To the Alumni of the P st, Present, and Future: In this yearbook we are departing from the style of previous attempts in an effort to give you a full picture of our daily school life, curricular and extracurricular, here at George Washington l niversity. Herein we propose to show to you the strides made within the past years (with the help of our alumni) and to acquaint you with the plans for the future that our University has made. To help you follow our activities we have endeavored to provide continuity by the use of almanac form. And we hereby express our thanks and appreciation to Ben Franklin ami his Poor Richard. who have been our pattern and inspiration. SEPTEMBER Think of three Things y whence you came y where you are going , and to whom you must account. Poor ' Richard , 1755 September 1948 Courteous Reader: The playing of sports took the prominent position during this merry month of September, with the G. W. U. Colonials successfully competing in football games with Wake Forest and V. P. I., both being institutions of higher learning and located in North Carolina and Virginia. Poor George says that our team consisted of spirited gentlemen who fought gamely, though losing one of these contests. On the 18th day of the month olde students pre-registered for the fall term and resolved t o perform their lessons more studiously than in the past. Upon their registration at the later date in the month, new students were presented with the University Handbook, which most clearly shewed them of the campus and student activities. 6 With the success of the G.W.-V.P.I. game in Sep- tember, the worth of the new Colonial coaching staff became noticeable. However, Coach Bo Rowland s assistants, apparently modest fellows, have thus far remained mainly in the background. Nevertheless, their contributions were most valuable in the de- velopment of the team. Assistant coach Bo Sherman must be given credit for his work in welding the tough Colonial line, and also for keeping the morale of the team on such a high plane. But certainly not to be overlooked are the contributions made by as- sistant coaches Roger Antaya, Tim Swett, and Andy Victor. Antaya assisted Rowland and Sherman; Swett and Victor built and developed a fine fresh- man squad which promises to provide the ’49 Varsity eleven with new talent. Line Coach Bo Sherman.

( THE UNIVERSITY HANDBOOK “The history of the George Washington University begins as an idea in the mind of the ‘Father of Our Country.’ George Washington had long proposed the founding of a university in ‘our capital city,’ and to assure the enactment of this plan, he pro- vided in his will for the endowment of an institution ‘to which the youth of fortune and talents from all parts . . . might be sent for the completion of their education in all branches of polite literature; in arts and sciences; in acquiring knowledge in the principles of politics and good government.’ ”... So the questioning freshman and the transfer students are first informed of this University through our Student Handbook, which this year was given free to all stu- dents. In addition to being a student’s pocket-guide to the activities on campus, a general outline of the organizations and a directory are contained within the book. The Handbook continues: “Today, the University, in all its diverse branches, has become one of the nation’s leading seats of higher education and research, following a great tradition of which we may all be proud.” . . . 10 z OCTOBER Silence is not always a Sign of W isdom , But Babbling is ever a Folly . Poor Richard , 1758. October 1948 Courteous Reader: Poor George presents the followi ng elegy in memory of “Full Time Leisure which passed away October 4. . . . Come let us mourn, for we have lost Our full time recreation Which has lately taken flight, and Greatly we have mist it. “Leisure, however, left a ghost; for the remainder of the month has been a merry one with many amusements. Previously, on October 2, the Colonials fans lament ' d the loss of a football game to V. M. I. The game mark’d mascot George’s initial appearance as the Colonial “Bringer of Luck.” “ What is a social butterfly? At best it’s but a bookworm drest ,” and, in truth, new students did lay aside their hooks, dress in their best and attend the gay and somewhat maddening sorority and fraternity rush parties. As it was truly a continuous rush from one party to another, these events actu- ally lived up to their titles. On October 9, the Colonials follow’d Poor George’s suggestion that “ Industry makes all things easy ” and travel’d to Charlottesville and over- came the University of Virginia in a football game for the first time since 1897, the score being 20 to 12. However, all was not Folly and Sport. A group of speakers sponsored by the Current Affairs Club held a forum concerning National Elections on the 20th. Poor George is convinced that the most important events of this busy month center’d around the annual Homecoming Festivities and activities. Nearly a month before the Homecoming game of football with Maryland, Testudo the Turtle disappear ' d from Maryland territory thereby arousing the wrath of Maryland scholars. All circumstances of things consider’d. Poor George says that Homecoming prov’d of utmost value to the felicity of the month. On Tuesday. October 26, the young ladies of Strong Hall were hostesses at a tea-party honouring Mrs. Hattie M. Strong, the founder of the dormi- tory. It also happen’d that on October 30. the Modern Dance Group attended a symposium at Wilson College in Pennsylvania, while on the same day the stalwart and spirited Colonials travel’d to Easton for a clash with the Lafayette eleven. 12 No portrayal of a year of campus life would be complete without a recognition of the men who guide us through that oft-neglected phase of our scholarly ca- reers. our studies. Few will ever forget the introduction to economic theory pro- vided by Doctor Miller, with the unique graphs that really are perfectly under- standable your third time through the course. The counseling given by Doctor Burns to struggling Government majors is also of great value, for he is the one man who actually can explain the com- plexities of a group option. Above all, Doctor Hansen soon communicates to us his avid enthusiasm for zoology and the depicted skate. The first day of classes is always a refreshing preview of the work to come and the confusion to reign. Assistant Professor Albert Miller of the Economics Department.

The first event was held on the first Monday of the school year in Lisner Auditorium where the Glee Club opened the cere- mony by singing the Alma Mater. President Marvin then delivered the principal orientation speech, followed by Student Council President ' Bill Warner, who further welcomed the Freshmen in behalf of the student body. The cheerleaders then led a few rousing cheers, and all were urged to attend the activities display in the lower lobby, where the major campus organizations explained their functions and recruited new members. The fol- lowing Friday, the Orientation Pro- gram was concluded by a dance held in the Gymnasium. President Marvin and other Officers, Deans, and dignitaries of the University received the new students, and all were given a chance to become better accpiainted throughout the evening.

