MENTAL LEADER SHIM DR. J. L. JARMAN For Farmville students those finer and more intangible things which college has given them are summed up in one inspiring and moving spirit — our president, Dr. Jarman. Each year of untiring and understanding guidance makes Dr. Jar- man one year younger ; n our hearts, and it is with deepest feelings of admiration and respect that in future years we shall remember his cheery greetings, smile of warmth, and integrity of character. MISS MARY WHITE COX Ready, always, to listen to our problems, and to give unceasingly of sympathy, Miss Mary has grown to mean an invaluable force in the lives of each of us. As Head of the Home, she is as ready to recognize and commend our accom- plishments, as she is to keep us in check occasionally. Graced with an unusual ability for understanding people, she is to us the embodiment of culture and poise, and a profound influence in our lives. FACULTY AND ADMINISTRATION Minnie V.

Pre Glass History IT was on a day in late September that the members of the class of ' 39 first walked into the Rotunda and looked up at Joan of Arc with a feeling of awe and excitement and perhaps with the first symptoms of homesickness. But these early, unsettled and lost feelings soon gave way to the realization that we were in college! Before us lay four years of unknown experiences and a host of enchanting oppor- tunities — and we were challenged to enter into our new career — to turn our enthusiasm and youthful anticipations into realities, and in making a name for ourselves, to do the things that count. With the making of schedules and formation of orientation classes, we lost that disconnected feeling of being only parts of something not joined together, and became conscious of our class as a unit. Having chosen Sarah Hayes as president and Miss Grace Moran as classman, we plunged whole- heartedly into college activities. Before we knew it, Rat Week with its terrors, trials, and tribulations, was upon us. For three days we bowed in humble submission to the iron rule of the mighty Soph- omores. Devoid of all beauty, we carried laundry; polished shoes; were made to shine in Shannons; and, to our intense mortification, on the balcony in the dining hall, wrote ardent love letters to the objects of our rulers ' affections; and performed other duties much too numerous to mention. When it was over our relief was overwhelming! We had had fun though, and now felt much more a part of it all. As Rosebuds of the Freshman Class — with our flower, the white rose, as a theme, we formally presented Miss Moran, our classman, to the student body. Each progressive step in our freshman year gave us an inspiration to go forward and to gain for our class a definite place in the college. In sports we got off to a running start by taking first places in the swimming meet in which Bunny Yonce was high scorer. Throughout four years we have had outstanding SENIOR OFFICERS Mr. Coyne r, Classman; Nottingh etary; Anthony, Tr- athletes such as Virginia Carroll, Virginia Whitehead Smith, and Ellen Conyers. For our first production we chose Nan Throckmorton chairman, and Miss Moran, as always, gave willingly of time and effort to making a tremendous success of Over the Wires. In six scenes, two roaming sightseers took the audience around the world. Remember Em Easley as the fat sultan, and Vera singing Our Night in Monte Carlo. Following this came many more first experiences for us — Mardi Gras, Founders ' Day, Spring Cotillion, and May Day. All of these made us wide-eyed in freshman wonder, and gave us secret little feelings of hopeful anticipation that some day we, too, would play prominent parts in these occasions. In the fall of 1 936 we returned to Farmville with heads held high. We were Sophomores — much impressed with our new importance and eagerly awaiting our turn to rule, if only for a week. Rat Week went off smoothly, and we found many new ideas and methods of torture, profiting by our own experiences. Rat Court was a masterpiece of ghostly terror and the Freshmen came forward in fear and trembling. We shared honors with the Seniors, our sister class, when Green and White was victorious in the Color Rush — but our rule over the Freshmen ended when they deleated us in hockey and discarded their rat caps. This year we again used the garden theme when Sarah Hayes presented Miss Moran as classman. We turned the nursery rhymes inside out, and as a result presented Mother Goose Goes to Town as our Sophomore production, under the direction of Pattie Bounds. Jack and Jill, and Little Boy Blue went through their paces; Tizzie Rawlings and May Terrell were typical little girls in the See-Saw Scene. Thanks to Jean Taylor, Dibbs Tyree, Virginia Jarman, Mary Jackson, and other committee workers, the play went off smoothly. At the commencement exercises in June we sadly bade many of our classmates good-bye. Among them were Kitty Waite, Ann Hardy, Betty Fagg, and Em Easley. Half of our college days behind us, we went forward into our Junior year. Vera Ebel, our new president, and the other class officers — Virginia Whitehead Smith, Clara Not- tingham, and Louise Anthony, led the Junior cheering in rhythmically presenting Mr. Coyner as classman. The class came to the front again in swimming events and carried off first place in the Water Carnival with the Junior Olympics. We decided to make this an annual stunt, and won the prize again the next year with the Senior Olympics. The Color Cup bore Green and White ribbons, signifying athletic victories for the Freshmen and Juniors. Our Junior production turned out to be a not of fun! We painted an exaggerated picture of college life and called it Sister Pat (with Apologies to Brother Rat). Under the direction of Frances Hutcheson, every rehearsal was a revela- tion of new jokes and wise cracks added to the script. The influence of Mable Burton ' s invitations and the song Gonna Lay Down My Pencil and Paper lasted for days! Sing gave us a chance to use daydreams and imagination in a portrayal of life in Farmville fifty years from now. Television and radio took the place of class lectures; meals in the form of concentrated pills were served in bed ; children of former students told all the gossip of their mothers ' classmates, and the whole performance was a round of hilarious fun, and proved to be another prize winner. Gradually, the members of the class were taking over important positions in school. Frankie Bryan led the College Choir; Clara Nottingham was president of Orchesis; and every Wednesday night we rushed for the Rotunda to read Reverberations by Frances Steed. In the winter quarter we had our first thrilling experience of seeing our classmates tapped by Alpha Kappa Gamma, and we realized that we were beginning to attain the goals which we had set in our Freshman year when our lives were made up chiefly of ambitious hopes and dreams. Now we had given leaders to the school. In the spring came the announcement of publica- tion appointments with Miriam Ficklen, LeNoir Hubbard, and Ann Dugger editing The VIRGINIAN, The Rotunda, and The Colonnade. Soon followed major elections giving us Kitty Roberts, Margueritte Blackwell, Sarah Button, and Virginia Carroll as heads of four major organizations. At last it was time for the final Senior Chapel of the class of ' 38. The class of ' 39 marched sadly up the aisle under an arch formed by the academic caps of the departing Seniors. We were no longer Juniors — to us had been given the Alma Mater and we were facing the great responsibility of carrying on. In September we returned to college fully conscious of the responsibility and privileges of our position. Now we could live in Senior Building, go down town at ten o ' clock, and wear caps and gowns to chapel on Friday. Some of us lived in the new Home Management House, and all of us awoke every morning to the tune of hammering as the new library and dormitory were being built. Events during our Senior year seemed to crowd in closer than ever. For our circus stunt we sang rousing college songs, and the climax came when Army Butterworth was crowned queen. December the third was the date set for Senior Dance, when members of the class formed the figure which was led by the class officers. Also in December the first issue of The Colonnade appeared. Mardi Gras was a not of lovely, queer and original cos- tumes. Frankie Bryan ruled over the event as a beautiful Spanish sefionta. Mildred Genty, chairman of the event, was largely responsible for its success. Founders ' Day brought with it returning a ' umnae, living in the new dormitory, and the usual celebrations. Also there was a special reason for additional gaiety as Dr. Jarman announced that funds collected were sufficient to pay off the Student Building debt. With spring came another of those famous Farmville May Days, with Theresa Graff and Charlotte Minton looking their loveliest as Queen and Maid-of-Honor, respectively. The following Seniors were selected as members of the court: Pattie Bounds, Margaret Britton, Frankie Bryan, Elsie Dodd. Vera Ebel, Edith Fitch, Clara Nottingham, Kitty Roberts, and Margaret Stallard. Four years of class sports, presentations, sings, and produc- tions over, we faced graduation. Banquets and picnics were a prelude to a sadder time. Our last Senior Chapel — Vera expressed farewell on behalf of the class — we formed the arch — we had left chapel to the Alma Mater for the last time — and the class of ' 40 dressed in white with tear-streaked faces were now to take our places — they were Seniors. Later, little sisters walked with us in the Daisy Chain and Lantern Parade — and with the close of Class Day exercises we faced the real end. Dr. Jarman presented the degrees — degrees toward which we had worked for four years. . . . We stood in a circle on the campus singing Joys We Have Known and Auld Lang Syne. With a feeling of awe we faced the realization that we were together as a class for the last time; for the last time, we felt and understood the handclasps of friends we had grown to love and now must leave. We broke the circle, and it was over. To you, Juniors, we give a challenge — and a trust, to fill our places and to carry on the spirit. We have confidence in you and know you will not fail. And to all underclassmen we say hold fast to the spirit of the courage and loyalty of Joan of Arc. Cherish always your Alma Mater and the ideals which she has instilled in you. DORIS ADKINS, B. S. From Danville, Virginia, comes Doris, one-half of that team that has been a source of mystery ever since the Class of ' 39 entered the Rotunda. On the week-ends that the twins take a jaunt to Richmond, the drawing cards for Doris are Ernie and wedding dresses — not intimating that the two go together. It ' s just that she likes to try on wedding dresses! Another ardent bridge fan and one fond of dancing, we ' ll remember Doris ' quaint smile and care- lessly tossed curls. DOROTHY ADKINS, B. S. Having characterized one-half of the aforementioned baffling team, almost all other description is unnecessary. Quiet as a rule, Dot on occasions comes forth with a barrage of baby talk which belies her stylish, ultra-smart appearance. Spending week-ends in Richmond is as much of a habit as those involved bridge sessions in which she often indulges. LILLIAN ANDERSON, B. S. With literary tastes and one of the quickest wits we ' ve ever known, Lillian, from Covington, Virginia, is known for her quick ability and easy disposition. Small in stature and great in the possession of friends and admirers, she is alert and energetic, always willing to act on the least suggestion. LOUISE ANTHONY, B. S. From Danville, Vir- ginia, comes Tony — sports manager and home economics major. About her there ' s that certain air that gives us a what-have-you-been-up-to-now feel- ing, while a certain something in her eyes says On the level — and we know she is. We know too, that she is charming, and a friend worthwhile who will have fun wherever she goes. MARY ELIZABETH BADGER, B. S. Physical education is the lion that has used up much of Spook ' s excessive energy and ability since she ' s been one of us. Over the bridge table or on the hockey field, her good nature always matches her good sports- manship, and she smiles as readily over her few defeats as over her many victories. ANNIE RUTH BAIRD, B. S. A small dark- haired girl with piercing black eyes is Annie Ruth from Savedge, Virginia. She loves poetry, old or new or anyway it comes, and reads novels and biographies in every spare moment with equal enthusiasm. Easy going and taking life as it comes, she always seems to be hav- ing a good time. RUBY KENT BANE, B. S. Wand ering in the woods, experimenting in the laboratory, seeking to find an unusual or new plant, Ruby, who is interested in art as well as science — in fact, she is very fond of Grand Opera — has made play of work — a hobby of her major in science. Ruby comes from Vernon Hill, Vir- ginia. FRANCES HASKINS BARNES, B. S. A de- gree in three years — amazing, exceptional of course — but this is the way Frances believes in doing things. She does all her work thoroughly, but modestly thinks nothing of it. Frances delights in surpassing every tall story she hears with one of hers having its setting in Keysville, Virginia. LUCY JEAN BASKERVILLE, B. S. Rather quiet? Well, maybe, if you don ' t know her very well. She ' s sweet and shy, but you should see Lucy of McKenney, Virginia, up to her tricks with the second floor annex tribe. Her irresistible giggle has a way of getting even the hall president during the wee hours. Quiet? Well, maybe, but not too noticeably. JACQUELINE BEAL, B. S. Always ready to tell a joke or help find that long-sought-after library book is Jacqy from Scottsville, Virginia. Her eyes are always dancing, and her mouth is always laughing either in conversation or appreciation. She has, too, that consistent working will that helped the Project Committee of Pi Gamma Mu accomplish harder tasks. If we want to find fun, we find Jacqy! EVELYN CHRISTINE BEALE, B. S. Her conscientiousness shows in her dependable work in the library ; her ability shows in her membership in Pi Gamma Mu. Every new experience proves her as sweet and, at the same time, steadfast, as is shown by her constant effort and thoughtfulness. Evelyn ' s home- town is Smithfield, Virginia, which has sent to us more than one capable girl. SARA MELBA BEALE, B. S. Known to every studen t of S. T. C. for her cheerful and efficient work in the post office is Sara Melba, from Smithfield, Vir- ginia. She is never irritated by confusion and coolly performs her work under any circumstances. Miss Maude K. Taliaferro pays her the supreme compliment in her statement that she simply can ' t do without Sara Melba. As Secretary of the Dramatic Club, she has proved her versatility and capability. ELIZABETH WARREN BERRYMAN, B. S. A strong support of the basketball team and an ardent student in home economics is she — a native of Surry, Virginia. We all know Elizabeth for her persistence at hard work and her congeniality with her many acquaintances. She is ever-willing to take over an unpleasant duty and perform it to the best of her ability, an ability which is very good indeed. MARGARET LOUVISE BLACK, B. S. Hither and yon — from — S. T. C. to Switzerland, Sweden, and other places abroad, Margaret Black goes with the same calm manner which has characterized her as president of Beorc Eh Thorn. With a wanderlust equal to her love of literature, what may she not find of rarities to add to her collection of Swedish poetry? MARGUERITTE ALLIE BLACKWELL, B. A. Whenever we see a lavender scarf, we shall think of the bright, eager face, red hair, and pert nose of our President of the House Council, Margueritte Black- well, from Roanoke, Virginia. With friendly gusto, much cheer, and a due amount of conscientiousness, she has made a great success of her many duties, losing not a spark of her enviable animation or her wonderful disposition. BEATRICE BLAND, B. S. Having a serious outlook on life that increases her sincerity. Bee, from Dumbarton, Virginia, is a hard-working student who believes in accomplishing her tasks. The Debate Club has recognized her forceful speaking just as we have recognized her forceful personality. She is trustworthy and competent in all her duties. REBECCA LOUISE BLAND. B. S. Looking for the fun in life, Rebecca Bland has found it by being so much fun herself. She dislikes to be alone, but never has to be, for her keen sense of humor makes her sought after by many friends. However, Becky can be serious when the occasion arises as shown by her competent work in Home Economics. She comes from LaCrosse, Virginia. ELIZABETH VIRGINIA BOUNDS, B. S. Smell those wonderful brownies? Asburry from West Point, Virginia, and a home economics major can always be counted on as good company as well as an excellent cook. Jolly and gay, she has a funny little laugh by which she will always be remembered. She is a transfer from Asburry College — hence her nickname. PATTIE ALSTON BOUNDS, B. S. Aye, aye, sir — here ' s Pattie Alston Bounds from the saltwater country, Norfolk, Virginia. And she has brought in- land the spirit of the salty depths of the ocean. Tired of the dryness of it all? Then step into Pattie ' s room for a breezy chat and a change of atmosphere. You may hear in her own interesting way accounts of trips with the debate team and tales of travel and ships. ELOISE SCOTT BOWLING, B. S. Eloise Bowl- ing of Pulaski, Virginia (P. S. : now she ' s married), always looks as though she stepped from the pages of logue. Trim, neat, she chooses her clothes with excel- lent taste. Although reserved she is friendly and grand fun when you know her. Sincerity of thought, purpose and action, particularly seem to characterize her. VIRGINIA C. BOYD, B. S. Virginia Boyd, a witty brunette with striking eyes from Exmore, Vir- ginia, is always ready for a good time. One of her greatest difficulties comes from her popularity and her inability to keep her engagements straight. May we suggest a date book! Most of her spare time is taken up answering the telephone or developing her love for books. FLORENCE BRESS, B. S. Someone you can count on? Find Florence Bress from Norfolk, Vir- ginia. Business Manager of the Rotunda and President of Pi Gamma Mu, she will put your worries to an end. Always ready to help with college activities, Florence has been a great asset to our class, and a production without her to manage finances is unheard of. She is very successful in obtaining souvenirs while on conven- tion trips (namely, Cincinnati. Remember, Flossie?). HELEN MARIE BRIGGS, B. S. Anyone could recognize Helen by her lovely red hair. Every morn- ing — well, excepting a few — she can be seen in the College Shoppe ordering one breakfast with toasted brown bread. Helen not only likes her breakfast at the College Shoppe, but running a close second is her craze for bridge and Chinese Checkers. Waverly, Virginia, is responsible for our having such a sweet girl. MARGARET MAURICE BRITTON, B. S. Small, dark, lithe, and light of foot, with energy-plus is the heroine of our Freshman Production, Margaret Britton, from Petersburg, Virginia. Featuring in the famous Britton-Butterworth dance team for four years has put her down in our memory to stay. She is one who is never too busy to cut-up for some good fun and entertainment. Keep it up, Margaret, and get a patent on those original steps. FRANKIE BRYAN, B. S. From Crewe came Frankie Bryan, and since that day we ' ve had Music! Ready and willing to give of her time and talent, she has furnished music for all our programs and class activities, and has shown her ingenuity in composing tunes for our songs. She ' s never without a bright smile and that gleam in her eyes. We crown you, Frankie, our lovely Queen of Mardi Gras. LOUISE BARLOW BRYAN, B. S. Skating across the hockey field, into the swimming pool, and dashing here and there — a regular girl-about-campus is Bryan from Tarboro, N. C. With that drily humorous expression of hers, she is the wit about any conversa- tion, and we often wonder what she ' ll say next! To know Bryan only for a short time is to feel that we have known her always, and her sincere friendliness puts us immediately at ease. DOROTHY NELL BUCKLAND, B. S. From the curl on her head to her immaculate little feet, Dorothy Buckland is consistent neatness in its daintiest form, for untidiness is farther from Dot than her home- town of Roanoke is from China. Don ' t count the mileage to prove it; just look at the books that she ' s kept as treasurer of the student council, as a member of which she has contributed untold service to the student body for four years. ELIZABETH LEWIS BURKE, B. S. As good as the sound of the name of her town is Burke, from St. Stephens Church. As president of the Granddaugh- ters ' Club and through her leadership in many other campus activities, she has won our love and respect. What will the Choral Club do next year? Where will advice-hunters and news-seekers turn? Burke ' s depar- ture means a great loss of good company. MABLE SWAN BURTON, B. S. A toss of her curls, a twinkle in her eyes, a dare-you grin, and there ' s Mable from Richmond, Virginia; just so much mischief topped off with a pile of great i deas for carrying it out. She ' s full of life, up and doing in her fun-loving way; President of the Monogram Club and a once and for always friend. ALMA HARRIS BUTTERWORTH, B. S. Where there ' s fun, there ' s laughter, and where there s laughter, there ' s Army clowning again! Her real name is Alma (though we don ' t recognize it at first). Army is from DeWitt, Virginia, and is a partner in the Britton- Butterworth dance team. Remember when she stole the prize in our Junior sing? She is always on hand with her friendly grin and those catch ideas that put things over. SARAH BUTTON, B. A. With her true Chris- tian spirit, Sarah, of Farmville, has added much of worth and benefit to our college through her various activities. Earnest and sincere, with red-gold curls and a quiet dignity, she has won our love and admiration as a successful president of our Y. W. C. A., and has proved a leading force in our college life. JUANITA CARSON, B. S. Flashing a delight- ful smile that seems to express her personality better than words, Juanita has added immeasurably to our school life. An ability to sing beautifully is only one of the arts in which she is accomplished. All who have known her in school have found knowing her an experience unexcelled. She is one of whom Farmville should be proud. FRANCES CARROLL, B. S. With blue eyes beaming and blonde loveliness growing, Frances comes to us from Portsmouth. A veteran promtrotter, she has good material evidence of her winning charm and attractiveness. Wearing beautiful clothes with a smart dignity, h ranees lends an air of distinction to any gathering. Keenly intelligent as well as personable, she will be sorely missed next year. VIRGINIA CARROLL, B. S. A long ray and two short rahs for Farmville ' s All-American Jenny, president of our Athletic Association, from Rocky Mount, Virginia. With a little pout and stride all her own, she rings goal after goal with that good old spirit that brings victory to varsity and makes her the toast of every team. Though a career could be hers, she is dubious. Which will it be, Jenny — luff or a career? ELLEN MAE CONYERS, B. S. Chester, Vir- ginia, has sent us Ellen, one of the most prominent athletes in the school. A physical education major and secretary of the Monogram Club, Ellen has been an active participant in hockey, basketball, swimming, and tennis. Her favorite pastimes when she is resting from her athletic program are knitting and crocheting. NANCY COOLEY, B. A. Minute Nancy, who calls Pulaski her home-town, has made school a cheerier place for us all with her sunny smile and blithe spirit. Vividly brunette, she flashes her dark eyes in a manner that makes her distinctive charm apparent to all. Her loss will be felt by many next year. HELEN ARTHUR COSTON, B. S. Brunette and dignified, Helen hails from Lynchburg, Virginia. Adding much to our school life with her intelligence and understanding, she will be long remembered. Helen possesses an attraction that makes friends easily for her, and, once made, her absolute dependability holds them. Reliable as well as versatile, she combines the virtues of an all-round fine person. ELIZABETH NORMENT CRALLE, B. S. I know I ' d know that laugh anywhere; we can ' t be mis- taken. Yes — we are right, it ' s Dibby Cralle herself in her usual good humor ready for some fun. Dibby doesn ' t play all the time, however; sometimes she ' s quite serious, believe it or not. And she is known to be quite an accomplished musician. She is very versatile in that she can sing anything from the classic to jazz and it sounds good. BETTY SUE CUMMINGS, B. S. Full of wit and humor, and with an appreciation for good books that seems to take her into another world, Betty Sue from Big Stone Gap, Virginia, often gives expression to her clever thoughts and beautiful ideas through poetry which is typical of her happy disposition and her lively imagination. CHARLOTTE DAVIS, B. S. Eminent in the field of science — biology, chemistry or physics — and equally versed in one of the fine arts — music — is Char- lotte from Blackstone, Virginia. Charlotte transferred to Farmville from Blackstone College, but in spite of having been here only two years, she has made a host of friends with her cheery smile and genial disposition. YETIVE SUE DAWSON. B. S. The township of Saxe sends us Yetive, whose interests have been mainly in the A Cappella Choir and home economics. She is a girl who doesn ' t believe too much in studying or work — you know how it is! She always seems to smile and has a friendly word for everyone. Although she loves her Alma Mater, she has a soft spot in her heart for dear old W. and L. U. LOUISE DeJARNETTE, B. S. Louise hails from Clarkton, Virginia. Though slightly quiet and reserved, she has made knowing her a pleasure for everyone. A firm and loyal friend, she brings happiness to all who deal with her. She has the extraordinary quality of unusual trustworthiness, and may be implic- itly relied upon. Next year her loss will be felt by all of us. ELSIE DODD, B. S. For lovely belles come wed- ding bells! And from Richmond comes Elsie Dodd, with forget-me-not eyes and golden hair. With a blonde loveliness that seems really permanent, Elsie always manages to look cool and dainty and just-brushed, even in her excitement and enthusiastic work for the good old class of ' 39. ADELAIDE DRESSLER. B. S. Adelaide Dres- sier from Covington, Virginia, president of Gamma Psi, has won the admiration of many friends with her quiet composure and the capable management of her responsibilities. Tall, dignified, she is also quite the breaker of hearts! ANNE DUGGER, B. S. Here comes Anne Dug- ger of Farmville, with an arm full of slick, new, blue-backed issues of the Colonnade. Little Dugger has a deep appreciation for beautiful things, and she ' s such a funster along with it. Still getting the Dean ' s List grades, she ' s really worked wonders as Editor-in- Chief of the Magazine, surprising us with new tricks and quirks in every issue. VERA EBEL, B. S. One hundred per cent anima- tion is Vera Ebel from Richmond, who has been on the job to help with all her heart in everything we ' ve done. She is frank enough to be thoroughly genuine, crazy enough to feature It Happened One Night in Monte Carlo, and dependable and conscientious enough to be the adored president of our class. We ' ll remember Ebo with her bright, sparkling eyes, making a success of every undertaking. BLANCHE ELLIS, B. S. A sweet sadness al- ways seems to haunt the features of our schoolmate from Gasburg, Virginia. Opposing effervescence Blanche shows how friendly good-nature toned by a natural reserve really is. She is always ready to join in the fun and frolic. There is nothing boisterous in her actions, though, to deny the aloofly pure look on her face. MARTHA EVANS, B. S. A glow of expression in deep blue eyes, an April charm in her smile, a whole- hearted sincerity — these are elements of abiding satis- faction to all who have known Martha Evans of Mere- dithville, Virginia. Martha has successfully joined reading and a love for the out-of-doors with a taste for poetry, hiking, and flowers. Despite a seeming casualness, her partiality to a certain organization — namely the K. A. fraternity — is very evident. MIRIAM VANNERSON FICKLEN, B. S. An aristocratic air of dignity and a graceful carriage suggests Ficklen from Mount Airy, North Caro- lina — one whose dark beauty and gracious, charming manner are the essence of poise and refinement. She has a suggested air of mystery in that she is the prize keeper of secrets. Her ability to lead people and a remarkable capability for organizing have been large- ly responsible for the success of many undertakings. EDITH CLAIRE FITCH, B. S. Diminutive Edith of Washington, D. C, is a transfer from Get- tysburg College. Her talents in voice, piano, and dance have made her an integral part of the Music Depart- ment and Orchesis. Characterized by an antipathy for Coca-Colas, a weakness for West Point, and a rare capacity for work, Fitch is the energy element of the class. JANE WOOD FOWLER, B. S. Jane of Black- stone, Virginia, conscientious and studious, has a very sincere and friendly manner. She spends many profit- able and enjoyable hours reading, for she likes infor- mational books as well as fiction. This of course helps us to understand her love of English. Jane is very fond of music and is a member of the College Choir. She dislikes sewing and cooking and is quite tem- peramental. ALPHA LEE GARNETT, B. S. Alpha Lee from Richmond, Virginia, with her soft, drawling voice, and the fine dramatic ability that she presented as heroine of Outward Bound, is capable of taking the lead in more than dramatic club activities, for her unusual personality holds good both on stage and off. MILDRED VIRGINIA GENTRY, B. S. For four years our class has been dependent upon Gen- try of Crozet, for the accomplishment of these weari- some behind-the-scenes tasks which never receive due recognition. Her never-failing services have ranged from support on the class basketball and volley ball teams, to the utilization of her artistic talents for numer- ous decorative projects — all with a remarkable spirit of unselfishness, an unassuming air. LAVELETTE LENA GLENN, B. S. A cheery word, a sunny smile, and you have Lavelette. Out- standing in studies as well as extra-curricular activ- ities, she has many interests: home economics, art, bas- ketball, needlework — but especially a certain radio program from South Carolina. Technically speaking, we wonder if this is a heart or domestic prospect for that fair young maid from Prospect. THERESA ANN GRAFF. B. S. Hail to the Queen! Divinely tall and most divinely fair, Theresa comes before us. However, her dark love- liness is not her only asset by any means. Theresa is held by all who know her as extremely capable, tal- ented, and of utmost versatility. She is sure to be remembered not only for her poise and assurance in everyday school life, but for her undisguisable charm in everything she does. Roanoke has reason to be proud of her. NANCY HOLLY GRAY. B. S. Are you ready? — One two! One two! — Let ' s go, team! Where ' s all the noise coming from? That ' s Nancy Gray, our cheer leader, from Roanoke. Whenever something ' s happening, she ' s right there, and ten to one she s in it. Good old Gray — she ' s a jolly one. As for school spirit, she has shown it in good measure through her work in the Y and as Business Manager of the VIRGINIAN. Here ' s hoping you ' ll be managing as well next