Ph.D. President During the two years that he has been President of Mary Baldwin College, Dr. Frank Bell Lewis has become a vital force in its life. His sincere interest in the welfare of the college and the success of each in- dividual student has won for him the love and admiration of every person connected with Mary Baldwin. In an effort to express our appreciation for his friendship, as well as his stimulating guidance, we dedicate this, the 1949 BLUE- STOCKING, to President Frank Bell Lewis. When Spring Comes Up The Shenandoah When Spring comes up the Shenandoah It is a rush, a sally ; Swift as a blush on beauty ' s cheek She flushes up the Valley. She passes as in royal state, The rivers rush to meet her. The mountains smile as she goes by, The orchards bloom to greet her. All beauty ' s cohorts, lining up, Salute their sovereign, passing; The vagrant breezes mobilize, Their fragrant forces massing. The birds make music for her march, The hoarse bees add their humming; The joyful cattle on the hills, Deep-throated, hail her coming. The dogwood flings white banners out To greet her every turning, And high on steep, blue mountain sides, Are redbud beacons burning. So Spring comes up the Shenandoah ; I, who have seen her, pity Those who must be content to see Her passing in a city ! ROSELLE MERCIER MONTGOMERY From MANY DEVICES Copyright 1929-By D.

In the early days when each flower was given a name, one little plant whose color was as bine as the sky and which shone like a star, forgot its name and was henceforth known as Forget-me-not.

The Romans mingled ivy in the laurel crowns of their poets. This plant has been through- out the ages tlu- symbol of undying friendship. IVY SONG Plant we the ivy ' neath thy sheltering portal, Strong as our love and like our love immortal. May it grow near thee, telling of our love for thee, Our Alma Mater Here we would leave a symbol of our living Where we have learned the lesson of life giving. Our hearts in knowing thee, closely have been drawn to thee, ( )ur Alma Mater. 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 snowflakes, Oh, Mary Baldwin, can we say Farewell May laughter ring, and dreams be ever golden, Aliing the terrace there above the street, May friendships live like truth ' s while flame a-glowinj Like truth ' s white 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. 26 SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS BETTIE GAYLE President THOMAS FRANCES WILHELM VIVIENNE HUTCHENS Vice-President Secretary BETTY BUCHANAN ANN McCLAIN Treasurer Social Chairman MR. DAFFIN Sponsor Colors cf the Class of 1949 Lavendar and White 27 Candidate for Bachelor of Arts Degree Art and Sociology Remember the splendid art work in the 1948 Bluestocking? Talented Marilyn was responsible for its organization; for she held the position of Art Editor on the staff. Throughout her college career she was active in the work of both the Art and Music Clubs, and for two years she was a member of the Spanish Club and the Biology Club. Is it any wonder that with such a wide variety of in- terests and experience that she should major in sociology and art? Marilyn ' s choice from several campus religious organizations was the Wesley Club, a Methodist foundation, and she was a member for one year. Her class is certainly indebted to her for her splendid co-operation in all its functions, and especially for her help in decorating for its parties. Candidate for Bachelor of Arts Degree Biology Between those wonderful weekends and academic work, it is difficult to see how Nancy found so much time for extra-curricular activities. For three years she was a member of the Biology Club, where she was instrumental in organizing the Alpha Pi Chapter of Beta Beta Beta, of which she was president during her senior year. In this capacity, she was also a member of the Presidents ' Forum. Nancy ' s athletic interests ran primarily to membership in the Swimming Club for two years and playing hockey for her Junior Class team in ' 47. The French Club was fortunate in having her as a member for two years. Her enthusiasm as Senior Representative on the Cabin Committee has helped to make Chip Inn the perfect place for a memorable weekend. ELLEN FINLEY ANDREWS Roanoke, Virginia Candidate for Bachelor of Arts Degree History Gentle Finley is an acknowledged campus beauty. She was selected as a col- lege usher her sophomore year, and as a junior she was our representative to the Apple Blossom Festival. For two years she has appeared in the Bluestocking Beauty Section. Her personality which has the enviable quality of being both serene and lively made her an ideal Freshman Adviser during her junior year. That year she was also on the Club House Committee and was a representative to the I. R. C. Conference at Chapel Hill. Finley served as a House Adviser, a member of the Presidents ' Forum, and chairman of the Social Committee her senior year. We will never forget those wonderful dances she planned for us. VIRGINIA HARDING ARNOLD Grosse Pointc, Michigan Candidate for Bachelor of Arts Degn Psychology n y Michigan ' s contribution to the Class of ' 49 was Ginny with the quiet smile and friendly disposition. During both her freshman and sophomore years, she found time to be a member of the Spanish Club. Her sophomore year she also spent numerous hours in her work at the Virginia School tor the Deaf and Blind. The Wesley Club has held her interest for the two years since it was organized. And because she enjoyed music and wanted to learn more about it, she joined tin- Music Club her senior year. During the spring of her senior year, she kept us all quite fascinated by tales of her work at Western State Hospital, where she helped with the testing program as a research project. This certainly gave her some splendid practical experience in her major field of psychology. - c r ELIZABETH ANN ASHBY Mount Airv, North Carolina Candidate for Bachelor of Arts Degree Spanish Ann in her quiet, charming manner has played a vital part in the life of her class. For three years she has been actively engaged in the work of our Y. W. C. A., first as a member of the program committee, then as secretary her junior year and vice-president her senior year. Her athletic interests have led to participation on her dorm basketball team for two years and her class Softball team for three years. As a Spanish major, she has b een a member of the Spanish Club for three years, and as a staunch Methodist, she has worked with the Wesley Club for two years. We will always remember Ann as the girl who is ever ready to serve in any possible way. GWENDOLYN AUSTIN Welch, West Virginia Candidate for Bachelor of Arts Degree Speech Gwen certainly picked the right major, for we have never seen her when she was speechless. Her class is sure to remember the quaint expressions on her face and in her voice. She was a member of the Glee Club for two years and the French Club for