So it is with people. To withstand the impending tides of danger, we loo for those who remain always steadfast and de pendahle. Here at Farmville we have found such a person. Her quiet strength and subtle humor have been a refuge to us in the confusion and restlessness of the times. Because she symbolizes by her way of life these fundamental qualities, we, the Staff, dedicate the forty-third edition of the Virginian to Miss Elizabeth Burger. lUG 18 44 Miss Elizabeth Burger The Liberty Bell signifies to Americans the freedom for which our forefathers fought, a precious heritage for posterity. Today, in the four corners of the earth, Americans are fight ' ing for that heritage, our freedom happine the pursuit of tribute to a ' Bell Li AFE ' S minor incidents as well as major crises are preceded by tocsins — the shrill shrie of a siren, the hlat of a whistle, the moaning of a fog horn, or the tolling of a hell. Signifying happiness, rest, sorrow, or peace, they divide the course of human events into separate phases. The oldest and to us the most significant is the hell which for centuries has rung to A small ragged hoy placed a gifts of the wealthy, but for penny on an altar, and high the love that w:is in the above the Christmas bells heart of the humblest giver. chimed — not for the rich hour, another hell rings in a new day and awakens seven hundred sleepy girls. We listen throughout the day for the clanging of the hell m the tower, calling time for hreahjast, class, clia x ' I devotions, lunch, afternoon class- = tell of happenings, great and small. To the cs, mght mail, poor and humhle gleaners, the Angelus and then that ended a day of toil and hegan a time of dll softening -= rest; to a child named Peter the chimes of overpowering a mighty cathedral told of simpUcity and nell. the tocsin love; to the British Empire. Big Ben of the soul, the meant iini ied strength; and to enslaved 7iien everywhere the Lih- erty Bell sang a neiv song, a song of free dom. As people have listened for its mean- ingful ring all through the ages, we too listen and pay tribute to a hell. At sunset as the angelus pealed its message across the fields, weary wor ers paused for a moment of prayer and started the jour ' ney homeward as night shadows deepened- night which meant rest for the weary and the peace of home. Big Ben, unchanging, goes on mar!{ing the hours for a great nation, a nation whose people have endured with patience and faith the hardships and heart- break of war — in its steadiness It is symbolic of British courage and stability. diiDic ' r bell. l ightly activities of study, meetings, hull sessions, go on until the tolling of the curfew.

But in our minds woidd be pictures of the hours spent within their walls, long hours of classes, of reading and studying; pictures of shorter hours of laughing and talking. From that first September day when we walked into the Rotunda to the cold afternoons after Christmas and to the warm spring days, the campus and surroundings became a vital part of a busy scheme of existence. The peaceful buildings are symbols of activities that have made up our college days, symbols of that intangible spirit of Farynville. THE ROTUIVDA . . . MEET ME BY JOA] . . . DATES . . .

No student has entered State Teachers College without college and urges us on to greater achieve ' ments. The famous Farmville spirit, of which we are all proud, is embodied in our Dr. Jarman. To Miss Mary White Cox, the Head of DR. J. L. JARMAN, President MISS MARY WHITE COX Head of the Home the Home, go the laurels for her patience in listening to our requests and for granting them whenever possible, never faihng to do that which is best for us. Miss Rachel Royall, Miss Mary ' s secrc ' tary, never seemed to tire of the vast job of keeping eight hundred girls in check. To the entire faculty go our praise and thanks for being patient and understanding in days when other things seemed so much more important than studying. Realizing the effect of the war on college life and the students here, they altered their courses to suit wartime needs and give us broader views and inspiration. Geography classes v ith Miss Moran and Miss Waters, cur ' rent events classes with Dr. Walmsley, and sociology classes with Miss Stubbs, kept us up ' to ' date on war ' s activity, geography, and the political trends of the day. Work ' ing overtime on the accelerated physical fitness program Miss Her, Miss Barlow, and Miss Kau2,larich gave their time and energy to keeping us healthy. Under the guidance and supervision of Mr. McCorkle, Mr. French, and Miss Burger, we spent many long but happy hours in the lab working chemistry, physics, and science experiments. Biology labs were equally interesting as Dr. Stevens and Dr. Jeffers helped us overcome our qualms and accomplish the gigantic tasks of dissecting a frog. Miss Bedford alone taught all art classes, supervised num ' erous exhibits, and assisted one of her classes in painting two murals for the Rec.

Keeping the students hard at work translating Cicero and Vergil was the ever faithful Miss Rice. Though Dr. Merritt, our librarian, joined the Army in January, he left his duties in the capable hands of the ladies: Miss Clark, Miss Snead, Mrs. Blanton, and Mrs. Merritt. S. M.

Registered Nurse QLAsses i V ' § 10 the wide-eyed freshman, every clanging of the hell means a new strange phase of the first few days. The six o ' cloc hell awa es her hriefly, and before sleep descends again, the hreal fast hell sends her flying madly for her clothes to ma e the wild dash to the dining room. Class hells put a little speed into the search for classroom 22, and hy the time lunch hell rings, she is very confused. The hell at fivcthirty is a mystery, and the supper one a relief. The ten o ' cloc hell spells a half hour of do-as-yowplease hefore a clang says off to bed. Bells, to her, separate the day into distinct, very important por- tions. To the sophomores the six a. m. hell is a nonentity except in rare cases for use in last mi7iute studying for exayns or tests. In the haven of Annex, the value of the alarm cloc is realized as coiiscientious early birds begin to dwindle in number. The six o ' cloc hell at night is the all ' important one, implying that they must desert the pursuits of Shan- non ' s or the show and return for supper and the usual well ' supplied mail box. The juniors, with a short hil{e between them and hrea jast or an eight o ' cloc class become more strongly dependent on the alaryn cloc}{ for that last few wm]{s before the forty yard dash. Telephone hells assume an exaggerated air of importance. The ten ' thirty hell no longer means stop washing and put lights out. ' ' It is only a slight interruption in the bridge game or hidl session. Seniors change the spelling from bells t() belles. The effects of the alarm clocl{s and class hells are lessened. The clanging of the train bell is li e Pied Piper ' s music. V edding hells hold a mystic dreamy fascination. The ten o ' cloc hell brings forth the nightly pih grimage to Shannon ' s, and only the library clocl{s marking the wee hours spells bedtime. Senior Building Senior Class J OYS we have known — this strain from our farewell song will al- ways be the theme whenever our thoughts turn to our senior year at Farmville. Never shall we forget the solemn occasion of our Installation when we first marched down the aisle to the tune of the Alma Mater. Then came Circus. What an hilarious time we had putting our stunt together! We were proud to see our own Jane Ford reign- ing over the Big Top. We shall always remember our lovely Senior Dance in December. Wearing white dresses, we danced under a ceiling of red and white and walked in the iigure led by our honorary class member, Agnes Patter- son, and our class officers: Faye Nimmo, president; Hannah Lee Crawford, vice- president; Frances Craddock, secretary; and Ruth Dugger, treasurer. After Christmas we settled down for seme serious study, but even so, we always managed to find time for a bull session or a song feast. Many of us were teaching, and tall were the tales we told of our chil- dren. Time flew by all too quickly, it ceemed, and suddenly it was May Day. We had our Senior Chapel and shed a tear or two with the realization that graduation was just around the corner. As we neared the end of our college career, we found that there were many things which we wished to remember: the Red and White spirit, which meant so much to all of us; the Lantern Parade; go- ing down-town every night; those Sunday morning breakfasts in Senior Dining Room; the friendships we have made; and last but not least, our adviser. Miss Burger, who gave so much of her time and herself to us — the class of ' 44.

Junior Building Junior Class VV HEN we were fresh- men and sophomores, Cunningham Hall had meant the envied home of juniors and seniors, but when we became inhabitants of its hallowed walls this fall, it was not long before we too were calling it familiar- ly, The Building. We had seen our sister class graduate last spring, and now there was a new group of Green and Whites. Before long they were running us close competition for Charhe Hop (Mr. French), whom we had considered strictly ours. Really upper-classmen now, we began our year with Eleanor Wade as president; Marilyn Bell, vice-president; Mary Walker Watts, secretary; and Helen Wilson, treas- urer. Remaining as class man, Mr. French was ever to be depended on to save the largest corner of his heart for us. Our greatest triumph came the night of Circus when our stunt placed Number One. We gave Marilyn Bell credit tor our success, and to her goes another laurel wreath for an excellent job of ring-master. The closing night of Club ' 45 ' was a joyful occasion for all concerned, as the S. T. C. Special pulled out from its station in the Rec. Bright lights, an entertaining show, waitresses in jeans ' n shirts, and plenty of hard work by Marilyn and her cohorts. combined to make it a night to remember. As the year rolled on we managed to cram in many more good times as well as a little study. But as is the way of all good things, it had to come to an end, and before we had become accustomed to the idea of being juniors, we were walking through the arch of senior caps and becoming seniors our- selves.

Some of the class found themselves with suites in Junior Building. Before we had realised that we were no longer mere fresh- men and could go down town every day, rat week had rolled around and we had our chance to prove our power and pres- tige. We found being on the dishing-out end quite as much work and fun as the receiving end had been last year. After three days of playing the role of high and mighty sophomores, our class president, Eleanor Bisese, Bessie for short, reigned over Big Rat Court. For our Circus stunt, under the direction of Betty Cock, we recruited the funny paper talent from our class and found our- selves on Circus night surrounded by Olive Oyl, Superman, Blondie and Dagwood and a host of others. Because of wartime shortages, the rat caps were a httle tardy in arriving, but in January with better late than never our motto, we capped the freshmen and proud- ly watched them wear the saucy little blue and white caps. Instead of a class produc- tion we presented a dance as a grand climax to May Day. Leading the class through the responsi- bilities of being sophomores were our of- ficers; Eleanor Bisese, president; Margie Hewlett, vice-president; Lillian Elliott, sec- retary; and Shirley Cruser, treasurer. Jane Philhower and Mike Shiflett efficiently handled the varied responsibilities of the coke machine, and our classman.

