She is never too occupied to share a few minutes of pleasant conversation as we sign in and out at the Dean ' s desk. She is active not only in college affairs but in civic affairs as well. We are proud to dedicate the 1953 edition of the BLUESTOCKING to Mrs. Julia Littell Patch who will be remembered with lasting affection by all who attend Mary Baldwin. JULIA LITTELL PATCH Assistant to the Dean of Students fcieivc c) The yearbook is a reflection of our life at Mary Baldwin, of the faculty to whom we owe so much, not only remembered as pro- fessors but also as friends, of the girls we have lived with and grown with, and shar- ed with those many experiences we will never forget, of the activities into which we have entered, of the teams with whom we have won and lost, of the girls we especial- ly admire for their beauty and grace .... all of these things we wish to remember. The theme reflection has been chosen for the BLUESTOCKING this year in hopes that its pages may ever recall to us and reflect before our eyes the school days of 1952- 1953. 10 facult V AXK I ' .l ' I.L I.KWIS, Ph. 1).

Her chihiren are quite pleased to follow their class president for she has lieen a good one. But her executive duties have not interfered with fretjuent trips !o Annapolis to visit Ed — somehow T ' at always manages to arise in time to catch the 4:00 a. ni. train to Washington, and we feel .sure that her dates with him are more successful than the social attempts of one Mella l- ' leece. As a drama major Pat adapted her play for acting from a short story to gi e us the wonderful drama, Bella Fleece Gives a Party. We must not forget her fine performance in The Women nor her courageous attempts at hockey and other class sports. ' e are all glad that Pat decided to finish school here after her one semester awav. 24 HELEN DABNEY DEANE Fort Defiance, ' irt;inia Candidate [or Bachelor of Arts Dryrc English DabiU ' V commutes to school from Ft. Dcfianct- fvi-r - day. She is a .ijiil vc all ailmirc because she is always willing to help in any situation. This year she came out for hockey for the first limr and played an energetic half-back for the senior team — vou really did some fighting for that ball, Dabney ! As a junior she also supported her class by entering the swimming meet. She has always shown an interest in visiting V.S.D.B. For several ears Dabney was an art student and painting is still one of her favorite pastimes; for the past three years she has sold pictures in X v annual art auction. JENNIE BLAND EVANS Knaiicike, Xirt iiiia L ::i(liilalc for Hachchiy of .Irts Ih ' ijrci Siicioloc x Jennie is another of the seniors who is a bride-to-be. Sh and her roommate really caused a sensation one week-end in tli fall when they both came back with diamond rings. Jenni was lucky to have some practice for the ceremony by being th bride in the Riddle skit! This year at many of the King serie and (ither performances we have seen Jennie in lu-r stylish black dress conducting people to their seats. Not really l)eing th athletic type, Jennie surprised everyone when she came out to support the junior team in volleyball last year. We never see Jennie on week-ends — every Friday it seems, she packs her over- night bag and with hatbox in hand, she departs for home. 26 LOUISE NELSON FRAY Orange, X ' irginia Candidate for Bachelor of .Irts Dcijrct Economics and Socioloi x We w ill alwaxs remember Nelson for her pretty bright red hair, but she doesn ' t have the temper that sometimes goes with il. Since Xelson has been at M. B. C. she has shown a partic ular interest in music and has sung in the Glee Club. She has also l)een a member of the Music and International Relations Clubs. This year she has worked on the business staff of Campus Cnninunls and has served on a ' committee. As for sports Xelson has supported teams in both hockey and basketball. A familiar topic of conversation with Nelson is her experiences at Massanetla where she spends most of her summer vacation. 27 MARGARET ANN GARRETT Weill ' Suniinit. -sl Virginia Candidate far luichclor of .Irfs Dcj rc Economics and Socioloi y lMargart.-t is one ui tlu- tew scniurs witliout a SdUtlv, ni drawl. Although slu- is usuallx ' i|iiift those who know her wf ' l will xouch f(jr hi-r wontk-rful sense of humor which shows itsell at une pecte l moments. Margaret acted as secretary of her class during her junior year and having lieen an active menibe ' (jf the International Relations Club in the past, she becan:e sec- retary of that club this year. Another accomplishment Margaret can acclaim is winning the Russell schclarship, an annual award made to a student majoring in History, Political Science, or re- lated subjects. I ' lesides acting as secretary for the Music Clu ' i Margaret has a full time job as Piusiness Manager of Campu■ Comments this year, ' ou ' ll never forget those ads will you. Margaret ? 28 LINA KATHERINE GARROTT Tunica, Alississii)!)