The Spiriters, in an effort to promote more school spirit at Mount Vernon this year, staged two major events during the 1964-1965 football season. The first step in promoting the much-needed spirit was the debut of a new mascot on October 23, the night of the Woodson game. The mascot, which may re¬ place Movern, represents Major Lawrence Washing¬ ton, the man who founded Mount Vernon Estates and the historical figure after whom our school team and present mascot were named. Bill Taylor, out¬ fitted in the military uniform of the Colonial Army, portrayed Major Washington. A second activity to encourage student enthusiasm was a bonfire held prior to the Annandale game. The Pep Band, ap¬ pearing at most of the games, also did its part by “drumming-up” spectator spirit and spurring the Majors on to victory.

A Tribute to Twenty Years of Service 1945 - 1965 Mr. Melvin B. Landes, our principal, came to Mount Vernon High School in September 1945. This was his first job as a high school principal—as he formerly was principal at Lee-Jackson Elementary School. Mr. Landes began his teaching career thirty-seven years ago, and migrated from his home state of West Virginia to the county of Fairfax in the Old Dominion early in his career. Many changes have taken place since Mr. Landes first arrived in our hallowed halls—the school plant has increased in size, facilities have improved, and there have been an increased number of teachers and students. Unchanged, however, is the diligence, perseverance, personality, solemnness and reverence of a great man, our principal, Mr. Melvin B. Landes. For a quiet evening at home Mr. Landes enjoys watching tele¬ vision, particularly wrestling. As a family man, Mr. Landes shares the warmth of his home with his wife and daughters. Mrs. Landes shares her husband’s interest in civic and church affairs—daughters Jeannie and Paula complete the family circle. 6
