Evening brings all that the light-giving dawn scattered. dedication Mrs. Wayne Hunter None of us are quite sure how that little piece of algae is going to complement the dinner party that we are sure to hold on the moon in the year 1970, but Mrs. Hunter has already prepared the menu. The recipes are bound to be as unusual as predicted by the scientists for the future, and she will, no doubt, know them all after having studied nuclear physics at Howard University last summer. Every summer, in order to study a branch of science, Mrs. Hunter is given a scholarship in recognition of her high intelligence and also to keep her up with the latest “Fungi-Souffles” — a dish common people may recognize if announced as “mushrooms.” We also think that it may be necessary to warn these guests that they are just as likely to accidentally drink a little nitric acid as they are their coffee when the “mad scientist” is around. Being a woman who lives for the future, she has undoubtedly jotted down our guest list. It being seldom that she heeds the narrow conventions that limit the rest of us, it is quite possible that she would shock everybody by daring to seat an electron next to a proton when everybody KNOWS that the two cannot stand each other ' s presence. However, we will have to expect the unusual to occur, because it usually does when Mrs. Hunter comes around. We, as her guests, know that she will be the center of attraction at the party. She is a fascinating woman to listen to. Quite unable to confine herself to one subject at a time, she may suddenly jump from the subject of regeneration to the smog problems in her beloved New York. No matter how crowded the party, how confusing or chaotic, we will be just as delighted to have Mrs. Hunter as our hostess in 1970 as we are to dedicate our yearbook. “Cupola, especially to her this year of 1967. 15 the heart to conceive, the understanding to direct, or the hand to execute. anonymous 17 Mr. Peter D. Pelham How difficult it is to write an appropriate June message in January; how difficult to imagine final examinations and graduation festivities when snow and ice still cover the ground. But since we have entered the new year, it is at least easier to think in terms of 1967 and realize that this is your year, the year of your commencement. Commencements not only connote a sense of com- pletion. the awarding of diplomas and degrees for work accomplished, but also signify a beginning, a new phase in one’s life. On this occasion, therefore, I would like to request that as each of you approaches your 1967 graduation you think especially about two precious and related elements which constitute prin- cipal and integral parts of one’s commencement in life. Remember first the passage from St. Paul’s letter to the Corinthians which we have read together often, particularly that part which begins “But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.” It suggests so much of what you have been working towards — a fulfillment, a sense of completion — and it concludes with what is in Paul’s mind, the summum bonum, the supreme good, for all mankind: Love. How appropriate this passage is to all of us and how timeless its meaning and intent. It is altogether fitting, therefore, that the author of The Prophet, writing in another age, should think of the relation- ship between time and love and write accordingly: And is not time even as love is, undivided and paceless? But if in your thought you must measure time into seasons, let each season encircle all other seasons, And let today embrace the past with remembrance and the future with longing. The year 1967 marks but one commencement for you in a lifetime full of graduations. I hope that at each stage your development will reflect increasingly sensitive understanding of both love and time and that you will find many occasions to use that knowl- edge well in service to your fellow man. k - PulA 18 Miss Gutheim: Dean, U.S. History, Bible, Optima, Cum Laude, Student Council, Chapel Guild, Activities Coun- cil. above: Mrs. Jones: English, Carousel . below, left: Mrs. Parker: English.

This year the Student Council is composed of eleven girls who have had more work and responsibility than formerly, despite the de- creasing size of the school. In previous years the school was run only on the Honor Code, but this year the Student Council has added a demerit system. During the school year, the council sets aside a week or two during which the students compete for the fewest demerits and straightest chapel lines. Each student in the winning class earns the privi- lege to leave school after her last appoint- ment for one week. The chief objective of the council this year might be said to be to instill the spirit that has always distinguished Mount Vernon from other schools. house council House Council consists of a president, four prefects, two proctors, and advisors. Each prefect is assigned to one of the halls, and the proctors help keep order on the underclassmen halls. Two advisors are present at Council meetings. On Halloween night the seniors surprised the underclassmen with a shower of can- dies. I ' m dreaming of a ninety-eight-pound Santa Claus . . . the Christmas party was a riot.

