We sing popular songs and learn our class and color songs at the freshman parties. We leave in June with strains of the Alma Mater and the daisy chain song ringing in our ears. We will cherish the memory of our school years always and will recall happy incidents by perhaps rememb ' ering Cab ' s playing boogie, songs by the King Cole Trio, We are the Green and Whites, solemn tapping ceremonies, favorite hymns, productions, What ' s the Matter with Jarman, winning circus stunts, modern dance, and even the musical sound of Mrs. Tabb ' s No more breakfasts. As the years go by and the memories of our college days become hazy, these songs and tunes, as we recall them, will help remind us of Farmville, where our happiest days were rolled into four wonderful years. The purpose of a yearbook is to be a real memory book or glorified family album, a complete history of a year of college life. We have chosen Music that is Farmville as the theme for the book this year. We wished to pay tribute to Farmville songs. Many times you will pick up this book and thumb through its pages. If what you see helps you to remember Farmville in 1947, then we have fulfilled our purpose. _- j seniors we sing. with, a eaten in out voices for daus that are almost complete. SENIOR CAPPING SERVICE The value of the little things which people do is often overlooked. It is not necessarily the si2,e of the deed but the way it is performed. The insig ' nificant is sometimes more valuable and important than the superficial or outstanding incidents in our lives whether it be just a friendly smile or a nod to help us go through the day in better spirits. Some people are assets to our everyday living with ' out our being truly conscious of it but without whose aid and presence we could not progress. It is such a person to whom we wish to pay tribute — one who has made possible the publica ' tion of many Virginians — serving as our literary adviser. With the addition of her subtle humor she has corrected errors in copy, approved and corrected every bit of writing, and never failed to help us at any time. She has served for a longer time as a member of the English Department faculty. It has fallen her lot in the last few years the difficult task of teach ' ing grammar to the freshmen. The students ' love of her course in Modern Novel is almost as great as her love of fiction, even detective stories. It is with these tasks in mind and with deep ap ' preciation of her service that we dedicate the 1947 Virginian to Miss Nancy Foster. Miss Nancy Foster THE ROTUNDA THE LIBRARY JUNIOR SECTION OF CUNNINGHAM HALL SENIOR SECTION OF CUNNINGHAM HALL LONGWOOD mm A m DMlilSTRilTlfli ZJku aentie iitAtruction, titu influence Ao Sweet President of the College It doesn ' ' t seem possible that Dr. Lancaster has been with us only one year. His warm and friendly smile has won a place in the hearts of each of his girls. Dr. Lancaster came to us from the post of State Superintendent of Public Instruction. Thus, he was fully able to guide one of the State Teachers Colleges. He entered his new job with firm in ' tentions of making Farmville the best teachers coL lege in the state. We have noted and appreciated his efforts. We were eager to see our new president in September; on October the twenty ' fourth with the inauguration, we really felt that he had assumed his office. On this occasion we were honored by having with us the governor, the State Board of Education, and representatives of all the Virginia Colleges. This year, we know, has been a trying one for Dr. Lancaster. But as the freshmen put it, We had rather have Dr. Lancaster than anyone else we know. Home Department Under the guidance of Dean Martha Smith Smith, the Home Department became an integral part of our school life. Examples for us to follow have been given us. In the Main Building Mrs. Fitzpatrick, Mrs. Laing, Mrs. Blackwell, and Mrs. McCoy aided Dean Smith; Miss Hamner, Mrs. Warren, and Mrs. Eastham directed student hving in Cunning ' ham Hall. Checking rooms, keeping quiet during study hour, and signing out and checking in were just a few of the many duties of the staff of the Home Department. We often complained but just as often reah2;ed that the Home Department was an indispensable and truly worthy part of the college administra ' tion. Unconsciously we benefited from their guid ' ance and worked to reach the goals they estab ' lished. They remain as a never ' tO ' be ' forgotten part of our college life. President Emeritus Those of us who were students while Dr. Jar ' man was President of the college remembered and missed his cheery smile and the red rosebud as we walked through the halls every day this year. As President Emeritus, Dr. Jarman has visited the coL lege on many occasions and we have enjoyed those visits to the utmost. Although he was not active in college life this year, the memory of his ideals, which he presented to his girls during his forty four years as President, inspired us this year to give our best to our work. Dean of the College WiUiam W. Savage was appointed Dean of the College by Dr. Lancaster, President, and he as- sumed his new position on April L The office held by Mr. Savage was newly created this year. The major portion of Mr. Savage ' s work was giv ' ing counsel to the students. Preceding his appoint- ment to State Teachers College, Mr. Savage served as assistant head of the Richmond Consultation Service and Supervisor of Consultation Service throughout Virginia. Physical Education The Department of Physical Education has a two ' fold purpose: first, to provide professional courses in physical and health education that will prepare students to direct play and recreational activities and to teach hygiene; second, to provide an opportunity for all students to engage in dc velopmental and recreational activities. Skill in dancing and in various sports is essential to one who expects to become a teacher of physical education or a worker in the field of recreation. Classes in health education, corrective exercises, and the teaching of physical education were taught by Miss Mary Barlow, who heads the department. In charge of aU seasonal sports was Miss Olive T. Her, associate professor. Classes in dance were taught by Miss Emily Kaudarich. These classes included tap dancing, modern dancing, and social dancing. Swimming classes were under the direc tion of Miss Mary Dabney. For recreational pur ' poses, the swimming pool was open to students at certain hours. Science and Mathematics In the field of science, we find the courses di ' vided into two departments. The Department of Biology includes courses in general biology, botany, zoology, bacteriology, anatomy, and physiology. Listed under the Department of Chemistry and Physics we find courses in science for teachers in the elementary and secondary schools. In these two major departments we find many capable m- structors: Dr. Jeffers, Mr. McCorkle, Dr. Higgin- botham. Dr. Brumfield, and Miss Burger. Most of the courses in the department of bi- ology, except those in the first year, require a num- ber of laboratory hours. Students frequently find it necessary to give more than the required number of hours to laboratory work. The Department of Mathematics is planned pri- marily to prepare teachers to teach this subject and to prepare them to meet the demands of real life. A variety of courses, such as algebra, trigono- metry, calculus, and plane, analytical, and solid geometry, are offered under the department of mathematics. Methods classes, which are of great help to student teachers, are also taught. The his- tory of mathematics is required for all majors and minors. These courses are taught by Miss Carrie Tahaferro and Dr. Sutherland. Infirmary The infirmary this year and the infirmary of former years make a perfect example of ' ' before and after. Following the splendid ideas of Mrs. Packer, the infirmary was transformed from a drab, gloomy building to one filled with cheerfulness and a homey atmosphere. Attractive pictures were hung on the newly painted walls of pastel shades. Back Home For Keeps hung over the beds in the wards and brightened the days for those who were ill. Along with taking care of the patients, the in- firmary staff was busy giving thorough physical examinations to every girl in school. Mrs. Packer, Dr. Moore, and the assistants did their best to give the medical attention necessary for keeping us in good health. Library Science The purpose of the courses offered in library science is to prepare students for the duties of teacher-librarian in small schools. Classes which covered the requirements for teaching library science and serving as librarian in public schools were taught by Miss Ruffin. To augment their experience, those students who planned to be school librarians after gradua- tion were allowed to work as library assistants. They worked at the desk checking books in and out; their knowledge and experience in using the card catalogue system increased as they helped other students find books. History, Social Science and Geography The classes offered by the Department of Social Science and History brought to us a fuller under- standing of the problem confronting all nations today as they adapt themselves to new world re- lations. Dr. Walmsley headed the department, which was comprised of courses in history, social science, sociology, economics, and government. Miss Peck, Dr. Moss, Dr. Simkins, and Dr . Walmsley taught a variety of courses in the field of history, includ- ing the freshman course. History of Western Civilization, classes in Southern history with es- pecial emphasis on Civil War and Reconstruction, British history, Russian history and Far East his- tory. Through the sociology courses taught by Miss Stubbs, we became more conscious of problems facing our daily living. Courses in state and nat- ional government and in economics were taught also. In the department of geography, Miss Moran and Miss Waters taught courses dealing with the geography of Europe, Asia, and South America, and North America. English and Speech Under the direction of Mr. James M. Grainger, the English Department strives to coordinate its work with that of other departments in the college, and to obtain the cooperation of all the instructors in maintaining the use of good English in all classes. The work of the department consists of courses of language, composition, literature, and teaching of language arts in elementary and secondary schools. In addition to these fundamental courses. Journalism, Biblical Literature, courses in modern poetry, the short story, the novel, and Business English, and separate courses in Shakespeare, Browning, and Tennyson are offered. Mr. Graing ' er. Miss Mary C. Hiner, Miss Jennings, Miss Nichols, Miss Foster, and Mrs. Davis were our teachers in this department. Miss Leola Wheeler heads the Speech Depart- ment, which offers courses in voice and diction, public speaking, oral interpretation, and the history of the drama. The dramatic club is also under the direction of the Speech Department and develops the students ' special talents for play production. To give each member of the dramatic club sufficient training to enable her to direct a play is the aim of the director. Home Economics Under the guidance of Miss Tupper, Miss Jeter, Miss Gleaves, and Miss Hall, girls majoring in home economics are adequately prepared to teach and practice effectively the many phases of home economics. An important fact was that the college had been selected by the State Board of Education as one of the institutions for the education of Home Economics teachers in the state. The facilities of the Home Economics depart ' ment were competent in every way. An excellent collection of up ' tO ' date literature was available to the student as well as actual experience in labora- tories with modern equipment. The courses in Foods, Clothing, House Planning, Home Manage- ment, and Lunch Room Planning called for both library and laboratory. A quarter of teaching in the high school, and a quarter of living in the practice house on campus were two of the main features of a home economics major ' s senior year. Music and Art Our outstanding music department under the head of Mr. Strick, Miss Patterson, and Miss Clark has as its purpose to develop an understand- ing and appreciation of the best music of the world. Through group participation in song and direct listening to the many artists brought to the college, the department succeeded in giving ample oppor- tunity to the students. Through the many courses offered — the History of Music, Elementary Singing, Materials and Problems in Schools, General Music Appreciation, Choral work, Harmony and Orchestra — this aim was adequately achieved in our department of music. The Art Department oifered courses in Me- chanical Drawing, Clay Modeling, Drawing and Composition, Elementary Arts, Figure Drawing, and Appreciation. The two large labs, under the direction of Miss Bedford and Mrs. Lemon, pro- duced artistic drawings and sketches that were put on exhibit here during the year. A course in Practical Arts Education was of- fered by Miss Camper, Miss Bedford, and Miss Hall. Our Art Department is designed to supply the courses needed by students desiring to teach in public schools. Administrative Personnel The administrative personnel provided various types of service to the students. In the Registrar ' s office was kept a complete record of each student ' s work for the year. Our grades were recorded there, and a list of absences was kept. At the end of each quarter. Miss Bugg, Registrar, notified the students and their parents their academic standing. At the treasurer ' s office we paid our fees for the year. The Treasurer ' s office was also known as The Bank since we deposited our money there to be kept safely and withdrew it as it was needed. Probably one of the most popular spots on camp ' us was the Post Office, where Mrs. Cox, our post- mistress, was constantly beseiged with students begging for more letters or a larger package. The Tea Room was managed by Mrs. Tabb assisted by Mrs. Dugger. The dehcious meals there have brought a major debate of the day — Resolved: Cherry Roll is better than Caramel Pie. Languages Our Language Department gives courses in Latin and in the more modern languages — Spanish and French. Dr. Thompson taught Latin here and at Hampden ' Sydney; Miss Helen Draper taught French; Miss Emily Barksdale and Miss Draper taught Spanish. Not only were there courses in Spanish and French composition and grammar for beginners, but there were more advanced classes in Spanish and French literature. In Latin, one could take Virgil, Cicero, Horace, and other interesting courses, as well as classes in composition. A native Spanish student and a native French student assisted in teaching the classes to drill the students in correct pronunciation and oral uses of the language. The student assistants this year were Julia Perez; from Puerto Rico and Annette Vincent ' Viry from France. Teacher Training The administration and direction of teacher training for college students in the elementary school were operated jointly by local school au- thorities and the college. Preceding their actual practice teaching, stu- dents observed the methods and management as demonstrated by the training school faculty. Stu- dents conducted their practice teaching in the Ele- mentary School under the supervision of the train- ing school faculty. Frequent conferences with the supervisor, Miss Sibyl Henry, and the Director of Teacher Training, Dr. J. P. Wynne, were held. Principles and procedures to be used by the stu- dent teachers were discussed. In as far as possible, the student teachers were given a choice of the grade which they preferred to teach. Business Education The Department of Business Education was or- gani2;ed in the school year 1930-3 L It has rapidly grown into one of the largest departments of the college, with Mr. Merle L. Landrum at the head of the teaching staff, assisted by Mrs. J. P. Wynne, Miss Ottie Craddock, Mrs. Zita B. Hanford, Mr. Norman O. Myers, and Mr. Christy Snead. The courses offered covered every aspect of busi- ness, such as advertising, marketing, merchandis- ing, accounting, insurance, the use of office ma- chines, and practice in filing, office and personnel management, social security and payroll, business law, business organisation, and methods of teach- ing, in addition to the fundamental shorthand and typing. Girls receiving a degree in Business Educa- tion will be prepared not only for high school com- mercial teaching positions, but also for higher posi- tions in business administration. Diplomas are given to girls who complete a two-year course in business education. Education and Philosophy In all teachers colleges, the courses offered in education are of great importance. The Depart- ment of Education in our college is an outstanding department. Dr. John P. Wynne, a widely known educator, served as director of teacher education with six other teachers and professors teaching in this field: Mr. Coyner, Mr. Holton, Miss Camper, Miss Carter, Dr. Johnson, and Dr. Swertfeger. The courses of the Department of Education were grouped under four heads: education, phil- osophy, psychology and directed teaching. The freshman year was taken up with a variety of courses such as mathematics, science, history, and English, with the psychology courses fitting into the curriculum in the sophomore year. Courses in elementary and secondary education were of- fered in the junior year, and the philosophy courses and student teaching in the senior year. Installation Service for Dr. Lanxaster Mr. W. W.

