Represent- ing the stateliness of Greek architecture, they are truly a part of old Virginia and a credit to those who attend the college. For these reasons we have chosen as our theme THE SEVEN LAMPS OF ARCHITEC- TURE. As the light of these lamps illumines the buildings, they become real symbols of the college life within. We hope that our use of art and poetry in combining the magnificence of the structures with the spirit behind them will preserve the memory of, not only, the work and good times, but the beauty of the college, as well.

She is truly the one who has brought coherence to all activities on the campus. Seldom a day goes by that someone does not drop by her office to pick up bits of information about work, grades, or general scholastic facts. It is to her that we dedicate this, the BLUESTOCKING OF 1948, in hopes of express- ing our gratitude for all that she has done for and meant to us.

Ii was first located in rooms over a cabinet-maker ' s shop on the corner of New Street and Court House Alley; shortly after, it was moved to the Craig house on Greenville Avenue. Two years later the new school was moved to the presenl Administration Building. Mr. Bailey remained Principal of the Seminary until 1849. Under his gui- dance, the principles of high and sound standards, for which the institution was in be known throughout the years, were formulated, In 1863, Miss Mary Julia Baldwin and Miss Agnes McClung took over the supervision of the institution. Miss Baldwin overcame the educational difficulties brought about by the Civil War, and through her resourcefulness and determi- nation, the work of the Seminary continued when every other school in this section of the country was forced to close, .Miss Baldwin served as Principal for thirty-four years and during that time the academic level of the courses was raised until the curriculum for the higher i lasses was paralleled to that of the standard colleges and universities. In 1895, the name of the institution was changed to Mary Baldwin Seminar) by an act nf the Legislature of Virginia. Following the death of .Miss Baldwin, the Seminary continued to prosper under the leadership of Miss Ella P. Weimar and later under Miss Marianna P. Higgins. In 1914, Mary Baldwin became a junior college, and finally a four year college in 1923, when the name was changed to Mary Baldwin College. As a standard liberal arts college, Mary Baldwin has had three presidents. They are Dr. A. M. Fraser, who became President in 1923. Dr. I.. Wilson Jarman, President from 1929 until his retirement in 1946 and Dr. Frank Bell Lewis who was inaugurated as the third President on November 18, I ' M . Her Founders ' dreams were fulfilled, when Mary Baldwin College was ad- mitted to full membership in the Southern Association of Colleges and Secon- dary Schools, the Association of American Colleges, and the American Council on Education. In 1938 the institution was placed on the approved li-t of the Association of American Universities and in l ' Md became a member of the American Association of University Women. L.

She was, indeed, a natural choice for the presidency of the Y. W. C. A. her senior year, as well as being a mem- ber of the Student Council and the Presidents ' Forum. She was inter- ested in several different clubs — es- pecially the Biology Club of which she was a member both her sopho- more and junior years. Ginny has been active in all church activi- ties, and served as president of the college Sunday School Class her sophomore year. This lovable lass from Maryland has won a place in the hearts of all of us, and we cer- tainly arc going to miss her friendly smile next vear. M) MILDRED EARL ANDERSON Jacksonville, Florida Candidate for Bachelor of Arts Degrt Sociology We could always count on Mena coming back in September from her beloved Florida with a positively lush sun-tan. There arc many other things that we will remember and miss about this lov- able senior. She was chosen to be an usher for two years; she was vice-president of the junior class, as well as being a Freshman Advis- er. Her senior year she was house president of Martha Riddle follow- ing in the footsteps of her sister. She took an interest in the various clubs on campus, especially the Spa- nish Club and the International Re- lations Club. Mena has defini- tely won a place in the hearts of all during her four years at Mary Baldwin. 31 HELEN DOUGLAS ATKESON Washington, District of Columbia Candidate for Bachelor of Arts Degree Sociology Helen of the friendly disposition and undying energy has led a full and intriguing life while at Mary Baldwin. Her ability to lead is clearly shown by the fact that she was asked to be a Freshman Advis- er both her sophomore and junior years. She has served on various Y committees and was a frequent contributor to Campus Comments. Helen was the very able president of Hill Top this year, a member of the Student Council, and on the Cabin Committee. Not only does this young lady have brains and leadership, but also talent. We think she can give Larry Parks a run for his money with her very clever rendition of Al Tolson any day. 32 BETTY CALDWELL BARNETT ( I-astonia, North Carolina Candidate for Bachelor of Arts Degree History Bett) lias had man) and varied interests while at Mary Baldwin She was elected captain of her class hockey team for three years, and her senior year she was selected to he on the hockey varsity. She has played on her dorm basketball team every year, and this year she served as captain. There is no doubt that she deserved her monogram that she won her sophomore year. She served as vice-president of the the Monogram Club her junior year. This year Hetty has had many dif- ferent honors. She was Social Chairman, Chairman of the Cabin Committee, a member of the Club House Committee, and assistant business manager of the Miscellany. 