Not so much fun is having to welcome visitors at Council meetings. House Council is the student government of the dormitory, and amassed “warnings” result in visits to the Council for admonitions and spankings; i.e., swabbing the deck of the rec. room after the smoking hours.

Four years ago, a dark-headed lass from the now- famous, but, at one time, obscure place of Smithville, Tennessee, found herself in a funny little girls’ boarding school which soon found her. As class president, you would find “Mare” up at dawn scribbling away at new ideas for the class projects. Today as head of the student body, there are no crack-of-dawn preparations, but only scurrying from the dean ' s office to the president’s; there are benevolent speeches from the pulpit. Most characteristic of “Adelaide” are her day dreams of “Watcha’-callit?” down in Tennessee, her room, a little on the messy side and her chip-toothed grin.

That ' s what you are — belligerent!” Per- haps if you don ' t really know Cinny you think that. Our senior class president, Cinny, has no qualms about stating her opinions or asking a question, and she will always stand out in a crowd and in the usual disorder of class meetings. Whether roaring down the Commons on a pair of roller skates or scrambling for her suitcase to Mexico and now Italy, she creates a state of perpetual chaos. If you ever want to find her, go down to that little Mexican restaurant. “Yup” — underneath the stacks of hot tamales, enchiladas, and cigarette fumes — that ' s our Cinny!

A down-to-earth, practical girl, Sheri may still be ruffled by everyday problems, but she is never overcome by them. Driving before she was sixteen? Sheri? Never! But one can get a license in Virginia at fifteen, remember? We know that Duke University will appreciate Sheri’s many qualities.

Everything in Regans world is “lunchy” and “flashed upon ’ and everyone in it is a “pie” or a “potato.” Since she always has something to say, Regan often uncon- sciously gives her teachers competition in class. Boiling with excitement and enthusiasm, she rarely stops gig- gling, but, once settled down, “Rege” is an ardent, com- petent leader, as shown by her effective presidency of Social League.

If you have a problem and can’t find her, she is either at “the Tombs,” Washington and Lee, or in New York modeling. And on campus, she is usually sprawled across her bed munching fruit chewies. “Bets” has a mind of her own which is reflected in her up-to-date dress and her strong opinions in class.

Four Years Inner sunshine warms not only the heart of the owner , but all who come in contact with it” Mayfair is a breath of fresh air in the senior class. Whenever she breezes into a room, an inevitable half- grin is implanted on her face, and cheerful remarks naturally pour out. Not only does “Maypole” breeze into a room, but she breezes up the hockey field, down the basketball court, and around the baseball diamond. But “May can be quiet also. She is quiet in her sym- pathy for others and their problems, and she is quiet in her studiousness. It is through “May’s” actions that we remember her best.

Still achieving , still pursuing, Learn to labor and to wait ” Carol s warm personality is soon evident despite a shy and quiet manner. Whether studying her French in the library or running to her dance class, she is a person known by all to be quietly, yet fervently, inter- ested in all that happens around her. Quick wit, clever sarcasm, and an original philosophy make her an at- tractive member of any unintimidated group.

Her effervescence is put to use as a cheerleading captain since her screaming and cheering for the Yellows cannot be missed. Though not noticeable at first, “Nance” has a mind of her own which is illustrated by her untypical outfits, her unex- pected remarks, and a personality uninfluenced by other people. Nancy may not be sympathetic but she’ll always listen.

Captain IV. dorothy myers brownell Kensington, Maryland Four Years “Summer Afternoon — the two most beautiful words ” On the surface, Dorothy is a carefree individual, yet at heart, she is an unmistakable realist. “Dorfs” is an outspoken defender of the principles of Landon and the merits of South Bethany. Her favorite past-times are strumming her guitar, playing pool, or drinking coke after coke. Dorothy ' s effervescent spirit is best displayed in her ability to lead the Yellow Team. « Yellow; Captain IV; Class Vice-President I; Activities Council IV; Mount Vernon Singers IV; Sports Club I.

