Mount Vernon High School - Surveyor Yearbook (Alexandria, VA)

Page 13 text:

These glimpses into the school life at Mount Vernon High have been woven into the theme of advances cooperatively made in developing a world with freedom from want, freedom from fear, freedom of speech and expression, and freedom of worship. This volume contains vital information about our school. Its real worth, however, is not the information its furnishes, but the impressions on your memory of a dynamic life, lived while with us. May we be mindful of the senior class mottor: Non Progredi est Regredi. For the boys and girls who are offering their lives on the battlefront, may we offer this prayer: May God give you strength to do His will To love mankind; the rich and the poor; To climb from the valley, high on a hill And put His love above earthly lure.
