MADISON COLLEGE, HARRISONBURG, VIRGINIA E DICATION W E, have had another year at Madison; for some of us, the first; for some, the last; but another year. And because a year at college is a little different from anything else we have ever known or shall experience, because it probably has left us happier, stronger individuals, we gladly dedicate our year-book to the ones who have made it possible. They have been described often in glowing terms, for it is they who have been always most interested in our well-faring. The glow is in our hearts as we dedicate our book to them, and say, simply, Thanks, to OUR PARENTS READING AND PRAYER H lAPPY is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding. . . . Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace. Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of thine hand to do it. . . . Get wisdom, get under- standing ; forget it not ; neither decline from the words of my mouth. . . . Wisdom is the prin- cipal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding. . . . Take fast hold of instruction; let her not go: keep her; for she is thy life. Proverbs 3:13, 17, 27; 4:5, 7, 13. IN a world devastated by uncertainty and war, we are thankful for this year spent at college. We have received much instruction; we have pursued wisdom and understanding. We pray that we may find peace, if not around us, at least within our minds; we pray that through deepened insight and appreciation we may know happiness. May we have learned, through associations here, to better understand our fellowmen, that we may not withhold from them the good that it is within our power to do. Give us a smile with which to face disap- pointment and hardship as well as ways of pleasantness. Amen. NTRODUGTION W HEN, in a pensive mood, you dwell again within these gray stone walls, and live again this college year, the vividness will fade as the bright light of day into the sunset afterglow of memory. As the twilight hides the harshness of the landscape, so is the bitterness of disappointment forgotten. You smile, and wish that you could put the memory in a frame and hang it on the wall, to look at. Through written words, through photograph and drawing, through toil if not talent, we have tried to do that for you. Here is your picture. We give you the Faculty under whose directions you labored not in vain — or was it? We give you the Freshman, slightly be- wildered at first, adjusting herself to this new pattern, aided by the major campus organizations ; the Sophomore, finding her friends and interests, joining as many clubs as possible; the Junior, enjoying the social privileges and position of an upper-classman, undaunted by the calming responsibilities that shadow her elder sister; the Senior, assuming her place as a leader on campus, honored in her May Day, counting her memories: the perennial hike to the Peak, week-ends at camp, the flu, the post office prayer on Valentine ' s Day . . . Read into this picture of an unfolding year at Madison the per- sonal story of your college days — smile — and we shall be satisfied Ab tS i V|£ fc OVV S ( y v c v p , - - ■• i I ; c V4W V15 A r ' ' ' ' ' ; •ffi Mtt y fiSPB i 1 ■- a . . • H | % SPBP 1 Igkl if ' ' ' jafllllijbMasK 1 SS£2i«: r_ 5 B BSTSSSsi ' 3 L i SKI £L ,wmmm ml MV T!H T W£ ■ MS 9 Ma Iff Wmlf dk ' jBfc- iiirn (jfircUes Wi (vitCf SAMUEL PAGE DUKE A.B., Randolph-Macon College A.M., Teachers College, Columbia University LL.D., Hampden-Sydney; 1919— LOOKING BACK AT AN EARLIER MADISON shows that the college has come far, but the Madison of the future looks to even greater advancement. Already the college moves forward with a record enrollment of 1,300 in 1940-41. In addition, a second home management house appeared, the Lincoln House became a dormitory, and the initial bow of the Madison Quarterly was made. Madison star-gazers entertain high hopes for the plans now on the horizon.

DINGLEDINE March 9, 1892— February 26, 1941 We never realize the value and priceless quality of a friend until we have lost one. As an advisor to the Student Government Association and professor of history and social sciences, he was indeed a treasure. But to us he was more than an advisor, he was one of us. That tall distinguished-looking personage with the dark-rimmed glasses and the characteristic cigarette holder is with us no longer. But, being the per- son that he was, standing for such high ideals, he influenced many of us and acted as an inspiration, and left us with new hope and courage, ideals and standards upon which to mold characters of strength.

This change was deemed advisable, since the curricula offered lead to other professions besides teaching. From the three hundred and seventy-five of us taking home economics, there will come in- stitution managers, home demonstration work- ers, commercial demonstrators, nutritionists, and dietitians. It ' s a long struggle from Foods 140, where we burnt the meat, to Home Manage- ment House, where we lived for twelve weeks and did everything from scrubbing the floors to cooking turkey for guest night. Those of us who aspire to educate future generations will never forget our weeks of stu- dent teaching. Remember how drippy we were the first day when we went in to meet our pupils Student Teaching at the Main Street School Right: Photographing Mercury Spec- trum in Advanced Physics Belovi : Man and Monkey: Pre-Nurs- ing Students Above: The Home Economics Girls at Work after walking to school in the hardest down- pour of the year? How we tried to recall the advice given in Dr. Hounchell ' s and Miss An- thony ' s education classes, that first time our supervisors left us alone? No, we ' ll never for- get. What pre-nursing student can forget the thrill we got when our monkeys arrived? Then we got down to the serious business of peeling off muscle layers and tracing veins throughout Oscar ' s anatomy. Sometimes our friends sus- pected us of neurotic tendencies as we wan- dered around mumbling, fibula, humerus, tibia, vena, . . . but that was because they had never taken one of Dr. Phillips ' s skeleton tests. In another part of the science department, Dr. Pittman not only showed us how to get Kay Kyser on our radios, but also amused us with tales of faculty doings. Our thanks we wish to offer to Sanders, Lyon, and Slaughter, say the commercial stu- dents; for we future secretaries firmly believe our teachers are tops. We not only learn to type our A, B, C ' s, but also how to be efficient on all angles of our job. Monday: I ' ll never forget the sinking feeling I had when I first saw Madison College over the entrance and looked up at the buildings. I looked; they glared. My family got me straightened out and said that they absolutely couldn ' t stay a minute longer than 5:30. I said that it seemed to me, if I had to stay nine months, they could stay until 9 o ' clock. . . . They left at 5:30. Tuesday: Today we registered! that is, we stood in a line reaching the length of Wilson Hall, for several hours, wait- ing to sign for classes. If my parents had stuck around, Mr. Chappelear would have The freshmen arrived, bringing new life, ambition, . . . and trunks let me go in ahead of the line. My Petersburg roommate keeps talk- ing about wanting to make the hock ey team. We went to see Brigham Young tonight, thinking that, if we cried, people would think we were crying over the movie. I feel as if I ' m starving. I must not be very homesick, for I can eat three meals a day and all the time between meals. Wednesday : Why didn ' t I listen to my Big Sister when she said bring a raincoat, umbrella, and rubber boots? I ' m soaked (in more ways than one). By the looks of things, I ' ll be broke before Satur- day. Well, since everybody in the junior and senior classes says I ' ll like it here in a couple of weeks, it must be so. What does one do in the meantime? Thursday: Thank heavens it has stop- ped raining, and I have some mail. Did you say we have Orientation at 4:30? We have to write scores of t hemes and remember everything Mrs. Cook says, and pass an exam at Christmas? Well, I don ' t think I ' ll go. You say it ' s optional — com- pulsory? 5:30 Thursday afternoon: That class wasn ' t half bad; I think the sophomore was ribbing me. Friday: Went to the faculty reception and lost my name. There ' s a dance now? Let ' s go. What! No boys to dance with? Well, I think I ' ll study Government. ■■■•■ ' Freshmen, the class of 1944 T HE largest of all classes got under way rather peacefully last fall, after the first two weeks thinned out the violently homesick. Our class election went off with much less log rolling than usual, for Johnny West was unanimously elected president. The Marshall family were chosen sponsors.

Still, the class as a whole came through successfully. Hockey was a new sport for most of us. Remember the time Miss Ap- plebee coached our phys. ed. class, and we staggered in and collapsed on our beds, mentally disillusioned and physically despairing of ever learning to play? Bids were sent out — goats came out, and white dresses went out (to the laundry). Some of us made it; some waited hopefully. £5 £l THE 1941 MARY ALLEN DOROTHY ANDERSON ISABEL ANDERSON JOSEPHINE ANDERSON MARY ANDERSON SADIE ANDERSON KATY ARINGTON RUTH ARMON LEAH AUSTIN MAMIE BAGBY ELIZABETH BAILEY PRISCILLA BALDWIN BESSIE BALL IMOGENE BARNES MARIE BAUSERMAN DELPHINE BECK MARIAN BENNETT LOIS BERGEN RUTH BLANKS JO BLEDSOE EVANGELINE BOLLINGER JULIA BOOTH LENA BOURNE LOIS BOWMAN FLORENCE BRAND MAGGIE WOOD BRETT JEAN BREWER GENEVIEVE BRISTOW ELEANOR BROWN FRANCES BRUGH HORTENSE BRYANT MARION BURRITT BETTY CAMPBELL VIRGINIA CARRINGTON CELESTE CAULKINS JULIA CHILDRESS LUCILE CLARK AVONELLE COFFELT JOE ANNE COGGIN EVELYN COHEN AN CLASS KATHRYN COLEMAN NANCY COLLIER WILDA COMER BETTY CONRAD BETTY CORNETT ELEANOR COUCH WINIFRED CRANDELL BILLY CRANFIELD NANCY CROCKETT OLIVE CROSS MARY CRUMPLER MARY CUNNINGHAM MARGARET DAVIS NANCYE DAVIS SUE DAVIS DOROTHY DELEMARRE EVELYN DENT MARY DENT BETTY DIXON VIRGINIA DODD ELIZABETH DODSON TRAVICE EAST ELAINE EGGERT JANE ELMORE ELLEN ENGLAND NANCY FAISON CLARA FARLEY MILDRED FAUBER DOROTHY FINLEY MARJORIE FITZPATRICK ANNE FOREHAND DOROTHY FOX PHYLLIS FREED MARGARET GAINFORT ALICE GARRETTE ESTELLE GEE RUTH GIBSON VIR GINIA GILBERT ISABEL GILMER RUTH GREEN VIRGINIA GREENLEAF NELL GRIMES CECELIA GRYMULSKI ANN GUTHRIE MATTIE GUTHRIE JEAN HALBERT RUBY HAMM MARY HAMNER JEANETTE HARRISON DORIS HAYES JANET HECOX NANCY HEDDERLY ANN HETHORN VIRGINIA HEYBURN THE 1941 MAN CLASS . . $ £} THE 1941 F AN CLASS .

