' ■ H %iC Contents xxxxxx THE SCHOOL In this section of our book we present views of the buildings and a glimpse of what goes on in each; our faculty and administration; and the student administrative organisations: Student Government, the Y. W. C. A., and the House Council. CLASSES The four classes are presented next. In this section, also, are the Freshman Commission and Who ' s Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges. ORGANIZATIONS Beginning on page 1 1 5 is the section given to the organizations, including academic, profes ' sional, and music organizations, honor societies, and some social groups. SORORITIES The next d ivision includes the eight sororities on the campus. They are shown in alphabetic order and are followed by the Pan ' Hellenic Council. SPORTS The Athletic Association, major and minor sports, and varsity teams are included in the sports section. In it, also, are the clubs which have sports for their purpose, such as Orchesis and the Hl 0 and Riding Clubs. FEATURES In the feature section, we have the senior personalities chosen by the student body, and the snapshots which give a glimpse of life at Farmville in 1942-43. This Is Our Alma Mater I here is Something about the campus and the buildings at armuille that makes us love the school always from the first time tee come up tke Snort walk to tke IKotunda. J- erhapS it is the calm, quiet appearance of the long, low, red-brick buildings beneath the shade or tall maple trees, perhaps it is the worn doorsitl of the ever-buSu f otunda and the wait the steps wind tip to tin- Second and third floors inside. Or it could be sometlu ' ng in the atmosphere that makes us realize how manu girls through the gears have entered these buildings with a feeling of awe and left them with a heart fill of devotion for tin ' s, their J4lma i V later, l l e are proud to be among them. I ' ll see you in The Rotunda The Rotunda was the meeting place. There we met our friends to chat between classes and to gossip and read mail before meals and met our dates for church and for dances. A dozen times a day we went into the Home Office to look on the mantel for notes and notices and telegrams, to consult the little black book for room numbers, to talk with Miss Royall or Mrs. McCoy. The Hanging of the Greens at Christ ' mas and the Lantern Parade at Graduation took place in the Rotunda, the scene of great activity at all times. Fay Johnson and Budgie Butzner talk Louise Bell and Flee Hawthorne into buying tickets to Club ' 45. Patsy Connelly ' s table is surprised by the camera. While Mrs. McCoy phones, Myrtle Lee Holt and Esther Wilson wait. Jo Eades, Evelyn Ruggles, and Martha Patterson get the 10:00 mail. From Sha espeare to Gregg Library Hall All of us knew Library Hall. Perhaps we took typing or office practice or geography in the basement. Certainly we struggled through freshman history, English, or chemistry on the main floor, or studied sewing or art on second. Some of us lived on third floor, a dormitory hall known for its fun, friendliness, and Freshmen. If so, how well we remember the brisk run across the ■bridge to Main, going down the dark but convenient back stairway to the class ' rooms, and the light from the library clock shining into the windows. Sugar Scott and Shirley Pierce work intently on art. Busy, too, are the girls in the office practice room. Even in the con- fusion of the assembling class, Virginia Parsons and Jane Smith smile over letters. Preparing for a place test in geo- graphy are Eloise Golladay, Pat Dodl, and Elizabeth Walls. Chapel at 11 a. m. Whitehouse Down the aisle for Installation come the Seniors and their little sisters. The play, The Male Animal, features Betty Ellis, Dodie Jones, and the Jongleurs. While Miss Wheeler watches and Aline Boss paints, Tedo Savage helps with the staging. Amy Read taps Carolyn Rouse a new member of A. K. G. On the halls of Whitehouse we learned well the harsh clanging of the big bell in the early morning. We saw the girls flocking to the kitchen for sandwiches and cokes. We heard stern commands for quiet if there were a pre gram in the auditorium. It is the auditorium that we remember most, however: hurrying there for chapel, slipping in for Prayers at night, joining the mad rush for Sing on Saturday, spending countless hours at play rehearsals, marching solemnly down the aisle for Freshman L ' Y Installation, marching later for Senior In ' stallation, marching for Senior Chapel on Fri ' day, and then for Graduation . . . Alone with its odors, Science Hall Ruth Fraughnaugh, Annie Belle Walker, and Betty Laird give the white rats tender care. Jean Carr, Anne Price, and Hallie Hillsman hunt electropotential lines. Mr. French teases Anne Covington for asking Mr. Mac ' s help with physics. Louise Bell, Ella Carrington, and Caroline Burwell work in analytical lab. Pies and soup and rolls on the first floor, ammonia and hydrogen sulfide on the second — that is Science Hall. There we studied nu ' trition, cooked and served meals, and had chemistry and physics lab. It was there, too, that we took all sorts of problems to be solved. When we needed properties for plays, help with our schedules, or even advice on our teaching, we went to Mr. Mac and Mr. French. When a big order of pictures came in and when The Virginian was ready to be delivered, we sought a place in the line to Science Hall. • ■ fii-v-- Telephone 53 ' . Annex Pat Maddox joins Marion Orange and Nancy Wilkinson over a box of food. Theresa Hutt, Helen Cobbs, and Hersey Hutt think that, on homework, three heads are better than one. At a jam session Betty Kiger, Martha Walsh, and Marilyn Bell like music; Jane Moseley and Peggy Becker prefer to talk. All of us asked to room on Annex our sophomore year, and most of us wanted a room on second floor. All summer we were eager to know who would get these prized rooms. We loved the view of the Colonnade and our Joan of Arc, the convenience of the steamy shower room, and our favorite gossip spot around the ever-busy telephone. A. P. and Amy ' s sudden decision to change their suite into an apartment and Birdie ' s valiant attempts to keep quiet on her hall when girls were pass- ing through after physical fitness classes at night — these we knew would be cherished memories of 1943. We play, we dance, we wor in Student Building Student Building stands as an existing, tan ' gible example of what can be accomplished through love and devotion to an ideal, for.it was built and paid for through gifts at Foun ' der ' s Day. Meetings and parties in the chapter rooms, working on The Rotunda and The Virginian in the publications office, dances and games in the gym, and life in the dormitory — all these made Student Building the scene of many happy, busy hours. Jane Ruffin and Giggy Firesheets study the dummy of The Virginian. Anne Randolph takes her d ate down the receiv- ing line at Junior Prom. Stags were plentiful at Fall Cotil- lion; refreshments, at Junior Prom. Notice the mixture of tuxedos and Navy and Army uniforms. We loo for noivledge . . . The Library Nancy Fuqua and Ella Traynham wait as Mamie Snow pre- pares to show a movie. Did Elsie Thompson know we were planning to take a picture, or does she always study big books? While Rosa Hill and Jane Morris keep the desk, Miss Clark explains the rental system to a visitor. A wide brick walk, gray granite steps, large arched windows, and tall white columns — our library. With blotters on the tables and little signs saying Leave schedules here, it was there that we planned our classes for the year. The browsing room was open Sunday after- noons. More and more classes made use of the audio ' visual room. Classes in French and mathematics met daily in the library lecture rooms. And all during the year we spent many afternoons and evenings in the quiet of the library — writing papers and reading parallel. Let ' s wal out to Longwood S. T. C ' ers wait eagerly for Longwood to open. Later Clare Parker Westbrook, Emily Carper, and Marjorie Vaughan come out to pose for a picture. Lelia Holloway, Virginia Radogna, Faith Weeks, and the soldiers enjoy the sunshine; Anne Garnett, Byron, Ada Claire Snyder, and Jim, the music. One mile from Farmville stands Longwood, once the home of General Joseph Johnston and now a recreation center for the college. On sunny Sunday afternoons we walked there to take pictures and to buy the famous Longwood buns. Through early morning mists we walked out for sunrise services. In the warm days of autumn and spring we walked out for picnics. Weekend parties at the cabin; Sunday suppers in the cozy dining room; hot dogs roasted at the open fireplaces — all these things we assc ciate with Longwood. Lights never go off in Cunningham Hall Soup ' s on! Dot Anderson, Alice Duncan, Lucy and Kitty Davis are the cooks. Betty Boutchard, Shirley Turner, Jac Hardy, Betty Reid, Lilly Bee Gray, and Winifred Wright eat while they study. Mary William Calvert, Lois Alphin, Eleanor Folk, Virginia Sedgley, and Winifred Wright proof The Colonnade. Going to the building? 1 ' ' is a question fre ' quently asked among Juniors and Seniors at Farmville. Moving to the Building ' ' ' was one of the outstanding events of our junior year. It wasn ' t until we were all together in Cun ' ningham Hall that classmates came really to know each other. As Seniors we hung our pictures and pennants (No tacks in the walls, though, please!), realizing how much we had to crowd into the last year. There would be meals in the kitchen, dates in the Rec. and long nights of work spent on student teaching. Also On Our Campus Libby Bernard plays games with her Training School pupils. Helen Wilson, Frances Satterfield, Frances Lee, Agnes Pat- terson, and Amy Read get their laundry. Looking domestic with aprons and brooms, Nell Pritchett, Ellen Ebel, Virginia Campfield, Betty Love, and Alice Seebert sweep the Practice House steps. There are other buildings, too, important to the function of the school and the life of the campus. There is the Training School, where we put teaching methods into practice. There are the infirmary, the power plant, the carpenter ' s shop, the swimming pool, the field house, and Gym Hall. There is the laundry, to which we wend our way on Monday and again on Friday, hoping to find all towels and socks in place. There is the Practice House, the home of all Senior home economics girls for one busy, exciting quarter. Our Faculty and Administration I he student or todau is in a position to appreciate, more than ver before, tke services of those who guide and Supervise the lite of Ids cotieqe. r oic. mder the stress of war, the leaders of our college realize the vital necessitii of the ontinued education of Armerican uoutli in the ideals of democratic living. Jhe tudents ha ve come to recognize what a haven of civilization the college is. -J rere at jrarmville we have been particutarlii fortunate in livinq in an at- phere of friendlu informality — an atmosphere which has made it possible for us to benefit not onlu from the Services of our facultif and administration, but also to gain a great deal from their personalities and character. m OS DR. J. L. JARMAN, President ' We ' re very fond of our Ui Faculty and Administration ' PON Dr. Jarman, first citizen of Farmville and beloved president of our college, we bestow a special citation for distinguished service. His interest in civic af- fairs has been surpassed only by his untiring efforts in making State Teachers College the recognized institution it is today. To all of us who have felt the influence of his wonderful personality, Dr. Jarman represents the spirit of Farmville at its very best. And this year with an ever ' changing horizon before us, his quah ities of courage and conviction have become a stabilizing influence, a living testimonial to the fact that not even war can destroy our deeply rooted culture and Our American Way of Life. Upon Miss Mary White Cox, Head of the Home, we confer the title First Lady of S. T. C. Her graciousness and sympathetic under standing have been an inspiration to us, and her calm demeanor has served as a check on our impulsive natures. Her patriotism was unchal- lenged in that she was always ready to be prop ' erly complimentary of the picture of one of our brothers in the Army or to lend an attentive ear to our requests to go home to see the boy friend on his furlough. Education as usual, even during a war, has been our motto. Yearning for more active participation in our country ' s fight, we have often felt tempted to rebel against academic barriers. Most of us, however, consoled our selves with the thought that we were building for tomorrow. To the faculty who have been especially con ' cerned with our problems in the kaleidoscope of events, we extend thanks. More than they can possibly realize they have helped us to hope for an enlightened future and for the ultimate achievement of a civilized world. We would like to give the entire faculty and administration honorary membership in the Home Guard and commend them highly for their extra-curricular activities. Mr. Myers and Dr. Jeffers held active membership with the minute men and were thus doubly dis- tinguished. We often wondered how Mr. McCorkle, with his many activities in civilian defense, ever got around to the chemistry lab. Chief Air Raid Warden for the town of Farmville, Mr. Mac also assisted with the rationing pro- gram. Mr. French was an air raid warden. When- ever a test air raid was imminent, Charlie Hop came with his trusty flashlight in his hand and with a SomthingVGoing-to-Happen gleam in his eye. Mr. Graham was not only an air raid ward- en, but also the keeper of our Ration Books. It seemed strange to have to ask him before buy- ing a pair of shoes! Without the global geography of Miss Moran and Miss Waters, we would still be lacking in our education. Dr. Walmsley was adviser to the War Council, and the excellent programs arranged by that group reflected his sound outlook on world affairs. Miss Peck was president of the Alumnae Association. She also went with the Choir to New York as one of the chaperons. Miss Burger had her extra-curricular interest divided between Red Cross work and the Girl Scouts. Taking Music for Morale as his keynote. Mr. Strick made this a big year in the musical Miss Mary White Cox Head of the Home life of the college. The concerts given by the various choral groups at Christmas and on War Emphasis Day were an inspiration to the whole student body. Miss Richards had charge of the Choral Club and the Madrigal Group. A school orchestra was organized under the supervision of Miss Purdom. Miss Purdom, with other members of the faculty, served in the capacity of chaperon for the U. S. O. dances. Miss Wheeler was in charge of the U. S. O. activities here. In her efforts to pro- vide entertainment for the soldiers at the Rec- reation Center and at Pickett, Miss Wheeler demonstrated her usual ability for getting things done. Mr. Holton, our Director of Personnel, was never too busy to advise us about classes and schedules. THE 1943 FACULTY S. M. HOLTON, JR. B. A., M. A.

Miss Bugg and her assistants, Mrs. Cox and Miss Wall, kept check on our credits and require ments for graduation. Mrs. Watkins, secretary to the President, helped us constantly. At the training school Miss Henry, Prin- cipal this year, and Miss Norris, Miss Carter, Mrs. Watkins, and Miss Haynes were coiv fronted with the problems of itinerant Army children and of student teachers. Physical Fitness was a good slogan trans- lated into actuality by Miss Her and Miss Barlow. We remember the various sports, military tactics, and drills. Miss Kauzlarich welcomed all newcomers to the modern dance classes. If we should get sick there was the SARAH BOYD TUCKER B. A., M. A.

Assistant Professor of Geography NANCY FOSTER B. A., M. A. Assistant Professor of English Infirmary under the capable direction of Miss McKee. Consumer Education was the big topic under discussion in the Home Economics De- partment. Miss Tupper, head of the depart ' ment, and her assistants — Miss Jeter, Miss Gleaves, and Miss Hall (of the Home Manage- ment House) — made consumer education real and vivid. Testing for quality of new ersatz materials and making one ' s own clothes were part of the program. Miss Bedford, head of the Art Department this year, and Miss Booten, assistant professor, put special emphasis on the expression of war- time emotions through the various mediums of art. Miss Rice ' s Latin class offered a welcome escape from everyday matters. THE 1943 FACULTY LUCILLE JENNINGS B ' . S., M. S. Associate Professor of English WILHELMINA P. LONDON B. S., M. A.