Despite the mischief in her eye. “Byrd” is a true friend. On campus if you can’t find her in the field house, she is on the phone. Off campus she is generally at U. Va.. Virginia Beach, or down in the “Tombs.” Always “everybody’s sister,” there is never a dull moment with Bev around. White; Chapel Guild I; Cupola III, IV; Lend-a-Hand II.

Winder, and Thcrapads, or illiter- ates from Athens. All these things compose a girl re- spected and considered a friend by all.

Three Years fy life is like a stroll upon the beach Vicki lives in a world of levi’s, long dark hair, and “Motown.” Sarcastic, yet optimistic, she combines a caustic wit with a general love for life — life outside of school, that is. Her distinctions this year were varied, ranging from being the first to hit a car in the parking lot. to developing spring fever in January, to being the last to hand in a French paper. “I betcha fifty cents that the Senators win this weekend: I betcha twelve soul songs on the jukebox that you got a higher grade on that Latin test!” Vicki lives in a world of levi’s, long dark hair, and “Motown.” ellou; Optima IV: Carousel, Assistant Editor III.

She has even been known to stand on a chair in English class reciting to her classmates. But this was a relatively rare incident since you are initiated into Op- tima only once. Bonita is more commonly seen playing tennis after classes for bonus exercise (the easier to lose weight by), or seen giggling with somebody over nothing in particular. Gaiety is Bonnie’s particular talent.

As soon as the gates of M.V.S. creaked on their hinges September 17, this “clearasil personality of the month” or maybe “most innocent face of the year,” became everybody’s friend. In looking for her one might try Princeton or the coast of North Cape. One would never hear her call either of these the “pits.” If one ever needs the answer to the question “Do blondes have more fun?”, surely “Culby” has the answer. And if one needs amusement, just ask her to do one of her “ratfink” faces. Yellow; Lcnd-a-Hand IV; Social League IV. deborah ann davis Bethesda, Maryland Four Years “Quiet is a good thing Debbie is a quiet but much-loved member of her class. Always a w illing volunteer for all M.V.S. activi- ties, she helps bake food, decorate for the dances, and lends her pool to her class for a picnic. One expects to see “Deb” with a deep tan year-round for she’s either off for a holiday in Hawaii, a weekend in California, or a “bask” by the pool in her backyard. Most of all, it’s her warm smile, big heart and gleeful laugh that have made Debbie an outstanding member of her class.

We witnessed MORE a new hair color, new clothes, a new vocabulary, cer- tain new habits, and a new variety of boys. Brad ' s dis- tinction is horses of every kind and color, but she con- siders Kentucky-bred ones the best. Brad has other big distinctions. She ' s an “A-f French student; she makes oxygen with ease in the chemistry lab; she dries her hair in Acheson; and her dates have raised the social level on lower senior. Thank you.

Four Years “A v thoughts no tongues can tell ” Originator of “banana your dreams,” Potsy is one of the “arebasag” fanatics. She is a great “hippy-dippy” and one of those constant admirers of the be-bop jive of the long gone years. She is often seen keeping time with her waving hands and muttering “doot-doo,” or possibly “Help, I’m a rock. And she has a thing about drawing. In school Potsy is either making posters, lounging in the field house, or editing Carousel. Potsy possesses soul.

Her apt remarks, comic gestures, and self-panic dominate every situation where she is present, whether directing the skits for the Junior-Senior Banquet, or playing Miss Gooch on our stage. During the week Gaby bestows her time equally on the M.V.S. field house, rehearsals, and Pegasus stables. “Toujours gaie!’ Gabrielle is a necessary part of every function!

Yet every other weekend, she finds time to either fly home to a family wedding, plan a ski trip, rendez-vous with her latest beau, or practice for a concert in Post Hall. Surely, if “Lane” were to choose her life’s occupation, she would be a ski bum, “trilling” down a mountain side. But, her constructiveness and diligence shown in schoolwork and her leadership of the Mount Vernon Singers would never permit such a life for Elaine.

