' HOMAS HANCOCK GRAFTOX. Ph.D. Professor of Sociology 12 f t • He is known for his quick wit and appropriate epigrams on every occasion. Behind the laugh there is a solemn wisdom and an agile mind : behind the analytic disposit ion there is a deep sympathy and concern for others. He challenges others, directly and indirectly, to use their minds more fully. He leads us to an emotional and intellectual understand- ing of God. We are proud of him as teacher, friend and minister, and we wisli to indicate this pride by dedicating the 1955 edition of the BLUE- STOCKING to Dr. Thomas H. Grafton.

At the beginning of this year the Junior class sponsored an informal dance for their sister class, the Freshmen. Later in the year, class rings were ordered and received following the Christmas holidays. Little House , the residence of the Junior class president, was the scene of a small party given for the benefit of the entire Junior class. As usual, this year the class produced the Bluestocking, and also presented the Junior-Senior banquet. To its achievements the class of 1956 added another project: They repeated the lane Dieckmann Polio Fund Drive, which was begun in 1954. 55 Hill Top group at Cabin. . . .Happy Birthday!. . . .Jam Session in the Club.

The privilege and responsibility of self-government is re-grant- ed each year to the Student Government Association and, in the signing of the pledge, to the individual student, on Charter Night, early in the session. By this act of pledging herself, the student becomes a part of a society of self- discipline that encompasses every phase of her life at Mary Baldwin. The Student Council, the overall co-ordinating body for such a society, has repre- sentatives drawn from each class and the day students, presidents of the two largest campus organizations: the YWCA and the Recreation Association. Com- mittees under its jurisdiction include Big Sisters, Cabin. Club, Xook, Social committees, and the Hoard of Review. The most recent committee affiliated with the Council is of broader scope than our domestic government itself. This committee was established to utilize the membership which our government holds in the United States National Student Association. Through the proper channeling of material afforded by this organization for many clubs and campus groups, participation in various conferences from which pertinent information can be absorbed, and initiation of programs by foreign students, the student horizon has been broadened and interest awakened concerning the student world as a whole. Each new generation of students at Mary Baldwin receives a heritage of a co-operative community based on those ideals which furnish life with meaning. Each generation in the process of squaring personal ideas with the traditional standards of the college society, modifies and gives personality to abstract prin- ciples. In this way, our society is not a static one. but an organic way of life. Ilie unique interpretation by each student generation produces a warmly human community of interacting individuals. It is this which causes all thinking stu- dents, involved in problems of current interest, to look beyond to the continued discovery of the many values inherent in the ideals, the form of government at l.n Baldwin. 74 The Student Council OFFICERS GWEN COOPER ' ice-President FRANCES W OD Secretary AN N KENNEDY Treasurer HOUSE PRESIDENTS GWEN COOPER Met lung NANCY BUSTON Memorial ELEANOR HARWELL Hill To TEANETTE FISHER Sky High GALE CREWS Riddle PAT BOWIE Chapel MARGARET NEEL QUERY President Y.