T. C. for the first time. We were scared and green freshmen, but we were proud to be college girls at last! We struggled through orientation classes, hopefully expecting to learn in four days the many rules which were a part of our college. Our big sisters were always there helping, and the recep- tion they gave, honoring us, was our first big thrill. We were amazed, after classes began, to discover that it was not so hard to find our way around the school as we had thought. Our life soon slipped into a rou- tine of classes, eating, studying, eating, visiting, and again eating — for we really enjoyed those boxes from home. It seemed that we had hardly gotten settled when rat week reared its ugly head, and we submitted to the rule of the lordly sopho- mores. In our stocking caps and dashing colors we did everything from writing let- ters to cleaning rooms, and great was our relief when it was over, and Margaret Bruce was pronounced Best Rat. Our joy knew no bounds when our stunt placed second in the circus competition, for we had worked hard. Soon after, we elect- ed as our officers: Margaret Ellett, presi- dent; Grace Loyd, vice-president; Martha Russell East, secretary; Betty Minetree, treasurer; and Miss Her, classman. It was not long before we acquired some of the Green and White spirit as we cheered our colors on at the hockey games and Color Rush. After Christmas we presented our first production, wherein we displayed our talents to the school. When spring came, we signed up for rooms in eager anticipa- tion of next year, for we had become a part of Farmville. Standing, left to right: Minetree, Miss Her, Loyd Seated: M. Ellett, M.

As we entered the council room, we knew we must, in judging even the simplest offense, put aside our personal pre judices in seeking a thorough understanding of each case and of every girl involved. Whether we were giving campus for going to the movies without permission or for committing one of the major offenses, we tried to deal punishment fairly and to the best interest of all concerned, upholding the code of ethics set forth by the council of former years. In the fall we watched the freshmen walk slowly into the council room and sign the Honor Code by candlelight, pledging that they would uphold the stand ' Front row, left to right: H.Moore, Pearsall, Crawford Back row: Patterson, L.

Mary Evelyn Pearsall, as president of the Student Council, was an outstanding per- sonality, and everyone admired her under ' standing and ability for getting things done. At any hour of night or day Mep could be seen hurrying about the halls attending the president of the Y. W. C. A.

The council was composed of Hannah Lee Crawford, vice ' president; Harriette Moore, secretary; Lucy Messick, treasurer; two representatives from each class; the chairman of the Camp- us League; the president of the House Council, and two ex ' ofiicio members; the president of the Athletic Association; and white shirts, celebrated Dr. Jarman ' s birth ' day, in November, with a banquet in the tearoom, and sang carols at a Christmas party in Mep ' s room one night before the holidays. In February, we spent a fare ' well week ' cnd at Longwood. After spring elections in March, we installed the 1944 ' 4 ' ) council. The T. W. C, A. V AN you tell me what ' matriculate ' means? How can I get my bags from the station? Where do I pay my bills? These and countless similar ques- tions were fired at the Y girls, dressed in white, that memorable day in September. The freshmen were arriving on the campus for the first time, and, lost in the maze of the college halls and envious of the shrieks and embraces shared by old girls, they wore a woebegone expression which only too clearly gave away their thoughts. That end ' less first week, however, was finally over and was climaxed by the first big party of the year, the Big-Sister, Little-Sister Re- ception. After the freshmen were officially Left to right: F. Hawthorne, A. Martin, Grumpier, Williams, L.

The Sophomore Commission organized the Freshman Commission with Margaret Sheffield as chairman, and soon got under way. The Y did much to recapture and cedar and pine, and the spicy odor of greens was everywhere. Frances Lee Hawthorne, as president, presided over our Wednesday afternoon cabinet meetings. Flee was all ready to give assistance, a cheery smile, or a word of advice to anyone who might need her.

At prayers Miss Rice told us the story of The Other Wise Man, which has long been a tradition of our Christmas celebra- tion. We decorated the Rotunda with Soon after Christmas, the Y helped sponsor a War Campus Drive. In February came Religious Emphasis Week with dis ' cussions on every phase of religion. During March elections were held, and with the beginning of Spring Quarter, came a new cabinet to begin a new year ' s work. House Council Left to light: M. Droste, Hig- gins, Eason, S.

Although our expressions were habitually grim, it was often hard to keep a straight face when we heard some of the excuse? offered for breaking the late-light rule. As Judy Eason, leader of the stone-face bri- gade, made her way down the halls, it was not an uncommon thing for her to trip over piles of coke bottles strategically placed to give warning of her coming. We gave late-light privileges to those who had extra work to do and tried to keep radios and voices low while study hour was on. Stricter rules were enforced during ex- ams, when one call down instead of the usual three meant a week ' s campus. In addition to our duties as hall presi- dents we assumed responsibilities as lire and air raid wardens under our student chief, Sue Harper. We had a fire scare when the girls in Cunningham Hall saw the skies ablaze in the vicinity of Student Building. Later we found that the fire was from a local cafe. The blackout siren caught us studying, writing letters, washing hair, and even practicing at mass circus rehearsal. Making an exception to the saying Lights never go olf in Cunningham Hall, we pa- trolled all buildings to see that they were absolutely blacked out until the All Clear sounded. Seated on steps: S.

Cameras had been laid aside — the annual was coming out. The tedious work, finished now, had started the spring before when the staff was chosen. Page by page the book had grown. Gradually came the reah2,ation that despite wartime limita- tions a pictorial review of lite here at school could and would be accomplished. Not only was the staff confronted with publica- tion problems, but the engravers, photo- graphers, printers, and everyone connected with year-books found themselves faced with restrictions. At times it was a strug- gle, almost an impossibility, but with men- tal and physical efforts to meet the earlier deadhnes, we mailed the photographic and literary copy. Sara Wayne France, as editor, was aided by Harriette Moore, managing editor, and the entire staff from Jane Smith, literary editor, to Charlie Hop, who lent moral support when things were at a low ebb. We still have a vivid picture of Sara Wayne in deep concentration over some change in the layout, kodak fiends clamber- ing over the roof to get a snapshot of the bell, Mr. Mac raring back in his chair on the verge of a suggestion, the disturbed literary staff before their dead line — all those things that were raw materials of the finished product.

Thursday was picture day for the photo- graphic editor, but a holiday for the rest of the staff. Friday and Saturday the news and feature staffs began production, inter- viewing the heads of organizations or fac- ulty members or gathering odd facts for features. Pat Maddox spent Sunday nights in the Home Office getting the who went where for the Just Looking, Thanks col- umn. Monday morning found managing editor, Ruffin, on the rounds of reminding. The typing staff clicked out the copy for transportation to the Herald Office. Tues- day after dinner, the proof reading staff checked the galleys. The editors worked out the make-up, and dictionaries were put to use in finding synonyms for the headhne writing. At noon Wednesday after a final checkup, and after the completion of last minute scoops, the paper went to press. The circulation staff folded and distributed the papers in the dining room. At seven the students, forgetting food, delved into the news, the dirt column, or the front page feature. At eight that night the staff once again met in the publication office to begin anew, the news of a week at S. T. C. Front row, left to right: B. Overcash, F. Lee, L. Holloway Second row: Cock, M.

Alphin ZV.MID great confusion and last minute rewrites, each issue of the Colonnade piloted by Ehzabeth Tennent, editor, and Mildred Corvin, business man- ager, went to press just within the deadline. Because of lack of materials due to the war, we had quite a time getting the issues out with the least possible hinderances and the most possible attractions. The short story and poetry contests were too highlights — bringing forth many clever and well-ex- pressed contributions. We spiced the cov- ers up with tricky drawings by Sarah Trigg and sprinkled between the covers stories by the students, an army wife, a newspaper reporter from Washington, D. C, and fas- cinating letters trom boys in the service. Dedicating our iirst issue to the freshmen we featured a photograph of Freshman — ' 43 Style. Sparkling Speech revealed new ways of saying old things, and Mac ' s Cracks gave the readers a number of laughs. Each issue contained book reviews which told us what They Are Reading. Li2, ' s informal editorials spoke words of wis- dom as she gave worthwhile counsel in her special feature Over the Editor ' s Shoul- der. The hterary and business staffs worked hard together to make the Colonnade rep- resentative of our student creative writing. ' Twas work we admit, but fun every step of the way.

Wood, Langhi.rnc Student Standards A A .ZxS the coordination department, it is our duty to arrange the schedule of events on the school calendar, to see that no one carries more extra ' curri- cular points than her scholastic average warrants, and to investigate possibihties of improvements through student or faculty suggestions. With Mildred Corvin at the head of the table, we tackled and accom- plished many of our multiple duties. Fay Byrd Johnson was kept on her toes from last May to this one scheduling meetings so that no one would be faced with the prob ' lem of being at two places at one time. The suggestions and possibilities for improve ments were many and varied. To save the freshmen many weary hours of standing in line to get their books from the Book Room, we suggested that they could buy them from their teachers. We worked on a plan so that students can turn used books into cash instead of dragging them home in the spring. We requested and obtained two rooms on second floor Main for the town girls and in the late fall held a class in par- liamentary law with Dr. Walmsley official ' ing. By arranging that grades be withheld until dues were paid, we helped organi2,a ' tions with their financial problems. And there is a sample, tagged and ap ' proved, of our year ' s work.

