I il COPYRIGHT Josephine E.

In it are recorded the important events asthe hove token place, and the man Just as important happenings which might occur to any of us any day. For this reason the book is divided into three parts-, the first part tells of the happenings during the FALL QUARTER,the second all that occurred during the WINTER QUARTER and In the third, ore recorded all the events of the SPRING TERM sianaii The outsiand i nq eventswnich we re- member as occurring ata particular time are recorded under that date in our jour- nal. Our everyday experiences have been placed under any of the days of the week just as they might occur You wil I find that Monday in each division is treat- ed as all the Mondays of that period Tuesday as all the Tuesdciys.and so on through the week.Ea We hope that this journal, both now, and in th e years to come will enable ou to relive pleasantly the 3 ears spent on the Dr. Michael Louis Altstetter In this year of Our Lord one thousand nine hundred and th ' ittyliur dothe sludenfe of ihb colleqe dedicate The Battlefield to Michael Louis Mistier whose scliolarly attainment andobli qouncyienQel whose fineness cf character enridies the life those who m m whose sense of humor oloddensthe day whose understanding heart ives service without «llint and whose friendship declares itself in an inteie in youth which knows not howtofoil them F a .y Here we begin our school year ' s work with energy and enthusiasm. It ' s pleas- ant to he back on the hill, to welcome and be welcomed by old friends, to greet the freshmen and to make splen- did plans for hard work and fun in the coming months. The grove is lovely with brilliant leaves and the air soon becomes chilly. Fall is here. 1 OUR ARRIVAL The last few miles seemed impossibly slow in passing, but of course they couldn ' t last forever and we finally came in view of our campus. How thrilling it all was to us who knew where each walk led, the familiar aspect of the nooks and corners in each building, and saw again the friendly smiles of the passing girls. We trudged in with our bags and boxes and went up the stairs to find our rooms. How bare they looked! But it would take our minds from longing thoughts of home to get to work, unpack, and rearrange everything to our liking. What running of feet and shouting of greetings went on in the hall. How pleasant to hear a familiar voice and to rush from the room to delightedly welcome a friend. What joy to lounge on some- one ' s else bed in someone ' s else room and become acquainted with attractive new arrivals, to watch someone ' s else unpacking while keeping up a running conversation of summer experiences, to inquire about friends, and to recall happy times of the year before. It ' s fun, in a way, to moan together over prospects of unmanageable Training School children and the long vista of rising on winter mornings at the sound of that clanging bell. Then we gather ourselves together, ready to struggle over the selection of classes and for the making out of an innumerable amount of class tickets and program cards. And then we com- plain and hear complaining everywhere. I have a first hour class every morning of the week. Well, I have four Saturday classes. Everybody ' s schedule seems perfect, but what an awful one we have. We throng to the dining room and there are more familiar faces to welcome and new friends to greet. Conversation doesn ' t lag. The remembered busy hum rises from the tables. And then back to the room. It really ought to be put in order. Tomorrow we begin classes. It won ' t be long before this will seem far away in the past and we will feel that the present of classes, studying, and meetings is all we ever knew. — ELEVEN — We See the Campus A gesture of quiet dignity from colonial porch to colonial entrance! The gleam of white pillars of appealing interest when sunlight makes shadows round about or moonlight comes with haunting beauty. Where the passing pageant of girls go by. Promenade of stately pillars graced a-top with the architectural beauty of by-gone days! ' Vine and shrub and stately tree bid friendly entrance.

MONDAY STUDENT GOVERNMENT Monday night and Student Council is in session. We saw them file into the Council room at seven o ' clock, and soon we heard the murmur of voices through the lighted transom as we passed on the way to the library. It must be very important business. They have been in there two hours. It is a great responsibility to have the welfare of the college on one ' s shoulders.

