There is also, the view of our school from various angles, and athletic events. In leafing through your book now and in years to come, may you fnd these few can¬ did snaps helpful in remem¬ bering many of the days and months that each of you have spent here at Mount Vernon. 7 JUit As fall comes upon us, there are mixed feelings of excitement and anticipation. Not only does fall bring an end to many of the pleasant things of summer, but is is the beginning of many joyful days, spent together with our peers. Fall also means an end to summer’s freedom and the beginning of ones educational resjjonsibilities. So with the fall season upon us. we find ourselves making new friends and seeking greater accomplishments. FALL THE FI RST WEEK Wt ! • ww i Hkm ' ' ciiin ' mlniEils v ™i63.1 1 1 H 1 ■uV . W -mpn 1= :f m r:Ur flddfl The first week of school was, in many ways, a rewarding and new experience for many of us — some it was much the same as previous years. Once again we saw famil¬ iar faces, both among faculty and classmates . . . there was the ex¬ citement of renewing old friend¬ ships and frequenting old places . . . there was a remodeled cafe¬ teria and additions galore. How¬ ever, jnost of the excitement came from just returning to our “home” and many pleasant memories. And, it is with much pleasure, and a touch of nostalgia, that we cherish the memories of the First Week of School.

The class sponsor is Miss Peacock. The Junior Class elected officers at the end of their sophomore year, and began as early as August in engaging in prosperous and successful activities. We sponsored the doughnut, victory tag and book cover sales during the first semester. And, at Christ¬ mas time, we sponsored a door decorating contest for home rooms. We have given support to the for¬ eign exchange student drive, and we co-sponsored a spring dance with the senior class. We took Prelim¬ inary Scholastic Aptitude Tests which proved help¬ ful to many of us who anticipate entering college in the near future. Also, College Board exams were taken by many and we found these to be beneficial as well as enlightening. After a successful year we, as juniors, look forward with enthusiasm to our year — 1964. 76 Juniors accept new responsibilities Russell Abbott Sherry Abel Mary Adams Mary K.

The class sponsor is Mrs. Garrison. The class of 1965 began its existence this year with six hundred and five members. Early in the year we elected our officers and began a busy and fun- filled year. We attempted to serve our school, the community and our fellow students by financing and printing programs for junior varsity sports, giving a Christmas party for orphans and an old folks home and many other activities. We have begun to realize our responsibilities, both to ourselves and to our school, and of the many tasks in which we must have a part in order to make the wheel of time turn. We look forward to our fu¬ ture here at Mount Vernon and to the exciting days ahead and ultimately the day of graduation. 92 active participants Randy Abbott Deni Achee Marie Adams Robert Adams Thomas Adinaro Ursula Alexander David Alligood Carol Ames Florence Anderson John Anderson Richard Andrews Mary Angel William Antonelli Evert Arnet Joanne Arnett David Aschenbach Jack Ashcraft Patricia Austin Juan Aviles Frederick Ayers Faye Aylor Sharon Baez Denise Bailey Connie Baird Cleveland Baker Mark Baker Patricia Baker Susan Baldwin Jeanette Ballow Ralph Bane Dennis Banks Carl Barnes Randy Barnett Paul Barry Ralph Barton Marsha Bathurst Edward Bautz Dorothy Beavers Peggy Beckman Paul Beighley Dale Bell Milton Bennett Susan Bentley Beatrice Bernat Miriam Bernat Mary Berrey Robert Berry Susan Berzak Mark Bianchi Michael Bianchi Ethel Bibber Janet Bishop Anita Black Linda Blaisdell Ronald Blout Stephen Bobyak Genella Boe Theodore Bollinger Diane Bonn Judith Bonner Chris Booth Gail Boyd Kathleen Bradshaw Marilyn Bralley Patricia Brewer Karen Brinckman Susan Brock Anne Brown Bonnie Brownell Gerard Bruger 93 Jeffrey Bryson Richard Buchanan Violet Burks Barbara Burleson Douglass Burnes John Burns Cynthia Burrell David Butcher Jeffrey Byrd Elliott Caldwell Sallie Callahan Carol Campbell Diane Campbell Gail Campbell Mark Campbell Stanley Cancilla Andrew Carey James Carlin Pamela Carlock Cynthia Carlson Marg aret Carlson Philip Carlson Alice Carlton D avid Carmola Linda Carson Diana Carter Susan Carver Donna Casey Cynthia Catchpole Pamela Ceresi Kelly Chance Jacquelyn Chandler Wesley Chapeal John Christensen Donna Cicione Work with Candy Clark Donald Clark Joan Clark Wolfgang Clayton Janis Cleveland Robert Cline Philip Coe Cynthia Coffman Gay Coletto Madeline Connell Craig Connelly William Convely Carolyn Cook Stephen Cook Thomas Cook Lynn Cooksey Sophomores exchange laughs a 94 Michael Cornell Betty Cox Nancy Cox Wade Crabill Jean Crabtree Linda Crabtree Wendy Crarnn Gene Culbertson Tom Cunninf’ham Daniel Cyphers Kathleen Dalton James Danowski Donna Daugherty Michael Davenport Arthur Davis Douglas Davis Gerald Davis Keith Davis Sharon Davis Dallas Dawson Gregory Deeth Jacqueline Deets Roderick Dennehy Joy Deranek Donald Desmond David DeWitt Lynne Dickerson Karen Dinser Mary Dirhan Sandra Dixon George Dodd Deborah Dodge Claire Dominy LeVette Dominy enforce our Honor Code friendly conversation at the lunch table.