Big Sisters is a campus organization composed of upper class women who aid new stu- dents to The University in “making themselves at home.” At the opening of school in the fall term, besides individual counseling, Big Sisters whole- heartedly helped in Freshman orientation. Included in the events were a coffee hour before registration, a reception and tea. a Nosebag Lunch, and finally a panel discussion for all new students in which members of Mortar Board took part. Guiding the new women students in their orientation activities were the officers of Big Sis: Mildred McDowell, president; Louise Odineal, vice president; Sylvia Srnka, registrar; Barbara Stone, corresponding secretary; Ann Arnold, treasurer; Peggy Babcock and Betty Swanson, membership secretaries; Dede Thompson, music chairman; Joan Suppes, social chairman; Wilma Bailey, publicity chairman. Members of Big Sis gather in Strong Hall Lounge. 18 October COLONIAL BOOSTERS “George, the new Colo - nial mascot , is intro- duced at the University of Virginia game. Colonial Boosters was founded in August of this year, by ODK members in response to a widespread demand for an organization which would foster greater support of the University football team. An executive committee composed of members of ODK, the Student Council, the Hatchet. Mortar Board. The Homecoming Committee, the Cheer- leaders. the Interfraternity Council, and Pan-Hel, was founded to draw up plans for bigger pep rallies, create a suitable mascot, and form a student cheering section. In three short months Colonial Booster memberships had jumped from around 30 to over 800 members, making it the second largest organization of its kind in the country. During the football season. Colonial Boosters publicized and planned over fifteen campus pep rallies in conjunction with the cheerleaders. ‘ George,” the popular G. W. mascot, was originated and took a leading part in all rallies and football entertainment. Under the leadership of Colonial Boosters, half-time entertainment improved immensely over that of preceding years and was highlighted by such things as the crack Army Drill Team and the Air Forces Band exhibition.

Festivities included the crowning of the Homecoming Queen Friday night, the G. W.- Maryland game Saturday and the Homecoming Dance at Uline Arena Saturday evening. Lisner Auditorium was ahlaze with lights and among the visiting celebrities were Jay Carmodv, Evening Star drama critic who acted as Master oi Ceremonies; Arch MacDonald and Dave Pollen, who together with Dean Henry Grattan Doyle judged the Homecoming Queen contest. Saturday morning at 10:30 alumni registered in Columbian House. Cups were awarded to Pi Beta Phi and Pi Kappa Alpha for bringing hack the most number of alumni from their chapters to this Homecoming. The Parade formed on campus and proceeded to Griffith Stadium, passing the judges’ stand on Constitution Avenue, where the floats of Sigma Nil. Tail Kappa Epsilon and The Sailing Association were judged first, second and third respectively. Following the unfortunate Homecoming game, the gala Homecoming Ball was held at Uline Arena with the newly crowned queen, Lois Anne Brackett, Sigma Kappa’s candidate, presiding.

Poor Richard , 1751. November 1948 Courteous Reader: October being concluded and the Homecoming business therefore at an end. Pi Beta Phi, Kappa Delta, Chi Omega, and Delta Zeta honored their pledges at formal dancing parties, these affairs being reported notable successes. Among other social events at which various scholars reported having laughed, danced, and had a thoroughly delightful time, were the Hillel Ball of Fire at which Scholar Joe Buell was crowned “Apollo” by Miss Jody Miller; the Sigma Chi Pirates Ball, a very gay affair; and the Canterbury Club Barn Dance, which was indeed a colorful event. The campus was truly lively with activity on the weekend of the 20th. On Friday the Bender Building, the new home of campus activity offices, was warmed considerably as the new occupants moved in. Friday evening, many scholars gathered in the Student Club for another Buff “n” Blue dance with the music being supplied by a gentleman named Larry Laine. Satur- day afternoon the Colonials undertook the truly public-spirited project of administering defeat to the Georgetown University Hoyas in a game of foot- ball and verily succeeded in this noble project with a score of 13 to 7. This business was concluded successfully for the first time in the 58 years in which Colonial teams have met with the Hoyas in the playing of football. Earlier in the month the Colonial gentlemen were victorious over The Citadel with the score being 14 to 0, and had met with less success in a football game with Duke University. University music lovers gathered in Lisner Auditorium on the 10th for a Fall concert of the Air Force Concert Orchestra and Glee Club, which was, as last year, very entertaining and enjoyable to the audience. On November 14th, gentlemen scholars on campus were invited on a tour of Strong Hall for the first time in its 12 years’ history; the inspection was very orderly, and the gentlemen are said to have immensely enjoyed it. Also Fall convocation, Class Elections, and Cheerleader auditions were prominent happenings in October. 34 At the presentation ceremonies were Dr. Eliot W adsworth, President Marvin , Mr. tf . S . Pratt , and Mr. Douglass Poteat. On December 7, 1948. the District Division of the National Office of the American Cancer Society and the National Office of the American Cancer Society presented The University with a total of $32,500 for the purpose of cancer research. Twenty- thousand dollars of the grant was presented by the District Division, while $12,500 was contributed by the national office of the Society. Present on the occasion were Doctor Eliot Wadsw orth, vice president of the District of Columbia Division of the American Cancer Society; Mr. Douglass Poteat, executive vice president of the American Cancer Society; Mr. W. S. Pratt, of the Warwick Memorial Clinic; and Doctor Cloyd H. Marvin, president of the University.

During the Christmas season, the Phi Mu’s held one party for Bill Herson’s Doll House and another for their mem- bers. In the field of activities, Jane Shanks and Pat Purcell were honored by being chosen to Delphi, while Jane Shanks was tapped for Mortar Board. In addition, Jane was also selected as one of GWU’s representatives for 1949 in Who’s Who in American Colleges and Universities. Following exams a tea was held for Belgium’s Dr. Elaine Hoebeke, here on a Phi Mu fellowship. On March 4, a Founder’s Day banquet was held in celebration of the fraternity’s 97th birthday.

On that evening the Washington Club was the scene of gay festivity, as alumnae, actives, and pledges danced and mingled with their guests. The climax of the evening came at eleven o’clock, when each pledge was presented to the gathering under a flowered archway, a circlet of carnations wreathing her hair. Throughout the rest of the year, the Pi Phi’s were kept ever busy with the Homecoming float, the Goat Show, the Charity Drive, the Panhellenic Sing, and the May Day booth. Numerous chapter parties rounded out the days, and the Pi Phi’s can look back on 1948-1949 as a hectic but wonderful year.

