I TO MEMBERS OF OUR FACULTY WHO HAV t ' OCi ' ENTERED THE SERVICE OF OUR COUNTR _ HKOUGHOUT the centuries of man ' s experience there has lain deep within the heart, the soul of man a poignant, innate ardor that ignites in response to a struggle for freedom. Call it honor, call it sacrifice, call it duty or patriotism — as you will. There is always in that response the basic recognition of the ever-existing paradox that one must sacrifice freedom in order to maintain freedom. In ijj6, men called that response a spirit ; in 1942, men call it service. Reverently we utter our thanks toward a God who has placed in the hearts of men that flame — incandescent in its kinship with the divine. Of such (Quality is that vital desire to strive for an ideal beyond the individual himself and to seek to attain a democracy beyond the limits of one land of one people. In ig42 we call it service; yet we remember that it was endowed us through measure of what men formerly termed the ' ' spirit of j ytf. PRO DEO, D O M O, P A T R I A 00 KS are wonderful things, for they tell us so much. Books are also strange things, for we can ' t make of them exactly what we wish. They are no better and no greater than the individuals whom they mirror. Fellow students, it is you who have written this book since it is a revelation of that institution of which you are a very real part. As you have helped the book to grow, so also should you be contributing to the achievements of our college. That Mary Washington College has attained external growth is evidenced by the new capitals and columns that have been added about our campus. Columns and capitals indicate a striving for that which is sturdy and permanent and that which is grand in simplicity, for columns reach towards God. The columns of our campus ought to be built of more than granite. They should be symbolic of the personal columns that we ourselves are building. Are they a vain groping for something higher, or are they columns crowned with the capitals of inward happiness, humility, service, and — democratic living? Are they built upon a recognition of the stark realities that confront us? Are they established with a resolve to meet and challenge these realities? Throughout this book the structure and composition of our columns has been indicated, and pranks and pleasures, activities and goals have been included as well. We hope that we have told the whole story. We leave it for you, however, to determine whether the columns we have shown are being crowned for God, for Home, and for Country.

Remember ' ' Christ- mas at Kenmore and the Church Choir ? Remember the Red Cross Poster and dolls galore? What a joyous Christmas for the child- ren at Blue Ridge ! FRESHMEN COMMISSION N they come — hun- dreds and hundreds of freshmen — strange faces, new talents, and enthusiasm to spare! Come the inevitable elections, and sixteen out of those hundreds are chosen. Freshmen commis- sion is off! O.K., so you Willardites do hate them all now for helping add on those extra pounds by doing such a service as selling you candy. Still, it did taste good at 10:15 every night, didn ' t it? Remember those whiffs of dust you saw just before Christmas? No matter how mystihed we all were at the time, it turned out to be the best Doll Show ever set up. Speaking of dolls, many ' s the faculty baby that has been quieted and guarded by a ' ' Mama- for-a-night Commissioner while Mom and Daddy Prof went high-stepping.

These are the members of that unit which during the session of 1941-41 have directed their efforts toward making our own democ- racy, limited as it may be in influence, a proj- ect that is practicable and an ideal to be cherished. We call our student government limited in scope. Perhaps it is, but it may also be to the contrary. We cannot yet determine how much its lessons and its practices may be con- tributing to a more democratic future. We do know that our council cannot be successful without the force of the whole student body behind it. To the members of this year ' s council goes our appreciation.

Inspiring words are sung by twenty-five eager voices . . . the eager voices of those white-clad students bedecked with that famil- iar blue triangle which is perhaps the first in- signia to endear itself to the lonely freshmen. In those first autumn days the twenty-five mem- bers of Y.W. Cabinet cover the campus, doing a thousand unnamed jobs and speaking a ple- thora of encouraging words. October comes. Y.Ws gleam is to be fol- lowed not only by cabinet, but also by the asso- ciation members — both new and old students. From then on vespers, devotionals, freshmen commission, chapel programs and monthly association meetings are regular functions. Midwinter arrives. The gleam is perhaps its brightest when Religious Emphasis Week brings such speakers as Scotty Cowan, Harold Reese and our own Dr. Anderson. Spring comes. Y ' s A-Poppin ' bursts forth like measles into a hilarious show. It ' s a show you ' ll never forget, especially if it pops an inside story about you. Easter season. Once again we realize the inestimable value of this splendid organization as together we Follow the Gleam.