33 BETSY CAROLYN BERRY Staunton, Virginia Candidate for Bachelor of . Irts Degree History Always recognizable by that positively infectious laugh, Betsy is a pillar of the History Department. She has been a member of the In ternational Relations Club for three years and was elected secretary- treasure as a senior. The Spanish Club claimed her interest during her first two years and she has be- longed to the I ay Student Club since her freshman year. Besty has won a place for herself with her big smile and friendly disposi- tion and we know that her snazzy car has been a constant source of delight to main ' a Mary Baldwin gal. 34 ELIZABETH ANNE BLANCHARD Rocky Mount, North Carolina Candidate for Bachelor of Arts Degree Chemistry As versatile as she is pretty, Liz has had quite an active life at Mary Baldwin. Along the ath- letic line her interest was mainly aquatic. A member of the Swim- ming Club for three years she ap- peared in the water pageants time after time and became captain of the swimming team this year. Other extra-curricular activities that Liz took part in were Softball, basket- ball, and hockey. During her four years at Mary Baldwin Liz has been on the Presidents ' Forum, on the YWCA, a Freshman Adviser, on the Cabin Committee, and one of the most active members of the Glee Club. 35 MARJORIE BROWN 1 li luston, Texas Candidate for Bachelor of Arts Degree English and Psychology During her four years of college life at Mary Baldwin, Marjorie has taken part in several extra-curricu- lar activities. She has been a mem- ber of the Spanish club, the Biology Club, and the International Rela- tions Club. Along the literary line she has been especially active. She lias been a frequent contributor to the Miscellany. In her sophomore year she served as exchange editor, her junior year as literary editor of the Miscellany. Though petite, this Texas miss is a very vital mem- ber of the class of ' 48. 36 MARTHA BELL BROWN Staunton, irginia Caiiduliilc for Bachelor of Arts Degre, Music None of us will ever forget .Martha and her lovely voice which we have heard so often in chapel and on other occasions. Her senior voice recital was one of the high- lights of the year ' s activities and proved most delightful to all those who attended. Martha has been a member of the dee Club and Music (lull since her freshman vear and as a senior, was business manager of the Glee Club. She also served on the Y. W. Council in her junior year. Belonging to the Day Student Club for four years, she was chosen as vice-president her last year. We will always remember her for her musical ability, her lovely blond hair, and her friendly manner. MARGARET CLARKE ( rreenwich, Connecticut Candidate for Bachelor of Arts Degn Music One of the Glee Club ' s most loyal members was Maggie. Not only a member for four years, but presi- dent her senior year. Her last two years she developed an interest in the sports angle by supporting both her dorm and class basketball teams. No one is more deserving of the honor than Maggie who was treasurer of her class, and secretary of the Presidents ' Forum this year, chairman of the Y.W.C.A. Social Service Committee, and exchange editor of the Miscellany her junior year; she also belonged to the Music Club for several years. 38 DORIS MARIE CLEMENT Roanoke, irginia Candidate ftrr Bachelor of . Iris Dcc n Psychology Whenever the weather became cold enough for the Staunton pond to freeze, we could always be sure that Doris would be one of the hr t to try the ice. Ice-skating was not her sole athletic interest, however. She was an ardent member of the Swimming Club. During her four years at Mary Baldwin, Doris gave her unquestioning loyalty to the Club House. What was it that some- one said when calling her long dist- ance one time If you can ' t find her in her dormitory, get them to call the Club House. 30 BARBARA JEAN CLINE Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Candidate for Bachelor of Arts Degree Psychology Bobby is one of our most ac- tive and versatile seniors. She has been a member of the Glee Club for four years, and during her four years here has belonged to the Mu- sic Club, the French Club, the Swimming Club, and the Biology Club. She served as the very able president of the Biology Club her senior year and was thus, also, a member of the Presidents ' Forum. She was a library assistant for two years, sang in the Chapel Choir her sophomore year, and her senior year she was a Freshman Adviser, ' a psychology lab assistant, and served on several Y committees. 40 PATRICIA MENGEL COENE Freedom, I ' ennsylvania CaiiilltluU- for Bachelor of . Iris Degree ■ nglish Pat ' s interests have been many and varied throughout her four years here at Mary Baldwin. She has been a member of the Interna- tional Relations Club all four years. The Music Club and reporter for Campus Comments occupied much of her time her freshman year. This year she has been honored by being chosen a college usher and also a Freshman Adviser. If this is not enough to arouse your envy, she is also the proud owner of a mighty good looking frat pin ! 11 HELINE ITAMAR CORTEZ Fortaleza, Ceara, Brazil Candidate for Bachelor of Arts Degree Bible Right from the first Heline won a place for herself in our hearts and in her class. Coming from Brazil, she was a perfect member for the Spanish Club and was secretary hei sophomore year and chairman the next. To say that Heline was out- standing in her work with the , . . C.A. would be a mild understate- ment. During her four years here she was elected chairman of the World Fellowship Committee, sec- retary of the Y.W.C.A., chairman of the Devotional Committee, and vice-president of the Y.W.C.A. Heline managed to appear on the Honors List semester after semes- ter. Is it any wonder that she was elected to Who ' s Who Arriong Students in American Universities and Colleges as a final tribute? 42 HELEN LOUISE DE VORE 1 [agerstown, Maryland Candidate far Bachelor of Arts Dcare . rl and Spanish Her last year at Mary Baldwin finds Helen vice-president of the Spanish Club and a Freshman Ad- viser. Helen, one of the artistic members of her class, can frequent- ly be seen around the campus paint- ing familiar scenes. This year she was bestowed one of the highest honors that can come to a student at M; ialdwin — that of being elected a member of the Mary Baldwin Honor Society. Besides making honors semester after sem- ester while at M.B.C., Helen has found time to write for the Mis- cellany, to wurk on the staff of the Bluestocking, and to be an ac- tive member of the International Relations Club. 43 NANCY LEIGH DIDLAKE Manassas, Virginia Cwididate for Bachelor of Arts Degree Sociology Diddy has divided her interests at Mary Baldwin among the Bio- logy, Spanish and Dramatic Clubs of which she was a member during her freshman and sophomore years. She has been a capable Freshman Adviser her sophomore and junior years and was vice-president of her senior class, showing the recogni- tion of her talent as a leader. Her poise, beauty and charm are assets which led her to be elected a college usher her junior year and a marshal her senior year. Her vivacious per- sonality has won all of us to her friendship, and we will miss her sparkling presence. DOROTHY LEE DRUMHELLER Waynesboro, irginia Candidate for Bachelor of Arts Degree English Dot came to us from Mar) Washington in her s ophomore year and we have grown to like her very much for her pleasing disposition and sense of humor. During her years at Mary Baldwin, she has been a member of the Day Student Club and in her senior year, be- longed to the Art Club also. One can easily guess thai Dot is one of our English majors after being around her for only a few minutes, for it is her constant topic of dis- cussion. 