Poor Richard, December 1948 To ye jolly fools, I should be very much straiten’d for room if 1 should even attempt to discover half the elegance of this very merrie month, however I cannot omit the observation that “as charms are nonsense, nonsense is charm.” This observation truly brings into mind the night of Dec. 17th at which time many scholars gathered at the campus vendue of theatrics to witness the extreme and clever folly of their usually staid and stern professors. Lisner was also the scene of two other evenings of performance earlier in the month: on Dec. 3rd, the University Players romped through their initial showing of John Loves Mary,” and on December 10th all sorority pledge groups clowned their way through the Pan-Hel Goat Show. Verily, Poor George said to all Bookish lads, weary at the end of a bookish day, “Up, sluggard, and waste not life; in the grave will be sleeping enuf ” The Bookish lads took heed and in reply danc’d and truly play’d ’til the dim wee hours at such successful parties as the EX Sweetheart Dance, the SAE Bal Bolieme, the Pi KA Shipwreck Ball and I 2K Formal. Little strokes fell great oaks ” hut sadly the score is even with the scales balanced at four wins and four losses in the eight games of basketball which were played during this month against the following institutions: North Carolina State, Washington and Lee, VMI, VPI, Richmond, Quantico, and Virginia. Amongst the many happenings which departed from scholasticism were the Student Bar Association Dance, The Frostbite Regatta and Ball, and numerous Pledge Formals introducing the Pledge Classes of KKG, DG, EK, ADPi, and KA0. As that rotund gentleman of “Points North” was busily engag’d in the task of checking lists, industrious schoolmen flit’d from one Christmas Party to another, heeding Poor George’s adage “Some are study wise, others are party wise and thus with bounteous cheer prepared to conclude the New Year. This has been a truly good month with much pudding and since no other author has taken the least notice of me, so that did not my writings contain some solid pudding, the great deficiency of praise would have quite dis- couraged me. And now because tho’ “ Silence is not alivays a sign of wis- dom, but babbling is ever a folly” I bring these comments to a close. 64 PI BETA PHI FACULTY TEA Every year , Pi Beta Phi sorority holds an “Apple Polishing” tea jor the faculty. Not only are the profs treated to some of the best hospitality on the campus , but as they leave , they are each presented with a big red apple to mark the occasion. Some of the University professors relax at the Pi Phi tea held for them at the sorority rooms. The tea was originated to promote better understanding between the students and their professors. 65 STUDENT BAR ASSOCIATION DANCE The Student Bar Association was formed to promote the interests of law students in the legal profession, and to promote the professional and social activities of law students at George Washington University. At their professional functions they present outstanding men in the legal profession as speakers. Another function of the Student Bar Association is the Case Club which affords first- and second-year students an opportunity to argue cases before an appellate court composed of three judges from the law school faculty, practicing attorneys, and third-year students. The Association is also engaged in finding positions for the young lawyers. The social activities of the group include the annual fall dance at the Wardman Bark Hotel held on December second and th e Spring Dance held in March. Since April. 1948, the students of the law school revitalized the activities of the Student Bar Association under the leadership of their officers and the following chair- men: Lars Jensen, Chairman of the Case Club; Ralph and James Miller, Co-Chairmen of the Social Committee; George Wicker, Chairman of the Placement Committee; and Robert Gingell.

It is also designed to prepare students for public service as lawyers in the Federal and State governments. In 1900 the School took part in the organization of the Associ- ation of American Law Schools and it has been a member of the Association since that time.

Nineteen Forty-Eight 67 At the Founders ' Day Dance PHI SIGMA SIGMA Phi Sigma Sigma has enjoyed a busy and successful year. An outstanding social event was the Founders Day Dinner-Dance at Brook Farm. Guests included the alums, and Dorothy Linowes, a former G.W. Phi Sig, who is now the Southern Division Advisor. Keys were awarded to Nadia Messing and Harryette Schwartz as outstanding members of the sorority. Other social affairs included a Sadie Hawkins Day party at which prizes were given for the best vegetable corsage made by a girl for her date; an open house for the members of Hillel; a Founders’ Day Banquet at Broadmoor along with the Beta Alpha Chapter from Maryland University; and an installation dance for the pledge group. The Phi Sigma Sigma Pledge Group proudly took the third place in the Goat Show, with their skit ’lhe Farmers Merry-Go-Round . The skit portrayed the national political situation of the day.

On December third and fourth, the University Players skipped lightly through a realistic comedy entitled “John Loves Mary.” The play was directed by Dr. Natalie White, and the leading roles of Mary and John were played by Katherine Hall and Eugene Picciano. “John Loves Mary” is the story of a returning serviceman and the girl he left behind. The reunion would have been rosy had John not returned with an Eng- lish bride as a favor to a buddy — yes, the situation was complicated, confusing, and funny! The Players’ performance, a great success, was the Washington Premiere of the light comedy. JOHN LOVES MARY lint that caviar is for John! Nineteen Forty-Eight 71 The Delta Gammas presented an- other lovely pledge class to l niversity society at their annual Pledge Formal last Fall, at the Kenwood Country Club. Also the group entertained with a Christmas party at which dolls were collected for the Bill Herson Doll House, and an informal get-together in honor of their parents. During the 1948-1949 season, the D.G.’s won many inter-sorority athletic honors. In January, the sorority won first place in both the tennis and bowl- ing tournaments.

Led by co-captains Tom Pence and Betty Talley, the present squad of fifteen has cheered at all games and even entertained with half-time marching stunts. About fifty applicants were auditioned last fall, the ten girls and five boys now making up the squad having been chosen by a jury of campus leaders. Appearance, voice, personality, and ability to execute the cheers were the major points considered by the judges in making the selections. With weekly practices, the squad continues to improve their routines and work up new cheers, aiming at better and better student enthusiasm. Not letting the teams down . the entire cheerleading squad turns out to lead the students in Yea Buff ' s and No. 16 ' s at one oj the basketball games.

From Eskimos to Hottentots, from Hindus to Egyptians, all members of the human race, and a few sub-human species, too, we fear, flock to the Bal. And some- how the SAEs manage to recover and remain active throughout ihe rest of the year. A spring formal highlights the second semester, and the house is seldom quiet on a Saturday night. Aside from their party-giving talents, the SAEs also furnish the campus with many of its leading lights. Don Sparks is advertising manager of The HATCHET, while John Donaldson takes care of the news. Pete Smith handles publicity for the Student Council, and is also publicity director of Colonial Boosters, as well as being social chairman of Gate and Key. John Douglas served as co-director of the Homecoming Committee, and one must not forget Bill Spangler, well-known back on the football squad.

ALPHA CHAPTER of PHI PI EPSILON, Foreign Service fraternity for women, was founded at the University in 1931 in order to give the women foreign service students encouragement and further interest in international affairs and related subjects. Since its inception on campus. Phi Pi Epsilon has made great strides along this line.

May we ne’er forget each other, nor our friendship cease to grow.” Eta Chapter schedules a well-rounded program of professional and social meetings, often in conjunction with Phi Pi Epsilon, the women’s counterpart.

Nineteen Forty-Eight 109 VARSITY BASKETBALL After what was generally agreed upon as a successful football season the Colonials quietly plunged into their 1948-49 basket- ball schedule with high hopes and pros- pects. although the absence of head coach Otts Zahn seemed to dim their chances slightly. After their opening win against Quan- tico, the local five began their “off and on winning streak which continued through the Christmas holidays. Early in the season the members of last year’s squad and the newcomers began to show their comparative merits. As it later developed Coach “Jug” Garber formed a fast working starting five from among the newcomers and last year’s hold-overs.

