We crown thee all victorious And sing thy praise aloud ' In Loyalty we serve thee And strive to heed they call Mount Vernon . 0 f Mount Vernon! Through self to conquer all. II You give unfailing kindness If trouble meet us here: You foster all our pleasures And make them seem more dear . Nor time , nor car. nor sorrow Can these fair days erase. But they, with each to-morrow Help us new tasks to face HI Like Breath of Spring ' s fresh morning That lifts the heart to song. When courage droops and wavers And paths seem gray and long f Will come thy dauntless spirit To help us on the way. Mount Vernon , 0, Mount Vernon! Hold fast they tender sway . IV The Changing years may bring us Some longed for dream of bliss , Yet memory will cherish A sympathy we mtss. I n hours of joy or sadness f Whatever our need may be P Mount Vernon , 0, Mount Vernon! Thy children turn to thee . 1 YEARBOOK DEDICATION The 1988 yearbook is dedicated to Lola Clausius, a woman who has given us a taste of the future — by requiring us to pay our bills on time! As we pass through her office, her jokes and kind words provide a sense of home. No one knows what her exact job title is, but we all know to go to her for advice and problem-fixing.. When no one else can get us to smile or laugh — Lola can! Thank you, Lola. 3 CONVOCATION 4 CONVOCATION AND LIBRARY DEDICATION The academic year began officially with Convocation and the dedication of the Charles Ellison Eckles and Anita Heurich Eckles Memorial Library on September 1 8th.
