BDARE DF VISITORS The William and Mary Board of Visifors was headed -l-his year by Rec- tor Gordon Bohannon, assis-j-ed by Herbert Foreman, vice-rector. This group of outstanding Virginians, appointed by the Governor, came from different parts of the state. They are Dr. Claude Coleman, Channing Hall, Otto Lowe, Francis Miller, Oscar Shewmaker, Robert Vaden, George Shackleford, Jr., and Miss Lulu Metz. Charles Duke, Jr., was secretary and Dabney S. Lancaster, state superintendent of public instruction, was member ex-officio. As a state-owned college, William and Mary has been placed under control of the Board which formerly owned it. Five times yearly, the board meets to elect the faculty members, approve the funds and consider the college policies. To this active group William and Mary owes its well-established, well- organized existence. J. GORDAN BOHANNAN Rector Seated: Foreman, Metz. Pomtret. Bohannan, Darden, Bryan. Shewmaker. Coleman.

POMFRET Doctor John Edwin Pomfret, typical of the spirit of friendliness of the College of William and Mary, is a leading authority on advanced and modern theories of education, has received many honors, and written several books. His cooperation with the army and naval units on cam- pus will increase the patriotism which is augmented in the college through every war.

Its goal has always been to bring the faculty and the students into closer unity and to promote a better understanding between them, but since the be- ginning of the war it has had the additional duty of taking the lead in campus war activities. This task was performed by the Gen- eral Cooperative Committee, the Senate, and the Assembly, in con- junction with the Women Stu- dents ' Cooperative Government and the joint Honor Councils. The main legislative body was the General Cooperative Committee, headed by President John E. Pomfret, through which all suggestions introduced by the student body pass before becoming effective. The members were students occupying important positions on campus and faculty members. The Senate was made up of ten outstanding students. Its chief duty was to represent the Assembly at all the meetings of the Cooperative Committee. Once a month thirty-four students met in Phi Beta Kappa hlall as members of the Assembly to in- troduce and discuss problems that presented themselves Annual voting In Phi Bete. during the school year concerning the welfare of the Student Body as a whole. Many things were accomplished by Student Government in the past year. The Royalist, after lying dor- mant for a year, was revived, with much discussion. The question was appealed to the students through the Flat Hat; the students replied with a petition for the publication of a literary magazine; and the Assembly instructed the Publica- tions Committee to appoint an editor of the magazine, decree- ing that the magazine be confined to purely creative material contributed by the students, and that one Issue should be published each semester. Several local social fraternities were recognized by the Assembly and eventually by the Cooperative Commit- tee, to partially take the place of the national fraterni- ties which were disbanded on campus the year before at the request of the Governor of Virginia. These and many other tasks were accomplished by Stu- dent Government. In this manner these organizations separately and collectively worked to promote good con- duct and behavior, honesty, fellowship, and leadership, the Ideals which tend to make better men and women of our students. STUDENT ASSEMBLY HONOR COUNCIL The Men ' s Honor Council Is corn- posed of three senior members, three junior members and one junior mem- ber for a one-year term. • SENATE The Senate represents the Assembly In the General Cooperative Com- mittee and acts as a standing com- mittee on by-laws. GENERAL COOPERATIVE COMMITTEE The General Cooperative Committee is composed of President Pomfret; four administrative officials, four fac- ulty members. Executive Secretary of the Alumni Association, Senate, President of Interfraternlty Council, President of Pan-Hellenic Council, and Editor of Flat Hat.