You only half-saw the lights blinking on in the windows of the other dormitories lining the quadrangle; you only half-heard the steady patter of the raindrops on the roof just out- side your window. Resting against the win- dow screen was the brown bag — your evening meal — given you at noon. You ' d al- ready eaten the orange and bar of candy; and the cold roll and hunk of cheese were a little soggy now from the dampness. You were thinking of a home a hundred miles or so away and, with eleven hundred girls around you, you were lonely. That was early last fall. That was when you used to write home every day, even though there was nothing much to say. Seems sort of funny now, doesn ' t it? You ' ve done a lot of things since then. You ' ve changed so gradually that you don ' t realize it, probably. You ' ve become a vital part of our organized campus life — you ivere an outsider. But when you enrolled last September, you automatically became a stu- dent at Madison College, an interested par- ticipator in its fine major organizations: Stu- ■■■ ' dent Government, with its Social and Standards Committees; the Y. W. C. A.; the Athletic Association; the Breeze and The Schoolma ' am. Through your activities in these or- ganizations, you fitted yourself har- moniously into the scheme of campus life. For example, the Student Hand- book, edited each year under the di- rection of the Student Government Association, was sent to each new stu- dent to acquaint her with the college regulations and to pass on miscellane- ous and helpful hints. Louise Prilchard. Anna Jane Pence, Dot Nover, Kitty White Behind the motto of our STU- DENT GOVERNMENT ASSO- CIATION — Democracy is something Dorothy Nover President of the Student Government As- sociation deeper than liberty; it is responsibility — there lies a deep thought. With this thought as our ultimate goal, and with the guidance of the officers of the Asso- ciation and a Student Council com- posed of representatives of each class, our Student Government has been able to create and maintain a spirit of co- operation between faculty and students, to promote personal honor, and to en- courage individual responsibility and self-reliance. Training classes, taught by old stu- dents, were held the first few weeks in October for the purpose of explaining the Handbook to the freshmen. One of the first activities sponsored by the Student Government Association was the picnic for new students the first week of school. It was here that the freshmen made their debut before the student body and start- ed getting into the swing of campus life. In October there was the Old Girl-New Girl Wedding, symbolizing the union of old and new students till graduation doth us part and emphasizing the importance of working together. Upper classmen, posted in strategic positions on Alumnae steps, view- ed the new girls with an eye for beauty. Looking deeper than the tear-covered sur- faces of the faces of these new students, the old girls picked the bride and the brides- maids of the wedding party from the fresh- man class. The president of the senior class was the groom, and the grooms- men were members of the stu- dent council. The wedding knot was tied by the president of the student government. After the ceremony, the bride and groom left for a short motor trip around the quadrangle. A little later in the fall, there was a tea in Alumnae Hall for the new students. Here they had the opportunity to meet per- sonally the student government officers and the members of the Student Council. In February the student elec- tions were held. The nominees for the five major offices had been named as candidates by a nominating convention com- posed of the five major officers then serving and representatives from each class. The newly elected Student Govern- ment officers were installed at a special ser- vice in March. The Student Council is a very potent and influential part of the Student Government Association. Problems and irregularities in conduct are handled swiftly and adeptly by this council. Its members serve as jury at our trials. Remember getting campused two weeks for singing in the bath tub, cram- ming after lights, and leaving your window open during fire drill?

All those who work in the YOUNG WOMEN ' S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIA- TION take great pleasure in planning for its many activities, which began this year with the pre-school camp retreat. The tra- ditional welcoming of new students, the Big- Sister-Little Sister Party, the candle light service, the work with the Children ' s Home and Hospital, the bulletin board, the food and clothing drives, the Christmas pageant, and the kid party all offered new opportu- nities. Regular and exchange programs and special sunrise services brought helpful mes- sages to all those who would hear. Our new room, furnished and decorated by the cabi- net, housed not only cabinet meetings but also discussion groups. During the winter, Y. W. sponsored a March of Dimes as a part of the Infantile Paralysis Drive, with abundant returns. At the same time it was difficult to keep every- one supplied with materials for knitting sweaters and scarfs for the bundles for Britain. We sponsored a Religious Emphasis Week in February as an attempt to unify our work into the theme of Practicing the Pres- ence of God. Mr. Paul Deering and Dr. Bodein conducted two services and a chapel program, while Mrs. Gibbons led a fruitful discussion group on the biographers of Christ. To climax the week, a church service was conducted in Wilson by Mr. William Smith of the University of Virginia. First rou: Kathryn Walker. Bernice Baybutt.

Were you warned that shorts and slacks were not appropriate dress for campus? Were you asked to hang your coat up on a hook instead of leaving it in a heap in the lobby of Harrison? Did anyone ask you not to sit on the grass with a date? Were you scared when you were caught cutting campus? How about the noise you made? All of these may have been among your most unpleasant memories of college, but the STANDARDS COMMITTEE was on duty! This committee, composed of Marion Lawrence, chairman, and nine members ap- pointed by the President of Student Gov- ernment and the Dean of Women, is really a versatile group. They do everything from aiding in the maintenance of proper stand- ards of dress, conduct, and social activities on campus to assisting the Social Committee in servin g.

The season was opened with a sports car- nival for the entertainment of the freshmen. During the fall the council sponsored class hockey, climaxed by the odd-even hockey game. Basketball season opened with the old girl-new girl game, which was followed by class games for intra-mural competition. Then the varsity season arrived, and the council sponsored a freshman team. Following its theme, a sport for every- one, the council offered intra-mural com- petition in badminton, volley ball, baseball, and swimming — which ended with a water pageant. The Riding Club sponsored its first horse show in the spring, while the Porpoise Club continued with its swimming program. The Fencing Club continued to expand, and a be- Marjorie Pitts, President gmners ' class in fencing was organized. Spring brought the tennis tournament, and additional tennis courts were built. Bowling alleys were constructed, which initiated an- other popular sport on campus. Scheduled practices were organized in both indoor and outdoor archery. The council sponsored our assembly pro- gram April thirtieth, which was followed by their main activity of the year, May Day, held May tenth, shortly after the traditional tapping ceremony.

The score of the William and Mary game was 23-21 in our favor. At the very last, Farmville won over us, 32 to 19. Led by Captain Marie Sesze, the team successfully overcame the difficulty of mak- ing a winning team from inexperienced material. I u [ Madison Shoots Another Basket in the Radford Game on February 21 [49] ATHLETICS Just because you aren ' t a whiz at basket- ball or have never known the rules of hockey, don ' t feel as if there isn ' t a sport for you. Take your pick from among the minor sports sponsored by the Athletic Association : bad- minton, volley ball, tennis, swimming and many others. If ' tis grace and poise which you seek, then fencing is the game for you. Under the guidance of Mr. Ernest Sovereign, this grace- ful sport was enjoyed by many girls on the campus. Another ladies ' sport is riding, which has advanced this year so well that a horse show, the first in the history of the school, was staged, and a sport leader was elected for the first time to represent this ever-increasing popular sport on the Athletic Council. The riding club, known as the Bit and Bridle Club, added many new members because of the increasing interest in riding.

Besides the swimming club, each class had a swimming team, and there was Spring took us to the bridle paths . . . To the tennis courts And to the baseball diamond intramural competition between the classes. With the first hint of spring, the tennis courts were buzzing with active girls getting their backhand down pat for the spring tournament, which was to revive an old cus- tom at Madison. For those girls who have a natural lust for the grand old American sport of baseball, there were class games in this sport. Bows and arrows were taken outdoors, although indoor targets were purchased this year for use before spring. The A. A. does truly follow its theme of a sport for every- one. How healthily their feet upon the floor Strike down!- — these are no spirits, but a band Of dancers, surely, leaping hand in hand Into the air, in groups of threes and fours. ' — Edna St. Vincent Millay The MODERN DANCE GROUP began its third year on campus with extensive tryouts for a limited number of apprentice members. The chosen few immediately joined the older members in the learning of dances to be used in the annual program. This program was presented at the beginning of the spring quarter and depicted the growth of the American dance from an Indian tribal ceremony to the present modern dance. Following this performance, energies were turned to long hours of practice for May Day. The group, under the direction of Miss Covington, has made excellent progress as a new division of the Athletic Association and promises to become one of the outstanding organizations on campus.

What is more, the potential members were good — so good that about fifty girls were taken in, and it was unnecessary to have the usual beginners ' group within the club. The girls were put into two classes, inter- mediate and advanced. Having no beginners to work with enabled Betty Sanford, presi- dent, to start the girls on a program of more technical swimming and water polo.

[53] Sophomores, the glass of 1943 The largest freshman class ever to enroll at Madison continued its all-time record by becoming the largest sophomore class in the his- tory of the college, which is shown in their taking over one of the freshman dormitories to shelter them. After welcoming the freshmen and realizing that that title no longer belonged to them, the soph- omores calmed down to the serious business of helping to gown their big - sisters, the seniors, on their class day in November.

