We, the Class of 1946, dedicate this year- book to our President, Dr. Paul Russell Anderson, under whose guidance the college is rapidly expanding, and in whose judgment we place our trust. [6] The College On a hill overlooking the mad, rushing crowds, Stands the dear old college we revere; Its steeples rise high o er the tumult below, Its serenity makes it so dear — The old blending with the new might well be the theme of Pennsylvania College for Women. There are remnants of days gone by in the quaint, old- fashioned gas lights of Woodland Road and in the ivy-covered tower and the creaking staircases of Berry Hall. Yet side by side with these, stands the new PCW, the PCW which is to come. As seniors, we see only the first glimpses of what our college will be, twenty, thirty or even forty years hence. But, what we ' ve seen we like and we know that in the years to come, the traditions and customs of the old PCW will never be lost.

A brave new year — a year of Victor} 7 — a year of new hopes and fears — the fall of ' 45 ! We came back to school with a song in our hearts and laughter on our lips. This was the year we had been waiting for ! Bill ' s coming home — didn ' t you know ? — Bob ' s home — Ray — Ted — Jack — Yes, they were coming home. We were happy. And so we went back to work. But we studied Shakespeare and thought about the new formal in Jonasson ' s window; we mixed our formulas in Chemistry and waited for nylons; we made charts for Sociology class and dreamed of the weekend at State. We liked our new den and remodeled offices ; we were proud of our expansion — so many new wonderful girls to uphold the traditions we held so dear. Yes, and most of all we were proud of our new President. We liked the way he talked with us and understood our problems — we felt contented and se- cure. We were growing by leaps and bounds and we loved it. This was the fall of ' 45 — full of brave hopes — but what of those fears ! We were set for a new world of peace. We had waited through the years of war. We had followed each ship from Guadalcanal to Tokyo and each tank from Casablanca to Berlin. We had waited patiently. Now it was over. [14] Sure, we knew about the atom bomb. A new weapon of war- fare. But the war was over! Then suddenly we began to read — What Does the Atom Bomb Mean? ; we began to go to lectures on The Potentialities of the Atom Bomb. We listened to the radio. It became the subject of our bull ses- sions. It was important and we realized it. The U. N. O.— what of that? What were they doing? The power of veto — for or against it? What about Bussia, what about Great Britain, what about Us? Were we going to fail again? Then the strikers ! People out of work — utilities threatened — -business crippled. 30%! 17Vi;%! Everything had a new meaning to us. We began to worry — and still we had faith. Sure, we still go to dances. We still plan new hair-styles. We still play bridge. We still go to school and read Ancient History and gripe about Saturday classes — but we ' re think- ing and working. We ' re going to have it — this year of Victory and ever- lasting peace — Because we ' re ready. [15] Arbiters: Miss Marks and Dr. Anderson, Dean and President, are our expert guidance force. With their interest and help, they make P.C.W. what it is — a small college we think is wonderful. Grow old along with me! The best is yet to be, The last of life for which the first was made: Our times are in His hand Who saith, ' A whole I planned, Youth shows but half: trust God: see all, nor be afraid. 1 ' The past four years have held for each of you many happy experiences, but they have also held disappointment and anxiety. I would have you believe you have not sacrificed the best years of your life to the war just ended, but that life grows richer and more satisfying with the years if you have put into it those experiences which make it so, and have developed a healthy, sane philosophy of life. For you, I hope and believe the best is yet to be. M. Helen Marks Dean It is always a source of both pleasure and regret to hail a new class of gradu- ates, pleasure in their real achievement and regret that we shall see them less often in the future. A college education is a composite of varied experiences, curricular and extra-curricular. It adds up to a pattern of attitudes and interests, acquired and refined, and its results are ever present and enduring. Those graduating carry with them a portion of the college and they leave with us the significance of their contribution to campus life. To you, seniors : congratulations ! We shall watch your careers with interest, hope, and confident pride. We trust you will feel proud of us. Paul Russell Anderson President L16] % Anna L.

