' BRAHY OF 45597 BLUESTOCKING KING BUILDING MEMORIAL AND HILL TOl ' 1 fcfc 9 S? M ijiSM ■H McCLUNG (Side Entrance ) HAM AND ]AM FOREWORD Seen first on the Coat of Arms of Miss Mary Julia Baldwin ' s family, the squirrel has put in frequent appear- ences at M.B.C. He perches atop our Crest; he scampers across the lawns; he resides in the oaks surrounding the campus and ultimately appears on the class rings of those graduating from Mary Baldwin. We hope that he will be a symbol, a reminder of your years in college. Perhaps in his antics with the faculty, the clubs and the student body you will see a little of yourself a little of the spirit of Mary Baldwin. ANNE ELIZAUKTH I ' ARKKR. M.. . I) can of Students DEDICATION As a dean she has shown insight and wisdom in the handling of the various problems of this student body — as an advisor she has always been ready with understanding and patience in the many emergen- cies, both large and small, which have arisen — as an individual she has been gracious and lovely — a sym- bol of the charm which all Mary Baldwin girls are said to possess. It is in an effort to express our appreciation of all that she has done for us that we dedicate this, the 1950 Bluestocking, to Miss Elizabeth Parker.

BRIDGES Sponsor Colors of the Class of 1950 Scarlet and Gold [21] JEANNE HEREFORD ASHBY Charlestdii, ' e.st Nirsjinia Candidate for Bachelor of Arts Degree E I! g lis 1 1 Bunny , as she is known to everyone on the campus, has been an outstand- ing asset to her class. Since her main interest is journaHsm it seemed- quite natural that she should have been elected as Editor of Campus Coinpicnts this year. She worked on the staff of the paper her junior year as a feature writer, and that year she was also a member of the Miscellany staff. Her senior year she was asked to serve as a member of the E.xecutive Committee of the Virginia Intercollegiate Press Association. As Editor of Campus Comments, Runny was also a member of th e Presidents ' Forum. She was a member of the Music Club her junior year, and she served as secretary of I.R.C. that year, too. In fact she was an active member of the International Relations Club all four years. She was second place in the contest held in her sophomore ear to choose Miss Mary Baldwin . [22] MARGARET ANN BARRIER llii h I ' diiil, North Carolina Candidate for Bachelor of Arls Degree Sociology Affectionately (hilihed The General by those who have known her through seven seasons of ' archery at M.B.C., Margaret ' s talents extend to many fields. She will perhaps be best remembered as Editor of the Bluestocking and Associ- ate Editor of the Miscellain: As vice-president and program chairman _ot the Y her senior year and as a Commission leader her junior year, she further demonstrated her capabilities. Too numerous to mention are her activities in the Glee Club French Club, Music Club and Westminister Club. Add to these her membership on the Chapel Committee and the Presidents ' Forum and you have a few of the reasons why she was named for Who ' s Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges . Blessed with a wonderful mind and the ability to pass Social Theory, we all look to Margaret as this country s next leading sociologist. [23] GWENDOLYN BURTON Clarksville, irginia Candidate for Bachelor of Arts Dc(jrcc Sociology Gwen ' s frit-ndlv and happy disposition has endeared her to all, and her quick- wit makes her the life of the party. During her four years at Mary Bdldwin vivacious Gwen has participated in various activities. For two years she was a member of the Music Club, and twice she danced in the Commencement Pageant. Her senior year she was a House Advisor and also vice-president of her class. She helped to make The Cluh the place for fun and relaxation by serving on the Club House Committee. Almost any free period Gwen could be found at The Club proving herself an expert at Canasta .... or perhaps she was deep in Social Theory for Dr. Grafton ' s next test. Her beauty was seen in the King Building on numerous occasions as she ushered for the various functions held there this past year. Wherever there is something going on Gwen is sure to be there to help make it a success, and we ' ve going to miss her when she officially joins the ranks of alumnae. [24] ANNA ROSE CACCIAPAGLIA StauiUiiu, irgiiiia Candidate for Bachelor of Arts Degree Einjlish When Rose transferred to Marv Baldwin from the College of Notre; Dame of Maryland we were luckv. For three years she has taken part m Day Student Club activities and in her junior and senior years she belonged to the Spanish Club The Miscellany protited from her services as assistant business manager last year and as a feature editor when a senior. In her junior year she also be- longed to the Music Club. Her presence in class is tamiliar to both Knglish and Spanish majors and an exasperating statement the day students would recognize as hers is I didn ' t have much homework last night, so I read the best novel . . ._. Some of us will recommend her to her future classes too, tor reasons not academic. We ' ve found she ' s the kind of person who is always ready to help us out or take time to explain what we don ' t understand. [25] SARAH DEGGE CALDWELL l i lani ike, irginia Candidate for Bachelor of Arts Degree EiujHsh Dee ' has been interested in just about every campus activity, and she has made a valuable contribution t(j them all. She was a member of