Is there anyone any more elusive than a club president when you simply have to see her? At any rate, it ' s always a trying experience, for it seems to be a requisite of leaders that they always be busy, but busy elsewhere. Just to prove to you that presidents, etc. are obtainable if you persist long enough, we have gathered all your leaders together. We confess that it took George Washington steps and eight o ' clock in the morning before the camera caught all of them.

We love our school, so we set about to give it our greatest boost. We praise our student body and our profes- sors because they are praise-worthy. We rave about our new library and our natural campus be- cause they are truly phenomenal. The Bullet is the mirror which reflects the spirit, the talents and the traits which characterize the Mary Washing- ton girl. The Bullet does not belong merely to its editors or to its staff of writers. It is an organ through which the school expresses itself either directly or indirectly. The faculty gives voice to its opinions in the Notes from a Prof column and students are urged to give vent to their sentiments in a reg- ular Bull Session column. Our campus paper strives to give interesting and accurate coverage of every phase of campus activ- ities. Events which hold the greatest interest to the student hold the spot light. This is the only medium through which the student may obtain a well-rounded knowledge of current affairs related to the campus. The Bullet is a record which plays back the col- or, the music, the tone of a campus symphony com- posed of a Gold Miners ' Honky Tonk, a Horse Show, a May Day, a Sweater Girl Contest, a March of Dimes Drive, a Leaders ' Club meeting, an opera, a love match, a hockey game, a German, a Prom, a Cotillion, an outstanding personality. The Bullet feels the pulse of a college student who moves from a normal, peaceful age of money, beautiful clothes, luxuries, and conveniences into a world of self-sacrifice, denial and a struggle for the stark, elemental principles upon which her country is based. The Bullet is the bond which units students with students, and students with faculty. From their ex- pressions the paper formulates the general atti- tude and the peculiar characteristics of eur own campus. M.W.C.IsOnIts Toes In Defense Activities Twelve Students In Who ' s Who Twelve Hary Washington Col- lege students will have their bio- graphies in Who ' s Who Among Students. 1941-42 Edition. The selection of these students is made by a committee of the faculty members of the College. The students who have been se- lected are: Edith Beamer, Hills- ville, Virginia; Ada Clement, Newport News, Virginia; Dorothy Harrington, Gilbertsville, New York; Evalyn Kerby, Clifton Forge, Virginia; Sally McPhail, Lakeland, Florida; Nancy Mann, Richmond, Virginia; Margaret Moran, Warren, Ohio; Katharine Nutt, Wakefield, Massachusetts; Edna Reed, Sea-View, Virginia; Myran Russell, Denver, Colorado; Ruth Seay, Norfolk, Virginia; Betty Whitacre, ( Mrs. Virgil Hunter), Blanchester, Ohio. Qualifications for Who ' s Who , include as prerequisites: leader- ship in extra-curricular activities; such as athletics, society, religion, and student government; and ex- cellence in scholarship. Bullet Goes Moderne streamlining Typifies 1942 Bullet The Bullet scooped its own story when a new staff crashed into modern journalism, and acquired a new, completely furnished of- fice all in one year. The conservative old rag went through metamorphasis and em- erged streamlined. Old fashioned seriph heads were thrown out; and the new sleek non-seriph was established. Traditional lines wlvch separated columns were eliminated and the new flush head was crammed with lively pictures of campus activities. Everything was streamlined down to the last period. Zest, life, and enthusiasm de- scribes the new Bullet — news writing similated the professional. Ideas hummed in the new office as reporters busily scratched out a hot story, snatched up a new as- signment, or helped with copy reading or make-up. THE CAMPUS DAHL By Monika Dahl We must utilize our resources to the utmost wisdom for the wel- fare of our nation, stated Dr. Combs in an address before the faculty and student body of the college. Dr. Combs emphasized that Mary Washington College is in a position to render a great ser- vice to the people of this commun- ity, perhaps better than any or- ganization in this vicinity, and he went on to say: The principles of democracy must be practiced on this campus as never before. Soon after this ultimatum was given by the President of the Col- lege, all the clubs and organiza- lions on the hill turned into de- fense centers. A Victory Booth was set up so that students might purchase defense stamps; many girls began knitting sweaters for the Red Cross; a course in home nursing was given; groups met for instruction in fire-fighting, child- care, recreational leadership, and the promotion of morale; all stud- ents cooperated in saving waste paper and in conserving electric power; and an air-raid spotter sta- tion was established on the cam- pus under the auspices of the United States Army. A plan is being prepared in which the faculty and students will work as a unit, the faculty helping students work out any problems that may come up be- cause of the war. The motto of the whole college is to do an ex- cellent job today, and to do aii even better one tomorrow that we may all increase our efficien- cy and unity. Looks like much fun has flow- ed under lots of bridges and we have had our nose in as much of it as would have our nose. There SHINLNG HOUR For Aloise and Dorothy. Did you weep for Aloise ,too There was a certain neophite drama critic in row O, seat 1, who sobbed out loud. M. W. has an embryonic Kit Cornell. Who? Dorothy Harring- ton, of course. CHIT CHAT German Club ' s week-end surely was fun, hard as it was to find that myth, a date. Jean Ivery ' s uncle did some good turns by sending a special detail from Fort Eustis to College Heights to promenade with the ladies right — Those Randolph-Macon boys sure know their dance tunes. Cotillion ' s Sweetheart Dance was mighty super. Those adora- ble muffs with corsages must have tickled the cockles of St. Valen- tine ' s heart. — And that super Marine Band was so good a return engagement was arranged by pop- ular demand. BENEFICENTS The Seniors surely know their benefits. Imagine — a Gold Miner ' s Honky Tonk vrith all the trim- mings plus Paul Draper! Those cute signs — Warm the Baby ' s Bottle Here, the costumes, and the bit off-key prospectors ' quar- tet made one grand evening. Those Jimiors did themselves up brown with their Beauty Contest. Have you ever seen anyone any more glamour-plus than Myran? They grow ' em like that out West. So the Sophomores have a. Sweater Girl Contest, with a cer- tain Bill Dudley, reportedly AH- American, on the board of judges. How could he help but choose Aloise, she looked so precious — Elizabeth Kay did the Freshmen proud, taking the prize for run- ner-up. PKOM POST MORTEM Has history ever seen such a siege of hair-brushing, face-cream- ing and nail-growing as preceded the Proms? But it wasn ' t wasted energy. The bevy of belles that trekked to the Hall of Mirrors on those P. M. ' s makes M. W. C. beam with pride. DOLLED UP This year ' s Freshmen Commis- sioners did a smooth job with their Doll Show. How did the judges ever pick the winners ? Our pet was Christmas at Kenmore. Y ' s A-Poppin ' , the Y. W. bene- fit, went off with a bang with — Peggy Moran looking more like a windmill on the loose than Clementine in The 49er — a real- istic portrayal of M. W. Lyceum- goers in Culture in the Rough — Levine Houston warbling Jenny Made Her Mind Up — Mr. McDer- mott playing Lazy Bones in a reclining position — and the most artistic and efficient heckling in history (Persoonnages participat- ing — Dr. Mary Baker and Dr. Whitesell). This winds up Chatter for a while. See you at Home-coming.

