Under their guidance, the first-year students and the members of the high school department have become aware of the spirit and tradition of the school, and the student body has been moulded into a highly cohesive group. OFFICERS Jane Leary. Helene Gumpel. Mary Anne Hanna. Lorraine Esposito. Douglas A. Jones. .... President Vice President . Secretary .... Treasurer . Sponsor 11 Seniors MARGARET IRENE ALLEN 116 St. Paul Street Westfield, New Jersey Home Economics “Peggy” is a member of the Y. W. C. A., a junior hostess, and a Delta Psi Omega. What do you think about Camp Pickett, Peg? Herbie is her male. Fancy week ends! Those big, beautiful eyes. Hand-knitted socks and sweaters are her specialty. Her pet peeve is a messy room. She is an avid bridge fan. NOEL BLANKINSHIP 512 South Alain Street Blackstone, Virginia Liberal Arts Noel, our outstanding day student, is another of the famous “Big Five.” She holds the position of corre¬ sponding secretary of the Student Council. She is also the president of Delta Psi Omega. Such fun during pledging, wasn’t it, Noel? And remember “Hell Night”? She’s always laughing, or is it giggling? This talented gal is extremely drama-minded and can usually be found conversing with Miss Black. Noel’s chief annoyance is history tests. 4 12 V JOYCE LOIS BAYER 80 Middlesex Avenue White Plains, New York Liberal Arts “Boots” is on the vesper committee for the “Y” and is a Delta Psi Omega. She is also a reporter for Intermission and a senior reporter for the Acorn. She can usually be found singing “He’s Just My Bill.” Who hasn’t heard her say, “Don’t let me eat another sundae.” Boots reads only the best kind of literature, of course. Her greatest gripe is an empty mail box. My, how she’s changed; faithful forever to one person??? Boots says her most perplexing problem is, “What’ll I wear?” VIRGINIA CAROLINE BROWN 37 Hamilton Place Tenafly, New Jersey Liberal Arts “ Brownie,” our “plane happy” gal, is another of our Delta Psi’s. You say you like to sew, Brownie? She can usually be found cutting out a pattern. Alas, hockey wouldn’t be hockey without her out on the field getting banged around by the old ball. “Ouch, my foot” is one of her favorite expressions. Brownie’s pet peeve is being locked in closets with a safety pin — Hmmm, we wonder why! 4 13 } Seniors ELIZABETH NOYES BUCKLEY c o Captain Cecil Adell Key West, Florida Liberal Arts Our Navy junior, her favorite topics are: Key West and you-know-who’s-been-changed. “Bucky” is a Delta Psi Omega and also serves on the vesper com¬ mittee of the Y. W. C. A. Her pet peeve is people who borrow, and her favorite question is “Wasn’t that a kick?” Bucky has a special passion for ironing boards and a wonderful sense of humor. DOLORES GRACE CASANAVE 25 Garden Road Pelham Manor, New York Music “Dee,” our boss. She is the president of the Student Council. Those study halls spent with Beethoven and Bach. What would the “88” keys do without Dee? If it weren’t for tea, where would Dee be? The quiet one with a grin from ear to ear. Her pet peeve is those late hours—shall we say, about five in the morning? Valedictorian and Miss Blackstone! 4 14 Seniors TINA LEE CASSELL 217 East Market Street Cadiz, Ohio Liberal Arts Tina is co-chairman of the vesper committee of the Y. W. C. A. In addition to this she is an active member of Studio Theater. Tina is our one and only ex-WAC and she walks with that well-known military swagger. “Devvie” and Jeanne, with whom she can usually be found, know that her greatest dislike is smoke in her eyes. AUDREY LATHERIA CONKLING 150 Eighth Avenue Whitestone, New York Liberal Arts “Conky” is wonderful with a piano. We’ll never forget her singing and playing “Minnie the Moocher.” She is a Delta Psi and as such she has shown that she has other talents too. Remember that monologue she did in the Variety Show? Conky is president of the House Council. This lass can usually be found involved in a serious game of bridge—“I bet a Winslow, Nora.” If you’ll believe it, she’ll tell you her pet peeve is Rebels. 