T CU, „„ Ro L DOES NOT CIRCULATE FROM THE NATION’S CAPITAL THE 1945 CHERRY TREE Presents a reeorfl of the Administrut inn fj lasses Organisations and Activities at THE GEORGE WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY Outstanding in: 509878 DEDICATION To Dr. A. Curtis Wilgus, educator, author, and friend, in appreciation of his service to the University, and in recognition of his achievements in the Inter- American world, the staff is proud to dedicate the 1945 Cherry Tree. Professor Wilgus, who has taught and lectured in thirty colleges and univer- sities in the United States, was appointed in 1930 to the Chair of Hispanic American History at the George Washington University. He served as Chair- man of the Columbian College from 1932 to 1934 and was organizer and first Director of the Center of Inter-American Studies, 1932 to 1937. Dr. Wilgus ' s friendly manner and informal approach, together with his superior knowledge of his field, never fail to arouse in his students respect and admiration for him and enthusiasm for his subject. Dr. Wilgus is an outstanding figure in many Latin-American and educational circles. He has been President since 1935 of the Inter-American Bibliographi- cal and Library Association, delegate to several Pan American Conferences, and has also served in the United States Office of Education and the Office of the Coordinator of Inter-American Affairs. Professor Wilgus has written or edited almost thirty works relating to Latin America, and is a contributor to periodicals, books, and encyclopedias. Listed in the International Who ' s Who and in Who ' s Who in America, and honored by numerous Latin-American so- cieties, Dr. Wilgus was awarded the Medalla de Honor de la Instruccion Publica by President Gomez of Venezuela.

Each one of us has heard the cry, If I could understand the malignancy called war, I might have faith, I cannot see where we are going, and hence I cannot have faith. 1 This is false reasoning. Faith is the evidence of things unseen. Even though you do not under- stand the blooming of the rose, you accept the flower. Tennyson wrote; 11 If I could understand What you are t root and all, and all in all, I should know what Sod and man is, 1 The vandalism of the storm or the destruction of war is no more reason for the loss of faith than the phenomenon of the bursting bud. We under- stand little of either. So let us not be confused. If we believe in our fellow men, we shall be triumphant, for the over- tones of the high beating, ever yearning, human heart shall overcome the screaming shell and put down the bludgeonings of war.

In addition to its regulatory capacity, the Council sponsored numerous social, edu- cational, and charitable events for all-University par- ticipation. The Council opened its social year by giving the Freshmen Mixer to enable entering students to get acquainted. The Mount Vernon Hunt Ball at the Shore- ham Hoteh hiqhlighted by the crowning of the Cherry Tree Beauty Queen, featured a group of dancers from Orchesis who performed a quadrille reminiscent of Mount Vernon days. Four Buff ' n ' Blue (dry Nite Club) Dances were held during the year including one on February 9, the date the University was founded. Other Council-sponsored social activities included the George Washington Birthday Ball and an All-University Sing, an event revived after several years ' inactivity. A Wednesday Evening Lecture Series was sponsored by the Student Council. Speakers included several University professors and men outstanding in business and political circles. The lectures were of general in- I f terest to students and included such topics as The Prospects for Peace in the Far East, and Medicine in Aviation. Several charity drives were held during the year- one for the Community War Fund; another for the National Symphony Orchestra Fund; toys for children at the Barney Neighborhood House and the George- town Settlement House were collected. The Cherry Blossom Drive was continued to provide a scholarship for a student in the School of Government; and a drive to raise money for the World Student Service Fund was initiated on the campus. The students contributed gen- erously to the fund; the newly orqanized Freshman Class gave the proceeds from Its festival to it and the Student Council donated the profit from its George Washington Birthday Ball. The Student Council year culminated in the initiation of conferences with the Administration, the faculty and the students. The first session amicably settled the much-publicized basketball problem, and other confer- ences were scheduled to consider the revival of the Sociology Department, dramatics, and the institution of religious education classes.

The Committee on Student Life serves as the judicial branch of the George Wash- ington ' s system of student gov- ernment. In this capacity, the Committee is active in deter- mining policy concerning the recognition and conduct of extra-curricular organizations, the establishment of new or- ganizations on campus, and the eligibility of candidates for Student Council offices An additional function of the Stu- dent Life Committee is to resolve differences of opinion which may arise between cam- pus organizations. 24 19 4 5 THE GEORGE WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY THE GEORGE WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY 19 4 5 a c v i i y BOTANY Lawson Edwin Yocum, Robert Fisks Griggs.