Rushing to the window, A sight it did reveal ; Playing on our doorstep Was a little baby seal. He wore a suit of purple, And bounced a ball of white ; He said his name was Pennsy, And laughed with all his might ! He said that he was looking For a place where he ' d belong. So we took him for our college seal And put him in our song. He said that he was looking for a place where he ' d belong, So we took him for our College Seal, and put him in our song. 1945 - 1946 The wind whisp ' ring by brings a song now to you Rendezvous with a memory of PCW — Recall now, it whispers, the hopes and the fears, Traditions and symbols of four glorious years. Reserved in our hearts there ' s a space just for you, We ' ll always be grateful to PCW. Our thanks to you, We ' ll ne ' re forget our P-C-W. 1942- 1943 Amidst the trees upon the hill There stands a school that love in our hearts instills. That school with its traditions old Each year to all, great happiness does enfold. The girls who wear the white and purple so true Believe in it and winning friendships anew. So PCW, hear our call And when we ' re gone — We ' ll think of you, one and all. 1945 - 1946 When Caesar was their Eisenhower, The Roman Charm Girl of the hour Was Alma Mater known to be Belle of Seven Hills. All gladiators paid her calls ; No football games or Junior Balls; No blazers — togas were the style, Back in Alma ' s time. Her parchment scrolls revealed the Latin phrases ; Her words were: Filiae Nostrae Sicut Antarii Lapides. Now Alma Mater wins our praise The way she did in ancient days ; Like cornerstones of temples strong, We will guard her name. [22] SENIOR OFFICERS Peggy Riffle President Mariellen Roche Vice President Jane Wilson Secretary Bea Kiester Treasurer Becky Fellows A. A. Representative Class Meetings and research on all our suggestions or requests kept these gals busy! Each had a special task, and they were all well done, keeping things running smoothly during ' 46. [23] History of the Class of 1946 When our grandchildren, as prospective PCW applicants, wish to hear a story, perhaps we shall turn to page 24 of this class Yearbook and reminisce a bit. Once upon a time, ' way back in the fall of ' 42, there was in this wide, cruel world a very special group of young ladies. They had come bag and baggage, pen and pencil, to meet their classmates, their professors, their Dean, and their Presi- dent. The girls who had come from public high schools found an excess of skirts, but this was soon alleviated when blue jeans appeared in the classroom. The W. J. Quadrille took them by surprise. A special old-fashioned dance with W. J. men; whether a dream or a drip, he ' s yours for the week-end, big sisters told them. There was a gas shortage, World War II the cause, and the girls had to conquer their stomachs and hold their ears on the long street car rides. But some made life-long acquaintances, and others tried to forget. ■ s v A debut for the Class of ' 46, which was their newly ac- quired name. They wowed the faculty and upperclassmen with their Freshman entertainment. There were song and dance routines, a forceful drama with Mr. Anthony, and some abso- lute corn. But weren ' t there bigger and better things to come? An unheard-of thing happened. It was color day, the most important event of the year. Dressed in white, the class received their colors of yellow and white, and then stood before an audience to sing two songs, composed and directed by the members of their class. The other classes tried too, but the Freshmen, the Class of ' 46, the youngest and supposedly most inexperienced class in the school, won the song contest. Money was needed, so the school presented a circus. The Class of ' 46 capitalized on a minstrel show, and those black- faced gals counted more cash than any other of the three classes. [24] Another unheard of thing happened. Despite keen com- petition, the Play Contest was another triumph for the class. It had never occurred before, but the Freshmen of that year broke tradition and walked away with the Oscar. Just couldn ' t hold them down! Intelligence? They had that too. In a competitive, nation- wide exam, PCW ' s youngest class was in the upper six per cent intelligence group among freshmen classes all over the country. The sophomore year started with a bang! Another win at the Song Contest, then a bond rally, and the Sopho- mores entertained with a fantasy presentation. They were gremlins and squeegees. An extraordinary amount of bonds was sold, and they came through again ! Defeat! How sad they were. But, it was a new experi- ence. And, as they were forced to bow to the Juniors, the Play Contest winners, they vowed to do better next year. Being Juniors was fun ! November was the date of the national Presidential election. After long weeks of vigorous speeches and campaign stunts, the classes held a mock elec- tion. The Juniors were Communists and introduced Mr. Earl Browder amid torchlights and pitchforks. The Seniors ' can- [25] didate, Claire Luce Booth, won the election, but Mr. Browder sternly threw forth a vehement speech, despite the long blonde hair that tumbled from beneath his battered hat and his once well-pasted mustache that slipped. Color day for the third time rolled around. And again, triumph! Meanwhile the war and special soldiers were not forgotten, and let ters flew to all parts of the globe. PCW girls became Nurses ' Aides and groups sold War Bonds and stamps. Dances were few as were furloughs, but the spirit was there. Play contest winners. They knew that last year ' s failure must be reconciled. Seniors ! Ah, how could this be possible. The final rung of the ladder to a college degree. This was to be a glorious year. The atmosphere of war, rationing, and air raid drills was blacked out, and cars, dances, and men appeared. With Color Day came a record: the first time in the ry of P( cessive times. history of PCW a class had won that song contest four sue Prom, William Penn, tuxedoed dates, how they loved it ! And then the Senior play and they were actresses perhaps for the first or last time. The Chinese Lady Precious Stream put the audience in a spirit of hilarity. And the black-cued slant-eyed characters had a fine time too. Seniors were kept in a whirl! Another comprehensive test arrived to note the great improvement through their four years of college. Chatter about commencement speakers, the class dinner, and Illumination Night pervaded the classrooms. Dances, dates, and parties, all of the time. But they liked to be busy. Moving Up Day, and as their sister class before them, they shed tears and relinquished their places to the Class of ' 47. And so it ends, the story of the Class of ' 46. But this is only a printed account ; the story behind the story is in each graduate ' s heart and will always remain.

