Before these students came she had set for herself very definite ideals. Scholas- tically Blackstone seeks to give her daughters thorough instruction and to prepare them for life's duties. She endeavors to inculcate an attitude of faithfulness, reverence for the spiritual, and appreciation of the beautiful in life. Democracy, loyalty, personal honor, good sportsman- Ship and courtesy have become a very part of the spirit of Blackstone. CRO STANDARD JUNIOR COLLEGE (UR present life with its changing economic conditions and require- ments has necessitated modifications in our educational system. The Junior College is recognized as one of the most vital branches in the entire program. There are now over six hundred Junior Colleges offering their particular advantages to American youth. Blackstone is a Junior College. It is sometimes difficult for a student just leaving high school to be sure that she wishes to take the time for or spend the money on a four- year college course. The Junior College with the definite goal of graduation in two years offers the opportunity for this decision to be made wisely and without any loss of time. It gives the chance under most favorable conditions to develop personality and ability. The student is not overshadowed in these crucial first years of her college life by upper classmen. She has the opportunity from the very first to participate in extra-curricular activities and can find her place of leadership in college life. Fields of service are at once open to her in dramatics, music, literary work and in the finest type of co-operative citizenship. In the matter of curriculum, the small Junior College like Blackstone offers personalized service. It is not a matter of ‘going through the mill,’’ but with kindly supervision the student’s individual problems receive careful attention. Blackstone College also offers the oppor- tunity to enrich experience, to acquire poise, and to form some of life’s finest friendships. With the advance in high school preparation, the added two years of college life give many girls adequate training and 10 Blackstone College for Girls culture to enable them to enter directly upon life’s duties. For other students, these two years at college help in the discovery of abilities that will lead to more advanced work in either a liberal arts or a pro- fessional school. There are many who, when they finish high school, have rather definite ideas as to the four-year college or university in which they wish to complete their work. At Blackstone College such students can atrange to take courses which will prepare them for the particular university they wish to enter. History Blackstone was founded in 1892. The school is the property of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, and receives financial help from the Virginia Conference. Other church denominations are largely represented both in faculty and student body. Inno sense is Blackstone Nafrow Of sectarian in its views or teachings. A new building was erected in 1900 and in 1906, through the liber- ality of Mr. Andrew Carnegie and other friends, another building was added to accommodate the increasing number of students applying for admission. In 1920 and 1922 fires destroyed practically all of the College buildings, which have since been replaced by modern fire-proof structures. In 1926 an annex was erected, providing a beautiful auditorium, gymnasium, and commodious quarters for the School of Fine Arts. LocATION The College buildings are located in the town of Blackstone, Virginia, on the main line of the Norfolk and Western Railway, about sixty miles from Richmond. The Colonial and Piedmont Trails pass through the town, giving good bus connections to all points. Black- stone is in the heart of Southside Virginia, where begin the foothills of the beautiful Piedmont section, and is a typical old Virginia town noted for the culture and hospitality of its people. The climate is. mild and healthful. GROUNDS AND BUILDINGS A campus of about thirty acres offers abundant room for recreation. The buildings are located on the crest of a knoll and the campus in spring and autumn presents a very attractive view with its many trees, shrubs and flowers. All of the buildings which are constructed of stone, brick and Ee Blackstone College for Girls 11 reinforced concrete are fire-proof. They are also connected, thus obviating the necessity of exposure to disagreeable weather. Main Buitpinc.—In the main building are located the dining hall, laboratories, classrooms, business offices, reception room, and the Vincent Library which was named in honor of liberal contributors to the original building. The upper floors of the main building are used exclusively for rooms of teachers and students. The rooms are well atranged and comfortable. Each room has hot and cold water and a large closet. ANNEXx.—The auditorium, studios, and practice rooms for the Fine Arts Department are on the first floor of the annex. On the mezzanine floor is located the lounge. This room has a seating capacity of two hundred and fifty and is used for social gatherings. Chapters of national sororities represented in the College have their rooms on this floor. On the third floor are the gymnasium and additional studios and practice rooms. HEALTH Our climate is mild and invigorating and there are few days when walks and games cannot be enjoyed out of doors. The water supply of the College comes from its own artesian well 336 feet deep, thus insuring the purity of the water. The heating and ventilating systems of the buildings are modern. The food is healthful and carefully prepared. The officers of the school, the director of physical education, the school physician, and our own resident graduate nurse make every effort to keep all of the students in good health. In case of illness the student receives treatment in a modern infirm- ary. Our registered nurse has her rooms in this apartment together with her office, diet kitchens and bedrooms. We have had no serious epidemics or illness in our student body for many years. The general health of the group has been very good and in many cases there has been great improvement in the physical condition of the students. ATHLETICS Unless excused by a physician’s certificate all students are required to take the regular work in Physical Education. Modified and cor- rective exercises will be given those who cannot take the regular course. The nature of these exercises will be determined by the recommendation of the College physician. Intramural