Don ' t we have an excellent orchestra as well as Glee and Chorus clubs? The or- chestra appears at various occasions, particularly at the benefits, and then our ears are gladdened by its sweet strains. Well, really it is good, even if this does sound kind of poetical. • ■ THIRTY ••• MONDAY THE FRESHMAN COMMISSION The Freshman Commission has not taken long to make itself known. With Marion Ells at their head they soon organized and before we knew it were issuing a weekly news bulletin concerning Y. W. activities and events. They elected Louise Collier as their president and got to work at the Doll Show. It was a great success. We saw it this afternoon. And think how happy some little girls shall be with the Christmas dolls the Freshman Commission has given them. THIRTY-ONE ... MONDAY ENGLISH CLUB Tuesday night and English Club are ahnost synony- mous, at least two nights a month they actually are. On these nights the Modern Portia ' s gather to discuss clas- sical writings and listen to talks on literature. Ever so often we hear of more exciting occasions, too, when the club meets to attend a formal banquet. But, we our- selves have had some share in the activities of the Modern Portias, for we attended and greatly enjoyed the dance given by them for the student body. •► THIRTY-TWO — TUESDAY GLEE CLUB As we passed through the darkening halls of Monroe during the last hour before dinner we heard the soft strains of an English madrigal. It was the Glee Club practicing under the direction of Miss Eppes. The Glee Club is an organization of forty girls. Isabelle Walker is their presi- deent, Edwina Heeley the vice-president and Helen Shurtleff the secretary. Their contribution of songs is enjoyed and appreciated throughout the campus. ■ ■ THIRTY-THREE — TUESDAY CONVOCATION Wednesday night and Convocation as usual. The Seniors looked most impressive in their caps and go vns. There are so many girls in that class whom ve like and respect, that standing when they come in seems the natural thing to do. And no matter ho v many convocations or other occasions we have for singing our Alma Mater the meaning of each word always comes straight from our hearts. ••• THIRTY-FOUR WEDNESDAY l- i INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS CLUB The serious looking group we saw meeting tonight is the International Relations Club. They hold earnest discussions regarding world problems and have through their Armistice Day program and bringing of well-known speakers to the campus aroused the interest of the student body in these important questions. .► THIRTY-FIVE — WEDNESDAY Nellie Mae Stewart Y. W. C. A. President THIRTY-SIX •«• WEDNESDAY Y. W. C. A. We have seen the activities of the Young Women ' s Christian Asso- ciation from the start. They were on hand when we first arrived and helped with our getting settled. They gave the Freshman Kid party. They presented each upper classman with a little sister, they conducted some of the Freshman training classes and they organized the Freshman Commission. Ever since we have seen them much in evidence through their vesper programs every night after dinner and their devotional services on Sunday evenings. Nellie Mae Stewart is their president, Lula Lee Llewellyn their vice-president, Marion Ells leads the Freshman Commission, Isabelle Walker is the treasurer, and Helen Shurtleff the secretary. Miss Alice Wakefield, Miss Kate Trent, and Miss Barry serve as advisers from the faculty. — THIRTY-SEVEN ... WEDNESDAY Dorothy Johnsox Dr. M. L. Altstetter ALPHA PHI SIGMA We all know what the gathering of a large number of girls ill Monroe Hall on a certain Thursday night during the month means. It is the convening of Alpha Phi Sigma. This organization is among the most worthwhile of those on the campus from the standpoint of the activities it carries on and the ideals it upholds. We consider it an honor to belong. THIRTY-EIGHT - THURSDAY Dorothy Dail Alpha Phi Sigma President — THIRTY-NINE — THURSDAY THE TRAINING SCHOOL After two years of fearing the very worst and hoping for a little of the best, we find ourselves in the Training School. That first day! Can it ever be forgotten ! With what trembling of knees and quavering of voices we faced our first classes. We had no delusions.. We knew positively that no teacher ever had as many difficulties to overcome as those confronting us. And no teacher ever made a more dismal failure in couping with them. But what is this? The first reports are out. We do have some good points after all. There isn ' t anything so very wrong with teaching. It ' s really right much fun. ••• FORTY • THURSDAY ' : 4il ■ ■F -l: — -a ( l ' iiiP ' i i .f; ;■ - .,r ■ -- . wE m a H ■ ! ni v 1 ■fl THE MATTHEW FONTAINE MAURY SCIENCE CLUB The Matthew Fontaine Maury Science Club has just been organized this year, but each meeting night we see a large group of girls mounting the steps and entering the science lecture room. This club is serving to stimulate interest in current discoveries throughout the scientific world, and to aid in giving information on these subjects. The members seem to enjoy their discussions and find the time spent in these meetings a valuable supplement to their scientific studies. We are glad they are allowing outsiders to meet with them, and hear some of the discussions and the well-delivered speeches. ••• FORTY-ONE •«.

