Governor Godwin, through the dili¬ gent efforts of Ken Barnes, President of the Class of ' 76, came to the Mount Vernon field house last June 14 to address the graduating seniors. Not only was Godwin ' s visit an honor for the seniors, it was an honor for the Governor himself. While leaving the fieldhouse, Godwin remarked to an usher that he was quite impressed by the polite, attentive attitude of the seniors, and quite moved by the af¬ fection they exhibited for the school and for each other. Truly, graduation from Mount Vernon was a poignant experience.