the Music Club and the French Club for all four years. Her sophomore year she served as pub- licity chairman of the Biology Club and she was a member of this club her fresh- man year also. She has been very interested in the Miscellany and has contribut- ed to its every issue ! Her sophomore year she was a staff member and her junior year she was selected as associate editor. This year she was associate poetry editor. Dee was a member of the International Relations Club and the West- minister Fellowship her freshman and sophomore years. She worked with V committees her sophomore and senior } ' ears. [26] NANCY LEE COHEN Staiintiin, irt; ' inia Candidate f ' r Bachelor .of Arts Degree Psvehology Cuddles is one of those versatile girls who can do just about anything. She h?iS been an active member of both Day Student and Music Clubs all four years and served as secretary of the Day Student Club when a sophomore and as presi- dent in her senior year. Her monogram symbolizes participation in class and dormitory sports. During her first two years she was laboratory assistant in Physics and in her last two, served as secretary of the Student Library Committee. As a junior, The Bluestocking claimed her for its business manager. Then, in her senior year, Nancy served on the Student Council and Presidents ' Forum and was elected to the Mary Baldwin Honor Society. Naturally she was elected to Who ' s Who in American Colleges and LTniversities . We predict tha t she will go far in whatever she mav do. [27] FRANCES COSTELLO Clarkshurjj-, West X ' ir inia Candidate for Bachelor of Arts Degree Speech There ' s hardly a phase of dramatic work at Mar}- ISalduin in which Frances hasn ' t participated. Coming as a sophomore transfer in the Fall of 1946, she finished in January 1950. A member of the Spanish Club for two years, she joined both the Glee Club and the Dramatic Club in 1947. She was the secretary c.f tine latter organization in the ' 48- ' 49 session. She played in R. U. R. , Gander Sauce , and Stardust . She directed Girls Must Talk , was production manager for You Can ' t Take It with You , did the make-up for Chicken Every Sunday and the costuming for Stardust . She will be well remembered by Mary Baldwin and by Staunton youngsters in her radio role of Aunt Frances on W. T. O. N. [28] JACQUELINE LANIER EDWARDS Franklin, X ' irginia Candidate for Bachelor of Arts Degree Speech Jackie, as chairman of the Ckib Huuse Committee, was well known to ever - one on the campus. In this capacity, she also served as a member of the Presidents ' Forum. She had served on the Club House Committee her sophomore and junior years. Her interest in dramatics has been obvious since she joined the Dramatic Club her freshman year and began to take part in all of their activities. Her senior year she was vice-president of the Curtain Callers and co-director of the play Pot-Luck . Jackie has been interested in Campus Comments and has been a member of the staff every year. She was a member of the Music Club her freshman year, ' e will all Inng remember Jackie as Re ba in her role in ' You Can ' t Take It With You. [29] ANNE WILEY FAW KichiiK 111(1, N ' irojinia Candidate for Bachelor of .Irts Degree Sociology Aniif will always bt- renicnibtTcd for her charm and licauty as an uslu-r. She was always ready to help find those books in the library that just weren ' t on the shelf anywhere! One of the Canasta fans, she was always willing to play just one short game. Her smile and gay personality gave much to her classmates. Her junior year was an especially busy one for Anne. She was secretary of .her class, and also a member of the business staff of Campus Comments and the Cabin Committee. Anne showed her interest in music bv being in the Music Club her first two years here, and her interest in the dance was shown by her dancing in the Pageant both her freshman and junior years. In her sophomore year she made us all happier by her service on the Friendship Committee of the Y . That year she was kept busy collecting ads for Campus Comments as a member of its business staff. The seniors expressed their confidence in . nni ' by electing her their class social chairman. With all her activities, it ' s no wdnder that Anne will be remembered as a girl full of fun and alwa s ready to help. [30] NANCY CLARK FINCH I Idcjpcsttm, llliiinis Candidate for Bachelor of Arts Dcyrcc Art ■•Finch left u-; for a whik- in lu-r junior vear to attend the University of Ilhnois ' School of Fine and Applied Arts. ' hile there she pledged Alpha Gamma Delta sororitv and participated in the Homecoming Stunt Show. Fortunately she returned to Mary Baldwin, for she has served her class in many ways. As chairman of the Social ' Committee she planned our parties and dances for us. If you have ever wondered how in the world the schedules are arranged so that everything gets in, ask Nancy for she was secretary of that committee her senior vear. She has been a member of the Art Club for all her time here, and her work has been evident in manv of our decorations. Also, we have seen her work as a member of the Publicity Committee of the Y . A member of the Canterbury Club, Nancy entered wholeheartedly into its activities. Nancy was not all work, however. She was a willing fourth ' at Bridge or winner in that exciting game ot Canasta. Finch has made ' ' herself well-liked by all who have known her through- out her years at Mary Baldwin. .

