CUPOLft Seven The Alma Mater 1934 i U R Alma Mater ' Glorious With loving hearts and proud , We crown thee all victorious And sing thy praise aloud. In loyalty we serve thee And strive to heed thy call. Mount Vernon, O Mount Vernon 3 Through self to conquer all. You give unfailing kindness If trouble meets us here; You foster all our pleasures And make them seem more dear. Nor time, nor care, nor sorrow Can these fair days erase, But they with each tomorrow Help us new tasks to face. lake breath of Spring’s fresh morning That lifts the heart to song, When courage droops and wavers And paths seem gray and long. Will come thy dauntless spirit To help us on our way. Mount Vernon, O Mount Vernon ! Hold fast thy tender sway. The changing years may bring us Some longed-for dream of bliss, Yet memory wall cherish A sympathy we miss. In hours of joy or sadness, Whate ' er our need may be. Mount Vernon, O Mount Vernon! Thy children turn to thee. E igh t C U PO L ft Foreword HE end of our school year comes with this volume of memories; for many, the end of several years at M. V. S. By the unfailing help of those who have guided us, we have developed and matured; we feel more pre- pared to face the chaotic world before us; we are enthusiasts for life. We are grateful for teach- ers. experiences and friends. This year, crowded with memories, will stand illuminated in the future, and in this Cupola we have striven to bring an enduring reminder of friendships and youth. THE EDITOR. Nine Jke. 1934 Jean Dean Cole Ten C U PO L ft 0 those who have made this yearbook either in the actual work of composition or in making the history it records, Hail! to those who carry it away from M. V. S. as a reminder of happy days now ended, Farewell! Our congratulations and appreciation to the former; our loving wishes for realization of the dreams dreamed here to the latter. To all, a happy vaca- tion and a baptism of the spirit of noblesse oblige. JEAN DEAN COLE.

There are in addition three girls interested in our work, chosen from the forms by the Seminar, This year, under the able guidance of R. H. Rice, we have increased our publications. During the winter term, we published ' roadside t a literary magazine. From the contributions made by the student-body, Marjorie Baker and the Board chose the most interesting and original papers grouped them according to stories, book reviews or poetry, and published them. Our new venture is the ( ' loister Columns y a news sheet which comes out bi-monthly. This paper contains news, editorials, personals, jokes about students, and the future school events. We sincerely hope this new contribution to the life of M. V, S, lias been enjoyed. We owe much of its success to Louise Powell, the editor. Our third publication is the Cupola. In this year ' s Cupola we have made many changes, endeavoring to bring to M. . S. an annual which will recall memories of an unforgetable year, rv 1 M n d Jiui 1934 CUPOLd Tit ' en ty-five J ta. 1934 The Senior Class C o l or s— SVf p ph i rr H l u e a n d Gold Mo ' r t o — K s r Q n am F i d e r i Class Song Worth hi Baku aha Sincerheacx Twfis but a Vision long ago Of one we all revere, But onward spread from old to new With each successive year.

Fifty- fa C U PO L ft Dramatic Workshop HIS year the Dramatic Workshop had the pleasure of seeing three Theater Guild plays on their opening night in Washington. The first to be presented was Mari of Scotland by Maxwell Anderson, starring Helen Hayes, Philip Merivale, and Helen Menken. The superb acting of these players showed us what fine acting really is. “The play is written with both human and theatric understanding; and the language is about the most dramatic and eloquent that the prose theater has ever known. After its showing in Wash- ington we were all extremely glad to hear of its success in New York — but then, how could it have been otherwise? The next, Biogra phi , a comedy by S. X. Belirman, with the lovely Ina Claire, kept the Workshop in laughs for weeks afterward. Its humor and satire was keen and to the point, and the whole play was carried off with a flourish. I think that out of the three Guild plays which the Workshop saw, if there was a question of seeing any one twice, Biography would be the chosen one. The third, and last play, was Moliere s comedy The School for Husbands, in an adaptation in rhyme by Arthur Guiterman and Lawrence Longer. Osgood Perkins plays Sganarelle, which was Moliere ' s own part, and makes it an “exquisitely wrought example of satiric bravura. II is command of gesture, his diction, the poise and polish of his performance, and ins sensitive interpretation, reveal a fine and rare artist ' June Walker plays the part of Isabelle to a