4 15 Seniors SUE THURMAN CROOKS 181 Waverly Place New York, New York Speech “Susie” is artistically and dramatically inclined. An active Delta Psi, Sue is assistant editor of Inter¬ mission. Her favorite men are “Wade—you know, B. J.’s brother”—and Eddy Arnold. She is an ardent hillbilly fan. “Just can’t wait to get to Marianna.” She played as an extra in “Romeo and Juliet” in Richmond. Susie is also a member of the varsity hockey team. She can usually be found in the art studio. Her pet peeve is, of all things, seeds. NATAHLIE ETHEL DOWNS 60 Maple Street Needham, Massachusetts Liberal Arts “Nat,” the gal with the ever-famous Bostonian accent, holds one of the positions of nobility at B. C. G., that of treasurer of the Student Council. Besides being a member of the Dolphin Club and a junior hostess, she is also co-chairman of the community committee for the Y. W. C. A. Have you ever heard that eerie locomotive sound floating throughout the atmosphere? If you have, it was none other than our gal, Nat. Oh, those dreaded piano lessons. She can usually be found with Mary Anne and “Shirk” { 16 } • Seniors YVONNE DUVALL 214 Roberts Avenue Yonkers, New York Art “Lala,” the lass who uses Pond’s, is editor-in-chief of Intermission. You say you’re having trouble getting typists? She is co-art editor of the Acorn, secretary of the Alumnas Association, a member of the A. A. Board, and a prominent Delta Psi. Our little gal is kept mighty busy. The name Jimmy always seems to bring a smile to her face. That beautiful ring means a wedding march in September. How about that over¬ worked sewing machine? Is there anything Lala can’t do? We wonder why it is that people who turn articles in late annoy her. LORRAINE MARIE ESPOSITO 99 West Fourth Street Bayonne, New Jersey Liberal Arts “Espo,” or “ Wowaine, ” as she is sometimes called, is the Senior Class treasurer, organizations editor for the Acorn, president of the Newman Club, and member of the Y. W. C. A., and another Delta Psi. No letter today? You’re joking, of course; there is always one from her favorite male, John. She can very often be found just resting. Lorraine’s early morning battle cry is, “Put the cap on the toothpaste, Boots.” In her opinion, the most annoying of annoyances is “Davey’s” sink at 2:00 a. m. “You tell her, I stutter.” This little one has many nicknames but the one that suits her best is “A. P.” 4 17 K h Seniors MABEL LOUISE GARDNER 214 West Burke Street Martinsburg, West Virginia M usic “Boots” lias intelligence plus. She is vice president of the Student Council, a junior hostess and a dining room hostess, and she is on the community committee of the Y. W. C. A. Boots is both musically and dra¬ matically inclined, she is a Delta Psi Omega and the assistant director of the Glee Club. What is this we hear about her singing in the woods? Her pet peeve is baby talk. NORA ELIZABETH GORDON Victoria Street Commerce, Georgia Liberal Arts Nora is a table hostess, member of the “Y, ” and a Delta Psi. She’s our one and only gal hailing from Georgia. Play productions are her favorite pastime. “Is that a plane?” “Rebel” has red hair and a button nose. Who is that Air Mail letter from, Nora? The thing that annoys her most is getting no mail. She is our Apple Blossom princess. Seniors HELENE STAPLETON GUMPEL 335 Rushmore Avenue Mamaroneck, New York Liberal Arts Helene is secretary for the Senior Class, and we all thank her for writing the class history for us. She is on the A. A. Board, a dining room hostess, and the speedy center of the varsity hockey team. Oh, that lilting voice over the loud speaker. As a rule she can be found with her roommate, Dee. What hurts her most is having to get out of bed and dressed for a nine o’clock class while Dee sleeps. MARY ANNE HANNA “Open Hearth” Lewistown, Pennsylvania Physical Education Our most beautiful lass takes part in such activities as the A. A. and the Dolphin Club. She is a Delta Psi and the vice president of the Senior Class. Mary Anne is very anxious to gain some advanced education at Penn State next year. Mary Anne, make like Jimmy Durante for us. If you ever want to find Mary Anne, just listen for her hearty laugh. Mary Anne is a wonderful girl, and we’re all so proud that she is our May Queen. 