games of basketball, tennis, hockey, swimming, and other sports give all interested students a chance to play. Inter- 12 Blackstone College for Girls scholastic games of hockey, basketball, and tennis are arranged each year. A new indoo r swimming pool, completed in January, 1937, is an added feature to the Athletic Department. Students enjoy regular swimming periods supervised by Red Cross Life Savers. Contests are held each year with swimmers from other schools. Riding clubs may be organized at reasonable additional cost, and a golf course located on the campus may be used by all. Reticious LiFsr Blackstone endeavors to offer the students the strong influence of a happy Christian home. Students are expected to attend the church to which they belong. Those who are not church members will find a cordial welcome at any of the five churches of Blackstone. Chapel services are held three times a week with students, ministers from town, or visiting speakers conducting the programs, and Sunday vespers are sponsored by the student Y. W. C. A. Chapel attendance is required of all students. Prominent leaders in religious and other constructive phases of education are invited to speak to the students at convocations held’ from time to time during the year. Representative groups of students attend Leadership Training Schools each year. SociAL LIFE Every effort is made at Blackstone to provide happy, helpful social activities. Receptions and entertainments are enjoyed by both students and faculty. In the spring and fall there are hikes, picnics and swimming parties; and holidays such as Hallowe'en, Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter . are celebrated with fun and frolic. Student and faculty recitals in the Department of Music, plays by the Dramatic Club, and concerts given by the Glee Club are among the delightful entertainments of the year. Other social occasions are _ programs given by visiting glee clubs and entertainers. Parties and — social gatherings are frequently planned by the students themselves. The College arranges for students to hear visiting artists in Rich- mond, Petersburg and near-by towns. Arrangements may also be made for trips to points of historic interest near Blackstone. STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS STUDENT GOVERNMENT.—The purpose of student government at Blackstone is to develop and perfect a high sense of honor and self- Blackstone College for Girls 13 respect among the students. All rules and regulations except those within the province of the administration of the College are adminis- tered by the Student Council. This organization endeavors to keep in touch with modern trends and movements in other colleges. Student representatives attend Student Government Conferences with this in view. This system of government helps prepare girls to meet the world’s challenge today for self-reliant women, strong in conviction and steadfast in purpose. The students elect their officers and repre- sentatives from the several classes. The Dean of Students meets with the Council weekly and the administration gives the organization the most hearty support and co-operation. The teachers live in the building and the girls meet them in the dining room, library, gymnasium, lobbies and in all gatherings of school life. This offers a fine opportunity for the development of valuable friendships between faculty and students. Y. W. C. A.—There is an active Young Women’s Christian Asso- ciation at Blackstone. In addition to the Cabinet, there are the follow- ing committees: Devotional, Social Service, Finance, Publicity, Social and Literary. This plan gives every student the opportunity to take active part in the work of the organization since each one serves on the committee of her choice. Delegates are usually sent to the various Student Volunteer Conferences and Leadership Training Schools. Dramatic Crus.—Mask and Wig, the Dramatic Club, has been organized to give to the student an opportunity to study drama and a chance to learn the art of play production by actual experience. It is the custom of the Club to give at least one public dramatic presentation each year and a number of one-act plays, staged and directed by student members. Membership is open to all students. Aruuetic Association.—The Athletic Association has general charge and direction of all sports. Hockey, tennis, basketball, soccer, golf, baseball, archery and swimming are popular. Tennis tournaments are conducted in both fall and spring. The rivalry between the “‘Bats”’ and ““Tigers’’ lends much interest to these matches and to Field Day events. Guz Cius.—The College Glee Club is an outstanding organization on the campus. The presentations of the Glee Club over WRVA, Richmond, are delightful and helpful features of the year’s work. Every year the Glee Club presents a candlelight vesper service of Christmas carols and a spring concert. It contributes definitely to chapel and convocation programs at the College as well as to church services in the town. 14 Blackstone College for Girls The sextette, chosen from the Glee Club, receives many invitations to sing for various organizations in Blackstone and neighboring towns. Honor Societies, SoroRITIES, AND Ciuss.—Chapters of Phi Theta Kappa, National Junior College Honor Society; Delta Psi Omega, National Honor Dramatic Fraternity; and Alpha Delta Omega, Schlo- lastic Commercial Fraternity, are active at Blackstone. The ten stu- dents making the highest averages in English constitute the Ten Pens Club. The three national social sororities of the Pan-Hellenic group that have flourishing chapters at Blackstone are Sigma Iota Chi, Kappa Delta Phi, and Zeta Mu Epsilon. Each of these has won national honors. No student is eligible for membership until she has passed her work for the first term. Students of various states and sections of the country are organized to promote social contacts. There are also Departmental clubs such as Home Economics, Spanish, Art, and Music. PUBLICATIONS The Acorn, the college annual, is prepared and published by the student body. Students with various interests co-operate in the prepa- ration of this book; they may work on the editorial, the art, or the business staff. For those students interested in writing, there is a monthly publica- tion, The Onyx, which reflects all the phases of college life. It is edited by a staff composed entirely of students. DEPARTMENTS Blackstone is a Standard Junior College. It is accredited by the Virginia State Board of Education and is a member of the Association of Virginia Colleges, the Southern Methodist Association of Schools and Colleges, and the American Association of Junior Colleges. In each of the departments of college work the ground covered is equiva- lent to the first two years of similar work in the four-year college or © university. Blackstone graduates wishing to continue the work for a B.A. or B.S. degree are transferred with full credit and may complete the requirements for these degrees in two years. LineraL Arts.