At seven o ' clock on the first Monday In every month, all women students gather in Phi Beta Kappa hiall, and the council In cap and gown conducts the business of the women student ' s government. The Representatlves- at-Large are at the door to pass out attendance slips and paper for voting. Elections are held by floor and- ballot nominations, but actual voting Is done by casting ballots. The business of the meeting includes all the various activities on campus, and war activities played a vital part this year. During the year, the women stu- dents were privileged to hear Dr. Grace Warren Lan- drum and Miss Marguerite Wynne-Roberts as they spoke Informally. 134) OPERATIVE GOVERNME NT In 1918, the Women ' s Student Cooperative Govern- ment of the College of William and Mary was founded ... to further the best interests of the women students, to regulate their conduct under the authority of the college and to promote responsibility and a high sense of honor. All women students on the campus are auto- matically members of the association which meets reg- ularly once a month. The preamble of the Constitution states: We, the women students of the College of William and Mary, believing in self-government, and desiring to assume re- sponsibility in the management of our own affairs, so organize ourselves into an association subject to the rules and regulations of the Board of Visitors. In organizing such a form of government, all duties have been divided among three groups: the Executive Council, the hHonor Committee, and the Judicial Com- mittee. Serving as members of the Faculty Advisory Committee for the pa st year have been George Arma- cost, Charles F. Marsh, and Harold R. Phalen. Marjorie Lentz, president of the Executive Council, was assisted by vice-president Marcia Manewal, secre- tary Virginia Lee and treasurer Edith Harwood. Mary Wilson Carver and Deborah Davis were representatives- at-large. Again the council gave money from the Gov- ernment Association to the Student Union Building Fund which Is to be used for the construction of the Student Union Building after the war. Each year, all women students take the tests on the Women ' s Students Cooperative Government Association rules and regulations. By giving these tests, the asso- ciation is sure of giving an opportunity to each girl to learn the college rules, and thus be better able to com- ply with them. Before the tests were given, new students were divided Into study groups with upperciassmen as sponsors. In studying the sorority rush rules these study groups visited the nine houses during the Orienta- tion period at the beginning of school. By suggestions presented by the Executive Council, appropriations were made at a regular meeting to re- decorate the Day Students ' Room. A tea was given for the day students, also upon recommendation by this group. For the first time, student government operated dur- ing a summer session. After a successful term, it was decided that summer student government be continued as a regular part of the organization. Early in November, the first Faculty-Student-get-to- gether was held in Barrett hiall. At these Interesting and informal meetings, different members of the fac- ulty made talks and then had individual conversations with mixed groups during the time after the program. After petitioning the Red Cross, the Women ' s Stu- dent Cooperative Government was granted a charter to establish a Red Cross branch on the campus. Other such improvements have also been suggested and car- ried out by this important branch of the government organization. All duties concerning lying, cheating and stealing were dealt with by the Honor Committee which was headed by Lebe Seay. Muriel Koch and Barbara Gray were Senior members; Nellie Greaves and Nancy Keene, and Virginia Darst, Junior members; Jan Freer, Sopho- more member. DORMITORY PRESIDENTS Lucille Fizer. Barbara Bevan. Jane Saltzman, Ruth Cowan. ELIZABETH SEAY Chairman, Honor Council FRANCES PENDLETON CKalrman, Judical Council Among the many firsts of the college, the hlonor Code System was founded in 1779. Since then it has been used as a basis for honor systems in many other colleges and universities throughout the country. Violations of the code are reported by the students to the committee which Investigates the case and has the authority to Impose suitable penalties. The hlonor Council has been a success because of the cooperation and support of every member of the student body. The Judicial Committee had charge of cases concern- ing the breaking of social rules. The chairman was Frances Pendleton and the secretary was Grace Du- voisln. Eleanor hiarvey was the Junior member; Jerrle hiealy was the sophomore member; and Susie Seay was the Freshman member. Representatlves-at-large chosen from the student body were Katie Rutherford and Mari- lyn Miller. Presidents of the large dormitories aufomat- ically became members of the committee. Barrett Hall was represented by Lucille FIzer; Chandler hiall, by Jane Saltzman; Jefferson Hall, by Barbara Bevan; and Brown Hall by Ruth Cowan. These presidents had charge of house rules and regulations and were assisted by com- mittees which they chose. Girls on the committees were the hall proctors, the fire chiefs and the vice-house presi- dents. Hall proctors kept the halls quiet and orderly, and also assisted during fire drills and air-raid warnings by leading their sections to assigned positions. House presidents conducted the house meetings and, in general, made certain that things ran smoothly. Continual viola- tions of house rules were taken care of by the Judicial Committee as social rule violations. Besides regular business at these meetings, the com- mittee worked on a survey of social rules to obtain a consensus about what changes. If any, could improve the regulations enforced. Results of the survey allowed the committee to make more definite suggestions for the betterment of the general welfare of the students. In Its second year of operation during war-time, the Women ' s Student Cooperative Government Associaiion was confronted with more and varied problems brought on by the many necessary changes which have taken place. To cope with the different situations, different regulations were needed and obtained. Among the most Important changes were those of the coming of the Army Specialized Training Unit and the Naval Chap- lain ' s Training School to the campus. In many ways, these groups were considered and made a part of the college. By so doing, by offering aid to the other service men and women, and by doing war work, the members of the Women ' s Students Co- operative Government Association has seen that college traditions and standards were kept through the mos ' ' trying times.

I -12 I THE CDLDNIAL ECHD The 1944 Colonial Echo was faced with major war problems as the all-girl editors began work for the pub- lication of the annual. A necessary priority on films was of concern, but with the cooperative and loyal aid from the student body, the outlook brightened. Russ Ford, our A. S. T. U. photographer, LInwood Aron and Dinny Lee were responsible for the pictorial ma- terial in the book. Deedee Armor, editor-in-chief, supervised the work of her staffs. Gwen Kehl and her group planned the organization work, collected the write-ups, and gave a final touch to the Organization Section. The Class Staff, headed by Joan Parker, was in charge of proper distribution of students in classes and drew up plans for the class sections. Our associate editor, Becky Ramsey, assisted the editor throughout the year, and worked with the junior editors. The Make-up staff with Marion Lang as the junior editor, was responsible for the make-up of copy and picture captions. War made It impossible to have a full and complete Athletic Section, but Dick Bicks and Bud Weintraub did the editorial work for the Men ' s Athletics. The entire staff has cooperated to its greatest extent to present to the student body a COLONIAL ECHO worthy of the tradition of the College of William and Mary. y Gwen concocting all sorts of magic with her Organizations staff. ' Editors confer. Photography staff, with thanks. [44 J Under the able leadership of Winifred Gill, the business staff of the 1944 Colonial Echo was re- sponsible for the financial side of the organization. Each member aided in soliciting advertisements, but the decision of the publication committee ruled that advertising be eliminated. Perhaps the most important of all was the prepara- tion procedure for photograph appointments, com- piling an appointment schedule for the student body, collecting money for pictures, taking complete charge of ordering pictures from the photographer and financial transactions between the photography com- pany and the Colonial Echo. The business staff worked cooperatively throughout the year on its tasks. Jerry Hyman and Norma Bradshaw assisted the business editor in accomplishing the work. Each member was assigned a certain amount of work and each turned that assignment in on time, which tended to make the publication a bigger and better book than in years before. Credit must be given to the business staff for their excellent work. ' ff Right: Rebecca Ramsey, Associate Editor. Glo, our ECHO artist.