FORTY-SIX ••• FRIDAY GRACE K. TANNER CLUB The Home Economics girls, who belong to the Grace K. Tanner Home Economics Club, were quite excited today. Their pins have arrived. These pins are those of the National Collegiate Home Economics Association, with which the club is affiliated. We think it would be nice to belong to this group, not only because they have good-looking pins, but because they are serving the ideals of the many fields in this expanding profession. ■- FORTY-SEVEN ••• FRIDAY SENIOR BENEFIT The Last Round-up. AVhat a mixture of feelings that title brings us. We think of the pleasure we felt in watching the performance. How funny some of our dignified Seniors looked attired in misfit dresses and comical hats, and didn ' t we enjoy the jokes of the actors and the music of the band. ;But the words bring other thoughts. We hate to think of this as the last year with these girls. We are glad we shall have them until June, anyway. — FORTY-EIGHV •.• FRIDAY JUNIOR BENEFIT Crazy to Reduce. Yes, it certainly was crazy, all right. We laughed all the way through. It was not so much what those Juniors said as the way they said it, and the costumes in which they appeared. Shall we ever forget the choir practice, Mrs. Hummingbird, or Dr. Liveforever? The Juniors put this over in good style. They are an energetic bunch and get a lot done. We expect to hear more from them before the year is over. FORTY-NINE ..■ FRIDAY STUDENT COUNCIL RECEPTION Everyone appeared in evening dress tonight and we all tripped over to Seacobeclc to pass down the line at the Student Council Reception. It was a gay occasion. Each girl looked lovely, the music was good, and air pervaded with the feeling of a happy time. Such a social event is welcomed and looked forward to by the entire college. All the affairs sponsored by the Student Council, the informal party at the beginning of the j ' ear, and the picnic given for new council at the end of the year, in addition to the reception tonight, are great successes. SATURDAY RIDING CLUB What is the meaning of the creaking of doors and a clatter of boots in the hall at six o ' clock on Sunday morning? That ' s easy, the Riding Club is depart- ing for its weekly breakfast ride. The only thing most of us envy is the taste of those sausages and eggs, for we certainly don ' t think much of such a waste of staying-in-bed time. But the Riding Club members seem quite satisfied to make this sacrifice for the sake of an early canter and a sizzling breakfast out in the open. They are diligently promoting good horsemanship by means of their Saturday afternoon riding tests and are doing much to create more interest on the campus in horseback riding. We think it is a very worthy activity and an excellent organization. MaLLORY Hufty Prrsident Polly Daniel Secretary Miss Watsox S onsor f FIFTY-ONE SATURDAY m.A GERMAN CLUB One of our biggest week-end events is the German Club dance. It has been discussed and planned, and dance cards made out for it, so far in advance that it does not seem possible the day has actually come. The whole campus assumes a festive air and the dark suits of the large number of arriving j ' cung men give it an vinusual appearance. The dance itself is a great success. It always has been. And we are sure it always will be, so long as there are girls on the hill. — FIFTY-TWO SATURDAY WEENIE ROAST Of course it is fun to go away when the week- ends come, but we miss some very good times on the hill when we don ' t remain over Saturday and Sun- day. Tonight we went on a weenie roast out at the cabin . It was dark early and somewhat chilly, but that made the fire seem all the warmer and the more cheery. We talked and joked and sang, not to mention the amount of eating we accomplished, and then it was fun to gather up left-overs for room- mates, to put out the fire and to sing our way home. We want to go again soon. •♦• FIFTY-THREE ■ ■ SATURDAY CHRISTMAS