one. During her sophomore year she began her career in the Dramatic Club. Since then she has acted in nearly every play and was either stu- dent director or stage manager for the other productions. Her senior schedule was kept full when she served as vice-president of the Dramatic Club, and as a member of both the Vesper Committee and the Christian Heritage Commission. Gwen is happiest when she has a part to play. We hope that her part in the future will be a happy one. Candidate for Bachelor of Arts Degree Sociology Cyn is one of those people whose interests reach every phase of life; thus she was a natural choice for President of the Student Government Association and Chairman of the Presidents ' Forum. Being interested in athletics, she was twice captain of the Hockey Team and twice a member of the Hockey Varsity. After being on the Basketball Varsity in her freshman and junior years, she re- ceived her monogram and blazer. As a senior, she was in the Monogram Club. On the Student Council, she has been Freshman Representative, Treasurer , House President of Main, Secretary, and President. She has been a member of the Spanish, Biology, and Music Clubs, and was freshman representative to the Bluestocking. Her junior year she was on the Executive Committee. Naturally Cyn was named to Who ' s Who In American Universities and Col- leges . Candidate for Bachelor of Arts Degree Music Betty ' s love for music shows through in her many extra-curricular activities. She has been a member of both the Music Club and Glee Club for four years, and because she was so capable was elected secretary and then president of the Glee Club. Still in the musical field, she was president of the Organ Guild her junior year and secretary her senior year. Buch ' s versatility is expressed by the variety of activities in which she has participated while at M. B. C. During her first two years she belonged to the French Club, and her junior year she was Assistant Editor of the Bluestocking and a Freshman Adviser. Betty has been treasurer of her class and a member of the Club House Committee this vear. VERA GWENDOLYN CANADAY Charleston, South Carolina Candidate for Bachelor of Arts Degree Bible and Philosophy Vera ' s extra-curricular activities have been in many fields during her four years at Mary Baldwin. The Spanish Club held her interest her first two years and for three years she has been a loyal member of the Music Club. During her junior year she was president of the Wesley Club, as well as a member of the Publicity Committee of the Y. W. C. A. Her enthusiastic work on this committee warranted her being chosen as Chairman of the Social Service Committee her senior year. As a junior Vera was appointed to serve as Freshman Adviser, and her senior year was elected to the office of House Adviser. She is our choice for top honors in Dale Carnegie ' s How to Win Friends and Influence People . Candidate for Bachelor of Arts Degree English R. F. could probably be called our most athletic senior, for she has taken part in almost every phase of sports life. For four years she was on the arsity Hockey Team, as well as the hockey, basketball, and softball teams of her class. After her freshman year she was a member of the A. A. Council every year as Hockey Leader, Softball Leader, and Hiking Leader respectively. She was sec- retary-treasurer of the Monogram Club her junior year and president her senior year ; the latter position entitled her to membership on the Presidents ' Forum, where she served on the nominating committee. Although she belonged to several clubs at first, only the French Club held her interest all four years. She became its vice-president her senior year. Keep up the good work, B. F. JEAN ELIZABETH FARROW Staunton, irginia Candidate for Bachelor of Arts Degree Music Faro ' s lovely voice is one in which both Staunton and Mary Baldwin have delighted; for she has been quite generous in singing for us on many occasions. Naturally, she has been a devoted member of the Music Club and the Glee Club for four years, serving as vice-president and program chairman of the latter her senior year. She was also selected to sing in the Chapel Choir for two years. As a sophomore, Faro served as secretary of the Day Student Club, and -because she did such a grand job, she was elected to the vice-presidency her senior year. During her sophomore year she was also a member of the Y Social Service Committee. For three years she worked in the Alumnae Office. We know Faro will help to make the world brighter through her beautiful songs. Candidate for Bachelor of Arts Degree Sociology Tht. ' time that Fugate spent at M. B. C. was filled with many important duties. As a senior she has served as vice-president of the Student Council, House President of McClung, and Chairman of the Club House Committee, and she has done all three jobs well. The 1948 Bluestocking was edited by this same capable girl during her junior year. Her sophomore year she was treasurer of her class and the sophomore representative to the Bluestocking staff, as well as Publicity Chairman for the A. A. and a member of the Friendship Committee of the Y. W. C. A. It is hard to see how Fugate ever found time to make so many friends and take part in almost all the other campus activities, but she did. She- has indeed been a valuable member of the student body for four years. CARRIE ELIZABETH HAM Staunton, Virginia Candidate for Bachelor of Arts Degree Sociology Jackie has been an active member of the Day Student Club for four years. As a native Stauntonian, she was quite naturally chosen to be a member of the Y. W. C. A. Friendship Committee for two years. Who else would be as well qualified to welcome the new girls as someone who was familiar with ' the town? Another way in which Jackie has been active in Y work has been as a mem- ber of the Publicity Committee. Her senior year, she was elected to the House Council. Since she lived in town, her duties were primarily in an advisory capacity to the freshmen day students. What will ever remain a mystery is how Jackie found time to knit those fascinating argvles and carry nine hours of sociology each semester of her senior year. BETTY ANNE HARRELL Suffolk, Virginia . ■■ ■ ' ■ Candidate for Bachelor of Arts Degree Mathematics Betty Anne has spent much of her four years at Mary Baldwin with a piece of paper, a pencil, and a math problem. There is no telling how much money she saved the entire student body by being the Student Treasurer and Recorder during her senior year. Her time away from studies was spent partly with the French and Glee Clubs her freshman year, and the International Relations Club her sophomore, junior, and senior years. Betty Anne ' s bright face and quips that are typically Virginian have added to the fun the Class of ' 49 has had. Being one of those lucky M. B. C. girls who doesn ' t have to worry about the long distance between home and