To do away with any prejudice or hesitancy the names of the authors were obliterated and the manuscripts were numbered. Each person wrote his criticism on individual sheets, which were correlated by the Editor. When time came for the final decision all manuscripts which had received any favorable com- ment were discussed by staff and either accepted or rejected. For the first issue it was a matter of fabulous luck that the material selected exactly fit the number of printed pages. We were forced neither to include any second-choice nor to omit anything we wanted. It was hard work being mother and mid-wife both, but It was a lot of fun, too. We created, we criticized, we quarreled violently about some things and agreed unani- mously about others. There were a lot of laughs, not a few groans, sighs of desperation, frowns of bewilder- ment, and ultimate rejoicing when the ROYALIST came out on time and people seemed to like it. We regretted that the ASTU contributions had to be postponed until the second issue; we regretted even more that we couldn ' t include some of the critical comment, which was Indeed worthy of New Yorker ' s best satiric vein. But, MAUREEN eOTHLIN Associate Editor Royalist staff hard at work. 1 6] THE RDYALIST after all, what really matters is that there Is a ROYALIST, war or no. We hope that it has a long life and a merry one. After a year of suspended animation, the ROYALISl came back to life, a new, different, and more suitable college literary magazine. The renascence was not ef- fortless. A few people, who believed they represented the sentiment of the majority of the students, decided to make an active attempt to reestablish the magazine. Letters signifying their intention, were written to the Publications and Student Activities Commitees and peti- tions were circulated to prove that the campaign had full student approval and support. Dr. W. Melville Jones, of the Department of English, was of invaluable help; his encouragement and advice, as well as the coopera- tion of other members of the faculty, made the ROY- ALIST ' S revival a much less hazardous one. And so the ROYALIST was allowed a come-back. An editor was elected, a staff chosen, and the work be- gun. Because of the shortage of time and the decreased enrollment, it was decided to make the publication a semi-annual one. Two issues a year, rather than four, would enable a greater selectivity of material, and therefore, a higher literary standard. Our aim was to produce a magazine representative of the best writing that was in us. A college publication has to choose be- tween two policies; it can be a light, humorous maga- zine like the Log or the Lampoon or a serious literary magazine like the Holy Cross Purple. Any compromise is fatal. We chose the second, more difficult alterna- tive. We were shooting high. Lack of time and prece- dent increased the risk, but we had confidence in the interest and ability of the campus and this confidence does not seem to have been misplaced. Over sixty man- uscripts were submitted in less than a month; about a third of them were used in the first issue. Contrary to what we ha d expected, almost half of the material was verse. Senior staff before first publication.

P HI BETA KAPPA HONOR Founded at the College ot William and Mary on December 5, 1776, Phi Beta Kappa was the first Greek letter fraternity in the United States. Alpha of Virginia elects to membership from the qualified members of the Senior class, from the alumni of the college who have been out of college for ten years and who have attained distinction in their professions, and from those other than William and Mary graduates who are distinguished in letters, science, education or in some other learned profession. Phi Beta Kappa hfall was built by the United Chapters to celebrate the one hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the organization which was founded as a social and Intellectual fraternity In the Raleigh Tavern on the Duke of Gloucester Street. On Saturday, December 4, 1943, on the one hundred sixty-seventh anniversary of its founding. Phi Beta Kappa initiated those members of the Senior class who were elected on the basis of their scholarship records during the first three years of college, as well as some members of 1943 and an alumnus member. Robert P. Tristram Coffin, well-known poet and Pulitzer Prize winner for his book of poems, Strange Holiness, read three unpublished poems, Upstairs, Wind from hHome, and The Day My Son Puts on His V ings. Faculty members: Kathleen M. Alsop, Alfred R. Armstrong, Martha E. Barksdale, John Stewart Bryan, D. J. Blocker, H. L. Bridges, Eleanor Calkins, Davis B. Camp, T. S. Cox, Edgar B. Darden, Donald W.

Mortar Board Is a national honorary society which was formed through the combined efforts of four groups of college women in 1918. These groups were located at Swarthmore College, Cornell University, Ohio State University and the University of Michigan. Since then the organization has grown until it includes seventy-seven chapters with about ten thousand members. The William and Mary chapter was founded in 1928. The purpose of Mortar Board is to provide for the cooperation between societies, to promote college loyalty, to advance the spirit of service and fellowship among university women, to maintain a high standard of scholarship, to recognize and encourage leadership, and to stimulate and develop a finer type of college woman. With this goal in mind, the eight 1943-1944 members planned the program of the local chapter. Early In the year, they helped with Freshmen orientation groups, entertained the new students at a party during orientation week and assisted at the president ' s reception. The annual coed dance was held in the fall. In connection with the war effort, Mortar Board ' s projects included rolling bandages for the Red Cross, making war stamp corsages for the Y. W. C. A. bond bazaar and the War Council ' s jeep drive; and collecting and conditioning books for the World Student Service Fund. Late in the spring, the chapter was also responsible for forming a committee which put on a drive for money contributions to the W. S. S. F. Mortar Board ' s all-year-round services included conducting a tutoring bureau, and providing magazines for the women ' s dormitories and the infirmary. In recognition of high scholarship, a Smarty Party has been held each year at which ten women who have the highest scholastic standing in each class are guests. The most exciting event of the year was the choosing of new members who were tapped at a convocation in May before the whole student body. Qualifications for membership are Service, Scholarship and Leadership. The president of the organization was Mary Wilson Carver who was- assisted by the other officers, Katie Rutherford, Barbara Gray, and Marian Ross. Members may be distinguished by their pin, a small black and gold mortar board and by the PI Sigma Alpha emblem worn on their academic gown at formal convocations.