Be it art, music, drama, modern languages, education, scholarship, science, or creative writing, Madison has clubs for everyone. The day students have their organization, and the would-be diplomats express their opinions in the International Relations Club. A jabber of voices announces a combined meeting of Alpha Rho Delta and the French and Spanish Clubs. Frances Sale, Clara Barton, the A. C. E., and Curie Science Clubs offer opportunities for those in pursuit of extra knowledge, while Sigma Phi Lamb- da rewards the underclassmen who went to the library rather than to the movies. Even the agriculturists have their chance in the Rural Life Club and the Garden Club. If you can ' t act, there ' s always the make- up division of the Stratford Dramatic Club, or the staging crew. All musically inclined students find that one of the five musical or- ganizations just suits them. The really good journalists find a place in the exclusive Scrib- blers ' Club. 62] %y - Maybe when classes were over you preferred to sit back, relax, and take life easy. In that case, there were enter- tainments ranging from two perform- ances by the Chekhov Theatre Players to a concert by the Harvard Glee Club in the spring. Lyceum numbers also in- cluded the Virginia Concert Artists and the National Symphony Orchestra. The Christmas Cantata by the Y. W. C. A., concerts by our own Glee Club, and several productions by the Dra- matic Club completed a well-rounded season. Margaret Baylor.

The audience watches the house lights as they dim and the curtains as they separate to re- veal a story being enacted. The plot unfolds smoothly, reaches its climax, [64] and closes with the enthusiastic applause of the audience. Now that the auditorium is empty- ing, is the play over? Not for the cast and the production staff. The actors run down to take off their grease paint under the supervision of Kathleen Rhea, make-up mistress. Nancy Bailey and her crew begin to strike down the set, while Alice (Props) Tucker sal- vages the coffee table, ash trays, and Derby hat. Electrician Jeannette Fur- man looks to her spot lights and switch- board. Alice Clarke, business manager, counts the evening ' s proceeds. Mar- garet Baylor, president, and Dr. Argus Tresidder, director, chalk up another Stratford success. To the audience it was just an eve- ning ' s entertainment. To the cast and production staff it represented six weeks or more of hard, steady working. The actors, prompters, and director were re- quired to spend three or four evenings a week in rehearsal. The staging crew had to construct the flats, paint them, and build them into the setting. Fur- niture had to be acquired by the prop- erty girls, as well as the smaller articles needed on the stage. It was neces- sary to work out the lighting arrange- ments as carefully as the lines. The make-up girls planned and studied in order to make school- girls look like grandmothers or sirens. So much toward the play ' s artistic success — the busi- ness staff looked to the financial. All ' s Well That Ends, by Dr. Leland Schubert, star- ring the author as the crack- brained inventor, Toby, was Stratford ' s fall production. Outstanding performances were given by three freshmen, Jo Anderson, Jean Barnes, and Sunny Trumbo, while upper classmen played satisfactorily the parts of three old maids. Exceptionally successful was What a Life! a high-school comedy by Clif- ford Goldsmith, presented in March. Top honors in this went to Tommy Brock, a Harrisonburg boy, for a first- rate characterization of Henry Ald- rich. Mr. Ernest Wilton, as principal, Mr. Bradley, and Dr. H. G. Pickett, as Detective Furgenson, were, as al- ways, beyond reproach. Among the students in it, Jo Anderson, Winnie Mauck, and Eleanor Pincus deserve special commendation. The final production of Stratford Dramatic Club for the year was the commencement play, presented during graduation week.

During the fall quarter we went in customary formal attire to the Humphrey-Weidman Bal- let. We laughed at Dr. Schubert in his play, All ' s Well That Ends. There was the snowy December day that ushered in the Y. W. Christmas Pageant. Remember Cricket on the Hearth ? Heads popping in and out of dishes on the wall? The Virginia Artists? And the Harvard Glee Club, and the National Symphony this spring? [66] Good music, responsibilities shared, hard work, and fun — that ' s what GLEE CLUB means to its members. There ' s the routine of thrice-a-week, and in-between, rehearsals in the music room in Harrison Hall, and chapel services twice a week. Then there are the little things to remember and cherish — har- monizing in the lobby while waiting for re- hearsal time — singing on the long bus trips — Mrs. Dingledine ' s famous and always pres- ent brownies, and Miss Shaeffer ' s equally good ham biscuits to eat when traveling — re- membering the rule of no hair ribbons or socks on chapel days — and the shivers that go up your spine while sitting on the cold, airy stage as some long - winded speaker winds up and then talks on, and on, and on. And the not-so-little things, the big ones which the girls labored to make successful.

The next program was a vesper service at the Presbyterian church in Har- risonburg the last of February. Almost immediately afterward, when the old grads came back to visit their Alma Mater during Homecoming, the ever-willing Glee Club bade them welcome by singing at their luncheon, bringing to some perhaps memories of their own Glee Club experi- ence. With spring came trips to various places in Virginia, and to our own cam- pus came Harvard ' s Glee Club to give a joint concert with our own girls. Quickly afterwards came May Day and then Commencement, with the Glee Club an essential element of both. Thus ends a year full of work and play, music, and excitement for Glee Club members. But more than these simple events will remain in the girls ' memories. They will always remember Glee Club loyalty and devotion to an ideal, a high set of standards and cooperation and sub- ordination of personal wishes in an effort to create beautiful music and to serve the college.

This was also the Choral Club ' s initial appearance of the year. In December we journeyed via the school bus to Singers Glen to present a program of Christmas music. Who among us will forget that trip? On the way back the bus sudden- ly stopped — as school busses have a way of doing. Everyone, thinking we had a flat tire, took it as a huge joke. A few of us, however, were prepared for the big surprise when Miss Michaels, our sponsor and direc- tor, brought out ice cream and doughnuts as a rare treat for an unexpected Christmas party. Februar y 23 was another time that we won ' t forget in a hurry. When we sang at Antioch for the Young People ' s department at that time, we were all feeling more sober than usual for some reason. Then Miss Michaels rose to lead us in another group of songs. As she stepped up on the box from which she directed us, her foot slipped, and off she fell. Maybe it was impolite of us to laugh the way we did, but at least it put us all in good spirits, and we never sang better. Besides these memorable trips we have also sung in various churches in Harrisonburg during the year, and in the spring we pre- sented our program in Chapel. [TO] Did you ever realize that we had so many singers in the Freshman class? Neither did we until we called for a meeting of those who wanted to be in the FRESHMAN CHORUS. So many turned out that we had to form two groups. They met once a felt mighty proud of them sometimes. The two choruses, singing together, took part in several of our activities for the year. At Christmas they formed the musical back- ground for the Y. W. C. A. program, with the singing of several very beautiful carols. First row: Rose Mary Waddell, Mildred Sta;on Second row : Virginia Carrington, Olive Butler, Ellen Katz, Ellen England, Betsy Katz, Marie Suttle, Nancy Rowe, Betty Van Arsdale, Peggy Malpas, Frances Wade Third row: Maggie Wood Brett, Mattie Guthrie, Ann Guthrie, Katherine Stokes, Annie Holmes, Edna Holmes, Gladys Pearson, Nancy Smith, Wilda Comer Fourth row : Marie Clark, Patricia Parent, Edith Mayhew, Ruth Martin, Estelle Saunders, Sue Allen, Margaret Goodwin, Emma Jane Rogers, Nancy Crockett, Margaret Shaeffer Fifth row : Linda Malcolm, Audrey Malcolm, Virginia Hagan, Helen Peck, Lois Nicholson, Nancy Tuck, Doris Kline, Lulie P.

These two groups really put in some honest work at their weekly rehearsals. Their directors, Margaret Schuler and Katherine Walker, with Edith Snidow at the piano, Then later, in the spring, they sang as a combined chorus in several other programs here on our campus. Heading the list of officers for the two sections are the two presidents : of the Tues- day section, Mildred Staton, and of the Thursday section, Lois Nicholson.

The organization plays light symphonic and semi-classical music, striving to maintain its purpose of upholding the highest stand- ards of interest and achievement in orchestral work and, at the same time, of creating a better understanding for these types of music among the students and faculty on our cam- pus. Its contribution to our college life has been one of steady value and real pleasure. The orchestra rehearses three times a week in the recording studio. In addition to playing for assembly each Wednesday and Friday, the orchestra gives concerts at schools throughout the state of Virginia. Among the places where the or- chestra has appeared are : Haymarket, Ma- nassas, Occoquan, Dumfries, and Nokes- ville. They also played for the Alumnae banquet during Homecoming week and for Commencement. The most outstanding pro- gram was the formal concert given in Wilson Hall early in May. Their program for these concerts included works from well - known composers, such as Wagner, Tschaikowsky, Strauss, Gould, Romberg, and Victor Her- bert. [72] AEOLIAN represents good music first, last, and always. As an honorary organiza- tion, its members stand for the best in mu- sicianship, being selected after a successful tryout and a recommendation by some mem- ber of the college faculty. The major project of the year was a con- test for words and music of a new school song. The contest closed in November, and was always present during teas and formal dinners? Or did it become so much a part of the background that it wasn ' t noticeable? Aeolian was responsible for that, too. Meetings in the recital room varied from listening to beautiful music and having seri- ous discussions of current musical events and musicians in history to just plain discussions of ' most anything. First row: Edith Snidow, Kathryn Walker, Jean Birchall Second rott : Emma Joyce Johncox, Evelyn Kuhnert, Dai Margar Bad? ron : Mary McKay, Margaret Sherman, Jennetle Wade, Martha Beth Newcomb, Mary Davidson Second rott : Emma Joyce Johncox, Evelyn Kuhnert, Daisy Mae Park, Elizabeth Willis, Mary Jane Dingledine, Margaret Schuler this spring the result was announced. We hope it will soon be a real part of our college lives. For chapel program Mrs. Joseph F. Schneider talked to us about Czech music. Her charming accent and interesting odd bits of information caught everyone ' s interest. But Richard Marshall, the club ' s tiny mascot, almost stole the show. Remember the soft, incidental music that Members will not forget the Rose Song of initiation and the awed silence in the room — the shaky knees at tryouts and the dread of their possibly asking questions about such minor details as scales (the majors, too, of course) — and the relieved feeling when the other girl who plays with you at dinner finally came, for you ' d been wondering whether you were going to be able to eat, after all. [73] SIGMA PHI LAMBDA, the junior honor society for those freshmen with an A average for their first quarter and for all freshmen and sophomores with a B average on all past work, has had a very successful year under the capable leadership of Marion Watkins, president. Scholarship, leadership, and fellowship are the standards of the or- ganization, and these were the basis of the interest and work focused on their achieve- ment. E. L. Fox, of the faculty of Randolph- Macon College, Ashland, Virginia, who spoke to the student body on Make Be- l neve. You remember that last November Kappa Delta Pi, national honor society, invited members of Sigma Phi Lambda to hear Miss Helen Frank, registrar of the college, talk to the two groups on New College, Co- lumbia University.