year. Gray. Can you bake a pie? HELEN E. GREENE, B. S. Graduation will probably be a minor event in Helen ' s life because wedding bells are soon to ring for her; then she can no longer call Staunton, Virginia, home. We love Helen because of her sincerity and admire the de- pendability and ingenuity she showed in chairmaning the Costume Committee for May Day. NETTE HESTER GREGORY. B. S. Stovall, North Carolina, gives us a girl who, loving a good time and plenty of fun, acquires both by being a good sport. Most unusual, however, is the fact that Nette Gregory is one of the few people who can be entirely frank without offending or hurting anyone. Nette should go far with her work in biology after June. CAROLINE TEMPLE GWATHMEY. B. S. A strong sense of humor characterizes all of the actions of this senior, who has devoted her time to so many varied interests. As president of the A. C. E., she has proved herself an efficient and popular leader. Her love of music and her high ideals blend to form a true artist that both Walkerton, Virginia, and S. T. C. honor and love. KATHERINE LEONA HABEL, B. S. Rank- ing with the girls who are always sweet and gentle is Katherine Habel, who lives in Jetersville, Virginia. She has a tolerant, easy-going attitude that makes her always welcome everywhere, and she is one whom we will miss extending a welcome to. DOROTHY LYNN HATCHER, B. S. Doro- thy ' s clear gray eyes indicate the sincerity and straight- forwardness which everyone who knows her admires in her character. Along with these qualities she has a grand sense of humor, and she is always ready for fun. Dot is planning to be married soon after gradua- tion — to a man who seems to spend most of his spare time calling her on the phone. Her home is near Salem, Virginia. SARAH WHITTINGTON HAYES, B. S. Ad- venture, mystery, fortune, and fate — love of all these hides behind the reserved dignity of Sarah Hayes from Hilton Village, Virginia. Although she possesses a poise that has carried her through many hard tasks without any trouble, beneath the perfect mask is a spirit that loves and holds in awe all references to the supernatural. As she loves the unknown, so we love the known, a group of which she is an outstanding member. DOROTHY VIRGINIA HENDERSON, B. S. A week-end trip to V. P. I. and another member of the class of ' 39 joined the ranks of the wearers of the diamond ! Dot is a play ful one, is the leader of gossips, for she can always find out something about everyone. There ' s one subject, however, that ' s her pet when it comes to topics for conversation, but she lives in terror of any action on the part of Chi! ROSE ALLEN HIGGINBOTHAM, B. S. Need a fourth at bridge or want to hear a good story — then Rose Al from Tazewell, Virginia, is the very person you are looking for . . . that is, if you can rout her out of bed where she is either working a cross-word puzzle or reading some best seller. Rose Al ' s lovely coal- black hair and stunning clothes have made for her a permanent place in our memories. RUTH MARTIN HILL, B. S. From Roanoke, Virginia, comes a vivacious little girl whose dark hair and eyes and ability to judge human nature make her sought after by all who wish to know their fortunes. Although she has been at S. T. C. only a year, Ruth has gone places because of her keen interest in people and her unfailing enthusiasm. EVELYN VIRGINIA HOLMES, B. S. Teacher turns student — that ' s the way it has been with Evelyn. Having completed a most successful year at Whitmell, Virginia, in 1938, she returned this year to get her degree. It ' s not all work for Evelyn though, who loves a good time, and exciting experiences as well as Dutch figures and flowers. Union Level, Virginia, is Eve- lyn ' s home town. FRANCES HOLLOWAY, B. S. Even as she has often and effectively spoken for the school, the name of this girl from Smithfield, Virginia, now speaks for itself. Frances is a cheerful and pleasant girl who al- ways seems to be working hard on some important project. Indeed, her well-earned success in school has been one important task after the other. THELMA LACY HOUPE, B. A. Our own Farmville sent S. T. C. another one of its willing and ready workers in Thelma, who has in her obliging sweetness a most endearing charm. She has a friendly smile, and she uses it constantly to win and hold friends. Her loyalty and helpfulness have been a strengthening force in her class of ' 39. LeNOIR WALTON HUBBARD, B. A., B. S. Editing The Rotunda is the strenuous job that LeNoir, with her cleverness and capability, has performed this year. Each week she made the paper as informative and interesting as she, herself, is to us. Coming from nearby Crewe, Virginia, she has worked consistently hard during her memorable years at S. T. C. NANCY LOUISE HUNTER, B. S. Richlands, Virginia, is the home town of Nancy, who is fortunate in having fathomless brown eyes that clearly foretell a deep-seated feeling of understanding and companion- ableness. Always imparting a calm sense of security to her friends, Nancy is invaluable because of her cheerful prudence. FRANCES MAGILL HUTCHESON, B. S. Spring play, fall play, curtains, settings, and footlights — these remind us of Frances, from Lexington, Vir- ginia, who through her many responsibilities as Presi- dent of the Dramatic Club has remained her calm, cool, and capable self. Reserved? Yes, but not enough to keep the reserve from melting in a good gab-session. VIRGINIA EPES IRBY, B. S. From just across the street comes Jinny Epes. Every fall she appears at school with a beautiful tan from an entire summer at Virginia Beach. How we envy her! We envy her also her power of perfectly amazing frankness with everybody about many things. She has a wonderful gift of gab and is always in the middle of fun. No one who has known Jinny Epes will ever forget her lovely blonde hair, her singing voice, and her distinct individuality. FRANCES IRVING. B. S. Portsmouth has sent us popular Frances. In a lovely, throaty voice, she is always ready to converse amiably and entertain graci- ously. Among the first to follow every good movement, she has backed up her class loyally during her four short years here. Her lovable lightness and love of flirtation have endeared her to all of us. MARY GIBBONY JACKSON, B. S. Mary ' s days have been stamped with a devotion to her own high ideals and those of the school. Her essential har- mony with others has made her serve excellently as President of the Student Standards Committee. Com- ing from Richmond, Mary is a confirmed devotee of horesback riding and teaching. Her beauty, her never- failing sense of humor, her infectious laugh have made acquaintance with her a de light and intimacy an ideal. VIRGINIA MARION JARMAN, B. A. Ginna, thirty-nine ' s playgirl preeminent, is a major in art. The possessor of an A-l disposition — always ready for a good time and as serious in her plans for capturing CHI banners as she is in her willingness to help with any task — she hails from Crozet, Virginia. LOUISE IVA JONES, B. S. A fast flying needle — the hum of a machine — a new dress — and all be- cause Louise likes to sew even better than she likes to listen to music played in the Lombardo style, and she likes that plenty. Whether playing or studying, Louise does both with the same reserved manner. ANNE WALDEN KELLY, B. S. With a will- ingness to help in any situation, Anne, from Warren- ton, Virginia, is always on the job with suggestions and an effort to get things done. She goes at any task with a determination that wins, and is a home economics major that is going places. ELVIRA McGEHEE LIGON, B. S. With that systematic method of hers, Elvira goes at her work with a never-failing energy and ambition. Her en- thusiasm and unselfish spirit, and conscientiousness will always bring her through any undertaking, and if there ' s any humor attached to the situation, you can count on Elvira ' s giggle. LEAH MARSH, B. S. With a smile that really cheers, Leah Marsh has shown her deep sincerity to us all since the day she left Miskimon, Virginia. When there ' s a spare moment, she either grabs a book or finds the nearest piano. Being something of an artist and athlete, Leah works both in the Choir and in class sports. CATHERINE EDMONIA MAYNARD, B. S. Catherine Maynard from Williamsburg, Virginia, is geniality itsel f. In addition to a debonair mien and exuberant spirit, she possesses a fundamental quality as practical as her lighter moods are playful. During her career here she has exhibited an interest in dra- matics — and, though alien to curncular activities, it is rumored that she has remarkable partiality for foot- ball captains. DORIS RUTH MILLER, B. S. Doris Miller, from Winston-Salem is distinguished by a composed demeanor, impervious to disappointment, which has stood her in good stead throughout four years of ear- nest endeavor. A steadfast zeal and devotion to her work have been the cause of her name ' s being regularly on the Dean ' s List. An amiable nature and youthful buoyancy have claimed for her many friendships. CHARLOTTE MAE MINTON, B. S. The queenly poise of Charlotte Minton from Roanoke, Vir- ginia is a perfect mirror of her dignity of character. Her engaging smile, discriminating taste, and well-groomed appearance serve to personify the idealistic qualities of her personality. On Student Council and as President of Alpha Kappa Gamma she has displayed and ac- complished scholarship and competency. CHARLOTTE ELIZABETH MORTON, B. A. Charlotte Morton ' s unexampled popularity is due to a nature at once sympathetic and understanding. To all who have known her she has given an instant and enthusiastic appreciation, as well as an inspiring opti- mism. Her leisure time she has spent in a devotion to singing and in participation in the work of the A Cappella Choir. Charlotte is from Drake ' s Branch, Virginia. ELIZABETH LAMBERT MOSS. B. S. Quietly efficient is Alexandria ' s contribution to S. T. C. in the form of blonde Betty Moss. She is always busily working, but she manages so inconspicuously that we never realize she ' s managing until she has triumphantly put over her project. Many church and school activ- ities owe their success to Betty ' s efforts. MARGARET MOTLEY, B. S. If anyone has fun, it ' s Motley from Chatham, Virginia. Whenever you see her, she is always laughing, eating, or doing something interesting — just having fun. She, however, seems to believe that pleasure shouldn ' t interfere with business. She has been very efficient and successful in the newspaper business for several years, as well as in her school work; and that ' s quite a job! CATHERINE MEADE NEALE, B. A. The North has sent us a most prized possession. From Denora, Pennsylvania, comes little Meade, who has won our hearts and held them. With all her gay charm and personality, she carries a level head and may be relied upon. Even while she sings of angels (and the lack of them), we may see her slight shyness and dis- tinctive modesty. Completely lovable, Meade will be missed by all next year. CLARA TROWER NOTTINGHAM, B. S. From Eastville, Clara brings us many separate abilities concealed beneath a carefree exterior. Possessing a slim charm that few can ignore, she has supplemented an untold amount to Orchesis, May Day Program, and now to May Court. She has shown a remarkable executive ability as secretary of her class, and bril- liantly performed in dramatic productions. With her beauty, versatility, and dramatic aptitudes, Clara should take what she wants from life. CATHERINE STARKE PILCHER, B. A. Poise and integrity are the chief distinctions of Catherine, who comes from Lexington, Virginia. As an officer in the Latin club, she has shown undenied ability. A calm reserve, combined with ingrained cleverness and an undying loyalty to those she loves, has won for her many friends. MARY WANDA PORTERFIELD, B. A. Rol- ling her R ' s and delighting to try every new shade of fingernail polish from rose to deep purple comes Mary Wanda straight from Newport, Virginia. Her nickname Butterfinger certainly doesn ' t apply to the ability with which she has obtained her major in math- ematics. Having a love of pretty china and cut glass, Mary Wanda detests March winds and freckles. AMY LOUISE POWELL, B. S. Who hasn ' t listened to one of Amy ' s frequent narrations of her wild dream of the night before? Recounting night- mares, reading love stories, and making fishing trips at Wachapreague, her home town — all are included in the wide scope of her diversions. Generous and sincere. Amy has just the right proportion of play to serious- ness. Whether the occasion is gay or grave, it never finds her at fault. ANNE ELIZABETH PRINCE, B. S. Elizabeth is one of the few people who are gifted with ability to work hard and play hard with equal ability. She has a pleasant disposition and an attractive personality — in fact, she is a grand person in every way. This year she has been a most successful circulation manager for The Rotunda. Her home is Capron, Virginia. NELLIE FLOYD PUTNEY, B. S. Just to see Nellie, who is a native of Farmville, you would never know what she ' s really like. She doesn ' t look as if she ' d take anything very seriously, but Nellie does. She ' s one of our A students, was an excellent teacher at Curdsville, and is smart enough to settle nearly all the problems of the world on her last exams. Along with it all, Nellie is always grand fun! AMERICA SELOSSE QUINONES, B. S. Am- erica, from San German, Puerto Rico, is one of our few foreign students, and also one of our few married students. Although she has been at Farmville only two years, she has made many friends in the student body. America will be remembered for her pleasant personality, her friendly smile, and her willingness to cooperate with teachers and students alike. ANNA SNOW RAMSEY, B. S. Anna Snow is the envy of many girls because she wears a diamond and can really cook those wonderful Smithneld, Vir- ginia, hams which her home town boasts. She is presi- dent of the Home Economics Club and has made for herself a permanent place on the Dean ' s List and in our hearts. ELIZABETH DANTON RAWLINGS, B. S. From Birds Nest, Virginia, comes Elizabeth Rawlings. She is so tiny and cuddly looking that she is almost exactly like a talking doll. Tizzie is always bub- bling over with good humor — especially when she ' s just heard from Kip . Her favorite extra-curricular activity, when she ' s not playing practical jokes on her suite-mates, is sleeping. RUTH HAYWOOD READ, B. S. Ruth has wisdom in her head, but far be it from her to use it u nless absolutely necessary. Her keen wit and amazing vocabulary furnish amusement for the whole hall. Ruth and her roommate, Mary Frances, have the utmost patience, keeping open house till the wee small hours, being much too polite to tell their guests to leave. Ruth comes to us from Palmer Springs, Virginia. PAULINE NELL REID. B. A. Pauline comes to us from Keysville, Virginia, and has been valuable in her work in the library here. She is quiet, depend- able, and ambitious. Pauline ' s one ambition is to be- come librarian, and she expects to continue her studies at the University of Virginia. A lover of all forms of literature, she finds pleasure in her work in the library. FLOSSIE HALL REYNOLDS, B. S. We are sorry that the fact that Flossie is a day student has kept us from knowing her better. She has commuted from her home in Prospect, Virg inia, to classes, and has spent very little of her time at school. Quiet and unassuming, Flossie has a determination and sincerity that will surely bring her success. MARY FRANCES RICE, B. S. Mary, a bru- nette from Portsmouth, Virginia, is a leader in the Methodist Young People ' s Organization. She ranks among the highest in scholastic work as well as extra- curricular activities. Quiet and dependable she has a sympathetic nature and a willingness to help others. She has a deep appreciation for the finer things of life. KATHERINE S. ROBERTS, B. S. A real artist with deepest appreciation of beauty in all forms, is Kitty from Nassawadox on the Eastern Shore. She has a gift for winning and keeping the confidence of people, and yet when the time comes for a playful jag, she is leading again. Modesty and a genuine sincerity characterize a personality and character which remind us that Beauty is truth, and truth, beauty. FLORENCE MARY ROWETT, B. S. Florence wouldn ' t be recognized as Annie Athlete, but she ' s one of our versatile physical education majors. She ' s excellent at hockey and is a fine dancer. We hear that she, in addition to this, is also a wonderful ice skater and is practically in competition with Sonja Henie — what hard luck that we have no ice with such talent in our midst! DOROTHY VIOLA RUDDER, B. A. Have I got on too much make-up? Is this right? asks Dorothy whom some big attraction lures to Brookneal, Virginia, every week-end. To think of Dot is to think of Mary Wanda or the chuckling laugh she accents each sen- tence with. While she likes almost everything and cer- tainly everybody, Dot wastes no love on colored veils. MARY ANNE SAN DERSON, B. S. Another of Eastern Shore ' s delegation to Farmville is Mary Anne from Bird ' s Nest. Along with scholastic excel- lence and a permanent berth on the Dean ' s List, Mary Anne has a quaint sense of humor and an ami- able disposition. She has proved herself hard working and dependable and has efficiently executed for one quarter her duties as Chairman of Student Day Chapel. GERALDINE BECKWITH SANDIDGE, B. S. The first thing that everyone says about Becky is, Oh, she loves to have a good time — and she ' s so much fun. However, this fun does not interfere with her studies, nor does it hinder her from writing poetry, for which she is well-known here at school. Becky is very fond of bananas and very, very fond of Shadrack, Meschack, and Abednigo. She hails from Amherst, Virginia. MARTHA BEVERLY SEXTON, B. S. With a broad grin and a gay toss of that famous red rain- hat, Beverly passes by us. A confirmed jitterbug, she nevertheless has the unshakable qualities of good humor, generosity, and sportsmanship which account for the happiness and popularity of her school life. Be- ing from Raleigh, North Carolina, she supports Duke with the same brand of loyalty with which she supports her class of ' 39. LUCY FINCH SMITH, B. S. Lucy Finch, who calls Chase City, Virginia, home, has lived out in town except during the quarter when she lived in the Home Management House. So we have not known her as well as we would have liked to — yes, she is a home economics major and because of her remarkable apti- tude for cooking and other domestic duties will cer- tainly find her way to some man ' s heart. VIRGINIA WHITEHEAD SMITH, B. S. A fast basketball game, a serious bull session, a round of mischief, original decorations for dances, unrecognized backstage work of various kinds — all these are a small part of Virginia ' s valuable contribution to our four years of college. Few words cannot do justice to one from Princess Anne, Virginia, whose influence has deeply affected those with whom she has come in con- tact. VIRGINIA WINSTON SMITH. B. S. Ginna, from Dunbarton, Virginia, prom-trotted to V. P. I. for years, but now has her eyes and heart set on sunny California. Her ability to design clothes is envied by all the other home economics majors, and we have reason to believe that she will go far in this field. Her many friends that she leaves behind will miss her greatly next year. MARGUERITE H. SNELL, B. S. Phenix, Vir- ginia, gave us Marguerite, whose pet aversion is climb- ing steps, and of course she lived on third floor! Don ' t get in an argument with her because she is a debater and a chemist and gets the facts every time. Her ability is shown by the fact that she has worked in the Business Office for two years keeping the time straight for the N. Y. A. girls. Her smile, lovely brown eyes, and soft voice will surely be missed next year. MARGARET STALLARD, B. S. Stallard, who comes to us from Fairfield in the Bluegrass land of Kentucky, won our hearts with her laugh and funny pronunciation. As president of the Cotillion Club she graced receiving lines, and her perfect figure won for her a place in May Court. No bull session is complete without Stallard, for her gift of gab is wonderful, and the halls will be silent next year without her cheery greetings. SARAH FRANCES STEED, B. S. Dirt! Dirt! Anyone know any dirt? Steed on the trail for The Rotunda not only saw it all but told it, too. She likes music, and was one of the most valuable members of the A Cappella. Her fun-loving nature and sunny dis- position make her a pleasure to know. Always on the go there isn ' t much she isn ' t into. Steed is from Mere- dithville, Virginia. PATTIE ODELLA STOVALL, B. S. Do you want your hair to look particularly nice for the dance? Then see Dell. And while she is making you beau- tiful, she will entertain you royally with her imitations of well-known campus figures. Dell from Baskerville, Virginia, doubled upon us and finished in December. Since then, the place hasn ' t seemed the same, but we are all envious of her good job and wish her great success. MARY MADGE SULLENBERGER, B. S. Mary can make the most lush candy in school as those who are lucky enough to get some of it know. This isn ' t the only thing Mary can do well, for her method of playing Hop Ching is quite professional. Seemingly indifferent, frank almost to the point of bluntness, she, in reality, is one of the most friendly and understanding girls in school. Monterey must be proud of her. ANNIE LAURIE TAYLOR. B. S. Annie Laurie, with her calm and somewhat placid manner, is very easy to get along with. Her gentle manner and pleasing disposition have made for her many friends. She is not one to worry about the future but takes things as they come or go with calm assurance. She is from Oak Hall, Virginia. JEAN DUPUY TAYLOR. B. S. Jean, who calls Lexington, Virginia, home, can tell exactly what orchestra you are listening to before they finish the first measure of their theme song and always seems to be able to find Kay Kyser somewhere on the dial. She has been a zealous worker in the Dramatic Club, par- ticularly in the lighting group. Her hearty hello and impish grin will long be remembered. VIRGINIA LEE TAYLOR, B. S. From Bridge- ville, Delaware, comes one of Farmville ' s Yankees, Ginny Lee. The sort of person who almost knocks you off your feet (literally) with playful enthusiasm. A person ready at any time for the most mischievous of pranks, yet an interesting participant in those frequent sessions more on the serious side. Ginny Lee is affec- tionate and unselfish and has definitely made a reputa- tion as the campus big tease. FRANCES MAY TERRELL, B. S. Though a physical education major with a particular fondness for dancing and swimming, May from Beaver Dam, Vir- ginia, also has a warm spot in her heart for all activities pertaining to home economics. A very sincere and dependable nature coupled with a love of doing crazy and unusual things and a mischievous and wholesome laugh have made for her many frien ds. DAVID WILLIAMS TERRY. B. S. Although it may be French or Latin for you, it ' s Biology in capital letters for David. An excellent student in all fields, she particularly shows her ability in science. Serious, capable, dependable, a good worker, she can always be counted on, whatever may happen. David is grand fun. She comes from Newport News, Virginia. MARGARET RUTH THARP, B. S. Margaret Ruth Tharp is known to all her friends by her funny, infectious giggle. She has a more serious side, too — she loves music and art, and she has a deep appreciation of beauty. A home economics major, Margaret Ruth is really absorbed in her work in this field. Her favorite school (besides her Alma Mater) is V. P. I. Her home is in Norfolk, Virginia. MARY FRANCES THOMAS, B. S. Wizard of the Chinese Checker board and a lover of fun in whatever form it may come is Mary Frances Thomas. Although she has a quiet humor, it is none the less present. Mary Frances ' passion for eating at any time and any place accounts for her always having delicious boxes from her home — in Skipwith. MARY ELIZABETH TINDALL, B. S. Hal- ton, Virginia, gave us our truly shy and sweet home- maker. Elizabeth is always conciliatory and soothing, and yet she is spirited and, joining every discussion heartily, always manages to make no adversaries. A sincere modesty is one of her greatest charms, and her sympathetic face is one that attarcts and holds friends. MARGARET RANDOLPH TUCKER, B. S. History, forward and backward, is the field wherein lies much of her interest. Her conscientious work and loyalty makes her a valuable member of almost any organization, and her dry and unexpected wit is a source of delight to her friends. Her home town is Champe, Virginia. VIRGINIA READ TURNER, B. S. Virginia Read transferred to Farmville after a year at Fred- ericksburg State Teachers College. She is one of our champion golfers and one of the tea room ' s star boarders. Almost every week-end we find her taking off for her home in Blackstone, Virginia. Her gift of gab and extraordinary ability to bull have stood her in good stead in most of her classes. MARTHA LOUISE TURNES. B. S. Louise, who is from Concord Depot, Virginia, is always so bright and vivacious that unconsciously she passes on some of her sparkle to people around her. She is one of the youngest members of the Class of ' 39. Louise is expecting to teach after graduation, but we predict that she won ' t be an old maid school teacher long. ELIZABETH LEE TYREE, B. S. Depend- ability and puns, cheerfulness and the gift o ' gab — this is Dibbs. She calls Danville her home town, but she can enjoy a game of Do You Know? with any- one. Dibbs was the official Joan of Arc of Sing until she lost her crowning glory . . . and that s the long and short of it. Without her quiet gayety and dis- tinctive personality, we shall be at a definite loss next year. LUCY BYRD VAUGHN. B. S. The Science Building never opens its doors in the gray hours of the dawn that Byrd is not on the doorstep (don ' t take us too literally) waiting to begin another day ' s work or delve into the baffling depths of some Chemistry experiment. She is one of the few people in school that have dared to brave the scientific and mathematical fields, and she has done remarkably well. In spite of her aptitudes in this line, Byrd, who is from Burke- ville, Virginia, has her share of playfulness, too. ELIZABETH von GEMMINGEN, B. S. Exud- ing an air of quiet dignity and refinement, Betty von has contrived to make her school life a valuable expe- rience. Culpeper is her home and she comes to us as a former student of Hollins. Cultured in every way, she invariably presents a trim appearance, choosing her clothes with tasteful discrimination. Competent, reliable, Betty von will leave a permanent emptiness in our hearts. LUCY WALKER, B. S. Chewing gum with an enthusiastic fervor and calmly walking on banister rails, Lucy Walker is charmingly appealing with her impulsive ways — yet just as admirable for her serious work on her major, home economics. She has an averson to talking about herself or being catty about anyone else. Lucy ' s home is in Rustburg, Virginia. SELMA BEALE WEST, B. S. From Newport News, Virginia, is another of those peo ple that fool you — in the sense that one minute she is holding the center of attention in a bull session and is speaking with an enviable poise and seriousness; then she ' ll be in one of her mischievous moods, and nothing can daunt her determination to carry out her pranks or can dim that devilish gleam in her eyes. Selma is one of those refreshing just so people whose just-soness doesn ' t get on one ' s nerves. MARJORIE DOUGHERTY WICKS, B. S. Wicks, who comes to us from Norfolk, occupies a special place in our hearts. She ' s an all-round person who ' s fun to be with, is as at home on a dance floor as in a bull session, and wears clothes that spell Mademoiselle. We ' ll remember that playful twinkle in those lovely eyes — and her hat on the back of her head as she took off for West Point, the Univer- sity, and points north, south, east, and west. ELOISE FRANCES WILLIAMS. B. S. A laugh, a bid raised, and the bridge game goes on with Eloise, one of the most ardent players. Watching the scene change, we find her listening now with equal enthusiasm to Wagner ' s Tannhauser, or Carmen. Her in- terests are not restricted to Newport News, but sail over the ocean to the University of Edinburgh in Scot- land. FRANCES ERMA WILLIAMS, B. S. A great big contagious smile, a cherry greeting — and we have none other than Frances. In fact, she has such a happy nature that it seems quite strange that her favo- rite color is blue. Maybe the other inhabitants of Victoria, Virginia, can explain. Frances seems to be easy-going, but if the occasion arises, she can work as persistently as the best of ' em. MARGARET ELIZABETH WILKERSON, B. S. A native of Farmville, Virginia, is Margaret, who is one of those ardent devotees of learning the ins and outs of politics. The knowing twinkle which appears in her eye when such subjects are men- tioned proves her knowledge of local affairs. Char- acterized by an unusual good humor, Margaret is the sort of person one seeks to brighten up a deep, dark mood. ELIZABETH GEORGE WILSON, B. S. An outstanding figure in her trim clothes, Lib George flashes us a glance from lovely blue eyes. Clear-cut and poised in her dramatic work, she has shown the same distinction in all her school activities. Her con- tagious laughter coupled with a marvelous ability to spin yarns (wild tales of Europe, for example) make her a wonderful person to know. Lexington is her home town. NANCY ELLEN WOODWARD, B. S. From Richmond, Virginia, comes stylish Nancy Woodward, who has developed into another startling enigma and a definite personality. Knowing her love for sleeping and reading, one would unhesitatingly think, Yes, a quiet girl. In love? Definitely. And yet some privileged few of us have caught her in those fun-loving, clowning moments when she holds us hysterical with laughter over her crazy pranks. NELLIE VIRGINIA YAGER, B. S. A smile that fairly glows with warmth and a cheery twinkle in her eye bespeak a nature characterized by friendliness and understanding. Such a person is Virginia, of Rochelle, Virginia — one who does the smallest task with willingness and the largest with machine-like efficiency. Her name is included on the roll of many honor societies; her keen sense of humor adds spice to any conversation. CARRIE REBECCA YATES. B. S. Though she has been at Farmville only two years, Carrie of Dry Fork, Virginia, has made for herself a place in the hearts of many friends. She is the sort of person one can depend on in a crisis, and her shyly quiet smile reflects an amiable and friendly spirit. SIDNEY GUY YONCE, B. S. As soon as Bunny ' s classmates discovered her age — she was just fifteen when she came here from Salem, Virginia — they christ- ened her Bunny, and Bunny it has been since then. Throughout four years devoted to class productions and activities. Bunny has maintained a good-humored and enviable composure. No catastrophe can ruffle her im- perturbable nature. As head of H O club, member of Orchesis, and willing participant in innumerable activ- ities, Bunny has been indispensable to her class. MARGARET ELIZABETH YOUNG, B. S. With the scent of Town and Country perfume, and a flash of a trim figure, Peggy passes by. Lending dis- tinction to the beautiful clothes she wears, she has an air of quiet dignity and charm. She will be remembered by all who know her as an example of conscientious good-sportsmanship and dependability. A replica of Vogue in smartness, she is one of whom Norfolk should be proud.