Three Years “Self-confidence is the first requisite to great undertakings ” Penny brought with her to M.V.S. in a collapsible suitcase, a non-villager wardrobe, memoirs of Wisconsin summers and past loves, strangely concocted recipes, subtle jokes and puns accompanied by villainous expres- sions, and a talent for creative writing. She can always find time for a lively discussion over a salad or two or most likely three at lunch time. Adorned in athletic banners galore and her former Lady Godiva locks streaming behind.

Always lively and jovial, “Katie,” as she prefers to be called, is never bothered by anything. A Spanish test can ' t prevent her regular morning trip to the book- store; five “F ' s” in gym can’t force her to have her health form filled out. Always willing to voice her opinions, she often contradicts others with a drawn out “No-o-o!” However, one knows whatever Kate says is meant kindly no matter how emphatic a voice she uses. And she will always give a compliment if it is earned. White; Chapel Guild IV; Carousel IV; Cupola III, IV; Social League III, IV. 35 Pamela anne frey Washington, D. C. Two Years All sorts of funny things run round my head. Rosy cheeks, pigtails and saddle shoes might connote innocence, but there is an exception to every rule, and “Pammy” is a prime example. She has multiple plots to get the family ear: a Sunday night movie in Arling- ton, a “necessary ' 1 trip to the city library, or a needed spin to a friend’s house. Since projects like these occupy most of her time, she is apt to do things at the last minute. A part of Pam ' s busy life is occupied in being a good friend.

She can be seen sympathizing with a fellow classmate or talking to a new underclassman in the halls. Yet she can always find time to complete every odd job in the senior class. Wylie ' s single room this year does not isolate her at all, for her sunny dis- position and understanding still permeate the other rooms.

Whether it ' s her chicken calls in downtown D. C. or her food fights in the refectory, Mary is certain to surprise someone. And her famous naivite is a constant source of amusement. Her vivacity is an asse t to Mount Vernon ' s spirit, and as captain of the White cheerleaders, she instills enthusiasm and ex- citement in all around her. White: Cupola II.

One might hear her in the day student locker room lecturing on communal living in Europe, bidets in France, or German shepherds in Florence. As one of Mount Vernon’s happiest students, Martha is char- acterized by her pixyish laugh. However, a cloud may come over her face in traumatic times. One time was when she learned that her distinctive M.W.G. monogram was not part of the uniform. Competent in “personality,” competent in business as financier of Cupola , Martha is ready for the world.

In the sophomore year we remember her as a Cleopatra from “Wisconsin.” The next year her bangs disappeared in a shorter hair style and we seemed to perceive a Spanish instead of an Egyptian air about her. As a prefect, she wields her power in the impossible job of keeping study halls quiet. “Claude’s” short stay in the East will soon come to a close and, in view of her college plans, we will sadly return her to the West.

Three Years “The only gift is a portion of thyself” Perpetually long, lightish locks, and a soft high- pitched voice are the outward characteristics of Toni: a house in Georgetown, a trip to Brown University, or a visitor from Brown University distinguish her from any other in the senior class. Driving through George- town is most difficult, as Toni has learned from her smashing experience in her front yard. No class can terminate without Toni’s cheerful participation, nor can the class forget Toni ' s shining role as “Mademoiselle.” White; Chapel Guild III, IV; Lend-a-Hand II.

Still another vital part of Kerry is her interest in those around her. for she will readily sympathize with one ' s problems or smile at one ' s happiness. Responsibility is another important aspect of Kerry. Whether she is participating in one of her many varsity classes or in some class project, she is always ready to do her share enthusiastically.

Caroline is a welcome addition to any crowd at Mount ernon. So pretty and neat we could not do without M. her. A new resident of Florida. Caroline is a great ad- YV mirer of her new home although an Ohioan at heart. Yellow ; House Council I. II; Cupola IV; Mount Vernon Singers • m Social League I. II.