The group was fortu- nate in having Mr. Robert E. Slaughter of the business department speak to them on Scholarship and its Importance to Us and to Society. Margaret Moore, last year ' s president, appeared before the organization at one of its meetings and spoke on the aims of Sigma Phi Lambda and its plans. The club presented a chapel program in February, at which time they introduced Dr. Pi when they sponsored a campus drive for the local British Relief Fund for a Mobile Canteen, in February. Members of the two clubs canvassed the dormitories in their sale of tickets to an informal dance that climaxed the drive. This was one of the outstanding accomplishments of the club for the year. Members of Sigma Phi Lambda also en- joyed the informality of several social meet- ings during the year, when they had oppor- tunities to get acquainted. [74] All for art ' s sake, THE ART CLUB members made us collegiennes paint-box-con- scious this year when they sponsored the Miss Madison contest to see who most skillfully wielded the lipstick and powder puff. Jean Bell, a natural beauty if ever there were one, walked off with the honors and is now the recipient of the cup presented to her, which she will retain until next year to present to the ' 41 - ' 42 model of Millie Madison. As in previous years, the club made post- ers for the Glee Club, Dramatic Club, and other organizations, and helped with class- day decorations; and individual members amateur commercial art work. This work is done in addition to the specific projects se- lected by the club for their year ' s attention. During the winter months the members applied themselves to the study and sketch- ing of the human figure, but when spring came, they gathered up their palettes and other artistic paraphernalia and dashed off to camp, where for one long week-end they sketched the surrounding landscapes. They were accompanied by their sponsors, Miss Aiken, Miss Palmer, and Miss Davis. This year ' s Art Club members followed the tradition, set by many Madison clubs for Front ron : Marilee Henkel, Carmen Nin, Rebecca Craig Second roiv: Rose Mon- tagne, Barbara Gay Third rov : Annie Francis, Billie Liggett, Lois John- ston, Jean Carpenter, Ida Richardson, Genevieve Ba- ker, Ruth Jones, Suzannah Smith, Kitty Moltz helped to design place cards and to plan dance decorations. They also sponsored the advertising of various British War Relief activities which were of campus interest. You see, the Art Club offers its services wher- ever and whenever they are requested on campus. There are many opportunities for many years, of donning their new spring bon- nets, dresses, and trimmings, and sauntering down town to a club dinner. The dimmed lights, tinkling iced tea, delicious hot biscuits, and individual service made it quite an oc- casion and opportunity for the members and their sponsors to get better acquainted. [75] This year in a war-torn world, upset by crises in both oceans, every student has felt the necessity of being well in- formed — barring censorship, propagan- da, and fifth columnists — on the position of our own country and the outcome of the conflicts between the countries in the eastern hemisphere. THE INTERNATIONAL RE- LATIONS CLUB, an organization Through the book exchange service of the Carnegie Foundation, the Inter- national Relations Club placed more than seventy-five volumes on current world affairs in the Browsing Room of the library this year. These books were shelved in a group and were circulated as were the other books in the Brows- ing Room, for the use of other students as well as for members of the club. i$ 2 ¥ ' mJ 3 : i fe IkJt I Ml Jy -Xji 1 Jmi w htw m t : l y BU V t - ' 3 jjgj BV B — I 2A First ron : Nellie Williams, Gladys Maupin, Anne Hardesly.

The local club presented to the Madison Memorial Library during the fall quarter two military commissions signed by President James Madison, to be added to the document collection there. [76] THE ASSOCIATION FOR CHILD- HOOD EDUCATION is a branch of the national organization of that name, thus offering contact with national and world or- ganizations interested in this subject. It is open to all students and instructors who are interested in the study of children and their education. Meetings were held twice a month, and the programs were built around the theme, Equipment and Activities in the School- room. The student - members were divided into various groups according to their interests, the groups being Music, Dramatics, Story- telling, Art, and Science. Each group was held responsible for presenting a program In the spring, boxes were placed in each dormitory to collect school supplies for the rural schools. A visiting committee was appointed to in- terview the county supervisors, to arrange for observations in the county schools for those members interested. This was to acquaint the members with actual school conditions. Also in the spring, the club presented a chapel program with some of the Main Street School children participating. As entertainment, a Hallowe ' en party was given to honor the new members; and a pic- nic at Riven Rock added to the spring fes- tivities.

The club is organized in such a way as to carry on the work that the clubs had been doing in high school. The activ- ities are based on the individual ' s interest. The meetings are held semi-monthly on the second and fourth Monday evenings. This year the club was under the leader- ship of Miss Ambrosia Noetzel. The year ' s efforts have featured handicraft work and party planning. Most of the handicraft con- sisted of embroidery of different types, weav- ing, making dolls and stuffed animals, knit- ting, and crocheting. Different party books were made for future use. Each book was made on a dif- ferent kind of game — such as outdoor, mys- tery, guessing, and get-acquainted stunts, and unusual games. A book was also made of interesting invitations and decorations for parties. The last meeting before Christmas was given over to a party. Many amusing games were introduced, and entertainment was add- ed by having a grab bag. The club has worked with the Home Demonstration Agent of Rockingham Coun- ty, and the 4-H members have given demon- strations on their activities. This club in turn visited and assisted them in their club work. Members of the Rural Life Club have gone out into the county and helped judge the correct-dress contests sponsored by different 4-H clubs. The ckib received visits and suggestions at different times from Dr. Ellis Kirkpatrick, the field secretary of the American Youth Commission of American Country Life. This club is a member of the National Rural Life Association. The last national meeting was held at Perdue, Indiana. [78] If, on a spring morning, along about six o ' clock, you had been rudely enough awakened by the sun staring you in the face to cause you to dash to the window and yank down the shade, you might between yanks have noticed some girls dressed in old clothes and coming out of the dormitory. They weren ' t run- ning away from the stone walls that do not a prison make; they were merely members of the DOLLY MADISON GARDEN CLUB, going out to work with shears or hoe. garden club made a careful and thor- ough study of different plants an d their correspondingly different soil require- ments, of home decoration through the medium of flowers, of Japanese flower gardens, of effective flower arrange- ments, and of famous Virginia gardens. Colored slides were available for much of this activity. This two-phased pro- gram rounded out the work done by the club this year.

[79] THE FRANCES SALE CLUB has on its roll some of the busiest girls on the campus, the home economics students who have good scholastic ratings. The club is named for Miss Frances Sale, the first home economics teacher at Harrison- burg. We devoted a whole meeting to the study of Miss Sale ' s life last fall. It taught us a great deal about the home economics field and how it has grown in the last thirty years. Did you know that the first kitchen help needy students prepare for the work. Some of the Frances Sale members are marching out into the world this June or will go out in the Junes to come as teachers, di- etitians, commercial demonstrators, home demonstration agents, costume designers, in- terior decorators, and scientific housewives. We of the Frances Sale Club have always felt much closer to the home economics fac- ulty members since the programs devoted to interviews with these fascinating and charm- First row. Inez Harris.

They couldn ' t have pie for dinner in those days because there wasn ' t room enough to spread them out to cool. Just think, we fussed because it wasn ' t a la mode this year. Today the home economics girls have a much wider field than in the days when Madison College was very young, and last vear a Frances Sale Loan was established to ing women. Miss Julia Robertson, one of the faculty, was our sponsor and did much to make our club successful. Didn ' t we have fun making those cute little gingham dachshunds and other stuffed toys for the Harrisonburg Department of Public Welfare to use in playing Santa Claus to needy children? The home economics department was re- sponsible for the beneficial interviews and [80] lectures that Rose Laird and Mrs. Longdon gave. Did you notice the Hollywood figures and radiant skins that popped up on campus shortly afterwards? Good-looking clothes, too! The Frances Sale girls learn not only to sew, but what to sew. They asked the Mc- Call Fashion Director to come and tell the entire campus what was new and stylish in everything from rubber boots to evening wraps. It was a banquet night — soft lights and sweet music transformed our dining halls into scenes featuring lovely banquet tables and girls in pretty evening clothes. The de- licious food and excellent service were the results of the planning and supervision of Frances Sale girls who were studying Insti- tutional Management under Miss Turner. The home economics girls in the tea room managed pleasant- ly to keep the campus sleepy heads from starving on Sunday mornings. The girls learning institutional management got up bright and early every morning to supply demands in the tea room. Nellie Williams was a good president, wasn ' t she, girls? Her twinkling brown eyes and quick smile always put life into our meetings. We couldn ' t have picked a better leader. As vice- president, Marjorie McKnight was always Nellie ' s able assis- tant. Anne Hardesty wrote the minutes of our meetings and made additions to the roll after we took in new members each quarter. Lucille Webb took time out from dietetics to keep our money for us. Katie Letterman, as reporter, kept us in the papers, while Christine Minnix kept us enter- tained; she was a good program chairman. Mary Theresa Thaxton supplied the food and other attractive elements for social oc- casions, being the chairman of the social committee. Altogether, we had fun during each of the three quarters and, as members of the Frances Sale Club, we shall always consider this past year as the best yet. OFFICERS Marjorie McKnight, Nellie Williams, Katie Letterman, Mary Theresa Thaxton, Christine Minnix, Lucille Webb [81] A few years ago, the students inter- ested in the various fields of medicine organized a club under the sponsorship of Doctor Weems and Miss Waples. They named it for Clara Barton, foun- der of the American Red Cross, who did so much work in this field. This club has become already well established on campus, although it is many topics, including blood transfu- sions, appendectomy, and cancer. At one meeting a student nurse told about the ordinary day of a nurse in training. This spring a trip to Richmond was taken, where the club made a tour through the new Medical College of Virginia Hospital to study this institu- tion and observe the nurses in perform- First rov : Julia Childress, Gertrude Messier.

