McCORKLE, Adnser Published hy the student body STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE Farini ' il e, Virginia A LOOK THROUGH THE DOORWAYS c=r4ctiviiiei ll w, E first enter State Teachers College through the Rotunda doorway, which though it may seem strange at first, soon becomes familiar to everyone- students, faculty, and administration. Each doorway is an entrance into new activity and new thought. For that reason, we chose as our theme for this yearbook, ' ' A Look through the Doorways . We hope to present a complete history of the year. We have fulfilled our purpose if what you see recalls pleasant memories of 1949 spent at Farmville. DEDICATION This year we dedicate the 1949 Virginian to an indispensable person in the administration of our college who has faithfully served for twenty years. He is very active in the affairs of the Presbyterian Church and in the community, for several years serving as chairman ot the Prince Edward County Chapter of the National Foundation of Infantile Paralysis and being greatly interested in the Rotary Club. He is a lover of the outdoors, particularly fond of hunting and fishing. His golf class is a treat to all students who enroll in it. We would like to show our appreciation of our Business Manager, Mr. Samuel L. Graham. SENIORS MARCHING TO CHAPEL pyook i ' fii THE COLLEGE il ' O-tlilliXC Through the doorway of the Rotunda, which is the main entrance of the college, pass students, parents, friends, and dates to study, to visit, or to play. The comfortable recep ' tion lounge encourages the visitor or the student to linger, to be at home. From the Rotunda we go to the Home Office, telephones and reception desk, or upstairs, to the dormi ' tories. ' i t iLa iA ' ' Ui.. f m: P it Through the doorway of Whitehouse passed the people to chapel and to the dormitories above the auditorium. Memories of this building, burned on March 6, will long remain. Through the doorway of Student Building go the faculty and the officers of the administration to their meet ' ings. Visitors and students go to the sorority rooms and to games and dances. cz uiixeni { uildL iti and l Ultltelii iise J—LPUlt i Through the doorway of the Library pass all to read, to do research work, to study, or to browse through maga- dnes and newspapers. Through the doorway of Longwood pass students and friends attending teas, receptions, banquets, and house- parties. Some of our happiest moments are spent here. I - r A :. Copyright hy frcj DuJIl-v Dr. Dabney S. Lancaster, President Completing his third year as president of our college, Dr. Dahney S. Lancaster commands the respect of each girl at Farmville. We have grown to love him and to have complete faith in him. His smile, his friendliness, his patience in listening to our requests, and his sincere interest in us have led us to feel that he is a true friend. Needless to say, we are very proud of the progress that has been made during his short time with us. We are confident that he will succeed in making Farmville better and more useful — an honor to the State of Virginia. However, even more than our admiration for Dr. Lancaster as an administrator is our personal liking and affection for him. 14 W. W. Savage, Dean of the College Miss Ruth Gleaves, Dean of Women Dean Savage continued this year to render invaluable assistance to us. We shall always remember his aid in completing our schedules and making necessary corrections. His advice and guidance in helping us to choose our voca- tions proved indispensable. His previous news- paper experience added greatly to the sugges- tions he was able to give to the Rotunda. Although this is her first year as Dean of Women at our college, Miss Gleaves is not new to the student body. For six years she taught in the Home Economics Department, and during that time, we learned to love and respect her charm, graciousness, and sympathetic under- standing. This year has strengthened our faith and trust in her. THE FACULTY LUCY GORDON ADAMS B.S,, M.A. Supervisor in Farmville Elementary School EMILY BARKSDALE B.A., MA.

We realized, when we didn ' t get that You-didn ' t ' make-yout ' C-average ' slip, that we were full-fledged, sophisticated seniors — Well, full-fledged, anyway. We elected Violet as our president and we promised to keep our good work up by supporting all drives — particularly the one about putting Green and White on the Color Cup. With Anne Snead as treasurer, we kept the money coming in slowly but surely. Anne Robinson kept our meetings written down according to parliamentary law, and we did our best not to third a motion out of turn. Betty Jefferson was our vice- president, and she did an excellent job of backing us up. Our first task, Circus, loomed before us. We elected Betty Romeo and Phyllis Bagley as co-chairmen, and they did a bang-up job of trying to make our Deep- in-a-Dream come true to entertain our Violet, who was the Queen of Circus. fiockey season found us out there on the field, shooting, passing, and dodging, trying to win for Green and White. With Betty Romeo as our captain, we won enough games to help our sister class tie with the Red and Whites on the color cup. Again the knitting fad took over Senior building, and we did our best to get those argyles off to our men before summer set in. Most of us finished, but, of course, there are some who are still working on the toe of the first sock. Senior dance, headed by Betty Jefferson, is said to have been the best dance of the year, and we all thank Betty for the hard work and huge success she made of OUR dance. Christmas arrived at last, but looking forward to exams dampened our spirits. They were raised, however, when Dean Savage told us that all seniors could come back. Many of our classmates shone in the annual orchesis recital held in February. Among them were Jesse Lee, Jane Taylor, Janie Fox, and Griz. Needless to say, we were very proud of their excellent per- formances. Senior sing was the next event on our calendar, and we elected the very capable Sugar-Baby to lead us through the skit. This she did after screaming how very stupid we were, over and over again! All of us were thrilled when we found that Ruthellen was to be the Queen of the May Day. Margaret Wall was her maid- of-honor, and there were seven members of our class on the court. We were proud of Marjorie, Violet, Maude, Boo, and Mary Towles, who were very lovely princesses. Basketball and volleyball season arrived, and we were still trying. Joanne Sterling was our volleyball captain, and Lee Robertson was our basketball captain. Graduation finally came. Though we were very sad, we were looking forward to it. We sang our farewell songs in chapel very boldly, and then cried like babies when we looked at the in-coming senior class walk under our arch of caps. We had at last completed our memorable days of college. Now we close with best love to Charlie Hop, who stuck by us and cheered us on for these grueling four years. He did everything to keep our spirits high, and he never failed to be there when we needed him — which was often. To OUR man go our deepest love and sincerest hopes that he will get a class who loves him as much as we do — now and hereafter. Led to right: SneaJ, Robinson, Jefferson, Ritchie, Mr. French.

Taylor, Gillum, Pickett WHO ' S WHO R. -EPRESENTING the Farm- ville State Teachers College in the fifteenth edition of Who ' s Who Among Students in American Colleges and Universities were nine seniors selected by a committee composed of members of the administra- tion and faculty. These students were chosen because of their extra ' Curncular activities, leadership, and scholarship. Each year a compilation of the biog- raphies of outstanding students in Ameri- ca is published. To be eligible a student must be a junior or a senior, or must take advanced work. The purpose of the pub- lication is to bring the outstanding students in America to the attention of the business world and to others who are interested. The girls selected from the class cf 1949 were Laura Jean Comerford, president of the Young Wom.en ' s Christian Associa- tion; Anne East, editor-in-chief of the VIRGINIAN; Jane Fo.x, vice-president of the Student Government Association; Martha GiUum, president of the House Council; Marjcrie Miller, president of the Student Government Association; Jesse Lee Pickett, president of the Athletic Association; Violet Ritchie, president cf the Senior Class and president of Alpha Kappa Gamma; Betty Spindler, editor-m- chief of the ROTUNDA; and Jane Taylor, chairman of Student Standards and president of the Pan-Hellenic Council. JUNIOR HISTORY M, -Y, oh! My! It seems ages ago now, but it wasn ' t very far back when we decked old S.T.C halls as juniors help ' ing the seniors as orientation assistants. By the time the freshmen started pitch- ing questions, we juniors were beginning to wonder who needed orientating most ! With the first week busily passing, we entertained the freshmen and ourselves at the coke and nab party and beribboned the frosh with the Red ' n White. Naturally, with Roady as head of Circus and as our favorite ringmaster and with Nock so beautiful, our class was showered with applause for our Treas- ure Island. The Song Contest was quite successful as we came in second, but again we have to thank Roady and Page. Betty and Shang shone in the fall play, The Admirable Crichton, and back- stage was packed with energetic juniors, too. Hank was pushing the furniture around. Nancy Lee was making faces. Jane was trying to get that spot fixed. June was pinning up precarious animal skins and skirt hems. Of course, Betty was into everything even the curling iron. The hockey games after Thanksgiving completed our second undefeated year. The marshmallow toast and pep rally were novelties and much fun. We had a Halloween Party in the Senior Parlor, bobbing for apples. Of course, Mary Margaret was with us! Christmas brought many carats and not the kind one eats. The love bug bit hard, and Ruth, Annette, Polly, and Curley were the victims. Curley was bitten so hard she decided to remain at home. Speaking about being bitten, we are all now applying for the position of assistant Dean or assistant in the Bureau of Teach- ing Materials. Not that any of us are worried! Really, you wouldn ' t have thought it if you could have seen Junior Dance — The Ribbon Ball. Men every- where were bedecked with red and white ribbons. Everyone looked good enough to eat at the Tea Dance and cabin party, and believe me, we did eat! We had fun getting Sing together, and we jerked out a Gay-Ninety Mellow- drama. Orchesis Recital exhibited again our talented gals, who dressed the stage with modern dance: Margie, Ray, Sue, Mary Lou, Carolyn, Kitty, Robbie, Hilda, Hank, and our dear June as always at the piano. I don ' t know what we ' d do without June and Page. I know you ' ll all remember what a fun we had in a Recess in the Rec with Page and June carrying out the old junior spirit in everything ever tackled. We want to thank Sue, Judy, and Cab for taking such good care of our financial dream — the coke machine. In the Spring Play, Lady Windermere ' s Fan, Nock, Betty, Robbie, and our ex- junior. Oris, sparkled ' hind the foots. Backstage was crowded with the ever- faithful juniors as in the fall play. We all worked especially hard because, well, our first love won ' t be back next year. Of course we swelled with pride to see June, Marjorie, Betty, Hank, B, Lou, and B.S. carrying out the Virginia Ideal theme of May Day as our beautiful representatives. In the spring we struggled hard in vol- leyball, basketball, and swimming. We shed many tears when our seniors sang farewell. Lett to right: Miss Burger, Love, Ready, P.

