McCorkle iipiiiiiiiilfiiili g 2 A slight figure, smile hri t and gallant, a fragrant cigar - - such is the superficial impression of a friend dear to us. We shall always remember his debonair manner, his generous mind and heart, his friendship and help. He is active in affairs of church and town. He is an expert teacher, the head of the department of chemistry and physics. Tear after year he has arranged our sched ules and directed our commencement exercises. For twenty four years he has been adviser to the staff of the VIRGINIAN. It is with great pleasure that we dedicate our 1948 VIRGmiAH to Mr. T. A.

Never wavering in his wise convictions, never failing us in time of need, never losing faith in us. Dr. Lancaster continued to be our friend and adviser. Dean William W. Savage Dean Martha Smith Smith Though Dean Savage has been with us only a year and a half, his aid and guidance have proved indispensable. He has been adviser to the statf of the Rotunda. Girls go to him for help in making and changing schedules. Without his advice we could never have planned our vocations. We are grateful to Dean Martha Smith Smith for pa- tiently listening to our requests and for granting them when- e ' er possible. Her graciousness and understanding have been an inspiration to us. Dr. J. L. Jarman, 1867 - 1947 Whenever we hear the word cooperation the life and work of Dr. J. L. Jarman flashes to mind. He made the word meaningful in this vicinity. He used it frequently and practiced it con ' stantly. His faith in his fellowman; his be ' lief in cooperation; his loyalty to his friends; his sympathetic understanding of the prob ' lems or shortcomings of others; his wise judgment and sound advice won for him a warm place in the hearts of his immc diate associates and the respect of all those with whom he came in contact. Dr. Jarman was not only an educator, he was first a citizen. Coming to Farm ' ville in 1902 he immediately assumed his role as a progressive citi2,en; in fact, he be came almost an ex ' officio member of the town council so often did he appear to ad ' vocate measures for the progress of the municipality. His vision, his enthusiasm, his constant practice of cooperation in ' spired forward movements of the commu ' nity. During the first world war he led war bond drives; he organi2,ed the Lions Club; he was campaign chairman to raise funds to build the Weyaonke Hotel and the Southside Community Hospital, of which he served as first president. He led the movement to establish a public health de ' partment in the County and he advocated other progressive County activities. Be ' cause of his farsightedness, his faith and his ever present doctrine of cooperation the people of this community were stimu ' lated to achieve almost the impossible. A town and a college cooperated in building one of the best communities in Virginia, under the leadership of Dr. Jarman. His place in education is well known. He directed the development of a small struggling normal school into one of the leading teachers colleges. We Teach To Teach is the motto found on the college seal and to this end was directed Dr. Jar ' man ' s purposes and leadership. He recog ' nized the need for teachers in 1902, a need which barely transcends the need of tO ' day. As president of the college his influ ' ence was multiplied a thousand fold an ' nually and his steadfastness, loyalty, un ' selfish generosity, and spirit of service is reflected in the lives of many thousands of students who as teachers guided the lives of additional thousands of pupils in Virginia ' s schools. A devout Christian, Dr. Jarman exem ' plified a practical religion, applicable to everyday hving, which was probably the keystone of his successful life. He loved his church and served as chairman of the Farmville Methodist church official board for 30 years. A citizen, a friend, an educator. Farm ' ville and the State Teachers College will reflect his life for many years to come and the many thousands of alumnae scattered over several states keep aHve his influence for good after he has entered eternal rest.

You might know that school would refuse to open if it did not rain the first day. But as we were dignified seniors, it did seem that even the weather should show its happiness through beam ' ing sunrays. Nevertheless, the fact remain ' ed that we were at long last SENIORS . . . the goal for which we had been burn ' ing midnight electricity for three years. Knowing that this was our last chance to prove our superior inteUigence, we even visited the library a few days, reading up on parallel and the ten best books. Deter ' mined as we were not to let anything come before our blissful study, we overlooked the minor attraction that extra ' curricular ac tivities held. We met our first Waterloo when AKG announced the date of circus. Books were forgotten, and begging paste ' board boxes and wrapping paper for props became life ' s most important job. With Bebe giving the orders and the wonderful seniors backing her up, ths judges had no choice. The seniors had to win with a show that was fit for Broadway. We didn ' t have to worry about our stu ' dies, for we were only two weeks behind, and it would be simple to catch up. Oops! Seems as if we had forgotten the song con ' test, but Virginia George Gershwin Tin ' dall, a shp of paper, a few notes, fewer words, a piano keyboard, plus a hundred odd lusty voices added up to a winning Red and White pep tune. Though not all the classes shared our enthusiasm, we real ' ly felt good — good enough, in fact, to turn our minds to studying. We were so happy over this good fortune that we knew it couldn ' t be true. It wasn ' t! It was time for senior dance. As we were such an extra ' ordinary class, it seemed only fair that our dance be some ' thing extra. We left the details to Mary Ann, who came through in fine style. We successfully gave the dance in the dining hall minus tables. Back to school after Christmas meant back to exams. We begged our professors for mercy; somehow they had gotten the mistaken idea that we had studied all along. Still our time could not be devoted entirely to study. We were to be capped. We had begun to think the cap and gown factories had been sabotaged. Proudly we donned our gowns and became officially seniors as we were capped by Dr. Lancaster. The days remaining overflowed with plans for the future and odd jobs of the present. Amidst the turmoil we managed to survive and to give our Alma Mater the farewell she so truly deserved. We were not worried. With Miss Dabney, our ad ' viser, and our capable officers, we knew it was impossible to stray from well ' paved paths. So with mingled emotions of sadness and happiness we leave S. T. C. We may not have been her best class, but we have tried.

Biology CORINNE MINES BAKER March 20, 1927 -April 14, 1948 In ' Memoriam The bitterness of our loss of Corinne can only be assuaged by fond memories of her as friend and classmate. As a freshman she danced her way into our hearts — there to stay. Her talents were as numerous as her friends. Quietly assuming re ' sponsibilities, Corinne was dance chairman of the 1948 May Day, president of Orchesis, figure leader of Cotillion Club, and a member of Sigma Sigma Sigma. She will always dance in our hearts as she did in our circuses and productions. The Junior Class i HE building! At last our dream of Sunday morning breakfasts in the kitch ' en, of living in spacious suites, and of reach ' ing the third base before graduation had materalizied. It was quite a large group of girls that Junior Building housed on its three floors. There was the old crowd, although a considerable number did not come back after last year; and then we had new friends to make. The numerous and attrac- tive transfers soon became popular mem- hers of our class. The first thing on the calendar that claimed our attention was the circus with Patti Page as lord and master of our stunt. We cleverly presented for the inspection of the audience five stages of womanhood. Nancy Dickenson was the woman who hilariously dashed from one stage to the next. Well never know how she managed to advance from pig tails to a wedding gown in five minutes. We ' bout busted our buttons with pride as Ringmaster Gallo ' way stepped into the spotlight. The Junior attraction on the court was Betty Tilson. Our competitive spirit ran high as the time rolled around for Color Rush and the round-robin tournaments. We fought val- iantly to retain the green ' n white ribbons on the coveted silver loving cup. And now a brief pause to pay tribute to the leaders of our Class! Violet Ritchie was our peppy and capable president. Her enthusiastic assistants were Martha Gillum, vice-president; Frances DeBerry, secretary; and Margaret Wall, treasurer. Speaking of leaders, we couldn ' t have asked for a bet- ter classman than our own Charlie Hop, who stuck with us through thick and thin. The success of our three years can be attributed to his capable leadership — HFS OUR MAN! The knitting fad took the dorm by storm. That is for everyone but Sugar Baby. Sugar Baby was that naive four- year-old that was created by Galloway for the entertainment of wacky students. Our greatest task for the year was giv- ing the Junior Dance. We carefully plan- ned for and talked about the night, weeks in advance. Posters were up every- where proclaiming the approaching Black and White Valentine BaU. Through the efforts of Betty Jefferson as general chair- man and the cooperation of the whole class, we modestly tagged the ball a huge suc- cess! The lovely ladies who graced the Queen ' s court from the Junior class were Marjorie Miller, Millie Spain, Ruthellen Mears, Margaret Wall, and DoUy Anne Freeman. At the close of the year we solemnly and proudly walked under the arch of sen- ior caps. Next year will find us ready to meet any challenge and anxious to complete our task successfully in our final year of college. We pledge ourselves to give gen- erously of our talents to make our school a better place for our having been here.

