R-r V W CiX MAY WERTZ, EDITOR ANNE AYERS, BUSINESS MANAGER DABNEY LANCASTER LIBRARY L0N6W000 COLLEGE FARMVIUE, VIRGINIA 23901 1000184650 EDICATE ' T ' PIIS, the fortieth vohime of Tile Yikginian, to ■•■ one who, from our experience with him in the classroom, in school activities, in personal contact, has come to epitomize the dearest meaning Farmville has for us. Our search for the meaning of true scholarship, our desire for honest thinking, our con- ception of the broadness of learning, are closelj ' associated with Dr. James Elliott Walmsley, head of the History Department. It takes not two days in his classroom to observe his pet likes and dislikes, and the qualities of mind and character which make him beloved to is. We know his reaction to belated entrances, even at eight- tifteen, and his opinion of those of us who keep the grass from growing on the campus ; we watch him juggle his pencil more intensely than ever when the point in discussion is particularly interesting or time- ly. AVe always sit forward in our desks when he pre- faces a story with, JSTow, I oxightn ' t to say this . . . He is associated in our minds with all that is truly Farmville, and gives his time unstintedly as adviser, teacher, and public speaker. His classroom lectures, his store of logic, his direction of our minds to a lofti- ness we thought impossible . . . these things we are not capable of commending in the time we are here. His concepts of living are founded on an idealism which has been contagious, which will not soon leave us. Without the influence of his personality our years here would not hold the richness and completeness we have known, and without him the story of a year at Farmville could not be told. We dedicate this volume, with deepest respect and admiration, to Dr. James Elliott Walmsley. Dr. J. L. Jaemax, President ■ PHIS year at college has been different from the comparatively tranquil ones in which we viewed the world and the future stretching ahead as a shin- ing vista — ours in which to work, reap rewards, and make the most of the democracy of our education and opportunities. Today we see a new scene ; we hear of a new order. In a world geared to the efficient machinery of warfare, education remains the mainstay of democ- racy. Our college careers continue under the leader- ship of Dr. Jarman, who, as President of the College, exerts his energies and talents for the benefit of each of us. Improvement and growth of the school are uppermost in his planning and work — this year we are proud of the newly completed wing of the Senior dormitory, a new athletic field which will be used next fall, and tennis courts on the site of the old ath- letic field. We have seen the excellence of his leadership in administration and had occasion to discover his per- sonal interest in us. He has solved the problems of school and been the sympathetic friend when we need- ed advice. We see in him the personification of the spirit of Farmville which we have all come to know. It is a new world, we are told, but resolution and nobleness remain. Dr. Jarman would remind us, as we look ahead and wonder at the abnormality of the national situation, to Keep on Hoping. iliss JIixME V. Rice TT is fitting that we should recognize the services, the talent, and the indefatigable spirit of Miss Minnie V. Kice, who has been a member of the fac- ulty of the college for fifty years. As professor of Latin, she has promoted an interest in the eiiltitrallv great and in the significance of Roman customs, art, and language. The national Latin fraternity on onr campus, Sigiua Pi Rho, was founded through her helj) antl infiueiicc. Through the years she has guided the activities of the club and met with its members to discuss the culture of the Romans (U ' to trace the influence of their civilization. She can tell us of the days when Farniville was called the State Female Normal School, when Aliss Jennie blasters Tabb was Registrar and Mrs. Mor- rison, ' ' who preceded Miss Mary White, ' ' was head of the Llome. As she has seen the college gTow in size, in enrollment, so has she influenced its growth in the fundamental qualities which we recognize and aduiii ' c today — a spirit of amity, cooperation, and sincerity. AVe have relived with her some of the ex- periences which have enriched the years of her teach- ing, through her stories of our predecessors in the classroom, friends she loved, noble persons whom she admired. From the bcnuity of her wisdom and ex- perience we have gleaned much that is good. Her lessons will inspire those whom she has taught, and they will inspire others — a cycle of noble influence. ee Ti4.it T ET ' S not talk about just the first days of school — ■ ' — ' those lovely clays of meeting and greeting, of un- packing and decorating, those carefree days when we had no classes and very few heavy responsibilities. We ' d like to remember it all, by fleeting glimpses of another happy year in retrospect. From the first minute we walked into the Kotunda, in that momentous fall of 1940, we saw changes. They piled up on us during those opening weeks, and we realized that school life was only reflecting the trend of the modern world change. It seemed that we had every minute detail do STi to an exact science, and although we fussed and fumed at first, it ' s plain to all of us that the year and the school are the better for it. Student Standards began the new era with a great plan about the C average, and after thinking the matter over, Ave realize that we ' re none the worse for a bit of added efl ' ort, a few more hours of con- centrated study, a harder struggle to get out of bed in time for an 8:15 class. The freshmen came early this year and had two days in which to get acquainted and learn their way about. All of us thought this a splendid idea, and incidentally, it meant three hundred and fifty less people to storm the post office for boxes. It ' s the little So many things that count. When the rest of the school had arrived and finished embracing each other joyfully in the halls, we all settled down to meet , appraise, and get acquainted with the new girls. The upper- classmen seemed to like these young invaders very well, and when the new class got really under way after rat week, the whole school marveled at their spirit. When we look back on the past school years, there ' s a little nostalgic feeling that creeps over us. When we look ahead, some of us at more school years, some of us at years out in this mixed-up world, we feel sad- ness because school is so soon over. Perhaps that is what they call the Farmville spirit.

Rachael Eoyall, vivid and attractive, came this year to be iliss Mary ' s secretary in the place of Jane Royall. She also became ad- viser to the Junior Class ; tactful and kind, she has been a g aiide and an inspiration to us all this year. f Hli Miss Mary White Cox [lead of the Home IvACHKi.

Taxiajferro Postmistress Mr. Graham kept his usual busy pace, and between times went off for his fishing or hunting trips (al- ways promising we could go). The Registrar ' s Office, when the smell of fresh paint wore away, eft ' ectively checked our grades, schedules, and class cuts. Miss Bugg held the usual conferences with us and prevented schedules from be- coming too perplexing. We kept the Business Office busy, and Miss Hiner, who never became impatient, helped us with financial matters. The Book Room and Post Office, iliss Taliaferro ' s domain, never was out of stamps or music books or laboratory manuals. Mrs. Shelton planned the menus again and gave us lovely banquets at Hallowe ' en and Christmas. Miss Lila London was the math, genius, and liss Taliaferro saw us through the agonies of Calculus and Trig. We learned kinesiology ( and even how to spell it) from ] liss Barlow as well as the enlighten- ing information of health education. Plead of the Geography Department, Miss Grace Moran, with her shining white hair and lovely face, fielped us pursue the problems of world population. Miss Waters, ab- sent in the fall quarter because of sickness, returned after Christmas to resume her work in the Geography Department. Each year we have seen the music department enlarge its programs under Mr. Strick, who this yeai ' has done even more in arranging the excellent concert with Harvard and Duke. He tire- lessly accompanies Chapel hymns, and IMiss Purdom directs from the state, wielding a trusty baton. Dr. Wynne had his room redecorated, and no one could pass without paying tribute to the new furnish- ings. As head of the Education Department and di- LisABETH Purdom B.

Mr. Holton, of the Educa- tion 335, 336, 337 classes, began the philosophy of our Education, and told us of our teaching trials . . . but that ' s another story. Dr. Swertfeger was new this year, and our interest in his philosophy lectures went beyond his class room, even to heated discussion at the head table. Whether it ' s schedules or dances, caps and gowns or chemistry formulas, Ave all nm to Mr. Mac, whose logic and ingenuity have never failed us.

Dr. Jeffers was honored this year with the presidency of the National Biology Teachers ' Association. He and Dr. Stevens instructed the biologically-minded of us, even to holding tea-parties after lab some afternoon. Dr. Simpkins ' humor was a delight to us all. We Edith Stevens M. A.. PII.

We learned Civil War from start to finish under Miss Tucker, and got to know the ancients under Miss Peck ' s tutelage. The education of each one of ns was not complete until we had taken the marriage coiirse taught by Miss Stubbs. It seemed rather superfluous to obtain credits for taking Shakespeare under Mr. Grainger when our enjo ' anent in the class made it more an interest than a burden. Miss Jennings taught us Tennyson, and ] Iiss London revealed to us the intricacies of Browning so that we could quote volumes from each of teaching English in the secondary schools.

Miss Xicliols was busy this year with the dehatiug- team as well as her English literature, and Miss Foster was patient even when she despaired of our ever learning the verbals. The Commercial Department was headed by Mr. Landrum, who showed us the ways and means of ac- counting. Mrs. Wynne was firm about our typing and patient with our shorthand errors. Miss Crad- dock helped us to fors ' et the Columbus method of typing — you know, find it and then land on it — and taught us the correct way. Hei.kn Urapkr U. .S.. M. A. I ' liifesaor of French Bessie H. Jetek Associate Professor of Home Economics Miss Coble presided at the Practice House, where all home economies majors are bound to go sooner or later. Miss Jeter, Miss Tupper, and Miss Bolick taught us to sew, cook, run a house, and do all the other things which make up the work of the Home Ec. Department. Head and sole teacher of the Speech and Dramatic Department is oiir own Miss Wheeler. Each one of us went into her class for the first time scared tn death, and came out dreamy-eyed over her beautifu interpretations of jaoetry, her knowledge of dramatics and speech. In connection with speech and language, the French, Spanish, and Latin classes are taught by Mrs. Martin, Miss Drajjer, and iiiss Rice.

WHAT would an opoiiinii ' day at S. T. C. be without white-clad Y girls dashing to meet the trains and buses, carrying sviit cases from the station to third floor Library or Student, explaining the mysteries of second floor Annex — in short trying to bring order out of chaos ? This year was no ex- ception. Although the freshmen arri -cd two days be- fore the upperclassmen, there was still confusion. The second night of school an informal party helped ns to get acquainted with the new girls. Sadie Cline presided as capable mistress of ceremonies and administered a Professor Quizz contest which truly baffled the freshmen. How conld they know that Joan of Arc, and not Miss Mary, was the patron saint of Farmville ? The Big Sister - Little Sister reception was as al- ways a gala occasion with girls in stylish evening- dresses, the gym transformed by bine and white crepe paper, delicioiis refreshments, and a delightfnl pro- gram. Directing this } ' ear ' s work were Jean Mover, onr president; Martha AVhelchel, vice-president; Lucy Tnrnbnll, secretary; (Virolvn Harvev. treasurer, and Left io rii lil : Chambers, Ebel, Hajnies, Folk, Rosebro.

Sara Cline was chairman of the Membership Committee; Eleanor Folk, the Prayers Committee ; N ancy Pier- pont, the Service Committee ; Sue Dunlap, the Chvirch Cooperative Committee. Charlotte Gresham was in charge of World Fellowship ; Sarah Chambers, the Music Committee; Anne Ellett, the Social Com- mittee, and Chubby Heard, Sing. Publicity was managed by Jeanne Haymes ; the Town Girls Com- mittee, by Emma !N oblin, and the Library Committee by Tiachael Kibler. Caralie N elson was ex - officio member. The advisory board consisted of ] Irs. A. H. Watkiiis, chairman ; Miss Lucille Jennings, Miss Winnie Hiner, Miss Mary Clay Hiner, and Mr. Boyd Coyner. Cabinet retreat was a success in every way. We met in the cabin at Longwood, and as we sat around the fire eating a picnic supper after our business meet- ing-, we felt that we had made excellent plans for a very profitable year. Dr. G. Ray Jordan, sponsored by the World Fel- lowship Committee, came in JSTovember as our first inspirational speaker. Speaking on the part which Christianity should play in our lives, he thrilled us with his enthusiasm and earnestness. He gave the key note for our freshman week, which was climaxed by a beautiful candle-light installation service in Joan I eft to right: Pierpont, Gresham, Noblin, Whelchel, Moyer, Nelson, Cline, Harvey. Jean Moyer, President of the Y. ' . C. A. Court. As Jean read again the purpose of the Y. W. C. A. and Follow the Gleam was played softly, we pledged ourselves anew to the high ideals of Chris- tian service on our campus. Right after Thanksgiving we plunged into preparations for our World Service Drive. The funds were to be used to aid our fellow students in China and to send workers to bring new hope into the lives of men in the Concentration Camps in Europe. Mr. Luther Tucker, who had just returned from the Orient, was on campus to give us first-hand information about conditions there. And it was first-hand, for he had spent two months as gTiest of the Japanese Emperor for ' ' confusing the public mind. We were de- lighted with the response of the student body both in their sj)irit and in their financial aid. Over $600.00 was raised — three times as much as last year ' s contribu- tion. December broiight with it those Christmas traditions which mean so much. Caralie ' s beautiful telling of Why the Chimes Rang and Miss Rice ' s traditional story of The Other AVise Man recalled to oiir minds once again the time spirit of Christmas. The hanging of the Christmas greens gave the Rotunda a new atmosphere of warmth and festivity that was the very embodiment of the holiday season. Remembering that the wa} ' to feel Christmas is to bring happiness to some one less fortunate, the student body gave their unselfish con- tributions at the annual White Christmas service. The Prayers Committee added a great deal to our observance of Christmas by presenting an effective pageant which combined the favorite carols auditories. We were unusually fortunate this year in the speakers we were able to secure. The opportunity to hear Sherwood Eddy, a recognized authority on world affairs, delighted us, especially at such a time when conditions are more and more uncertain. Equally well known in her field is Mrs. Eubank, who was with us in the spring. Her wholesome out- look on life, her valuable tips on personality, and the fact that she was a living example of what she taught — all endeared her to us. It was an unexpect- ed treat to have her with us three days. Race Relations week, also in the spring, was a new feature of the Y program and what ' s more, a highly successful one. We not only felt more tolerant toward those of other races, but learned to admire them for their invaluable contributions to civiliza- tion. B ) IVa of Getting Acquainted- Freshman Reception WHERE she led nie 1 would follow, and believe it or not she led me dowai the Colonnade, right to Student Lounge, where Dr. Jarman, the faculty, and students of importance stood waiting to give to each of us a cheery smile and a welcoming hand- shake — Big-sister was indeed a treasure, for with- out her we would never have found the gate to all this happiness and — what ? — stairs down to the gym. We descended into the gym- nasium, where we saw silhouettes of loveliness floating around with all the grace and ease of queens. Speaking of queens, we soon found that in our happy family there were many who would have been classified as such, for right before our very eyes May Wertz was dashing to a tea in a lovely red jersey, and Betty Fahr, in a stun- ning black silk, showed is the church-stroll . All the new styles were fashioned — even those knee- high socks that Helen Mcllwaine wore with her good-looking tweed suit. We also got our first glimpse of those southern beauties who are so traditional at S. T. C. and of whom we boast so proudly. It was indeed a treat, not only for the newcomers but for all, to see just what was worn at Farmville and just when and how it should be worn. The pleasure was all ours ! We ' d always heard that the way to a man ' s heart was through his tummy, but big-sister must have it was a grand approach to any friendly relation, for we had the loveliest cookies and luscious punch. Just between yovi and me, they didn ' t stare disapprovingly when we humbly held out our empty cup for more. Smiles — gay conversations. The bell. Thanks- and good-night.