45 ELLEN EDMUNDSON ESKRIDGE Pulaski, Virginia Candidate for Bachelor oj Arts Degree English Ellen is so versatile that she would have been an asset to any class. On the athletic side she sup- ported her class in swimming, bas- ketball, softball and was a member of the Monogram Club. To il- lustrate her many talents her junior year she was elected as social chair- man of her class, and business manager of Campus Comments. Beauty and poise are two important phases of Ellen ' s personality. Nol only was she a college usher her junior year, chief marshal and represented in the beauty section oi the Bluestocking her senior year, but also Dream Girl of the Pi-Ka Fraternity at Hampden-Sydney. To a girl deserving such honors went tlir coveted position of May Queen. 46 DOROTHY LEE ESTEP Cumberland Gap, Tennessee Candidate for Bachelor of Arts Degree History Dottie, claiming Tennessee as her home state, is one of our brave and industrious students who de- cided to try her hand at teaching. What is your verdict on the sub- ject, Dottie ? Quite a Mary Baldwin club fiend she claimed membership in the Dramatic Club and the Biology Club her freshman year, the following year adding the Spanish, International Relations, and Current Events Clubs to her interests. Her senior year Dottie served as secretary of her class. 47 ELVA JULIA FIFER Staunton, Virginia Candidate for Bachelor of Arts Degree Psychology We are all grateful I Elva, and those like her, who served in the WAVES during the war. Elva completed two years at Mary Raid- win and after several years of serv- ice, returned in 1946 to finish her requirements for graduation. She- has been a member of the Day Stu- dent Club throughoul her years at M.B.C. and belonged to the His- tory Club during her senior year. All who know her will remember her for her warm smile and her charming personality. 48 MARGARET COLEGATE GETTY Wilmington, North Carolina Candidate for Bachelor of Arts Degree Psychology This fair North Carolinian throughout her four years at Mary Baldwin has been an active member of the Glee Club. Her freshman year she also had the honor of be- ing asked to sing in the Chapel Choir. She has been a member of both the Biology Club and the Dramatic Gub for three years. Her sophomore year she worked on the circulation staff of the Campus Comments, and as a senior she made one of the best Freshman Ad- visers ever. 49 MARTHA BREWER GODWIN Suffolk, Virginia ( andidate for Bachelor of . Iris Degree Speech Martha ' s activities at Mary Baldwin have been so many that we hardly know where to begin. On the artistic side she has been very interested in dramatics, be- longing to the Dramatic Club four years and taking part in Kind Lady, and Judge Lynch. She- was student director of Junior Miss and R.U.K. , having a role in the latter. Martha was freshman representative to the Y.W.C.A., and has since then been treasurer and vice-president. Her senior year was a busy one. She was chairman of the Club House Committee and vice-president of the Student. Gov- ernment. To end a perfect four years she was chosen to be a May ( )ueen attendant. 50 THELMA LUCILLE GREENLEE Charleston, West Virginia Candidate for Bachelor of . Irts Degree Music The musical side of Mary Bald- win would not have been the same without Lucille. Just to illustrate her many musical feats, she was a Glee Club member for four years, belonged to the Chapel Choir and sextet for two years, and was a member of the Music Club for three- years. Lucille did not limit her tal- ents to music, however; she con- tributed to both the Miscellany and Campus Comments. A Freshman Adviser and a member of various Y.W.C.A. committees are some other activities that Lucille partici- pated in while at M.B. C. 51 MARY SUE GROSSO Lexington, Virginia Candidate for Bachelor of Arts Degree Music Mary Sue is not only a girl oi talent but also one of beauty. She served as president of the Music Club her junior year and accom- panist for the Glee Club her senior year. Mary Sue represented Mary Baldwin at the Apple Blossom Fes- tival her junior year, and this year she was an usher, and an attendant to the May Queen. She lias been mi several Y committees through- out the years, was a Freshman Adviser, a member of the Presi- dents ' Forum, an associate editor of the Miscellany, and was a mem- ber of the Chapel Committee. 52 ELIZABETH CRADDOCK HARDIN Salisbury, North Carolina Candidate for Bachelor of Arts Degree Sociology r Lib certainly poured her won- derful pep, energy, and enthusiasm whole-heartedly into her life at Mary Baldwin, as can well be seen by the numerous activities in which she participated. She was a member of the Art Club all four years, and a member of the French Chili for two. While a junior she was tin- treasurer of her class, a Freshman Adviser, and a member of the Bluestocking staff. This year she served as the very capable president of her class and was a member of the I ' residents ' Forum. 53 MARY MARJORIE HARRIS Chattanooga, Tennessee Candidate for Bachelor of Arts Degre English If one were searching for com- petence they need look no further than Peg. She began working on Campus Comments as a sopho- more. Her junior year she acted as managing editor, and she was the very capable editor this year, as well as serving on the Constitution- al Committee of the Virginia Inter- collegiate Press Association. There is no doubt that she deserves the place she won for herself in Who ' s Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges. Peg was an ardent member of the Span- ish Club, serving as president her junior year. She was business manager of the Bluestocking her junior year, also, and has been a member of the Presidents ' Forum for two years. 54 ROSE BRADFORD HARRISON Winston-Salem, North Carolina Candidate for Bachelor of Arts Degree History and Sociology Although Rose is small in stature she has been mighty in her activities while at Mary Baldwin.