In the English Department our best stan- dards were upheld by Mr. Grainger and Misses Hiner, Nichols, Jennings, Djndon. and Foster. Mr. Merritt revolutionized our library sys- tem. A iter we became accustomed to the change we found it a very good one indeed. The new books concerning the war were ap- preciated by us. Miss Snead, Miss Clark, and Mrs. Blanton were always ready to help us there. After Miss Draper ' s summer in Mexico we could never decide whether she was thinking in MARY E. PECK B. S., M. S.

Dr. Wynne, in addition to his duties as Direc tor of Teacher Training, was working on a new book. Mr. and Mrs. Hallisy were newcomers to the Business Department this year.

Miss Maud Taliaferro, our postmistress, assisted us ably in keeping up the morale of soldiers, sailors, and marines everywhere. Mrs. Shelton, Mrs. Province, and Mrs. Turnbull gave us the best food possible under wartime conditions. We shall long remember Mrs. Dudley at Longwood and Mrs. Lindsay ' s supervision of our laundry. In the Home Office Mrs. McCoy, Miss Royall, and Miss Blackwell took care of our telegrams and telephone calls. Mrs. Lamg, Mrs. Warren, and Mrs. Beasley showed us the value of doing everyday things, such as making our beds, just as usual. RUTH CLEAVES B. S., M. A.

Grammar-Grade Supervisor Agnes Patterson President of the Student Body Guiding and directing us . . . The Student Council J. HE grueling night ses ' sions of the Council came from the wishes of the Farmville girls for a group of students to share the responsibility in their own guidance. Within the quiet of the council room, we have weighed many decisions and have hoped that our mistakes were not too frequent. Besides the formal meetings, there was always the in- formality of Amy ' s room, where in early morn- ing hours we gathered over the brewing pot of coffee to discuss a current case. The Christmas party in A. P. ' s room, a tra- dition that made us forget the serious side of life temporarily, and the birthday banquet for Dr. Jarman at Longwood were part of our social schedule this year. We loved them both! The Intercollegiate Association of Student Government was held at Lynchburg last spring. Agnes Patterson, Ella Marsh Pilkinton, Han- nah Lee Crawford, Mary Evelyn Pearsall, and Ann Blair were our representatives there, and they came back with ideas and suggestions that helped us all this year. Agnes Patterson served as president of the Student Body this year, and to her we took all the problems that seemed entirely too hard for us to work out for ourselves. She was a tireless listener, even at outlandishly inconvenient hours of the night, and it was to her that most of us who made up the Student Body owed our understanding of such things as the Honor Code and the high standard of living that we at Farmville tried to uphold. Serving as a com- petent vice-president was Ella Marsh Pilkin- I £523 E ff— J5™5rr!s ™«« -.••irsr.ir.i; Left to right: Hillsraan, Bridgforth, H. Mish, Haymes, Parker Weathers, A. Smith, A.

Miggie Mish (of call-down fame) was on Gov ernment as president of the House Council, and Ann Blair, as president of the Campus League. Representing the classes were Ann Ware Smith, Mary Fiddle Haymes, Seniors; Betty Bridgforth, Ella Banks Weathers, Juniors; Bobbie Scott (taking the place of Ruth Parker, who left school for marriage) , Harriette Moore, Sophomores; and Betty Brothers, Glenn Ann Patterson, Freshmen. Amy Read, president of the Y. W. C. A., and Hallie Hillsman, presi- dent of the Athletic Association, were ex- officio members. Dr. Jarman and Miss Mary White Cox composed our advisory board. The standards of Farmville, always upheld by Stu- dent Government, will be a lasting influence throughout our lives. ' Follow the Gleam! Amy Read President of the Y. W. C. A. Seated: Glenn, B.

JL HE Y girls, wearing white dresses and blue ribbons, were quite pop ' ular the first few days of school as we wel ' corned and directed bewildered Freshmen about the campus. We devoted ourselves to getting the new freshman class acquainted during those first weeks. There was a freshman party in the rec, and later, the Big Sister-Little Sister Re- ception where the new girls met the old girls and the Faculty. The installation service for the Freshmen was held in Joan Court in Octo- ber. We were proud of our Freshmen as they marched in white-clad unison, singing and each holding a lighted candle that glowed in the dusk. At Christmas time, the Y. W. C.

Also, there was White Christmas, in which the different organizations contributed for the needy. In prayers, Agnes Patterson told us the story, Why the Chimes Rang, and Miss Rice, The Other Wise Man. Finally we ended our winter quarter ' s activ- ities by sponsoring a Campus Chest Drive in cooperation with the War Council. Outstand- ing speakers of the year were Mrs. Ould in November, Rev. T. B. ( Scotty ) Cowan at the January Association meeting, and Dr. J. W. Rustin, Rev. John Osman, and Rev. Philip Roberts for Religious Emphasis Week. Our officers for this year were Amy Read, president; Eleanor Folk, vice-president: Frances Lee Hawthorne, secretary; Anne Ellett, treas- urer; Ella Banks Weathers, Freshman coun- selor. The members of our advisor} ' board were Miss Winnie riiner, Miss M ary Clay Hiner, Miss Rachel Royall, Miss Grace Moran, Mrs. Adele Watkins, and ex-officio member. Miss Sarah Poole. The Sophomore Commission, a branch of the Y, got the Freshmen orientated in Y work through the Freshman Y Club.

This year the House Council was busier than ever. Not only did we have the old responsi ' bility for call-downs, campus slips, and late lights, but each hall president was made an air raid warden. In January, at a chapel program, we received our arm bands frcm Mayor FitZ ' patrick. It was quite a job to see that about seven hundred girls had their lights out when the siren blew.

Again the House Council showed its pa- triotism when one Sunday afternoon we jour- neyed down to the Recreation Center to enter- tain the Camp Pickett boys. It was enter- taining for us, too: ping-pong, a juke box, all sorts of games, and, of course, the never-to-be- forgotten conversations with soldiers from all parts of the country. Just before Christmas one of our usual Mon- day night meetings was turned into a party. We consumed pounds of hard candy that night. For a time we could even forget to won- der what was happening on our halls while we were away. All in all, the year was fun. Even we hall presidents found it hard to keep our poker faces when we were severely reprimanding some of the habitual pranksters. It was excit- ing, too, when we had the first meetings of our halls in the fall to give out busy signs and to review House Council rules, in order to see just who would be under our supervision for the year. Our president was Miggie Mish. As for the rest of the officers — well, the Smiths had it. Ann Ware Smith served as vice-president: lane Smith was secretarytxeasurer. Seated, left to right: N. Allen, Bernard Standing: Boutchard, Miss Her, S. Turner Its good ' bye for The Senior Class W E first knew the thrill of marching to the tune of our Alma Mater when at Senior Installation we officially en- tered the year we had looked forward to so eagerly. And now the Class of ' 43 sadly bids farewell to a year so full of things we shall always remember. There was our beautiful and impressive Sen- ior Dance in December — white dresses, green and white streamers, dates in uniform, and our no-break number, I ' m Dreaming of a White Christmas. Mary Katherine Dodson returned to lead the figure with our officers: Betty Boutchard, president; Nancye Allen, vice-presi- dent; Libby Bernard, secretary; and Shirley Turner, treasurer. Miss Her, our classman for four years, beamed with pleasure that night. There was Circus with our Misplacement Center winning first prize and with Sarah Wade Owen as queen. We enjoyed Mardi Gras with Jac Hardy as queen, May Day with Dot Childress as queen, Chi Sing, Daisy Chain, Lantern Parade, and then Graduation.

The Junior Class L AST fall we came back to school excited over the big move we were to make to the Building. 11 This move meant living in those homey suites, being able to stay up later at night if we liked, and being more closely associated with members of our own class. Faye Nimmo was our president; Patsy Con ' nelly, vice-president; Mary Keith Bingham, secretary; Mildred Corvin, treasurer; and Miss Burger, classman. With these leaders we worked hard and enjoyed it. Our circus stunt, directed by Louise Mc Corkle and Louise Andrews, was awarded second prise. Who will ever forget Liz; Ten- nent as Der Fuehrer, Mary Wilson Carper as Madame Von Blitz,i ' Kreig, and the quick change Jane Ford made from a drunk man in the German cafe to the Spanish maiden in the queen ' s court? We remember, too, the party we gave for the Freshmen, the hockey game we won from the Seniors, and our most successful Junior Prom in January.

The Sophomore Class Wi E returned from three months ' vacation suddenly transformed from the ever-ruled rats of last year to the over-rul- ing Sophomores. Rat Week brought constant activity to Annex and Student. It was fun being tyrants for two days. Then its excite- ment was topped by a thrilling triumph for the Sophomores at Color Rush. Rat caps until Christmas was good news for us. Myrtle Lee Holt was our president; Marilyn Bell, vice-president; Eleanor Wade, secretary: Gwen Sampson, treasurer. Helen Wilson kept the coke machine running for us. Mr. Ray- mond French, who will always be everyone ' s favorite, was our classman again, and his help and enthusiasm really put a z,est into every- thing we undertook. With Ann Blair in the queen ' s court and with our stunt directed by Betty Kiger, Circus was a memorable event. Betty also directed our production, which was a successful reopen- ing of Club ' 43 under its new name of Club ' 45.

Y girls were everywhere to help us, but even they couldn ' t solve all the problems of a Freshman in this vast world of others just as baffled as she. Soon, though, we began to feel at home here and turned to the serious business of class elections. Frances Lee was chosen president; Eleanor Bisese, vice-pres ' ident; Shirley Cruser, secretary; Betty Jones, treasurer; and Miss Royall, classman. The mismatched clothes, the black stockings, and the Praise ' 45V of Rat Week were grue- some at the time, but in retrospect they were really fun. T hen came Color Rush, our hockey clash with the Sophomores, and Circus. Our circus stunt was a minstrel show directed by Phyllis Watts, and the Courter twins were in the queen ' s court. Isabel Sampson directed our class production, a big climax to our first year at Farmville.

III! IS The students spea . Student Standards OTUDENT Standards is the clearing house of problems. Whether these problems be trivial or important, we discuss and plan, and try to find some solution that will help things to run more smoothly here at Farm ' ville. We endeavored to simplify the procedure of the Book Room and made plans for a guest room on Student for visiting lecturers. In the fall we continued with the orientation plan begun last year by which newcomers to Farm- ville might more easily learn what was expected of them. Though we were unsuccessful in our efforts to have the tea room or the elementary Front row, left to right: A. Moore, Mish, Boutchard, R. Rogers, W. Wright Second row: B. Reid, A. Blair Third row: A.

Andrews school cafeteria serve meals on Sunday for girls and their guests, Longwood began serving Sun ' day suppers, and the problem solved itself. Rosalie Rogers was our chairman, and Fran ' ces Parham was our secretary. Judy Eason was chairman of the point system. Mary Evelyn Pearsall, struggling with the conflicts, arrang- ing meeting times and places, and keeping the student body posted, took charge of one of our biggest duties, that of keeping up the calendar of regular meetings and special events. With us on Student Standards to give the faculty ' s point of view were Miss Gleaves, Miss Nichols, Miss Moran, Miss Bedford, Mr. Holton, Miss Royall, and Mrs. Watkins. In line of duty . The War Council JL HE War Council was or- ganised last year to guide, direct, and coordi ' nate the war and defense activities on our campus. With Dr. Walmsley as our faculty adviser, Agnes Patterson was the chairman. Other members of the council were Amy Read; Faye Nimmo; Ann Blair; Nancye Allen, head of con- servation and salvage; Rosalie Rogers, ritual; Hallie Hillsman, physical fitness; Helen Wiley Hardy, war finance; Shirley Turner, first aid; Jane Sanford, publicity; Eleanor Folk, morale; Libby Bernard, air raid protection; and Char- lotte Greeley, consumer education. Our outstanding project was War Emphasis Day, held here on January 27. Governor Dar- den, Dr. Dabney S. Lancaster, Miss Louise Bernard, and Major Graves were the speakers. We sponsored a series of programs to fur- ther understand our allies. The Finance Com- mittee cooperated with The Rotunda in the Campus Bond Queen drive in which Helen Wiley Hardy was chosen Campus Queen. Front row, left to right: Read.

Brown T( O us who have worked so hard and so faithfully to fill the four pages of The Rotunda each and every week, every issue is a milestone long to be remembered. There were always a maddening rush to meet dead- lines, always a dreadful fear lest the cuts not come, always frantic efforts to hide the scoops, always scrambling at the last minute upon the discovery of a three-inch blank space on page one. Getting out the paper was an all- week job, from assignments on Wednesday night to circulation the following Wednesday afternoon to assignments Wednesday night and so on in an exciting circle. Yet as we read the finished product, none of us begrudged one agonising minute. At times the three Janes in the office became confusing, but through all the storm Jane Cab- ell Sanford remained calm and unperturbed — the ideal editor. Mary Parrish Viccellio did not return, and Ella Banks Weathers, taking her place as managing editor, rivaled the sun in rising on Wednesday morning to return the corrected galley sheets to the Herald office. Jane Waring Ruffin of a necessity developed a nose for news, and she and her staff used shoe leather galore catching up with news stories. Marilyn Bell resigned her position; Fay Byrd Johnson, taking over, featurized the very walls of the school in her original endeavors. Shirley Pierce for the third year put the spotlight on sports in her lively column, Sportspourri. The final Jane — Jane Smith — somehow learned of all the social affairs to give us Just Looking, Thanks. Lilly Bee Gray kept her staff on their toes to check every misspelled word and correct the galley sheets on Tuesday night; Sara Jeffreys was forever and eternally snapping pictures of every big event. Elva Andrews watched the financial status ol the paper to keep The Rotunda out of the red, and Mary Keith Bingham ' s face became familiar to all the local merchants in her valiant effort to add up inches of ads. It was Mary St. Clair Bugg who saw that the papers were de- livered hot off the press. Mr. Holton was ever on hand to criticize and advise, and fairer criticism or better advice could not be found. Also, our friends in the Herald office showed a patience and a resource- fulness that were the salvation of The Rotunda. Some issues are memorable. The issue dedi- cated to War Day in January was printed in blue with an enormous red V on the front page. Nor is any of the staff likely to forget the issue put our during exams or the last week in June. In the fall Jane Cabell, Ella Banks, and Elva represented The Rotunda at the National A. C. P. Convention in Chicago. Ideas were ex- changed with editors from all over the nation, and the results were evident in subsequent issues of The Rotunda. Because of transporta- tion difficulties the Virginia Intercollegiate Press Association convened through the mail. The Rotunda came to the student body every Wednesday — a weekly record of Farmville.

