T ' OTJNDED 19 OS TKp DEO T OMO TATEJA GEORGE WASHINGTON HALL THE STUDENTS OF MARY WASHINGTON COLLEGE HOLD IT A HAPPY PLEASURE AND DEEM IT A HIGH PRIVILEGE TO DEDICATE THE BATTLEFIELD OF NINETEEN HUNDRED AND FORTY ' THREE DR. HUGO ILTIS IN WHOM THEY RECOGNIZE A SCIENTIST OF WIDE RENOWN WHOSE SCHOLARSHIP IS ONE OF BRILLIANT ATTAINMENT WHOSE NOBLE QUALITIES AS A PROFESSOR ARE SUCH AS BECOME A GREAT TEACHER WHOSE PATRIOTISM IS LIKE UNTO A PURE WHITE FLAME THAT KNOWS NO WAVERING WHOSE FRIENDSHIP IS HELD DEAR AND PRIZED AS A VALUED POSSESSION PRESENTATION VERY great artist has a master- piece. Upon this he lavishes all care and love, criticizing, changing, correcting, and perfecting. When at last the work has met his approval, he stands back, content to look and smile his satisfaction. Our school has given us her time, her ideas, and her love. She is shaping oiur lives in the paths she wishes us to go. The spirit of the school, her beauty, her thought, and her ideals are finding their reflections in her works — ourselves; but the thought is not ended here, for we, in turn, are reflecting the spirit of Mary Washington College. Her traditions with the students are the school. They are one and inseparable. And just as the artist surveys his handiwork, just so Mary Washington as our Alma Mater surveys us; and we survey our school. We have eagerly assembled in this volume our thoughts of gay moments and sober ones, of play and study, of stately columns, of friendship and love. This book, comrades, is not only a symbol of Mary Washington; it is Mary Washington — because it is a part of it. It is your book; it is you who have made it, for it is you who have lived it. We have been glad to sing the aimals of the 1943 Battlefield; we hope you will be happy in receiving it; proud to possess it.

That would be the same as re- membering the college when it was a three-building school — but much more difficult. Why Y ? Shall we inspect a quarter that is Y-less ? It might be called Alice in Horrurlaiiil. Alice has very stylish clothes — typical of freshmen and seniors — and a feather cut — that makes her a freshman. Her hair used to be long and glamourous in high school days — quite a hit it made, too — but for the right collegiate effect, she had it bobbed. Living m the days of gas rationing, Alice is com- ing to school on the train. At long last the con- ductor comes through vocalizing indifferently on Fredericksburg. Her heart leaps and carries her off the train. There she is — where? Long ago white- clad cabinet members would have put her at ease, but now she merely calls a taxi. After she reaches her dorm, things are a little bet- ter, but Alice is rather confused as to what is going on. It would be rather nice if some upperclassman would take charge — in a sisterly sort of way. And It would be nice to have some way of getting ac- quainted with the other freshmen. In letters home Alice mentions the fact that she misses her religious life. I don ' t know why, but it seems sort of old-fashioned to go to church here. Poor Alice! Y used to keep the spiritual gleam burning. However, there are no inspiring vesper services just before lights out, no chances to meet town ministers on the hill, no religious emphasis now. What a horrorland Alice was in! Three cheers for our Y . Hip, hip — 38 We arc gmicd mentally, socially, ami spritually hy the thrcc- siilci triangle wluch mahcs our lives hceomc more square. ;-!

knees. With a determination that belied our feelings, we tried to look like sophisticated upperclassmen. During those first trying days of registration and orientation, the do ' s and don ' ts were competently impressed upon our untutored minds by Student Government. However, Y.W.C.A. more than com- pensated for the grind in a party by the pool that smelled of autumn and apple cider. Then came the Kid Partv and our status as underclassmen was once again impressed upon us, but with such wonderful big sisters, who minded? The Rains Came to initiate our first quarter of college life. Water, water, everywhere ... and we drank ours warm from the dining hall! There were shots for typhoid and shouts of joy when the lights came on. Tests came and were followed by a few scattered yellow slips which spelled deficiencies. A little hard work pulled us up to par, and we began to look forward to the holidays. When we returned, we found our number showed a decrease, due mainly to Cupid ' s arrows. Our classmates are everywhere, but the majority of us will go on to make the Class of 1946. We will remember that day in September, 1942, as the beginning of an understanding of friendship, of comradeship, and of life. That day which seems so long ago is really only a moment of yesterday. 81 Betiy Lou Loftis President Marie Aeell VicrPrcsiJciit Pat Griffin Secretary Miriam Riggs Treasurer Mildred Dixon EJitor 0 Y.W.C.A.