During her years at Mary Baldwin she has been a member of the Day Student Club, serving on various committees, and belonged to the Art Club her lasl two years and as a senior, she was secretary-treasurer of this club. The quiet type by nature, she is found to possess quite a sense of humor as one learns to know her. We wish you the best of everything in your career. Delia Jo. 57 LYLE VIRGINIA IRVINE Frank fort , Kent uck Candidate for Bachelor of Arts Degrt Art Lyle of the skillful paint and brush has certainly distinguished herself for four years at Mary Baldwin. She has served as both as- sistant and associate art editor for the Miscellany, and has helped to put over many of the class parties by her skillful and clever decora- tions. Drama has claimed the in- terest of Lyle also. She has acted in several plays, and her senior year designed the setting for the fall production, 1 . L T . R. as well as both directing and acting in the one act play, The Lady of the Lark Spur. Lyle also found time, to serve on main Y committees and to supporl the hockey team of her class. 58 BETTY JO JORDAN Staunton, Virginia Candidate for Bachelor of Arts Degr, Psychology Ever wondered just what could be the cause of that sudden be- tween-class breeze? Why, that ' s Betty Jordan dashing to the Club for her habitual and life-saving cig- arette !

Her senior year finds Merry president of the Dramatic Club, a member of the Presidents ' Forum, on the Chapel Committee, and a reporter for Campus Com- ments. 60 GERTRUDE ELIZABETH KING Batesburg, South Carolina Candidate for Bachelor .of Arts Degree History The Biology, Music, and French Clubs must have held a fascination and interest for Betty because they have had her loyal support while she has been at Mary Baldwin. Her ability to get along with people is evident, for she was chosen to be a Freshman Adviser both her junior and senior years. Her interest in current events, in keeping up with the world, was expressed by her being a member for three years of the International Relations Club. This sweet girl from South Caro- lina with her quiet, reassuring ways, has made many friends who will miss her next year. 61 HELEN LOWELL KINSER Orange, Texas Candidate for Bachelor of Arts Degree Psychology Pee Wee was the swimming wonder of Mary Baldwin. She has been an ardent member I the Swimming Club since her fresh- man year, holding such offices as secretary and treasurer both her sophomore and junior years. For four years she was on the varsity swimming team. Pee Wee al- ways starred as one of the most important participants in the water pageants and with the ability that she displayed it was no surprise when she won the individual swim- ming cup her senior year. She was a member of the Biology Club for four vears, serving as vice-presi- dent her last vear. 62 HELEN ELIZABETH LANE Washington, District of Columbia Candidate for Bachelor of Arts Degree History One ui the things for which the school will remember Dusty is her dependability and competence.

C. might explain Dus- ty ' s interest in international af- fairs. She was president of the International Relations Club and represented Mary Baldwin at the International Relations Conference at William and Mary her senior year. She also found an interest in the French Club and was a mem- ber of the Chapel Committee her junior year. You always know when Dusty is in the vicinity by that jolly and frequent laugh of hers. 63 MARY ANNE LEWIS San Antonio, Texas Candidate for Bachelor of Arts Degre Spanish If Mary Anne, with that South cni drawl and those cow -buy boots of hers, is a typical example of a true Texan, we are all convinced that Texas must be a pretty won- derful place after all. With her friendly disposition she made such a good Freshman Adviser her so- phomore year that she was selected to be one again the next year. Mary Anne was a loyal member to the Spanish Club, being a mem- ber for four years and president her senior year, and also belonged In tli - International Relations Club. Her senior year she was on . the Presidents ' Forum and one of the Circulation Department assistants for Campus Comments. 64 MARY READ LILLY Charleston, South Carolina Candidate for Bachelor of Arts Degree English Literary, scientific, athletic, dra- matic and academic are but a few words which briefly characterize Mary ' s interests and the part which she has played on the campus. Since she transfered from the Col- lege of Charleston to Mary Baldwin her sophomore year. Mary has been a member and officer in the Biology and French Clubs; a member of the dorm and class basketball teams and has received bowling and ping pong awards. She was editor of the Miscellany and features editor for the Campus Comments her junior vear and on the Presidents ' Forum both her junior and senior years. Mary has attained the honor of being in Who ' s Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges and has truly been an asset to our college life. 65 ann Mccormick lucas Staunton, Virginia Candidate for Bachelor of Arts Degree Music Luke is another one of those music majors whose various per- formances have always been en- joyed. We all marvel over her ability to reach those high notes with such ease and clarity. She has been one of the hard-workers of the Day Student Club for four years and also a member of the Glee Club since her freshman year. As a senior she belonged to the Art Club, Spanish Club. Music Club, and served on a Y. W. Com- mittee, proving her varied interests. Always one to love a good time, we will remember her for her sense of humor and carefree manner. We ' ll miss v.-i next year, Luke . 66 RUTH JONES McBRYDE Ft. I ' chance, Virginia Candidate for Bachelor of . Irts Dt English Jonsey is one of those gals that M. B. C. will really miss, for her winning ways and jovial man- ner have captured the hearts of all who know her. She has taken an active part in musical activities, being a member of the Chapel Choir, Music Club, and Glee Club, serving as business manager of the Glee Club in her junior year. She has proved herself to be a worthy member of the senior class, acting on the Student Council and Pre sidents ' Forum and as president of the Day Student Club, of which she has been a faithful participant all of her four years. As if all this were not enough, she is one of those p. c. ' s whose name fre- quently appears on the Honors List. We will always remember Jonesy by her favorite (and questionable!) remark, I promise . 