[69] In The Days Which Are To Follow It was a dark, eerie night when we ascended the steps to the Berry Hall tower to consult with the friendly ghost there about the future of our fellow seniors. He sees all, hears all, and, unlike other ghosts, tells all. When we opened the creeking door, he whipped himself together in a presentable dusty mass, ran his fingers through his unruly hair, and offered us the seat of distinction (to match our careers), a dusty window sill. Here many oth- ers also beheld the campus before they went forth into the world, and lis- tened faithfully, wide-e ed, and tense, to the wise words and prophesies of our own PCW ghost. The moon wandered behind a cloud and Mr. Ghost began to tell us his predictions . . . ten years in the future. The great food chemist, Bea Kiester, was mixing a little ketchup and chili sauce in her lab one day. The solution did not explode but Miss Kiester discovered the most brilliant red paint ever on the market. She patented it and is now paying a fabulous income tax. She is now known as Ketchup Kiester, the paint king. Chickie Sawders and Penny Myers have finally made Broadway. They are playing in a light little vehicle by Sue Norton, called The Side- walks of Chicago. They are soon going to play a special engagement at PCW. Said Penny and Chickie when interviewed, Cheez, talent, kid! Janie McPherson has at last taken up flute lessons and is progressing magnificently. She is known as the Ferocious McPherson. Up in Brook- lyn we see Betty Anthon leading the Brooklyn Dodgers to a pennant with her magnificent playing at shortstop. She is the only woman in the league who can stop the game to apply makeup. Ouida McGehee Young has just published her new book, My Life in North Carolina which is quickly becoming a best seller. Said Mrs. Young, All is told in the book. Down on the continent of down under, Marian Lean and Jane Wilson are taming a colony of kangaroos. Their plan is to return to the United States with the kangaroos and use them for shopping bags. The house wife will be saved. Betty Beck is now climbing the heights of ac- claim. Since she dropped teaching French in favor of traveling the face of the globe, she has gained 100 pounds. Her greatest feat of audacity was climbing the Eiffel Tower. It took her three days with pick and cleated shoes finally to make it. Her one word upon completion of her achieve- ment was, Halp ! Trying to overcome each other with their speed and accuracy in trans- [70] scription, Helen Gilmore and Marjorie Lansing vied with each other for the position of secretary with the American Embalming and Artificial Respiration Society. Both were equally good so the Society awarded them an embalmed typewriter. Miriam Egger was found on an island in the South Seas plotting maps by the lunar cycle. When an expedition landed on her island they found Miriam in a Tiger skin and cultivating a field of bacteria. Miss Egger ' s first words upon reaching civilization were, Cheez, some stuff. In the field of wrestling there has just been acclaimed a new champ. Grace Savage or Savage Savage, defeated Sally Villing, otherwise known as Violent Villing for the title by holding a murderous headlock on Villing. Savage will next wrestle with Sanguinary Sinewe who is quite confident of winning the match. Said Sinewe, I ' ll moider her. The great broken leg specialist, Ginny Uber arrived on the PCW campus to demonstrate her revolutionary formula of healing broken legs in a half hour. Her two chief demonstrators are Barbara Work and Janet Bovard who very willingly contribute their legs to be broken and healed within a half hour before the very eyes of the audience. Up in the wilds of Conneaut Lake, Eve Caloyer was found fishing at 3:00 A.M. after keeping her bait in the water for three days. She finally caught a six foot, blue-eyed, blond-haired mammal. Said Miss Caloyer upon her discovery, Boy, this is the life! Mary Lou Haller and Ruth Teplitz have combined their talents again to edit the Police Gazette. Since the funds of this periodical de- creased some under its old name, the new editors changed it to Our Law Abiding Society and Its Servants. Now all the greater colleges like PCW are subscribers. Betty Sossong has advanced to principal of Linden, Sterret, Park Place, Whiteman, Liberty, and Colfax. Said Miss Sossong, at a moment of weakness, Ah, your father ' s mustache! Doris Sisler and Helen Myers have just set a new high and low in musi- cal history. Miss Sisler, after studying for years in the conservatory at Paris, gave her concert before the lower Woodland Road Chamber Society. Her coach, Miss Myers accompanied her, playing the One Finger Con- certo. It was discovered during an intermission that simultaneously Miss Sisler hit the high A off the keyboard while Miss Myers voiced a low C off the keyboard. Both musicians are now all booked up for this extraordinary feat in music. The Ubangi Chemical Society have just hired Mistrik, Riffle, and Rains to see what makes them click. The great chemists were delighted at this opportunity. Said Miss Mistrik, Oh, my aching Back; Miss Riffle, The individual characteristic of the primate . . ., Miss Rains, Who are the Ubangies? The pride and joy of Washington, Pa., Martha Yorkin has just re- turned from her venture into the unknown. Both she and Mr. May were assigned to balance the budget of the United States Government. Said Yorkin and May, Give us strength. After struggling for ten years to get to Japan where Lt. Luley was stationed, Gloriana Luley finally made it. Now Lt. Luley is back in the States looking for the little woman. Ginna VanKirk and Peg Korb have forsaken the luxuries of life and have taken a lit tle apartment in Greenwich Village. Botli are making a little pin money by cooking and