Junior Glass History Come on, ' sou new girls. Join With us old girls. It ' s red and white that we now cheer. Rah! rah! AND come on, all you other classes, to watch the Juniors L as they follow through another year with the class of ' 40. Things started off on the right foot with a hop and a skip at the kid party that the Juniors gave for their baby sisters, the Freshmen. Snow White brought the Dwarfs, and the kiddies enjoyed themselves to the tune of several hundred Dixie cups and lolly-pops. The Red and White won the color rush, and the Juniors helped things along by emerging from all the hockey matches — the winner! Then, once more, Jane Powell presented Miss Bedford, our classman, to the student body. This time living statues depicting all phases of life at S. T. C. were representative of Miss Bedford ' s interest in art. The Junior Circus skit took place way down upon the Swannee River with darkeys workin ' on the levee, strolhn ' ' bout the cabins, fryin ' fish, and, as twilight came and shadows fell, goin ' home. And now, while the spell of the old South lingers on, a rickety wharf, a bend in the river, and Here Comes the Show- boat with Cap ' n Henry, Mary Lou, Lanny, and all the lads and lassies holding forth in true Showboat style. Blues sing- ers — maidens tripping the light fantastic in the good old sum- mertime — a fan dance — Hattie ' s Syncopators — can we ever forget them as they swing T. Dorsey right out of the picture! All flowed together down the river with the Junior Show- boat Production! The days hurry on — Junior Sing — all the fun that Spring days bring — then Senior Chapel with its caps and gowns, tears — and the happy smiles of the Senior class of 1940!

