THE EDITORIAL STAFF m a ■ ' -• THE HATCHET 1963 FOREWORD The appreciation felt by the Class of 1963 for Marion College, and all tlm dwells therein, cannot be expressed in words. It is felt with hearts that have learned to accept. Opportunities have been afforded us for which we are grate-ful. Wc arc inspired, moved, and pensive. Two years are gone. We now take another step toward the adult world, realizing that our success will depend not on where we stand, but in which direction we are moving. CONTENTS Classes Organizations Sports Features DEDICATION MISS ALICE MOERK Now she fixed on us her hopes reposed. Each of her four years disclosed the energy and spirit projected by an individual wholeheartedly concerned with the education and welfare of each student at Marion College. Grand music echoed as she instilled creativity and appreciation of this fine art in others. Sensitivity, strong character, effervescence for life, compassion, and a surpassing warmth are hers, and she gives of them freely. A dedication well deserved to Miss Alice Moerk. Peace be with you. 6 MISS MARION Thelma Nadine Broome Our daughters may be as corner stones, polished after the similitude of a palace: Psalm 144:12b 4 7 John H. Fray, D.D. President FROM THE PRESIDENT An old Arabian proverb summarizes some of the basic values derived from a college education: Four things alone support the world; the learning of the wise, the justice of the great, the prayers of the righteous, and the valor of the brave”. If we have helped you to become acquainted with these values this year our efforts have been rewarded and you have become a worthy alumna of Marion College. { 8 Margaret Humphrey Dean of Women FROM THE DEAN Through daily experiences we learn that education is the key to many tilings. Participation in the great venture of learning teaches the art of decision. Education prepares an individual for life; it is obtained through work and life is perpetual work. May your memories and experiences of the past year be rewarding and serve as a beginning for a lifetime of service to humanity. 9 ADMINISTRATION Edith G.

We have survived the exams, the disappointments, the heartaches, and we have enjoyed the established friendships, happiness and all-around fun. Term papers, senior weekend, secrets, tests, secrets, tests, work, tests, May Day, and finally, graduation produce a memorable year for all of us. Our venture to White Top Mountain with Mrs. Gladys Tindall, our advisor, and her scrumptious spaghetti provided relaxation and the opportunity for unification within our class for the months of work and play that followed. We have worked hard to promote the spirit and tradition of Marion College. Our aspirations, fears, joys, and sorrows were all expressed in our everyday life. We have gained experience, knowledge, and a realization of truth, unity, and fraternity. We must depart—nostalgic? Yes, but with eager anticipation of the future. 4 18 K SENIORS Patricia Ann Anderson Troutdale, Virginia General Culture lilemcntary Education Hilda Darleyne Box Marion, Virginia General Culture Elementary Education Elainr Barbara Basf.hoar Littlescown, Pennsylvania General Culture Elementary Education Andrea Josephine Becker Roanoke, Virginia General Culture Elementary Education Annf.

Cathy Larsen..................................................................President Betsy McAllister.........................................................Vice President Jackie Smith..................................................................Secretary Willie Houck..................................................................Treasurer We, the juniors, look back to see the doors close on a wonderful year at Marion College. Our Big Sis” and the helpful faculty have guided us toward a high point in our lives. We have learned the true meaning of responsibility and leadership through classes, organizations, and activities. The hard college work, alternated with camp fires, picnics on the porch and at the park, dances, banquets, song fests, and movies in the auditorium, are all part of our year. Through these experiences, we established lasting friendships and learned, not only the importance of academic work, but to cope with life in its entirety. Marion College's traditions and ideals helped to make us better citizens with stronger characters for the future. 28 Beverly Bradshaw Jill Brauman Camilb Bridget Jo Ann Broshar Emily Carlson Sue Carwile Karen Casterline Judith Coffman Jane Conrad I.inda Davis Jean Dikeman Betsy Donges Anne Dressler 29 } Judith Sheila Ellington Peggy Sue Fannin Gail Fitzpatrick Elizabeth Flynn Lois Forsberg Patsy Funk Norman Goodman Myra Gottleib Carol Grimm Sara Hacki-nberg Nancy Hackett Carolyn Haga Ann Hammond Charlotte Harden Susie Hart Patricia Hartman Bonnie Henricks 4 30 ) Bi-tty Holsingfr Ann Hootman Junk Huff Lbatta Jones Sherrie Kemp Cathy I.arsen Emily Lhfferts Joyce Lbuhbrs Margaret Leuthner Vonnie Linglf.