sewing on the side. [71] Nancy Means and Barbara Cox Campbell are running a dude ranch in Texas where both longed to go. Nancy is chief stable girl and Barbara is handling the thronging crowds deep in the heart of Texas. We have just been informed that the third contingent of termites of Berry Hall has elected Jean Purves, the girl we ' d like most to play basketball with. Miss Purves received a half chewed floor board for her prize, the rest of which she had to chew to become a member of the contin- gent. I feel splendid, said Purves as she broke out in lumps. The firm of Shriner, Saylor, and Bumbaugh, Inc., are doing a boom- ing business with their amalgamated toothpicks, icepicks, and lipsticks. Their motto is You pick ' em and we ' ll pick you. The 33rd division of the pigeon corps has turned its business over to Margie Wayne and Ginny Sommerfeld who have reorganized it into the winged batallion. They have outbusinessed Western Union. Also making good in the business world are Agnes Filippelli and Buth Ann Weigel who have completely revolutionized the world with their invention, a new type- writer . . . only one key and therefore, only one finger necessary. Harriet Dewey Hoffman, running on the Bepublican Platform, is making a whirlwind campaign tour across the country now incognito. Her motto is Fight, you sinners, fight! Her opponent is that great com- munistic leader Lula Browder Copetas, who is giving her some stiff com- petition with her motto Let ' s have more juju bees for all. However leading the crusade for the anti-prohibitionist party is Anna Jane Goodwin, now drumming up a great following in the South East. Edna Croak, the Democratic candidate, is being assured by her press agent, Sara Parker, that she is all but in the White House. Sally says, My candidate will assure all in this country of a high school education taught by her per- sonally. Out in China, running the affairs of Madame Chaing-Kai-Shek is Margie Couch. Said Miss Couch at an interview in the native tongue, Kachew. We still think she had a cold. The great art critic, Patty Eldon, has just returned from her trip to Alaska where she was chief critic for the annual Art Exhibition of Eskimos and Walruses. Miss Eldon returned by crack dogsled with the PCW seal for the PCW centennial. Marge Elliot and Lois Jackson are running a nursery school which is in heavy competition with the reform school of Arlene Levinson and Helen Croak. After a great deal of confusion and corruption, Elliot and Jackson were informed by Levinson and Croak to lay off. The note read, Listen, sisters, you ' re going into solitary if you don ' t keep your noses clean ! Misses Elliot and Jackson then blew hard. Gaining very rapidly on the radio is Bonnie Staple ' s soap box opera, My Life is Sad. It stars that ingenue of ingenues, Jean White, who flounders through life like all lost fish, forever clashing with her arch enemy, Pussy Hendryx, who has just stolen Budrick from Jean. A third person figuring prominently in the plot is Maggie McKee who is trying to unite Jean and Budrick. Said Jean to Margie, Oh, heavenly days, McKee. Leading the Pittsburgh brigade of Pirate fans, is Doris Bowand brand- ishing a bat fiercely and singing along with fellow sympathizers, Mariellen Boche and Dolores Knoll, We want a pennant ! We want a pennant ! Jean Thompson has been making speeches on the sidewalks of Pitts- burgh lately for an underground railroad to Connecticut. Helen Parkin- [72] son has been advocating a three figure system of shorthand and Dorothy Groves has been fighting for a ten hour week for teachers. Thompson, Parkinson and Groves are now on their way to Washington to consult with the President. They are known to have said, We ' ll fight to our last ounce of strength. It is said they now have one ounce left. Down in the cavernous mines of Pennsylvania the great union leader, Patty Cochran, is leading her miners to the greatest strike of the era. Said Miss Cochran after emerging from the mines, It ' s pretty dirty down there. In the field of psychology, Mary Lou Burckart and Carol Thorne have at last devised a new method for getting dates. Said Miss Thorne, It ' s all in the personality. Said Miss Burckart, It ' s all in the subcon- scious. Said both, A schizophreniac in every home. The greatest ace of the camera has at last reached the highest pinnacle of photographic history. The one and only Barbara Cott has photographed the mind of the curriculum committee when discussing the expansion of the courses in philosophy. Miss Cott stated when we interviewed her about her feat, Boy, do my dogs hurt. Now doing a really hot number at Becky Fellow ' s Feather Fireside is Mickey Finn McCullough. After hoofing it for two nights in a row, says McCullough, It ' s in me blood. Hot lips Coate, a new sensational song writer, has just published a little number called, You Can Have Dirty Gertie From Bizerte, Silly Minnie from New Guinea — I ' ll Take Simple Sue from PCW. This song was featured by Bombshell Bortz on her first program. Also on the Bortz program was the little girl with the big smile and tremendous mind Jane Field. It has been said that that little girl ' s brain is half her weight. Quickly advancing on the non-fiction list of the country is the latest thesis of Doc. Hunter, called The Prevention of Multiple Production of Rodents During Experimentation and the Psychological Effect on the Ex- perimenter and Experimentee. Said Doc. Hunter, Isolate the father. There it is, fellow classmates . . predictions of things to come ... we shook hands with the dear old ghost and thanked him heartily. Now at least we know where we stand . . . lay your bets with the PCW ghost . . . residence in Berry Hall tower. 1731 Basilike Betty Anthon Pittsburgh, Pa. Big Sister 3 . . .