We have contributed our enthusiasm and spirit to the many activities this year in which we have partic¬ ipated. The newness of high school will diminish when we return next year, and we shall realize the seriousness of the world of knowledge to be gained. We have envied the hurried and exciting life of the seniors, and longed for the time when we would take their places. And so it is — next year we shall return as sophomores and, in time, we shall wear the robes of distinction.

After long, tiresome hours of afternoon practice, the Majors slipped by Lee in their opener, 6-0. The most outstanding contest of the season was our ill-fated game against Hammond, which was won by Hammond with a field goal in the fourth quarter. This game was perhaps the best eontest in iSorthern I’irginia this year. The Majors, led by co-captains Jim Jenkins, Corky Cash, and Tom Callahan, compiled an impressive 5-4-0 record in Northern T irginia Grouf) 1, and a 4-2-0 record in Fairfax County. The Majors were greatly helped this year by the performances of Ray Graham, Ed Lowry, Leigh Angel, and Alan Weston. With these and many other experienced junior class- men, along with talented boys moving up from J.V., the Majors look forward to another winning season. 114 Varsity: FRONT ROW: Graham, Sivak, Robey, Gh Angel, Murphy, and Howell.

Mount Vernon High School is very proud of her girls in that they have been able to achieve winning seasons for the past several years. This year’s team was led to their victories by Joyce Gilles, who was the top scorer, Lolly Frick, Missy Smith and Pat Kursch. Even though these girls are seniors and will he leaving this spring, next year’s team will be supported by a host of fine Junior Varsity players. Because there are more schools in Fairfax County this year, it was impossible to have a county champion. However, we were tied with Annandale for the county lead. 120 ■ i jm - ‘ -e r- ■ , ' . jf i� “.fc«f tMfh 4 %• V « ■■ «aCTJ!B aaf Junior Varsitv: FRONT ROW: Fe rrand, Knox, Schreiner, Haseman, Cox, Sullivan, Giesen, and Hatfield.

Mount Vernon went back to beat Carroll High and Gaithersburg with a score of 350 points. The team will return this spring to compete in the final competition. For a week before the first game, the team spent their last period of the day being drilled by the M. V. Debate Club in questions concerning science, math, literature, and world affairs. These sessions along with much individual research readied them for the game. Paul Haseman and Tom Lederer were chosen as alternates in the case of an absence on the team.

