Table of Contents FACULTY Page 7 Throughout the years they shape, with careful pre- cision, the patterns of our lives and secure them firmly to the tapestry. SENIORS Page 12 These four years have been like a tapestry with all of our experiences woven into it. UNDERCLASSMEN Page 4l Gay, carefree, with the laughter of ingenious youth, they supply a jumble of brightly hued threads for our tapestry. ACTIVITIES Page 47 In these intricate designs we seem to hear voices raised in song or soliloquy and see the gifted writer at work. SPORTS Page 63 These are durable threads, equal to any test; the spirit and sportsmanship that strengthens them will never weaken. ADVERTISEMENTS. Page 7 1

We cannot help but feast our eyes on a mass of colorful threads ranging from pure white to vivid reds — threads of athletic activities; reds of courage and victory and white of occasional defeat, all woven into the shapes of hockey sticks and point cups. How great is this part of our life which has taught us to love good- sportsmanship, teamwork, and competition! The tapestry, with all its color, its growing pattern and design, represents one smali portion of our life; small but meaningful and comprised of memories and knowledge which have been given us by parents, friends and the many fields of activity as Mt. Vernon. And so, this section of the tapestry of life completed, we can only look ahead knowing that the section which follows, though longer and perhaps more difficult, will be more easily woven from the experience that we have already had. Mrs. Bruce Silcox We, the class of 1956, wish to express our gratitude for all the understanding and guidance you have given us, Mrs. Silcox. The endless hours of patient assistance that you have devoted to our class projects and to each of us individually have not gone unnoticed. Your quiet presence has been a constant source of strength and your wise suggestions have helped us when we needed help most. From each member of the Senior Class come love and good wishes in appreciation for your unfailing kindness throughout the past three years. 5