Alpha Kappa Gamma etc OUCH leaders have been found among you. With these words the impressive tapping service of Alpha Kappa Gamma begins. Each quarter in the student day chapel, Joan Circle recognizes those girls whose character and leadership have made them outstanding in college activities. Directing us this year as president was Hannah Lee Crawford; vicc ' president, Frances Lee Hawthorne; secretary, Ella Banks Weathers; and treasurer. Patsy Con ' nelly. Giving the circle both able assistance and guidance were our faculty advisers, Miss Ruth Gleaves and Miss Elizabeth Burger. Before a throng of spectators we pre- sented the circus under the general direc tion of the chairman. Patsy Connelly. Ad ' mission for the evening ' s entertainment was paid in war stamps. We aided in the publi ' cation of the alumnae magazine, redecorat ' ed the Honors Room, and at our quiz, pro ' gram in April the Farmville brain trust matched wits with the V ' 1 2 geniuses from Hampden ' Sydney.

Dr. Walmsley, our adviser, submitted to us a plan for world government. Through a series of speeches, papers, and finally an open forum in May, we modified specific parts of the plan and amplified others until we had developed a blueprint of our own conception of world federation. Our social event of the year, Mardi Gras, was a great success under the direction of Mildred Corvin. Virginia Mae EUett was chosen queen by the student body. The ladies of her court, dressed in costumes of the Civil War period, were Jean Arington, Ann Blair, Betsy Caldwell, Jane Crump, Minnie Lee Grumpier, Marilyn Johnson, Mary Evelyn Pearsall, and Mary Agnes Sheffield. The society sent Frances Crad- dock, president, and Marilyn Bell, to Greensboro, N. C, in March to a conven- tion of the International Relations Club. With the help of our officers and sponsers — Dr. Walmsley, Mr. Coyner, and Dr. Simkins — we made available to the student body timely literature on the world situa- tion, and strove to establish a consciousness of the duties of world citizenship.

Overcash Kappa Delta Pi W ITH education our aim and interest, we emphasized its need during American Education Week in No ' vember with speakers from various depart ' ments of our faculty; honored its leaders in January by initiating; as our honorary mem ' ber, Mrs. Edith B. Joynes, president of the National Educational Association, and dis- cussed its future in our Tuesday night meetings. This year we stressed the Pan ' American aspect of education and a closer understanding of our southern neighbors, by programs on phases of life in Latin America. Once each quarter at an impres ' sive ceremo ny led by our president, Mary Moore McCorkle, we initiated into the Beta Epsilon chapter of Kappa Delta Pi new members from the upper quartile of the Junior and Senior classes. In the fall we invited Miss Emily Barksdale from our faculty to become an active member. Among our projects was a personal library building contest, judged on the quality of the selections rather than the quantity, to encourage good reading. The climax of a successful year was the recep ' tion given in the spring for freshmen and sophomores with high scholastic averages placing them in the upper fourth of their classes. Pi Kappa Delta Front row, left to right: B. Adams, M. Bell, A. Nickols Mr. Holton, V. Terrell, Miss Nickols ick Although we were handicapped by the limitations of wartime transportation, Pi Kappa Delta and the Debate Club remained active by sponsoring local debates and attending forensic affairs on other campuses. Represented by Jane Ruffin, Olive Bradshaw, Betty Adams, Faith Weeks, and our counselor. Miss Peck, we participated in the Southeast Province Tournament at Charlotte, N. C, under the direction of Winthrop College. Twice this year we were hostesses to debat- ing teams from Randolph-Macon College and Radford State Teachers College. Our part in War Day chmaxed the program when our debaters met to present argu- ments pro and con on the question, Re- solved: That the United States should estabhsh and maintain an international police force after the war. Our members widened their activities by speaking to civic clubs on vital questions of timely interest. A A Alpha Phi Sigma i HE distinction of being the only honor society on campus open to freshmen goes to Alpha Phi Sigma, national honorary scholastic fraternity. In the fall we initiate those new girls who were the valedictorians and salutatorians of their high school graduating classes. Later on, freshmen and sophomores with an average of B plus for two consecutive quarters were asked to join us. The members who main- tained that standard were promoted to Master ' s degree. Under the leadership of our president, Carolyn Bobbitt, ably assisted by the other officers and our adviser, Miss Mary Peck, we assisted the faculty in the sale of text ' books. With a thought to the future fresh- men we worked and completed a plan to sell secondhand books next year. Founder ' s Day found us guiding the returning alum- nae around the campus and showing the changes that have come about since their days at S. T. C. Left to right: Bowling, D. Overcash, L.

House, K, Johnson, Barksdale A A Sioma o Though we have heard it said that Latin is a dead language, the members of the Alpha chapter of Sigma Pi Rho, honor organization in Latin, don ' t beheve a word of it. We issue bids quar- terly to Latin students with the highest scholastic averages in that subject. Giving the Latin we have learned a modern apph- cation, we strive to preserve a love for the classics, to make them real and alive to us so that our pupils in our teaching days to come, may appreciate the grandeur that was Rome. Sigma Phi Rho became a national organ- Pi Rho isation in 193 ' ). Here at Farmville we edit the national publication The Tribunal. In the publishing process we have learned about the other chapters of the fraternity and found new ideas and inspiration in their accomphshments. This year Frances Lee Hawthorne was our president; Mary St. Clair Bugg, vice- president; Margie Lee Culley, secretary and treasurer, and Mary Wood House, our historian. Helping us in all our activities and trials and tribulations was Miss Rice, our adviser, and Mr. Grainger and Dr. Walmsley, faculty members of our chapter. Gamma Psi A HEN September rolled around, and Gamma Psi met for the first time, the walls of the art lab vibrated with our plans for the year. We had a discussion of our program, and finally decided to keep on with our U. S. O. work — repainting the shuifle-board and decorating one of the rooms at the Recreation Center — and to continue our poster- making for the activ- ities of various organizations on campus. Our main project was the sponsoring of the bulletin board on first floor Library Building. At each meeting thereafter the constant cry of the committee-in-charge was for new ideas. From then on our meetings were kept humming as we did sketches for Mardi Gras costumes, drew pictures of our favorite hats and hair- dos, and whatever else might strike our collective fancy. We had an attractive display of the local landscapes done by the art students, and with the Christ- mas season approaching, we posted un- usual cards submitted by local talent. Miss Booten, who had been our faculty adviser in the past, left us this year for over- seas duty in the Red Cross. Miss Bedford, taking her place, was our able consultant. We were capably led by Jean Arington, president; Mary Moore McCorkle, vice- president; Jane Knapton, secretary, and Mary Lou Dondley, treasurer. All through the year we tried to show the student body, through our projects, the work in which Gamma Psi was interested. Seated on wall, left to right; Arington, M. McCorkle, Knapton, E.

Centering our fall meetings around the effect of the war on literature, we enjoyed a talk by our librarian, Dr. Leroy Merritt, on The War and Publishing. After Christmas we discussed the poems of Rob- ert Frost in preparation for his appearance here in January, which was canceled be- cause of the illness oi the poet. In coopera- tion with Pi Gamma Mu and the Dramatic Club we sponsored Lei Ling Ai, a Chinese actress, writer and lecturer. Once each quarter we initiated girls in- terested in and showing outstanding ability in English and creative writing. One Thurs- day night every month the society met. Jane Smith, our president, presided; Jeanne Strick, our vice-president and chairman of the program committee, presented the pro- grams. Mary Franklin Woodward was treasurer; Lucille Lewis, recording secre- tary; and Bernice Copenhaver, correspond- ing secretary. The members of the English 1 acuity gave invaluable assistance. V ar Council Complying with the student request for War Emphasis Day again this year, the War Council climaxed its program, devoting one day to student discussion groups on The Theaters of War. Reali2,ing the necessity for conceu ' trated war effort on the part of each stu- dent, the council sponsored the weekly sale of war stamps, worked with the Y. W. C. A. in the War Chest Drive, and enlisted volunteers for the Red Cross bandage roll- ing. To boost our sale of war stamps, we presented the faculty in a humorous Fam- ily Album, for which admission was one stamp. The need for a flag in chapel exer- cises was met when the council purchased one as its gift to the school. With our chair- man, Mary Evelyn Pearsall, and adviser, Dr. Walmsley, we strove to be the connect- ing link between our school and the world at war.

O., and the members of the council lonnd that there were few students who did. Patriotism had its problems as well as its pleasures, however, and on days when U. S. O. dances were scheduled, we were tempted to go into hibernation in order to avoid the barrage of questions with which we were usually met. Under the guidance of Marilyn Bell, chairman, of Opheha Whittle, co-chair- man, and of Miss Wheeler, adviser, we made up lists, shoved girls into busses headed for Camp Pickett, or walked them down town to the armory. It was rare that a week-end went by without a U. S. O. dance, and we wished Uncle Sam would issue an extra shoe ration coupon, so that we could replace shoes worn to shreds from dancing. It was seldom, however, that we did not have fun. We have many happy moments to remember: the officers ' dances at Pick- ett; the company banquets; the entertain- ments for H. S. C. sailors at the Center; and the fun of meeting our lieutenant Devils from the fighter squadron at Blackstone. All these and many more made the U. S. O. an unforgettable part of Farmville.

