Without their guidance and assistance there would not have even been a yearbook. Rosemary, as Director of Student Activities, is a very busy woman but she managed to organize a yearbook staff, get things rolling, and then she was always there to help the staff work out problems Melinda, as the Photog- raphy teacher, was an immense help to the Yearbook photographers as well as a technical advisor to the staff They are both newcomers to Mount Vernon but their contributions are already felt and appreciated. 4 WE DEDICATE . . 5 6 SCHOOL LIFE FALL WINTER 7 jWL 8 THE GATEHOUSE GALLERY 10 STUDENT GOVERNMENT The officers of the Student Government were: President — Lisa Krohn, VP for Student Affairs — Alexa Scott, Asst VP for Student Affairs — Nancy Robbins, VP for Judicial Affairs — Barbara Jean Martin, Asst.

On Friday, October 17 at 6:15 p.m. the Fresh- men were locked in the gym to organize and practice skits that were going to be performed on Saturday night and the pressure was on. If successful the upperclassmen would approve the performance and there would be no more signing in, curfews or trash duty. Luckily the Class of 1984 succeeded and their skits were approved. Whew! 12 “THE FOLLIES” An interesting mixture of talent and just plain fun, the Follies exhibited the talent in many Mount Vernon students. The Judi- cial Board and Curtain Callers put in many hours to pull all of the acts together and everyone involved presented a production far more elaborate than a talent show, ft was a fun night and a vital contribution to Mount Vernon, 13 FOUNDER’S DAY The Mount Vernon birthday party is always a celebration. It was MVC ' s 105th and many helped to organize and make the birthday party a success. Marta Istomin, Artistic Director of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Per- forming Arts, was the special guest of the college and spoke about her career and the values of the Arts, 14 15 17 BIG-SISTER LITTLE-SISTER The Big-Sister Little-Sister program was new this year. Alexa Scott, Joan Riley and Nancy Robbins got it started with a pool party at the beginning of the year. The program allows for upperclassmen to help freshmen with their first year at college. Throughout the year, the “sisters held parties in the pub and the Thanksgiving party was one. 18 MARILYS ERNST PERFORMS Marilys Ernst graduated in December but before she left Mount Vernon, she performed ethic h of her music at a very special farewell party in the pub. Marilys was the director of the Curtain Callers and her musical talent was a great asset to Mount Vernon. 19 WINTER WEEKEND The Social League spongers two big weekends at Mount Vernon, one in the winter and one in the spring. The Winter Weekend this year was a huge success, A “Roaring 20V’ party started it off, a formal dance at the Pension Building the next night, and a McDonald’s brunch in the pub brought the weekend to a close. Mt. Vernon students start thinking about dates in September and the guvs coine from all over! 20 21 22 23 Before everyone goes home for Christmas vacation it is always a treat to have a Christmas celebration and the Chapel Committee organized it this year. Phil Bolton read a Christmas story, students sang along with a Gospel Choir and the antics and wonderful harmonies of the Georgetown Chimes all made Mount Vernon ' s Christmas very special. CHRISTMAS! 24 25 The Beacon Honor Society, which is made up of the students with honorable academic achievements, sponsored a Christmas party for the Maintenance staff at Mount Vernon. It was a very special party and got everyone in the Christmas spirit. 26 The Black Alliance Club is a very strong organization at Mount Vernon. Its mem- bers raised money for the Atlanta slayings case, collected canned food for the poor, honored Black History month by inviting notable black speakers and musicians to Mount Vernon and held a Christmas party for foster children. This party was very special and gave the children a true sense of Christ mas. 27 The International Club is an organization of the many foreign students at Mount Vernon, Throughout the year they held elaborate dinner parties like this one at Christmas, which featured delicious international cuisine. 28 29 30 31 SPECIAL EVENTS AT Celebrity Bartender Night featured the talents of Pat Bala n. Bob Gustafson, Dr. Judith Weiner, and Sally Donnor among others, and was a lot of fun for all the Pub regulars. 32 THE PUB Once a month the Pub Entertainment Committee (PEC) sponsored a number of Coffee Houses with live mellow music. The music w r as quiet and relaxing and it was a great break from studying and the regular bars in town. 33 CONVERSATIONS WITH . Conversations With . . is a special program where notable guests are invited to speak in Post Hall on issues pertaining to Mount Vernon students. There were often interesting discussions that inspired all who attended. 34 AND THEN THE PARTIES! What is the MVC Quad for? PARTIES! And every nice Sunday during the fall and spring the Social League proved it! The quad parties this year were always successful and a lot of fun. There was plenty of beer, tunes, and sun. Some of the dorms held parties too, and were equally successful. 35 36 37 38 $9 40 41 42 SENIORS 43 Margaret Adams Kathryn King Archie “Could you babysit for me Saturday night? 1 44 Mary Anne Swint Bennett Eliza Brown “Creating, dancing, music, art, laughing, loving, and sharing, not necessarily in that order, is my phi- losophy of living ’ 45 Deborah Boykin Broyles 46 Diane B.

