TO the General Assembly and Governor of Virginia who founded this school, to the hoard of trustees who made possible its erec- tion, to the dreamer who first conceived the idea of our great institution, to the architect who so carefully planned each detail of its structure, to those workmen who labored end- less hours shaping buildings from the unhewn gray stones, to our presidents and our faculty, and to the students who have molded character and spirit into these blue-stone walls — often at real sacrifice — to all our builders we dedicate this book. =B T -C C« lgKV - 33 GEORGE BERNARD KEEZELL One of the Builders xtxlxnom ? TWENTY-FIVE years ago the blue-stone towers which now surround us were only a dream. Those rears have drifted away, but the memory of their passing still lingers in the hearts of those who have watched them go. Thus it is our wish to weave into these pages of the 1933 Schooljia ' am that which, in all the years to come, will bring back reminiscences as pleasant and as vivid as those which we have vicariously experienced this year.

MISCELLANY September 30, iqoq EXCEPT the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it; except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain. Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth. They that trust in the Lord shall lie as Mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth forever. As the mountains are round about Jerusa- lem, so the Lord is round about his people from henceforth even forever. He giveth power to the faint ; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength. Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall : But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength ; they shall mount up with wings as eagles ; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. OUR gracious Heavenly Father, we thank thee that the scenes from our windows are still beautiful; that the mountains, though distant, still point upward ; that the sunsets are still glorious; that the sunrises are sure, and always full of promise. And we pray thee that the sun of truth and righteousness may con- tinue to shine daily in our souls. We thank thee for the thousands of young lives that have here been kindled and conse- crated. We thank thee for the light and truth, for the love and courage, that they have carried out and given to the world. And now, O Lord, to our thanksgiving we add our special petitions. Bless these young women in their lives and in their work. They hold in their hands the cure of many ills, the key to many joys, and they are standing in the dawn of a great future. May the skies be bright above them, as hope calls them forward. In the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen. ttms A LTHOUGH the first building was ready for the cornerstone several r— % months previous to the date selected, it was thought best to postpone the ceremonies until the late spring, when the weather conditions would probably be more favorable. Thursday, April 15, 1909, was chosen, and on this date the stone was laid under the happiest auspices. A parade nearly a mile long, composed of school children, military and civic organizations, and carriages with public officials and specially invited guests — among them many members of the state legislature — marched to the Normal school grounds, where impressive Masonic ritual was followed. To the left of the entrance to Maury Science Hall the cornerstone was duly laid by the Grand Lodge of Masons of Virginia assisted by local lodges. An immense throng of people witnessed the ceremonies, which were carried to completion without the occurrence of anything to mar the pleasure or success of the occasion. After the rites at the buildings, the parade was re-formed and marched to Assembly Hall, where addresses were made by Senators Keezell, King, and Halsey, and by Hon. Rosewell Page and Ben P. Owen. Governor Swan- son was expected as the orator of the day, but at the last moment was forced to remain at home on account of the illness of Mrs. Swanson. The Governor sent a telegram of regret for his enforced absence and expressed his interest in the school and its future. He was represented by his secretary, Hon. Ben P. Owen. Greetings were received from several state educational institutions. A large and enthusiastic audience heard the addresses.

JTatuJt ? vs8 $ tuhttti f xtbttttmtnt AN honor system was inaugurated here the first year, but the origin of definitely organized student government was characterized by much careful planning. For several years groups of students agitated the matter, until in 191 5 the Honor Committee determined to take definite action toward its establishment. Besides investigating the matter, the members of the committee tried to create a favorable sentiment among the students. The Honor Committee used as a basis a constitution drawn up several years before by a group of students. After careful revision this was submitted to the faculty, who suggested further changes. When these had been made, the proposed constitution was read and explained in the various classes and then voted on separately by the class organizations. Here student government met its first success, for in each case a majority favored it. When formally presented to the student body, it was approved by a majority vote. The next step was to secure from the faculty the privilege of self-govern- ment. A petition was drawn up making this request. It was readily granted, although a few more changes in the constitution were suggested. It was also recommended that the officers of the Honor Committee become the first officers of Student Government and that the committee itself should comprise the first Executive Board. A few days later a meeting was held to inaugurate self-government. President Burruss and Dr. J. W. Wayland talked on the responsibility and the advantages involved. Then the faculty withdrew from the room, and Miss Agnes Stribling, President of the Student Body, took charge. After a short talk she read various clauses of the constitution and explained them. She then announced that on that day, February 15, 191 5, Student Government was inaugurated in the Harrisonburg Normal School. President es Walter John Gifford A.B., A.M.

Both town and gown co-operated to make those two eventful days an overwhelming success. The cooking classes served a feast with a bill of fare consisting of Shakespearean viands prepared according to genuine Elizabethan recipes. The sewing classes designed and made all the costumes, carefully following the Elizabethan styles. After much patient search and research considerable Shakespearean music was brought to light and reproduced as successfully as in the early seventeenth century. Dancers entertained the audience with old English folk dances and enacted the traditional May Day customs which Shakespeare himself must have delighted in as a boy. Morris dancers, milkmaids, Robin Hood, Queen Elizabeth, minstrels, horses, and dogs — all came except the lugged bear, and the committee almost succeeded in obtaining him to grace the procession and the day. The citizens and visitors thronged the campus, where various organi- zations presented scenes in abridged form from Much Ado About Nothing, Merchant of Venice. As You Like It, Midsummer Xight ' s Dream, Julius Caesar. and Twelfth Night. Enthusiasm was at its highest pitch during the whole gala affair. For weeks everyone had toiled, planned, thought, and practiced. At the end of the two days ' celebration everyone was almost exhausted but very happy, for all efforts had been marked with success. One could truthfully say, It was a good undertaking well done. T U C K E FK 5 ECB.fcTASkV TAY I OK Senior Class Motto: We ought, we can, and we wil Colors: Purple and White Flower: Pansy Dr. H. G.