By a bliz- ■ ' - zard ' i No, jnst the latest Student Standards ' brainstorm — huge extra curricula schedule cards to keep meetings straight and to check on points. It was all started by a plan presented and passed at the ■first student body meeting, where we voted to raise our scholastic standard by reducing the number of organization meetings and scheduling meetings so there would be practically no conflicts. One hour was left open every night for flexibility. Call meetings were ruled out except for emergencies. Oh, yes, and that disturbing new rule about grades was added too. No one can belong to an organization unless she makes a C average. We had long worked and hoped for the possibility of having the new browsing room open Sunday after- noons. They say, Where there ' s a will, there ' s a way, and Miss Snead finally consented. The library committee of the Y. W. C. A. volunteered to take over the management, and now we can browse to our hearts ' content on those long Sunday afternoons. Another one of our dreams was fulfilled when the new senior rec was opened. The seniors had been clamoring to get a new dating parlor for a long time, and this was just the solution to their problem. They are their own hostesses now, and it has worked like a charm with the seniors cooperating splendidly. Particularly interesting this year has been our work with the faculty. Their advice and cooperation in our attempts to solve problems, and to emphasize quality instead of qiiantity in our school life, has been greatly appreciated. Members this year included Martha Wheichel, Ellen Royall, Helen Seward, Frances Eosebro, Helen Lewis, Caralie Nelson, Jean Mover. Liggie Ellett, Rosa Courter, May Wertz, Pat Gibson, Allene Over- bey, Agues Patterson, Ruth Lea Purdum, Nell Quinn, Julia Eason, and Evelyn Quillin. Faculty advisers were Miss Bedford, liliss Crad- dock. Miss Mary Hiner, Miss Draper, Mrs. Watkins, Miss Nichols, and Miss Royall. We ' ve enjoyed working for Student Standards. Many people wonder just what Student Standards is. Probably the best explanation is finding out what we do. It might be called a round table or even a clear- ing house where problems and suggestions for school improvements are discussed. The committee hopes above all that it can help make life here at college more pleasant and worthwhile for us and for those to come. On Our Honor . . . The Student Council THIS year, for the first time iu the history of the school, the entire student body signed the Honor Code. As radical as the change seemed to ns at first, it nevertheless made us think of the vows we were renewing, the ideals which we were again prom- ising to fulfill. In the years be- fore each incoming class of fresh- men and all new girls were asked to sign the code by which they were to live while in Farmville State Teachers College; but in the fall of 19-iO, it seemed to us only fitting that this code should be put foremost in the minds of all girls, both old and new. Serving the student body were Caralie Xelson, president; Alice Leigh Barham, vice - president ; Caroline Eason, secretary ; T aney jSTafF, treasurer; and Agues Pat- terson, chairman of the Campus League. We celebrated Dr. Jarman ' s birthday in November with a lovely banquet at Long vood. Ti-ue to custom and tra- dition, the long, heavily laden tables of the banquet room gleamed with candles and glowed with the gorgeous red roses which are Dr. Jarman ' s favorite flowers. The room rocked with laughter when Dr. Caralie Nelson President of the Student Body Jarman said that his girls had outfitted him from head to foot because the Student Council had given him a silk umbrella and the Y. W. C. A. had pre- sented him with a dozen pairs of silk socks ! Representing the Senior Class were Marian Heard and Patsy Fletcher; the Junior Class, Martha Cottrell and Gene Hardy Kilmon ; the Sophomore Class, Betty Boutchard and Ella Marsh Pilkinton ; the Ereshman Class, Hannah Lee Crawford and Mary Evelyn Pearsall. Jean Moyer, president of the Y. W. C. A. ; Frances Ellett, president of the House Council ; and Rosa Courter, president of the Athletic Association, served as ex - officio members of the council. As usual, we ushered for lyce- ums, and everyone told us we made very attractive usher- ettes. It was a constant surprise to see which lovely evening dress Xancy ISTafF woiild wear to g-uide the audience to their seats. By this time we had caught on to that baifling Row I, which wasn ' t there, and we avoided it studi- ously. Our booth in the circus was a huge success. Patsy Fletcher was drawing the crowd in large num- bers with her cutting of life-like silhoiiettes for only First roir, left to right: Fletcher, Courter, iloyer, Xaff, Eason, Kilmon, Ellett, Heard.

We like to think that our Honor Code is a living- symbol of life at Farmville. It is a challenge and a trust to every member of the student body, and we feel that this year every individual has grasped its sisTiificance. singing, we broke our circle and followed Jean Tip the steps leading to the Colonnade. Marching down the Colonnade were many girls who within their hearts had grasped the free meaning of those lines which only a few minutes before had been just a quotation — yes, we were now ready to accept the chal- lenge and, with God ' s help, strive to live according- to our creed. Not hy Might ... Freshman Installation . . . not by power, but by ily Spirit, saith the Lord of Hosts. This to us was a quotation prac- tically meaningless and vague until the night we be- came Y. W. C. A. members. The beautiful service conveyed simply the true meaning of the organiza- tion. Dressed in white, symbolizing purity, we lined up on either side of the colonnade. Each of us was given an unlighted candle, which was later to be lighted by one of the cabinet members. As we stood waiting in the Colonnade, out of the darkness, flickered brightly the lighted cross and candles placed on the Annex steps in Joan Court. Indeed this symbol of the three-fold creed of the Y. W. C. A. was lovely and most creative of the feeling and desire for the finest and best things in life. Standing on the steps in a triangular formation were Jean Mover, president ; Martha ATielchel, vice- president, and Sara Cline, head of the membership committee, each holding a lighted candle. The cabinet members, seven on each side, led the two lines down opposite sides of the Colonnade steps ; down into Joan Court, forming at last a wide circle. Jean Moyer welcomed us with a talk which stirred the chords within each heart, and because of its sin- cere reverence, each of us felt more deeply the true value of Y. W. C. A. and felt proud to become a part of such an organization. Sara Cline read a passage from the Bible, and Martha Whelchel offered a lovely prayer of rededica- tion and consecration of the Y. W. C. A. in service and devotion to the school. The challenge was one of deep meaning and filled our beings with the sincere desire to accept it with all our might. We who held unlighted candles, were challenged to keep, when once lighted, the light ever bright within our hearts — to keep in mind, as the cabinet members lighted our lamps, the fact that this too was a challenge to Chris- tian service and Christian living. After each lamp had been lighted, we sang one verse of the Y. W. h-vmn, Follow the Gleam. While Left to right: Watts, Clemmons, Bingham, Conuelly, Pierce . . . And a Silence Falls as Freshmen Sign the Honor Code THE doors to the little auditorium were closed quietly by a government assistant and Caralie Xelson, our Student Body president, talked with us about our Honor Code. Each of us resolved in her heart sincerely to live up to the code we were about to sign. Silence indeed is golden, but more valuable was the slip of paper which each of lis was about to sign. With a nod, five of us walked to the table, pulled out our chairs, and together we sat. Just as cooperatively as we expected to live together, so we signed this, oiir Plonor Code. Mere words typed upon paper { Xo ! for our pulse etched each ideal upon our hearts: Concentration Sigiiature silence and a prayer ! Left to right: Ellett, Eason, Wriglit, Bell. ai€ 1 1 etc a e k The stranger in our midst at first, and very disconcertingly so — YOU wavered, those first helter-skelter days, and sometimes got as far as the Home Ofiice, but never quite into the phone booth. There were two days of adjusting yourselves — sched- ule - planning, room - planning (you wondered why your room wasn ' t as spacious and airy as a front suite for seniors) — making friends with those just as unused to college as yourself, until September nineteenth, when the upper classmen claimed possession of the campus. More greet- ings, exclamations, acquaintances with big sis- ters, and soon the spirit of the institution had absorbed you, and you. belonged. Election night came, with its excited talks and nominations and final cheering, for from it all came the finest president possible — Betty Bridgforth, of Kenbridge. Eager freshmen elected FayeNimmo, from Suffolk, as vice-presi- dent, and Bi ' oadnax Harrison, who ' s from Char- lottesville, as secretary. Mary Parrish Viccellio was voted treasurer. The organization of the class wasn ' t half over, though, for there was still the matter of classman to be settled. Miss Emily Kauzlarich, an addition to the Physical Educa- tion Department and instructor in modern dance, was vmanimously elected by the class as adviser. The days and weeks have been too short ; classes, dances, meetings, production — all have hastened the ending of a year full in every sense of the word — of small fears and disap- pointment, larger hopes and triumphs. Already you envision yourselves as sophomores. teJ hm an Left to right: Nimmo, Bridgfovth, Harrison, Viceellio. ......JiM ' ' Catherine Agree Frances Elizabeth Adams Betty Albright Ann ALEXAXDErt Lois Alphin Rachael Ammen Moody Anderson Louise Andrews Felicity Appeeley Jean Arrington Connie Aewood Garnett Barrett Carolyn Beard Jean Beard Katie Bess Bell Louise Irene Bell Dorothy Bellus Ann Berry Mary Keith Bingham Evelyn Bourne Rachel Bourne Dorothy Bozeman Sydney Bradshaw Betty Bridgforth Elizabeth Mae Brown Emma Broyles jS ancy Belle Bruce Mary St. Clair Bugg Betsy Bullock Leta Burford Caroline Caldwell Evelyn Cannon Sarah Carbonell Elsie Carmines Florence Care Marian Carter Lucille Che. tham Marie Cheely Evelyn Mae Chenault Rachel Claeke Betty Cleh mons Annie Leigh Coates Blanche Colavita ■ Hazel Colgate Patst Connelly Chaelotte Coeell MiLDEED COEVIN Lucille Cox Katheeinb Ceafton Hannah Lee Ceawford Maegie Culley DoEOTiiY Daeeacott Betty Davis Feieda Dekkee MiLDEED DrOSTE Kuth M.

We all felt that if one more sophomore called out Air Raid, we would die, and if we cleaned one more room, or carried one more laundry bag, death would be sweet. We ' ll never forget the endless cry of O, Sopho- mores, with your , the ghostliness of little and big rat courts, the parades of the sad creatures who were us. We finally admitted that it was fun, all in all, but we think it will be much more fun as a You, loved the increase in prestige, and didn ' t mind the oft-repeated, You hnotu more now than you ' ll ever know in your life, from teachers a id ■parents.

The satisfied feeling of belong- ing, the j:)lanning for Eat Week, the hilarity and fun when it arrived, the novelt} ' of ambling do ltown at odd hours — you thrived under the new privileges. Sports were important to you all fall ; winter was a time for making grades and busying yourself A ath an activity or two ; spring was the most delightful of the year. Miss Her was classman again and gave you a picnic at Longwood in October. You got along splendidly with her counsel ; Betsy Jennings, as president, has led you in every undertaking. Agues Patterson was elected secretary when Lillian Agnew left school. Mary Fidele Ilaymes served well as vice-president when Eliza !McDanie]s didn ' t return to school in the fall, and Charlotte Philips kept your finances in smooth condition. In February you reopened Club ' 43 in the Eec, with a large audience and better performance than last year ' s. Betty Youngberg was the chatty operator, and Jean Weller and the Ladies of Note sang Darkness beau- tifully. The modern dance, Patriotism, was given by the five modernaires, and Ann Ware was Zazu Pitts to perfection. Next year you ' ll leave your favorite haunts on . jinex.

Of course, every piece we ate Avent to our hips and stayed there for the rest of the year, bvit we always told ourselves that we needed sugar for energy (to get uj stairs and take a nap, more than likely ! ) Jeanne Hall led us into many and varied activities this year. In the first place, we all came back two days early to help orientate the freshmen before the upperclassmen arrived. Each one of lis was given a group of freshmen to look out for and gaiide through- out the year. Left to right: First row. Smith, Owen, Bartlett, Read, Hall, Rosebro, Mish. Second row, Turner, Eljel, Jennings, Saunders, Youngberg, Boyette, Moore, Price, Hardy, Patterson. We gave the freshmen an idea of The Wrongs and Eights of Campus IJress in our fashion show. We had a striking contrast in attire, for we sopho- mores wore the right, and the freshmen wore the wrong. Helen liardy looked divine in her dinner gown, which was featured in lademoiselle. Libby Bernard was a knock out in her two-tone gi-een with new elbow-length sleeves — the ideal dress for ly- ceums. Each year we select some project that we feel will help us make our Young Woman ' s Christian Associa- tion here at Earmville a better one. This year we wrote to different Y. W. organizations in the state and asked them to tell us something of their work. The girls were prompt in answering and wrote full accounts of their vai-ious activities. We all read them with the greatest interest and got lots of new ideas to make our organization of next year better than ever before. On the Trail Pegasus THIS year ' s plans really got off to a gallop with the Annual Fall Horse Show, held at Longwood. Thorington, German, and Shirley were surprised — but delighted — to receive blue ribbons. Prizes were donated by local merchants. Of course, the show was not without the thrills and spills that give the zip of excitement. Anne Cocks had a little spill, and Elizabeth Ann lost her ear-muffs as she galloped. JNTo doubt her mount was a little perturbed by Dee .Waid ' s all-red oiittit ! The beginners were soon initiated into the mys- teries of snaffle and curb bits, and the five gaits. Soon they knew how to mount a horse without flying over the other side. Shall we ever forget the scads of burrs we plucked from our patient steeds and our- selves? Miss Fox and the more experienced riders were very understanding and encoviraging in teach- ing horsemanship on the trail and in the ring. After Christmas came cold weather and even snow, but many brave souls kept right on riding. Always you could see German, White, or Spencer on Lindy, Sox, and Dan, taking a work-out. Charlie- boy, the villain of the place, kept all of us in mingled mirth and suspense. Picture Dr. Swing ' s surprise when he calmly decided to lie down and nearly pitched her into the creek! Or German ' s amazement when he hungrily chewed on her ear with more than tender affection ! In January we spon- sored, for those who love and appreciate horses, the picture, Maryland. We all looked forward to the colorful exhibition held for two days at the end of winter qiiarter. Then local, out-of-town, and college equestrians perfoitned in various costumes. We had planned such costumes as side saddle, informal, old-fashioned, formal hunt- ing, soldiers, cowboy and cowgirl, etc. Though we were unable to have as many types as we wanted, the riders were very impressive and skilled in per- formance. We began preparations for the Spring Show and our pals King Cole, Lindy, Smoke-rock, and Dan worked as hard as we did. Even Charlie- boy decided to cut out the horse-play and did his bit ! Ribbons and trophies were won by S. T. C, local. Chase City, and Lynchburg riders before a huge crowd of interested, eager spectators. As the year of aches and pains, spills and thrills, laughs and fears came to a close, we had such a sense of pride in achievement and membership that we determined to make next year even more successful. Officers for this year were the following: Lillian German, presi- dent ; Harriet Walker, vice-president ; Key Spencer, secretary; Mary Owens AYest, treasurer. Shirley Pierce handled publicity, and Margaret Bowling was club room housekeeper. Our counselor and teacher was Miss Stella Fox of Hampden-Sydney. Left to right: German, Spencer, Yest, White.

The H2O Club WE were off to our season of swimmiug with our best dive forward, in our brand new ideas on water carnivals. This year, the H2O Club did not have class competition in form of individual stunts for the water carnival. All classes collaborated in putting on a special feature — a water pageant. Rhythmical chants, soft lights, throbbing tropical music over green rippling water and — The Tale of a South Sea Island. It was of the triangiilar love affair between Manu, Kivi, and the beautiful Lita, in the drought-swept island of Xaihua. ilanu, wish- ful too, for the hand of Lita, designed a plot to get rid of Kivi by suggesting human sacriiice of the best diver to the rain gods in hopes of getting the much needed rains. In the role of a young bra ' e contesting for honors was Shirley Pierce, skillfully showing the hand stand. Dot Gaul and Frances Mallory gave the plain dive with ease and grace, while Corilda Chaplin aud Har- riet Walker did the jacknife with perfection. Xancy Dupuy displayed the half twist, and Gloria Pollard, who portrayed Kivi, after much competition took the laurels with the swan dive and her imique back dive. Buif Gunter did a grand job of directing. Xancy Dupuy and Pat Gibson were back of the formation swimming. Helen Macllwaine and Mary Sue Ed- mundson furnished the music, and Frances Mallory and Frances Parham did the costimies. Harriet Walker and Peggy Hughes managed the properties, and Xancy Pierpont and Ellen Ebel were responsible for the varied lighting eftects. Corilda Chaplin and Rosa Courter got out the progTams. We are indebted to Marjorie Rice, thoiigh not a member of the HjO Club, for the dramatic lines of the pageant. Peggy Hughes has kept our pennies aud notes for lis, and ] Iiss Barlow has been o ir ever helpful and competent adviser. Xancy Dupuy is our new presi- dent. In connection with the Red Cross Service we spon- sored Senior Life Saving and Examiner ' s courses in the winter and spring quarters. Our season was cli- maxed with the intramural meet between Red and White and Green and White aud with the Intercol- legiate Telegraphic Meet. Such Leaders Have Been Found Among You . . . Alpha Kappa Gamma THE crowded auditorium grows still . . . the cur- tains of the stage draw aj art . . . strains of soft music fall in the hush . . . and the Alpha Kappa Gamma tapping service has begun. In a semi-circle on the stage sit the members in caps and gowns wait- ing to welcome new leaders into their midst. iVlpha Kappa Gamma chooses its members for qualifications of character, quiet leadership, and proved ability in both curricular and extra-curricular activities in school. Those of us who have been se- lected from the student body to join its ranks feel it a privilege beyond words, an honor we ' ll always re- member. Ruth Lea Purduni, Dorothy Eades, Caralie Nel- son, and Pat Gibson were our officers.