What a year! It seems so long since that first sultry September day, so much has happeneci . . . remember? Installation at Sunday night devotionals — white candles, white dresses and Follow the Gleam. Inspiring and unforgettable. The week-end at the cabin with Mane Abell, the bugler, oversleeping, Stuart Williamson ' s delicious scrambled eggs, Kitty Coleman, crack toast burner, and Bev Beadles ' good to the last drop coffee. Happy memories — hostessing at the Sunday after- noon freshman teas with Mim Riggs and Anne Colbert doing their best to keep the tea table well supplied with those fancy tidbits. Then in December the annual doll show when Betty Lou Loftis, Sunny Brown, Sammy May, Pat Mathewson and their committees received recogni- tion for their Raggedy Anns. The bride wore white. - ■ «%- but atop her shoulder was a blue ribbon. Her trous- seau was complete, but where, oh where, was the groom? And then there was the saucy Raggedy Ann who tried to display an ill-shaped leg to its best advantage. However, we know that the dolls made Christmas a lot happier for a number of tots at Blue Ridge. Commission did its little bit for Y ' s A-Poppin too. We ' ll say they did! Will anyone ever forget Sammy May perched on her stepladder balcony seat, Mickey Dixon and her press box, and the efficient ushers in the persons of Pat Grifhn and Ellen Turnbull? Happy, happy memories — but a few unhappy ones too, such as trying to keep ye WiUardites posted on who the candy-keeper was and just as important — full or e mpty!

She tries to assume an expression of placidness, but her eyes deceive; for in their depth one reads the un- easiness which is gripping her heart. A council girl approaches after ■what seems an eternity ot v ' aiting with a mind full of scorpions. She follows. They enter the door. It is closed. The case is begun. . . . This, of course, is an exaggerated story, but so are many of the conceptions of Student Council. The goal of this group elected to represent the stu- dent body will be accomplished only when everyone incorporated in this Student Government will dis- in the ffall of Mirrors on November 6, 1942. Their greatest effort has been in the selling of War Stamps and Bonds since the outbreak of the war. But few realize the number of varied activities which enter into the program ot Student Government repre- sentatives. Theirs is the privilege of striving to keep intact a government ot the students, by the students, and for the students. card any stupid ideas that council is a group to say what not to do and to punish lawbreakers; when everyone feels that the Honor Code is a part of her very being; when every girl realizes that construc- tion, rather than destruction, is to be sought.

They know how admirably she dispatches her duties on the State Board of Education, yet they prize even more her warm inti- mate moments of personalized friendship with the individual girls. Some say she has a hobby — that of collecting antiques — but we are convinced her real interest lies in her sustained efforts in service to Moderns ... the young people of today.

Thus spoke the president at one of the first meet- ings, and who are we to question the word of so distinguished a person! All sophomores remember their first few weeks here. Of course, they were slightly dubious as to w hat was about to happen, but they came m with a song on their lips — Tonight We Love, to be exact. Any resemblance between the above and the traditional whistling of the little fellow passing the cemetery is purely intentional. Despite our sophisticated warbling, however, we enjoyed our Kid Party thoroughly. After all, it isn ' t everybody who can parade before the Governor of Virginia. What did the Governor of Virginia say to the President of Mary Washington College? We don ' t know, but it was exciting waiting for the re- sults as to which freshman did look most kiddish. How our big sisters cheered us on! And those loUypops took us back to our ante-high school senior. childhood days. Yes Indeed, we were chanting about that time. We felt that the freshmen had really come into their own as a definite part of school life when we were able to point to our class officers and freshman commission. Many claimed they didn ' t want to set the world on fire, but their actions belied their words when the doll show appeared. College may have a polishing and smoothing effect on young ladies, but Mary Washington doesn ' t sanction such until it has first been proven that these same young ladies are efficient younger ladies. First test: Kid Party. Second test; Doll Show. Did we pass? Guided by Y in the former and Freshman Com- mission in the latter, we passed with flying colors. No deficiencies there. Then came the Prom — and a freshman led the figure, too. Making another mark for the Class of ' 451 Naturally, exams and their sad partners were rearing their ugly heads during all this, but we don ' t talk about that. A lull held sway for a while, but the class came back to life with a vim. Freshman Carnival made history. That House of Horrors. Oh! The faculty beauty contest. Ah! Dr. Frick ' s kisses. O-o-o-o-o! And soon thereafter, the records of the first year of our class were closed. However, minus a few of our members, we have come triumphantly to and through a bigger and bet- ter second year. There was a little damp spell for a while — River Stay From My Door — but we got more mail as a result than we had for weeks, so It didn ' t bother us at all. Then there was the ques- tion of holidays vs. patriotism. We chose patriot- ism and soothed our spirits with frequent renditions of the White Christmas to come. Then there was the Sophomore Benefit and — but the Class of ' 45 is too big for mere words. You know it, and we know It. Need more be said?