Aline Graybeai........YWCA Lois Wilson .... President Vice President .... Secretary .... Treasurer Representative Quiet! Can't you return that at 10:00? Shush! It’s quiet hours! .... Sound familiar? Yes, that's the Student Council at it again What is the Student Council? It is the executive council of the Student Government Association, and it is composed of the officers and representatives of the Association, who arc elected annually by the Student Body. We are given the privilege of self-government and it is our responsibility to uphold the purpose of the Student Government Association as stated in the constitution: To preserve student honor, to maintain high A.

Fitzpatrick, S. Reeves college standards, to uphold the honor of the college, to encourage responsibility and loyalty to the student body, and to enforce the regulations adopted by the Association.” Yes, this is our responsibility. We must carry it out to the best of our ability. It is not always pleasant. Many times we must say No” when we would like to say Yes”, because we must consider what is best for the majority even though there are exceptions. When there are exceptions, we must make the decisions. The Gestapo, as the Student Council is popularly called, is not here to see how many demerits can be given, or how many people can be caught. We are not a spy organization! Rather, we are a link between the Student Body and the administration. We are not infallible, we arc only human, but we are this link. We might be compared to a wheel. The Student Council is the spokes, and all of this is held together by the administration, which is the rim of the wheel. The Student Council is not a dictatorship, but a democracy. It welcomes suggestions and criticism from the Student Body. Believe it or not, the Student Council is your servant and your friend. The duties and responsibilities of the Student Council are varied, challenging, and unlimited. We are at the command of the Student Body day and night, and we do our best to make decisions that are wise and in keeping with the standards that we are here to uphold. Our purpose, desires, and aims, though not always attained, are best expressed in the Marion Ideal. 37 } YOUNG WOMEN'S Aline Graybeal, Co-President Lois Wilson, Co-President The Y.W.C.A. at Marion College includes the entire student body. By constantly working together throughout the year, this organization helps to make college life memorable. Since it is a Young Woman's Christian Association, its main purpose is to achieve a deeper understanding and expression of Christian fellowship among the students. The Y” begins its functions with orientation week, and proceeds throughout the year. Its first major activity is the formal tea during which students and faculty meet. Following this is the recognition service where the student body honors those girls who have been elected to cabinet positions. The festive occasion of Cap Sis week is remembered by all as a barrel of fun produced from one small capsule. The remainder of the year is filled with birthday banquets, informal sings, the Thanksgiving Banquet, and the Y” Christmas Dance. Binding all this together is the candlelight meditations which help strengthen the Christian movement on the Marion College campus. 38 } CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION Left to right: A. Graybeal, L.

Sloop HONOR COURT Margaret Peery, Nadine Broome, Theresa Lyerly Honor in its truest sense and as it relates to life at Marion College, involves all that Christ taught concerning duty to self and to one another in thought, word, and deed.’’ It has been the sincere purpose of the court to promote honor in the lives of the students by putting each student on her honor. She learns to gain respect for herself and others. Most important, the honor system at Marion College teaches honor on an individual basis which helps to begin a foundation for the years ahead. 4 40 K- PHI THETA KAPPA David Snider.....................................Vice President David Snider................................Secretary Donna Rosen.................................Treasurer Nadine Broome.................................Council Member Wisdom, honor, and aspiration are the standards symbolized by the Greek letters, l 0 K. The purpose of the society is to promote scholarship, to develop character and to cultivate fellowship among the students of both sexes of the junior colleges of the United States.” This society means a great deal to every student who has ever been a part of its work. There is a certain feeling of accomplishment found by each. Many times the honor conferred upon the student is an inspiration to work for bigger and better things. 'Hie student's purpose is to encourage the scholarly atmosphere of the college and to aid in any possible way the growth of the academic standards. Anne Calhoun, President Margaret Perry.