Our song is one of courage and joy and peace and love and truth and beauty, and we shall sing it for all the world to hear, for it is a good song. -Alberta Stevens Senior Prophecy June, 1958 AND so we come to a chapter in the book with which the writer is intimately connected. My readers will pardon me if I seem to linger over the pages here. k or if a personal note creeps into the narration, for each individual of whom 1 write is personally known to me, and each life is colored by some personal contact. I have followed with care, born of interest, through a period of twenty-five years, the progress of each member of that class of 1933, and no research was necessary to pen this chapter in the history of the contributions of H. T. C. in the half- century since its beginning. We have given you a record as nearly exact as possible of the brilliant careers of H. T. C. graduates from the beginning until 1933. While the college boasts many noted daughters prior to that date, no class as a whole be- fore this time had contributed so largely to the world as have the members of the class of ' 33. It seems only yesterday that we were celebrating the twenty-fifth anniversary of our college. I can never forget it, or the 89 members of the Senior Class who marched so proudly in academic procession among the notables of that day, the speakers, and the faculty. I can hardly realize, as I look back, that the Betty Bush I knew then is now in the President ' s cabinet, the second woman to gain this dis- tinction. After leaving H. T. C. Betty became interested in social welfare work in New York City. Her interest centered around the labor problems there. In this connection she gained distinction which consequently led to her selection as Secretary of Labor. I can never think of Betty without thinking of Sally Face, and since I ' ve mentioned Sally, I ' ll say here that she long ago gave up the teaching profession. She taught only one year and then married Frank. I happen to know that, though she is married, she is still Betty ' s confidante and adviser. Marriage has claimed quite a large number of the class of ' 33. Emily Bushong, Myrtle Manby, Elizabeth Tudor, Evelyn Rice, Irma Schwartz, Martha Franklin, Frances Maloy, and Lillian Dickstein were all married within two years after thev left H. T. C. Emily, Elizabeth, Martha, and Frances are now living in Harrison- burg with the men of their choice. Myrtle is living in her home town, and Irma. Evelyn, and Lillian are living in New York with their families. From pictures I ' ve seen of their children, they must lie little less than young Greek gods and goddesses. That is partly due to the splendid camp training their mothers provide each summer. Though it is a long way from home, each year these New York mothers send their children to the camp at Raleigh Springs, Virginia. With the exception of Avelino and Cummings, the rest of the girls who came to H. T. C. from Savage in 1933 — Bernstein, Shotter, Finnegan, Mentzinger, Saver, Bleier, and Onofer — started this camp on a small scale in 193 5. Almost immediately it gained such popularity that the whole camping system had to be enlarged. The place has continued to grow in quality and appeal, and though the founders have retired from active work and are living prosperously in New York, the camp goes on under their direction. The reason why Avelino and Cummings did not enter into the business enterprise with the other New Yorkers is quite evident from the success they have made in the field of popular music. Avy (as we called her then) began composing soon after leaving H. T. C. Her music was good, but she was not successful in fitting words to the music, so she called Cum- mings to the rescue. Together the}- have made a roaring success. Even while I t 7,5 1 write. I catch myself humming the latest Avelino-Cummings number. Avelino was not the only member of the class of ' 33 that turned to harmony, but the others made a success in the fields of classical and sacred music. Eleanor Moore. Man ' Coyner, Virginia Orange, and Alberta Stevens are all in Grand Opera. I really expected Eleanor and Mary to reach fame in this way, but I didn ' t -uspect that Virginia and Alberta had musical ability to such a marked degree. Virginia awoke to the knowledge of her talent soon after graduation and hard work soon brought her to the front. Alberta ' s golden voice needed only to be heard to be appreciated, and when it was heard — presto, she became famous. Last but not least. Thelma Fry and Evelyn Garnett are choir director and organist, respectively, of a large Methodist Church in Richmond. They have made quite a success in this field of endeavor. While these four girls 1 I still think of them in that way) are musical artists, Eloise Thompson, Catherine Bard, and Dorothy Martin are artists in the true huh ' ' if the word. Eloise has gone in for portraits and is now painting the feature pictures for the Schoolma ' am. Catherine is teaching art-craft, drawing:, and paint- ing in her private studio in Norfolk. Dot Martin is abroad studying and painting. It is evident from the success of her work that she will make a place for herself in the Hall of Fame. Prudence Spooner has become quite an artist in the field of dramatics. She has now the dramatic lead in one of Syd Hendersnn ' -. best plays. The public ex- pects a masterpiece in this combination production. Edna Palmer is quite a well-known writer of verse, and she has some difficulty in supplying the large demand for her work. The sayings of Mabel Berry are on everyone ' s lips. Mabel also was a member of the class of ' . though her cleverness at H. T. C. was lost on an unappreciative group. Later, her contact with an influential newspaper editor brought to light her unique ability, and now she is the present-day Will Rogers. Bernice Bowden turned out to be the real genius that she was predicted to be in college. She has become the woman genius of the mechanics of aviation. Her sensational flight to Mars in 1940 even today makes her everyday activity of front- page interest. Alice Shipley has become a medical missionary to China. Her praise-worthy deeds there have gained for her the name of white angel of mercy. Emma Jane Shultz is today ' s well-known National Y. W. C. A. Secretarv. Working with her as National Treasurer is Rebecca Comer. Both are using the experience gained at H. T. C. to further the work of the Y. W. C. A. in the colleges of the land. Lillie Tucker unexpectedly inherited a million dollars, and thinking of H. T. C. she donated a thousand dollars for the improvement of the college camp. Lillie expects the good times at camp to be increased a thousand-fold by her generous donation. Elva Mason and Mildred Weadon have gone into co-operative business in Richmond. They own a very exclusive shop of women ' s ready-to-wear apparel. Katye Wray Brown has. now. for five years been Dean of Women at H. T. C. Her experience as president of student body in 1933 made her alive to the prob- lems of a teachers college, and after graduation she continued her preparation for deanship. Laura Melchor 1 in college known as Cootie) is now a pre-eminent lawver in North Carolina. Cootie ' s experience in court proceedings at H. T. C. caused her to change her profession in favor of the more illustrious career of a lawver. [76] Christobel Childs left H. T. C. and immediately began work in journalism. S he has advanced by leaps and bounds. Today everyone is familiar with her fea- ture column in the New York Times. Harrisonburg is not without its architects — Mildred Dickerson, also of the class of ' $$, has already designed one of the largest churches in Richmond with such success that the demands for her future work are innumerable. Lois Drewry has reached the height of her ambition. She has invented a material upon which the body exerts an opposite magnetic force. The doors of her home are constructed of this material, and now she can walk from room to room without the annoyance of closing doors, for the door of its own accord swings back into place after the opposite attraction of the body has been moved from its vicinity. Nelle Taylor is considered the woman best informed on foreign affairs in the U. S. Senate today. Her press speeches are widely read, and her opinions valued. Bernice English, the great mathematical genius, really received the incentive for her discovery at H. T. C. In trying to work out a mathematical equation by which she and Lillian Holland might become the same size, Bernice stumbled upon the solution of the fourth dimension. Now she is able to understand all of the Houdini tricks and is mystifying the world with the knowledge of her startling discovery. Ruth Henshaw is a well-known surgeon in Roanoke. Her specialty is appen- dicitis, and her precision in this line has given her distinction. Elizabeth Krouse and Catherine Manke are members of the General Assembly of Virginia. With Elizabeth as a representative of the House serving on the Appropriation Committee and Catherine as a Senator serving on the Finance Com- mittee, H. T. C. has nothing to worry about from the standpoint of appropriations from the state. After graduation Gladys Myers was offered the position of secretary to a prosperous business man in Charlottesville. She accepted, and has never gotten out of the profession. Instead, she has worked up steadily and now receives one hundred dollars a week for her services. Emilyn Peterson has become prominent in the world of sports. She entered the Olympics as representative of H. T. C. in 1935. She became distinguished for her fancy diving, and the popularity she received afforded her the opportunity of a position in a woman ' s college in Florida. She is still a member of the faculty there. Virginia Richards is now head dietitian at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Balti- more. Virginia ' s opportunity came from the recogniton of her efficient work as teacher in Handley High School, Winchester. Mary Haga and Lucy Coyner are physical education directors at Savage, New York. Jean Gills is teaching English in the Petersburg High School. Sallie Scales is supervisor of schools in Rockingham County. Bessie Sco ggin, Helen Sites. Minnie May, Martha Holsinger, and Margaret West are teaching in a pri- vate school for girls in Pennsylvania. Margaret Wheeler is a supervisor in Main Street School, Harrisonburg. Alice May Baldwin and Margaret Boykin are teach- ing in a Norfolk High School. Mildred and Sarah Shryock are teaching at Ran- dolph-Macon Woman ' s College. Louise Watkins is now professor of English at H. T. C. Barbour Stratton is supervisor of a modern experimental school for teacher-training in Philadelphia. Laura Humphries and Margaret Lackey are [77] home economics supervisors in John Marshall and Maury High Schools, re- spectively. Dorothy Myers is professor of chemistry at Bridgewater College. Clyde Ramsey, married to the principal, is still teaching in a Roanoke High School, while Eliza Smith is teaching in a high school in Suffolk. Mildred Tate is teacher of home economics at Virginia Interim mt College. Lillian Holland is supervisor of mathematics at Harrisonburg Junior High School. All these girls have stuck to the schoolroom, and through their efforts, and the efforts of others like them, teaching is really becoming a profession. Jacqueline Baker has abandoned pedagogy and is now working in a chemistry laboratory in Washington. 1). C. At present Jack is working on the chemical analysis of protoplasm and preparing a dissertation for her doctor ' s degree on her findings. Christine Bowman and Mary Burnette are married and living in Roanoke and Charlottesville respectively. Both have model homes based on the plans of the practice house for home economics at H. T. C. Marialyce Collie, Lena Joyce. Enid Moss, and Margaret Wilkins are joint managers of an attractive tea-room in Washington. Tourists in the capital city are careful not to miss having tea here, for it is one of the places one just doesn ' t miss while sight-seeing there. Helen Wick is prominent in the social circle of Richmond. If you follow Helen ' s activities in the society column, you will find that she spends much of her time traveling with her husband. Bertha Driver, Julia Cosby. India Gilmer, and Lee Warren Hammer have entered the nursing profession. Bertha and Lee Warren are now stationed at the Rockingham Memorial Hospital in Harrisonburg. Julia and India are in Stuart Circle Hospital, Richmond. Annie Laurie Harvey has turned literary and is contributing articles to two of the current magazines of today. Margaret Campbell is city librarian in Richmond. Margaret has maintained her interest and activity in athletics. Margaret Gambrill is now traveling companion to her aunt. Together they have toured the countries of Europe. Margaret ' s interest in government has gained her entrance into the governmental departments of the different nations. Sn well informed has she become that she is thinking seriously of writing a book on the subject. Janet Lowrie is actually in the process of writing a history of Cuba. She is social science professor of a college there, and her knowledge of Cuban affairs has inspired her to write the book. Each member of the class of 1933 has reached fame in some way. My chance for success still hangs in the balance. If I have in any way helped to place H. T. C. in its proper place in the field of education by a citation of the contribution of its daughters, then I have succeeded; if not. I have failed. But since I cannot measure the success of my own work. I can only do my bsst and hope to accomplish the thing I have tried to do. — Dorothy Harris [ 78] S U G D E N ROGE P.S ' R E A S U REP, WILLIAMS Junior Class Motto: At the foothills, climbing Colors: Yellow and White Flower: Daisv Dr. H.