Courtney Rogers Draper, an alumnus of the University who was killed aboard a Japanese trans- port sunk by American Forces in the China Sea while evacuating prisoners of war from the Philippines during the closing days of the Pacific campaign. A member of Phi Delta Theta Fraternity, Lt. Draper attended the University of Utah before coming to G.W., where he received the Bachelor of Laws degree in 1937 while holding a commission as second lieutenant in the Officers Reserve Corps. Although instructed as an artillery officer, Lt. Draper was assigned as assistant adjutant at the Presidio in San Francisco upon entering active duty in July, 1941. In August he was sent to the Philippines, where he was attached to the Air Force, and was at Clark Field at the outbreak of hostilities with Japan. Captured at Mindanao, where he was in charge of defending forces. Lt. Draper had rejected an opportunity to escape and had remained behind to aid in the evacuating of nurses and other Air Force personnel. He learned the Japanese language and served as prisoners’ liaison officer at Mindanao until 1943. The Japanese transferred him from Mindanao to Cabanatuan, and then to Bil ibid. Increasing pressure from the Americans forced enemy evacuation of the Philippines; the prisoner of war ship carrying Lt. Draper to Japan was sunk in December 1944. He was awarded the Purple Heart posthumously in August 1945, and a tribute was offered to his memory at the last annual meeting of the Utah Bar Association, with which he had previously been affiliated while he practiced law in Salt Lake City. The decision to name the dormitory at 22nd and G Streets, N.W., Draper Hall came after the veterans determined by popular vote to honor an alumnus of the University who lost his life during the war. 112 December ACACIA XMAS FORMAL OFFICERS: Garabad Arkoian, Venerable Dean Walter D.

January 1949 Courteous Reader, W hat signifies knowing the names if you know not the nature of things ? . . . Poor George refuses to observe the dull rules of critics in undertaking to discuss the nature of the four concerts presented during January by the Air Force Concert Orchestra in Lisner Auditorium and being sponsor ' d by our own noble Student Council. The orchestra members truly obey’d George’s advice: “ Hide not your talents, they for use were made: What ' s a sundial in the shade? Verily, their haunting melodies made a deep impression on the scholarly music lovers present at these delightful per- formances. Methinks that one of the most exciting events of this month was the game of basketball between the Colonials and the Manhattan team, as it was the center of a most insidious plot containing the treacherous element of bribery. The three dishonest Knaves involv ' d might have succeeded in their foul business had they not overlook ' d what Poor George had truly said, “ Pre- sumption first blindes a man, then sets him running ,” hut thereby they failed because publick-spirited Shapiro prov’d their “presumption oh so blinde”! The Colonials also play ' d three other games this month with North Carolina State, V.M.I., and Georgetown hut these truly had none of the sauce of the Manhattan game. “ Enjoy the present hour George says, and this many scholars did at the two major social events before the time for olde-fashioned pre-exam cram- ming. These were the KA Tacky Ball and the Theta Delta Chi Bowery Ball, both being reported as very interesting partees. On the twentieth of January, a number of students participated in the Inauguration Day Parade. The University float represented the various schools within the institution and was truly an impressive structure. In connection with the Inaugural festivities. Sigma Nil Fraternity entertained their Congressional members with a reception. Also during this month the Women’s Recreation Association had a banquet, as did TKE in honor of their Founder’s Day. A week or so before exams, a scholar remark’d in composition class and truly so, “Clearly spoken, Miss Fogg, you explain English by Greek!” Other scholars found once more that, as Poor George says, “ You may Delay, but Time will not . . . yes, the time for those dread’d finals had approach’d almost, say some, without warning. Yet scholars lived through the week, and at the end Poor George observ’d that “ after crosses and losses, scholars grow humbler and wiser 122 Left above: Maynard Haithcock, G.fP ' .U. co-captain , retrieves the ball during the Manhattan game.

Basketball Captain Becomes Hometown Hero Dave Shapiro, playing his last year as a member of the George Washington Univer- sity basketball squad, rose from the ranks of the obscure and became a nation-wide figure over-night. GWU’s co-captain was instrumental in the round-up of a ring of four New York gangsters who had approached him during the summer of 1948, hoping that he would throw a basketball game during the 1948-49 season. Shapiro successfully stalled these men until he was able to contact the New York D.A.’s office and inform him of the proposi- tion which had been set before him. The result of this meeting eventually led to the capture of these four men on the evening of the George Washington-Manhattan game which was held in Madison Square Garden. Playing under a tremendous amount of tension, Shapiro saw action during a great part of this upset victory for the Colonials and, as was generally agreed, played one of the best games of his collegiate career. « In addition to making headlines through- out the country, Dave Shapiro was featured in TIME magazine and on several radio programs. A law student at this University, Shapiro is assured of a job on graduation from many grateful citizens of New York City. 123 KAYSER YS KYSER On January third.

Holding true to the purpose of their Fraternity, Theta Delta Chi has striven to achieve scholastic and social improvement in both curricula and extra-curricula activities. Beyond maintaining a scholastic average much higher than the University All Men ' s Average, the Oaky Doakes use their G-Street headquarters to great advantage for weekend parties, open houses and exchange dances. Athletic prowess is not lacking either, as the Oaky Doakes are strong contenders in every intramural sport. Events highlighting the year include the Bowery Ball, a Charge trip to the Brother Charge at the University of Virginia for the G.W.-Va. football game and the Sweet- heart Dance. Nineteen Forty-Nine 135 INAUGURAL FLOAT Last January 20th, Inauguration Day, The George Washington University set a precedent by being the first university in the nation to be represented in an Inaugural Parade. Sponsored by The HATCHET, the float was prepared by every major campus group. Plans for the float were drawn by capable Bob Dentz, while construction was carried out by student volunteers. The theme of the float was “George Washington University prepares today ' s students as tomorrow ' s leaders.” Four sections were cut through the float and contained symbolic scenes depicting the efforts of the four major schools of the University — Law, Medicine. Government, and Engineering. Purely a student project from conception to completion, the float was financed by the University. Frank Simmons acted as financial manager of the advisory committee. Bob Klein of Independent Students Association was personnel manager, and Jack Voneiff of Omicron Delta Kappa handled special arrangements.

Music for the gathering was provided by numerous nationally known bands by way of the record collection of one of the University fraternities. Refreshments were sold and potato chips and pretzels were provided from the class treasury. This dance was notably a success because, for the first time in many years, a slight profit was realized. Funds to put on the affair were loaned to the Junior Class by the Student Council and returned after the get-together. Later in the year, the Junior and Senior Classes are planning to sponsor a joint formal dance in one of the Washington hotels. BRODIE COLBERT, INC. LEWIS F. COLBERT, C.P.M., Pres.