—The Liberal Arts curriculum provides a well- balanced course leading to the Junior College Diploma in two years. Home Economics.—The Home Economics Department offers a practical course for homemakers and for those wishing to prepare to enter one of the professional fields developed from this science. Blackstone College for Girls 15 Commerce.—The one-year course in the Commercial Department prepares a student for general office work. The two-year course, for which a diploma is given, prepares a student for higher types of secre- tarial and commercial positions. MercHaNnpisInc.—The Commercial Department also prepares girls for Junior Merchandising. This includes both sales and office work in small shops and department stores. Students are carefully selected for this course, and a diploma is given after two sessions of work. PuystcaL Epucation.—Students planning to major in Physical Education are offered six session hours in this field and the remaining number of hours in allied subjects in the Liberal Arts Department. Lisrary Scrence.—The practical courses offered in Library Science prepare the student to take charge of a small library or to hold a position in a larger one. These courses are also offered as electives in the Liberal Arts Department. The student working toward a degree with a major in Library Science should devote the two years to a Pre- Library Science course which is worked out to meet the requirements of the college or university selected for the degree. Pre-Nursinec.—Special courses are offered for those who plan to enter the profession of Nursing. The subjects selected are in keeping with the work suggested by hospitals and include Psychology and the Sciences. Journatism.—Students wishing to major in Journalism may take six hours of work in this department besides the other courses in English. Music.—This department offers four years of work in Pipe Organ, Piano, Violin, and Voice as well as Courses in History of Music, Harmony, and Theory. The student takes up this work in Music at the point of her preparation. College certificates and diplomas are offered in each branch of music. Dramatic Art.—In this department courses in voice training, modern drama, public speaking, and play production are offered. A college diploma in the School of Dramatics is offered. Art.—Courses in Free-Hand Drawing, Painting and Interior Deco- ration are now scheduled, and Commercial and Special Art classes may be arranged. Reticious Epucation.—The department of Religious Education offers work in that field to any student, and special attention is given those persons who are planning to major in that subject. This depart- ment also enables our students to fulfill the requirement of a certain 16 Blackstone College for Girls amount of Religious Education for transfer to the four-year colleges, for so often this work is preferred during the first two years. Hicu Scnoot.—The High School Department is fully accredited by the Virginia State Board of Education and by the Association of Col- leges and Secondary Schools of the Southern States. The four years of High School work are taken with the distinct advantage of small classes and teachers who have the opportunity for work with the individual student. Classes in Music, Dramatic Art, and Art are open to High School students. Study hours are regulated to provide sufficient time for the preparation of classes. The association with college girls should serve as a stimulus to the high school girl.

Blackstone College for Girls 17 Crass EXAMINATIONS AND GRADING SYSTEM A passing grade is indicated by the numbers above 75. The grades 95 through 100 signify that the work for t he term has been excellent; 90 through 94, that it has been very good; 85 through 89, that it has been average; 80 through 84, that it has been below average; 75 through 79, that it has been just passing. The grades 70 through 74 indicate failure for the term with the possibility, however, of having them averaged in at the end of the session; and if the average is then above 75, credit is received. A grade below 70 indicates unconditional failure, and cannot be averaged in, but the work for that term must be repeated by attending class again for the required number of hours and receiving a passing grade; or by taking special coach classes. Besides frequent written tests in each class, there is a general written examination given at the close of each of the three terms. All exami- nations are limited to three hours, and regular class work is suspended during the examination period. The examination grade is combined with the student’s class and test averages, but is never counted more than one-third of the final average for the term. A student who has made an Incomplete on any term must remove the Incomplete before the beginning of the second term following or the Incomplete becomes a Failure. If failure for a term has been caused by the final examination grade, one special examination only may be given to remove the Failure. Such special examinations must be given not later than two months after the first examination. Special examinations must be arranged through the office of the Registrar, but only after the payment of a fee of two dollars for each examination can such permission be given. TERM REPORTS Reports are sent to parent or guardian at the end of the first six weeks, in January, in April, and in June. This includes a record of the student’s examination grade and the student’s standing for the term. Other information may be included if it is deemed important. CURRICULA OFFERED Students expecting to continue their study beyond the Junior College should plan their courses to meet degree requirements, espe- cially the requirements of the college or university to which they intend to transfer. Those who intend to terminate their education with the Junior College are allowed a certain amount of freedom in arranging their programs. 18 Blackstone College for Girls REQUIREMENTS FOR JUNIOR COLLEGE DipLoMA IN LIBERAL ARTs Minimum requirements: Sess.