This work was done by the joint cooperation of the Joan Circle of Alpha Kappa Gamma and the 0. D. K. Circle of Hampden-Sydney. We also planned a joint banquet at Long-wood in celebration of the fact that this is the first time A. K. G. and O. D. K. have joined hands in charity work. A Three-Ring Circus M ' ' OVE over! I can ' t see! was all we could hear one night back in October, 1940. If Alpha Kappa Gamma is going to sponsor the circns, it should certainly make room for you and you, and you . . . ? Why, we had to be clowns ourselves in order to see anything. Oh, well — everyone was in the balcony and almost everyone was in the same situa- tion. Big crowd ? Yes, indeed ! Everyone wanted to know who was going to be crowned. Personally, I thought it might happen to anyone in that crowd ! But we didn ' t have much time to ponder and wonder, for the show was on. The stunts, beavitiful and unique, came first in fast succession and then the Seniors began the real show by their presentation of the one and only original Bingby, Raham, and Rally ' s Circus, and it was really a show for your money. Heck ' s A Poppin ! And it really did — we had never seen quite so many things happening at tlie same time before in all our lives. ' Heck jwppcd from everywhere — from the side entrances to the balcony. Each time it had a little more fire. Those Juniors are just little spit-fires, and we give them credit. The dandy trio they donated had us spell- bound and the song was written by Loiiisa Sanford — a junior. It was really worth making a note of and made a lovely finale. The ring master, Allene Overby, shouted a bit louder and revealed to us the winner of the stunts. Those Sophomores had stunted themselves right into the prize box, and they deserved it. Then came the grand surprise ! The queen, Helen ilacllwaine. was ushered into the grounds by six Boy Scouts and was dramatically crowned by Mary AVilson Carper, fresh- man representative to the court, before a most excited and enthusiastic audience. Her other attendants were Harriet Scott, junior, and Sarah Wade Owen, sopho- more. Hail to her majesty ! We ' ve never seen such excitement ! Please don ' t leave now — the fun is just begin- ning. Come on down with us and join in the fun. People 3 ' ellecl, Trv these delicious candied apples. Just when we had decided that they were jnst what we wanted, that old hot-dog stand played a trick on us and we were pulled toward those fascinating- dogs. The coca-cola gurgle sounded tempting and cool. What to buy ? Well, a circus conies only once a year; we bought everything and spent all oiir change ! One has to be a monkey at a circus. What ' s a circus with- out popcorn ? Many of us had dates in tow, and didn ' t have to foot our own bills. We splurged and enjoyed it all — food, side-shows, and everything. Yes, right you are. We had a won-der-ful time ! Come Out to Practice with — The Sports Managers gave Red and White twenty points toward the color cup. Xo varsity games were schediiled this season, but an honorarj ' hockey sqiiad was selected composed of Jane Hobson, Dot Johnson, Hester Chattin, Harriet Walker, Elorence Lee, Hallie Hillsman, Helen Mac- llwaine, Elizabeth Barlow, Marjorie Gooden, Betsy Jennings, Rosalie Rogers, Spilly Purdum, Anna Johnson, and Lee Foster. iSTell Hurt, manager of archery, and her assistant, Alice Britt, frequented the green at Long-wood with their archers. Xell showed her ability, indeed, as a leader of such a band, by carrying- off first honors at the fall tournament. Orchids to the HoO Club and Peggy Hughes, swim- ming- manager for the best water carnival we ' ve ever had.

With a larger num- ber than ever out to practices, we chased that little white ball up and down the athletic field every Tues- day and Thursday afternoons. Harriet Walker, hockey manager, and her assist- ant, Ellen Ebel, often were seen half covered with lime, slaving away at marking off the field. It was al- most Thanksgiving and time for the inter-c lass games. Lee Foster, freshman ; Hallie Hillsman, sophomore ; Spilly Purdum, jimior; and Helen Macllwaine, senior, were elected class captains. On the eventful color rush day, the Freshmen trounced the Sophomores in a victory of 3 to 1. The final scoring of the intramural hockey tournament Basketball, our favorite winter sport, was managed in fine style by Marjorie Gooden, assisted by Virginia Hill. A greater percent responded to the announce- ment of basketball practice at four this afternoon, and soon we were in shape for the varsity and inter- class games. As publicity chairman, we could not have done without Corilda Chaplin to carry the news to the Rotunda. Helen Seward, social chairman, really kept us pepped lip with chess games and fiddle sticks on Saturday nights. The refreshments weren ' t so bad either. From September to June, the sports were ours. We Plan It— You Play It Athletic Association To share onr fun we began early with the freshmen. On September 19 we found ourselves among four hundred new girls, all in the process of getting settled at S. T. C. To help out a bit the A. A. just took the whole bemuddled gang out to say How do you do to Long- vood. A picnic was the means of approach. President Eosa Courter introduced our vice-presi- dent, Crews Bordon ; secretary, Marty Roberts ; treas- urer, Dot Johnson ; and adviser, Miss Her. Then, after a round at the good food, it wasn ' t long until our new friends had caxight the spirit and joined with us in singing the school songs and playing games. We all came back to school that evening full of coca-colas and potato chips, and feeling much better satisfied with life. In October we were knee deep in hockey practices, schedules, and color rush plans. Every time we went out to hockey practice, we sighed a wish to be play- ing on the new athletic field that was only in the process of being made. This spring our wishes were realized when we played our spring tournament on it. Color rush put us on our toes getting the banners, colors and referees in readiness. It was Red and White ' s day definitely in the Rush and at the hockey games. Plans to celebrate our Christmas party in the new Field House were disappointed, but the stockings that Santa left for each of us under the Christmas tree in the Stu- dent Building Lounge almost compensated for the disappointment. When we did move in, we were so thrilled we couldn ' t sleep for weeks. With a new office, a meeting room, and an equipment center, it is an ideal rendezvous for the athletic girls. It is our pride and joy. Those square dances we sponsored last winter were rare indeed. Our own musi- cally minded S. T. C. girls furnished the music for us most of the time, but once we had real fiddlers, and Miss Kaiilarich called figures. Saturday nights for us meant play nights in the Student Building lounge at a game of dominos or a set of bridge, and then, of course, there were always those wonderful refreshments to look forward to. The various tournaments in archery, volley ball, ping-pong, swimming, tennis, golf, and baseball have made our sports calendar a full one. We also sponsored the inter-class hockey and basketball games. Rounding out our year of sports were the varsity basketball games, which were al- ways the sensation of the season. Left to riglit: er, Borden. Roberts, Miss Her, Johnson, Court- Be a Sport! Monogram Club INDIAIN summer, blue and white monograms, hikes, LongTvood buns — we can ' t think of a better combi- nation. Last fall on Saturday afternoons, we were off on our five-mile hikes do vn the back way to Long- wood. Led on by that bun that we knew would be our reward, some of us, including Harriet Walker, Flor- ence Lee, and Crews Bordon, even dared the ten-mile hike. We hardly knew which delighted us more — the buns of Long-wood or the leaves of autumn, golden yellow, orange and red. October found Peggy Hughes, Rosa Courter, and Helen Macllwaine patting blue monogTams against the white background of our booth at the circus in which we sold candied apples. For the recipe ask Helen Seward and Chapie Chaplin, who struggled so hard coloring and dipping those two bushels of apples. Our athletes txirned out to be good salesmen too! Get your colors right here, yelled Pat Gibson and Dot Johnson from the table in the hall. This chant ranked second only to Come on, Red ; Come on Green. It was color rush — and what would color rush be without our red and green paper hockey sticks that the classes display so proudly ? Wild yells surrounded the Coca-Cola machine where we were selling- cokes and nabs that afternoon at the hockey games. But color consciousness was almost for- gotten by Christmas time. Whether in hockey, tennis, golf, basketball, volley ball, shooting the bull ' s-eyes, or strolling around campus, the blue and white monogram stands for the spirit of fair play. Our purpose is to recognize upperclassmen who excell in athletics as well as in scholastic standings and are possessors of that admir- able quality — sportsmanship. We ' ve found all of these in our president, Helen Sewai ' d, and in our sec- retary-treasurer, Plelen Macllwaine. Miss Her has been our ideal adviser. Spring brought the robin ' s song, green leaves, long hikes, more buns, and new members to carry on. Left to right, first row: McUwaine, Walker, Lee, Seward.

The Drarndtic Club THE most satisfying thing about a play is remem- bering it afterwards. From the lowliest stage- hand to the most highly acclaimed actress, we all like to look back on those hours spent in rehearsals, those headaches we acquired over difficult sets and elaborate costumes. We laugh in remembrance of small funny incidents ; we weep a little because our play is so soon over. We look forward eagerly to the next play we ' ll give, and speculate about our part in it, before or behind the scenes. Our fall production was the favorite by J. M. Barrie, What Every Woman Knoius. Mary Hunter Edmunds played the beloved Maggie, and Johnny Pancake, a member of the Jongleurs of Hampden- Sydney, acted her stupid, unenlightened husband. Jane McGinnis play ed the fascinating hussy, Sybil Tenterton, who tries with all her charms to lure Maggie ' s husband from her. Peggy Bellus was at her best as the witty, ageless, prying Comptess de la Briere. Lex Allison, Keith Eubank, Tedo Savage, and Alex Jones played the other male roles. How can we ever erase the memory of all the little things which go to make up a play ? Alex Jones ' valiant attempt to gTOw a beard so he would better suit his part . . . the light brown stubble that re- sulted . . . those huge, cumbersome bustles which were sewed on us . . . Hunter ' s green velvet train . . . Jane ' s false curls . . . Peggy ' s stately dignity and sly humor . . . Johnny ' s amazing Scotch ac- cent . . . Tedo ' s charrum . . . and finally, glori- ously, the wonderful appreciation of our audience. It was worth every bit of work we put into it, to play before that audience. When we were apprentices, trying to decide which line of dra- matic work to enter, there were seven departments from which to choose: lighting, headed by Anna George and Dot Johnson; make- up, Mary Lou Shannon, assisted by Irma Graff and Margaret Bowling; properties, Harriet Haskins; staging, Dell Warren; cos- tuming, Gene Hardy Kilman ; acting, Peggy Watkins ; music, Vir- ginia Howell. Frances Rosebro resigned from her position as parliamentarian, and ilay Bartlett took her place. Mildred Morris had charge of the scrapbook. Boo Bar- ham led us through the year as presi- dent of the club with Patsy Smith as vice-president ; Gerry Ackiss, secretary ; Lillian German, treasurer; and Lillian Wahab, manager of the play contest. These officers, the heads of the depart- ments, and Miss Wheeler made uji our executive board. We were greatly honored (and very excited) by the visit to our campus of Bob Porterfield, director of education- al dramatics in the State of Virginia. It was a little like having royalty de- scend upon us, with all the bustle, and to-do, and getting-ready we did. Peggy Watkins was so determined to meet and talk with Mr. Porterfield person- ally, that she lurked around the colon- nade one entire afternoon, looking like a shady character. She finally found the unsuspecting man and guided him breathlessly to Miss AMieeler ' s hovise. We were all highly amused and more than a little jealous over it. We gave a lovely banquet at Long- First rou; left to right: Birham. Miss Wheeler, Smith. ftccond row, left to right: German. Ackiss. Left to riglit : George, Thorington.

Lex Allison, and Johnny Pancake of the Jongleurs, attended, as well as the executive hoard of the Dra- matic Club. Miss Wheeler was the charming hostess. The next evening Mr. Porterfield spoke informally to the entire club at a reception given in his honor, and it was noticeable that Bob was a large hit with everyone. We loved the way he called all of us honey, even Miss Mary. Kneel for . . . Senior Installation DOWlSr the aisle came the Seniors led by our president, Ruth Lea Purduni, and other class ofiicers. Each head was high and upon each face was a quiet smile. Little-sisters in their white added to the procession greatly and also added, we know, to the satisfaction of big-sisters. All Seniors and little-sisters went to their proper places and were seated, but not for long. In less than a minute a chord sounded, and Seniors and little-sisters were on their feet. Row by row we marched toward the steps which, in turn, we were to ascend in order to reach the coronation platform. Each girl walked across the stage toward Dr. Jarman, who was carefully adorning each head with the four-cornered symbol of achieve- ment. Each girl smiled, quivered a little bit, and was thankful to have little-sister near. When the last Senior had been officially made such and was back in her proper place, the Alma Mater was played, and the caps and gowns were on parade.

On March fourteenth, we presented First Lady, that hilarioiis comedy by Katherine Dayton and George S. Kaufman. Feminine leads were taken by Mary Hunter Edmimds and Peggy Bellus ; Johnny Pancake and Lex Allison represented the Jongleurs as the male stars. An up-to-the-minute farce on our national capital, this play required a larger cast than we ' ve had in years, and much new talent was dis- covered among the members of our club.

The Color Rush EVERYONE assembled outside the building and waited breathlessly for the familiar soimd of the bell to signal go. Suddenly the race was on ! Rosa Courter, Marian Worsham, and Aseita Altamare, se- niors; Mickey Beck, Nancy Dupuy, Hester Chattin, and Dot Johnson, juniors ; Frances Parham, Pauline Clemens, and Betty Sexton, sophomores ; Elizabeth Ann Barnes aud June Smith, freshmen, were repre- sentatives of their respective classes. Each of us on the outside ran in our imaginations as hard and as swiftly as did the fleet runners. SpeaJ ing of Odd Jobs Top pictttic: We «ati,-hed the hockey games on lolor Rush Day.

Freshman Commission T A 7 ILL you shush for Prayers touight, at the Post V V Office V ' Llow many times has each of us heard that question i One could hardly refuse even that hard job, especially when our members smiled as they inquired. Keeping quiet for prayers on week nights was only one of the many things done by the Freshman Com- mission throughout the year. With good will the Com- mission frantically dug around and searched high and low for old clothes until each girl in school would almost turn to run when she saw us coming for fear we ' d snatch the clothes off her very back ! We finally collected enough and sent them to a mission in Alex- andria. When the Christmas season came, we joined into the spirit of things and helped with the traditional Planging of the Green. That night we invited the Sophomore Commission to sing carols with us, and from one end of the campus to the other could be heard the strains of many of the old favorites. Then came the happy day in the spring when Longnvood was the scene of much fun, food, laughter, and playing. That was the day of our picnic when we First row. left to right: Gilliam, Sutton, Richard, Hawthorne, Taylor, Bridgforth. Second row, left to right: Ebel, Pierce, McCorkle, Bingham, Woody, Waid, Jeffries. hiked out to the cabiu with the Sophomore Commis- sion. On Sunday mornings after breakfast we conduct- ed Morning Watch in the Student Building Lounge. It was a simple, yet impressive service — a way of be- ginning Sunday with quiet reverence and respect. All through the year we did social service work and helped the Y in any way that we could. Without the help of the Sophomore Commission we could never have made our plans or had them work out so well. We were overjoyed when we learned that Ebo had been appointed our Fresh- man Counselor to guide us in our work. Our own capable officers were Doris Taylor, chairman; Sara Jeffries, secretary ; Helen Gilliam, treasurer ; and Xell Richards, Morning Watch chairman. All said and done, we feel that our efforts weren ' t in vain. We ' ll always remember oiir meetings, held on every second and fourth Wednesday night. There we always tried to do our best for the students. Hard work ? Yes, but we loved it ! C Quien Sabe ? Spanish Club T ' LL be the bouncing ball — Ready? From the be- J- ginning! If you had dropped in to visit us, you might have thought such words strange to come from a Spanish Club! Our method of learning Spanish songs was the rather painful, but accurate, device of writing the Spanish words on the blackboard and learning them two lines together. We usually worked in the lecture room in the library, Avhere we could have a blackboard and a piano. Mildred patiently played and sang as Mrs. Martin pointed to each word and helped us in pronunciation. Whenever we could- n ' t quite fit all the words into the music, one of oiir hatin American students helped us figaire it out. Since, our club is a reorganization of the old Cir- culo Espaiiol, revived only this year, we were a little late in getting organized. After classes had met for some time, we decided to form a club for those inter- ested in speaking, reading, and singing Spanish. We also wanted to join the movement to improve rela- tions and understanding between Latin America and the LTnited States. Those students who qualified met and elected Mildred Morris president and Carmen Portela secretary. Other members included Anne Garnett, Alice Belote, Stella Scott, Jean Bourne, Evelyn Thoring-ton, Betty Youngberg. Lolita Robert, Sarah Carbonell, Priscilla Barreto, Xorah Beau- champ, Celia Sosa, Carrie Gibboney, and Margaret Lovina. Then we planned social and educational ac- tivities for the year. Some of our members took part as guests in the professional meeting of Spanish teachers on our cam- pus. The Puerto Rican members of our club sang Cielito Lindo and Perfidia. We sighed and wished the liquid Si anish sounds would ripple from our tongues as easily as from theirs. Lolita Robert gave a short talk in Spanish on Going to School in Puerto Rico. Later in the year we presented a chapel program, consisting of songs sung in Spanish, and then settled down to some hard work in our meetings, which were usually in the form of laboratory sessions. We had such fun reading the jokes, working the cross-word puzzles, reading the news, and looking at the pictures in El Eco, ' ' our bi-monthly newspaper. We feel that we have greatly increased our knowledge of the Span- ish language and reached a better understanding of Pan-American problems. Mirabile dictu! Sigma Pi Rho WAIT a minute ! Don ' t turn that page ! You are probably the victim of a very bad prejudice if you do. First of all, maybe you think we ' re one of those do-nothing organizations that exist for the sole purpose of collecting dues and making regular roll calls. You think Latin is a dead language and an organization in the interest of Latin just naturally must be a pretty dead affair too. But that isn ' t tr ;e First roiv, left to right: Ammen.

