LX )R 11 lORY HOSIESSES. Mrs. 11. Z. Jacobus, Mrs. F. Robins, Mrs. M. McClelland, Miss L. M. Biscoe, Mrs. H. T. Shacklcl..rd Because 1952 was election year, the classi- fications Democrat and Republican were added to the stand-bys Yankee and Rebel. Quantico dates added the phrases boon- docks and two-day-war to our vocabulary. They cultivated, because of college and in spite of college, an acute awareness of the vital and trivial elements that, united, con- stitute life in America. Although they were mindful of the importance of the individual, they could, nevertheless, see how each person and each pattern must fit into a sometimes harmonious, sometimes discordant, unity. This unity was evident in small-scale in Mary Washington College. Separate entities, students, professors and administrators, found added strength in organization. Efficiency and proper functioning was obtained through the coordination of the group as a whole. We had our own organized, unified body. Yet we were not isolated. Education no longer meant a survey of the past but meant an at- tempt to grasp present and future trends on the basis of past development. DORMITORY HOSTESSES. Seated: Mrs. R. S Wade, Dr. M. A.

An extra nickel encouraged them to punch a juke box and learn the words to the ten top tunes of the week. In the throes of Chaucer and Darwin, students tried to keep in mind that there were also a T. S. Eliot and Einstein. Edfiar E. Woodward, Treasurer Mrs Ruth Seawright Wade, Dean of Freshmen Louis C. Guenthcr. Rcci- ' trar Reynold H. Brooks Director of Public Rclalion. Dr. Warren G.