I., .J E cherish the memorable events which have taken place in our four wonderful years at Farmville. We arrived at our college as freshmen one rainy day. Afraid that we should not make a good im ' pression our first day at Farmville, we plowed through several inches of rain, walking on our heels. From then on when we packed our trunks, we knew that it would be advisable to leave out our boots and trench coats. Although we were scared stiff, we smile now when we think how Ann Mingea, a lowly rat, too, greeted us in the Ro ' tunda our first day. She suffered rat week, and so did all the rest of us, especially Pete, who hasn ' t fully recuperated from shaking her shoulders and singing Pistol ' Packing Mama. True class spirit was displayed in our produc ' tion and in our circus stunts, which won second place all four years. Birdie ' s By the Sea, Brace ' s boogie, Kingdon ' s songs, Cab ' s Down the Road a Piece, Hilda ' s music, Grace ' s Harrigan, Nancy ' s dances are just a few of the things which we re- member most. The class of ' 45 endowed us with the true green- and-white spirit. It was their ideal which we tried so hard to capture. Our freshman year was given over largely to exploration of the college and its traditions, of the place we would be expected to fill here, of our talent and possibilities. We were busy searching for those qualities of leadership in our members which would do most toward de- veloping the spirit of cooperation which is so vital a part of class and college life. Now, as we end our senior year we feel that during the four years since we made our first ten- tative steps toward becoming a real part of Farm- ville, we have succeeded in grasping that intangible feeling — the Fannville spirit. We felt this spirit most keenly during and after the traditional cap- ping service last fall, and felt especially honored by being the first class to be capped by Dr. Lancaster. Then, there were plans for circus to be made. How we did plan! We even considered a circus on Mars, but as there was some little disagreement about what would compose a Martian circus, that plan was abandoned in favor of the S.A. fruit bowl. We ' re still laughing at Birdie and Chiqmta Banana, and we ' re still gloating complacently over the second pri2;e we won — a place which we held for four years. We were quite proud of our Heidi, who, in carrying out the gay-nineties theme of circus became Frivolous Sal and reigned over the big top. Upon the arrival of hockey season and the an- nual battle of colors we fought hard for the cup and were thrilled when we beat the juniors for the first time. As the seasons rolled around, our hopes soared; we stacked up more points for the color cup. Probably the event most eagerly anticipated by a senior is Senior Dance. We spent months mak- ing plans for ours, inviting dates and fearing that school would close early on account of the coal shortage. We had trouble executing B ' Lee ' s cart- wheel figure, but we produced an effective one with no missing spokes. We had the added at- traction of having Carlotta to lead us. In February came Mardi Gras with Gwen Ackiss as queen. With the coming of spring we looked forward to May Day, when Nancy White- head reigned over the Court dances. We enjoyed hikes to Longwood, even enjoyed spring fever. There were many wonderful things we hated to leave. We got a strange feeHng in the pit of our stomachs as we began to think of our future and make plans for next year. It ' ll be hard not to get the urge to pack up to come back in the fall. Those to whom we feel most responsible for making this such a super year are Margaret Ellett, who has splendidly led us for four years; Grace Loyd, vice- president; Betty Bibb, secretary; Anna Headlee, treasurer. Miss Her, our classman, helped us over the weak spots, guided, and advised us. We ' ll miss her. Who ' s Who twelve Aluaents chosen to represent armviile in WL ' , WL. EPRESENTiNG the Farmville State Teachers College in the thirteenth edition of Who ' s Who Among Students in American Col- leges and Universities were twelve seniors select ' ed by a committee composed of members of the administration and faculty. These students were chosen on the basis of extra-curricular activities, leadership, and scholarship. Each year a compilation of the biographies of outstanding students in America is published. To be eligible a student must be a junior or a senior, or must take advanced work. The purpose of the publication is to bring the outstanding students in America to the attention of the business world and to others who recruit students. The girls selected from the class of 1947 were Patsy Dale, vice-president of the Young Woman ' s Christian Association; Martha Russell East, presi- dent of the Young Woman ' s Christian Associa- tion; Margaret EUett, president of the Senior class and president of Alpha Kappa Gamma; Sue Hund- ley, editor-in-chief of the Virginian; Margaret Lohr, president of the Student Government As- sociation; Betty Minetree, vice-president of the Student Government Association; Katherine Par- ham, president of the House Council; Bettie Par- rish, member of the Monogram Club and Orchesis; Shirley Slaughter, editor-in-chief of the Rotunda; Nellie Smith, vice-president of the Athletic As- sociation; Nancy Whitehead, chairman of Student Standards and president of Orchesis; and Margaret Wilson, editor-in-chief of the Colonnade. Junior Class ace in annua ass won first id ircuS ORTY- eight! Forty-eight! For we are the class of forty-eight! This song, written when we were freshmen, will always hold mem- ories for the juniors. We sang it at hockey games, basketball games and anything in which red and white was competing. In S eptember when we returned to school, full of energy and pep, ready to begin a new school year, we were all excited about living in the Junior building for the first time. It was something new and different for us. We could hardly conceive the idea that it was really happening to us. After we had finally settled down to our new way of life, our thoughts naturally turned in the direction of what the class was going to do that year. The first big event of the year was the circus. At a meeting of the class, BeBe Geyer was unanimously chosen to direct this undertaking. After much brain racking she and her com- mittee decided to have as the theme The Good Ship Lollipop. There was much hard work on the part of everyone, and many late hours were kept so that the circus would be the best ever. Finally, the night came, and as usual we were ex- cited and nervous at the prospect. We were more than rewarded, though, when the winner was an- nounced, and we learned that the Junior Class had come out on top in the competition! After color rush, which came in November and turned out to be a tie, we started thinking about the inevitable exams. Following the Christmas holidays the next hap- pening was our class production. This was some- thing requiring much work and earnest effort. Again BeBe Geyer was elected to manage our production. As this was to be our last production, everyone was more than anxious for it to be a big success. Again, we worked late and long hours so that it would be in the best of shape when pre- sented. It seemed an endless job of costumes, props., and scenery. At last everything was in readiness, and the big night arrived. After it was over, everyone breathed a sigh of relief because it seemed to be a hit. Leading the Junior Class for 1946-47 were the following: president, Peepsie Brooks; vice-presi ' dent, Julia Booher; secretary, Mary Lou Bagley; treasurer, Dorris Ballance. Government repre- sentatives were Tucker Winn and Alice Ann Ab- ernathy. At a class meeting in March officers were elected for the coming year, and the same ones were re-elected with the exception of one govern- ment representative. George Ann Lewis was elected to this. To the Junior Class fell the responsibility for the May Day dance. GeGe Yonce was elected chairman of May Day dance. She appointed her various committees, and everyone had a wonderful time making the preparations for a dance that was thoroughly enjoyed by all who attended. The last and perhaps the greatest thrill of our junior year occurred when we walked under the seniors ' caps. We then were officially proclaimed seniors! We knew that the responsibility rested on us for the next year, and it was hard to believe that three years had passed since we first entered State Teachers College as timid, shy freshmen. Much had happened since then; now we were ready to start on the last part of our college career. We had really to strive to make that next year, our senior year, one to hold memories impossible to be forgotten. Sophomore Class ' S lAJiAe l-oolA lived until .1 We oolainea iKat l Ueeh wlten tneu opHOMOREs! Wise fools we were! But wasn ' t it wonderful! We had been wait- ing so long — one whole year — to reach that step in our school career when we could give the lowly freshmen a taste of what we ' d received as Rats the year before. Nancy Dickinson was head of Rat Week, and she did her job well. It lasted only one day and two nights, but we made the most of it. I mean! We worked through the year with a grand group of gals as our officers, and Charlie Hop was (and still is) the man in our life! Tootsie Ham- ilton was our president; Jean Cake, vice-president; Marjorie Miller, secretary; and Lee Staples, treas- urer. Following in the footsteps of our predecessors, we made Annex and Gym hall (they call it Post Office now) a gay place, indeed. I don ' t see how Millie Spain, Grace MaUory, and Mary Lawless ever kept their Georges straight with all those phone calls! And Violet ' s Tootsie! resounded over the entire school. Circus went off with a bang under the capable leadership of Jean Cake. Our contributions to the Gay Nineties were the memories of old-maid school teacher, Jane Taylor, Jackie Watson ' s singing I Love An Old-fashioned Song and Jean Watts ' and Pattie Page ' s Let Me Call You Sweetheart — Call Me Up Some Sunday Afternoon still linger in our memories. Those barbers, P. Bagley, Ham- ilton, and Ritchie, who warbled dear Sweet Ade- line were always good for a laugh! As usual, the Sophomore Class had charge of the coke machine in Whitehouse. You can ' t im- agine how many cokes are put away until you have to collect those bottles. The hockey games and Color Rush brought cheers from all sides as our Green and White held its own. Our tying the freshmen meant they wore their rat caps until Christmas. Christmas came and went with the coal short- age. Then came all that snow and production too. The latter brings to mind our scenic seaside in the rec, along with life-guard Galloway, Can I have a loUipop, mister? Jane Taylor, comedians Holton and Jackson, and barrel-clad Mary Lawless. Jean Cake and Helen Jackson really did a grand piece of directing. Some of our gals were successful in more ways than one. Betty Curlee got married; Ginny Halli ' field got a fraternity pin; Eleanor Farmer was one of the many who acquired a diamond, third finger, left hand. Lucky girls! In May Court we were represented by Ruth ' ellen Mears, Marjorie Miller, Dolly Anne Free- man, Millie Spain, and Margaret Wall. May Day brings to a close our calendar of memories, but we ' re looking forward to September, 1947, when we reunite as Juniors over in The Building! Freshman Class w .J iun dchoot Claud ended ad we learned lite mean- ina of matriculation. E, the freshmen, shall never for- get the day of our arrival at S. T. C. It was a beautiful day on the outside, but the gloom and uncertainty within our hearts drowned out the glorious sunshine. As we trudged up the walk to the Rotunda with suitcases and other items, we felt green. We were met in the Rotunda by Y girls who assisted us in various ways. You matriculate in room 22, one Y girl informed us. Matriculate! Matriculate! What did that mean? We felt as if our education had already begun. Within a few seconds we found out that it meant filling out blanks and standing in line for hours. Unpacking in the afternoon was a great job, especially since one had to swim around the room. Yes, tears, tears, and more tears flooded the dorms and the campus. Was there a dry- eyed freshman for at least a week? Well, hardly. Homesickness seemed to be very prevalent. In the midst of tears, packing, and meeting people, time was taken out to go down town and explore. The first things we bought were S. T. C. stickers. Immediately upon return to our rooms we wrote letters and proudly put stickers all over them. After that we felt very possessive: S. T. C. was our Alma Mater already. We caught a good deal of the spirit of Farm- ville when we attended the coke and nab party given that night by the Y. What a life! Most of us had decided by this time that college would be gobs of fun. A few days later our big sisters took us to a formal reception given in our honor. We went down the receiving line to meet the faculty. By this time we had begun to feel more and more at ease in our new surroundings. Schedules were made out in the meantime. What a time we had with schedules! They were one headache right after another, but finally we marched bravely to our first class at S. T. C. How different it was from high school! The students seemed more dignified and very quiet. What, no paper wads to greet you as you come in the door! Yes, our high school days were truly at an end. We now had to settle down and seriously do our best to make our future lives as good as possible. Finally, the great day came when rat caps were put on our heads. We were all thrilled! However, we were also looking forward to the day that we would win the hockey game with the sophomores in order that we could take our caps off by Thanks- giving. But alas, we lost and had to wear them until Christmas. Rat Day was another memorable event that we all look back upon with laughter. On your knees, rats! is a line that will always linger in our minds. The comical dress, the appointments, and the rat courts are unforgettable events in our days at dear S. T. C. The first girl-break dances, lyceums, the college circus, club installations, dramatic club plays, class productions and finally May Day have made us feel that we are now a part of Farmville. Most of the greenness has worn off. We have caught the spirit of the school and are now looking for- ward to our next three years, in which we too can add our talents to the honor and glory of the college.

LAD in white, as freshmen we were installed into the V with its impressive candle light service and the singing of Follow the Gleam. Once each quarter we gathered in chapel, listened to the strains of A Perfect Day, and waited eagerly to see who would be tapped into Alpha Kappa Gamma. Gee Gee aided the chapel committee by leading us in group singing on Mondays. A special treat was Gee Gee ' s presentation of Way Back in the Hills and other home ' town tunes as only she can sing them. Open the Door, Richard and Heartaches were played on muffled vies. We ran into closets dodg ' ing Kitty and the other members of the House Council crew. We didn ' t hear much about Chi, but we kept our ears and eyes snooping and made up our own words for Chloe. Choir and Choral Club made several trips and gave several recitals. The most memorable was the Christmas recital, at which they gave their annual performance of The Messiah. And so on the more serious side we have come to associate these musical musical notes with our lives at Farmville. They are integral phases of -our every day — work ' day and play-day. Student Government Organization Tor lite fitsl lime oraanizalion AponSorea bia dance, -. bailed as bin Miccc. ' i I HE purposes of the Student Gov ernment Organi2;ation are to unite the students in better living, to train them in responsibility, self ' reliance, and loyalty, and above all to preserve stU ' dent honor. Shortly after the beginning of school in Sep ' tember each freshman signed the Honor Code in an impressive candlelight ceremony in the presence of the council members. Each girl pledged herself to govern her college life according to honorable standards and to accept her responsibility for help- ing others to do so. This year several changes were made in the StU ' dent Government rules — the favorite change being that of having the privilege of going to Sunday movies. Other such changes were made in the hope that our college life would be more enjoyable. Heading our student organiz;ation were Mar- garet Lohr, president; vice-president, Betty Mine- tree; secretary, Jeanne Bentley; treasurer, Alice Ann Abernathy; and Campus League chairman, Jacqueline Bobbitt. Also in the council were eight class representatives, two ex-officio members, and Kitty Parham, president of House Council. Dr. Moss was re-elected at a student body meeting to be faculty adviser for the council. His wise advice and sincere interest were indeed helpful to us. The Student Council had a Christmas buffet supper in the Student Lounge. The food was really wonderful, even if we did have to prepare it, and the candlelight and fireplace gave us the true Christmas spirit. The Student Government Organi2;ation, for the first time, sponsored a dance on January 18. This dance was given because there were so few open dances. It was a big success, for all who went enjoyed it immensely. Besides initiating activities, we, the Council, conformed to the traditional ones also. We ush- ered for lyceum, in our usual white blouses and black skirts, and made nine hundred favors for the Christmas banquet. For several years the student council has given the president of the college a birthday banquet. Dr. Lancaster, our new presi- dent, had his birthday on October 1 1 , and we celebrated it in the college tea room. We sincerely hope and believe that the Student Government Organization has had a successful year. We tried to issue punishment fairly and to conform to the ethics set by councils of previous years. We earnestly hope that the Student Gov- ernment Organization has secured its purposes. House Council C acn uear tesninen declared to be lite noldiedl ever I U3ut lust ufait till next uear. FAMILIAR scene at 11:00 every night was bed-check. Possibly you ' ve seen your hall- president rushing from room to room looking for her girls. If she was unable to find them, there was always the well prepared excuse: Dot ' s mak- ing a phone call. Please, someone tell us how six girls could all be using the phone on Annex at the same time — bed-check time, eleven o ' clock. After quiet had come to the girls, especially those who had test lights hanging on their doors, there sounded a shrill scream, Telephone call for Mary Jones. Loud stamping echoed down the steps, and then came an anxious reply, Fm coming. This was what occurred at bed-check. But when Kitty and Mrs. McCoy kept the halls well patrolled, you can be sure the frosh and sophs calmed down and de- cided to call it a day. Those fortunate juniors and seniors managed to keep their Hghts aglow a while longer, but then that all comes in time. This year the system for punishing girls by con- finement to the hbrary because call ' downs was re- placed by the old system of campusing a girl for four call-downs. The campus system of one week for the first four call-downs and an additional week for the fifth was used. With six call-downs a girl was invited to appear before Student Government. In the main building study hour was from 7:30 until 10:00, which meant Sh-h-h-, quiet please. From 9:00 until 10:30 the girls could visit and play, but this didn ' t mean tearing the building apart as some of you attempted to do! After drink- ing the nightly coke, someone rolled coke bottles down the hall. Naughty, naughty — she shouldn ' t have! At 9:30 you were required to be quiet, brushing your teeth, curling your hair and wash- ing behind your ears. After this, you were ready to crawl into a comfortable bed and get your eight hours of sleep. Fun and good times are mixed among the activities of the year. An appointed committee planned and prepared a delightful Christmas party for us in Student Lounge. We wish you all could have been there. We had loads of sandwiches, cokes, potato chips, cookies, candy, etc. And not only that, but we had our fortunes told. Kitty also sent us all lovely Christmas cards. Seated around the fireplace, we sang and had a delightful time. Some members of the council sold doughnuts one week during the year. This added greatly to our funds. All of these things helped make our council more enjoyable and sociable. We had busy signs painted for each girl ' s room in school. The art classes were kind enough to make attractive posters for us to use as quiet signs. These signs were put in conspicuous places on the halls to remind the girls to be quiet during study hour and during a program in the audi- torium. With the help of the faithful housemothers — Mrs. McCoy, Mrs. Bea2,ley, Mrs. Laing, Miss Hamner, Mrs. Eastham, and Mrs. Fit2,patrick — the House Council had a successful year. Kitty Par- ham was president; Nancy Parrish, vice-president; Martha Gillum, secretary; and Ellen McMullan, treasurer. Colonnade - I S econa edition Aaw (O-edi nameA in table of contents, tieu were fait It fill contrirtutors. T was fun — every hectic minute of it — but don ' t ever think it wasn ' t work! Round- ing up our budding authors, collecting their offer- ings, deciding what should be used, rewriting, cut- ting, typing, proof-reading, illustrating, meeting dead-lines, sometimes not meeting them — it was a day-to-day and month-to-month job. And we loved it! Talent seemed to be lurking around every corner this year. Elinor Lawless was discovered as soon as college opened in the fall, and quietly set about becoming an editor ' s dream come true. Not only did she contribute the pri2,e-winning short story of our annual contest — A Glass of Red Wine - — but continued throughout the year to dress up the unimaginative pages with her excellent art work. Her series of faculty caricatures became the feature of the year. Of course, Campus Capers, compiled by Grace Loyd, was always first on the reading