Roanoke Left to right Sophomore Glass History NOW as Sophomores we stop a moment and think back. In the fall of 1938 we young things first sighted the fountains and ivy-covered walls of S. T. C. It was an entirely new situation for the most of us. So we selected one to guide and advise us. A great, big, cheery smile now rve add, A personality that ' s never sad. Put them all together — it ' s a cinch. Ladies and gentlemen, We give you — Mr. French! Our classman! We ' ve worked with him, laughed with him. This year we enjoyed an oyster roast at Longwood with him. Christmas rolled around, and so did a Christmas party with a real Santa Claus and toys for everyone. For success there must be a leader. We chose an able one, Ruth Lea Purdum. As proof of her ability she stands again at the head of our class. Never shall we forget the reign of terror — rat week. We feared Mary Page and her happy co-workers more than the infirmary. There was no escape. We hung pictures, swept rooms, carried laundry. The style was straight hair and no make-up. Then came the peace treaty and a return to normal life. Rat week from the point of view of the sophomores was something to be enjoyed, too. We couldn ' t have done without Bess and Jenny. With great dignity, Hoskins performed the ceremony and read sentences to the victims. The time came when all fancies turned to thoughts of — Circus, and we came through on top. Caralie Nelson, chief gazer into the great spaces of Nowhere-but-Everywhere, caught sight of Ferdinand and the Bull. The next object of her perception was Flossy, the strong, lifting a 2000 pound weight (cardboard). Jittery jitterbugs went into their dance. Wild animals roamed abroad. The circus was in town. Sausage and Sweepstakes was our dramatic undertaking as freshmen. To the tune of nursery rhymes and poetry, we introduced Norma a winsome Cinderella, Pappa Liggie, and other interesting characters. This year for a while we were Paging Frannie. Chub- by ' s refreshing soprano proved to be a clue. We followed it to Ma Worsham Murphy ' s theatrical boarding house. There among Juggle Jim Pierpont, Eddy Petticrew, Ophelia Cecilia Bryant, and Sophisticate Fahr, we found our long-lost Frannie Howell. We also discovered that the gal can sing! We ' ve participated in swimming meets, hockey games, and basketball games. Mary Sue has fought her way to the varsity squad as a real basketeer. Esther has a swing of her own on the hockey field. Vic Tanner dives, dives, and dives some more. Living within your walls for two short years, we have come to love you, S. T. C. Nothing you ask is too much. We stand ready to serve!

