W e remember: Innocent brown eyes . . . winsome . . . lovclv features j i Class History In the first century five brave pilgrims made their first appearance in Spring al- ley and settled on the Mount Vernon cam- pus. Dudley, Adrian, Florence, Pippy, and Bunny were th e founders of our mod- ern civilization of the Foxhall Road re- gion. A fashion show for the promotion of the sale of war bonds was an important ev ent to the ancients. Adrian looked chic in a bathing suit and was positively stun- ning in flannel pajamas. Even one’s en- thusiasm made the show a great success. Fate in the ccnturv a dance was given, this time at the Sulgrave Club. This, however, was not the only festiv ity. Our class, having received 100 ' . in citizen- ship for the whole year, was awarded a half dav vacation from school. We decided to spend this vacation at Glen Echo w here we had a marvelous time. The second period in the history of the class of ’48 is known as the “Dark Ages . I lie class now assumed the more dignified title of “sophomores , and in addition the fi ve original students had become “old girls . In this period the population was more than double what it was in the an- cient times, and such illustrious persons as Elizabeth Johnston of the mov ing pic- ture industry, Miggie Johnson of the A. A., and that well remembered genius, Maja Weisl. made their appearance on the campus. The main social occurrence w as a formal dance at the Wesley 1 lcights Club and a trip to Skv top, where most of the girls were introduced to the exciting sports of “V inter Wonderland”. We held a pic- nic in Rock Creek Park followed bv Class ight, when the plays and awards were given. At Baccalaureate and graduation we were no longer the last to enter the church, but the day we should graduate still looked far ofF. The beginning of the Renaissance, or our Junior year, was marked with great confusion, as the new buildings were not vet finished. Our class was again double what it had been the prev ious year. I he first dance, given at the Wesley I lcights Club, was followed bv a welcome Christ- mas vacation, which was followed bv a not-so-vvelcome exam week. Everywhere the spirit of the Reformation was visible. Next, clubs in art, dramatics, typing, and Glee Club, were organized for the pursuit of higher learning. In addition to a group of one-act plays presented bv the Dra- matic Club, “H.M.S. Pinafore” was pre- sented by the Glee Club. The Student-Faculty basketball game •45 24 £� was an important sports event of the age. Senorita must have had forebodings, for she appeared in a black veil. In spite of the fact that Miss Curry, Miss Bemis, Mr. Loughran, and Col. Carr, offered stiff opposition, and Miss Hastings was the cheerleader, the students won the game. At the close of the year a picnic was given, the highlights of which were a father-and-daughter softball game and the presentation of athletic awards. The Senior Prom was the first dance given in our new school. A farewell banquet for the Seniors was held at Elizabeth’s house, from where everyone went to a private showing of “Dear Ruth . Finally gradu- ation came, and we said good-bye to mam of our friends. Seniors! The Modern Age began in the fall of 1947. By this time there was evidence of grass, flowers, and paint on the Mount Vernon campus. Since the gallcrv was now finished, we held chapel serv ices there and proudly filed in at the head of the school. The first important date was Founder’s Dav, which was celebrated with services iu the old Mount Vernon Chapel. Shortly afterwards, our international friendships were strengthened when we entertained an important guest from England. She was the world famous hockey instructor. Miss Applchcc. Before Christmas a large book fair was held in the library. Beautiful volumes were exhibited and the fair was a huge success. Fhe Glee Club and the Dra- matic Club united to present “The Magi’s Gift . Next a wonderful formal dance w as held in the Refectory, followed closely bv Christmas vacation. After returning to school we earnestly pursued our studies, for exam week was not far off. It was truly an industrial revolution, but the reward of this hard labor was a trip to Skv l op. However not all the snow was at Skv Top, for the peak of Mount Vernon glistened white most of the winter, keeping the little snow plow very busy. Spring was a welcome and festive sea- son. We returned from a glorious Spring vacation to be confronted with the rigors of College Boards which really weren’t as bad as we thought they would be. After this event, time seemed to move with gathering rapidity. Several in- formal dances were held, along with the senior’s Bazaar and Fashion Show. A Grand Parents’ Dav was followed bv the athletic