67 HARRIET PURCELL McLEAN Wagram, North Carolina Candidate for Bachelor of Arts Degree Sociology Harriet ' s many activities show that she is one who likes to take part in things and who always does her part. She was a member of the Glee Club for two years, of the Spanish Club for three years, and of the International Relations Club for four years. She also joined the Dramatic Club her freshman year and was on the circulation staff of the Campus Comments. Her senior year she held such executive po- sitions as that of being on the society staff of Campus Comments and business manager of the Mis- cellany. Tims she has displayed literary and musical abilities. Baby Harriet ' s friendliness and fun- loving personality have captured us 68 LUCILE PALMER McMICHAEL Reidsville, North Carolina Candidal,- for Bachelor of Arts Degree Mathematics Lucile is one girl that needs no introduction. Since she had that responsible position as treasurer of the Student Body we have all had rather close contact with her at one time or another; if in no other way by paying our student budgets to her. Sciences seems to rate high among Lucile ' s interests. Claiming the Biology Club to be her favorite, she was a member for several years and was elected as treasurer her senior year. To illustrate further her interest in science she was a chemistry lab assistant her junior year. 69 JEANNETTE PARHAM ( xford, North Carolina Candidate for Bachelor of Arts Degn English Jeannette is one of those girls who has participated in about every activity that Mary Baldwin has to offer. She began her outstanding journalistic career her freshman year by contributing to Campus Comments and has since then been Editor of the Bluestocking, editor of the Miscellany, and news editor and contributing editor of Campus Comments. She has heen a mem- ber of the French Club, Dramatic Club, and the Glee Club and on Presidents ' Forum two years. Her junior year she was our represen- tative to the International Relations Club Convention. She has fre- quently been on the Honors List and really deserves her member- ship in Who ' s Who Among Stu- dents in Aim in m I niversitics ind Colleges. 7(1 MARTHA SUE PERSINGER ] .oukmit Mountain, Tennessee Candidate for Bachelor of Arts Dccjn Spanish A love for Softball and Spanish was shown by Sue during her four years at Mary Baldwin. She was a member of the Spanish Club all four years and a member of the softball team for three. I Hums? her junior year her interests included science, and she also became a mem- ber of the Biology Club. Being a Freshman Adviser her junior year and a member of her dorm devo- tional committee her sophomore year completes her many activities. The term Sweet Sue is one which really fits in this case and one by which she will always be remem- bered. 71 MARTHA ANNE POOL Winston-Salem, North Carolina Candidate for Bachelor of Arts Degrei Art Mopsy will be remembered as one of the jolliest, friendliest, and most industrious members of her class, having that marvelous gift of being able to get along with any- one. Her record of athletics shows that she holds no favorites in the sports field. During her four years she has taken part in hockey, basketball, volleyball, and Softball, held various positions on the A. A.. and was a member of the Mono- gram Club. ( hi the executive side she was house president of Mc- Farland her junior year, house president of Fraser her senior year, and a member of the Executive Committee on the Student Council. She has served on many decorating committees, was a member of the Dramatic and Music Clubs, ami a reporter of Campus Comments. 72 LILLIAN WESSON RICHARDSON Memphis, Tennessee Candidate for Bachelor of Arts Degree • nglish It would indeed be hard to find a better example of personality and exuberance than Lill has shown in her four years at Mary Baldwin. She has been an outstand- ing member of the A. A. She was treasurer her sophomore year, sec- retary her junior year, and president her senior year. Not all of this at- tractive Memphian ' s interests were directed towards spurts, however. She has contributed both to the Bluestocking and to Campus Comments. Lill has also served on several Y committees. This year she was a member of the Presidents ' Forum and the Stu- dent Council. We think Lill well deserves her place in Who ' s Who Among Students in American Uni- versities and Colleges . 73 BETTY GORDON ROBERTS Radford, Virginia Candidate for Bachelor of .Iris Degree Sociology We need but to glimpse at Betty ' s record to see that she has been an outstanding leader her four years at Mary Baldwin. Her freshman year she was treasurer of her class. She was vice-president her sopho- more year, and her junior year she was president as well as being a Freshman Adviser and a member of the Bluestocking staff. This year she is a dorm president, the chairman of the Freshman Advi- sers, a member of the Student Council, and once again a member of the [ ' residents ' Forum. Betty has been a member of the Glee Club for the past three years and has participated in many of its concerts. MARTHA CONNOR ROSS Morganton, North Carolina Candidal,- for Bachelor of Arts Dccjn Psychology What ' s your idea of a wonderful house president ? Ask anyone who lived in Sky High last year or Rose Terrace this vear, and the answer will be Martha Ross! The fact that Mot was one of those un- usual people who was elected as house president for two years proves that she really must have made a good one. Mot has had membership in the Dramatic Club, Spanish Club, and International Re- lations Club, and has served on the Nook Committee of the Y. W. C. A. and Chapel Committee. Mot was treasurer of her class her junior vear, and during her four years at Alary Baldwin she has contributed to Campus Comments. 