The Board of Review is a Student Government Organization composed of four student members appointed by the Student Council and three faculty mem- bers; the Sophomore Representative on the Student Council, who acts as Sec- retary of the Hoard, and the I lean of Students are members ex. officio. The duties of this Board are: to check on the proper functioning of clubs, to approve new organizations, to approve money-making projects of campus organizations, and to schedule Friday assembly programs. BIG SISTERS Left to Right: Jeanette Fisher, Chairman, Judy Deener, Minifred Boyles. The upperclassmen who served as the Big Sisters to the one hundred and fifty freshmen took part in one of the most important jobs on campus — helping the freshmen orient themselves to campus life. The duty of the Big Sisters is to help the freshmen adjust themselves to the life of the college community, and to lie a friend and confidant. 76 committees SOCIAL COMMITTEE Left to Right: Betty Ballantine, Marjorie Mowl, F.llen Stickcll, Patricia Ruther- ford, Katherine Showalter, Joan Nanniga, Nancy Hays, Joanne Crouch, Sue Boss, Nancy Leeper, Martha Richardso n, Chairman, Patty Parke, Eulalie Bartlett. The Social Committee is responsible for a large portion of the social calen- dar at Mary Baldwin. All classes are represented on this committee whose chairman is elected by the student body. Their first responsibility is usually off campus — that of introducing our freshmen at rush parties at the neighboring men ' s colleges. During the year, informal parties, receptions, and coffees are planned for plays and concerts. For many of us, these are bright spots in a busy week. Formal dances — the Winter and Spring dances — are always re- membered with enjoyment by the students as highlights among the social activities. EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE Scaled Left to Right: I. wen Cooper, Betsy Robinson. Standing Left to Right: Nancy Buston, Ann Kennedy. The Executive Committee is a Student Government Organization composed of the six members of the Advisory Board and four student members. The students are the President of the Student Council and other Council members appointed by her. The duties of this group are: to consider and decide all mat- ters referred to it by the Student Council, to study all matters relating to the constitution, by-laws, and regulations of the Student Government Association, to make suggestions for changes in the regulations to the Student Council, and to prepare and assist in editing the Handbook before the school year ends. 77 Student Government NOOK COMMITTEE Left to Right: Perry Wornom, Merkie Henderson, Julie Kami, Agnes Lary, (aniline Pierce, Corrinne Currie, Chairman. The Nook, in the King Building, is our campus kitchen . The students use it to test their talent for cooking. The Committee i responsible for seeing that it is clean and that the necessary kitchenware is on hand. This year, with the donations collected at the beginning of the year, the Nook has been better equipped. CABIN COMMITTEE Left to Rii ht: Alice Tones, Chairman, Nan Candler, Bryant Pope, Barbara Bullock, Ann Kennedy, Nancj Hayes, Page Lee, Shannon Greene, Barbie Ott, Mikie Kline, Ann Kasmussen. The Cabin Committee this year was necessarily very large: Chip Inn was in need of numerous repairs. A new roof, water and plumbing systems made the cabin usable again. Numerous groups enjoyed it late in the year. The Sopho- more Class assumed the chief responsibility for financing repairs. 78 Committees CLUB COMMITTEE Left to Right: Cecily Schwartz, Ann Jurecka, Diane Alexis, Barbara Bell, Patty Parke, Chairman, Page Lee, Cameron Samuels, Eleanor Reynolds, Betty Ballantine. The Club is a favorite meeting place for students as well as facult y. The ten minute breaks between classes and mail calls are exceptionally popular times there. Not only is the club a place to get away from it all , but it also provides a nice setting fur teas anil receptions. The TV and Juke P ox furnish good entertainment tor dates, too. The friendly smiles of Maud and Margaret can- not help hut to brighten a daw NATIONAL STUDENT ASSOCIATION Left to Right Thompson, Sue Bo; Charlotte Walker, In order to implement our membership in USNSA, a committee was es tablished this year for the purpose of interpreting the NSA aims and the practical distribution of pertinent material. The USNSA, whose program is three-fold, is an organization of college student bodies, represented through their student governments, as a voice on non-partisan political matters pertinent to students, and also as a national voice for American students abroad, helping to create a better international student understanding and telling the story of the United States to offset Communist propaganda. On campus, this committee has narrowed these general aims to campus level activities which have led us to understand more fully what NSA really is and does. 79 The Young Women ' s Christian Association MARGARET NEEL QUERY President The V. W. C. A. derives its uniqueness as a campus organization from the composition of its membership. The student Christian association, which on our campus is affiliated with the National Student Y. W. C. A., includes those people who belong to the student world and are a part of that group which en- deavors, at least in some small measure, to search for the truth in their times and to gain from their discovery a clearer concept of the purpose and meaning of life and of their own lives in the total scheme of life. But this is not all. The Y member also participates in another world, the Christian world, and feels herself a part of its past tradition and its present situation, as well as a responsible party in its future continuance and strength. Persons who belong to both of these worlds and who are seeking to inte- grate them in their own lives — to realize their scholarship as a true Christian vocation, to place the objective and factual knowledge of sociology and history and biology into a framework of thought that finds its roots in the fundamental truths of Christianity — are the persons for whom membership in the student Christian association ' is intended and for such people as these it is meaningful. Recause we, who are members of the Y , feel that Christian students have a need in their lives for worship, f or study from the Christian perspective, and for action which is motivated by their concern for their fellows, the ' A at- tempts to serve as a channel for this three-fold program of worship, study, and action. It endeavors to offer to those girls who want it an opportunity to exer- cise their Christian privileges and responsibilities in a group of like-minded people. And by doing this, to create a community of people who find the mean ing of Christian fellowship in their association with others who have united In the desire to realize full and creative life through a growing knowledge of God. to have a part in making this life possible for all people, and to understand Jesus and to follow Him. 80 The Cabinet TOMLIN HORNBARGER Vice-President, Chairman of the Publicity Committee LAURA CLAUSEN Secretary, Chairman of the Vespers Committee ELLEN GIBSON Treasurer, Chairman of the Finance Committee BETSY ROBINSON Ex-officio BLANCHE GAM BRILL Chairman of the World Relatedness Committee MABEL DUTTON Chairman of the Community Service HELEN THOMPSON Chairman of Campus and Personal Affairs DONNA LOU ANDERSON Chairman of Faith and Heritage ELIZABETH ANN WITHROW Freshman Representative ADVISORS MISS MARY E.

