W.Va. Bus Trip, Candy Canes Highlight December A busload of Mt. Vernon students, under the patient guidance of English teacher Mrs. Cynthia Rufty, took the weekend of December 4 to trek to Morgantown, West Virginia to watch Barry Signorelli, class of 1976, star in West Virginia University ' s production of Romeo and Juliet. The students were housed in a church, whence a bus took them to tour the University campus, and, of course, to see the play. A week after the bus returned to Mt. Vernon, the students were still raving about the production. The Junior class sponsored the tradi¬ tional candy cane sale this Christmas, an ever-popular fund-raising event which grossed five-hundred dollars for the class. The popularity of this project is undoubtedly due to the efficiency with which the Juniors handled their business. Mr. Lyons boasts about tbe number of candy canes be has received. West Virginia trip chaperones Mr. Pauley and Mrs. Rufty pose with a select group of cultured students.

Choral Department Rings In Christmas The Choral Department repeated a tradition older than any student at Mount Vernon when it presented its ever-popular Christmas Concert. Tra¬ ditional as well as current seasonal renditions were performed, offering enjoyment to everyone ' s musical taste. Of particular interest was the grand finale — Handel ' s Hallelujah Chorus —during which Mount Vernon Cho¬ rus alumni were invited onstage to join voices with present choral students. The applause from the audiences for both performances in¬ dicates why the Concert is repeated every year. The Madrigals harmonize on the popular Fruitcake. Together with Mount Vernon chorus alumni, the present choral department presents the Hallelujah Chorus. School Life —23

Freshmen Find Valentine ' s Day Profitable The freshman class exhibited ex¬ traordinarily fine organization and participation when it sold Valen¬ tine ' s Day lollipops and carna¬ tions this February. A project usual¬ ly attempted only by upper class- men, this Valentine ' s Day effort proved, as usual, to be quite a large task. But, any sacrifices the fresh¬ men made to organize this project were well worth it: they sold over one thousand lollipops and over three hundred carnations. This suc¬ cess is just one example of the ef¬ ficiency of the freshman class, a class which, as of February, had earned more money for its treas¬ ury than all the money from Mt. Vernon ' s past three freshman classes combined. School Life—25