perfection, with her naivete, her primness and appeal. Imagine our good luck when Miss Herriott took four of us hack-stage to meet Mr. Perkins, who immediately won out hearts by his charming gracious manner. All in all, I think the Workshop was most fortunate to have the opportunity to see these three delightful plays, and we hope that next year will bring another series of such varied and entertaining performances. Sally Spitzer President of Dramatic Workshop. Fif tp-xeveii JAe. 1934 Dramatics Dramatic Workshop, under the direction of Miss Frances Hcrriott, lias produced } this year a fine group of plays. In December the annual Collegiate Play was pre- sented, Vm fs Wife, by George Kelly, and during the. year a series of one-act plays have been given. The first of these, in November, was Mag no fin ' s Mail, a mountain comedy by Gertrude Wilson Coffin, This play was directed by Sally Spltzer, and included Elizabeth Flanagan, Edmee Reisinger, Barbara Sincerheaux and Eula Council in the cast. Eater, in February, three more plays were given in Assembly: The Finger of Ood, by Percival Wilde, directed by Barbara Sincerheaux with Constance Bend aim, Ethel Bennett and Eula Council in the cast; Smart tys Party, by George Kcllv, directed by Doris Kimball and including Frances Witte, Anne Heiss, Edmee Reisinger and Doris Kimball; and a scene from Franz M ulnars Lilia m with Sally Spitzer and Doris Kimball, directed by Sally Spitzer, Stmt rig ' s Party was given again at the Dramatic Workshop ' s reception for a group of the King Smith Studio ' s girls, who in turn presented the lirst act of Little Women, THE CHRISTMAS PARTY Christmas is such a happy time, and we want to share its joy with everyone around us. So originated the Christmas Party at M, V, S. when the girls are hostesses to the servants and their children. This year a group of Forms girts, under the direction of Miss Christy Mar Kaye, gave in the chapel t lie Coventry Nativity Play. The play was charming and our choir furnished a background, singing the loved Christmas carols. After the play, tlu party was held in the indoor gymnasium u round a great brightly-lighted tree. Santa (Mans was there with presents for all the children. Eyes grew larger and larger, and smiles wider and wider as endless toys and dolls came from his pack, 1 1 was hard to leave the new treasures long enough to speak the carefully prepared Christmas poem. Soon it was time for little sleepy heads to he in bed, and they were bundled home, still clutching I he new toys. For years the traditional Christinas party lias made more glad the holidays of every M. V. S. girl, YELLOW AND WHITE CLASS PLAY The Yellow and White classes presented for their annual play. Friend Hannah, bv Paul K ester. The story concerned the love of Hannah, a Quaker girl, and the Prince of Wales, whom she married, not knowing he was of royal blood. Inevitably, the old King died, and to the shouts of “Long Live the King ' ” the Prince became ruler of England. Han- nah sacrificed her love for him, giving him up to his country and to a royal marriage. Many years after, the King, now blind and pour in health, stopped to rest in the garden where he bad met Hannah and where she had returned to he among her Quaker friends. Reminiscing in the garden, the King revealed to the watching Hannah that she bad remained in his heart throughout the long years that divided them. The splendid acting of every member of the cast cannot be sufficiently praised. Betsy Gore and Valeria Harris played brilliantly the leading roles of Hannah and the Prince, Joan Phillips, A line Benton, Virginia Davis, Anne Hawley and Jean Evatt were very staid Quaker folk, while Margaret Her lit, Jeanne Lawson, Betty-Bowne Strange and Mary Holly played the royalties, Mrs. Rice is to be highly praised for her very skillful direction of the play. At a recep- tion afterwards in Great Hall, we tried to express our appreciation to the assembled east, but found decidedly flat, any usual Congratulations. We only wish there were more opportu- nities of seeing the e gifted actresses. Fifty -eight C U PO L ft Craig ' s Wife In December tbe annual Collegiate Play was presented, Craig’s Wife, by George Kelly. T) le plot centered around the Craig family, innocently involved in a murder ease, and reached a climax after a series of complicated situations. Frances Witte, as the wife, deserted at the last because of her constant suspicions and nagging, played most sympathetically and added another star to her already studded histrionic crown. Barbara Albertson quite captured our hearts as the dashing Mr. Craig, The entire play was splendidly acted, and we have no doubt but that M. V. S + will one day be w ' ell represented on Broadway.