Hardy oPRING fever or excite- ment over being chosen for the new staff of The Colonnade did not hinder our working capacity last spring. We worked diligently to impress the outgoing staff with our first issue. It was dedicated to the Seniors — printed before they left us. The cover, a black and white sketch, pictured a Senior stepping into war work and blowing the trumpets of victory. In- side this attractive cover were contributions by members of the graduating class, bits of advice by Dr. Jeffers to those who were launching out into the world, and sketches of girls in the uniforms of land, sea, and air forces. Spurred on by a summer ' s refreshment and the success of our first issue, we set to work on the fall Colonnade. We knew there was no doubt about our having good short stories be ' cause the summer contest was coming to an end, and the prize winning story, Do Unto Others ' ' ' ' by Mary Frances Bowles, was to be featured in this issue. The Freshmen displayed their talent in the essays they wrote during Rat Week. It took many long hours of searching to find boners and jokes that were to our taste. Plowing through manuscript for apt phrases for Pen Poise took time, but it was fun, too. At times the outlook was gloomy and de ' pressing when contributions were few or were not up to par. But hope and persistence won. Layouts were planned, pages filled, and ads sold. Mary Ann Reid and her staff worked hard to type it all. At last all the material was turned over to the Herald Office. Winifred would run down to the Office to see the proof take shape. Proof -reading meant a few busy — and interesting — nights around the table in the senior dining room. Then what fun we had watching the expressions of the girls ' faces and listening for their reactions when The Colon- nade was delivered at the evening meal. Winifred Wright, our editor, and Anne Ellett, our business manager, attended the national A. C. P. convention in Chicago, where they participated in discussions, saw in- teresting exhibits, and heard talks by the asso- ciate editor of the Coronet and the editor of The Rotation. They came back with plans to make the winter issue a new inspiration. The second and third prize-winning stories of the short story contest, In a True Light by Jane Lee Sink and The Amber Earrings by Jane Smith, were ready to be printed. The poetry contest, won by Ann Snyder with her poem, Native Again, brought us many rhythmic gems. The best of these appeared in our winter and spring issues of The Colonnade. By this time we had discovered some new talent for our publication. Jane Smith took her place among the literary editors; Lois Alphin among the poetry editors: Imogen Claytor and Jean Arington on the art staff: and Betty Ag- new among the business assistants. To the board of contributors, came Fay Johnson, Lelia Holloway, and Betty Cock. With the spring issue in the hands of the students, our work ended. But our memories of the fun and experience our Colorinades afforded us five on. First row, seated, left to right: Crute, Fitzgerald, Calvert Second row: Rouse, Ruffin, Sedgley, L.

As soon as the new editors were elect ' ed, we began making plans. Staffs were chosen; Mr. Brightman came; we organized and de ' cided on our methods. Then Susie Moore, editor, Ann Ware Smith, business manager, and Elizabeth Tennent, managing editor, seri- ously set to work on the page sequence plan. With our return in September came work to be done. Liz resigned as managing editor. Pre moting Sara Wayne France to this position meant making Louise McCorkle photographic editor. Mary Moore McCorkle took charge of subscriptions. Libby McCoy was literary edi ' tor, and Sarah Trigg, art editor. Problems — what problems we faced ! Limited transportation made frequent visits from our advisers and photographers impossible. Some ' how Mr. Brightman always managed to be a day or two late, but when he finally arrived, he had such good ideas to offer that we always forgave him. For days before his visits, we would say to almost every question that came up, We ' ll ask Mr. Brightman when he comes. He will know. Our grateful thanks were won, too, by Mr. Tice, Mr. Brown, and Mr. and Mrs. Gitchell for their unlimited patience and their interest in our book. Early in the fall we began taking both indi- vidual and group pictures the same week. Next, pictures were mounted; the dummy was copied; the cover was decided on. These an ' nual secrets kept the whole student body wondering about personalities, snapshots, and many other items. Susie and Sara Wayne went to Chicago for the Convention and returned with exciting accounts of discussions, speeches, helpful ideas, and new acquaintances. After Christmas we started off hard to work on snapshots. Mr. Mac and Charlie Hop pitched in and helped the photographic staff take pictures around school one night. Then came measuring space in the dummy, identify ing pictures, reminding students of the deadline on February 16, and such questions as: Have you seen everyone on your hall this week? What ' s 131 2 times 38? Do you know the girl third from the left in this picture? We could always depend on Mr. McCorkle and asked him questions that ranged from word count to captions, from picture sizing to revis- ing layouts. Miss Bedford ' s good judgment in the art work and Miss Foster ' s amazing way of correcting every bit of spelling and punctua- tion helped to make our book. Susie ' s patience and tireless effort: the rush before deadlines; Ann ' s care to account for every penny spent; the Sunday we served cof- fee and doughnuts at the Servicemen ' s Center — all add up as memories of the year spent on putting together The Virginian of 1943. From February to May we would be asked every day, When is the annual coming out? and we would answer, In May, we hope! Finally came the day when we sent our last material off to the printers. What fun to throw away all the old copy and to wait for the day in chapel when we could present our book ! Front row, left to right: L. McCorkle. S. Williams Second row: S.

Alpha Kappa Gamma W E in Alpha Kappa Gam- ma will long remember the impressiveness and the thrill of tapping. Those slow, steady foot ' steps down the aisle of the quiet, waiting auditorium symbolized to us the steadfastness of our purposes, the sureness of the members as we bid new leaders to our midst. Each time we heard them, the words of our tapping cere- mony had new meaning for us. Once a quarter they were spoken, followed by the quiet Such leaders have been found among you — . Early in the fall five Seniors, Anne Ellett, Rosalie Rogers, Nancye Allen, Ella Marsh Pilkinton, and Carolyn Rouse, and two Juniors, Ella Banks Weathers and Hann ah Lee Craw- ford, became members. During the winter Vir- ginia Kent Sedgley, Margaret Kitchin, Sarah Wade Owen, Betty Reid, Patsy Connelly, and Frances Lee Hawthorne were tapped. Jane Cabell Sanford was our president, and Betty Youngberg, vice-president. Betty Boutchard served as treasurer, and Nancye Allen was our secretary. In October we were patrons for the annual circus, with a Pan-American theme. Sarah Wade Owen reigned as queen, attended by Jane Ford, Ann Blair, and Alice and Nancy Courter. The proceeds of the circus we gave to help in furnishing the Farmville Recreation Center. In the spring, in cooperation with The R.O ' tunda, the Joan Circle of Alpha Kappa Gamma sponsored a quiz, contest with Hampden- Sydney. On our team were Virginia Kent Sedgley, Dawn Shanklin, Ann Ware Smith, Elizabeth McCoy, and Jane Waring Ruffin. Alpha Kappa Gamma selects as its members those in the student body whose qualities of leadership, quiet and otherwise, have made them outstanding. Equally important, how- ever, are the qualities of character and service and devotion to ideals such as those held by our patron saint, Joan of Arc. We keep before us always, as a goal toward which to press, as a standard by which to grow, as a light by which to live, the spirit of Joan of Arc. Who in the moment of victory Remains inaccessible to vanity and hate. Who in the midst of popular enthusiasm Lives in humility and prayer. Who in the universal clash of ambition Covets neither profit nor honours. JOHN GERSON The open forum Pi Gamma Mu II Gamma Mu and the new world order that will follow this war — these two seemed to go together this year. Pit ' falls of the Paris peace conference and treaties following World War I, How will the next peace be made? , How far will imperialism be justified in the New World Order? , What will be the new economic order? — those were the topics on which we worked far into the night to prepare papers, talks, and discussions for our open program meetings. Finally all speeches and decisions that were made were compiled into a pamphlet form to be presented to the library. India ' s Freedom and the Present War was discussed in the lecture by Mr. Pasupuleti Krishnayya, sponsored by Pi Gamma Mu. Then Mardi Gras, under our leadership, was a gala occasion with Jac Hardy as queen. Shir ' ley Turner, Frances Mallory, Kitty Shelburne, Dot Childress, Mary Evelyn Pearsall, Sara Hardy, Virginia Mae Ellett, and Frances Lee, dressed in authentic medieval costumes, made up her court. We, in varied costumes, and our escorts, in tuxedos and uniforms, danced to the music of Freddie Lee ' s orchestra. Until we saw them that night, we never realised how many original costumes could be assembled in the last few hours. The final project of Pi Gamma Mu for the year was the peace conference. What will be done about the race questions in the New World Order? , What will be the political set ' up of the New World Order? — such ques- tions as these were issued. The conference was based on the actual treaty meeting that will follow this war. The true situation was created as nearly as possible. The personalities and ideals and the final aims of each country were kept in mind throughout the conference. Each Front row, left to right: H. Hardy, J. Sanford Second row: Looney, Randolph, I.

Kappa Delta Pi vyUR year was full of in ' teresting events: American Education Week in November, featuring chapel programs with student speakers; our Christmas banquet; the reception in the spring for the Freshmen and the Sophomores whose averages were in the upper fourth of their classes. Just before the banquet in the Tea Room, Dr. Gammon of Hampden ' Sydney was initiated as an honorary member of our chapter. Once each quarter we initiated girls from the Junior and Senior classes into the Beta Epsilon Chapter of Kappa Delta Pi, national honor society in education. In a ceremony, made impressive with white dresses, we pinned our green and purple ribbons on the new mem ' bers and gave them our welcome. Eleanor Folk was our president; Rosalie Rogers, viccpresident; Brookie Benton, secrc tary; and Alice Seebert, treasurer. Miss Paul- ine Camper was our adviser. Our meetings were lively; we enjoyed dis- cussions that were centered on our theme for the year, Conserving Spiritual Values in This Time of Crisis. We encouraged students to enjoy good books through our Personal Library Building contest and learned how absorbing a quest for good reading could be. This meant so much to us that our new books wil l be some thing by which to remember Kappa Delta Pi. Front row, left to right: Haymes, Corvin, E. Andrews, Folk, W.

Our activity began as soon as the Freshmen arrived last fall, for all girls who were valedictorians and salutatorians of their high schools were invited to join us. Early in October we initiated forty-seven girls into the organization. Some were taken into the novice degree, some into the apprentice degree, and some of our members were pro- moted to the master ' s degree. Again in the Front row: S. Williams, M. Bell, M. F.

Miss Mary E. Peck was our faculty adviser. We felt that our programs for the year were extremely timely and vital. They consisted largely of discussions concerning present world affairs and the part that college students will take in rebuilding after the war. On Founders Day we acted as guides. Dur- ing the afternoon the rain stopped long enough for returning alumnae to want to see things about our campus that had changed since they were students here, and we were on hand to show them around. 1 I i 11 We read and write for Beorc Eh Thorn Front row, seated, left to right Rogers, B.

Our fingernails just weren ' t; our minds jumped from one inspiration to another. All year we had centered our programs around the Modern Trend in Education. We had discussed modern short stories, biographies, novels, poetry, and journalism. Now these pro- grams were to be climaxed by a piece of crea- tive writing by each member, and this was the reason for this exasperating situation. How- ever, after our masterpieces had been sub- mitted, we admitted that we had loved every moment of it. Beorc Eh Thorn is Farmville ' s honor society composed of the girls who show outstanding ability and interest in English and creative writing. One of our projects was to sponsor Vladmir Nabokov, Russian author, lecturer, and poet. We were led this year by Rosalie Rogers, president, assisted by Betty Youngberg, vice- president. Our recording secretary was Jeanne Strick, and our corresponding secretary, Marie Davis. Other officers were Betty Reid, treas- urer, and Virginia Sedgley, historian. On our board of advisers were Miss Nichols, Miss Jen- nings, Miss London, Miss Foster, and Mr. Grainger. With paints and palettes- Gamma Psi D O these lines look straight to you? Hey, don ' t drip paint on the floor! Put a newspaper under that paint can! 11 The main theme of our conversation ran somewhat like this one night last fall as we painted a shuffleboard on the floor and hung maps in the Servicemen ' s Recreational Center. This was one of the things that Gamma Psi members had fun working on together as we undertook many activities to further the war effort. Our colorful posters appeared continuously emphasizing War Bond and Defense Stamp drives. Our officers were: Imogen Claytor, president; Elizabeth Gates, vice-president: Betty Sexton, secretary; Mary Moore M;_C kle, treasurer; and Jean Arington, poster chair- man. New members were Mary Lou Dondley, Dodie Jones, Virginia Terrell, Frances Quillen, Jane Knapton, Eleanor Corell, and Sara Bird Williams. We all got acquainted at our Christ- mas party an- had a grand time in spite of the threatened blackout that never took place! o right : W McCorkle, Front row. lctt Wright. M. M.

What would better describe our plight than the words of a popular song of 1943? The old story of gas rationing and tire shortage made the future seem bleak when the debaters first met in the fall. However, events took a turn for the better when we found we were slated to meet Hampden-Sydney and the University of Virginia. Our debate teams also participated in the South Atlantic Tournament at Hickory, North Carolina, sponsored by Le- noir Rhyne College, in the Grand Eastern Tournament, and in Pi Kappa Delta Southeast Province Tournament, at Charlotte, North Carolina, sponsored by Winthrop College. The Debate Club is open to all students who can maintain the treasured C average. Our meetings are a Mecca for S. T. C. ' ers who like to indulge in the interesting business of argu- ing ... in a purely friendly fashion, of course. Debating offers a very good opportunity to match our wits and opinions against those of our friends. To us, winning was not every- thing (we did enjoy it, though), for even the less convincing arguments of the losers had their points. The Deba te Club is a stepping stone to Pi Kappa Delta, which recognizes excellence in debate, oratory, and all other forensic activity. Pi Kappa Delta has the distinction of being the largest national honorary forensic fraternity in the United States. It numbers one hundred and seventy chapters distributed throughout thirty- six states. The Virginia Alpha Chapter in Farmville is the only one in Virginia, however. Virginia Kent Sedgley not only filled the office of president of Pi Kappa Delta, but also furnished a guiding hand in her role of Student Adviser for the Debate Club. Anne Randolph did equally well as president of the Debate Club. Myrtle Jenkins managed to keep her minutes straight and to attend to all the other problems that were thrown at the head of the secretary of Pi Kappa Delta. Alice Nichols did the same work for the Debate Club. Mari- lyn Bell was the treasu rer of the Debate Club. Our advisers, Dr. Swertfeger and Miss Mary Nichols, pulled us over several bumps that clut- tered our path. The success we had this year is due to the members: Betty Adams, Virginia Via, Betty Cock, Jean Altiere, Shirley Easter- ly, and Mary Brinson Walker. Power behind the throne . . May Day Committee J? OR years Farmville ' s May Day has been held at Longwood, but because of transportation difficulties this year, we decided to have it on the campus. As always, though, it took long months of planning and work be ' fore the actual production. May Day this year pictured the old, romantic South, centering around the theme of Stephen Foster ' s music. We put forth our energies and talents to the portrayal of one of the most beloved phases of our American history. There were four scenes in which the differ- ent moods of the composer ' s music were shown. The first presented the music of the dreamer, in which nostalgic songs were sung by the chorus, assisted by Miss PurduirTs orchestra. An old plantation dance was given by a group of twenty girls dressed in overalls. In the second scene, Stephen Foster ' s music of the hills was interpreted by the negro songs sung by the chorus, and by a soft-shoe tap dance and a pickaninny tap. The Orchesis group contributed a Juba dance to this scene. In the third scene, music of the heart wove a subtle background for the May Court and the high point of the afternoon, the crowning of the Queen, Dorothy Childress. After the Queen was crowned, the court formed in her honor tableaus in front of the library. The fourth scene, a ball in honor of the Queen, was an event in which a series of dances were per- formed. The first dance, the Lancers, was given by Orchesis, and following that were schottisches, reels, polkas, and quadrilles danced by the chorus, who were dressed in gay cotton prints. The last scene was a Virginia reel in which all the dancers participated. The Queen Seated, left to right: A. Ellett, S. Moore, Greeley, Sexton Standing, left to right: R. Rogers, E. Jordan, W.