A new radio-phonograph and a redecorated apartment, presented by their Washington alumnae, greeted the Zetas upon their return to school in the Fall, and helped to perk up their spirits during the weary hours of rush week. Fall was filled with open houses, ex- change dances, and midterms. On Founders Day, the Washington Zetas were visited by their National President, Miss Helen Harrison. Just before the Christmas holidays, the alumnae gave a party for the actives, and during the holidays the chapter met for bridge and delicious food at the home of Eileen Cum- mings, wh ere they learned of Ruth Ann Ramsdell’s engagement and of Betty Ann Beall ' s appointment as publicity chairman of the Senior Class. After a gala Pledge Formal in January, the Zetas settled down to serious study for the approaching finals. In the Spring, activities included a Mother’s Day tea, and an initiation and awards banquet.

Once again, a new semester, and indeed, scholars started out anew realiz- ing that as Poor George truly says, “the doors of Wisdom are never shut” Ibis has been truly a month of sports and speeches involving two contests ol speech: the Colonial Forensic Extemporaneous contest, and the annual invitation debate at Boston University. Also there being played six games of basketball by the Colonials with Navy, South Carolina, Duke, North Carolina, Georgetown, and Maryland. I he Engineers on campus forgot their slide rules and T-squares tem- porarily to entertain the campus with one of the most outstanding Balls of the season; even the good professors reportedly had a jolly time. Also, during February, scholars danced and truly laughed at such affairs as the Vet Club Meet Ball, Sigma Phi Epsilon’s Heart Ball, and the Sophomore Benefit Dance for the CHERRY TREE. On February 16. the University Radio Workshop presented its second broadcast oi the year over station WCFM, the title of the script being “A Night in Plainville.” Six hundred and forty-six of our most diligent scholars gathered in Lisner Auditorium on February 22nd to receive degrees at the University’s annual winter convocation. Many Campus dignitaries were truly present for this happy occasion. Big Sis and Mortar Board gave a joint tea earlier in the month honoring new women students as did the Martha Washington Club on February ninth.

On the social calendar, the Alumni Dance and the Christmas Dance highlighted the fall semester, while springtime gaiety was taken care of by the Initiation Dance and the Spring Formal. Numerous Exchanges kept things from getting dull in between. Acquisition of a new house was the major project of the year, but individual Delts managed to distinguish themselves in various phases of campus activities. Charlie Chrichton, I.F.C. Secretary, was a delegate to the N.I.F.C. in New York; Don Myrick was President of the World Government Seminar, and George Bennsky was Layout Editor of the CHERRY TREE.

SIGMA TAU Sigma Tau is an honorary fraternity for outstanding engineering students. Not only must a student be approved by the three faculty members, but he must be in the upper third of his class, have social and professional attainment, and have evidences of outstanding qualities of leadership. One of the functions of the society is the free tutoring service that they offer to any engineering student in need of it. Further, they present a medal to the engineering freshman who has the highest average for his first year in the University. They also hold two banquets for their members each year.

It is national in scope, having 14 active chapters and three alumnae chapters. Beta Chapter was the host to the National Convention and the celebration of the Silver Jubilee, held in Wash- ington, D.

Business and cultural meetings are held once a month, with a program planned in advance. During the current year, programs have been built around internal problems and Pan-American Relations. Vera L. Mowry. president of the local Beta Chapter, is the editor of the fraternity’s national JOLRNAL. It is a professional magazine with articles written by mem- bers on various subjects of interest to graduate women. The national secretary, Grace Wilson, is also a member of Bet a. Membership is from many different professions, so this arrangement obviates provincialism. Each fall the chapter holds a tea for all graduate women and for faculty members of The George Washington University. It also has a series of rush functions termi- nating in initiation in February of each year. 160 February SIGMA PHI EPSILON OFFICERS President: William K. Whittemore Vice-president: Charles T.

Called the “Meetball,” the dance should be put down as a successful affair. After a slow start (due to the frigidity of the club itself) the place warmed up, and the couples were soon wining, dining, and dancing the night away. Honors for the affair went to Johnny Johnson, president of the Club. The Meetball was Johnny’s idea, and, with the help of several of his fellow club-members, the dance was made a howling success. The Student Veterans’ Club was started by three returned veterans in July of 1943 . Thought to be the oldest organization composed of World War II vets, it dedicated itself to the rehabilitation of the returning servicemen. Officers of the club are: President, Johnny Johnson; Vice-President, Virginia Sher- rard; Secretary, Phyllis Shattuck; Treasurer, James Stone, and Sergeant-at-Arms, Harold Cooper.

The purpose of the organization is to provide spir- itual guidance, fellowship, and re- ligious education for Episcopal college students. The Club held its annual retreat at Holiday House in Virginia during October. Other functions of the Club were a Barn Dance at the Parish House in November, a spring dance, and a post final exams picnic.

March 1949 Courteous Reader, Th is has truly been a month of many a mischievous breeze, but tho ' the “ March Wind doth Blow on,” the scholarly lads on campus spent very little time chasing hats, for indeed, few wear hats, and besides, all have been too occupied with other matters, to waste time pursuing errant chapeaus. On the fourth of this month, the member fraternities of I.F.C. began their gala celebration of Greek Week; the festivities being conclud ' d on the evening of the 10th at the I.F.C. Prom. The lads belonging to I.F.C. will be truly pleas’d with Poor George’s observation that their undertaking was a commendable success. Social Butterflies are always flitting about, and scholars are still a part of this gay phylum. Other than the I.F.C. celebration, March has not been a busy social month; however our social butterflies did attend such events as the student Bar Association Dance, The Phi Alpha-Phi Sigma Sigma “Rose Ball,” The Hillel “Purim Ball,” The Phi Sigma Kappa “Carnation Ball,” and the Home Economics Club Social. On March third Delta Tau Delta celebrated their Founder’s Day at a banquet, and while these jolly gents were enjoying their feast, our Colonials were in Durham, North Caro- lina, where they prov’d gallant gentlemen to be sure, in the Southern Conference Basketball tournament — ’twas a good game, lads! The local vendue of theatrics hath enjoy’d considerable business in March, due to the presentation of several programmes which the publick found suitable to their liking. The first of these, being the Freshman Follies, a delightful bit of nonsense on the evening of the fifth. On March eleventh and twelfth, the University Players present’d “The Inspector General,” a comedy by Nickolai Gogol, while on the 25th, the United States Air Force Concert Orchestra and the young ladies of the University Glee Club col- laborated in a presentation of Gilbert and Sullivan’s “Mikado,” a most successful event. Also during this “Drama-fill’d” month, the Dance Pro- duction Group held a Dance Concert shortly after the “Iydes”; Pan-Hel presented its annual sing March 23rd, and on the 30th I.F.C. made the last curtain call during March with the I.F.C. Sing. The chill March wind still doth blow, pardon me, while 1 scurry home for a spot of hot tea. 174 175 FRESHMAN FOLLIES! “What a joint . . . dis place is fit fer da boids!” Lisner Auditorium rang with similar sparkling and profound statements that night the Freshmen took over. The show was pure and unadul- terated Fresh . . . pardon. Frosh, and a whopping job they did. Rather than bust useful blood vessels over a theme for the performance, the directors lifted the auditions out of Columbian House and held them on the stage; after all, an audience is incidental when everybody else is having so much fun! The curtain was ripped aside for the overture in dedication to the sweet old class of ’49; they carried said class off in a coffin. In contrast, the newly born class of ’52 shot onto the stage in the person of Pete Marshall ... in diapers. That we’ll never forget. 176 March Marie Di Maio undulated into the spotlight to lead her Froshettes in an interesting piece of high-stepping while M.C. Lou Alexiou assured the audience that it “wasn’t that kind of show.” Jack Skelly, Phil Reiss, and Dick Riecken gave fine monologues while lovelies Jean Higginson and Anne Hay- den did some truly professional singing. Barbara Levy, Pete, and Betty Russell flew through some soft-shoe and varied vocal patter. Jean Leaptrott and Charles Clement set moonlight and desert to music, followed by a red chiffon clad Florence Silverman and her ‘Roaring Twenties.” Music by Walt Cottrell and his band, and a helping hand in the directing from Mike Curry wound up the amusing variety show. To the ’53 class: “Beat this !” Nineteen Forty-Nine 177 SOUTHERN CONFERENCE TOURNAMENT After winning one of the most exciting games in the 28-year history of the Southern Conference Basketball Tournament, beating William and Mary 78-74 in a triple over- time, the dauntless Buff ib ten fell to the N.