Jarman Chapter of the Future Teachers of America was organized on our campus five years ago to help in preparing the students here to teach and to keep up with the current trends in education. Since its organization we have been one of the outstanding chapters in our nation. At our monthly meetings, presided over by our president, Mary Franklin Wood- ward, we used as bases for discussion ma- terial from the journals of the National Educational Association and Virginia Edu- cation Association and from our own F. T. A. library, handled by Mary Elizabeth Harvey. The general subject for speakers of the year, who were chosen from our locality, was the effect of the war on educa- tion. In keeping with this. Miss Moran spoke to us on Education in Russia, and Miss Stubbs gave a talk on the social aspect of education. Watching with keen interest the controversy in our state legislature over the education appropriations bill, we dis- cussed its possible effects on future teach- ing. A. C. E. Left to right: Gillum, B. Watts, M. Willson, Pattie 1 AKING as our purposes, the betterment of childhood education and the advancement of our profession by mak ' ing better teachers, A. C. E. invited to membership each fall the majors in elemen- tary training. This year under the leader- ship of president, Betty Watts, and other officers and the interest and guidance of our adviser, Miss Mary B. Haynes, we planned projects to achieve our purposes. One of the most interesting programs of our month- ly meetings was a series of student reports on disciphne. In February, in a chapel program, we sponsored the rhythm band and choruses from the training school. The climax of the year came at our May meet- ing, when the national secretary visited our chapter. Our Christmas party in Miss Haynes ' apartment added Christmas cheer to a successful year. A A Commercial Club During the year the Commercial Club conducted a series of meetings, at which business men of Farm ' ville spoke on the things that we, as poten ' tial business people, shall need to knovv? when we have left school. At one program a movie was shown on the proper use of the telephone, in which the errors seemed ridic ulous and exaggerated, until we realized that those were the very errors we were making. Each quarter we bought and sold books needed by commercial students and deduct ' ed a part of the seUing price for handhng the books. We deposited this money to be used for departmental improvements, ob ' taining speakers, and buying audio ' visual equipment. The War Service Department, carried over from last year, was an impor ' tant phase of our work. Again this year members of our club completed a number of worth ' while jobs for the hospital, the rationing office, and the graded school. In the fall we made an occupational survey of the graduates of the classes of ' 41, ' 42, and ' 43, and found the results very interesting. Our president for the year was Caroline Caldwell; Marilyn Johnson, vice ' president; Nancy Langhorne, secretary; and Betty Jones, treasurer. With these officers and Mr. Myers as our faculty adviser, the Com ' mercial Club helped the business students prepare for their hie in the business world. Seated, left to right: M. Johnson, C.

Beard A A Home Economics Cluh 1 HE Home Economics Club again had as its theme this year the problems of war-time living. In view of the conditions we attempted through the study of the present situation to find the causes of economic problems and some means by which they might be solved. At some of the meetings, the club had as its guests, persons who had been abroad and actually knew the foreign countries which are now fighting in World War II. These speakers made talks to the members about the home and family hfe of the countries which they had visited. We discussed the probable results of the war, results that would be of special interest to future home economists. We also cooperated with the Granddaugh- ters Club in beginning work on their pro- ject of presenting the history of the college through costumes. Dora Walker Jones served as president of the club this year with Martha Hite as vice-president; Louise McCorkle, treasurer; and Lucy Manson as secretary. Miss Tupper, head of the Home Economics department, was adviser for the club. A A Dramatic Club In spite of the draft, the Dramatic Club presented two plays with all girl casts, minus the masculinity from Hampdeu ' Sydney. Ably supported, Dodie Jones portrayed the leading role in the legendary play, The Ivory Door, which was given in the fall. Visiting alum ' nae were entertained by our spring ly ceum, The Cradle Song, with Peggy T. Ross as Mother Superior of a Spanish Con- vent in which the scene was laid. Assisting Miss Wheeler in staging the play were Mary St. Clair Bugg, in charge of lighting; Carol Diggs, staging; Frances Shackelford, costumes; Sally Robertson, properties; Ann Blair, music; and Lucille Lewis, makeup. The apprentice actresses under the direction of Olive Bradshaw pre sented short plays at our bi ' monthly meet ' ings. Lucy Manson, as president, not only presided over the club, but worked as gen ' eral chairman of the two productions. Our social event of the year climaxed our activ ities when we entertained the new girls at a tea in the Student Building Lounge. Ai - ' .MtlSJ r- ' ffi Seated, left to right: Miss Wheeler, F.

Improve ' ments by the club members early in the fall made the rooms more comfortable for re- laxation between classes. The girls got tO ' gether and hung curtains, fixed a bulletin board, put up a coat rack, and painted fur- niture. The necessity for more space was recognized by the school, which gave us access to the new rooms. Serving as our president, Elizabeth Gates brought the town girls into closer coopera- tion with college activitie s. The club un- dertook a booth and sold pop corn at the circus. In our spare minutes we knitted an afghan, which was sent to the hospital at Camp Pickett. Once each week the girls rolled bandages for the Red Cross. In the spring, we conducted a patriotic program in student day chapel. Our other ofEcers were Rae Chick, vice- president; Mary Wood House, secretary, and Virginia Lee Price, treasurer. With the help of Miss Moran, our adviser, we ended successfully the first year in our new rooms and bought a War Bond with the money we raised from our various projects. Front row, left to right: E.

And the list is long because the members of the Northern Neck Club are all from the same section of Virginia. Our meetings are wonderful opportunities to gossip or, in more refined language, to con- verse about the deeper things in Hfe, such as when we were last home and from whom the letters were this morning. Also we ate. We had a wonderful hamburger feast in Mr. Graham ' s backyard. In fact, the ham- burgers were so good that two of our own Northern Neck boys from V. P. I. came by on a motorcycle just to help us eat them. However, just to prove that we don ' t play all the time, we wrote letters to the girls back home urging them to come to Farmville and join the club. We contrib- uted some hard earned dollars to the War Chest and finally finished the year with a theater party at the local opry house. The guiding spirits among us were our officers: president, Hersey Hutt; vice-presi- dent, Emma Swann; secretary, Theresa Hutt; treasurer, Eleanor Hall; and the best of all sponsors — Mr. French. Granddaughters Club Lett to right M Giu-iiJ M.kuiu V tl 1 l.iidti M 1 W du id With forty new leg- acies, the Granddaughters Club began the year by undertaking a new project. The girls started a collection of pictures and typical costumes to represent each year that the college was founded. Contributions from alumnae have added valuable material to the display. At a tea in November, our guest, Mrs. Boyd Coyner, gave us an interesting talk on The Granddaughters ' Place in the School. As hostesses on Founder ' s Day, we entertained the old girls and showed them the changes and improvements on our campus. With Mary Elizabeth Grizzard as president, we took part in various school activities. The club sponsored a cake raffle in their circus booth, opened Longwood on several Sunday afternoons, rolled bandages, and entertained the soldiers at the Recrea- tional Center. A A A A Baptist Student Union Bi )ECAUSE going home every weekend has become a thing of the past, the Baptist Student Center, located in the Cactus Inn, became even more im ' portant this year as a quiet retreat from col- lege confusion. We keep it busy with Sun- day evening meetings after church, daily noon prayer meetings, young women ' s aux ' iliary meetings and, during exams, an open house. Under the inspiring leadership of Miss Frances Copenhaver, our new student sec- retary, we enjoyed many hours of inform- ative and entertaining programs. During Missionary Emphasis Week, Miss Kate Ellen Truner, missionary to Palestine, led our discussions, and Mr. Versil Crenshaw was our speaker for Vocational Emphasis Week. Our officers for this year were Ella Pool, president; Virginia Treakle, Mary Elizabeth Fuqua, Mary Ellen Petty, Rachel Joyner, Alice Buck, Louise Putney, Mae Dunnavant, Ann Snyder, Gertrude Moore, Eileen Bowles, Lois Lloyd Sheppard, Elea- nor Corell, and Margaret Smith.

The old girls took the new ones to Sunday School and church that first Sunday morning and helped to make them a part of our group. The Westminster Fel- lowship, formerly called the Presbyterian Student Association, began the year with a conference with the Presbyterian students at Hampden ' Sydney College. Thirty girls journeyed to neighboring campus that fall Sunday to make the day a highlight of the year. Our December meeting was a Christmas carohng party with the councils of the oth- er denominations invited. The Rev. Joseph Garrison conducted the annual Student Day Church Service late in February, and before the services, the council was enter- tained at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Philip Roberts. Lois Alphin presided over our meetings. Sarah Lee East was vice-presi- dent; Sara Bird Williams, secretary -treas- urer, and Mr. Phil Roberts, Mrs. Farrar Shelton and Mrs. Frank Crawford were our advisers. V esley Foundation i HE Methodist Con- vention, late in February, was the highlight of a year of progress. The flurry and rush of getting rooms for the delegates, meeting them and dancing in the gym Saturday night will long be remembered. But the lighter side of conventions is seldom the most important part, for from the discus- sions and speeches, we gleaned a great deal of information and interest. The speakers. Bishop W. W. Peele and Dr. Clarence T. Craig of Oberlin Divinity School in Ohio, assisted us in the interfaith and interracial forums, which were a featured part of the program. During the year we fixed up a room as a worship center, pubhshed a monthly paper for the college girls, and had supper meetings to which we invited the V ' 12 ' s from Hampden-Sydney. Our officers for the year were Betty Watts, president; Vir- ginia Lee Price, vice-president; Lorraine Raiford, secretary; and Elizabeth Mast, treasurer. Left to right: Grizsard. Hamlin, Miss M.