Sell Magazines Sponsored by the Student Cooperative Association, this year’s Magazine Subscription Campaign was one of the most successful in the history of Mount Vernon. Because of the support of active students, especially the Sophomores, a total of nearly $11,000 in sales was accumulated during the ten-day campaign. After all expenses were met, the S.C.A. was able to boast a profit of over $3,000 which is $1,000 more than the amount realized last year. Elaborate displays, sales charts and assemblies were used to encourage school-wide participation in this annual money-raising event.

Lacking the height of past seasons, the team was moulded around a hustling defense and a well balanced offense. The height disadvantage was offset, however, in the second Groveton tilt in which pin-point accuracy from the floor kept the game close u 7 itil in the final seconds when Groveton scored a field goal which gave them a 44-42 decision. Our team this year was fairly young, in that eight out of twelve boys will be back next season. Seniors Steve Partridge and Butch Robey played well for us this season, as did juriiors, Gary Dittrner, Hayes Hofler, Kerrnit Smith, and Ray Graham, who show fine potential for next season. Three outstanding sophomores, Dennis McGill, Rick Dennehy, and Fran Lawrence, saw much action this season and we will be expecting much more from them in the future.

Many hours of hard practice sessions helped these girls to gain the experience which they will find useful in future years. The J.V.’s started off slowly, but thanks to the excellent coaching by Mrs. Fordham they improved greatly by the end of the season. The girls played their best game against Falls Church. This was a hard fought contest which ended in a tie, 17-17. Another heart-breaker was the jayvee’s contest with Herndon, which Herndon won, 12-10 in the final minutes.

Also, there have been great advances in popularity of wrestling due to the efforts of our 1962 State Champions, John Soukey and Jimmy Jenkins. These two champs com¬ piled fantastic unbeaten strings until the Northern Virginia Tournament in which they were beaten. However, a bright note in the Northern Virginia Tournament was the success of Mike Bard in the 100 pound class. Although Soukey and Jenkins relin- guished their crowns in the State Tournament, Allen “Shorty Guerrina came through in the 133 pound class to retain one title at Mount Vernon. The real root of the Team ' s success are Coaches Stan Fant and Mike Snyder, who built team enthusi¬ asm, while patiently instructing the boys ' alertness and ability. Mount Vernon is extremely proud of her stalwart grapplers and looks forward for many more seasons of continued success.

During the summer, a new SCA office was erected by interested students and has served a s the center of student government and other school af¬ fairs. A printing press was purchased, installed in the various phases of school life. Managed by the SCA, this year’s magazine campaign was one of the most successful ever to be sponsored by Mount Vernon. A net profit of over $3,000 was boasted. Following the completion of the magazine drive, the SCA coordinated Homecoming activities and sponsored the gala Home¬ coming Dance. In addition to the installation of three new cabinet offices, the SCA was instrumental in obtaining a foreign exchange student for the coming year and in creating a better international understanding. It. also kept the stu¬ dent body informed on all activities through the use of a special SCA bul¬ letin board. With a hard working Assembly, the SCA was able to modernize and to make more efficient its functions by amending the constitution and making new laws. Aiding the school, the SCA helped to finance the formation of the Mount Vernon Boosters Club, new literary magazine, International Week, and the foreign student program. It voted funds for several conven¬ tions attended by school organizations, supported the annual canned food and toy drive, and donated equipment to school departments. 150 Association REPRESENTATIVES: FRONT ROW: DueFrene, Mat¬ thews, Florer, Walls, Wilson, Frytnire, and Kimberlin.

One of the newest of Mount Vernon’s student insti tutions this year was the literary magazine. Called the Transit it is a publication whose purpose is to represent the literary talents of the student body. Following assembly action of last year, the magazine was organized by the student gov¬ ernment and under the guidance of Miss Sandra Hepp, sponsor, and Tom Lederer, editor, the first issue appeared in early March. A second issue was published later in the spring. Generous patrons, a Jazz Concert, and SCA support were combined to put the magazine on a sound financial basis. Out to earn an extra dollar, the SCA went into a new business. Under the direction of the Secretary of Publications and with the hard work of several students, a print shop was operated in the SCA workshop. By printing such items for clubs, departments, teachers, and students, as member¬ ship cards, calling cards, handbooks, victory tags, and pro¬ grams, the print shop was able to pay for much needed office equipment for the SCA office. Much of every organization’s business is handled by committees and special workers. Credit for the SCA’s ac¬ complishments goes partially to several important groups. A new up-to-date student directory was published in the fall by Linda Summers’ committee. Directed by John Hubble, a skit was presented to inspire students to sell magazines.

