Our seven high school seniors may be minor “tornadoes and human “noisemakers, but with their irresistible high spirits and generous natures, and even despite their mischievous pranks, we consider them a vigorous and wel¬ come addition to our M arion College life. Our lucky seven have worked harmoniously to¬ gether under the direction and with the support of Miss Sophie Fischel, class sponsor. . President . Vice President . Secretary . Treasurer The high school seniors, together with the juniors, cooperated to give us one of the best dances of our social season, our informal spring dance. The following organizations have been strengthened through the participation of various members of the senior high school class: The Footlight and Fantasy Club, Girls’ Athletic Association, the Cheerleading Squad, Student Council, the Hatchet and the Squib. 4 20 } Migk School Seniors Josephine Aker “Jo MARION, VIRGINIA Elizabeth Lucille Grissom “ Ill’ll!

Holding first place among the organiza¬ tions at Marion College is the Student Council, consisting of a president, vice president, secre¬ tary, treasurer and Y. V. C. A. president, who were elected at the close of the previous school year; and class and non-resident repre¬ sentatives, who were sworn in soon after our school term opened. . . . . President I ice President . Secretary ... Treasurer The aims of this council are to uphold student honor, enforce all rules without par¬ tiality, and maintain the respect of both students and faculty. Adding new rules and changing old ones when it saw the need, this 1949-50 governing body successfully carried out its aims. To its members each Marion student owes great appreciation for a whole¬ some and worth-while year. Student Mom Court Leaii Bonham . ' huinnan Alice Carr . Secretary The organization upholding Marion College ideals and standards is the Student Honor Court. This Court maintains justice in the Student Honor System and deals with special cases given il by the Student Council. An amendment, stating that any girl brought to trial before the Honor Court and found guilty should be removed from any office which she might hold, was passed by the 1949-50 Court. Membership in this Court is considered one of the outstanding honors on the campus. The three members of the Court were Leah Bonham, Betty Bagwell and Alice Carr.

Represented on I lit staff are students from the high school and junior and senior college departments. Soon after the entire staff was selected in September, preparations for our book were started. Our page plans were drawn up and solicitation for advertisements and subserip- I ions begun. Of course we had our bad days when ads and subscriptions came in slowly and when we thought we could never finish the dummy by the deadline date. However, with our school backing us and with encouragement from our advisor, M iss Virginia Wall, we kept working and slowly but surely our 11 T( ' ll et took shape. Although we had our trials, we enjoyed every minute spent in work on our annual. To each of you the staff wishes to say, “ t hank you” for making this publication possible. d 27 (First Row, Seated) Ross, Umberger, Van Sant (Second Row ) Jones, Troxell, Howell, Yowell ( Third Row, Standing Hyde, Carrico, Dcncan, Lucas y w. e. x Marjorie Umberger.

Weekly meet¬ ings were held in the parlors at which time religions, social and personal problems were discussed. The first function of the Y. W. was to aid in the orientation program. During the President . Vice President . Secretary . Treasurer year the Y. W. sponsored dances, weekly candlelight meditations, the Kid Party, Cap¬ sule Sister Week and birthday banquets. The meetings and other activities were planned at the cabinet meetings with the helpful guidance of the advisors, Mrs. Edith Mumper and Miss Joyce Hoffman. -Si 28 fr- Cutkemn Student Association Dorothy Ross Rebecca Messer.

Secretary Treasurer Member at Large The Lutheran Student Association at M; irioii College is an organization open to all Lut lieran students. Its purpose is to strengthen the relationship of the Lutheran students with t heir church. Idle L. S. A. advisors for the past year were M iss M ay Scherer, M iss Helen Creager and I’astor J. Luther Mauney. Once each month on Sundae evenings the interested group gathered at Miss Scherer’s home, “Rosemont,” for supper, after which devo¬ tions and programs on various religious topics were held. The regional meeting of the L. S. A., “Little Ashram, was held at a camp on Hungry Mother Lake near Marion, thereby enabling a number of Marion L. S. A.ers to attend this inspired gathering. The Virginia area meeting in Williamsburg was also at¬ tended by representatives from Marion. Through local, area and regional programs and contacts the Lutheran Student Associa¬ tion trained students in a better understanding of the Bible and helped ecpiip them for church leadership. -d 29 !: (First Row) Yowell, Tressel, .Tones, Minnick, Arentz (Stroud Row) Meek, Tussing, Greenwood, .Jones, Brown, Mrs. Fray (Not Pictured) Buchanan, Tilson M issionary Society Betty Mae Yowell. .June Buchanan.

The Missionary Society, an organization whose main endeavor is to arouse an interest in home and foreign mission work, undertook a study of Japan as its principal theme of discussion for the year. Mrs. Chitose Ivishi, a Japanese missionary, brought the students a vivid picture of occupied Japan as it is today. Later in the school year Germany and India were chosen as discussion topics. During the year members of the Society sponsored a clothing drive. The proceeds from . President . Vice President . Secretary . Treasurer this project were donated to needy families of nearby communities. This organization sponsored both the Thank Offering and the World Day of Prayer programs for the entire student body and faculty. Under the capable leadership of its officers and sponsor, Mrs. John 11.

Under the capable direction of Miss Sophie Fischel, the girls practiced diligently in the nippy air in preparation for the first game. Finally the long-awaited day arrived, and the teams and their supporters gathered on the field for the first game. Both teams were . Co-Captains Co-Managers so equally matched that neither was able to score, and the contest ended in a tie. After two other games resulting wi th the same score, points for the color cup were divided equally between the Purple and Gold teams, making the race even closer for the prized cup. The Varsity team played three games— two with Virginia Intermont College in Bristol and one with Roanoke College in Salem. 4 40 } Basketball Katherine Dunn . Lillian Meek Dorothy McMurray V.

Even the beginners, under the skillful direction of Miss Fischel and her student helpers, were soon delivering backhand smashes with ease. For the first time at Marion College, tennis took the rank of a major sport. In addition to the Purple and Gold tournament, a Varsity team was formed and intercollegiate matches held. I his progress is one step in the development of sports activities as a vital part of Marion College life. 4 42 } Softball “You ' re mil !

Players almost forgot the heat in their intense efforts to hit a home run for the team.” Softball, like tennis, became a major sport at M arion this year, and the enthusiasts of this all-American pastime went into the games with all the spirit of Big Leaguers. I nder the guidance of Miss Fisehel, the Varsity team was formed, and intercollegiate games were the stellar attraction at M.

Rivalry was keen in ping-pong, badminton and other indoor sports. The contests were close and always exciting to participants and spectators. As the weather grew warmer, the two teams again took to the outdoors where archery took the minor sports spotlight. By this time points were so equally divided be¬ tween the two teams, and competition so keen, that it was anyone’s guess as to the outcome. • 5f 44 Zhe Marion Meal .. . . . is to care for what is rather than for what seems; to be loyal to what is best in the tradi¬ tions of the past and yet open to the discoveries of the present and the hopes of the future; to find freedom in knowledge of the truth, beauty in the common sphere of daily living; joy in love and friend¬ ship, and strength in constructive service; to play happily and work honestly; to believe in God and God ' s children, and to serve where service is most needed.