A. began the 1943-1944 season with a successful little sister program, when big sisters called on their little sisters, helped them get acquainted with the campus customs, and generally helped them accustom themselves with activities and the college program. The high point in the sis- ter program came with a party in Barrett Hall when big and little sisters met to chat, sing and have fun together. One Saturday afternoon in October the Sunken Garden was the scene of a Bond Bazaar sponsored by the Y. W. C. A. Each club on campus took part by setting up a booth. Bingo, darts, ducking for apples, fortune telling and sketching were only a few of the things that could be done for the price of a war stamp. The success of the Bond Bazaar was proof that a campus all out campaign for selling war stamps can be highly successful. Plans were immedi- ately made for a similar bazaar to be held on a larger scale in the spring. Another activity of the Y was the collection of food for Thanksgiving bas- kets for the needy families of Williamsburg. Baskets were placed in each dorm- itory and each girl contributed one article of food stuff. Chapel services were conducted throughout the year, the Thanksgiving serv- ice being outstanding. Student leaders and student speakers helped to make the programs especially interesting. Just before Christmas a campaign for the sale of Tuberculosis stamps was sponsored by the Y with a goal which surpassed the sale of the previous year. Ihe members put on a successful drive, reaching every student on campus. Led by Marian Ross, the Y has accomplished the aim set by the national council for college chapters, and has attempted to undertake several campus problems which the Y cabinet discussed thoroughly and carefully planned. Members of the cabinet Included Marian Ross, president, Marilyn Kaemmerie, vice president, Mary Wilson Carver, secretary, and Barbara Gray, treasurer. Committee chairmen were Eleanor fHarvey, Marion Lang, Jane Saltzman, Winifred Gill and Edith Burkhard. 1 164 J First Row: Manning, Agurl(, Marsh, Second Row; Trumbo. Wallter, McLean. Greaves. The War Council, infant campus organization, was organized in February. 1943, as a result of a growing need to stimulate interest and promote activity in the various phases of the war effort on the William and Mary campus. The council had seven administrative departments, headed by Dorothy Agurk; war stamps, Marabeth Dowd; personnel, Sarah Mills and Mary Ellen McLean; enter- tainment, Mary Lou Manning; service, Sunny Trumbo; USO, Pauline Walker; sal- vage, Nellie Greaves; and publicity, Edythe Marsh. Changes were made In February when Edythe Marsh became chairman of the council; hiarriet Irvln, publicity chairman; and Jean Boyd and Bookie Wilder, USO co-chairmen. Early In October the War Council organized the WAM Corps, a war service orga nizatlon composed of five hundred and forty-six coeds pledged to five hours war work per month. The war activity program for the WAMS and the cam- pus was coordinated and sponsored by or In cooperation with the council. Ac- tivities Included parties for Navy Chaplains and Chaplain ' s Aides, a Stamp Stomp and a Jeep Hop to promote stamp sales, preparation of over four hundred Christmas boxes In cooperation with the Red Cross Camp hHospItal Committee, rolling bandages, making more than a dozen afghans. A Red Cross Chapter was organized, WAMS collected old clothes, books, junk jewelry, and Flat Hats which they addressed and sent to former William and Mary students In service. A college G. S. C, and selling apples for the benefit of the Red Cross was also part of the work. In February, I 944,- a film program on war ac- tivities was shown in Phi Beta Kappa In conjunction with an exhibit of WAM and War Council work. The organization has accomplished Its purpose as a war service institution of the College of William and Mary. WAR COUNCIL I 165 I KAPPA DELTA PI Caudwell, Ramsey, Hitch.

EDUCATION Kappa Delta Pi, national honorary Education fraternity, was founded at Willian:! and Mary in 1927. Its purpose is to recognize and encourage high scholastic achievenneni and intelligent endeavor in the field of education. Activities included a trip to Bruton Heights school and lectures on the educational system during wartime. Kappa Omicron Phi, national professional Home Economics fraternity, cooperated In war work, participated in the Bond Bazaar, made a study of the Constitution and by-laws of the fraternity, celebrated National Founder ' s Day in December, and compiled a scrap- book on Who ' s Who in Home Economics during the 1943-44 season.

The club has been organized to promote Interest In the knowledge of Spanish lit- erature, our Spanish speaking neighbors, their customs, and their way of life. Its curiosity, promotion and help have served students recently, on a trip to Mexico City last summer to attend the University of Mexico summer school, and In cataloguing Spanish and Latin-Ameri- can material In cur library. The Spanish Club ' s activities In the past have been so popular that It has grown to be the largest organization on campus with well over two hundred members. About fifty new members were initiated In the fall and were given ribbons of club colors, yellow and red, to wear for a period of three days as a sign of recognition. As its share of war work, the Spanish Club has bought a war bond, contributed to the Red Cross, and other worthy causes. Our programs are varied for entertainment, information, and amusement, and are the result of a student-faculty cooperative plan. Dr. Pierre Macy gave the club a general description of Mexican life in his address and provided a setJing for Barbara Ruhl ' s colorful and humor- ous description of her life with a Mexican family while attending summer school in Mexico City. Piano and vocal selections were given by Marjorle Hill, Betty Aurell, and Eleanor Clay- ton, while everyone joined in singing Spanish songs of which the favorites were the Christmas carols. Many Interesting programs and activities were enjoyed during the year, none beinq complete without refreshments, the drawing card of many a successful meeting. Our officers for the season were Audrey Hudgins, president; Rhody Miller, vice-president; Margaret Maroney, secretary: Sue McGeachin, treasurer; Barbara Ruhl, entertainment chair- man; Antoinette Robinson, publicity chairman; and Sarah Mills, refreshment chairman. The club sponsored a booth at the Bond Bazaar which was decorated in yellow, blacic and red, and helped augment the war fund. Los Quljctescos held its annua! picnic In the paric rather than at Yorlctown, because of the lack of transportation. This completed the events for the year and closed the season successfully. 1 168 1 tl fi fl First Row: Guran, Clayton, Dumper, Johnson, Williams, Neiderlander. McCormick, Weimer, Pendleton. Reuter.