WINTON Bedford MARY YOUNG Rice State Teachers College The Sophomore Class Praise ' 50 echoed a cho- rus of lowly rats as Ann Nock with a high and mighty flourish opened rat week. Now at last we had some say in affairs, and truly much was said concerning the su- periority of us sophomores, so much, in fact, that the infirmary was quite busy swabbing throats and administering to the weary. It was all fun. Though our numbers had dwindled over the summer, we carried on in traditional Red and White spirit with Miss Burger as our adviser; Annette Jones, president; Caroline Page, vice-presi- dent; Jackie Eagle, secretary; and E-day Brooks, treasurer. Sophomore halls once more were chim- ing with gaiety. Circus was under way. Al- most before we knew it, Shorty was draw- ing the curtain on Frankie and Roady as Indians in Idaho, and Robbie in Rhode Is- land. Katie shook Alabama around. And, of course, Li2,2,ie in her beard and tails look- ed more like Uncle Sam than he does. Then, of course, so our laughter would never deflate, Carol raked in her numerous free samples, and her sudden and most un- expected visit from the hearing-aid sales- man really iced the cake. We made enough pennies by running the coke machine and chasing coke bottles to keep up our contributions to the World Students Service Fund and the Jarman Or- gan Fund. Clem and the undefeated hockey team kept our colors flying. Christmas with Santa Claus and dia- mond rings pounced upon us and passed us. Grease paint was again slapped on as our ingenious Roady led us in our produc- tion to a Russian Cabaret, an Arabian harem, and the heart of the Belgium Con- go- Exams came close on our heels. Books flew like fury, but the calm soon came. The blondes got our votes for May court as tall, enchanting June Banks, vivacious Caroline Page, and slender, exuberant June Walsh topped the sophomore ballots. The class of ' 50 glittered again with so many representing us and holding high our ideals in the Orchesis Recital, where Rob- bie, Oris, Peggy, Molly, Ray, Anne, Hilda, Nellie, Nock, and June danced circles around us. As the mysterious Alda, Oris Boxley held our attention in the play Death Takes A HoHday. In The Ri- vals Ann Nock as the scheming maid Lucy collected all the kisses, and Betty House as the extremely loquacious and hilarious Mrs. Malaprop collected a most unusual vocabulary. All were enthusiasti- cally applauded. The sophomores also an- nounced and entertained on our radio pro- grams under the direction of Miss Leola Wheeler. We took second place with our The Charleston Sing. Peg, Cab and June did it in expert gay ' 90 manner. We rushed off to work on May Day. Another year has passed thus happily and successfully.

This year we waited longer to dissolve and continued to stand as an or- ganization for a few months longer. The nine of us that came back had so enjoyed our work together last year that we wanted to enjoy it again as long as possible. In the fall we entertained the Freshman Commission at Longwood for the week ' end. We shall never forget the good food, the fireplace, our midnight chatter, and the songs. Miss Camper was a wonderful sport as a chaperon. Although we haven ' t been able to sell food this year, for that wasn ' t our job any longer, we have not forgotten the fun we had doing it last year. With the amount of money we had left in the treasury we helped all the campaigns and drives here on the campus. Ann Nock led us again as president and Carohne Page as vice-president. Since our other officers didn ' t return to school, they took over their duties also. State Teachers College The Freshman Class l .T last, we the freshmen, had arrived in Farmville. As we trudged up the walk to the Rotunda, we were frightened, bewildered, and slightly wet. Later we found that rain the day school opens is S. T. C. tradition. However, friendly Y. W. C. A. girls took us in hand when we entered the Rotunda. They explained the process of matriculation, which at first sounded dreadful, assigned us to our rooms, and answered countless questions. When we entered the bare rooms, we wondered how it was possible to give them a homelike atmosphere. Soon our room ' mates came in, and we became acquainted while discussing who would possess which bed. In a short time our rooms had gained many of the co2;y qualities of home by the addition of scarves, pictures, curtains, and pennants. That night our sister class, the Juniors, gave us a party in the rec. Friendliness warmed our hearts. We soon discovered that the girl on our right knew our brother at Tech, and the girl on our left was a cousin of a friend at home. The friendHness of that first night lingered, and it was not long before we became accustomed to S. T. c. When everyone was acquainted, hilari ' ous pranks flourished. Never will we forget the night on Whitehouse when several un ' suspecting girls were locked in the big wastC ' baskets. We had our rat week. Hounded, tired rats flattened on the floor when air raid was heard. We even bunched like grapes and scrambled like eggs. We trembled on our way to Big Rat Court, where Betsy Gravely was pro- claimed best rat. Our days of tribulation were over, and we felt fully initiated into S. T. C. In October we elected Dr. Brumfield our class adviser. He proved indispensable in solving our problems. With him and our class officers to guide us, we knew we would sail through. Our first participation in college activi ' ties was the presentation of The Country Store as our circus stunt with Jean Gil ' man directing. When we learned we had placed second, our faces beamed with pride. In February Nancy Gillie was director of our Sing, which was a typical postoffice scene. In March we presented our produc tion, The Seasons. Betsy Gravely was our chairman, and she and her committees worked hard preparing for it and directing it. It was a success. May rolled around before we could be ' lieve it. We were proud of our beauties on May Court: Carolyn, Charlotte, and Fran- ces. Then with hasty studying for final ex ' aminations, we ended the year. It was a sad time, but a happy one too at the thoughts of next year as sophomores. The Freshman Class OFFICERS Jean Jones -....

It was fun, although we had our ups and downs. Naturally, we took the profits and added them to our bank ac count to use for various reasons: namely, University Christian Mission, Jarman Or- gan Fund, and World Student Service Fund. We decided to save the remaining portion for next year ' s freshman commis ' sion. Christmas rolled around before we re- alised it. Being a supporting branch of the Y, we found ourselves busily decorating the tree and hanging the green in the Rotunda. For the first time the Freshman Commission sponsored intermission parties in the rec. Although we had to hike up and down the hill sometimes twice a day with our arms loaded down with boxes of food, it has been fun, and we will never forget it. We hope next year ' s Commission will have as much fun as we have had. We will see you next year! W ' m ' it-!;!

ACTIVITIES iMMMMMi MiMmMiMSr i M JViUCH of the success we may attain in the future can be attributed to the inspiration and training received from our varied organi a ' tions. Whether serving as an active member of our clubs and honor societies or working on our respective publications, an S. T. C. girl finds an outlet for all extra ' curricular energy. ORGAHI TIOJiS Officers, left to right: GiUum, treasurer; Watts, secretary; Minton, vice-president; Overby, president House Council J. HIS year some very definite changes and improvements were made in the House Council. Two call downs were all that were necessary for a week ' s campus. The strict study hour was something new to us all; however, with the help of the house mothers, hall presidents, and student body, we feel that we were successful in enforcing it. Organiz ations Student Government Association Officers, left to right: Fox, secretary; Bobbitt, treasurer; Winn, presi- dent; J. Bentley, vice-president OINCE the Student Government Association is an organi2,ation of the stu ' dent body as a whole, it has been our sin- cere desire, as members of the council, to make each student aware of her responsi- bility. The purposes of this organi2;ation are to make each student a part of our gov erning body. To help train each student in responsibility, self-reliance, honor, and loy- alty has been the objective of the council members. Under the guidance of our offi- cers we hope that this year has been suc- cessful. After the orientation classes held in Sep- tember under the direction of Jeane Bent- ley, each freshman and new girl pledged herself to the standards of the college by signing the Honor Code. At a meeting of the student body, short- ly after the beginning of school, Dr. Moss was re-elected our adviser. It was under his helpful guidance that our members were Student Government Association assured the cooperation of the students. The officers of the year were Tucker Winn, president; Jeane Bentley, vice-president; Jane Fox, secretary; Jackie Bobbitt, treas ' urer; and Eleanor Overby, House Council president. Virginia Tindall and Jane Bur- chett, who were the ex ' officio members, and eight class representatives made up the StU ' dent Council. Our activities for the year were varied, but we started with the usual birthday banquet in honor of Dr. Lancaster. Of course, there was the usual ushering at the lyceums in our conventional black skirts and white blouses. Christmas came before we reali2,ed it, with the favors to be made for the 850 students and guests. One week after Christmas hoHdays, we gave our second annual dance. Although this wasn ' t as big a success as we expected, it was a merry way to begin the new year. We, the council members, feel that this year has been a successful one. It is our hope that the student body has had con- iidence in our dealing with punishment. We have tried to conform to the ethics of former council members. Standing: Patterson, Dodson, M.

Friday night we gave a Big Sister ' Little Sister reception in Student Lounge, at which all the little sisters met the faculty and upper classmen. October brought the very impressive formal installation of the freshmen into the Y. We also went to Longwood in OctO ' ber for our annual Fall Retreat, at which all cabinet members and advisers were pres- ent. The topic chosen for the year was Facing Today with Christ, and it was around this theme that we planned our year ' s work. In December our president presented a Bible, a gift from the Y, in chapel to Dr. Lancaster to be used on the stage. We also enjoyed our annual Christmas spa- ghetti supper in the Y lounge. The Y also tried to help the students obtain a full ' er meaning of the Christmas spirit by hav ' ing prayers centered around the Christmas theme, by conducting the traditional Hanging of the Green, and by present ' ing the Christmas pageant, followed by White Christmas in which each organiza ' The Y. W. C. A. tion on the campus brought contributions for those in need. In February, Religious Emphasis Week took place. Each organi2;ation participated in the planning of it this year, but our presi ' dent acted as general chairman. Four out ' standing speakers were on the campus, sent to us from the University Christian Mis- sions in New York. These speakers held seminars, held bull sessions, and talked to us in chapel. The general theme for the week was Christianity and Your Prob- lems. In March our World Student Service Fund was a big success, and we missed our thousand dollar goal only by a few dol ' lars. The Y was also responsible during the year for prayers being held each night after dinner in the auditorium, for bringing a fall and a spring speaker to the campus, for adding the bookcases in the Y lounge, for visiting the sick and giving baskets to the needy, and for clothing children of poor families. We ' ve really enjoyed working together this year. Our president deserves much of the credit for the success of the whole year ' s program. Seated: Jordan, J. Cregar, Winn, McMullen, J.