Miss Royal], CI Lucy, Secretary; Speight, Vice-President; Shirley, Pr, Freshman Glass History ON the twentieth day of September, 1939, the sun didn ' t shine; the birds didn ' t chirp; in fact, nothing what- soever heralded a day which by fate, chance (or what have you), was destined to become a red letter day in the lives of some three hundred girls! On that day, midst all the mud puddles, galoshes, and other various and sundry hindrances to comfortable travel ; trains, buses, and cars filled with bag- gage, lamps, and picture galleries of varying sizes (sand- wiched in between doting parents!) arrived in Farmville. From the depths of these varied vehicles poured the members of the Class of ' 42! As do all freshmen in our college, they entered the Rotunda and mel, face to face, Joan of Arc, whose spirit was to be to them a guide and an inspiration for four years packed with new exp eriences. Their first step toward success was choosing Miss Royall as classman. And then came the terrors of Rat Week with the mighty sophomores sitting in judgment, and the freshmen doing their bidding with good natured humbleness. As weeks passed the baby class lost its coat of green and became another group united under Red and White colors. With the election of Anne Shirley as president, and Nell Speight, Betty Lucy, and Mary Katherine Dodson as the minor of- ficers, the Class became an organized and very real part of the school. Honors came to them early, when they won honorable mention with their midway show in the circus . . . dolls from many lands sang, danced and entertained the audience with comic skits. After Christmas, Miss Royal was presented to the student body as the bride of the Class of ' 42, given in marriage by a member of the Class of ' 38. For their first production, the freshmen astounded a large audience with their stage production, The Magic Carpet, a musical written by Elizabeth Ann Parker and Polly Hughes. Another year at Farmville is almost over, and another freshman class faces the new experience of being sophomores. They can look back on this year with a feeling of satisfaction for they have accomplished many worthwhile tasks, and have won the respect and admiration of the upper classes for their exuberant spirit and refreshing enthusiasm.

Sic ' em Hattie ' Gamma Psi ACRYSTAL-clear autumn night ; girls and boys in festive spirits; gaily colored dresses of filmy chiffons and rustling taffetas, and the dreamy syncopation of newer tunes. We have lived such scenes over and over again and each time there has been that extra touch which adds to the vivid- ness and liveliness of the occasion. Always the man be- hind the scenes is Gamma Psi. This honorary fraternity in art schemes and plans numerous times during the year to make beautiful, attractive, and striking dance decorations. One of the most outstanding accomplishments of Gamma Psi is the mural painted for the Training School. It can readily be seen upon entering the h all of the school, and it depicts a scene most attractive to children. Of this work we are truly proud. Then, too, we have presented art exhibits — lovely in original design. Here we find talent bursting from every object — streamlined lamps, delicate table decorations, and perfect designs done both in the abstract and realism.

I just can ' t find any one who wants it. In a few minutes the girl behind the desk hears someone ask, Do you have Horace ' s Odes? The sale is made, and a service is rendered to both girls. This is only one of the many incidents when the Alpha Phi Sigma Book Exchange has helped in obtaining books for the new quarter. The service given by the exchange can be appreciated fully only by one who has ever rushed madly from Whitehouse to Student to Senior Building in search of a book which has already been sold. The organization which sponsors this exchange is composed of girls who make good grades. No — they definitely aren ' t book worms. True scholars work for knowledge rather than for A ' s or B ' s. Al- pha Phi Sigma is made up of such students. Alpha Phi Sigma fosters scholarship in the school by recog- nizing students who make B average. Freshmen are eligible for membership upon their entrance at S. T. C. This privilege offers encouragement to them to maintain the high scholarship which they have ob- tained in high school. A bid to this fraternity is an honor in itself. An even greater pleasure is given by the opportunity to improve one ' s own record by advancing from novi- tiate to apprenticeship, then to the holding of the master ' s degree. _ _ m _ — — — 1 First ron , left to right: Holt, Allen, Howell.

BEORC Eh Thorn is an honor society in Eng- lish founded at Farmville in October, 1935. The three old English rune letters adopted for the name symbolize the quest for literature to which its members are pledged and the inspiration and dis- cipline which it affords. The membership of Beorc Eh Thorn is composed of the members of the English faculty and those girls who have made high averages in English and who have displayed appreciative ability, talent, and in- terest in literary study and in creative writing. Mem- bership in this society is not only a stimulus to literary achievement for students while they are in college, but is a source of excellent experience which will serve as a substantial foundation for later work as teachers in the state. The society meets once a month for programs con- sisting of the reading and discussing of current lit- erature and the creative efforts of the members. Through these programs and other opportunities afforded them, the members of Beorc Eh Thorn come in contact with faculty members who are true de- votees of the English Language and who give the students valuable guidance in literary pursuits, and inspire them to seek for and appreciate the true beauty of the classical and of modern literature. Besides recognizing the literary achievement of students, Beorc Eh Thorn has for its secondary pur- pose the support of the college magazine. In this endeavor the society gives prizes at the close of each year for the best essay, the best poem, and the best short story of the year published in the magazine. Beorc Eh Thorn ' s third purpose is bringing to the campus outstanding literary personalities of the day. Among those who have come to Farmville under the sponsorship of Beorc Eh Thorn are John Erskine and Richard Haliburton.

Sodalitas Latina WHEN in Rome, do as the Romans do, but we do as they do here at S. T. C, believe it or not. Now don ' t get us wrong, for we don ' t actually re- cline at the table, or wear Roman togas (sheets to you), or fight gladiatorial battles in the Circus Max- imus. However, through the Latin Club, we do get an appreciation of the Roman language and culture. The paterfamilies would scarcely recognize his own tongue under the guise of our strange pronunciations, but even with our blunders, we get the beauty and strength of a great language. Since Latin is no longer spoken, we don ' t make any attempt to use it to carry on a conversation about the weather. Yet, in moments when our self-confi- dence reaches its peak, we do try to sing some simple Latin songs. Latin may be dead to some people, but to us, it is vitally alive and full of fun. We enjoy laughing at the sophisticated devices used by Venus in getting her man as much as we do at those of some modern Jane.

SoCIUS HoNORATUS: Mr. James M. Grainger. TT is the purpose of Sigma Pi Rho, which was founded at Farmville in 1929, to foster, promote, and preserve a love for, and an interest in, the classics. Since the local honor society merged with that of Fairmont State Teachers College in West Virginia in 1932, five other chapters have been or- ganized. The chief project of the local chapter dur- ing the session 1938-1939 has been the publishing of the Tribuium, the national periodical, under the editorship of Catherine Pilcher. Every spring one of the chapters is the hostess of a convention, which, needless to say, is looked for- ward to with much pleasure by the guest members. As invariable as these conventions, and just as gaily received, are Miss Rice ' s parties, celebrated prin- cipally at Christmas and St. Valentine ' s Day. Thus, you see, mirabile dictu, Latin can be fun, too! Debate Club I ' HE Debate Club, through exciting trips and home encounters, endeavors to train girls for pub- lic speaking and debating. This work helps them to develop a fuller appreciation of the art of speaking. With a friendly cherrio! and a bah Jove! , the Anglo-Irish debate team appeared on our campus in the fall. In a lyceum number the Britishers met and debated our v arsity, Pattie Alston Bounds and Lorana Moomaw, in a humorous debate. December found Dr. Walmsley packing his car and driving off to South Carolina with his debaters, Marie Allen, Marjorie Ellett, Lorana Moomaw, and Elizabeth Ann Parker. There at Winthrop Col- lege ' s Dixie Tournament at Rock Hill, Farmville placed second and third. Tau Kappa Alpha Forensic Fraternity held its annual convention at Randolph-Macon College in the spring, and Farmville was invited and attended. Then, right on the heels of that, Winthrop ' s cry of the Grand Eastern Tournament, the best and largest of them all, sent the varsity squad, composed of Lorana Moomaw and Pattie Bounds, flying off to Rock Hill in April. Many other pleasant trips helped to advance our forensic relations, and they give our girls broader, fuller conceptions of the art of public speaking and debating.

Left to right: Moomaw, Bounds, Snell, Dr. Wain Holloway, Alle Pi Kappa Delta THE greatest honor that can come to a debater or an orator is to be elected to membership in Pi Kappa Delta, the largest forensic organization in the world. Virginia Alpha Chapter is always seeking to for- ward debating activities. This spring the chapter was hostess to the members of the Province of the South Atlantic, who met on the Farmville campus in a regional convention. Florence Bress, as general chair- man of the convention, assisted by Lorana Moomaw, Frances Holloway, and Pattie Bounds, and under the guidance of Dr. Walmsley, worked out the de- tails of the convention. With the willing help of other Farmville girls, they made the convention a success. Representing their college at other conventions, the Farmville girls, as always, brought back honors to our Alma Mater. Only after three years of forensic activity and after successful participation in a certain number of encounters in debating or oratory is a member eligible for the special distinction award. This, the diamond insignia key, the highest award of Pi Kappa Delta, is the goal that every varsity girl strives to attain.

VIRGINIA GAMMA CHAPTER Pi Gamma Mu IMMINENT in the field of social science is the ■ — ' Virginia Gamma Chapter of Pi Gamma Mu, which recognizes students having outstanding ability in all lines of social improvement. The center of in- terest throughout the year is the educational project. This year we concentrated on world affairs — which included the most prominent figures in this world crisis, the different forms of government, and the probable outcome of the conflicts going on today. Mardi Gras, an annual festivity sponsored by Pi Gamma Mu, has become the most important social event of the winter quarter. The queen and her court are first installed, and then prizes are given for those persons who have outstanding costumes. This year ' s Mardi Gras dance was unusually successful.

To this end it invites to membership only such persons as exhibit commendable personal qualities, worthy educational ideals, and sound scholarship. In December fifteen new members were initiated into Beta Epsilon Chapter. The initiation was fol- lowed by a banquet in the tea room. Candles, gay packages, Christmas carols, and holly heralded the approach of the holiday season. Science ! Art ! Psychology ! All of the various fields of knowledge are brought closer to us through speakers who appear on our programs. We strive to live up to our motto: Knowledge, Duty, Power — words fraught with the whole mean- ing of the educational ideal.

Not to mention propelling quacking Donald Ducks and squealing Mickey Mouses around to the rapid beat of gaily colored drums. Such was the atmosphere at the time of the Christmas Toy Exhibit given by the Association of Childhood Edu- cation. The A. C. E. is a national organization for nursery school, kindergarten, and primary grade teachers. It offers to lovers of little children not only an opportunity to increase profes- sional knowledge and resourcefulness in teaching but also the chance to grow professionally. Interesting and worthwhile programs have been sponsored each month in accordance with its goal, which is to promote teacher growth as a person, teacher, and citizen. Lectures and programs have introduced new fields of thought, and various activities have opened up a wider field for research. The A. C. E. member is proud to be a partic- ipant in the essential and influential art of guiding little children through the early years of mental and spiritual development.

Le Gercle Francais A RE we going to Pans this summer? Well, the answer may be no now, but perhaps, it won ' t be so always. Who knows but that someday we shall go to France for the week-end, and very nonchalantly think nothing of it! Since we are looking forward to that day, we are at the present trying to get a workable knowledge of the language. Our French classes help us a lot, but the French Circle serves as a laboratory where we can test our routine class work in a social atmosphere. It ' s such fun to receive an invitation like this: Le Cercle Francais invites you to a party Friday night at nine o ' clock. To attend a party means a struggle for most of us because we can ' t speak a single word of English. But on the other hand, we always have fun playing the games and working the puzzles Miss Hutt brought us from France. At the end of the party, when we say, Nous nous avons amuses tres bien, we mean just this, We had a swell time. And we return to American civilization with such poems as this running through our minds : Le Renard el Les Raisins Certain renard gascon, d ' autres disent normand, Mourant presque de faim, vit au haul d ' une treille Des raisins murs apparemment Et couveris d ' une peau vermeille Le galant et cut fait volontiers un repas, Mais comme il n ' p pouvait atteindre lis sont trop verts, dit-il, it bons pour des goujats.

Every student, feeling its true significance and upholding the belief in it, is helping herself and others to live sanely, strongly, and sin- cerely. As much a part of our college as the brick of its walls and the trees of its campus, it has lived and grown, and is ours, because we have made it. We, the students, are the honor system. We, the stu- dents, shall uphold its standards through all time. The sixteen members of the Student Council are to forward and to protect the standards that we love through promoting the harmony of normal and wholesome relationships on our campus. The council wishes not to govern, but to serve. Our honor system, and what it stands for, is not for one, not for sixteen, but for all. It is not an idea, but a vital ideal that we strive to make a living reality. House Council OFFICERS: Margueritte Blackwell, President; Marjorie Nimmo, Vice-President; Lucy Blackwell, Secretary.