The Cercle Francals opened its new season under the sponsorship of Professor Pieire Macy with the officers who were elected last year: Ruth Weimer, president; Eleanor Harvey, vice-president; Gloila Brush, secretary; Frances Pendleton, treasurer; and Nellie Greaves, chairman of the program committee. Meetings were held In Chandler Hall living room and opened typically with the singing of French songs by the entire club. Programs were then arranged under the leadership of Nellie Greaves and assisted by Gloria Iden. Professor Macy generously gave his time and services In supporting and contributing to all of the programs. Consequently Interesting and en- tertaining programs were planned. Including French music, both vocal and piano selections, a French play, appropriate talks by members of the faculty and guests, and reci- tations In French. Ambitious plans were also made for a club picnic to be held In the spring. At the first meeting In October, by popular request, Professor Macy repeated a talk of epi- sodes experienced in Underground France, which was as before, enthusiastically received by the members of the club. A second meeting In November was made very Interesting by Mrs. Oliver Freud, who hon- ored the French Club with a resume of her recent Impressions of Europe. The program committee came forth with a most entertaining and appropriate Christmas program. The evenmg ' s presentation was opened with group singing of many famous French Christmas carols followed by several French vocal and piano selections. The main part of the program centered around an original French play written by Professor Macy from the book Toe Toe Toe , which was enjoyed immensely by the members and their guests. Continuing the policy of last year, the club extended invitations of membership to all who were Interested in French and as a result the club maintained a large and cooperative membership.

BACKDROP CLUB THEATRE The year 1943-44 marks the seventh anniversary of the Backdrop Club. Since 1937 students interested in producing a college varsity show have combined their talents annually in this club in writing scripts and music, making costumes and constructing stage sets. The first show was entitled Spring Cleaning and in the following year Set to Munich was produced. In 1939 and 1940 the respective varsity shows were A Nickel Ain ' t Nothing ' and Peace Brother, It ' s Wonderful. The last show given was in 1941. Take a Deep Breath was a success both from the financial standpoint and from actual theatrical and production aspects. The soldiers from Fort Eustis were the guests at the Saturday night performance. Last year for the first time we were unable to produce the annual show. Work was well under way on Ladies in hiades or Hell ' s Belles, when the sudden male shortage put a definite damper on the idea. To compensate members for the loss of the show, a party was given back- stage in Phi Bete. Everyone sang the old varsity show songs, Ten to Ten, Brush Your Teeth, and concluded with dancing and refreshments. The club officers were Jean Mencke, president; Sally Snyder, vice-president; and Ruth Kenyon, secretary-treasurer. Despite definite handicaps, the Backdrop Club still functions in cooperation with the Fine Arts Department, especially In constructing stage sets for the theatre productions. Several scripts were brought to the attention of the officers and tentative plans were made to produce. The outcome depended upon talent and music, and also on the availability of materials for sets and costumes. But in spite of the obstacles a definite attempt was made to carry on the tradition with another outstanding and memorable varsity show for the campus. 1172] First Row: Smith, Burns. Rom. Keene.

The Clayton Grimes Biological Club, when founded, was first nanned the John Clayton Biological Club in honor of John Clayton, one of America ' s first botanists of renown. Later the name of Grimes was linked with that of Clayton, in honor of Jerome Grimes, professor of botany at the College of William and Mary, to give the club its present title. Activities being hampered this year, due to transportation and difficulties in securing materials desired, the club began with a slow start, but rapidly increased its progress despite the effects of our third year of war. Under the directions of Kenneth Winfield, president; Nancy Carnegie, secretary- treasurer; and Eugene Goldschmidt, program chairman, a series of student talks and discussions and motion pictures were given throughout the first semester. The student talks, a requirement for qualification as a key member, covered various fields of biology, depending upon the interests of the speaker. They were mainly for the purpose of acquainting the students with the various methods of investigating scientific research, and the process of looking up material on a scientific basis, as well as education in different fields of biology. Many interesting discussions arose from the student talks, namely cancer and tissue culture. Motion pictures given for the benefit of both the elementary and advanced students played a great part in the weekly meetings of the club, each one devoted to a particular field of study. The annual field trip was abandoned due to war conditions, and in its place was substituted a seafood picnic held at Lake Matoka, enjoyed with the usual enthusiasm known to the Clayton Grimes Club members. The climax of the year was reached in April when everyone in the biology department and all those interested in biology cooperated under the sponsor- ship of the club and directed the biology Open hHouse, the central tfieme being exemplified mainly in the Physiology and Bacteriology departments.