picnic, the Third Form’s banquet for us, our Senior Prom and a wonderful Class Night. When gradua- tion, with all its flurry of excitement and happiness finally arrived, it was hard to part with our good friends and the life vvc had loved at Mount Vernon. But this was an age of realism and so we all said good-bye and looked to the future with brave hearts and “Great Expecta- tions’ . Class Proph ecy Dear Diary, What a day! Here 1 am feeling stuffed but happy, after a wonderful twentieth-year class reunion. It was reallv grand to sec everyone again, but it was, in mam cases, surprising. I was met at the door by Jackie, w ho is the new campaign manager for Wallace’s fifth try for the presidency. Jackie is still hopeful. Also in the w orld of politics is Bunny, w ho has just entered the legislature at the University of Virginia. Helen, chief sampler for the Whitman Candy Company, was passing around her company’s products all afternoon. She and Frannic had much to say to each other, for Fran has just published her latest best-seller, How to Make Pie-Dough Thin . It’s the tale of an apple-pan-dowdy and her tart lover. In talking to Judv, I found she’s now president of a fast-spreading com- pany. “Long’s Salon for the Undeveloped. Bucky, her star pupil, made such great progress after parting with her tape-worm, that she has had to resort to the Dubarrv Success Course. Mademoiselles Justine and Marie Theresc are creating a rage in Paree w ith their new “crew-cut coiffures”. I hey import their “light-en-ing” effects from the Johnson-Willard Corporation of Oklahoma. Margie Johnson has just returned from Europe, where she has been staging magnificent art exhibits. In the business world. Magnolia Holbrook has just opened a saloon in New Orleans with drinks on the house for Sullie s boys. I Ier feature attraction is Bubbles Block, w ho performs said dance. Pat, the country’s leading chemist, is writing a book on Bubbles in which the main theme is not how to split the atom, — but the bubble! Anne I lohnan is the chief taste-tester of the Newman- Wright Skag Company, and says she just lov es her job! Miggie’s Blind Date Agency was so successful that Claudia and Ann Peters are now happily married. So w hat if they couldn’t speak Eskimonian? Joan l ow son still chooses to remain independent, and has just subscribed to her twentieth consecu- tive season at the Annapolis tea dances. She hopes that in spite of her white hair she will be invited to the first I lop. Florence owns a gailv-lit stand at Rehobotli Beach, where slie sells her new improved guaranteed-not-to-run mascara. Genie has recentlv been chosen America’s Beach Girl of 1968 and has achieved wide fame. Julie, her neighbor, is operating a rest home for the weary. Her chief clients are survivors of Gail’s course, Conga and Bunny-Hop in a Strap- less ”, which, from experience, Gail guarantees will stay up. She admits that part of her secret to success is due to Bobbie’s new product, “Stay-up- Stickum” for the strapless gowns of those w ho have not yet been to Long’s Salon. Dudley, who didn’t go to Long’s Salon, is one of Bobbie’s chief customers. In the world of entertainment, Pippy has taken a brief vacation from Opera to star in the Broadway hit, “U. Ya.’s Ragtime Gal , in which her singing and dancing have captivated thousands. Out Hollywood way Liz Johnston is producing and directing her latest movie, ‘Rock Creek Rendezvous”. She may star in it just for old time’s sake. Mo is leading a brilliant career in fashion-designing in New York. Also, Nancy and Betsy have finally retired from modeling in Manhattan, much to the disappointment of everyone. They have an apartment with Ann Morris, who is dazzling the Stork Club with her sultry singing. Bettv Battle and Jean Hanna are the main figures in the sports world. Betty, having finally decided between Duke and Carolina, made the foot- ball team in spite of lumbago. Jean is touring England in order to teach America’s latest techniques in hockey. She is fast becoming the Miss Applebee of the U. S. Other news from abroad is the rumored v isit of Sibvl and her husband w ith their two daughters, who will enter Mount Vernon next year. Ann and Ginny have become quite prosperous on their western ranches. Ann is raising cattle, w hile Ginny is raising “cattle-acs”. Dear Diarv, you are not to infer that the class of 48 produced no scientists, for Adrian and her able assistant, Beth, having overcome earlier sentiments, are earn ing on vital experiments on elephants at the Washing- ton Zoo. This certainlv has been one of the most exciting days of my life, and one that 1 w ill long remember. Who would have dreamed twenty years ago that the class of 48 would produce so many celebrities!

