ART CLUB A large group, a new and talented sponsor, a lovely new room and many styles of art appre- ciation combined to form the art club this year. To show their appreciation for the use of the new art department, the club gathered a large selection of pictures and illustrations dem- onstrating the basic theories of design, color, composition, and rhythm. These illustrations were permanently filed to be used as reference material by future art classes. The annual art exhibit and contest was again sponsored by the club. Throughout the year the members increased in their knowledge of the practical application of art. Left to right: Darlene Thornton, treasurer; Sylvia Brown, secretary; Jack Myers, reporter; Janice Har- low, vice-president; Joe Brown, president. 24

FORENSIC CLUB Delia Armstrong sets a good example of an all important function of the class— that of ac- quiring good speaking poise. One of the primary purposes of the class is to give its members experience in debating. A practice debate in progress is a familiar scene to those of us who share in public speaking. Left to right: Charles Wilson, Dick Kinsler, Nancy Thurston, Nancy Sunder. Classmates exchange ideas during an informal discussion on current debate topics.

The Key Club of Mount Vernon is spon- sored by the Kiwanis Clubs of Alexandria and Woodbridge. This is an honorary club for boys; the members are selected on the basis of scholar- ship and citizenship and must be approved by the principal, the faculty sponsor, and members of the club. The motto of this organization, “We Build”, is very appropriate as the chief objective of the club is to gain experience in those civic activi- ties which will benefit the school in every way possible. Some of the many activities of the club are the annual P.T.A. membership drive, the spring hobby show, a cake-baking contest and sale, the sale of Easter seals, and the daily raising and lowering of the flag. First row, left to right: Norman Ridgeway, secretary; Tommy Downey, reporter; Bob Hardage, vice-president. Second row: Mrs. Ames, sponsor; Frank Estep, treasurer; William H. Davis, president.