75 MARY JACQUELYN SILER I [umboldt, Tennessee Candidal,- for Bachelor of Arts Degree Mathematics Jackie a Tennessee lass, is one of those remarkable girls who claims mathematics as her major. During her four years at Mary Baldwin Jackie has been one of our most frequent visitors to An- napolis. Every time we turn a- round she is taking off to a Navy football game or a hop. Jackie has been a member of various clubs, including the Dramatic Club. Music Club, and the International Relati- ons Club. We might add that she made a very successful Freshman Adviser her senior year. HELEN ELIZABETH SWORTZEL Stuarts Draft, Virginia Candidate for Bachelor of , Irts Degree Bible All of us are very proud of Helen as she is a member of the Mary Baldwin College Honor So- ciety, thus receiving the highest award our college offers. All of those who know her will remember her for her ever-willing hand, be it serving on a committee or trans- lating that just-too-hard Spanish passage. Helen has belonged to the Day Student Club for four years and in her junior year was a mem- ber of the Life Service Group. Having many interests, it was hard for her to decide the field in which to specialize, but she has chosen to be a Bible major. We hope to be hearing great things of you in the future, Helen. 77 HARRIET MIDDLETON WALDROP Hie 1 ' iains, irginia Candidate for Bachelor of Arts Degree Psychology For three years Ham was a boarding student at Mary Baldwin and the summer after her junior year she gave the whole school a thrill by getting married. Lucky for us, she and Luke made Staunton their home and Ham was able to continue at Mary Baldwin by being a day student this year. Her senior year she was social chairman of her class. This together with keeping house probably kept her busy. 78 VERA MOULTON WALL Savannah, ieorgia Candidate for Bachelor of .Iris Dcgn Biology and Psychology V ' s campus life lias been one of varied interests as shown by her participation in many different ac- tivities. She was a member of the Dramatic and the Spanish Clubs her freshman and sophomore years, and since her sophomore year she has been a faithful member of the Biology Club. Her senior year she held the position of circulation manager for Campus Comments. Her amiable personality has been a great contribution to her fellow college students and we are glad that Savannah lias sent her to us for awhile. 79 IRMA ELINOR WEATHERSBY Memphis, Tennessee Candidate for Bachelor of Arts Degree Sociology Elinor ' s activities have been many and varied: a member of the Spa- nish and International Relations Club for three years, and a member of the Student Council for two. She was vice-president of the class her sophomore year as well as being a representative on the Bluestock- ing staff. She was secretary of the Student Council her junior year. At the end of her junior year she was elected to the highest of honors — the President of the Student Government, Chairman of the Presidents ' Forum, on the Y. W. C. A. cabinet, and a member of the Executive Council. We are all very proud of this capable Memphian, and of course she is in Who ' s Who Among Students in American Uni- versities and Colleges . ALMA MATER Thou wast bom of dreams, Mary Baldwin, Mary Baldwin, Woman ' s dreams of love and true desire; ( i oqueor ' s dreams with passion ' s ardor glowing Caught from Truth ' s undying, pure white fire. Born in live, to perish never, In inspire to high endeavor, To uphold thai light forever, Mary Baldw in. Thou wasl built of dreams, Mary Baldwin, Mary Baldwin, Dreams of faith, the dreams of early dawn. Thou shalt live beyond time ' s farthest limit; Dreams shall last when walls of stone are gone. Born in live, to perish never, To inspire to high endeavor, To uphold that light forever, Mary Baldwin. SENIOR SONG (Tune: Londonderry Air ) While mountains guard thee in the Shenandoah, And loyal daughters daily look to thee. The spool of happy days is fast unwinding Its colors rare for memory ' s tapestry. The tall white columns gleaming in the sunlight. The moonlight casting over all its spell, The scarlet autumn, and the winter snow-flakes, Oh, Mary Baldwin, can we say ' Farewell May laughter ring, and dreams be ever golden. Along the terrace there above the street, May friendship ' s live like truth ' s white flame a-glowing, Like truth ' s while flame that never meets defeat. Where ' er we be, we ' ll cherish with fond happiness. That golden tapestry of memory ' s spell. And ever we our faith and love will pledge thee. So, Mary Baldwin, hail and farewell. 81 ELEANOR MARGRAVES EIDSON Markham, Virginia December 1, 1926— September 16, 1947 On tlu- morning of September 16, 1947, the senior class was deeply sorrowed by the loss of one of its members, Eleanor Eidson of Markham, Virginia. Eleanor was born in Markham, the older of two girls. She graduated from high school in Front Royal, Virginia, where she was an active participant in dramatic productions and a member of the Hi-Y. Following in the footsteps of her grandmother, Eleanor entered Mary Baldwin; and in the fall of 1944, she be- came a member of the class of 1948. Byna, as she was known by her closest friends, immediately displayed an interest in college activities by joining the Dramatic, Music, Art, and Spanish Clubs. A psychology major, Eleanor was also to have been a Freshman Adviser during her senior year, had she returned. While at college she worshipped at the Trinity Church in Staunton and was a member of the Episcopal Church in her home town. During a special service on October 9, 1947. a hymn board for use in the college chapel was presented as a memorial to Eleanor, by her class. It has been said of her: Perhaps her life was not fulfilled in years, but it was complete in that she upheld the highest principles and ideas which many, though more mature, have never known. What is lovely never dies, Hut passes into other loveliness. Aldrkh. 82 JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS ARBARA MINTER Vice-President MARGARET HOOKS President FINLEY ANDREWS Secretary MR.

