Harmony Comes To Mt Vernon Stage October 27 saw the premier of the Choral Department ' s concert season at Mt. Vernon, with the fall concert, themed The Harvest. The singers pleased the large crowd in attendance with For All We Know, Deep River, Carolina Moon, and Bye Bye Blues, among other selections. Groups that performed included the Concert Choir, the Madrigals, the Select Girls ' Chorus, and the Beginning Girls ' Chorus. The Girls ' Barbershop Quartet and its more traditional counterpart—the Boys ' Bar¬ bershop—were also featured. The enthu¬ siastic interest in choral music at Mt. Vernon—something rarely found in high schools —can be attributed only to the hard work of the 160 choral students and their sponsor, Ms. Louise Hopkins. Madrigals ham it up. Girls ' Barbershop cracks up. Beginning Girls ' Chorus tunes up.

Students Sell Magazines, Grads Sell Colleges As in many years past, the magazine campaign and College Night became two of the key events during the fall, the latter organized by the guidance department, the former by the S.G.A. An important event because of the money it raises for Mt. Vernon clubs and organizations, the magazine campaign once again was well-organized and successfully executed. Because not everyone is naturally motivated to sell magazines, prizes were offered as incentive, and what an incentive they were! According to S.G.A. treasurer Jill Rupp, the magazine campaign made approximately $5000 for the different clubs at Mt. Vernon. College night, a perennially popular event, gives students the opportunity to explore possible college choices without having to visit to the colleges.