Problems brought from the student body are discussed openly to arrive at an adjustment. The faculty members suggest measures to encourage the co-operation of the students in assuming responsibility, and the student members in turn respond by carrying these ideas to the girls in the school.

This year, the Board sponsored a winter-sports week-end, for the entire school, in the Pocono mountains in Pennsylvania Frances E, Witte, President , Eighty-three J ut 1934 Al umnae and School Organizations HE Mount Vernon Seminary Alumnae Association was limited to graduate membership from its beginning to the year 1938. At the Annual Reunion in May of that vear, the word Alumna ' ' was voted to be used henceforth in its extended sense — as a pupil, graduate or non-graduate” — following the custom o f many major colleges. This change made possible the union of the Alumnae Association and the M. V. S. Society. The Society had had for twenty years a membership composed of graduates, non -graduates, students in the school and faculty past and present. It had contributed thousands of dollars to charitable purposes and had issued, yearly, a magazine known as the M. V. $ Roll Call. The merging of the two organizations aims to secure the greater strength, inseparable, from union in a common cause. The two red-letter days of the new body are, first, November fifth. Founder ' s Day, and, second, the Saturday preceding Commencement, the Annual Reunion. The combined bodies, the new Alumnae Association, in March of each year, issues a booklet called The Alumna Roll Call a giving a resume of all M. Y r , S s interests and activities at home and abroad. The dues are two dollars. Any girl whose connection with the school had been honorably severed, is eligible to membership. There are nine Chapters or affiliated bodies with centres in Pittsburgh, Phila- delphia, Omaha, Boston, C hicago, New York, Cos Angeles, Milwaukee and Atlanta, They serve not only as a unifying force hut carry on, each of them, some work of helpfulness in their own group — adopt an individual or a family, sew for an asylum or hospital, run a Soup Kitchen as in Pittsburgh, contribute toward scholar- ships as in Chicago, or constitute themselves “Friends of the Library os in New York, to send needed volumes to M. V. S. Girls remote from a Chapter Centre, are welcome in the parent organization — headquarters in Washington at Mount Vernon Seminary, A lint- expressing the wish to join, will he followed by a copy of the Alumnae Roll Cali — and later, to be sure, by a due-bill.

V, S, It was all very beautiful, very exciting and very sad. The farewell songs made me realize that another school year was closing, and T would have to part with many friends So sleepy— Had the most delicious waffles for breakfast at Gatesley, Optima went off to Normandy Farm Ho, hum We juniors went on our picnic to Hock Creek Park We had an hilarious time — you should hear Miss Herriott sing ‘Twentieth Century Blues ” Great Fulls; lots of food, merry-go-rounds, and a beautiful storm! Well, last day of classes this year, diary. Things are beginning to happen. Those cute little fourth formers received their certificates; Lucy -Jane walked off with all the athletic honors and Marianne with the citizenship cup. Congratulations! The Baccalaureate Service — the end is nearly here, Til never get packed ! Diary, tonight was the Commencement Play, The Mollusc . It was very entertaining, and, sli-h-h-, Kim was lovely! These days are so exciting! The Seniors gave their Will and Testament, and then we took our seats ' — it was so thrilling when the entire student body rose as we sang our Class song. Ci roi.A came out today. During the Treble Clef Concert one smart member of our class bad the hic-coughs so badly she had to leave. Didn’t get to bed till the wee small hours — Commencement- -and a clearer realization of life w as opened to me as I watched those girls walk up the steps of the Chapel to receive their diplomas. And now diary, a secret just between you and me, I cried when I said good-by. But how could 1 help it leaving such friends, and the future so indefinite? The train — HOME! Goodness me! Pm leaving for school in two days! The summer’s over — and I’ve got to pack again. Pm never going to be ready ! Good-by; see you Christmas! When I saw the Washington Monument this morning, diary, I realized that I was hack It was great seeing all the class — a very noisy reception. And when Miss Cole talked to us in the evening, 1 suddenly realized the responsibilities of being a Senior. Oh, dear diary, but Pm tired ! Pm glad new girls don’t arrive every day. There must he thousands of them. The Junior class is enormous — beware of the Ingenuity Contest! Betty Muekerman played for us in the evening— My trunk is unpacked ! Most horrible intelligence tests in the afternoon. They’ll he sorry they ever gave them to us! Awfully nice tea at Tea House — with more new girls wandering vaguely around. The first Student Body meeting— was quite proud of our Senior Class. Won’t T ever get any mail? Classes; and it seems as tho I had never left! Still no mail! Mr. Lloyd surprised all of us brainy Seniors by giving us a comprehensive test — course he told us last spring that he would, but we were hopeful. Ninety-eight C U PO L 0- Sept. 30: Aha! a letter. There was a scavenger hunt, and the original Irkas of M. V. S. ! Diary, T wish you could have seen what Yal Harris and Annie Campbell — oh, Bobbie — brought in. Then we ate at Shelter, and later watched a hockey game. Cupola Board went to Mr, Rice’s this afternoon, which was not only interesting, but appetizing. In the evening there was the Old- New Girl party with an orchestra, a style show and four or five glasses of cider and some doughnuts. Such a night ! Oct, 1: A new month, what will it bring?