We ' ve been very much alive and gTowing for the last twelve years. At first we were only a local organization with five girls, and now we have chap- ters in West Virginia, Georgia, Louisiana, Arkansas, Indiana, Illinois, and Ohio. Every year for the last ten years the girls here in our local chapter have prepared articles for our mag- azine, The Tribidum, which has become the national First rO ' W, left to right: Ford, Nelson.

These articles are original compositions, es- says, poems, and even short plays. Did you ever wonder where we got the custom of giving away our hearts ou February 14 ? And do you know where we got our calendar and the names of the months ? There is so much in our everyday lives that belongs to Rome. Our Christmas meeting- is always colorful and festive. We all cherish the Christmas cards in Latin from Miss Rice, even if we can only giiess at their full meaning. Trying to sing- Christmas carols in Latin is lots of fun if you can juggle the words around to tit the music. Our group is so small that all of our meetings are very informal and everyone has a chance to take part. At every meeting we find new ways in which the law, the literature, the language, and the customs of the Romans aifect our own civilization. Some of our discussions about Roman life sound surprisingly modern. We found, for example, that Latin women were just as much concerned about making themselves beautiful and attractive as any twentieth century g-irl. Only instead of having a Dorothy Dix or Betty Ely to advise them on the matter of how to catch, win, and keep one ' s beloved, they had Ovid, a man who was a shrewd judge of feminine nature. Our members this year included Emma Hutchin- son, president ; Sally Dunlap, vice-president ; Carolyn Ford, secretary and treasurer ; Ernestine ileacham, reporter ; Caralie ISTelson, Sara Cline, Jane Lee Hutcheson, Carmen Clark, Mrs. Coon, Dr. Walmsley, and Mr. Grainger. We will always associate Sigma Pi Rho with Miss Rice, our leader. She knows and loves so well the gTandeur that was Rome that she has brought the dead lanoaia£ e before us alive ami vibrant.

Senior Dance AND music we had, played eutrancingly by Buss Smith and his band from Charlottesville. The date ? December 7, 1940. The time ? Nine o ' clock sharp. The occasion ? We seniors were being hos- tesses to our underclassmen at the Senior Prom. We would know no more the struggle of class pro- ductions, but, befitting our dignity as seniors, we were arrayed in white and thrilled over giving our dance. Ruth Lea Purdum, our president, worked dili- gently with Forrestine Whitaker, chairman of the prom. Betty Fahr, Emily Hoskins, Louise Paint- er, and Faye Brandon made up the orchestra com- mittee; Dorothy Rollins and Patsy Fletcher had charge of decorations. Those decorations ! They symbolized the main characteristics of each of our four years, and they gave us again memories we ' ll never forget. For the seniors, horn-rim glasses and a large teaching sign s anbolized the agony and bliss of the last year. Books were for oiir junior year; a color cup of ' 39 made us remember that proud feeling when we were sophomores ; naturally, the eternal rat-cap showed us as freshmen. Jane Powell, honorary member of the class, came back to lead the figure with Flea and Jack as- sisting. The orchestra played soft music, and we formed the traditional fig-ure, this time a ' 41. Fol- lowing the formation was a no-break dance in our honor. To the strains of Stardust we danced, fully aware that we were true seniors. There ' s Music in the Air . . . The Choir and Choral Club TRY-OUTS! Try-oiUsl It se. ' iir.Ml that all who ever sang a note wanted to get into one of the choral organizations ! They had a choice of singing in the Choir, in one of the A Capjx ' lla grdups, or in the Madrigal Singers, a recent addition representing a novel type of musical group at Farmville. Among programs by more experienced groups was that made by the Senior A Cappella at the State Theatre here in Farmville. We felt justly proud of the reception accorded by a delighted audience, which seemed especially pleased with one of the highlights, a novelty number called Shortnin ' Bread. The au- dience was captivated by the trio, who sang Li ' l Black Baby and You Caift Sit Your Lodging TTero.

Although the Jiinior A Cappella was not a new organ- ization, it had to strive hard to maintain last year ' s reputation. After Mr. Strick chose the most success- ful in tryouts, each group settled down to steady, serious work. The Senior A Cappella set iis a splendid example as its twenty members engaged in work-outs at 12 :30 in Mr. Strick ' s classroom. At 4 :30 Forrestine ' s hard- working group held its regular rehearsals, a mixture of fun, determined effort, and joy in accomplishment. Everybody dug in and sang away, from Fiddle with her big bass to Peggy with her lyric soprano. Meanwhile, Virginia Richards was devoting all her settled down to one big objective — the Christmas program for December 15. We gave the Hallilujah Chorus from the Messiah with Hampden-Sydney Glee Club, as well as other varied selections by the several choral gToups. When the boys came in from Hampden-Sydney to practice with us, it sounded funny at first to hear male voices in that room cus- tomarily attuned to feminine choruses. We sang Joseph Came Seeking a Resting Place, Come, Spirits, ' Tis His Day, and A Legend. Irene Al- derman ' s A Cappella gToup, a new organization of freshmen, gave Music When Soft Voices Die and Before the Paling of the Stars. At last the Madri- gal Singers made a formal debut. It was fun to sit around the table and sina; with the air of sixteenth a. ntnnnniif(tnj The College Choir and Glee Club time and energy to getting the Junior A ' Capella ready for an Armistice Day progTam. We sang Mr. Strick ' s own composition, Faith in America, at the American Legion banquet at the Farmville High School. Were we surprised when they presented us with a three-pound box of Hollingsworth ' s candy after we finished singing ! At last the Madrigal Singers, infant of the choral organizations, gave a short progTam early in ISTov- ember in Chapel. The Junior A Cappella gToup joined the Senior A Cappella in singing at the Teachers ' Convention in Richmond on November 20, after both groups worked diligently and eagerly in order to give a polished performance. We sang Alleluia by Mozart and Faith in America, which were acclaimed by music lovers present. After the Thanksgiving holidays all the groups century tavern singers, which we represented in our Elizabethan robes. After exams and Christmas holidays we turned our efforts toward work on other scheduled programs. Of course, the outstanding thing to which we looked for- ward with mingled joy and suspense was the Spring Concert for April 4. Forrestine took her group through some hard work on the solo broadcast in Jan- uary over WRVA. We enjoyed giving Panane and the Spirit Flower. April ' s approach intensified our work as we put the finishing touches on our Spring Concert with Harvard and Duke Universities. We think of this concert as the climax of many seasons, but we still had our trip to Richmond to enjoy. Hearing our fa- vorite opera sung by the Metropolitan Company and broadcasting ourselves were experiences we won ' t for- get soon.

After we re- covered from gales of laughter at our mistakes and all thumb-uess, we tried to make our brain chil- dren iDerform on the small stage we had erected. Before we had become too engrossed with our pride and joy, it was time to decorate for Fall Cotillion. We created a perfect atmosphere and backgTound with our li ' l red schoolhouses, college pennants, and autumn leaves along the walls of the gym. Our activities got under way as we made Christmas toys and had a lovely Christmas party. .Tanuary Left to right: Radspiiinev, Walker. Fletcher, Turner, Parker, German. Rollins.

In this we pre- sented the work of Theresa Pollak, noted Virginia artist, whose paintings of darkies were especially good. Dot Rollins, that wizard in cute decorating ideas, led us in bedecking the gym for Spring Cotillion, which rounded out a thoroughly successful, enjoyable, and worthwhile year. Officers were Anne Turner, Harriet Walker, Patsy Fletcher, Dot Rollins, and ] Iiss Booton, adviser. Throughout the year we vied with one another in planning, designing, and tinally, making our own jewelry. Some of us made impressive rings with stones; others skillfully cut plain bands, and some even attempted a fancy or plain pin. Call Downs, Laie Lights . . . House Council THE first night of school, in the fall, was not the usual tedious time for the Council. Liggie was met by Mrs. McCoy in the halls, and immediately urged to bed, so amazed that the rest of us were left to prolong our first night celebrating. There are always incidents and situation to be- wilder the best of us and to be remembered in the end as more amusing than harmful. Betty Sexton had to cope with Flijj and Faye Ximmo on the night they attempted to adorn the Rotunda with mat- tresses from their beds. And the naming of the halls was quite appropriate this year, with Ritzy Row (second floor Annex) and Rickets Row (first floor Annex) leading the rest in prominence. Ritzy Row presented their Campus Queen, and her ilhistrious court ; Ebo, with three call downs, was maid-of-honor for Sarah Wade, who had four, and those who had as many as two composed the court. The pageant was presented on the Colon- nade, with an audience from Farmville and Hampden-Sydney en- joying the spectacle. The Council met every second and fourth Monday night in the Council Room. Each quarter began with roll call meeting on each hall, at which the hall presidents reviewed the House Council reg- ulations. Peace and quiet were the order from seven-thirty until ten, and then there was a half-hour for the necessary bedtime chat- ter and visiting. The usual late light permissions were gTanted until eleven o ' clock. The Coca-Cola machines in the Main Build- ing and in Junior Building were temporary problems imtil the penalty of a call-down was given for visiting them after ten-thirty. Frances Leigh Ellett served as president of the Council with Josephine Ware as vice-president, Jane Engleby as secretary, and Marsraret Mish as treasurer.

Scroll of Honor Alpha Phi Sigma WT HJS one must be centuries old! J- Xow this one surely was never op- ened! Imagine parting with a treasure like that ! We had a comment, a sigh, or a laugh for nearly every book we bought in our second-hand book store this year. After we secured permission from Dr. Jarman to open such a store instead of our usual book exchange, we started buying books at the beginning of the winter tpiarter. There was much interested speculation on our part as to the owners of some of the texts we bought. How, we pondered, can anyone study without opening The Philosophy of Education or General Chemistry? It ' s safe to bet that those high school valedictorians and salutatorians, initi- ated at the beginning of the year, had opened, and absorbed, many books ! After the term was started, we planned our activities for the year. We renew- ed our efforts to encourage a high scho- lastic achievement among freshmen and sophomore classes, since our so- ciety is the only honor society for which they are eligible. After fall quarter we had to decide on those among our members who could ad- vance to the next degi-ee above appren- tice or attain the highest rank in Alpha Left to right: Hillsman, Felts.

By the time spring quarter came, our group had grown fairly large, and we welcomed each addition. Since our meetings were limited, we usually com- bined the business to be carried on with some type of social program or entertainment. Sometimes re- freshments brightened our gatherings. Early in the year we began to plan our picnic, which we decided to have in the cabin at Longwood. Our capable leaders for the year were May Bart- lett, president ; Mary Willson, vice-president ; Hallie Hillsman, secretary; Site Marshall, treasurer; Miss Draper, adviser. Forensically Yours Pi Kappa Delta t; ' 0 have a third term or not to liave a third term — that was the question. Since this was a timely issue in jSTovember, we ac- cepted the request of the University of Virginia for a debate here. Thelnia Courtney and Marie Allen re- presented Farmville before an interested audience. Then some of us got busy on the national question for Pi Kappa Delta but others in our gToup were teach- ing. It was decided that Jack Cock and Elizabeth Anne should represent Farmville at the December tourney in AA ' inthrop. At that meeting Farmville was one of the four colleges to receive a special citation. Our Pi Kappa Delta members won iowr out of six Marie left by bus for Alabama. They had hardly re- turned before Myi-tle, Marjorie, Elizabeth Anne, and Keck departed for the Grand Eastern in AYinthrop, South Carolina. This tourney was held at Easter and was voted most successful and enjoyable by those who went. We were hostess later in the year to Wofford Col- lege, which sent three teams to our campus. As tbe year drew to a close we welcomed two new members to Pi Kappa Delta, Myrtle and Marjorie — an honor they had well deserved. When elections were held, Elizabeth Anne was chosen President, for the coming new year. We regTetted that so many of our varsity members left us in June. At oiir annual banquet at I.ongwood members of the Debate Club were our guests. We expressed our appreciation to our coaches, Miss Xichols and Dr. Walmsley, and said farewell, forensically speaking, to our seniors. rounds and entered other contests. In February our varsity negative, Courtney and Marie, met Randolph-Macon Men ' s College here and lost a close decision. The next day four of us left with Miss Nichols for Shippensburg, Pennsylvania. On the way we stopped over in Washington, saw the sights, visited the Senate, and our negative met Amer- ican University in a non-decision debate. The next morning we arose early and reached Shippensburg in time for the first round of debating. Our aiErmative, Elizabeth Anne and Keck defeated Penn State, Bucknell, and Kutztown. We left Ship- pensburg and spent the night in Winchester. Sunday we came home down Skyline Drive to Charlottesville, and so back to Farmville. Miss ISTichols had su.ggest- ed taking a blanket. Were we glad ! The last of February we had a return debate with Charlottesville. Courtney and Marie went with Miss Nichols and met the University affirmative on a radio debate from WCHV.

Debate Club AFTER a very interesting chapel program by our sister organization. Pi Kappa Delta, try-outs were held for new members. Myrtle Jenkins, Fran- ces Thackston, Dorothy Marrow, and Jean Beard ac- cepted bids and were initiated. At a short meeting they became acquainted with our officers : Anne Cock, president ; Elizabeth Anne Parker, vice-president ; Helen DeLong, secretary, and Frances Keck, trea- surer. It was decided to send two members of the Debate Club and two from the senior organization of Pi Kap- pa Delta to Winthrop, South Carolina. Myrtle Jen- kins and Frances Thackston represented the negative; Jack Cock and Elizabeth Anne Parker, the affirma- tive. We saw them off on the bus and eagerly await- ed word from them. We heard that our girls had quite a trip down and that they really had loads of work to do. All four pitched right into the work and fun to win for Farmville. There were eight rounds of debates, impromptu speeches, extempore speaking, after-dinners, orations, poetry reading, enunciation contests, and radio announcing. Jack and Elizabeth Anne defeated Citadel, Emory and Henry, Wingate, and Mars Hill ; they lost to Lenoir-Rhyne and Brevard. Oiir junior team with less experience won two and lost fovir. We entered various contests and were all proud of Frances Thackston, who was judged Dixie Impromptu Champion. Elizabeth Anne placed second in prob- lem-solving. But our girls had fun as well as work. They had their meals downtown, and they say Jack was quite an expert at tlrambing rides, particularly in that Da- vidson station wagon ! Seems she also did her share of pushing it when it balked ! There was a dance Fri- day night after the traditional Wedding. At first it was a card dance, but later it was more informal. On Saturday our girls came back with Dr. Walmsley. They have not stopped talking yet about some of their adventures ! In February Marjorie Rice and Myi-tle were taken to Lynchburg College by Dr. Walmsley. They re- presented Farmville there on the negative and won the decision. Invitations were extended to various freshman and sophomore teams from near-by schools to engage in decision and non-decision debates. After a very suc- cessful trip, bids were issued to Frances Thackston. Myrtle Jenkins, and Marjorie Rice to become mem- bers of Pi Kappa Delta, a reward toward which they had worked hard.