Worsham Layouts, copy, art, features, snaps, a lot of elbow grease, and a sincere desire to present the student body with a living record of a most memorable year represents what is known at MC as the Hatchet. Linda Freer frantically works for deadlines and the final touch ups. Aline Graybeal organizes layouts time and time again. JoJo Schermerhorn writes copy, copy, and more copy. Willie Houck juggles the books and solicits any way-faring stranger for ads”. PANIC, riot, and just plain fun help to make the Hatchet a success—for the staff as well as the student body. A smattering of each of us is contained in this our yearbook for 1963. The personalities of over 170 students are displayed in some form or another. Our highs and lows, the big events and the small ones, are held within the bindings of the Hatchet. Our editor made it what it is and we, the staff, express through these pages our thoughts and feelings for Marion College. First row, left to right: S. Trent, B. Gibson, F. Rodgers, J. Finarsen, B.

Worsham The Squib, under the able and sometimes frantic leadership of Gayle Roberts and her staff, underwent a complete face lifting. The Squib was published four times during the year with a new layout and several new columns in addition to the regular columns that reported the latest news of the various events throughout the year. Candy canes accompanied the Christmas issues to our doors. The April Fool’s issue was a surprise to all including the editor who feared that she would be tarred and feathered. The Commencement issue depicted the memorable events of our final days at Marion College. The entire staff diligently worked toward creativity of ideas and deadlines under the direction of Mrs. Tindall, sponsor. With her guidance the Squib's diversified articles, heads and cuts were smoothed together to give us a quarterly record of our year. First row, left to right: C. Bridget, B. Holsinger, M.

GOTT AS } THE A CAPPELLA CHOIR Ann Hale, President One of the prides of Marion College is the A Cappella Choir under the direction of Miss AliccMoerk. Whether on risers singing in performance, quartetting, or sharing in fun, the choir is bound by the common purpose of presenting a worship experience in song. Following tryouts in September, the choir began to prepare for the Thanksgiving program, the Twilight Musicalc, the Christmas program, the presentation of the Pergolesi Stabat Mater” as a special Lenten program, spring tour, and finally Baccalaureate and Commencement. In addition to other projects, including a recording, the freshman choir members turned to folk song for May Day. Tour, the year's highlight, took the choir to the Shenandoah Valley. Unforgettable days were spent singing, traveling, sightseeing, and eating fried chicken! Closing the activities of the year was the annual choir picnic—a combination of food, hiking, and softball. Here was found the summation of a year of laughter, work (to the tune of look it over”, quartet,” scramble”, 99 bluff , just for kicks , and are there any questions, comments or criticisms?), and fellowship. This is the A Cappella Choir of Marion College. First row: J. Tomey, J. Roundtree, A. Hammond, P. Friis, B. Snydf.r, G. Sadler, C. Wohlford, A. Moerk. Second row: ). Woolford, S. Kemp, J. Broshar, B.

It is one of the oldest clubs at Marion College. The motto of the Missionary Society is To give where service is most needed.” The society extends its helping hand to those in need in the far corners of the earth through the student body’s Thank Offering an.l the observance of World Week of Prayer. During the Lenten season, chapel programs are given by the Missionary Society. The purpose of this organization is to promote Christian college life among fellow students. First row: N. Broome, P.

To promote Christian fellowship and growth through guidance in daily Christian living is the aim of the Lutheran Student Association. Here at Marion College the LSA creates and strives to maintain the Christian ideals and purposes of Marion College. Under the guidance of Miss Katherine Engelhard, the LSA members sponsored a midnight Christmas program, attended a district meeting held at Radford, and gave inspirational programs throughout the year. The activities of the LSA arc varied and combine Christian instruction with fellowship and fun. Terry Lyerly... Betsy Snyder ... Sue Reeves...... Gail Fitzpatrick _____President Vice President ....

If not, then you’d better hop on the bandwagon and join the Fine Arts Society!! Although this is only its second year of existence, the Fine Arts Society, under the leadership and guidance of Miss Sheffey and Miss Moerk, has maintained its tradition of being both informative and help, ful to the students. The main event which the Fine Arts Society sponsored this year was a presentation of Pergolesi’s Stetbett Mater by the Music department.
