy Oliver. Tertia Wallace, Judy Buck. “The Curtain Callers” offers students practice in the dramatic arts, including both acting and back-stage work. With the instruction of Mrs. Julia Heflin, the director, skills are developed. In this past year the club put on two readings, one for Founders Day and one for Christmas. In April, “The Curtain Callers” performed in Shaw ' s, You Never Can Tell , the last play of the year. 75 Glee Club Genic Grkovic, Pam Meacham. Dance Club The Dance Club is designed to meet the interests and talents of girls advanced in dance techniques. This year the club has concentrated their efforts in the field of isolation and rhythm with special emphasis on individual studies. Under the supervision of Mrs. Mosier and Mrs. Legters, the College and Preparatory School combined in the Fall and Spring to present their productions. The most effective selections were the interpretations of Japanese folklore and the study of colors in mixed forms. The Glee Club of Mount Vernon is active in the weekly chapel service and vesper services, which are held monthly. The most important performances of the year are the Christmas vespers and the Spring pro- duction of “Dido and Aeneas” and “Hansell and Gretel”. Of particular interest was the invitation re- ceived to sing at Fort Belvoir in Engleside, Virginia. Under the guidance of Mr. Eckert, the advisor, the Glee Club has become one of the more promising and active groups on campus. Mr. William Eckert (Director). Becky Weaver.

Folk Singing Group The students in Folk Singing, although it has been popular for many years in the community was not formally organized into a group until last fall. The group consists of four girls and Mr. Mosier, a partici- pating faculty member. The group was very successful in entertaining the Student Body at the Christmas Dinner. Their activities have also taken them to the House for the Blind, and to various wards at D.C. General Hospital. Of special concern was their recording of an album of well known ballads and spirituals this Spring. Clue Club Mary Ixm Hackcnbcrg, Bonnie Cook, Bindy Moore. Ann Steele, Mr. Charles Stores, Kit- tie Terrie, Marcia Meleski, Karen McCord. Because of the interest shown this year by a group of zealous students in The Clue Club of America, it was decided to institute a regional branch of the Asso- ciation on the Mount Vernon campus. As the club is unique in this area, it was, unfortunately impossible to schedule any intercollegiate games. Due to the high standards required for membership, all qualified candidates became officers. Belinda Lee Moore — Chairman of the Board; Owner and Trainer. Mary Louise Hackcnbcrg — President and Assistant Trainer. Bonnie O’Hagan Cook — President Pro Tempore. Karen Kac McCord — Motto Chairman and Field Trip Organ- izer. Marcia Louise Meleski — Button Chairman and Dean of Admissions. Ann Ogilvie Steele — Secretary-Treasurer and Theme Song Chairman.

Dottie McCollum, Susan Flather, Katie Crocker, Linda Fish. Sue McMullen. The Athletic Association is headed by an Athletic Committee composed of representatives from both the residents and Day Students. Its aim is to promote inter-collegiate sports and intramural games. In the fall and spring the organization sponsors a Faculty-Student Sports Day, which enables the various rivals to settle their built in controversies. Needless to say, it is a day filled with lots of laughs and fun for all. In May a Banquet brings its activities to a close for the year. 78 IMPRESSIONS 80 82 83 Bell Cote Patrons Donors Mr. and Mrs. Oliver L. Bardcs Mr. C. Waller Barrett Mr. and Mrs. H.