Thomas Moore Mary Elizabeth LeMacks “There are friends who feed the spirit, and those who feed the senses, and some with whom the attachment is emotional and warm.

The girls who lived here had very clean ankles due to the flooding showers, and that wonderful fire drill at 5:00 a,m.? It’s been a great year!

Many can remember Linda’s procrastinators club (which some of the members even procrastinated going to), the Hensley Health Club, Christmas party with the Pres, and Chinese New Years at her house. And of course, don’t forget Linda’s wonderful study breaks and popcorn.

Jessica’s room wasn’t the cleanest thing around but Michelle Noble thought it was “fine’ 1 ! The girls in this dorm had a lot of fun this year - — a little wild to say the least!

Luckily, Jeanie Falinskie was close by when the Ames Hallway basketball team played, Sandra Bensaude went so crazy with all of this that she took off for the Bahammas! Who says bigger is better? Ames obviously begs to differ. Jeri Sue Arledge, Emily Helzberg, Hours Rais, Gianina Quisumbing, Laura Arellano, Barbara Allen, DesIVeiges Ter- rien, Sandra Bensaude. Missing — Angela Beverly, Robin Bur- ton, Felecia Johnson, Maria Sauto, Alicia Taylor, Ramona Younger. SOMERS Somers dorm had an interesting year. Remember that Zate fraternity party? And what about the kissing bandit who made its mark all over the dorm or the thief who stole everyone’s blue jeans from the laundry room? Nevertheless, a new kitchen and an electronic game were installed and with them came the Scarsdale and lets just say, new found talents?

In these hails, reside the students who chose to opt for a little “privacy” What they got were good legs from trekking back and forth to classes! There were advantages to living in Pelham tough, like those great porch parties that are unique to that dorm. And the cookouts whose smells drove everyone crazy. Then there were the baby powder, shaving cream and water battles. The continuous supply of popcorn during finals was as great as were the goodies at the dorm study breaks and the drinks at the cocktail party. What about the night the screams in the woods brought police and helicopters descending upon the dorm. And who can forget lovable Ryan and his nightly visits or his pull toys that went “quack” in the night. Memories of life at Pelham will last a long time but does anyone really believe that its leaky roof will last another year? 91 92 ADMINISTRATION FACULTY and STAFF 93 ADMINISTRATION Dr. Jane Evans President When Dr. Jane Evans spoke at Convocation in September, it seemed as if the year 1980-81 was going to be very promising — and it was. Although the first year can be difficult for a new president of a college, Jane Evans has done a fantastic job. Be- cause she has taken the time to get to know Mount Vernon, its students, faculty, administration, and staff, Jane Evans has gained a wonderful insight about the school, its goals, needs, and achievements. With her fresh enthusiasm and vitality, Mount Ver- non can look forward to many exciting and fulfilling years ahead.

Spring is a great time for parties and there were lots of good times on the quad this year Plenty of beer and tunes were sure attractions for guys from the area schools— -not to mention the shorts! The Senior class bought two round-trip tickets to the Bahamas and everyone brought a suitcase to the party. One lucky person won those tickets and took off for the sun, Sandra Bensaude was the fortunate one this year. Did she ever come back? If so WHY?! 139 SPRING WEEKEND 140 141 142 143 The Spring Carnival was a huge success and everyone had a great time. There were rides for the kids like the Moon bounce and the clown car, and some of the booths included a goldfish toss, dart booth, dunking booth and a betting wheel. Ballons were sold by one dorm while another raised money by throwing pies for a price (a big There were craftspersons, a flea market, bake sale and other features. There was lots of food but Bob’s Famous Ice Cream and beer were the big sellers.

But somehow, through all of our inexperience, frustration, and worry, we did it! And now that our job is finished, we hope that the 1980-81 Phoenix will hold many memories that you will treasure now and in years to come. In that way, it has all been worth it.