Whatever zee may do, let us cling to old friendships, to old memo- ries, and remain loyal to our class and our school. EuGENI Tr ixum Sophomore Prophecy BOUN( !ING along in the infinite space. King Moon, resembling the tradi- tional green cheese, looked down with bored eyes upon the placid earth. The twinkling subjects of the king had failed to produce sufficient entertainment on this night. Amusement was lacking. Even the budding young poets who gazed soul fully upward and composed rimes and rhythms on the silver orb or shining golden ball could not flatter him into a good humor. Variety was what the king needed. And so, to relieve his boredom, King Moon wearily glanced down at the small invariable eartli and chanced upon that eminent college of Harrisonburg. Let me see — now, when was it I last visited here? It must have been twenty years ago. Yes, it was in 1933. How the time does fly! I wonder what has happened to the members of that Sophomore Class. I think I ' ll trv to find out. That was a great class ! ( Moons are capable of anything, so it wasn ' t hard for him to locate whom he wanted. ) Why, there ' s a circus right in the heart of Xew York ! Those Tomko sisters are still high jumping. Eight feet is not much less than the cow did when she jumped over me! Anna Larrick is playing her own compositions; while Irma, Ruby, and Elizabeth Driver walk the tight rope to her rhythm And there ' s Bill Crisman singing Meryl Brinkman ' s newest song. Bernice Smith. Virginia Newell, Margaret Cooper, Sara Frances Harnsberger, and Louise Garner certainly do make good clowns. There are Lillian Alexander and her assistants. Eleanor Haden, Maude Poore, and Eva Riggins, with their trained seals! They ' re spelling Harrisonburg. The girls are still true to their Alma Mater. Alice Zedd and Sancta Mae Swineford are the best bare- back riders I ' ve ever seen. To think that the Bass sisters own a circus of that size and prominence! Twenty years back circuses didn ' t amount to much, but now — times have changed ! Why, out in the audience I see Beatrice Scott. Mary Coglander, Velma Miner, [Catherine Miller. ( )neta Sbipe, and Xeta Helsabeck right on the front row with their husbands. Now, whose law office is that? It ' s Mary Bragg Young ' s — greatest w man lawyer in the United States ! She must have got her experience in [ KM ) those ' bull sessions ' at H. T. C. Julia Evans and Lemma Owen are following right in her footsteps. Betty Coffey looks prettier than ever, walking down Fifth Avenue. She ' s about to outshine my stars. Lettv Hobgood is a mere shadow of her former self, and she owes it all to the College. Her latest book, Life at H. T. C: How it Eliminates Unneces- sary Weight, Yet Strengthens the Constitution, has caused seven hundred more applications to lie sent in to Dr. Duke. Helen Kitchin and Alice Moon are owners of the publishing company, while Helen Lucas, Hstelle Settle, and Elizabeth Showalter are members of their staff. Polly Schuler (pardon me — Dr. Schuler) is head doctor in Kathleen Tate ' s new hospital, where Dot Burkett, Mary Bruce, Lucille Litton, Eunice Burkholder, Virginia Hedrick, and Eva Campbell are all nurses. Xext time I have my appendix taken out I shall certainly travel down there. Louise Hockman and Ruth Yebb are speedy ambulance drivers. Now, I wish vou ' d look at Sarita Byrd ! — The technocrats have claimed her. She has invented fifty different varieties of robots. Her latest one can fly! Eleanor Browning, Dot Merryman, and Eleanor Davis are having a thrilling time riding on it. I hope Sarita ' s genius won ' t invent anything com- parable to a moon. You never can tell about this mechanical world, though! That modernistic drawing of Kathrvn Maude ' s is in the latest mode. A different picture is presented from each side on which you view it. There ' s more talent in that renowned class, too. Louise Cloud ' s latest volume of poetry is just out, and it is dedicated to Gladys Leech. Marian Smith is a famous opera singer, and Margaret Hannah ranks with Paderewski and Rachmaninoff. Isn ' t that Janet Latane ' s fashionable shop? Just as stylish as ever! Mary Frances Gallagher, Frances Barrett, Kathleen Cowden, K atherine Kirt- ley, and Dorothy Slusser model the Paris creations for her customers. The Moon swung his gaze around to the sea and located a huge ocean liner. That must be the one that Kathleen Asher ' s husband owns, he thought. What charming hostesses the Miller twins are! Elsie Comer and Mar- garet Dillard are taking their honeymoon trip on this ship. And there ' s Kitty Taylor, the girl who inherited millions, taking her annual voyage across the sea. Man- Powers, Marie Surber, and Myrtle Little are going back to their posts in Africa as missionaries after a year ' s furlough. [105] Just look at ' Pete ' Morris playing the uke in the Dot Hamilton orchestra! I ' m, 1 wish I could stay and listen. That airplane is coming too close for comfort. Who would have thought that Nancy Campbell would become an aviatrix. Kathleen Brand, Elizabeth I )e .Maine, Evelyn Compton, and Aubyn Chance don ' t seem to be afraid to ride with her, though. 1 prefer the sky myself. That must be the plane that Bernice Lyttle and Elizabeth Showalter invented. The moon came back to earth. Isn ' t that Florence Lewis lecturing to that multitude of people. She ' s speaking on luhicatimnil Progress of the Last Twenty Years. 11. T. C. surely must have started her off right. What ' s that she ' s saving — that {Catherine Cox. Elvira Sutton, Eddie Williams. Kathryn Keller. Thelma Leech. Adis Mantiply, Maxine Miley, Janet Norman, (iene- vieve Fries, ami Emily Garey are the kind of teachers the world needs more of! I ' d like to go to school to them, but my education was completed three billion two million six thousand and nine hundred years ago. Ho-hum, yawned the Moon, twisting his face almost out of shape, I think that ' s about all now. What a class that turned out to he! Bouncing along in the infinite space, King Moon dozed peacefully, dream- ing of the many places and people he had witnessed on the placid earth and on his own special domain, the sea. The stars twinkled brightly, keeping vigil over his majesty. And thus another night passed. -Kathleen Carpenter [ 106 ] FHWtATT CRICHTON 7RtA5UREI , CLARKE S£ GtAf1T-AT AP.V1S Freshman Class Motto: Conquering and still to conquer ' Colors: Red and White Flower: Red Carnation Dr. ( ).