Grizzard, Verser , Rushing 03 State Teachers College Organi2;ations The Virginian Overpowered with the thought of an early start on the 1948 Vir- ginian, we hustled around in the spring of H7 persuading students to don a sophis- ticated air for a glamorous pose. We kept the photographers busy taking the individ- ual pictures. We then racked our brains trying to think of an appropriate theme. Late one afternoon inspiration came! Sue and Hoot dashed to Mr. Mac and the staff for their approval. The next week the en- graver arrived, and after we had explained Left to right: Mr. McCorkle, ad- viser; East, managing editor; H. Abernathy, business manager; N. Chambers, editor our plans to him, the dummy was born. In September the photographer return- ed, and the remainder of the individual pic- tures were taken. A few weeks later classes were interrupted as students dashed about the campus for the group pictures. The engraver ' s arrival to complete the page-sequence plan brought new difficulties. However, with Mr. Mac ' s wise suggestions we were able to cut pages in some places in order that space might be added to the book on other pages. The Virginian The color of the cover was finally chosen, and the art staff, with Miss Bedford ' s as ' sistance, designed a cover. After we de ' cided on the dedication, we worked whole ' heartedly canvassing the halls for subscrip ' tions and spending every spare moment un ' til Christmas numbering, trimming, and mounting pictures. Immediately after the holidays, we measured type so that articles could be as ' signed to all organi2,ations. Upon receipt of a letter from the printer, we were faced with, as Mr. Mac says, ' ' the whole prob ' lem — that of getting articles written and typed, the printer ' s dummy drawn, and all material in The Virginian mailed to the printer a week earlier than we had planned. Miss Foster and Lela worked diHgently cor- recting the articles. The staff met in the lab during the day and in Hoot ' s room at night, and within a week the work was completed. Eagerly and impatiently the student body waited — and waited — for the books to arrive. We then realized fully the fun we had had producing the 1948 Vir ' GINIAN. Seated, left to right: M.

Then we got a short breathing spell on Wednesday before starting on the next edition. As we look back on our year ' s work, we can laugh about the few times we contemplated murder to get enough news to fill the paper.

Betty Nachman combed the campus for news, and Jackie Eagle could always suggest a good feature source. Betty Burchett served as our sports news editor; Lela Bouldin, as our social editor. Betty Minton snapped her shutter many times to provide pictures for the paper. Mary Davis served as head of the typists. Martha Frances Morrison and her proofreaders faithfully checked the galleys for mistakes. Virginia Bailey The Rotunda and the circulation department folded the papers and mailed them. The Rotunda staff was most fortunate in securing Dean William W. Savage as our adviser this year. We can never thank him enough for his wise advice, his willing- ness to help, and his interest. We derived new enthusiasm from him, and to him must be given whatever praise the paper has re ' ceived. We could not have met our publica- tion dates without the willing and helpful assistance of Harry and the staff of the Farmville Herald. They worked with us constantly to improve our paper. In October Mary and Betty journeyed to Minneapolis to attend the Associated Collegiate Press Convention and brought back some new ideas. They also attended the Virginia Intercollegiate Press meeting in October at the University of Richmond. We were proud when Mary was elected vice-president of the group. We sincerely hope the student body was pleased with our work this year. If so, we feel that we achieved our purpose in faith- fully recording the weekly events of S. T. c.

But we can ' t say that it wasn ' t worth the effort. Every hurried hour was enjoy able. Anne Motley, Jean Cake, and Katie Lawrence formed the triumvirate that sat in the driver ' s seat. Mr. Grainger, Miss Jen- nings, and Mr. Coyner did the back ' seat driving. But the rest of the staff didn ' t just go along for the ride. They were the hard working girls who wrote stories, composed poems, dreamed up jokes, drew sketches, typed copy, and read proof. We couldn ' t have done without a single one of them. We ' d like to commend especially Mary Rattray, Eula Ayres, Betty Spindler, Jacky Eagle, and Jeane Bentley for outstanding work. While we ' re tossing bouquets, a spe- cial one goes to Harry for smoothing out kinks and — just for being Harry. Did anyone mention money? Inflation and unwise spending caught up with us this year. It was necessary to cut expenses; the only solution was to do away with one complete issue. Maybe you hadn ' t missed it, but in case you did, we ' d like to explain. All year we cut corners and now that we have erased the red ink from Miss Hiner ' s books, we are looking for the best Colon ' nade ever next year. 98 Student Standards J. HE Student Standards Commit ' tee faced the new year ' s work with many old problems to be solved and new ones to be worked out. Working as a coordination department between the faculty, the ad ' ministration, and the student body, we strove to improve the general condition of the school. Jean Babb, Chairman of the Calendar of School Events, and Evelyn Patterson, her assistant, worked with us to arrange student meetings so there would be no conflicts with the college schedule. With Peggy Cabaniss as our chairman, we accomphshed multiple duties. The point system was kept running smoothly so that no person carried more extra ' curricular ac ' tivities than she was allowed. Our efforts were concentrated on an im ' proved study hour, better lighting condi ' tions in the hbrary and in front of Cun ' ningham Hall, and improvement of the walks and steps. A renewed effort was made to improve the general appearance of the school by keeping the rec more or ' derly and suggesting that the statue of Joan of Arc be reconditioned. A course in parhamentary law was arranged to be given in the spring by Dr. Walmsley, to all incoming officers. Seated, left to right: Livesay, J. Ritchie, Chambers, Weatherford, Roady, Bragg, A.

When school opened, the Joan Circle of Alpha Kappa Gamma was composed of Jeane Bentley, president; Nancy Chambers, vice ' president; Louise Brooks, secretary; Tucker Winn, treasurer; Virginia Tindall, Mary Helmer, and C harlotte Gri2,2iard. Miss Mary Dabney, Miss EHzabeth Burger, and Miss Caroline Eason were elected our advisers. This year we tapped Hillda Abernathy, Jane Burchett, Laura Jean Comerford, Beatrice Geyer, Violet Ritchie, Martha Gillum, and Jesse Lee Pickett. Our annual circus, under the leadership of Charlotte Gri2;2;ard, was held on OctO ' ber 25, with a Southern Plantation theme. Queen of the Southern Bells was George Anne Lewis. Attending her in the court were Betty Tilson, Jeanne Dunn, and Jean Jones. The ringmaster was Ann Galloway. The annual Alpha Kappa Gamma na- tional convention was held at Queens Col ' lege, Charlotte, North Carolina in October. Representatives from the Joan Circle were Jeane Bentley, Mary Helmer, and Violet Ritchie. We shall not forget the spirit of unseL fish service and cooperation. If, in any way, anywhere, we may help to develop charac ' ter and leadership, we shall be true to the ideals of Alpha Kappa Gamma. Kappa Delta Pi JvAPPA Delta Pi is a national honor society in education with 141 active chapters. In 1918, it began on our campus as Pi Kappa Omega and changed to the Beta Epsilon chapter of Kappa Delta Pi in 1928. It recogni2,es scholarship and out ' standing service in the field of education and seeks to promote fellowship among the members. The highlight of the year came in De ' cember when we had our annual Christ ' mas banquet in the college Tea Room. Our programs have consisted of a music recital by Mr. Wakefield, an art exhibit by Mrs. Janice Lemen, and an exhibit and a talk on the customs of China by Miss Ann Buck. On April 8, Beta Epsilon Chapter cele- brated its thirtieth anniversary. Mr. Vir- ginius Dabney, editor of the Richmond Times Dispatch, was our guest speaker in chapel. A tea was held in the Student Lounge for members, for the faculty, and for freshmen and sophomores who ranked in the upper quartile of their classes. We enjoyed a most profitable year under the guidance of our officers, Charlotte Griz,- 7;ard, president; Ella Stone Smith, vice-pres ' ident; Betty Bondurant, secretary; Marian Hahn, treasurer; and Harriette Sutherhn, historian. Miss Pauline Camper was our most cherished guide throughout the year. Seated on floor, left to right: Winn, Ballance, Watson, Bobbitt, Tindall, H.

Those recogni7,ed were Betty Bondurant, Adelaide Coble, Violet Ritchie, Jeanne Tol ' ley, and Jackie Watson. Ann Buck, who returned from a year ' s work in China last fall, spoke to us at our November meeting concerning China ' s customs and her own experiences. In Feb ' ruary we sponsored the visit of Rabbi Leo Lictenberg here on our campus. He en ' hghtened us on What Christianity and Judaism Have in Common. Ann Motley represented our chapter at a state conference at Sweet Briar in March. The general theme was The Role of the Colleges in Promoting Peace Through In ' ternational Understanding. Ann brought back splendid reports from the conference. This year Dr. James ElHot Walmsley re tired from his teaching position here at S. T. C. and so with it, from his sponsorship of Pi Gamma Mu. Late in the spring we honored him with a banquet. He has meant more to us than any feeble pen can ex ' press. He always gave us inspiration and always listened to our petty problems. Well miss him in college, but his wonder ' ful influence on our lives will be lasting. Beorc Eh Thorn BeORC Eh Thorn, the EngHsh honor society on our campus, derives its name from the three Old Enghsh rune let ' ters, Beorc Eh Thorn, which symboli2,e to its members the study of literature, the in- spiration of creative writing, and the dis- cipline necessary to achieve literary expres- sion. This year we chose Irish literature as our theme for study. Our November program consisted of an informal talk by Mrs. Wyatt LeGrand about Seumas MacManus. We were espe- cially delighted and fortunate to have this distinguished Irish poet and story-teller on cur campus in December. Other programs consisted of book reviews and talks on Irish literature, by the students. Our April meet- ing was devoted to the reading of original writings by the members of the organiza- tion. The officers were as follows: Mildred Davis, president; Anne East, vice-presi- dent: Edna Earle Waters, recording secre- tary; Catherine Hogge, corresponding sec- retary; Lucie Addleman, treasurer; and Betty Bondurant, historian.