The success of the Valentine Dance was due In part to the elaborate decorations. Glo Ranlcin designed the over-sized Valentines which adorned the walls. The ingenious idea for the favors was conjured up by Ann James and Sunny Trumbo. A huge heart gate was made by Anne Ray wr h the aid of some of the A. S. T. U. boys. At the last moment, Marion Ross, tireless in her efforts, helped to place the bright red streame-s. Everyone relaxed, and some hours later happy couples were dancing to music supplied by the Camp Peary orchestra. GERMAN CLUB Melodious strains of the A. S. T. U. orchestra drifted from Blow Gymnasium the first Saturday night after classes had begun. Once again the German Club, under the leadership of Lebe Seay, launched another successful year, but a year greatly influenced by Uncle Sam. The thought of blind dates, especially the G. I. variety arranged by the efforts of Major McGinn and Miss Wynne-Roberts, brings to the minds of coeds and cadets who attended this formal the tortured suspense, and yet the hopeful anxiety with which everyone awaited an introduction to the prize won in the Army Raffle. Consequently, the coeds met the cadets; new acquaintances were made and the cadets began to feel they were a real part of our student body. The second formal sponsored by the German Club was on February 12, and was marked by a decided Valentine ' s Day influence. Each German Club mem- ber gave her date a Valentine containing two defense stamps. The German Club was all-out to aid Uncle Sam. It bought a $100 war bond in addition to sponsoring a raffle of a $25 war bond last fall. Marjorie Retzke, secretary; Mary Raney, treasurer; Bar- bara Gray, vice-president, and Lebe Seay were kept busy administrating the details of bids, dances and other essentials; and many members contributed by giving much of their time before each formal, to make each a dance long remembered by the khaki, navy blue, coeds and the many others who attended. 1178 1 I ► . :k.

Chief among its undertakings has been the Religious Emphasis Week, sponsoring specia ' services, and working with the Y. W. C. A. and the Chapel Committee. The Gibbons Club, directed by Father Walsh, is chiefly concerned with the spiritual wel- fare of the Catholic students and seeks to promote fellowship among members, which in- cluded the ASTU cadets.

CANTERBURY CLUB RELIGION The Canterbury Club is the association of Episcopal studenis at lhe College of William and Mary. The organization on this campus is a chapter of the International Canterbury Club, which is the associat ion of Episcopal students at colleges all over the world. The club was founded here several years ago and functioned unofficially for some time. In the spring of 1942 the club was given an official charter. The club sponsors the Sunday Vesper Services at Bruton Parish Church. The members meet once a month at a formal meeting in the evening and again once a month at a corporate communion held at the College Chapel, which is followed by a breakfast at the Bruton Parish House. At the beginning of the school year and during Lent the Canterbury Club gives a tea, which is followed by a lecture and a forum discussion, every Sunday afternoon. The activities of the Canterbury Club include visiting inmates of the Eastern State Hospital, taking charge of the parish Sunday School and teaching classes, serving as acolytes and ushers at the church and doing Altar Guild work. This year the Canterbury Club assisted with the War Bond Bazaar. The officers of our chapter of the club are as follows: John Paul Carter, president; Frances Pendleton, vice-president; Bookie Wilder, secretary, and Nellie Greaves, treasurer. The social chairman is Joan Worstell, and Betty NIederlander is the chairman of the Altar Guild. The Rev. Francis H. Craighlll, the Rev. Alfred Alley, and Miss Constance Applebee act as sponsors. The council members are Florence Pettigrew, Ann Pettigrew, Winifred Gill, Senior; Richard Anderson, Nancy Keen, Judy Sullivan, Junior; Mary Baker, Jean Beazley, Yvonne Sturtevant, Sophomore; Jane Achenback, Norma Fehse, William Rasche, Freshman.

The most effective and important work done by this years Panhellenic Council, the administrative council for the nine sororities on our campus, pertained to plans to carry out successfully a new system of rushing. For the second year the Council experimented with rushing deferred, but this year the rules changed the system by providing for a period of almost free association between sorority girls and rushees between September and November. Several new ideas were instituted. A mass meeting was held to thoroughly explain the rushing rules to the women students, and a series of mixers was held in Barrett hiall for sorority and non-sorority women at which singing of sorority songs was the program feature. A new set of forms was devised on which violations of Panhellenic rules could be reported most efficiently. Rules were made for rushing of students entering in February. Panhellenic had a colorful booth at the Y. W. C. A. Bond Bazaar. Much work was done for careful revision of the Panhellenic constitution. In March Pan- hellenic held its annual reception for faculty and administration in Phi Beta Kappa Hall. Representatives of the Fraternity Association and of the social fra- ternities for men were invited to help receive with representatives of the sorori- ties at this reception. The work of this year ' s Council meetings held twice monthly has laid a groundwork for future activities which, as stressed by the National Panhellenic Congress, will be necessary to meet new problems created by the war situation, such as the effect of the accelerated college program on fraternity personnel, and the new responsibilities that have come to fraternity women in making adequate contribution to the war effort. Emphasis will continue to be placed on the necessity of every fraternity to live its ideals of service and to prove its worth by its unselfish contribution to the campus and to the community.

Founded with the intention of offer- inq a substitute club that would be in a position to carry on social functions which the national fraternities, inactive since last year, had been givinq, the eight charter members secured approval from the collge adminstration, issued bids and Phi Delta Pi began to grow to its present size of approximately thirty members. During the year. Phi Delta Pi has been very active considering its youth among campus or- ganizations. With its bi-monthly serenades and consistent sponsor- ship of college functions, the club has become more firmly entrenched throughout the year. Its many activities included the sponsorship of a campus-wide drive to raise funds In order to send Flat Hats to alumni In the service and a Sadie hiawkins Dance which proved to be a highlight of the year.