DINNER Tonight we have our Christmas Dinner. It could not be any more looked forward to than if it were the family gathering at home. Indeed, it is a sort of huge family gathering. As the girls, dressed in bright-colored evening wear, move into the dining rooms, and take their usual places at the tables, a feeling of kindliness and sisterhood seems to tie the group together. Hearts are full with thoughts of home, but this occasion with its carol singing and merry sounds of laughter brings, in addition, a realization of how much this campus, these activities, and this group of girls mean to us. ••• FIFTY- FOUR ••• SATURDAY CHRISTMAS SPIRIT The Christmas spirit is everywhere on the campus and a feeling of excitement almost stifles us. We need all our powers of concentration for exams and term papers, but our thoughts can ' t possibly keep from turn- ing to that glorious day of going home. How can we subdue our mounting anticipations to the level required for psychology or sociology, typing or French? How long we stare at that blank page headed Lesson Plan, with our minds a hundred miles away! But this part which we experience on the hill is an important part of the Christmas season. We share the holiday spirit with the friendly group here and then go home to share it with others. FIFTY-FIVE - SATURDAY SUNDAY SCHOOL Just as regularly as Sunday morning arrives we fall in line with the pro- cession headed for spending an hour or two in Sunday School and church. We enjoy the opportunity of meeting the people of the town in this way, of hearing the different ministers, and, it must be confessed, of getting into all our best clothes and walking demurely down the aisle. Some of us carry on the oc- cupation begun at home, that of teaching in the Sunday School. It is lots of fun to be with the tiny kids. It is nice to know we have friends among th?m. This contact of Sunday School and church in Fredericksburg forms a memory we shall long carry with us. ■► FIFTY-SIX •«. SUNDAY — FIFTY-SEVEN ■ SUNDAY Winter . Coming back to school has its points, but — nothing erer seemed so hard as tearing holiday good times behind. Fortunately it ' s different now that we ' re back and routine is welcome. We ' re in the very midst of everything. There ' s much to keep us busy. Winter is here. 0?i M4£ FIFTY-NINE — Rainy Day Another rainy day! Do you have any vague recol- lections of seeing the sun a long time ago? Seems to us we have heard of it, but forget what it looks like. The only consolation is that we can get a lot of work done because there is nothing else we can do. We can ' t understand how some people can paddle down town in the downpour. We much prefer staying here and gazing dreamily through the misted window, or visiting down the hall. MONDAY Play Day Something new, but we all enjoyed it. Every kind of sport was represented as the old majors showed the freshman majors what the physical education department and the sport side of college really is. There was archery, tennis, hockey, rid- ing, and baseball. The horses were especially noticeable. Everyone who did not know what was going on that day rushed to see what the trample of many hooves on the drive meant. We hope this Play Day becomes an annual event.

On certain nights when we see girls hurrying to the big gym, we know the Dance Club is meeting. But we know more than that about them. They first showed us their work in their unusual Christmas program, The Juggler of Notre Dame. We learned that, in.spired by their sponsor, Miss Wiesner, they have themselves created all their dances as interpretations of the music, in the manner of the modern dance. We discovered more about them at their con- vocation program and from reports of the Symposium they attended in Wash- ington. We feel that this club, in its unusual creative work, is contributing greatly to the well-rounded development of its members and much to the pleasure of the campus as a whole.