For four years Mary P.aldwin has claimed Louise, and we hate to give her up but our part- ing gift to her was the election to preside as Queen over the Commencement Pageant.

Forever off on a weekend somewhere, Judy ' s infectious smile and good looks have graced more campuses tha n the less popular of us would care to count. If Judy is representative of Roanoke, then, as far as M. V . C. is concerned, Roanoke must be a very nice ])lace. [38] NANCY CAROL KIRCHNER (ianilirills, Maryland Candidate far Bacliclor of .

Although for many years the tradition of student cooperative action had existed through an elementary Student Association, a YAV.C.A., and an Athletic Association, the first formal steps of organization were taken- in the spring of 1929. Previous to this, student government systems in many colleges similar to Mary Baldwin were studied. Then a faculty committee and a representative group of students drew up a constitution and a system of regulations, which were a- dopted by the entire student body. Four officers were elected: a president, vice- president, secretary, and treasurer, and the formal installation took place on C)cto- ber 23, 1929. President Jarman described the impressive ceremony as the out- standing and possibl} ' the most far-reaching achievement of the session. ' In its early years, the Association was concerned witli the immediate jirob- lems of government — the evolution of rules and their enforcement. As it has matured through the years, however, it has broadened its scope to include con- structive activities and the larger poficies of school life as well as the problems of discipline. The basis of the system lies in the individual honor of each student, and it is because of this feeling of personal honor and cooperation that the Stu- dent Government has grown in its twent3 ' -one years and continually broadened its scope and maturity. It is the purpose of the Association that each student will not only develop greater strength of character, nobler ideals, and a higher Christian living during her stay at Mary Baldwin, but that she Vi carry these ideals with her throughout her life. w -- [84] First Ro ' cc: H;irrietle Shahaii, Pat Hoshall, Flossie Wimberly, Belt.v Jean Gilmer Second Row.

This was in the fall of hS94. Miss Baldwin ' s interest in the spiritual growth of the students heljied the Y. W. to cxjiand rai)idly and soon it hecame a mcjst effective hond hetween the student hotly and a valuable organization for so-jial service. Beside being the oldest student organization at Mar ' ]5aldwin, the Y. W. C. A. was also the first organization to participate in activiiies beyond the Seminary. Dele- gates were sent to regional con entions and in 1902 llu- Y. . C. A. conventinii of X ' irginia was held at Mar Baldwin Seminary. The Y. W. work has always included contributions to foreign missions. Not only did this organization contribute to the relief fund during the first World War, hut it has continued in such work, including the Near East Relief, European Student Fellowship Fund, and many social causes at home. In 1920, the Y. W. C. A. achieved a one-hundred percent membership of the students. In 1927, the student report to Thu BuiiisrocKiNi; indicated the activities which the As- .sociation included : The needs of the students for ' good times ' and ' daily bread ' , for friend- ship, worship, power, vision. i)rayer, and song — all these things the Y.

