ECAUSE OF HIS GENIx LITY ON THE CAMPUS, HIS FRIENDLY DIGNITY IN THE CLASSROOM, AND HIS COOPERATIVE SPIRIT IN ALL CAMPUS ACTIVITIES, WE. THE STUDENTS OF MARY WASHINGTON COLLEGE, DEEM IT A HIGH PRIVILEGE AND HONOR TO DEDICATE TO DR. CHARLES GEORGE GORDON MOSS THIS, THE BATTLE- FIELD OF ONE THOUSAND NINE HUNDRED AND FORTY. NTRODUCTION Remembering . . . The little city where have walked the noble men and women of the past, leaving a heritage rare for us to emulate. Remembering . . . Those who have trekked along with us over academic trails with patience enduring, with interest unceasing, while we muddled through at long last. Remembering . . . The comradeships by the score of classmates and collegemates in terms of friendships that have painted the loveliness of sentiment in colors that will not fade on canvases whose captions will be that of Perfect Days. Remembering . . . Those events that made eventful our crowded year of thirty-nine and forty, at times so crowded the days seemed almost blocked as time marched on. Remembering . . . The past year with its rosemary and its rue gone beyond recall ! Holding . . . The thousand-eyed present with miser-like grasp, that thousand-e ' ed present that we cannot hold ... ah ! And then envisioning a future — in time to be also remembered — with much of aspiration, much of longing that will be kept locked in our hearts, and shall know no revealing on this typed page. Ah!

The Council of 1940 has striven for several goals, all based on the belief that a fair and efTective student gov- ernment system is largely dependent upon the efforts of each student. This year with an added sense of responsi- bility this group feels there is a great need of projecting into the acti -it}- of Student Government a definition of campus citizenship which can be trans- formed into an obligation to be ery generally assumed b - all students — that of being a better Alary Washing- ton College citizen. To wear this civic badge students must not only avail themselves of the power of the vote, but before casting their vote weigh the value of the candidate, impersonally, voting for the nominee who is herself a citizen of such fine standards of cit- izenship as to challenge others. Student Government on campus must make itself so recognized for its constructi e program that the College will rel ' in large measure on the organization, and do so with confidence and pride. Such a status, however, can be brought to pass only if students will build a public o[5inion on the campus so strongly sig- nificant in its disapproval of transgres- Leighton Stevens, President sions on regulatory measures which per- tain to the welfare of the student body that those transgressions will cease because of the very power of that pub- lic opinion. Such an attitude may seem too ideal, but any ideal is a thing to be striven for, though never attained. Honor — academic and personal. Since the time of the establishment of this association on the hill, it has been a foremost purpose of the Council, with the help of the student body, to uphold the traditional high standards of Mary Washington College. This includes the e ' er-present awareness that honor comes first. •48 STUDENT COUNCIL OFFICERS Leighton Stevens President Jeanette Cooper Vice-President JuANiTA Lassetter Secretary Elizabeth Snow Treasurer DORMITORY PRESIDENTS Jane Day Frances Willard Hall Donald Holden Virginia Hail Barbara DePass Betty Lewis Hall ' lRGiNL Fiske Dolly Madison Hall EuGENL Moore Mary Ball Hall Dorothy MuNDEN Mary Custis Hall Martha Murray ' Westmoreland Hall REPRESENTATIVES Courtney ' Edmond Senior Class Margaret Gilman Junior Class Sally Phillis Sophomore Class Virginia Urbin Freshman Class Alma Harris Town Girl EX-OFFICIO Mary Estes Y.W.C.A.

Y work in spiritual and social activities is ac- complished b} ' committees under the guidance of chairman on Cabinet. The Kid Part -, an annual social gathering of big and little sisters, is a major event in Y ' s social calendar. This year Y.W. has sponsored suc- cessfully a book club which makes it possible for girls in each dormitory to have access to man}- books the - ha ' e always wanted t o read as well as securing current publications. The Association each year sends representatives to the annual South- ern Conference at Blue Ridge, N.C., and to other student conferences held throughout the year. Y.W. attempts to bring al)Out a spirit of good fellowship within the student body. It encourages a daih communion with God through Ves- M.

Beloiv is a hit of what we ' ve done The wonderful Class of ' 41. Way back when we had an election These were the gals of our selection: The president was a gal that made thi)igs go; Her name ivas Ewing; we called her Jo. Here ' s one vice-president we ain ' t fergittin ' , She ' s all right — our Nancy Litton. We all liked Wendy — she took the notes, Wrote the minutes, and counted the votes. For the Junior spendings, sprees, ami frills Marjorie Dudley paid the bills. She wrote things down for us to glory in — Lorraine Dove, the class historian. On hand to keep us from drawing straivs, Rhea James; our expert on laws. On the hill the man of the hour We •won, our sponsor. Dr. Bauer. For the Freshmen-Junior Frolic We made the gym a place bucolic, Old songs, old dances, ' ' Circle Right! Peanuts, cornstalks, Bar?! Dance Tonight! The Red Hat — you all renwmher it. The scene of the Junior Benefit; The highest jinks in many a day. The quiet old hill was really gay. The Prom — a happy time, it ' s true Yet some deeper meaning, too, It bore: with solemn hearts we donned the Ring A prelude to a future spring. 101 SENIOR CLASS OF 1940 OFFICERS Ruth Cheshire President Martha Lee Bennett ....