WEDNESDAY Fire Department We wonder what would happen if we ever really had a fire. At least we are all pre- pared for one. How vigor- ously that clanging bell is rung in the middle of the night, and how heroically we struggle sleepily to slam the windows, grab our towels, and follow other bath-robed figures down the stairs. We are quite certain we have gone through this procedure enough to be- have quite well should oc- casion demand. Our Fire De- partment does not seem to think so, though, and still per- sists in g etting us out of bed. But, it is a good thing after all, and our fire chiefs behave very gallantly in getting out to ring the bell and lead us safely down the stairs. — SEVENTY-SIX — WEDNESDAY Laundry Day Laundry day! It always seems to come on the morning we slept through and got behind in everything we had to do. And then we have to scramble to get everything sorted and counted, and beg our room-mate to take it over because we have to hurry to class. We wonder what strangers on the campus would think about the sight of the line of figures straggling across the campus toward the laun- dry with one, two or even three bags swung over their shoulders. Then we have to collect them again. What a job to find ours in all that pile. And it is a sad case for anyone who forgets to take their bag or go after it again. Oh well, a laundry is a great institution. We all admit that. M- - SEVENTY-SEVEN ♦ WEDNESDAY Mallory Huftv President Athletic Association SEVENTY-EIGHT - THURSDAY ATHLETIC COUNCIL How did we ever get along before we had the cabin? Such good times as we have there used to be impossible. We can ' t imagine it now. So much goes on there that is an im- portant part of the school life; picnics, weenie roasts, camp- ing. The Athletic Association, headed by their council has contributed materially to a better college life by building their cabin. They sponsor so many other worth-while ac- tivities, too, which fill a need on the campus. We honor it as one of the most active and energetic organizations on the hill.

Green lights, green coverings, and many umbrellas were enough to make anyone forget dry land and feel quite at home on the ocean floor. We came away feeling very damp and salty, so clever and well-performed was the Sophomore benefit. But we could not have expected other than this from the Sophomores, for they have constantly demonstrated their abilities. — EIGHTY — FRIDAY TOWN GIRLS CLUB Marika Abbey .

The effect was un- usual to say the least. What a craning of necks occurred in the dining-room when everyone wished to know if he really used a fork! We remember, too, the excitement among the inmates of the Training School, not to mention a good sized group of college girls, when he appeared on the athletic field to demonstrate his prowess with bow and arrow. We place his visit among our most colorful memories. SIGNING OUT What a flood of associations the memory of signing out gives us! With what overwhelm- ing feelings of delightful anticipations we ap- proached Mrs. Bushnell ' s table, and with fingers almost trembling with the thrill of going away, we scribbled on the lines of the blank. Of course we were in a hurry. That was always the case. So many things to do in getting ready, and such a short time after the last class to scramble into a hat and grab our bag! But we remember this beginning of our good time as part of the fun. ••■ EIGHTY-THREE ■ ■ SATURDAY Ukurck — EIGHTY FOUR SUNDAY My Prayer As a Freshman Give me happiness, O Alma Mater. Give me laughter and plenty of song. I want to be gay and to make others gay. I ivant to scatter sunshine as I go along. Give me knoivledge, O Alma Mater. Teach me the best there is to knoiu. Help me to reap the harvest you have; To take your seed and make them grow. Give me strength, O Alma Mater. I want to help ?ny fellow man. Help me to keep on my side of the road. But ready to lean with a helping hand. So give me life, O Alma Mater. Help me to make it worthivhile. Teach me to love, to learn, to reap, to sow. Teach me to face fences and smile. — Frances Bounds. ••• EIGHTY-FIVE ••• SUNDAY Spring Finally after the dull months of seem- ingly unending winter, we enter a season of glorious weather and a quar- ter of new work. Cares seem lighter and studies easier with a clear blue sky overhead and glowing dandelions about our feet. We find new energy and heightened joy in doing every- thing. Spring is here. EIGHTY-SEVEN — LIBRARY We passed long hours today in the library working on that term paper due tomorrow. Not that today was especially unusual in that we were in the library. We find ourselves in that spot rather often during the day and evening. Each table and chair is familiar and we wonder how often we have leaned o;i that desk waiting for a book. The library shall be one of our first recollections when we some day think back on our college days. — EIGHTY-EIGHT ■•• MONDAY COMMERCIAL CLUB The Commercial Club went to Washington today. They departed, elegantly dressed, in two large buses. We expect them back, loaded with information and ready to tell us anything we want to know about the business side of a large city. This club is one we often notice doing things, and not only trips to Washington. They gave the Superstition Party that we enjoyed so much early in the j ' ear, and they issue Commercial Echoes, a most interesting periodical. Later we shall attend their benefit and see them ofE on a trip to Richmond. They are always in the midst of some ac- tivity, and never seem to rest. ■o. EIGHTY-NINE — MONDAY Josephine E.