If the rest of us had qualifying voices, we, too, would be among them for we do love our music. One needs only to be in a dormitory room some after- noon to prove that. From one vie turntable comes Rhapsody in Blue ; from another, There Are Such Things ; a radio will be sending forth Madame Butterfly. Yes, Mary Washington would be incom- plete without her music. The Choral Club plays an important part. Will we forget the beautiful program presented at Christ- mas which gave most of us our first taste of holiday spirit? Never! And will we remember their singing at the Bond Rally on Thanksgiving? Of course! Wasn ' t It an impetus toward our goal?

Everybody talks at once and everybody wants to play a different tune. When all squabbles are set- tled our harmonious maestro steps in. Keeping our music straight is our biggest problem. If you have Betty Jones Anne Holt Murden Stacia Douros Dorothy Griffin Ada Clements Barbara Pugh Deborah Goldstein ever been to one of our re- hearsals, you will know what I ' m talking about. One of the members, Jonesie ' by name, never can find any of her music. It IS every place, but the right place. Ask her! Generally speaking, everything goes very nicely. Give them a little time, and you will see the Jive Bugs of M.W.C. in the limelight. Better still, perhaps you ' ll soon see the rays of New York City focused on them. You can ' t stop me from dreaming! W. C. IS proud of Its symphony orchestra, and well she may be. Our orchestra, which gives so much of Its time so willingly for our pleasure, is a credit to the music department. Mention credit and then mention Mr. Faulkner, for he is the all-important director of the orchestra. From Its very infancy in the fall of 1937, it has been he who has sent the thermometer of interest sky- rocketing in the group of young, but active, mu- sicians. Now in its prime we know the orchestra as a strong institution that is still expanding into a well-balanced and wholesome organi::ation. Backed by the school, this group finds itself well supported both outside and within. Don ' t tell me you haven ' t noticed those beautiful new shiny bass horns and those classy blonde MELODY PERSONIFIED Mr. Ronald Faulkner, Conductor cellos ' The welcome ad- dition of this year ' s new instruments along with the increasing membership in the orchestra gives added proof that our symphony orchestra is making decided progress. Also duly recognised as a tribute is the fact that our symphony orchestra has always enjoyed a neces- sarily important part in our various school functions. Not only important, it is indispensable — how could May Day be a real May Day without our trusty tire- less musicians? And he ified be- tween the exciting acts presented by Mary Wash- ington Players without the comforting music inter- lude? Think back to those entertaining chapel and convocation programs.

It is upon this group and other groups like it that will fall the task and the privilege of directing the paths of thought for the coming generation of American citizens. Theirs is a responsible position, for it is they who will create bitterness or forgivingness. Public speaking takes on a new significance m 1943. When Pi Sigma Kappa members graduate from Mary Washington College and go on the Road of Life, alone and unaided, they vlll be expected to give their best to their country. They know this and are preparing for that time when their words will mean so much to humanity.