We gmv impatient at times and unruly, For yesterday had its share of tears and failure, But you knew, and quietly modelled on. Yours zvas not one of blind alleys and guesswork. Your Art dreiv from the store of an American heritage, And your teacher n ' as Life and the Master Craftsman. You blamed us not for our mistakes and our trials, But took hunuin emotions, love, interests, and abilities. And fitted their planes, and lights and shadows Into a figure formed of strength and development. And by so doing gave this group that thing called character. Today we stand before you, proud, and full of love and courage. You have given all, but will you take this torch from us? Youth is still willing to fight for these ideals That you have written indelibly upon our souls; You have done the greater work, and though It will be others ' part to cast the mold, We give our hands in faith with you and God. —MARGARET WILSON BURROUGHS • 140 •L Tiie Three R ' JUVENTS THAT FOLLOWED IN QUICK SUC- CESSION, LIKE A PASSING PAGEANT Disnitaries lay the cornerstone.

On Monday afternoons the editorial staff meets and recei es lessons in the technicalities of journalism. Later in the week assignments arc gi en out and then the reporters arc on the run with noses for news. Thursdax ' nights find a frantic little group of make-up artists in the conference room of Mar - Ball Hall fitting in news and features. Early Frida ' morning the dummy is whisked down to the printers, and the finished product comes back that night to be distributed among the students. The -Staff ' hopes that each time the student will lind in the colunms a re])resentati e cross- section of college life from much-needed ad- -ertisement gi ing directions where she can spend her newly-arrived allowance to what entertainment the social calendar affords, or a resume of additional ])lans for future greatness of .Mar}- Washington College, or echoes from other ccjllegiate siu ' roundings, or a bit of hu- mor here and a bit of sentiment there. The Staff ' asks the indulgence of its readers in incorporating in this article its own hope for the future with reference to one jjarticular phase that is so ital a ])hase for an - news- paper, the [lower of splendidh written edi- torials, which are the most effective medium for rousing the opinion of a community in a program for betterment. The Staff of 1940 hopes for its successors just such use of its editorial space and much success for all of its efforts in the coming season. 161 [ mtlinGTo nj Sh (CnttUuni (ttlub Miss Jakie Edge.

Thirteen personalities go to make up this group which is one of the most popular means of entertainment on the campus. It is rapidly rising to new heights in popularity with its own radio programs and social events, both on the hill and in the cit} ' of Fredericksburg. The Freshman Part} ' was the first social e ent on the campus at which the orchestra played this year. When the International Relations Club had its convention, the un- usual arrangements of popular tunes by the group for the dance caused much comment from the delegates who attended. The various class benefits have all enjoyed the music of the orchestra. In Fredericksburg, the orchestra has at- tained popularity, not onh- on the radio, but b} making public appearances. At the Spring Style Show , the music was furnished by the orchestra. 179 • Ihe Modern Portias, a literary club sponsored by the J ]_J lLS iy head of the English Department, is open to English majors and minors -|pv of junior and senior rank. Its purpose is to foster the study of English D ' T T A Q classical literature, to develop a keener appreciation for correctness in form and for true merit in the content of literature, and to cont ribute to the general cultural and social aspects of the life at the College. Annually the members of this organization give a Convocation pro- gram. This year it included the study of the flags, flowers and songs of the States taken from the book American Nicknames, written by the sponsor of the club. Dr. George Earlie Shankle. The annual formal banquet is a social event of the college year, and was held in the Gold Room of the Palm Grill.

THLETIC SSOCIATION OFFICERS Jane Adams President Virginia Dare Dougherty . . Vice-President Rebecca Buckingham Secretary Katherine Roberts Treasurer IVIembership in the Athletic Association is open to every Mary Washington College girl. The guides to the Athletic Association in its program were the A. A. Council and the Executive Board. Council consisted of four officers, the chairman of each sport, and two freshmen representatives; while the members of the Executive Board were the four officers, the gen- eral chairman, and a member selected from and by the Council. This year, each striving toward their definite con- structive goals, were four new member clubs, the Ter- rapins (swimming), Hoof Prints (riding). Fencing, and Modern Dance. These clubs were presided over by the chairmen of the specific activities. Special sports, such as Badminton, Bowling, and Ping-pong came into vogue this year with more real interest shown than has heretofore been exhibited. In the fall, competition began for the Devil-Goat Cup as Hockey took its role in the activities of the year. Volley Ball tournaments gave an added enjoyment to both students and faculty; the Kirby Kangaroos and the Peirce Pole Cats will never be forgotten. Golf and Tennis tournaments were held in the fall and spring. The quietude of the cabin on the hill remains pleasant for outdoor lovers of the college. The Round Robin 190 Basketball tournament concluded with the sophomores defeating the seniors. No student can e er forget the accomijlishments of the Athletic Association this ear, and it should he the goal of future associations to aspire to surpass our achie ements.

In the winter quarter, the club meets twice a week. During these meetings, the members engage in actual com- bat, thereby increasing their skill and enjoy- ing the thrill of physical competition. Because it develops poise, grace, and active physical and mental coordination. Fencing is fast becoming one of our most popular sports.

So sorry but jolly well glad I found the Battlefield in! I raced through it to find the section dear to my heart — the Athletic section — and praise Allah, if it isn ' t positively glorious. I found myself in spirit crawl- ing through the water with Ann, leaping for the old goal with Jane, shooting an arrow into the air with L.W.K. , and high serving a ball just over the net to that Stunner whom I do not know. I could not register a thrill when I came to the fencers, simply because I did not take that sport, but they look like the last word in form. And Kay, the Golf Girl, gone glamourous. The hockey players got so close to me by the pictured page that I felt my own shins ache. ... No more now.