Morrison ANN YOUNGER Madison Heights STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE SOPHOMORE HISTORY T. HE class of ' 51 returned to S.T.C. this September in the rain as usual — laden with stories of romance and adventure. Before we were even settled in our new homes, we knew who had married and who the lucky ones with diamonds were. We were proud of the Sophcmore Com- mission headed by Carolyn Calhoun and the able way they greeted the incoming freshm.en. After all, it had been only a short time since we had first braved the wilds of State Teachers College. From then on things really began jumping. The Y.W.C.A. and Big-Sis ' , LiP-Sis ' parties were only two of the many entertain ' ments that were held for the freshmen m rooms from the Post Office to Student Building. Then it came, the time every sophomore had eagerly awaited — Rat Day. Velvet Voice Wilson as head of ratting in- structed the lowly rats in sign language. It took both classes two weeks to recover from the effects of that hectic period, but all did recover. More fun and work came with Circus in October. Betsy Gravely looked pretty as our representative. Under the leader- ship of another Betsy — Wilson this time — Mother Goose Goes Wild. The finale by Virginia Spencer had everyone jumping, including the cows in the corn. Were we proud when we walked off with second prize for the second straight year! We gathered m the honors again when our melody wen first place in the song contest. This, tco, was written by our own Vir- ginia Spencer and will always be our top class scng. On our return from Christmas vacation, the plans for our Production stared us in the face. Confronted with the prospect of whipping up a good show in two weeks, we elected Vonnie Burch and Betsy Wil- son to guide us. They both proved capable leaders and put out a wonderful show. As we sailed in from the Atlantic to the boardwalks of that famous city, we knew our final production couldn ' t go wrong. Carper as the Alligator Boy, Isaac and Edna as the Huba girls, and a cast consist- ing of the majority of our class put it over with that special talent only Green ' n Whites have. Delores (Dali) Waterfield contributed her time and artistic talent for a backdrop that would do honor to any Broadway hit. We couldn ' t have done without her. With Charlotte Jones and Anne Burnette at the piano, the music helped to make both our Circus and Pro- duction successful. A little time passed as did some of the sophomores. Yes, it was exams. As soon as it all was over and we had had our rest period, we selected two of our loveliest girls to represent us on May Court, Isaac Velasquez and Charlotte K. Jones. The second semester, sing came up, and Ann Kemp and Virginia Westbrook were our heads and worked hard to give a successful skit. Even though we had to put it off twice, our final attempt was good. The last part of February brought the class swimming meet. Our class was represented by Chic Ritchie, Nancy Gil- lie, Claudia Anderson, Betsy Gravely, and Jean Cunningham. We also had our share of participants in the annual water pageant in December, and on the hockey and basketball teams. So another year passed, with few worries but many good times.

' N September 19, 1948, we new Red ' n Whites struggled bravely into the Rotunda, carrying the double loads of steamer trunks and heavy hearts. The drizzle outside did nothing to dispel the general gloom, but the upperclassmen did their best ! Remembering their own initia ' tion into a new school, they really rolled out the red carpet. They explained the handbook; they gave us the traditional Farmville hi in the halls. In that first week of matriculating, registering, coke parties, and skits, gray skies turned to gay skies. We were off to a good start. There were so much curtain-hanging, drapery-buying, and schedule adjusting to do that for awhile we didn ' t have much time for anything else. In fact, we were stunned to find that Rat Day with all its terrors was upon us. We spent minutes upon minutes lying under beds, flattening on gritty sidewalks at the call of air raid, and trembling before Little Rat Court. Finally it was all over as Rat Jackson rang the school bell fifty-one times in honor of the sophomores. The important date, October 21, came too soon for Maria Jackson, director of the freshman stunt for Circus. At eight o ' clock that night, the spot-light fell on A Trip Around the World. Tired of Farmville already? No indeed ! That was all just a part of the act, for as a class, we were just beginning. The month of November was election- month surely enough for us. We chose our class officers, our Freshman Commission, our Student Government and Student Standards representatives, and most im- portant of all, we chose Dr. Schlegel as our adviser. What an adviser he was dur- ing our freshman year! With Jean Ridenour as captain, we were really on the ball during the hockey and basketball seasons, and Cap- tain Nancy Walker kept her opponents stepping on the volleyball court. We freshmen knew how to make a name for ourselves in ways other than sports, too. The play was the thing, it seemed, and when the curtain rose on the Dramatic Club ' s fall play, Lee Elmquist, Ann Rosson, Chasie Sykes, Fran Franklin, and Jerline Korback bowed with credit before The Admirable Crichton. February brought a lighter vein to the stage. Under the direction of B. B. Wilson, the cast of Freshman Sing brought forth side-splitting laughs with The Four Stages of Love. Who will ever forget our buxom lecturer on the trials of innocent love? The fire on March 6 postponed tem- porarily our plans for a production, but Coal-Black and the Seven Mugs was given later in the Rec. All our playing was not done before the footlights by any means. Sometimes it was done after lights. As one freshman put it, We spent most of our Saturday nights in the closet! All jokes aside, our week- end frolics and jam sessions formed an unforgettable part of our freshman days at Farmville. They say that April showers bring May flowers. It must have rained often in April, for we were well represented in May Court by two brunette beauties, Jean Ridenour and Frances Turner. May Day meant that our first year at S.T.C. was almost over. Many memories of col- lege escapades and cherished Farmville tradition lay behind us, and we dreaded the thought of leaving them. But we pass on our rooms on Main, Tacky Alley, and Dead End to next year ' s freshmen with best wishes to them.

It was not long before we were selling food and assisting at prayers. Dealing with the food kept us busy, but knowing that it was for a good cause, we worked hard. Following our election, the Sophomore Commission treated us like queens at a gay affair at Longwood. It was fun, and we ' ll remember it as the real beginning of our good times here at S.T.C. Before we knew it, Christmas was here, and we were the leaders of the hanging of the green. This, along with the parties in the Rec and Student Lounge, was our contribution to our class and the rest of the school. In February we sponsored a party for our Big Sisters in the Rec, which was greatly enjoyed. This was one of the many ways in which we showed our appreciation to the upperclassmen. Under the leadership of our officers — Shirley Livesey, president; Jean Ridenour, vice-president; Sarah Crocker, secretary; Janie Lee Kellogg, treasurer; and our ad ' viser, Betsy Gravely — we had a very suC ' cessful year. We are looking forward to next year, when we will greet the incom- ing Freshman Class. (K.-A It ' itee ACTIVITIES ' , - D Seated, left to right: Fox, vice-president; M. L. Miller, president Standing: Ritter, secretary; Bragg, treasurer Student Government Association J_ VERY student in the college is a member cf the Student Government Association. The Council, which governs it, is made up of officers and representa- tives elected by the students. Keeping in mind the fact that it is an organization cf the student body as a whole, we, the Council, have tried to fulfill our purposes in uniting the students m better living, training them in responsibility, self ' reH- ance, and loyalty. Above all, we have tried to encourage the preservation of student honor. We earnestly hope that the organization has achieved its purpose. The school year began with the orien- tation classes held in September for the freshmen, under the direction of Jane Fox. Shortly following this, each freshman pledged herself to govern her life according to the standards set up by the college and to accept her responsibility for helping others to do so, by signing the Honor Code. It was impressed upon all students that the honor of one individual makes up the honor of the group, and that an effec ' tive honor system is one of the oldest and highest traditions of State Teachers Cob lege. At the first meeting of the student body, Dr. Moss was reelected as faculty adviser for the Council. It was under his wise guidance and sincere interest that we functioned so successfully throughout the year. Our officers were Marjone Miller, president; Jane Fox, vice-president; Patsy Ritter, secretary; Elizabeth Bragg, treas- urer; and Martha Gillum, House Council president. The ex-officio members — Laura Student Government Association J. Comerford and Jesse L. Pickett and eight class representatives made up the Student Government Council. We started our activities for the year with the annual birthday banquet in honor of Dr. Lancaster. Following this was the Student Government Dance on October 15, enjoyed by all. Since it was open to the entire student body and was the first dance for the new girls, it was an appropriate way to start off our school year. Christmas found us busy making the favors for the students and guests at our annual Christmas Banquet in the dinmg hall. The Yuletide atmosphere was impres- sive, and all were happy and exhilarated. Of course, throughout the year we donned our black skirts and white blouses and ushered at the various lyceums, choir con- certs, and other college entertainments. The conclusion of our year found the Council represented at the annual meeting of the Southern Intercollegiate Associa- tion of Student Government in Fredericks- burg, Virginia. We, the Council, teel that under the inspiring and capable leadership of our president, Marjorie Miller, this year has been a successful one. But the credit does not go to the Council alone. We could not have been as successful in our undertak- ings had it not been for the constant cooperation and assistance from Dr. Lan- caster, Miss Gleaves, Dr. Moss, and the entire student body.

A. w, HAT would an opening day at S.T.C. be without white ' clad Y girls dashing to meet the new students and explaining to them the mysteries of Annex, Tacky Alley, or White House? After a few days of just getting ac ' quainted, the Big Sister ' Little Sister Re- ception was held in the Student Lounge, at which the Uttle sisters met the faculty and upperclassmen. Early in October, the cabinet members and faculty advisers went to Longwood for the annual Fall Retreat. As we sat around the open fire, we felt that we had made excellent plans for a very profitable year. Among the goals set up were to place a large picture of Christ in the cabinet room, to publish a Y.W. C.A. manual, and to place a Y.W.C.A. box in the hall. All of these were accom- pUshed. The Y brought Mr. Stanger of Lynchburg College to our campus in Octc ber as the fall speaker. He conducted an open discussion group, using as his topic YOU. Our Rotunda column, Y Lines, has been helpful in publicizing the activities of the organization. The very impressive formal installation of the freshmen and new students into the ' ' Y was held in November. Each girl in white, with her candle, contributed to an awe-inspiring ceremony that began with a service in the auditorium and was followed by a promenade of the candle-lit figures through the Colonnade and into the Ro- tunda, where songs were sung and our Y motto repeated. The Y sent two representatives to a conference held in Richmond during No- vember. This was an interracial meeting Y. W. C. A. sponsored by the Virginia Council of Churches. The Y sponsors several of these trips a year. In December, our World Student Service Fund drive was a big success, and we topped our seven- hundred ' dollar goal by one hundred dollars. In December, we enjoyed our annual Christmas spaghetti supper in the Y lounge. The Y tried to help the students obtain a fuller meaning of the Christmas spirit by having prayers centered around the Christmas theme, by conducting the traditional Hanging of the Green, and by presenting the Christmas pageant, fol- lowed by White Christmas, in which each organization of the campus brought con- tributions for those in need. In February, probably our most antici- pated event took place — Religious Empha- sis Week. Our speaker for this week was Dr. Paul Buckles of Newport News, who led bull sessions and open discussions, and talked to us in chapel. The general theme of the week was You and Your Future. Throughout the year, the Y was also responsible for prayers being held each night after dinner in the auditorium, for helping the needy, and for working in many ways with the welfare organizations of the town. Laura Jean Comerford was our capable president. Her ability to cope with all situations in the same calm, efficient man- ner and her willingness to help at all times, made us all love and admire her. With such a guide, the Y was able to carry on its fine traditions and complete a suc- cessful year. Seated, left to right: Tillett, Calhoun, Grizzard, B.