The decision of the Fraternity Association to place all social fraternities on an inactive basis for the duration led to the estab- lishnnent of Kappa Tau to fill in the social gaps left by this adnninis- tratlve move. Without any particular purpose in nnind other than lo promote college activities and to have a good time, nine men living In the Old Infirmary banded together, secured approval, and founded Kappa Tau. Formal organization with William Britton as president, Edward Griffin as vice-president, LeRoy Peake as secre- tary, and Wally Rowe as treasurer was followed by open rushing in the fall, which netted members and brought the roster to twenly five. The Kappa Tau ' s have been very successful in their varied ac- tivities and social functions, the highlights being their Thanksgiving Ball and the Pin Dance in March. Among the campus organizations, Kappa Tau has taken its place for the duration and is to be re- membered by its numerous paintings which have become so traal- tional on the campus of William and Mary. r ' 31 %•! VOYLES Last year Coach Carl Voyles gave to our college a Southern Conference Champion- ship team. But this year he did something far more important — he trained the civilian and army students to be keen and able fighters for their country. • • • THE REUBEN N. McCRAY CHEERLEADERS A squad of eight cheerleaders kept the spirit of the student body and the football team at a peak this year. They introduced new yells and held pep rallies to keep the cheering section on its toes. ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION The task of keeping the men physically fit and or- ganizing all sports activities at William and Mary is in the hands of the Athletic Association. This capable group has a threefold purpose. Their first duty lies in the required physical education courses for every man in college. Civilian as well as army classes were under the direction of such excellent instructors as Rube McCray and Dwight Stuessy. The emphasis in all classes has been on endurance. The strenuous work of these classes has been responsible for the physical fitness of all college men. The direction of the large intramural program is the second duty of the Athletic Association. Through the hard work of Swede Umbach, a league of six teams was organized. Four army and two civilian groups battled it out for prizes in volley ball, basketball, swimming, ping pong, soccer and baseball. Intramurals were one of the most popular and successful features of the sports program this year. The most well-known function of the Athletic Association is to see that William and Mary is properly represented in inter-collegiate sports. In charge of the William and Mary Association is Carl Voyles, head of the Physical Education department. The other members include Dwight Stuessy, Reuben N. McCray, Arnold Umback, Ken Rawlinson, and Glenn Knox. Through their efforts have been ob- tained a spirit of true sportsmanship and a healthy body. CARL M. VOYLES DWIGHT T. STUESSY HOME GAMES Although the war prevented en- tering competitive intercollegiate athletics, the students joined with the army to give the college the teams, the home games, and the spirit It has always had.

It was left to Coach McCray to form a football team out of a green squad which reported in early September for practice. It was a hard task, but in two weeks the new team was moulded and ready for combat. Unsea- soned, but with fighting spirit, the new Frosh team en- countered the ASTU men on Cary Field and were vic- torious. Ready for the road, the Indians tracked to Annapolis where they met their first defeat to the powerful Navy Plebe team, 28-0. The next gridiron battle was held at Builder Stadium THE 1943 FDDT where the Apprentice team outclassed the Indian light- weights and won a 24-6 victory. Unhampered by two previous losses, the Braves took their first home game by beating the Randolph-Macon Yellow Jackets 38-6. Ben Raimondl ' s passing, and a charging line, captained by Bud Galbreath, plowed the way for victory. GUARDS Ocque, Goodman, Bardsley, Allison, Mikuia. TACKLES Caruso Holland Boone.

Once again the 150 pounders contested their previ- ously victorious foes, the 150-pound Apprentice team, this time to lose by a closer score of 26-13, at Cary Field. The last three games of the season were played at home and each one was won. The first was an upset when the fighting Braves met their victorious opponent, the Apprentice School Varsity. This time the Indians were on the war path; came out on top with a 15-0 triumph over their favored foes. The next week saw an upset at Cary Field when the now seasoned squad of army and civilian players trounced the Richmond Army Air Base by 14-6. This proved to be the best and most noteworthy game of the season and a never-to-be-forgotten victory. Thanksgiving, the day awaited by all the Freshmen, came and the Indians were sent out on Cary Field for the last game of the season, to meet the Norfolk Fleet BALL SEASON Marines. This confest decided the fate of the Fresh- men for the Braves rolled up a score of 72-0 to finish a hard-fought season In true William and Mary style. From a green squad, with very few veterans, Coach McCray was capable of beating the top eleven it fought against. The Frosh Indians were tried and proven the best. ENDS LIpInsVy.

With the memory of I9 42 ' s team still fresh, both campus and army men or- ganized teams. It was decided by Coach Rube MrCray that the best combination of these two groups would play for home games while civilians would represent the college on BASKETBALL road trips. The Army soon produced some real basketball talent and captured four of the five starting positions. Captained by Ed Holle the group included Willis Dixon and Bill Turk. The first two became guards while the last two were GUARDS Martin, Och, Swindell, Holle, Brause, Pegram. FORWARDS McClellan. Mann. Parker, Kirk, Dunlap, Di«on forwards. The bucket position was earned by Austin Wriqht, a Williamsburg man. The first team was called the William and Mary regulars and set a dazzling pace. When the four Army men were pulled out of the lineup late in Feb- ruary three of them were among the five highest scorers in the state. The Indians even led the Southern Conference for several weeks. Each man was a fine individual player working to- gether to produce a smooth team. The most exciting game of the year was with the Univer- sity of Richmond. The Indians, rated as the underdogs, staged a thrilling rally in the closing seconds to win by a score of 58-55. Because of army regulations the first team could not leave campus so a Reserve team played the road games. Led by Captain Austin Wright, with Doc White, Jason McClellan, Bill Martin and Bill Peagramin in the other positions, the SEASON, 1943 Reserves built up a strong record among the less powerful teams of the state. Late in February the Reserves became the first team when the four Army regulars were withdrawn. Their gal- lant efforts against overwhelming odds aroused the admiration and support of the entire campus. Tribute must be paid to Coach Rube McCray for his skill and untiring efforts to improve the team. Because of their great showing the bas- ketball team was well supported by the student body. William and Mary did not get a bid to the Southern Conference playoffs because the army men were unable to leave the campus. Despite great obstacles the William and Mary basketball team has proved itself worthy, if not in quality, in spirit of the great teams of the past. Coach McCray and Captain Holle.