This year the Surveyor staff consisted of five seniors and eight juniors who were chosen at the end of the preceeding year. Staff members began their many hours of work during the summer by planning the general layout and helping when Senior Class pictures were taken. Along with the Em Vee Hi staff, the yearbook staff at¬ tended the Eairfax County Scholastic Press Association meeting held at James Madison High School. Members at¬ tended various discussion groups on photography, business management, and general layout. We also hold membership in the National Scholastic Press Association and staff mem¬ bers attend the Southern Interscholastic Press Association held at Washington and Lee University, Lexington, Vir¬ ginia. The Surveyor Staff has worked many long and toilsome hours putting the book together this year. Each club mem¬ ber has spent his yearbook period and his study hall period each day developing the theme, taking pictures and doing all the necessary work to complete production. We have tried to give the Surveyor a “face-lifting” this year, and have tried to depict school life in chronological order, by centering the theme around school life.

Published by a staff of twenty-seven, the EM VEE HI has con¬ tinued its policy of handling news objectively, accurately, and completely. It has attempted to promote high ideals, citizenship, sportsmanship, scholastic achievement, and school spirit. Through its circulation of 1500 issues monthly, the EM VEE HI com¬ mands a local, area, and national audience. News of the high school is disseminated further through special copy prepared by staff members for local and metropolitan area newspapers. In order to maintain high journalistic standards, the newspaper claims membership in the Columbia Scholastic Press Association, the National Scholastic Press Association, and Southern Interscho¬ lastic Press Association. Fourteen of the staff members belong to the International Quill and Scroll Honor Society for High School Journalists. To broaden their knowledge of journalism, staff members have attended journalism conventions both on the national and regional levels. In March, ten staff members journeyed to New York City to attend the Columbia Scholastic Press Convention; in April, seven staff members participated in the Southern Interscholastic Press Convention held at Washington and Lee University in Lex¬ ington, Virginia. .

In addition to recognizing the superior achievement of the students of Mount Vernon High School, the Honor Society performs a valuable service to the school through its activities. This year the members of the Honor Society have centered their efforts on the functioning of the Student Book Store, aiding both the students and the faculty by the sale of books in the classroom as well as in the school store. Through the work of the club and through the patronage of the students and teachers, the Honor Society has become as integral part of the scholastic life of the school.

This was, in the eyes of our National Council, the first active year for the Lawrence Washington Chapter of the National Junior Honor Society since 1959, as communications with the Council have been recom¬ mended and the constitution was revised. Parents at¬ tending the PTA Back-To-School-Night were guided by Junior Honor Society members, and tutoring was an activity for most of the members. A sophomore excursion to Washington, mainly to view the Mona Lisa, was spon¬ sored by the Chapter. The intelligence and interests of the members were applied in various activities through¬ out the school, where a “standard name” program for the Chapter was started. Action was begun to obtain the handling of the Freshman and Sophomore Honor Roles and to have school floor plans made. Relationships for like and active minds are offered by an Honor Soci¬ ety, and the future as well as a meaningful present is enriched by the meeting of such minds.

Dee Ford Key Club Sweetheart This year the Key Club has shown itself to be an outstanding school organization. As the membership is representative of the best in all areas of school life, the Key Club had at its disposal unbounded ability and inde¬ fatigable enthusiasm. The results of these assets were both beneficial to the members as well as the school and community. The Key Club, as a service organization, enjoyed in Fund raising cam¬ paigns for The Children’s Hospital in Washington and the Cerebral Palsey Foundation. They also joined with the newspaper in conducting dancing lessons. The Key Club cleaned up after the Homecoming and Roaring Twenties Dances. Key clubbers raised school spirit by holding Slave Day and organizing a club cheering section under Bill Goodwin and Carter Hop¬ kins at the basketball games. The Key Club held a Fashion Show during Twirp Week. They have carried out plans for a school sign with the Alex¬ andria Kiwanis Club. Key Club leadership was exhibited by the large member support called to elect Gene Giffen as this division’s Lt. Governor in February at Fairfax High School. Many Key Clubbers attended the annual Key Club Convention at Roan¬ oke. All attending professed enjoyment of good fellowship and understand¬ ing of the principles for the organization’s foundation. From the efforts, achievements, and high standards possessed this year, it can be seen that the Key Club had exhibited the characteristics of a truly worthy and honor organization. 158 FRONT ROW: Whitely, Hopkins, Giffen, Robey, Thread- gill, Holsey, and Anderson.

