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.

The Lawrence Washington Chapter of the National Honor Society was organized to create an enthusiasm for scholarship, a desire to render service, to promote worthy leadership, and to encourage the development of character through- out the entire student body of the school. This chapter is composed of members of the junior and senior classes chosen on the basis of scholarship, character, cooperation, person- ality, and leadership. They must also have yearly averages of E’s and G’s on each subject for the preceding years in high school. The chapter membership was increased in February when eleven juniors and one senior were invited into the club.