Hst. Her search for the best and newest bits of humor was unceasing, but well worth the effort. The grins in the dining room on the big night were re- ward enough in themselves. But the trouble we had with those jokes! And the CoIon?iade just couldn ' t have managed without Anne rough and ready Willis. A very blank couple of pages? We just seemed to gravitate toward Anne, and we always came away in a much calmer state of mind, assured that something entertaining and ahve would be in our hands in time to meet the dead-Hne. The second issue of the year was notable for its contributors. The G. L ' s took over with a flourish, and all those masculine names in the table of con- tents gave it a decided air of distinction. S. T. C. became co-ed ' conscious, and the Colonnade was not to be left behind. Jack Lane, A. R. Southall, Nelson Snydor, Jack Van Hoy, and Elinor Lawless represented the Veterans, and we don ' t know how we ever got along without them. We ' ll never forget the frantic last ' minute trips to consult with Miss Jennings and Mr. Grainger on matters of sentence structure, content, and make ' up. Their patience and understanding and con ' structive advice were monumental. Then, there were those harried hours at the Herald office, when we had either too much ma ' terial or too little. That feeling that you are cut ' ting the author ' s pet paragraph was not a pleasant one. And Harry! The soothing, reassuring, unruf ' fled, calm, efficient, helpfulness of Harry brought more than one Colonnade out of an apparently hopeless last ' minute tangle into finished form. After the rush was over, there was always a wonderful feeling of seeing the completed product distributed around the tables in the dining room, and of knowing that the best the college and staff could offer had gone into the making. The Rotunda few cotumn, f uddin n auce , makei nit wlin i oiunda readers. URRY, hurry, hurry to meet that dead ' line! Hush ' hush on that scoop! Rush that last ' minute copy down. Then you get a three ' hour breathing spell on Wednesday before starting all over again. As we look back over our year ' s work, we laugh about the times we tore our hair out be ' cause the cuts didn ' t come back, the times when big news broke late on Tuesday night, and the few times we contemplated murder to get enough news to fill the paper. Shirley Slaughter, serving as editor ' in ' chief, kept in contact with the business and editorial depart ' ments. Mary Helmer assisted as managing editor. Mary Agnes Millner took care of the business affairs of the paper, and Betty Ree Pairet combed the campus for news. Margaret Wilson was never at a loss for feature ideas, and Jane Burchett kept us up with the seasonal sports news. Lela Bouldin, social editor, let us in on the newest fashions and planned a Christmas party and spring banquet for the staff members. Anne Pullen weekly visited business places in Farmville for advertisements. Jean Babb took the snaps for the paper, and Mary Davis held the important job of seeing that all copy was typed. Martha Frances Morrison, chief ed ' itorial assistant, saw to it that each galley was care ' fully checked for mistakes and also wrote in her column, Omnibus, a preview of club meetings. On Wednesday afternoon we turned the finished product over to the circulation manager, Frances Treakle. This year Betty Spindler started a new column, Puddin ' n ' Sauce, which made quite a hit with our readers. Carmen Low portrayed some phase of college activities each week with her black and white linoleum blocks. The open ' eye, big ' ear columnist never missed a trick in Heard After Bed ' check. On the sports page Mary Harrison encouraged our participation in athletics, and Betty Bibb gave us the horse news. The Rotunda could not have met its scheduled publication dates without the willing and helpful assistance from Mr. S. M. Holton, our adviser. The members of the Herald office cooperated with us in every way and worked constantly to help us improve our newspaper. In October Shirley, Mary, and Mary Agnes journeyed to Chicago to attend the Associated Collegiate Press Convention and brought back wonderful new ideas besides news of the loads of compliments the paper had received there. It might also be mentioned that they had a grand time! This year we hope that the student body was pleased with o ur work. If so, we achieved our purpose of recording faithfully the weekly events at S. T. C. Virginian Ljoou V ooh oeaan to tahe 6nape after aoode eqq vai eliminatpa. HE ' 47 Virginian was off to a flying start in the fall when Sue and Sue took off to the Associated Collegiate Press Con ' vention in Chicago. They have never gotten over the thrill of soaring through the air two thousand feet over Akron while eating a dc ' licious hot meal. The return trip wasn ' t quite as luxurious. Being grounded in Washington, sit ' ting on the train coupling from Washington to Petersburg, sleeping in the bus station in Rich ' mond, and finally arriving in Farmville at 7:00 A. M. to attend classes were just a few minor dt- tails which went along with planning the good book. In addition to committee meetings and visits to the engraving plant and the Tribune Building they were deeply impressed with non ' convention hours — Gene Krupa and the College Inn, PIKA party at Northwestern, a dance at the Officers ' Club of Chicago, and lastly, a gathering at Mr. Brightman ' s. The trip was definitely a sue cess even if we weren ' t fortunate enough to meet someone to send us roses as Shirley did. (A plug for the Kotundal Girls from the Kotimda staff went with us.) By this time the staff had approved the musical theme and the dummy, which was started in the summer. However, many changes were made throughout the year when several organizations disbanded. If the task had not been too great, at one time we might have organized the A. F. ' s into a club just to fill up space. In December the photographer came, and many staff members schemed to be able to accompany him on his rounds — one effective method being collecting used flash bulbs. On account of rain, good old Farm ' ville weather, we thought at one time we might have to take the Pegasus and riding picture in ' doors. After Christmas we made many nightly jour ' neys to the lab for the inevitable pasting and mounting job. Instead of trimming pictures be ' fore we mounted them, this year we mounted and then cut. ' ' Mr. Mac and Nellie laughed away many hours picking chickens to the tune of Ain ' t Nobody Here But Us Chickens. Barbara began assigning articles, and she and Miss Foster undertook the difficult job of correcting and add ' ing words. In February we welcomed a visit from Mr. Brightman, who helped us over many rough spots. The art staff was put to work soon after Sue, Dorris, Miss Bedford, and Mr. Mac decided to eliminate the goose egg in the major design. When the last bit of copy was off to the printer, we anxiously awaited the proof and hoped that there would be no blank pages. After we had told everyone that the books would be loose leaf this year, we were determined that we wouldn ' t have to mail them in June. We are sure that Barbara Lee ' s (non ' Staff ) concern helped them arrive when they did. Student Standards vUortnwliile projects inclucted acauirina ' (ffUipment for r ec. iTH many old and many new problems facing us, Student Standards started work for the year. Acting as the coordination depart ' ment between the faculty, the administration, and the student body, we arranged the schedule of events for the school calendar, saw that no one carries more extra-curricular points than her schol ' astic average warrants, and investigated possibil ' ities of improvements through student or faculty suggestions. With Nancy Whitehead presiding at the head of the table, we accompHshed many of our multiple duties. Heidi Lacy was kept on her toes from last May to this one scheduling meetings so that no one would be faced with the problem of being at two places at one time. Ann PuUen kept the point sys ' tem running smoothly so that no one person car- ried more extra-curricular activities than she was able to. We concentrated efforts on the improvement of the dining room. The project included sound- prooiing and new equipment as well as improve- ments of the food. Another of our projects was new equipment for the Rec. After digging around, we secured ping-pong and shuffle-board equipment. The steps and walks were worked on by our sug- gestion, and the stones around school were fixed. A plan was worked on for a fund to be used in improvement of the college as a whole. This fund is to help in bringing to the college programs of worth and is to be used as Dr. Lancaster sees fit. We worked with Mr. Graham and Dr. Lan- caster to have the Rotunda painted and the steps fixed, and the curtains in the auditorium cleaned and patched. We also worked on a plan of im- proving the condition of the Rec. Our committee established a program for selHng books left here at the end of the year. The funds are to be used by the YWCA. We have tried to investigate every problem brought before the committee and to make the im- provements as best we could. The purpose of our organi2;ation is to hold high the standards of S. T. C. and its student body. The Student Standards committee is S. T. C. ' s mediation board and requires the cooperation of the school as a whole. Red Cross 7Kat ImaA packaaes dent overseas to Aotaiers. iVlanu drives oriainatea on ratnpii.U HE Red Cross committee on our campus got to work immediately this year. Chris- tine Shiflet served as chairman; Jean Edgerton as vice-chairman ; and Sarah Greene as secretary-treas- urer. We had a drive at the beginning of the year to collect clothes to send to the college students of Europe. Girls canvassed the halls to collect these clothes, and we got a number of contributions. We also wrapped fifty Christmas packages to send overseas to our soldiers. Each one of these presents contained six articles, and we really did have fun wrapping and tying these packages. Jean Edgerton represented our college unit at the conference of Red Cross College Units at Eastern Area Headquarters in Alexandria, Vir- ginia, in December. She brought back many help- ful ideas about What the Red Cross Can Do on a College Campus. Our college unit was very proud when we were chosen to make a correspondence album to send to a teacher-training school in Bono, Czechoslovakia. We were the first college in the country to make one of these albums. We all enjoyed working on it very much because it was interesting work. Our thanks go to all of those who helped us with this album. Association of Childhood Education If eptu j-rom arateful oDutcli famitu received achnowtedaina ttoxes Th taina —Atces sent. HE Aces, as the elementary majors and minors who are members of the Association of Childhood Education are called, have been capably led this year under the di- rection of Lillian Fink, our president. We at- tended interesting meetings which had been wisely arranged by Constance Young, vice- president of the club. Especially notable among our monthly meetings was the one held in January. It was at this time that we became more acquainted with our A. C. E. publications. One of the pro- jects we attempted last year was the helping of a Dutch family by sending boxes to three children. At our first meeting this year letters were read to the group from the family, acknowledging the three boxes we prepared and sent. It gave us all a warm feeling to reali2;e that we had helped in a small way, to restore a family torn by the struggle of war years. Taking as our purposes the betterment of Child- hood education and the advancement of our pro- fession by molding better teachers, A. C E. invited to membership during the Fall quarter, twenty-six eligible girls. The Christmas party in Miss Hayne ' s apartment will hold a special place in our memories. Stories, told as we sat before an open fire, and the singing of Christmas carols gave us the true spirit for the approaching holiday season. At this time Miss Mix told us a lovely story. Delicious candies, nuts, dates, and all the other traditional Christmas goodies were served by our hostess. Assisting Lillian Fink and Constance Young were Elizabeth Lewis, secretary; Jeanne Button, treasurer; and Louise Smith, chairman of the Ways and Means Committee. We are grateful to Miss Mary B. Haynes, our adviser, for her guidance, interest, and understand- ing in helping us to accomplish our goals. Future Teachers of America yraanization Aponiored annual election for bedt prospective teacnerd front various classes. HE members of the J. L. Jarman Chapter of the Future Teachers of America came back to school this year ready to work on the job of reorgani2;ing the chapter. In the fall we had charge of the chapel programs during American Education Week. On the F. T. A. program held during the Wednesday chapel period of that week. Dr. Ruth Coyner Little and Dr. Lancaster were the guest speakers. They spoke on the need of teachers in the state and the nation. Dr. Little is one of the associate editors of the Journal of the National Education Association. She was the guest of the chapter for several days. She spoke to several classes and at an ex- ecutive dinner meeting of the chapter. We had a gala time talking over plans for the year ' s work and for future work. During the winter quarter we sponsored our an- nual election for the best prospective teachers from the freshman and sophomore classes and from the various curriculum groups of the junior class. The Rotary Club of Farmville as usual sponsored the election with the chapter and paid the dues of the girls elected. The chapter worked on plans for a student teacher publication. These plans would be left for use by the chapter next year. Spring quarter found us making plans and prep- aration for a spring reception to be held in the Student Lounge for the seniors, members of the faculty, and superintendents from various counties throughout the state. The F. T. A. seeks to extend interest in profes- sional leadership, to extend the understanding of the activities and services of the National Educa- tion Association and the Virginia Education As- sociation, to study the traditions and practices of the teaching profession, and to develop in the mem- bers those powers and qualities recogniz,ed as de- sirable assets of the professional teacher. The chapter had as its officers this year the fol- lowing: Anna Headlee, president; Louise Brooks, vice-president; Ann ShufHebarger, secretary; Lucile Upshur, treasurer. Dr. Wynne was our guide and counselor along the way. Chapel Committee I ¥ lost raaicat cnanae came u itn L fiapet attendance t eina made voluntaru. ERHAPS the most radical but wel- come innovation put into effect by President Lan- caster was to make chapel attendance voluntary, and for only three days a week, instead of daily as formerly practiced. The plan was in the nature of an experiment. Dr. Lancaster well knew that the success of the experiment would be largely determined by the nature of the programs presented. We therefore selected a strong committee, consisting of faculty, administration, and students, and headed by Dr. Jeffers. Mondays were Song Day, but must not be confused with the old Monday ' s sings required for freshmen. College yells, college songs, old favor- ites, and popular tunes made up the bill of fare. Gee Gee Yonce did most of the leading, and Vir- ginia Tindall most of the accompanying. A new screen was purchased for the auditorium, and words were projected on the screen. Thanks to Miss Bralley, who manipulated the machine! The Wednesday programs were likewise gen- erally informal and were put on by the students. Various student organi2;ations performed. Some- times it was a solemn tapping service; sometimes, a hohday skit or a recognition program such as those put on by Alpha Kappa Gamma and Kappa Delta Pi. Friday chapels were turned over to speakers of a more serious nature. In this series, the State Board of Education was presented to the student body. Burgess Johnson was one of our best speak- ers. The Student Chapel Committee was composed of Barbara Kellam, chairman; Anne T. PuUen, Gee Gee Yonce, Janie Fox, Joyce Townsend, and Jane Taylor. Sutton Bland and Helen Arington were in charge of posters put up to show what would be presented in chapel each day. The Madrigal Group Spirit nerj rmance wai broaacast j-rom. Atuai in Cicnmona. lod UT of the windows of the dimly lit Choir Room came the Hght-hearted lyrics of the pre-Eli2,abethan period. There we twelve Madri- gals, around a table, poured out our hearts in song. Under the direction of June Cregar we spent one of our happiest years. Our first performance was carried all over the state when we sang Though Philomela Lost Her Love from the WRVA Studios in Richmond. Surely others caught the Christmas Spirit when we furnished the music for the Orchesis Christmas Sing. The high- light, however, came on December 15, when we blended our voices with those of The Randolph Singers of New York. We ' ve remembered the ad- vice of Mr. Randolph, Be authentic in your music at all cost. In the spring when the choir sang the oratorio, The Holy City, we Madrigals sang the trio, At Eventide It Shall Be Light, and the quartet, List, The Cherubic Host. This year the Madrigals were composed of Jane Fox, Hilda Abernathy, Jeanne Button, Nomeka Bryant, Louise Harrell, Joanne Sterling, Mary Frances Hundley, Bobby Mitchell, Virginia Tin- dall, Patsy Dale, and Jean Watts. Though we were inexperienced in the beginning, by combining work with play, we attained our goal. Choir x ur nearid tit liAtenea to ydinaA on raui EGULAR meeting for tonight: choir — eight o ' clock. These words had a familiar ring for the more than seventy members of our col- lege choir. Choir practice each Monday and Thurs- day night became not mere routine, but an hour of singing to be looked forward to and enjoyed. Under the direction of Mr. Ned Crawley and our officers — Virginia Tindall, Patsy Dale, Hilda Abernathy, and Alfreda Peterson — we anticipated a big year. Early in the fall we started practicing for the big event — our broadcast. Mr. Crawley arranged for the Choir and the Hampden-Sydney Glee Club a most enjoyable day in Richmond, in- cluding making recordings, a banquet, and hearing the Messiah. When we heard our broadcast later on Virginia Sings, our hearts thrilled. With Christmas approaching, we practiced very hard and gave several concerts in Farmville and Hampden ' Sydney. Perhaps the most memorable of our yuletide programs was the joint concert given by our choir and the Hampden-Sydney glee club in the Methodist church at Prospect. During the winter we practiced long hours, inspired by the thoughts of The Holy City concert, the year ' s highlight. Moving chairs from Dr. Walmsley ' s classroom, Tindall ' s: I have an important announcement to make, Night Song , Mr. Crawley ' s: Now I want you to sing it this way! , the records of our broadcast, our Sunday afternoon vesper service in the chapel at the University of Virginia, and The Holy City — all mingle together in our memory of a very happy year. Our deepest appreciation goes to Mr. Crawley, who worked patiently and untiringly. He expected great things of us and made us live up to those expectations. Choral Club Lyutd andii ' 9 rK of uear waA Sprina coitcer ken we ioinecl other when we loine routJA oj ' dinaerA aroupA oj ' Ainat ACH Monday and Thursday night found the Choral Club anxiously gathered in the classroom of Mr. Strick, music professor and head of the State Teachers College Music department. Because of illness Mr. Strick could not be with the Club until late in the fall quarter. During his ab- sence Mrs. Ben Moomaw patiently and kindly guided the group in its activities. On Sunday morning, December 15, 1946, the Choral Club with the College Choir, the Hampden- Sydney Glee Club, and the professional Madrigals from New York presented a Christmas concert program consisting chiefly of Christmas music. The most outstanding work of the year was the preparation and presentation of The Holy City given in a spring concert with the College Choir, Hampden - Sydney Glee Club, and professional singers. It was not all work and no play for the Choral Club girls. In the fall, Mrs. Moomaw invited us to her new home for a social gathering. It was a wonderful time of fellowship, food, and fun for all. The Choral Club had as its officers for the year: president, Julia Agnes Foster; vice-president and secretary, Mary Agnes Millner; librarian, Betty Jordan; Kotunda reporter, Mary Puckett Asher. Co-eds ( ouA upAel record ol- ifearA uA S late eacn L olteQ.e fOr erA I, ae fof women ccame co- t-ed. ANY changes have taken place at S. T. C, but the matriculation of the veterans marked a new record in S. T. C. history. For the first time this was a coeducational institution. Extremely odd in September were the sight of boys ambhng through the halls on their way to class and the sound of mascuhne voices answering roll call. These boys added a bit of spice to the courses we took with them, particularly folk dance. It V as such a novelty to boast a boy for a partner! They formed a basketball team, The Skins, and in true Farmville style theirs was a successful sea- son. Although terrifically outnumbered, the vet- erans filled an important place in S. T. C. Hfe. Blazer Awards -y . -Ar. ( ouncll B S. yded Aix otazer A to tAtandii eniorA outAtandin ikL eCicA. OR a number of years now the Athletic Association has awarded blazers to those seniors having the highest number of points — points calculated according to par- ticipation in sports while at school. The white blazers are awarded on basis of varied par- ticipation in sports, and the blue for one or more sports. This year the blazers were presented to the girls at the chapel exercises in the spring when the Color Cup was presented. Four girls received white blazers, and two girls received blue blazers. White ones were awarded to Margaret Lohr, Nellie Smith, Margaret EUett, and Sue Hundley; blue ones were awarded to Kitty Sue Bridgforth and Nancy Parrish.