school, Betty Anne will be one of our frequent visitors in the years to come, we hope. BEVERLY JEAN HARRISON Carmel, New York Candidate for Bachelor of Arts Degree Psychology Bev came to us as a junior from Blackstone College and has been an out- standing member of her class since then. For two years she has been an ardent hockey fan, and during her junior year she was a valuable contributor to her dorm basketball team. Proof of the adaptibility of our Junior Transfer came when she was elected to serve on the Student Council as House President of Rose Terrace her senior year. No one on campus has a greater sense of fairness and is more likable. Though she is from Yankeeland , any rebel should be glad to have her friendly and hospitable nature. Throughout Rev ' s life those who meet her will be better people because of having known her. Candidate for Bachelor of Arts Degree English Mary Ann, better known as Mike , is a good illustration of the adage that the best things come in little packages. Being one of our more athletic seniors, she was a member of the hockey team in her junior year. She was also elected as a Freshman Adviser her junior year. This year she assumed the responsible job of being Chairman of the Cabin Committee. English, in which she majored, is only one of her interests, for she finds time to do many other things and to do them well. Possessed with a sparkling humor and personality, Mike has made her- self well liked by all who have known her during her four years at Mary Baldwin. Candidate for Bachelor of Arts Degree English ' Margaret will long be remembered as one of the friendliest, most industrious members of her class. Her athletic career included playing hockey, basketball, and softball for four years, and being captain of die freshman class hockey team and of the junior class softball team. She was a member of the Basketball Varsity and the Monogram Club her junior year and that spring she was elected to the presidency of the Athletic Association. But sports did not occupy all of Mar- garet ' s time. As a freshman she was her class representative to the Y Cabinet and two years later was elected as president of the junior class. She served on the Presidents ' Forum both of her last two years and was on the Student Council her senior year. We think Margaret well deserves her place in Who ' s Who A- mong Students in American Universities and Colleges . HELEN HARRIETT HOUGHTON Arlington, Virginia Candidate for Bachelor of Arts Degree English and Spanish Bright-eyed Helen was a member of many of the college ' s organizations. She was kept busy her freshman year in the Spanish, Dramatic, and Swimming Clubs. The latter aided her in obtaining a position on the Swimming Varsity for that year as well as her junior year; that year she served as captain of the team. As a freshman Helen also showed musical interest in that she was a member of the Glee Club. Her sophomore year she belonged to the same clubs with the exception of the Glee Club. She was chosen as an usher her sophomore year and served in this same capacity as a senior. The Spanish Club claimed Helen as a member her senior year. Helen will long be remembered at M. B. C. for her antics on horseback and as a ready fourth at bridge. VIVIENNE TYLER HUTCHENS Lake Wales, Florida Candidate for Bachelor of Arts Degree Psychology Viv , who was rightly chosen to be on the Y. W. C. A. Friendship Com- mittee, was secretary of her graduating class. She was active -in many of the sports on campus, and proved to be a valuable player. Her sophomore year she was on the class basketball and Softball teams, and her senior year she again play- ed softball for her class. Her freshman year she joined the Spanish, Musjc, and Glee Clubs, continuing membership in the latter two throughout her college life. As a senior she was business manager of the Glee Club and a member of the A. A. Council in the capacity n Recreational Sports Leader. Viv ' s dry wit and warm personality match the sunshine of Florida, her home state. Candidate for Bachelor of Arts Degree Psychology Edith ' s most memorable performance at M. P.. C. was probably that of the wolf in Peter and the Wolf , the 1949 production of the Modern Dance De- partment. That paper mache head was quite becoming to such a competent dancer. Perhaps part of her ability to portray a wolf was learned in the Dramatic Club of which she was a member for two years. The Music Club had Edith on its roster her first two years here and the Spanish Club held her interest as a fresh- man. During her junior year she was on the Campus Comments staff and also took an active part in the Swimming Pageant. Certainly, we are grateful to her for the times she called to say, You have a phone call in the maids ' office. Candidate for Bachelor of Arts Degree Chemistry Julia ' s hard work at Mary Baldwin was climaxed early this spring by her election to the Honor Society. It is not easy to understand how she has had time to take such an active part in so many other campus activities-. She was a mem- ber of the Biology Club her first three years here, and a member of Beta Beta Beta her senior year. Her sophomore year she was a member of the International Relations Club. As a junior she was Conference Chairman of the Wesley Club, a member of the Music Club, and Feature Editor of the Bluestocking. No less active her senior year, she was Co-Chairman of a Y. W. C. A. Commission and again Conference Chairman of the Wesley Club. It is doubtful that her formula for success came from chemistry ; it must be her own special secret. Candidate for Bachelor of Arts Degree Chemistry Ceci , a Staunton miss, is one of those few remarkable girls who can claim chemistry as her major. Her interests along this line were partly responsible for her being a provisional member of the Beta Beta Beta Fraternity during her senior year. Ever since she entered Mary Baldwin as a freshman she has been one of the most active participants in the Day Student Club. Sparks of fun were always flying in her direction during their parties or as a group gathered to chat in the Day Student Room. Because of her enthusiastic interest in music, she was a member of the Music Club from 1947 throughout her college career. Ceci ' s pleasing personality and knack for making friends have already given her a strong push toward success in the future. Candidate for Bachelor of Arts Degree Music Joan is one of those wonderful music majors who have helped to bring the rest of us splendid musical programs many times during the year. Her work in the Music Club her junior year was supplemented by the accompanying she did for some of the voice students during her last three years at M. B. C. All four years she has been a member of the Day Student Club, and her first two years she was also in the Modern Dance Club. During the World Student Service Fund Drive of ' 47, Joan was one of the chief workers. Later, as a junior, she was