Anne Ellett acted as general chairman of May Day with the following heads of commit- tees working under her direction: Rosalie Rog- ers, business manager; Betty Sexton, dance; Ada Claire Snyder and Elizabeth Jordan, mu- sic; Susie Moore, staging; Winifred Wright, transportation; and Charlotte Greeley, cos- tumes. Miss Emily Kaudarich was in charge with Miss Wheeler and Miss Her assisting her. We had debated as to whether or not we should have May Day, but when we saw the beautiful success of it on our library lawn, wc were glad we had not done aw T ay with this tradition. The grandeur that was Rome . Sigma Pi Rho 1 O show us how to be bet ' ter teachers of Latin, to preserve a love for the classics, and to build in us the high ideals of good scholarship are the purposes of Sigma Pi Rho, and to us it has meant just that. We have been a national honor organisation since 1935, and with each year comes the truer meaning of what our group stands for. Don ' t think for one minute that we are one of those organizations that just exist! One look into our informal meetings would be enough to change your mind. We edit The Tributum, our national publication; we learn how our own life has been so greatly influenced by the ancient Romans; and we study more about this language we love. One meeting in which a patriotic theme was so effectively arranged stands out. We said the pledge of allegiance to our flag, repeated the preamble of the constitu- tion, and sang America 11 — all in Latin. Our officers for the year were Violet Wood ' all, our president; Eleanor Boothe, our vice ' president; and Martha Anderson, our secretary and treasurer. Miss Rice, who meant even more to us than before, was our faculty adviser. Latin can never be a dead language to us. On the contrary, it lives. To us of Sigma Pi Rho it stands for something very much alive and exerting so much influence that our lives would never be the same without it. Seated, left to right: Jenkins, House, Dr. Walmsley, A. Price, Mr. Grainger, Woodall Standing, left to right: Boothe, F. Hawthorne, Culley, M. Bugg, M. Anderson, Miss Rice The Classic influence The Latin Club MEETING every third Thursday in the Language Room, the Latin Club, or the Sodalitas Latina, as it is more formally known, was open for membership to all those interested in Latin. Through it we tried to arouse feeling for this language used by the ancient Romans. With Miss Rice ' s touch and interpretation, it was far from being dead. At each meeting we said the United States pledge for allegiance to the flag, translated into Latin. Our programs were usually centered around some particular event and included any- thing from old Roman customs to translation- about famous people of our modern day. The Julian Calendar was used in arranging our pre grams. This calendar was the product of the efforts of the ancient Romans used in calculat ' ing their civil and festive days, and the social side of our club made our meeting days festive for us, too. There were always good things to eat, and we couldn ' t help laughing when some- thing about Clark Gable came surprisingly iorth translated into the most formal Latin! Leading our club of about twenty members this year were Marjorie Felts, our president: Elizabeth Walker, our vice-president: and Mar- gie Lee Culley, our secretary-treasurer. Miss Rice, with her seeming unsurpassed knowledge of Latin, was our faculty adviser. She gave us much of her time and was beloved by all of us. Front row, left to right: B. Edwards, F. Hawthorne, M.

' Practice maizes perfect . The Dramatic Club VjrIVING a play means many hours of work and worry, a breathless watching of the performance, and great satis- faction after it is over. From actresses to de- partment heads to stagehands, it is bur play. We know the suspense of waiting for the cast to be chosen — the periods of agonizing over costumes, staging, lighting — the long nights spent at rehearsals — Miss Wheeler ' s ability as director.

Jeanne Strick was head of the acting group; Nelle White, lighting; Lucille Lewis, make-up; Jane Smith and Brookie Benton, costuming; Susan Durrett, staging; Sally Robertson, properties; Pat Maddox, music; Jane Ruffin, publicity.

In the field of service Baptist Student Union J. HIS year was an outstand ' ing one for the B. S. U. because it marked the realisation of a long-cherished dream — a Bap- tist Student Center on our campus. Miss Poole, our Baptist Student Secretary, worked, planned, redecorated, and on the first day of school invited us over to the new center located in the Cactus Inn. The Young Woman ' s Auxiliary was organ- ised. We held a weekly devotional meeting, Master ' s Minority. We led the Thanksgiving Sunrise Service. Miss Ruth Walden, Mission- ary to Africa, and Miss Mary Nance Daniel, Southwide Baptist Student Secretary, were our guests this year. We sponsored Spiritual Life Week with Rev. Paul Crandall speaker.

The Cotillion Club E yARLY last fall we started our activities for the year by planning the first of our two Cotillion Club dances. Fall Cotil- lion, gala and glamourous, came in November, and invitations went out to V. P. I., V. M. I., Washington and Lee, and all points north, south, east, and west. An afternoon of hard work converted the gym into a charming dance floor, where members and guests and dates danced gaily to the music of Freddie Lee ' s or- chestra. Serving capably on the music com- mittee were Sarah Wade Owen, Shirley Pierce, and Sarah Massie Goode. Betty Sexton was in charge of decorations. Later in the fall we asked fifty upperclassmen to become members, and again in the winter w e had the excitement of voting when seventy-seven Freshmen and new girls were issued bids. Late in March we had our second dance, Spring Cotillion, with its tea dance in the after- noon and the formal that night. Helen Wiley Hardy, looking her loveliest, led the Cotillion members in the figure which was climaxed by the couples forming a huge V. And what could have pleased us more than to have As Time Goes By for the Cotillion no-break! The decoration gave evidence of the goats 1 having spent many long hours cutting, sewing, and tacking yards of green and yellow crepe paper into place, carrying out our club colors. Hal Thurston ' s orchestra furnished the music that ended all too soon. The week following Spring Cotillion brought us Goat Week, long-dreaded by the new mem- bers or goats. Monday and Tuesday were days of horror for them. It was probably discourag- ing for them to awaken an old member at day- break because she had told them to do so, and then to practically be thrown out of the room for doing it! Before the two days were over, rooms from Cunningham to Student were spot- less from repeated sweepings. Monday was W. A. A. C. Y. Day— We Are ' Arrible (hor- rible) Yearling ' s Day — and Tuesday brought us a school full of Baby Dumplings dressed in ruffled dress and fetching baby caps, and dis- gruntling classes with the clatter of rattles! All of us grew weary of baby talk before the end, and Goat Court Tuesday night was a happy time for everyone. Our new members had proved themselves good sports as well as hard workers! In our ambition to promote better dances at S. T. O, we have worked steadily, enjoying the necessary preparations, and finally, glowing in the glamour of the actual affairs. It has been our aim to uphold a part of the social life of Farmville, and we ' ve had grand fun doing it. Dorothy Childress, as president, tried to keep order when we were arguing over orches- tras and dates. Supporting her were Leona Moomaw, as secretary and treasurer, and Fran- ces Parham as business manager. Helen Wiley Hardy served the club as leader of the figures. Mr. Coyner again helped us as faculty adviser. Seated, left to right: Jarratt, L. Davis Standing, left to right: Jeffreys, Eason It ' s a family affair The Granddaughters Club IT seemed that from the time we were little girls we had heard our mothers talk about Farmville with a certain tone that they never used when speaking of everyday things. Not long after we came here ourselves, we found why they used that spe- cial tone when speaking of their alma mater, Farmville. And so, just as though it might be a link between our feelings and our mothers ' feelings about Farmville, we joined the Grand ' daughters Club. We were mystified as to why it was the Granddaughters Club when we were daugh- ters, not granddaughters, of the Farmville girls before us. It was then explained that the school was the grandmother, and that cleared up the mystery. What an interesting relationship! We knew we were off for a good year with Lucy Davis as our president; Sara Jeffreys, our vice ' president; Mary Ann Jarratt, our secre- tary; and Judy Eason, our treasurer. Miss Royall became our faculty adviser, taking Miss Mary Clay rimer ' s place. We were proud to have Miss Mary White Cox as our honorary member. Last fall to entertain the new members and to learn to know them better, we had an infor- mal party in the Rec. Miss Mary, Miss Hiner, and Miss Royall added their wit and personality to our little gathering. We were all thrilled to have thirty-six new girls become a part of us. Circus came along, and there were the usual confusion in decorating the booth, the excite- ment of raffling off the cake, and the glory (the most important) in counting our profit, which was bigger than usual! In the spring there was Founders ' Day on March 6, and our duties were mainly to show the Alumnae the places around the school that were once so familiar to them or the things that had changed since they left. We missed our usual tea at Longwood, but we all understood about the food shortage and transportation dif- ficulties. The entertainment committee was a new feature this year, started to stimulate interest in the meetings. We looked forward to these little programs and laughed with those taking part. Our club, by recalling the past and making plans for the future, was an important part in our life this year at college. May Farmville have more and more granddaughters like the ones we have known! Our minds on business The Commercial Club W E sat in the small audi ' torium waiting anxiously for Mr. Hallisy to explain why we were called there, little know ing the real opportunity for service that was about to be offered us. We were told that the Commercial Club, feeling that the emergency of war had brought with it many responsibili- ties and duties for all, and desiring to do its part, had changed the purpose of its organize tion from a social to a war service club. The members of the club believed that our Business Department was well enough equipped in per- sonnel and machines to aid all the governmental and social service organisations needing clerical help, and so it was planned for us to do such jobs as duplicating, taking dictation and trans- cribing, getting out form letters, filing, typing reports and other materials, and adding and checking figures on the calculating machines. Here, indeed, was the answer to the question, What can I, as a college girl, do to help my country in time of war? We feel that in our work for the rationing board, the bond sales committee, and the busi- ness men of Farmville, we did a small part to make the war come to a quicker end. Not only that, but we helped ourselves, too. We learned more about how offices are actually run; we gained poise and confidence; we pre- pared ourselves for better jobs; we received the background for valuable recommendations from business men. For Farmville, itself, we hope that through the war service project which we undertook, we have brought good publicity. Seated: Corvin Standing, left to right: O. Nelson, Langhorne, C. Caldwell Then, in the spring, we organized the sec- ond-hand book store down in the Commercial Department to make easier the transfer of used books. This project also offered good oppor- tunities in gaining practical business experience. Made up of business students, the Commer- cial Club had as our president this year, Mil- dred Corvin: our vice-president. Opal Nelson: our secretary, Nancy Langhorne: and our treasurer, Caroline Caldwell. Our faculty ad- viser was Mr. Myers. Also, Kirs. Wynne. Miss Craddock, and Mr. Hallisy were always willing to do what they could towards helping. Association Of Childhood Education J . WORLD at war and the teacher ' s responsibility for the child ' s welfare faced the Association of Childhood Education as a problem that needed to be worked on. We invited all third-year elementary education majors to become members and set to work. All our programs were centered around the emergency situation and the part we, as future teachers, shall play. The chapter ' s main project in previous years had been the adoption of a British war orphan. This year, feeling that the need at home was more acute, the project was changed to that of contributing some playground equipment to the Farmville Elementary School. The informal Christmas party was a delight- ful highlight of the year. The memories of Miss Mix ' s story and of crunching nuts and raisins while seated around the fireplace in Miss Haynes ' cozy living room will linger with each of us. Leading us in our projects was Margaret Kitchin, as president. Eleanor Feagans, vice- president, planned unusually helpful and in- spiring programs. Brookie Benton was treas- urer; Ann Lyons, secretary; and Jean Guy, chairman of the Ways and Means Committee. Miss Mary Haynes, our adviser, was inspira- tional in the guidance she gave to make all of us feel more at home in the elementary edu- cational world. Left to right: Benton, Feagans, Kitchin, Lyons Future Teachers Of America W E of the J. L. Jarman chap ' ter of Future Teachers of America have as our purpose helping prepare teachers for tomorrow through participation in programs and through information of recent trends in education. The chapter was begun on this campus four years ago, and for the fourth time this year we were among the gold star chapters of the nation. In the fall, with Kappa Delta Pi we spon ' sored a program of chapel talks on the campus during Education Week. The theme discussed was Education for Free Men. Our officers this year were Eleanor Feat- president; Betty Watts, vice-president: Jane Waring Ruffin, secretary: Mary Sterrett, treas- urer; Mary Franklin Woodward, reporter: Maxine Compton, librarian. Dr. F. S. Swert- feger continued as adviser for the group. In the fall we initiated Lyde Thompson, A ' nes Mitchell, Blanche Steele, and Olive Brad- shaw. For our programs this year we discussed the problems facing teachers and schools in today ' s war ' torn world. During the winter we had Dr. J. P. Wynne and Mr. Maclllwain as guest speakers. We kept in touch with developments in edu- cation through the journals of the National Education Association and the Virginia Edu- cation Association and the leaflets and books in our F. T. A. library. First step, left to right: S. Moore, E. Harvey, Feagans. Second step: Griffin, Sink Third step: D. Alvis, Laird, M. F. Woodward, Ruffin Back row: B. Watts, J.