B providing the school w ith real leadership, it furnishes the guid- ing hand that helps us through many difficulties. The Council, this year headed by Stu- dent Body President Bunny Miller, is made up of the presidents and vice-presi- dents of the forms, the president of Op- tima, and the heads of Lend-A-Hand, Social League and the Athletic Associa- tion. Aided bv the advisers, Mrs. Lloyd, Miss Hastings, Mrs. Lindsay, and Miss Carter, it strives to uphold the high stan- dards of citizenship at M. V. S. Meetings are held frequently and all student problems and activities arc dis- cussed. At one of their meetings the Council was visited by Miss Bertie Bac- kus, an authority on student govern- ments. The members planned a day in the spring during which our parents might come and observe the daily life of the school. The Council is proud of the fact that this year, through the Chapel Committee, Library Committee, Study I Iall proctors, and other fields where the Student Coun- cil is in charge, more students are taking part in the running of our school than ever before. Seated: Margaret Johnson, President; Mrs. Lloyd, Adviser; Barbara Davis. Standing: Helen B. Adams, Katherine Miller, Gail Hall, Frances Jewell. Elizabeth Johnston. Jane Lank. Optima The Optima Club is Mount Vernon ' s honor society. A student is eligible for membership when she has attained a place on three out of four I Ionor Rolls and as mam Citizenship Honor Rolls. To be asked to become a member is considered a great honor, and membership in the club is the aim of every student. In addition to frequent meetings, four times a year the club meets for dinner together at school and then initiates new members. I bis year at Christmas the members adopted a family through Friendship House and bought presents and food for it. In the spring a tea was held at which each member and her guests brought a book. These books were sent to a school in England. Everyone espe- cially enjoyed the Optima party which highlighted the year’s events. The purpose of Optima has always been to uphold the highest academic standards as well as the best citizenship at Mount Vernon. 44 £« Sailed: Joannic Holbrook; Standing: Nancy Chambcrlaine, Mice Lee Carter, Can-el Breeding, Absent: Jenny W einman.

Obtaining food, decora- tions, music, and men were a few of the problems they had to tackle. With the assistance of Mrs. Lindsay and Miss Car- ter, thev came through with th ing colors. Our first formal was the Christmas dance on December 13th in the Refec- tory. The couples danced amid Xmas trees, tinsel, soft lights, and the music of Jack Lockwood’s orchestra. When we re- turned from spring vacation we had sev- eral informals. We all looked forward to the big graduation prom in May, which was a perfect ending to our wonderful season. •■ ■3 -L Saitcd: Man Wright. Miss Carter, clviser; Standing: Klizabeth Johnston.

Each student pledges an an- nual contribution which forms the trea- son of the organization. Our group has helped mam wortln causes, such as the Red Cross, the Community Chest, and other charities, and hopes to continue along the same paths in the future. We started this year with a candy sale w hich was a huge success. With the pro- ceeds from this sale, we bought a Christ- mas stocking, volleyball, a football for Hillcrest Home, and presents for other underprivileged children. Perhaps our most worthy project, and the one we are most proud of, is our adopted French boy. We have been privileged to have had two speakers this year, the head of the Seeing Eve with his dog, and Mr. Sex- more I Ioughton, who runs a refugee home for children in France. We profited greatly from these assemblies and con- tributed to both w orthy projects. vs 5 46 Seated: Mesa Washburnc. Margaret Johnson. Frances Jewell, Gail Hall. Standing: Diana W alter.