The Christmas party was a success, giving us a chance to know one another better. Founder ' s Day had us stepping, but we thoroughly enjoyed it. The usual inquiry, Who was your Mother? was more fre- quent than ever because so many alumnae returned. Thanks to our capable officers, we feel this year has been a memorable one.

We, junior and senior elementary majors who are called Aces, have been led by Gertrude Driver as our capable president. Our purposes were the advancement of our profession by molding better teachers and the betterment of childhood education. Our Christmas party was held in Stu- dent Lounge. As we sang and ate, we work ' ed on toys and clothing to be sent to an un- derprivileged family. In good A. C. E. tra- dition, Miss Mix told us a Christmas story. The visiting teacher of Prince Edward County spoke to us in January. Her case- studies were most interesting. Assisting Gertrude were Ethel Harrison, vice-president; Betty Renn, secretary; and June Poole, treasurer. Miss Alice Carter was our friend and adviser. Future Teachers of America JL HE J. L. Jarman Chapter of the Future Teachers of America concentrated its efforts this fall on building up its meiri ' bership. National Educational Week was ob- served by the College. One of the repre- sentatives from the Virginia Education As- sociation was in charge of a chapel pro- gram. In the spring we sponsored our annual election for the best prospective teacher from the freshman and sophomore classes and from the various curriculum groups of the junior class. As before, the Rotary Club was sponsor of this election and paid the dues of those elected. Also plans were made and discussed for a conference of seniors with superintendents from various coun- ties throughout the state. The Future Teachers of America seeks to extend interest in professional leader- ship, to extend the understanding of the activities and service of the National Edu- cation Association, to study the traditions and practices of the teaching profession, and to develop in the members those pow- ers and quahties recognized as desirable as- sets of the professional teacher. The officers this year were Nancy Hughes, president; Wilda Hunt, secretary; Peggy West, treasurer; Mary E. Parham, librarian; and Dr. Wynne, our ever-faith- ful counselor.

The enthusiasm from that experience seemed to imbue itself in us. The outstanding event of our club year was our annual Christmas Fiesta, given with the French Club. Following the lead of our Puerto Rican girls, we strove for authenticity. Griswold Boxley and Martha Smith portrayed the eager anticipation of two Puerto Rican children on the eve of the coming of the three kings. From our excitement at witnessing an amateur per ' formance of a bullfight, we can hardly ima ' gine the thrills at a real bullfight. We are proud of our Spanish spirit. Muchas gracias has practically taken the place of our thank you, and there is always a friendly Hola, senorita from a fellow student. We have added some Puerto Rican song hits to our repertoire — two of them being Qui2;as, Qui2;as, Qui2;as and Siboney. In the official positions were Martha Anderson, president; Grace Kappes, vice ' president; Martha Hatcher, secretary; Helen Kaknis, treasurer; Margaret Beaz; ' ley, reporter; and Dalila Agostini, program chairman. Miss Barksdale and Miss Draper were our faithful and encouraging advisers. 108 Le Cercle Francais W E may justifiably say that we have progressed this year in our combined effort to become better acquainted with the French language and culture. In our month ' ly meetings we have discussed French art and literature, studied the life of the S. T. C. patron saint, Joan of Arc, enacted skits in French, seen French movies, danced French folk dances, sung French folk songs and played French games. Our year ' s calendar took on a particular ' ly merry aspect when le Cercle Francais joined forces with El Club Espanol for the annual Christmas fiesta. Through this we were brought to a broader understanding of our neighbors across the Atlantic and to a clearer, more fluent pronunciation of their language. We should never have been able to carry out these projects without the guidance of Miss Helen Draper and the exchange stu ' dents from France; Miles. Laurette Veza and Helene Capp. Vivacious Laurette was the epitome of the French joie de vivre, and it was with great reluctance that we bade her au revoir when she was called home to Lyon. But we had our coup de bonheur when Miss Draper found Helene to replace Laurette. Brittanyborn Helene, in spite of her petite stature, proved capable of shouldering the large task of advising and helping us. Front row, left to right; G. Smith, J.

Grey Dramatic Club W HILE the departments of the Dramatic Club were getting organized, and the apprentices were hard at work, we began work on the fall play. What prob- lems we had to cope with! How to make dead leaves fall naturally, where to find Chinese tapestries, how to make shadows cross the garden, and how to turn Smith- ers ' face into ' ' Death with green lights. Finally all worked out to perfection, and Alberto Casella ' s Death Takes a Holiday was successfully presented by the S. T. C. Dramatic Club and the Hampden-Sydney Jongleurs on November 14, 1947. Later in the fall, we were hostesses to the participants of a Speech Clinic which was sponsored by the University of Virginia. A Drama Clinic was also held here in January for the benefit of dramatic teachers in the nearby high schools. The Rivals was our choice for the spring production, which was presented on Founders week-end. The beautiful cos- tumes and make-up, and the unusual stag- ing and hghting made this eighteenth-cen- tury comedy interesting and challenging to work on. March came, and the high schools trooped to S. T. C. to take part in the one- act play contest. Our contest was held in cooperation with the state-wide High School League, a project of the University of Virginia. Dramatic Club The monthly meetings of the club featured one-act plays given by the acting group and programs sponsored by the va- rious other departments. Our year ended with the impressive initiation of the loyal apprentices. The backbone, sometimes knou ' n as the executive board, had as its leader, Jean Cake. Her assistants were vice-presidents Betty House and Gwen Cress; secretary, Frances Livesay, and Dolly Ann Freeman, treasurer and business manager. The di- recting of the acting group was shared by Ann Nock and Griswold Boxley; the stag- ing department functioned under Neva Brankley, Jean Watts, and Helen Hardin, in turn. The Make-up department boasted Mitty Hahn; the hghting, Jane Grey. The costumers were guided by the talents of Betty Jane Brockway, and Betty Renn and Barbara Andrews hunted properties. Miss Leola Wheeler was our adviser and teacher. In her encouragement lay our strength. It is the desire of the Dramatic Club, first, to train every member in all phases of play production so that her value as a teach- er may be increased by her ability to coach amateur performances in her elementary or high school; and second, to stimulate a greater interest in dramatics, both in the schools and in the community.

In 1938, the club was organized with Mr. R. H. French, Charlie Hop, as adviser. The aim of the club is to promote friend ' ly and social relationships within the club and college. This year we did this by get ' ting all the old and new girls together through our various meetings and parties. Each new girl from the Northern Neck was invited to join and was initiated into the club. We tried to help our new girls through those first few hard weeks so that they would soon realize the real Farmville spirit and become an actual part of the club and S. T. C. Another aim is to encourage high school girls to come to Farmville. The main event of the year was the oys ' ter roast held at Farnham during the Christ ' mas holidays. All the old members of the club who are out of school were invited, and there was fun for all. Our officers this year were Lela Bouldin, president; Azeele Hutt, vicc ' president; Mary Lou Wilson, secretary ' treasurer; Betty Rowe, reporter. Our one and only Charlie Hop was our adviser. Eastern Shore Club X HE hardest thing an Eastern Shore girl has to do is to leave that lovely strip of land in September and return to college. However, each of us would have bitterly resented being unable to come to S. T. C. After the first meeting, led by our presi- dent, Joanne Sterling, there seemed to be a new spirit of enthusiasm. We, with the cooperation of the Eastern Shore Alumnae Chapter, made arrangements to present a program on the Shore during the Christ- mas holidays; the proceeds were to help an incoming freshman next fall. Before we knew it, each club girl blossomed into an actress. From the show we succeeded in raising a small scholarship for a future Eastern Shore freshman. Many Eastern Shore girls enter Farm- ville without knowing one another. It is our purpose to create a friendly atmosphere among all the girls and through these con- tacts, help each girl to get to know the other better. Without the cooperation of all the members, such leaders as Joanne, Lou Mears, Anne Nock, and Jane Taylor would not have been able to carry on their duties as officers. To our faithful adviser. Miss Craddock, go our thanks for doing such a grand job. Front row, left to right: Gardner, Nock, N. Watts, Goffigan, J. Taylor, Black Second row: N. Rushing, Savage, E. Scott, Sterling, L. Mears, E.