We had to get up at 5 do, march the Juniors down to the gymn — I have never seen such a forlorn bunch — and keep them going. We worked harder than they did, trying to think up things for them to do; what’s more, we kept it up all day, so by evening 1 was exhausted. However, the food in the evening, after their “Quiet Hour, was good. House-Warming, When 1 first came here years and years ago, I heard something about an M. V. S, girl never showing a desire for food. Funny thing how quickly ideas change. One of the rooms caused quite a disturbance. We expect to sec Kim and Dottle in dark colored glasses tomorrow. Bobbie was elected Student Body President today. We ' ll all try to do our best to help you throughout the year, Bobbie More elections. We elected Annie Grigsby Campbell our President. I really don’t know whether to congratulate her or our class. The Juniors elected Alice Howell; the Yellows, Kay Armstrong; the Whites, Dot Hurd; and Optima elected Mae Dickey. Still more elections. Mary Morton Granger was elected as Lend-A-Hand Presi- dent and Fran Witte as Athletic President. More congratulations ]n order. Optima had its first meeting this evening. It was rumored that Ed a wanted some more cake; wonder why she didn ' t have any. Ik, Kaiser came out from George Washington University to talk to us today “Nationalism” has its humorous points, wc found. Some members of the Senior Class went to Her Master ' s Voice; they came back with wild tales of one of the faculty members on the stage; refer to Mrs. Lloyd for particulars. Tut-tut. The Junior Vaudeville 1 It was really clever, with a tandem bicycle, a horseless carriage, and a most amusing trial scene. Jess Beadles sta-sta-sta-stuiters beautifully, and Kay Roekhill and Anne Rehihold certainly can harmonize. The Junior Class was very grateful for all that Louise Powell did for them. Study and more study; The first copy of the M V. S. News came out today; hope it is a success! To the afternoon we went to J ory Queen of Scotland. It was a most enjoyable play, beautifully staged, superbly acted. No evening chapel tonight, and the Seniors had their first sing on Senior Steps, The moon was full, and if M. V. S. shows its sentimentality by singing off key, we certainly were sentimental. However, I’m sure It was most enjoyable. Another month, Mrs. A Ike Tisdale Hobart, Miss Noursc’s sister came out to school and spoke to us about her experiences in China, and autographed her hook. Oil for the Lamp of China, for many of the girls. The faculty party! Field House certainly saw a vivid array of costumes. The Senior Class represented different members of tire faculty, and Miss Guard and Mr. Lloyd were star performers. I heard it rumored that Miss Katherine was heading for Hollywood to double for Mae West.

The Whites carried off the honors. And then our Thanksgiving Dinner, with many girls particularly happy as they are joined by their families; in the evening, dancing in Great Hall, with real music! This is the month! Dr. Frederick Koch of Chapel Hill, North Carolina, talked on Ins work there, and the American Theatre of today. Publications and Dramatic Workshop felt honored to think they were sponsoring him. We had Chapel this morning so we could hear the wonderful Don Cossacks in the afternoon. We are all enthusiasm over Dr. Koch’s moving reading of DickenN loved Christmas Carol ' in the chapel this evening. Dr, Koch is cer- tainly a person of distinction and we were lucky to have him with us. Assembly today was also sponsored by the Publications Workshop, Mr. Melville Grosvenor of the National Geographic Society gave a most interesting talk on The Appeal of Pictures, He illustrated Ins subject by lovely colored pictures and movies that brought continual gasps from a delighted audience. This after- noon marked the first meeting this year of La Cerele Franca is, with the old members as hostesses to the new ones. Craig ' s Wife brings fame to our Collegiate actresses. (Of course the curtain would be pulled at that crucial moment!) The whole cast was splendid and we quite lost our hearts to the dashing Mr. Craig, One hundred CUPOLft Dec.