At the 1954 Commencement Exercises the awards were presented to: DR. F. L. BROWN University of Virginia He has ever been alert to the material needs of Mary Baldwin, and willing to give time and go to endless trouble to make our campus a place where we would delight tu live and work.

This lias been made possible largel) through the National Student Association and a large exchange program. We have tried to raise the journalistic level of the newspaper, but foremost we have aimed at publishing a new spaper of vital interest to the student body. We have tried to create, interpret, reflect, and guide student interest and views. We feel that this is the important side of journalism fur a weekly newspaper. As a source of news alone for a school of this size, a weekly newspaper is ol little use. We gratefully acknowledge the aid rendered us by Mr. Richard I ' .

If a girl makes use of the diversified athletic program offered, she will find this purpose to be fulfilled for her. Almost all major and minor sports are of- fered and those who have never played are taught in order that they may im- prove the calibre of their playing and that they may also find enjoyment in sports. Sportsmanship seems to be synonymous with athletics. Co-operation and consideration for others are essential in both team and individual sports and nothing is more frowned upon in games than an exhibition of poor sportsman- ship, a poor loser or winner or an unnecessaril) rough player. In order that the Recreation Association may be comprised only of active or interested members, it is required that each girl participate in ten hours each semester of athletic activity and uphold the purpose of the Association at all times. 102 R.

The three main traits necessary in an usher or marshal are poise, courtesy, an 1 attractiveness. Holding a position such as this is an honor, but also hard work. At many important events, such as the King Scries, school plays, serious programs of campus organizations, and commencement week-end, these girls always do their besl to please the students and guests of the college by seating them aid aiding in main other small ways to see that the function runs smoothly. The Chief Marshal is elected by the student body from the rising junior or senior class. The other marshals are chosen by their respective classes and they, in turn, choose the ushers from the other clashes. 117 The Bluestocking presents PAIGE SMITH 118 those girls chosen by MIN1FRED BOYLES KATHERINE SHOWALTI 119 the Student Body to be KATRTNA THORNINGTON MARY LANE featured in the Beauty Section LIVIA WHITEHEAD SHANNON GREENE Many Campus Activities Throughout the Year Are Sponsored By the Student Government Association. 3m National Student Association Committee sp msors starting point for racial integration discussion. .. .Campus Christmas trei everybody ' s project Stringing Christmas cranber- i ii - and rum.

The opening of the new dormitory will be an important step in the growth of Mary Baldwin, and will be ready for occupancy by the first of August, 1955. The dormitory will be equipped with lounges, kitchen facilities, laundry facili- ties, a suite of rooms for guests, and a suite for a housemother. A few of the rooms will have built-in furniture. Probably the members of the class of 1955 visiting on the campus next year will be the first guests in the dormitory. 127 Faculty and Staff Directory Miss Sarah Frances Baylor 602 Alleghany Ave., Staunton, Va.

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 Yon!