Four Years “ Life is always interesting when you have a purpose and live in its fulfullment” The auburn hair seen in the goalie cage at one end of the hockey field, on the basketball court, or helping Mrs. Cannon manage athletic affairs belongs to Christy. She can also be found studying for a test in the library, gabbing with her friends, or working in the chemistry- biology lab. Her enthusiasm for class and team has been an important contribution to the school. Not a bake sale has passed without her contributions, a committee meeting without her support, or an inter-team game without her cheering.

C. Three Years ‘7 ' m no angel” Jill is a unique and a not easily-forgotten person. At one moment she is turning the school upside down and the next moment she is seated sedately in the back of a class. “Beans” manages to become well-acquainted with every new face that appears on and often off the Mount Vernon Campus. “Julia’s” mind is always busy making plans for the next U. Va. week-end simultane- ously with making plans for yearbook layouts. She is frequently seen in the latest fashions that she has “whipped up” for a dance or party. But despite her active life, Jill is always willing to sit down and sym- pathize with one’s problems because she will have had one comparable. Yellow; Activities Council IV; Chapel Guild II.

While passing the dorms after supper, if you hear Brenda Lee echoing out, it could only be “Gra” entertaining between drags. “Gra ' s” likes, not to mention her dis- likes, range from motorcycles to mini skirts.

Her boisterous laugh, not a giggle, crashes through the dorm as she bounds into bed after lights. Tennis balls, lambs, a frayed hockey stick, and thousands of multicolored pills equal “Nadine. When weather and health permit, Sandy is glued to the tennis courts, especially when there is male competition. “What can I do with this room?

Underneath this mask, her subtle, never unkind sarcasm and frank decisiveness, often exposed in class, arc very apparent. Equally evident are her red car, a gift for creating fantastic stories, and her laugh. Less noticed but just as characteristic of Mary is a cheer- ful disposition undaunted by the trials and tribulations of Mount Vernon.

And after a while your eyes start deceiving you because Lyn is at both ends of the court or field at once. What can one say about Lyn’s golf awards when her backyard is the Kenwood Country Club’s course? Who knows, Lyn might reach the Olympics. But athletics is only one aspect of Lyn’s life. For just as often as competing in a sport she is seen leading the class into chapel or heading class meetings. Competent is the best word to describe Lyn. Yellow; Class Vice-President II.

She is almost a contradiction to herself. One minute she seems to be down-to-earth and frank, and the next she has fallen for somebody’s joke. And despite her con- servative front she loves the guitar and listens to “soul” music. White; Cupola II; Mount Vernon Singers IV; Social League II, III, IV. jan cheatham newton Griffin, Georgia Two Years “ Every form of human life is romantic ” Jan, with her “hey y ' all,” is one of the Southern belles of the Senior class. She can play the part of the dumb blonde expertly when it serves her purpose, but we know that instead, she is using her wits to have a good time. Jan is especially known for her bottomless stomach and her tendency to fall in love. Because of her bubbling personality and cheerful grin, Jan can make any dull moment seem bright.

If you stroll into Nadia’s room, she may be found eating her latest seven layer birthday cake, or dreaming of sailing to the music of Roger Williams. If anything goes wrong for “Nadier” we will hear a “durn. all messed up!” Nadia ' s stable influence and constant participation in school activities has been a definite contribution to the senior class.

All Annie had to do was to give us a few facial contortions topped with freckles in addition to a sympathetic car, and she had everyone charmed. Her likes and dislikes range from her rah rah ballerina booties to short boys. In addi- tion to her fun-loving attitude, Anne is a hard worker and a quick student who knows how to project the cor- rect mood at the correct time.

Whether cramming for an exam, practicing endlessly on her guitar with Jody for a record, or starving herself, Minou manages to wear herself and others out.

She loves drums, friends’ brothers and Latin lovers. Never without cigarettes or kaopectate, she runs around with a vigorous energy that sends everyone spinning, including herself.

