STUDENT LIFE WHAT A SCANDAL! IFJIMMY ONLY KNEW THE NEXT LIZ TAYLOR’S OF BROADWAY The freshmen of ’81 brought alot of hysteria to the MVC cam- pus when it came time to putting on the traditional and now somewhat controversial varieties program. The skits were centered on the popular song, “Celebrate good times come on , and unfor- tunately the show wasn’t all clean-cut. But luckily we passed inspec- tion with a squeeky margin and curfews were lifted. What a relief!

Of course it’s for par ties. 30 31 BLACK TIE PUCKER UP MY SWEETS — THERE’S A CAMERA GROUPIES Winter weekend began with the annu- al black tie affair. Dressed in cocktail dresses and black tie everyone entered the Washington arts club to listen to Jimmy Bishop and Turning Point. Sat- urday the crowd headed for Winsor McKay’s. Though cold, the football game in the afternoon brought alot of fun. Sunday the gang strolled (or crawled) into the pub for a mcdonalds brunch. This of course was the day after a night of Pendltons. Fun! 32 SMILE GIRLS! 33 FEBRUARY LOVES A CRUSH BAHAMAS HERE I COME BAHAMAS BASH In the cold winter season. MVC’s pub was warmed by Tropical beach music and bright colors.

It is a delight to see you so ready, so confident, so eager to move on to the challenges aw r aiting you, but it is very sad to face the prospect of losing you. Remember, some of you were there when I was interviewed back in the spring of 1980 — we’ve done a lot of growing together these past two years. Mount Vernon has also done a lot of grow ing in your time here. Since you arrived as freshmen, programs have been added, new faculty has joined us, the calendar has changed and a full scale planning effort has gotten under- way, with your help and participation. You’ve also shared in substantial growth in the areas of student leadership and involvement in our community. As you move through this important passage, I know that the foundation we’ve built together will provide a solid footing for continued growth in you as individuals. I know too that the college has been building its base for grow ing and developing as an institution. Like you, we’ve got a lot of potential to realize in the future. So, go you must — but I know you’ll continue to be a part of Mount Vernon, watching us grow f and change as you certainly will. My thoughts and warmest wishes go w ith you — M.