! Candidate for Bachelor of .Irts Ih-i re .Uncrtcan Studies ' lu-n Kitty is nut dashing away f(jr a weekend at W ' . J to hv sweetluart of the S. A. I ' l. ' s or to help liill with his rushin;; slie stays busy on campus. Kitty has always heen active in sports and as a sophomore was the treasurer of the Athletic Association We missed Kitt} the following year but fortunately Kitty missed us enough to transfer back from ' anderbilt. Her ability as a hn:ke - plax ' er was evident as she led the senior team this year acting as its captain. Not many of us will forget the Christmas I ' ance decorations which were a result of hard work from th social committee directed by Kitty as social chairman. We will also remember Kit:y as one of the attendants to the May yueen, an 1 that statement made on many Friday chapels Please ()U all come to the dance, there will be plenty of boys! 29 ELIZABETH LOUISE GAULDING Caiiduhitc for Jhichchir of .Irts Degree Muthciiialics Perhaps Piftly Lou. tlic littk ' girl with ihi- (Uniplcs who is sometimes mistaken for the little l;ov in the Campbell ' s soup ad. is known mainly lor her work as vice-jiresident of the Student Council, livery Friday we saw her struggle to bring the Chapel to attention while we chatted merrily on. IV-ing h(]use president of McCluiig was no easy job either, especialU ' with forty-five freshmen! Betty Lou participated in many sports during her years at Mary P aldvvin — she was one of the chief swimmers of her class, and as a hockey player . . . lloy. she knocked them coM .... one way or another, . lthough she is a math major. Bettv Lou shows an active interest in law which has spread to most of her friends. 30 MARGARET DEAS GIGNILLIAT Savannah, (ieorgia Cciiidiilatc for Bachelor of Arts nc(jrcc Art rv-sjjgy, the only senior art major, has found her talent to be rr - much in demand during her college years. As a sophomore i ' eggy shared the responsibilit}- of the spring dance (remember ihose fish, Peg?). As a junior she won first prize for her gay circus designs in the mural contest for the Nursery school, and this year has shown talent in making the golden angel wings for the Christmas play, and in winning first prize for the seniors with liei ' dinner table decoratiiins. As president of the Athletic Ass( cia;iiin she headed the A, A. Christmas workshop, 1ea ' :hing all kiirls of creative proje cts. I ' ut all of Peg ' s ability is not along tlie artistic line for this slow speaking Georgian is outstand- ing on the basketball court and quite a swimmer too. Not com- |)letely satisfied with life in the United States, Peggy traveled to Mexico several years ago. We still enjoy her tales of the Cdlorful sights she witnessed there. 31 ROBERTA JUSTUS HENDERSON Lyiuhliur. -, ' irj;ini;i Caiid ' uhiU- for I ' uchcUir of .Irts Dctjrcc Ihaimilic .Iris and S ' Ccch Many famous stars of stage ami screen have been noticed for their raincoats. There is tlie Alan Ladd-Huniphre)- Bogart t pe which is worn belted and up around the face; there is the Garbo type of in ' Stery ; but none has ever gained the fame nt Bobsie ' s. Why? We hesitate to say bluntly; lei it suffice t(j say that it has served many a useful purpose both in the dining room and down town. But we wonder why she won ' t take it off Maybe being a drama major has something to do with it. liobsie directed the unusual and fine production of Ario da Capo in the fall. Maybe the raincoat is psychologically involved with her capable swimming ability. Who knows? Only about two bun dred and fifty students suspect anything at all. 32 ALICE ARMISTEAD JAMES Savannah, (re(ii L;ia Candidate for Injcliclor of .Irfs najn Spanish Alici ' is the onl}- Spanish major in the senior class this year. She seemed to he a httle worried ahout being alone for com- |irehensi es, but no one need worry about Alice — she has a mar- elous knack for doing a semester ' s work in a few hours ! Other time she spends making plans for this summer when she will be married. We are happy that this will bring her back up Virginia way to Charlottesville where she plans to teach. Since Alice has lieen at Mary Baldwin she has taken an active interest in dorm and class sports, and has served on the A. A. council. Her junior year she lived in Little House and she recalls some wonder- ful days spent there. Alice did a fine jol) in the Alumnae office this ear. We will expect you to keep up this interest in Mary r.aldwin and send us some students in the future, Vlice ! 33 NATALIE LOUISE JOHNSON San AntDinn, Tr. a Candidate (or I ' achclor oj .Irts Degree English Natalii- is a lone star in thi- senior class who liails from Texas — it doesn ' t take l)iit one! She transferred here in her sophomore year from the L niversity of Texas and we must all admit that Texas ' loss is Marv llaldwin ' s gain. What would we have done at dance time if it had not been for Natalie? l e- memlier white Christmas trees, stars and fish? I)einjj ' student treasurer this year she has really learned to stretch the doUar Ve understand this experience may come in handy soon. Natalie ' s is a familiar face to many visitors at school for slv; helps out at the dean ' s desk many afternoons during the week A familiar gripe — If you ' re expecting a date please don ' t ask who is there when N ' ou ' re told our guest has arrived . 34 ANN FAIRFAX LEE The riaiiis, ' iri,nni;i Candidate for Bachelor of Arts Oc(jri ■ Dramatic Arts and Sfccch Ann Lee is a regular song bird, and a prett - one we all agree. Her voice has added greatly t o tlie glee club anil chapel choir during her years at Mar ' Baldwin. Ann is usually asked t(i sing a solo for her dorm in the carol contest, but her junior year she took time out to direct Memorial in singing Whit child is this . As a senior tlrama major Ann directed the ver} ' Inxt ' ly Christmas play — The York Nati ily . ; charter member 1)1 the I ' -ta Beta Pis Ann stays busy in the dining room between trills to the music building, answering strange letters from strangf boys, banging away on the RiddU ' ]iiano. and dreamin.g of places somewlnere f) er the rainbow . 