That ' s the way our Mary Washington Band inarches. Left Face! 48 peppy girls displaying their regimental charm — straight, tall, joyful. Guard Right ! Snappy bright blue and white uniforms, shiny white boots, perky caps they wear — proud waves the flag they bear. Forward! Marching off with laurels at the Peanut Festival, a football game, even escort- ing Santa Claus uptown — they make music while they march— hark !— the drums that beat — the tramp of feet ! Halt! Can ' t you just see them parading across the campus — another maneuver.

Long after it was heard no more. WORDSWORTH (Several hundred shaky girls trip one by one into a spacious room which is almost empty— so empty that the very walls seem to throw back every squeak and every wavering note of music. Voices, one by one, one piano, only one listener, and at length, the prelude is over. The Glee Club has begun its song for the year. Verse by verse is composed as week by week the girls gather for rehearsals. Perhaps all is not harmony at first, but in the final song those earlier efforts are certainly blended. And if you ' ve ever been in the region of Monroe Hall on a Tuesday evening, no doubt you ' ve almost waited for the ivied walls to sway in musical sympathy. After a time Old Saint Nick comes to our campus, and his pack fairly brims over with holiday cheer. ' Tis then that the curtains of our great auditorium are parted, and the chorus begins. There are colored lights, black-robed and white-collared singers, and the glorious carols rise in praise and appreciation for the Birthday of Our King. The tender charm of such songs is unforgettable. Again those weeks of practicing. With spring comes more music and joint concerts, even guest glee clubs. The finale? May Day. Soon after the Tuesday gatherings cease; the song is ended, but the melody lingers on. President Edna P.