The membership is made up of those who plan to become nurses and technicians, and most of the girls are freshmen and sophomores. At the bi-monthly meetings, frequent- ly people in the medical field addressed the club. This year Doctor Langsam and Doctor Wright of the Rockingham Hospital, as well as others, spoke on ance of their duties. The activities of the club were di- rected by Betty Gohl, president; Hope Watkins, vice-president; India Ogburn, secretary-treasurer; and Anne Murray, Program Committee chairman. This completed the year ' s activities of our CLARA BARTON CLUB. [82] Science is the fundamental which binds these girls together as a creative club. Some prefer glaring through the microscope at an amoeba, hydra, or Polysiphonia fibrillosa; some would delve into the mysteries and dis- asters of the chemical laboratory, conquering the unknown ; some even like to cut up monkeys. There are others who spend their time in any one of the four dark rooms in the basement of Johnston Hall, developing films, printing, and enlarging. Some take ra- dios apart, to see what makes them crow; while others are happy with their sleeves rolled up, a smudge of powder on their noses (baking powder), mixing batters in the ex- perimental cookery laboratory. Their motto, On With Science, was upheld through their open forum discussions, their talks, their movies, and their attendance at the Virginia Academy of Science meetings in the spring of the year. This year the meeting was conducted in Richmond, Vir- ginia. THE CURIE SCIENCE CLUB was organized on our campus in November, 1934, through the initiative of students whose interests were especially scientific. Its pur- pose is to establish firmly, and maintain, an interest in science and scientific research, in all its branches, to cooperate with educa- tional institutions and the Virginia Academy of Science in fostering an interest in scientific matters, to provide a forum for the presen- tation and discussion of papers on scientific subjects, and to provide opportunities for cooperation and fellowship among its mem- bers. The requirements necessary for member- ship call for either a major or a minor in science and enrollment as a junior member of the Virginia Academy of Science. As each member enters the club, she offers some contribution in the field of science. This may be in the form of a paper or an oral account of some original investigation she may be doing.

The aim of the club is to stimulate an interest in the classics, both among its members and among the entire student body. The Roman Classics not satisfying our need for humor, Mrs. Sawhill entertained the club with a talk on Jokes as a Hobby. The latest addition to her collection was this notation: Dr. Sawhill arrived in South Carolina a week early for the Classical So- ciety. The club members deduced that this was our sponsor ' s spectacular way of setting for us the shining example of punctuality. The annual Alpha Rho Delta picnic was one of the highlights of the year. Arriving at Riven Rock, the new arena, the club mem- bers substituted a far more delightful activity for the gladiatorial combats. This was in the form of a feast at which they supped on ambrosia (alias hot dogs ) and nectar of the gods (punch). A model of a Roman house, containing about twenty-five rooms, has been in progress — in the annual — for the last five years. This year the Alpha Rho Delphians really fin- ished the job to the last brush of paint. The Romans surely must have had an eye for color. The rooms are very bright, their hues ranging from screeching red to pale violet. In the houses of the ancient Romans there were certain storerooms with walls of either gray or tan. The Latin students, in an ear- nest endeavor to add at least one expression of individuality, painted such a room with two walls of gray and two of tan. Now that the Roman house has really been completed, it is being left for the successive Latin classes to remodel as the Roman styles of architec- ture advance. [84] THE FRENCH CIRCLE is con- cerned with arousing interest in French and knowledge of France and the French people. At the meetings, which were held bi-monthly, games were played and songs were sung in French. Often news- paper articles about France were the topics of discussions. Conditions in Present-Day France was the subject of an unusual program presented by Miss Mary Armentrout, a member of the Social Science Department, in No- vember, after the fall of France. Earlier translation of French verses to be used as descriptions for a group of animal pictures collected by the Art Depart- ment.

While on cam- pus, they were entertained at a luncheon in Blue-Stone dining hall and later at a movie in Wilson auditorium. [ S3 ] Just last year, an inspiration descend- ed upon the heads of some usually normal students; so they went into a huddle, muttered queer, unintelligible syllables, and came forth with a con- stitution for a SPANISH CLUB, sponsored by that Spaniard of Span- iards, Dr. Fernando Q. Martinez. Hola, sez they; and Hello right back, sez we to our latest blessed event, El Club Espanol. Of course the club presented a few requirements for membership, such as being a second- year Spanish student, having completed Last year, Madelon Jessee led these future linguists forward as their first president. Following her in ' 40 and ' 41, Julia Kilpatrick took them over until spring, when she handed the gavel to Virginia Mcllhany. Other officers this year were Audrey Ott, Barbara Till- son, Genevieve Baker, Eleanor Nolte, Boyden Brooks, and Alice Griffith. The members have great plans for the future. One of the first things on the list is that of making Madison Span- ish-conscious.

By keeping in close touch with the local church and its numerous activities, the stu- dents are better able to find their places in their home churches. We feel that the stu- dents in college need to grow spiritually as well as mentally. We began this year ' s work with a Fall Retreat at Massanetta Springs. At this time, with much enthusiasm, we planned our work for the year, in hopes of attaining First Mag- nitude, which is the highest honor that can be received. Our first function, when we returned to school, was visiting all the Baptist students, both new and old, giving welcome cards to each. Under the guidance of our most capable president, Margaret Carter, the Council has worked faithfully and long to promote inter- est among the Baptist girls on campus. We sent ten delegates to the State Baptist Student Convention in Farmville, where these girls were outstandingly recognized ; and two, Eunice Hobgood and Lucille Cooke, were elected as state officers. The Reverend William Fallis, our state secretary, and Miss Mary Nance Daniels, our Southwide leader, visited the campus for several days, holding conferences and advis- ing us in our work. They brought with them, and presented to the student body, a movie showing scenes of the activities at last sum- mer ' s Ridgecrest assembly, held near Ashe- ville, North Carolina. Next fall we will be hostesses to the State Convention. There will be a large number of guests and many outstanding speakers. Miss Sibyl Shover, our student leader from the local church, has been a great in- spiration and encouragement to us, and has led us in maintaining our high standards of regular church attendance.

The magic word from Arabian Nights has carried down into the twentieth century to open the doors of Mad- ison College life to the day students, through the SESAME CLUB. The ' 40 freshmen wandered dazedly into the two rooms in the basement of Harrison for the first time, just as dozens of freshman classes have done before them. We smiled a little, because we knew from experience just how they felt. The smile became broader and one of enjoyment as we saw these same bewildered little sisters relax and find place for themselves in our club. It is really an open club, and the one require- ment is that the member be a day student. This club often furnishes the only extra- curricular activity in which the day student may indulge, so it is our aim to make the club one of broad interests and various activities. We make annual affairs of our luncheon, Christmas party, tea, camping trip, and pic- nic. However, our social life didn ' t end there. Imagine having forty-six roommates! Unfortunately (or fortunately) we don ' t all come in the same size, so we don ' t each have forty-seven wardrobes, but we do each have forty-six friends to share our fortunes and misfortunes, for you can not live from nine to twelve hours out of every twenty-four with the same people and not take them into your life. We give the credit of our close-knit, co- operative club to the fact that we worked and planned together, not only at our monthly meetings, but in every bull-session that we held all year. Well, you know where and how we live at college. If you are waiting at the P. O. sometime for a letter from him, drop in to visit us. [88] SCRIBBLERS CLUB k i =?. u % C. X.

Mr. Dingledine had been big brother and friend to the Juniors these three years. Included among the many items on the Junior Class social calendar was that of playing hostess to the Westhampton hockey team when it arrived early in the fall. The visiting players spent the week-end in Junior Hall and were enter- tained after the game.

Remember those two days of torture when you got up before daylight and went over to drag someone out of bed and then received no thanks but a grouchy, Get out of here ? You became so practiced at making beds and cleaning rooms that you considered quitting school and applying for a maid ' s job. It was a silly feeling, wasn ' t it, when you and the other goats had to sing the notices on the bulletin board and finish off your lunch with a spring dance across campus? You tried so hard to do as you were told, but it was just too much when they made you rub that grease on your face at initiation. When it was all over, you said you were never going to be mean to the goats, but the very next quarter I saw you making one carry your books from the post office to Reed, when her class was in Maury. Those were your first impressions of the dance clubs and literary societies but, for- tunately, they weren ' t the only ones. . . . p 1 w 1 . . j : 1 i •  mMKK- V V Didn ' t THE GERMAN CLUB and its guests have a wonderful time at the Ger- man Mid- winters? Bubbles Becker and his orchestra really did beat out the rhythm. The gym was beautifully decorated, and that blue ceiling sprinkled with silver stars was something to be proud of. Don ' t you think we weren ' t! Marion Lawrence, presi- dent, with J. H. Boyd, Jr., made a lovely picture breaking through the cellophane star to start the figure. They, ably assisted by Dorothy Coun- cill, vice-president, with Jack Beale, led the club mem- bers and their dates M anon Lawieni through the figure to form a star. One of the surprises of the evening was that we actually did form a star; the other surprise was that the ceiling stayed up. We were really rewarded for all the work and worry- ing done before the dance. We are grateful to our sponsors for the help, advice, and friendship they have given us thru- h 9 A out the entire year. Dr. and Mrs. Duke, Dr. and Mrs. Pittman, and Mr. and Mrs. Slaughter are model sponsors and are the very best any organiza- tion could have. We were proud to have them with us at our banquet held in the spring. This ban- quet, honoring the newly elected offi- cers, was a mem- orable occasion. The German Club, joining the Cotillion Club, sponsored the final dance for the sen- iors and graduating sophomores. There were two features about this dance that impressed everyone. First, it was the final dance of the school year at our alma mater, and sec- ond, it lasted until 2 a. m., instead of the traditional 1 1 :50 p. m. It is our sincere wish that the future years of the German club may be as successful as the past one.