35 DORIS JANE LIDDLE Richlands, X ' irginia Cdiiduhitc (or Harliclor of .his Degree Psychology Doris has provt-n lur oiUstandin,;; ability this year in hciii ' ; house president of Riddle, which she ' ll tell you is quite a jol). Besides that sjreat responsibility she has found n-.any spare hours to work on that needlepoint, to which all other members of Riddle deserve credit for at least one row. Another talent Dons owns can not be overlooked, for she plays the piano at dorm de- votions every Wednesday night. Doris is one of the best natured persons on campus. It ' s a good thing though, because people certainly take advantage of her by teasing and playing jokes all the time. Doris ' sweet and friendly disposition are just several of the qualities that led the student body to elect her May Queen. 36 JOAN CRAIG MARTIN Ronceverte, West Virginia Candidate fur Bachelor of .Irts Deyre Biology Joan was one- of the honored members of that intellectual and scholarly organization known as the Tri-Betas, serving as president of the club this year. She achieved this honor as a biology major with a great interest for the species of creature called, in sborl. bugs . Ileing a welbrounded student of biology usualK ' implies an interest in rocks. Joan has not neglected this l)hase lit her scientific studies. Just lake a look at the third finder of the left hand! Joan has several times left the bugs 111 enter into other acti ities ; she has played hockey for her class .nid was captain of the Lower Hill Top basketball team last year. 1 ' erhaps even as she raced up and down the hocke ' field she bad line e e on the insects that live there. ?7 VIRGINIA CACCIAPAGLIA MARTIN StauiUon, ' irginia Camlnlatc for Bachelor of Arts Dcgre English Virginia is tlu- bride of the scninr class this year haviiit; become Mrs. Walter Martin early in the fall. liesides super- vising the domestic chores at Imnie, N ' irginia also manaijes the men in English Literature with son:e skill. She tie l for second place in scholastic standing in the junior class la ' -t year, and has been known to make the honors list. X ' irginia is a favorite with the day students, always keeping them well en- tertained with her wit and humor. Few can beat her at those lunch time Canasta games of which she is an enthusiastic fan ; some claim she has a natural insight because she always picks up the pile. Virginia also put her few spare minutes into writing for The Miscellanv this vear. MARILYN MYERS Harrishurjj, I ' ennsvhania Caiid ' ulatc for Bachelor of Arts Ih i n Dramatic .Irts ami Speech (i| only was Honey a strong Ike supporter, but politics made her an equally strong supporter of W L. Honey worked tirelessK in the campaign here at Mary Tialdwin and in Staunton. As president of the I. R. C. she did a fine joli. We will also remember Honey for the Chapel programs in which she talked on world affairs and economics. Aside from world affairs wc find Ilone - an active member of the Curtain Callers; the job of MCi-e;ary-treasnrer is not an easy one in any organization, and Ml the Curtain Callers it ' s practically an impossible one. She also directed the fine production of ' The Women which ap- l eared in l- ' ebruarw All in all, Honey has participated in n ' .anv and ,iiied activities during her four Years at MliC. 39 ELMA ROLLINS Charlotte, Xorth Carolina Candidate for Bachelor of Arts Degree Psyeholiiyy Elma might well be called the chatterer of the class of ' 53. She can somehow manage conversation on any subject. Contrary to most talkers she always listens intently to every word you have to .say ! Surely one thing Elma will remember most about her senior year is popping corn and fixing other goodies at the fireplace with J. B. and Peggy. One of Elma ' s favorite pastimes is reading short stories in the popular magazines. She especially likes the ones about teen age problems. Some day she may be a Psychiatrist and then she can help them solve those problems. Elma is one of the few Mary Baldwin girls who has been honored by having her picture on the front of LII E magazine. Perhaps someday they will do an article on I ' dma ' s dancing, a talent always in demand at the club. 40 CHARLOTTE MARIE SHEFFER Staunton, Virginia Caiidiiliitc for Bachelor of .Iris Dcijri Bible Charlotte was president of the Day Student Club this year and (lid a j;ood job as leader of that group. She was secretan ' of the club lur junior year. As a junior Charlotte was also assistant business manager of the BLUESTOCKING and never will she forget those trips back and forth to town collecting advertisements. Charlotte acted as secretary to Miss Carr and the plea, I ' liase bring us some cookies from the dining room is a faniilar one to lier. Besides taking an active part in the affairs of her church Charlotte has participated with interest in the ' S ' . V. C. A. on campus. We hear that Charlotte is planning on teaching next year but since the addition of that diamond on lur left hand we are not sure what her future will be, teacher oi- housewife. 41 JEANNE BELLE SHERRILL States -ille. Xorlli C ' ar(iliiia Caudulatc (or Bachelor of Arts Degree French WluTcver yim lu-ar tlu- wtirds of ■ ' You belong ' to nu- you can 1)1 ' suri.- Jeanne Belle is around. This song produces amazing results from her, especially when it comes to letter writing! She ' s one of Mary Baldwin ' s prettiest girls and has plenty of poise to go with it. These are the qualities that led to her election as chief marshall and attendant to the May Queen. She ' s also one of the French majors and president of the French club. Early in the year, before becoming engaged, J. B. could be seen at odd hours of the morning leaving for Annapolis. Now she can be heard at odd hours talking on the telephone to Bermuda ! 