Of course, one hall president told her girls that whenever they received boxes of food from home, they had to go fifty-fifty with their hall president — you didn ' t do it, did you, girls? Every night from seven to ten we have study hour, which means there is to be peace and quiet for Miss Stubb ' s Soci or Miss Wheeler ' s Speech. If you didn ' t want company, out went a BUS sign, which meant no Susy or Clara Belle with stories of trips to V. M. I. and V. P. I. for the two hours and a half — until ten o ' clock comes. Then we all relax — that means an Indian call down the hall to Mary — the splash, splash of running water for ye ole daily bath — a chicken fight between Hot Shot Pettis and Champ Hardy and last of all, but surely not least, that well-remembered art exhibit on Junior Hall (made famous by the class of ' 39) with such well-known statues as Venus De Milo, Whistler ' s Mother, A Maiden ' s Prayer, The Drunkard, and A Modest Woman. The most beautiful of all was created by PETTY. . . . Then there are those seniors who truck down town for a cheeze-burger, 81 ( ' coc ' ), suicide chaser (limeade) or what have you? They trudge back to their dorms in time to hear their hall president come tramping down the hall, tapping on each door, giving that familiar call of Lights Out, and out go the lights throughout the dormitories. Sometimes, however, it isn ' t as simple as that — the hall president has difficulty in maintaining quiet during study hour and in getting lights out at the specified time. And, when this occurs, down go X ' s on a chart located on the hall president ' s door, which con- tains a list of the residents on her hall. Just three X ' s a quarter and on campus you stay for one week! The duties of the House Council keep each member con- stantly on the job. There ' s the soun d of laughter down the hall, which means running down the hall to locate the offenders and finding it hard to deal with them because it was funny. Hearing Guy Lombardo or the like after eleven o ' clock and thinking it to be Annex, then finding it on White House; asking the rule-breakers to turn their radio off; realiz- ing that they will turn the volume down and you ' ll never know the dif ... or hearing feet tramping down the hall during the night, and upon investigation learning that they smelled smoke, finding that the smoke from the Farmville High School bonfire had at last traveled this way ... or people selling food in the White House kitchen yelling their wares after ten-thirty . . . and the finish, to smell late-at-night popcorn popping (oh, that delicious odor) or toast, and having to ask them to cut down on the amount of electricity or out go the lights. . . . Sometimes the fuse is blown, and that necessitates a frantic search for Mr. Reed (the night watchman) and have him repair the damage ... the typical life of a hall president! In spite of the trouble we cause, we do respect their un- tiring work. And so, here ' s to the House Council (nick- named Mouse Council ) !

While that rain pattered down, our girls in white dashed here and there giving the new girls a helping hand. Can I show you where to go? You matriculate in room 22, right around this way. Has anyone gone to meet that 12:57 train? I ' m sure if you ' ll wait a few days. Miss Mary can make some adjustment about your room. There are always a lot of changes the first week. It went on like that from early morning to supper time. There was much hugging and squeal- ing on the part of the old girls, while freshmen stood around in wide-eyed amazement. The Big Sister-Little Sister Reception — old and new girls looking their prettiest, as Dr. Jarman would say, flocked to the gym to drink punch, dance, and enjoy the floor show. Also in September came Kirby Page to our cam- pus, and what a challenge he brought us! Is the existing social order in agreement with the principles that Jesus taught? Are we going to conform to the status quo or are we going to take our Christianity all the way? We had a rousing forum at our night meeting. Cabinet Retreat at Longwood in October was a serious session in which the cabinet and advisers dis- cussed our need as well as those of the campus and of the world. The result of our thought was the specific program for the year with this dominant theme: To inspire the members of the Y. W. C. A. to live both now and after college in a way that will bring the world closer to the Kingdom of God. Among our speakers this year was Mrs. Mildred Morgan, who spoke in chapel on College Today, Marriage Tomorrow. Both she and her topic were so attractive that the Y. W. C. A. Lounge couldn ' t hold the crowd that came for the afternoon discus- sion, and we had to move to the Little Auditorium. There was a capacity crowd in the Lounge that night as we munched apples and discussed everything from dating to the family budget. With the Christmas season came all the traditional services — Miss Rice ' s Christmas story, the Hanging of the Green, White Christmas and the delivering of baskets. So much needs to go between the lines of this account of the work of the Y. W. this year: music, posters, the revision of our constitution, the organiza- tion of our library, cabinet worship, faithful work by cabinet and committee members, untiring interest from the advisory board — and so much more. But these are, at least, the highlights of a successful year.

COLLEGE is so vastly different from anything a girl has ever before experienced! Naturally, to every freshman come slight fears, doubts, and misgivings. Therefore, through personal contact the Commission has enthusiastically endeav- ored to unite its class in a closer fellowship, that each and every girl may feel herself an essential part of her class. Through its open meetings it has tried to create a spirit of friendliness among the girls, and to give them a keener appre- ciation of the true Christian spirit which the Y. W. C. A. represents. The Commission has also carried out such traditions as the Hanging of the Greens at Christmas and the holding of Morning Watch for quiet meditation. It has set aside one meeting each month for a class get- together. ' Among these have been the Fashion Show, model- ing the rights and wrongs in what to wear, and the Open Forum — a good gripe meeting at which some of the outstanding upperclassmen explained the reasons for rilin ' rules. These meetings were largely attended and seemingly enjoyed by all. t row, left to right: Dugger, Graff, Parker, Whelchel, Hubbard, Jack S md row. left to right: Royal], Reiff, Alvis, Barham, Button, Gray, Rob II, Ebel Student Standards OFFICERS: Mary Jackson, Chairman; Helen Reiff, Sec- retary; Mary Jackson, Theresa Graff, Senior Representatives; Frances Alvis, Helen Reiff, Junior Representatives; Ellen Gray, Martha Whelchel, Sophomore Representatives; Eliz- abeth Ann Parker, Ellen Royall, Freshman Representatives.

THE Student Standards Committee is composed of the heads of all major organizations, two members elected from each class, five faculty members, and one representative from the Home Department. This committee acts as a clearing house between the Administration, the Faculty, and the Student Body in discussing certain problems set before it by these groups. It is their purpose to bring about a spirit of cooperation in the solution of these problems, as well as to foster high standards of action and scholarship. By authority vested in it by the student body, the com- mittee has the power to regulate and enforce the Point System which acts as a check on the amount of extra-curricular work a student may undertake. The system is regulated according to academic standing, and by limiting the numbei of points that any student may carry, it makes the distribution of offices in the college more democratic.

To Farmville students such a service is one of the more important occasions of the year, for it is then that Alpha Kappa Gamma, National Fraternity for leader- ship, recognizes the leaders found among them. The impressive words of the tapping service bring to the audience the realization of what leadership in womanly service really means. All eyes are turned in an attitude of respect and almost of reverence as cap and gowned leaders walk up the aisle of the auditorium with gavel in hand, and turning, approach those who have made the school a better place for their having been here. Business meetings become interesting discussions by the members of Alpha Kappa Gamma, and often end in vital changes in attitude throughout the school. Among the more important projects of the year were the refinishing of the statue of Joan of Arc which stands in the Rotunda, and the counting of freshman votes as only one-half in all student body elections. The annual circus sponsored by this organization was again this year a big success, with Army Butterworth crowned as queen, and the Sophomore class presenting the winning stunt. Members of Alpha Kappa Gamma acted as chairmen of the various committees, and the gate receipts went to their treasury. This group of girls works earnestly each year to improve and help the college, and their work makes more real and significant the value of quiet leadership.

Circus j [EMORIES of one excited and talkative crowd surging on a much bedecked midway — testing their luck at various games of chance — recalls to us the circus of 1938-39. Festive crowds, gay costumes, barkers yelling their wares, clowns, animals and what-not in various stunts, and a husky-voiced ring- master presiding over the celebrations — all went to make a gala celebration of Farmville ' s traditional Circus — sponsored annually by Alpha Kappa Gamma. The ring show — an audience was carried away first to a college scene with the Senior Class giving a lively presentation of college songs — with the cor- responding mascot for each song giving that added touch — mainly of humour. From the collegiate we went deeply Southern as the Juniors carried us to a far off plantation by the strains of softly sung Negro spirituals. And then, as if by magic, Time Tumbled to Tune and our scene was changed to a bull fight in the Circus Waximus and a history of the circus throughout the ages — the prize stunt given by the Sophomores. The baby class carried off honorable mention with their sideshow — dolls in costumes of many lands — showing off their talent in dancing, singing and clowning! Food, dancing to the music of Misery, and prizes in the sideshow booths were the attractions on the midway; and as midnight neared, a tired but happy crowd left the Big Tent, and another night of celebration and festivity was over — another circus had left town.

Council, ably advised by Miss Olive T. Her, has presented to the Student Body the oppor- tunity for all to participate in its activities. An outstanding advent in this program is Play Night, held for those interested in ping-pong, bad- minton, bridge, and other similar indoor games. This establishes a social contact, the need of which has long been felt. Golf and archery at Longwood are offered to those interested in outdoor recreation. The Student Body has responded enthusiastically in giving its support to this program as well as for- warding its ardent backing to the teams engaged in competitive events. Through the A. A., a closer bond of school loyalty has evolved within the Student Body. This influence and appeal have spread throughout the col- lege, stimulating a wider interest and embodying high ideals and sportsmanship in its purpose. The im- portance of interest and participation in these activ- ities has been recognized and complied with accord- ingly. Sports Managers THE hockey field is the scene of fighting teams — green and white against red and white — battling for the Color Cup. Louise Bryan, manager of hockey, with her assistant, Marjorie Nimmo, stays busy in the fall season arranging practices, checking on each girl to see that she has the required numbers of practices, and arranging games for both varsity and class teams. Hockey gives the winning teams points for the Color Cup and decides that all-important question: Do the rats wear caps until Christmas or discard them Thanks- giving? If the Sophomores win that battle on the hockey field, then caps till Christmas is the yell. For the first time in many years the varsity team played a game on our own field, and victory was the yell — and victory we had ! Louise Anthony, manager of basketball, begins hanging posters, calling practices, and encouraging participation in basketball after Thanksgiving, and Isabel Williamson, man- aging Freshman basketball this year, goes through the same antics. Class games are played in this sport too with the winning class gaining points for the Color Cup. The Varsity team lost only one game this year, and the Freshman team showed strength and turned out the same record. Basketball is one of the major sports at S. T. C, and cheers are deaf- ening in the gym when a home game is being played. Volley ball brings in more points for the Color Cup, and this sport begins immediately after basketball season. Louise Painter managed this sport this year and arranged for the games to be played off round robin fashion. As spring comes in, tennis comes in with Shirley Stephens acting as manager. Tournaments are played in both fall and spring, and doubles and singles champions are chosen. Ann Shirley was assistant manager this year. Arrows whiz by as archery season whizzes in. Heading this sport is Margaret Stallard, and she has put equipment at Longwood as well as on the athletic field. Pat Gibson urges people to take a dip all year round, but spring is the main season for this manager to be very active. Competition between classes is keen in swimming; yet coop- eration and school spirit come forth also when the intercol- legiate meet is held. Life-saving emblems are awarded in this sport also. The cry of You ' re out-run-slide comes from the athletic field in the late spring as baseball practices get under way. Managers for this sport are chosen just before the season begins. In this sport too competition for the Color Cup is active. Minor sports advanced for this year, and new sports were installed at Farmville. Crews Borden and Sue Owen, man- ager and assistant, were busy every other Saturday night arranging for play night, which gave recreation of all types. Ping-Pong tournaments were held in the winter, and badminton games became popular during spring. Recreational sports are fast gaining major places at S. T. C.

These five-mile hikes take place every Saturday — helping to keep those slim girlish figures of which we are so proud. Dashing figures with hockey sticks in hand rushing madly down the athletic field, arrows whizzing proudly in the bull ' s eye, perfect aces across the tennis court, skill and speed displayed on the basketball and volley ball courts, form and grace in every stroke of the crawl in those swimming meets — all of these characterize the Monogram Club girls. Fol- lowing the motto of Sportsmanship Always, and interest and participation in sports have been requirements of the club. These girls who proudly wear their white sweaters and monograms are recognized for their ideals of fair play and are good sports in all phases of college life. This year the club sold sandwiches every Monday night and had a bingo booth at the circus; also they sold coca- colas on the day of Color Rush, thus helping pay for club expenses. The club also compiled a series of posters out- lining a sports ' season and sent them to Tulsa, Oklahoma, to the Southern Convention of Physical Education. Lastly, we pay tribute to the Seniors who leave us: Vir- ginia Whitehead Smith, Jinny Carroll, Lavelette Glenn, Elizabeth Berryman, Ellen Conyers, our star basketball players; Tony Anthony, manager of basketball; Margaret Stallard, our Robin Hood; Louise Bryan, manager of hockey; Mary Elizabeth Badger, our hockey star, and Mable Burton, our president. We will miss you, but we will con- tinue to carry forward the ideals and standards of the Mon- ogram Club, and we know you are taking those standards with you.

HO Club CONGRATULATIONS — you placed first in the South and third national in the Tele- graphic Swimming Meet — this was the telegram re- ceived by the PFO Club last spring after the meet. Each year the Club sponsors the entrance of our swimming team in the contest. The water carnival is a program composed of a water stunt by each class. This year ' s carnival was a huge success. After much debating on the part of the judges, first place was given to the Seniors, whose entry was the Senior Olympics, an exhibition of div- ing, form swimming, and figure swimming. The Freshman Class, with its aquatic version of the wed- ding of the frog and the mouse, won honorable mention.

TTOCKEY season was on! Red and Green gym suits were dashing up and down. Balls were flying over the field. The Annie athletes were get- ting their eight required practices. The color games were played, and the freshmen were defeated by the sophomores and had to wear their rat caps till Christmas. The juniors defeated the seniors and were the winners of all the games. Red and White on top. The only out of town game of the season was with William and Mary Extension from Richmond. We played in Richmond, and the score was just the kind we like — we won 4 to I .