The activities which climaxed their life at the University were planned by their energetic class officers. The Seniors were scheduled to enjoy Class Night, complete with banquet and prom, on May twenty-fifth, the Baccalaureate Service at the Washington Cathedral the following Sunday, and the reception given them by President and Mrs. Marvin. Convocation on May thirtieth left the Seniors with a new appreciation for George Washington University and its Alma Mater ' ' . . . Hail, Alma Mater! To thy spirit guiding Pledge we fidelity, By thy name abiding. Armoured In courage, Ne ' er from battle hiding, Fearless — each loyal son. For through the darkness Like a lamp is shining Knowledge, thy handmaid, In her strength combining With lofty brotherhood, Ne er her place resigning. Hail, thee, George Washington! For, as thy patron Midst the battle ' s dinning, Clear-eyed and fearless Saw his forces winning, So for the war of life Which we are beginning Arm us, George Washington. 32 UNIVERSITY 19 4 5 THE GEORGE WASHINGTON THE GEORGE WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY 1945 LILLIAN GLADYS ABRAMS . .

Acacia Kappa Alpha Sigma Chi Under the leadership of Stuart Beatson the Interfraternity Council con- ducted the most successful fraternity rushing period since 1941 with eighty- two men balloting. This was an increase of thirty-three per cent over the 1943 pledging. The Council made its first constructive steps toward more rigid rules governing the rush period. Definite rushing rules were established and penalties fixed for failure to comply with the regulations. In red letters on the Interfraternity Council ' s calendar for this year were Dean Kayser’s informal talk on the spirit of fraternities at the annual all-stag smoker, the raising of funds for the underprivileged children’s Christmas party In conjunction with the Pan-Hellenic Council and the Phi Sigma Kappa fraternity, and the traditional Interfraternity Ball. The purpose of the Interfraternity Council is to cultivate a closer relation- ship, to promote scholarship, and to encourage student activities among the fraternities established at George Washington University. Vested in the Council are the power and authority to govern, regulate, supervise, and coordinate the relations and activities in which the member fraternities participate as a group. The Council awards trophies each year for scholar- ship, basketball, golf, tennis, bowling, baseball, ping-pong, and the Song-fest. 19 4 5 THE GEORGE WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY THE GEORGE WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY 19 4 5 OFFICERS JAMES W CHARRIER President FRANK A.

President JOSEPH HOLTZMAN Vice-President SUE BRADLEY , Secretary STEPHEN GRAU6ARD Treasurer On October S, 1943, eight honorably discharged servicemen attending the University organized the first student veterans group on a university campus. The purpose of this organization is to preserve the principles of liberty for which the veterans fought, to assume a share in the responsibility of preventing another war, and to gain a better understanding of the problems confronting them and all the people in the postwar world. On July 28, 1944 the official opening of the Vets club house at 722 22nd Street. N. W. was attended by President Marvin, members of the faculty and Mr. Mc- Cammon, chief of Rehabilitation of the Division of the Veterans Administration, During their first year on campus, the Vets increased their membership to sixty. Any honorably discharged veteran man or woman, of the United States Armed Forces or of those of the Allies is eligible for member- ship, . , , The Veterans have been active in intramurals, winning the 1944 Intramural Football Championship. The first issue of their monthly bulletin The Student Veterans Voice ' was published in January.

Take sugar and spice and all things nice, mix well, and out come the AD Pi’s. Well repre- sented in everything from beauty contests to the war effort are the Alpha Delta Pi ' s . . . Prov- ing that advertising pays, they used signs in their goat show skit, The Little Snow Princess, and won second place. Nancy Hanck supplied talent for the show and also helped out in USO shows and on the Hatchet. The AD Pi ' s do not neglect the academic side of life, their shining example being Mary Beth Sheppard, Mortar Board President and member of Phi Beta Kappa . . . Sara Bohannon brought home two major honors — third place in Secreta ry Treasurer the Cherry Tree beauty contest, and second in the Veterans ' contest. These girls were busier than many with their war work . . . Their pet project was the waste paper salvage drive, and they collected books for the Merchant Marine library . . . They owned private stock in an English war orphan, and packed Christmas boxes for the WAVES, and contributed to relief for China. Exchanqe dinners and dances with the frater- nities, parents and patronesses teas, an active- pledge weiner roast, and beach parties were all a part of the Alpha Delta Pi year . . .

