1969 — A Space Odyssey HOMECOMING Homecoming 1969 was old fashioned with its traditional preparations and excitement, yet very modern with its universal theme, a Space Odyssey. After a long week of preparations and Homecoming spirit everyone settled back to enjoy the game and wait in suspense for the half-time activities. Even without a fancy parade of moon men and astronauts Mount Vernon enjoyed a realistic setting for the Space Odyssey theme amid the natural parade of stars. With the announcement of the queen the suspense ended, but the excitement re¬ mained throughout the night. As the evening came to a close the Mighty Majors found themselves with a 32-2 victory over Groveton as well as an overwhelming anticipation to¬ ward additional Homecoming activities. Former queen, Liddell Avery, sympathizes with the Sen¬ ior Princesses as she reminisces her anxious feelings of the year before. Juniors, Sue Roscher, escorted by Gordon liams, and Tad Leverenz, escorted by Randy Hensen, think toward Homecoming 1970 and what the future holds for them. 26 — School Life

Competition For Titles And Awards Is Stiff. -r KL ■ ■ I L FALL ACTIVITIES Spirit is alive! Football is rampant, and stu¬ dents flock to the pep rallies to compete for the Pep Jug. At an afternoon pep rally the Key Club and Keyettes unveiled their contraption devised to “smash Atoms”. The fall athletic season ended with an awards assembly at which trophies were presented to the most outstanding and the most improved partici¬ pants of their respective fields. Musically, Mount Vernon outdid itself this fall. The choral department presented its annual Fall Concert, and the S.C.A. sponsored a divi¬ sion of “Up With People” called “Sing-Out South”. At the same time these were occur¬ ring, Debbie Eldridge and Pat Sullivan partici¬ pated in the Northern Virginia Junior Miss Pageant sponsored by the Fairfax Jaycees. Trio of patriotic young singers bring “Up with People” spirit via” Sing Out South” to Mount Vernon. Huddled together, Keyette “grannies”, gleefully watch the Atom Smasher invented by the Key Club to demolish the op¬ position — the Atoms. School Life — 25