It ' s indeed the loveliest and dearest spot on earth — and if you don ' t believe us — well, just ask Charlie Hop, who has been our adviser ever since we first organized in 1938. We know everyone loves Mr. French, but he ' s really ours because, after all, he comes from the Northern Neck. We are willing to admit that our aim is purely social, and we do socialize and have First row: Swarm, Mr. French, Knapp Second row: T. Hutt, E. J. Hall, Mrs. Turnbull, Marsh Standing: H. Hutt, R. E. Harvey a simply wonderful time. Well never forget our hamburger feast in Mr. Graham ' s yard in the fall. We had a lot of fun that evening, even though we did get a little homesick for the Northern Neck. We took off a little while from our play to write letters to high school girls from our vicin- ity to encourage them to choose Farmville as their alma mater, for we believed that they would love it as we do. Hershey Hutt led us this year as president; Ruth Ellen Harvey as vice-president; Theresa Hutt as secretary; Eleanor Hall as treasurer; and Mary Nancy Marsh as reporter. And, of course, we couldn ' t have gotten along without Charlie Hop as adviser and Mrs. Turnbull as sponsor. We had a ga rden, too . Home Economics Club Ri .EORGANIZED again this year, the Home Economics Club started out to solve some of the many problems of war ' time living. The purpose of the club was to make the influence of home economics felt through ' out the school. Home Economics majors turned out to be wonderful models. Smart sport suits made out of discarded clothes were modeled to emphasize conservation of materials. There were, also, dashing new tailored garments made in sewing classes to emphasize home sewing. When Miss Martha Creighton, supervisor of home economics education in Virginia, came to our campus in March, she spoke to our club on our work and our duties during these war times. At this meeting, we made definite plan= for clothes clinics and for nutritional check-ups in the college as our spring work. Our officers were Virginia Firesheets, presi- dent; Louise McCorkle, vice-president: Ada Clarke Nuckols, treasurer: Sue Harper, secre- tary. Miss Ruth Gleaves was our sponsor.

Even those girls who are unfortunate enough to be tone deaf do their best ... to the embarrassment of their more talented sisters. The choirs, how- ever, offer opportunity, good training, and ex- perience for those of us who can really sing. There is the College Choir, and composing a part of it, both the Junior and the Senior A ' Cappella Choirs. At supper there was always the announce ment Choir will meet at such and such an hour. Sunday afternoons were practice times, too. We practiced hard, and before long we were ready for our first public concert. On December 13 we gave our annual Christmas concert in conjunction with the glee club and soloists from Camp Pickett. It was fun to prac- tice with the boys, but it would have been even more fun if the uniforms which filled our halls had not reminded us that all was not peace on earth, good will to men. Through the year we of the choir and A ' Cappella groups have furnished musical background for the series of morale building programs. We sponsored two of these pro- grams: Mr. Philip Noble ' s illustrated talk on The England We Have Known, and a con- cert of war songs and songs of our Allies. Again on Founders Day, March 6, we sang for the assembled group of alumnae and students. However, our red letter month was April! We waited for it with breathless expectancy. For it was then that we were to go to New York and sing in the great church of St. Thomas. Then, we united our voices with the choirs from Harvard and Duke Universities and the choir of the church. We also, with the Harvard and Duke students, broadcast to the whole nation over N. B. C. We had looked forward to it eagerly through all those month- of practice back at Farmville, and it was even more wonderful than we had ever dreamed it would be. We sang Brahm ' s Requiem both over the air Saturday afternoon and at St. Thomas ' s Church on Palm Sunday afternoon at 5:00 p. m. This was our second visit to the church, a return invitation of which we were very proud. We helped Dr. Tertius Noble celebrate his 30th anniversary of service in the church. While in New York, we gave a short concert for Farmville alumnae. Returning schoolward once more, we re- newed our efforts, giving programs for the various clubs of Farmville, such as the Rotary Club, the Woman ' s Club, and the Lion ' s Club. Then came commencement day, the last time many of us were to wear the choir robes of S. T. C. We sang sadly, but hopefully, as the Seniors became graduates and alumnae. Front row, left to right: J.

Nichols, M. Page, C. Beard From Old England . . Madrigal Singers JVIaDRIGAL singers origi- nated many years ago in England when the people gathered in taverns to sing the popular songs of the day. At first they sang rounds. These simple rounds developed into canons and finally into the madrigals and motets we sing in our representation of the 16th century friars. Our first public appearance of this past year was made at the Christmas Concert on De ' cember 15. Seated around our table, we sang Veus Languores, Adoremus Te, and Si- lent Night. Some of our songs are religious, and these are usually in Latin. But we have more light, happy numbers in English, and some in French and Italian. This year we enlarged the Madrigal group to include a large number of apprentices who worked with us but who did not appear when the group sang in public. In February we sang at a meeting of the Farmville Woman ' s Club. But our biggest thrill was the trip to New York in April when we sang for the New York chapter of Farmville alumnae. We sang Sister Awake and several other favorites. This year the group of Madrigal singers con- sisted of Beth Johnson, Margaret Lovins, Dor- othy Cummings, Jerry Titmus, Lucy Messick, Jean Prosise, Josephine Shaffner, Ann Blair, Virginia Richards, Marie Nichols, and Pat Maddox. Seated, left to right: Blair, Hitchings, M. Nickols, L. Messick, Beard, M. Lovins, Maddox, B. Johnson Standing: Miss Richards ' Sing we America . The Choral Club IN poetic language the Choral Club has been called the cradle of the Choir. But those of us who have been mem- bers of this organization can appreciate more the practical significance that lies in such a statement. Drawing on our new war vocabu- lary we might say that in the Choral Club we received our basic training for the later, more serious work of the Choir. We could borrow quite a few of Mr. Web ' ster ' s adjectives to describe the exuberant per- sonality of our director, Miss Richards. But we think it is enough to say that she rated tops with us. Sometimes we must have tried her patience severely when we persisted in sing ' ing fortissimo although the score was plainly marked pianissimo. The big news of the year, as far as we were concerned, came with the announcement by Mr. Strick that the Choral Club was to have a new name. In the issue of the summer catalog it would become known officially as the Junior Choir. This affiliation with the regular Choir seemed to give us added prestige. The Christmas concert, given with the Choir and the Camp Pickett Glee Club, was our most important public appearance of the season. Afterwards we went caroling. Front row, left to right: J. Davis, N.

Kersey (CENSORED) Chi OlNCE its beginning in ] 900 Chi has held an important, but not con- spicuous, place on our campus in its endeavors to keep alive the spirit peculiar to Farmville and to Farmville students. Working with Stu- dent Government, we have had as our primary purpose to improve the understanding of the student body in regard to the high standards of conduct for which Farmville is known. We have had the cooperation of certain members of the faculty who have helped the group to function more wisely and efficiently. We knew our fellow students wondered who we were, when and how we met, how we got our banner up for Color Rush, and how we painted our warnings without being seen. We had to be careful, for we knew that secrecy was necessary for us to carry on our activities quickly and without harmful publicity. To us Chi was more than a mere organiza- tion. It was a spirit as old as our school based on the qualities of true friendship. As the identity of each of us became known, we real- ized that outstanding among the many mem- ories of Farmville ' s many traditions which will stay with us as outstanding events and inde- scribable feelings will be Chi with its bonfire, its banners, its atmosphere of secrecy, and its lasting friendships that will never, never, never sever. Those of us who are graduating this year are: Agnes Patterson, Shirley Turner, Betty Boutchard, Ann Ware Smith, Frances Parham, Anne Ellett, Betty Youngberg, and Sarah Wade Owen. Betty Repass was also a member. 1 1 1 f i n Alpha Sigma Alpha Sitting, left to right: N. Allen Smith, Francis, Fauntleroy, Kneeling: Kunz, Gillum, I. Page Standing: Guy, Pollard, W. Wright a rAILY we arrived back at school in September with prosp ects of a whole glorious year spreading out ahead of us. Our ardor was not even dimmed by the job of straightening up the chapter room, where we had packed all those things we couldn ' t pos ' sibly get in our suit-cases last spring. Of course, for a while not much in the way of work was accomplished, for we were busily plying each other with Did you know? and Have you heard? Keith and Judy finally inherited all of Carolyn and Polly ' s four-year collection of cob lege goods. During November we started the social sea- son by having our Founder ' s Day Banquet in the tea-room. We went all out for red, white, and blue, and our patriotic theme was gay and colorful. Later, deciding to try a little interior decorating in our chapter room, we splurged on some Venetian blinds and the most be-yoo- ti-ful new draperies. We all agreed it looked lovely. Then along came fall rushing, and our new member was Pat Garth. As the Christmas season drew near, Alpha Sigs were seen knitting gaily colored wool into squares. These were made into a blanket for the hospital ward at Camp Pickett. As the Camp also expressed a desire for a rose garden, our Christmas present to the boys there was a hundred rosebushes. Before we went home for the Christmas holi- days, we decorated a tree and had our annual Christmas party. The evening started at five- thirty with a buffet supper, and afterwards came magic music, rakish rimes, and a parade of presents. Miss Moran presented the chapter with a record album containing the wonderful melodies from Holiday Inn. The holidays sped by on wings, and when we returned to school, our thoughts turned to winter rushing. During this time, the chapter room was filled with laughter and the sound of new voices. The ouija board proved most popular, and Hebie Allen ' s song and act brought great applause. The week of fun termi ' nated in the pledge party, where we welcomed our future members with affection, doughnuts, and cokes. The pledges were Gloria Allen, Ruth Brooks, Nancy Belle Bruce, Lillian El ' liott, Betsy Owen, Jean Riddick, Ann Shelor, Kitty Shelbourne, Billy Waid, Mary Walker Watts, Ruth Williams, and Sarah Woodward. Throughout the year, we rolled bandages for the Red Cross, with Nancye Allen as head of this work. Pagie Francis was in charge of the records for the vie, and she added many a hit to our list. Our spring banquet was cancelled because of the war situation. To Nancye Allen, our president: Winifred Wright, our vice ' president; Dottie Sue Sim ' mons, our secretary; Ella Marsh Pilkinton, our treasurer, and Miss Grace Moran, our faculty adviser, we give hearty thanks for their grand work. With graduation here, we take sorrow ' ful leave of our Seniors. We are going to miss them badly, and it will be hard to fill the places they leave empty. To all of them, we wish a heartfelt good luck. Front row. left to right: Kiger. Eason. Bingham. Upshur. Palmer Kneeling: Baughman. Sampson Third row: L. Moss. Hedgecock. Dowell.

Andrews, Ford, Looney Alpha Sigma Tau W HEN we entered the chapter room of Alpha Sigma Tau on the open- ing day of school in September, we had a hard time reconciling the picture before our eyes with the remembered beauty of our room. The furniture, draped in its summer white, stood like ghostly sentinels guarding the hundred and one sundry personal articles we had left stored in the chapter room for the summer. In a grand rush we set about the business of removing our belongings and bringing order out of the gen- eral confusion. When the homey atmosphere was once again restored, we were satisfied. It was not long before we had a merry old get-together of all Alpha Sigma Taus. Exchang- ing choice tid-bits of news and exciting experi- ences of the summer vacation, we must have sounded like magpies, chatting away in the chapter room. We soon calmed down and turned to the more serious matter of making plans for the coming year. Topmost in our planning we put possible contributions to the war effort. Carrying this into effect, we learned the fine art of rolling bandages; we helped in other Red Cross work. We re-emphasized our duty as loyal Americans to buy war stamps and bonds. Turning to the lighter side of building morale, all of us at- tended the U. S. O. dances. We voted for physical fitness and consumer education in a decided affirmative. A unique feature of our war program was the drawing of names and preparing boxes which were sent to service men every two weeks. We now look back on a most successful year. Without the excellent advice of Miss Virginia Bedford, whose thorough understanding and invaluable assistance proved most helpful, our year would not have been so successful. Char- lotte Greeley, as president, directed all of our activities; Jean Arington assisted her as vice- president; Ada Claire Snyder performed the duties of secretary; Inez Jones balanced our budget; Nell Pritchett, editor, represented the chapter in all literary matters. In November the Zeta Taus gathered at Longwood for a banquet in celebration of the founding of our national organization. The candlelight ceremony lent dignity to our cele- bration. Instead of the usual corsages of roses, war stamp corsages were presented. The time drew near when there were just so many shopping days until Christmas. We trim- med a lovely pine tree for our annual Christmas party in the chapter room. By the time we had completed our decorating we were really in the spirit of things. Soft candlelight created a party atmosphere, and the lights and the pine boughs of the tree glowed in radiant loveliness telling us that it was a very special one indeed. Louise Andrews was master of ceremonies. Always in our memories will linger the inspiring Christ- mas story told to us by Miss Nichols. After- wards, there was an exchange of gifts. We later turned these gifts over to the Social Wel- fare of Farmville for distribution in Christmas baskets. January 7 found all of us back at school with bright recollections of the Christmas vacation spent with the family, of too much turkey, fruit cake, and nuts, of Christmas parties at home, and of all the other things girls talk about when they come back, and one could sense the wish running through all minds that it would be pleasant if we could just turn back the leaf of the calendar to December. We had hardly gotten settled when we looked around and January was gone. February had a special significance for us because four days of its twenty-eight constituted our Rush Week. In preparation for its advent we did winter cleaning. What a refreshed appearance the chapter room took on! After four days of excitement colored by suspense, bids were is- sued on Thursday night. The girls pledged were Carolyn Bobbitt, Anna Lee Blanton, Jane Danby, Mildred Droste, Mary Virginia Evans, Cleo Frick, Ruth Garrison, Lucille Jones, Leah Ann Jordan, Elizabeth McLean, and Jean Woodward. The actives entertained for the new pledges with a coke and nab party in the chapter room. In place of the annual spring picnic for the seniors we substituted a Sunday night supper at Longwood. We solved the transportation problem by walking out to Longwood. As Front row, left to right: Cammack, I. Jones. C. Pittard, Fifer Second row: B. Johnson. Arington, M. L. Pittard. M.