Based on honor and individual responsibility the honor system applies to every phase of our college life and helps to create an attitude of trust and understanding. It is an accepted fact that when a group of people live together there must be some form of regulation or government. In our system of cooperative living, the Student Government Association combines the judicial, legislative and executive phases. This type of organization also facilitates harmony between the faculty and the students. This type of self-government widens each student ' s education by preparing her to accept her place in the world after leaving college. By fostering such high ideals it is the desire of the Student Government to further the interests of Mary Baldwin College and always to inspire to high endeavor. 106 First Row: Martha Godwin, Cynthia Betts, Betty Bailey, Virginia Albertson md Row.

The Young Women ' s Christian Association of Mary Baldwin is made up of the entire student body, as tin- only prerequisite fur membership is genuine interest in its activities. This organization stresses mental, social, and spiritual development, with emphasis upon student participation in all projects. The work of tin Y. W. C. A. is headed by the officers and cabinet members who are selected by the student body and the president of the organization. A Faculty Advisorj Board and Miss Mary E. Lakenan, our sponsor, advance adult counsel. Members of the Advisory Board are Miss Emma Holman, Mrs. Yega M. Lytton, Miss Ruth McNeil, Miss Elizabeth Parker, and Mrs. Martha Grafton. The new year on campus officially begins in the early fall with the Candlelight Service in the Chapel and on the front terrace. It is a recognition service for all the old and new members. The previous year ' s activities are renewed at once, and new projects lift their heads. Weekly visits to the girls of the V.S.D.B., frequent calls at the Betty Bickle Home, helping at the Negro Day Nursery, Peanut Week, the Life Service Group, special vesper services, such as Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter, are only a few of the traditional activities. Each cabinet member has a committee composed of from five to ten girls. Each com- mittee consists of a representative from the Day Students and one from the Freshman Class. The I lay Student representative to the Cabinet, together with the day student representatives from each committee carry the influence of the Y. W. C. A. to the other day students. The Ereshman representative, and the Freshman representatives to each committee, act as a Freshman Cabinet to better acquaint the members of their class with the work of the Y.W.C.A. Tin- work and interest of our Y.W.C.A. is not just on the campus, in the city or in the state, but is nation wide and world wide. Through the World Student Service Fund drive we sent money and clothing to those who need it abroad. We send C.A.R.E. packages ov erseas too. There are abundant opportunities for Christian service on our campus. The Y. W. C. Y is a challenge to every studenl to let Iter light so shine among men that they may see bis good works and glorifv his Father which is in Heaven.

The athletic program began with welcome letters sent to the freshmen and a Gym Day in their honor on the first Saturday of the school year. The next outstanding event was the annual Athletic Picnic on the following Saturday with the class and faculty skit- and athletic competition. A chapel program was given by the association cabinet to explain the various activities offered and the approximate dates of the seasons. Hockey, as usual, was the hading sport of the fall and again the school sent players to the Virginia Field Hockey Association field day this year held at Mary Washington in Fredericksburg, Va. Golf too was held in the fall with new interest and zest due to the driving range and putting green at the athletic field. The next major sport was swimming with the climax coming at the meet, having this year a large participation. The pageant will be held in the spring. Basketball, the general favorite among sports reigned over the winter season. Si ftball in the spring will conclude the majoi sports. Minor sports were of unusual interest this year with the real beginnings of golf, break- fast hikes, ping pong tournaments, badminton tournaments, bowling, pool, and volley hall. The highlight of these came during exams in the Rec of the Week contest for the most recreational participation during this pen. d. A preliminary tennis tournament was held with finals planned and a tennis trip to Richmond and other schools for competition. Archery too increased in participation with the novel William Tell shoots and balloon shoots. A carnival was given for the whole student body, breakfast hikes were taken, parties were held alter each major sport with each sport having some kind of play day activity, a partv lor the Girl Scouts was held, and Blazers were sold. The climax of the year ' s activities came with the Athletic Association banquet and the presentation of awards. This then has been this organization ' s purpose for the year — not only to complete the well rounded college student ' s program but to reach every girl as often as possible and by doing so give her the benefits— moral, physical, and social— offered by her participation in these recreational activities. The cabinet has striven to enlarge the program with new and different ideas. 126 ATHLETIC COUNCIL IF ,TI Firj A ' ,-, ' Peggj Reid, Lee Doremus, Emme Wingate, Adriane Heim Second Row.