We accept and give credit in foreign languages in accordance with the regulation of the Virginia State Board of Education. We quote the said regulation: ‘‘Ordinarily no credit shall be given for instruction in a foreign language for less than two years. (If, however, a student has completed satisfactorily one unit of language, and in the judgment of the principal and teacher, the one unit has been educationally profitable to the student, the one unit completed may be counted toward gradua- tion. This credit may be counted towards graduation, but cannot be used for college entrance. If the student takes another language she must make two units in this additional language in order to get credit therefor. )’’ Under the authority of the State Board we are permitted to allow credits on Music and Physical Education, provided these special units are made under the same conditions and regulations governing all other units.

Gray of Petersburg, Va., are awarded annually by the administra- tion of the College in accordance with the terms of the will of Mr. Gray. An honor scholarship of $100.00 is allowed each first-year college student for excellent scholarship in High School. REMARKS TO PARENTS AND STUDENTS More important than the acquisition of knowledge is personality development. We feel that the opportunity for this is great in a small college, and it is one of our ambitions for every girl who comes to Blackstone. Through personal interest and understanding we strive to make ours a happy college home. To this end we request your co- operation at all times. Please have your daughter ready to enter on the opening day of each term. She is under the jurisdiction of the school when she arrives in the town of Blackstone. Parents will receive a letter from the Dean of Students regarding permissions for social privileges. All requests for leave of absence or special permissions must be mailed directly to the Dean. Parents are requested not to give permissions that conflict with school regulations. No permissions for absences from the dormitory will be given during the first four weeks of the fall term. Parents are urged not to request frequent week-end permissions or special privileges throughout the session. We advocate economy in the matter of incidental expenses. We suggest that money received for such purposes be deposited in the College Book Store from which the student may draw it as she needs it. We encourage simplicity and good taste in the matter of dress. We would suggest sport clothes for classes and campus activities, several more formal street dresses for dinner, and at least one formal evening dress. Our commencement is an interesting occasion. Good programs are presented in which many of the students take part. The session does not end until the final exercises are concluded, and we urge all students to enjoy commencement with us. In case of illness parents will be promptly notified if, in the opinion of the physician and nurse, this seems advisable. There is no additional charge for the attention of our registered nurse and physician. The regular fees meet al l of these expenses unless it becomes necessary to employ a special nurse or call in a consulting physician. When there is necessity for surgical operation or hospital treatment, the patient will be accompanied to the hospital by our registered nurse or physician. 40 Blackstone College for Girls ACADEMIC REGULATIONS The College reserves the right to require at any time the with- drawal of students whose conduct or academic standing it regards as undesirable. A report of the standing of each student is made to the student and to her parent or guardian at the end of each term of the College session. The normal amount of work is sixteen hours in the College and four units in the High School. All boarding students must carry as much as twelve session hours or three units and permission must be obtained from the Registrar to carry more than the average load. In general no excuses for absence will be granted in the case of classes meeting just before or just after a College holiday. In case such absences occur without proper excuse from the Dean of Students, a fine of $2.00 is imposed for each class missed. Examinations are given at the close of each term and the grades on these examinations are combined with the class marks for the term. In the case of classes running through the three terms, the term grades are combined to form the sessional or final grade. Students are required to take the term examinations. A fee of $2.00, payable to the Registrar, is charged for each special examination unless the student has been excused by the Registrar from the payment of such fee. SUGGESTIONS TO NEw STUDENTS Each student should bring with her the following articles: Oxfords, overshoes or galoshes, slicker, umbrella, four sheets, two pairs of blankets or one pair blankets and a comfort, counterpanes for single bed, pillowcases, towels, napkins, napkin ring, laundry bag, spoon for use in her own room, and a few small articles to give the room‘a more homelike atmosphere. All decorations used by students in their rooms are subject to the approval of the school authorities. All articles committed to the laundry must be plainly marked with the full name of the owner. The College will not be responsible for unmarked articles. Blackstone College for Girls STUDENT ROLL Student AGwnor, Rosa LEE . ALLEN, ANNE STEELE .