In 1899, the Literary Society of Marv Baldwin Seminary sponsored the first Mis- cellany. Since that first February issue, the Mis- cellany has made regulai ' appearances, providing an excellent record of student life and interests. Throughout the first World War no newspaper was published. Even the Bluestocking was discontinued in 1917 as a measure of war econ- omy, but the Miscellany continued to provide the literary outlet for the school. Although once a combination of n ews and classical reviews, the magazine has gradually be- come more restricted. Its emphasis has shifted from fornud critical essays to creative writing, usually in a lighter vein. Nevertheless, the Mis- cellany still holds the function of guide and pro- moter of literary activity at Marv Baldwin. In intermittent vears the magazine has sponsored contests for the students, oft ' ering prizes for the best in poetry and prose. Now a special award is presented in both of these fields for the out- standing contributions of the year. The origin of the name, Misccllanv. is obscure, but it has become a title full of meaning for stu- dents, faculty, and alumnae. A member of the Virginia Intercollegiate Press Association and the National Scholastic Press Association, the Mis- ccllanv has won honors in both state and national contests. LTnder its sponsorship the Campus Comments made its debut in 1924, soon to be an important publication in its own right. For fiftv- one years, the Miscellany has presented port- folios of creative writing, a literarv magazine penned, designed, and edited by and for the stu- dents of Mary Baldwin College.

Usually one medal- lion is presented to a member of the graduating class and one to an alumna or some other person who has interest in and association with the college. At the 1949 Commencement this award was presented to: Mr. Edmund D. Campbell, of Washington, D.

Tradition demands that the lary Baldwin girl he a good sport. Mary Baldwin progressed from the black flannel suit of 1890 to the turtle neck sweater of 1904. From 1913 to 1916 golf and tennis were popular sports played by sailor-clad girls. Clubs were formed in these sports. La 1919 the Athletic Association of Mary Baldwin Seminary was organized for the purpose of stimulating an interest in sports, promoting school spirit and giving every student an opportunity of taking an active part in some form of athletics. The school was divided into yellow and white teams which were contestants for trophies in five major sports including basketball and hockey. In later years the division of the school into teams was discontinued and a leader was elected for each of the major sports. In 1922 Tlie Athlelie Spirit was published by the Association; the purpose of which was to sum up its activities and accomplishments. From this beginning the Athletic Association of Mary Baldwin has grown until today it sponsors participation in ]iractically every sport popular among women. The avowed purpose of the Athletic Association of Mary Baldwin Col- lege is to plan and direct an athletic program that aims to establish in every stu- dent the habit of wholesome, physical recreation. l(!«lri [104] First Ro7i ' : A.

There were several intramural games between classes. The senior class was not represented in hocke} ' this past fall ; therefore tliere were only three games — Soph. vs. Fresh. {5-i). Soph. vs. Juniors (5-2), Juniors vs. Freshman (1-1), thus giving the championship to the Sophomf)re class. As every year, M. B. C. was represented by an especially selected hockey team at Roanoke College in Salem. Those chosen as members of the ' irginia Reserve team were A. T..

The last four made the 1st team and attended a tournament .it Weslhamptdn in Richmond. .X . [106] Jjasketball The favorite- winter sport is, of course, basketball. The season is from the first of February to the middle of March. The otherwise inactivity of winter is enlivened by this exciting and thrilling indoor sport. The dormitory teams are divideil into two groups: The llig League, com- p(.)sed of three larger dorms and the day students; and The Little League, the players from the smaller dorms making up this group.

A varsity team, comprised of the most outstanding players, is chosen at the end of the season. Picnics and Softball just naturally go together. Tn early fall, there is an A.

The final picnic of the year is usually in May at the Athletic Field. [109] . ' ' Ivecreational The recreational sports are those in which everyone may participate at any season of the school year.

The Robin Hoods of the Alary ISaldwin campus exhibit their skills with the bow and arrow in both fall and spring. In the fall a competitive shoot was held for all the classes.

Sometimes it is the nature of a craft to create an unbreakable tie between itself and the worker in that field, a heart attachment equal to lifetime devotion. 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. Years of experience have taught us! Printing Pays Us Only When It Pays Von!