Entering the third overtime with only five men remaining (the other five had left on fouls! the Colonials scored a quick basket to take the lead.

CURRENT AFFAIRS CLUB “To discuss, stimulate interest in and promote understanding of local, national and international affairs ’ is the purpose of the Current Affairs Club of The George Washington University. To carry out this purpose, the Club sponsored forum programs on current public issues at which qualified guest speakers presented their views. Each of these programs were usually followed by a discussion period in which the audience participated. Among the programs which were carried out under the direction of Richard Johnson, president of the Club, were: A pre-election forum, featuring Congressman Brooks Hays; a campus straw election prior to the national Presidential election; a talk on “Which Way France?’ by M. Jean Winckler of the French Embassy. Another popular program featured Martin Agronsky talking on the subject “ The Democrats Are In; Now What? Agronsky is being congratulated on his fine presentation after the program by Dick Johnson. 184 March GREEK WEEK For the second year in the school’s history, the members of the Greek fraternal orders on this campus joined together for a week of social festivities. The highlights of the week were the Interfraternity Prom held at the Shoreham Hotel, and the Greek Week Smoker given at the Town and Country Club. The gatherings began Saturday evening with informal dances at des- ignated houses, and on Sunday the remaining fraternities gave tea dances. After the Smoker on Mon- day and the Tuesday stag parties, a discussion on the fraternity prob- lems was held on Wednesday and the week successfully ended with the Prom Thursday evening.

Ave. 511 14th St. 3027 14th Street Compliments of ALPHA DELTA P I 194 April 1949 Courteous Reader, April is truly the traditional month of the “Fool,” but if that jollie fellow appeared on our campus, he kept himself well-hidden. . . . Perhaps by being drest in the guise of a diligent scholar, he succeeded in fooling us all! In keeping with the occasion, the University HATCHET published its “Tomahawk issue, which was indeed a priceless bit of Journalistic en- deavor. Poor George says that the ladies and gentlemen of the HATCHET staff should be commended upon their ability and wit. Even those who don ' t belong to the “Honourable Fellowship of ye jollie friends” became light-hearted and gay, and a goodly number laid their books aside to attend the S.A.E. Spring Formal, the K.A. Dixie Ball, and the Pan-Hellenic Prom, all three of these events being reported as highly successful. The campus mermaids convened on April 6th for the annual presentation of the Oquassa Water Carnival. Poor George says that these young ladies prov’d to be most talent’d and very pretty to watch. Also this month, Hillel presented a musica l, the University Glee Club a concert, the Student Council their first annual musical, and the Universitie Players appear’d for the last time this year in “The Somersault in the Sea,” a delightful bit of artistry. The Players have been truly active this year, and have received many favorable reports. April hath tripp’d gaily by, foolish, and fancy free. Poor George sadly comments that scholars will have to turn their minds to more serious scholarly pursuit before the exams of May. To ye Jollie Fools, the best of luck when these do roll around. ... I say, Beware of Professor Fogg. 196 Tomahawk Replaces Hatchet on Campus News Stands April 1 comes and goes. So do April fools such as those who believe The Tomahawk (Vol. 1, No. 168%), which appears on the news stands each April Fools ' Day to tell students all the facts. “Doc” Blanchard and Glenn Davis will play on the Colonial team next year. Surprise! If students didn’t know this particular edition of The Hatchet always predicts the impossible, they might really believe that the University is worth $12,- 000,000,000,000 and is being awarded as a jack-pot prize. (Come to think of it, the Charity Drive for a home for stray rats . . . two-legged ones . . . might not be a bad idea.) Sub-editors by the name of John Marvelous, Dagmar Marvelous, Halliston Marvel- ous, Hubert Marvelous, and Inge Marvelous put out this issue for those with the particular sense of humor that enjoys Aunt Heliotrope, the “Staccatto” which contains a plot in-spite-of the three little maids, and even Georgetown’s being coed. “Serious” editorials interested someone. Maybe the reader ( according to statistics there is one writer, and one reader) thinks that very little time is put in on this issue, but he may be assured that over- time is 1 % times as much work as normal working hours.

Social functions, activities, and of course, studies combined to keep things from getting dull even for a moment. New rooms started off the school year with a bang, and were put to good use through an open house for the fraternities, one for the sorority pledges, and numerous chapter parties and functions, including regular Monday night dinners. Other major social events included the Founders’ Day Tea, the Mothers Tea, and the annual pledge formal, held this year at the Hotel 2400. Exchange dances, picnics, and a Christmas party for underprivileged children rounded out the social calendar. The KD‘s also found time to be active in all phases of campus life. Joan Brannon, president of Delphi, vice president of W.R.A.. and associate women’s sports editor of the CHERRY TREE, was elected to Who’s Who. Jocelyn Hartford was tapped for Tassels, and Florence Hager was president of the Lutheran Students Association. Dede Thompson was music chairman of Big Sis. and art chairman for the Glee Club. Doris Severe was on the Cheerleading Squad, and Joan Brannon won the Golf Tournament. The KD’s can therefore look back on 1948-49 as a quite successful year, with work and gaiety interspersed throughout, and with fun always. Kappa Deltas. First row , left to right: Wah-Ni-Tah Webb.