Bobbitt, secretary Commercial Club Organized in 1939, the Com- mercial Club has for its purposes to give students in the Business Education De- partment a more specific knowledge of the various opportunities in the business field and to further their interests in this re spect. It also provides social gatherings for the promotion of fellowship among the members. In November, we showed a very amus ' ing but educational film, I Want A Job. This was attended not only by our mem- bers but also by some of the freshmen who were later to become members. The high ' light of the year came when we initiated thirtyfive new members after Christmas. This was followed by a coke and Nab party in Senior Rec. In February, the sen- iors gave a very entertaining quiz, program. Programs were furnis hed by the other classes at the next meetings. Leading the activities of the club for 1947-48 were the following: Wilda Hunt, president; Janie Fox, vice-president; Jac- queline Bobbitt, secretary; Marjorie Bos- wick, treasurer; and Margaret Jones, re- porter. Home Economics Club L HE Home Economics Club with Miss Tupper as faculty adviser, was under the direction of the following ofh ' cers: Gwendolyn Cress, president; Con ' stance Newman, vice-president; Frances Farley, secretary; Nancy Hughes, treasurer, and Frances Treakle, puWicity manager. For our November and December meet ' ings we had bedtime parties. We discussed business as we enjoyed our refreshments. In January Mr. Pines, from a furniture store here, gave a demonstration on hght ' ing in the home. In the spring we had a most interesting demonstration on differ ' ent arrangements of garden flowers. For cur March meeting it was our pleasure to have Dr. Simkins to speak on his latest book, The South Old and New. The big events for April were two style shows and an April Fool party. The handsome suits made by the senior and junior tail- oring class were displayed. The other style show was given by the Simphcity Pattern Company with our girls as models. It has been our object to have variety in our meetings, which made them interest ' ing, profitable, and enjoyable. Front row, left to right: Treakle, Cress, C. Newman, Farley, N.

Wesley Foundation OAY, what ' s all this? One sign says RECREATION ROOM; one sign says LOUNGE; another says SNACK BAR; and a fourth says OFFICE. Every Methodist girl on the S. T. C. campus has become familiar with the Wesley Founda- tion Student Center. Ruth Ann Bailey, the Wesley Founda- tion Director, took over her duties last fall. Besides some form of recreation every Sat ' urday evening and Wesley Foundation worship services every Sunday evening, the Center has been officially open from 2:00 to 6:00 P. M. every afternoon and by ap ' pointment in the mornings. Student Conferences were a highly em- phasi2;ed part of the part. Students attended conferences at Natural Bridge, Mary Washington College, Roslyn, the Univer- sity of Virginia, William and Mary Col- lege, Winston-Salem, and in March there was a State-wide Conference on our cam- pus. A very great emphasis has been placed on better worship services for the students. Special speakers, such as foreign students, visiting ministers, missionaries, and local faculty, have been on the agenda. The officers were Laura Jean Crawford, president; George Henley, 1st vice-presi- dent; Juanita Weeks, 2nd vice-president; Nelly Cordero, secretary; and BiUie Mul- lins, treasurer, and Rev. A. McK.

We greeted our new student secretary, Chris Flint, who became our counselor, adviser, and friend. Plans were formulated to make this year the best yet for B. S. U. A good start was made with the Enlistment Week and Join ' the ' Church Day when students were enlisted in one of our unit organi2,ations, and many joined the Farmville Baptist Church. We had a record attendance in Sunday School; our college Training Union helped to start Junior and Intermediate Unions; our Y. W. A. gained new missionary 2,eal from the visits of returned missionaries of Africa and China. We strove to become effective Christians in our Master ' s Minority Move ' ment. In November came the Virginia B. S. U. Convention in Winchester, the Thanks ' giving Sunrise Service, and the making of small sacrifices for the Lottie Moon Christ ' mas offering. We started the new year with Vocational Emphasis Week, reverently and sincerely seeking guidance. This year, for the first time in the history of Farm ' ville, we had a Youth Revival. Neal Ellis was our speaker; Dub Lane was our song leader. In April we went to the spring retreat in Waynesboro. How thrilled we were to see Dr. Chester Swor and Bob Denny! We closed the year with our local spring retreat and the installation of new officers. Newman Club Beginning its fifth year on campus, the Newman Club formulated its plans through the guidance of Father Mc Carthy. An invitation to all new Catholic girls was extended by the president, Jeane Bentley, and viccpresident, Mary Miller. Mary Ellen Moore was elected secretary; Regina Smith, treasurer, to fill the existing vacancies. Father McCarthy came to the college on alternate Wednesdays. The Hampden- Sydney boys added much to the interest of our discussion groups. Round ' table discussions on questions which had arisen in regard to our religion here held often. The Mysteries of the Mass and points on the history of the church were also topics of discussion. The Newman Club of Blackstone met with us at Crewe several times. Then, too, we were invited to Crewe by Father Mc Carthy and Father Eilerman for a good din ' ner and a good time on Sunday afternoons. Father Eilerman was transferred from our parish and though we were all sorry to see him go we were happy that he received the opportunity for advancement. We gathered with other Newman Clubs in Richmond and learned new ideas and contributed to the learning of the others. We concluded this year with a dinner at Father McCarthy ' s house in Crewe.

The circle at our weekly meeting grew larger and larger as we met for prayer, Bible study, singing and fellow ship. This year we studied the Gospel of John. Each morning we had our Daily Prayer Circle and prayed for our campus, for the work in the state, the Southland, and the world. We received much strength from meeting each day for prayer. We are grateful for the help and inspir ' ation which we gained from the visits of Anne Childs, our IVCF Staff Worker for this area, and from our friend. Dr. Turner of South Hill. The girls from our campus who attended the conferences in Georgia received strength and inspiration. They were able to inspire our group to higher heights. Many months we looked forward to the Virginia-North Carolina IVCF Con- ference. In March it came. Having felt His power and His Spirit at the conference, we were inspired to prove that Christ is all-sufficient in our own life, in our group, and in our campus. The College Choir M. uANY new girls were thrilled when in September they were asked to be ' come members of the College Choir. From that day the old and new girls started working for a real purpose : we were going to VPI in November to sing The Holy City. Finally, after many hours of hard work, we went to Tech and sang be ' fore twenty ' eight hundred people. The following Sunday we went to Rich ' mond and repeated the oratorio at Grace Covenant Presbyterian Church. We dedi ' cated our program to the memory of our beloved president emeritus, Dr. J. L. Jar ' man. The days went quickly by. The next thing we knew, it was time for our annual Christmas concert. We shall never forget how lovely the stage looked, and we owe our gratitude to a lovely lady who moth ' ered us all, the late Mrs. C. W. Crawley. We repeated the program the following evening at Hampden ' Sydney. We sang Haydn ' s Creation in May. Mr. Crawley patiently worked with us. At first it seemed an impossible venture. From the first rehearsal in March until the time we sang the last note, we had high hopes and aspirations and gloried in our achieve ' ments. ' -= 5.3 Hfl NM« Jk n U U U H M U . :i -.. .; ' .

We spent many hours working out the difficult counterpoint of Madrigals, and then re- joicing when we had mastered it. During the year we sang many times over WFLO for the S. T. C. Hour. Our trips to V. P. I. and Richmond were quite a thrill. At Christmas time we set the Christmas spirit at the annual yuletide ban- quet in the Dining Room. Also, in Decem- ber we sang for the Women ' s Clubs of Farmville. They seemed to enjoy our own arrangement of Silent Night. We were especially pleased with the way we did Crystal Night and While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks. In March we re- corded our arrangement of the Alma Mater which was to be used on the S. T. C. Hour. On March 17 we sang before a group of 200 high school students who as- sembled in the auditorium. To show these students the types of songs we sang, we did a light madrigal, a sacred one, and a rather melancholy one. At commencement, we tearfully sang together for the last time. This brought to a close one of the happiest and best years the Madrigals have ever had. Choral Club yxFTER signing up and trying out to become members of Choral Club, we went through the excitement of learning the beautiful Holy City with the Glee Club. At first we felt a little inferior, but very soon became more confident under the capable direction of Mr. Ned Crawley. Officers were elected as follows: Jean Jones, president; Betty Tilson, vicc ' presi ' dent; Nancy Jessee, secretary-treasurer. Rehearsals were set for Monday and Wed ' nesday afternoons. We eagerly looked for- ward to joining our S. T. C. Glee Club and the Hampden- Sydney Glee Club in present- ing The Holy City at V. P. I. and in Grace Covenant Church at Richmond in November. During the Christmas Concerts we sang parts from the Holy City in addition to Christmas Carols with both Glee Clubs. As soon as Christmas was over, rehearsals be- gan for the Easter Concert, and plans were also made for the presentation of the Ora- torio of the Creation in May. When the year ended, we Choral Club members felt we had gained a great deal through the inspirational leadership of Mr. Crawley, and also through the recreation and entertainment offered at the close of concerts.

Chi was established in 1900 as a secret organi2,ation for the purpose of aiding the governing bodies of the college in main ' taining and promoting the traditions pecu ' liar to Farmville. We know that many have wondered who we were. It was through the secrecy of the organization that we were able to accomplish our purposes most ef ' fectively. In endeavoring to keep alive the spirit of our college ' s patron saint, Joan of Arc, we undertook the project of giving her the new look. This was done through the efforts of the former members and the pres ' ent members of Chi, who were anxious to preserve the symbol of our college. To its members, Chi is more than an or- gani2,ation; it is a spirit as old as the school, a friendly but critical spirit. Chi wishes to express sincere thanks to Miss Olive Her and to Mr. Raymond French. Indeed, they helped us effectively, cordially. We are grateful to Dr. Lancas- ter; he backed us in our activities when we were critici2;ed. Those of us who graduate this year are the following: Alice Ann Abernathy, Julia Booher, Betty Burchett, Jane Burchett, George Ann Lewis, Eleanor Overbey, Tucker Winn, and Virginia Yonce. 124 Who ' s Who Seated, left to right: Helmer, Tindall, J.