The Virginian staff was determined to get an early start on our pride and joy . The photographer came in the late spring, and it was a job to get the students to have their individual pictures taken early. We enjoyed the results, however. Soon after the freshman arrived, Anne encouraged them to pass any ideas about yearbooks that they might have had on to us. She also asked them to sign up to be on the staff when a notice appeared to that effect. The photographer seemed to bring rain on each of his visits. We would struggle all afternoon with the scheduling of group pictures only to wake up and find the traditional Farmville weather — rain and more rain. Then in about fifteen minutes Anne would have to arrange the outside pictures in a suitable place m the building. In the fall we sent Joyce to represent The Virginian at the Virginia Intercolleg- iate Press Association Conference at V.P.I From her notes we got a few suggestions and a few warnings. Right after Christmas we made the physics lab our second home. Nightly we would go over to cut pictures and mount them. We didn ' t realize we had so many students ! In January, we bought a camera for our own use. Anne went around for weeks taking pictures of life at Farmville State Teachers College for the snapshot pages. We were proud of the pictures that she took. By the time the pages were finished, Anne felt like a professional photographer. . Then came the tedious task of getting articles written and correctly typed. We sometimes wonder what we would do without Miss Foster, our literary adviser. While passing out orchids, we heartily give one to Miss Bedford; our art adviser, and to Dot Wood, our art editor. All three worked hard to make our book a success. As we can ' t give an orchid to Mr. Mac, we ' ll make it a box of cigars. We just can ' t express our appreciation for his assistance and advice. One has to be in the trade a long time to know all the short cuts and tricks of the trade that he passed on to us. Edna Earle and Helen were kept busy all year collecting money tor subscriptions and pictures. We didn ' t envy them their job, which they did very nicely. Left to rwht: R. Hamlet. L Bruce, Kaknis.

It ' s true, however, that the job of keeping up to the minute on what happens here, from renaming the college to who had the biggest weekend , is an endless job. From Wednesday to Wednesday this year we ' ve made assignments, covered our beats fand felt like beating those who wouldn ' t give out a story), pecked out our copy, and rushed with it to the Herald. Then came the Tuesday slaveday of copy reading, the final cutting and editing, and the juggling job of make-up and heaHine writing. It has been hard work all the way, but every minute gave pleasure and invaluable experience. We started the year with httle more than a skeleton crew from the former staff. Jackie Eagle took over the girl Friday job of managing editor, while Betty Spindler sat behind the big desk m the editor ' s chair, and Anne Orgam handled the tough job of keeping our business in the black. Try-outs began, and soon people were discovering talents they hadn ' t even used yet. It wasn ' t very long before we had proof-readers who could spot an error a galley away and headline specialists who could write 2-24 ' s that flushed right and left. Every Tuesday night would find Mary Leigh, Jackie, Lee, Janice, Mary Jo, Joan, Jean, and Betty down in the Rotunda office till the small hours putting the baby to bed . Day to day, week by week, the Rotunda staff has pulled together to get the paper to press. Our purpose has been to collect all articles of interest to the students and those associated with the college, to keep everyone informed, and to keep a current record of the events which constitute the history of S.T.C. Not only did we go to press; we went to the press conferences as well. In the fall we went to V.P.I, to the Virginia Intercollegiate Press Association conven- tion, and in the spring to the convention held at Randolph Macon. We retained S.T.C. ' s representation on the Executive Board, when Betty was re-elected secre- tary-treasurer at the V.P.I, meeting. The Rotunda is proud of its charter member- ship in the organization; in tact, it can boast that the V.I. P. A. was founded at S.T.C, and that we played an important part in its reactivation in 1947.

Carter, P Gravely, M. R. Smith, Monk w, The Colonnade HEN school opened in September, the members of the Colonnade staff were faced with a perplexing prob ' lem. Who would be the new editor-in- chief? Mary Rattray, our former editor, had gone to France for the summer, and finding it quite appealing, had not re- turned to assume her responsibilities as editor. Scon, however, the problem was solved in the person of Anne Langbein. With such capable people as Barbara Andrews, managing editor, and Betty Jefferson, business manager, to help her, we were scon underway. In sponsoring the annual Short Story Contest we encouraged m.any talented students to reveal their ability in the literary field. Especially would we like to commend the work of Maria Jackson and Charlotte Davis, both mxcmbers of the Freshman Class. Then, too, there were the hard work- ing staff members, whose steady work and interest made possible the success of the publications. To you, Eula Ayres, Janice Slavin, Betty Spindler, and Polly Nasser many, many thanks! Also, to you other quiet and hard working members we ex- tend our sincere gratitude. You were the ones who wrote stories, composed poems, discovered new jokes, and drew sketches. We are quite grateful to you, Mr. Lan- caster, for your untiring patience and un- failing interest in helping to carry us over the rough spots. Orchids to you! Our advisers gave us their invaluable help and backing. Always with a willing hand and sincere interest, Mr. Grainger, Miss Jennings, and Mr. Coyner indeed ren- dered unfailing service. Without them, we would have been lost. Seated, left to right: Spindler, Andrews, Langbc Standing: P.

E, the House Council, want to congratulate all of you for your splendid cooperation. Never before have the fresh ' men girls realised so early in the year the importance of a quiet study hour. Maybe the fact that three call ' downs a semester put a girl on campus, that the fourth call ' down meant another week of campus, and that the fifth call ' down meant a ticket before student government made the girls more cautious! The late snack in the Snack Bar was very convenient, wasn ' t it? Late lights extending until midnight helped those poor chicks who just couldn ' t manage to get everything done. With the kind and most helpful support of our house mothers, Mrs. McCoy, Mrs. Johnston, Mrs. Holliday, Mrs. Warren, and Mrs. Eastham, the House Council can boast a most successful year.

Miller Student Standards X HE purpose cf this commit ' tee shall be to bring about a spirit of cooperation in the solution of student problems, and to foster high standards of action and scholarship; the committee will act as a clearing house for problems between the student body and the faculty or administration. Under the competent leadership of Jane Taylor, our chairman, the Student Stan- dards Committee strove to improve several aspects of college conditions. The other officers were the following: Louise Redd, Chairman of the Calendar of School Events, who laboriously kept a record of all activities which occurred; Margaret Beasley, Chairman of the Point System, who had a terrific time keeping in contact with the student officers and members of the different organizations to see that they did not belong to too many extra ' curricular activities for their scho ' lastic averages; and Elizabeth Bragg, sec ' retary. The Committee worked with members of the faculty, administration, and student body. Among our accomplishments we saw to it that the lights — mainly in the library student building. Junior building, and Rotunda room — were improved. Through the efforts of the Student Standards Com- mittee fluorescent lights for the library and a rubber mat for the auditorium have been ordered. We hope to acquire these helpful articles soon. Alpha Kappa Gamma Ai .LPHA Kappa Gamma, an honorary fraternity for leadership m womanly service, recongizes those girls who have shown themselves to be out- standing in service, not only as heads ot organizations but as members. The Joan Circle had for its capable advisers: Miss Burger, Miss Stubbs, and Miss Headlee. The officers were Violet Ritchie, president; Gwen Cress, vice- president; Jesse Lee Pickett, secretary; and Martha Gillum, treasurer. The other members when school opened were Laura Jean Comerford, Marjorie Miller, and Jane Taylor. During the year we tapped Anne East, Jane Fox, Jackie Eagle, Dot Daniel, Betty Spindler, Dalila Agostmi, Jean Thomas- son, Delores Duncan, Norma Roady, Ray Phillips, and Jackie Wright. In October Holiday Escapades was the theme ot our annual circus. Norma Roady made the crowd happy when she made her appearance as ringmaster. Violet Ritchie was Queen, and her attendants were Anne Nock, Betsy Gravely, and Mary Helen Cook, each representing her class. Columbia, S. C, was the meeting place for the annual convention. Delegates from Joan Circle were Jane Taylor, Jackie Eagle, and Violet Ritchie. To hold high the spirit ot Joan of Arc, in whom there was no self ambition but unselfish service, to recognize these quali- ties, and to help develop them- these are our ideals in Alpha Kappa Gamma.

It seeks to promote fellowship among the members. Beta Epsilon Chapter of Kappa Delta Pi was founded on our campus in 1928, replacing Pi Kappa Omega, which was founded in 1918. Kappa Delta Pi has 141 active chap- ters in universities and schools of Educa- tion all over the United States. The Christmas banquet in the college Tea Room was one of the outstanding events of the year. E.xams were hardly over before we began planning for the annual spring reception in May, honoring the freshmen and sophomores who ranked in the upper quarter of their classes. Members of the faculty were invited to this pleasant event, which was held in the Student Lounge. One of our most inspiring speakers this year was the Rev. John W. Muers, who spoke to us at our February meeting on the place of religion in teaching. All of us will carry his stirring message with us as we enter our profession. In a special chapel program in the fall, new members of Kappa Delta Pi were recongized by cere- mony in which the club ' s colors were pinned on them. Throughout the year we received con- stant inspiration and guidance from our cherished sponsor. Dr. Ethel Sutherland. Our very capable officers were the follow- ing: Jean Thomasson, president; Laura Jean Comerford, vice-president; Rives Edwards, secretary; Dorothy Daniel, trea- surer; and Sara Rawles, historian.

We have, heretofore, been a two-year organization; now the member- ship includes sophomores only. We have tried to have many different types of programs this year, some of a general interest and some of special interests. They included round-table dis- cussions, quizzes, and visits of notable entertainers. Through this variation we have encouraged student participation and are well pleased with the whole- hearted cooperation of the group. A Christmas party took the place of the regular December meeting. Hattie Swihart, chairman for this affair, presented a well-planned and entertaining program. The theme was How Christmas is Cele- brated by the French and the Spanish . Yvette Ancey, the French student, played several beautiful French carols on the violm. Dalila Agostini, one of the Puerto Rican students, told the story How the Spanish Celebrate Christmas . Under the direction of Sylvia Damsky, delicious re- freshments were prepared and served. We have had an interesting and suc- cessful year with the help of our loyal and diligent adviser. Miss Draper. The follow- ing were our officers: Virginia Spencer, president; Ma.xine Acree, vice-president; Hattie Swihart, treasurer; Mary Crow- der, recording secretary; and Charlotte Jones, corresponding secretary.