42 MARY JO SHILLING Candidate for Bachelor of Arts Dctjr, Psyrlioloi y Mar - Jo, who is a regular member of the Day SUuleiit Clul), i a must versalile ' ' u ' ]. Heiiis; a Psychology major she stays busy grading psych reports, trying out her hypnotic powers, or talking about her summer ' s work at the Western State Hospital. As a junior Mary Jo was the editor of The Miscellany and is admired for her poetr_ - which has won various aw ards in the past. She has had several poems accepted by the National Poetry Society for publication in the Annual Anthology of College- Poetry. Mary Jo has been the recipient of the Y.W ' .C.A. scholar- ship for two ears. She was on the Y.W ' .C.A. cabinet this ye.ar and will be remembered for her fine work witii the children at V.S.D.B. and the ladies at the Betty Bickle home. Mary Jo is i hard worker along academic lines and has been on the honors list for three years. This year she won the high honor of being elected to Who ' s Who in American Colleges and Universities. 43 ETHEL MAE SMEAK (ireeinille, Smith Carolina Candidate fur Bachclar of Arts Degree English There are not many activities at Mary I ' .alilwin in which Ethel has not participated with her usual enthusiasm. Xo ime was surprised when she was elected to appear in W ' lio ' s Who ui American Colleges and Universities , luhel has done a com- mendable job as president of the Student Council having ha 1 previous experience on the Council as house president of Chapel her jun ' or year. In that same year she was awarded the blazer given by the Athletic Association for her active part in athletic — she has shown her love for sports in hockey, swin:niing, baske ' - ball. and tennis. Perhaps one of Ethel ' s fonilest u ' .emories is o ' her unforgettable weeks spent at the famous Hocke - Camp with the Yankees ! The roll of cooing Baby Smeak has been a familar one to us at all parties that call for costumes, but then Ethel ha always been active in dramatics. Ethel, we predict that you will go far in the future but we wonder just what you ' ll be doing! 44 MARY WEBER STONER Fredericks! lursj, Xir inia Candidate for Bachelor of .Irts Ddjri Draiinilic .Iris and Spcccli ( )Ii now really has gotten to be a well-known expression aniiind the I ' liih. Academic, and Memorial. When we hear that we know that Welier is in the vicinity. It ' s not often that we find a dramatist, a basketball official, Council member, and Deweyist (John, not Thomas) all rolled into one with the ex- pression mentioned above playing a prominent part in each. As the dirtctor of Barretts of Witnpole Street we heard, Oh now rrally, yon can put more into it than that. On the basketball cciurt, ( )li n(]w really, what ' s going on? In philos: ])liy. Oh now rc;dl ' , liow can you believe that? And on top of all that we hear the famous ring of the cowboy boots as they clomp the dusty halls of the MBC ranch and we hear too the plaintive voice of the lone house president as she picks up the objects from the t.ible, saying, Oh now really, I pass. 45 JO ANN THACKER Staunton, iryinia Cajidulalc for Ilachclor of Arts Dcyre i ' sycholoijy Prchaps most of us think of Jo Ann as a permanent resi- dent behind the desk in the library where she patiently fills out cards and stamps books, but Jo Ann has a sense of humor which doesn ' t burst forth in the silence of the library. The Day Stu- dents, of whom jo Ann is a member, enjoy those Canasta games with her for she helps keep lunch-time full of fun. Thacky . as she is called by those who know her well, loves to surprise them with a concealed canasta. Jo Ann has never been a star swimmer but this year she played basketball on the Hay Student team and looked as if she was really enjoying- each tjame. 46 JANE CLAY TUCKER Koncexertc, ' est N ' irginia Candidate far Bachelor of .Irt.s Ih-i r, French Tuck, witli a background of active participation in tin- ' .W ' .C.A. ever since her freshman year, took over the presidency of that organization this year and has done an admirable job in lier gui(kmce of our rehgious hfe on campus. This year she was a member of tlie Glee Club, Music Club, and French Club and was a member of the Chapel Choir for three years. Tuck has [Participated in s])orts each year and as a junior played Goalie for the varsity in the tournament at llnllins. She showed great promise of a re|)eat performance this year until a fatal drive dr(] e Tuck from the cage never to return. liut even this she took in good humcn-, a quality of hers that will get her far in this world. Tuck was also elected to Who ' s ' h t in American Colleges and Universities . 47 JO ANNE VAMES Staunton. ' ir.y;inia Candidate (or Bachelor of Arts L)i ' jrce Sncu lo(jy Jo Ann transferred from Mary Washington College, and has been a member of the tlay students during her years at Mary Baldwin. This ear she acted as secretary for the Da - Student Club, and also played an active guard for their basket- ball team. During the few minutes after lunch and before the two o ' clock bell. Jo Ann may be found absorbed in a Canasta game with some of the other day students. The lastest report from T Ann was that it had been a long, long week — perhaps her practice teaching had something to do with this remark! 48 PAULINE VAMES Staiint in. X ' irijiiiia Caiididati ' fur Bachelor of .Irts Ih ' t rt Hist or V ' H, JM I I ' filly is a nu-niliiT of tlu- Day Student L ' luii, and wt- heard that all of her fellow members had a grand time at the big Ca- nasta party at her house in the fall.