Then Santa Claus and presents galore. We Seniors arose hours before dawn and “Keeping the Spirit of C hristmas Down Deep in Our Hearts” caroled to M. V. S. Back again, and was It just a lovely dream?

The first Ingenuity Contest, We Seniors were victorious in our interpreta- tion of “As the Tide Turns ’ We all went to Field House for informal supper. It was a lot of fun singing, talking and listening to Mrs. Rice read plays. The Second Ingenuity Contest, ' Hie subject was “A Day in a Museum ' 1 and it had to be worked out in pantomime. The Juniors carried off the honors leaving us, the Seniors, terribly determined ! The Reverend I. H. Miller spoke to us on “What Is Life” and in the evening the advanced music students played and sang in a recital. Oh, dear! The Junior College Faculty Meeting, Well, here’s hoping! If you ever want to be amused, ask Salty Spitsser to break a eoeoanut for you. She breaks Senior Steps, her watch crystal, silence and the Dramatic Workshop hammer. Off to Skytop ! Despite the rumor that it was Ifi degrees below zero, M. V. S. went out coasting and had a glorious time! Coasting! Skiing! Skating! Tramps! Food, and more food! and the world’s best chaperones ! Well, my dear. We had the thrill of being photographed by the Universal News Reel photographer. More food and glorious time! (We returned— only a few limping, but all of us so ready for bed). Oh, hut I’m stiff! Has anyone seen Mr. Lloyd ' s map of Asia? If so, kindly return to room A. Seems to be a record around here called “ Three Little Pigs.” Ah, Mr. Lloyd found his map: Senior Survey may continue. In the afternoon, M. V, S. was thrilled by the voice of Rafaelo Diaz, tenor of the Metropolitan Opera. Many guests also enthusiastically requested more encores.

Now, the next question before the Class is, when shall we have those Juniors present their colors? The Seniors seem to lie spending most of their time at the Congressional Library. Can ' t be that they are writing Essays! Kirn, Sally Barbie Albertson and Marge were taken into Optima. Many of us continued our education at School For Iln bantfo this afternoon In the evening we had such a good time at the Yellow and White Class party, see- ing a thrilling movie Beitnv the Sea, and eating quantities of ice cream rones and cookies.

Mrs. Nye was their guest and they asked her to become an honorary member. beautiful snow storm today, bill it would have been more beautiful before Christmas. It seems as though spring would never come. We Ctillegiates went to Field House in the evening, and it was really inspiring there before a roaring fire, discussing life and some of Us problems, I guess Mr Lloyd is still wondering what happened lo the Society Woman at the North Pole If you ever want any mathematical problems done, refer to Marty, Griggy or Dot l ie. They ' re remarkable. The Whites beat us Yellows in basket-ball today, starting the day all wrong, and then the dress rehearsal of the Yellow and White Class Play finished it! The mantle fell over, the curtain broke, ( the guy rope’s broken!”) and added to that I lie photographer broke his camera and there will be no picture of the play which is a shame. The costumes and staging were so well done. The Seniors were busy all day doing essays, the Juniors preparing for the pres- entation of their colors, the Forms for their play. [ don ' t know how the essays came out; but the Juniors were lovely, their color, songs and rings were beauti- ful ; and the Forms play was very successful. Betsy Gore had so much charm- ing personality, Val Harris looked so romantic and she aged so admirably and as for Jean Evatt, Betty-Rowne Strange, and well, all of them were so grand! One of the Seniors had a gentleman caller today. I heard he was most inter- esting — see Mrs. Barn urn for particulars. Evening chapel was especially inter- esting to the Cotlegiates; Dr. Murray talked on the simplicity and beauty of the Greeks, their art and literature. M, V, S. enjoyed onions, Sally Spitzer has taken up tennis and French seriously. J wonder why? Ruth Johnson, during Diction class, recited Goose ry Rhymes— so she said. Spring Vacation — could more be said? One Hundred Two CUPOLA- April 2: It doesn ' t seem possible that I am starting my last stretch of my school life at M, V. S. Only a few weeks more and I shall have to say good-by, April 3: So good to see everyone.