The name of the organization was taken from a salt water fish common to New England waters. With the hope of increasing the size of the group and also adding new numbers to the show, men were invited to j oin. Although the number of mermen participating in the show was relatively small, they presented a mimic of the girls’ formation swimming, for a very clever diversion. To add comedy and variety to this years Oquassa show , a number of male students now take part in the production. Pictured above are seven of the original mermen.

MASONIC CLUB The George Washington University Masonic Club No. 252 was organized in 1924 for the purpose of bringing together masons who attend the University. Later it ex- lended its purpose to include the sponsorship of the annual Cherry Blossom Drive in order to provide funds for scholarships in the University School of Government. In 1948 this club was the recipient of “The Melville D. Hensey Trophy,” a national award for the largest contribution to the scholarship fund.

THE INSPECTOR- GENERAL The University Players scored somewhat of a mild triumph this year with their presenta- tion of Gogol’s famous Russian comedy, “The Inspector-General.” The play was a personal success for at least two of the members of the cast. Charles Vorbach, famed for his performance as the witch-hoy in last year’s production, “Dark of the Moon,” proved his versatility by turning in a fine performance as the foppish supposed Inspector-General. Warner Schreiner gave an excellent interpretation of a small-town grafter in his portrayal of the Town-Governor, the other male lead in the play. Honors in the supporting cast went to James Finn and Gay Fullerton. Warner Schreiner , as the Town-Governor , breaks the news of the impending visit of an Inspector-General to his subordinates. 204 April John the Witch Boy entreats the Conjur Man to make him human so that he may woo Barbara Allen , while the ivitches above remind him oj his earlier evil revels. DARK OF THE MOON Climax of the successes of the University Players’ production of this Broad- way fantasy, based on the “Ballad of Barbara Allen,” came when London produc- ers cabled the University for permission to use the original music and arrange- ments added to the New York score by two students, Virginia Csonka and Albert Berkowitz. The request was made on the recom- mendation of the play’s co- author, Howard Richard- son. “Dark of the Moon” was presented on the Lisner stage in May, 1948. The Players’ interpretation was immediately hailed as a smash hit, judged by professional stand- ards. Critics proclaimed it superior to the Broadway production. Outstanding lead performances were turned in by Charles Vorbach as John, a Witch Boy, who fell fatally in love with a human girl; Zelda Feichlander as Barbara Allen, the girl; and excellent supporting actors. Brilliant direction by Mr. Edward Mangum and unique staging and lighting tech- niques completed a finely polished and deeply moving drama. A weird contrast of situations is achieved as the homespun preacher speaks of good y fine things , while in the distance , Barbara Allen ' s misshapen witchbaby is burned.

Nineteen Forty-Nine 207 KAPPA ALPHA DIXIE BALL Let us now return to the days of the Old South and relive for forty-eight hours a typical week-end as it might have been in the early days of the Confederacy. On April 29, 1949 Alpha Nu of Kappa Alpha seceded from the Federal Union. The Stars and Bars were raised over the Kappa Alpha House, and the annual Old South Week-end was on its way. The night of the 30th the actives joined with the alumni at the Bethesda Country Club for an informal dance. Saturday, however, was the big day, at eleven o’clock the brothers and their Southern belles traveled up the B and 0 Canal for their annual barbecue. The Dixie Ball climaxed the week-end; the Ball was held at the Washington Club. The brothers were arrayed in Confederate uniforms, while their dates whirled around the floor in their hoops and laces. However, the outstanding feature of the Ball was the toast to Robert E. Lee: One Mortal’s life has been held aloft since the founding of the Kappa Alpha Order, as an ideal and inspiration upon which to pattern our lives. His patriotism, gentle- ness, and courage, his recognition of duty, graciousness and adherence to duty personify the epitome of the Southern Gentleman, a man who sought not glory or wealth, a man whose name will ever keep alive the spirit of youth for whom he labored the youth of his legions — the youth of his college, the youth of all generations. Where in our little sphere of life could a more perfect ideal be found? Gentlemen, Ladies, I give you the spiritual founder of the Kappa Alpha Order, Robert Edward Lee of Virginia.

Nineteen Forty-Nine 209 Student Council President ff ill iam Warner STUDENT COUNCIL ELECTION What the campaigner wont do! Spring elections for the coveted Student Council offices always provide unusual episodes for at least a week before ballot- ing and during the two-day election period. From soap-box speeches and musical entertainment to a variety of parades, hope- ful politicians give their all to prove their worth to their fellow students. Minor political intrigues flow subtly be- neath the surface of most of these cam- paigns. Whispered voices ask what sup- port their candidate will get. And after elections are over the heated arguments simmer down and the new offi- cers take over their duties. This year’s Council, ably lead by Bill Warner, developed a more than adequate social program and almost doubled the number of programs offered to the stu- dents in Lisner Auditorium. An increased amount of student participation was the prime objective of the 1948-49 Student Council. 210 April Chet McCall Mary Ellen Allison Pete Smith Nineteen Forty-Nine 211 First row , left to right : Sol Neidorf , Edward Arch , 7acA- Goldstein , Henry Singman , Monroe Levinson.