Fergu , Bondurant, Hardin Beorc Eh Thorn B. EORC Eh Thorn, the English honor society on the campus, derives its name from the three Old English rune letters Beorc, Eh, and Thorn, which sym- bolize to its members the study cf litera- ture, the inspiration of creative writing, and the discipline necessary to achieve literary expression. This year French literature was the theme for study. At the opening meeting in October, Mile. Yvette Ancey, an exchange student from France, spoke ch armingly on some aspects of modern French literature. Later programs included book reviews and talks on French writers and their works, as well as translations of French poems into Eng- lish. In some of these and in the French Christmas program Beorc Eh Thorn was assisted by Le Cercle Frangaise. The Institute on French Culture held at the College March 17 to 19 was sponsored jointly by Le Cercle Frangaise and Beorc Eh Thorn. Beroc Eh Thorn also sponsored a visit to the campus by Mrs. Phyllis Taunton Wood, English poet and educator, who gave a delightful program of readings from living British poets, including some of her own poetry. At the annual picnic in May, original writings by members were read, and de- grees were awarded. The officers were Edna Earle Waters, president; Dalila Agostini, vice-president; June Banks, recording secretary; Mary Young, corresponding secretary; and Dor- othy Dodd, treasurer. Pi Gamma Mu Pi I Gamma Mu is the social science honor society on our campus. This organization invites as its members girls who have shown outstanding interest and ability in the social science field and who stand high in scholarship. Among those we were happy to welcome as our new members are the following girls: Melbale Booth, Lois Callahan, Nadme Lewers, Denise Love, Harriet Steele, Nancy Mee- teer, Dorothy Braswell, Allie Jane Felton, and Helen Traynham. Our general theme this year, though a broad one, was one in which we were all tremendously interested — Understanding Other Peoples Through Knowledge. We hope and feel we have gained something worthwhile, invaluable, and promising from our study. With the retirement last year of our former sponsor. Dr. James Elliot Walmsley, we were honored with the acceptance of Mr. M. Boyd Coyner as our new sponsor. Mr. Coyner has long shown an interest m Pi Gamma Mu. To Mary Evelyn Miles and Elizabeth Drewer we owe a vote of thanks for so capably managing our circus booth. Bringing cur school year to an exciting and pleasant close was the annual Spring Banquet, which was held late m the spring. It was an occasion we all looked forward to with unconcealed pleasure. The officers for this year were as follows: Adelaide Coble, president; Mary Evelyn Miles, vice ' president; Elizabeth Drewer, secretary; and Jackie Watson, treasurer. Seated, left to right; J. Watson, Coble, Miles, Drewer Standing: Winton, Thomasson, R. Edwards, Rawles, Hahn Future Teachers o f A merica T. HE Future Teachers of Amer- ica seeks to create interest in professional leadership, to further the understanding of the activities and service of the Na- tional Education Association, to study the traditions and practices of the teach- ing profession, and to develop in the members those powers and qualities rec- ognized as desirable assets of the profes- sional teachers. This year the J. L. Jarman Chapter concentrated on improvement of teacher training. The main problem was to find the ways by which supervision may extend the perspective and responsibility of student teachers. Much was attained in the meetings when the supervisors, stud- dents, and school officials met to discuss the problems of student teaching. In the spring many new members were initiated. In order to become a member of Future Teachers of America, a student must be recommended to the membership committee by the head of her department. The chapter was sorry to lose their capable president, Mary Parham, who did not return to school after the first semes- ter. Ruth Tillet was elected acting secre- tary in place of Jackie Bobbitt, who was unable to keep the position. The officers serving the chapter for the year were Mary Parham, president; Ann Owen, vice-president; Jackie Bobbitt, secretary; Mary Young, treasurer; Rives Edwards, librarian; and Dr. J. P. Wynne, our ever- faithful adviser. Seated, hr. t row, kit lo rii;ht; Allen, Agee, Coleman, Booth, Mandel, Winton, Kibler, Nasse.- Second row: Comerford, Tillett, Edwards, Bobbitt, M.

Atkinson, Patteson Association of Childhood Education i HE Association of Childhood Education was formed m 1930 by the merging of two organizations, the Inter- national Kindergarten Union and the National Council of Primary Education. The purposes of the Association are to work for the education and well-being of children; to bring into active coopera- tion all groups interested m children in the home, the school, and the community; to promote desirable educational programs and practices m the elementary school, in- cluding the nursery school, the kinder- garten, the primary, and the intermediate; and to raise the standard of the profes- sional training for teachers and leaders in the iield. To achieve these purposes the Association is guided by a philosophy of education which is flexible and which changes to meet the needs inherent in a changing society, as related particularly to children, and to the preparation of teachers. We initiated thirty-two new junior elementary majors this year. We have been led by Sara Rawles, our most capable president. We have had excellent pro- grams under the leadership of Elsie McAllister, our program chairman. Topics on how to guide children and how to help them learn through good instruction was emphasized. Assisting Sara were Elsie, vice-president; Betty Jordan, secretary; and Esther Marsh, treasurer. Miss Alice Carter was our capable friend and adviser.

Smith Standing: Ghiselin, Hahn, Boxley, Hardin, Gray, Hoover, Newell Dramatic Club N( O sooner were the doors of S.T.C opened than the meeting of the executive board started the activities of the Dramatic Club roUing. With the apprentices enrolled in bi-monthly classes, the cast was chosen from the STC Drama- tic Club and the Hampden-Sydney Jong- leurs for the Fall play, Barriers The Admirable Crichton . Everyone was soon enthusiastically at work, and the produc- tion was a big success. A little rest at home after exams pepped us up ready to start off with the Spring Play. The decision was hard to make, but ' ' Lady Windermere ' s Fan by Oscar Wilde was our choice. The cast and de- partment heads soon had everything ready for dress rehersal, but I guess the show was just a little too hot. The 6:30 auditorium fire brought our noble efforts to a blading climax as the fire was fed by costumes, lighting equipment, stage sets, make up, props, and all. The family tree was still standing, however, with Miss Leola Wheeler the root of our strength and with Betty House our president; Jean Cake and Jane Ghis- elin, vice-presidents; Owen Cress, secre- tary; Ruth Eggleston, treasurer and busi- ness manager; Vonnie Burch and Oris Boxley, co-heads of acting group; Helen Hardin, staging; Jane Gray, lighting; Jean Smith, property head, Nancy Lee Maddox, make up; and June Banks, costuming. We were soon back on our feet. Miss Wheeler, our adviser, has served with ability, untiring energy, interest and love, over and above that required of an excellent teacher and adviser. This is her last year, however, and her retirement will be felt keenly not only by the Dramatic Club of our college but by the entire student body. A, Eastern Shore Club NOTHER September morn- ing began a sad but exciting day when we Shore Girls met at Cape Charles to take the ferry trip once again en route to our own S.T.C. We were sad because we found ourselves on deck taking our last glimpse of that wonderful strip of land, and then we were excited because we knew that once again we were headed for the pleasant halls with welcomes and laughter galore! We welcomed nine freshmen with us. They were Frances Turner, Frances Stringfellow, and Indie Shakleford of Cheriton; Norma Gladden and Sue Nelson of Bloxom; Nancy S. West, Jerry Killmon, and Hetti Rae Barnes of Onley, and Betty Parks of Belle Haven. We were also glad to have Jane Richards, who came as a junior transfer from S.T.C, Salisbury, join our group. Janie is the first Marylander that we can recall in our Eastern Shore Club. Each year a large number of the girls go home with us to visit and are initiated into the Quart , the Diner, Anchorage, and such places. We wish to give proper mention to a few of these girls whom we gladly claim as honorary members — Virginia Westbrook, DeeDee Sledd, Betty Romeo, Ruth Radogna, and Tootsie Hamilton. Also, we remember others who have acquired the love of the salt air ! We were proud of Ruthellen, who reigned as Queen at our May Day, and of Frances Turner and Maude Savage, who looked very beautiful as they served on her court. Our officers for the year were as follows : president, Joanne Sterling; Vice-president, Jane Taylor; secretary, Ann Nock; and treasurer, Nancy Watts. Miss Ottie Craddock, who formerly taught on the Shore, served faithfully as adviser. First row, left to right: Stringfellow. Savage. Barnes, R.

We en- gaged ourselves in activities which gave us a clearer understanding of some aspects of the great French culture. In our meetings we gave special atten ' tion to learning songs and to presenting skits. Our Christmas party together with El Club Espanol was a success, and the climax of our activities was the celebration of a French Institute in March. We were most fortunate to have Miss Draper and Miss Ancey to direct us in all our activities. Miss Ancey, from Paris, captivated all of us with her charm and abihty. Miss Draper, our diHgent adviser, was always ready and able to direct us. Spanish Club Officers, left to right: Nock, treasurer; Kaknis, secretary; Hatcher, president; Dodd, reporter; Agostini, program chairman o ' UR meetings were initiated ' with a Coke ' n ' Nab party in the Student Lounge. At this time we were introduced to our officers, to each other, and to the social use of our language. The Christmas fiesta, which was plan ' ned in conjunction with the French Circle, held as much fascination for our visitors as for us. Another great pleasure of the year arrived with Pan American Day. We want to thank Dalila Agostini, our program chairman, for her bounteous assistance m all our undertakings. Through what we have learned by and about people hke Dalila, we hope to be able to live up to our motto, La os mas estrechos entre las Americas . Northern Neck Club H. .OME, sweet home to all cf us IS that strip cf land between the muddy Rappahannock and the broad, blue Poto- mac, known as the Northern Neck. Of all the places we know, there is none other quite so dear to us. The Northern Neck of Virginia has produced many illustrious statesmen and outstanding men cf vision. Yes, the Northern Neck has given us here at Farm- ville our own chemistry professor, Ray mond Holliday French, better known as ' Charlie Hop . And did you know that Mr. McCorkle held his first teaching position at Callao and had Mr. French as a student? So, rightfully, the Northern Neck Club is proud cf those fine Farm- ville S.T.C. constituents. Our club is purely a social one, and we admit that we do have wonderful times together. For instance, we ' ll never forget the wonderful hamburger feast held at Mr. Graham ' s, the initiation of our new members, and our Christmas party held at Farnham High School. The aims of this club are to stimulate friendly and social relationships and contacts within the club and college and with fellow members of other colleges and to encourage high school girls to come to Farmville. Our new members this year were Mary Helen Cook, Ann Lamb, Anne Mottley, and Peggy Wilson. Serving as president this year was Esther Marsh. Assisting her as vice-president was Louise Taylor. Our secretary and treasurer was Margaret Forrester. Our one and only Charlie Hop was adviser. kiiLtluit, ,tit to right Cook. Lamb, Motley. M V ' ilson Standing Foster, Burgess, L.