Dance Orchestra. Just to show you that you can ' t always judge by appearances, the dance orchestra looks harmless enough, doesn ' t it? But our warning to you is that when their trumpets get to blowing and their drums start beating — you ' d better give in, ' cause they ' ve got rhythm. With Stardust and Night and Day still popular you can relax in a slow fox- trot, but for the jitterbugs the orchestra has a few hot numbers as well. And there ' s one guarantee about our orchestra — they ' ll always be playing away faithfully. Tunes may come in and go out, but the orchestra will keep on playing. SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA Concert Mistress Deborah Gi OLDSTEIN GLEAMING harp, pol- ished cellos, flashing horns and woodwinds, plus the ever-impressive conductor ' s stand have a glamour all their own in an everyday world of Chattanooga Choo-Choo and Blues in the Night. ' ' Certainly our symphony orchestra has an enviable lot in being an informal organi- zation which, when the occasion arises, can command sufficient dignity to impress the whole student body. Of course, we grant you that the occasion doesn ' t arise as often as every Monday, Wed- nesday, and Friday from three until five. If you ' re in the mood to write a bit of poetry, we ' d scarcely advocate your being within close range of the orchestra in its less symphonic moments. Still, when the time comes, the per- formances are smooth enough. Acquaintances of Bach and Tschaikowsky, the members of the orchestra can still enjoy a rendition of Jingle Bells. Speaking of Jin- gle Bells, ' ' it was not the ' ' night before Christ- mas but the night before Thanksgiving when ' ' not a creature was stirring on our cam- pus except for our symphony orchestra, booked that night for a performance before the Vir- ginia Educational Association. 85 LE CERCLE FRANCAIS months, or even in years of occupation, a spirit that has been built by generation after genera- tion of patient and faithful men and women. Open a portfoho and ask Manet and Cezanne, Renoir and Degas, to refresh your memories of France. Then think of the French man or woman you like best, of an old mill in Provence, of an apple orchard in Normandy, of the book- shops on the quais of Paris, of some beautiful, long, rolling sentence in Chateaubriand ' s mem- oirs, of a blue sky, of a soft French voice, and the Spirit of France will be alive in you, as it is this very minute in the minds of the millions of Frenchmen, who suffer for France and wor- ship her.

However, since this isn ' t quite the time for travel, they think the scintillating Carmen Miranda, the conventional and exotic tur- bans, and barbarious Indian jewelry will have to provide their local color. Someday, sometime, perhaps, girls, you shall see these things in their original setting, and with a dashing Latin gentleman or two for good measure. Perhaps you can get together on a tramp steamer, or if you can collect enough re- treads, go rolling down the Pan-American Highway. 87 President Katharine F.

The column grew with the Freshmen entertaining their sister class — the Juniors with the successful Barn Dance. Re- member the straw hats and those beautiful red bandanas? Such fun! The second column — our Sophomore year. The first de- fense benefit to be given by a class with all the proceeds going to the War Defense Fund.

Anyhow, they do seem to be industrious, patient, and interested, and certainly those are necessary attributes in their selected field. Surely this is an age for science, and there will be sufficient niches for these girls who enjoy playing with test tubes and beakers, glass stirring rods and Bunsen burners, with acids and salts. The girls who love birds, plants, and animals and those who are fascin- ated by electricity and machines, have chosen wisely to follow in the footsteps of their path- finder, Maury, in these days when science really counts.

HE Modern Portias represent the college litteratae, but actually the study of good literature is only one of the activities afforded by the club. Just as Portia, as portrayed by Shakespeare, represented a high type of womanhood with knowledge, abilities, and interests far in advance of her day, so our Portias also keep astride of current affairs and current books. Shakespeare ' s Portia has also been described as an example of a well-balanced personality. Our Portias, although they don ' t pretend to make the outwitting of Shylocks a habit, do realize that balance of personality is an asset. For this reason, teas, theater trips, and formal dinners are the vogue with the Portias. 116 President Edna Rubin Vice-President Lottie Brockwell Secretary Geraldine Anthony Treasurer Mary Lou Daniel Reporter Lois Powers Sponsor Dr. George Earlie Shankle Anne Abell Geraldine Anthony Lottie Brockwell Jean Page Buxton Albertine Christian Elizabeth Collins Mary Lou Daniel Elsie Davis Emma Jane Davis Margaret Early Fav Fletcher MEMBERS Nora Hurt Jean Adair Ivery Lucy E.

This was not a cam- paign against a physical enemy but against a more treacherous one — a broken morale. Its immediate aim was a complete rout of gloom. Surround it with entertainment, bombard it with activity, and blockade despair was the purpose. It was a successful undertaking.