Gamma Theta WHEN the fall of 1942 came to Farmville, and Gamma Thetas were gathering once more, there was no reminiscing of our usual house party at Virginia Beach, for there had been none. Instead, the little groups in the chapter room were heard discussing how many bandages ' The Whittle had rolled dur ' ing the summer, how well Betty Sexton could change a tire, and how Kyle Ainsworth had worked at the naval recruiting office. War work was definitely the topic of conversation. However, the Vic was soo n well dusted and drafted into immediate home duty. Even before our schedules were straight, Nimmo was back from Tech to thrill us with her new miniature. Hannah Lee Crawford and E. Banks Weathers were tapped by Alpha Kappa Gamma during the fall. Soon plans for fall rushing were under way. We speculated and hoped, and when silence came, we were all a-dither as to what the final outcome would be. When the tension was finally over, we were proud to pledge Ann Blair, Becky Lacy, Mary Ann Biggs, Vivian Gwaltney, and Lucy Davis as future Gamma Thetas. Though right in the midst of exams, we were not too busy to attend a wonderful Christmas party given us just before the holidays by the fall pledges. We felt filled with the Christmas spirit as we gathered around the lighted tree to sing carols and exchange presents. Everyone had a big laugh over Youngberg ' s rolling pin and felt sorry for poor Sonny. Right after the holidays, the news came to us of Nancy DuVaFs wedding in Richmond. Left to right: S. Scott, J. Scott, Mish, Crawford, Whittle, Payne Though it meant losing her, we were thrilled over the happiness we knew was hers. With the winter quarter, too, came Miggie ' s never ' ending conversation about her practice teach ' ing. But even that did not occupy her too much to cause neglect of her House Council duties. When the Pan-Hellenic Council announced the date of rushing, we realized that the climax of the year was at hand. Afternoon at homes brought us for our very own Ann Martin, Betty Brothers, Minnie Lee Crumpler, Margie Hewlett, Mary Crank, Rosemary Elam, Louisa Dawson, Margaret Harvie, Lucie Harvie, Anne Jones, Martha White, and Elizabeth Ann Jor- dan. Gayly we donned our traditional blue pajamas for our Baby Gammies the night rushing was over. We had quite a joke when the records we ordered especially for rushing arrived triumphantly after rushing was over! Then came the banquet in the tea room to entertain the new girls while everyone was still glowing in the excitement of rushing. The tea given by Ann and Becky at Miss Stubb ' s apartment and the spring picnic at Longwood, complete with hot dogs and buns, helped keep the year alive with social interest. Calling our meetings to order (which con- sisted mostly of persuading Pee Payne and Sexton to stop dancing), was Betty Young- berg, our head. Charlotte Phillips was our vice- head: Miggie Mish, our secretary; and Leona . Moomaw, our treasurer. Miss Stubbs was our faculty adviser. Sunday afternoon parties, bridge in the chapter room, playing new records — all the little everyday things — stand out and make our Gamma Theta life at S.T.C. unforgettable. Front row: Diggs, Wentzel, Nimmo Second row: C. Phillips, L.

The first thing we did was to rush to the chapter room to claim our various belongings stored there during the summer. Fin ' ally, we cleaned out the mothball haven and started on plans for fall rushing. The first social event of the year came when Miss Wheeler invited us all to a delicious spag ' hetti supper. Our next big activity was a Hal- loween party in honor of our two new pledges, Marion Orange and Alice Wooding. With the Christmas spirit fast filling the air, the Mu Omegas got together one Saturday afternoon and decorated the chapter room with pine, candles, and a tree — all the accessories for our Front row, left to right: Bradshaw, Calvert, A.

Here we exchanged our usual presents with appropriate rhymes and satisfied our appetites with ice cream and chocolate sauce. Then suddenly, we were back from the Christmas holidays, and winter rushing had be- gun. Our chapter room gained the colorful ap- pearance of a gypsy ' s tent, for undoubtedly, general taste ran to fortune telling. It was sur- prising to find so many palm readers and hand- writing analysts in one room! Thursday night ended the festive week, and the future Mu O ' s were Betty Adams, Eleanor Bisese, Aloise Bos- well, Shirley Cruser, Rosa Hill, Emily Hump- hries, Nancy In gle, Rosalie Jones, Betty Jeanne Nixon, Jacqueline Parden, Catherine Prebble, Janet Sollenberger, Frances Shackelford, Jac- queline Showalter, and Isabel Willson. The week ' s activities were climaxed by the Valentine Pledge party given in the chapter room, where there was an abundance of food, gayety, and chatter. Toast of the evening was Marilyn Bell, who made a very charming cupid, drape-shaped in a white sheet. To each of the pledges, Cupid distributed heart-shaped valen- tines, and each had a song on the Vic dedicated to her. To the strains of You Were Never Lovelier and At Last, we ended our party. We all agreed that the faculty-student party that the pledges gave us was one of the chip- perest parties we had ever attended. Because of the war situation, many of our social affairs were cancelled, but we still en- joyed our Sunday afternoon teas, made even more attractive this year by our beautiful silver service which the alumnae gave us. It was grand welcoming the alumnae back in April to our spring banquet at Longwood. The Chapter this year was enthusiastically directed by Miss Leola Wheeler, our faculty adviser. Betty Reid was our president with Sara Wayne France second in command. Helen Cobbs ably kept our minutes and the roll, and Mary Evelyn Pearsall held the purse strings. Marilyn Bell was our Pan-Hel representative, with Jane Smith as alternate. Anne Moore kept in touch with the alumnae, and Lilly Bee Gray edited the alumnae magazine, ' The Circle. Birdie Williams was our chaplain: Sara Eschan was our long - suffering housekeeper: Brookie Benton worried about properties: Shir- ley Pierce made our scrap-book one of the most original; and Jo Shaffner was head of the social committee. Proudly we hailed the Pan-Hel Plaque for scholarship on our wall, and alto- gether the year will be tops on our list of pleas- ant memories. Lett to right: France, L. Gray. S. Pierce. A. Moore. J. E.

Miller Phi Zeta Sigma iNOTHER year has passed for us to look back on with satisfaction and pleasure as we review here briefly its highlights of events which concern Phi Zeta Sigma. Our opening meeting of the year found our group shyly displaying diamonds and relating interesting episodes of the summer. When we got down to business, an election took place for a new vice-president, for Lee Foster, who was to have filled this position, did not return to school this year. We selected Phyllis Ann Butler, who had shown her unwavering loyalty and enthusiasm for the work of the chapter. Estelle Smith, our president, in her serene man- ner which we all learned to love, reigned over us royally and well. Many thanks and much appreciation are due our secretary, Catherine May; our treasurer, Lucille Cheatham; our cor- responding secretary, Alice Feitig; our Pan- Hellenic representative, Ann Lyons; and our social chairman, Ada Clarke Nuckols. Their fine and cheerful service inspired the rest of us to do our best. We all agreed that the punch that Ada Clarke prepared for our gay inter- mission parties would ever remain something of unique delightfulness. Then came our great decision to obtain ad- ditional trimmings for our chapter room. This incurred much excited planning and many jolly shopping expeditions to Richmond in quest of the unusual and the beautiful. After several weeks of deliberation, plans, and the actual shopping tours, we were rewarded for our efforts with two exquisite prints, a coffee table, a new radio table, and a lovely floor lamp. We were as happy as children with new toys and hurried to thank our adviser, Miss Wilhelmina London, for her valuable suggestions regarding our selections. Tommy, Miss London ' s little dog, was our mascot. We thoroughly enjoyed his frequent attendance at our meetings this year. His pres- ence greatly added to the cozjness and enjoy- ment of the chapter room. Added to our circle in the fall were Mary Elizabeth Grizaard of Drewryville and Mary Thompson Sterrett of Raphine. It was also in the fall that Miss London and Tommy gave us the delightful tea in their home. Our alumnae made many contributions to- wards our concentrated war effort by establish- ing a fund with which we purchased several War Bonds. Founders Day was a cause for double cele- bration. Of course it was a memorable occasion for us, and it was made especially so by the return of so many of our former members. A tea that afternoon gave us a wonderful oppor- tunity for reminiscences and gayety. Among those who returned were Sue Marshall, Martha Frances Cobb, Evelyn Pankey, Sarah Seward, and Nahrea Coleman, all graduates in the class of ' 42. Because of our present world war crisis, we had to cut down on our social activities this year. Our spring banquet and our usually elab- orate Christmas celebrations and Valentine party were very much simplified. But they were still festive and gay with the spirit of Phi Zeta Sigma. Many of our members went to Richmond one Saturday in January to attend the wedding of Nancy Langhorne Kerse to Lt. Robert W. D. Guthrie. Nancy was a senior member of Phi Zeta Sigma and Bob had just graduated from West Point. Wedding bells also chimed for several of our former members of the chap- ter. Among them were Lee Foster of Farm- ville, Lorraine Hurst of Susan, and Margaret Thomas of Richmond. Our maintenance of high scholastic standing among the sororities was a source of great satis- faction to us, for we are ever eager to obtain for Phi Zeta Sigma the coveted scholarship placque awarded by the Pan-Hellenic Associa- tion to the chapter with the highest scholastic average. Miss London, our adviser, was ever behind us in all we did and stood for. Her enthusiasm, cooperation, and kindness constituted a vital force in our organization. We were certain that winter rushing would be exciting, and it was. The twelve pledging Phi Zeta Sigma were Helen Carpenter of Rich- mond, Evelyn Grizzard of Drewryville, Lelia Holloway of Purdy, Isabel Key of Bedford, Seated, left to right: Bear, R. Saunders, A.

London Margaret Lawrence of Windsor, Polly Moore of Chatham, Virginia Radogna of Purdy, Mary Sue Spradlin of Roanoke, Kitty Taylor of Austinville, Viola Turner of Floyd, Faith Weeks of Purdy, and Virginia Wells of For- rest. We closed our year with plans for a hay ride and picnic as a farewell gesture to our de- parting senior members — Nancy Kerse Guth- rie, Ann Lyons, Catherine May. Ada Clarke Nuckols, Jane Lee Sink, and Estelle Smith. And so another year for Phi Zeta Sigma has passed. It leaves with each of us fond memories mingled with a resolve to uphold the standards and the true meaning of our sisterhood. Pi Kappa Sigma When college days are over, Our paths lie different ways Still memories are golden, Of dear old Pi Kap days. I ES, and from our toast song come vivid pictures of bridge in Miss Iler ' s apartment on cold winter afternoons, the tons of good food we have eaten in the tea room, and the dash to the chapter room for a short chat between classes or to linger over the vie to get the words to That Old Black Magic exactly right. The first excitement of the year was fall rushing, which brought us Will Hall and Gus ' sie Himes as pledges. After that, the days seemed to roll by almost too quickly, bringing with them in quick succession Circus, with our own Sarah Wade reigning over it; Founders ' Day in November, celebrated with a banquet in the tea room which was also to honor our new pledges; then Christmas and with it Senior Dance, where all eyes turned to Betty Bout ' chard, leading the figure and trying very hard to look dignified. Exams turned the chapter room into a melee of physics notes, math pap- ers, tea-pots, and pajamed girls, with the oc- casional strain of White Christmas thrown in to dream on. The Christmas party made exams end with a more cheerful note, and we trekked homeward for the holidays. We were thrilled in January to have one of our old girls, Elsie Dodd (Mrs. Fred Haislip) Front row, left to right: Hawthorne, Boutchard, S.

Mrs. Neidig, our national president, was unable to visit us because of travel conditions. Then came winter rushing, long looked forward to and well re warded, with pledges Virginia Shackelford, Jeanne Richardson, Connie Oslin, Mary Foster, Katherine Lynch, Nancy Lee Weeks, and Julie Hunt. Balmy spring weather arrived, and thoughts turned to sunbathing on the roof, print dresses, and walks to Longwood. Rehearsals for May Day were interrupted by the spring banquet. May Day itself was made beautiful by Dot Childress, who was queen, with Betty Boutch- ard, ■Twitch Ellett, Amy Read, and Martha Higgins making lovely members of the court. At our Senior party we bade farewell to Amy Read, Ann Covington, Sarah Wade Owen, Betty Boutchard, Margaret Bowling, Emily Westcott, Sugar Scott, Kitty Parrish, Alice Seebert, and Dot Childress. Those who gave so much of their own time to us were Betty Boutchard, our president, with her ready wit and never-ending tales of her children ; Dot Childress, second in com- mand, with her frequent trips to Tech: Vir- ginia Mae Ellett, our corresponding secretary, both lovely and intelligent: Alice Seebert, re- cording secretary, forever running to the Prac- tice House to sling together a few leftovers: and Kitty Parrish, our treasurer, who may be little but really gets around. Our alumnae secretary, Miss Royall, helped prevent chapter meetings from becoming too uproarious. Miss Her, our faculty adviser, was, as always, an inspiration to the high ideals for which Pi Kap- pa Sigma stands. Front row, left to right: Nottingham, Trower, A. Read, V. Ellett, K.

Soon it was back to normal — the scene of intimate groups hashing over the summer — and the room was made ready for the many good times we had there. There were meetings of the chapter, interims ' sion parties, and just plain gab ' fests after lunch and at vacant periods. Alpha chapter felt sure of a good year with Jac Hardy, as our president, to lead us. Shirley Turner was vice-president; Margaret Kitchin, recording secretary; Betty Bridgforth, corrc sponding secretary; and Patsy Connelly, treas ' urer. Just as before, Miss Pauline Camper, through her encouraging guidance, was our able faculty adviser. We were especially hon ' ored in the fall to have Mabel Lee Walton, our national president, with us. Winter rushing, the most anticipated and most exciting time of the year, finally came in February. From Monday to Thursday we chewed nails until finally at the end, we were proud to have this list as our pledges: Jane Bentley, Freddie Ann Butt, Emily Carper, Jane Crump, Natalie Carroll, Frances Craddock, Minnie Rose Hawthorne, Lillian Goddin, Bea ' trice Jones, Frances Lee, Patsy McCullock, Kitty Maddox, Jane McFall, Carlotta Nor- fleet, Dorothy Overcash, Glenn Ann Patterson, Jane Philhower, Jeanne White, Charles Anna Price, Peggy Ross, Frances Satterfield, Helen Stites, Claire Parker Westbrook, Agnes Stokes, and Ann Hardy Williams.

