Volunteer Christian Association The Volunteer Christian Association was founded on the campus in the spring of 1944, its purpose being to unite students of the two colleges who are planning to enter religious work as a career. Mainly, the program is one of understanding more clearly the World Mission of Chris- tianity by presenting speakers from various fields of re- ligious work, thereby helping its members to find their own places of highest usefulness. The officers for the past year were Anne Harris, Presi- dent; Russell Cherry, Vice-President; Virginia Wagstaff, Secretary; Paul Strickland, Treasurer; Doris Pitman, Ac- tivities Chairman.

It seeks to popularize and keep vital in the life of a student the various organizations of the church as well as the church as a whole. Further than this it supports the religious activities on the college campus. This year we were fortunate to have the fall convention held here in Richmond. This convention was well attended by students from most of the colleges in Virginia. Many of us hope to join the students from all over the Southland in Ridgecrest in June.

(Above): Jack SHEA, ALBERT McCuE, PauL DUKE The Collegian This year has been one of many changes for many organizations, and this is certainly true of ie Collegian. The year began with no editor-in-chief; and after a few appointments and resignations, Ralph Shotwell received the position with Dorothy Ann Fishberg to head the Westh nampton College staff. The campus was almost depleted at times of experienced writers, and for this reason the work and responsibility fell upon the few. The staft codperated with the campus O.D.K. circle [12] in the publication of an eight-page issue at the begin- ning of the second semester, with the aim of thoroughly orienting the new men in the history, ideals, and opet- ation of the University of Richmond and its many or- ganizations, Yes, the going was tough, the work was great, the “laborers few,” the hours long, and the headaches many, but with the patience and codperation of the entire stu- dent body, your staff continued publications. VirGINIA GIBSON, Basiness Manager; RALPH SHOT- WELL, Editor-in-Chief; DorotHy ANN FISHBERG, Westhampton College Editor

University Players. Jutta WILLIs, President; JEANNE YEAMANS, Cora LyNN CHAFFEE, ELLEN H. SAWALL, PRO- FESSOR WILLIAMS University Players An old-time vaudeville revue opened the Players’ season in October. March roared in with a full enroll- ment of veterans who brought back to the Players George Sadler, Sim Taylor, and Allan Flannagan, and a breezy bill of one-act comedies for which che Players deserted the old Playhouse for the more intimate arena theater in the ““Y”’ building. Sheridan Whitesides’ “The Man Who Came to Dinner” stormed back into the Playhouse at the end of March. “Hasty Heart’ brought an end to the season which had seen Barbara Richie, Bobby Rock, Marie Peachee, and Cornelia Reid initiated into the Players. [14] Biology Club The Biology Club, after a lapse of two years, was te- organized last year under the sponsorship of Beta Beta Bers: It is se to all who are interested in Biology, and it is hoped that membership in this club will be an in- creased incentive toward membership in Beta Beta Beta. The meetings were held once a month and at this time the club had many interesting speakers, both stu- dents and outsiders who have cece extensively in a certain field of biology. The purpose of this club is to further and stimulate new interest in biology and to facilitate a closer relation- ship between its members. Lois McCranaHan, CARMINE CLAY Biology Club.