Emphasizing the setting even more, the event fell on George Wash- ington ' s Birthday. Shall we ever forget? — the many cases of heart fail- ure produced by the false ceiling falling twice during the process of decora- tion — or the faith- ful workmen bal- ancing nonchalantly on thin rafters — or borrowing the life- saver from the pool, to better deck out the bandstand in true ship style — or haunting the gym till the wee early hours decorating, knowing all the while that the all- important day would show us to be Judy Vinyard, President hags from lack of sleep — or those first figure- practices — and the elation when all final results culminated in far greater success than we had dreamed of! Barry McKinley, maestro of the band, was right there on the vocals, and Ray O ' Connor proved what a man plus a sax can do. Tea- dance music was broadcast over WSVA. Other Cotillion activities this year included a break- fast at the Kava- naugh in the fall, and the annual din- ner there in the spring. The club also sponsored that rare old girls only dancing in the gym each Saturday night. Newest rec- ords, to say nothing of latest dance steps, were fea- tured. And by no means least was the memorable snow battle and tug-o ' -war with the German Club — while Dr. Pittman stood on the sidelines, away from the scene of fire, and took pic- tures of the club members in all their glory — with wet hair and snow in their mouths!

Startling news, isn ' t it? What on earth can you do? How about a report on that best-seller you read last summer? M-m-m, sounds all right. Let ' s see, what was the name of the author? For that matter. what was the title of the book? Oh, well, it wasn ' t very interesting, anyhow. So, when Friday night came around, you read some- body ' s poem about something, and there- after the weekly program was the worry of the Program Chairman. On Friday evenings after dinner you took [ 104] E2j: your Breeze and climbed to the fourth floor of Wilson. If you had a date, or four floors were too many, you had to pay a nickel. Just as you were in the middle of Kilpy ' s column, the sec- retary interrupted to insist that you answer to your name; and then the presi- dent requested that news- papers go back into coat pockets for half an hour, and the meeting was on. Sometimes we had readings, and once there was a musical guess- ing game with a prize which we all helped Burger to eat. There was always a large attendance at formal initiation. Everybody likes ice cream. Just before Christmas, during exams, La- nier gave a party at the Children ' s Home. On a cold rainy night we signed out and slushed over to the Home with our arms full of gifts for the grab bag. The children were ready and waiting for us, and the party be- gan with the singing of Christmas carols. Elizabeth Martin, President Then we had games, with the children taking turns at trying to pin on Santa Claus ' s cap. A prize went to the little boy who came closest. Following a short program, which included a reading by ' Cile Farley, who had practiced for hours beforehand to ac- quire her best student-teacher manner, every- body got some candy from the grab bag and some ice cream. As a climax to the party, Lanier presented the chil- dren with a portable victro- la and some records, which left them fascinated and sent us home with lots of Christmas spirit. During the winter quar- ter a joint tea with the other literary societies and the Cotillion and German clubs was planned, but the siege of flu made it necessary to cancel that, too. For our chapel program during the spring we had a Doctor I. Q. program, with cash prizes for correct answers and a grand prize for the right answer to a character sketch. Another feature of the spring quarter was our annual movie party. Lanier is planning to return to the policy of being strictly a literary society, to avoid conflict with the sororities and other types of clubs on campus. We feel that the original purpose has been lost and that a change is necessary if literary societies are to remain on this campus.

Of course, no- body could forget any program so unusual, and one that was such fun. And it isn ' t every day that we have a chance to see a college dean hung on a wall. But that ' s LEE LIT- ERARY SOCIETY. Trust them to be different, daring, and super-delightful. Seri- ously, this group has achieved a distinct fame on campus since its formation in 1 909. The purposes which it seeks to carry forth [ 106] at all times are: To promote better fellow- ship among its various members; to offer an extra opportunity for direct social contact; and to serve as an outlet for self-expression, not only in the literary field, but along any desired line. Of course, the basic and all- enveloping purpose is to maintain at all times and throughout all pursuits the ideals and standards of General Robert E. Lee. Before you become a Lee goat, or for that matter a goat of any literary society on campus, your case history from the cradle to the present day is discussed with the usual solution — She ' s cute. Then comes the dirty work — that tradition on campus known as the black ball, which means that some member didn ' t like the way you wore your hair or the girl she saw you with in the tea room. Guess such things just happen on any campus, and we could not be different. Then each quarter finds the goats of Lee roaming about the campus in the traditional garb of gold, white, and silver, proclaiming to the world at large that they have been singled out for the signal honor of bearing Lee standards during their college careers. Preceding a formal and impressive initia- tion, these pledges were soon made acquaint- ed with the less dignified, though more enjoy- able, sides of their veteran elders. Enduring the harrowing routine of informal initiation, they emerged sadder but wiser — and invari- ably enthusiastic. Then they gradually learned all there was to learn concerning other Lee practices: the Friday evening meetings; the talks, book reviews, and quiz programs indulged in at these meetings; and, oh yes, the tea! This tea was to have been given last Jan- uary thirtieth, in conjunction with Page, La- nier, Cotillion, and German. But unfortu- nately a situation occurred, a situation involv- ing what we now recall as the flu epidemic, which wasn ' t an epidemic at all ; and the tea was canceled. However, the Senior picnic in a way made up for all the fun missed at the tea. This was Lee ' s way of saying Goodby to all the girls who had composed her ranks during their four-year sentence at Madison, and all the members agree that no adieus could have been better said. Thus ended the year ' s work and the trials of Presi- dent Lizzie Dozier.

Wright O £ $ f A Thomas Nelson Page would turn over in his grave if he could see the literary prowess exhibited by members of the PAGE LIT- ERARY SOCIETY a t Madison College. Maybe he wouldn ' t mind as long as the members of the society that bears his name have a good time. Mr. Page is recorded as having been a great story-teller, but even he couldn ' t hold a candle to some of the girls in Page so- ciety. Every once in a while the program committee turns everything over to a story- teller, and what she can ' t reel off about Lit- tle Homer and the Lady Who Wanted to Cross the Railroad Track just isn ' t worth telling. And the stories told about goings on [108] around campus! They are strictly on the q. t., of course. Some surprising talents crop up in meet- ings every now and then. For instance, take the night everyone was asked to write a four- line ditty about someone in the room. Some killers really appeared that night. Mr. Page would have been proud of the literary talent of those budding young poets. Poor Mary J. and Hart really took a beating. They seemed to be in the limelight, or maybe there was something about them that inspired light verse . . . Anyway, it was all in fun. And Thomas Nelson Page used to enjoy fun. — Did he enjoy making fun of folks? — Come to think of it, it is a far cry from our poetic effusions to the sweetness and light of his way of writing. But anyway, though we have not caught his great ac- cents, if we have learned — even a little — to love his Marse Chan and Meh Lady, we have at least been in good company. Catherine Ketron, President c - ' t Right in the middle of the year everyone kind of went soft and began knitting — for Britain, of course. At least, most of the time it was for Britain. The knitting wasn ' t actu- ally a Page project, but on seeing the girls in action, an onlooker would have thought as much. The little click, click of needles was encouraging, to say the least. But Page did have some serious moments this year. The treasury emptied itself of a little filthy but precious lucre on behalf of Britain for, after looking at some of the du- bious stuff coming off those needles, some felt that Brit- ain would be much better off with the money. For the student body, Page got generous, too. Mr. Page would have appreciat- ed the March of Time attached to the showing of Goodbye, Mr. Chips, sponsored by his namesake. Yes, Page is a function- ing organization. It takes in new members once a quar- ter and plays games most of the remainder of the year. Everybody is a jolly good fellow until voting time. Strange things hap- pen on that night. People seem to take on new strength, and everything appears on the scene at the same moment. A great time is had by all. After the voting is over, no one speaks to anyone else for a meeting or two. Then new hope for the future invades their souls, and all become of one and the same spirit again. Maybe Mr. Page should come back again and look things over. He might be a little startled but, once over the shock, he ' d prob- ably have a good time. Fifty some girls — and he had great faith in girls.