Basketball UR varsity, undefeated in the state for three years, opened its 1 939 season on February 3, in a game played on our court with Radford Col- lege. Both teams fought hard, but Farmville was victorious. Then on February 16, our squad ventured to meet the team of William and Mary in Williams- burg, when we were again victorious. In Harrison- burg, we met our Waterloo when Madison College defeated us for the first time in several years with a score of 22-19. The season ended on March 3. when we met Panzer College on our own home floor. It was a hard fought game and we were again the victors. This year we are losing some fine players who have been on the varsity squad for four years. Vir- ginia Carroll and Virginia Whitehead Smith, our co- captains this year, will be greatly missed, as will be Ellen Conyers and Elizabeth Berryman. Much of our success is due to the inspiration, guidance, and sense of fair play instilled in us by our coach, Miss Olive T. Her. 1938- ' 39 SCHEDULE East Radford, Radford, Virginia there (28- 6) William and Mary, Williamsburg, Virginia there (32-25) Madison College, Harrisonburg, Va. there ( 19-22) Panzer College, East Orange, New Jersey here (21- 6) Left to right: Hurt, Barclay, Seward, Stallard. Archery A RCHERY? We go for that — and in such a way that we can ' t exactly explain it. There is something about stringing a bow, notching an arrow, taking position, drawing and releasing that gives us a strong determination to handle that bow, sight that arrow, and gives us that confidence, backed by precision and accuracy to bring in a beautiful score. The sound of an arrow in the air and the distinct thud as it finds its mark send a thrill of pride through you and that is why on Sunday afternoons you see girls at Longwood pulling so many arrows from the targets. Archery sets were taken to Longwood this year when the new equipment came, and there we try our hand at different ranges. Archery as a sport is one of the best! 114 Left to right: Mcllwaine, Shirley, Stephen Tennis IN those balmy first days of October girls clad in shorts thronged the tennis courts in preparation for the big event of the fall quarter, the singles tourna- ment. This year the early coming of cold weather cut the tournament short, but a great deal of new talent was discovered among the freshmen. The doubles tournament, which takes place in the spring, always causes a great deal of interest, and there are many participants. Both of these tournaments are sponsored by the A. A. Council, which presents awards to the winners. The Varsity squad is picked from participants in the tournaments, and the varsity team takes part in several intercollegiate matches. 115 Left to right: McCorkle.

Or- chesis, the honorary dance group, has as its purpose to establish the dance as an important phase in our campus life. The members of Orchesis have proved themselves appreciative artists in the Fundamental ind Composition classes. Under the capable super- vision of Mrs. Louise Fitzpatrick a recital of original compositions is given each year. This program is a colorful presentation of interpretative studies, the dances ranging in theme from humorous numbers to those based on various phases of life. This year the club attended a Dance Symposium at Sweet Briar College. While these symposiums are regular features of the dance work in the north- ern states, the meeting was the first of its kind to be held in the south. Through the exchange of ideas, the club members learned what other college students are doing in the field.

Dramatic Club P ANKIE, don ' t forget that bell, or Martha ' s Hazelwood. That set can ' t wait. No, Dot ' s hair is too pasty, and she needs more aged lines around the mouth. Jean, that weird blue light is just right for the effect. The next night finds a capacity audience spell- bound over this mysterious production, Outrvard Bound, presented jointly by the dramatic Clubs of S. T. C. and Hampden-Sydney. Eight entirely different personalities are setting out on a strange journey, so strange that the boat on which they sail has no crew, and, even stranger, the passengers can- not recall their destination. For days they drift thus — a self-centered society woman, a secular-minded business man, a pathetically humble but gentle scrub woman, a hopeless drunkard, a somewhat bewil- dered minister, and two lovers. However, one person on the boat, the bar tender who seems familiar with his surroundings, finally re- veals to his shipmates that they are treading the in- terminable road between this earth and Heaven or Hell. They all, from preacher to drunkard, though panicky and scheming as to how they can evade their Examiner who will allot them their plan for eternity, are met by the Examiner and are meted their particular punishment or happiness. The weird lights brighten. A stiff and chilling silence envelops the attentive onlookers. The very atmosphere is weirdly electric. We shudder at the reality we have just witnessed.

The College Choir THE College Choir is an organization of which the col- lege is justly proud. It is an ambassador of good will and through it the public measures the quality of work done here at the college. This year three broadcasts have been given as well as recitals in various cities of the State. The outstanding events being a recital presented before one hundred principals from all parts of Virginia who gathered at S. T. C. for a series of meeings; and the Spring Concert in which the Glee Club from the University of Virginia shared the spotlight.

Orchestra 17 VERY Monday and Wednesday afternoon we can hear melodious strains of music coming from Miss Purdom ' s classroom as we pass Student Building on our way to Shannons. If our curiosity leads us on a tour of inspection, we will find the or- chestra in full rehearsal with Miss Purdom wielding her baton. Several musically inclined budding geniuses have joined the orchestra this year. These new mem- bers as well as the older ones have one definite aim in their orchestral work. Guided by Miss Purdom, they strive toward perfection in the musical inter- pretation of the compositions they play. These com- positions include both classical and semi-classical numbers. This year the orchestra has enlarged its repertoire with several compositions of modern com- posers, such as Rudolph Fnml. Much has been contributed by the orchestra to school programs. It presents a short concert in chapel during Education Week. Then on Founder ' s Day and all during the year the orchestra furnishes the proper atmosphere for many of the important social functions in school. Finally comes Commencement, and even with daisy chains, parents, etc., things just don ' t seem complete without the orchestra to furnish harmonious music at Miss Mary ' s Reception.

C. girl to make use of the old-fashioned sewing kit. Yet with styles constantly on the jump, there is definitely a need for the use of it. The Home Economics Club has come to the rescue by sponsoring a clothes hospital here on the campus. At this hospital the home economics girls make the discarded dress — the dress of the moment. They can add just the touch to last year ' s skirt to make it acceptable by any style expert; they sew on buttons, fit clothes just right, and advise as to what changes should be made to suit the individual. Oh! they have a remarkable store of information on the newest and most likely to be popular fashions which they have found from studying Vogue and Harpers Bazaar. These same girls are also excellent cooks, as is proved by the delicious teas which they serve for the various organizations in school. The party is sure to be a success when the home economic girls are in the kitchen seeing that the cookies don ' t burn and that the sandwiches taste as good as they look. Not only for other organizations do they serve but many times within the club we find them having gay get-togethers, new and attractive sandwiches, and salads well-planned to suit a definite theme and color scheme. Although the Home Economics Club includes only home economics majors with C averages, it seeks to serve the entire school in a practical way. First row, left to right: Glenn, Stephenson.

Faculty Advi; ' Rotunda ' Staff THROUGH Pattie Bounds and her corps of news writers, Frances Alvis with her feature writ- ers, Vera Ebel with the socials of the school and Marjone Nimmo with the sports happenings of the college, we have striven to inform every one of the goings-on of our college. Monday nights were spent writing headlines that were assigned to the various articles by Le Noir Hubbard, editor-in-chief. At this time articles were checked, rechecked, typed and retyped as Dons Chesnut set her corps of typists to work. Tuesday nights we spent in reading proof copy while the editor with her trusty old ruler spaced articles on a dummy. After this spacing was done, there was a mad dash hither and yon to gather up more news and fillers. On Wednesday, last-minute touches were made, and the paper was hurried to press. Florence Bress ' job each week was to get the ads for our paper, and it was through her efficient salesmanship that our ads doubled this year. Elizabeth Prince and her circulation staff labored every Wednesday after- noon folding, delivering and addressing copies of the paper. On Wednesday night, Le Noir H ubbard and the associate editors assigned articles to the reporters, and another cycle of work in the editing and printing of a paper was begun.

EARLY in the fall it began — this long and tedious process of putting out an annual ; for in October the student body became cam- era conscious as the photographer worked patiently from early morning far into the night to give us a complete pictorial diary of a school year. And it was not much later that Ficklen and Gray packed up their finery and dashed off to Cincinnati to the Press Convention. After five glorious and unforgetable days, they re- turned chock-full of grand new ideas. With this generous store of inspiration things began to take shape and work progressed. All during the winter quarter, members of the staff spent night after night in the publica- tion office, laying out the dummy, identifying pictures, and doing write-ups. Various other members went on secret missions to interview room-mates about characteristics of room-mates.

There have been times when we have been nearly frantic with worry for those inevitable dead-lines have stared us threateningly in the face! Yet we have had untold hilarious ses- sions which have sometimes delayed the course of work until those involved could recover from their mirth! Now we near the end as a final shipment of copy goes to the printers. The VIRGINIAN of I 939 is no longer only a misty dream, but has become a reality. With a sigh of relief tinged with definite feelings of sadness, we sincerely hope that Farmville students will hold this book dear as a cherished reminder of college friend- ships in ' 39.

There in eight hundred plates on the tables gleamed eight hundred shining blue Colonnades. And so the new magazine was introduced. The Colonnade is the successor to the Farmville Quarterly Review — or perhaps we should say that it is the Farmville Quarterly Review revised, for it has the same high standards as anyone who tries to get a story approved by Mr. Grainger or a poem checked by Miss Jennings will find out. The magazine contains illustrations for the first time. The life-like picture of Dr. Walmsley that came out in the first issue was our pride and joy! To illustrate some of the stories taxes the ability and imagination of the college ' s best artists. The posters that appear at regular intervals are constant reminders to Write for the Colonnade and Leave It In The Magazine Box. The magazine is published bi-monthly by the Herald Publishing Company in Farmville.

THE Cotillion Club, organized for social pur- poses really fulfills them for it gives the two main social events of the year — the fall and spring Cotil- lion dances. As the enrollment of the school has in- creased, the members of the club realized the need for more members, therefore the membership was raised to two hundred and fifty. The fall dance proved, as usual, a tremendous success with the sweet strains of the V. M. I. Com- manders floating through a gymnasium transformed into a study of decorative marine life — yellow fish — coral bubbles, and green sea plants. Girls attired gaily in various and sundry colorful gowns were escorted by young men representing colleges and uni- versities throughout the state. Laughter, flirtatious glances, coy remarks, soothing, rhythmic notes, cor- sages, tuxedos, satins and upswept hair styles, cli- maxed another of Cotillion ' s traditional and ever- successful fall dances. A refreshing feeling surges within us when we re- member Farmville ' s spring nights, but our thoughts simultaneously progress to the oncoming dance of the year — Spring Cotillion. A feeling of eagerness com- bined with sadness overtakes the members for then our best beaus return, and the beloved seniors form the figure for the last time. This year we breath- lessly await the colorful event: Alumnae returning; the smoothest music, light colors blending in with the artists ' decorative contributions; organdies contrast- ing with violets; a final touch to the lasting memories of our school days of ' 38 and ' 39.

The organization attempts to establish stand- ards of excellence along every line of sorority en- deavor and to act as a court of appeals, passing judgment on any sorority difficulties which might arise. The organization has a defined code of sorority ethics which every sorority is obligated t o believe in and to live up to. In the fall an open forum is held at which the faculty advisers and a member from each sorority open the discussion on some assigned subject of spe- cial and vital interest to all sororities. The winter rushing season keeps the association busy and excited. All await with interest the out- come. At this time rushing rules are made and en- forced, and bid day is set. In the spring the big thing is the dance. All the girls eagerly look forward to this event. This is the second of its kind in the history of the college.

GEPTEMBER, and after the summer ' s long part- ing, came the glad, excited hello ' s and greetings upon our return. That first week was spent in wad- ing through and sorting out belongings left in the chapter room during vacation. And there we ' d sit, on the first convenient object, discussing the house party at Virginia Beach, relating the summer ' s ex- periences and listening to Kitty giving us the atmos- phere of the boots and saddle country in telling her adventures at the Alpha Sigma National con- vention at Yellowstone Park. Go west, young lady! What fun at our parties this fall, with Amy as social chairman! And as for the hot chocolate that Spooks and Tizzie can make, as for the hot choc- olate, as for . . . well, the recipe is one that they made up, but we love the results any way. A climax to autumn fun was Miss Moran ' s picnic, when ham- burgers sizzled, and we gathered in the dusk around the open fire to sing our old songs and to learn new ones. Fall rushing, the fall banquet, and fixing the Christmas baskets made our days busy. Topping the cheery season was our Christmas party, when Norma brought Leigh to be Santa Claus. Merry Christmas! Then came excitement and happy times with the new pledges. Remember the night we visited Tony and Patty? Once again, our spring banquet at Longwood, then June, last meetings of the year, gathering in the chapter room to have one more cozy chat and to play our favorite records. One last singing together of Alpha Sigma Sweetheart, then — See you at the house party! Write to me! And so, goodbye till ever-returning September when it can be started all over again.

Gay greetings could be heard on all sides — it was so wonderful for us all to be together once again! There was much to be told and discussed after the grand summer just past. First, everyone had to relive that glorious week of our house party held at Douthat Park in the heart of the Alleghany mountains. Then, a review of all the other exciting experiences had to be heard. We had scarcely become settled when news came that Mrs. Carrie Staehle would arrive for her in- spection of the chapter. As this was her first trip since Zeta Tau had become national, preparation was in order. It was a grand three days, and with tears in our eyes we bid Mrs. Staehle goodbye at the station. As the train pulled out, we broke into a chorus of Auld Lang Svne. Time passed smoothly, and Christmas took us by surprise. Just before the holidays old Santa paid us a visit in the chapter room — such surprises and such fun! After the lull of exams all hearts and heads were turned toward home for the gala affairs an- ticipated there. Holiday season was soon over, and our attention turned to school affairs. Looking forward to Mardi Gras, we found Frankie shining again — this year as Queen! Close behind this were elections for May Day, in which Frankie and Ruth were among the loveliest winners! Time passes all too rapidly, and once again an- other June is upon us. Our year of banquets, teas, and informal parties come to a close with a final party given at Longwood with gifts from Miss Bed- ford for the Seniors. It isn ' t at all silly, and we love everyone so much that no attempt is made to hide the tears. Farewell again with many promises and hopes of meeting together soon — we hope at the house- party at Virginia Beach this summer !

Founded 1911 Slate Teachers College Farmville, Virginia A GLAMOROUS summer colored by the week of gaiety in June at Peggy Young ' s cottage (bigger and better this year) at Virginia Beach, made us reluctant to start the grind of school this fall, but ' twas soon realized how grand it was to be together again. A year full of many pleasures behind us; what fun to recall! The first outing of the fall was an unforgetable spaghetti supper in honor of pledge, Mimi, at Longwood Cabin — a typical fall day and food for the gods. Then came Fall Cotillion with Stallard and Clara in the receiving line. Later Miss Stubb ' s Christmas party in her new house with carols and a beautiful Christmas tree. Before we knew it Christmas vacation had come and gone and it was time to rush again. Sixteen charming girls was the result and we were so proud. We honored them at a banquet at Longwood in February, a gay occasion with many alumnae back. Sunday nights during the winter we enjoyed im- mensely, as we had buffet suppers in the chapter room by candle light with soft music, where we talked about Saturday night Sing usually conducted by ' Liza — of Wicks ' New York trip and of Bev- erley going up in March — Virginia Whitehead and her basketball plays in the Madison game — Izzie getting annual write-ups and editing the annual next year — Peggy ' s new clothes and A. C. E. work — Betty von and her trips to Charlottesville — Meade and Kit and the horrors of their teaching experience! — Frances Hutcheson taking the lead in Tovanch, the spring play — Marge being elected President of the House Council — Faison and her reducing scheme — Lib George and her Florida letters — Dibbs chat- ting with Mary about her teaching — Alpha Lee representing the school as Apple Blossom Princess at Winchester, and many more things, too numerous to mention. Now, sixteen seniors, with tears in their eyes, look back on the joys of four of the fullest and best years of their lives, but with them is the thought that as alumnae they have many rich memories to share. The underclassmen look forward to their next years here together, for they are to carry on the spirit of Gamma Theta.