It was not my will, but I thought it would lie better to comply with the president ' s wishes for a short while, at least. 1 do not remember whether I walked, crawled, or flew over the abominably long distance front Jackson to Hillcrest. but I arrived with due ceremony. Even though 1 had held an office in the senior class, could speak in French and Latin, and had graduated with cunt laude on my diploma, it seemed that none of those strange people had heard about me. As I progressed down the receiving line, my name changed and no longer resembled that with which my proud parents had labelled me. I developed surprising relatives, and by the time I had finished my journey, I was convinced that I had at least four sisters and innumerable cousins at this institution. It seemed to my inflamed imagination that even Airs. Ashby, the campus cat, was standing there in severely-cut evening apparel witli her white paw extended to me. I finally escaped from the never-ending line with a sigh on my lips and a limp arm by my side. 1 )uring the night I was haunted witli visions and awoke several times to hear my room-mate say in a well-modulated voice, Yes, 1 am Miss Watts. No, 1 am from Amherst, not Arkansas. No, 1 have no sisters here. A well-aimed notebook served to arouse her from the miserable experience that 1 knew site must be having. — Tess I Earless, ' 37 [115] ©rtiamx-aitotts | — -€3©s k. 5. (Eke Jffirsi Aixmrfthtg xxf z$xtts FOR the first few years of its existence. Harrisonburg Normal School, as it was then called, issued diplomas only. Five certificates were given. The First Grade High School Certificate was granted at the completion of the sophomore year, the Junior State Normal Certificate at the conclusion o f the junior year unless the student had completed a Professional Course. In this case a Professional First-Grade Certificate was given. First- and Second-Grade Certificates were obtainable only by state examination. Voca- tional Certificates were granted upon the completion of the one-year household arts course in millinery, dressmaking, and homemaking. In 1916 the General Assembly of Virginia empowered the Virginia Normal School Board to grant degrees in Education for the completion of courses at the normal schools. Accordingly, Harrisonburg State Normal School introduced into its curriculum courses to complete two years of work in addition to and in advance of the ordinary two-year normal school course. This new four-year course led to the Bachelor of Science degree and was offered first in the field of home economics. The original plan of so arranging the course that a diploma should be given at the completion of two years is still followed at the college. It was thought that advanced work would be of especial interest to students who were looking forward to teaching in high schools, or to holding positions such as that of supervisor of home economics, county home demon- stration agent, or specialist in home economics. It had become customary to require a degree for the most desirable of such positions. In June, 1919. the first B.S. degrees were given to a class of ten. Averett, Bean, Bishop, Brown, Colvert, Bus.