In attempting to fulfill its motto, “We Serve”, the Keyette Club engaged in various activities devoted to the aiding of the school and the community. Through these projects its members, chosen on their character, academic standing, and most important, a willingness to serve, spent a very active and rewarding year. Of these undertakings the highlights included the giving of a tea by the club for its sponsors, the Ki-Wives, the sending of invitations for Homecoming, the babysitting for musical concerts, the selling of International Week tags, the teaching of the newest dance steps at after¬ school hops, and the presenting of the fashion show in collaboration with the Key Club. To the community the Keyette Club contributed by col¬ lecting old toys at Christmas for the Mental Health Association, assisting with TB X-rays, solliciting for the March of Dimes, and visiting the chil¬ dren’s ward of a local hospital. All these activities, then, composed the basis for a most useful and satisfying year. FRONT ROW: Burns, Treasurer; Cox, Reporter. SECOND ROW: Activity Com¬ mittee: Smith, Baran, and DueFrene.

The French Club reached this year the status of the most outstanding language club in the school’s history. Its large membership and equally large achievement gave evidence to this fact. With great eagerness the French Club jumped into the midst of activity at the start of the year. French restaurants were visited and the experiences of these visits are ones that will long re¬ main with each member. Many members had the plea¬ sure of seeing French plays while others had an oppor¬ tunity to present to the club programs about certain aspects of French culture. In essence, the French Club has worked hard this year to earn the recognition it deserves as a club whose only aim was to further an interest in French and in obtaining this goal each individual member deserves the credit.

French Honor Society The Societe Honoraire de Francais, better known as the French Honor Society, opened its activities at Mount Vernon this year with the induction of twenty-two char¬ ter members. Joining some two hundred fifty other chap¬ ters, the Mount Vernon society is under the sponsor¬ ship of Miss Olene Swain. Its goals are the promotion of scholarship in the study of the French language and leadership in the school and community. Composed entirely of juniors and seniors with an “A” average in three years of French, its meetings are conducted solely in French. Thus, with heavy emphasis on French and French culture in its activities, the Natio¬ nal French Honor Society has just completed its first successful year at Mount Vernon.

The Spanish Club had a very successful session under the sponsorship of Mr. Leonard Vaughn this year. Their first few meetings were for organizational purposes in which many activities and programs were planned. The Christmas party, always a high spot in the year for the Spanish Clubbers, was a great success. There was great entertainment and more than enough to eat which put both the club members and the sponsor in a jovial mood. Later in the year, Mrs. Profitt of Walt Whitman came to teach us various native dances of Peru. The members seemed very enthusiastic about this activity. Many more interesting and novel programs other than those mentioned, were carried out by the members of the Spanish Club. Some of them were: movies, slides, speakers from Latin American countries, and trips to Spanish res¬ taurants. We feel the club had a good and productive year.

Co-sponsoring Spanish Day with the Spanish Club during International Week, the society piped Latin-American music into the cafe¬ teria, arranged for a Spanish meal to be served, and set up displays in the cafeteria.