And to think that we were to uphold the ideals and responsibilities of Kappa Delta Pi — we ten ! Our president, Dotty Rollins, and our adviser. Miss Camper, kept us ever aware of the vows to which we were pledged, and led us forward in our work. Thelma Courtney kept our records, and Libby West was impressively businesslike handling our budget. To Jean Moyer, our vice-president, and to the rest of our members, Alice Leigh Barham, Frances Gee, Mary McCoy, Caralie Nelson, RiTth Lea Pur- dum, and Martha Whelchel, fell the work of planning and executing the year ' s program. Getting started was hectic ! We had to send oif our annual report to the National Yearbook, and plan chapel talks for Education Week, November 3-10. Taking time oft ' for celebration, we entertained fes- tively at our Christmas banquet. Later at our spring reception, given annually for freshmen and sopho- mores whose averages topped upper quartile, we trad- ed the educational ideal for Cole ' s cookies and French cofl ee.

It really was a successful undertaking because no hungry junior or senior could stand to smell the delicious odors that came from the kitchen for long; they all broke down and bought hot coffee, toast, and an egg. Faye Brandon, our president, with the help of our adviser, Miss Mary Playnes, planned something of vital interest to us all at each of our meetings. We heard Miss Sibyl Henry speak on the investiga- tion she had made concerning the relation- ship between reading difficulties and hear- ing disabilities. Faye and Dot Menefee, our treasurer, were literally bubbling over with enthu- siasm about the National Convention when they got back to school. They had been all the way to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and it was worth it ; they got lots of fine ideas for our A. C. E. chapter. Elizabeth Glasgow, our vice-president; Frances Pritchett, our secretary, and Boonie Stevenson, our parliamentarian, helped to make our Christmas Kiddy The Societ]) of School-M a rms F. T. A. WHEjST we returned to school again this year, we felt more than ever before, the responsibility of our future profession. This business of teaching is more serious than we thought — and much more fasci- nating. Our first meeting found us fairly hanging on every word and helpful hint that Mrs. Mildred Sandison Teener gave us in her inspirational speech. Mrs. Teener is the National Historian of F. T. A. and make-up editor of the National Educational Association Jowrnal. We heralded in the winter quarter with a grand banquet in the tea room. !New members and members of the faculty who have served as ofiicers in the local organization of V. E. A. were oiir guests. Meeting in the new philosophy room was a treat, and after we got our new books and pamphlets ar- ranged, we felt truly organized. Under the leader- ship of Dr. Wynne, our sponsor, and !Margaretta Gerlaugh, our president, we feel that we have been giiided to higher and more progressive iTuder takings. Our chapter, the JosejDh L. Jarman chapter, organ- ized in 1939 by Dr. Joy Elmer Morgan, is striving, together with all the F. T. A. chapters in America, to attain the goal of a unified teaching profession. Meetings . . . serious considerations . . . laughs . . .

V V There ' s nothing wrong with her, is there ? said scores of our dates. She ' s a freshman, we replied. What ' s that got to do with it V Oh, you just don ' t understand, we sighed hope- lessly. We heard such as that all fall ; some of us really didn ' t tmderstand why all the Pan-Hel rules have to be, but we soon discovered the valid reasons. All the rules have a purpose, and they were formed after years of experimenting with sororities. Whenever we were in doubt about little week-end trips, football games, or boxes of food from home, we rushed to the Infirmary door, then slackened our speed and tiptoed wp to the second floor to find Esther Atkinson, our president. If she was nowhere to be found, we sought one of our other ofiicers. Elsye Berrye Yates, Xan Duer, Frances Pritchett, Sara Cline, Dot Lawrence, Harriet Haskins, Marjorie Holt, or our adviser, Miss Carolyn Cogbill. First roio, left to right: Lawrence Atkinson Second row: Cline Holt Stevenson Pritchett Diier Hoskins The chapter heads who made up our representatives were Polly Keller, Louise Painter, IsTancy Pierpont, Faye Brandon, Dot Menefee, Betty Peerman, Vir- ginia Howell, and Sue Marshall. Alternates were Mary Jane Ritchie, Boonie Stevenson, ISTancy NatT, -- Sr , Alpha Sigma Alpha Lucy Ellen Powell, Elizabeth Ann Parker, Mary Harvie, Anne Price, and Martha Frances Cohb. Our dance was great- — and it was rushy, too, because every chapter invited twenty-five girls to go as stags. They really kept things moving!

We purchased the most be-it- ti-ful new vie, and we tried to satisfy everyone by buying her favorite recording. The walls to our room were painted during the Christmas holidays. What an improvement the new paint made! The big indirect lamp that was to re- place the ceiling lamp, of course, didn ' t come in time for rushing, but we made out with the faint glow from a table lamp. Maybe the darkness lent enchantment to the occasion ! One would think Old Marrying Sam him- self had paid a visit to our little group. Amy, Anne Scott, Eleanor Hutcheson, Jean Scott, Mary Harvey, and Peggy Williams are all try- ing to prove that two can live more happily than one. We pledged fifteen girls at the close of the fall quarter : Betsy Bullock, Dorothy Bellus, Mary Keith Bingham, Mary St. Clair Bugg.

Alpha Sigma Tau T A7E visited the chapter room as soon as we ar- rived in the fall to survey the mass of things we ' d stored last June, the furniture draped in sheets, the usual disorder. After our helong- ings were carted to Main or the Building, the room restored to its atmosphere of fun and homelike comfort, we began to enjoy it again. We spent hours dancing to the vie or talking, aside from meet- ings which were held once each week. The district convention of Alpha Sigma Tau was held here on ISTov- ember second and third, and we were hostesses to many visitors and friends. Business meetings were important, of course, and afterward came a delightful luncheon at Brom- tield ' s tearoom. Then on Saturday evening there was a formal banquet held at Long-wood with eighty per- sons present. We terminated the occasion with a breakfast party in the chapter room Sunday morning. There were twenty-five of our own alumnae here for the Convention, and delegates from State Teachers College, Shepherdstown, West Virginia, Concord State Teachers College, Athens, West Virginia, and from several West Virginia alumnae chapters. We were proud to have also two national oflicers : Mrs. Mead McISTiel, vice-president, and Mrs. W. Leon Ma- son, chaplain and historian. First row, left to right: L. Turner, Eives. Second row: Hawthorne, Burge, Austin, Powell, Looney. Before the Christmas holidays began, we decorated a tree for the chapter room, drew names and bought each other crazy gifts, and had the gayest party ever. Rush Week was the important feature in January, and we cleaned industriously and selected new print- ed draperies for our windows. On Friday night we issued bids to twelve girls : Rachael Ammen, Louise Andrews, Jean Arrington, Alice Goode Cahoon, Eve- lyn Cannon, Dorothy Flowers, Bridget Gentile, Ann Henry, Mary Katherine Ingham, Inez Jones, iSTancy Langhorne, Doris Lowe, Christine Pittard, Ada Claire Snyder, and Catherine Kucker.

Our adviser was Miss Vir- ginia Bedford, with Miss Mary !Nichols and Miss Marjorie Booten as faculty members. Mrs. A. T. Gray, Mrs. J. D. Morton, and Mrs. W. F. Smith were patronesses. The active members are: Irene Alderman, Betsy Austin, Charlotte Avery, Nancy Goods Bland, Faye Brandon, Katharine Burge, Carroll Costello, Martha De Crawley, Caralee Gilliam, Charlotte Greeley, Louise Hall, ISTell Hall, Kathryn Hawthorne, Eveline Looney, Jean Moyer, Mildred Morris, Lucie Ellen Powell, Frances Pritchett, Dot Rollins, iSTancy Saun- ders, Marie Thompson, Auue Turner, Lillian Turner, and Helen Watts. Gamma Theta SWIMMIXG . . . dancing . . . lying in the sun . . . being to- gether at the Beach — this was our house party. iSTothing could have been more perfect than listening to Will Bradley and Eddy Duchin at the Clubs. When it was over, we realized that we had made memories we ' d always keep. September came inevitably, and Jane and Dot were the first to arrive at school. Bravely, they start- ed to move things from the chapter room, became too involved, finally gave it up as a bad job, and went to sleep. The rest of the girls arrived soon : Betty Peer- man, head; JSTancy Dupuy, vice-head; Martha Cot- trell, secretary; Charlotte Phillips, treasurer; Mary Katherine Dodson, Augusta Parks, Anne Williams, Martha Whelchel, Euth Lea Purdum, Emily Hoskins, Elizabeth Gunter, Polly LIughes, May Wertz, Betty Youngberg, Mary Harvey, Betty Sexton, Lois Jane Steidtmann, Stella Scott, and Margaret Mish. Miss Stubbs was refreshed from a summer of rest, and ready to start the new school year with the best spirit possible. Christmas came too soon, and we wondered where the autumn had gone. Our party in the chapter room was all that we had expected with candles and carols. Left to right: Peerman, Dodson, Hoskins, Phillips, Parks. Left picture, left to right: (.

The foolish little gumdrop C hristmas tree which Polly contrib- uted to the festivities amused us almost as much as the wild presents we got, complete with home-made poetry. We came back from the holidays, ready to move into our redecorated room. The walls were palest pink ; the floor boasted a new rug of blue — even our two - ton couch was changed miraculously by a striped slip cover. On Friday night, the end of a week of being attractive, we saw Ruth Woody, Hannah Lee Crawford, Lucille Lewis, Mary Parrish Viccellio, Faye Nimmo, Anna Parker, and Spilly Purdum as Baby Gammies. Left to right: Dupuy Mish Giinter Steidtmann The spring of 1941 was very important to us. We celebrated our thirtieth anniversary on the week-end of April twenty-sixth. All alumnae were invited back, and we planned important things. On Saturday night we held our Spring banquet at LongTvood, and count- ed it the biggest affair we had ever had. Candlelight fell softly on faces old and new ; laughter and sing- ing filled the air as we renewed old acquaintances and made new ones. June . . . caps and gowns . . . our seniors leav- ing us.

Jingle bells sounded, and up weut our Christmas tree. There were attractive gifts with rhymes for all and food in abundance. Dell Watkins, our alumna in town, initiated 1941 for us by inviting the chapter to her home for a tur- key supper. Winter rushing suddenly loomed up and with it the problems of redecorating the ' chapter room. A new rug was our main addition.

February ' s activities were climaxed by the Pledge Banquet in the Tea Room. Toasts, songs, valentines, and gay chatter were the order of the feast. Spring came, eng-ulfing us in a multiplicity of activities. May Bartlett, our secretary, was checking absences and Ann Benton, vice-head, was giving our pledges their exams. We bad our final round-up at Whitaker ' s Lake, and adieus meant only until we ' d see each other at another glorious houseparty. Members this year included Anne Ayers, Alice Leigh Barham, May Bartlett, Anne Benton, Brookie Benton, Peggy Lou Boyette, Gertrude Burwell, Yates Pi Kappa Sigma AFTEE the rush of get- ting settled and removing our valuables from the chapter room in September, we swapped did you knows and bits of information about our newly wedded members — Jane Royall, Buck Thompson, and Jean Terrill. Jane brought us glory when she was elected National Secretary of Al- pha Kappa Gamma. Keeping step with Jane ' s honors, early in the year were Dot Eades, Y. W. C. A. Chairman of Virginia Area Colleges; Boonie Stephenson, repre- sented in Yllo ' s Who in American Col- leges; and Sarah Wade Owen, sophomore representative in Circus Court. f ' .

Miss Leola Wheeler has been our inspiring adviser. We have one honorary member, Mrs. W. C. Fitz- patrick; two patrons, Mrs. L. E. Hubbard and Mrs. Harry Coudler ; and four sorores in urbe : Mrs. How- ard Cook, Mrs. James Fretwell, Mrs. Shad Watkins, and Mrs. J. H. Whitfield. Left to right: A. Wescott, Currie, E. Wescott, Kennett, Bailey, Watkins, Eades. Early in October Miss Her gave us an open-air supjDer in Mr. Graham ' s backyard. Unimmni — those delicious hamburgers ! October also brought a Hal- loween party, with the chapter room skillfully deco- rated in streamers of black and orange paper by Sarah Wade Owen, Betty Boutchard, and Jeanne Sears. In spite of all our scholastic and social activities, we found time to keep up with our sister sororities through the Laurel. We even made a personal visit to the chapter installed last year at Madison College. Miss Her and Painter went up for their Founder ' s Day. They attended a tea and a banquet and met the Xational President, Mrs. Neidig. Before we knew it, the Christmas season was ush- ered in, bringing those dreaded exams. A gay spot amid all the gloom was our Christmas party in the chapter room. Beforehand, we had drawn names, and First row, left to row: Stevenson, right: Strau First row, left to right: Ware, Dew, Ackiss, Slmlkcuni.

The Winter quarter seemed actually to fly, marked by election for officers and the celebrating of Mardi Gras. We nearly burst with pride when we discover- ed that Elsye Berry had been chosen Mardi Gras Queen by popular vote. All quarter we had such fun in our usual gab-fest, sandwich-munching parties in the chapter room, until the inevitable exams her- alded the approach of Easter. Outstanding social events in our Spring program included the banquet at Longwood, the party for graduating Pi Kaps, and the party of the pledges. As the year drew to a close, we began to look back over our full year. As we do-you-remeniber -ed we had many a laugh over that old green chair, Boonie ' s giggle during initiation, Jane ' s ' ' monkey act, the chewing gum girl — El, and the scent of Cynthia. Will we ever forget Berry ' s music, Libby ' s smile, the national Exams, Helene ' s white dress, Sarah Wade ' s said, or the first day we saw our beautiful new rug? Tops on the list of unforgettables is Painter, with her sparkling wit, her red specs, her big bro-nii eyes, and her excellent leadership.

At the end of fall rushing Eleanor Scott joined us. In November great plans were made for the visit of Mrs. Lyman Morrison, our National Inspector and Alumnae Representative, who came to inspect the chapter. Returning from Christmas holidays, we discovered that the next thing to be looked forward to was winter rushing. We were delighted at the addition to our chapter roll of sixteen lovely pledges : Louise Bell, Betty Bridgforth, Patsy Connelly, Mary Sue Ed- monson, Plelen Gilliam, Lauriston Hardin, Sara Hardy, Broadnax Harrison, Kitty King, Louise Mc- Corkle, Betty Overcash, Elizabeth Tennent, Betsy Trigg, Sarah Trigg, Frances Strohecker, and Kath- arine Vavighan. Anne Trotter, a transfer from Madi- son College came to vis at the beginning of the new quarter. The week-end of April twentieth was an important one for the Sigmas. We celebrated our forty-third anniversary at a beautiful Founders ' Day banquet at Long- vood. It was like old times with so many of our alumnae back with us. As a farewell tribute to the seniors, we gave a de- luxe picnic, complete with everything from pickles to potato chips. June was here. June, the month of sheepskins and final cokes at Shannon ' s, took from our ranks nineteen of our finest girls. Our reluctance to part with them was offset by th eir promises to come to the house party, and to return for manv visits in the fall. Left pictiir right: left to Barksdale. JIallory, BriimSeld.

Theta Sigma Upsilon AFTER three months ' separa- tion, except for one glorious week at Burwell ' s Bay, which was the scene of our summer house party, we began another year of work and play together with Virginia as our able leader. December fifth marked the beginning of important events. Mrs. Frehsee, our national president, arrived for a three-days ' visit. It was Xational Inspection, and we were eager to prove ourselves good Theta Sigs. Then followed a round of social activity. Fri- day night we held a lovely banquet at Long-wood in honor of Mrs. Frehsee and our fall pledges : Mary Charlotte Jones, Mary Anna Mottley, and Kathleen Jones. Saturday afternoon we entertained at a tea in the lovely new Senior Lounge with Miss Mary pour- ing. Sunday morning our chapter room was the scene of an appetizing breakfast. Our gala week-end ended with a goodbye to Mrs. Frehsee, who left on the one o ' clock train after an all too short visit. We started the new year with renewed vigor. Rush- ing was a gTand success, bringing us La Reine Thorn- ton, Beatrice and Catherine Dunton, JSTultie Johns, Rosemary Elam, and Jane Smith. March first. Miss Draper entertained us at a delightful tea in her apartment — a perfect prelude to the Panhellenic dance. Our members for the year are : Virginia Howell, Forrestine Whitaker, Martha Anne Saunders, Har- riet Haskins, Mary Marshall Prosise, Josa Carlton, Rosa Courter, Carol Averitt, Elizabeth Jennings, Mildred Bowen, Ruth Fraughnaugh, Anne Price, Emma Frances Elam, Mary Anna Mottley, and Mary Charlotte Jones. Our pledges include Kathleen Jones, Catherine Dunton, Beat- rice Dunton, Rosemary Elam, June Smith, La Reine Thornton, and Nultie ' Johns.