a reporter for Campus Comments. Her provisional membership in Beta Beta Beta Fraternity materialized in February 49 when she was made a full member. Best wishes for the future, Joan ! MURIEL STEVENS KING Roanoke, irj Candidate for Bachelor of Arts Degree Frank Midge ' s poise and calm, eloquent beauty were responsible for her being chosen by the student body, in her junior vear, to first place in the 1948 Blue- stocking Beauty Section. Again, in her senior year, she was selected as one of M. 1 ' .. C. ' s most beautiful girls and she appeared once more in the Beauty Section. Her first two years at Mary Baldwin she served as a college usher. When she became a junior she was elected as her class marshal. The following year she was chosen as Senior Marshal. On the academic side. Midge was a member of the French Club her freshman and senior years. The varied programs of the club have broadened her interests in her major field of French. This lovely lass has made many friends who will miss her next vear. Candidate for Bachelor of Arts Degree Spanish Ev will always be remembered for her slow drawl, charm, and friendly nature, typical of all Mississippi Belles. Evidence of her beauty is the fact that she has been in the Bluestocking Beauty Section for two years, and was a col- lege usher her junior year. Ev ' s club interests have been varied! Her freshman year found her a member of the Glee Club and the Spanish Club, and as a sopho- more she participated in the Art Club. Her athletic abilities are brought- to light in that she received a monogram her sophomore year and was vice-president of the Monogram Club when a junior. Chapel and Hill Top have both profited by Ev ' s competent leadership when she served as House President of these dorms and as a member of the Student Council for two years. ELIZABETH CATO LANKFORD Emporia, Virginia Candidate for Bachelor of Arts Degree Biology Will the friendly, jovial Betsy ever be forgotten as the wonderful Santa Claus at our 1948 Christmas party? Though this Senior Santa gave many gifts at the party, none equaled her gift to Mary Baldwin ' s Varsity Basketball Team, for three years. Her winters as an underclassman were kept busy playing basket- ball for her class. As a biology major, Betsy was naturally a member of that club for two years, and when it became Tri-Beta so did Betsy. Her junior year Betsy went down the hill to be House President of McFarland, but her senior year she came back up to be President of Memorial. During her last two years, Betsy was a devoted fourth at bridge ; for she was on the Club House Committee both years. Candidate joy Bachelor of Arts Degree English Junior-sized Hootie is her class ' dark-eyed beauty who ushered at so many of the functions in the King Building this past year. Just like a little bit of dynamite, she was an outstanding basketball player on her dormitory teams her freshman and sophomore years. During the out-of-doors sports season .of her junior year, she played Softball for her class team. Maybe Hootie ' s size was an advantage, because she got that ball quite often for the hockey team of her senior class. We ' ll always remember the day of her practice teaching career when she was mistaken for a fourth grade pupil in the grammar school cafeteria. AVIS ROSE LEWELLYN Staunton, Virginia Candidate for Bachelor of Arts Degree Bible Avis is our smallest senior in actual size but she is by no means the smallest in activity. For four years her ready smile and willingness to help have made her a valuable asset to the Day Student Club. Her work on their parties, especially as a member of the food committee, has helped to produce many a successful affair. Avis sang with the Glee Club during her freshman and sophomore years and her face was a familiar one right on the front row. When she became a senior, she joined the Social Responsibility Commission of the Y. W. C. A. Avis ' s aimiable personality and twinkling eyes are going to be missed next year. especially in the halls of Academic and in the Day Student Room, but we ' re wishing the best of everything for her in the future. Candidate for Bachelor of Arts Degree Psychology Tiny, vivacious Ann is the proud owner of a diamond ring which makes her a member of the third finger left hand club . She has another possession to be envied — her knack for modern dancing. She will long be remembered as the cute little bird that gracefully fluttered about the stage in Peter and the Wolf — 1949 production. Ann ' s chief interests seem to lie in the realm of music, for she was a member of the Glee Club her first three years and of the Music Club both her sophomore and junior years. Rut music is not her only interest. The Spanish and Biology Clubs claimed her for a member her freshman year. We will al- ways owe Ann a note of thanks for the fine social functions during the vear ' 48- ' 49, when she served in the capacity of senior class social chairman. ELIZABETH LEMMOND MACHEN Mobjack, Virginia _ Candidate for Bachelor of Arts Degree English and Psychology Lib ' s charming thoughtful manner, as well as her wide range of interests and abilities, partly explain her large number of college activities. For four years she has been one of our most faithful hockey and basketball players on both dorm and class teams ; as a junior she also played softball. She received a Monogram in the spring of ' 48 and became a member of that club. After being a member of the Spanish Club for three years, she was elected secretary-treasurer her senior year. She was a Biology Club member her first two years. Then her interest switched and she joined the Music Club her last two years. During her senior year, she led a Y Commission, was on the Miscellany staff, and was secretary of the House Council. Best of wishes to you, Lib, in your life as Fred ' s wife. KATHERINE SALISBURY MAKEPEACE Providence, Rhode Island Candidate for Bachelor of Arts Degree French From the North came Kitty and all her love fur hockey. She made the Varsity Team and was a co-captain her senior year. As a four year member of the French and Swimming Clubs, she was president of the French Club her senior year, and vice-president and secretary-treasurer of the Swimming Club her sophomore and junior years. She has been on her class team in every major sport on campus. She was awarded the Archery Cup her sophomore year, and when she was a junior she was the Archery Leader on the A. A. Council, a mem- ber of the Monogram Club, and on the Nominating Committee of the Presidents ' Forum. Kitty is the girl we all most want to teach us to ski standing up. Candidate for Bachelor of Arts Degree Psychology Robbie , the envied Senior with a West Point miniature, has been as busy on campus as she has been in going to and from the Point. As a freshman and a sophomore, she was a member of both the French and Art Clubs. Her freshman year she was also a member of the Music Club. Bobbie showed her interest