19 } Seniors JANE PIXLEY HEFFER 1090 Wegmen Road Rochester, New York Liberal Arts “Heff” is our president of the Athletic Association and an interested Delta Psi. Y. W. C. A. and the Acorn Staff are among her other activities. Basketball and Jane go together like ham and eggs. If you think you hear a bird, it isn’t really; it’s merely Heff whistling. Only time she opens her mouth is when she eats. “Did you say Cornell?” Heff’s pet peeve is being tickled— “Oh, how I hate it!” VIRGINIA ANN HOLLAND 204 South Fourth Street Maywood, Illinois Liberal Arts “Oh, how I love to study!” “Gini” is president of the “Y.” “Has anyone got something to eat?” She has the unusual ability of being able to keep a straight face when she wants to laugh. Another talent that Gini possesses is the ability just to talk and talk. Gini is a Delta Psi and, even though you don’t see her on stage, she always has something to do with each production. She is on the varsity hockey team. Her major gripe is gossip that she doesn’t know about. { 20 }■ Seniors BARBARA JEANETTE KINLAW St. Pauls, North Carolina Liberal Arts “Jeanne” is an active Studio Theater member and is on the recreation committee of the Y. W. C. A. Jeanne proves that good things come in small packages. When she talks about Hennie, she’s bound to say, “But he’s so b-i-g!” Lucky girl, she manages to get home quite often. Her most oft-quoted request is, “Sit on the other side.” “Hey, Wowaine, ain’t you writ nothin’ yet?” Jeanne’s greatest dislike is blind dates. RITA ELON LANIGAN 41-08 42c! Street Sunnyside, Long Island, New York Liberal Arts Rita, our strongest advocate of the “new look,” is secretary of the Y. W. C. A., editor of this Acorn, member of the House Council and Newman Club, co¬ editor of the alumnae newspaper, and an ardent Delta Psi. Won’t somebo dy tell her the meaning of the word sleep? Rita loves English literature, all kinds of music, and Notre Dame. What she doesn’t like is rushing and then waiting. She can be located in the dining room along with Sarah, Jeanne, and Lorraine long after everyone else has left. Looking for food? Her miniature is the prized possession and a sign that she’ll soon be sitting with her own children. 21 jo Seniors JANE ELLEN LEARY 361 Massachusetts Avenue Arlington, Massachusetts Liberal Arts “Janie,” our illustrious class president, the gal with the famous mental capacity—You say you have a bit of the ol’ espanol hidden away in that brain of yours? A Delta Psi, “Leer” can usually be found manipulating the lights for many of the stage pro¬ ductions. Jane is co-editor of the alumnae newspaper. Jane’s pet peeve is the Doodley-Doo. Why, Jane? She has played fullback on the varsity hockey team, and so well that what would we have done without her? Leer, must you sock those balls so hard? CAROLINE JOYCE LEEMING 12 Rhode Island Avenue Providence, Rhode Island Liberal Arts “Slim” is treasurer for Delta Psi Omega, a member of the House Council, a dining-room hostess, and a member of the recreation committee of the “Y.” Her favorite topic is Rhode Is ' and—“Best state of the forty-eight.” “Keep laughing.” The thing that irks her most is to hear someone use that certain word. She can usually be found looking for a fourth. 2 { 22 Seniors MARJORIE HELENE MAHER 459 Esplanade Pelham Manor, New York Liberal Arts “Lou” is chairman of the junior hostesses and treasurer of the Alumna; Association. Ash and P. M. C. are the things most often in her thoughts. She can usually be located anywhere but in her own room. Lou believes in extended week ends. The thing that troubles this gal most is that truck at 7:45 a. m. JEAN CRANDALL MALCOLM 517 Prescott Road Merion Station, Pennsylvania The littlest angel—oops, who are we kidding? Shall we merely say the littlest—all 4 ' 11” of her. Besides being president of the Alumnae Association, she is chairman of the Dolphin Club, and a Delta Psi. Oh, those marvelous week ends when Lafayette appeared on the campus in full force. Where does our tiny one get such a powerful voice? “Drink a Highball” and “The Blue and White” can be heard pouring out of 119 constantly. Her pet annoyance is socks rolled down. 23 } Seniors BARBARA ANN MARSH 106 East Emerson Street Melrose, Massachusetts Music “Bobby,” our one and only bass, is another of those music-minded individuals. Seems the thing she has to say most often is, “Please wait your turn.” Bobby can be found conferring with Beethoven and Bach in one of the many practice rooms at almost any hour. Wherever does she get all that energy? This thing that worries Bobby most is chewing gum—on the chairs of the College Shop, that is. MIRIAM SUE MASTERS 2716 Berwyn Road Columbus, Ohio Liberal Arts “Sue” is among the “Big Five” on the Student Council, her job being that of recording secretary. She is also secretary