We decided right then to have a little party and let everyone hear what everyone else had done all summer. We all realized that Martha Frances had just gotten back from a glorious trip to New York, but from those hasty cards she wrote to us, we couldn ' t get all the minute details. From jSTew York the conversation drifted or rolled, I should say, to the house party. Our pledges are Anne Pharis, Ruth Hillsman, Lee Foster, Lorraine Hurst, Lu- cille Cheatham, and Catherine May. Sue Marshall served as president this ! year ; Martha Frances Cobb, vice-presi- dent ; Nahrea Coleman, secretary ; Sara Seward, treasiirer ; Julia Hutchinson, corresponding secretary. Membership this year included Jane Lee Sink, ilarjorie Holt, Ann Lyons, Estelle Smith, and Ann Marshall. Miss Willie London is our adviser.

Basketball FEBRUARY S initiated the season proper when our varsity met the Kadford team in our first game. The score was 33 to 10 for us. Then on Feb- ruary 13 our team tripped off to Ifew York, stop- ping long enough in Baltimore, Maryland, to take a 47-16 victory from Catonsville. At Hempstead, Long Island, Hofstra was put down when we scored 38 to their 11 points. Besides basketball, there were: a visit to Radio City, tea at Pat ' s, a peep at Glenn Miller in person, and some shopping too. Marjorie Gooden and her assistant, Virginia Hill, have b een kept busy scheduling games, engaging ref- erees, and looking after the visiting teams. Miss Olive T. Her has been our ideal coach and leader in good sportsmanship, and Rosa Courter has efficiently cap- tained our varsity squad. The sub-varsity this year included Patsy Connelly, Lucille Cox, Mildred Droste, Dorothy Gaul, Vivian Gwaltney, Virginia Hill, Faye Nimmo, Dotty Sue Simmons, and June Smith.

Right picture: Polly Hughes. a Rhapsody! Mardi Gras AND it was a rhapsody, with its color and festive air, its brilliance and gaiety, its lovely senoritas rivaling those of old Spain. It was a gala night of nights, that traditional Shrove Tuesday, which fell this year on February twenty-fifth. The dance was sponsored by Pi Gamma Mu, hon- orary fraternity in history and social science. Dorothy Rollins was general chairman; Yates Carr was busi- ness manager, and Martha Whelchel was in charge of the floor show. Elsye Berrye Yates made a lovely q ieen and reigned with poise and gTace over the gay crowd. The queen, crowned by her escort, Raymond Yates, was attended by the following lovely girls and their dates: K ancy Pierpont, Walter Sprye; Louise Painter, Billy Spong; Nancy Wolfe, Thomas Gra- ham ; Betty Fahr, Joe Geyer ; Mary Lou Shannon, Henry Scholtz ; Cottie Radspinner, Jim Peden ; May Wertz, Billy Trinkle ; and Nancy Naff, Billy Austin. The costumes of the court and the queen were excep- tionally beautiful. Sixteenth century court styles wei ' e selected, the queen ' s in gold and white, and the members of the court in pastel shades. After the coronation, the queen and her court of Spanish beauties were entertained by Senorita Jean Weller, who sang Temptation. Polly Hughes pre- sented to her majesty The Missing Key, and the Mardi Gras singers — Louisa Sanford, Peggy Bellus, Jean Moyer, and Mary Jane Ritchie — sang A Toast to the Queen. This song was written especially for the occasion by Bootsie Messick. Sara Cline made an excellent Mistress of Ceremonies. The Grand March, led by Pages Jean and Fiddle Haymes, was a confusion of doctors, nurses, cheer- leaders, football players, etc. Trudy Hale in her Gay Nineties apparel took the camera offered as first prize for the most original costume. Raggedy Ann and Andy were the most attractive, and Bess Wind- ham, the prettiest, in her dress straight from Gone With the Wind. We danced . . . the Southern Serenaders played . . . and Mardi Gras was counted among the best dances of the year. A Grace of Movement Orchesis NATUEALLY fall of the year means a beginning, and ours was essentially that this year, since we began without Essie, whose dance talent had been an asset to the Club for three years, and Mrs. Fitz, who ' d advised and taught us. Miss Emily Kauzlarich came as new adviser, and after the getting-acquainted period, we were initiated into new methods of com- position and interpretation, and grew to enjoy the sensation of creating dances, of experimenting with movement. We enlarged the club membership in October, vot- ing upon Ann Covington, Mary Hunter Edmunds, and Jerry Smith as new members. One night they were entertained in the Senior Kec, where we ate doughnuts and drank cocoa, and planned, partially, the programs for this year. January and February were busy months with Founders ' Day recital and May Day in prospect. We liked the gay Mountain Tune and the atmosphere of suspense in Prairie Song. There were sore feet sometimes, but we survived, even to working out the troublesome street cries and short negTo studies. This took a great deal of imagination and ingenuity. Mary Sue Edmonson, Eleanor Messick, Betty Sexton, and Harriett Walker were selected as apprentices to assist in the programs. After the Founders ' Day progTam, which was a credit to Miss Kauzlarich ' s ability and initiative, as well as to our efforts, we undertook May Day with its new theme of American gi ' owth. The timeliness of it was foreseen ; in the place of the traditional English May Day and a pretty coiirt affair, we en- visioned a living pageant of America — America the abstract and America the real, with its polyglot population and varied cultures. IMondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays meant afternoons of planning and working, as we learned new move- ments for the opening dance, decided on folk dances, and began to teach them to the larger groups. Then came mass rehearsals, long practices at Loug vood on spring afternoons, always the delightful part of May Day — and finally a successful pageant, colorful Court of ISTations, and a May Queen sjmibolizing the Spirit of America. Mary Elizabeth Petticrew was jwesident this year ; Ethel Carr, secretary - treasurer ; Madge McFall, chairman of costuming, and ] Iay Wertz, accompanist. The members were Ann Bradshaw, Anne Covington, Mary Hunter Edmunds, Patsy Fletcher, Jane Lee Hutcheson, Helen McTlwaine, K ancy Pierpont, Louisa Sanford, Jeanne Sears, and Jeraldine Smith.

Sen; We Do . . . Home Economics Club OUR chief aim is to acquaint Home Ec. majors with one another and to develop the tield of Home Economics on our campus and in the world. The officers of the club for this year were Sarah Sibold, president ; Anne Cocks, vice-president ; ISTan Duer, secretary ; and Elizabeth Rapp, reporter. At Christmas time we gave a special program with Miss Bedford as speaker on the subject Gift Wrap- pings and Decorations. It was highly edifying, and our presents this year were beautiful to behold. In February the Puerto Rican girls gave us a Valentine Party and showed lis a display of their handwork. The lovely embroidery, laces, and tatting that they had done simply took our breath away and made us all envious that we couldn ' t do the same. It seems we ' re always giving parties, but it ' s so much fun that we give one at the slightest provocation. The new students here at school who had decided to major in Home Economics were entertained at an informal party. Everyone loosened up and gave her frank opinions on the merits and drawbacks of the Home Ec. course. It was a grand party. This year we have twenty-seven new members, who were initiated by candlelight in a lovely sei vice. We believe that with a war imminent, and in a country preparing for war, home economics has many pos- sibilities for benefit. Let ' s Play! Archery and Tennis IF last fall you chanced to be at Lougwood on Mon- day and Wednesday afternoons, you were probably amazed at seeing arrows darting through the air. Upon further investigation, you found that Robin Hood and his merry band were practicing for the tournament that was to end the aiitumn season of archery. The merry archer always rode gallantly out to the green on the truck, singing happily. After an hour at the bull ' s-eye we celebrated our improvements in skill with feasts at the Long- vood Tea Eoom. Finally the long-awaited day, December fifth, ar- rived, and the tournament took place ! Robin Hood proved to be ISTell Hurt, who placed first with a score of one hundred and eighty-five. Buff Gunter was sec- ond, scoring one hundred and sixty-two points, and Alice Britt took third place with one hiindred and sixty-one points. Sixteen girls are included in our Robin Hood band. They are: Nell Hurt, manager of archery; Alice Britt, assistant manager; Catherine Acree, Jean Ar- ring-ton, Ann Berry, Gay Ward Brown, Betty Bridg- forth, Jane Engleby, ISTancy Dupuy, Trma Graff, Buff Gunter, Sara Jeffries, Kathryn Tancaster, ISTancy Waff, Betty Peerman, and JMary Katherine Zehmer. Warm weather brought us out for tennis. From an early game at 6 a. m. to a late game at fi p. m. balls whizzed hard and fast over the net. All of us were on our toes to lob that ball just off our opponent ' s racquet. Those warm days last fall were ideal for touching up that serve, and many afternoons found Left to right: Peerman, Turner Boutchard Spiily Purdum and iietsy Je nnings out shaping up their serves for the fall matches. This spring we all got keyed up again on our new asphalt courts. We were so proud of them ! Plans were made for a varsity team, and we climaxed our spring tenuis with several intercollegiate games. Left to right: Purdum, Jlcllwaine Ground, Sticks!!! Hockey A WHISTLE from the referee and a bully between the center forwards ! We were in for a good 23ractice. Tuesday and Thursday afternoons found us engaged in quite hot combats. The freshmen, many of them new at the game, soon got into the swing of things and learned to pick iip jjasses out to the wing and carry the ball down the field with the speed of lightning. Then a pass back to center and — bang ! a goal ! We soon came upon that ISTovember day when Color Rush was proclaimed. Still tense to the toes from the races in the buildings, we milled our way to the athletic field, where the inter-class hockey games were getting under way. That afternoon balls traveled wildly from spot to spot and seemed to cover the field completely. Yells and much cheering from the crowded sidelines inspired each Left to right: Nimmo, Hillsmaii.

We didn ' t miss a trick of the struggle betweeu the seniors and juniors, the latter finally emerging victorious with a score of 3 to 1. The freshman-sophomore battle was really the trump of the day. Through clever pass work, unde- featable cooperation and an iron will to win, the freshman downed the sophomores 3 to 1. Shrieks and cheers rang all over campus as the victorious freshmen undonned their rat caps. The Thanksgiving holidays gave us an opportunity to catch our breath for more yells, and soon we were using them at the games between the sister classes. The freshmen continued their winning and defeated the juniors by one point. The seniors scored a victory of 4 to 2 over the sophomores. To complete the round robin tournament, the last games were played on December 2. The seniors and juniors were the victors over the freshmen and sophomores, both scores being 1 to 0. To sum up the color cup points, Red-and- White came out twenty points ahead. The senior team was captained by Helen Mcll- waine, and Crews Bordon ; Rosa Courter, Jack Cock, Mary Sue Edmonson, Pat Gibson, !Marjorie Gooden, Anna Johnson, Florence Lee, Mary Elizabeth Petti- crew, Virginia Sydnor, and Margaret Webster made up the squad. Spilly Purdum was captain of the junior team, and Hallie Hillsman was the sophomore captain. The freshmau team, led by Lee Foster, boasted the biggest squad. Harriet Walker was man- ager of hockey this year, and Ellen Ebel was her assistant. Miss Her was our adviser and coach. It was with regret that we put aside our hockey sticks.