You should see the apartment she and Lilly have fixed up this ear in Riddle. Mary comes in handy in more ways than one because she is really a wizar ' l with the I iench. In fact everyone in Riddle is accustomed to hearing ' her call out verbs to her roommate every night. Mar also keeps the dorm entertained with the latest solitaire and she does love monopoly ! Mary attracts pets so there is always a dog or cat to be fed. Slx ' helps out liy bringing dog food back whenever she .goes home. If ever one felt down in the dumps she could drop by the corner room in Riddle to have a cup of tea and philosophize with Mary for awhile. SO Junior Class Officers 1 1 ' .

There was the party for the freshmen wliere a lively and most original circus theme was used, The Greatest Flop On Earth. There were cave-men, ferocious lions, Siamese twins, the vatupire woman, acrobats, singers and tight-rope walkers just to mention a few. All the kiddies were given bubble gum, candied apples, and pink lemonade. All of us juniors took part in this great spectacle in one way or another, and made it as big a success as Crustacea was our freshman year, and A Bus Named Want our scjphomore year. But the dramatic talents of the versatile ' 54 ' ers was not the only thing. Sports entered in V. ith a bang (banged knees, head, etc.). Most of the class gave active support to hockey, swimming, volleyball, and the other sports, even winning the class cup our freshman and sophomore years. (And there are possibilities for this year). But we must not forget to mention our class sponsor who has done so nmch for us — Mrs. Lytton. During exams she had us all to a get-together in the Club, not to mention the many Christrras gifts of candy and the picnic which she gave us last year. I- ' erhaps the s; irit of the juniors can best be seen by the song that was written by them when some of the girls were at the caliin. Here it is: (Tune: Toot, Toot, Tootsie ) Juniors, Juniors, hooray! Juniors, Juniors, touche ! We are tres chic and slim, Our favorite words are — Mon cheri, je vous aime. Juniors, Juniors, are we. Gay and happy, mais oui ! We are the best, of all the rest. You can tell us from the crowd because of our zest. So — babee Juniors;, Juniors, touche ! Tnniors, Inniors, HOORAY!

Hail the Class of ' 35, who really tried to outdo itself last vear. Of their Ratskeller Party ill the downstairs gym in early March, the whole campus was buzzin ' . The painted mirrors, dimmed lights and smoky atmcs- phere carried cut th.e theme to perfection. The sophomores topped their last year ' s party for their sister class in late March of this year. Before turning in, the members of both classes, the sophomores and seniors, hiked up to the club lounge in their pajair.as. Every- one sat around the open fire, toasting marshmallows, chatting and singing. Our class really did its share in planning for the Spring Dance, a main e eiit on tlv school calendar. 1 think all will agree that it was a huge success. Although only fun and frolics have V)een mentioned we rated high in the three competitive class sports : hockey, volleyball, and swimming.

The fresiimen take the pledge at the end of first semester, after they have had several months to come to a fuller realization of honor and co- operation as a basis of their lives. The upper classmen take the pledge on Charter Day, which is the first Monday after classes have begun. The Board of Trustees granted the charter of Student Government to the College — which has, in turn, given it to the Association. The Student Govern- ments considers itself extremely fortunate to have the sincere backing and interest of the College Administration. Honor, the basis of our Student Government, is the living force of our lives at Mary Baldwin. The student learns early that to earn the privileges offered by an honor system such as ours, she must decide whether her loyalties lay solely with herself or also with the college community of which she is such a vital part. We realize that no one is perfect, and this sense of inadequacy and of a need for outside help has drawn the student bodv into a striving for that which is of value, purpose, and meaning in life. PLEDGE : Believing in the principles of Stu- dent Government, I pledge myself to uphold the ideals and regulations of the Association of Mary Baldwin College. I recognize the principles of honor and cooperation as the basis of our life together and shall endeavor faithfully to order my life accordingly and to encourage others to fulfill the ideals of the honor system. 72 Government Association First R(ii ' [ l!etl l,i u (lauKling, Marian Hollingsworlh, Helen Gruver, Weber Stoner SriiDi: Roi .