Services have been held for the past two years in the small auditorium. This fall, seeing the need for such a club, we met and elected Marie Kelly our president; Elizabeth Driscoll, vice-president; Mary William Calvert, sec- retary; Lelia Manner, treasurer; and Mar- garet Thomas, social chairman. Under the supervision of our adviser. Miss Emily Kauslarich, and the friendly advice of Fath- er McCarthy, we planned for our meet- ings in Junior Parlor. We held round table discussions for the problems and questions that arise in regard to our church, its back- ground, and its place in college life here. On the social side, we attended a dinner dance given at the Cathohc USO in Black- stone and entertained the Catholic boys from Hampden-Sydney at a tea. Late in March, we got together for dinner at the hotel, and by May we discovered that we had a successful year behind us and had done much toward making our club a per- manent organization. The Language Clubs SPANISH CLUB Left to right: A. Martin, F. Applying classroom knowledge to the lighter side of hfe, the language clubs planned programs using games and songs. From them they gained ease and poise in using French, Spanish, or Latin. In the meeting at Hallowe ' en, using their skill in the classic vernacular for fun, the Latin Club translated a ghost story into Latin. The paper, Auxihum Latinum, was an endless source of ideas; the adviser, Miss Rice, with her wide knowledge of her OFFICERS Butt, Parkhurst, Carper subject, was an inspiration and aid in in ' terpretation. With the stimulating help of the Puerto Rican students and Miss Barksdale the Spanish Club created interest in our south ' em neighbors, their music, art and customs. Le Cercle Francaise contributed to the Christmas party, traditional French enter ' tainment, including Pere Noel himself. Under the guidance of Miss Draper the programs were surprising, presenting a school room scene in France, a bingo party, and a qui2; program — all in French.

We sang the songs everyone loves: great hymns, the Rosary, Mozart ' s Al- leluia, the Recessional, and many oth ' ers, finding in them a release from the worry and strain of a war torn world. We were privileged to present several programs in conjunction with the choir. Among there were numerous programs in chapel, wherein we interpreted the great hymns of the ages. We also had the pleas- ure of appearing in several of the local churches. Our big program of the year, however, was, as always, the annual Christ- mas concert. It was then that we brought to the campus. Miss Florence Manning, well-known soprano, whose lovely voice drew much praise from the audience. Mr. Stride gave us much of his time and energy, and he was ably assisted by our president, Louise Harrell.

T. C. Madrigal Singers. What fun it was for us, by the simple process of exchanging our sweaters for our robes, to step from our normal roles as boogie-woogie fans back into the era when knights were bold and ladies fainted at a word. Our bi-weekly meetings were kept lively as we tried vaHantly, under the direction of Pat Maddox, to master the difficult count- erpoint and fugue of madrigals — to make them so much a part of us that they were as natural as our own modern music. Our work was not in vain, for we received many invitations to sing, both in churches and at civic clubs. The real reward for our labors, however, came in April at Duke Univers- ity. At that time, after we as members of the Choir had sung the Requiem in the Duke Chapel, we presented a program of light Enghsh madrigals for the Sunday night Sing — a fitting climax for a successful year.

Shackleford, Ojlin, Major, Reynolds, Taylor College Choir And A Cappellas It has been said that man can forget his personal ills and misfortunes when listening to beautiful music. Working on this principle, the Choir seized every opportunity to sing in public, never forgetting what a privi ' lege it was that we might freely sing, while in other countries even song was controlled. Naturally, this meant work. And work we did, even giving up our Sunday afternoons so that we might further perfect our music. Our old favorite, the Brahms ' Requiem, was our major pro- ject for the year, and under the direction of Mr. Strick we found new beauty in the familiar work. Another project was the presentation of famous hymns in Chapel with Dr. Walmsley as interpreter. Wartime hmitations curtailed our usual tours, but we were able to travel to Duke University, where we joined their Glee Club for a presentation of the Requiem in the Duke Chapel. Our year was successful ' ly completed when Duke paid a return visit to us and we sang the same oratorio in our own auditorium under the direction of the famous organist and composer, Dr. T. Ter- tius Noble. SENIOR A CAPPELLA Front row, left to right: Cummings, Bugg, Blackwe ' l, Maddox, Blair, Prosise Second row: Titmus, Shevick, J. Messick, L. Messick, B.

I., Wash- ington and Lee, and all nearby colleges. Handicapped by the lack of men from the Virginia institutes, we caught a few dates on furlough but drew most of our partners from the local G. I. and V ' 12 talent of Camp Pickett and Hampden-Sydney. Beginning the prom season, fall Cotillion came up to all anticipations with music by Hall Thurston and his orchestra, decora- tions in the club ' s colors, green and yellow, orchids and new dresses and the usual flurry of excitement. You Stepped Out of a Dream seemed the most appropriate song to play for our president, Virginia Mae Ellett. In charge of music and decora- tions were Shirley Pierce and Lucille Lewis. Thirty-five old girls were taken into the club in the early tall. Bids to eighty-seven freshmen and new girls were sent out in November. With a tea dance and a formal, we en- tertained our dates at spring CotiHion. Goats, fearful of the wrath of old members, did an extra good job on the decorations and the arch under which the couples passed. Jean Arington, lovely to look at, led the intricate figure. The senior mem- bers of Nu received their identification bracelets. Mass spring cleaning occurred a week after the dance when the Goats with broom and dust pan aired out the school from basement to roof. De-glamorized and gaud- ily dressed, the new girls were objects of fun-making and a general rousing for two days. By Goat Court Tuesday night, they had earned their right to be full-fledged members. SHIRLEY PIERCE, Business Manager VIRGINIA MAE ELLETT, President BETTY BRIDGFORTH, Secretary-Treasurer JEAN ARINGTON, Figure Leader May Day Committee CiNCO de Mayo, FarmviUe ' s 1944 May Day, was named after a national holiday in Mexico. Just for the love of having a- May Day and giving it, the committee worked out the presentation as a study of Mexico and the characteristics of her people, showing the various kinds of people that make up that country. The program was in three parts. The Prelude was composed of dances by girls dressed as the Indians, stolid and unchanging; as the Mexicans, reveahng their culture absorbed from their borderlands; and as the tourist Americans, complete with slacks and dark glasses. The next part showed a typical market scene in one of the streets in Mex ' ico, lined with stalls and httered with chil ' dren. There was a platform for dancers and musicians. Then came the fiesta and the entrance of the May Queen. She and her court were the rulers of the Mexican celebration. At the fiesta, Orchesis gave the Jarabe, a Mexican dance. General chairman of the May Day was Virginia Mae Ellett; business chairman, Mildred Corvin; costumes, Dora Walker Jones and Margaret Lawrence; dance, Ruth Dugger; transportation. Patsy Connelly; staging, Mary Moore McCorkle; and mu ' sic, Ehzabeth Ann Jordan. Miss Emily Kauzlarich was in charge, and Miss Wheel ' er and Miss Her assisted her. Our commit- tee, working with our advisers, tried to carry out the Good Neighbor policy here on the campus at Farmville, through our May Day celebration. Front row, left to right: P.