THE activities of Pi Gamma Mu, honor society in Social Science, have been many and varied, both on the campus and at conventions. Of course when we remember the latter, we can ' t help viewing it from a standpoint of work and play. The regional meet was held in ISTovember at the University of Virginia, and we sent Thelma Courtney, Marian Heard, Mar- tha Whelchel, Marie Allen, Anna Johnson, Frances Keck, and Dorothy Eollins. The round table dis- cussions centered about Pan-Americanism, and our interest in it as a sigTiificaut feature of foreign policy greatly strengthened. The delegates came back with other reports as well — the elevator at the Chamber- layne, the long corridors, dinners at the Commons — even rumors of the Conga being danced in the Post Office there. The open forum question in December was the probable outcome of the Presidential election, led by Patricia Gibson and Marjorie Holt. The partiality of some views caused the republicans in our midst to rise to defend their beliefs. Informal discussion and social meeting followed, and we entertained faculty and friends . . . complete harmony after an instruc- tive airing of policies and ideas. Then, to lighter things, we sponsored Mardi Gras, February 25, and crowned Elsie Berrye Yates queen. The convention spirit moved us again, and Anne Ayres and Thelma Courtney went to Tallahassee, Florida, to the National Convention on Yorld Prob- lems and Pan-Americanism on February 28. We laughed at their description of their daily commuting to the meeting. Dr. Simpkins joined us again in April when race relations was the pertinent question — and guided our thinking here. Then we were pure- ly social for awhile, with a banquet in the tearoom, celebrating Founders ' Day, and a National officer present. Finally there was a picnic at Longwood, and we forgot elections and policies. Officers this year were Marian Heard, president; Thelma Courtney, vice-president ; Louise Hall, secre- tary ; Ethel Carr, treasurer. Mr. Holton was faculty adviser, with Miss l ichols and Mr. Coyner as associ- ate faculty members. We m.aintained the following committees : executive, on which were Marion Heard, Dorothy Kollins, Louise Hall, and Ethel Carr; the progTam: chairman, Thelma Courtney; project: Mary Jane Jolliffe, Marie Allen ; social : Marjorie Holt ; Mardi Gras : Dot Rollins, Yates Carr, Patricia Gibson, and Elizabeth West ; Scrapbook : Carmen Booth ; membership : Mr. Holton. The following were active members : Ethel Carr, Marian Heard, Marjorie Holt, Euth Lea Purdimi, Carmen Booth, Yates Carr, Thelma Courtney, Louise Hall, Mary Jane Jollitfe, Dorothy Rollins, Elizabeth West, Martha Whelchel, Marie Allen, Anne Ayers, Vera Baron, Sally Duulap, Bliss Fowlkes, Elizabeth Garrett, Anna Johnson, Frances Keck, Elva !Mae Kibler, Betty Peerman, Hester Chattin, Katherine Jarrett, Elizabeth Ann Parker, Agnes Pickeral, ilary Lilly Purdum, Evelyn Quillin, Dorothy Robbins, Lucy Turnbull, Euth Lea Purdum, and Patricia Whitlock. On Ml) Mother ' s Side Granddaughters Club T HEARD your mother came to Farmville ! Well, J- mine did too. Maybe they were here the same year — just think! If we answered yes to this breathless question, immediately we felt as if we had something in common. We began to compare the dates of their graduations and their maiden names. Then we vowed we would write to our respective mothers to see if they knew each other. We realized that both of us could become members of the Grand- daughters Club, and in becoming members, we could meet lots and lots of girls whose mothers also attended Farmville. On Foiinders ' Day we gave our usual tea for the alumnae. This day was a day packed and jammed with bustling activity and rushing people. Everyone was just so busy doing everything from trotting down to Shannon ' s every hour in the day to greeting hun- dreds and hundreds of old graduates. Besides giving the tea we contributed to the Jennie Masters Tabb Loan Fund and helped in the Alumnae office throughout the year. Our officers were Nancy Fulton, president ; Car- olyn Harvey, vice-president ; Ag-nes Patterson, secre- tary ; Polly Keller, treasurer ; Helen Wiley Hardy, reporter. Our faculty adviser was Mrs. Martin. Left to right: Harvey, Patterson, Keller, Fulton. Painter, ilcllwaine, Courter, EUett, Heard. CHI TO cooperate with the governing bodies of the school has ever been the aim of Chi. In the selection of girls for its exclusive membership integi-ity, sound- ness of judgment, influence in various circles, a representation of spirit which is iiniquely Farmville are uppermost. This year the perpetuation of its group has become more secure than ever through the realization of its ideals and the clever and efficient performance of those tasks which render the bettering of standards, both of the individual and of gi ' oups. Xot even the snow, sleet and zero temperature which ushered in another Founder ' s Day deterred the hanging of the banner in its accustomed place. The three lone letters beneath the startling symbol gTceted shivering students who came to Shannons for breakfast. In spite of the insatiable curiosity and im- moderate envy of many outsiders, meetings were held in utmost secrecy and in most improbable places. The year has witnessed many eventful happenings — many serious, some hu- morous — all serving to bring students into a closer relationship. The members of Chi have gone about their work in appropriate secrecy ; improved situations, increased understanding are the result, open for the student body to notice and respect. Pencils Poised in The Commercial Club ANY morning, afternoon, or night you might have heard a steady tap, tap, tap — tap, tap, tap — and wondered what went on with such earnest purpose. Should you have opened a door on the first floor close hy the geography department, you would have seen us energetically pursuing our courses even after class time. On November 1, 1939, we met together to plan a club for the commercial girls in order to stimulate an interest in the field of business, to get informa- tion and understanding of the business world, and to have an opportunity of knowing each other. In December of this year we invited about seventy- five freshmen and new girls in the commercial de- partment to the Student Lounge for a period of orien- tation and refreshments. After our president, Ethel Beasley, opened the lueeting, PJetsy Jennings gave a history of the club ' s activities and purposes. Then we had a skit and an original song. The meeting ad- journed after refreshments were served. We all agreed that Betty Harper made an excellent chairman for an interesting, entertaining program. Many of the freshmen aud new girls decided to accept invita- tions to join. We try to study everything outstanding in the busi- ness field, such as advertising, merchandising, Fed- eral Income Tax accounting, insurance, etc. Thus we get awav from that old idea that commercial students have not much work or much prei aration. Our fa- vorite cry is, So much to do, so little time. We took another big stride forward this year when we decided to publish a paper. The Stenographer, for those in the Commercial Department and to let the other departments know the imjDrovements, the aims, the scope, and the values of our Commercial Club on the campus. Don ' t be surprised just anytime if you see one of us dashing around with Newspaper Makeup (for those with a journalistic bent). What Makes People Buy, Why Sales-men Get Fired, or even a psychology book ! Our juniors and seniors can quote (and under- stand) many facts and information from the business magazines they take ! We were also interested in visual aids in business education, in offering more courses at summer school, and in condircting commercial classes at Farmville High School. In spite of all the work, we found ample time this year to have social progxams and especially enjoyed the annual picnic in May. Our honorary members this year included Miss Hiner, Miss Bugg, Mrs. Watkins, and Mr. Graham. Our advisers were Mrs. Wynne, Miss Craddock, and Mr. Landrum. Our officers were Ethel Beasley, Betsy Jennings, Marie Thompson, and Kathryn Haw- thorne. IV ill You Meet My Date? The Cotillion Club WHAT would a dance be without that question, and what would S. T. C. be without the Cotil- lion Club ? On dance week-ends the best beaux are here, the smoothest orchestra, the prettiest dresses. ISTo one should miss so much excitement and so much fim. Boonie Stevenson presided over the monthly meet- ings in the small aiiditorium. Mr. Coyner, our new adviser, kept our feet always on a firm foundation with his sound advice. jSTancy Pierpont was leader; Faye Brandon, business manager; and Louise Pain- ter, secretary and treasurer. Our membership rose this year to three himdred. Fall Cotillion was held on November ninth this year, and Jimmy Cannon played in his smooth style for our dancing. The decorations were charmingly gay; with college pennants and insig-nias of every school. We liked the festive fall theme. It was always fun to threaten the new members ; they blanched white every time we mentioned goat week. Funny how no one wants to be a goat. But, like all things, it was inevitable, and soon those three fatal days in April rolled around and the fun began. You can rest assured we made the most of our oppor- tunities and laughed unmercifully at the ugly duck- lings in their unbearable clothes, new and definitely queer coiffures, and foolish accessories. It ' s fun to torture and not be tortured in return. In March, after meetings and decisions delayed beyond our anticipation , the spring dance date was set April nineteenth. Last year at Spring Cotillion, we visited Hawaii ; this year we all fell in love immediately with the novel decorations that made the gymnasium look like something out of a dream. They were certainly representative of the ability and talent of the Gamma Psi girls. The music was won- derful ! We all took part in the figure, which was well planned and executed. Our dates, as usual, added that certain dash. The tea dance that after- noon, held eai-lier this year, was just what we needed to get in the mood. That night when the last note was played, and the echo of it all had died, when good-byes had been said, the memory lingered with us of another grand cotil- lion dance. Left to right: Painter, Steven- son, Mr. Coyner, Brandon, Pierpont. 9 m mgm,M ■ The Old Gives Way lo the New . . . Major Officers ELECTION time is excitement time on the campus, and we nominated, speculated, and voted with the visual alternate excitement and elation until final results were announced. New heads of publications were apjaointed; new major officers elected, to replace those who filled the offices for 1940-41. You who managed our organizations and our major activities have felt the significance of your office and have made your year an active one — a response to challenge. The head table was alive with conver- sation concerning the trials and joys of each — Martha with her announcement problems, and Caralie, the much-in-demaud ; there were never any dull moments where the versatile heads convened. We have talked about your work and the dignity of your position. Let us remember you also as indi- viduals who have increased our enjoyment of a year at Farmville. Pat was forever going on a new diet, each more rigorous than the one before, and voicing an occasional, and sagacious, comment about the harangaie of table chatter about school. Caralie rescued those who fell prey to the microphone ' s moods ; we knew her characteristic stride meant biisi- ness, and loved her for her sincerity and the fairness iVl l eft to light: Klk ' tt, Xelsoii, Overbev, iluyer. Gibson, Cuurter, Wertz. of her reasoning, no matter what the issue. The Colommde was edited by AUene Overbey, who spent her days between the publication office and the Herald; we heard of Harry and his assistants, cover pictures, ads, and proofing from her and Pat. Rosa was everything one could wish in an athlete, and an admirable head of the A. A. We well remem- ber one basketball game at which someone in the audience inspired additional impetus to her game. The Y. W. C. A. had for its head Jean Moyer, whose innate kindliness made her service and leadership the more effective. May Wertz edited the Vieginian and spent busy meal times making the rounds of the staff; we remember her putting out the Annual almost daily. You are eight seniors and two juniors — who have been the mainstay of the major organizations for a year, who have made a gift in time and energy to the student body, and who have kept uppeiiuost in your minds your responsibilities to ns. Every year we see the gradual improvement of each activity, and so we look to next year and those who are to lead us as you have done, by the strength of their personality and abilities. Left to rigid: Avers, Overliey. C ' liiie, Engleliy. .Tolinson. Rose- bro, Naff. Serve Your Felloiv Man . . . Baptist Student Union HAVE you ever seen oue of those little reversible pink Busy signs that say on the back, Come in and read the ' Baptist Student ' , ' ' or received a get- well card with a personal touch to it when you were in the infirmary ? Then you probably know some- thing of the significance of the Baptist Student Union on our campus. Our Baptist Student Union is one of the many local organizations by that name on col- lege and university campuses all over the world, seek- ing to enlist students in church membership in Chris- tian service, in the kingdom of God. It serves as the connecting link between the college campus and the local Baptist church. September came, and October, and both were filled with distracted preparation for the state convention held at Farmville, November 1-3. Homes in town, room s in school, the banquet, registration — these were the things that occupied our minds in those last busy days. And oh ! the play ! Even the most inartistic of us helped to paint scenery in the church kitchen, and felt the warmth of the inspiration in our hearts. The Sunday morning before the Thanksgiving holi- days, B. S. U. sponsored a Sunrise Thanksgiving Service at Longwood. The morning was clear, but cold ; however, there was hot cocoa in the rec to make us feel warm and comfortable before we left. Any student who wished to come could attend the Friendship Circle held each Tuesday night. Our de- votional chairman, Grey Walden, was responsible for the planning of these very informal discussions. We were helped to ciTltivate three - fold friendships through those meetings as we discussed questions such as What is liaving God? and What are Idle Words ? Frances Pludgins, who had already served as De- votional chairman the preceding year, was elected president. Her council was composed of Enlistment chairman, Frances Owen; Social chairman, Ellen Hudgins ; Devotional director. Grey Walden ; secre- tary, Jean Martin ; treasurer, Eleanor Boothe ; report- ers, Carolyn Rouse and Euby Conner ; Sunday school president, Hazeltine Wright; B. Y. P. U. president, Texie Belle Felts; and ex-ofiicio, Caralie Nelson. Left to right, first roio: E. Hudgins Conner Wright F. Hudgins Rouse Felts Moore Nelson Second row: Boothe Walden Fowlkes went SO far as to forget to attend meals so engrossed were we in the work. We can still close our eyes and see Hazeltine as Esther, Carolyn as the princely Hegai, and Caralie as Esther ' s cousin, Mordecai. Such transformation ! The theme of the convention was Conquer with Christ, and we heard some splendid messages on that subject. Even when the convention was over, we still We ' d like to give recognition to Hattie Moore, who was our enlistment chairman until illness forced her to resign. Needless to say, our pastor. Reverend H. Lee Scott, was always ready to lend a helping hand in any situation. Without him we could have accom- plished little. Whatever may be the fruits of our labors, we shall still remain unsatisfied. How vast seems the field of service! Across the Water . . . The Northern Neck Club HOME, sweet home to all of us is that strip of land between the muddy Kappahannock and the broad, blue Potomac, known as the Northern N eck. Of all the places we know, there is none other quite so dear to us. On October 14, 1938, a group of girls who hailed from there, organized the Northern Neck Club. The club is growing because since we ' ve been organized, more Northern Neck girls have come to Farmville. Not only is this our aim, but it seems to be Mr. French ' s too. If you should ever pass through his home town in the Northern Neck, you ' d probably see him standing on some street corner with a broad •smile on bis face talking S. T.

Our club is purely a social one, and we admit that we do have gorgeous times together. With Mr. French as our adviser we can always be sure that we ' ll have fun at the various parties we have. For instance, we ' ll never forget the wonderful oyster roast held at Mr. Graham ' s, where we roasted oysters over a hot, open fireplace. If some of us hadn ' t been so homesick at the sight of oysters, the party would have been too perfect for words. We were excited this year because we decided to get pins. We had never thought of this before, and now that we have them, we feel that our club has really become a part of the school. It ' s true that the some prospective student ! We have our meetings once a month, and at this time we discuss parties and such things that we have frequently during the year. Each spring officers are elected by the members. Serving as president this year was our capable Jo Ware. Assisting her as vice-president was Annie Leigh Coates. Our secre- tary was Ann Burgwyn, and our treasurer, Elizabeth Bellows. Members this year included Elizabeth Bellows, Antoinette Dew, Loiiise Palmer, Gladys Gardy, lary Ellen Dawson, Arnelle Booth, Betty Robertson, Katherine Edwards, Katherine Acree, Mary Nancy Marsh, Annie Leigh Coates, Louise Rice. Frances Latane, Bonnie Gouldman, Elizabeth Warner, Jo Ware, Ann Burg-wyn, and Mrs. T. M. Brooks. Let ' s Co to Press! Rotunda PUTTIIS G out the Botunda is an all-week job. It runs from pictures on Thursday to press on the next Wednesday. Tuesdays with make-up and proof reading prove the most hectic days. But it ' s not all work; it is much too interesting- for that. We may storm and worry about deadlines and strive to keep a scoop from becoming unscooped ; yet each Aveek we record four pages of our life at Farmville. Last year our staff iinderwent a complete meta- morphosis. An editor-in-chief, a business manager, and a managing editor took the places of the editor and the business manager. The reporting and busi- ness staffs were cut in half. An attempt was made to place sophomores and juniors in responsible positions as associate editors and associate business managers. Jack Cock and Marie Allen handled our Glean- ing ' S column this year in fine style, while Shirley Pierce and Faye jSFimmo, newcomers, did Sport Slants. Several new departments, including The Question of the Week, were added to the editorial page under Sara Cline ' s direction. Margaret Wright and Elizabeth West, news editor and managing editor respectively, had their hands full with last-minute news-flashes and general roimdiip of materials, ilany were the days when they ran between the publication office and the HeraM oflice (time: five seconds flat) tearing their hair and bewailing the loss of an im- portant story. Then there was Mickey Beck, appro- priately in charge of sports, while Gerry Ackiss got out the socials.

Too, she haunted Pritch, our chief typist, whenever there were articles to be typed. Pat Gibson, editor-in-chief, with Josa and Libby, attended the ISTational Collegiate Press convention held in Detroit, Michigan, in Xovember. Like true newspaper women they had a nose for news, and from all reports had an extremely profitable trip, pro- fessionally and socially. As luck would have it, the Virginia Intercollegiate Press convention fell at the same time as the N ational convention. So Margaret Yright and Lillian German were our official dele- gates to the Blacksburg state meet. Of no less importance was Mr. Holton, our ad- viser, with his indispensable advice and keen sense of humor. When we add his stories to the priceless bull sessions often held at the Farmville Herald shop, gone are the trials and tribulations of late pictures and set-page editions. All in all, it has been a great vcar doing the most fascinatin - of work. Top picture, left to right: ilr. Holton, Carlton, West. Lower picture, first row. left to right: Cline, Dodson, German.

The seniors were trying to graduate, and we, the staff of the Colonnade, were trying to put out the Senior Issue. It was really a race depending on who got out first — the class or the magazine. We re- Allene Overbet member well Mary Mahone ' s delightful story, Drew ' s Children. Mary had such a knack for getting things said. It was in that issue, too, that Lula Windham retorted ' ' Back at You in reply to the Hampden- Sydney Kappa Alpha ' s Candidates for the Firing Squad, and ] Iarie Easou, our Student Body Presi- dent, recorded Things I Shall Eeniember. The Senior Issue ' s cover picture gave us all a bad case of nerves. It was the first time we had experi- mented with photography in the raw. The gTeatest catastrophe occurred the morning we tried to get wil- low branches for the floral arrangement — the things proved elastic and threw us hoi nding into the creek below. We returned in the fall with high hopes and much enthusiasm. The short-story contest which had begim in June and had run through the summer months brought splendid response, and we were able to pub- lish such prize winning stories as Wood Magic by Margie Kice and Thurty Cents, a true story of a Georgia negro, written by Mary Hunter Edmunds. Bess Windham and Cottie Radspinner created a new middle page arrangement, The Skylark, and Sara Cline gave added color to the Book Review section by introducing current reviews. It was in the fall, too, that we experienced the joy of a private office. Dr. Jarman granted us the use of an office in the new Library, and we felt a surge of ])ride as we dragged the boxes of material from under our beds and put them on permanent file. During the month of November, we sponsored a poetry contest, managed by Frances Tludgins of the staff. We were again pleased with the resjaonse from many of our Student Body. Edith Nunnally took first place with her unusual poem, Arkansas Flats. Lula Power ' s Left to right: G«orge, West, Winn, Ellett, Carr Top picture, left to right: Mr. Grainger Windham C ' antrell Hudgins Haymes Jolliffe Bottom picture, left to right: Pritchett Hughes Cline Radspinner His Presence rated second, and Carolyn Eouse captured third place honors with her poem on Win- ter. The Colonnade was represented by four of the staff at the annual Virginia Inter-collegiate Press Association held at Blacksburg in jSTovember. The four issues of last year ' s magazine were entered in the contest, and our publication was awarded second place among the literary magazines of the state. But we accomplished more than that. The Hampden- Sydney publications, together with all the jrablica- tions on our campus, invited the Association to hold its convention here in 1941 and were accepted as hosts. The most outstanding feature of the January C ' olonnmle was its frontispiece, an addition to the magazine. The picture was of the Equestrian Statue of Joan of Arc, the Patron Saint of Farmville. It was in the January Issue, too, that Dr. Walmsley gave us a rather thought-provoking definition of de- mocracy during a time in which we seemed to need it most. Allene Overbey sei ' ved as editor of our Colonnade this year. Assisting as literary editors were Mary Jane Jolliffe, Harriet Cantrell, and Jeanne Hajones. Bess Windham, Prances Hudgins, and Anne C. Williams were poetry editors. Reviews were handled by Sara Cline, and Prattles -were by Frances Pritch- ett. Catherine Radspinner, Peggy Hughes, Elizabeth Ann Parker, Doro thy Rollins, and Elizabeth Tennent were art editors. Yates Carr was our business man- ager. She was assisted by Mary Owens West, May Winn, Anne Ellett, and Mary Katherine Ingham. Anna George was our typist. Serving on the Ad- visory Board were Mr. J. M. Grainger, chairman ; Miss Jennings, Miss Taliaferro, Miss Craddock, Miss Booton, Mr. Coyner, and Dr. Simpkins. Among the interesting articles that appeared in our final issue in March was Ernestine Meacham ' s dissertation on Life modeled after the style of Ger- trude Stein. Ernestine has been a faithf il contributer to the Colonnade. Also in that issire were two articles commemorating Miss Rice ' s fiftieth anniversary of teaching. The work this year has been pleasant. We are grateful to Mr. Grainger and Miss Jennings for their invaluable aid, and to ilr. Wall and Mr. Lancaster of the Herald oflice for their patient understanding. Our satisfaction and pride at each new issue have been justifiable, for Ave believe the magazine to be representative of the best of Farmville ' s talent and creative ability. From the Forest, the Rivers, the Plains Qn ay a nation has been molded ; the influence of each was portrayed by the ricli folk dance of the nationality. The Court of Nations came forward to climax the interpretation of the land — a striking spectacle, and after their pi ' ocession came the Spirit of the Land, portrayed by Nancy Pierpont, with Nancy Wolfe as her maid of honor. FEOM the enigma of today, the uncertainty of to- morrow, the tragedy of European conflict, and the crisis of American policy and belief evolved our con- ception of a May Day pageant for the spring of 1941. We shall remember this year as an important and critical one, a time in which to heed the world hap- penings and take stock of ourselves ; and, in light of the momentousness of the present, the usual May Day, the traditional May Pole, the court procession, seem meaningless. We bent our energies and am- bitions and talents to the portrayal of America as we know her today, the abstract as influenced by the real, that we might intensify our patriotism and renew our belief in the gTeatness of our nation. Mary Elizabeth Petticrew acted as general chair- man of May Day, and the following committees worked under her direction : Madge McFall, dance ; Pat Gibson, theme ; May Wertz, music ; Nan Duer and Dorothy Lawrence, costuming; Jane Engleby, properties ; Marjorie Gooden, business manager ; Sara Hall, transportation. Miss Emily Kauzlarich, of the Physical Education Department, was in charge, with Miss Wheeler and Miss Her assisting her. An impressive prelude w as the opening dance, a stately Passacaille which symbolized the virile strength and youth of the country. Then the abstraction of the land and the geography of her resources were in- terpreted in four movements — Forests, Rivers, Plains, Mountains, with a constant return to the theme. These great potentialities were invaded by eager Europeans — the hungry, the oppressed, the adven- ture-loving.