The Latin Club of Mount Vernon High School was founded for the purpose of offering worth¬ while activities to interested Latin students. Meet¬ ings were held to enrich the study of Roman cul¬ ture, emphasizing such aspects as dress, housing, food, customs, and celebrations such as the Satur¬ nalia, the Roman Thanksgiving. At the meetings educational games were played, such as Latin Scrabble, and a Latin day was held during Inter¬ national Week. The high point of the year ' s activi¬ ties was the Roman Banquet, held near the Ides of March, in commemoration of Cicero. For au¬ thenticity, costumes were worn indicating social positions. Wrestling, unison and selective singing, breek dancing, and dramatic presentations were forms of entertainment given during a sumptuous feast served by slaves. The Latin language has had a profound influence on our own language, and our study of the Roman civilization has been both instructive and rewarding.

The club was organized for the first time this year. Mrs. Howell, well-known French teacher versed in several other modern languages including German was asked to be the sponsor. The task was eagerly accepted as she wished to spread the language throughout the school and hoped, like the members of the club, that it will be taught at Mount Vernon in the near future. The meetings were held bi-monthly and were attended by any student who had taken German or had an in¬ terest in the language. Our main purpose was to further our know¬ ledge already gained. Sponsor Mrs. Howell. Officers: Morgan, Vice-Presi¬ dent; Tringeli, President; and Bens, Secretary. Slye, Black, Weigel, and Duel. 165 Art Club Secretary. Worthington, President; and Mrs. Locke, Spon¬ sor. Every Monday, weather permitting, art enthusiasts meet under the direction of Mrs. Lock. This past year thirty-six members in good standing put their ideas together and obtained new ambitions. Their project for the first semester was to prepare for a Christmas sale. Stained glass windows, made of cellophane and Christmas Cards designed by the members were sold to students. With the Second semester came International week, in which the club took an active part. Book marks made on water color paper and personal works of art students were sold. The club was proud to donate nine dollars to the American Field Service Committee. After missing many meetings because of snow, the members discovered a treasury of copper enameling equipment in the art club supplies. Designing and firing of jewelry became popular, along with making bookmarks for another sale. This money will go to the purchase of three art works for permanent exhibit in the school’s main hall. Spring brought a lecture and demonstration in flower arranging. Hopes are high for an art field trip, which usually includes a visit to one of Washington’s museums, and a half day of sketching in surrounding areas.

The club was limited to students who were interested in biology, having taken or being in the process of taking biology. This interest, coupled with a de¬ sire to obtain a better understanding of the sub¬ ject, prompted students to attend many lively and informative meetings sharing their experiences and opinions. An informal atmosphere allowed the members to freely discuss the sciences and participate in experiments and other related activities which were designed to increase their knowledge of this important subject. Sponsors: Miss Carson and Mr. Swain. Josevh, Randolph, Sargeant, Nalls, Dowhower, Rose, and Davis. 168 Science Club am Once again this year the Science Club of Mount Vernon was busy promoting an interest in the sci¬ ences. Under the sponsorship of Mr. Charles Woodard the club was affiliated a second time with JETS — the Junior Engineering Technical Society, a national scientific organization. Activi¬ ties this year included several guest speakers, films, demonstrations, and a club project. This year s Science Club, though small, was outstanding for its zeal and enthusiasm.

While only two years old, the Mount Vernon Photo Club has assumed it’s place among the active organizations in this school. The Photo Club was among the participants in the Homecoming Parade and it’s float carried a corps of photographers who took pictures of the queen and her court. Through the installation of the new dark room, the club increased its ability to serve the school and at the same time provide its members the opportunity of instruc¬ tion in the finer points of photo processing. The dark room was also available for the newspaper and the yearbook. In addition to the dark room, the Photo Club has taken many field trips such as the trips to Dullas International Airport and Great Falls, Maryland. This was part of it’s program to challenge those already proficient in photography and at the same time, help instruct the beginners. The club also maintained an educational program through the use of slides and movies provided by Ansco and Kodak. In it’s second year of operation, the Photo Club has tried to serve it’s members and the school in every possible way, and hopes to continue it’s service in the future.