in the field of sports by active participation on the Softball and basketball teams all through college. Her interest and capability were rewarded her junior year when she was elected vice-president of her class. That year she also served on the Campus Comments advertising staff. The Student Government claimed her services in ' 48 and ' 49 when she was elected House President of Martha Riddle and Chairman of the House Council. Her contagious laughter and sparkling eyes have been premanently impressed on our memories. CHILTON MINUS St. George, South Carolina Candidate for Bachelor of Arts Degree Biology Vivacious, little Chili is the Senior Class ' only Army Brat ; so, many are the times she has entertained her classmates with stories of. Army life. Her freshman year, Chili was a member of the Art Club and the next year she be- gan her three year career with the Swimming Club. Campus Comments was glad to have Chili on its staff her senior year, because her contributions were, so well written. Aside from her newspaper work, she was a member of the Beta Beta Beta Fraternity her senior year. Being a biology major, she was especially active in the club. Chili ' s smile and her good word will be missed by everyone at M. B. C. and particularly at the Club next year. JOAN ELIZABETH MOORE Burlington, North Carolina Candidate for Bachelor of Arts Degree Sociology kjP Versatile, capable Jo has participated in almost every activity on campus. Having been a member of the Swimming Team for four years, she was vice- president her sophomore year, and a member of the Varsity Team for three years. Jo ' s interest in journalism in general and Campus Comments in particular was responsible for her being chosen as a contributing editor her junior year and Editor-in-chief her senior year. She has been a member of the Spanish Club, the Music Club, and the Glee Club; and in her senior year she became a member of the Presidents ' Forum. Having the rare combination of brains plus beauty, Jo was elected May Queen her senior year. She also appears in the Beauty Section of the 1949 Bluestocking and in Who ' s Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges . MARGARET ANN NEWMAN Farmville, Vi Candidate for Bachelor of Arts Degree English As our beautiful and stately Chief Marshal of ' 48 and ' 49, Margaret Ann has made us proud to follow her in academic procession. Her junior year was an especially busy one, for she was treasurer of her class, Class Editor of the Blue- stocking, and a member of the business staff of Campus Comments where she was an ardent ad collector . At the beginning of her second year at M. B. C, she was asked to be a college usher, and she continued to serve in this capacity for two years. In her senior year she was elected to the House Council, When a contest was held in October ' 47 to elect Miss Mary Baldwin , we were not at all surprised that Margaret Ann ' s poise, vivid coloring, and unusual beauty should win for her the coveted title. She has also appeared in the Bluestocking Beauty- Section for two years. VIRGINIA LEE NURNEY Suffolk, Virginia Candidate for Bachelor of Arts Degree Sociology Gin ' s interesting laugh will never be forgotten by the classes between ' 46 and ' 52. Her energy and vitality have literally spread joy throughout Mary Baldwin. Aside from being an ardent basketball player, she found time to be a member of the Biology, French, Music, Dramatic, and Art Clubs. During her sophomore year she was on the Y. W. C. A. Social Service Committee. Her junior year she was a Freshman Adviser and as a senior she was a House Ad- viser. No one could help underclassmen get adjusted to college life more ably than Gin . If she continues in her major field of sociology, we are sure that she will be a success. Candidate for Bachelor of Arts Degree Mathematics Betty ' s athletic interests are shown in her participation each year on the hockey, basketball, and Softball teams of her class, and her freshman year when she won the Archery Cup. She served as secretary-treasurer of the Monogram Club her senior year. As a sophomore she was treasurer of the Day Student Club, and her first two years she joined the Art and Spanish Clubs. All four years have found Betty working on Campus Comments as reporter, sports editor, or con- tributing editor. As a junior Betty did a great deal of work on the Miscellany and was chosen Editor of this publication her senior year. After such an im- pressive list of activities, Betty deserves a lot of praise. Candidate for Bachelor of Arts Degree Biology It is easy to understand why Mercer, as a biology major, was a member of that club her first two years and of the Tri-Beta Fraternity her last two. She was secretary of the Biology Club her sophomore year and secretary of Beta Beta Beta her senior year. Biology is far from Mercer ' s only interest ; for she was a member of the French Club for three years, being treasurer her junior year. As House President of Sky High her junior year and of Fraser her senior year, she proved to be one of the campus leaders. Both years she was active in Student Council work. Mercer has worked hard on the Episcopal Vestry for four years. Her senior year she was its leader and was instrumental in organizing a Cantur- bury Club, for the Episcopal students of M. P.. C. Candidate for Bachelor of Arts Degree History Katherine ' s infectious laugh has contributed much to the fun of her class, and her hard work on Campus Comments and the Bluestocking has added a great deal to the value of these two publications. Her freshman year she was a member of the Art Club, while her sophomore year she was vice-president of her class and a member of the Y Welcome Committee. During her junior year, she was Sports Editor on the Bluestocking staff, a member of the Club House Com- mittee, and Social Chairman of her class. As a senior, Katherine was Managing Editor of Campus Comments and also a member of the I. R. C. As we see it, her editorial feature is Campus Comments, which she called As I See It , has been an especially valuable contribution to school life, since she was so well informed on pertinent issues. MARY AGNES PRINTZ Staunton, Virginia Candidate for Bachelor of Arts Degree Bible Aggie ' s warm-hearted nature and friendly smile made her a welcomed ad- dition to any campus group. She participated in Day Student Club activities all four years. The Life Service Group of the Y. W. C. A. was an active one during the four years that Aggie was a member, for she put her wholehearted, en- thusiastic nature into making it a success. By the way, Aggie plans to go in- to full time Christian Life Service as a missionary. Her junior year, she became a member of the Organ Guild and as a senior she was elected to its presidency. She was a member of the Y Cabinet during ' 47-48. She continued her work with the Y. W. C. A. as a committee member and as a member of the World Re- latedness Commission her