to the “Y.” Do you wonder that she left what she did in her will? In addition to these two jobs, she takes part in many other activities. Here is another Delta Psi. Sue has the kind of giggle that is catching. What will she do when she doesn’t have Jane to awaken her—oh so gently? Sue is a member of the chorus—remember the lovely music of the Christmas play? 4 24 Seniors MARGARET JANE MITCHELL College Avenue Blackstone, Virginia Liberal Arts ‘‘Jane,” a day student, is famous for her sweet and quiet way. You say you received an A in your History test? Smart girl! Jane can usually be found in the day students’ lounge, chatting with the other Black ' stonians. What displeases you most, Jane? “Saturday classes.” Why, how silly! You’re kidding, of course. EVELYN OWEN Brookneal, Virginia Commercial “Evie” can always be found with an animated smile for everyone. She loves music. This little gal is an ardent Virginia fan—no place like it, is there, Evie? Did I hear somebody say puppies? She is the proud possessor of not three, not six, but nine of them. She can usually be found with Ann. Guess what vexes her most? It’s sitting up front. 25 }[ Seniors FRANCES ANN PANKEY 457 South Main Street Harrisonburg, Virginia Physical Education Our star and all-round gal, “Pank, ” is a very active member of our varsity hockey and baseball teams. Making another goal seems to be like breathing to her. “You’re just pulling my leg.” Pankey is a member of the Y. W. C. A. and the Wesleyan Club. Her lending library of clothes. Pankey is one of the few girls on the campus who can claim membership in Pentathlon. Our human alarm clock. Her dogs and those week ends are two of her favorite topics. SHIRLEY ANN PARSON Stony Creek, Virginia Liberal Arts Shirley is that cute little blonde who’s always taking the part of both sister and mother. She is Senior Class representative on the Council, secretary of Delta Psi, a member of the recreation committee of the “Y, ” and one of the House Council. Top man among the many is Howard who attends the University of Virginia. Her favorite expression is (shall we say it?) and her favorite trouble is business math. { 26 } Seniors BARBARA HELEN PEUGEOT Pines Bridge Road Ossining, New York Liberal Arts “Pug” is another of the lucky girls who has gained Delta Psi. She serves on the recreation committee of the “Y, ” is chairman of the home-coming committee of the Alumnae Association, and can boast of Dolphin Club membership and of being a vital part of the Hockey team. Pug is the Senior Class reporter for the Acorn. Say, how do you think Pug looks with red hair? She can usually be found looking for Shorty, or vice versa. For two consecutive years now, she has been voted the biggest “fnerd” in the school and the possessor of the most notorious laugh. Pug eats, sleeps, and dances “Heffalumps,” and she will never forget the night that Paddy Murphy died. What frets her most is cotton. ANNE LEE RIDDICK 2900 Glover Driveway, N. W. Washington, D. C. Liberal Arts Anne is both a junior hostess and a dining-room hostess. She can often be found sitting in close prox¬ imity to the phone booth or in the town of Black- stone. Does anyone dare ask why? She lives in obser¬ vation room number one. Anne worked on the business staff of the yearbook this year. “Brownie, do your homework.” Her pet peeve is a silent phone; her favorite exercise, walking. 4 2 no S ADELE BRADBURY ROBINS 93 Cedar Avenue Maywood, New Jersey M usic “Cookie” is a dining-room hostess and one of those girls whose voice you hear so often over the loud speaker. She is a music major and, as such, she spends long hours practicing the piano. “Is that studio occupied again?” What’s this about a trip to Den¬ mark, Cookie? Her favorite expression is “Gad,” but very often you will hear her say some word in Spanish. Johnnie and Union College have a place in her heart. CAMILLA PARKER SMITH “ Bouldernol” Canaan, New York Physical Education “Cim,” another of those physical education majors, is a member of that marine group, the Dolphin Club. She can be located in Room 121, otherwise known as Grand Central Station. As one strolls by this room, the hum of music and the sound of laughter can usually be heard, with Cim in the middle of things. “And that ain’t all,” “Hi, Dolly,” and “Ain’t it darlin’?” are a few of her pet expressions. 