Cupola Frances Jewell Editor Gail I fall Literary Editor Marjorie Johnson Art Editor The “Cupola” was compiled by the combined efforts of a number of girls, but it was the Editor’s conscience that sent it to press. Mesa did a grand job on pictures, spending mam study halls rounding up unwilling preps, and with the help of a few camera sharks she filled up the snap pages with a fine array of pictures. Gail managed to gather together her literary material and spent many bleak week-ends with the staff, writing, revising, and re-writing the copy. Under Pippy’s capable guidance the Margaret Johnson Business Manager Diana Walter Advertising Manager Mesa Washburnc Photography Editor advertising campaign was a great success, and thanks to it we were able to publish the “Cupola . M iggv wore herself out sending bills, thank-vou-letters, and pleading with the girls to plc-e-e-ase bin a year book. Marjie did splendid work on the literary as well as the art end and contributed two of our most important articles. Finally, we wish to thank those few , but w illing, “ad hounds’ and all the girls who gave so freely of their time and talent that we might publish this vear book. 47 •-«v 48 £ � Activities Every girl at Mount Vernon has an opportunity to become a part of an activ- ity suited to her interests. She may pub- lish a yearbook, act in a play, sing, draw, garden, and even learn to type. The Publications Activity published the first edition of our new literarv quarterly “Campus Carousel ”, this spring. In this newest creative effort. Publications hope to inspire original writing of both prose and poetrv. The members also contribute to the organization and success of “The Cupola . In order that each girl share in the work she likes best, the activity is or- ganized into different committees that work on business and advertising, typing, creative writing, and photography. The Gardening Club is one of the most useful and important of the activities. The work was a great deal of fun, and everyone enjoyed planting bulbs and seeds around the campus. The result of their labors was a great pleasure to all, as a campus decorated with colorful flowers blossomed in the spring. The Prep Players launched a successful ear bv selecting as their first presentation, “The Magi’s Gift,” an operetta in two acts. The singers, members of the Glee Club, and the dancers added to the pic- turesqucncss of the play. They also pre- sented “Little W omen”, in the spring. Every Thursday afternoon the usual quiet that prevails at Mount Vernon is broken bv the harmonious voices emanat- ing from the assembly room. The Glee Club is holding its weekly session. The group sang in the old Mount Vernon Chapel for the Founder’s Day service. They also took part in the Christmas plav, gave a spring recital and participated in other choral activities. The membership of the Art Club has increased greatly since the start of the club a year ago. These aspiring artists learn the finer points of painting, sketch- ing, drawing, modeling with clay, work- ing with charcoal and pastels, and thus gain more confidence in their artistic ability. Thev visit exhibitions and art galleries, and also arc very helpful in mak- ing posters for advertising school activi- ties. Many students felt that they w ould like to learn to type, and so our Typing Activ- ity was organized. Despite the fact that the typists met only once a week, they progressed well. They soon learned the keys, the placements of letters, margins, and other elementary techniques. Thev reported that w ith a little more practice, thev would be almost “professional . 49 ART CLUB — Seated Ann heeler, Marlene Jacobson, Betsy MacCubbin. Standing: Anne Holman.

Representatives are elected from each class to serve on the Athletic board, which directs the sports activities of the school. Our hockey season was very successful, being high-lighted by a visit from the famed English hockey instructor, Miss Applebee. The Prep School field day w as held at our school and many of our players were elected to the all- Washington hockey team, chosen on that day. Many girls went to National Cathedral School each Saturday morning during the season to practice with other schools. Several were later chosen for the Washington Junior 1 lockev Club team. Despite the fact that basketball practice was governed strictly bv the weather man, we managed to have a very good season. Our softball and tennis teams provided much enjoyment to spectators and plavers alike. The highlight of the year was the “Father-Daughter Day’ picnic and base- ball game.