TFIIRD i f I I 171 Future Homemakers of America At the beginning of the school year the officers of the Mount Vernon Chapter of the Future Homemakers of America met and planned a year of interesting and informative meetings for their members. Our chapter meetings were held on the second and fourth Wednesdays of each month. Based on the objectives and projects, our programs included guest speakers on early marriages, panel discussions on how to obtain your degrees of achievement, and buzz sessions on what you expect from a friendship. The club has also participated in outside activities. We attended Federation meetings, co-sponsored the annual beauty contest, and held several bake sales. Our chapter was able to send one delegate to the state convention at Roanoke. A Parent-Daughter Banquet culminated the year’s activities and saw the installation of our new officers whom we feel sure will successfully carry through next year’s active program. F.H.A.

The Mount Vernon Future Teachers Chapter of America was designed to prepare information for prospective teachers. The club worked with the faculty members. The active mem¬ bers participated in class evaluations, checked work, and assembled materials. These things provided the members with actual teaching procedures. Members attended the Virginia Education Association and Future Teachers Convention as delegates and officer candidates. One of our delegates served as a circle leader and one as recording secretary. A campaign headquarters was established to assure the candidates of the full support and recognition of the certified voters. One of our members was elected to the office of Recording Secretary. The chapter members were active in the Fairfax County Future Teachers Chapter by attending two conventions and serving on the nominating committee. During April — “Career Month”, the club participated in a radio broadcast which was under the aspices of our National Education Association and Future Teachers of America Chapters. The theme was, “Why I Want to be a Teacher”. F.T.A. FRONT ROW: Thomp¬ son, Watson, Bennett, and Triplett. SECOND ROW: Boyd, Black, and Myers. THIRD ROW: M. Johnson, S.

The Future Secretaries of America, formerly the Commer¬ cial Club, was organized over ten years ago. Their main ob¬ jective was to produce qualified secretaries for entry into the business world upon graduation. To help accomplish this, rep¬ resentatives from various business schools and business offices were invited to speak to the members. To become a member each person had to be enrolled in at least one commerical class. A new constitution was also established this year to better suit the needs of the FSA. To increase the enthusiasm in the club, official pins with the club initials were ordered for interested members. At Thanksgiving a food basket was prepared by the FSA and donated to a needy family. The annual beauty contest, one of the important events of the year, was co-sponsored again with the Future Teachers and Future Homemakers Clubs. In addition to these activi¬ ties, the FSA sponsored a number of activities for members only. The increased activity by the FSA resulted in one of its most successful years. Distributive Education Officers above are: McCarrick, Second Vice-President; Lock- wood, Treasurer; Swiatlowski, Secretary; and Shaffier, First Vice-President. This year the Distributive Education Club, led by President Frank Humphreys, concentrated its efforts on many com¬ munity service projects. The first project was the Annual Canned Food and Toy Drive in November. Following that was a successful drive for the March of Dimes in January. Each month the club held luncheon meetings at the Penn Daw Restaurant, and the club was well represented at the Virginia, District X, Regional Convention at Yorktown High School. One of the highlights of the year was the Employer- Employee Banquet where the students showed their apprecia¬ tion to their employers. The aim of the Distributive Education Program is to give students on-the-job training in the distribution and marketing in addition to classroom instruction. Distributive Education, a cooperative training program, has proved valuable in gaining job experience and in developing an understanding of the social and economic responsibilities of those engaged in distribution in a free competitive society.

Strachbein, Washington’s leading economic trade protectionist; Mr. A. F. Stone, the editor of a weekly nation-wide publication; and a Cuban refu¬ gee, once a personal bodyguard of Fidel Castro.

Besides promoting school spirit with post¬ ers and victory tags, the organization also spon¬ sored a faculty basketball game. With the money made from the victory tags and the faculty game the club bought the athletic coaches and the principals bright red blazers and the wrestling team jackets. The Pep Club took great pride in its Home¬ coming float this year. After much work and great delay the Club worked in coordination with the Senior Class to create one of the most beautiful floats in the history of Mount Vernon. The membership this year was very large. This instigated the student body to become more enthusiastic, supporting their teams to the high¬ est degree. R. Reed, President; Mr. Skinner, Sponsor; and P.