senior year. The mission field is certainly gaining one of our finest seniors. NANCY ELIZABETH RAWLS Suffolk, Virginia Candidate for Bachelor of Arts Degree Sociology Attractive Nancy looks like a dreamer but she is really a lady of action. After being a member of the International Relations Club for three years, she was elected president her senior year. Many times she has represented the college at conferences on world affairs at various schools in Virginia and contributed much to their discussions. Her senior year she was on the Board of Governors of the Virginia Organization of International Relations Clubs. During her freshman and sophomore years she was also a member of the French Club. As a senior she was chairman of the Library Committee and reporter for Campus Comments. We hope that Nancy ' s friendliness will soon show up in all international relations. Candidate for Bachelor of Arts Degree English and Speech Peggy, the veritable spark plug of the Senior Class, will long be remem- bered for her interest, co-operation, and vitality in all school activities. For four years she was a member of the Dramatic Club, being president her senior year and helping with almost every major dramatic production. Her athletic interest has been primarily swimming, though she has played basketball and Softball. She held the presidency of the Swimming Club her sophomore year, and was on the Swimming Team and Varsity for two years. Her junior year she was a member of the A. A. Council and her senior year was a member of the Monogram Club. She also served on the Chapel Committee and as Co-chairman of a Y. Com- mission group her senior year. With her many talents and energetic personality, Peggy is sure to meet the world with all the vitality she has shown at M. B. C. Candidate for Bachelor of Arts Degree Music To say that Betty ' s friendly nature and sincere interest in people have made her one of our most beloved seniors gives us only part of the. picture of our able Y. W. C. A. President. For four years she has been an active member of the Music Club, the Glee Club, and the Day Student Club. As a sophomore she was President of her class as well as representative to the Y Cabinet, and during her first two years she was a capable assistant in the Registrar ' s office. Her senior year has been a busy one; for she has led our Y. W. C. A. in a full pro- gram of activities and has served as a member of the Student Council. In addition to this she was elected to the Mary Baldwin Honor Society and to Who ' s Who Among Students in Amer ; can Universities and Colleges . Candidate for Bachelor of Arts Degree Sociolnyy As versatile as she is pretty, Winks has actively participated in a wide variety of school activities. After being a member of the Glee Club for three years, she was elected as secretary her senior year. Still in the field of music, she was also a member of the Music Club for four years. French Club activities claimed part of her time during her first three years at M. B. C. During her junior year she became a Freshman Adviser and a member of the Circulation Staff of Campus Comments. In her senior year, the charming and attractive Winks served as a college usher, was elected to the Beauty Section of the Bluestocking, and was named bv the student body as Attendant to the May Queen. 71 ■u r LILA CAROLINE SPROUSE ■ . Staunton, Virginia Candidate for Bachelor of Arts Degree Music Caroline ' s quiet, efficient nature is in direct disagreement with the usual idea of a red-head. Besides having the asset of red hair, Caroline is known for her beautiful voice, and as an indication of musical interests, she- has been a member of the Glee Club for four years and the Music Club for two years. She was a mem- ber of the Chapel Choir her freshman year and the Mary Baldwin Sextette her sophomore year. Caroline ' s active work in the Day Student Club her first three years culminated in the honor of being elected President her senior year. This office also entitled her to a position on the Student Council and the Presidents ' Forum. Caroline was also the Assistant Business Manager of the 1948 I ' .i.n - stocking and an I. R. C. member her senior year. We ' re expecting great things of her in the future. Candidate for Bachelor of Arts Degree English Bettie Gayle is to be especially admired, because after working for her sec- retarial certificate, which she received at the end of her second year, she decided to stay and get an A. B. degree. This was certainly fortunate for her jdass be- cause she became its president her senior year. In this capacity Bettie Gayle has faithfully led the senior class to Chapel every Tuesday and Thursday. She has also ably led her class in the year ' s activities. When she was a freshman she joined the Biology Club, and as a junior, she was Business Manager of the Bluestocking. Besides being class president her senior year, she was on the Presidents ' Forum, a member of the I. R. C, and the senior representative to the F.piscopal Vestry. Bettie Gayle hopes to travel in the future and we are sure that her perseverance will make her ambition come true. Candidate for Bachelor of Arts Degree Psychology The sparkling personality and charming beauty which- won for Whip ' the first position in the 1049 Bluestocking Beauty Section, also have won for her a place in the hearts of all who have known her. Her sophomore year she was president of the Art Club and as such was entitled to a position on the Presidents ' Forum. She was a member of the Cabin Committee her junior year. During her senior year she worked with the Chapel Committee to plan and present well- rounded programs, and also served as House Adviser in Hill Top. For two years she has been a college usher and has appeared in the Beauty Section. Her election as Attendant to the May Queen her senior year was a mere reflection of our thoughts of her. FRANCES ELIZABETH WILHELM Cardiff, Maryland nKjJ- Candidate for Bachelor of Arts Degree English Anyone who wants to find Frances can always go to the Club, the place where she swears she lives. Actually, all her activity is not confined to the Club; for she has been a member of the softball team her sophomore, junior, and senior years, a member of the hockey team in her senior year, and a member of the basketball team her first three years. She has also been a member of the Biology Club, the International Relations Club, and the Music Club. In the senior year she was elected as vice-president of her class, as well as Leader of Recreational Sports on the A. A. Council. In addition to these activities, she was a member of the Nook Committee in her sophomore year. Lively, energetic Frances certainly has helped to make M. B. C. even more wonderful. 76 JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS ADRIANE Preside II KIM nt MARY IX ' Wl r ice-Preside UGHT nt ANNE Seen FAW •tary [ARRIET VREELAND Treasurer LOUISE HARWELL Social Chairman MR.