ALPHA ZETA OMEGA Alpha Zeta Omega is a professional pharmaceutical Brotherhood whose aims are the advancement of pharmacy both in the educational and professional fields. The fraternity works towards improving curricula and raising standards, doctor-pharmacist relationships and industrial techniques, as well as uniting pharmacists into a socially constructive group working to aid local and world charities. Social activity is also an important function, the most outstanding recent event being the national convention held here last July, and a four-day holiday for members of the fraternity. 212 MAY Ben beats his Pate And fancies wit will come ; But he may knock, There s nobody at home . Poor Richard 1142. May 1949 Courteous Reader, ’Tis indeed the merrie month of May, and soon many of our most loyal and industrious scholars will he leaving University days and capers behind them to start life anew in the world of headaches and income taxes. To these. Poor George bids a fond farewell, the best of luck, and offers the following advice: “ you would miss the hard knocks of the world, duck going through it.” Also he truly hopes that in future years, their memories of the University will he most kindly, and that they will remember only that Professor Fogg 1 id not intend to be truly cruel when she compos’d question number ten on the final exam. May held memories which were much sweeter than those of final exams though: the May Day festival, the Newman Club AU-U Prom, the Engineers’ Banquet, and, of course, the Senior Prom. This has been truly an eventful, and pleasant year, as Poor George hath enjoy’d the parties, theatrical events, sports, and laughter of it all. It is with true sadness that he signs his last, “Thine owne obediente and faithful servante, Poor George.” 214 MAY DAY Last year, with final exams less than two weeks away, lovely Jean Hanson, Alpha Delta Pi sorority candidate, was selected as the 1943 May Queen by a group of hospital- ized veterans at Walter Reed. Jean’s attendants were Joanne Turney, Delta Gamma; and Virginia Teeter, Delta Zeta. Outstanding students of the Uni- versity were given public recogni- tion at the May Day program. Mem- bers of “Who’s Who in American Colleges and Universities” received their scrolls. Mortar Board, national women s honorary for outstanding activity service to the school, tapped eleven junior girls for membership. Following the coronation of the Queen at the formal festivities in Lisner Auditorium. G. W. students, May Queen Jean Hanson. their guests, and representatives from many of the high schools in the area adjourned to the “Tin Tabernacle ’ for an old-fashioned carnival. Over twenty campus organizations sponsored booths providing a variety of entertainment for the participants. Among the concessions were dart games, ring games, games of chance, and side shows. Sigma Nu won the cup for the best booth during the May Day program, with Pi Beta Phi running a close second. In the May Queen’s Court were Adeline An- drews, Pi Beta Phi; Joan George, Sigma Kappa; Julie Halloran. Kappa Kappa Gamma; Dionne Dalton, Chi Omega; Suzanne Lundgren, Phi Mu; Dorothy Downey, Kappa Delta; Harryette Schwartz. Phi Sigma Sigma; Barbara Stone, Zeta Tau Alpha; Mary Colton, Kappa Alpha Theta. Tot Held , a member of Pi Phis harem in last year s carnival. 215 One of the most coveted honors a woman may receive at the University is to be- come a member of Mortar Board. Tapping for the next year ' s membership is held during May Day ceremonies at the Uni- versity. In order to achieve this high distinction, open only to seniors, a girl must maintain an over-all average of three-tenths of a point above the all-University women’s average. Not only that, but she must be “outstanding” in the eyes of the members, and must have activities that are recog- nized by the University as a part of the regular extra-curricular activities. This year Mortar Board conducted many projects in connection with their program for the advancement of women in the University. Starting with their informa- tion booth for freshmen during winter registration, they also conducted a panel discussion on getting started at G.W., and a career conference this winter with Rep- resentative Katherine St. George as guest speaker. Officers are Betty Ann Paisley, Presi- dent; Ming Chen, Vice President; Nancy Groves, Secretary; Virginia Myers, Treas- urer; and Dorothy Whitley, Historian.

Bradley has housed a well-diversified group of veterans, ranging from Phi Beta Kappas to third semester special students; from varsity athletes to pin hall artists; from Brownley’s boys to the E lobby coke hoys; and from campus wheels to the coke man- ager. Opened in June, 1946, the unit was named by its occupants in tribute to a soldier’s soldier, General Omar Bradley.

The organization also fosters THE PERCOLATOR, a monthly magazine published by pharmacy students. Each year the association sends a committee to the Pharmaceutical manufacturing house, and also invites such dis- tinguished speakers as Doctor Eliot, the President Emeritus of Purdue University in to speak to the group. During the year the association held an annual Pharmacy School Dance, numerous lectures concerning pharmacy, and sponsored a pharmacy week window display. The George Washington University Chapter of the American Pharmaceutical Association hopes to gain first place among United States Schools of Pharmacy in 1949. In 1947, the chapter won second place on this list. Pharmacy students on campus are organized for social purposes in the Mortar and Pestle Society. The purpose of this society is to promote the friendship and social life of its members. Mortar and Pestle has enjoyed several busy seasons on campus in the field of sports. The group has held the Intramural bowling championship since 1944. the all University volleyball championship in 1947-48, and the all extramural volleyball championship in the district between Georgetown University, Maryland University, and George Washington University. The main projects of Mortar and Pestle this year have been the promotion of lab luncheons, the annual picnic, and Mortar and Pestle Society Dance. Above are the members of the American Pharmaceutical Association , and Mortar and Pestle.

Miss Wiggins was selected from among 15 girls representing various campus organi- zations. Judging was done in person by Johnny Long during a 12-hour period in which he was continually with the girls. On a Saturday afternoon, the Cherry Tree candidates were the guests of the Sigma Nu fraternity, which entertained the girls at an informal cocktail party during which the ‘ in person” interviews with Johnny Long were held. Following the two hours during which Johnny spent several minutes with each girl, the field was narrowed down to four finalists, who were Anne Diffenderfer, candidate of Sigma Chi and a member of Kappa Kappa Gamma; Julie Halloran, a member of Kappa Kappa Gamma; Pat Hart, representing the Newman Club, and Pat Wiggins. Early that evening, the four finalists were interviewed on television during the half-time of a Washington Capitols basketball game at Uline Arena. Bob Wolff, local 228 Beauty contestants , left to right , Jane Beasley , Pa a 7, Pa Pope, Dionne Dalton , Gay Haran , Loraine Salzberg; right , Louise Whiting. sportscaster, handled the interviews and also presented Johnny Long and his vocalist, Natalie Shepherd, who assisted Johnny during the afternoon interviews. After leaving the arena, the four finalists and their dates were the guests of Johnny Long at the Club Kavakos. where the Long Orchestra was being featured. During the two evening shows, Johnny introduced several George Washington students who were present and had Chet McCall, associate editor of the Cherry Tree, present the four beauties to the patrons. When the Club closed shortly after midnight. Johnny Long gave to the associate editor a slip of paper with the names of the Beauty Queen and the Senior Princess, Anne Diffenderfer. Highly appreciative of being asked to judge the contest, Johnny’s final remark was, “Are you sure the girls won’t know who the winner is for two months? I know I’ll be out of town then!” Beauty contestants , left to right , Ann Brandenburger, Suzanne Lundgren, Virginia Blankenship y Diane Cabeza. 229 Elise Ann Brandenburger , Editor.

THE 1949 CHERRY TREE Jointly conceived by the editors of the 1949 Cherry Tree and the Administra- tion, this year’s annual is unique in the history of the school, and perhaps in the country. In order to give the hook a wider appeal to the student body, it was de- cided to present the usual yearbook ma- terial in a new fashion. The editors and representatives of the Administra- tion, working together through the fall, laid out the final plans late in Decem- ber. and by early April the final few pages were tucked away at the printers. The 1949 Cherry Tree, as we pre- sent it to you, tells the story of the year in a sequential pattern, the style based on Poor Richard’s Almanack. Jake Bayer , Business Manager.