Then as sophomores we looked upon those juniors as perhaps not so lofty but still quite dignified. But here we are, feeling not at all elevated or sedate, but just a little older and maybe a little wiser. Three years together — each of which holds a wealth of memories but somehow this year seems to be the broadest. It is now that we have started to specialize in our chosen fields of work. This year we were eligible to take official active parts in extra-curricular activities. As evidence there is Joyce Davis, editor of The Bullet; Nancy Duval, editor of The Battlefield; Frances Tracy, Freshman Com- missioner; Virginia Morgan, house president of Mary Ball Hall; Dorothy Woodson, treasurer of Student Government, and Emmy Lou Kilby, our Student Government representative. Also the May Queen and maid-of-honor, Virginia Morgan and Dorothy Woodson respectively, are members of the Class of 1944. Remember the flood? Emmy Lou Kilby did a grand job as co-ordinator for the canteen work down- town; then there was Marjorie Hudson leading the cavalry troop in their work. Not only do the big things count but there are the himdred little things that compose such a large part of our store of incidents to be remembered: Bull sessions any time and all the time, dances that at last gave us a chance to float gracefully in formals down the lovely circular stairway in Mary Ball to meet our appreciative dates, Bertha MacPhail leading us through our inimitable fire drills, using our cooking skill to supplement those Sunday night bag suppers. Such are the memories of a junior today and to- morrow. 151 GERMAN CLUB OFFICERS Leah Fleet President Myran Russell Ten Eyck Vice-President Roberta Kingston Secretary Jane Bonney Treasurer Mrs. Brawner Boiling Sponsor MEMBERS Elizabeth Adair Nancy Aitcheson Grace Hamilton Bailey Grace Ball Ebon Bendroth Jane Bonney Julia Bridges Jean Brill Elizabeth Cloyd Brown Jane Brownley Carolyn Caverlee Catherine Chambliss Ava Clark Anne Boiling Clark Anne Colbert Hope Cosby Elizabeth Cox Sarah Dabbs Lois Dent Marilyn Dicken Jeanne Dupre Nancy Duval Leah Fleet Imogene Garrett Lindlay Goolrick Pauline Green Elizabeth Griggs Virginia Gunn Ann Harris Edith Hoffmann Jean Hopkins Joyce Hovey Elizabeth Hughes Betty Anne Huntington Frances Inglis Jane Jenks Jane Keefer Annie Kirk Kidd Roberta Kingston Doris Lanham Catherine Laushey Betty Lou Loftis Jean McPherrin Virginia Morgan Patricia Morris Elizabeth Owen Virginia Rubush Mary Kinsey Sampson Alma Schwarz Lilias Scott Martha Scott Betty Sharp Marjorie Smith Beulah Spain Myran Ten Eyck Susan Tillson Patricia Turley Marguerite Unruh Ann White Ebon Bendroth Prcsuiciit Peggy Pugh Secretary Joan Shafer Treasurer Elizabeth Winfree Scrgcant-at-Arms Mr. E.

What could be a more important aid in the war than taking care of our children and keeping their minds active?

THE MENDEL MUSEUM s - ' HI ' HiPWRECKED by the tempest of our time, I vas lucky to find a friendly harbor and to start a new life at Mary Washington College. Since I brought with me some valuable Mendel relics and had some knowledge of Gregor Mendel ' s life and of the work started by him, I welcomed the opportu- nity to build up a modest Mendel Museum at our college. The discoveries made by Mendel almost one hun- dred and eight years ago have become the basis of modern genetics. The corn preparations shown in the picture above, demonstrate Mendel ' s main idea: All organisms are composed of distinct characters. The genes, the carriers of these characters, are the atoms of the living. Mendelism is the atomic theory of the organic world. By Mendel ' s methods new and better races of cultivated plants and animals have been bred. The laws formed by Mendel by his peas have been ap- plied to human beings. Fantastic possibilities are expected by the followers of modern eugenics. But facing this marvelous development, we should not become immodest; we should not try to do what seems to be beyond the force of men. Mendel would be the first to remind us that no tree ever grew to heaven, that, as the Romans said, sunt certi denigue fines. Mendelism has its limits — and our little Mendel Museum, too. It is limited by my age and my strength; it is limited by the space and by the place. Mary Washington College is no university and no agricultural school. We have to face realities. But I still hope that even our small museum will not be quite without value for our students in particular, and perhaps for the students of genetics in general.

They ' re the ones who eat up literature — they loved Survey of English literature, ate up Victorian Poetry, and studied the Comedies and Tragedies of Shakespeare with pleasure! They never cut English class, they ' re invariably in the library or in Dr. Shankle ' s office, and they spend most of their time reading. Of course, most of them either flunk math, or just struggle through -with a D. But that ' s because one can ' t have a literary mind and a mathematical one too. They ' re the girls who love to write — they ' ll write anything at the drop of a hat — a term paper, a short story, a poem, a letter, an announcement — anything! They love to meet and discuss the merits of writers of yesterday and today. They might even venture sug- gestions on the writers of tomorrow. And certainly they ought to know about them, for they expect to be one themselves in a few years. They ' re the Modern Portias, the literary geniuses of the campus, the girls who will be publishing things soon while the rest of us say, We knew them when. ...

It ' s fall and the game is hockey. The fifteen cheers gather m velocity and rush to a high crescendo. It ' s still fall, but the game is tennis. The ball flies as fast as a beam of light, and agile creatures dance about the court to stop its progress only to send it flying back again. Hallowe ' en! A party at which there were living ghosts! Ducking for apples, and I do mean apples— and ducking! Fortune telling, and smiles and laugh- ter; fruits and candies, too, but goblins were loose and came running after! Rah! rah! rah!

Bravely the batter smacked the ball and sent it flying in the air, and then she flew, too — to the pool. A leap and a bound, the comfort- ing coolness of water, and we have satisfaction.