Ann Nock as president did a wonderful job. Our other officers, who proved to be quite capable, were Bobbie Jean Robertson, vice-president; Polly Richardson, secretary; Jean Oliver, trea- surer; Jean Farmer and Virginia West- brook, chairmen of the social committee. Without the help and guidance of Miss Wall, we should have fallen by the way- side. At our spring picnic Grandma Wall was more fun than a barrel of monkeys. After our initiation, the time at which the new members received their pins, the party was a great success. The alumnae magazine was sent to all of the alumnae as usual. The pictures of the old and the new members of the Granddaughters Club were included this year. We hope the alumnae will give us some more helpful suggestions for the club. We feel that this year has been a good year and that we have accomplished much. Founder ' s Day was a wonderful time for all. We were hostesses on the campus and enjoyed meeting the alumnae and showing them around the buildings. It was great fun meeting the friends of our mothers and hearing about the times they used to have together. We are certainly looking forward to Founder ' s Day in 1950.

Gwen Cress was our president; Laura L ee Stickley, vice-presi ' dent; Margaret Forrester, secretary; Nan- cy Short, treasurer; and Mildred Garnett, publicity manager. We opened cur year of work and play together with a lovely re- ception given to welcome our energetic freshmen and to welcome our faithful former members. Again this year we strove for variety in our meetings, which were quite inter- esting, proiitable, and enjoyable to us and to the student body. For these meetings we have had parties, food demonstrations, and a talk by Dr. Schlegal in which he spoke of the history of food. Also we dis- cussed the possibilities of future ways of food preparation. For the student body we again presented a style show of the lovely cottcns made by the freshman and sophomores, and handsome suits made by the juniors. The seniors displayed gar- ments made outside of school. April found us in our old blue jeans heading toward Longwocd. We decided it would be better to try our knowledge of a real picnic lunch on each other than on others. Good excuse! Did you hear about our juke box dance? It really was such a huge success and so much tun we had almost to push them out of the door at twelve o ' clock. Our year ended with a unique recep- tion given by the underclassmen for our mighty, but sad, seniors. We are looking forward to a most proiitable year to come. Commercial Club o. ' RGANIZED m 1939, the Commercial Club has for its purposes providing students in the Business Educa- tion Department with a more specific knowledge of the various opportunities in the business field and furthering their interests in this respect. It also has social gatherings for the promotion cf fellowship and goodwill among the members. Mem- bership m the club consists cf two classes, active and honorary. Active members are those students who major in Business Education. Honorary members are the professors in the Business Education De- partment. They constitute an Advisory Board from which a sponsor is elected annually. For the first meeting this year, the various classes presented skits. Last year a plan was instituted for having each class present a program during the year; It has proved successful. In November the club initiated a new form cf entertain- ment on the campus for the winter session — a juke-box dance. Other organizations have followed our lead, and several such dances have been given. The club spon- sored their second juke-box dance in April. Santa paid us all a visit m December showering us with fun, food, and gifts at the Christmas Party. Another highlight of the year came m January when we initiated new members into the club. For the main social event of the year, a picnic was held at Longwood with the freshmen in charge cf the program. Their participa- tion climaxes the club activities and makes them more an important part of the club. Officers, seated, left to right: Slavin, reporter; R.

Every Monday and Thursday night found the sixty-five of us, who proudly claimed membership in the S.T.C. Choir, dashing from supper to the little auditorium for our regular choir rehearsals. The fall months sped by, as we worked diligently m preparation for our first big appearance of the year, our joint Christ- mas Concert with the Hampden-Sydney Glee Club. This concert was at S.T.C. on Sunday night. Following this we joined the entire student body m caroling in town. We repeated this concert at Hamp- den-Sydney on Tuesday night. The choir and the S.T.C. MadngalGroup presenteda concert at Randolph Henry High School at Charlotte Court House during December. After Christmas we spent our time in preparation for our two large perform- ances for the spring semester. On March 12 we sang a group of numbers for the Alumnae who had returned for Founder ' s Day. After this we began to concentrate our efforts toward April 6, when the Harvard University Glee Club came to Farmville to give a joint concert with our choir. Mr. Ralph J. Wakefield was our new director this year, and as each rehearsal passed, we grew to love him more. Our officers for the year were Jean Watts, president; Puckett Asher, vice-president; Nancy Kibler, secretary; and Winnie Beard, treasurer. Miss Virginia Bugg again was our capable and interested sponsor. First row, left to right: Hogge, J. Watson, Beard, Asher, Watts, Hundley, C. K. Jones, Sterling, Rushing Second row: A. W.

Jo Madrigal Choir -L VERY Wednesday afternoon at five o ' clock we met m Room 21 for our regular Madrigal rehearsal. Many were the hours spent working out the difficult counterpoint of Madrigal music. Our happiness when we had mastered the music was all the reward we needed, however. This year one more voice was added to each of the three sections in our group, giving us a total membership of fifteen. We sang over WFLO for the first S.T.C. Hour program cf this year. Our contri- bution to the WSVS ' ' Recess In the Rec Christmas party consisted of two Christ ' mas carols; one, our own arrangement of Silent Night, is getting to be traditional around the campus. During December we also began the Christmas spirit in the college by leading carol singing in the Rotunda around the Christmas tree every day before lunch. We also sang at the annual Yuletide banquet in the dming hall and for the Christmas program of the Women ' s Clubs. The Madrigal Choir sang the first group of numbers on the annual Christ ' mas concert given at both S.T.C. and Hampden-Sydney. During the year the Madrigal Singers were featured on several chapel programs. A radio appearance on the S.T.C. Hour in April completed our activities for the year with the excep- tion of commencement. At commencement, we tearfully sang together for the last time. This ended one of the happiest and most successful years we have ever had. Westminster Fellowship T, HE success which our West- minster Fellowship had this year began when we elected our capable and hard ' working officers: Betty House, president; Sam Hart, from Hampden-Sydney, secre- tary; and Anne Simpson, treasurer. With the grand suggestions and hard work given to us by Mr. Roberts and Mrs. Fletcher Hutcheson, better-known to us as Mary, our advisers, we have had a year of fun, work, and inspiration. The social side of our activities began on our first Saturday night of the new school year when we had a party to top all parties. Our monthly suppers were among the most popular events on both our campus and that of Hampden-Sydney This year, for the first time, we had the suppers every other month at Hampden- Sydney. We ' ll never forget all these de- lightful evenings. In February we spon- sored one of the favorite juke-box dances in the rec , and practically the entire student bodies of both colleges enjoyed this. Our group had its more serious mo- ments during the year, too. In a series of talks, Mrs. Frank Crawford told us of her impressions of the conference of the World Council of Churches, as she heard first-hand reports from some of the United States representatives. Dr. Thompson, from Hampden-Sydney, gave us an inter- esting and enlightening lecture on ancient church art and showed some exquisite slides from his collection. Specially pre- pared films on subjects of current interest were features of some of our programs. None of us will ever forget our hayride and old-fashioned picnic at Longwood, or any part of our happy, successful year. First row. left to right; Asher, Critzer, House, H.

We were challenged to deeper think- ing and better Christian Hving through the study cf the book of Acts. During the year we received spiritual strength from conferences attended, hi the fall, four girls from our campus were able to attend the Southwide conference at Ben Lippen, North Carolina. We were thankful that one of our number attended the Missionary Convention at the Uni- versity of Illinois Christmas. The Virginia- North Carolina Conference at Roslyn in February was a week-end during which we learned more of Discipleship — truly following Christ. The visits of Anne Childs, IVCF staff worker for this area, meant much to our group. For her council and suggestions we are deeply grateful. Special speakers brought added bless- ings to our group. At the Thanksgiving service, Pat Butler of Hampden-S ydney gave us an inspiring message. In March we emphasized missions with Dr. Virgil Hook, former missionary to the Tibetan border, as speaker. A high-light during the year was a week of Bible study led by Jane HoUingsworth, former IVCF staff worker in New York City. Wesley Foundation T, HE first Methodist Student Center to be established in the State of Virginia was established on our STC campus this year. This center is conveni ' ently located next door to the Weyanoke Hotel and consists of a lounge, an office, a kitchen, and an apartment for our director. This center is open for us Methodist students at STC and H-S and is our home away from home . During the year the Center has been a place of constant activity. Each evening, Monday through Friday, a small group met with an adviser to discuss problems of religious or theological nature. On Satur- day evenings the center has been open for recreation. On Sunday the activities at the center began with breakfast at 9:15 and continued with a student class at 9:45, Morning Worship at 11:00, Wesley Foundation at 7:00 P.M., and Evening Worship at 8:00 P.M. The highlight of the year for the Foundation was the visit cf Dr. Kirby Page on the STC campus on March 24th. Some other events to be long remembered are the dedication service on September 19, dinner for the overseas students, the visit of the Emory and Henry football team, the visits by national leaders, a state-wide conference, the overseas relief drive, a series of lectures on Love, Court ' ship. Marriage by our minister, a fashion show, and trips to the lake. First row, left to right: Weeks, S. Walker, Miss Bailey, Nasser, Dunford Second row: Lewers, R.