Who ' s going to be tapped in chapel Wednesday? This question was often asked, and we in Alpha Kappa Gamma found it difficult not to reveal the secret; however, we were as excit- ed as other members of the Student Body when the gavel was raised above the heads of those girls who possessed outstanding qualities in leadership. Those recogni2,ed in the fall were Kitty Parham, Shirley Slaughter, Betty Bibb, Patsy Dale, Jean Bentley, and Virginia Tindall. Dr. Lancaster ' s impressive talk made the ideals of A. K. G. mean even more. Already we had begun to work on the circus, which was to occur the first week-end in Nov- ember. No one could have done a better job as general chairman than Anna Headlee. The com- mittee chairmen worked together on the various aspects of the circus, and the classes practiced three times a week on their stunts. The big day rolled around! The parade in the afternoon was a pre- view of what was to be seen under the Big Top that night, and everyone was in the mood for the gala affair. A Gay Nineties theme was carried out in the court. Heidi Lacy, queen; Julia Booher, junior; Dolly Ann Freeman, sophomore, and An- nette Jones, freshman, represented songs of the period. The Good Ship, Lollipop, with its lem- onade stand, candy canes, bon-bons, etc., brought keen enjoyment and gave first place for the juniors. Representing fruits of North and South America, the seniors danced and sang their way into second place. Clowns, animals, balloons, popcorn, and hot dogs added to the festivity of the circus. When we returned from the Christmas holidays, we were pleased to see the storage place for our circus equip- ment which Mr. Graham had made for us in the locker room. The annual convention was held at the Uni- versity of South Carolina in October, and four of us with Miss Burger drove down. We enjoyed meeting and working with the girls from the other A. K. G. Circles. The trip and the convention were both worthwhile, and we all agreed that we wouldn ' t have missed either. Winter quarter brought with it another A. K. G. tapping. Again members of the Student Body were held in suspense before each girl was tapped. Kitty Sue Bridgforth, Margaret Wilson, Nancy Whitehead, Tucker Winn, Nancy Chambers, and Peepsie Brooks were recogni2;ed as leaders in the college. Throughout the year we turned to Miss Cleaves and Miss Eason for advice. Our officers were Margaret Ellett, president; Martha East, vice-presi- dent; Anna Headlee, secretary; Margaret Lohr, treasurer. In working together to carry out the various projects which we undertook during the year, we kept in our minds a vivid picture of Joan of Arc, our patron saint, the crystalli2;ed essence of leadership, service, and character in our college. Pi Gamma Mu radiii J WarJt % fVl heautuut raA celebration wai Pi Gamma Mu, a national honor society in the field of social science, has been on our campus since 1927. Girls who have shown outstanding interest in the field of social science, have shown the ability to do an original piece of work, and have a high standard of general scholar- ship are ehgible for membership. In our Virginia Gamma chapter this year Louise Rives served as president; Mary Stuart Buford, vice-president; Margaret Wilson, secretary; Eh2;a- beth Bennett, treasurer; and Dr. James Elliot Walmsley, sponsor. Miss Lucy Bralley was elected as a faculty member of the society. After the fall quarter, in the absence of Louise Rives, Mary Stuart Buford became president. Pi Gamma Mu sponsored the debate club in the fall. On November the seventh. Miss Ruth Brail, contralto, appeared at S. T. C. and was sponsored by our organi2;ation. Mardi Gras, under the leadership of Anne Pullen, general chairman, was a traditionally beau ' tiful occasion with Gwen Ackiss as queen. Gowned in dresses representing the theme, the United Na ' tions, the ladies of the court — Doris Ballance, Louise Brooks, Gertrude Driver, Dolly Ann Free ' man, Kitty Parham, Nellie Smith, Margaret Wall, and Nancy Whitehead — were perfect Mardi Gras belles. Colorful and gay costumes helped to con ' tribute to the fun of Mardi Gras. In Pi Gamma Mu we attempted to promote in ' terest in various timely subjects so that we might be better prepared to meet post ' war problems of today. Among our topics for discussion were prob ' lems of today ' s Palestine, the political situation in India, and the Dardanelle situation. As always, Dr. Walmsley proved to be an un ' derstanding friend and inspiration to us all. Two things for which we strove, high ideals and scholar ' ship, have been constantly expanded under his leadership. Throughout the year we found we could look to Dr. Walmsley for advice and help at all times. With the cooperation of each member and the guiding interest of Dr. Walmsley, Pi Gamma Mu had a successful year. Sigma Pi Rho Kyraanization had ducceAAful uear ituduina liveA of areat rComan wriferA. At the first meeting of the year we, the members of Virginia Alpha Chapter, Sigma Pi Rho, initiated Dr. Graves H. Thompson and Catherine Varner, a senior from Farmville, into our fraternity. Dr. Thompson kindly consented to be ' come our adviser, since Miss Minnie V. Rice, our beloved friend and former adviser, was no longer at Farmville with us. Among the highhghts of the year was our meet ' ing in the home of our new adviser. This was our annual Christmas party. Dr. Thompson enter ' tained us with a musical program on the classics. We ended our party with an informal chat over refreshments. We were particularly thrilled when at our February meeting Dr. Dabney S. Lancaster was initiated as an honorary member. Our next outstanding meeting consisted of a de ' bate with Eta Sigma Phi on the immortal question of Aeneas and Dido. Later this spring we were pleased to have as our guests on this campus the members of the Classical Association of Virginia. To carry out our aim, the fostering of the class ' ics, we studied the Hves of great Roman writers and their contribution to literature. We had a most successful year. Gamma Psi ZJalent of dludenlA waA recoanized at annual (hibli in fl ' laij. t Gamma Psi honors all students on our campus who have outstanding artistic ability. Yes, we made all those posters advertising big campus events that have decked the halls from StU ' dent Building to Library, but that isn ' t all. Remembering that we furnish a forum for the discussion of all matters pertaining to art, we have had many interesting meetings; however, our dis ' cussions weren ' t always about Michaelangelo or Dali. Then too, at the beginning of each quarter were initiated new girls, who had shown us their interest as well as their splendid achievements in the field of art, and their names added to the roll. Needles to say, this brought many new ideas to our meetings. May came roUing around with the annual art exhibit. It was then we proudly recognized the talents of all students interested in art. We had fun admiring everyone ' s master pieces. Incidental- ly, we bet you didn ' t know your roommate could paint like that. To Miss Bedford, our friend and adviser, we pay tribute. Without her unerring guidance we should never have met success. Our active officers this year were Carmen Low, president; Nancy Whitehead, vice-president; Sue Davis, secretary ' treasurer; and Sutton Bland, post ' er chairman. We thank them for their leadership. Alpha Phi Sigma raaitization ii onlu O. scltotaiUc j-r open to ftein L men an J Sophomorei. Let us press forward to higher attainments, and in our endeavor, let us never forget to be kind. With this motto in our minds and hearts, we Alpha Phi Sigmas came smiling through another year of hard but interesting work. Our or ' gani2;ation has the distinction of being the only national honorary scholastic fraternity on our campus for which freshmen and sophomores are eligible. By an impressive candlelight service, we initiated fiftyfour from the freshman class and twentysix from the sophomore class at our first meeting in October. Alpha Phi Sigma bid new girls who had gradu ' ated from their high schools as valedictorians and salutatorians, also the freshmen and sophomores who had maintained an average of B for two con ' secutive quarters here in this college. Those entering the fraternity from high schools are all in the novice group. The girls who are ac cepted on the basis of their college records are recognized as apprentices. Upon attaining an aver ' age of B for two consecutive terms, a member is recognized as having achieved the apprentice de ' gree, and on making a B ' plus average for two terms, she is entitled to wear the pin studded with emeralds — an emblem of growth. This is the high ' est rank in the society, a master ' s degree. Our business meetings were held the second Tuesday of each month. On the third Tuesday our regular meetings were held. Among our interest ' ing programs for the year was one in November when Miss Draper told up about her trip and study in Venezuela last summer. In December we had our Christmas party, and Annette Vincent ' Viry spoke to us about Christmas in France. As our project for the year, we assisted Annette Vincent ' Viry, a girl from Lyon, France, who at ' tended S. T. C. and helped with the French classes. We decided to make this type of assistance our yearly project whenever foreign girls are in need of financial help. Our leaders for the year were Jacquelyn Bobbitt, president; Sara Rawles, vice-president; Anne East, recording secretary; Ann Owen, corresponding sec retary; Betty Pairet, treasurer; and Constance Newman, reporter. Miss Mary E. Peck was our faculty adviser. Beorc Eh Thorn I roarum oj- trie uear onAiiteu of a studu of nCuisian literature. Beorc Eh Thorn, the English honor society on the campus, obtains its name from the three Old English rune letters, Beorc Eh Thorn, which, to the members, symbolize literature, its in ' spiration, and its discipline. The society has for its aims the enjoyment, the appreciation of Hterature, the cultivation of creative writing, and the use of good Enghsh. In order to fulfill these aims, the sO ' ciety makes a study of the Hterature of one country each year. Because of the prominent place Russia occupies in world affairs today, the members voted to make a study of Russian hterature from its be ' ginning in the Dark Ages to the present. Virginia Tindall, who served as program chairman, present ' ed the complete plans for the program on the study of Russia. Miss Grace Moran, acting head of the Geo ' graphy Department, gave a most interesting dis ' cussion of modern Russia at the first meeting. She spoke also on Russia in chapel, at which time new girls were recognized as members of the society. Other programs included book reviews and talks by students on Russian literature and on various great writers of that country. At the 1947 spring meeting our program for the year was brought to a close when the members read the poems, short stories, or essays which they had written in order to maintain their status as active members of the society. After this program, the society held its annual spring picnic at the home of its adviser, Mr. Grainger. The majority of our members served on the editorial staff of at least one of the three pubHcations, often contributing pri2;e winning short stories and poems. This year we met one Thursday afternoon each month. The officers for 19464947 were as fol ' lows: Lee Carter, president; Virginia Tindall, vice-president; Lovice Altizer, recording secretary; Lucie Addleman, corresponding secretary; Anne Motley, treasurer; and Beverly Boone, historian. The society is grateful for the cooperation of the members of the English Department in carrying out the program for the year. Kappa Delta Pi r? ' A 8u vl la event wuA fecep- lion in nonor of l-reili- fnen ana iopnomorei. KappaDelta Pi is a national hon ' or society in education. It has a chapter roll of 141 active chapters. Kappa Delta Pi was founded at the University of Illinois. There are chapters in univer- sities and schools of education all over the United States. It recogniZiCs scholarship and outstanding service in the field of education and seeks to pro ' mote good fellowship among the members, who are chosen from the upper quartile of the junior and senior classes. We in Beta Epsilon Chapter began our year with a special service of recognition in chapel for our new members. Dr. Lancaster, who is an hon- orary member of this chapter, gave an address at this time. He told of the work of the State Teach ' ers Recruitment Committee, of which he was chairman. The highlight of the year came in December, when we had our annual Christmas banquet in the College Tea Room. It was a gala occasion, for five of our honorary members were able to be with us. Faculty members and guests joined with us to wel ' come our outstanding woman of the year. Miss Grace E. Mix, who was initiated at a special service held before the banquet. Mrs. Alice C. Wynne was installed as a faculty member of Kappa Delta Pi. When we filed into the banquet hall, we were amazed at the beautiful decorations. The place cards boasted the official seal of Kappa Delta Pi in gold. They will go in our scrap books to remind us of our days as members of Beta Epsilon Chapter. After the banquet Miss Mix gave a charming talk on the Spirit of Christmas. Our programs during the winter quarter were based on an investigation of teaching positions in the state. Dr. Lancaster spoke to us at one meet- ing, and Mr. Robert F. Williams, the executive secretary of the Virginia Education Association, was our guest speaker at a February meeting. They helped us in making our decisions as to our posi- tions in the schools of the state. With the arrival of spring we began to work on our final big event of the year. The annual spring reception was held in the Student Lounge in honor of the freshmen and sophomores who ranked in the upper quarter of their classes. With the guest, the faculty, and the members conversing gaily, we hated to say good-bye and goodnight. During the year we initiated juniors and seniors who had displayed outstanding interest in the field of education and had excelled in scholarship. We enjoyed a most profitable year under the guidance of our officers, who are as follows : Anna Headlee, president; Barbara Kellam, vice-president; Patsy Dale, secretary; Nancy Parrish, treasurer; and Audrey Lee Davis, historian. Miss Pauline Camper was our guide, our light, and our most loyal adviser throughout the year. 127 Alpha Kappa Gamma I — 1 Front row, left to right; Bibb, Headlee, M. Ellett, M. East, S.