4 28 KATHLEEN CARSON SMITH “The Hemlocks” Riverton, Virginia Liberal Arts “Doll” is a Delta Psi, a junior hostess, and captain of the Panthers. Oh, those eyes. She has a talent for mischief which is usually thwarted by her roomie, Boots. Doll is quick on the comeback—and those jokes! The thing that irks her most is insincerity in anyone. CAROLINE HENRIETTE SOLBERG 20 Taylor Court Falmouth, Massachusetts Physical Education “Sport,” the contortionist from the Cape, is treas¬ urer of the Athletic Association, manager of the varsity hockey team, and is another of those girls who can be seen proudly wearing a Delta Psi pin. Guess this isn’t such a desolate state after all, is it, Sport? She can usually be found amongst a group of choristers adding her melodious harmony to theirs. Why does she mind being kidded about her goose-bumps? Re¬ member her in “Growing Pains”? � :{29 } Seniors ANNA MAE STOCKLAS 17 Crescent Place Yonkers, New York Art Anna Mae is the treasurer of the “Y.” Oh, those confusing books. We have her and her roommate to thank for the wonderful art work done on this Acorn. Anna Mae can also be seen sporting a Delta Psi pin. Do you remember the play “Skin Deep” and those simple facial expressions? She is also scissors mad. Take care, “Manny Mae,” lest we have a baldy on the premises. It frets her to see closed windows. Anna Mae, what is it that lets you keep that wonder¬ ful figure? WINNIFRED ELIZABETH SWEET 3 Tanager Street Arlington, Massachusetts Liberal Arts “Sweetsie” is the chairman of the publicity com¬ mittee of the Alumnae Association, a Delta Psi, and a member of the Y. W. C. A. Since she is a Bostonian, Sweets favors Dartmouth and that Harvard accent. And how about that fabulous musical composition — my, but thou art a talented creature! Virginia weather is the bane of her existence. “Brownie.” 4 30 }c=- RAYMOND S. VERNON M. and R. Hotel Blackstone, Virginia Commercial “Ray,” a day student, can usually be found smoking his pipe in the College Shop. He likes poetry and he likes to play ping-pong. You say you have a rough schedule? What with working nights and then attending school in the morning, it ought to be. Ray’s clock runs in reverse. JEANNE ADELE WEIKERT Summit Avenue Ambler, Pennsylvania Commercial Jeanne, our quietest lassie, is a member of the “Y” and of the Studio Theater. Harriet and Tina, with whom she can always be found, will tell you that her pet peeve is gossiping. Another of our Keystone staters, Jeanne is all out for the University of Pennsyl- 4 31 } vama. Seniors AUDREY ELAINE WHITE 1270 East 18th Street Brooklyn, New York Liberal Arts Audrey is another of our small packages. She is a Y. W. C. A. member and an active member of Studio Theater. She can usually be found in Speck’s room with the other members of the gang. You like the song, “My Buddy”? Could the reason be that it is con¬ nected with a certain someone? A letter a week is her standby. Her pet peeve is a phone call. LENORA HARRIET WISNER 54 Bergen Avenue Ridgefield Park, New Jersey Liberal Arts Harriet is a member of the vesper committee of the “Y.” She is now a Delta Psi after working hard with Studio Theater. She can usually be discovered working like a busy beaver in the library to keep up those good marks. Conceited women make her weary. 4 32 } Seniors EDNA WILLENE WALKER 419 South Main Street Blackstone, Virginia Post Graduate Willene is our only P. G. Speech and dramatics play quite a role in this gal’s life. She can usually be found with Noel or chatting in the day students’ lounge. Willene is the music editor of Intermission and is one of the oldest members of Delta Psi. Studies trouble her the most—is it possible that she might have a few sympathizers in that respect? BENJAMIN E. MANSON 408 Brunswick Avenue Blackstone, Virginia Commercial “Ben,” that tall, easy-going guy, is a graduate of Hampden-Sydney. “Yes, indeed.” Ben dislikes people who continually talk about nothing. Why does he always seem to be in a hurry? Do you enjoy your typing class, Ben? The junior with the long hair seems to be his favorite extra-curricular com¬ panion. (Photograph not available.) 33 }■ Last Will and Testament of the Class of 1949 We, the Senior Class of 1949 of Blackstone College for Girls, do hereby make and declare this our last will and testament, in manner and form following: I, Peggy Allen, do leave my knitting needles to Janet LeRoy.