If there isn’t a riot, I miss my guess. April 5: Have you heard Di ' s new Victrola records? April 6: Bilie Van Schaack, Peggy Matheson and Betsy Gore were initiated into Optima. They made it in spite of the “fanny” person who locked them into Mrs For- man ' s office April 7: The A. A Banquet, It was lots of fun; the tables were done with individual touches. And we all loved Mrs. Lloyd’s speech. How sincerely she penetrated her subject ! We ' d all give a lot to see Mr. Lloyd punt ! April 8: Luclla Jones and Dottie Dexter are going on a “.super ' celebration— Cupola photographs are complete I We eollegiates went to Field House in the evening and we are all most enthusiastic about the plans for next year. April 10: What am I going to do? Dottie Dexter just came tumbling in and said that the Publications Seminar knew I kept a diary — how did they know? — and wanted it published in Cupola. Oh, me She says she has to have it rigid away, (seems to me I heard her say that to Bobbie Sineerbeaux concerning the Class Poem) and so I haven’t even time to read it over. If I have said anything I shouldn ' t please forgive me, Ftn sorry, too, it has to go now, because so much is happen- ing, with the Council coining, the Howard University Choir, the Optima and Junior-Senior (if they give us one) Banquets, the class picnics, the Great Falls picnic, and all the excitement of Commencement week. But T hope it does help you remember more clearly. Personally, I ' ll never forget this, tny Senior year, filled with real study, lasting friendships and clearer ideals of life. One Hundred Three JAa. 1934 From A Junior ' s Point of View FAG DAY ' () the sharp command of “Candida les, we awoke in the cold dawn of an October morning — twenty -eight sleepy, bewildered Juniors. After saluting our superiors (with the aid of a wet face doth and none too gentle proddings) we were given about five minutes, in complete darkness, to struggle into various strange attires. Then, Mind-folded, we were alternately pushed and d ragged through bewildering hours when our only solace was the sound of some familiar voice informing us from somewhere out of the void that “I’m a little prairie flower. Misery indeed loves company. With classes came brief snatches of peace, only to he evened up in free periods by much cleaning of “superior shoes, private secretarial duty, and numerous other odd and tedious jobs. Miss De Lano would choose that particular time to require detailed notes on Dante from the Senior Class, and any other excuse for a little extra work was promptly seized upon and pul into use at the expense of the luckless .Juniors. Meals were accompanied by frequent spring dances and public songs, (usually a nerve-wracking combination of ill-fitting words and tunc.) Certainly the prevailing style of the day was unique, and our progress around school was not aided by the wearing! of immense cardboard signs in front and in hack. These artistic creations flaunted the famous blue eagle and original variations on N, H. A. while proclaim- ing our own martyred “We Do Our Part. In fact, any odd and awkward article that caught the fancy of these Master minds was in some way attached to a candidate, and our long green streamers gave the finishing touch. .Just why green is the accepted color fur Junior Candi- dates was too obvious to be overlooked. We await the Ingenuity Contest to assert our intelli- gence. The torture ended that evening with refreshments and much gaycty in Senior Hoorn, and we recognized old friends when the role of persecutor was abandoned. Now we are starl- ing t tie year as full-fledged Juniors, hand in hand with the Senior Class. SENIOR HOUSE WARMING One of the nicest customs at M. V. S. is the setting aside of an evening, early in the year, for the Senior House wanning. And certainly it was a happy and gracious affair this year. The rooms were bright with lights and flowers, and gay chatter echoed from end to end of the Collegiate Corridor, as faculty and girls strolled in and out. In each room two hostesses waited to greet the guests and offered tempting candy and nuts. We made acquaint- ance with friends in pictures along the way, and enjoyed alburns with snaps shots takers at M. V. S. in former years. Though at first daunted by danger lights issuing from Hoorn Hi5, we soon braved the crimson glare and found Dottle and Kimi heartily playing hostess in spite of the unintentional warning. The effect was really beautiful, even