These societies came to be known as Blue Stocking Clubs be- cause one of the most prominent members of these clubs, Mr. Benjamin Stillingfleet, wore blue V(jrsted stockings rather than the more common black silk stockings of the day. Such was the excellence of his conversation and so great a lf)ss 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 to denote women who show a taste for learning and an inclination toward in- tellectual pastimes. Our yi-arb(iok does not aim to be strictly a literary publication ; its purpose is to be a con- stant reminder of some of our most wonderful years, our college years. Pictures vividly recall the past, and one of our greatest problems has been in choosing pictures, as well as words, that will fulfill our aim in years to come. We hope to have jiresented in this volume an overall and significant picture of this year. So we, the staff, and the junior class whose privilege and responsibility it is to publish the vearbook, present the 1953 edition of the BLUE- STOCKING. To Miss Fannie Strauss the staff would like to express thanks, for without her constant guidance and encouragement our enthusiasm would have been less, and working on the year- book would not have been such a wonderful ex- perience.

However, at first the news was presented in an informal manner; to- day the small and limited staff strives to report the news of Mary Baldwin in a good journal- istic style. Printed bv the students, it is ncjt only fur the campus coninnmity, hut all those interest- ■il in the Colle.ge. This year has been in a sense a landmark in aims and policies. Besides trying to raise the standard of reporting and style, an entirely new approach has been initiated. Campus Comments ' critical policy has attempted to evaluate events, such as plays and music programs, critically but constructively. The traditional April Fool ' s issue was discon- tinued this year as it was felt to have lost its significance. There was an issue in the spring catering to the paper ' s advertisers with articles on the merchandise in the Staunton stores. Other new columns have been on new books in the library and interviews with pianists, dancers, and ' iher artists giving programs at the College.

While the award recognizes accomplishment, unselfish service is the fundamental principle, as this was the keynote of the life of Algernon Sydney Sullivan, whose naniL- the award bears. Usually one medallion is presented to a member of the graduating class and one to some other person who has interest in and association with the College. At the 1952 Commencement Exercises the Algernon Syclne}- Sullivan awards were presented to ; Miss Mary E. Lakenan, professor of Biblica ture, who retired after twenty-seven years faculty. The award was made In recognition (jf hei influence exerted for good upon the character of this college and of these students, in recognitioij of her life and work shaped by commitment to a Christian ideal with its tenents and precepts, and in recognition of her unselfish and unfailing devotion to the service of her convictions.

Every student at Mary Baldwin is automatically a member of the Athletic Association. It is the purpose of this association to promote the high aims of sportsmanship, to encourage leadership and participation in a variety of sports, and lo provide enjoyable use of leisure time for every student. The Association provides an opportunity for the student to take part in practically every individual and group sport popular among women today. Hockey, swimming, basketball, volleyball, tennis, and archery are our major sports, and Honorary Varsities are selected from the participants of each. The recreational sports, table tennis, badminton, bowling, and golf, are more infor- and to provide enjoyable use of leisure time for every student. The officers and sports managers compose the governing council of the . thletic Association. The activity program is based on intramural competition, which provides an opportunity for all girls to participate in each sport. There is an opportunity for participation with other colleges in sports and play days sponsored by the Mrginia Athletic Federation of College Women of which the Mar i ' .aldw ' in . thletic Assdciation is a member.