Executive Coun- cil met at Longwood before school opened for the Pre-School Retreat, The Out- living of the Inlivmg Christ was our theme chosen for this year. Our verse was John 17:23; and our hymn was ' ' More Like the Master. Our fall calendar was dated with a party welcoming the trosh , an Open House to introduce them to the Center, Join-the-church Day, enlistment cam- paigns. Thanksgiving Sunrise Service, and frequent visits from Mr. Ralph Winders, our State Student Secretary. These red- letter dates were topped with the State B.S.U. Convention in Roanoke. Winter brought the Lottie Moon Christmas Program, Vocational Emphasis Week, and Miss Rees Watkins, former missionary to Africa. We had another Open House to show off our center to the local town people, and the interest of our B.S.U. was concentrated on the Youth Revival. We are thankful for an enthusi- astic Youth Revival, which was led by a group from the University of Richmond. With spring came the School of Mis- sions, the election of officers, the local Spring Retreat at Longwood, and the never-to-be-forgotten spring picnic. Also came the State Spring Retreat in Coving- ton with spiritual strength for the new officers. The B.S.U. this year has been a source of spiritual strength to its members. We parted -some looking forward to a greater B.S.U. next year and some looking forward to service m the teaching profession and a new church. First row, left to right: O ' Laughlin, Miller Second row: Mann, Stoops Third row: Famulette, Quinn T, HIS year the Newman Club was again directed by Father McCarthy. Mary Miller, who was recognized for her splendid work as vice-president last year, was elected president. Anna Famulatte took on the offices of secretary and trea- surer. These officers composed the execu ' tive board. The Catholic students of both S.T.C. and Hampdeo ' Sydney attended Mass regularly each Sunday in the small Newman Club auditorium of the college, and our meet ' ings were held on alternate Sundays after Mass each month. Father McCarthy frequently invited us and our friends to come for Sunday dinner and fun. Our last visit to Crewe was a joint dinner with the Blackstone girls, and it was a wonderful way to conclude the successful year. Ch H, .AVE you heard about us? We know you have. But did you know that we hear all, see all, and hjiow all ? We are safe in saying now that this year has not been one of Httle action. Although our work has been under cover, we feel that we have done our part in upholding the standards of our college by warning those girls whose conduct has been dis- loyal to the ideals of our school. There were times when our activities were somewhat hampered by unforeseen conditions; nevertheless, the ten of us managed to find many places and hours in which we could gather and discuss — just .what? We aren ' t saying! On several occasions the Chi banner proudly and mysteriously watched over the crowd in the College Shop and chah lengmgly waved on the A. A. Field to remind the students that good sportsman- ship is a worthy trait. We donned our robes over our skeleton frames and took a walk on the Colonnade one night. It was raining, they say, but we were unaware because as you know no discomfort could ever dismay Chi ! In the spring, we had our coming- out party and threw a little one! Those who made their debuts that night were the following seniors: Violet Ritchie, Betty Jefferson, Marjorie Miller, Marga- ret Wall, Pete Patterson, Frances DeBerry, Adelaide Coble, and Annette Jones. In a more serious vein, we would like to express our sincere thanks to Miss Her and Mr. French for their close companion- ship, guidance, and support. Left to right: V. Ritchie, A.

Watson Male Student Government Association N, EAR the beginning of the school year 194S-49, there arose at the State Teachers College a new and different organization — different in the respect that its membership was composed of male students. It was on aTuesday in October that Dean Savage called a meeting of all the male students to see what they thought cf hav- ing some type cf organization. It turned out that all cf them were m favor of the idea. As a result of that meeting the fol- lowing officers were elected : James Stuart McGhee, president; Alger Rixie Southall, Jr., vice-president; and Joseph Stuart Johnson, secretary-treasurer. The organi- zation took the form of a student govern- ment association, each male student being a member. The purpose of the organization is to have some formal channel through which the needs and opinions of the men students can be voiced, as well as to set up for them a student government organization com- parable with that of the girls. Though this organization is small, it has taken some part in the activities of the school. The Male Student Government Association had a very attractive booth in the annual circus, and it sponsored in the main rec an informal dance which was a great success. Next year promises bigger and better things. During this year the association has laid the foundation for what it is striving to make m the near future a strong and large organization. The strength of the organization will be dependent upon the number and caliber of the men enrolled. It is the desire of this organization to rival that of the girls ' student body in size and strength. Officers, left to right: Wall, treasurer; Beard, vice-president; Pickett, president; Miss Her, adviser; Phillips, secretary Athletics A. A. Council A .T the beginning of the year we presented the annual sports demon ' stration for freshmen and new girls. This presentation was to foster an interest in the various sports on the campus. College hockey teams came here for a regional hockey tournament: Lynchburg College, Mary Washington College, and the Nor- folk Division of William and Mary. A group of best players was selected from these four teams to play in a combined Virginia College Hockey Tournament in Williamsburg. Five of our girls were chosen: Clem Allen, Anna Famulette, Jo Phipps, Betty Romeo, and Mary Young Clem was later selected to be captain of this combined team in Williamsburg. For the second year in succession, we included in our program of activities a Play Day for the high schools in Southside Virginia. The Farmville Athletic Association was program chairman for the newly organized Virginia Athletic Federation of College Women. Included in our yearly convention activities, we made plans to send two representatives to the national A.F.C.W. Convention, held in Madison, Wisconsin, in April. We feel that the year was a successful and happy one. Realizing that success is impossible without cooperation, we want to than every S.T.C. girl for her fine sportsmanship and interest. We also wish to thank Miss Her, our adviser, for without her ever faithful services, the year could not have been the success it was.

Starting the events were the games between the sister classes with the sophomores and seniors tying and the juniors winning over the freshmen. The real excitement began with the games be- tween Red ' n White and Green ' n White. The juniors defeated the sophomores, and the seniors beat the freshmen, thus bring- ing the score to a tie. In the last two games the competition was very keen be- cause these games were to be the deciding factors in awarding points for the color cup. With great team work shown by all, the Green ' n Whites came out on top! The seniors tied with the juniors, and the sophomores defeated the freshmen.

The spectators watched many fast and interesting games. The players were tops in sportsmanship and enthusiasm. Those reaching semi-finals were the following: Helen Agnew, Nan- eye Gillie, Anne Langbein, and Patsy Ritter. A, Hockey .FTER days of preparation and pep talks from Miss Her and the cap- tain Frances (Clem) Allen, the Varsity Hockey Squad won its only game of the season with Roanoke College. The good old Farmville Spirit ' ' was ever present throughout the season. Many songs and cheers led both the Green ' n White and Red n White teams on to a final tie in hockey points for the color cup. Left to right: M Miller, P.

Under her leadership and that of the captain, Patsy Ritter, the ' ' hose clad team en- joyed an undefeated season. The following is an account of the games that were played during the season and the final scores: S.T.C. 35, Bridge- water 15; S.T.C. 49, Lynchburg 39; S.T.C. 46, Roanoke 9; S.T.C. 38, Panzer 36. The climax of the season was the week- end we were hostesses to the basketball team from Panzer College of Physical Education, East Orange, New Jersey. During their stay, a picnic was held at Longwood, and a reception was given after the game for the two teams. The intramural basketball games ab ways provide much friendly rivalry be- tween the Greens and Reds, and this year even more excitement prevailed because the games ended in a tie. The freshmen, with Jean Ridenour as their captain, showed much promise for future games and were successful in defeating the seniors. The sophomores were undefeated this year, thus bringing the Green ' n Whites to a tie with the Red ' n Whites. They played with much spirit and sports- manship under the leadership of their captain, Ann Lynch. Norma Roady, as captain of the junior team, led an enthusi- astic group to a season of two wins and one loss. Much credit should be given to the senior team and their captain, Lee Robertson. They displayed as usual much fighting spirit as well as fine sportsman- ship. Monogram Club T. HE purpose of the Monogram Club is to stimulate interest in sports and to recognise athletic ability, scholar ship, and sportsmanship. Only those girls who we thmk are most outstanding m further- ing this purpose are selected as members. Color Rush found us busy making green and red hockey sticks to sell to each class. They added spirit and enthusiasm to each person as she sported her colors to the races and hockey games. Ray Phil- lips was in charge of our circus booth. The huge Bingo sign attracted many lucky players to our booth, which was decorated in blue and white with our two monograms hanging in the background. We sponsored Red and White Day on February 14 and Green and White Day on March 17 to enliven class spirit and sold hearts and shamrocks to class members on the respective dates. In February, Frances Allen, Katherine Buck, Anna Famulette, Mary Evelyn Miles, Norma Lou Roady, Lee Robertson, Betty Romeo, and Sue Walker were initi- ated into the Club. The day following initiation old and new members wore the club colors, blue and white, and their monograms. The other members included Patsy Ritter, president; B Hylton, secretary-treasurer; Winifred Beard, Ray Phillips, Jesse Lee Pickett, Joanne Ster- ling, and Betty Tilson. Miss Her was our ever-helpful adviser. First row, left to right: Tilson, Beard. Sterling Second row; R. Phillips, Hylton, Miss Her, Riccer, Pickett H,0 Club A: .T the first meeting of the HoO Club this year, with our president, Betty Tilson, presiding, we found it neces- sary to elect a new adviser and a secre- tary-treasurer to fill the positions vacated when Miss Dabney and Marjorie Beane did not return to school. Miss Barlow be came our new adviser, and Marjorie Bos- wick, our secretary-treasurer. Frances ' ' Clem ' ' Allen was our indispensable student adviser. Our biggest event of the year was the production cf the annual water pageant. Kitty Carmichael gave us our theme. King Neptune ' s Court, and she and Jesse Pickett became our co-directors. The pageant included a court of mermaids to entertain the king, and a frog and shark to frighten the mermaids. The main event was the wedding ceremony of King Nep - tune and a httle girl who dreamed she was under the sea. This year the class meets were held for two days instead of one, giving more people an opportunity to compete. In connection with the Red Cross, Life Saving Courses were again offered this year and taught by Clem Allen. In February our group was enlarged by thirteen new members, including the fol- lowing: Helen Agnew, Marian Beckner, Katherine Buck, Jean Cunningham, Nancy Gillie, Jean Oilman, Betsy Gravely, Ann Kemp, Liz Leslie, Ray Phillips, Jean Ride- nor, Jean Turner, and Nancy Walker. im Jill First row, left to right: Boswick.

November found us thinking about the major dance event, Dance Day, which would be the first of its kind in the State and which would serve as a guide for other colleges to follow. In early December we were hostesses to sixty-four high school girls of the surrounding area. Tryouts for the recital began in Janu ' ary. The month didn ' t seem long enough, and everyone clamored to be in the Vir- ginian, a study in formalism. I Sing — and Mountain Ballads were our favor- ites as well as the favorites of the audi- ences on that memorable night, Febru- ary 23. March found us trekking to the Arts Forum, where we presented Mountain Ballads. ' ' We shall never forget meeting, seeing, hearing, and working under Louis Horst, the most excellent of dancers. May Day came later than usual this year. River Legend was beautiful to us because our ' Virginian of recital became the court dance, as did Cotton Pickin — shifting to a plantation setting. The river theme so absorbed us because all of us were a part of it somewhere in the legend, that we almost forgot that we were In- dians here, too. We even made the gym over into an old plantation setting with the James flowing by, for May Day dance, which followed. Our capable officers were the following: president, Jane Taylor; treasurer, Ann Langbein; costume chairman, Marjorie Boswick. Our helpful and ever faithful adviser was Mrs. Emily K. Landrum. Bla2,er Awards Seated, left to right: L. Robertson, Pickett, Young Standing: Sterling, Romeo T, HE Athletic Association awards blazers each year to those seniors who have been outstanding in athletics during their college careers. These girls are selected by a committee which checks each record carefully, and awards are based on sportsmanship, variety of par ' ticipation, scholarship, and contribution to athletics throughout the years in college. The white blazer is the highest award and is received by those girls who have been outstanding in participation in a variety of sports. This year Jesse Lee Pickett was awarded a white blazer. The blue blazer is the second highest award and is received by those girls who have been outstanding in only one or two sports. Blue blazers went to Lee Robert ' son, Betty Romeo, Joanne Sterling, and Mary Young from the class of ' 49. Pan-Hellenic Council Seated, left to right; B. Ferguson, J.