It is time out. Suddenly the whistle brings the scene to life again, players stand up ready for action, and the cheers begin again. Onward Farm- ville echoes as voices ring out. Whether it was volleyball or bas etball or the ping ' pong tournament in the gym or a hockey or a baseball game on the athletic field, the Farmville spirit was the same. Siyice War Day last year all Farmville girls have faithfully worXed at sports or dances or gymnastics to get in the required three hours a wee to have as nearly as possible a healthy student body. In modern dance class after the first shoc of seeing how bony people looked in leotards, wor}{ began toward learning the basic rhythmic movements. Simple creative dances were the surprising result. The gymnastics have made some rough and ready individuals, though at first you were sure your bones were disintegrating. Mili- tary drills apparently had a great psychological effect on student opinion, for the question came out in the Rotunda as to whether or not imv forins would he suitable for S.T.C.ers. Class bells created a display of red and green gym suits and tennis shoes in the hall as students raced to and from physical ed. classes. Freshmen found themselves on rainy diays tumbling on mats, wrapping themselves around brooms, or playing with the inanimate variety of dumb-bells. Athletic Association A WARTIME world has little place for lazy bones. The Athletic Association continued the accelerated physical fitness program, begun last year, which provides for three hours of exercise a week for each girl. After the first few weeks the la:;y loosened up, and everyone participated in some sports or games, though we admit that at first we had some stiff sisters. The physical fitness program included classes in dancing, mihtary tactics, gymnas ' tics, and all types of sports from hockey and basketball to ping ' pong and badminton. As soon as we returned to school in Sep- tember, we presented a sports exhibition program for the freshmen to show them the variety of activities offered and how they might participate in them. Then rolls were signed for classes in dance or sports, and fall days were forgotten in the round of activity. With color rush on the near horizon, we sponsored Song Day with each class sub ' mitting an original song to cheer their col- ors on. The seniors won the prize of war stamps. Spirit ran high at color rush, and It ' s Red and White came true when Left to right: P. Connelly, Jeffreys, Miss Iler, S. Pierce, H. Wilson Ltlt to rij,ht B Seott M Oranjt Simnicns, Whittle, Leavitt, Wade, Dugge their banners outnumbered the green and white, and the seniors and sophs won the hockey games. In the spring, the color cup poster on the bulletin board found red and white ahead and green and white not far behind. One of the principal projects of the council this year was remodeling the cabin at Longwood for overnight parties. With the help of Mr. Graham, twelve bunks were built, and a dressing table, china cabinet and bridge tables added to the furnishings. Fall nights found the council cooking sup- per there and sleeping co2,ily clad in blue jean s and plaid shirts by the fire, which always necessitated a midnight search for logs. The open air gave us ravenous ap ' petites for breakfast. The council, headed by the president. Patsy Connelly, was composed of the fob lowing: vice-president, Shirley Pierce; secretary, Sara Jeffreys; treasurer, Helen Wilson; and the sports managers: Ophelia Whittle, hockey; Dottie Sue Simmons, bas- ketball; Ruth Dugger, tennis and ping- pong; Grace Loyd, swimming; Eleanor Wade, badminton; Bobby Scott, volleyball; Margaret Orange, softball; Mike Shiflett, archery; and social chairman, Lucy Man- son. Miss Her remained our faithful adviser. Monogram Club W AR had its efFect on our activities, for the rat caps were late in arriving, putting the emphasis in the fresh ' man ' sophomore hockey game on points to- ward the color cup rather than whether or not the rats stayed capped until Christmas. Dottie Sue Simmons supervised the sale of traditional small green and red paper hockey sticks pinned to all lapels at Color Rush. We sold cokes, nabs, candy, at the games and had a rollicking bingo booth at the circus. On days after the initiation of new members, we wore our blue and white monograms on our sweaters. We were the guests of the A. A. Council at their unfor- gettable week-end in Longwood cabin in the fall and spent the night laughing over bridge games, ice cold water, and the hard floor. Under the direction of Ruth Dugger, we sponsored hikes again this year for gym classes, and we feel we are physically fit for the gasless duration. Our thanks go to Sara Jeffreys, our presi- dent; Edith Lovins, vice-president; Eleanor Wade, secretary and treasurer, and to our adviser. Miss Her. They have exemplified the spirit of sportsmanship for which we stand. Left to right: Simmons, P. Connelly, Whittle, Jeffreys, B. Scott, Wade, Dugger, H. Wilson, M. A. Droste Left to right: M. A. Droste, V. Ellett, S. Pierce, :, Poll Orchesis JDLUE Monday was a time for loosening the biceps tightened by week-end laziness. Weekly Orchesis prac- tice brought work that was strenuous but fun. Creating our own dances with indi- vidual interpretations, we were encouraged and benefited by the guidance of Miss Emily Kauzlarich. Modern moods and styling highlighted our annual recital when the club gave their interpretation of Gersh- win ' s Rhapsody in Blue, emphasizing the importance of jazz in contemporary dance. The popular boogie was done in a special number by Virginia Mae Ellett and Betty Ellis. Early in March we began work on May Day. Costumes, lighting, and staging were but a few of the problems we had to face in the preparation. Especially inter- esting were the Mexican folk dances we learned for the fiesta scene. Although the apprentices were self-con- scious and shy at first, it was not long be- fore they were contributing their own dance creations to the group. With Ruth Dugger as our president, we worked long and hard, but the satisfaction of original work well done was our due reward. As a slogan we might say with a few added words, Trip the light fantastic toe in your own way. A A Varsity Bas etball VJrREAT spirit was shown at the class games, played as a round robin tournament, in which each class played the others. On the first day the sophomores defeated the seniors, and the juniors, the freshmen. In the second round the sophs were victorious over the juniors, and the frosh over the seniors. On the third day, which determined what colors would gain points for the Color Cup, the sophomores conquered the freshmen, and the juniors, the seniors, making a tie and thus a division of the tallies. The seniors were led by Dot- tie Sue Simmons; the juniors by Eleanor Wade; the sophomores by Louise Blane; and freshmen by Margaret Lohr. The members of the sub ' varsity team were: Kitty Sue Bridgforth, Ruth Cum- mins, Martha Droste, Beanie Dudley, Mar- garet EUett, Ann Hauser, Marian Hubbard, Sue Hundley, Margaret Lohr, Dot Owens, Katherine Parker, Betty Parrish, Nancy Parrish, Mary Agnes Sheffield, Nellie Smith, Rebecca Tomlinson, Anne Tucker, and Mickey Williams. Late in March, we journeyed to Camp Pickett for the only outside game of the season — a victory over the WACS. Front row, left to right: Lovins, E Second row: H. Wilson, Griffin, Be Scott, M. A.

Down the field went the for ' ward hne, passing the ball in and out, push ' ing and driving toward the scoring circle, only to be stopped by the defense. Hockey season was in full swing. Cold winds brought out new fashions in hockey attire. Blue jeans, G. I. overalls, wool slacks, rid ' ing pants, and all kinds of sweaters and jackets greeted the spectators ' eyes. We who played found it hard to run down the field bundled up, but practices had to go on. Our captains — senior, Mildred Droste; jun- ior, Ophelia Whittle; sophomore, Billy Waid; freshman. Beanie Dudley — led us through fast, well fought games. The tour ' ney this year was a round robin. The sen ' iors were triumphant over all other classes, theirs being the one defeat marked up against the juniors, and the sophs were victorious over the freshmen. Red and white, through the vim and vigor of the senior and sophomore classes, were the tri ' umphant colors when the teams met on Color Rush day in November. ■a o HnO Club L O promote and further the interest of swimming in the school is the aim of the H O Club. This year they reached the goal of this aim, by making swimming one of the outstanding sports in the athletic program. Through a demonstration of different swimming strokes and dives the club gave the spectators a definite idea of the use ol swimming as an active exercise. Under the capable direction of Gloria Pollard, this demonstration proved successful. Saturday nights a visit to the pool always found an H-O Club member on hand. Be ginners splashed, and the intermediates and advanced swimmers swam to the music of the Hit Parade, provided by a portable radio. An inter ' collegiate telegraphic meet was next on the year ' s program. As gas and tires prevented us from traveling, our meet was carried out by telegraph with a number of schools participating. Headed by officers Mildred Droste, pres ' ident, and Harriette Moore, secretarytreas ' urer, the club took in thirteen new members during the winter quarter. They were Grace Loyd, Ehse Hume, Cabell Overby, Betty Haywood, Robin Lear, Betsy Math ' ews, Isabel Sampson, Kitty Kearsley, Vir ' ginia Naylor, Martha Droste, Evelyn Perry, Elizabeth Goodwyn and Betty Lee.

Volleyball W HEN cold weather came and we could no longer play on the athletic field, we sought a sport which could be played indoors, but which would call for active exercise. Volleyball seemed the ideal choice. Dressed in our green and red gym suits, we made a colorful group as we at ' tempted to keep the ball from touching the floor in its journeys back and forth across the net. In our classes taught by Miss Her and Bobbie Scott, manager, we learned many new skills about volleyball, sometimes hav ing three games going at once. As the quar ' ter went on and we began to. improve on the techniques, we organized into class teams. From there we had to work hard, for the tournament was drawing uncom- fortably near, and we wanted to support our colors to the best of our ability. When the time for the tournament did arrive, ex ' citement was at a high pitch. Since it was a round ' robin affair, we played not only classes of opposing colors, but our sister classes as well. The gym was packed with supporters, cheering their teams on at every game. At the end of the week the scores were tabulated and the Red and White crowned champions. A A Pegasus ITH good horsemanship chance. Those lucky in pitching pennies as its goal, Pegasus again sponsored the annual Spring Horse Show at Longwood, its most important event of the year. Open to town people, the show gave an oppor- tunity for the riders of S. T. C. to compete with outsiders. War Stamps took the place of trophies presented to the best performers. Under the student instruction of Joyce Cheatwood, we trained on the ring behind the library. On Saturday afternoons, how- ever, the club members took cross country rides on the trails at Longwood and Hamp- den-Sydney. Our circus booth featured a game of won a pri e. During the fall, our girls sold doughnuts, and as a result of these projects, Pegasus was able to have quarterly socials and sponsor the horse show. Our officers were Joyce Cheatwood, president; Jean Smith, vice-president; Mary Sterrett, secretary; and Betty Little, treas- urer. To those advanced riders who could saddle and bridle a horse, jump, and ride a five-gaited horse, went the distinction of be- ing members of the Dusty Boots. Mary Sterrett, Lucille Jones, Betty Ellis, Jean Smith, and Joyce Cheatwood achieved this goal. Left to right: Cheatwood, Little, Higgins, J. Smith Left to right DuKULi W limlL P. Watts. F. Lcc Tennis AmERICA S favorite sport is a favorite at S. T. C. also. During the warmer months the tennis courts were put to good use by the girls. They could be seen on any sunny day, working off excess poundage as they ran around the courts, viciously wielding their racquets in various forms of forehand and backhand strokes. Some of us were good and some not so good. It was for the latter that the manager, Ruth Dugger, and Miss Her held classes. We worked hard and many were the hours we spent on the courts striving to perfect our form and at the same time absorb a little Vitamin D to keep us healthy through the winter. With an eye toward possible points for the color cup, we went out to support the colors in the annual fall singles tournament. Ruth Dugger, last year ' s champion, again proved to be tops in tennis, and Red and White added more points to the color cup race. Ping Fong Ping-pong is a sport which can be played all year around. This combined with the hope that lives in every girFs heart that she might one day beat one of the soldiers when playing at the Center, makes it one of the most popular sports at S. T. C. On Saturday play nights, the httle gym was usually ringing with excited shouts, the funny click of the balls against the wooden paddles, and the thumping of feet as we ran to catch up with escaping balls. It was the job of Ruth Dugger, manager, to keep up the students ' interest in the sport. In connection with this effort, the Athletic Association sponsored a ping ' pong tournament, in which representatives of all classes, senior, junior, sophomore, and freshman, participated. After a hot con- test, Lucille Jones, sophomore, emerged vic- torious, giving Red and White points to- ward the coveted Color Cup. A A Left to right: L. Jones, Higginbotham Softball Play Ball. To those of us who rushed out from dinner to the athletic field, these words meant not only Softball practice, but another hour of fun before dark. Early in the spring, we pulled out balls, bats, and bases, and set up a dia ' mond where eighteen girls pitched, hit, and ran to put across the winning run. Since points toward the color cup were given to the winning teams, members of the four classes came out for important practices before the decisive games. Red and white battled green and white in close, well- fought contests. Left to right: M. Watts, M. Orange, K. Wright A A Left to right: M. Griziard, JetTreys Archery Golf i SHOT an arrow into the air. It fell to earth, I know not where — . We were supposed to aim for the target but infrequently, we missed our mark and had to spend some precious time searching for arrows. During the fall and spring months the three targets on the ath- letic field were always busy, as Mildred Shiflett conducted classes in the art of arch ' ery. The season culminated with a tourna- ment in the spring. O. T. C. girls lined up practicing drives, or tramping across the grass looking for stray balls were familiar sights on the course at Longwood. With Mr. Graham as instructor, we soon learned the meaning of driver, putter, mashie and plain and locked grip. When it rained, we practiced on the driving range and artificial green down in the basement, but good weather found us competing with one an- other on the fairways of Longwood. Swimming Splash ! Another be- ginner had made her first dive into the cool green water of our pool. Shirley Pierce, senior, taught the freshman classes and through her guidance they advanced to the intermediate stage. Grace Loyd managed the inter-class swimming meet. Both Green and White and Red and White were outstanding in competition. Taboo was on the shower room every week night. The Navy had taken over to teach the H. S. sailors aquatic feats. Left to right; Waid, Wade Badminton Forced indoors by the winter weather, the tennis enthusiasts kept m practice by playing hard, fast games of badminton. With Eleanor Wade as manager, we learned the variations in strokes that must be used with a lighter racket. Whether we played doubles or singles, we found that a good game of bad- minton required intricate skill that came with practice, and an extra supply of wind. The keynote saying became watch the birdie, and we did. Left to right; L. McCorklc, P. Connelly, V. Ellett, B.