Both those unfamiliar and those experienced in the game show great enthusiasm. Class teams are organized for intramural games, this year won by the freshman, with the juniors second. The acme of sucess for every hockey player this year was to be chosen for the team sent to Mary Washington College for the Hockey Play Day of the Virginia Hockey Association. Another honor was membership in the varsity team selected from those who have participated on class teams with skill, sportsmanship and interest. This team was chosen by the hockey sports leader, class captains and the hockey coach. 128 SOFTBALL Left to Right: Peggy Harris, Margaret Hooks, Moselle Palmer, Betsy Lankford, Betty Baile ( ne of the major sports of the college is Softball. A Faculty-Student game is one of the highlights of the annual A. A. picnic which is held early in the fall. Another big game is held on Apple Day , later in the fall, after everyone ha- participated in the apple picking and eaten his fill. A real interest in Softball comes with the first warm days of spring. Class teams are formed, and great interest is shown in the intramural tournament. The final game of the season is played by those girls who are interested in playing for fun. and is followed by a picnic at the Athletic field. The Softball varsity is chosen from those girls who have played on their class teams and shown outstanding ability, enthusiasm and sportsmanship. A cup is given to the winning intramural team at the Athletic Association banquet at the close of the school year. 129 BASKETBALL Left to Ri jlil : Betty Farrington, Betty Barnett, Hannah Todd, Lee Doremus, Ev Lac; , Ellen Eskridgc, Moselle Palmer, Betty Bailey, Nancy Cohen. Basketball is the major winter spurt on the campus. As soon as short days and rainy weather bring the hockey season to a close, the basketball enthusiasts hurry up ti the gym, anxious to get the ball rolling . The dormitory teams are organized and practices scheduled, the cheer leaders make up tricky yells and gather the lusty voices of the dorm around them, willing hands offer to cut oranges at half time for the thirsty players, and then the fun really begins with the games. The dormitories are organized into two leagues. The Big League consists of the four larger dormitory teams and the Little League is composed of the three smaller dormitory teams and the day student team. Each team is eager to be the winner of the plaque. Besides the regular tournament games, there are practice games every Wednesday afternoon. These promote the spirit of friendly competition between the dorms and accustom the players to regular game situations. Later come the class tournament and the awarding of the class cup. The season doses with the traditional Faculty-Senior game. 130 SWIMMING Left to Right: Peggy Reid, Helen Kinser, Hannah Todd, Clara Jane Burroughs. Swimming at Man Baldwin is one of our all season sports. Every year classes in beginning, intermediate, and advanced swimming are taughl b) quali- fied instructors. At one time during the school term a course is giving in Life Saving, Functional Swimming and Water Safety according to the American Re 1 Cross for which the participants are given authorized certificates. For three weeks in April an instructor ' s course in Life Saving and Water Safety is given for those girls who have met the requirements. After the Swimming Meet in the fall, girls making high total scores are chosen to be members of the College Varsity Swimming Team. This choice by way of high points is the only require- ment of the team. 131 BADMINTON Interest runs high in badmin- ton during those months when badminton skills and tactics are being taught in class. Both a singles and doubles tournament are held and awards given by the A. A. The finals in both tourna- ments are played while specta- tors cheer for their favorites. POOL Pool is an ever popular game with all. The table by the posl office is the center of interest between classes and meals and while waiting for the mail to be put up. The table in the gym is ever popular throughout the day and especially during nook hours . Interest is raised by the keen competition between facul- ty and student players. Hints and posters for better pool shots are handy by the tables and ar- rangements were made for Mr. C. C. Peterson to demonstrate and teach trick shots. M N O R HIKING Hiking is every body ' s sport! What could be more re- freshing and invigo- rating than a brisk jaunt to the park for breakfast. TENNIS Tennis might be termed tin- outstanding sport for fall and spring at Mary Baldwin ; for it is at these times that one finds the courts in constant use. When pretty weather arrives those who live near-by hear the ping of the ball from daybreak to dusk. Tt is during these seasons that beginning, intermediate, and ad- vanced courses in tennis are of- fered by the Physical Education Department. This vear tournaments were held in ' both the fall and the spring. The matches were offer- ed to anyone who desired to en- ter, and members of all the class- es were among the competitors for the cups which are offered each year for the doubles and singles matches in the spring. BOWLING Beginning with exam week and running as long as the cold weather lasts, bowling is one of the most popular sports on cam- pus. During exam week, groups go to the V every morning and awards are given both in duck and ten pins for the highest scores. After exam week, the groups go down every Saturday morning and awards are given for the highest average scores in duck and ten pins. 132 s T R O S If iking affords an opportunity for infor- mal get-to-ge t h e r s where students can forge! the cares of the day. MODERN DANCE The modern dance class has become very active on the cam pus this year. The purpose of this group is to demonstrate self expression through tin- medium of movement. The climax of the modern dance classes is the artistic (lances for the Commen- cement Pageant on the front terrace. lj i GOLF Golf is played in the fall and then with renewed vigor in the spring. Roth instruction and practice are given on the prac- tice green at the Athletic field. The Ingleside golf course pro- vides a wonderful opportunity for playing the game. PING PONG Ping Pong is one of the games that will never die on campus. It runs from the opening of the school year until the close of the doors in June. The season can best boast of a tournament in the fall, the winner of which is given an award by the A. A. The finals are a big event where the finalists play the matches before a group of interested spectators in the Mirror Room. ARCHERY Archery is an all year round activity, except when snow cov- ers the ground. Over last year, archery has grown tremenduous- ly. This fall, a great many girls could be seen shooting on the archery range at most any time of the day. There were many shoots scheduled that tried to avoid shooting just at the tar- get. Some of these events were the balloon shoot, clout, and the William Tell shoot. This spring, the archery practices will be built up toward the archery tour- nament. The winner of this final event receives a cup at the A. A. banquet. The purpose of arch- ery is to promote more interest in sports and give futher activity to those who enjoy and want to improve their abilitv. 133 MONOGRAM CLUB LEE l REMUS President EVELYN LACY ' ice-President BETTY FARRlNGTON Secretary MEMBERS Liil Richardson Lee I (oremus Betty Farrington Evelyn Lacy Ellen Eskridge Belty Barnett M opsy 1 ' i« ' l The Monogram Club is composed of those student ' s who have earned and received a college monogram from the Athletic Association.

One familiar example is PRINTING. Once editor, once compositor, or press- man catches the spirit of the shop, the spell is seldom broken. Like the odor of a camp fire, or a whiff of salt air, the beloved tang of printer ' s ink, symboli- cal of a great profession, gets into your heart and soul. School Annuals, Magazines, Newspapers and Special Printing, all smack of it. It is an invisible link that binds all intelligence together. It is the stimulus for creation in business or romance. This craftsmanship, this devotion to service and alert- ness to business needs, has nourished and developed an enormous industrial vitality, and whichever way the course of the future runs, the printer will always find himself able to adapt his helpfulness to new opportunity.