New members are approved by active members, who rate them on their performance of basic swimming strokes and stunts. The program of the club during the year consists of two tryouts for new members, a S[)lash Party for freshmen in the fall, a swimming pageant or demon- stration, and helping with the swimming meet between the classes. Regular meetings are held by the club each month with Miss Mildred Droste acting as faculty advisor and sponsor. At tliese meetings members practice the official stunts used in syn- chronized swimming programs. 99 Hockc}- This is the most popular fall sport at Mary Baldwin. Hockey is participated in enthusiastically by the class teams. A round robin class tourna- ment is held each year. Because the juniors were victorious in their three games, they won the hockey championship for the season. Class captains elected by each team for the year 1952- ' 33 are: freshmen Patt - Parke; sophomores, Barbara Howard; juniors. Daphne Brown and Ono Lescure ; seniors. Kitty Garrott. Mary Baldwin sent a selected team to the annual Allied A West Tournament. At this tournament each college team played two games. Mary Baldwin played Bridgewater College and Lynchburg College. After all the games had been played the selection committee chose two teams. Barbara Howard was selected for the All-Star First Team. Joanne Crouch, Ono Lescure, and Page Smith were selected for the Reserve Team. The season ended with a cook-out at the hockev field. LEADER ; Cherie Parrish 100 Swimming One of tile irajor non-srasonal atlilrlic activities at Mary Baldwin is swiiniiii ng. A swiminiiig meet between the different classes is held every year and class captains are elected yearly. The class captains for the Near of 1932- ' 33 are as follows: freshmen, Ellen Gibson; sophomores, IClanne Law; juniors, Wini Roggs; seniors, Ik-tty Lou Gaulding. The meet consists of swimming for speed, relay races, swimming for form, and diving Points won by the classes at the meet add toward their number fni- the cup. Last year the juniors were victorious and won the cup. The pool is open to students all year. LEADER Barbara Howard 101 Baskftball At Mary Baldwin baskctliall liighlights the winter athletic program. Dormitory spirit is at its highest pitch as dorm teams compete for the coveted plaque. This year the teams were divided into Leagues A and B, the winners of each league battling in the finals. The three large dormitories on campus, Memorial, Hill Top, and McClung assembled two teams, one from the upper and one from the lower floors. Sky High, Chapel combined with Little House, Riddle, and the Day Students produced the other four teams making ten teams in all. Heading the teams are the following captains : Upper McClung, Ellen Gibson ; Lower McClung, Sue Dozier ; Tapper Memorial, Elanne Law; Lower Memorial, Nancy Rawles; Upper Hill Top, Jessie Carr; Lower Hill Top, Helen Hatch ; Chapel, Jean Fear : Riddle, Alice James ; Sky High. Betty Gray and the Day Students, Cherie Parrish. LEADER Liz DeLoach 102 X ' oUeyball Oiif of Ihc most popular of llu- major sports for class com- petition is volleyball. The beginning of the season is heralded with a sudden burst of fighting class spirit. Class captains conduct practices before the tourna- ment games begin. A round-ro bin tournament is held. The captains for the year 1952- ' 53 are: freshmen, Dolly Adair; sophomores, Page Smith; juniors, Nancy Rawles ; seniors, Jane Tucker. The season is closed by the senior-faculty game. A cup is awarded to the victorious class at the annual Athletic As- sociation banquet. Outstanding players are chosen from the class teams to compose an honorary varsity team. LEADER Joaiuie Crouch 103 Archery In April the interest of the archers is directed toward the Inter- Cnllejiiate Telegraphic Archery Tournament consisting of a Columbia Round. The three highest scorers from each class compose the class archery team. At the Athletic Association banquet, the tournament winner is awarded an archery cup. Novelty shoots are held in archeiy to add variety and increase interest. In the William Tell Shoot, an apple is shot from the top of the head of a compo- sition boy. Balloon Shoots consist of shooting at balloons tied on the face of the target. In addition to these, clout and field archery are taught. Tennis The singles tennis tournament is played in the fall and doubles in the spring. Cups are presented to the winners at the A. A. bancjuet in the spring. Winning either tournament for three successive years entitles the winner to permanent possession of the cup. Jane Zimmer, freshman, defeated Alargaret Sykes, sophomore, in the finals this year. LEADERS Sue Stanley, Helen Hatch 104 Recreational Sports These sports, l)adminton, table tennis, golf and bowling, fill many hours with enjoyment. The fall and winter seasons are filled with badminton singles and doubles, and the bowling tournament. This year for the first time a plaque is being awarded to the dorm which wins the bowling tournament. Memorial will receive that plac|ue for the year 1952- ' 53 at the annual Athletic Association lianquet in the spring. Golf is emphasized in the spring tournament, and quite often Ingleside Golf Course is filled with Marv Baldwin girls in both spring and fall. Also in the spring is the table tennis tournament. Pool and skating are the non-seasonal activities.