MISS MARION D. REEDER MISS ARLENE JACKMAN ATHLETIC ASSDCIATIDN Participation of every woman student is the ainn of the women ' s athletic program at William and Mary. Under the guidance of Miss Martha Barksdale and Miss Marguerite Wynne-Roberts, faculty members, a well-rounded sports program for women has been established. The varsity schedule was not very extensive, due to transportation difficulties, but the competition was keen. The president for the 1943-44 season was Mary Wilson Carver. Sue Lamb served as point recorder and Janet Ginsburg was the secretary. Mary Augusta Williams was the student head of intramurals. Miss Constance M. K. Applebee was again a visitor to William and Mary, augmenting the coaching staff for a time. It was Miss Applebee who first intro- duced hockey in America and her instruction was one of the highlights of our sports year. Managers were: Gloria Rankin, publicity; Kathleen Babin, archery; Edythe Marsh, badminton; Joyce Remsberg, basketball; Marjorie Webster, bowling; Joanne Mencke, dance; Jane Saltzman, fencing; Eleanor Rheuby, hockey; Doris Armor, hostess; Charlotte Timmerman, la crosse; Marlyn Miller, swimming; Martha Macklin, tennis. Intramurals played a leading role in the sports program this season, more than ever before, because of the curtailment of the varsity schedule. Both inter-sorority and inter-dormitory representatives battled for the champion and trophies awarded to the winners. Every girl was included, either through classes or Intramurals, in the well-rounded program of sports at William and Mary and the season closed with success.

Due to the war, Intramurals, including sorori- ties and dormitories, were the only swimming meets this year. A national Intercollegiate Telegraphic Meet had been planned, but lack of facilities for practice periods caused the cancellation. TENNIS Wartime conditions eliminated the varsity this year, but competition In intramurals made up for the loss. The sorority league gave first place to Kappa Alpha Theta, second to Alpha Chi Omega, third to Kappa Kappa Gamma and fourth to Chi Omega. The three dormitories came out in this order: Barrett, Chandler, Jefferson. INTRAMURAL HOCKEY Hockey Intramurals took the place of varsity games this year. One league, comprising the dormitories and a sorority, finished in this order: Jefferson and the sorority team tied for first. Chandler came in third, and Barrett, fourth. The sophomores led the class league, with juniors, second; seniors, third; and freshmen, fourth. BASKETBALL Basketball intram urals constituted the outstanding con- test for the year. Each of the four leagues fought to the end for first place. Placlngs were as follows: sorority teams. Alpha Chi Omega, Pi Beta Phi; dormitory teams, Jefferson, Chandler. 198 ) Basketball playoffs. Bridge in Barrett. Badminton finals. Ping-pong contestants. SPDRTS • • BRIDGE The bridge tournament brought forth the card sharks of the campus. In the finals, the Delta Delta Delta aces defeated the rest for first place and Kappa Alpha Theta, Chi Omega, and Gamma Phi Beta fol- lowed. The dormitories came in: Chandler, first; Jeffer- son, second; and Barrett, third. BADMINTON With April came the badminton season. The sorori- ties and dormitories turned out full force to see who would be most adept at batting the bird back and forth across the net. Chi Omega was the winner of the sorority league and Jefferson won the dormitory league. PING-PONG Ping-pong intramurals were held early in November. In the sorority league, Gamma Phi Beta led, Alpha Chi Omega and Chi Omega tied for second place, and Delta Delta Delta came in fourth. Chandler won In the dormitory league with Barrett and Jefferson coming in second and third. ARCHERY This year archery intramurals were played, reviving a custom allowed to lapse for a year during the 1942-43 season. They were not held until May, however, which was after the ECHO had gone to press. Classes were given In archery In the fall under the direction of Miss Reeder. [199 1 First Row: Patton, Talle.

Miss Margaret H ' Doubler, through her enthusiasm for the dance as an art of expressive gesture, formed Orchesis at the University of Wisconsin twenty-six years ago. As educational dance received public recog- nition, this informal group gradually raised its standards regarding try-outs, membership and meetings. Through these original members. Miss hI ' Doubler laid the foun- dation for an organization which has spread to other campuses where there has been an interest and a demand for the art. Miss Grace Felker brought Orchesis to William and Mary four years ago. The few specific rules of Orchesis are minor when compared to the un- written laws concerning the creative spirit and attitude of the whole group necessary to keep such an or- ganization in existence. Orchesis is a Greek word meaning the dance. Originally the orchestra was a place for the chorus of dancers. Later, as the im- portance of the chorus in drama diminished, the en- tire action took place on the elevated platform, the stage, and the orchestra was given over to musicians. This year ' s Dance Club, under the direction of Miss Arlene Jackman, is divided into Orchesis and Dance Group members. Jean Mencke is president, Florence Metius is secretary-treasurer, and Jean Boyd, historian. DANCE CLUB ANNDTATIDNS Before the Phi Beta Kappa address.