C . Jjramatic i iuo were intbinecl once aaain. HE Man Who Came to Dinner stayed, much to the dehght of the audience which crowded the auditorium at the fall play on Nov- ember 22nd. The Hampden-Sydney Jongleurs and the S. T. C. Dramatic Club, once again, combined their talents to give a very excellent presentation. The hilarious comedy was enhvened by the spicy wit and the unusual predicament of a family with too many guests. The regular meetings of the club were made most enjoyable by the oncact plays presented by the acting group, and the fashion show presented by the costuming and lighting groups. Christmas could never pass without a party and Miss Wheeler ' s stories. Betty Minetree, social chairman, served quantities of delicious food, and all had a dehghtful time. In the spring, S. T. C. and Hampden-Sydney presented Shakespeare ' s well ' known comedy, Taming of the Shrew. The leading lady really took a beating as she was tossed around by her tamer. The horse on which the fair lady rode presented a difficult problem for the properties committee. The costumes were brilliantly and au- thentically produced by the large and hard-work- ing costume group. Hard work was something we were used to. We worked just a little harder to make the annual Southside Dramatic Tournament, which was re- sumed last year, a success. We enjoyed meeting the high school casts and working with them. The Dramatic Club year drew to a close with the bidding of new girls. After serving their ap- prenticeship, they were initiated and later honored at a tea. The executive board, which is the framework of the club, spent many hours together planning and carrying out the business of the club. The busy president this year was Eloise Stancell. Grace Loyd and Betty Bibb served as vice-presidents. Jean Cake was secretary, and Dolly Anne Free- man, treasurer and business manager. Martha Frances Webb was head of the acting group; Gwendolyn Cress was costuming head; Hope Frank was head of the make-up department; Dorothy Ramage was head of hghting; Pat Daniel was staging head; and Christine Shiflet took care of the properties. The various chairmen were the following: Betty Spindler, publicity; Sue Davis, posters; Hilda Bennett, music; Betty Minetree, social; Jean Cake, play contest; and Virginia Holli- field, scrap book. This group functioned under the able direction of Miss Wheeler, who taught us and encouraged us in all we undertook. Latin Club oLJr. Ljrai ei Thompson replaced Wi.. Winnie V. I Ue ■ ■ as adviser. HEN we returned from our sum- mer vacations, we began to look around for our old friends of the Latin Club. Some had left us forever, but others were waiting with a cheery greeting. At our first meeting of the year we initiated the eligible freshmen into the society. Then we took time out to get ac- quainted with our new members. After a period of fun and fellowship we settled down to the serious business of getting started for the year. We took as our general theme for the session the relationship of Latin to our practical life. This we thought would help us to see the real reason why so many, like ourselves, had chosen Latin for their field of endeavor. During our various meetings we endeavored to make this relationship clear through a study of the contributions of Latin to the Ro- mance languages — Italian, Rumanian, French, Spanish, and Portugese — and its relationship to the Teutonic languages and Greek. Since our beloved Iriend and sponsor, Miss Min- nie V. Rice, did not return this year, we invited Dr. Graves H. Tompson, head of the Latin Depart ' ment, to be our adviser. We had a most profitable year under his guidance and that of our officers: Catherine Hogge, president; Virginia HoUifield, vice ' president; and Beverly Boone, secretary ' treas ' Le Cercle Francais rlative ZJ rencn qiri rrench ai enroitea at , . C . J et accent aeuQlited Jf tfi E Cercle Francais has as its aims to promote the speaking and understanding of French and to encourage the study of the culture and customs of France. With the direction of Miss Draper and the invaluable help of Annette Vin- cent ' Viry, we have made much progress this year. We felt quite fortunate to have Annette, who is from Lyon, to help us in our classes and with our club activities. She did much to help us im- prove our pronunciations, so that the contest for the best pronunciation was close. Our first activity of the year was to make cards which we sold at the French and the Spanish Clubs ' booth at the Circus. As is our annual custom, we held our Christmas fete with the Spanish Club, and we took the opportunity to present as many Christmas customs as possible. Each class pre- sented an original stunt in addition to the custom- ary carol-singing and the classic minuet. The programs this year have been widely differ- ent and entertaining because of the efforts of Ellen McMuUen and Annette. We took up customs, learned many new songs, and had programs in which every member could participate. Through the use of our new record player, we were able to listen to music which added much to our programs. This year we had as officers Betty Spindler, president; Ellen McMuUen, vice-president; Janie Hanks, treasurer; Mary Neale Garrett, secretary; and Lela Bouldin, reporter. Mildred Davis was our pianist, and Virginia Parris typed our song sheets and other papers for us. In retrospect we felt that this year was a suc- cessful one for Le Cercle Francais. El Club Espanol Cyaa L kridtniad ledta lomtlu aiven •citn tne reitcn tut ' ai voted nuae AucceAi. ■ ' :: - ' ' ' €«JiM CAPULCO, Mts. Popocatepetl, Guadalajara shining in the noon day sun — of such are made the dreams of a Spanish student. How we would revel in a trip south of the border, where the castanets click in rhumba time, and gay caballeros strum their guitars and sing Solamente Una Vez and Besame Mucho to lovely seiioritas. But why dream? say the 125 members of El Club Espanol. We rushed to the audio-visual room every third Tuesday at four o ' clock and were trans- ported to the land of true romance. There under the imaginative guidance of our sponsors and of- ficers we sang the songs, read the poetry, learned the customs of South America, and participated in activities which keep alive the spirit of friendliness and cooperation between our country and our South American neighbors. Emphasis this year was upon music, which is an established bond between all nations of the world. We sang the old familiars, such as Cielito Lindo and Adios Muchachos and added new Christ- mas carols and popular lyrics to our collection. Highlight of the year ' s program was our Christ- mas Fiesta given with the French Club. The party was fun for all with the traditional pinata, bull-fight, and presentation of the nacimiento. Other programs included humorous costumed skits given in Spanish, of course, by all the classes, de- scriptions of home towns and families by new mem- bers, and student translations of poems by well- known Latin poets. The spirit of the club is nowhere more aptly expressed than in its motto Lazas mas estrechas entre las Americas which means, Closer ties be ' tween the Americas. Our officers for the year were as follows: Mary Wyatt, president; Hilda Abernathy, vice-presi ' dent; Martha Anderson, secretary; Anne Motely, treasurer; Julia Perez,, program chairman; Miss Barksdale and Miss Draper, advisers. The Commercial Club year ' s Work Wa3 nialttialited ou interediina and altracii proaramA. RGANiZED in 1939, the Commer ' cial Club has for its purpose to give stud ents in the Business Education Department a more specific knowledge of the various opportunities in the busi ' ness field and to further their interests in this re- spect. It also provided social gatherings for the promotion of fellowship among the members. Membership in the Club consisted of two classes, active and honorary. Active members were those students who majored or minored in business edu ' cation. Honorary members included all teachers in the Business Education Department. In November we gave a quiz; program with vari- ous members of the Club participating. The ques- tions were based on facts and activities of the De- partment of Business Education. At our December meeting, Dorothy Tuck, an ex-Wave, spoke to members of the Club about her work in the Waves. The annual banquet of the Commercial Club was held January 24, at the Methodist church. Dr. Dabney S. Lancaster was the guest speaker. He brought us a message about teaching opportunities for graduates of the Business Education Depart- ment. Mr. Landrum also told us about some of the plans he had for the department. Other special guests were the honorary members of the Club and the faculty members of the department. Leading the activities of the Club for 1946-47 were the following: Barbara Kellam, president; Virginia Marshall, vice-president; Jacqueline Bob- bitt, secretary; and Barbara Lee Myers, treasurer. Home Economics Club y iub aisplauea ' coiieae ctotneA in itute Allow. l Si - HE Home Economics Club, with Miss Tupper as faculty adviser, was under the di- rection of the following officers: Betty Scroggins, president; Joyce Townsend, vice-president; Kath- erine Rainey, secretary; Elizabeth Maxey, treas- urer, and Charlotte Griz,zard, publicity manager. Twenty-eight freshmen became members of the club in the fall and were honored at a tea given by the officers. Since wars take sons and husbands away from homes, students interested in homemaking are vi- tally concerned with the efforts of any and all peace-making groups. Therefore, we took as our main project for the year the better understanding of the world peace movements of the United Na- tions and their relationship to the individual home. We believe that only through the thorough know- ledge of the customs, ideals, and points of view of other nations can we go forward to a true peace. Dr. Gordon Moss was our first speaker on this im- portant subject. Our secondary project for this school year was a style show of college clothes. The handsome suits made by the senior tailoring class were displayed. The other clothes worn in the show were made either in class or at home by the home economics students and were modeled by the girls who made them. This year we became members of the American Association of Home Economics College Women, and we hope in this way to widen our horizions. Y. W. C. A. ■tnpfia3i3 approved of unanimouAlu ; s a change from the usual down ' pour of rain, the sun was brightly beaming that memorable Monday the freshmen arrived. Y girls, dressed in white and wearing the Y. W. C. A. ribbons, met the busses and trains, answered countless questions at our information booth in the Rotunda, and acted as general handy men to the confused and astounded freshmen. That first week we eagerly sought the freshmen to whom we had written during the summer. Friday night we gave the Big Sister ' Little Sister Reception, at which the little sisters were introduced to the faculty and upper ' classmen. In October the freshmen were formally installed into the Y. Our candlelight service with the freshmen, dressed in white, marching down the Colonnade and into the Rotunda, was both lovely and impressive. The Y cabinet went to Longwood in October for Fall Retreat, and we spent a most enjoyable week ' end planning our year ' s work centered around the theme, The AU ' SufEcient Christ. Amid the Christmas festivities, the Y endeav ' ored to guide the thoughts of the student body to a fuUer reali2,ation of a true Christmas spirit. One night at prayers Margaret Lohr told the story Why The Chimes Rung, and after the tradi ' tional Hanging of the Greens, Miss Moran told The Other Wise Man. We presented the Christ ' mas pageant followed by White Christmas, in which each organi2,ation brought contributions for those in need. The annual spaghetti supper for the cabinet and advisers was held in the Y Lounge. We enjoyed immensely exchanging our gifts and the delicious meal prepared by Mary Wyatt and her social committee. During the holidays, Laura Jean Comerford, Virginia Tindall, and Miss Nichols attended the National Assembly of Student Y. M. C. A. ' s and Y. W. C. A. ' s at the University of Illinois. They returned from the convention all aglow with re ports, ideas, and suggestions. For Religious Emphasis Week in February, Dr. J. P. Allen from Bristol, Virginia, was with us. In chapel and in an open meeting he directed our at ' tention to the theme, Will Christianity Work? Climaxing the year ' s work, the Public Affairs Committee sponsored the World Student Service Fund drive combined with the Red Cross drive. The Prayers Committee, capably led by Laura Jean Comerford, prepared the nightly devotions which gave us a few quiet moments at the end of a busy day. Keeping us ever mindful of the work to be done through her own sincere leadership was our presi ' dent, Martha Russell East. Our thanks go to her for the achievement we attained. Helping Martha Russell, were Patsy Dale, vice ' president; Virginia Tindall, secretary; Nancy Chambers, treasurer, and Mary Ann Morris, fresh ' man counselor, whose diligent work combined with that of the rest of the cabinet made this another successful year for the Y. W. C. A. Inter- Varsity Christian Fellowship ' u ) Uhird uear of existence fauna circle dtretcltina jffWt% i attendance at m meetinad increased. • eHm mmL he Farmville State Teachers Col ' lege chapter of Inter ' Varsity began its third year with a determination to reach more girls than ever before. Inter ' Varsity provides an atmosphere in which girls may study and discuss God ' s word and learn more about His Will for their Hves. We met each Tuesday night in the Student Lounge, making a big friendly circle of earnest stu ' dents of His Word. Although our main interest was to study the Bible, we also had a song service at the beginning of each meeting. We who attend ' ed the after ' breakfast prayer meetings each morn ' ing in the Dean ' s Parlor will never forget the strength and inspiration we gained there for the coming day. Our circle stretched to include as many as twelve girls; our Tuesday night meetings drew from eighteen to fifty girls. In January we were delighted to hear about the Inter- Varsity Conference in Toronto from Hugh Brown, student at V. P. I. March brought with it our Virginia ' North Carolina Conference at the University of Virginia. This conference gave us new inspiration for our work as we learned about the work at other schools. Needless to say, all was not work and no play for our group. We had numerous parties after the regular business meetings, and a spring picnic was attended by a large number. The following girls faithfully led us in our work: Lee Carter, president; Agnes Millner, vice-presi ' dent; Gertrude Driver, secretary; Nadine Lewers, treasurer; Mildred Williams, pianist; Joyce Fleet, chorister; and Betty Bennett, missions secretary. The Wesley Foundation J 4 ial point of ueur came in -Arpril wnen iKeqionat Student it W w- (I r m ( onj-erence was Iteia. AVE you heard that there is to be a church supper Sunday night at six? You ' d better sign up! Those were famiHar words among Methodist girls this year when every second and fourth Sunday came. The social committee and the six circles working cooperatively made these sup ' pers a success. November was an exciting month for us, when we sent twenty delegates to the Regional Meth ' odist Conference at Mary Washington College. To the annual state conference held at Natural Bridge, we sent eight delegates, who returned much inspired. In March, the council enjoyed a banquet in the Tea Room to discuss the work of the vari- ous committees. The high point of the year was in April when the Regional Student Conference was held on our campus. Everyone was sorry to lose Miss Mary Clay Hiner as counselor of the Wesley Foundation, but we considered ourselves indeed fortunate to have the inspiring help of Miss Lucy Bralley. With the guidance of our new minister, the Rev. Arthur Reynolds, we felt that the Wesley Foundation had a very successful year. The officers of the Wesley Foundation are Char- lotte Gri2,2;ard, president; Katherine Rainey, vice- president; Louise Harrell, secretary; and Eli2;abeth Watts, treasurer. Baptist Student Union WemL K trip to embers too Aee appointmen oreian miAAionariei. I of ALL rolled around, and we found ourselves busily engaged in getting things straight at our Student Center while enthusiastically recalling summer experiences at Ridgecrest, Vacation Bible schools in the mountains, beach camps at Baptist Lodge, and even Indian thrills in Oklahoma. Since our Student Secretary, Olivia Stephenson, was un- able to be with us because of bad health, our de- voted and well-qualified president, Betty Bennett, wiUingly assumed duties of leadership in beginning our year ' s work. Aids to a good send-off were timely suuggestions from Jenny Lind Gatlin, As- sociate Southwide Student Secretary from Nash- ville, during her visit to our campus; the memor- able state convention at Bristol; and, of course, the frequent visits of Mr. Ralph Winders, our State Student Secretary . . . always an indispensable friend and helper. Olivia ' s return in November was heartily wel- comed by all, and our freshmen and other new girls soon grew to love her as did our older B. S. U. ' ers. Another red-letter date was that day in December when our new pastor, the Rev. Ben- jamin R. Bruner, and his family arrived straight from Hollywood, Fla. Through the guidance and inspiration of both our Student Secretary and pastor we gained new impetus for our work. Our Thanksgiving sunrise service; the week of vocational emphasis; the mission study class on Bra2;il led by Mrs. Elton Johnson, missionary to Brazil; the trip to Richmond to see the formal ap ' pointment of foreign missionaries; the spring re treat at Newport News; the spiritual fellowship of the Friday night prayer circle; and our Quiet Mo- ments each day all helped us to grow spiritually. On the lighter side were such events as the Christmas party for the foreign students, a formal B. S. U. banquet, fellowship hours including the singing of the Moon Song, the impromptu sup- pers at the center, the bull sessions lasting till the wee hours, and those Saturday nights spent at the Center. B. S. U. ers serving on our Executive Council were Betty Bennett, Lee Carter, Maria Addleman, Ella Stone Smith, Evelyn Hair, Jane Browder, Audrey Hudson, Rosa Chandler, Grace Anderson, Edith Apperson, Ethel Shockley, Martha Frances Webb, Patsy Dale, Geraldine Joyner, Ruby Grif- fith, Rachel Brugh, Mary Frances Hundley, Tillie Tillet, and Alice Jordan.