It has honored and loved General Robert Edward Lee as a statesman, a soldier, a scholar, and a man. The things he stood fur have been the things the society has upheld. This year the Lees observed Lee Day. conducting chapel and entertaining the new girls at a dance. They have attempted to present Lee to the campus as an American rather than merely as a Southerner. The study this year has been varied, including poetry and drama. [143] Bennett, Bowden, Buie, Bush, Campbell, (. hups Comer, Cook.

Previous to this session, the club has presented a modern play in the fall quarter and a costumed play in the spring. Departing from this custom this year, however, the club produced two modern plavs. The fall presentation was The Blossoming of Mary Anne, by Marion Short, and the spring play was The Charm School, by Alice Duer Miller and Robert Milton. During the second week in February the club observed National Drama Week. A formal tea was given for the faculty in Alumnae Hall, at which time the one-act play, Breaking the Ice, by Charles Thomas, was presented. At the regular weekly meeting of the club during that week, The Constant Lover, by St. John Hankin, was given.

C [154] Basketball T HE 1933 basketball season opened with a game versus the Harrisonburg Alumnae on February 4, the score of which was 35-27, with the varsity team victorious. Because of our inability to obtain games to be played m the home floor this season, the three inter-collegiate games scheduled were played on our opponents ' courts. The first inter-collegiate game was played at Shepherds- town, West Virginia, where Harrisonburg emerged with a 45-15 victory over Shepherds College. The next game was played at Farmville State Teachers College, where Harrisonburg took a severe trouncing of 45-25 at the hands of the Farmville girls. This defeat was offset somewhat by the score of 40-12 which Harrisonburg ran up on the Westhampton sextet the following evening. The rabbit ' s foot, worn by Frances Xeblett, Captain of the 1933 team, will again be worn by Frances next year, as she succeeds herself as captain- elect of the 1934 team.

From this point, and on until the end of the season, luck changed, and Harrisonburg won the remaining games played. The Virginia Hockey Tournament was held last fall at Sweet Briar Col- lege. Our entire Varsity squad was in attendance. H. T. C. Varsity first plaved a mixed team from Hollins and Randolph-Macon Woman ' s College. This score ended with 3-0 in Harrisonburg ' s favor. In the second game our Var- sity lined up against that of Farmville. Harrisonburg came out on top with a score of 2-0. The second team of the 1 1. T. C. squad played two games and won both. The first was against a mixed team and resulted in a 3-0 score, and the other against the second team of Sweet Briar ' s Varsity — this last score being 4-0.

Burruss, gave to this great college vision and ideals ; our second, Samuel P. Duke, has rightly been called the Builder. The words within the next twenty-five years were often on the lips of President Burruss. His far-seeing did not prevent, however, his near-seeing, and he had an incredibly acute discernment of details. Immediately after his election on June 26, 1908, the young president laid down his study, the doctor ' s degree almost within his grasp, and visited other states and schools to learn what would be best to do in founding this school. Several innovations were his : the four-quarter year, the use of the public schools for observation and practice-teaching purposes, emphasis on rural-life problems, and emphasis on industrial arts. He sought always to train com- petent homemakers as well as competent teachers. To find a successor to President Burruss was no easy task, but that the selection of Samuel P. Duke, of Richmond, was a wise choice has constantly been evident from the day he came to Harrisonburg in July, 1919, to assume his new duties. President Duke has consistently held that a sound basic training is funda- mental in the preparation of all good citizens, and particularly of teachers. An Alumnae-Students Building, Dr. Duke ' s plan, was the first of its sort in Virginia. His foresight has also provided the handsome practice house, Walter Reed Hall, Wilson Hall, six dormitories, and an excellent nine-hole golf course. Dr. Julian A. Burruss (1908-1919) Dr. Samuel P. Duke (1919-) A Backward Glance In any glance backward over the twenty-five years of the life of this college the two figures that loom largest in the making of it are its two presidents.

Of the rest, we can not omit mention of our own Senator Conrad, who has never failed us in any emergencv. All will recognize the boyish Harry Byrd. who belonged to us before Virginia and the Xation claimed him. Mrs. Lowman THE THREE SUCCESSIVE DEANS OF THE COLLEGE Dr. C. J. Heatwole. Dr. W. T.

Hence the recollection of his visit stands very close to Harrisonburg ' s thoughts of the terrible war and the great peace. Yes, the Shenandoah was once our guest also.