State Teachers College V HEERING, singing, waving banners of red and white or green and white, and danc ing with vigorous enthusiasm are all synonomous with the Farmville spirit when the varsity teams or the class teams participate in sports. Yet the quiet elements of unity, cooperation, and good sportsmanship are even more a part of what our training in athletics has meant to us. ATHLEriCS Seated, left to right: A. Abernathy, J.

State Teachers College Athletics Officers, left to right: Miss Her, adviser; Dickinson, treasurer; B. Burchett, secretary; J. Burchett, president; Morris, vice-president Athletic Association T the beginning of the year, we presented a Sports Demonstration for freshmen and new girls. The purpose of this was to show them the various sports on campus. We first prepared for the annual class hockey and tennis games. Everyone went out for these enthusiastically. At last the final games took place amid much excite ' ment. The seniors and juniors tied while the sophs beat the frosh. As a result of the game, the frosh kept their rat caps on until Christmas. Red ' n white captured the swimming contest. This year we introduced a new event to the school. It was a Play Day for the high schools in Southside Virginia. The varsity players gave a program to the visit- ing schools. The various schools partici ' pated in the sports which were offered. Jesse Pickett was in charge of this. The A. A. was represented at Madi ' son College in March at a meeting to form a State Athletic Federation of College Women. The trip of the year for the var- sity basketball team was to New York. They tied Panzer and beat Hofstra Colleges. Athletic Association From all reports, they had a wonderful time. The team played four schools in our gym and only lost one game. The volleyball and basketball games were next on our list. All classes entered into the contest. With spring came golf, tennis, and archery. Nev ' er a day went by that someone wasn ' t en ' gaging in one of these sports. The A. A. had a most successful year, and without the faithful services of Miss Her, it never could have been done. The success of the year was also due to the council and to the officers: Jane Burchett, president; Mary Ann Morris, viccpresi- dent; Betty Burchett, secretary; and Helen Londeree, treasurer.

State Teachers College Athletics X HE Monogram Club ' s main purpose is to stimulate interest in sports and to recognize athletic ability, scholarship, and sportsmanship. Only those girls who we think are furthering the purpose are considered for membership in this organi ' 2;ation. Just before Color Rush we were busy making red and green hockey sticks to sell to the classes for the races and hockey games. Circus found us in our booth with the huge Grab ' Bag and Bingo, under the management of Betty Minton. The booth sported the colors of blue and white Monogram Club Left, front to back: B. Burchett, Bentley, Geycr, Sterling, Minton Right, front to back: A. Abernathy, J. Burchett, L. Brooks, Pickett, Miss Her and had our two monograms in the back ' ground. The cabin at Longwood was again our responsibility, and we found the or ' ganizations signing up for its use on the week-ends. In November Louise Brooks, BeBe Gey er, Joanne Sterling, and Jesse Lee Pickett were initiated into the club. The other members included Alice Ann Abernathy, president; Jeane Bentley, secretary and treasurer; Betty and Jane Burchett, and Betty Minton. Miss Her served as our ever ' faithful adviser. Orchesis J O sooner had we begun our weekly practices in September than our president, Juha Booher, up and left us to be married. We had not recovered from this surprise when who should get married but our sponsor, Miss K, now Mrs. Landrum. Duly subsided, we decided to take orders once more from our officers, Corinne Baker, president; BeBe Geyer, treasurer; Mary Ann Morris, secretary; and Virginia Marshall, costume chairman. We entertained all club members and many guests at our annual banquet in OctO ' ber. Then fifteen girls, having filled their apprenticeship, were initiated. This affair was especially enjoyed by the old members since the new girls had wobbly knees for fear of the initiation. The Merce Cunning ' ham concert, which we sponsored, was a huge success. The recital, presented in February, was an experiment with color in relation to movement, accompaniment, costume, and choreography. This abstract color study was presented at the Arts Conference in Greensboro, North Carolina. With much work and enthusiasm we turned our atten- tion to the Greek May Day pageant which highlighted our year. It was followed that night by the May Day dance of which we were in charge.

Our biggest event of the year was the production of a water pageant in December. We felt it was a great sue cess, and the girls enjoyed being in it as much as the audience enjoyed seeing it. In March we had the privilege of sending five members to represent us in a swimming meet at Madison College. Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday after ' noons found the pool open to all for work or play, and the excitement was great when we were waiting for the results of the Inter ' collegiate Telegraphic meet, in which we participated. In connection with the Red Cross, we again sponsored life ' saving and examiners ' courses during the second se ' mester. Our group was enlarged by eight new members, B Hylton, Kitty Carmichael, Anne Langbein, Mary Miller, Pat Paddi ' son, Patti Page, Nancy Roberson, and Betty Tilson. Betty Burchett was our seC ' retarytreasurer. Miss Dabney, our indis ' pensable adviser and Jesse Lee Pickett, our president. Tennis Left to right: B. Burchett, G.

Winfree Varsity Hockey L HIS year, the second for the Varsity Hockey Squad, members of all four classes were selected. However, the Var ' sity Team was composed mostly of upper classmen. Three days a week we went out to the A. A. field in preparation for our game with Roanoke College. The Varsity Man- ager, Alice Ann Abernathy, was duly elec ted our varsity captain. We were all excited the day she issued the blue uniforms to the girls who were to play in the Roanoke game. With pep talks from Miss Her and Aber, we were sure to win our only game of the season. After the game we had an opportunity to meet the girls from Roa- noke at a chicken dinner given by the A. A. The big event of the season for the Varsity Squad was the selection of the girls to go to Richmond to see the All ' Vir- ginian Team play the AU ' English Team at Westhampton College. Even though the Virginians lost, it was a thrill for us to see our own Miss Burger, captain of the Vir- ginia team, play. It was the first interna- tional game most of us had ever seen. We are going to miss Peepsie ' s scooping, the passing from Aber to George Ann, and the team work of all the seniors. Yet we are looking forward to a bigger and bet- ter season next fall. Varsity Basketball JL HE basketball season got under- way this year the week before Christmas when we had our annual varsity basketball tryouts. When 1948 came, it found a squad composed of twentyeight girls al ' ready practicing faithfully under the capa- ble guidance and leadership of our coach, Miss Her. The manager of varsity basket- ball was Helen Londeree, with Betty Romeo as her assistant. Later in the season Alice Anne Abernathy was chosen captain of the varsity team. A game was scheduled for every week- end in February to be played here on our own court. Our opponents were Roanoke, Madison, WilHam and Mary, and Bridge- water colleges. On March third Miss Her and ten mem- bers of the squad excitedly journeyed to New York where they were scheduled to play two games. The first of these was Hof- stra College team in Hempstead, Long Is- land, and the second game with Pan2,er College of Physical Education in East Orange, New Jersey. As the official basketball season came to a close with the end of the New York trip, the Farmville basketball team closed its scorebook with the final tabulation of one loss, one tie, and four wins of the 1948 basketball season.

HIS year the hockey games in ' traduced the good ole Farmville spirit to the Freshmen. It wasn ' t long before they caught on and were right in there with us, singing the songs, helping with the cheers, and going out for the various sports. There was an opportunity for two of the classes to play Blackstone College. First the sophomores defeated Blackstone 5-2. A few weeks later, they returned to tie our juniors. Plans were made for a game be ' tween our freshmen and Farmville High School, but the weather never permitted the games. Late in November, the big event of the season came — the class games! The green and whites were determined to keep their colors on the cup, but in this sport, the red and whites came out on top. The night before the games started, the red and whites and the green and whites met behind the library for a pep rally. The cheer leaders led us in the class cheers and songs. Charlie Hop supphed us with chemicals to add color to our bon fire. Clem Allen led her sophomores to victory in every game they played this year. Jeane Bentley was elected captain of the senior team, Lenora Simons the junior team, and Nancy Gillie the freshmen. The games proved much fun for all — the spectators as well as the players. We are hoping to have another great season next fall. Basketball Captains, left to right: J.

In October the scholarship plaque was presented to Theta Sigma Up- silon. Through the friendly and sincere in- terest of our adviser, Miss Cleaves, we were able to fulfill our duties successfully. State Teachers College Socials Sigma Sigma Sigma BaNG! Crash! Rip! It ' s open! Every other chapter room had been cleaned while the Tri Sigs struggled with the brok ' en lock. Nancy Lee plunged madly into getting the room in readiness for the year ahead. It was a big year in Alpha ' s history, for Tri Sigma was to celebrate its fiftieth birthday in April. The first event of the year was the party for the fall pledges: Barbara Sours, Vir ginia Diggs, Shirley Young, Peggy White, and Anne Ford. The thrilling Christmas party was complete with our favorite song and Miss Camper ' s own solo part. After winter rushing, we welcomed Carolyn Calhoun, Agnes Dingledine, Em ' ilee Doub, Charlotte Jones, Betty McRee, Cabell Overby, Bobby Pollard, and Char- lotte Williams. Alpha was honored to act as hostess at the golden anniversary celebration. We welcomed back our founders, our national president and many alumnae. We rem ' inisced over Sigma ' s glorious history and planned an even more glorious future. Miss Pauline Camper, who has been most faithful and loyal, resigned as our adviser to take over her duties as national histc rian. We ' re happy now to have Mrs. Rob ' ert Brumfield as our new adviser. The entire year was wonderful under the leadership of George Ann Lewis, presi ' dent; Virginia Marshall, vice ' president; Dolly Ann Freeman, corresponding secre ' tary; Grace Mallory, treasurer; and Fran ' ces DeBerry, Pan ' Hellenic representative.