S «vv«« ' EPTEMBER, autumn leaves, a strong bree2;e, and the incoming class of ' 50 making its way to the freshman halls brought with it sixty Presbyterian girls. The path past the man with the musket, two blocks down, to the pretty white church became a familiar one. Jane Mantiply, president; Cile Sarver, vice-presi- dent; Christine Shiflet, secretary; and Mary Lu Graham, treasurer: these girls headed the council for this year — another year of working and wor- shipping together for the Hampden-Sydney boys and Farmville girls. Never-to-be-forgotten over -night retreats at Longwood with one blanket and a tooth brush, the annual Christmas party in the Student Lounge with Mr. Crawley ' s On the Road to Mandalay, a fire in the fire-place, tangerines, nuts, and De- cember outside the window, the newly established event of the council ' s supper for the freshman girls, the annual hayride with real horses and real hay, Mr. Roberts and his friendly smile — many, many things go together to make up our Westminster Fellowship. These things are a part of this year, and we hope will be a part of the many, many years to come. This year has brought us Caroline Eason, a graduate of Farmville, as our adviser. She has be- come one of us. This year has taken us to Rosy In, the beautiful estate on the outskirts of Richmond, to the Westminster Fellowship Conference of the Synod of Virginia. This year has brought us Jean Able, an exchange student from France, with his message from the students of France. This year with its theme, Live Christ, has been full of many good things. The months have flown by with supper meet- ings, song fests, movies on missions, and speakers; and the year is drawing to a close. Spring has found us now, hardly reali2,ing that she is here — so quickly has the long winter slipped by. Another year has ended — but long will we remember the little white church on the corner. Newman Club invitation was extended CT to y antpden- udneu L atnolic tfous to ioin li.Uii S.Uon L roii pi . s our club eagerly began its fourth year on the S. T. C. campus, an in- vitation into the Newman Club was extended by Father McCarthy to all of the new Cathohc girls. Jean Bentley, our president, presided at our meetings with Frances Livesay, vice-presi- dent; Carrie O ' Laughlin, secretary: Carol Stoops, treasurer; and Phyllis Scherberger, social chairman. Father McCarthy came to Farmville to meet with us twice a month. We held round ' table discussions on various questions that had arisen in regard to our reHgion. We were also further in- structed in the history of our religion and the mysteries of the Mass. After Christmas Father McCarthy extended an invitation to all the Catholic boys at Hampden- Sydney to join our discussion groups since they have no Newman Club of their own. This is the first year we have had the boys to participate in our meetings, for the Newman Club was not or- gani2;ed until the fall of 1943. At this time Hamp- den-Sydney was under the Navy V-12 program. Now the l5oys are back in the regular routine of college life and have added much to our discussion groups this year. We also welcomed into our club after Christmas Annette Vincent-Viry, a student teacher, who came to S. T. C. from Paris, France. Annette told us about Cathohcism in France. She explained to us a little about the part Catholicism is playing in the government of her country today. During the course of the year we were invited several times to have dinner with Father McCarthy and Father Eilerman at their home in Crewe. An invitation was also extended to the Newman Club girls of Blackstone College in order to bring these two groups into closer relationships. After Easter a dance was held at Washington and Lee Uni- versity to bring together the various Newman Clubs in this section. We concluded the club year with a special dinner at the Hotel Weyanoke. Christian Youth Fellowship J, ul ki ' idtt tan ndpira tiona l I dfuaent ' d conference was I hot eta I r lafitrai v riaqe. i HE Christian Youth Fellowship is an organi2;ation consisting of members of both the Congregational Christian and Disciples of Christ Churches. The membership was almost evenly divided, and we worked together as one group. Our organization began in February, 1946, and it consisted of approximately twenty-five active members. The big objective of the group was to serve as a link between our school life and our religious Hfe. We emphasized the importance of attending church and becoming an active part of one of the churches in town. We are unfortunate in having no church of our own denomination in the community, and we reali2;e the importance to col- lege hfe of a definite church affiliation. Our activities during our one year on campus have been limited. We met in the Y Lounge once each month for fellowship and worship. In June, 1946, we left Farmville with the memory of a greatly enjoyed, Longwood wiener roast still fresh in our minds. In September, we welcomed the old girls back and the new girls into our midst with a social in the Student Building. In Nov- ember, some of us attended a very inspirational Christian students ' conference at Natural Bridge. The officers elected in February, 1946, were as follows: president, Glennis Moore; vice-president, Yvonne Soyers; and secretary - treasurer, Jean Dailey. As Yvonne did not return to school in September, Connie Newman was elected to the office of vice-president. We have secured a start and will strive for fur- ther achievement in the future. Freshman Commission n me ntacni ew coKe machine in a tfrooiet ec cauAei problem oj- coltectina bottie ' 9 ACH year twelve freshman girls are elected by their classmates to serve on the fresh- man commission, a supporting branch of the Y. W. C. A. We have worked on numerous projects during the past year, including the management of the coke machine that was moved in the Rec in March. This work kept us all busy chasing coke bottles. The Hanging of The Greens, before we went home for the Christmas hohdays, was left to us, and we had a delightful time decorating the tree and entwining cedar around the pillars. Before and after the Christmas dinner we sang Christmas carols in the Rotunda. Each night after supper there could be found one commission girl hush ' ing for prayers just outside the auditorium doors and another up on White House. These were important projects. We enjoyed them, but our real work was just selling food — food — and more food day and night, even though the sign on the door read No food will be sold until ten o ' clock. Do commission girls have golden dispositions? Why, they most certainly do! For instance, Fm so sorry. I didn ' t mean to wake you, but do you have commission food this week? Since you ' ve been asleep only twenty minutes, you smile (even though you feel your face crack) and say, No, Sweetie, Fm sorry, but it is not on Main this week. You ' ll find potato chips on third floor White House. It would be impossible ever to forget our won ' derful week ' cnd at Longwood, when the Sopho ' more Commission entertained us there in the fall. Miss Camper chaperoned the twenty of us. The hike back in to school that early Sunday morning in the rain will be long remembered also. We could have waited a while longer, no doubt, but no one wanted to miss pancakes and syrup in the dining hall! All in all, we had a marvelous time getting to know each other in a bull session before the fire with plenty of good food. Mary Ann Morris, our adviser, was always willing to give her helpful services. She made it possible for us to accomplish many tasks easily. The officers for the year were as follows: Ann Nock, president; Caroline Page, vice ' president; Polly Reaves, secretary; and Koiner Baker, trea ' surer. Nomeka Bryant, Griswold Boxley, Robbie Cromar, Frances Dodson, Nancy Lee Maddox, Ray Phillips, Pat Paddison, Peggy West, and Peggy White were members. Since Milky Ways and Hersheys were a bit scarce, we had to charge six cents for each candy bar. We hope that next year everything will be more plentiful. We know the incoming commis ' sions girls will enjoy doing the things we have done. Let ' s all save now for food next winter — commis ' sion food, that is to say! It really was a grand year, and now we ' ll say, See you in white, girls, next fall in the Rotunda. Granddaughters Club la event of uear waJ ailtion Anow when aii-ii . oaetea llHotner s ' -- - - „j HE Granddaughters Club of Farmville State Teachers College started off in the fall with a bang when fortytwo very attractive and eager girls were accepted as new members. All were willing to do their part by helping in every way to make this year a great success. An activity that we all enjoyed was the annual circus booth. Many were the crowds that swarmed the booth to ring the bottle, and everyone enjoyed it immensely. Of course, those that did not ring the bottle at first may have been disappointed, but after trying again and again, they usually won. One of the biggest events of the year was the chapel program which we sponsored January twen ' tysecond. After devotions led by the viccpresi ' dent, Hilda Abernathy, and a brief history of the club told by the president. Sue Davis, a fashion parade took place with Charlotte Grizzard as mis ' tress of ceremonies. The girls took great pride in modehng our mother ' s clothes. Graduation dresses, with high necks, with ruffles, and with fuU skirts, attracted the attention of the audience. Then a charming wedding dress won their admiration. The gym suits and bathing suits of the early twentieth century brought forth many laughs. Attractive afternoon, church, and evening dresses added much to the exciting parade. Everyone enjoyed working for this program, and one of the chief projects for the year was to get many more dresses worn by our mothers. We hope to enlarge the present collection. We really think this year has been a success under the capable leadership of our officers: Sue Davis, president; Hilda Abernathy, viccpresident; Jean Babb, secretary; Margaret Whittle, treasurer; and Charlotte Grizzard, social chairman.

HROUGHOUT the whole year, the Farmville spirit was prevalent in the hard-fought con- tests as the girls of each class stood up to sing their color songs. The Rats cheered wildly at the traditional Thanksgiving hockey games which decided that they would wear their rat caps until Christmas. Here, also, the Red-and- Whites and the Green-and ' Whites sang for the first time the songs which they entered in the song contest. The Seniors will remember for a long time the song, Stand Up And Cheer, for this was their song — the song that won first place. As the varsity hockey team dribbled down the field for a victory against R. P. I., the air echoed spiritedly with words of Onward, Farmville and Cheer Farmville Girls. We shall ever be grateful to the Farmville alumnae who helped us to win the basketball game at Roanoke College with their enthusiastic yells and songs. Spring found us changing a few words in our songs in order to support our co-eds in their basket- ball games. Though we may forget the words, the tunes will ever be a bright spot in our memories of S. T. C. The Athletic Association nli uear orouant wiaer Interests ai einpnaAii waA placed on telearatfliic iwimmina meet. T the beginning of the year the Athletic Association presented a sports demonstra ' tion for the freshman class, the purpose of which was to promote a wider interest in athletics. Plans began immediately for the single tennis tournament and hockey practices, which ended with the hard- fought hockey games and traditional Color Rush. In January we began making plans for our basketball and volleyball seasons. The Varsity basketball squad played many exciting games, and the volleyball class games were no less exciting. Much stress was placed upon the telegraphic swimming meet. Everyone declared it to be a great success. With spring ' s balmy weather also came tennis, Softball, and archery. The warm days seemed to entice everyone to come out to the athletic field, as this year found more participants in these sports than ever before. Miss Her was our ever-faithful adviser, always helping us to develop the Farmville spirit, honor, and fellowship. The executive council was com- posed of Kitty Sue Bridgforth, president; Nellie Smith, vice-president; Jane Burchett, secretary; and Mary Ann Morris, treasurer. H2O Club eta AS S wimmers In inti meet foualtt nara to aain points for color cup. HE HoO Club has as its purpose the promoting of swimming activities, acting as Hfe guards at the pool, and cooperation with the Ath- letic Association in sponsoring swimming events. Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday nights the pool was open for the fun and frolic of the college girls. Because of war shortages, we were unable to use the pool very much last year. Therefore, no new members were taken into the club. We sponsored the inter-class swimming meet during the winter with the class swimmers splash- ing in a fight for their points for the color cup. We also sponsored the intercollegiate telegraphic meet, in which our swimmers swam here at Farm- ville and sent in their scores to be compared with those of the other colleges participating. When the final results were telegraphed back and forth, the excitement was great. In connection with the Red Cross Service we sponsored senior life-saving and examiner ' s courses in the winter and spring quarters. Peepsie Brooks kept our pennies and notes for us, and Miss Dabney was our ever-helpful and competent adviser. Gee Gee Yonce was our president. The members of the HjO Club were Grace Loyd, Peggy Cabiniss, Jean Babb, Peepsie Brooks, Betty Lee, Gee Gee Yonce, and Carol Jenkins. Monogram Club Ci tyu ciut was 9 ircui bootk sponsored nallea as t Success 111 ' HE purpose of the Monogram Club is two-fold: to stimulate interest in sports and to recognize athletic ability, scholarship, and sports- manship. Only those girls who we think are most outstanding in furthering this purpose are selected as members. A few days before Color Rush in the fall found us busily making hockey sticks. Selling these en- abled each person to sport her colors for the ensu- ing races and hockey games. The night of Circus we were in our booth giving everyone a chance to Bingo. The fun was enjoyed by all, especially by the luckiest players, who carried away the pri2,es. The booth was decorated with two beautiful mono- gram posters made by Sue, Nellie, and Jane. The cabin at Longwood was our responsibility, and various organizations signed with us for its use on week-ends. The day after the initiation of new members we always wore our blue and white mono- grams. Nancy Parrish served as our president with Sue Hundley faithfully handling the jobs of both sec- retary and treasurer. Miss Her was our ever-help- ful adviser. Pegasus I r lemberi oj- oDuitu dSootA ' were put tnrouan paced to pads strenuous initiaUt i ' HE fabulous flights of the flying horse Pegasus could never have equaled the pleasure the girls in the Pegasus Riding Club enjoyed this year. The first trail ride, the exultation of our first clean jump, even our first spills, made a bond of friendship among the eager members. President Jeanne Sauerwein was always ready to help us tack our mounts and to plan for the horse show; she was also a shining example of how a good horsewoman should ride. Since this club was ope n to all S. T. C riders, special honor should be accredited the five members of Dusty Boots, ' ' who had to do everything but break a wild staUion to pass the stringent initiation. P Orchesis trip to IwA C lubs [rip Ljreensln m m stamped in memories. ireensboro was UR return to school in September found many of us in poor shape, but after a few Vv ork-outs in the gym, we were ready for anything. The weekly orchesis practices were accompanied by strenuous work and much fun. With Miss Emily Kauzlarich as our sponsor and Nancy Whitehead as our president, we have gone through the activities of the year in a most suc- cessful way. Our yearly sing program was presented before Christmas. The program included Behind the Mask, which portrayed through dance the various feelings of man during a religious service. The club ' s second formal banquet was held this year. It was a gala occasion with all the members and many guests attending. Never to be forgotten was the club ' s trip to Grensboro. It was at this time that we presented a program at the Woman ' s Col- lege there. We completed our year of dancing by partici- pating in May Day. This year, more so than ever before, Orchesis played a large part in the produc- tion of our May Day pageant. Basketball u arSitu team orqa as in pre-war aaus. ; S quaa remained ►I JPlJ nized - - - - - ASKETBALL scason was high-light- ed this year by the fact that our varsity team was playing as it did in pre-war days. Practices were held from five o ' clock until six three days a week. There were twenty-eight girls on the Varsity squad. Under the leadership of Miss Her, our coach, the team was gradually molded into shape. The first game of the season was with Panz er Athletic College of New Jersey on January 31. Other games played were with Lynchburg College, Roanoke College, Bridgewater, Madison College, and Wilham and Mary. Four of the six games were played here. The class games were played during the last v eek of February. This year, in the round-robin tournament, besides striving to win the games for the color cup, the winner of the class teams played games with two other colleges. The first was with Radford College, and the other with the Norfolk Division of WiUiam and Mary. Both of these games were played here. Hockey (_jreend - and - lA nUed, uictoriouA In cla S aanteA, added ten points T ' HIS year S. T. C. went out for hockey in a big way. Not only were there class teams but also a varsity team. Margaret Ellett was the general manager of hockey this year with Peepsie Brooks as her assistant. Freshmen, who at first didn ' t seem to realize the excitement that our annual inter ' class games aroused, soon caught the spirit and helped fill the A. A. field each afternoon from 3:50 to 4:30. The day set for the class games to be played came quickly. Captains for the class teams were as follows: senior, Virginia Anderson; junior, Gerry Colgin; sophomore, Anne Barksdale; fresh ' man, Ray PhiUips. That day the green ' and ' whites added ten points toward the color cup, for the seniors beat the juniors, and the sophomores de ' feated the freshmen. The captain of our varsity hockey team was Nellie Smith. The varsity team played two games. One was a home game with the Richmond Profes ' sional Institute, and the other was played at the Sweet Briar Hockey Tournament with the Sweet Briar Reserves. Tennis I lotnina lifie male ?titu ,f ompetition, Sau ainA, ' ' Bl. ' jy y ' ' ' o-eds were uraed S Bhb o participate. - HEN we arrived at school in Sept ' ember, we found that most of the freshmen brought new racquets, and the old girls had their old ones restrung. This made a wonderful beginning for the fall tennis tournament under the management of Betty Burchett. Most of the girls had heard about the red ' and ' white and green ' and ' white colors. They had heard, too, of the spirit in which we fought for their possession. Green ' and ' white was on top this fall with Mary Harrison defeating Betty Burchett. The co ' cds in school this year also used the courts. We would like to see them play more often and perhaps enter into our tournaments. Classes were taught under the supervision of Miss Olive Her with the student assistants. Moans and groans were often heard at the beginning of the year, but by the end of the quarter we found that we had some excellent tennis players. Archery UJear found more arctieru fanA ttian ever tyefore a trie sport lained in noniitan ' tu Ciainea in popuianiu. isiNG in popularity as a favorite among sports this year was archery. With the faithful guidance of Miss Her and the manager and co ' manager, Phyllis Fulcher and Doris Funck, arch ' ery started off with a bang. On Tuesday and Thursday at 1 :50 anyone could walk near the A. A. field and hear the whiz of the arrows as they sailed through the air. We were all sure we could never make a buirs eye or even come near that gold center, but with each practice we came closer to it. Each practice also left our arms a little stiffer. With continuous prac tices, setting up the targets, selecting our favorite bows, arrows, finger tips, and arm guards, we were sure we would become experts in a short time. We also had recreational practices on Sunday, which added to our enjoyment. The driUing on good form, our abiding by it, and the enjoyment we had, led us to believe that archery was tops. If you don ' t believe us, try it! Softball Lj antes after supper drew crowds to witness niantiu nonte-runs made lyu I flint on. PRiNG came and with it softball. It was always one of the most popular sports on the campus, and every afternoon the two diamonds on the athletic field were filled with greeu ' and ' whites and red ' and ' whites. They were practicing for the round ' robin tournament as the winner would add points toward the coveted color cup. It was still light after supper. Many of us gath ' ered the balls and bats and ran barefooted around the bases. We yelled excitedly when Gerry Colgin knocked a homcrun. Betty Minton ' s pitching was also a source of amazement for those of us who knew so little about such techniques. There were scheduled classes with Miss Her, where the begin ' ners were taught. Mary Evelyn Miles was the manager who recorded the practices for the class teams. We were all quite sad on rainy days, when we had to go in the gym for our exercise. Riding J orSeSnoe rina displaued talents of ttotlt norses and riders. LUM faces were seen at the begin ' ning of the year whenever riding was mentioned. No one seemed to know anything about anything per ' taining to riding, and the horsclovers were frantic. Then suddenly the light broke through the gloom. Miss Lucy Shields appeared on the Farmville scene with her own string of five horses and one dog. Soon classes were wending Longwood way, and riding was made a part of our physical education department. Of course, some girls were not taking the rides for credit, but a boss is a boss, and every body learned together. The turn of the year found the beginners riding with a far more assured air than they had in September. Filly, Nicoti, Pokey, Red, Port, and Butch became the topic of everyday conversation. The Fall Horseshow displayed the talents of both horses and riders. Miss Shields became hoarse shouting directions to train us for the big show. Many interesting personalities showed up around the stables — personahties which blended to make the spring show a success. Here ' s to next year.. .may the trails be ever ready for the Farmville cavalcade. Volleyball tournament events and class aames afforded muck excitement as color teams tied for points. iTH the coming of winter quart ' er, volleyball season rushed in to stay for a few months. We were eager to begin playing the game. Miss Her, our instructor, injected into our play helpful hints and suggestions about how to achieve the finer as well as the fundamental points of the game. We, the members of the respective class teams, vied for class and color leadership. What had seemed an easy game became a game involving co ' operation, coordination, and teamwork. To be able to play on a class team we had to have at least eight practices and an academic average of C. The question of playing ability was also considered. As the season came to a close, class tournaments were in the offing. Class team captains were elect ' ed, and players in turn were chosen for the differ ' ent teams. We were excited over the tournament events and their outcome. Competition was more evident, and we wondered whether the reds or the greens would win the more volleyball games. w Athletic Association Officers, top row, left to right: Bridgforth, N.