It is due to the fact that we have a Student Government Association that our life here is so successful and happy, because we feel that such a life is based on personal honor and cooperation ; and it is on these principles that the association has been built. The purpose of Student Government is not to control discipline and regulation ; its aim is far greater. The fundamental objective of the association is concerned with the growth of stu- dents. It endeavors to help each girl develop a greater strength of character, nobler ideals, and a higher Christian living. The honor system on which our association is based applies to every phase and department of college life. It helps to create an attitude of trust, thereby increasing the spirit of cooperation that is so vitally important to community living. Each student is a member of the Student Gov- ernment Association and therefore shares in the rights and responsibilities of self-government. It is the desire of the association that each girl, when she leaves Mary Baldwin, will carry with her its spirit and its ideals. The Executive Council is composed of the live members of the Advisory Board, the President of the Student Council, and three other Council members appointed by her. The Council acts as an intergrating force between the faculty and the student body as a whole. 100 First Row. Betty Fugate, Harriet Shahan, Patricia Hoshall, B etty Ruff Second Row.

A. this year committed herself to its purpose — a deepen- ing of faith in God through Jesus Christ, and to intelligent, systematic service. In an effort to deepen our faith in God, the Y. . C. A. holds Sunday Vesper services, week- ly dormitory devotionals, special services for Installation, Easter, and Christmas, and sponsors a Religious Emphasis Week. The systematic service can be measured quite concretely through the regular visits made- by the girls to the Bettie Bickle Home, the Vir- ginia School for the Deaf and Blind, and the Western State Hospital. Also, the Y contri- butes to more remote agencies in a financial way. Some of these are the local Negro Day Nursery, the World Student Service Fund, C. A. R. E., and a scholarship for a student in Brazil. In addition to these, the Y. W. C. A. sponsors many social activities. Everyone looks forward to the Big-Little Sister program, Pea- nut Week , the Nook , and the Barn Dance. In all things the Y. W. C. A. keeps its motto before it — I am come that they might have life and that they might have it more abundantlv . This year, in an attempt to make its service more intelligent , the Y. W. C. A. has organized four study Commissions. These include Commissions on Christian Faith and Heritage led by Julia Johnson and Peggy Reid, Personal and Campus Affairs led by Martha Frierson, World Relatedness led by Lilian Bedinger and Lib Machen, and Social Responsibility led by Margaret Wilson and Margaret Barrier. 102 First Row: Ann Ashby, Betty .Kan Gilmer, Alletta Jervey, Cynthia Belts Second row: Charlotte Jackson, Polly Jean Silling, Vera Canaday, Bess Miller Plaxco, Ann Nissen Brown.

Members are elected by the faculty at the end of each semester and may not exceed ten per cent of any class. Students who have maintained certain academic standards for at least six semesters are eligible for election. The College has also been pleased to honor certain outstanding alumnae who graduated before the Honor Society was established. At the Centennial celebration in 1942, a number of alumnae were elected and initiated into the Society. MEMBERS ELECTED TO THE SOCIETY FROM THE CLASS OF 1949 JULIA JOHNSTON BETTY RUFF 110 ALGERNON SYDNEY SULLIVAN AWARD The New York Southern Society, in order to perpetuate the memory of Algernon Sydney Sullivan, through whose efforts the Society was founded, in such a form that shall be most expressive of his character, established an award to be made in certain Southern colleges, to one member of the graduating class of each institution selected. Each school may present this award to another person, not a member of the student body, in whom accomplishment and service are outstanding, and who shall have some interest in, association with, or relation to said institution. At the 1948 Commencement this award was presented to : Mrs. Lucille Foster McMillin, Class of 1891, a resident of Washington, D. C. in recognition of her loyalty to Mary Baldwin College and to its ideals; of her distinguished service in the agencies of government; of her leadership and in- fluence in the religious, political, and cultural life of our times. Elinor Weathersby of Memphis, Tennessee, a member of the Class of 1948 and president of the Student Government Association. MRS. LUCILLE FOSTER McMILLIN ELINOR WEATHERSBY 111 THE BLUESTOCKING MARGARET BARRIER Editor In the annual spring elections, the editor and business manager of the Bluestocking were elected from the junior class, and they with the guidance of Miss Fannie Strauss, faculty adviser, selected the other members of the staff. This small group began its work with a simple idea, which through the school year has grown and developed into a formal book. It is their hope that they have picked a few choice blossoms from your garden of school memories, and that these will remain unwithered throughout the years to remind you of the days between September ' 48 and June ' 49. The staff would like to express its sincere ap- preciation to Miss Fannie for her constant en- couragement and capable assistance. Thanks also go to the following students who have helped with the 1949 Bluestocking: Jeanne Ashby, Stacie Caul. Betsy White, Pattye Andrew, Marie Mc- Clure, and Alice Ball. The Bluestocking staff spent many afternoons and nights planning and organizing material in Miss Fannie ' s room, before the 1949 edition could go to press. 112 THE STAFF Bess Miller Plaxco issistani Editor Polly |ean Silling ...

Each of the different sports has a leader. These leaders make up the A. A. Council and together with the assistance and encouragement of Miss Christine Foster and Miss Ruth Reid carry out the athletic program for the year. In the fall the main sport is hockey. Swimming is also popular in the fall with its climax coming with the Swimming Meet in December. During the winter basketball has long been popular. In the spring the focus of most of our attention is on soft-ball. Other sports which are enjoyed throughout the year are badminton, bowling, pool, archery, golf, and tennis. The athletic pro- gram is not for the well-trained athlete alone, but for all who enjoy wholesome recreation and lots of fun. 120 THE A. A. COUNCIL First Row.