From all over the states we came, arriving all day and well into the night. A great many of us had never seen the school; and as we stepped upon the campus, many questions flooded our minds. Will the girls be nice? Will I be happy at Blackstone? No sooner had we taken off our hats and put down our things, than we were led to the College Shop for a Big Sister party. Refreshments were served while everyone became acquainted. The first few weeks passed slowly, but it wasn’t long before along came those dreaded days we had heard so much about—RAT WEEK! Can’t you just picture those stylish fashions, those beautiful white complexions, and—for those fortunate enough—court? Ah, well—“All’s well that ends well”—and you must admit, we did have fun. Time began to pass more swiftly, and many things began to happen: plays, a Halloween party, picnics, teas, concerts, varsity games, and finally Thanksgiving Day. We had the day off and were served a very delicious dinner. Some felt the occasion to be festive enough to go formal—and that they did. Merry Christmas, Happy New Year! What happened to the rooms? There it was, nearly a month before Christmas, but still the place had the atmosphere of Christmas Day itself. Some of the rooms had a manger set up or a tree well decorated. Remember the night before we left for home? Everyone gathered in the library for a party, and who should waddle in but Santa Claus, with a bag of presents! For some odd reason, he seemed to resemble one of our faculty members. January, 1948. We began to realize the year was half gone when midyear exams came upon us. Cram! Cram! Oh, for a four-leaf clover! But January brought to us more than just exams, for the faculty decided to give a supper dance—with dates and all! Each month seemed to have something special that each of us will remember as the most important event. Maybe it was the Star Light Dance, in April, at which the title of “Miss Blackstone” was conferred on the most worthy girl. Or perhaps it was May Day, the first to be observed since the re-opening of the College. How we worked for that day! There wasn’t a girl who didn’t participate in some way. The queen, the court, singers and dancers, all helped to make a beautiful May Day—even if it did rain a little. The next outstanding event on our calendar was the Senior party, put on by our class. It was lots of fun. There was singing and dancing and a skit, followed by a wonderful spaghetti dinner cooked with our own little hands. The party closed with the presentation of toy pandas to each senior—something to remember us by. There were sad moments too. The saddest one was probably that of graduation. It was as beautiful as any graduation could be; but as we reminisced over the wonderful times we’d all had together, the tears just seemed to flood our eyes. Within a very few hours of graduation, however, we were all well on our way home, ending our junior year at B. C. G. September returned rapidly, and once again we headed for Blackstone—only this time as seniors. My, how it had changed! Most of the events seemed to happen in fairly much the same order as the previous year, but somehow they were different. .Maybe it was just because we had helped to plan them, or put them on, and even participate in them. The more we worked together, the closer we became, and, strangely enough, the time passed even more swiftly. October brought us Fall Day once again, and over we all went to a little lake not far from the school. Some walked, some ran, and those smart enough hitched rides on passing trucks. There were games, boating, and lots of food for all. Came November, and the girls looked as if they were reenacting Rat Week. Only this time, fifteen girls were pledging Delta Psi. Twelve more followed them not long after. December, as always, was an exciting month. Never a dull moment. First came the formal dance, which went off with a bang; then a Christmas dinner, followed by our traditional play, singing and caroling; then home —vacation at last! It was a little difficult to get down to work again after vacation, but it wasn’t too long before we all got the spirit. Not much choice, with exams staring us in the face! But, in spite of a little loss of sleep, a few bad tempers, and some missing nails, everything turned out happily for almost all of us. January, however, was one month we were happy to see go by. The following months all brought new and wonderful things. The installation of the honor system, the first at Blackstone, is one event for which our class can be especially proud. Soon the crowning of our “Miss Black¬ stone” took place, and not long after came May Day and the first big alumnae Home-Coming! We’ve had our ups and downs as any class would have; but when we look back upon our two years at Blackstone, a nice warm feeling fills our hearts. We, the Class of ’49, have truly made history—at least to us who can never forget. gf 39 l{ 40 } College 1 W PS 1 iBEff feC-V ' ift. £ Seated, Left to Right: Burchett, Miss Kilmer, Owens.

The class has entered wholeheartedly into the spirit of the school and has participated in all of the school organizations. Their work in these groups gives assurance that next year they will make able leaders to replace the graduates of 1949. OFFICERS Barbara Owens. President Evelyn Burchett.