Dates and more dates! Everyone had her favorite escort at the most important Senior Dance. We were quite proud of the intricate figure created by the girls and boys. After this we danced to the no-break dance, Fll See You in My Dreams. Goat week brought no end of excitement as the new girls composed songs, a task inflicted upon them as part of the two-day initiation. It was they who furnished the decorating committee for Fall and Spring Cotillions. We found much pleasure in gathering in the Chapter rooms for a few hands of bridge and some new records. We enjoyed especially the parties after rushing, when we sang our special songs. The Chapter rooms really came alive for intermission parties at dances. Maybe this was due to the fact that this was the only time men were allowed on Second Floor Student. Work and play were combined when we started the first of the year to make plans for the long- awaited May Day. Much time was spent collecting costumes and even more time teaching the court how to dance. This was work, but we loved it. Each sorority song, each particular song played at dances, each part we had in the May Day pro- gram — all gay and happy events bring FarmviUe closer to us whenever we recall them. Pan-Hellenic Council ip piaaue. WAS quite a job to keep the eight sets of Greek letters located on the second floor of Student Building straight. Such was the job of the Pan ' Hellenic Council. Our council was made up of one representative and the Grand Master of each of the eight soror ' ities on campus. We met in monthly sessions to deal with the problems confronting the sororities as a whole, and hashed them over until we found a solution that would be best for all. Fall rushing, the first of the three seasons of rushing of the year, went off smoothly and served as a fine training period for the big winter rushing. As has been the custom of Pan-Hellenic Councils, we held an open meeting in November to which all sorority members were invited. This year we had as our guest speaker our new president. Dr. Dabney S. Lancaster. After a very interesting and inspirational talk, we adjourned for a period of in- formal chatter, with punch and cookies to help the conversation along. At this open meeting Mu Omega was awarded the Fan-Hellenic plaque for having the highest scholastic standing of the eight groups. Almost before we knew it, January had rolled around, and our busy season was at hand. Lists were collected and compiled, and our work dur- ing winter rush season turned out to be exacting but nevertheless exciting. On March the first we realized that that long- awaited event, the Pan-Hellenic dance, was at last here. We danced with our OAO ' s for our no- breaks and got a real thrill in seeing each of the sororities ' colors and shields adorning the gym walls. So busy were we with thoughts of spring soon after this, that we found it difficult to realize that we must don our white, and witness installation of the new officers. The end of our work had come. Kitty Parham served capably as our Pan-Hel head, and Miss Cleaves, at all times our steadying friend, served as our adviser. Her talks to us and the rushees were one of the main reasons that our year went by so smoothly and that our work was such fun for us. Sigma Sigma Sigma ert onveniion tic I lational (_ to tfe field in l Uillianiibura. Amid cheery greetings, girls load- ed with boxes took their belongings from the chapter room, where they had been stored during the sum- mer months. It was good to see our room take on its homehke appearance once more as Sigma began another year in Alpha chapter. Early in the fall our hamburger fry in the cabin at Longwood was pronounced as a complete suc- cess. All enjoyed the fun of walking out there to find a delicious treat awaiting. Our dates raved on and on about the fun they had too. The flurry of Christmas and examinations was suddenly upon us. Our gay Christmas Party will long be remembered for the happiness we shared exchanging gifts and for the beauty of the Chapter room decorated with the Christmas tree, can dle- light, and the traditional green of the season. Miss Camper was hostess at a lovely after-dinner coffee for us before we went home for Christmas. Alphas gave a basket to an old negro servant who was badly in need of help. We also gave a Christmas party and program at John Randolph elementary school. Our memories are many and golden. Among them was the welcoming of Katherine Acree into our society. The pledge party held in her honor was delightful. Highlighting our memories is the visit paid to us by Mable Lee Walton, our beloved national president. As usual she left with us a new inspiration and zest in life, and we were highly honored to have her with us for a few days. Next on the list of memories is our winter rush season. We were delighted to welcome as new members the following: Eli2;abeth Bragg, Barbara Watkins, Helen Hardin, Ann Moss, Elizabeth Harrell, Polly Richardson, Sally Ann Dunnington, Barbara Jean Robertson, Shirley Hillstead, Nancy Lee Maddox, Robbie Cromar, Nomeka Bryant, Grace Kappes, Ann Snead, Harriet Ratchford, Mary Towles Waldrop, Carolyn Rieck, Annette Jones, Peggy West, Ann Nock and Virginia Reid. That night we had a party in the chapter room in honor of our new girls. A big event on our calendar was our annual Founder ' s Day Banquet in the Tea Room. That was one meal which every member attended, as well as many guests. It was an impressive occasion, marking our fiftieth birthday. That brings to mind our National Convention to be held this July at WiUiamsburg, Virginia. None of us can talk of anything else as that occasion will bring not only Alphas together again, but Sigmas from all over the United States. We are honored to be hostess in our own native State, and in so historical a location. Our president, Kitty Sue Bridgforth, was some ' times relieved of her duties by Kakie Hundley, our vicc ' president, who did a good job of educating the pledges. Virginia Marshall served as recording secretary; Gee Gee Yonce as treasurer; and George Ann Lewis as corresponding secretary. Kitty Par ' ham served as president of Pau ' Hels. Miss Pauline Camper, our adviser, remained as ever, our most faithful and loyal supporter. Gamma Theta aior eff-orl of- uear aecotatinti i ltat ij-fott of wai recLecoratina K lrapl turning. tvatiA into avorite hah 14 btui ' ' ' ' - - Looking back is always fun. This year was certainly one to look back on. Gamma Theta meant something special to us all. We were small this year and very close. No Gammie will ever forget the warm spirit of friendliness which we all had. We missed many familiar faces, but looked forward to their occasional week ' end visits. Our major effort was to redecorate the chapter room. We finally succeeded in getting the walls painted our favorite baby blue, and contentment was on every face as we sat admiring the effect. And many were the pleased exclamations from visiting alumnae. The chapter room was now more than ever a place in which to forget our worries and to relax. At the PaU ' Hellenic tea in the fall we enjoyed the get ' together of all the sororities. We were de ' lighted to have as our speaker Dr. Lancaster, the new president of the college. Christmas brought the traditional party with presents and poems for all. We sang, ate, and laughed at each other ' s poetic abiUties. What sur ' prising things can come from anonymous ! Also there was the surprise announcement of Pat ' s mar ' riage to Vernon Daniel, and a very happy surprise it was. We returned from the holidays glowing with good times and completely recovered from exami ' nations. We were ready to settle down with the main highlight of the year — winter rushing. At the close of the parties we felt we were lucky, and that congratulations were in order. We pledged eight new baby gammies. They were Jennie Lee Cross, Suffolk; Frances Dodson, Norfolk; Hilda Edwards, Hampton; Mary Jane Klasman, Norfolk; Elizabeth Jeffreys, Goldsboro, N. C; Gene Shep- herd, Norfolk; Martha Showalter, Lynchburg; and Sarah Squires, Norfolk. Rushing over, we welcomed the new girls into our group. They were soon at home in the G. T. family. We felt that Gamma Theta had a small part in helping others through contributions to the Red Cross Drive, March of Dimes, the alumnae Loan Fund, and the Jarman Organ Fund. This year we were proud of Sue ' s achievements as editor ' iu ' chief of the Virginian and Dorris ' s fame as a member of the Mardi Gras Court. Spring came, and we took to the out ' of ' doors with a week ' end at Longwood. The fun we had made up for the hard beds in the cabin. Also in the spring was our annual banquet. We were happy to have Dr. Jarman and Dr. Lancaster with us. Our beloved Miss Stubbs was with us again this year, always ready to help us. Our officers were Dorris BaUance, head; Nancy Chambers, vice ' head; Jane Burchett, secretary; and Pat Daniel, treasurer.

With it an ' other year was started off with a bang by every one ' s rushing over to the chapter room to clean off the cobwebs, to dust the room, and to claim her possessions. It sounds gruesome. But there we all met and compared notes on our summer vacations. We were glad to welcome back Kathryne Ken ' nedy and Doris Burks, after they had been away from us for a few years. However, we didn ' t keep Doris long because she was married during Christ ' mas as was also Dot Turley. We were happy to have Frances Harvey, who is Mary Lib ' s sister and a transfer from Beta Epsilon chapter at Madison. Lucile kept us all in oh ' s and ah ' s when she told us about her trip to Colorado. She was our delegate to the first National A. S. A. convention since before the war, a convention which was held at Estes Park, Colorado. Lu didn ' t stop with the four days of the convention; she stayed on four extra days to enjoy the wonders of Colorado. Through Lucile, our national officers have come to mean more to us than just a name. Marion Clark, National Registrar, visited us one week ' cnd at the beginning of the year. She and Lucile had just come back from Richmond, where they had attended a luncheon at the Oakleaf Inn. It was held in honor of Mrs. Thomas Eason, who won the Wilma Wilson Sharp award for the year. Our annual banquet was held on our Founder ' s Day, November the fifteenth, in the Tea Room. Everyone had a wonderful time, and the decora ' tions looked quite pretty in the traditional red and white. We went all out for taking pictures in the chap ' ter room during our Christmas party. Consequent ' ly we have something besides posed ' for snapshots in the scrapbook. It was good to have Boots and Carolyn enjoy the party with us. Winter rushing found us pledging E. Day Brooks, Panky Collie, Liz Harris, Bee Hylton, Carolyn Page, Ray Phillips, and Jessie Lee Pickett. The pledge party was really out of this world with comic valentines faUing out of the napkins and all ' day suckers for everyone. Jane and Jackson outdid themselves on that one. But don ' t let us forget our annual trip to Long ' wood. We couldn ' t say enough about the good time we all had. Then our intermission parties shouldn ' t be overlooked either. It was all fun, and we have truly enjoyed a successful year under the leadership of the following: Lucile Upshur, presi ' dent; Ellen McMullen, vice ' president; Mary Lou Bagley, secretary; Nancy Taylor, treasurer; and our ever ' present adviser.

With another year behind us we can sing the words of our toast song, When college days are over, Our paths lie different ways Still memories are golden. Of dear old Pi Kap days. feeling both joy over the wonderful year it has been and sorrow in parting with our beloved seni ' ors. We were proud of Martha Russell, Jane, Lohr, and Dot. It was hard for us to give them up. Memories are golden of parties in the chapter room, spending the night Over at the building, rushing, talk ' fests (better known as bull sessions), and comparing notes on everything from men to mathematics, even studying for exams. During the fall quarter Helen Londeree, Martha Sours, Betty Spindler, and Tucker Winn joined us as full-fledged Pi Kaps. We also celebrated our fifty-first birthday with breakfast at Shannon ' s. We worked hard on Circus, Fall Cotillion, and Senior Dance, so that the days shpped by quickly, and exams and Christmas came before we knew it. We had the never-to-be-forgotten Christmas party during exams, which make us put off thoughts of work and put on a gay mood as we looked forward to the holidays. With January came a new quarter and a new round of affairs. A new event on the campus — Student Body Dance — put Margaret Lohr in the hmelight. Tucker also rated a share of the laurels as chairman of the floor committee. Rushing claimed much of our time, and we were overjoyed with our new pledges. Then we set about doing our part with Mardi Gras and planning May Day. Spring brought with it our spring banquet and May Day. At last came the time for our senior party, at which we sadly bade farewell to Martha Russell East, Jane Johnson, Margaret Lohr, and Dot May. Those who were in command this year were Martha East, our president; Joyce Hill, our Yice ; Jane Johnson, recording secretary; and Dot May, corresponding secretary. Marjory Miller was our treasurer; Ethel Harrison served as keeper of the archives and rushing chairman. Ann East was historian; Bobby Mitchell, room chairman; Betty Scroggins served us as social chairman. Miss Her, our adviser, and Miss Dabney, our patron, were faithfully on hand always to guide us in our upholding of the high ideals for which Pi Kappa Sigma stands. Mu Omega Ljtace ptaued Atellc rote of anta L tc at L nrldtmaA part aui Move that desk over here! Some- body polish the silver service! Please, someone, catch the vie, and stop tracking the rug! I just swept it! These requests went on in the Mu Omega chapter room soon after we arrived in September. We didn ' t mind cleaning up this time as we were all glad to see our chapter room and mos t of all, each other. Everyone had to relate all the wonderful things she had done in the summer, and Shuffle, Grace, Anne, and Hilda had to give us a blow by blow descrip- tion of their beach trip. The Mu O ' s are reaUy in there when it comes to having fun! October and fall rushing brought us three new girls — Ginnie Walsh, Betty Jo Vail, and Betty Curlee. The Mu O ' s were full of laughter and gayety the night rushing was over and we held our party. When the black and white crew get to- gether you never know what ' s going to happen next! Fall quarter also found us winning the Pan- Hellenic scholarship plaque, which we proudly hung in the chapter room. We will always remember our Christmas party with Grace playing Santa Glaus. The chapter room looked beautiful, especially with the tree that the sophomores had risen at six o ' clock to get. We returned from the Christmas holidays to settle down to business of rushing. At the end of rush week, we proudly welcomed seven new girls into our group. The party that night was a big success with Ginnie Walsh and Cookie singing or rather trying to sing Shirley and Bessie ' s old song. Springtime found us welcoming our alumnae who had come back to our annual banquet. The Mu Omegas were really in their glory that week- end. Spring quarter also found us spending the week-end in the cabin at Longwood. Many hil- arious things happened that week-end. Another successful and wonderful year drew to a close for Mu Omega under the leadership of our officers: Anne Shufllebarger, Hilda Bennett, Pete Peterson, and Virginia Hollifield. Our love and appreciation go to Miss Wheeler, our adviser, for her guidance, and also to Dr. Moss and Mrs. Packer, our honorary members. Such things as Sunday teas in the chapter room, parties, picnics, Boola Boola, Galloway ' s cast, hurrying, black and white, and We ' ll follow Miss Wheeler sadden those of us who are gradu- ating, but those of us who remain are eager to have another year as happy as the past one. Alpha Sigma Tau . S. O. ' s unanimoudiu decided to nave oLJude I ' s.ancn pnrln tnr pit afi( ' . - September found all A. S. T. ' s in a mad rush to welcome each other, with time out to groan over the confusion in our chapter room! Everyone contributed some good old elbow grease however, and soon we were welcoming a happy year as sisters together. This has been a year for each Tau girl to remember with pride. In October, we had our cabin party at Long ' wood. We will never forget the spirit of friend ' ship that prevailed as we sat around the fire ' place, eating, telling ghost stories, and singing our Tau songs. Our weekly meetings continued, and in no time, fall rushing had brought us Bebe Geyer and Anne Robinson. Proudly, we gave a special party in their honor and called it The Dude Ranch party! The girls dressed in jeans, plaid shirts, and boots, and the chapter room was decorated typically as a dude ranch. The entertainment was in keeping with the theme and we unanimously decided to have our Dude Ranch each year! Our alumnae representative visited us, and we settled down to some serious work. Christmas brought us special cheer! The Zeta Tau party couldn ' t have been better. Gifts were exchanged and refreshments were served. Miss Nichols told a Christmas story, and as we gathered around the tree, our voices blended softly in the traditional carols. One of the biggest events of the year was our search for an Alpha Sigma Tau sweetheart. Each member contributed a picture of some special man, with the necessary information. No names were given, and the judges chose none other than Andrew Bailey. We invited him to Pan ' Hel dance, and at our intermission party, we named him as our AST sweetheart for the year! Winter rushing left us proudly displaying the following pledges: Helen Arington, Lucile Bald ' win, June Banks, Grizwold Boxley, Joanne Brit ' tingham, Marjorie Boswick, Eleanor Bass, Dot Carter, Betty Jean Cecil, Delores Duncan, Hope Duke, Lelia May Ferret, Jane Long, Joan Moore, Pat Patterson, Calanthia Rippon, Evelyn Rippon, Jean Turner, Gwen Smith, June Walsh, Jesse White, and Jane Williams. Having been chosen Mardi Gras Queen, Gwen Ackiss was our beauty candidate for the year. An undying vote of thanks we extend to Miss Bedford and to our officers: Betty Bibb, Doris Ramsey, Jean Pritchett, and Barbara Kellam. And, to Alpha Sigma Tau, we gratefully say Thanks for the Memories !! Fhi Zeta Sigma I Iti etai lionoted enior members witn id ween-en m- J d at (irani rJLonniii Loaded down with suitcases, but with a cheery hello for everyone, we came back in September to S. T. C, ready to plunge into the old, familiar routine again. First came that cust ' omary mad scramble to clear the chapter room of its customary clutter. We really missed our Phi Zetas that didn ' t return in the fall, but things got under way and off to a big start with a wonderful initiation party honoring four new pledges, who had been 1946 spring rushees. These girls were Edna Earle Waters, Helen Owins, Janie Bell Sommers, and June Gianniny. How well we remember the frightened look on their faces as we ushered them into the dark room, barefooted over broken eggshells, and the fear on their faces as Joan so cunningly told them Phi Zeta Sigma ' s ghost story. During fall rushing, we proudly welcomed Martha Ashby, Connie Christian, Shirley Ann Reaves, Grace Shriver, and Ruth Radogna. To top off this event, we celebrated with a most suc ' cessful pledge party, honoring these new girls. Connie and Irma will always be remembered for the delicious plates they prepared for us. We really missed having Miss Willie London with us, but were proud to welcome as our adviser, Miss Win ' nie Hiner, who has truly been to us a constant friend and companion. Phi Zeta Sigma ushered in the Christmas season with a buffet supper in the chapter room the week prior to exams. Santa Glaus paid us a visit and left under the tree a stocking for each of us. You can imagine our excitement when Mary Wyatt came back after Christmas sporting a diamond. Next on the calendar of events was winter rush- ing, which caused much hub ' bub and excitement. After a great contest and effort we were proud to claim as our very own the following girls: Nancy Davis, Bobbie Davis, Ann