This time, however, in our planning for Theta Sigma Upsilon we placed any possible contri- bution we could make to the war effort above everything else. Quite willingly we had given up our sum- mer house party in deference to the transports tion problem. Now as members of the Home Front we wanted to do our part in making those words mean more than just a war ex- pression. Attending dances for the men in uniform at the Armory and at Camp Pickett was really pleasure disguised as a patriotic duty. With other organizations in school we took our turn acting as hostesses at the Recreation Center downtown. We tried to keep up the financial end of our bargain with Uncle Sam by purchasing our quota of defense stamps. Rolling bandages for the Red Cross became a must in our extra-cur- ricula activities. We adopted the Physical Fit- ness program with a great deal of enthusiasm and encouraged more active participation in sports by our members. Our Chief Executive was Anne Price, who made a charming second term president. Evi- dently, public opinion was for the Annes be- cause in the vice-president ' s chair was Anne Garnett. As secretary, Alice Belote attended to the more routine matters. Frances Quillen was treasurer. A grand get-together for all Theta Sigs ma- terialized in a tea given by Miss Helen Draper, our faculty adviser, in her apartment. As teas usually go, it was a chatty affair. Summer vaca- tion, war, politics, the Army, the Navy, and the Marines — what a discussion we had over our teacups! Our fall rushing brought us Iris Ferguson, Alyce Fulton, Catherine Hutton, Betty Love, and Elizabeth McCoy. We redecorated our chapter room this year. What an amazing difference new slip covers made in the appearance of old furniture! New- ly-painted walls of pale blue were complement- ed by a wine rug. In our comfy, but at the same time beautiful, surroundings we were tempted to call the chapter room our home away from home. Goblins, ghosts, and witches came to play with us in the chapter room on Halloween. Anne Garnett and Frances Quillen were the hostesses at our party. All the old favorite games appropriate to the occasion were revived. And there was food, the most important detail of any party given for and by college girls. Both the decorations and the refreshments were carried out in the spirit of Halloween. It was a spooky old time for everybody. We tried to observe Christmas in the tra- ditional way. We became imbued with the Christmas spirit as we decorated the chapter room with running cedar and trimmed the tree as a prelude to our Christmas party. The fact that we ran into trouble fixing the lights and blew out several fuses only made the occasion more pleasantly exciting. Our Victory wreath on the door received admiring Oh ' s and Ah ' s from every one who passed that way. The long anticipated event, our Christmas party, arrived at last. Miss Draper was guest of honor. Anne Price, Alice Belote, and Ruth Fraughnaugh were hostesses. Hungry Theta Sigs welcomed the hot cocoa and sandwiches and goodies. After the merrymaking was over, thankful voices joined in the singing of the beloved old Christmas carols. Our song program would have been incomplete had we not added L ' White Christmas. If men in the uniform of the United States serving in distant parts of the world could have seen the far-away light that came into eyes as we sang I ' m dreaming of a white Christmas, just like the ones we used to know, they would have been glad. They would know that we had not forgotten, and that we at home, just as much as they, are look ' ing forward to the time When the Lights Go On Again. Our Christmas party became for all of us an expression of the desire to keep alive the old customs even in a time of war. Winter rushing brought us Lucy Bowling, Evelyn Faw, Alice Green, Hazel Phillips, Naomi Major, and Catherine Williams. We celebrated our Founders ' Day with a lovely banquet at Longwood. Intermission par- Left row, front to back Wiseman, H. Martin Right row, front to back: Hobson, Prosise, Sayre jJctS Leatherbury, Akers. E. Elam, Ames, Johns, Fraughnaugh, ties for S. T. C. dances highlighted the regular routine of school life. The Pan-Hel dance was a gala occasion. Plenty of uniforms were in evi- dence, and lots of dates were wearing the Theta Sigma rose. Breakfasts in the chapter room, though not always of ham and eggs, were still very spe- cial and worth the sacrifices of that extra hour of sleep. It has been a good year with the always per- fect combination of work and play. And we owe much of our progress toward the attain- ment of that richer, fuller lire to our member- ship in Theta Sigma L ' psilon. Pan-Hellenic Council V.yUR embarrassment was added to by the Freshmen ' s bewilderment when we offered no excuse for not spending week ' end nights together, after we had just finished gorging ourselves on their box from home, but these Pan-Hellenic rules had to be kept even by those who didn ' t quite understand them. Time brought meaning, however, and when winter rushing was finally over, such things were our topic of conversation. At the opening of the box holding ' ' Ac- cepts and Regrets, those of us on the Pan- Hellenic Council were excited, more tense each day. Our purpose was to establish a fine feel- Second row, left to right Gleaves, S. W. Owen Lyons, M. Bell, H. Hardy, J. Scott Hobson, Costello, A. Smith, Miss ing among the sororities, helping them to func- tion as a co-operative whole, rather than as eight rival groups. When there was any doubt about a rule, we ran to Sarah Wade Owen, our president, for she could always help us. Each sorority had a representative on the council. They were Ann Ware Smith, Carroll Costello, Jane Hobson, Ann Lyons, Helen Wiley Hardy, Jane Scott, and Marilyn Bell. The chapter heads and alter- nates were also representatives. Miss Gleaves, our adviser, was invaluable both to us and to the rushees. Pan-Hellenic Dance came in April, and it was really a big success — plenty of stags and plenty of attractive dates! } II II T S n Sharing our fun . . . A. A. Council WAR Day, when Major Graves addressed the Student Body, was the dawn of a new era at Farmville. The Athletic Association, cooperating with the Physical Fit ' ness Committee of the War Council, sponsored student discussions. Many were the lazy per ' sons coaxed from their shells to wake up with screaming muscles and creak .jg bones as a re suit. In the group discussions, all of us had agreed that we needed exercise but never quite got around to it. The students voted that we should adopt a new physical fitness program that would provide for three hours of exercise a week for each girl. Classes in dancing, mili ' Seated: Connelly Standing, left to right: Hillsman, S. Turner, Miss Her, Dugger tary tactics, and many other sports were start ' ed, and everyone realized that the primary function of muscles is to move. As always, the A. A. offered varied sports: hockey, basketball, swimming, tennis, ping ' pong, badminton, and volley ball. Color rush was a great day. Remember how we yelled ourselves hoarse to the accompaniment of the pounding feet of the racers in the halls? More of the buildings fluttered green and white than red and white by the end of the racing. Again on Song Day we supported our coh ors. The rafters of the auditorium almost lost their equilibrium as each class submitted an original school and color song. The junior and senior classes tied, and the prize ox war stamps was divided. The contest was followed by talks by the members of the executive council of the A. A., featuring the tradition back of the color cup. jar spgp r mxmjw .mm m ' mmm Every Saturday night we broke the week ' end monotony by inviting the students to Play Night. Gallons of water were splashed from the pool; ping-pong balls flew fast and furious; cards were dealt for a hand of bridge. Cocoa and doughnuts climaxed the evening. We spent one week-end at Longwood . Noth- ing could have dampened our high spirits. The surprise attack of the wasps with their menac- ing stingers, the freezing weather, and the hard beds just served to make us highly amused. After all, who could ask for more than the pioneering atmosphere of The Caoin — with our own adventures in the culinary art! This year ' s emphasis on the importance of physical well-being, has put us on the alert, and has also furnished us with a bit of most enjoy- able limelight. ( )ur resident was Hallie Hillsman : our vice- president, Shirley Turner; secretary, Patsy Connelly; treasurer, Ruth Dugger. Miss Her made a wonderful adviser. Members of the Council were: Jean Carr, manager of Fresh ' man basketball; Mildred Droste, varsity swim- ming; Ellen Ebel, class swimming; Sara Hardy, assisted by Helen Wilson, hockey: Sara Jeffreys and Margaret Kitchin, archery; Rosalie Rog- ers, assisted by Lucy Manson, social: Sarah Wade Owen, varsity basketball: Frances Par- ham, tennis; Ann Price, posters and publicity: Bobby Scott, gf eral basketball: Dottie Sue Simmons, ping-pong; Eleanor Wade, badmin- ton; Elizabeth Walls, volley ball: and Shirley Pierce, reporter for The Rotunda.

You do want your class to win, don ' t you? Well, you ' d better buy a color and prove it! Thus Elizabeth Walls and Ellen Ebel en- livened the table in the hall. The time was Thanksgiving. That afternoon everyone went to the athletic field to see whether or not the Freshmen would wear their rat caps until Christmas. Everywhere we heard, Red and White. No, Green and White, and an oc ' casional Cokes and candy for sale from Ros- alie Rogers. Between selling colors and refresh ' ments and speculating about hockey and color rush, this was a busy time for us. Front row, standing, left to right: A. Price, Walls, Parham Seated: S.

Ellett Leading the Monogram Club this year was Jean Carr, who proved that she knew the mean- ing of fair play and that she had an active in- terest in athletics. Assisting her were Frances Parham, vice-president; Sarah Wade Owen, secretary and treasurer. Our adviser was Miss Her. Last fall we introduced our new monogram, designed by Anne Price, on our Circus booth. We will always remember how we labored to put our colors, blue and white, in place. That night, in spite of bruised fingers and aching feet, we stood within our booth and sold bingo cards and corn to circus-goers. When we look back over the year one word jumps into the limelights — hikes. We tramped all over the country near school, but our walks always led us back to Longwood and a bun. Kcr ' Splash H 2 Club OATURDAY night the swimming pool was open for the fun and frolic of the college girls. The H-O club is the or ' ganisation that looked after this. We saw that the suit-room was open; we served as lifeguards. We had a grand time ourselves. During the fall quarter we took in new mem ' bers and gave a party for them at Miss Bar ' low ' s apartment. Miss Her was also our guest at the party. We sponsored the Inter-class Swimming Meet during the winter with the class swim- mers splashing in a fight far their points for the color cup. We also sponsored the Intercollegi- ate Telegraphic Meet, in which our swimmers swam here at Farmville and sent in their scores to be compared with those of the other colleges participating. When the final results were tele- graphed back and forth, excitement was great. Ellen Ebo Ebel was our president this year: Mildred Droste, our secretary-treasurer; and Miss Barlow, our adviser.

Orchesis Recognizing talent and interest in modern dance. Orchesis brings them together in an organization. The creative ap- proach to dance through group interest has been our purpose, and we have carried it out through a number of programs. At Christmas we gave our traditional program at Sing with special music and lighting for greater effective ness. The annual recital given in March was our chief project for the year. Featured in the recital was Shall the Living Die, based on Edna St. Vincent Millay ' s Murder of Lidice. Outstanding, too, were Lamentations, a solo study of sorrow, composed and danced by Betty Sexton; Revival, a group dance; and Blackout Blues, a study of jazz,. All the spring was spent in work on dances for May Day. We enlarged our group to nineteen by add ' ing as new members Jane Brown, Polly Com ' mack, Mildred Droste, Virginia Mae Ellett, Betty Ellis, Lillian Goddin, Betty Jane Hunt, Edith Lovins, Gwen Sampson, Jean Smith, Jeanne Strick, Mary Watts, and Ophelia Whittle. Betty Sexton served as our president; Alice Seebert was our secretary-treasurer; Ellen Ebel was in charge of costumes. Elizabeth Ann Jof dan acted as accompanist for the group. Miss Emily Kauzlarich advised and instruct ' ed Orchesis Dance Club, and the results she produced were always worth every minute spent twisting, turning, and leaping. Left to right: J. Brown, Strick, S. Pierce, Drcste, Pollard, Dugger, Sexton, Hillsman, H. Hardy, G;dd:n, Sc:ber; Whoa, King Cole! Pegasus IN the fall we welcomed many new members to Pegasus. Beginners were soon initiated into the mysteries of the five gaits and the snaffle and curb bits. Also in the fall we had a party in the rec, rehashing our vari- ous experiences with Midnight, Lindy, and of course, King Cole, while we munched innumer- able Longwood buns and drank ice-cold cokes. Our meetings were held monthly. Joyce Cheatwood was our president; Polly Cammack, our vice-president; Martha Higgins, our secre- tary; Gloria Pollard, our treasurer. Miss Stella Fox of Hampden-Sydney was our counselor and teacher. We decided to sponsor a booth at the circus, where one could pitch pennies and, if her aim were good, win a pack of Luckies. The more experienced members i jrmed a division of Pegasus called ' The Dusty Boots. Cold winter days didn ' t faze the brave souls who still hit the trail. In the spring, we worked earnestly in preparation for the Spring Horse Show. We were all determined to win one of the coveted blue ribbons or trophies, as we rode proudly around the ring at Longwood. We ' re convinced that we saw the most picturesque part of the Farmville campus when we rode along the bridal paths, leaving academic strug- gles far behind. As a year of fun, thrills, aches, and spills came to an end, we regretfully said goodbye to our senior members, and resolved that next year will be as successful as the past one. Left to right: McCormick, Cammack, Higgins, Cheatwood Cheer, Farmville girls . . . Basketball 1 O the strains of Fight, right for old Green and White and It ' s Red and White! It ' s Red and White! we ran, dodged, passed, and shot at the basket. The class games were at progress in the gym! We were quiet as we played, but yells went up ' from the onlookers in the balcony when a goal was made. Frances Parham was captain of the Seniors ' 1 team; Patsy Connelly, of the Juniors; Bobby Scott, of the Sophomores; and Rosa Hill, of the Freshmen. Green and Whit was victorious with the Seniors winning three games. The Sophomores and the Freshmen won one each. On the Athletic Association Council, Sarah Wade Owen was managing varsity basketball; Bobby Scott, general manager; and Jean Carr, coach for the Freshmen. March 1 1 , when we played the Westhamp ' ton team in their gymnasium, was the date of our only varsity game. We played in the after- noon, went to a movie that evening, and came back to Farmville that night gay and triumph ' ant, for we had won 19 to 15. On Founders ' Day we played a demonstra- tion game for the district physical education institute which was held on our campus. Besides the fifteen members of the varsity team, ten Freshmen made sub-varsity. They were: Jane Anderson, Louise Blane, Lucy Bowling, Lillian Elliott, Rosa Hill, Rosalie Jones, Iva Kernodle, Catherine Lambert, Mar- garet Orange, and Billy Waid.

The afternoon was full of suspense as the two classes fought to decide the question: Will the Freshmen wear their rat caps until Christmas? The game ended with Green and White, led by Helen Wilson, defeating Red and White, led by Catherine Lambert, 1 to 0. Sadly the Freshmen donned their rat caps until Christmas. The following day the Seniors met the Juniors in another class game. This time the tables turned, and it was Red and White who scrambled down the bank to congratulate their team, the Juniors. The score was 1 to 0. The winning team was captained by Sara Hardy: the Seniors by Hallie Hillsman. Later the Fresh ' men played the high school team. The game ended in a tie, 1 to ] . Head of the Varsity this year was Sara Hardy. Helen Wilson was in charge of gen- eral hockey. On the varsity were Rosemary Elam, Elizabeth Fulcher, Sara Hardy, Hallie Hillsman, Rosalie Jones, Louise McCorkle, Ella Marsh Pilkinton, Kitty Parrish, Alice Nichols, Rosalie Rogers, Elizabeth Walls, Phe Whittle, and Helen Wilson. Crisp autumn days and a hockey field — we hockey players were in our seventh heaven. Even if we couldn ' t make trips to other schools — tire shortage and gas rationing, of course — we thoroughly enjoyed our practices and our interclass games right here at home.