To her it may signify release from the routine of classes, to a lighter world where she may relax, and for a time, forget the more serious side of life. She may go to her room for a game of bridge and a hull session, or perhaps to the chapter room to pin the chatter and dis ' cussion of a sorority meeting. On Saturday nights she is busy as she puts the finishing touches on her ma e ' up, for she may he primping for a school dance or for a USO entertainment.

Watts Alpha Sigma Tan Reminiscing is fun, and this year in Alpha Sigma Tau will pre vide memories for many future bull ses- sions. After our return in the fall we rushed to clean up the chapter room and to disarrange it again immediately. It is an endless process, but we took pride in every article in the room, especially the radio and vie. The new records were wonderful, but we still liked to relax and listen to the old favorites. Of course, we had to find out what everyone had done during the summer; we decided that in addition to the coke and nab parties we had occasionally, we ' d get together every other Thursday night for a little fun and frolic. As there were plans to be made, our pres ' ident, Jean Arington, put us to work. With Sally Robertson as vice-president, Nancy Langhorne as secretary, Frances Rainey as treasurer, and Anna Lee Blanton, our edi- tor, as historian, we had a successful year. Again, Miss Bedford, with her untiring interest and integrity, acted as our faculty adviser. First emphasis was placed on war work, which we attacked with vigor. Besides roll- ing bandages, knitting, and serving as hos- tesses at the U. S. O. Center, we danced until we dropped. We enjoyed every min ' ute of it. We had a gala time in the Tea Room honoring Founder ' s Day on November 4, for the food was wonderful. We fondly recall the Christmas party with Miss Nich- ols ' Christmas story, the tree, the fun and the jokes. During fall rush season we received three new pledges: Jerry Titmus, Margie Lee Culley, and Vivian Edmunds. To this num- her we added Dorothy Bennett, Betty Bibb, Beatrice Bruch, Ann Carter, Jean Daniels, Martha Droste, Mildred Ellis, Barbara Kellam, Ann Masloff, Elizabeth Meeks, Anne Nichols, Evelyn Perry, Virginia Puh len, and Doris Ramsey in the winter rush season. We won ' t forget the outgoing seniors, with their bridge parties at three a. m., their phone calls from Michigan, their men and their mix-ups, and their headaches over teaching. The comradeship we shared as members of Alpha Sigma Tau has been fun. Front row, left to iisht: H,.j;c. McKcnry, Bobbitt, E. McLean Second row: L. Jordan, Danby, L. Jones, M. A.

Our room looked as if the war had struck it; however, after days of deciding which iron, lamp or rug belonged to whom, we finally put everything in order and began to enjoy our furniture. This summer, as last, we gave up the idea of a house party because of transportation. Having seen each other only occasionally since spring, our greetings were more than hilarious. Before we realized it, fall rushing was upon us and to our delight brought us Jerry Beckner of Roanoke, Virginia Lee Aber- nathy of Cochran, and Annie Gay Ward from Gladstone. An added attraction came to our chapter this year — a new adviser. Miss Lucille Jennings — an attraction which brought warmth and sound advice. Though Miss Draper was no longer our adviser, a lovely tea in her apartment proved that she didn ' t forget us. Our president, Jane Hobson A A Seated, left to right: Major, Wiseman, Verell, C Williams, Huddle Standing: Bowling, Prosise Chappell, was sometimes relieved of her We concentrated on the war effort, saving duties by Jean Akers, our vice-president, money tor a bond, rolling bandaj es, enter- who did a good job of educating the pledges.

Center, buying war stamps with our extra money, and giving up such unnecessary entertainment as ban- quets. This year in Theta Sig was in- teresting — one which will not be easily for- gotten. Phi Zeta Sigma DLUE draperies, gay slip covers, new silver and china brought about mere comfort and attractiveness in our chapter room. Not the least important ornament in the room is the scholarship plaque which we won this year. At our first coke and nab party our officers — Lucille Cheatham, president; Mary Eh2,abeth Grizzard, vice-president: Alice Feitig, recording secretary; Roberta Davis, treasurer; Margaret Bear, corres- ponding secretary; Mary Sterrett, historian; Alice Nichols, Pan-Hellenic representative; and Margaret Lawrence, social chairman — were guests of honor. A poem with every present was the motto at our Christmas party. The home economics majors proved their ability by preparing the buffet supper. During winter rushing it was hard to re- frain from smiling too broadly at the girls we were so eager to have in the chapter. After four days of frantically opening bids, our fondest hopes were realized.

We defeated those Sunday afternoon blues with four o ' clock teas. There was al ' ways Miss London in her usual capacity of good friend and adviser with us. We also enjoyed lots of food and fun. Despite our varied sorority activities, we found time for additional extra ' curricula work. Mary Liz, Gri2;2ard was president of the Granddaughters ' ; Alice Nichols headed the Debaters; Mary Rucker led the Canter- bury Club. Margaret Lawrence designed our May Day costumes, and Nell HoUo ' way served on the War Council. Lucille Cheatham started our knitting for the Red Cross. Whenever we were in the mood for song, we had Louise Harrell — Choral Club president to direct us. Our most exciting celebration was held in February when several of our alumnae returned for our Founder ' s Day week-end. Seated, left to right: Stokes, V. Terrell, Watkins, H.

Louise McCorkle, with her easy way of getting things done, was president of the chapter for the year, with Dora Walker Jones, vice-president; Louise Bell, recording secretary; Betty Bridgforth, corresponding secretary; and Nancy Harrell, treasurer. Miss Pauhne Camper, encouraging and guiding us, was our faculty adviser. Our national president, Mabel Lee Walton, hon- ored us with a visit this year, and also Mrs. Leonard Carson, national Social Service Chairman, inspected our chapter, bringing news and helpful ideas from other chapters.

They were famihar invitations to all the G. T. ' s, for whenever there are a few minutes to spend before supper, a moment to pass while waiting for a meeting, or a visiting friend to entertain, the chapter room is where we go to find fun and relaxation. We shall not soon forget the fun up there, nor fail to remember the big times else where. In later years when Gammies meet, we very hkely shall remember those won ' derful parties Ann Blair used to give, Faye ' s wedding, with seven G. T. ' s in Suffolk for the occasion, the sparkle in E. Banks ' eyes and her third finger left hand after Christ ' mas, Mary Harvie Reaves and Betty Cross, the returning alumnae for our eventful one and only banquet, the attractive dates at our intermission party at Pan Hels, and the old girls who returned for Cotillion. More seriously, our pledging and initia ' tion services inspired in us a warm feeling of loyalty and love that will last throughout the years. The singing together of our be- loved songs after parties will always, in reminiscing, rekindle in us the longing to be back and a feeling of gratitude for the joy that has been ours. Luck was with us at pledging time this winter quarter when fourteen girls signed their bids. Colleen Agee, Betty Lou Hay ward, Sue Hundley, Robin Lear, Sarah Leach, Patsy McLear, Margaret Sheffield and Virginia Fry Terrell are our new fresh ' men members; Katharine Parker and Mary Virgmia Walker, our soph transfers; Jose- phine Beatty, Betsy Caldwell, Betsy Fox and Poguey Massey, the new junior G.