We ' ve enjoyed greatly working together on this book. We ' re hoping everyone likes it as much as we do. Perhaps this annual is different from other annuals, but we are hoping we have put in this journal the things we most want to remember and the things which will bring back these memories. We ' ve tried hard anyway and done the best work we could. «. NINETY-TWO — WEDNESDAY CAmSBV mimn d.

All our friends, relatives, and boy-friends will arrive and it will be pouring. But our premonition rarely proves to be as dire a fact as our imaginations depict. It turns out to be a delightful occasion. All the friends, relatives, and boy-friends arrive as planned. We are terribly glad to see them. We walk and talk and pass the time until the program is to begin. Then we admir- ingly watch the maids and our queen pass in their beautiful gowns and see the pageant given in their honor. It turns out to be a lovely occasion as always, but we are glad so much excitement, all at one time, comes only once a year. ♦ NINETY-FOUR — THURSDAY LuLA Lee Llewellyn May Queen — NINETY-FIVE ♦ THURSDAY Marion Ells Maid of Honor ■ ■ NINETY-SIX • • THURSDAY JOAN BRICKHOUSE Kiwanis Club Cup presented to the one who by loyal and unselfish service during her school life contributed most to the upbuilding of the Fredericksburg State Teachers College. — NINETY-SEVEN — THURSDAY DRAMATIC CLUB Doesn ' t the name of this club make one think about some very good plays? Not only the excellent ones this year, but those of the years before are still vivid In our memories. This vin- ter the club presented The Jade God as the Y. W. benefit, and we heard and saw with pleas- ure some new actresses make their first appearance on the S. T. C. stage. They did such a good job with their eerie mystery play that there was many a shiver and convulsive clasping of hands among the audience that night. We saw and enjoyed their benefit, Pomander Walk, and then looked forward to the last Dramatic Club presentation of the year, the Commencement Play. It was all we expected and more. The Dramatic Club brings a contribution to the college that no other organization could make. ■•• NINETY-EIGHT ••• FRIDAY ' ' ■ Ou. X It, t, r ot ociniJ Ao e. Yov n g LaA. ' i rVe.v--V4 Hee the.

T. C, ready to undergo strange and unfamiliar experiences. It took only a few days to become acquainted with the campus and adjusted to new sur- roundings. Our professors and the upper classmen helped us in any way they could. Their friendly spirit made us soon love them and our college. We had our first excitement on the Friday night after our arrival when the Kid Party was given. We appreciated the friendliness and thoughts of Y. W. in giving us such a good time. During two long weeks when we endured the misery and pain known as homesickness, we also underwent the torture of Freshman Training. After a severe test we were sent forth on our own, supposedly knowing our do ' s and don ' ts. At Hallowe ' en the Commercial Club sponsored a dance for the Commercial freshmen, to which the student body was invited. Owls, black cats, and witches were everywhere. Ask anyone present that night if we did not demonstrate our liking for cider, apples, and gingerbread. Gloriously, we hailed that day, November first, when Freshman privileges bestowed upon us some freedom. Our knowledge was increasing daily as we became accustomed to chapel, convocation, house meeting, and the excitement of fire drills. The most interesting event in the histo ry of the class was the election of class officers. We chose Mary Gray Dickinson as president, Anne Lipscomb as vice- president, Mae Smith for secretary, and Nell Rose for our treasurer. We looked forward with great anticipation to the staging of the doll show. Needles were busily flying for weeks in advance. We were well repaid for our efforts by the interest shown by the doll show ' s many visitors. We doubt the propriety of talking about our benefit very much, but when the babies of the college put on a benefit that had in it cleverness and personality plus — well, it just looked as if Hollywood had crossed the continent, and it was something worth talking about. Our daisy chain, dear Sophomores, made history on that June morning. It was the longest one, and the loveliest one ever made. It compensated us a hundred- fold for hours of labor, tired backs, aching legs, and pricked fingers. Thus ended our first year of work, play and good times on the hill — the place we have learned to love more than any other.