Everything but the front door is new . . . Walk- ing into Apartment 41 with Its blonde furniture and its blue, gray and yellow color scheme is like walking into an ultra-modern Swedish apart- ment. In cooperation with their national project, the Zetas did war work as a group . . . They do- nated their blood, they rolled bandages at Walsh House, they did hostess work at the USO, and every Thursday they visited the patients of Walter Reed ... In addition they contributed to the National Organization which donated a $2,500 mobile unit to the Red Cross. The glamour girls of the chapter were Mary Frances Edward, Inez Lester, and Virginia Jones. Scholastic honors were won by Spanish Club President Mary Bagby, owner of a Phi Beta Kappa key. The walking school calendar is Darh! Foreman, program chairman of the Student Council and Zeta ' s Pan-Hellenic representative. I ' m sorry I can ' t go because the Zetas are having a party, Is a familiar phrase because the Zetas love to have bridge, bowling and skat- ing parties ... To end the year with a restful and guiet week, th ey have the annual houseparty at Tall Timbers . . . Those social events which were i.n red letters on their calendar were the formal pledge banquet held at the Manor, the slumberless Christmas party in the rooms, and the spring formal. The alumnae played Santa Claus and gave the Zetas a holiday party and presented the chapter with a check to purchase more of those swish blonde divans . . . Whether in the Student Club, in class, in New York, or on the campus the Zeta shield is shining brightly.

The result of the conference was the founding of Themian which was approved by the Stu- dent Life Committee in March, 1944. A local social sorority, Themian was designed to promote friendship and an interest in school activities in a group of con- genial girls. Themis, the ancient Greek goddess, who personifed law and order, is the basis of the club ' s name. In addition to miscellaneous buffet suppers, rush teas, and chocolate parties, some of which were held in the sorority s suite in Building K, the girls have had several outstanding gatherings. In May, 1944 the first annual banquet and initiation of officers was held.

And the Home of the Brave opened the dramatic season in November, and was followed a month later by Night Must Fall, a psychological murder story. In March the musical show Roberta was presented, and the season closed in April with an historical drama. Through the Cue and Curtain Artist Bureau, talent was supplied for school functions such as Buff ' rT Blues and assemblies, for many private Washington affairs, for the hospitals, the USO, and the Stage Door Canteen. Within Cue and Curtain, workshop plays were produced, directed, and written by the students. These plays, staged with a minimum of scenery and costumes, were designed to train the members in all phases of drama. Other highlights of the year to the thespians were the talk by Sam Pearce of the Theater Guild on The Cherry Orchard , and the traditional spring banquet. At the latter, awards were announced, and plans were laid for the increasing progress of Cue and Curtain Scenes from , . . And the Home of the Brave.

At times Orchesis was on the other side of the foot lights getting inspiration from the great artists in the field of Dance An outstanding occasion was the Martha Graham Concert for the Tenth Festival of Chamber Music at the Library of Congress at which performance Orchesis members were guests. The Dance Concert this year was presented in Lisner Autrtorium An increase in Dance consciousness among the student body has been reflected in a continued growth in membership from one group to three large working groups. 133 MEN SPOUTS 9 Chi football team, Interfrater nity champions, . . . Veterans vs. Lloyd fMee, winner of the Touchdown trophy. fm f X J L si £ W ■ ' T ' % mm A . 1 SL Intramural sports at G. W. U. gained prestige by leaps and bounds during 1944 as six teams put on gridiron exhibitions which were thrilling and exciting to the crowd of onlookers who at- tended the games. After going through the regular season with a record of five wins and no losses, and with an unbelievable record of never having been scored against and having only two first downs chalked up against them, the Sigma Chi Fraternity team bowed down in the Cham- pionship fray to a fighting-mad and once-de- feated Veterans ' Club gridiron aggregation, 12-0. Third place in the league went to Phi Alpha and Sigma Alpha Epsilon who ended in a dead- lock, with two wins, two losses and one tie. For the first time in the history of the Univer- sity an all-star, all-league team was picked. Players were chosen by the captain of each team 19 4 5 THE GEORGE WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY THE GEORGE WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY 19 4 5 EXCITING MOMENTS in the league and the two league officials. The two top teams, Sigma Chi and the Vets, ran off with eight places, Siqma Chi placing five men and the Veterans ' Club, three. Phi Alpha, Sigma Alpha Epsilon and Kappa Alpha each placed one man to round out the team. Even bigger doings were expected in the ten team intramural basketball league which was formed at the close of the gridiron season. With four fraternity teams, four teams from the medical school, one team from the school of pharmacy and the Veterans’ Club, the intramural outlook for basketball was a very bright one. On the basis of the ten games already played in the league it looked as if the battle for the basketball trophy would fall into the hands of one of the teams from the medical school, or the veteran pharmacy team, which numbers on its 135 M l N SPORTS 9 Intercollegiate basketball— To be or not to be?