By mutual agreement — and by certain articles incorporated into the constitution — the disciples of Alpha are divided into five r A e $ F tz r iz individual groups. The first of these, the Hobby group, was guided by the firm hand of First Lieutenant Mary Theresa Thaxton. During the course of the year, they met and discussed their in- dividual hobbies and did as much as possible to help each other add to or learn more con- cerning those subjects that interested them I no l most. They had speakers to come and talk with them during the year on topics relating to their hob- bies. Helena Potter was commander of the Music division of Alpha. That portion of the club which devoted its time mainly to this field was seeking al- most purely enjoyment from its pursuit, however, and left the gaining of technical knowledge to Miss Shaeffer and the Glee Clubbers. As Helena says, We just sang because it made us happy, and it ' s so much fun. True to progressive principles, they had a unit to work on at the beginning of the year. That unit was symphonies, and they decided to study one symphony at a time and learn as much about it as possible. This proved to be of great interest to many of those who were unacquainted with truly classical style. The third group was composed of those members interested in Creative Writing. Marjone Mendelsohn was the chosen leader of these potential Margaret Mitchells and, according to her, there was definite achieve- ment among the body during the past year. Annie Mae Butler, director of the Alpha Margaret Schule President Dramatic Section, gives us to understand that her gang has also done a fancy piece of accomplishment these past months. Their swan song, which came at the end of the year, was a one-act play chosen, acted, di- rected, and produced entirely by its members. As for the Novel and Poetry entourage. Leader Betty Fravel told us that the group had been interested mainly in a thorough and comprehensive pri- vate study of these literary forms, with occasional group discussions. These five groups di- rected more or less the ac- tivities and progress of their members, and they and their leaders planned for a major project to be presented to the entire club once during the year. Ex- amples of these projects were the one-act play pre- sented by the drama group and a poetry album made by the Poetry girls and given to the club. The Alpha goats popped up regu larly once a quarter, all decked out in white dresses, with green bands around the skirt, green hair ribbons, and their enormous em- erald triangle proudly displaying AAS, the club initials. Aside from having to get out last year ' s yearbook, dust it off, and turn to the Al- pha page where the list of members with their pictures could be found and memo- rized, these goats did everything from clean- ing rooms and putting clean sheets on the beds to catching-up the correspondence of the sainted members of the society. In spite of all this, goating days are fun — fun to talk about later; they supply a deep bond be- tween sister goats. KAPPA DELTA PI, an honorary educational fraternity, is diligent in pro- moting high ideals of service and educa- tional advancement. The local chapter, Alpha Chi, was installed at Madison College January 30, 1928, and has continued to encour- age high standards of character and leadership on the campus. Membership is open to juniors and seniors who are year centered around its vows of service and science. Throughout the year Dr. Gifford was an interested and helpful sponsor. Continuing its lecture program. Al- pha Chi Chapter brought an outstand- ing personality to the campus for its chapel program on February 26. Dr. Schneider was instrumental in our bring- ing Dr. Papanek, a representative of Front ron : Martha Beth Newcomb, Lizzie Dozier, Anna Jane Pence, Margaret Dawson Second ron : Ruth Kiser, Helen Hounchell, Doris Buhrman, Betty Whitelegg, Vern Wilkerson, Mary J. Wright, Louise Davis, Marjorie Pitts Bacl[ ron : Julia Ann Flohr, Martha McGavock, Marjorie Proffitt, Harriett Pusey, Gladys Walker, Barbara Tillson, Margaret Shelton preparing to teach, with eligibility de- pendent upon scholastic achievement, leadership ability, and strength of char- acter. This year twenty-five girls were initiated as active members of the so- ciety. The four vows taken by Kadelphians are science, service, fidelity to humanity, and toil. The chapter ' s activities this [112] the exiled Czech government, as assem- bly speaker. In his inspiring talk Dr. Papanek expressed his firm belief that democracy will be victorious in the end. The gist of the message he brought was, There is a plan which we must have when this present war is over, and the basic idea of that plan must be that small nations have to organize them- selves in such a way that they will create a force strong enough to resist each one of the big nations if the latter should try to dominate them. The officers of Kappa Delta Pi and several faculty members entertained Dr. Papa- nek at a luncheon in the College Tea Room immediately following the assem- bly hour. Later in the afternoon the emissary spoke to the philosophy classes Several faculty members spoke at the regular bi-monthly meetings. Mr. Stan- ley addressed us on Educational Con- fusion, Democratic Defense, and Spir- itual Values. He reminded us that education, though better than ever be- fore, is still not adequate for our times. At a joint meeting of Kappa Delta Pi and Sigma Phi Lambda, Miss Frank described the experimental education OFFICERS Center: Frances Wright Left to rig 11: Mary Davidson, Doris Buhrman, Mary J. Wright. Juanita Rhodes. Margaret Hedges and to other students who were able to attend the informal discussion. Also among its year ' s work was the bringing of the March of Time pro- grams given with our movies. By no means least among its activities was the enthusiastic raising of $1 00 to be added to a fund being collected in Harrison- burg designed to buy a mobile canteen for the British. that was tried at New College. Dr. Phillips was also a guest speaker. On February 1 3 she gave us a brief anal- ysis of the international situation. One enjoyable program consisted of a lively panel discussion by various members of the faculty and club members on The Importance of Subject Matter to Our Education. [113] Alpha Upsilon Chapter, the baby chapter of SIGMA SIGMA SIGMA SOROR- II has grown by such leaps and bounds that now, at the end of its third year on Madison campus, the youngest of the Sig- ma ' s chapters is the second largest chapter of the sorority. After the first rush of seeing their friends and congratulating Bobbie Jefferson on her sparkling diamond, the Sigmas settled down to the serious business of fall rushing. What fun were those ghost stories told by Dingle among the rafters of Wilson ' s fourth floor, and the glance into the future which fortune- teller Jane Sites revealed to us at our in- formal rush party. This being the year of national inspection, the Sigmas at Madison began to prepare themselves for their first inspection since be- ing organized. Our fears vanished under the charm of Mrs. Lucille Morrison, national alumnae representative, who was our inspec- [114J tor. Every minute of her grand visit with us was filled to overflowing, and we hated to say goodby to the smiling face which had brought to us so much inspiration and kindly advice. During her visit, ten new members joined our circle in the beautiful and impressive initiation ceremony. The first Pan-hellenic dance at Madison, which was given in December, proved to be such a success that there are high hopes of Evelyn Jefferson, President making this an annual affair. The proceeds of the dance were used in purchasing furni- ture for the Pan-hellenic Room. Again the Tri-Sigmas of Madison were honored — this time by a visit from their lov- able and understanding National President, during February. An outstanding feature of her inspirational four-day visit with us was the lovely informal reception which Miss Hoffman and Miss Hudson, our sponsors, gave at the home of Mrs. John Wilson, our patroness. Officers for the coming year were elected during Mabel Lee ' s visit, and Mo has a huge job before her to fill the small but very capable shoes of Jeff, who has made a per- fect president. At an informal party at Mary McKay Shuford ' s we discussed plans for the winter rushing, which was indeed a novel affair. There the prizes at the formal bridge party were a source of wonder as to when the ten- cent store began to sell so many attractive and useful articles. The crowning event to a wonderful year in Sigma Sigma Sigma was the splendid banquet held at the Mimslyn in Luray on Founder ' s Day. Then graduation took from us some of our finest members, but their places will never be taken, for Tri-Sigmas are Faithful unto death. Active members of Sigma Sigma Sigma are: Frances Virginia Agnor, Margaret Aitken, Charlotte Albright, Marine Ale- shire, Elizabeth Ames, Florence Atherholt, Ann Batson, Margaret Baylor, Jean Bell, Evelyn Blackburn, Lillian Burnley, Amelia Clark, Jane Dingledine, Mary Jane Dingle- dine, Elizabeth File, Catherine Funkhouser, Nellie Hatcher, Hannah Heath, Margaret Hoffman, Matilda Horn, Mary Jackson, Kathleen Jacobs, Evelyn Jefferson, Roberta Jefferson, Marion Lawrence, Emily Lewis, Polly Maniates, Martha McGavock, Eliza- beth Martin, Alice Monroe, Ruth Moore, Marjorie Murphy, Dorothy Nover, Helen Orr, Dorothy Pitts, Marjorie Pitts, Evelyn Reade, Betsy Ross, Betty Sanford, Mary McKay Shuford, Jane Sites, Peggy Talley, Jacqueline Turnes, Ann Valentine, Kathryn Walker, Marion Watkins, Martha Ann Welch, Virginia Winfield. [115] Aspire, seek, attain is the open motto of ALPHA SIGMA ALPHA. Even though we are still young, as chapters go, we feel that we have achieved the aim of our motto at its best. We have struggled in reaching toward our goal, but our struggles have served only to bring us closer together and to give each of us a better understanding of what sorority sisterhood really means. Among the most pleasant of our memo- ries is the night of November fifteenth, when our chapter bumped out to Mount Shenan- dale in the college bus. There, with soft music, scrumptious food, and lots of fun, we celebrated our thirty-ninth Founder ' s Day at the same time that twenty-three other chapters throughout the United States were celebrating the same event. During the first week of December, Alpha Sigma Alpha cooperated with the two other sororities on campus to make our first Pan- hellenic dance a real success. The gym was transposed to a Christmas-and-Greek-letter setting as Gwen Trueheart led the figure with Tommy Cox, our Alpha Sigma Alpha co-ed. Of course we shall all remember the Sat- urday in February when we fought our way through the worst snow storm of the year to the home of Mrs. Garber, our patroness. (Shouldn ' t we all love to have that recipe for the creamed crab we had?) But then, we were always extended a welcome, not only at Mrs. Garber ' s but also at Mrs. Switzer ' s, where we often went to talk around a glowing fire or just relax with a cup of tea. In May, as in the spring of each year, special recognition was given to our mothers on Mother ' s Day. At this time we held our Mother-Patroness ceremony, followed by a breakfast and group attendance at church. Two other outstanding events of our year were the two periods of rushing, with their excitement of parties and general entertain- ing. Especially shall we remember the First- Night Party we gave, when Van Reese portrayed Madeline Carroll of Virginia fame, and Ann Gough gave her all in the tremulous Massa, I ' s come home to die, in a tear-jerking parody from the picture Virginia. And we did have the most fun at our advertisement party, with its Glen Fannie Hope Warden President Miller program and laughter-invoking ads of Watch the Chestercamels go by; there ' s not a cough in a carload, for they are toasted. The anticipation as rushees handed in their acceptances, and finally the inspiring solemnity of both our pledging and initiation services were fitting climaxes to the rushing season. Memories such as these will live on and be an inspiration to us as Beta Epsilon Chap- [116] ter lives and grows through the years. Alpha Sigma Alpha active members are: Gertrude Ames, Bernice Baybutt, Harriett Brown, Mary Burger, Maxine Calfee, Betty Catterton, Marguerite Clark, Kay Coupar, Anne Cowling, Elizabeth Lee Deter, Fran- ces Drewrey, Antoinette Eastham, Janet Fletcher, Ann Gough, Catherine Ketron, Naomi McAllen, Faye Mitchell, Elizabeth Neale, Elizabeth Ogburn, Margaret Par- sons, Shirley Rawls, Evangeline Reese, An- nette Rogers, Mary Sue Stull, Gwendolyn Trueheart, Fannie Hope Warden, Marilee Henkel, Ann Ireland, Grace Almy, Bess Butler, Hannah Dillard, Jean Hallock, Eunice Hobgood, Sally Homes, Mary Mc- Kay, Jane Shields, Frances Waddell, Fran- ces Washington. [117] Every member of Alpha Omicron Chap- ter will remember this year as an eventful one for pi KAPPA SIGMA at Madison. When we returned to school in the fall, Kitty Dawson, our president, greeted us with enthusiasm over the Forty-sixth National Convention, which was held in the Black Hills of South Dakota this summer. Besides glowing descriptions of a wonderful trip, she brought back invaluable information and advice from our big sisters, which has helped the baby chapter a great deal this year. ' Twas Halloween when we celebrated our first rush season; so all the Pi Kaps joined in the swing of the season and had a tiptop Halloween party. The formal 118 party was a joint reception in Alumnae Hall, and didn ' t everyone look wonderful? Alpha Omicron celebrated its first Found- er ' s Day with a formal banquet at Stone- wall Jackson Tavern, in Staunton, on Novem- ber 18. It was a never-to-be-forgotten oc- casion. As special guest and speaker, we had the pleasure of having Mrs. Ruth Nei- dig. Grand President of Pi Kappa Sigma, who was our guest for two days. Besides an inspiring talk by Mrs. Neidig, there was a real Thanksgiving dinner, followed by in- formal fun, with everyone joining in Pi Kap songs and dancing. Other guests at the ban- quet included visitors from Farmville: Mrs. Iller, sponsor of Alpha Epsilon, and Louise Painter, president of Alpha Epsilon. We also had our patronesses, Mrs. James Weav- Kitty Dawson, President er and Mrs. Charles Weaver, both of Har- risonburg. Quite a few mothers and one brave father were present to add their note of happiness. Pi Kap enjoyed cooperating with the oth- er sororities on campus to present our first Panhellenic dance on December seventh. Since it was the first venture of this kind, everybody was more than glad to do her share. Wasn ' t it fun? Who doesn ' t remem- ber the merry Christmas decorations and the cute programs? All the girls (boys, too) agreed that it was a huge success, and here ' s hoping there will be many more Panhel dances. In our calendar of events, rush week in March had a very important place. First, there was a Pi Kap party, fashioned by bingo, in Alumnae Hall reception room. It was loads of fun, though of course everyone couldn ' t win a prize as cute as that fuzzy Easter bunny. Then there was the informal, where the Pi Kaps displayed some of their talent by giving skits and such. Just ask Kitty Moltz how she felt after her opera- tion performed by Doc Fleischer. And Hart has some suggestions about the elec- tricity situation in Alumnae! After the fun, everyone settled down to chow mein and more chow mein. This party brought our rush season to a happy end, because we soon found that sixteen grand girls had accepted Pi Kappa Sigma bids. The sorority year, of course, wasn ' t com- plete without the formal joint sorority ban- quet, which was more than just successful. Deep in the memories of this year in Pi Kap are Mrs. Althea Johnston and Miss Nellie Walker, our sponsors, whose love and advice have guided us over the rough spots. And to all the swell seniors who are leav- ing us, we say farewell with more than a tear and wish them the best of success and luck. We hope that they will come back on week-ends next year to visit us in our own sorority house. [119] PANHELLENIC COUNCIL Seated: Bernice Baybutt, Skippy Warden, Evelyn Reade, Phyllis Callahan, Kathleen Dawson Standing: Frances Drewrey, Dorothy Patterson, Amelia Clark, Virginia Winfield, Ann Powell, Gv dolyn Truehearl The three sororities on campus form the Panhellenic Association, the purpose of which is to guide and govern sorority proce- dure and ethics. The PANHELLENIC COUNCIL s made up of three represent- atives from each sorority, with Mrs. Cook as advisor, of course. This year, with Gwendolyn Trueheart as chairman, the Council has carried out its aim of bringing the three groups closer together, has supervised rushing, and has presented several social functions. On December seventh, Madison had her first Panhellenic dance, with the sororities hailing it as a success and with plans for an annual Panhellenic dance in the future. The sororities and their sponsors joined together in a Panhellenic banquet given in Junior Dining Hall on April third, as a cli- max to the spring rushing period. Sites made her usual impressive entrance at the banquet towards the end of the first course. Gwendolyn Trueheart, Chairman [120] MISS CORRIE B. MACON HILL Great-great-niece of President James Madison Through her rich store of family history and traditions, we have had our closest personal touch with President Madison ' s character and pri- vate life ; through her donations and influence, the Alumnae Chapter of Culpeper has secured for the college valuable relics, which are displayed in the Madison Memorial Library. [121] Seniors, the glass of 1941 waited until their last year to do all the things they ever wanted to do; and when that Senior year finally did arrive, it was a different story. Student teaching, institution man- aging, home managing, holding major offices — that ' s how we spent our time. We officially became Seniors on our Senior Class Day in November, when we donned our caps and gowns and marched proudly into chapel on Wednesday. Dr. More- land, president of Randolph-Ma- con College, spoke to us. Then there was Class Night, with a re- view of the four years ' accomplish- ment — each girl in her respective course, whether she be grammar grade teacher, home ec, or physical education major. In the spring, we placed their rings on the fingers of the Juniors CLASS COUNCIL Marjoric Proffitt, Faye Mitchell, Flo Stephens, Dorothy Nover, Eloise Lumsden SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS Front row.