Although we were rather proud of our beach tans, Sarah topped us all with a Florida tan that would have put Haiti Hattie to shame. A major highlight of the year was the acquisition of a long ' strived ' for, dreamy vie. Another important addition was our fall pledge, Jane Murphee from Norfolk. We were all pleased to welcome Jane as a baby Gammie. Proud we were of our outstanding sis ' ters — Nancy Chambers as editor of the Virginian, Jane Burchett as president of Athletic Association, Sue Davis as vice ' president and Dorris Ballance as treasurer of the Senior Class. Libba Jeffreys was our beauty elected to May court. Adelaide Coble was selected maid of honor in the annual Winchester Apple Blossom Festival held in May. Another bright spot was little Rosemary Flam ' s return to her Alma Mater as assis ' tant to the Dean of Women. Miss Flam has enlivened many of our parties with rol ' licking tales about some of our graduate girls. It was with pleasure, too, that we learned that Miss Sutherlin was to be our patron. A priceless episode and most cher ' ished memory was the race Miss Sutherlin and Miss Stubbs had with their pet pen ' guins at our Christinas party. They shared honors in being the centers of attraction and the most popular. Other alumnae in school — Mrs. Coyner, and Mrs. Davis, and Mrs. Lemen our patron — were welcomed back to our numerous informal teas. Once exams were over, we plunged wholeheartedly into rushing and were hap ' py to add eight new baby Gammies. Our new pledges were Minta Critzer, Pulaski; Martha Smith, Farmville; Paulett Pifer, Winchester; Jean Hobbs, Norfolk; Lee Robertson, Danville; Barbara Medley, Charlottesville; Helen Casey, Charlottes ' ville; and Fleda Wilkinson, Kenbridge. Two of our girls are now sporting dia ' monds. We were almost as excited as Dor- ris and Paulett. Founder ' s Day, we renewed many old acquaintances among our Gamma Theta alumnae. They were quite charmed with the redecorated and replenished chapter room. Our spring banquet was held April 24 at Longwood with quite a large number of alumnae returning. We spent the night at Longu ' ood and, for the first time, reaHzed how time was slipping by. Plans were be- ginning to be formulated for another beach houseparty and a new school year. Our officers this year were Jean Babb, president; Betty Burchett, vice-president; Dorris Ballance, secretary; Libba Jeffreys, treasurer; and Jean Edgerton, Alumnae seC ' retary.

Bentley Alpha Sigma Alpha In the mad rush to greet everyone and the sheer bliss of that first grand week back in the fall, we were all eager and will ' ing to work like Trojans to put our chap ' ter room into some semblance of its former order. There was not time enough for ev ' eryone to tell her summer ' s story before the novelty of days past wore off. The highlight of the summer was the ASA houseparty on the Eastern Shore. It was one sad crew that pulled out of Cape Charles that last day — not only sad in spirit but sad in appearance. Our Christmas party was as much fun and as big a success as usual. The decora ' tions were left up for the Senior Dance in ' termission party. Speaking of the dance, we were really proud of Peepsie, who led the figure. Also orchids went to Betty Jeffer ' son for the splendid job she did as general chairman of Junior Dance and to Jane Tay lor, general chairman of the Pan ' Hellenic dance. After Christmas we snapped into the old routine when rushing came up. Those teas were fun we ' d never known before, and we were almost beside ourselves with joy over the wonderful results of our earnest efforts. We got some fine girls to carry on the fine ASA traditions. March saw us pledging Muriel McKeever, Jackie Wright, Marian Breeden, Betty Ann Barker, Nancy Bruce, Ann Kemp, Millie Evans, Romine Mahood, Anne McMullan, Helen Agnew, Nancye Gillie, Frances Minter, and Chic Ritchie. Good things came in torrents for us. Alice Ann Abernathy was elected May Queen, and Peepsie Brooks was elected hon ' or attendant. Our other pretty girls on May Court were Caroline Page, Katie Lawrence, and Frances Minter. The cabin party at Longwood was, as always, much fun. We almost overdid the eating angle, and wh en the next morning came, we all showed the effects of little sleep as a result of crowding three in a sin ' gle bunk, but we all concluded that it was well worth it. Romances flourished. Mary Lou Bagley became Mrs. Pickhardt and the number of rings and frat pins that flashed before our eyes were innumerable. The redecoration of the chapter room, provided the suspense and anxiety we need ' ed to color this year. We waited long for the decorator to come. Oh, well, we at least got our vie fixed and had music at any time. And then just Hke that another year ended, and a glowing record was entered in the annals of ASA under the capable leadership of Nancy Taylor, Violet Ritchie, Betty Jefferson, Martha Gillum, and the never failing loyalty and guidance of Miss Wall.

Then, once again our room was transformed into our home. We then began our plans for our twenty- third year with high hopes of its being one of our best. The Mu O ' s have much to re- member and cherish of this past year. Each week brought something new and exciting. Our Christmas party will ever be remem- bered. Dr. Moss made a perfect Santa Glaus and brought out from under the tree most amazing gifts for all. Then Miss Wheeler told the delightful story How Come Christmas, which we all enjoyed. Also we had our intermission parties; we entertain ' ed our dates and ether guests with our tra- ditional punch and cookies. Winter rushing came with its din of suspense and excitement and the ever-to-be ' remembered strains of Your Red Wagon and Those Little White Lies. We wel ' ccmed our fifteen new pledges, happily and noisily. We are proud of them : Jane Mount ' joy, Harriet Butterworth, Gaynelle John- son, Jane Lyon, Nancy McCracken, Fran- ces Cregar, Nancy Camper, Arnette Snead, Kitty Carmichael, Margaret Beasley, Char ' lotte WiUis, Mary Brownley Smith, Nancy Shackelford, Anna Hall, and Jean Cardoza. They immediately became staunch Mu O ' s and joined with us in a spirit that can never be suppressed. Springtime found us welcoming our alumnae back to our annual banquet on our twenty-third Founder ' s day. We had a great week ' end at Longwood with the old girls and the new getting together at the picnic lunch and formal banquet that night. Who can forget that hilarious night spent on the third floor of the house! The week-end with Miss Wheeler, alumnae, and the active chapter gave us a combination that could have no other outcome but the best of fun and the strengthening of ties of friendship that will last forever. With the closing of the chapter room door our wonderful year was brought to a close. It was a successful year under the leadership of ' Tete Peterson, president; Anne Galloway, vice-president; Gussie Hargan, secretary; and Gwen Cress, treas- urer. Our love and appreciation go to Miss Wheeler, our most loyal adviser, and also to Dr. and Mrs. Moss and Mrs. Packer, our honorary members. Such things as Sunday teas in the chap- ter room, parties, picnics, Boola Boola, hearing black and white, and Well follow Miss Wheeler saddened those of us who are graduating or leaving, but those of us who remain are eager to have another year as happy as the past one.

Early in October Mrs. Elsie Dodd Sind- les, our National vice, visited us. We were delighted to become acquainted with a former president of Alpha Epsilon and immediately adored her. The tea given in her honor was our first social event of the year. Next on our list of activities was fall rushing. Our new pledges were Jackie Eagle, Sallie Land, Mary Frances Squire, and Dot Tuck. We were deHghted to have each of them, for they will make fine Pi Kaps. We celebrated our Founder ' s Day, No ' vember 17, with a grand banquet in the Tea Room. Before we knew it, it was Christmas and time for another party in the chapter room. The gifts exchanged look ' ed dainty but mysterious under the tree. Immediately after Christmas, Student Gov ernment put on another dance with our Tucker as general chairman. Marjorie Milh er served as chairman of the decorations committee. As soon as exams were over, we made a purchase which delighted each one of us — a new Stromberg ' Carlson radio and victro- la combination that was really beautiful! It was a miracle that it didn ' t wear out be ' fore June under such constant strain. Winter rushing claimed our time there ' after, and we were overjoyed with our new pledges: Betty (Boo) Atkinson, Mary Minta Crowder, Helen Egerton, Mary Lee Gardner, Betsy (the Best Rat) Grav ely, Rosemary Hamlet, Ann Lynch, La ' Vergne Tuck, and Virginia Westbrook. Betsy Gravely was head of Freshman Pro ' ducation, which was a huge success. Ann Lynch was captain of the freshman basket ' ball team. Virginia Westbrook was our own version of Dorothy Shay! We know they will make grand Pi Kaps, too, and are delighted to have such sisters. Before we could realize it, the year was almost gone. There were Spring Cotillion, with all our pledges as goats; Pan ' Hel Dance, when they played our favorite AH The Things You Are; and that hilarious cabin party at Longwood. Our ov n Marjorie Miller, Ruthellen Mears, and Mittie Hahn added beauty to the May Court. Many others participated in the May Day exer- cises. Finally came our senior party; then we bade sad farewell to our senior sisters: Mittie Hahn, Ethel Harrison, Joyce HiU, A2,eele Hutt, Betty Scroggins, Mary Fran- ces Squire, Dorothy Tuck, LaVergne Tuck, and Tucker Winn. With our gratitude and unending thanks, we paid tribute to our capable ad- viser. Miss Her; our patroness. Miss Dab ' ney; and to our officers of the year: Ethel Harrison, president; Ruthellen Mears, vice- president; DeeDee Sledd, corresponding secretary; and Marjorie Miller, treasurer.