HOOD and TASSEL Hood and Tassel is an honorary so- ciety organized in 1940 to give the outstanding seniors college recognition. A self-perpetuating society, the girls are chosen on the basis of service, lead- ership, character, and scholarship. Easily recognized by their gold pins and purple hoods, the members sponsor activities throughout the year, and serve as examples of the PCW ideals.

Burckart, Yorkin, Morrow, Riihiluoma PCW is student governed. This fact should be of paramount interest to every student for it gives her a definite responsibility; she must cooperate to keep order and honor inviolate at PCW. Student Government sets rules and regulations for Chapel, campus activities, library privileges and student elections. The SGA Board, the House Board, and the Honor Committee see that these laws are not infringed upon. The Student Government Association is aided by the Faculty, particularly the elected Faculty Adviser, who approves of or suggests changes, in Board decisions. Student government is eminently successful at PCW, because every student is a mem- ber and has a strong personal interest in the manner in which her school affairs are conducted.

We have, in addition to Woodland Hall President, a President of House Government, and a representative from each of the small dormitories, Mellon Hall, Fickes Hall, Dysart Hall, and Coolidge Hall. During the war, the Board served in its usual capacities, judicial and social, but it also had a third duty. The Board was responsible for the student, volunteer work in the dining room. It made out the work lists, seeing that each girl got in her assigned twelve weeks ' work each school year. Without this system, it would have been impossible to keep the dining room running, and it was well taken care of by the House Board.

Impossible. What freshman could do without that indispensable Big Sister to help her register and give her tips on what to do and where; and the Get-Acquainted Barn Dance every year, when we make our debuts in plaid shirts and jeans. YW also sponsors one of the first dances of the season, The Big-Little Sister Dance. The girls on YW committees keep busy with other duties too — Co-op, Second Hand Book Store, Social Service Work, and Chapel services. Though we are all associate members of YWCA, we must thank those active members who give their time to these things which are so definitely PCW.

While the Council has no power to change existing policies it does make valuable recom- mendations to SGA concerning questions brought up in its meetings. Through such an organ- ization, better understanding between students and faculty is attained. MEMBERS College President Dr. Paul R. Anderson Dean Miss M.

The book is not the staff, nor a class, nor the College — it is you. This year we have tried to edit the Pennsylvanian in such a way that you will want to curl up in a corner somewhere and examine it carefully page by page. So, please don ' t leaf through it hurriedly, gather a few scrawled autographs, and then toss it aside to gather dust ! For be- hind all the words and pictures you ' ll find our theme — a theme, that we hope will bring you back in memory to PCW some twenty-thirty-forty years from now.