It doesn ' t just grow the way that Topsy did, and there is more to it than meets the eye. It all began last September when general and staff met to plan the first campaign — a cam- paign as to a theme and sequence for the book. They wanted something different, something more real. Like the children who looked for the bluebird, the staff finally realized that its theme was right here on our own campus. So ended the first campaign, and the field having been decided upon, the battle was begun. Then things really began to happen. First it was pictures — Seniors, organizations. Jun- iors, more clubs. Sophomores, Freshmen, and Faculty — all to be alphabetized, ordered, and checked. Comes January and February and the con- stant cry is for final orders, the last straggling pictures, and copy. It is then that the words ' ' Copy, Hurry, More Copy , ' ' drums a dissonant march in the ears of the staff. The weary mem- bers, trying to be faithful to general and mili- tia, write, type, read, and copy. No sooner is everything mailed out than it comes trooping back — this time to be proof- read. A few last pants, several heavy sighs, and a lean, groping hand slips the last dummy sheets into the mail. What about general and attaches now, you ask? Only this — that the battle is over, and our field is in your hands. The dummy is all in and so are the dummies. 143 EPAULET ' OES a comma come after ' however ' or doesn ' t it? Will some- body please look in Webster ' s and find the cor- rect spelling of papilionaceous? If I have to proofread one more love poem, I ' ll die! Say, this essay is good ! It ' s so deep that nobody can understand it! These, and other sundry com- ments, are a fair example of the conversational abilities of the staff while proofreading The Epaulet — the literary magazine for and by the students of the college. The Epaulet is celebrat- ing its second anniversary this year, and it is to be hoped that it will celebrate many more.

At any plunge hour you ' ll see them gliding through the water, or perhaps through the air. They ' re a cheerful lot too. In fact, they are so happy-go-lucky when in sight of water that various and sundry indi- viduals have been known to take a backward fling into the pool — and were they surprised! So, when in Rome do as the Romans do, and when in the pool watch what the Terrapins do.

Indeed, to speak of our having hailed this campus four years ago and of our bidding it farewell now is a matter all too paradoxical. We admit that we were the usual genial, diligent, high-spirited Freshmen — dauntless, yet nothing more than Freshmen. It is also true that as Sophomores we became somewhat more subdued and steady. As Juniors and Seniors we hope that something of what we have done at Mary Washington College will be deserving of memory. And now, we have completed our four years. Four years at Mary Washington College — four years of fun and parties, of games and contests, of dinners and dances, of concerts and plays — four years of industry and effort, of work and cooperation, of gaiety, even a little sorrow, of thought and dreams — four years of training and preparation — these last are the keywords. This is not a time for bidding farewell, but rather, it is time for a ready hello, as we leave our college. The history of the Class of 1942. is just beginning to unfold. After these four years in which we have tried to prepare and train for that abyss-like something which we term the future, we hope we are ready for it. These years have been sheltered years, so sheltered that we have been able to see this very col- lege grow before our eyes. Buildings that in 1938 were only visions now echo with laughter or reflect the dignity of the quiet student. A campus then beautiful in a glowing Indian Summer warms again as another spring brings even more bright flowers. It has been a sheltered life, and we thank God for it. Now the time for trifles and dreams is over. Now, Seniors, let us challenge ourselves that our history be not a thing of the past, but a vital drama of the future. Let it be a drama not of unawareness and a pageantry of false ambitions, but let it be a drama of reality, of actions, of citizenship. The role of citizenship must be played well and tempered with spiritual guidance and fortitude. With this challenge in mind then, the Senior Class of 1 42. says Vale to her college, but to the world she bids a resounding Ave. SENIORS Directory Ann Abell Sinitbfield, North Carolina ' iolet Abrams Morristown, Neiv Jersey Eleanor Adams Emporia, Virginia Louise Alsbrook Kingstree, South Carolina Thelma Louise Alston Kichmond, Virginia Alyce Lockard Amory Hampton, Virginia Evelyn Virginia Anderson Richmond, Virginia Elizabeth Anthony Buckroe Beach, Virginia Geraldine Anthony Vortsmouth, Virginia Jean Applegate Matawan, Neio Jersey Eudora Marion Armstrong Fredericksburg, Virginia Edith Evelyn Beamer Hillsville, Virginia Virginia Bennett Morrisville, Pennsylvania Jeannette Berry Falmouth, Virginia Margaret Somervell Berry Benning, D.C.