September! Our alumnae representative visited us. We gave a formal banquet in the tearoom to commemorate our Founder ' s Day. It was wonderful to see so many old girls back to help us celebrate. Then how could we ever forget our intermission par- ties, Thanksgiving, and Christmas celebra- tions in the chapter room? Bill Sydnor was chosen the Sweetheart of AST, and Jean Watts beamed for weeks! Peg Moore, our President, present ' ed Bill with the sweetheart pin at Pan-Hel dance, and our no ' break song was He ' s Just My Bill. Rushing found us with eight new Tau Babies : Love Bentley, Yvonne Burch, Jackie Carter, Nancy Cook, Joanie Cun ' ningham, Peggy German, Betty Jane Spen ' cer, and Dolores Waterfield. Our grateful love and devotion we give our officers — Peg Moore, Gin Bailey, Mildred Davis, and Jac Bobbitt. To Miss Bedford, our adviser, we give three rousing cheers! And to Alpha Sigma Tau we are in ' debted for a host of lasting friendships and wonderful memories. We have had our chance to love, and to work, and play, and to look up at the stars. And, as al ' ways, We ' re proud to be the girls of old AST.

Twenty ' two of us greeted each other in September and rushed off to the chapter room to claim our belongings which had been stored during the summer months. We certainly were glad to welcome Jean Snead back into our midst, after she had been away for two years. However, after the first semester, she trooped off to Okla ' homa to become Mrs. . Proud we were when at the open Pan ' Hellenic tea, we were awarded the scholar ' ship plaque for the year. We could hardly wait to rush up to the chapter room and have it hung. To celebrate this honor we decided to buy a beaut iful new radio ' vic. First semester rushing brought us four pledges to help fill the vacancies left from the year before. They were Peggy Chap ' man, Jean Hogge, Ann Langbein, and Lucy Vaughan. Happily we welcomed them into our fold the night that rushing was over. Never had the chapter room looked more lovely than it did for the Christmas party. Freida and Ann Owen really outdid them ' selves on the food, and the pledges made the cutest Santa, complete with sleigh and reindeer loaded with favors for everyone. Mrs. McCoy, our Mother ' Patroness, and Miss Jennings, our ever ' loving adviser, made the party complete with their pres ' ence. Each of us gave a toy to be sent to the Presbyterian orphanage instead of ex ' changing gifts among ourselves. As our voices blended softly in the singing of carols, we shared the happiness of the true Christmas spirit. Second semester rushing came around before we reah2;ed it. As a result, we proud ' ly claimed Peggy Crowder, Dorothy Gunn, Connie Heather, Helen Pomeroy, Ann Robertson, and Jean Samford as our very own. On March 20, we celebrated our Found ' er ' s Day with a banquet and house party at Longwood. It was a great occasion, hav ' ing so many of our Alums back. Many Tau alumnae returned to share the fun of Pan ' Hellenic Dance, too. Ev ' eryone looked beautiful dancing with her OAO to the melodies chosen by the Theta Sigs. Springtime found us picnicking at Long ' wood in honor of our senior members. What a hilarious time we had! But under the hilarity, there was a note of sadness because we kriew that soon graduation would take many of our girls from us. With big plans for a house party at Vir ' ginia Beach and thoughts of another school year to come, we bade farewell to each oth ' er with the reali2,ation that each June only brings to a close a short chapter in our col ' lection of happy memories.

It was a pleasure to get the room back into the familar arrangement. Then we began the routine of classes and held the regular Tuesday meetings in the chapter room. The Phi Zeta ' s who didn ' t come back were missed, but we welcomed a former member, Viola Turner. As a result of fall rushing, we gained five wonderful sisters. They were Betsy Higginbotham, Patsy Kimbrough, Ann Nichols, Betty Lee Reid, and Leonora Sim ' ons. Circus, the next big event on the cal- endar, was even more exciting with Char- lotte Gri2;2;ard as general chairman and Jeane Dunn representing the sophomores on the court. Before we knew it, Senior Dance was over. Memories of the intermission party lingered in our minds. The Christmas party was one of the best ever. Not even the real Santa could surpass our Santa, who quoted apt verses with each gift. Time does fly. Soon our Founder ' s Day was here. When the alumnae came back for the an- nual banquet and tea, the motif of the Phi Zeta Sigma ideals was carried out for the celebration of our ninth birthda y. After- wards everyone enjoyed talking to the alumnae, renewing traditions, and making plans. Winter rushing left us proudly claim ' ing as our own the following: Shirley Clarke, Ann D. Joyner, Esther Slagle, R. Jane Smith, Bobbie Wall, and Jacqueline Yates. As always Connie Newman ' s in ' genuity in planning parties was mirrored in the buffet supper in honor of the pledges. Ruth Radogna ' s pri2;e winning junior sing brought gales of laughter from us all and Laura Jean Comerford ' s election to the presidency of the Y. W. C. A. brought cheers. Spring was here and May Day with all the hub ' bub and excitement. We all beamed with pride at seeing Charlotte on the court. The week ' cnd at Longwood, honoring our senior members, was one to remember. This has been one of the best years, strengthening ties of loyalty and deepening the enjoyment of life. Much of the credit goes to Miss Winnie Hiner, our faithful adviser. Officers for the year were Nancy Hughes, president; Connie Newman, vice- president; Mary Davis, recording secretary; Catherine Bickle, corresponding secretary; Ruth Radogna, treasurer; Jane Mantiply, Pan ' Hellenic representative; Edna Earle Waters, historian; and Laura Jean Comer ' ford and Frances Treakle, co ' social chair ' Front row, left to right: Reid, F.

This delightful affair was held Saturday, November first, in the college gym. The goats all helped decorate the dance floor un- der the direction of Nancy Dickinson, who was decoration chairman. Sue Davis, our business manager, was chairman of the floor and music committees. We danced gaily to the music of Pat Patridge. We considered the evening a perfect opening of the sea- son ' s dances. On March first, bids went out to the freshmen asking them to join our dance club. We welcomed with open arms seven- ty-five goats, who wore for a week the traditional yellow ribbons around their an- kles. The date set for spring cotillion was March 20. The goats under the direction of Frances DeBerry made the gym into a spring-filled paradise. Ellen McMullan was in charge of the attractive programs given to each member of the club as she walked in the figure with her O. A. O ' s. A pretty Girl was played by Johnny Satterfield ' s or- chestra as we formed S. T. C. and C C. Corinne Baker led the figure in her charm- ing manner. The officers all wore white and carried beautiful bouquets of King Al- fred jonquils and blue irises tied with yel- low streamers. The chaperones for the dance were Dr. and Mrs. Dabney Lancas- ter, Dean and Mrs. WiUiam Savage, Dean Marth Smith Smith, Mr. and Mrs. Boyd Coyner, Dr. and Mrs. Bob Brumfield, Mr. Raymond French, Dr. and Mrs. Gordon Moss, Dr. and Mrs. George Jeffers, Miss Mary Dabney, Mr. and Mrs. Tom Mc- Corkle, Mr. and Mrs. Sam Graham, Mr. and Mrs. Merle Landrum, Miss Olive Her, Miss Elizabeth Burger, Miss Rosemary Elam, and Dr. and Mrs. Curt Higgin- botham. The evening simply flew by. Be- fore we knew it, we were back in our rooms, gazing stary-eyed into space. How wonderful! it was. We will long remember! Monday and Tuesday of the following week, to the horror of our new members, was Goat Week. Eleanor Overby reign- ed over goat court, which was in excellent style. Poor frightened tired little goats! They swept, dusted, washed, made beds, and entertained for upperclassmen in the finest manner. Their only hope was a thought of the future. Someday they would be goaters! It really was amazing to see every nook and corner from Cunningham to Student spotless as a result of continuous sweeping. After the last goat court, both new and old members breathed a sigh of relief. Of course it was fun, but it was hard to give orders to some of your best friends, even if only play. Gee Gee Yonce served as president dur- ing the term of H7- ' 48. Juha Booher, now Mrs. Robert Nelson, was figure leader un- til Thanksgiving. Sue Davis was business manager. Mary Lou Bagley Pickhart was our very competent secretary and treasurer. Corinne Baker was our figure leader in the spring. Mr. Boyd Coyner was our faculty adviser. Seated, left to right: S.

We pay tribute to the May Court who were selected for their animation, beauty, and charm.

Our ambition has been to give you a glimpse of the year ' s life at S. T. C. We hope that in future years this book will recall many pleasant memories.

Glover for his advice, friendship, an d help. J. P. Bell Company for printing our book, especially Mr. W. L. Burton whose letters and suggestions solved many problems and gave us new confidence. Andrk Studio for making our group and individual pictures. Foster Studio for making the pictures of Dr. Lancaster and Dr. Jarman. Stone and Thompson of Roanoke for the architect drawing used in the front of the book. Miss Virginia Bedford for the advice and work which she so wiUingly gave to the art section. Miss Nancy Foster for her cheerful and valuable assistance as our literary ad- viser. Mr. T. a. McCorkle, our chief adviser, whose patience, suggestions, and so- lutions to any problems gave us inspiration and incentive. The Student Body, The Faculty, and The Administration for their inter- est and cooperation through the entire year. We express our gratitude to the members of the Virginian staff, who have given generously of their time and effort in the preparation of layouts, copy, and pic- tures for this edition.