Macon came back to us after a year s absence with all the newest dance steps from here to Kansas and back. Some well-known friends were not present, but when they came back, they came 100% with Bonnie and her intriguing tales of Europe; the two Libbys and Liz telling the trials of a school-ma ' am and all the rest. October brought the Press Convention in Cincinnati, and Ficklen and Gray, cute girls, went and returned with the little gray elephant and tales that became twice, thrice, and two hundred times told ! When Louise wasn ' t presiding at meetings, she was playing a typical Joe or Florabelle Hayseed in Sing. We can ' t forget the enjoyable Sunday afternoon teas that shortened the weeks, the parties in the chapter room which got dressed up too, with new furnishings — gay and re- splendent — and now it ' s lovely to look at. And a word for the new girls — we don ' t know how we got along without them. Elizabeth Anne tripping off to the debate at Winthrop College at Rock Hill, S. C, and Salisbury, then back in time for the Spring Play; Marty and Dot captaining freshmen teams; Boo and Kat proming; Helen writing the May Day theme; Fitch and Macon spending the week-ends at Annapolis and West Point — even Marguerite call- ing lights out (and calling down) — all were parts of the year that joined to make a chain of fun to remember all our lives!

Plans were soon begun for our tenth anniversary when Mrs. C. P. Neidig, our National President, and Mrs. Charles Gibson, our National Vice-Presi- dent, were guests of Pi Kappa Sigma for a few days. We were all so glad to see so many of our Pi Kap alumnae who returned for our banquet at Long- wood, and for Fall Cotillion. Presents for everyone under the tree in the chapter room began a glorious Christmas for the Pi Kaps. Then back from the holidays, with Elsie, Ellen Gray, and Dot Buckland proudly wearing diamonds. February brought Mardi Gras, with Elsie and Charlotte again looking lovely in the court. Then that memorable night when the pledges gave us that delicious and never-to-be-forgotten picnic at Longwood. Essie carried off honors for her dancing in May Day, while Charlotte was Maid of Honor, and Elsie, Cleo, and Mary Gray graced the court. Graduation brings mingled feelings of sadness at parting from our Seniors and happiness at the thought of a long holiday when Pi Kaps plan to meet at the houseparty for another round of sunning, dancing, playing, and romancing, in the exhilarating atmosphere of the Beach.

It was unanimously agreed that beyond all question of doubt the high light of the entire summer was as usual the delightful house party at the Irby ' s cottage at good old Virginia Beach. Gay and care- free days, happy hours under the sun, lying on the beach, a bewitching moon, dancing at the Surf Club, making the most of each waking moment. In the fall Cotillion and return of the alumnae with all the attendent enjoyment — the alumnae telling us how it was done back when, but we, quite content with present Army graciously reigned as Circus Queen. Christmas came and with it the thought of Miss Camper ' s annual tea, always an outstanding social event in our yearly program. Then home for the Yuletide with the season well under way. After Christmas came winter rushing and the inevitable parties given for the pledges. Added fun was the tea given by Sarah, Lula. Nan, and Martha; then there was the Seniors ' weiner roast at Longwood. Spring came on before we knew it. Plans were made for that Tri Sigma Founder ' s Day banquet. What fun we had! Spring — with it the thoughts of May Day and Theresa Graff as the Queen. All too quickly the year was brought to a close and the Sigma Seniors with smiles and tears departed.

Then, there are huge hugs and kisses and startling tales of an adventurous summer, but the gab about the houseparty at Virginia Beach tops them all. To keep our spirits high and ourselves fit for study, we began our work last fall with a little play when we entertained at a tea in honor of our patrons. From that time on, various other teas and gala parties have helped keep us fit for work. However, during all these months of work and play, one of our ambitions was to join a national sorority group. And that ambition was realized when we were in- stalled in March, 1939, by the national officers of Theta Sigma Upsilon. And now as we turn again to the girls in our group, thoughts which are the bliss of solitude flash upon our inward eye, and we recall in con- nection with: Helen — diamonds, sweetness and loveliness; Kitty Maynard — Tech proms, football games and a football hero; Anne — Pep. Two Sleepy People ; Caroline — A. C. E., horses, lead- ership; Mary Walker — a cameo face, valentines by the Clinton express; Mary Carrington — perfumes, and jewelry; Marie — a search warrant for her heart; Kitty Watkins — a discarded nurse ' s cap and a rejuvenated white smock; Mildred Harry — Chapel excuses, Home Ec. teas; Peck — pianos, yachts; Dell — a flare for parties, psychology, lit- erary ability; Virginia — Faerie Queen, sweet femininity; Rosa — a black eye, basketball, Miss Amelia ; Evelyn — merry giggles, a heart as big as all outdoors ; Sit — chicken pox, high Cliffs, Virginia; Josa — quiet capability, dignity; Martha Anne — sweet gentility, Yankees; Myra — summer camps, blonde hair, sincerity; Martha — violins, Robert; Marion — a dictionary full of words, V.

For the first few weeks we did little but listen to Margaret tell about her trip to Europe; she had many enter- taining and exciting tales in store. During the year other sub- jects for talk arose. Betty Sue came back all starry-eyed from the University of Richmond Midwinters. Jacquy sur- prised us all by forsaking the University — for V. P. I. Margie Holt is a mainstay in keeping our records straight. Elizabeth still captures all the men with her sweet smile. Lillian and Doris are still pulling down wonderful grades. Vivian is still being sweet and lovely to us all. Julia, with her infectious laugh, keeps us entertained. The first event of the year was our birthday banquet on October the twelfth, to which we welcomed several of our alumnae. A few weeks later we were entertained at a tea by our adviser. Miss Willie London, and one of our patrons, Miss Lila London, at their home. After the winter rushing. Eloise entertained the group, including the pledges and Miss Willie, at a party at the home of Mrs. Adams. This was our last activity as a club. A few days later it was announced that we had been established as a sorority. Not one of us will ever forget the wonderful days we spent as a club, but we are eagerly anticipating our activities as a sorority.

Farmville Leaders of ' 39 T ' HE eight girls whose pictures follow were chosen from the student body by popular vote as being outstanding among their fellow students, and as having contributed toward making more full and meaningful the college life of those with whom they have come in contact. Each of them is a definite personality ; each in her own field has proved herself a leader and one whose influence has been strongly felt. We, the students of 1939, applaud whom we have chosen as the girls who have held aloft the spirit and standards of Farmville during this year, and we feel that in future years memories of college will give a prominent place to . . .

SARAH BUTTON . . . for her hard work and interest which have given impetus to the progress of the Y. W. C. A. — and for her ability to make meaningful to others her own strong Christian spirit. MIRIAM FICKLEN because she is the personification of dependability and has a gift for leaving the impression of a vigorous personality on those with whom she works — or plays, I CHARLOTTE MINTON . . . when we recall striking and vivid beauty colored by an unusual knack for sensing the qualities of others; and a tenacity of purpose and of well founded convictions.

And those signs, that you ' ll see on any old hall, means that the B. S. U. is at work. For the cause is none other than its fund for Ridgecrest, N. C, the June Mecca of all Southern Baptist Students, and Ouija boards are one way of getting there! Do you remember the little good-will card you got back in November when you spent a week far from the madding crowd in the infirmary, and when you wrinkled your eye brows and pondered, ' B. S. U. What on earth is that ' ? Well, that was the Baptist Student Union, and in case you didn ' t know it, there ' s one right here on your campus. And it ' s a live one, going places in a big way! Do you remember the two weeks in January when B. S. U. led Prayers, or all of those posters about The Baptist Student ? For that is its mag- azine. Yes, sir, it has its own publications and all the fancy fixin ' s. When we said magazine, we meant a classy, collegiate correspondent with the outside world of B. S. U. ' s — and that means in every state that boasts a Southern drawl. If you ' ve ever dropped into the Y. W. C. A. lounge at 1 p. m. any Wednesday, and joined the group of house-coat clad girls, you ' ve found your- self adding a Well, how can you help the next fel- low with his current problem when you have ten of your own? to their fast and furious queries of How can you keep from being catty when — or Where does Charity begin? So it goes on into the night, and through the year with a group of active, wide-awake girls who want to know why, that they may tell others, through the Farmville B. S. U. Northern Neck Club THE Northern Neck Club was reorganized on October 1 4, 1 938. The members of this Club come from the Northern Neck of Virginia, which is composed of Northum- berland, Lancaster, Richmond, Westmoreland, and King George Counties. It ' s just a bit of inland — on the map it ' s scarce a speck; but it ' s home to everybody in the good old Northern Neck. In this peninsula between the yellow Rap- pahannock and the Potomac, the speech and manners of England were so dominant that it has been referred to on many occasions as Little England. Since Northumberland County once comprised the entire area between the Potomac and Rappahannock rivers, it has been called the parent county of the Northern Neck of Vir- ginia. Westmoreland County is perhaps the best known county and, because of its long line of illustrious men, has been called The Athens of Virginia. In this county we find restored Wakefield, the birthplace of George Wash- ington, and Stratford, the ancestral home of the Lees, an impressive example of seventeenth century architecture. Here lived Governor Thomas Lee, the first native-born Governor of the Colony. In Lancaster County we find Epping For- est, the birthplace of Mary Ball, mother of Washington. Christ Church, built in 1 732 by King Carter, is one of the beautiful colonial churches of Virginia. King Carter was buried there in the church yard. The Northern Neck of Virginia has produced many illustrious statesmen and outstanding men of vision: Bushrod Washington, Dr. John Augustine Smith, Colonel Thomas Marshall, Francis Lightfoot Lee, General Henry Lee, Richard Henry Lee, George Mason, George Washington, and others well known in literature, politics and science. Yes, the Northern Neck has given us here at Farmville our own chemistry professor, Raymond Holhday French. And, did you know that Mr. McCorkle held his first teaching position at Callao and had Mr. French as a student? And that Dr. Walmsley ' s father, a Methodist minister, once — and not in the dim, distant past — had a pastorate at Heathsville, the county seat of Northumberland? And that there is a post office, Walmsley, in that county named in honor of Dr. Walmsley ' s father? So rightfully, the Northern Neck Club is proud of those fine Farmville S. T. C. constituents if she cannot call all of them her definite contributions. The aims of this club are to stimulate and promote friendly and social relationships and contacts within the club and col- lege and with fellow members of other colleges. An annual event will be a V. P. I. - Farmville dinner and dance during Christmas holidays, originated and initiated this year by the Farmville branch of the club. Other enjoyable features of this club have been movie parties and oyster roasts and spaghetti suppers in the cabin at Longwood. First row, left to right : Haydon, Marsh.

May Day Committee j I AY Day of 1939 was presented on an entirely new plan, for it was under student direction, with the guidance and advice of Miss Olive T. Her, Miss Leola Wheeler, Miss Katherine Tupper, and Miss Virginia Bedford, and other faculty members. Various organizations in college such as Orchesis, Gamma Psi, and the Home Economics Club supervised and directed the dances, properties, and costumes. The theme of May Day was based on Spenser ' s Faine Queen, with the dance part of the Faine Queen taken by Virginia Howell. Theresa Graff took the part of the fair Una with Charlotte Minton as the lovely Maid-of- Honor. Members of the court in varicolored costumes danced the Minuet with stately lords. Lovely costumes, graceful dances, original music, with the tranquil Long- wood dell as a setting, composed another of Farmville ' s vividly beautiful May Day celebrations. y l tail c JDau 1939 im Theresa Graff Queen Charlotte Minton MatJ-of-Honor Senior Statistics Editor ' s Note: Below we have listed the members of the Senior Class, together with the organizations with which each girl is affiliated. This section has been taken out of the regular Senior Section because the editors feel that while some students devote most of their time to extra-curricular activities others are more occupied with the academic side of college life and are not active participants in such a wide field of activities. So, for the sake of remaining in keeping with the democratic spirit which is characteristic of the college, we feel t hat this is a more suitable method of presenting this information.

Richmond Appreciation and Acknowledgment IN making the last check-up on a year of work so that the final result of our labors may be sent to press, we sense a feeling of pride in this, the 1939 VIRGINIAN, and it is our sincere hope that this feeling is justified. We feel, also, a deep apprecia- tion to those who helped us in our tasks and have made the success of our book pos- sible. Sources of help have been many and we feel that those with whom we have had business dealings have taken a genuine interest in serving us. To Jahn and Oilier Engraving Company and to J. P. Bell Company we express our thanks for their kindness and willingness to help make possible our accomplish- ment, also for their helpful advice and suggestions. For several weeks during the fall Dunbar and Daniel Photographers worked on our campus, catching the students in characteristic poses and in off moments, thus giving us a complete pictorial story of a year at Farmville. The photographers gave freely of time, effort, and interest and we sincerely appreciate their invaluable con- tribution to the book. Also we wish to acknowledge thanks for several pictures in the book: to the Virginia State Chamber of Commerce, Richmond, Va., for the pictures of Monticello and Mt. Vernon appearing on pages 1 8 and 94 respectively ; to Leet Brothers, Washington, D. C, for the picture of Arlington appearing on page 106; and to Mr. Preston Leech of Roanoke, Virginia, for the photograph of the Eques- trian Statue of Joan of Arc, appearing on page 14. We cannot, in a few words, do justice to an expression of our gratitude to our faculty advisers. Mr. T. A. McCorkle, our business adviser, has been an indis- pensable part of our staff, and has given us not only sound advice in regard to finances, but has spurred us on in our moments of despondency and has generously given ap- proval to our accomplishments. Miss Nancy Foster, Literary Adviser, and Miss Virginia Bedford, Art Adviser, have been always ready to give of their time, and have been sources of helpful criticism and suggestions. To the Student Body our expressions of appreciation are untold. They have helped us on with their evidenced interest in the book (particularly in its secrets !) and have made it possible by posing for pictures and buying subscriptions for another to be added to the long list of Farmville ' s VIRGINIANS. Last, but certainly not least, we extend our deepest and most profuse thanks to the Staff of The VIRGINIAN. They have worked diligently and constantly in order to compile all necessary ma- terial, and their interest and enthusiasm keyed up our spirits and have served as a forceful impetus to the progress of our work.