Wall w, Sigma Sigma Sigma ITH a fond farewell to our homes, our friends, and Virginia Beach, we once again met at S.T.C. to begin another pleasant year as sister Sigmas. With a push and a shove, and a duster and a mop, we soon had the chapter room looking more like a room to be lived m than a storage house. Our first big thrill came over the results of our fall rushing. We got two more won- derful Sigmas -Margaret Ann Shelton and Laura Lee Stickley. The party we had for them was fun as usual. Ratch, Robbie, and Lizzie really outdid themselves with delicious chocolate nut sundaes. Our Christmas party in the chapter room was just as it always is — delightful. We had a tree and all the trimmings and exchanged presents by drawing names. Each gift had a humorous four-line poem attached. Sigma had its annual Christmas party for the children at John Randolph School before we went home for the holidays. We served them candy, fruit, and ice cream. Peggy Jane was just like Santa Claus himself, and Nancy Lee worked hard to plan everything, as she was social- service chairman. To see the eager and excited faces of the children did our hearts good. After New Year ' s, we returned with the thought of winter rushing. After the fine at home, we proudly claimed Joyce Clingempeel, Jean Ridenour, Conway Rice, Mary Jane Stansbury, Jean Carter Watkins, and Maricn Beckner as our own. The party for them the last night of rush- ing was happy and gay. We about popped our buttons when all the Sigma pulchritude came forth on the final May Day Ballot. Margaret Wall was elected Maid of Honor, and Mary Towles Waldrop, Evelyn Pete Patterson, Helen Hardin, Barbara Sours, Charlotte Jones, and Jean Ridenour are our members of May Court. Cupid, with a bucket load of diamond rings, swept around our corner and left Annette and Polly weighted down on the third finger left hand. Not only did he leave diamonds; his arrow moved Dolly Ann right in the church just before her January graduation, and plopped Bill ' s K. A. pin on our little Robbie. Deebie got a ring, too. Not a diamond, mind you, but one she thinks is just as pretty — Sonny ' s Phi Delt ring. Orchids go to Hank tor her wonder- ful job as chairman of Junior Dance; Pete, president of the Cotillion Club; Ann Verser, our Y vice-president; Lizzie, our Student Body treasurer; Nock, junior circus representative; and Snead, senior class treasurer. When our Founders Day came with the banquet of the alumnae and Mary Towles as chairman, we realized it was almost the end of the year and the end of the year always means our annual house party at Longwood. We played, ate, sang, and even shed a few together. We found in Miss Trent, our new ad- viser, a dear friend who was constantly willing to help and advise us. Without her steadfast assistance we couldn ' t have had such a successful year. First row, lett to right: Sours, li. J.

There seemed to be a sharp decrease in the size of the ranks, and it suddenly- dawned upon us, that because of the loss of ten graduates the preceding June and several underclassmen who didn ' t return, we had been reduced to eleven members. When fall rushing was over, however, we had added two new girls, of whom we felt justly proud: Denise Love and Helen Smith. Contrary to popular belief, thirteen was really a lucky number — for us, that is ! January 20 came at last, and the big secret was out! For in chapel that won ' derful Thursday morning. Dr. Lancaster made the official announcement that the local sorority of Gamma Theta was to become the reactivated Alpha Chapter of Kappa Delta. Needless to say, we were thrilled speechless ! We realized that there would be no more Gamma Theta, except m the hearts of those who had known and loved all for which it had stood through 38 years, and this realization brought sad ' ness to us. Never sad for a long time, though, we plunged into the work ahead of us with boundless enthusiasm. When we said thirteen was our lucky number, we weren ' t kidding! After much biting of fingernails and pulling of hair. during those four anxious days ot rush teas, we lined up our new pledges and counted. And guess what? Yep, there were thirteen of the most adorable girls imaginable — one for each of us. These are the gals we ' re really proud to call sis ' ters : Kitty Alexander, Helen Connelly, Mary Crawford, Charlotte Hall Davis, Penny Gilmer, Barbara Hankins, Dolores Hoback, Maria Jackson, Ruth Lacey, Lucy Jane Morton, Erma Poarch, Nancy Walthall, and Billie Woods. Our Big Weekend came on April 8, 9, and 10, when we were actually installed and initiated into Kappa Delta. We enter- tained at a reception in the Student Lounge and had with us several officers from the National Council of Kappa Delta and representatives from chapters comprising the Alpha Province. We were honored by the presence of campus officials, faculty, administration, and stU ' dents, and on the whole, we felt that Kappa Delta was off with a fine start. We also had our annual banquet at Longwood on this weekend and were very happy to have so many loyal Gamma Thetas back to be initiated into Kappa Delta with us. After all the excitement had passed, we realized that the year was almost over. We had spent a most enjoyable and suc- cessful year under the leadership of Jackie Watson, president; Frances Dodson, vice- president; Paulett Pifer, treasurer; and Adelaide Coble, secretary. Our most sin- cere thanks and tributes go to Miss Stubbs, our adviser, without whose un- tiring help and devotion, we would not enjoy our present success. We are also very grateful to Mrs. Packer, Mrs. Holla- day, and many other friends for their priceless interest and assistance.

Chic and Gillie swept m to get the chapter room cleaned up, and we were once more at home. There was hardly time enough to get in all the summer stones, but we did hear much about the week some of us spent at the beach. We were delighted to get the room redecorated. It was finished in November, and it looked marvelous. By the way, it still does. Fall rushing came, and we settled down to business. Everything went off well, and we were simply besides ourselves with joy when Jackie Moody and Louise Taylor pledged ASA. It could already be seen that we were in for a big year in Alpha Chapter. Senior Dance came in December with our own Violet leading the figure. Flowers to Betty Jefferson, too, for the excellent job she did as general chairman of the dance. It was a big success, as we all know. Another big moment came for us in the fall — circus! And guess who reigned as queen! Yes, sir, our Violet again. How that girl does get around! Also, she is president of Alpha Kappa Gamma this year. In November, our annual Founder ' s Day Banquet was held in the tea room. Some of our guests were Dr. and Mrs. Lan- caster and Dr. Walmsly. The after-dinner speeches were excellent, and the entire program was impressive. It certainly afforded us many good suggestions and much timely advice. Jane Taylor filled the job of mistress of ceremonies nicely. We were proud of our new Alpha Kappa Gamma girls this year — Jackie Wright and Ray Phillips. Keep up the good work, girls! After Christmas, rushing arrived, and we snapped into the old routine. The teas went off nicely, and we were overjoyed to welcome nine new pledges into our chap- ter: Martha Alice Wilson, Betsy Phillips, Norma Ready, Mary Brame, Nancy Houn- shell, Mary Miller, Shirley Livesay, Cathy Bunch, and Jackie Jardine. Jackie Jardine was president of the Freshman Class, and Shirley Livesay, president of the Fresh- man Commission. Roady ' ' was tapped for Alpha Kappa Gamma in February. Were we proud! We know they ' re all going to make grand A.S.A. ' s. Pan-Hel Dance was a big success. Inter- mission parties were held in each of the chapter rooms. As usual, the A.S.A. room was full to overflowing, and our Jane Taylor was right there as this year ' s Pan- Hel president — a good one, too, if we may say so. Before we knew it, the school year was at a close, and another fine record had been chalked up for Alpha Chapter of Alpha Sigma Alpha. In a way we hated to separate for the summer, but we could look forward to another year like the one of ' 48- ' 49. Our leaders for this year were the following: Tootsie Hamilton, presi- dent; Ray Phillips, vice ' president; B Hylton, secretary; Jackie Wright, treas- urer; and Miss Wall, our adviser, who was always there when we needed help and encouragement.

Smith, House T, Zeta Tau Alpha HIS year the most memorable event in the history cf our sorority took place. We began the year as a local soror- ity, a loyal group of twenty-four Mu Omegas. When we closed our chapter room this June, we were still elated and awed by the fact that we had become Zeta Tau Alphas. February 25 and 26 were history-making days in Farmville, because after forty-two years of growth and development on liberal arts campuses, Zeta Tau Alpha, international women ' s fraternity, came home to the place of its founding. This week-end marked our in- stallation as the re-estabhshed Alpha Chapter of Zeta Tau Alpha. The celebration began Friday with initiation services and the welcoming of members of the National Council and returning alumnae. In the evening there was an all-Zeta banquet at Longwood. Saturday afternoon Alpha Chapter was officially installed, and that night there was a formal reception in the Student Lounge honoring our national officers, the founders — and us! We were honored during this week-end with the presence of the National Presi- dent of Zeta Tau Alpha, Miss Helen M. Harrison, of Los Angeles, CaUfornia, other national officers, two founders, Mrs. S. B. Batte and Miss Frances Yancey Smith, and Zetas from near-by colleges. It was wonderful having with us for several weeks Miss Wanda Garver, na- tional field secretary, and Miss Jean Dunn, chapter counselor, who helped us to plan and prepare for the future. Last October 15, the Zetas celebrated their Golden Anniversary here at our college. A plaque honoring the founders was dedicated to the college, and $500 was given to the Jarman Organ Fund. During the winter rush season we added six new pledges to our group : Sara Creger, Roanoke; Shirley Fahrback, Crewe; Nancy Garbee, Lynchburg; Jeanne Gilman, Dum- fries; Charlotte Sears Jones, Petersburg; and Lucy Thornhill, Culpeper. In the spring we had our last Mu Omega home- coming celebration. At this time many ot the Mu Omega alumnae were initiated into Zeta Tau Alpha, thus continuing the close bonds of love and friendship that have always existed between the college and alumnae chapters. Not only was the Zeta affiliation an incentive for them to return, but a sad occasion drew them also. We were to bid farewell to Miss Leola Wheeler, our loyal and beloved adviser since the very beginning of Mu Omega. Her firm but loving guidance has helped make us a closely knit sisterhood, ever striving for higher ideals and greater serv- ice. Not only will her babies tearfully watch her depart, but the gap left m the faculty will be hard to fill. Her tireless energy was an inspiration to all who worked under her in many organizations and committees. Officers ot the fraternity were Jean Cake, president; Helen Holbrook, vice- president; Margaret Beasley, secretary; Annette Snead, treasurer; Charlotte Wil- lis, historian, and Harriet Butterworth, guard. Our patrons are Dr. and Mrs. C. G. G. Moss. First row, left to right; Farley, Lyon, Shelor, Camper, F.