Three Years “Two roads diverged in a wood, and 1 — I took the one less travelled by, And that has made all the difference” In three years, Kris has progressed from horsebreak- ing to house-hunting. The first member of our class to sport a diamond, Kris has had more than enough friendly help and suggestions for her coming wedding. Whether driving to and from school or to New York and back, she seems to spend more time in her car than anywhere else. As busy as Kris’s life is with wedding preparations, commuting, and schoolwork, she is able to fulfill thoroughly everything she does; she is always the first one to complete a chemistry experiment and practically the only student to understand every math problem.

Known as the Italian-Russian of the hockey team, Jean is always “up for it.” Whether serenading her room- mates, or cheering for the Yellows, she displays a spe- cial liveliness, which makes her so loveable.

And later she almost causes a school riot when people start form- ing lynching squads to get her for her “A.” But her classmates have finally caught on and refuse to sympa- thize.

The class, totalling forty-two girls, was sponsored by Mrs. LeBeau. The class officers were Cindy Beasley, president, Kate Williams, vice presi- dent, Becky Bean, secretary, and Nan Lyles, treasurer. In October the seniors gave us an informal party complete with skits at Anne West’s home. In prepa- ration for the Junior-Senior Banquet, the class spon- sored “Around the World with ’68,” a most success- ful fashion show at the Governor’s House. The clothes were from Tweeds N’ Things. Soon, the class’ attention turned to the banquet, held in April, in honor of the seniors. After many months of hard work, the Juniors presented “Encore ’67.” The themes of the skits were taken from famous Broadway plays. Then, following the skits, came the memorable ringing ceremony. The members of the Junior class have shown re- sponsibility in the projects that they have under- taken. Their spirit has enthusiastically illustrated that they are capable of leadership for their last year at Mount Vernon.

With this honor comes the responsibility of maintaining and promoting high standards of scholar- ship and citizenship. Members of the club are avail- able to help others in informal tutoring sessions. In addition to the annual Christmas party given for the children of the school’s employees, Optima spon- sored a spaghetti dinner in January. Club members also introduced speakers at the Thursday assemblies sponsored by the Fathers ' Club. In taking on the club motto, “Attainment through effort, each girl accepts her responsibility to main- tain high academic and social standards. 62 chapel guild This organization provides the Mount Vernon student with an opportunity for religious worship. Three mornings each week one student or faculty member stands at the pulpit and speaks on a subject which may be taken from the Bible, an applicable article, or from some of the person’s ideas. This Christmas, the Chapel Guild presented a service of lessons and carols. Each winter the club takes a trip to Natural Bridge, Virginia for a religious conference sponsored by the Council on Religion in Independ- ent Schools in conjunction with other private schools.

The services contributed by Lend-a-Hand arc many: weekly visits to the Georgetown Neighborhood House (At Christ- mas time the club gave a party for them); bi-weekly visits to the CARE offices to package and label boxes; Saturday morning’s “nurses’ aids” at the Columbia Hospital for Women. lend-a-hand library councl l int row: Mrs. Miller, advisor, Anne West, president.

At Christmas, the cast along with its various departments, worked together enthusiastically to produce “Winnie-the-Pooh.” A performance was given for the children of neighbor- ing schools, and the next evening it was presented to parents and friends. On the twenty-first of April, Prep Players presented “Our Hearts Were Young and Gay” to an intent audience of fathers and their daughters. A great success! Though the size of the club has diminished with our smaller school, its quality has remained and it has continued to put on excellent performances led by Gaby Eggcr and ad- vised by Mrs. Heflin, the director. Prep Players extends its thanks to Mrs. Heflin for the great help she has given to the girls. 69 BELOW: First row: Gail Huguely, Randol Stephens, Susan Hitz, Bitsy Marshall, Carol Ziegler, Susan Sterrett, Kate Williams, Lyn Billingsley.

All the excitement, screaming, cheering and clap- ping at the games ended enthusiastically at the annual Athletic Association Banquet, where awards for athletic achievement were presented.
