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.

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.