Leafy June. Knee- Deep in June. Where the Wild Thyme Blows, etc. He would ask what title It should bear in the next issue, and whether we bought cuts for time or for eternity. However, many faces which should appear in these brief review pages are lacking — such as Miss Margaret King ' s and Mrs. Lida Cleveland Edmister ' s, of the original faculty — not that they could be forgotten, but that the cuts were not to be found. iMtrror ON May 5, 1926, the college participated for the first time in that colorful pageant of the Shenandoah Valley, the Apple Blossom Festival. On this occasion the college float captured second prize. In the years that have followed, the college has won another second prize and three first prizes. In the first years of college history our b lue-stone hills were embowered in an apple orchard. Now most of these gnarled old trees are gone, but their memory will always live in the school flower, chosen in our year of beginnings. Thus it was natural for H. T. C. to become an integral part of the Apple Blossom Festival. From the time of the first participation the members of the college glee club have always been the chosen court musicians. The Festival has been actively correlated with the college work of different departments. The Art department has offered suggestions and toiled in the making of the beautiful floats which are an important unit in the spectacular parade, with its thousands of onlookers. The color scheme has always been delicate pinks, greens, and white. The costumes have been designed from thin fabrics such as cheese cloth, cambric, and more often crepe paper — not calculated to withstand high winds or inclem- ent weather. These costumes are designed by the home economics department and made by the girls who are planning to wear them. The beruffled skirts, the dainty parasols, and the beribboned poke bonnets enliven the picturesque throng. Our Mirror Each year the student body elects members to the college mirror.

Lee Trinkle, now President of the State Board of Educa- tion, presiding. The lamented Reverend B. F. Wilson, D.D., offered a very beautiful prayer, and there were addresses appropriate to the occasion. Distinguished guests included Senator Keezell, the man to whom more credit is due than to any other for the establishment of the college here ; Julian A. Burruss, its former president : John Garland Pollard, Governor of Virginia; Ex-Governor Harry Flood Byrd ; Sidney B. Hall, State Superintendent of Public Instruction ; and William E. Dodd, of Chicago University. The subject of Doctor Dodd ' s address was Woodrow Wilson: National and International Leader. His talk was a beautiful tribute to this great man of history. Former President Julian A. Burruss spoke convincingly on the contribu- tion of this college to Virginia. This was fittingly followed by our present head, Samuel P. Duke, who chose as his subject A Look Forward. He empha- sized the need of quality in teachers, in equipment, and in the intellect of students, and said that this college would uphold the high standards it has had in the past. Dr. Sidney B. Hall next spoke on the Theories of Teacher-Training. The first was that efficiency of subject matter is of primary importance; second, that efficiency in method holds the secondary p lace; third, that efficiency depends on professionalized subject matter; and fourth, he stressed the fact that efficiency depends on concurrent mastery of skill and subject matter. John G. Pollard in a few words brought greetings from the Common- wealth of Virginia, while Harry Flood Byrd was spokesman for the Shen- andoah Valley.

Keezell i I lift of Class of 1932 ) [208] FORMAL DINNER COTILLION DANCE Swimming OX March 8, tin- infra-mural swimming match was held, much interest being shown by each individual class. The seniors, with a score of 46 points, took first place: the sophomores, second; and the freshmen, third. Dorothy Mentz inger, of X ' ew York, a senior, was awarded the cup for having the greatest number of individual points. Earlier in the season Captain Carr of the National Red Cross service came and gave the Examiners ' test to all girls capable of qualifying as instructors in life-saving. These girls in turn gave the senior life-saving tests to those interested. Not only is swimming enthusiastically carried on for recreation and sport as an extra-curricular activity, but it is also taught in regular classes both for begin- ners and fur advanced swimmers.