though it gave a sickly pallor to our blooming complexions and resulted in temporary blind staggers once outside in the usual light. The Seniors were gracious hostesses and we all fell like old friends after their charming Housewarming, FOUNDERS ' DAY On the birthday of Mrs, Somers, November fifth, M. V. S, celebrated Founders’ Day; a day when Mount Vernon ' s host of daughters down the years, turn affectionately to honor their Alma Mater. Mrs. Hensley, and Mrs. Somers. It is a day of alumnae meetings and one that brings cheery messages of congratulations from all over the country. This year. Founders Day was marked by the merging of the M. V. S. Society with the Alumnae Association, decided formally in the amnia! meeting at school. Necessary changes in the constitution were voted upon. Zimmer presented us with another beautiful cake, aglow with fifty-nine candles which were blown out by Miss Cole, some of the alumnae, grand-daughters, and present students who have been here the longest. It is fitting that we honor M, V. S, on the birthday of Mrs. Somers. Implicit in our love for the school is a reverence for her, whose vision was Mount Vernon Seminary. One Hundred Four C U P O L ft Junior-Senior Ingenuity Contest vjrv NGENUTTY. The very word brings a thrill of expectation to every Collegiate, for these three great contests decide When and Where the Juniors may present their class colors. If they are victorious, they may sing their song and wear their rings whenever they chose; but — if the Seniors win, those friends may call on the Juniors immedi- ately for their colors, or keep them waiting in suspense for days! The first contest this year came the Saturday after Christmas vacation, and the subject given was, “The Tide Turns. In one hour, unaided, each class had to think up a series of skits expressing this idea, then stage them in twenty minutes before the school and selected ju dges. Everything from an electric chair scene to one of a Mother and child in the nursery was represented, and the Seniors carried off the honors. ' Hie subject given for the next contest was a “Scene in a Museum,” presenting endless possibilities. Both museums were in an uproar due to unruly children, eccentric artists busily sketching, and a highly representative collection of visitors. It must have been very difficult to decide, but the judges finally favored the Juniors, and the suspense was prolonged tor another two weeks. Finally, the Night arrived, and with grim determination (not to mention trembling knees) we awaited our subject. This time we were to stage a one-act play, Nevertheless ' by Stuart Walker. That was going to be hard, for it called for a lot of pantomime while reading the lines from the book. The characters were chosen, followed by much rushing around for prop- erty. Then it was over, and we Juniors were able to watch the Seniors when their turn came. They played it splendidly and won the contest. Such celebrating up and down the halls! 1 hey certainly deserved to win, and as the Juniors are in no hurry whatever to present their colors, life goes along very smoothly down our way! V H E N T HE J U N I O R S P K E S E N T E I ) T 1 1 E I R ( O LO R S Finally the day came. Ever since the Seniors won the Ingenuity Contest we had waited in suspense for the order to come, and were sure that the victors had completely forgotten there were any such things as Junior colors. But no, it was all cleverly planned, and on St. Bat rick’s day they culled for our own “Wearing of the Green. That evening before dinner, a very excited and nervous Junior Class gathered in Optima room to await the moment of our march into Great Hall. Last minute whispered rehearsals floated around while we busily pinned on fern and our talisman roses. When the rest of the School had assembled we marched proudly into Great Hall, following Alice with the banner. The rather solemn class song once over, we relaxed a hit on the song to the Seniors and to our class President. We were very conscious of our new rings displayed conspicuously as we sang. Then it was over, and everyone was crowding around to see the rings. With Miss Cole and Miss Blakeslee as our guests we filed into the dining room where a row of tables down the center of the room awaited us. ' flic tables were gayly decorated with special place cards and green and gold balloons, and in this festive atmosphere, we, the Juniors, rejoiced on having at last come into our own.