In order to gain member¬ ship in this organization, a student must be a participant and excel in at least five major sports. Not only must one be outstanding in athletics, but a candidate’s attitude, sportsmanship and good attendance also are taken into consideration. Last year three girls were approved by the Athletic Board. They were Frances Pankey, Jean Malcolm and Jane Heffer. Newman Club The Newman Club, a national Catholic youth organization, is sponsored at Blackstone College by the Rever¬ end Father Isador McCarthy, of the local Catholic chapel. Meetings were held on the second and fourth Fridays of each month. At these meetings Father McCarthy instructed the girls in the doctrines of their faith, and each member participated in open discussion. Members include: Lorraine Esposito, president, Catherine Appel, secretary, Maria Alvarado, Ann Boland, Tina Buonopane, Ella Caputo, Janet LeRoy, Dorothy Green, Helen Grymes, Virginia Holland, Angela Ibarra, Rita Lanigan, Helene Maher, Dolores Mascali, Patricia May, Leticia Miranda, Barbara Peugeot, Benilde Ramirez, Anna Mae Stocklas, Ana Maria Cuesta, Zeida Fuentes and Genevieve Gaj. Wesley Foundation The Wesley Foundation, a group consisting of all the Methodist students in the college, was organized during the session just past to further the work begun by John Wesley, the founder of Methodism. Conferences held during the year by the Virginia Methodist Student Movement at different colleges throughout the State were attended by delegates from the B. C. G. organization. Inspiring programs were planned for the benefit of those attending, who then reported to the local foundation. Members of the Blackstone College chapter include: Betty Sweet, president, Audrey Conkling, vice president, Tina Cassell, secretary, William Thomas, treasurer, Doris Barrett, Noel Blankinship, Jean Davis, Rena Devereux, Anne Dobyns, Nat Downs, Betty Fisher, Mabel Gardner, Nora Gordon, Martha Lynn Jones, Dorothy Kahant, Grace Leidy, Halouise Lyon, Betty Moss, Frances Pankey, Frances Parson, Shirley Parson, Robert Riddick, William Riddick, Nancy Thomas, Willene Walker and Harriet Wisner. Studio Theater Studio Theater is the gateway to Delta Psi Omega, the dramatic fraternity for junior colleges, which is the most honored society on the campus. Members of Studio 1 heater participate in various projects, such as com¬ mittees for make-up, sets, props, as student directors and as actors. Points towards Delta Psi membership are given for each of these tasks; and when a student has compiled a total of fifty such points, she is eligible to be tapped for membership at a public ceremony. Programs presented by Studio Theater during the year were: “High Window, Tell Dorie Not to Cry, “Sunday’s Child,” and “Skin Deep,” all one-act plays. President of Studio Theater was Frances Pankey; vice president, Virginia Brown; secretary, Betsy Ziegler; and treasurer, Carol Dickinson. The membership included all students interested in play production. 4 69 } Ws m Through the guidance of the Athletic Board, all athletics play a very important part at B. C. G. The Panthers and the Cubs, representing the juniors and seniors in both the high school and college departments, compete against each other for a silver cup which is awarded to the class that has won the most games by the end of the school year. The Dolphin Club is also sponsored by the A. A. Board. Because of the varied sports program, which includes hockey, basketball, soccer, baseball, swimming, tennis, archery and badminton, a high degree of spirit and competition is maintained throughout the school year.

Varsity Hockey Team This year, under the able leadership of Miss Baird and Captain Jane Leary, the varsity hockey team proved its worth in the Farmville-Blackstone game. Although defeated, 2-1, the B. C. G. eleven felt that it had gained a moral victory. Other intercollegiate games were scheduled with Farmville, Averett, Marjorie Webster, and Southern Seminary, but in every instance inclement weather forced a cancellation. Finally, at the end of the season, two teams were selected for an intra-squad play-off, with the eleven headed by “Shorty” Malcolm taking a 4-0 victory. The starting line-up for the squad was: Jean Malcolm. Wing Jane Heffer. Inner Helene Gumpel. Center Frances Pankey. Inner Barbara Peugeot. Wing Barbara Owens. Center Half Mary Anne Hanna. Halfback Frances Parson. Halfback Virginia Holland. Fullback Jane Leary. Fullback Lula Zaza. Goalie Sue Crooks j Camilla Smith .