Stewart Sponsor BEAUTY, GRACE, AND POISE ' ay Day is the culmination of everything the dance clubs have practiced during the year. It is the high point of interest. Success or failure depends on the dance of this day. Hov ever, all Mary Wash- ington can reminisce with pride on the May Day of 1943. The colors, the costumes designed by Miss Stewart, the dances, the music — oh, the music, those beautiful melodies composed by our own Mr. Houston will be singing in our imaginations forevermore. The setting was as perfect as beautiful southern skies could make it. The green foliage made a natural canopy overhead and from it birds twittered their applause. A gentle breeze touched our faces and errant sunbeams kissed our hair. If we were charmed by our surroundings, we were entranced by the players of the May. Like the members of the court, we watched the gypsy band and wondered at their ability, their light-heartedness, and their carefree spirits. We felt tense the moment the gypsy, Rose- mary Fairbank, led Lilias Scott, the youngest daughter 172 of Duque Peggy Moran and Duquese Claire Moore, away. We wanted to cry to her, but dared not. We listened to the Glee Club, and our hearts sang. The return of the gypsy band sharpened our interest, and our pulse kept pace with the mystical, tempting La Zingara. Our hearts were with the jester, Doodle Thompkins, as well as our praises for his cleverness. The heightening interest in the dis- closure of the fraud, the dance, the music, the color, the day, even life itself roused us within and inspired us to shout, though silently, that we were glad to be alive. But, On with the dance Let joy be unconfined. We were thrilled with the grand finale and our spirits soared above the distant flaky clouds. Our steps led us away from the scene of the spectacle with enough pictures of beauty for our mental memory book for many a day. JUNIOR MODERN DANCE J. NE V. UGH.

Yes, they work while they play, and play while they work. These lassies think swimming is fun and with a great willingness they are giving their services as life- guards during recreational swimming hours. In being sponsors of the State and Southern Regional Tele- graphic Meets the aquabelles proved their right of that position by leading the competition. The club boasts much beauty of form — and not just in swim- ming! Until another club presents a little more brains, a little more brawn, and a little more beauty, these Mary Washington Terrapins will go unchal- lenged in the field of swimming. 174 So . . yen tliml you lmh inn, tli Well, (it ' s jiLst sec you try it!

Bobbie Kingston, Jane Brownley, and Kitty Avery worked away and were busy as could be — trying for perfection as anyone could see. The last hour drew nigh and around the workshop there should have been five; but Skipper Adair skipped out for a bite to eat, and we were only four! Frances Rice thumbed through the dummy checking and double-checking all plates. On the other side of the table Mary Ruth Carroll was cross- ing out words here and inserting words there until the copy looked much like a cross-word puzzle. It was Dons Lanham who displayed a spirit of insight in typing these off. Her typing played an accompani- ment for the buzz of activity.

This is a milestone on the four- year run Ah, for the majority of a senior L RECOLLECTIONS OF A SENIOR 1942-43 VusT a short ■while ago, or so it seems, we first entered Westmoreland Hall — seniors! It was September, 1942. Autumn, with all its colorful finery, danced about the campus, but it wasn ' t long before the dance was over, the colors faded until the first elevated feeling came with the wearing of the cap and gown. How proud we were! Within -what seemed a comparatively short time Ebony Esca- pades, the Senior Class Minstrel Show, put new life into the dull-routined atmosphere. Then came the long-awaited holiday season with thoughts of a White Christmas. Here the path diverged m all directions, but one theme was on the lips of all — There ' s no Place Like Home. It wasn ' t the same as other years. Loved ones, far away from the gayly trimmed Christmas tree, were singing peace on earth, good will toward men and praying for a peace and another Christmas when they, too, would be home. It wasn ' t long before the campus echoed again the laughter and happy greetings of returnmg students who soon adjusted to the change and were back to books and practice teaching. (We must never forget that — the unforgettable in the life of a senior. ) The campus had become a study in black and white; bar- ren trees were now outlined with crystal and the air was fresh and crisp. There was renewed deter- mination in Westmoreland Hall, as graduation ap- peared in the not-too-distant future. Graduation! The envy of the freshman and the regret of the senior. Spring! It was difficult not to foUovi the call of the blithe spirit, to dream, and to watch the un- folding of new beauty. In quiet loveliness the Queen of the May ascended her throne and all too soon descended it. The days went swiftly by, and the day drew nigh when friends must part. The Junior-Senior Prom held sway for only a few brief hours while exams filled the minds and conversations of all for a week. Neither time nor tide waits for any man, and soon came Senior Class Day, the Garden Party, the Baccalaureate Sermon and Graduation. It all hap- pened so suddenly and as suddenly was over; parting, with no definite certainty of meeting again; books dusted for a new future use and hurried packing; then the path diverged again and new battles were to be won.