With a great deal of modesty, we confessed our congeniality with Alice on the occa- sion of our banquet for the Seniors whom we hailed, as already for “Through the Looking Glass ' Kurd announced it Bobby declared it. Betty accepted and Dottie continued it legally in a court scene. She further generously presented both sides of that important ease of “Who Stole the Junior ' s Hearts 1 The Juniors conviction became law and the Seniors were found guilty of affection larceny. J ust to prove that w r e compared favorably with Alice in her more clever mo- ments, we recited verses to each Senior in turn, revealing our sensitivity to their idiosyncrasies Barbie then advised us sagaciously to the contrary Sally showed our gratitude through a series of special toasts which Mari received graciously; and sealed the bond of friendship between Juniors and Seniors. Miss Cole brought the occasion to a brilliant climax in a stimulating message inspired by Humpty Dumpty ' s eventful life. She also suggested that Humpty Dumpty’s shape could be significant as a symbol for rounding out one ' s life. There were tears in out eyes as we glanced into the Looking Glass of the future and saw ourselves in the places of the Class of H)3 L As we sang our farewell song we saw the Seniors facing the Wonderland of the world with courage and strength, and w r e were proud to say to ourselves, “There go our friends,” One Hundred Seven J uz 1 934 Class Prophecy of 1934 Time: D)44. Place: A Villa on the Edge of the Sahara Desert. Characters: Dorothy Dexter and Doris Kimball. Kim: I ' m so glad you could come. Dottle. It seems like old times to see you again. Dottie: It seems so good to he here. Kim! Honestly. I didn ' t think I ' d ever get away from Grand Rapids. Being publicity agent for a “Clinic” is no joke. I had to take the midnight train to leave town without being hounded by photogra- phers, and of course as I was hoarding the train what should I do but sprain my knee! That ' s why I wired you from the train. Kim: es, your Postal came while Oswald and I were eating our breakfast. Dottie: Oh. yes, I always send Postals now. due to my M. V. S. training. But where ' s Oswald ? Kim: He ' s just gone over to Cairo to bring haek some blue gelatin for the “Baby Spots,” We’ve started a community theater out here, you know ' . We call it the Desert-ed Theater ' Last week we produced Heddn Gablcr” and the Arabs just went wild they adored it so. We gave it in Arabic, of course. Speaking of M V. S., whom have vou heard from recently? Dottie : 1 heard from Di about a month ago. She and Martini have a huge interior decorating and designing establishment in Nrw York, They call it the “House of Di -and’ Wander.” It ' s quite a reliable firm. Martha takes care of the house furnishings, and Di d raw ' s wall paper designs by the carload. Kim: Isn ' t that great! All of which reminds me that I had a letter from Bobbie Sincerbeaux the other day. Dottie: Any news? Kim: mi knew she went in for law quite seriously, didn ' t you? Dottie: No! Kim. Heai en s yes. She s a full fledged lawyer now, is married and living in the Rockies. Dottie: Have you heard about Griggv? Kim: I haven t heard from her for ages. What ' s happened to her? One.

Once the heathens are converted Grigsby gives them two hour lectures on Samuel Gompers. Kim; Really! 1 heard the other day that Betty Decker is running a couple of tea houses. She ' s made quite a name for herself. And of course you knew that Barbie Albertson was married and is now a Doctor of Philosophy of the Uni- versity of California! Dottie; Uni so glad. Did you know Fran Witte was now a full-fledged M. D. ? Ktm; No. Dottie: She got tired of Junior League work and so took up medicine and she ' s just crazy about it. Kim: And what do you think! Mary Morton instituted a charity organization somewhere in the woods of Jamestown. The motto of the institution is Help those who won’t help themselves ' Dottie: Sally w r ent to England and married an English baron who w T as at least twenty years older than she was. She divides her time between hunting and her husband. Oh yes. and she ' s just written a new book on the landscapes of Eng- land; last year she published a travel-guide for wayfaring tourists. Kim : Of course Nemo married Larry, and they have two darling children — Katrine, and Larry Junior. Remember how she always said she ' d never call a child of hers Junior? Sbc’s sending Katrine to art school and little Junior is learning to play the saxa phone, Dottie: Dicky is living in Ontario. She and her husband give dancing lessons. They’ve been so successful that Stalin has asked them to go to Russia, take out their naturalization papers there, and teach the peasants how- to dance. Kim: And what is El doing? Dottie: El ' s become business manager-in-chief of some large chain store on Queens. She took the place over when it was on its last legs, and now it is the largest chain store in the world. She is studying music on the side, so you see, she is still more than “busy ’ Kim; Well, dear, we might as well dress for dinner now, so we’ll he down stairs when Oswald comes home. Dottie: Alright.