Our first thought was to make our way to the chapter room, where all the things stored for the summer greeted us. They were soon put in order, and after the pur ' chase of a few new records, we were in the swing once again! However we did miss many famihar faces, including that of our president, Myrtle Lee. Elections were held, and Mully was elected to take her place. Fall rushing was soon under way. Our future Alpha Sigma Alphas taken in at this time were Katherine East, Dorothy Overstreet, and Barbara Surface. Before exams we took time off for our Christmas party, which was attended by our town alumnae. During the holidays we had our furniture recovered and soon afterwards had the room painted. Winter rushing was a time of great excitement, and at the end of rush week the following pledges were wel ' corned into Alpha Sigma Alpha: Cecilia Arthur, Lucy Bralley, Mary Stuart Buford, r Seated on steps, left to right: Pjlmci.

In February our an- nual banquet was a success in every way. We received quite a thrill when our first issue of Alpha News was published, con- taining news of our chapter and sisters. There was also much excitement in the chapter room when a large box was opened containing hats, T ' shirts, and cardigans bearing our letters and emblem. To Miss Margaret Hall, our faculty ad- viser, we give hearty thanks for cooperation and interest in us during the past year. Our officers for the year were Mary St. Clair Bugg, president; Lillian Elliott, vice-presi- dent; Sue Harper, treasurer, and Dottie Sue Simmons, secretary.

Returning in the fall we found the chap ' ter room shrouded in white, with personal possessions piled high. Moving day came late and spring cleaning early, when we donned blue jeans and bandannas to put the room back in order. In November the seniors were invited to Miss Wheeler ' s for a waffle supper, the rest of us anxiously awaiting our turn. The Christmas party was a huge success, colored lights under the punch bowl, and candles gave a mellow glow to the chapter room, decorated with evergreens and featuring a Christmas tree. The usual goodies and the exchange of gifts heightened the holiday spirit. January leaves us memories of rushing, Sinatra ' s I Couldn ' t Sleep a Wink Last Night and the thrill of fourteen pledges: Helen Apperson, Hilda Bennett, Virginia Sutton Bland, Joan Davis, Shirley Gibson, Doris Harper, Janice Halstead, Earlene Kimmerling, Sara Moling, Doris Lee Mur ' ray, Ann Shufilebarger, Mary Preston Sheffey, Rosemarie Waggner, and Jenny Woodward. In honor of Eleanor Wade, our presi- dent, we danced our no-break number to Smoke Gets in Your Eyes at Pan-Hels. During the first meeting that the new girls attended, we reviewed briefly the history of Mu Omega, and indirectly by scrapbooks and personal recollections acquainted them with some of our alumnae. Their chance to meet many of the old girls came when we had our alumnae banquet in April. The Mu Os put away those delicious rolls and then took time to toast each other, and of course. Miss Wheeler. The greatest event of the year was our trip to Richmond to buy the picture. Th rough the perseverance of Jane and Marilyn, and the grace of the Norfolk and Western Railroad, we got Peace and Plenty back to the chapter room in time ior rushing. Spring exams found us curled up in a chair or stretched out on the rug with notes and coke. We were studying. During the last days of school, we stored our junk, said goodbye to the room and turned the key on another successful year. Front row, left to right: Cruser, Nixon, Shackelford, Ingle, Calvert Back row: Adams, Bradshaw, Wade, Prehhle, Cobbs, Knapton, Blackwell, Hill 177 Pi Kappa Sigma Jtv AIN running down our necks and uncurling our hair couldn ' t stop the Pi Kaps from making a beeline for the chapter room as soon as we arrived in school this fall. As we slushed merrily through the mud puddles, loaded to the teeth with various articles stored in the room during the summer, we managed to catch up on most of the holiday gossip. As soon as the chapter room was fit for habitation, we settled down and began to count noses. Our ranks had thinned some- what; though we missed many faces, we found that the Pi Kaps who were still with us made a rather attractive group. Later, we found time for a few coke ' n nab parties as we made exciting plans for the future. First on the list was room renovation. Fresh paint, new curtains, and pieces of new furniture not only improved the room immensely, but lifted our morale into the I ' A class. After celebrating our Founders Day in November, we found to our surprise that Christmas was not far away. This occas- ioned a party in the good Pi Kap style.

Dickinson chapter room, lovely in candle ' light, plenty of food, the traditional songs — all gave us another memory to keep in our good time ledger. After Christmas came rushing. When the smoke of battle cleared away, we looked about us and found that we had added fifteen attractive pledges to our roll. They are Madelyn Ayers, Lucy Barger, Nancy Barrett, Margaret Brace, Page Cook, Martha Russell East, Shirley Ethe- ridge, Mary Elizabeth Fuqua, Margaret Lohr, Mary Ann Loving, Beverly Peebles, Mabbot Perkins, Frances Seward, Mary Agnes Sheffield, and Lynn Sprye. These new girls were honored at our spring ban ' quet in the Tea Room. The warm sun of spring found us either on the roof getting a brand new batch of freckles, or watching our president, Vif ginia EUett, direct May Day rehearsals. Be ' fore we knew it exams were upon us and, too soon, commencement. As we packed away our things once again, we bade fare ' well to our seniors, to Miss Her, and to another good year for Pi Kappa Sigma.

Hawthorne A A Pan-Hellenic Council Accept ' ' and regret were important words when the members of the Pan ' Hellenic Council met after lunch on rushing days. The box was opened and the small white invitations returned to the chapter representatives who dashed madly back to the chapter rooms with the news of who took which. Conducting rushing was an exacting but very exciting business. We collected lists of rushees and Miss Cleaves explained to the new girls the rules and regulations of rushing. All the sorority girls donned Sunday bests for the tea in the fall, when Jane Ford, our president, presented the scholastic plaque to the Phi Zeta Sigmas. The council is made up of a representative and the pres ' ident from each chapter. As a coordinating unit among the eight sororities, we dis ' cussed mutual problems and familiarized every sorority girl with her obligations by the annual Pan ' Hellenic exams. March found us deep in preparation for Pan ' Hels, which was worth the time we spent on it. Under gay decorations, we danced with servicemen and civilians to the music of the Vagabonds. All too soon, white dresses and candle light meant the installation service and the completion of our work. A Red and White banner hangs dauntlessly from Whitehouse, showing victory fc . . . Circus clowns bne up for the big parade . . . looking almost as funny : their turn in the antics of little Rat Circle, the seniors and i the rats below sophs at Colo. Rush vho wait timidly for Above: The halt at the Color Rush games with the scores close found players timeouting, spectators chatting, and a lieutenant just looking. Everyone wore green and white or red and white and bought cokes from Monogram Club members. From the broad grins of Kim and Phyllis, Red and White must have been ahead. Below: With a yell, On Sides, spectators lean forward in their seats on the athletic field steps and the team charges down the field. Some one strikes up the Red and White song and the last AH hail is drowned in the strains of Green and White. One team scores and blinding sun and hard steps are forgotten in the cheers. Above: Mardi Gras in February brought the swish of taffeta and cnno- Hne as the 1860 Southern Belles of the court, with their escorts, made way for the queen of the masquerade, Virginia Mae Ellett. Gypsy girls, valentines, hoboes and Carmen Mirandas removed their masks and the fun began. Below; Confusion reigns supreme as the crowd heads for lunch, the lab, chapel, an ice cream cone from the Tea Room, or the building for time out fun. Saddle shoes and socks, raincoats and scarfs, books and notebooks, laughs and letters, make the sidewalk scenes an every- day, unforgettable part of Farmville. - i. r . 1. Bulling as usual ... 2.

A - - 100 Acknowledgment XxNOTHER cycle is completed and once again another edition of The Virginian is off the press. In it we hope that we have em ' bodied the typical hfe here at school in ' 43 ' ' 44, and that in the years to come it may bring to mind the hours spent at various activities of both work and play. May this volume serve as the history book of Farmville for this unforgettable wartime year. The finished product is a composite of the efforts of the entire staff. Gratitude for their work, from picture taking and writing to the mental and physical strain to meet the accelerated wartime schedule, is hardly sufficient and it is here that we offer them our sincerest thanks. The publication of the Good Book could never have been fully reah ed with ' out the aid and advice of a number of individuals and groups. For their cooperation and helpfulness we gratefully acknowledge the services of the following: Jahn and Oilier Engraving Company, Chicago, for their aid in drawing up our layout and art work. Chiefly do we mention Mr. Gordon Bnghtman whose friend ' ship, enthusiasm and advice helped us through many a problem. J. P. Bell Company, Lynchburg, for their services and especially Mr. W. W. Brown whose suggestions and letters cleared many difficulties for us. Gitchell ' s Studio, Harrisonburg, for making our group pictures. PearsalFs Studio, Roanoke, for making our individual class pictures. Davidson ' s Studio, Farmville, for making our Personality pictures. Foster ' s Studio, Richmond, for making the pictures of our dedicatee. Miss Eliza ' beth Burger. Miss Virginia Bedford of the Art Department here at S. T. C. for her work and advice which she willingly gave to the art sections of our book. Miss Nancy Foster of the Farmville English Department whose services bet ' tered the literary lines of the annual. Mr. T. A. McCorkle who remained our patient chief adviser. Dividing his time between us and his innumerable activities, Mr. Mac quickly straightened out our problems with words of invaluable advice. Without him the publication of the 1944 Virginian would never have been achieved. His stories of the Ration Board pulled us through many times when the going seemed long and rough. Finally, our thanks to the Student Body, the Faculty, and the Administration for their interest and support throughout the entire year.