Swimming OWIM and keep fit. We have always liked to swim here at S. T. C, but this year swimming gained even more im- portance in our War Physical-Fitness Program. The Freshmen turned out en masse wearing a new green or an old grey swim suit, while the upperclassmen took their waterproof num- bers out of the mothballs and joined the floating parade. All of us together worked hard, learned fast, and had a grand time. We attended swimming classes in large num- bers, and the more advanced among us en- deavored to master life-saving, which was Left to right: Droste, Mallory, Ebel, Dugger, J. Carr, Parham patiently taught us by Ruth Dugger and Mil- dred Droste. On Saturday night the pool was a favorite rendezvous for both those who took their swim- ming seriously and those who just liked to splash. It was super fun when Mildred Droste, swimming manager, got the Vic working, and we had music while we paddled. The inter-class swimming meet, sponsored by the PTO Club, was held on February 18. Top honors went to Red and White with a score of 19-16. Frances Parham placed first in the 40-yard crawl; Gloria Pollard just swam away with the 40-yard breast stroke. Jennette Garrison led the field in the 40-yard backstroke, and the 75-yard relay was copped by Ruth Dugger, M. J. Leavitt, and Gloria Pollard. Over the net . . Tennis O ' NE of the first sights we saw at S. T. C. in the fall was the tennis courts filled with active girls busily engaged in de- veloping their forehand and backhand drives. There were some players who were more ad ' vanced than others, and these girls held classes to help less experienced girls. Frances Parham was manager of the tennis activities this year, and Phyllis Watts was assistant manager. Stu- dent teachers were Ruth Dugger, Mildred Droste, and Shirley Pierce. The Round Robin Tournament brought many students out on the courts. This tourna- ment, popular at colleges, playgrounds, and country clubs, was a favorite here. Bad weather came early last fall and played havoc with the courts, but in the spring the players once again blossomed forth early to take advantage of the smooth courts and warm weather. Many of us took tennis as our phy- sical-fitness class, and many played just for fun. Left to right: Dugger. Droste, Parham. Pavne Ta e your pic ! . . . Minor Sports UNTIL January 27, War Emphasis Day, our physical-fitness program at S. T. C. was based on voluntary participation in various sports. On that day we decided that every student needed to take part in some type of physical activity. So a few days later it was decreed that three hours should be the minimum physical education requirement for every stu ' dent from the freshman to the senior class. The so-called minor sports of archery, ping- pong, badminton, and volley ball, offered a gol- den opportunity to those of us who really wanted to keep fit. The A. A. provided com- petent teachers. We had such fun playing that we wondered why more of us had not gone out for these sports before. Archery started the year with a whiz, in the fall quarter. Lady Robin Hoods lurked con- tinually on the new court behind Venable Hall, trying to hit the bull ' s eye, and even sometimes succeeding. We who were still Freshmen then, taking archery as our third period gym class, learned about this ancient spcrt from Sara Jeffreys, manager, and Margaret Kitchin, her chief bow-stringer and picker-upper of arrows. With infinite patience, they and others taught us that the bow is held so! and the arrow so! and you shoot 50. ' The Spring tournament brought keen com- petition among the archery enthusiasts, all eager to show their skill and accomplishment with the bow and arrow and to add up the coveted points in the exciting race for color champion. Left to right: Jeffreys and Kitchin When the winter winds blew cold and snowy, we were forced to come within the walls of S. T. C, but sport time still went on merrily. On Saturday nights we had play night with sports, games, and refreshments. We polished up our game of ping-pong and learned badminton with Eleanor Wade as man- ager. Our ping-pong we took very seriously. The winter tournament which was played during January, February, and March, brought us to- gether from Cunningham to Student. The play- offs were arranged according to dormitories: Cunningham Hall, Library and Main, White- house and Student. The winners in each di- vision played, and in that way we found who was champion with the little white balls. Dottie Sue Simmons, manager, reported a very successful season with lots of balls falling by the way lor ping-pong balls do have a habit ol caving in on one side or another. In- cidentally, we earned some more points for the color cup. We started right in on volley ball when we returned to school from Christmas vacation. When Elizabeth Walls, manager, could find time off from her duties as teacher of the sixth grade, she scheduled practices and a tourna- ment in March. Jean Carr, Sara Jeffreys, Betty Blackwell, and Lucille Jones were class cap- tains. Again more points were added to the color cup when the inter-class games were played. At practices and volley ball classes the gym reechoed with excited shouts and excla- mations as Freshmen, Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors joined in the fun.

Pierce, Wade Representing the Farmville Girl story of Tarmuille in 1942-43 is not complete without including in it certain Specific ana outstanding personalities among those who pus this Spring, i l e chose them from among us. not because tliei leave our cam ers stood apart from the rest of us in anu wau, not because then were particular leadt of any group, but because theu, through their work and association with us. nave shown their louaitu, their individual qualities, and their influence in sucli a wau that theu tupifu to us the true spirit of j armuille. Mnd because so much of our activitii was concerned with war worn and patriotic duties this uear, we let the pictures of our personalities express the es- sence of what the jrarmvitle girl did in 1942- 43. .Agnes Patterson The Farmville girl in 1942-43 spent her change on United States War Stamps. A. P., president of the Student Body and chairman of the War Council, encouraged us to give our best to our country. By her friendly inter- est in every one of us and by the sincerity of her character, she fully met our qualifications for a leader. Hallie Hillsman Sports and physical education had more prominence than ever before this year as the whole school became conscious of the need for keeping tit. Hallie was president of our Athletic Association, and her quiet, capable way of han- dling a big job was largely responsible for the success of our physical fitness program. 1S3 -Amy Read On Wednesdays we rolled Red Cross bandages, and often, working along with us, was Amy, president of the Y. W. C. A. We loved Amy for many little things — the way she blushed when teased but the good-natured way in which she took it, the way she looked for the good in everybody, and the sunny cheerfulness of her personality. Betty Boutchard Not all of our time was spent in play and war activities, for even more than before, perhaps, we realized the importance of study. Betty B., presi- dent of the Class of ' 43, was definitely a well-rounded Senior. Somehow she knew how to mix work and play, fun and seriousness, to make it all result in personality plus. Margaret Mish Seeing the vital role of proper education in a world in which democracy was on trial, we took our student teaching seriously. Miggie, president of the House Council, was only one of us teaching, but through our years here to ' gether Miggie has been recognized as an individual — an energetic, efficient, likable Farmville girl. Susie Moore As interest in science grew this year, increased numbers of us entered chem- istry, physics, and biology classes. Susie was almost always in the Lab. As edi- tor-in-chief of The Virginian, she gave more than time and effort to the book ; she gave it life and, by her happy and friendly nature, inspired those working with her. Winifred Wright Social events of the usual sort were s implified and less frequent in 1942 ' 43; yet different ones had places on our calendar. Winifred, who was editor ' in-chief of The Colonnade and whose charm, wit, and poise made her one of our favorite Seniors, joined us at U. S. O. dances and entertainments for the Camp Pickett boys. Dorothy Childress First aid classes, drills, and demonstrations were important parts of the year for us — from Freshman to Senior. Dot was always ready to serve ably and willingly. We shall long remember the strong character, delightful spirit, and cheerful nature which made up the personality of Dot, Cotillion Club president and May Queen. Amid Busy The fall quarter was a busy time, but from September 21 right down to December 15 we enjoyed it. There was the rush to get sched- ules and classes straight, accompanied by re- ceptions and parties for the Freshmen. Then came a busy time of taking pictures for The Virginian; classes; lyceums; U. S. O. dances; At Fall Cotillion we danced to Freddie Lee ' s music. Marilyn Johnson debates whether to break or just to break out laughing; Lelia Dowell seems pleased at the prospect of meeting Marilyn Bell ' s date. It was a successful night for snakes, we hear. Sophomores are great gad-abouts, but sometimes they may be found on the campus. Ruth Parker, Jean Garland, Shirley Kersey, and Martha Higgins wait for lunch bell. p«° stc G rn m Coming events cast their shadows before them . . . Here comes the parade down the street. Strange animals appear when Circus time comes. Days of Fall hours spent on the fall play. The big week-end was Thanksgiving. We stayed here and went to Color Rush, to church, and to the hockey games on Thanksgiving Day. We worked hard on the Circus for Saturday night. December brought us Senior Dance, the traditional White Christmas and the Christmas pageant, a differ- ent Hanging of the Greens, and then exams. Charlie Price, Dottie Gilmer, and Mary Watkins peer over the railing of the second-floor balcony. They could be Juliets, but, alas, because of the draft, Romeos are scarce. Top: Off for a gala time in Chicago are the publication heads. Big rime! Bottom: Various points of interest are noted at the hockey game. The Freshmen are eager to know if they will wear their caps until Christmas. P. S. They did. It ' s Friday. Freshmen head for Shannon ' s Hampden Sydney — even at the hockey game. Frightened Rats await conimacds oi ' Sophs ' Walking in a winter wonderlan d are Betty Reid and Sara Eschan, out to get snap- shots of the January sleet and snow. Considering the mischief which is gleaming in B. Reid ' s eyes, the expedition was probably climaxed by a snow battle. With the arrival of photos, Shirley Richardson and Jane Bar- gamin stand outside of Science Hall studying their own like- nesses. They look satisfied with the results, don ' t they? Stimulation and relaxation for Emily Wescott, Frances Craddock, Patsy Connelly, and Sarah Trigg. They found the coke machine filled! Mary Jane Richards laughs as Minnie Lee Crumpler packs for a long- anticipated week-end trip. It ' s Minnie Lee; look in the mirror. This Was 1943 Even in all the turmoil of the world the enjoyable aspects of dormitory life were still with us. There were bull sessions and mid ' night snacks, study and work and play. There we re week-ends spent at home or at neighbor- ing colleges. (When we couldn ' t get rides as usual, we took the train or bus.) There were the excitement of the sleet in January, the ex- pectation of the choir trip to New York, sun baths on the roof. There were fewer dates and more boys in uniform, but Hampden Sydney students still managed to get into town some way. There were telephone calls which had added interest when they came from army camps and naval stations all over the country. Top: We have a glimpse of part of the College Choir rehearsing in anticipation of the New York trip. Even the little horse on Amy Read ' s sweater seems ready to go. Middle: The smiling church-goers are Catherine Lambert, Janet Sollenberger, and Gwen Slaight. They also set the pace for the S. T. C. fashion parade, dont you agree? Bottom: Priddy and Pearson, ambassadors of good will from our neighboring institution, make up a typical scene in the Farmville Rotunda. Elaine Bray holds the vantage point in this congested situa- tion. Barbara Dickerson and Betty Overcash are next. Physical Fitness invades Farmville, and waists go down as hands go up. Nothing lazy about these girls hard at work on calisthenics and military tactics. Farmville went out for the War Effort Physical fitness, the War Stamp booth, the Bond Queen drive, the War Chest, conserva ' tion, consumer education, first aid — Farmville was right in there fighting. Realizing the vital importance of wide-awake, interested citizens, we tried to keep up with what was going on around us. We tried to do our bit, realizing that all the small parts each of us could play would add up greatly to help our country. Jane McFall and Lillian Goddin eagerly keep up with world events. S. T. C ' ers Arlene Wright and Jean Prosise give to the War Chest. Alice and Charlotte, in the Home Ec. Clinic, add to their wardrobes. These Freshmen take to science by di—ect Dlogy lab. Mamie Snow, Elva Andrews, and Loreen Agee buy U. S. War Stamps. Carlotta Norfleet and Reba Graham demonstrate F;rs: Aid :.. . - on Dorothy Childress was Queen of May Day. With her charm and dark Southern beauty, she was Foster ' s Beautiful Dreamer come to life. ay The pastel tints of soft, flowing gowns blended with the mellow tones of many rich Southern melodies to set the stage for May Day for 1943. For the first time the tall white columns of the Library formed the background for the festivities, with the maple trees in foreground casting deep shadows over the dancers. Not only was the location differ ' ent; the theme was unique. The romantic life of Stephen Foster, the beloved American com ' poser of Southern melodies, was portrayed through dance interpretations of his best known songs. Foster — the youth, the dreamer, and the lover — was presented through music, song, dance, and pantomime. There were Negro dancers — mammies, roustabouts, and pickaninnies; there were mountain folk dances, Western square dances, reels, polkas, and quad ' rilles. Absent were the traditional May pole and folk dances of foreign lands. Definitely, it was an American May Day which was held on May 1 . Sweet, beautiful, and charming were the members of the May Court as they attended the queen at her crowning. In the court were: Marie Hedgecock, Bettie Bums, Martha Higgins, Mary Evelyn Pearsall, Jac Hardy, Shirley Turner, Winifred Wright, Betsy Caldwell, Jane Bentley, and Frances Lee. Jkfci Folk dances were executed by gayly clad dancers, among whom were: Pilkinton, Holt, V. Shackelford, R. Garrison, Renneker, and Kitchin. Helen Wiley Hardy, as Maid of Honor, attended the queen with stately dignity, recalling visions of Jeannie with the Light Brown Hair. Other girls selected to add grace and beauty to the May Court and to wait; to Stephen Foster ' s melodies were: Anne Ellett, Amy Read- Sarah Massie Goode, Betty Boutchard, Jean Arington, Mary Virginia Evans, Virginia Mae Ellett, Frances Craddock, Agnes Patterson, and Frances Pa Senior Statistics SANCYE ALFIUEND ALLEN: Alpha Sigma Al- pha, President, 4; Alpha Kappa Gamma, 4; Pi Gam- ma Mu. 4: V.

W. C. A 42, 43 Acknowledgment lS we close our 1943 edition of The Virginian, we do so with the hope that it has become a well-rounded picture of the year ' s life at Farmville. We have striven to reflect the activities of the students, at work and at play, and to reveal the wholesomeness of their attitudes and feelings toward a topsy- turvy world. To the members of The Virginian staff, to whom this book represents the result of many hours spent chewing pencils and tearing hair in the publication office, in the physics lab, and up in Susie ' s room — we can only begin to express our grat- itude for the time, effort, and talent they gave. Our ambitions for The Virginian could not have been realized nearly so fully had we not benefited from the outstanding cooperation and services of many individ- uals and groups, and to them all we owe our thanks. We acknowledge with sincere appreciation the services of the following: Jahn and Oilier Engraving Company, Chicago, for their help with layout, theme, and art. We want to mention especially Mr. Gordon Brightman for his fine advice, his help, and his friendship. GitchelTs Studio, Harrisonburg, for making our pictures and for the patient and friendly service of Mr. and Mrs. Gitchell. J. P. Bell Company, Lynchburg, for their services and suggestions, and especially to Mr. W. W. Brown whose hints and letters always made us feel more confident about our work. Mr. H. K. Tice of the Kingsport Press for his help with the selection of our cover. Miss Virginia Bedford of the Art Department here at Farmville for the advice and counsel which she gave us with the art work. Miss Nancy Foster of the English Department for her good suggestions and valuable aid with our write-ups. Mr. T. A. McCorkle, our chief adviser and straightener-out-of -problems. He had a lot to do this year but he was never too busy to answer any questions we might ask. More and more we realize that we could not have even had a yearbook if he had not been there to help us with all the problems confronting an inexperienced staff. And, lastly, we thank all the members of the Student Body, the Faculty, and the Administration for their cooperation and interest in The Virginian of 194?.