Graduation rolled around, and everybody was happy and sad at the same time. Dr. Gaines, Presi- dent of Washington and Lee Uni- versity, delivered our Commence- ment address, and wished us well in the years to come. And as all good things must come to an end, so have our four years at Madison. We are graduated. Many of us will never return. But we shall not forget our classmates and friends.

From its midst the student body has selected eight sen- iors, four juniors, two sophomores, and two freshmen as representative Madisonites. These girls were elected by popular vote of the entire school in a poll conducted by the ScHOOL- Ma ' am. Not for any single trait were they chosen, but as a combination which presents all the phases of personality. Beauty, scholar, ath- lete, major officer, class officer, good fellow, or friend to all, they compose a feature section of which anyone can be proud. We have striven for a variety of poses and, as often as possible, have tried to show the girls as you knew them best.

Since the atmosphere was one of infor- mality, there was no formal entrance or re- cessional of the queen and her court, but in- stead they arrived in open carriages. Two students were selected from the student body to represent James and Dolly Madison and acted as host and hostess of the gathering. After the queen was crowned by the maid-of-honor, the court danced the Vir- ginia Reel. Other dances were presented by the Modern Dance group and students in the physical education classes. The Glee Club and a men ' s chorus im- personated negro slaves, singing various Southern songs during the program. The members of the May Court were: queen, Gwendolyn Trueheart; maid-of- honor, Judy Vinyard; maids: Marine Ale- shire, Eleanor Brock, Virginia Conrad, Inez Craig, Kay Coupar, Kitty Dawson, Doro- thea Fleischer, Roberta Jefferson, Katherine Ketron, Martha McGavock, Dorothy Pat- terson, Fannie Hope Warden; attendants: Martha Burroughs, Marjorie Proffitt, Bar- bara McNeil, Maxine Shank, Martha Ste- vens, Mary Winston, Louise McCoy, Lu- cille Farley, Jeanette Donohue, Faye Mitchell, Phyllis Callahan, Dorothy Coun- cils Helen Matthews, Virginia Rider, Ev- elyn Jefferson, Marjorie Murphy, Lillian Burnley, Gertrude Ames, Phyllis Partridge, Ann Batson, Kitty Moltz, Mary Wool- dridge, Marion Lawrence, Naomi McAllen.

Gaines, President, Washington and Lee University, Lexington, Virginia Delivery of Diplomas, Dr. Samuel P. Duke, President The last few days of our senior life are like the last few grains of sand that you let pass lingeringly through your fingers when the others have tumbled unheedingly by, mingled together in happy, hapless confu- sion. But the last few — over these you go philosophical and find the meaning of others in their secrets. At the reception at Hillcrest your little shadow of four years ago, when you were welcomed as a freshman, comes around again, and there ' s the same trepidation in saying goodby to the familiar as in greeting the unknown. You realize the fourth act of your college drama is over with this final scene. When the curtain falls, there ' s an inevitable pause in the darkness to ponder over a few frag- mentary things. Then lights, and the clamor for the commencing of real-life drama be- gins. It isn ' t exactly like coming from the velvet-hush of a theatre into hard sunlight, though, because there was student teaching to strip us of our rose-colored glasses. At class day exercises we smirked through the direful prophecies of well-wishing Pence and tearfully smiled at our history by Flohr. The last day came. We hoped frantically we wouldn ' t trip up or down the steps and strove to keep our eyes clear until we had the precious diploma in hand. Did you think of Dr. Duke as a ticket agent giving you the pass to your next destination — suc- cess? We had a last rosy thought during the triumphal march. Didn ' t you hear a faint strain of Into the halls of fame Marched the brave seniors? We know — wishful thinking!