The sport which has received the greatest Im- petus since the beginning of the war has been boxing. Under the close and careful instruction of George Doc Lentz, university trainer, the boxing tournament last year proved to be not only the best attraction of the year, but also ended as the major spectator sport at the Uni- versity with over 500 people attending last year ' s tournament. With the outlook bright for a varsity boxing team after the war, ’ , Doc ,, Lentz has whipped up an even better concoc- tion of pugilists for this year. The tournament was scheduled for the early April. In a short, late-spring round-robin last year, WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY 19 4 5 THAT OLD FIGHTING SPIRIT the medical school walked off with the intra- mural baseball championship, as they defeated the Sea-Bee team 8-2. Biggest news of the year came when Lloyd Price, Sigma Chi athlete, won the Touchdown Club Award given annually to the outstanding Intramural player at the University. Price was judged winner on the basis of his athletic prow- ess and organizing ability. The Physical Education Department stated that if possible every major and minor sport will be attempted at the University as part of the Intramural Program. Only basketball and foot- ball and boxing have definitely been scheduled but ping-pong, badminton, handball, and pos- sibly swimming may be included in the intra- mural set-up. 137 WOMEN ' S SPORTS BETTY JUNE KARLE WOMEN ' S ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION Under the leadership of Betty June Karle, the Women ' s Athletic Association began its Fall season with a square dance party in October. A group from Orchesis performed and the or- ganization and purpose of W.A.A. were ex- plained to the newcomers by the President. The executive boards, made up of officers elected bv the W.A.A. members and sports managers elected by the classes, met weekly to plan the association’s activities. This year the member- ship, open to girls who have received at least seventy-five points for participating in a team or individual sport, or dance, reached a total of 165.

Through the War Activities group, GWAROS, the associa- tion sponsored Red Cross blood donor drives. Each year at the spring banquet the two out- standing athletes and the outstanding member are presented with awards. INTER-SORORITY ATHLETIC BOARD The purpose of the Inter-Sorority Athletic Board, which is made up of one delegate and her alternate from each sorority, is to promote inter-sorority sports and to encourage friendly rivalry between the groups by sponsoring at least five tournaments a year in such sports as volley ball, bowlino, badminton, basketball and swimming. Each sorority sponsors a tournament and at the end of the year a cup is presented to the sorority which has accumulated the most points during the year. CLASSES The Women ' s Physical Education staff — Miss Atwell, Miss Lawrence, Miss Burtner, Mrs. Woodson, Mrs. Deane, Mrs. Craig, Miss Taylor and Mrs. Poorman — directed the sports classes. In soccer the upperclass teams were victorious in all their games and at the Hood College Field Day the two George Washington teams upheld past tradition by winning both games. Tennis enthusiasts found a chance for competition in the singles tournament held in the fall and the doubles tournament held in the spring. Several players represented G. W, at the annual meet with Hood College. During the hockey season games were played with the Washington Field Hockey Association, Trinity College and Hood College. George Washington teams chalked up an equal number of wins and losses in these competitions, Jeanne 139 WOMEN ’ S Read being the outstanding player. The riding season was climaxed by a Riding Show held at the Rock Creek Park Stables with events for both beginning and advanced riders.

Because the Foundation’s religious view includes every phase of life it also enjoyed many social activities. Three retreats were held at R ' ockwood Manor near the Poto- mac River during the school year. Chopping wood, hiking, and loafing took up much of the time. Morning services were held with guest speakers delivering the talks: Rev C. Stewart McKenzie, pastor of Western Presbyterian Church, spoke at the first retreat; Rev. William Gleysteen, missionary from China spoke on Christian Outreach among China ' s students, ' 1 and Rev, James Albertson, pastor of Bethesda Presbyterian Church spoke on The unique duties of a Christian student ' . Evening vespers were conducted outdoors around a fire. There was a canoe party early in the Fall. Most of the parties were held in Recreation Hall. For example, a costume party was given at Hallowe’en with games, the traditional ducking for apples, and plenty of cider and donuts for refreshments. Jimmy Huddleston told one of Poe ' s stories which fitted the occasion. Other parties included a square dance, and several get-togethers in students ' homes. 145 MmmmmmTs We, the staff of the 1945 Cherry Tree, wish to express our sincere appreciation to the following for their gener- ous aid and co-operation: To Mr, Shepard and the members of the Publications Committee; To Mrs. Green and Mrs. Lacey of the Comptroller ' s office; To the Student Council; To the Hatchet ; To Mr. John T.