We all got busy when it was found, however, and ended with a shining and bright room just beg ' ging for guests. With the room clean and lovely, we still had our hands full getting ready for our District Convention held here during the last week in October. Our convention was a big success. We loved our sisters from the other colleges in this district and really got to know them well by the time we had given a tea, a banquet, and a Sunday morning coffee in their honor. Fall rushing next occupied our minds and brought us Sue Brewbaker and Peg Peery as our newest pledges. They have made wonderful Pi Kaps! The morning of November 17 found us gathered in our chapter room at seven to have our Founders ' Day ceremony. Still half ' asleep we then invaded the College Shoppe downtown, and there awoke enough to eat enormous breakfasts. The Pi Kap spirit was really in evidence the entire day of our celebration. Our own Marjorie Miller, president of Student Government, served as general chairman of the dance sponsored by that organization in October. Ruthellen Mears was in charge of the flowers and invita ' tions for Fall Cotillion given in November. Examinations and winter rushing claimed all cf our attention when we got back from Christmas. We were thrilled and delighted with our nine new pledges : Barbara Brown, Mary Helen Cook, Sally Droste, Lucylle- Humphries, Jerry Kor- bach, Kakie McCready, Anne Mitchell Motley, May Henry Sadler, and Frances Turner. After the ribbon ceremony for these girls, we had a delightful party for them combined with a surprise birthday party for Miss Her, our adviser. The year just flew by after rushing. Pat Davis, our Pan-Hellenic representa- tive, was general chairman cf the Pan-Hel dance held in March. We had a marvelous time, particularly when our favorite music was played. We were proud ct Pat tor her capable planning of the whole affair. Our own president, pretty Ruthellen Meats, was chosen as queen to reign over May Day exercises this year. ' ' Boo Atkinson, Marjorie Miller, Maude Sa- vage, and Frances Turner added Pi Kap beauty to the queen ' s court. Many other Pi Kaps participated in the May Day program. Ruthellen ' s beauty was recog- nized by the boys in Chi Phi fraternity at Hampden-Sydney m the spring when she was elected their ' ' Sweetheart of 1949. ' In June we had our farewell party for the seniors. With deep gratitude and many thanks we paid tribute to Miss Olive Her, our capable adviser; our patrons, Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Graham; and to our oiiicers of the year: Ruthellen Meats, president; Joyce Webb, vice-president; Mary Ellen Temple, recording secretary; Dee Dee Sleed, corresponding secretary; Nancy Rushing, treasurer, and Pat Davis, Pan- Hellenic representative.

That was the question that confronted us when we started fall house cleaning. Miracu- lously everyone claimed her stored pos ' sessions plus her inheritances, and the A.S.T. room ceased to look like a ware- house. The Pan-Hellenic tea in September was our first social event. June Banks enter- tained everyone with her performance at the piano. Fall rushing came next, and with It two perfect sisters, Ann Mundy and Nancy Roberson, whom we all adore. The high spot of October was a most wel- come visit of our Nantiona l President, Mrs. Mamie Haekle. Her praise of Zeta Tau Chapter and her helpful criticism did much to boost our buoyant spirits. To add to the color of the occasion we had recov- ered our furniture in chautreuse and forest green. Founder ' s Day found many alumnae at our banquet in the tea-room and many more at the informal party that followed in the chapter room. We shall never forget the wonderful intermission parties nor the holiday ones. Especially memorable was the Christmas party with Miss Bedford, our adviser, and Miss Nichols, our sponsor, as honor guests. Miss Nichols held us spellbound with her tale of The Little Angel and even brought tears to eyes of some. Our sadness was quickly dispelled, however, when we unwrapped our exchange pres- ents, which ranged from toy water pistols to French poodle dogs. After the thrill of Christmas we re- turned to find that Nancy Cooke and Peggy German would not be coming back. We really have missed them. Millie Ann Spain ' s wedding on January 29 was a bright spot in our month following ex- aminations. The seniors were also guests in January at a dinner and bridge party given by Betty Lee Pairet for Leddie Foster. A.S.T. was honored when our own Griz Bo.xley was chosen Sweetheart of Sigma Chi at the University of Virginia. Spring brought five new Tau babies, whom we welcome with open arms into Tau Heaven. They are Margaret Hutch- ens, Gerry Newman, Marty Miller, Em- ma Mae Pittard, and Sally Brickman. How lucky can we be! May Day was beautiful. Janie Fox, Marjorie Boswick, and June Banks added to the loveliness of the Queen ' s Court. Janie Fox also represented S.T.C. as a princess at the Apple Blossom Festival m Winchester. In June we bade a sad farewell to oui seniors: Jackie Bobbitt, Jean Watts, Love Bentley, Janie Fox, our president, Gwen Smith, Nancy Jessee, Ann Robinson, Nancy Roberson, Betty Lee Pairet, Ann Barksdale, Betty Tilson, and Gns Boxley. We shall never forget them; AST love will follow them wherever they may go. The year ' 49 is truly a memorable one for the green and yellow. n August we shall celebrate the golden anniversary of AST ' s founding at Ypsilanti, Michigan, and look forward to an even more glorious future.

We then started to make plans for our tenth year with high hopes of Its being our best yet. Theta Sig had a proud and memorable career to guide us! Fall rushing brought us seven new baby Tau sisters. Georgia, Page, Evelyn, Ann P., Polly, Gm, and Ann S. were weh corned into our happy circle. Proud we were when we were again awarded the scholarship plaque at the Pan-Hellenic tea. Several cf our outstanding girls added to the glory of Theta Sig. Anne Owen, our president, also served as president of F.T.A.; Anne Langbein was editor of the Colonnade; Polly Nasser represented STC at the Alpha Phi Sigma convention at St. Louis during the summer and was essay editor of the Colonnade; Virginia Spencer was president of Alpha Phi Sigma; and Jean Hogge directed the Madrigal singers. These are but a few of the many organiza ' tions in which our girls are well repre ' sented. Winnie Beard was elected to be sent m as Theta Girl from Tau chapter. Her qualifications were outstanding, and we all hope she will come out on top. Our Christmas party, given by the pledges, offered us an opportunity for fun and fellowship. It also gave the pledges a chance to become better acquainted with Miss Jennings, our ever-faithful adviser, and Mrs. McCoy, our Mother-Patroness. Instead of exchanging gifts, each of us brought a toy to be sent to the Presby- terian Orphanage. We then concentrated on second sem- ester rushing, and our efforts were well rewarded. We welcomed Max, Ann B., Lucy, Margaret, June, Branchie, Joy, Ellen, Zella, Bev, and Maxine as our very own. On April 2, we celebrated our Found- ers ' Day with a banquet m the Tea Room and a house party at Longwood. Our singing, talking, and joking with our Tau alumnae climaxed a wonderful evening! The Pan-Hellenic Dance brought many ot our alumnae back, also. Our no-break dance with the OAO to the melody of our Tau song ot the year left us with many heart-warming memories. Plans were made for the national convention to be held at French Lick Springs, Indiana. A grand time was planned, and it was hoped that several cf us could go. The spring picnic at Longwood was more tun than ever before and provided a superb ending to a grand year in Theta Sig. Plans tor the house party at Virginia Beach lessened our sadness at the seniors ' departure, for we knew we ' d be seeing them soon again. We bade farewell to each other with many happy moments to put m our scrapbook of memories to cherish in our hearts. Our officers for the year were Ann Owen, president; Winnie Beard, vice- president; Dot Dodd, secretary; Harriet Bowling, treasurer; Nell Foster, historian; and Anne Langbein, editor.

Being back tO ' gether was so wonderful that even clean- ing the room was fun. While hanging pictures and curtains and rearranging the furniture, we learned what each had done during the summer vacation. The middle of October brought us a beautiful radio- VIC that put the final touch to our room. We are proud of the five charming girls who joined us after fall rushing. They are Dorothy Caldwell, Esther Goffigon, Betty Romeo, Joanne Sterling, and Jean Webb. At the pledge party, there were gales of laughter when each pledge entertained us with her talent. Esther won the prize for her presentation of the Pepsi-Cola song as only she can sing it. Senior Dance was the best ever. We shall not forget the intermission party with the seniors in their lovely white dresses. Before we knew it, Christmas was upon us. Gay parties with Santa as our guest of honor gave us the holiday spirit and Romeo ' s green convertible, Juliet. We proudly claimed Pat Donnally, Phyllis George, Peggy Harris, and Vir- ginia Dare Woody as pledges after winter rushing. As an added event, we celebrated our Founder ' s Day m March. Many alum- nae were back. There was a general feeling of fellowship as we reminisced over old times and made new plans for the future. It was a weekend of good talk, good food, good fun, and good friends. Laura Jean, president of the YWCA; Edna Earle, president of Beorc Eh Thorn and business manager of the VIRGIN- IAN; and Esther high-lighted the year by announcing their engagements. We beamed at Joanne, captain of the volley- ball team, and Betty Romeo, captain of the senior class hockey team, as we all went out to support our colors. The party for our seniors was one to remember. We all felt that this had been one of our best years. With Miss Hiner as our beloved adviser, we accomplished much for which we had worked hard. The officers for the year were Connie Loving, president; Mary Davis, vice- president; Ruth Radogna, recording sec- retary; Ann Nichols, corresponding secre- tary; Helen Owins, treasurer; Edna Earle Waters, Pan - Hellenic representative; Anne Joyner, historian; Patsy Kimbrough and Ruth Hathaway, co-social chairmen.

Within these pages we have attempted to present a gHmpse of life at S.T.C. If the year is relived each time you open this book, we shall have accomplished our purpose. Our job was lightened by the help of various individuals and groups whom we wish to thank: Andre Studio of Lexington, Virginia, for making our individual and group pictures. Lynchburg Engraving Company for their aid in drawing up our layout and art work. To Mr. M. L. Glover goes a special word of appreciation for his suggestions and help. J. P. Bell Company of Lynchburg, Virginia, for printing our book, and especially to Mr. W. L. Burton for his constant aid and advice. Our Faculty Advisers, Miss Virginia Bedford, Miss Nancy Foster, and Mr. T. A. McCorkle, without whose help in the art, literary, and production line, wc would not have been able to produce this VIRGINIAN. The Student Body, Faculty, and Administration, whose lively interest gave us the incentive to work. And last, but not least, go our thanks to an excellent staff, especially Joyce Webb, Helen Kaknis, and Helen Agnew, who gave freely of their time and who will produce the next VIRGINIAN.