All the classes have main entrants for the ladders, which are causing great excitement. A person on the ladder is eligible to challenge the person above her or the second person above her. In this way they work to places of their ability. During the first part of Ala)- an inter-class tournament will he held. This year the person who works her way to the final championship match ami wins will he awarded some small trophy. Numerals will be given to the first ten girls on each ladder who attend the required practices. The sport leaders for the various classes are: Tennis Sport Leader Mary Van Landingham Senior L eader K athleen Finnegan Junior Leader Lois Bishop Sophomore Leader Eleanos Studebakeb Freshman Leader Ellen Pruden Alan} ' girls other than those on the class ladders come out often for a refreshing game. Beginners in this sport have much opportunity during the spring for instruction. N Golf INETEKN hundred thirty-three marks the beginning of a new major ■ - sport — golf. It ranks with the other sports on campus in that there is a regular golf sport leader, with subordinate class sport leaders. By instruction and regular class practices interest in golf developed and advanced rapidly with the season. As a climax to this short period, a spring tournament was held, in which picked teams from each class participated. The individual winner was awarded a silver loving cup. Golf Sport Leader Mike Buie Senior Leader Virginia )range Junior Leader Virginia Carmines Sophomore Leader Edith Todd Freshman Leader Tame Mixer n i Grief Let me sit in the sun And polish my brass howls Nor think they once reflected Cream-petaled roses, gifts of love, So often now they ' ve held Rue and rosemary. Lonely Thoughts Black beyond blackness of night Or of blindness are they, Lacking the hope of dawn That lightens the one Or the imagination that colors The other. Pressed within some safe receptacle They ferment And give off an acrid fragrance. Silenced to all but one Pair of ears, The_ ' quiver and send up to Heaven The shrill monotony Of self-pity. —Dorothy A. Martin [ 212 ] Glimmer A star peeks in my window every night, And when I feel it shining on my pillow 1 turn and look to find my lovely star. But when I gaze, the sky is blue and void — No star, no gleam. Some trick was played upon me ! I turn my head away in secret sorrow, And there my star shines whiter than before. Rondeau The snow lies deep in Blue Ridge hills. It buries gently woodland rills And trees and bushes, gleaming white. ft blankets all my world tonight And covers soft this heart it chills. The sifting snow in silence stills Each shattered bit. So grind the mills Of gods. On every dreamed delight The snow lies deep. The love that brought my heart such thrills Now stabs it through with anguish, kills The lingering flame and puts to flight The soul of beauty. Small and slight. The sunken grave so slowly fills. The snow lies deep. — Sarah Lemmon [213] Patchwork THERE are some beautiful pieces in my college patchwork quilt. Some are delicate, fragile colors, soft blues and pinks and greens, the color of new grass. They are the sacred memories about which one speaks in a hushed voice, or does not speak at all. Some of these deepen into lovely hues, azure and rose and sea-green, along with development and growing experience. And some of the pieces are the vivid reds and flaming purples of the dying sun as it gloriously suffuses with brilliant color the white clouds in a blue sky above bluer mountains. They are the experiences which will always stand out clearly in my memory — a high point of achievement, the touch of a comrade ' s hand, the discovery of a kindred soul. Some of the pieces in my quilt are tiny, and some are very large. Some have queer, accidental shapes, and some have beautiful outlines. The variety of size and contour makes it all the more interesting — this quilt of mine. Yes, it is a gorgeous thing, and its riot of color seems almost to glow with life and youthful vitality. But it is stitched in black — the sombre thread of failure and discouragement. Death THERE is an atmosphere of aching hearts and painful self-restraint in the long, low farmhouse, with its towering trees which have protected it for two centuries. There is the multled tread of people hurrying to and fro and a vague unrest which comes to a place where black Death has claimed his own. In front of tbe house already are many cars, and in the back yard is a group of Negroes, with bared heads, come to pay their last respects to the best-loved man of the community. In the house are many tight-pressed lips and tear-blurred eyes that are the veil of grief-shrouded hearts. Rut in one small room there is a wonderful peace and calm. This room is fragrant and colorful with many, many flowers. On his last couch, luxurious in its gray- ness, like the silver of his hair, lies a sweet old man with lightly closed eyes. A breeze slightly ripples the transparent cloth above his head and he seems t( i breathe easily in pleasant slumber. Let everyone tread softly here : Columbus Pumphrev is asleep. —V. K. S. £214] Freshman Biology Laboratory FROGS? They will haunt me forever! For two hours each week tor one whole quarter we labored over evil-smelling frogs. After the way I treated my frog I shall never be able to look a living-self-respecting Rana Pipiens in the face. It was the luck of my partner and myself to get a specimen that still croaked. Although he had been dead and pickled for some time, a gentle pressure on his ribs was all that was necessary to call forth a strident protest that brought looks of amazement to the faces of all my classmates. As we are just freshmen and still like to play, we took advantage of this, since he continued to croak until we removed his lungs. We allowed the poor frog no privacy. After diligently studying his exterior, we started on his interior via his mouth. Inwardly apologizing to Nebuchadnezzar, as we had fondly dubbed him, I broke his jawbone and looked down his throat. That was not enough. At the next laboratory period we skinned him and discovered unheard of things concerning muscles. After depleting his jumping apparatus, we started on his circulation, and then on his nerves. We traced his digestive system, and now I know what becomes of poor unsuspecting flies who hover too near sleepy-looking frogs. We completelv demolished him; there was nothing left of him at the end of the quarter but four skinless legs, part of a backbone, and the jaw that I so cruelly broke. — Jean Long Disillusionment THE etchings were all that we had imagined — scene after scene of the quaint, beautiful streets: glimpses of old black mammies, leaning over balconies and calling to their charges at play below; enchanting views of old Saint Michael ' s towering above trees and buildings; finely-wrought iron gate- ways symbolizing the glamour and aristocracy of the old South. We seemed to he walking the very streets of old Charleston. Charleston, home of my mother ' s mother and her forebears ! Charleston, city of my dreams, all the dearer for the fact that I had never been able to visit it ! I drew my friend up before a picture of two gigantic trees. See, I pointed out. Aren ' t they symbolic of that Queen-city of the South? Don ' t they have an air of stately pride in glorious ancestry, which is the epitome of Charlesto n? We drew closer to read the inscription in the corner of the etching. It said simply : Beeches. Sussex, England. — Winifred Warren [213] Tragedy THE tears streamed from her eyes and tell upon the trembling hand which held the knife. I can not do it. Then she thought of her husband. She could see the sneer of disgust upon his face when he had learned of her failure. No, she must do it! He should not call her coward! With stiffened spine and lips set tight, she plunged the knife to its hilt. A soft ooze moistened her ringers. The smell of it sickened her. She shut her eyes. Then with a gasp, she stretched forth her hand and tossed the offending onion into the soup without further cutting. — Sallie Scales Irony THIS is one of those houses whose very appearance spells charm. Perhaps the most appealing feature about it is the door, an apple green door, with a brass knocker. It seems to say, Come in. The house itself is one of those little white cottages with little green blinds. It doesn ' t sit; it doesn ' t squat nil the smooth green lawn, as some authors say about some houses in their books. It just seems to grow out from the ground with a collar of small evergreens encircling it. The winding path of stepping stones which leads down to the water is dotted along the edges with flowers — hearty bright zin- nias, sassy nasturtiums: and in the spring violets push up unceremoniously in the grass between the sunken rocks. The whole atmosphere is tinged with romance, happiness, contentment. Bitt a solitary old maid lives here with her retinue of cats, goldfish, and parrots. — Catherine Bard Box-Seat SHE sat in the fr ont seat of the box evidently rapt in the tender love-scene of the Wagnerian opera. Her gleaming white shoulders, rounded into beautiful curves, lent a sharp contrast to the black velvet of her expensive