Freshman Cheerleaders: Carr, Co-Captain; Wideman, Co Captain; Wood, Robbins, Keith, Frymire, Harper, Gran tham, Romney, and Duckwall. The cheerleaders have cornpleted the year with many fond memories upon which to reminisce. It was during this year that their activity and responsi¬ bility were considerably increased. The girls won four blue ribbons in competition at a summer camp held at Virginia Beach last summer. By attending this camp the cheerleaders introduced new facets of lung busting . Consequently, the emphasis this year was placed upon the presentation of short meaning¬ ful cheers which could be easily followed. In addition, the cheerleaders successfully organ¬ ized arid executed a bonfire, pep rally, and study hall skits to boost school spirit. The girls spent many hours practicing cheers and planning strategy to in¬ crease the athletic spirit among the students. The girls also went to Walt Whitman Junior High to give instructions in cheerleading techniques and pres¬ entations. The cheerleaders continued even at the close of their official season to instill in the students of Mount Vernon the spirit of competitive sports of all kinds and the sportsmanship thereof. Cheerleadtng sponsors: Miss Jones and Miss Waid. J81 Drill FRONT ROW: Schlegel, Sgt. at Arms; Florer, Squad Leader; Brennan, Squad Leader; and Wilson, Squad Leader.

Our ranks filed past the many spectators at football games and parades. One of the time-consum¬ ing projects of the team was the making of our vests, and much energy was poured into the successful opera¬ tion of three car washes — the proceeds being used for the purchase of flowers. This year was a good one — with better routines, long practice sessions, and moments of joy and excitement. Now that it has ended for some of us through gradua¬ tion, while others will be transferring to a new neighbor¬ ing school, we look over the past year with sadness and nostalgia.

They started the year off in marching season by presenting a new type of half-time show — precision drill march¬ ing. This new method, plus the proficiency of the marchers, helped get the band invited to perform at the G. W. University vs. Boston University game at D.C. Stadium. The majorettes and newly formed color guard added much to appearance and perfor¬ mance of the M.V. Marching Bond. The concert season began with the annual Christ¬ mas Concert, with the Band and all Choral Depart¬ ments giving fine performances. Special attractions were a glockenspiel quartet, a trumpet trio, and the beautiful finale with all groups participating in several Christmas carols. The next big event was the Northern Virginia All- State Band in which the Band placed twelve members. Those who participated in the Senior Band were Bill Gillum, Gary Ament, Tom Lederer, Clarinet; Bob Chase, Jim Flowers, Dave Butterfield, cornet; Kathy Hinger, Bob Gilles, saxophone; John Wellemeyer, Tuba; Bonnie Cruze, flute; and Mark Graiser, French horn. Grayson Koogle, trumpet, was our representative to the Junior Band. The annual Northern Virginia Band Festival was held on March 16. The Band did very well on the three grade VI numbers they pre¬ pared. The Band boasted two other organizations within the main group, a brass choir, and a dance band. The brass choir consisted of tuba, trumpet, French horn, and trombone and entered one of their numbers in the Solo and Ensemble Festival. The Dance Band contained saxophones, trombones, trumpets, drums, bass and piano. They performed in the Jazz Concert during Twirp Week. 184 FRONT ROW: Sumarall, Hunter, Landes, and Ridenour.

Also at that time, the members of the Concert Choir sang for a DeMolay installa¬ tion, and they and the Select Girls’ Chorus were the featured singers at a Christmas service at Mr. Landes ' s church. During the second semester, the Choir traveled to the Pentagon and with the Mixed Chorus, sang at the Easter Sunrise Service at Mount Vernon. In February the All-State Chorus journeyed to Mc¬ Lean High School where four were chosen to at¬ tend the All-State Chorus in Charlottesville.

The magic of spring is accompanied by a re-birth of spirits and a divine inspiration to all. •Spring is highlighted by the ending of another school year, and the bcyinning of a new and exciting life for those of us who leave for the last time. Spring brings gladness to many, and sadness to a few who will be !ea in”: the school, teachers and friends they love, but she always brings new hopes and bright promises for the future. i Wttk ' tM ' ■ 1 iA«r -- SPRIJVG The Senior Spotlight Joan Dennehy and Butch Robey were selected by the Senior Class as BEST ALL AROUND.
