lane Snyder Editor in Chief The Em Vee Hi, the Mount Vernon High School student publication, is published monthly by the newspaper staff, contributors, and the journalism class members. A great amount of work is put into each issue Writing, proofing, editing, setting up a dummy, and meeting deadlines are only a part of putting out a good publication. The Em Vee Hi is a member of the honor- ary writing society, the Quill and Scroll, and the Southern Interscholastic Press. Each year the Em Vee Hi has taken various awards and criticisms from the Southern Interscholas- tic Press Association. This year delegates from the Em Vee Hi attended the Southern Inter- scholastic Press Conference at Washington and Lee University, in Lexington, Virginia. In order to increase the number of subscrip- tions, the Em Vee Hi staff sponsored a draw- ing of subscribers ' names with tickets to ath- letic events as prizes. The Kick-off Dance for the commencing of the magazine drive, and the Talent Show also were sponsored by the newspaper. ’Em Vee Hi staff members prepare copy for press. Pictured above are: Cynthia A. Ben- nett, Joanne Ulrick, Beverly Vail. Marie Agnes Clarke, Kav Wall, Skippy Gould, and Joyce Terry.

Student Government Association The Student Council Association, which was organized in 1935, is one of the most honored and respected organi- zations in our school. The S. C. A. is functioned through a house of representatives, which are students selected from each home-room, a Senate, which is composed of two Senators from each grade, a Cabinet consisting of sixteen members which help in Student Government projects, a president and four other elected officers, and the Co-ordinating Body, which is the go-between for Faculty, Administration, and Students. The Student Gov- ernment keeps on a busy schedule all during the school year. One of the highlights of the year is the annual mag- azine campaign. Our total sales for this year will finance clubs and school activities. This year the Student Govern- ment printed student telephone directories, listing each student ' s name, address, and telephone number. The handbook will also be published this year, edited by David Suml er, our reporter. We sent delegates to the County meetings, and the state convention at Fredericks- berg. Our aim in the Student Government is to instill in each student a finer sense of honor and responsibility. In at- tempting to accomplish our aim, the Student Government has successfully maintained a wider and more keenly felt spirit of self-reliance among our students. To the Student Government we look for leadership and we follow it as a guide with a true sense of loyalty and friendship.