gown. Her naturally golden hair swept in a glorious succession of waves from her high intellectual forehead and accentuated a profile of delicate beauty As the curtain fell on the last exulting note of the hero she leaned grace- fully toward her escort and in a soft musical voice murmured, That guy is some squawker; ain ' t he? — Bettv Bush [216] Triolet I set my cap for him, I did, Because I liked his looks and ways ; When first I saw that brown-eyed kid. I set my cap for him, I did. I guess I should have run and hid ; He left my mind in such a haze. I set my cap for him, I did. Because I liked his looks and ways. — Ruth Behrens FIVE-YEAR old Jimmie came home crying. Aluvver, he wailed, Brownie bited me! Why, Sonny, where? gasped his frightened parent. On my knee. Still sobbing, he held up the injured member. The skin was unbroken, but a little red spot showed that the dog had snapped at it. But, Jimmy darling, Brownie has never snapped at anyone before. What did you do to him? He ' s a good dog. Nuffin ' . He jist bited me. Think, dear. Didn ' t you hurt him in any way? Nome, the child insisted. I was jist playin ' , an ' he come up and bited me. No more information was to be gained by Jimmie ' s worried mother until that night. The child knelt and said his prayers as usual, but added this petition : And God, please don ' t let Brownie bite me again when I pull his tail. — Winifred Warren Sponges I SAT in my lecture class, drowsy and inert as the smooth continuous flow of the professor ' s words fell uninterruptedly on the ears, interested and uninterested, of his students. These students took down his words obediently in a notebook partitioned off for this and other courses, writing automatically and thoughtlessly the words of the learned teacher. Some day, I knew, we would memorize them and give them back to the teacher, only very slightly tarnished, at a time when he would require them. Once in a while 1 looked out of the window at the mountains in the distance and dreamed beautiful day- dreams that gladden the heart of man}- a youth — and never materialize. But all the time mv pen formed on paper the written symbols that represented the words of the lecturer. I was relaxed and comfortable in my assurance that no unseemly outburst of discussion, or heated exchange of opinion would shock my dormant intellect into action ; and so I dreamed on — and lazily reproduced on paper the thought issuing from the teacher ' s brain. —V. K. S. [217] Character Portrayals HE is always immaculate. As he enters the room a faint odor of ivory soap accompanies him — he does not smell at all like a little hoy. Twice during an hour he takes out a comb and carefully smooths h!s hair. Other boys despise him and call him sissy. I ' m not so sure that I like him myself. She reminds me of sunlight on a rough sea, with her golden hair, her blue eyes, and her never-ceasing movement. At first 1 was afraid of him until 1 learned that his sophisticated ways are only a camouflage and that underneath this shell he is as timid as I. Whenever he asked me a question, his eyes seemed to challenge, Now I ' ve got you. I wonder if he ever knew how my heart sank when he raised his hand. He sat there in his desk gazing through the window and not listening at all to the discussion. He was watching a buzzard soar through the air and dreaming of the day when he would become an aviator and soar just as easily. I couldn ' t blame him. I, too, like to look out of the window and dream of the time when I shall be a real teacher instead of merely an apprentice. She sits on the very front row, looking up into my face as if absorbing everv word. She nods her head approvingly or disapprovingly, as the case mav he. She seems all interest, and yet when I call on her she starts guiltily, blushes, and stammers, I didn ' t get the question. — Babs Stratton When he sauntered into the room that first claw I saw nothing hut a wide expanse of expressionless face. When he shuffled past me, I had vis mis of lumbering beasts of the jungle. As I looked at him sink into his desk, it seemed incredible that a human being could appear so utterly blank. I will not embarrass him by ask ng him a question during the period. Hut at the begin- ning of the class, he raised his hand and said, Did you read the account of the proceedings of the World Court in the morning paper? A timid boy was John. He always seemed embarrassed when I called upon him in class. Such a quiet taciturn youth, I noticed that he never played with the rest of the boys during recess, but, rather, staved in the classroom, reading a book. If 1 addressed him out of class, he reddened profusely and walked away. He was unusually polite for a boy of his age, and always spoke in a calm, low-pitched voice, until one day I caught him reading a novel in class, and told him he must stay in after school as a penalty. I ' ll he d — d if I ' ll stay in after school just for that, he blurted. —Prudence Spoon er [218] Nobody Knows the Trouble Fve Seen I USED to be interested in interior decorating. As a matter of fact, at times I had contemplated it more or less seriously as a profession. Since I have been at H. T. C. however, I have materially changed my views. Interior decorating may be all right when one stands in the middle of the floor and directs, but when one is the tallest roommate, as I am, it degenerates into something more or less resembling a three-ring circus with me as the clown. In the first place, I have an artistic roommate. She decides on the most effec- tive way of arranging our assorted pictures, pennants, and what-not, and then leaves for the evening. Most of her ideas involve moving the double-decker across the room, placing the dresser where the single bed was. and swapping that with the table. Finally the furniture is placed — perhaps not satisfactorily, but at any rate where it is going to stay as far as I am concerned. The next step is the search for the step-ladder. It eludes our noblest efforts. Finally we locate it at the far end of the hall upstairs. We room downstairs at the other end. We decide we don ' t need it immediately, and come back to the room. Besides, it is promised for the next two days at least. I conclude that I shall have to climb up on the double-decker to hang the pen- nants. The bed has an unfortunate tendency to waver with that peculiar motion felt on a storm-tossed boat. And the pennant that is to be hung in the middle of the wall can be put there only by precarious balancing over the end of the double- decker. As I advance cautiously in that direction, the wavering motion increases noticeably. The quavering motion inside me also becomes more pronounced. 1 reach over to place the pennant. The question now arises: if I hold the pennant with one hand and the hammer with the other, with what am I to hold on? The question remains unsolved. I don ' t hold on. Just as I successfully place the first tack and remove my hand, the tack falls out. I groan. But at last the pennant is placed. Then the remainder of our va- ried collection is put up by steps involving standing on the bureau, standing on a chair which stands on the table, and other feats of acrobatic balancing. But now comes my Waterloo. The curtains are yet to be hung. I put them on the rod. ascend to a chair on top of the table, and begin feeling for the curtain hook. The radiator interferes notably with my efforts. To add to my annoyance, the chair begins to execute a war-dance. My thoughtful roommate proceeds to hold it for me. Meanwhile the curtain has caught under the chair. I am forced to descend, loosen it. and mount once more my bucking steed. This time, success crowns my efforts. Then I view the results. The rod sags noticeably in the middle — so noticeably that I fear its two pieces will part company in the extremely near future. I decide to put a nail there to support it. With my roommate holding the chair, I lean f orward. I hit the nail twice. It doesn ' t stick. I hit it three more times. It still won ' t grip. I strike it a fierce blow. It drops to the floor. Having rescued the nail, once more 1 turn my attention to the driving of it. After ten blows calculated to fell as many oxen, it takes hold. I drive it in viciously, and lower the curtain rod gently to it. The nail has gone in too far to support it! On the fifth trial, the nail and the rod connect satisfactorily. I descend from my perch, only half the girl I was when I climbed up there. Just then my artistic roommate walks in. Good gracious! she says, you ' ve put up last year ' s cus- tains. The) ' aren ' t even the right color! Yes, thank you. I am recovering nicely. — Sarah Lemmon [21!)] May Da y Festival Sponsored by THE ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION May 6, 1933 THE APPLE OF DISCORD EPISODE I.— THE WEDDING FEAST OF PELEUS AND THETIS Ate Laura Melchor Hera Marguerite Childress Artemis Ruth Hardy Hesta nna Larrick Demeter Katye W ' ray Brmvn Proserpine Janet Lowrie Athena Sarah Lemmon Aphrodite Madaline Newbil] Zeus Lillian Shottcr Mars Lillie Tucker Poseidon Ruth Behrens Hermes Kathleen Finnegan Pan Jessie Reynolds Kings Jean Long, Peggy Mears Queens Xelle Taylor.
