PHOENIX: Fabulous Arabian bird. Emblem of<br />
solar or fire worship. It supposedly<br />
great age,<br />
lives to a<br />
at which time it burns itself to ashes<br />
and after three days comes to life again. Thus, it<br />
is symbolic of immortaHty, rejuvenation, self-<br />
immolation. It appears alone, without mate or<br />
companions. Figuratively, a person of singular<br />
or superlative excellence, a prodigy.
Its advent heralds an auspicious<br />
event; its departure foretells a<br />
calamity. It is symbolic of abundance,<br />
beauty, prosperity and re-birth.

The dedication of a yearbook<br />
^'*^iV%f-l<br />
must reflect the interaction of the entire<br />
community. Such tribute should be to those who have touched<br />
the moments or days of our lives. Thus,<br />
we dedicate<br />
<strong>Phoenix</strong> to each of those who have lessened a<br />
moment of crisis or shared an hour<br />
of happiness. Thank you.<br />

So closely interwoven have been our lives.<br />
Our purposes, and experiences,<br />
That separated, we have a feeling of<br />
incompleteness.<br />
United, such strength of self assertion,<br />
that no ordinary obstacles,<br />
differences, or dangers<br />
ever appear to us insurmountable.<br />

Each year. Social League treats us to a Spring Weekend, which, despite<br />
trials and tribulations, is always a success. Men from miles around flock to<br />
it's beer but<br />

who ever heard of wine, women and beer?). This year's Spring 'Weekend<br />
was brought to you by Cyndi Steele and Katie Kittle along with their<br />

SPRING WEEKEND .<br />

Mount Vernon was treated to an adventure in theatre this<br />
year with the production of Jack Heifner's 'Vanities."<br />
Produced by Marilys Ernst and Cunain Callers, the play<br />
was directed by Andrew Pyne, a graduate student in<br />
theatre at Catholic University. "Vanities" is concerned<br />
with the lives of three somewhat confused, somewhat so<br />
cially non-conscious young women who grew up in the<br />
sixties. The three stages of the play find them first in high<br />
school concerned only with cheerleading, boys and popu<br />
larity; in college, concerned only with sorority, boys and<br />
popularity; and then reunited briefly at a New York<br />
apartment as they are turning thiny, a Httle older, a little<br />
wiser and a little different. "Kathy," played by Mirra Pren<br />
dergast (center cheerleader) ended up searching for<br />
something with some meaning. "Mary," portrayed by<br />
Sarah Smith (cheerleader at right) became a thirty-year<br />
old world traveller and the somewhat bitter and over<br />
sexed owner of a pornographic art gallery. And "<br />
"Joanne,<br />
the girl who never quite grew up but nonetheless married<br />
the boy of her dreams was brought to Ufe by Nancy Rob-<br />
140<br />
bins (cheerleader at left). The three girls are friends<br />
throughout their lives, so much so that they can never<br />
of time. Their de<br />
remember being apart for any length<br />
pendence on each other is touching and somewhat sad as<br />
their last act of sharing is Joanne's husband, Ted.<br />

The tennis team finished the season with a record of 8 wins and four<br />
losses this year which Coach Jan Hollack feels is an impressive<br />
record. On<br />
Saturday, April 28, <strong>1979</strong>, the Women's Capital Collegiate Tennis Tour<br />
nament was held at Mount Vernon. Jean Benoit (no. 1), Brooke<br />
Rosenblatt (no. 2) and Margaret McBee (no. 3) represented Mount 'Ver<br />
non in the singles matches. For the doubles matches, Tina Teipel and<br />
Martha Broeker as the No. 1 team and Susie Rammel and Lauren Venuto<br />
as the No. 2 team represented the College. In an exciting match, Tina and<br />
Martha beat the St. Mary's team to win the tournament title in the dou<br />
bles consolation period. Coach Hollack is quite proud of her team's per<br />
formance this year and is looking forward to another great season.<br />