Avenue HAMPTON, VIRGINIA ■ ■ ONE HUNDRED THIRTY-SIX — EDNA DANIEL NEWPORT NEWS, VIRGINIA SYLVIA HIRSCH PORTSMOUTH, VIRGINIA SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY In the Fall of 1933, Ye arrived at S. T. C, the biggest freshman class in the history of the college. The usual pangs of homesickness were prevalent for a time, but the Y. W. girls soon made us realize we had some good friends, and with our big sisters to look after us too, we soon felt quite at home. The first week, we were busily dashing around, fixing our schedules, finding rooms and be- coming intimate with our roommates. On the Friday night of that week we had our first social event — the Kid Party. We donned baby clothes, went to the party with our big sisters, and had a thoroughly good time. A few weeks later, we elected oflicers, and with Helen Taylor, Louise Williams, and Thelma Evans as leaders, we will go down in the annals of the college as a most important freshman class. Our sponsor was selected — the vivacious Miss Bickley. She proved to be a good worker and a very friendly person. We gave The Girl in the Little Green Hat as our benefit, and after many rehearsals, the actual performance was a great success. Near Christmas, under Julia Frances Robinson as Freshman Commissioner, we dressed dolls and worked diligently on the doll show. We enjoyed the work and were proud of the result. We distinguished ourselves by entering energetically into sports of all kinds and coming out as champions on the hockey field. Of course we made a record when we finished the daisy chain. It was a very early hour tha t spring night when we raised a shout which could have been heard across the Rappahannock. That Commencement time was a period of mixed feelings — sadness at seeing some of our big sisters for the last time, but gladness for the prospect of getting home and a long vacation. We suppose such feelings always accompany this occasion, but they were new to us. Back again after a hilarious summer we greeted our classmates and friends with much joy. We were all set to begin a successful year under the leadership of Anne Seney and our sponsor Miss Kirk. We took part in the work of all the organizations on the hill. We helped the in- coming freshmen feel at home and were glad that we were now so much a part of the campus. We gave our benefit Daze With Davy Jones, which seemed to be enjoyed by those who came to see it as m uch as we enjoyed giving it. We are glad we work so well together and have such a fine spirit of cooperation. With this we look forward to doing much next year. — ONE HUNDRED THIRTY-SEVEN ■ ■ Miss Theodora Wiesner Spo?isor ONE HUNDRED THIRTY-EIGHT ■ ■ JUNIOR CLASS Officers betty griffith Berwyn, Maryland President GRACE ELIZABETH HERR 595 Park Street Charlottesville, Virginia Vice-President MARY THERESA FOY 1041 E.