There is a close- ness that developes between girls living to- gether in small groups as we do. In this living together we learn to observe rules, for we live under the Honor System, and we learn the importance of our own coop- eration and participation in the dorm. We enter into parties and pranks together and share the fun that accompanies them. Much of the competition on campus is be- tween dorms — the freshmen skit contest, the Christmas Carol contest, the basketball tournament, and the neat room contest. Striving for first place, or even a good showing, keeps spirit high and this spirit in turn brings us closer together. Because of this importance a special section on dormitory life has been introduced in the 1953 yearbook. 117 RIDDLE If you ever followed the little black dog, Satan, into Kiddle dormitory you must have met with some excitement. Perhaps it was one of B. C. ' s parties — that Christmas one was typical with the wonderful food and fun, and of course Lilly who thought the whole dorm was wearing heels and hose (thanks to Mary) and got so dressed up only to find the others in pajamas and jeans ! Speaking of Christmas, Riddle won the table decorations contest and also tied for first place in the carol contest singing The First Noel . The Kiddle girls will never forget the week-end that roommates Jenny and Alice got their rings, nor the night that Tuck ' s bed fell down, and putting on the party in the club during exams. Favorite with ever one is the Riddle smoker with the pink piano, Mr. Rowe coming to devt)tions every W ' ednesday night, those games of Russian Bank, guessing who will next get engaged, and listening to the latest news from Elma. 118 HILL TOP Hill Top cannot bt- calk-d Xil-top this year for tln-re is nt-ver a clull minute. A scavenger hunt was an early event in the year with the winning team find- ing the previous week ' s funnies, a Roosevelt dime, and Miss Parker ' s autograph. Helen and Eleanor tried to convert the dorm into a menagerie — Eleanor captured a mouse which lived a short life in a box in her room, and upon its death Helen lassoed an opossum with Ann Danziger ' s pajama belt and kept it in the trash can overnight. Ann Dixon and Nan Kaneer attracted notice by winning a prize in the cute room contest. Jessie provided fun with those big boxes of home-cooked food stiaight from the country. As an annual project Lee and Marian entertained with ceremonies and the tearing of the tissue . Hill To]) really had the Christmas spirit — the snowman on the porch and the Santa Claus inside proved it. 119 McCLUNG Betty Lou and Bobsie somehow survived the year although they were surrounded by forty five freshmen most of whom seemed to have plenty of energy. This boisterous spirit was first apparent in September when the V. M. I. boys serenaded them from New Street — even Henni rushed to the window to listen that time. Jane Zimmer added pep and importance to the dorm for not everyone has the privilege of living with the college tennis champion and a Texan at that. Also living in McClung were four students from foreign countries: Dennie, Chi Chi, Grace, and Lois will long be remembered for the fun they added to the dorm life. I- ' inally, after most every freshman had changed and rechanged roommates and peace was beginning to reign a loud scream at 1 :30 a. m. caused com- motion once again ; but with the calm reassurance of Margaret Neil and Betsy all returned to bed a little less frightened. Those upstairs will remember having Mrs. Sumner as a visitor who shared in the Christ- mas excitement while Ida was in the hospital. And the whole domi can be very proud of winning first place in the carol contest singing God Rest Ye ] Ierr ' Cientlemen. 120 MEMORIAL Although Memorial has had iKi stt-p-off this year, that dorm has had plenty of excitement. Halloween spirit led to the complete disarrangement of Mary Garrison ' s and Mary D ' s room, a surprise which those two girls discovered upon returning late that night ; also, most every one missed shoes which had been made into a line from one end of the dorm to the other. f arbara Howard and Page won a prize f(ir their room (on being the cutest, not the neatest) th;- only room in school papered in gay hunting scenes. Patty Perlitz almost drowned everyone by forgetting to turn off the tub spigot one night, an episode not soon forgotten. Memorial girls will also remember Betty Boyer ' s Hi ya , the excitement over Weber ' s ring, the return of Marcia, each new fancy of Gail, those wrestling matches between Nancy Rawles and Liz and the parties at which Dolly Adair, Ann Dick. and Sally Lou Smith ga e floor shows. 121 3t SKY HIGH Sky High started off the year hv winning the freshmen skit contest for their hilarious version of Little Nell . Soon after Sue and Pattv Parke won a prize for their room in the cute room contest. It seems that something funnv is al- ways happening in Sky High, such as Shelby giving a partv— those in Sky High will never forget Shelby ' s birthday party with the dogs, the crazy gifts, and the food from cake to cereal. Then there was the Come as you are party to which Ricki came in a towel. Lib in a newspaper, and Betty Gray in a blanket. At Halloween the friendly ghost visited the dorm leaving ' a greeting on each door— and the witches of Sky High, Ann L. and Jan, flew about on Minnie ' s brooms. Tippie and June will never forget the skunks who live under their window, and no one will forget Pat Cook as Santa Claus, Martha to whom most of the rumpus in Sky High is due, and Jeanette who wrote the dorm song. W e ' re the girls of .Sky High dorm you ' ll all agree, We ' re the girls with pep and personality. Oh, oh, you must realize W ' e are great despite our size! When you see us coming you can just gi e in, ' Cause you know we ' re the girls who ' ll always win. Oh, oh, shout out your crv for old Sky High ! 122 CHAPEL Chapel was strictly a junior dorm this year and what fun those ten juniors did have ! Judy and Wini, two newcomers, fit right in and spurred on by Wini Chapel won the dorm plaque the first week of competition, in spite of the nature collections found up and down the hall. One provided entertain- ment along musical lines with her version of Stout Hearted Men , while Miss Virtue danced the Hula and Miss Hirst tried in vain to get her beauty sleep; Ann Morgan woke Ann Shaw in the middle of the night by walking in her sleep, Fish worked diligently on editorials. Gig was constantly trying new hair-dos and exercises, and Joan slung paint in true artistic spirit. Sounds like fun — it was ! LITTLE HOUSE The little brick house where Jean, Daphne, and Alma reside is a favorite stopping off place, especially for the other juniors. Everyone loves the attractive and cozy inside, and the cookies that always seem to be on hand. We hear that Alma almost set fire to Little House one night, but luckily Jean and Daphne came to the rescue. 123 SOME OF OUR FAVORITE PEOPLE 124 Faculty and Staff Directory Miss Mary Caperton Armistcad Sherwood Lane, Staunton, Va.

Orie 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 whifif 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 invisir)le 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.