All classes support it enthusiastically, both by actual participation in games and by cheering for their class-mates. In a series of intramural games between classes the freshman team placed first. As every year, a varsity was chosen to represent Mary Baldwin at the Hockey Play Day, held at Randolph-Macon College this year. The varsity team is selected by the hockey sport ' s leader, class captains ami the hockey coaches. The qualifications are a certain number of games played, skill, and enthusiasm. Cynthia Betts further distinguished herself by representing Mary Baldwin as a member of the Virginia Reserve Team. 122 BASKETBALL With the first signs of winter, basketball fills everyone ' s mind. From January to the end of March it is the chief sport on campus. It brings out the liveliest spirits available and the friendliest competition. The dormitories are divided into two groups : The Big League, composed of three larger dorms and the day students ; and The Little League, made up of players from the smaller dorms. Members of each league play one another. The most anticipated sports events of the season is the play-off game between the winners of the two leagues. At this time the basketball plaque is awarded the winning team. The faculty-senior game rounds off a season which everyone enjoys and in which many girls take an active part. 123 SWIMMING This rear swimming has meant more to a greater number of students than ever before. A consistently high number of students swam for either recreation or practice. Many earned life-saving badges through enrollment in the Red Cross courses. At the highly successful inter-class swimming meet awards were offered in both class and individual competition. Girls with the- highest individual scores were automatically selected as members of the varsity team. Another campus event open to all was the ever popular spring water pageant. In March, Mary Baldwin was hostess to the Virginia Athletic Federation of College Women. Three member-schools gave a demonstration of rhythmic swimming. 124 SOFTBALL Spring is the season for all vigorously athletic-minded to turn to Softball. Class teams are formed and the stiff competition adds to the fun of the intramural tournament. At the close of the season the varsity is chosen from those girls who have played on their class teams and shown outstan ding ability, enthusiasm, and sportsmanship. A cup is presented to the winning team at the Athletic As- sociation banquet. There are three traditional Softball games. First, the A. A. picnic early in the fall when the faculty plays the students. The second, on Apple Day, the blue-eyed team plays the brown-eyed team. The third, closing the official soft- ball season, for anyone interested in just playing for fun is followed by a picnic at the Athletic Field. 125 Hiking has proven itself one of the true all seasonal sports. Breakfast hikes are the speciali- ty with one moonlight hike promised. Due to the unpredicatable fall weather not many break- fast hikes could be scheduled, but the spring has held more. The always popular breakfast hike features a brisk jaunt to the park, many cooks plying theii H art over an open fire and a hike back to college in time for first period classes. ' RECREATIONAL SPORTS Each year the Athletic Association sponsors a varied program of minor sports. There are tournaments in badminton and ping-pong. Arrangements are made for Saturday morning bowling at the Y with an award offered at the end of the year for the highest scores in both duck and ten pins. Near-by facilities for golf are made available in the fall and spring months. Pool, always popular, becomes more interesting when a billiard expert is invited for an evening of demonstration. During exams a Rec of the Week Contest takes place. The Rec is the student who has taken part in the great- est number of sports for that week. 126 TENNIS With the arrival of spring all eyes are turned toward the tennis tournament, a group of match- es deciding the school championship for both doubles and singles. Anyone desiring practice may participate in the Preliminaries held during the fall. Both Spring and Fall the courts are constantly in use by aspirants for the cup. Tennis is a most popular sport at Mary Bald- win. There is always time for a quick game either for pleasure or improvement of technique. A few hardy souls will even brave January weather for a match. ARCHERY Archery has taken a most prominent place among our fall and spring ac- tivities. During the fall a variety of shoots were scheduled. The balloon and the William Tell shoots were among the most popular. A whole week was de- voted to the William Tell Shoot in order that more could participate. At the close of the week, those meeting entrance requirements became mem- bers of the William Tell Club. In the spring, the interests of all archers were directed toward the archery tournament. The tournament winner received a cup from the Athletic Association at its annual banquet. 127 MONOGRAM CLUB Betty Farrington President A.mie Trask Vice-President Betty Owen Secretary-Treasurer The Monogram Club is composed of stu- dents who, at the end of their second year, have earned and received the college mono- gram. A student, to be eligible must have been a member of five class or dormitory teams representing at least three different sports. She must have shown an effort to improve and to spread an interest in athletic activities among other students. Sponsors for the club are Miss Ruth Reid and Miss Christine Foster.

He was at last transformed into the lovely flower which now hears his name and is symbolic of beauty. 129 CLASS DAY AND PAGEANT— JUNE 1948 130 JEAN WHIPPLE CLASS OF ' 49 The girls in the Beauty Section were selected by the student body and are presented in the order chosen 131 X«J MARGARET ANN NEWMAN CLASS OF ' 49 JOAN MOORE CLASS OF ' 49 CHARLOTTE JACKSON CLASS OF ' 51 AMIE TRASK CLASS OF ' 50 i - EVELYN LACY CLASS OF ' 49 ELLEN FINLEY ANDREWS CLASS OF ' 49 JANE SEBRELL CLASS OF ' 49 MURIEL KING CLASS OF ' 49 THE COLLEGE MARSHALS and USHERS MARGARET ANN NEWMAN Chief Marshal The college marshals and ushers, who reflect not only the beauty i the student body but the grace and poise, as well, usher at concerts, and at all other college functions.

These flowers are the emblems of the royal houses of England and France. Miss Baldwin was descended from both Al- fred the Great and William the Norman. THE BLUESTOCKING We have often been asked the origin of the word Bluestocking , so we are reprinting one explanation of the name. In the late eighteenth century it was the fashion to hold soirees at which women were permitted to participate in conversation with literary and ingenious men. These societies came to be known as Blue Stocking Clubs be- cause one of the most eminent members of these clubs, Mr. Benjamin Stillingfleet, wore blue worsted stockings rather than the more common black silk stockings of that day. Such was the excellence of his conversation and so great a loss was his absence felt to be that it became the fashion to say when he was not present, We can do nothing without the bluestockings. The term has come into com- mon and popular use to denote women who show a taste for learning and an inclination toward intellectual pastimes. David T.

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.