Only day before yesterday we were rollicking in the open-air theater, having a devil of a time with those goats. Remember how the goats thought they had put one over on us when they found the flag in the lamp post and substituted one for it? Oh, but the tables turned on them when we won the cup for the year! Then d ' ye remember how we worked to put on the Freshman Commission circus? And did we feel proud — having a benefit of our own ! There were freaks, side-shows, clowns — and even dogs — hot dogs ! Now, daisies may be lazy — as the song says — but we surely were not when that big moment of every freshman life comes — working on the daisy chain. Marie Krafft had us up at five every morning picking daisies, and if those daisies would tell they ' d surely tell you how hard and faithfully we worked. And then the crowning moment — we broke all past records by finishing the chain sooner than ever before in the history of the college! The whole campus soon heard about it too, for the devils nearly tore up the place. Only yesterday we were Sophomores. Time, are you still listenin ' ? That first year ' s victory over the goats was only a spark of the old fighting spirit. Victories in hockey, swimming, baseball and other frolicks won the cup for us again — this time a real one with name inscribed. Then came Darnum and Daily ' s Circus to our campus, put on by a group of professional actors, the Sophomore Class of 1933, with Mamie Easier as leader. ' Twas a big day — there were real animals, besides hot dogs — with balloons, popcorn, lemonade, peanuts! In other words, it was a real treat for the children of S. T. C. Mystery Lurked in the Dark that year, for The Ghosts Walk (ed) all about the stage one Saturday night during our pop program — and the house went up in roars. One morning we walked in tri umph and happiness, bearing the daisy chain and winding it about the open-air theater. Remember how pretty it looked on the roof garden afterwards? What a beautiful finishing touch to such a memorable year! Today, we are Juniors! Already we have won the first fight from the Goats and we are determined to win our way and the cup again this year. One of the first les- sons we taught the campus this year was It Pays to Reduce — the big theme of our benefit. The party for our little sister Devils was one of our most gala occasions. Then came our big moment, the night of the Junior-Senior Prom, with the figure led by our president, Betty Griffith. Flowers — music — the beauty of the roof garden — what a night. Old time, moving-up night came all too soon for us, even though we were mighty proud to wear those Senior rings. Tomorrow you will bring the last and probably biggest episode in our whole college life — a year of being a dignified Senior.

Uptown — Any day. Any time. There ' s a reason — • Guess this rhyme? ONE HUNDRED EIGHTY-SEVEN • JOURNEYS IN OUR DAYDREAMS DA ' DREA]VIING — it has its faults — more for me than for you — but nothing else can take us on a journey through half-forgotten memories so effectively and show us incidents so clearly, and yet so indefinitely that they seem to be parts of both today and yesterday. Dreams bordering reality — dreams of our four years ' journey in college — dreams that we are glad to remember and dreams we try to forget — dreams of home-sickness — far-away days of adjustments in the company of nearly two hundred freshies as green as we — new roommates — new situations. But sooner than we think, we are accustomed to the strange ways of doing things and the strange faces all about. Then we wonder if we ever did anything but rush to class, rush to meals, rush to meetings and rush down town — The scene in our journey changes. Our first visit at home — then back at school, we turn to work and thoughts of coming festiv- ities — Mayday with its opaque Japanese silk scarves and pastel organdie gowns — the daisy chain and our first participation in a college graduation — impressive, dignified academic procession — saying good-byes till next year. Then daydreams bring back the best part of it all — welcomes to and welcomes from old friends — old cronies, pals and roommates. This year progresses with an ex- alted idea of our sophomoric wisdom, and passes, leaving with us the idea that per- haps, after our semi-tragic experiences in Anatomy and Kinesiology Survey and the rest, we don ' t know so much after all. As we travel on in our dream-journey, our Junior year and the sight of trail ' s end looms up before us. We see our little sister Goats, our particular care but also our pride and joy, we uphold the Goat Spirit nobly — We give a most successful benefit. Sammy and our own classmate, Lula Lee, reign supreme over the May Day festival. Then come thrills intermingled with tugs at our hearts as the daydream- journey unfolds the joys of graduation time — the Junior-Senior prom — moving-up day, we arc ringed by the Seniors — commencement play — alumnae dance — graduation and farewell to our oldest college friends, the Class of ' 33. Our journey turns now to the happiest and fullest year of all. We wear for the first time — for the first time realize that we are really Seniors. During our busiest days we have our Last Round-up — many every-day things happen to remind us that this is our last year — we see Council dressed in its lovely best receiving us as students for the last time — for the last time as school hostesses, we light the candles on our Christmas table and then bid 1933 farewell! As 1934 dawns, we realize that this year holds new and untried things for us. We see the close of one phase of our journey and wait with mingled joy and fear for the things the new phase will bring.