Mary Katherine Dodson was back to resume her presidency, and with her Martha Roberts as vice-president, jSTanc Dupuy as secretai-y, and Jane Engleby as treasurer. The fall was an eventful one. Red-and- White were victorious in the color rush, and Zeke Zippers formed a colorful 42 on the hockey field before the game. As soon as you came back from Thanksgiving holidays, you began to work on the production, Out of i owhere.

In February came your turn to give Sing, and you presented A ISTight- mare at the Opery, or They Should Have Saved Coupons, A Great Meller- drammer. At Senior Chapel you wore white and passed through the arch of senior caps to become, officially, the seniors of 1942.

You re- member, don ' t you, all that business of registering, matriculating, finding rooms which at first were only numbers, but soon became very important ones ? For then life to us was a series of numbers : mailbox, table in the dining hall, locker, number after number for classes and class rooms. Xaturallj ' we were confused ! It was told that one of us actually began unpacking her bags in Mr. Coyner ' s Room 26. Luckily someone came to her rescue before psychology class the next day. That first student-body meeting was a great event for us, for through the introduction of the major of- ficers, we were able to distingiiish a few more faces and begin to feel a part of this huge school. Along with this came the election of Ruth Lea Purdum as president of our class. Esther Atkinson was our vice- president ; Billie Lewis, secretary, and Betty Fahr, our treasurer. Mr. French consented to be our class- man, and we were launched on our way. Rat week first. Shall we ever forget those three days of rubber gloves, plaited hair, frequent trips to bended knees to repeat, Oh, Sophomores, with your sacrosanct, salient, sententious sensibleness — or Mary Page ' s Big Rat Court ! We found among other things, that Jamie Lee Peake had a wonderfully deep voice ; the Cock Twins knew millions of crazy tricks ; we were comparatively safe from a sophomoric blitz- kreig as long as we sat quietly (?) in our closets during free hours. After it was all over, we laughed and said, Gosh, it was fun! Then suddenly we were taking exams, and Christmas was here with Mr. French ' s party in the Rec, complete with toys and everything. We combined our talents for our first production, The Three Little Pigs, which Emily Hoskins di- rected. Remember Hoppy as the Mad Hatter? But we had talents along other lines also, especially in Saturday night round-ups. How to Win Your Man and Hold Him read by Dot Perkins to that eagerly attentive third-floor White House audience was a winning ticket. Second place goes to the gTeat trial of White House conducted by Cock, Garrett, and Cock over the case of the sewed sheets. Poor Alma ' s conviction was the tragedy of the hall. In athletics Seniors form daisy chain we were top-notch basketball players, and, with the Juniors, captured the coveted color cup. Remembrances of those freshmen months are very dear : taking a short cut to the laundry via the fire- escape — those two days when classes were suspended on account of sickness — sitting on the back steps waiting for orders from the drugstore — tying the linen zigzag across the hall. With such memories we left Farmville for a summer of fun and frolic. Sophomore ! the word made us swell with import- ance! A different September, this. Our job was to greet new g-irls and be rays of sunshine to home- sick Rats. Wasn ' t it fun to run downtown at all hours just because we could go ? Later we concentrated our efforts on our circus stunt and came out valiantly, winning first place with the Roman Circus Maxims. Caralie directed the skit and once more rei resented us in the Queen ' s court. Our next original work was the production, which Chubby Heard directed. Paging Frannie, starring Virginia Howell, was the bill of fare at Ma Murphy ' s Boarding House. Cunningham Hall was our destination that third SeiDtember. For the first time we had a dorm all to ourselves. How we loved it ! Ruth Lea, Es, and Betty Beale remained our officers with Boonie Stevenson as our new secretary. We broke away from bull-sessions long enough to scout through the new library. Strangely enough, all those windows we thought the architects had misplaced in the spring fitted perfectly. We paused long enough in our ramblings to resolve wholeheartedly to make the Dean ' s List so that we ' d have more week-ends to spend in foreig-n parts. Early that fall Alpha Kappa Gamma recogTiized Caralie Xelson, Ruth Lee Purdum, and Liggie Ellett as members. We immediately headed into circus prac- tices. Florence Lee consented to direct the theme, and with A Circus in Miniature we wrested hon- orable mention from the judges. Another Christmas brought our annual party — this time in the Lounge. A huge, glittering tree, Jean at the piano playing carols, Mr. French ' s gift of twenty pounds of hard candy — all lent that super air to the occasion. What does the date January 24 bring to your mind ? Oh, you ' re right — the big snow and all of us snow-bound on the hill. Remember that Yankee, Pat Gibson, vowing twenty-nine inches of snow wasn ' t anything to get excited about, braving the deep to break a path for Charlie, and bringing breakfast over to us in boxes ? And after trenches were made, we all rushed downtown to buy riding pants and boots ! Elections had a special significance for us that spring, for our gilds became the major officers.

W. C. A. ; Liggie Ellett and Rosa Courter of the House Council and Athletic Associa- tion, respectively. Pat Gibson became editor-in-chief of The Rotunda with Libby West and Josa Carlton as assistants; The Colonnade chose Yates Carr as business manager. Student Standards looked to Martha Whelcliel for leadership, and the Dramatic Club to Boo Barham. Twice more Alpha Kappa Gamma found among us leaders — Jean Moyer, Pat Gibson, Rosa Courter, Boo Barham, Martha Whel- chel. Chubby Heard, Dotty Rollins, and Libby West. Senior Chapel, our tearful departure from the au- ditorium under that arch of academic caps, and our serenade to the Seniors that night brought us the realization that we were in the final round of our college life. At the head of the list this time with no one to look up to, we as Seniors accepted the challenge of the class of 1940 to carrj on in their footsteps, and with the same officers, set about our task. After Dr. Jarman officially installed us as Seniors, Friday be- came our Day of Dig-nity as we marched down the chapel aisle, carefully to keep our caps from taking a tumble. (Footnote on installation: that was the night the entire town was plunged into darkness, and we had to grope our way over to a Rotunda lighted by an old-fashioned lantern. ' Twas so confusing to Miss Taliaferro she mistook a flashlight for a candle and wasted several breaths trying to exting-uish that modern convenience. ) Circus time came once more, and Helen Mac, reigning as Queen, represented Miss America in the patriotic pageant. Senior Dance was another milestone in the direc- tion of June. Dotty ' s decorations of caps, diplomas, and A ' s on teaching (fond hope of every senior) laid a fitting Ijackground for the figaire lead liy Ruth Lop and Jack. Our honorary member, the Madame. returned to assist in the figure. G. W. T. W., translated into Gee, Whiz, Twicf Widowed by Painter as heroine Crimson Sahara and Gibson Girl Rhatt Butler, made our final sing a real success. The annital Spanish Masquerade ball brought forth Elsye Berrye Yates as queen of the Mardi Gras cel- ebration. We were feeling in the mood for queens, so Mary Elizabeth Petticrew headed the committee on arrangements for the May Day Program. Xancy Pierpont as the Spirit of America and Xancy Wolfe representing Spirit of Great Britain reigned over the Pageant of Xations with Anne Benton, Faye Brandon, Betty Fahr, Louise Painter, Liggie Ellett, Martha Smith, Llelene Stras, Elsye Berrye Yates, and Petty as representatives in the coi;rt. Graduation ! What a meaning the word carries. Commencement — yes — but the end of so many things : hours of study mingled with play — mobs at the post office — slipping across the street for vespers in the Episcopal Church. Foiir years — our college genera- tion — have given to each of us different experiences to be recorded in diaries and cherished throughout our life — Chubby ' s rare presentation of Only a Bird in a Gilded Cage — classes with ilartha the Reform- er who can always challenge an opinion — the Hall twins deciding what to wear the next day — Caralie and Jean off on a lark — friendships. We accepted the challenge of the class of lO-tO and leave it in turn, as a rightful heritage, to the class of 1042 — the challenge and the privilege of carrying- on. And with it, one phrase which we chose early in our college life, as a giiide in all our undertakings : Be the best of whatever you are. Little b Little . . . The Virginian Ayers, Mr. McCorkle, Wertz We just couldn ' t have gotten along without the insi iration of Mr. Bright- man ' s visits. He seemed to breathe new life into everyone at the most difficult times. Mr. Tice and Mr. Brown also cheered us along. In a little breathing spell among all the pictures, snaps, reporting, meetings, and plans, May and iVnne took time out to go to Detroit for the Convention. After we saw the unique cover and the design Dotty created for it, we nearly burst with pride and desire to tell everybody. By the time we haunted the halls in search of that person who promised to subscribe or had to write home to Moth- er, time had flown. We had much fun planning for the dance, and the tickets were going like hot-cakes, when a flu epidemic cancelled the dance. We decided in our next meet- ing to have the dance the night of May Day. Then we began mounting pictures, getting in write-ups, cudgeling our brains for captions and working on subscrip- tions. When the deadline came on Feb- ruary 14, we were thrilled that we had CAj IE into being as we worked fractions. Of all things, fractions ! Multiply 3% by 5, divide by 6, multiply by 12 — or is it 11 ? Heavens, where is May ? Thus we muttered as we counted words for our informal write-ups. We started the year off, eager to put last year ' s success in the shade and to see that beam of satisfaction on our editor ' s face. When May told us that our book lacked only a few points of rating All-American, the highest honor that can be given a publication, we contained our joy with difficulty. The two biggest jobs that faced us immediately were getting our words counted for each article and that colossal task of getting individual pictures. Af- ter we had signed everyone up for takes, Tommy began his usual line of coaxing, bribing, begging, grin- ning, joking — anything to get a natural ; to avoid that inevitable howl of This looks like my grand- mother ! Anne, aided by Mr. Mac, did a fine job of balancing the books, and May accomplished the im- possible in juggling schedules to get everybody in. While the photogxaphic staff ' popped up in the most unusual places, led on by Madge and Gay Ward, the literary staff tore its hair over write-ups and took all its troubles to Jane. Meanwhile the publicity and art staffs were preparing to make the school An- nual conscious. It seemed that every time we round- ed a turn in the hall or climbed the stairs, little Liilu spoke words of wisdom or the watch-bird gTin- ned at us !

SO many more subscriptions than last year. We got a little panicky as the deadline of March 20 ap- proached, but May ' s planning was so well-timed that the work was through before we realized it. Early in May the book that had been our book to us became our book to the majority of the stu- dent bod} ' at its formal dedication in chapel. We nearly reached the button-popping stage as we wan- dered around and listened in on delighted com- ments from lowly freshmen to departing seniors. The dance on the night of May Day was really a success and a fitting climax to the year ' s activities. Decorating was sandwiched in between the various events, and the gj ' ni looked lovely. Our annual banquet, held this year at Longwood. meant farewell and the close of the year for us. We always remember those red-letter J Iondays — Mr. Mac ' s drawl of Miss Anne, did you or May, check on this mounting pictures and remem- bering to keep every one in place — receiving our as- sig-nments — all oitr associations and tribiilatious — but most of all, IMay ' s unflagging industry, tireless effort, ready smile of encouragement, and advice that solved our knottiest problems. 1 1 c f ttibitt AlsY) pause, in our recognition of faculty members who have been an inspiration to us, organizations and classes which have been a credit to the college, and the per- sons composing them who have been integral parts of the school, to recognize those seniors to whom we owe so much. We are told, and rightly, that a group becomes as its lead- er — and we know that our growth in loyalty to the stand- ards of our college, our love of its principles, the devotion of our work in its interests, can be attributed to the per- sonalities of our leaders. Caralie Nelson, as president of the Student Body, Jean Moyer, as president of the Y. W. C. A., Frances Ellett, as president of the liouse Council, Patricia Gibson, as Editor of the Rotunda, Ruth Lea Pur- dum, as president of the Senior Class, and Rosa Courter, as head of the iithletic Association, are associated in our minds with all that typifies capability and strength of character, and in our hearts with all that comprises the true spirit of the College.

There were never two days qiiite alike ; no one could ever say the strenuous Monday and Wednesday Lab Days were as pleasant as Tuesdays and Thursdays, which were more conducive to the afternoon naps we like so much.

Sheppard Street, Richmond A: .XD so we come to the end of another story — a record of a year in the history of the college. Those who began their planning last sirring, worked to cominle i ictures and copy in the fall, edited page after page in long midnight hours during the winter, see in the 1941 Virginian the com- pletion of their work and the realization of their hopes for a successful portrayal of life at Farmville. To staif members the Viegixiax represents the culmina- tion of many things — plans and revisions, mishaps and problems, hours of laboring, with even an occasional session of hair-tearing, and then laughter at our mistakes. We realize that we have, been able to fuliill our ambitions for the Viegixiax only with the help and constant cooperation of many individuals and gToups, and that to all of them we owe our thanks for what they have done. We acknowl- edge gratefully the services of: Jahn Oilier Engraving Company, Chicago, whose help with our layout, our theme, and our pictures has been invaluable. Daniel Smith Studios, Ealeigh, who made our pictures and gave us loyal assistance the entire year. J. P . Bell Company, Inc., LTOchburg, without whose patience the informal theme of the book could not be achieved. Mr. W. A. Eadspinner, Kichmond, whose interest and assistance in the photographic work improved the variety and quality of our informal pictures. S ow that the work is over we acknowledge to ourselves that not a day of our labors could have continued without the patience, the ingenuity, and the heliDfulness of Mr. T. A. McCorkle, our faculty adviser. No problem was too difficult, no detail too minute, for his attention ; he quelled fears when they cropped up, devoted his time to our pictures, and gave inspiration to our every effort. Miss Virginia Bedford, art adviser, and Miss Xancy Foster, literary adviser, made possible the attractiveness of our art work and the precision and quality of our write-ups. Ve should like to thank the student body for the sympathetic interest and cooperation they gave so generously throughout the year; their spirit gave incentive to our hopes for a complete record of their life at the college. To the staff of The 1941 Vikgikian we wish to express our sincere gi-ati- tude for the services and time they have given. It is they who caused the success of each meeting, the completion of copy and material before each deadline, and the timely editing of our book this spring. We caimot express adequately our appreciation of their spirit of cooperation. We are happy in the completion of a book which, we hope, will remind you of the pleasant happenings and significance of your life at Farmville in 1940-1911.