Fulgham, Frances Hughes, Jeanne Dunne, Vivian Jackson, Connie Loving, Mary Frances Hundley, Ann Bidgood, Ruth Hathaway, Elinor Lawless, Ella Ann Stone, Audrey Newman, Barbara Gri2;2,ard, Libby Orndorff. On the Week-end of February 22, we celebrated our birthday with a banquet and tea. We were in- deed happy to see so many of our alumnae back on our campus, and we thoroughly enjoyed talking over old times with them. We will always remember our week-end at Longwood, honoring the senior members of our chapter. What fun it was to eat to our heart ' s content in true picnic style! It was a never-to-be-forgotten year for Phi Zeta Sigma under the capable leadership of Jane Man- tiply, president; Charlotte Gri2;2,ard, vice-president; Rachael Brugh, recording secretary; Louise Har- rell, corresponding secretary; and Catharine Bickle, treasurer. Theta Sigma Upsilon our neta iai speni wonaerfuC weeK-end i ' lAuina iidterA at f r laaison. For once it wasn ' t raining when we Theta Sigs cheerfully greeted our sisters in September. Of course, the chapter room was our destination to gather our belongings stored there all summer. Beach parties, weddings, and our latest men fur- nished the spice for many bull sessions those first days. Harriet and Bev brought back glowing stories of the National Convention of Theta Sig in Canada, celebrating our twenty-fifth birthday. We missed many famihar faces in the chapter room, but the six new sisters who joined us after fall rushing, filled the gap. These girls were Louise Blackman, June Cregar, Joan Driver, Frances Fears, Elizabeth Maxey, and Mabel Park. Our room really had all the trimmings for a love- ly Christmas party. The tree couldn ' t have been more beautiful; and when we sang carols, all of us caught the true spirit of Christmas. Each of us gave toys which we sent to the Baptist Orphanage in Salem, rather than exchanging gifts among our- selves. Before we realized it, ' twas January. Then winter rushing left us with some darling pledges. Our pledge party was a bang-up affair. The food was perfect. For all our parties it was Sue Ann who took charge and whose hard work made them a success. In February four of us had a superb week-end visiting our sisters at Madison. It was heavenly to stay in their house. Also we initiated our beloved Mrs. McCoy as a mother patroness. She has added so much to our group, just as she has to all S. T. C. The Pan-Hellenic Dance was fun with a no- break dance with the one and only to the melody of our Theta Sig song of the year. March 22 saw us trooping to Longwood to cele- brate our Founder ' s Day. We had our banquet there and stayed in the big house. This was a great occasion. Many of our Tau alumnae returned for the week-end, and we had three Phi girls from the Madison chapter of Theta Sig with us too. We saw one of our best years ever under Martha Webb as president; Harriet Purcell as vice-president; Jeanne ToUey as secretary; Bev Boone as treasurer; Hilda Abernathy as editor, and Miss Jennings as our friend and faithful ad- viser. Our spring picnic was fun. Soon graduation took many of our best girls, but our happiness o ' er- shadowed our sadness with expectations of a house party at Virginia Beach and another exciting con ' vention. Cotillion Club J iahliantd of ueat I inciuaea aancej. Ljoati lived lives of doaA for I two daiiS. ..■■■■..:,rir::. :..::;.:. .i :. S Y thc cnd of Septcmber there were many plans for the coming year. With dates once more available, there was no doubt that this year would prove to be a most successful year for the Cotillion Club. We were eagerly awaiting our first meeting so that we could make plans for our dances of the season. Fall quarter, thirty-five upper classmen accepted our bids to become new members. With Dot May as chairman of decorations for our first dance, October twentysixth, the new girls converted the gym into a ballroom for Hallowe ' en festivity. Doris Rose Ramsey and her music committee se- cured Russ Carlton and his fifteen-piece orchestra to set the tempo for our dance, which proved to be one of the memorable occasions of the year. Seventy-five freshmen became members in De- cember. The traditional yellow ribbons were proudly worn by the new girls, and we were as appreciative as they. April twelfth was the date set for Spring Cotil- lion. The goats, directed by Kitty Sue Bridg- forth, attractively decorated the gym for the gala affair with green and yellow crepe paper. The highlight of our dance was the Cotillion figure led by Nancy Whitehead in her graceful manner. Nu held its annual ceremony presenting identification bracelets to its senior members. Two days later the goats were subjected to the do ' s and don ' ts of the old members. The goats tried harder than ever to please the goat court, headed by Grace Loyd. After much work, we all relaxed and wel- comed into the Club, the hard working girls as loyal member s. Our officers this year were Barbara Lee Myers, president; Nancy Whitehead, figure leader; Jane Johnson, secretary-treasurer; Doris Rose Ramsey, business manager. Mr. Coyner was our adviser. May Day Committee c. ommittee was rewati lite ded ted ad armville preseni a most spectacular I If I a If oLJavf. ONG before the actual practices for our annual May Day Festival began, our May Day committee had been elected. Through their capable planning the general outline for May Day was laid early in the year. First of all, orchids go to Miss Emily Kauzlarich, who wrote the drama and directed our festival. Without her help and guidance we simply would not have been able to present a May Day. Nancy Whitehead served efficiently as chairman; Heidi Lacy served as business manager. Sharing the re- sponsibilities was Betty Jordan, who was in charge of the music, and Betty Jane Cecil, who assisted her. Working as co-chairman of dance were Mar- garet EUett and Bebe Geyer. Eloise Stancell was in charge of transportation; Pat Carter Daniel in charge of the staging. Cathryn Mostella served as costume chairman with the help of Hope Frank, Sue Davis, Gwen Cress, Ella Stone Smith, and Charlotte Griward. Our work began when we assisted in the election of the queen and her court. The voters found it hard to make their selections as this year saw many girls participating in the election. The next im- portant thing to do was to obtain girls for the numerous dances. When the time came for the girls to sign up, the committee was delighted to find such overfall support. This year, more so than ever before, the May Day gave a bigger and warm- er feeling to all of us. It portrayed through dance the history of our beloved college. Then the work really began! There were dance practices every day until the intricate steps and movements were mastered. Girls busily designed and sewed their costumes. Night practices found everyone sitting on the gym floor waiting for her turn in the spotlight, but busily sewing, sewing, and sewing. Music was not only practiced but composed when the need arose. It was perfected as were the properties. The committee, as a whole, worked harmoni ' ously, with no more than the expected number of problems arising. When May finally dawned, we were more than rewarded for all our efforts and perseverence, as Farmville presented the most spec tacular May Day ever. Northern Neck Club d-jia event of tne ueat wclA namouraer j-east i rf ' Ir. KJraltain A bach ifara. HERE are you from? is the ques- tion asked as we gather for our first meeting in the fall. Oh yes, I know where that is. I don ' t live far from there may be the reply, for the members of the Northern Neck Club are all from that little peninsula between the Rappahannock and the Potomac. Our meetings are wonderful opportun- ities to reminisce about our good times back home. Our first aim was to get all of our new and old girls together and to make each feel her part in the club. We tried to help our new girls through the first hard weeks so that they would soon realize the real Farmville spirit and become an actual part of S. T. C. The big event of the year was the annual ham- burger feast in Mr. Graham ' s back yard. Every- one, including Charlie Hop, went for those hamburgers. We wrote letters to the girls back home telling them about S. T. C. and encouraging them to come to Farmville next year. Making a contribu- tion to the Jarman Organ Fund was the aim of our social service program for the year. Azeele Hutt was chosen to preside over our meetings as president. Rubinette Thomas was vice-president; Lela Bouldin was secretary-treas- urer. Mr. French, as our adviser, made all our meetings gay and cheerful. Eastern Shore Club f , . emberA returned to I ' ltool in tne alC to e cape rate from tne fumnter on tne Anore. funtnter on S. ' ■ . J) NE more long train ride and ferry trip took the shore girls back to S. T. C. after another summer full of fun on the sandy beaches of the peninsula. We had no difficulty in settling down to the old Farmville routine, which we all love. It was not until we came to Farmville and had the first meeting of the year that we reali2,ed there were girls from the Eastern Shore whom we had never met. Soon after this, we got together and discussed everything we knew about our home towns. Nancy Taylor, who had been chosen presi- dent at the close of the last school year, presided over the meetings. Peggy Ann Ames was vice- president; Ann Nock was secretary-treasurer. We gladly welcomed Miss Craddock to continue as our faculty adviser. Our purposes include the creation of a friendly atmosphere among the girls and the encouragement of high school girls in coming to Farmville. Our meetings seemed to furnish the only opportunities of getting together as one big family. At the end of the year, we packed our trunks and returned home to spend another sum- mer, which we look forward to year after year. Pan-Hellenic Council Left to right: N.

We were in school when our country was at war. It wasn ' t easy fo r us to enjoy hfe or to master the routine of classes when our minds were somewhere in the Pacific or in Europe or some other corner of this big earth. Certainly we shall need no pictures or memoranda to serve as reminders. And now as Singing we near the end of our College days we are all thankful that we can raise our voices in song, gaily and lightly. In this last section of the book we have tried to present glimpses of highlights of this year at Farm- ville. We sing the praises of those who were outstanding among us, those who helped us develop that spirit embedded in all of us. We toast those of us who were chosen as the fairest of the fair. The most amusing to us in later years will be those pictures taken in our off moments. When we look at them and smile, perhaps we shall remember the catchy tunes we sang in bull sessions or the song on which we tried to harmoni2,e. They will remind us of Farmville and play. Somehow we found time for plenty of it. Senior Personalities C iant airli elected ou Students as ICS. OUR — For four years Margaret has been admired for her perseverance and poise. Her capable leadership as president of the student body has confirmed the opinion with which we have regarded her. Her efforts have not been con ' fined to only one phase of campus activity. Her skill on the hockey field and basketball court, and her active participation in the organizations in which she was a member have convinced us of her versatility. She will always be remembered for her co-operative and amiable spirits. East — The epitome of quiet leadership, Martha Russell has kept us ever aware of the influence of the Y. W. C. A. Additional laurels are due her for the contributions she has given to class activi- ties, student government, and Alpha Kappa Gam- ma as well as her superb guidance as president of the Y. We especially admire her friendliness, her untiring devotion to her work, and her keen appreciation of knowledge. These qualities have made possible her fiUing a memorable place in our college life. Parham — Because of the capable manner in which she has performed the duties given her, Kitty has been recogni2,ed as a leader on our campus. She has ably completed her job as president of the House Council and the Pan-Hellenic Association. Our gratitude and respect have been won by her gracious manner, her determination to see the job well done, and her never-ending patience. Kitty ' s characteristic low voice and vivid gestures have added a touch belonging to only Our Kitty. Ellett — Margaret ' s possession of those qualities essential for leadership shown in her splendid man- agement of the activities of the class of ' 47 through her four years as its president. In addition she was a most competent president of Alpha Kappa Gamma. Also included in Pete ' s wide range of activities were playing sports, dancing, and sing- ing. Often we have marveled at her finding time for classes since her major appeared to be extra- curricular activities, but her abilities seemed un- hmited. Her wiUingness to help at all times and her sincere interest in her undertakings have en- deared her to fellow students. Whitehead — Nancy ' s versatile activities in which she has engaged since her freshman year have exemplified the true Farmville spirit. Famed for her beauty and grace, Nancy has also captured our attention with her aptitude for dance and art. Being editor of the Co omxad.e her junior y ear re- vealed her literary talents. This year she has rend- ered invaluable service as president of Orchesis and head of Student Standards. She will be remem- bered for not only the manner in which she has so competently performed her duties but for her warm and sincere personality as well. Dale — A cheerful smile and a spirit which is seemingly undaunted by any disturbance have dis- tinguished Patsy as a vivid personality. She has entered into college activities with a 2,ealous en- thusiasm which is reflected by the success she has achieved as vice-president of the Y. W. C. A. The infinite jobs which she has executed have proved her efficiency, and we will not forget the sincerity and modesty which are so distinctly a part of her character. Minetree — Noted for her friendliness and vivac- ity, Betty has truly enlightened four years with service to her class an d college. Her meritorious work as vice-president of the student body proved her efficiency as a leader. Through her four years she has constantly participated in class produc- tions, circuses, and other projects. With a ready laugh and a superb sense of humor, Minnie has encouraged our having a brighter outlook on life. Betty has made an outstanding record and will be remembered by everyone with whom she has come in contact. Hundley — Sue has alleviated four years of col- lege life with her witticisms, her loyalty, and her ingeniousness. Probably her greatest accomplish- ment was editing the 1947 Virginian, and the originality displayed throughout the good book illustrates her creative ability. We were constantly ama2,ed that she fulfilled her duties so promtply since she seemingly possessed an abundance of leis- ure time. A variety of interests has led her to con- tribute her efforts to sports and other activities into which she has entered with her typical vitality and cheerful spirit. May Day rli y ailf niitoru of cotleaey portruued tnrouan dance. HIS year ' s May Day was one which will L-„ L- remembered and treasured by the students, faculty, and alumnae of Farmville. The theme of the pageant was the history of the school: its presidents, its accomplishments, and it progress. A choral speaking group of fifty voices and a singing chorus of one hundred formed the background for the dances, which ranged from modern to folk and court type. The whole May Day may be said to have centered on the following, taken from an annual of past years: Time confirms the fact that schools are built around personalities, and that the spirit of an institution is the composite of the souls of those who have breathed into that institution its very breath of life. These immortal souls live on and shall move on perpetuating the ideals and traditions of the place. And so it was logical to use the presidents of our college as the personalities. The program consisted of four episodes, each portraying the history of the school under one president. Dr. Ruffner was first head to come to Farmville. Through dance, speaking, and singing, the story of his beginning here with only five teachers is told authentically. In small be- ginnings he foresaw great ends; No books, no desks, no chairs but teachers he must have. He sought them far and wide; He asked for labor with small pay. Love and devotion without visible reward. Two from the North, three from the South he found, and so the tiny seed was planted, watered with hope, nurtured with prayer. The first three graduates of our college were portrayed in this episode, in authentic costume. Dr. Ruffner was truly a pioneer, making a miraculous beginning with so few aids, only his burning desire to lay a noble foundat ' on. The episode depicting Dr. Cunningham ' s administration presented a truly great teacher. His inspiring efforts and his struggle for education for the masses were strongly felt. Wise, gentle, humble, courteous He taught us by example to seek better ways. Old customs must be changed, Old trees must fall to make way for new growth. And as the new trees grew, lusty and strong Spring sang and hope put on new robes. A solo dance called The Triangle was outstanding in this episode, as well as the dance called Trees. Dr. Frazer ' s years as president saw much progress in the history of the college. ' ' vVith a rich store of knowledge and experience He sought to train the body and mind. A new gymnasium was built; more students came, More future teachers for our glorious State. And as the numbers grew, they strove to keep A record for the future — our first annual. In this section various organizations and clubs were de- picted, among them the German Club, The Tennis Club, and The Bicyclist. A mass drill called Field Day was given, with the aid of dumb bells and wands. Can we possibly say enough about the episode bringing to us our beloved Dr. Jarman. Many of his characteristics as a friend and leader were brought out individually with dance, speaking, and singing. And a young man came, A builder, An adventure. Not for him the well made paths. The smooth way; He ventured far. He opened new horizons, He built a solid house That will not fall. He put his strength, His spiritual ideals. His faith in youth. His love of song. His warm and friendly spirit Into our minds and hearts. With him we labored and grew strong. The male figure depicted him as a builder. After this part the choir sang What ' s the Matter with Jarman? The choir also sang God of Our Fathers, h ' s favorite song. In memory of his spiritual leadership The Joan Figure appeared while the choir sang Keep on Hoping, telling us that Dr. Jarman is nn inspirer of youth. One of the class songs, Red ' n White, was sung while a group danced a part on archery, and Green ' n White was sung with a dance showing tennis. As with the others. Onward Farmville was sung while a group danced hockey. Then the traditional May Day was told about by the choral speaking groups. This was lovely as the Court, Maid of Honor and the Queen danced at this time. The May Pole was wound in an unusual way, in keeping with a most unusual May Day pageant. The dance Through the Years was near the last, as It helped to terminate the history of our school through the years. I sing of yesterday; I sing of today and tomorrow. With lifted voices we sing the praise of Alma Mater. A firm foundation has been laid, A building strong has risen; The towers soar into the future. With faith and courage we climb upward To the shining towers of our ideal. For us a glorious womanhood. For us a torch to cary on. It was with mixed emotions that everybody joined in the singing of our Alma Mater. This year saw a truly great May Day as we paid tribute to our past presidents — four great men. We are grateful to Miss Emily Kauzlarich for her work, study and interest. Without her aid we would surely never have met success. Our thanks go to Miss Leola Wheeler for her help in the arrangements for the choral speaking.
