O ' CONOR GOOLRICK Former Senator from the State of Virginia In 1908 a bill was presented to the General Assembly of the Virginia Legislature for the establish- ment of one or more State normal and industrial schools for women. After a sharp fight among numer- ous cities and towns over the location of the school, Fredericksburg, through the staunch advocacy of Senator Goolrick, was selected as the site for one, and its establishment was provided in the general appropriation bill approved March 14, Acts of Assembly, 1908. This school is now Mary Washington College of the University of Virginia. A HISTORY OF JMary Washington Ollegtj of the University of Virginia By C. O ' CONOR GOOLRICK fCCORDING both to history and tradition, this beautiful college, founded in Nineteen Hundred and Eight, occupies the ground upon which three hundred years before Captain John Smith discovered a village of the Seacobeck Indians and despite the difficulties attendant thereon engaged in friendly barter with their chief. This historic visit of the great English explorer to the then friendly Indian occupants of the village is recorded on an engraved cop- per plate which the visitor will note on the wall of Seacobeck Hall. Despite the lapse of all these years there may at times be unearthed in the grounds of the college mementoes of its aboriginal owners, consisting of exquisitely carved arrow-heads of crystal formation and even an occasional tommy-hawk, these furnishings proof of the fact that the Indian villagers were not only traders but warriors. Time passed and as civilization advanced the town of Fredericksburg was established on the banks of the Rap- pahannock River, which derives its picturesque name from the Indian language. Later, as the town grew. Betty Washington Lewis, daughter of Mary Washing- ton, became the mistress of what is now one of Virginia ' s historic shrines, in close proximity to and in view of the college. General Washington was a frequent guest in the home of his sister and doubtless in his ramblings often looked down on the little Colonial town from the heights on which the College stands. The War of the Revolution touched Fredericksburg lightly but the town was yet to experience the full fury of the warfare, and this came with the conflict between the States. Again history attaches itself to these grounds. At break of day on December 13, i86x, might have been found here, as General Lee extended his lines north from historic Marye ' s Heights, Confederate infantry and artillerymen, calmly awaiting the gallant attack of General Bumside ' s Union brigades. When evening came at long last, the battle of Fredericksburg was ended; the guns were silent and only the challenge of the sentries and the cries of the wounded disturbed the stillness of the night. The stars looked down upon a battlefield where the tragedy of warfare was made glorious by the HISTORY OF MARY WASHINGTON COLLEGE sublime valor of the American soldier. In spite of the lapse of so many years since Confederate guns found lodgement on these hills the interested visitor will be shown reminders of the day ' s grim conflict in well-preserved gun pits and artillery emplacements within the college grounds. Prior to the year 1908, it was generally recognized throughout the Commonwealth of Virginia, that more adequate facilities should be afforded for the training of badly needed teachers in our public schools. At that time, the only institution devoted exclusively to this purpose was the Normal School for Women at Farmville, and while this institution was doing fine work its facilities were inadequate to meet the growing needs of the com- mon schools. This fact was well-known to the General Assembly and when it became apparent that one or more ad- ditional schools would have to be created, a number of cities and towns became contenders for the location of such school or schools as the General As- sembly might determine upon. A sharp though friendly con- test ensued during the session of 1908 in the course of which all of these, with the excep- tion of Harrisonburg and Fred- ericksburg, were eliminated, leaving the two latter to battle it out for the coveted honor. There followed a fight which will long be remembered in Virginia legislative history in which Harrisonburg was se- lected by the Senate, only to have Fredericksburg chosen by the House. A dead lock resulted, which threatened the defeat of both bills, but last minute legislative strategy saved the situation and by a combination of forces representatives of the two cities in the assembly, with the assistance of the late Governor Claude A. Swanson, succeeded in attaching the respective bills as amendments to the gen- eral appropriation act of that session. Since the General Assembly had only planned to es- tablish one school it was unprepared for two and strong opposition at once developed to the passage of the bill with the proposed amendments. The strength of this opposition is evidenced by the fact that the bill was finally approved by the closest possible Constitutional margins in both House and Senate, but by this vote these two splendid schools came into being and have, in the course of years, proven invaluable to the Commonwealth in the work which they were directed to perform. The appropriation for the new school at Fredericks- burg, provided by the bill for the two years of the bi- ennium was very small and even though supplemented by an additional amount, which the city of Fredericks- burg had pledged, was insufficient to warrant an immedi- ate building program so that the Board of Trustees, appointed by the Governor to manage the affairs of the new institution, necessarily confined itself, for the time being, to the selection of a suitable site. Immediately, as might have been expected, a division of opinion arose among members of the Board as to this site, which finally resolved itself into a choice between flat land adjoining the city on the northwest, and the high ground west of the city upon which the college now stands. Members advocating the for- mer, based their argument on the fact that the cost would be much less. Those advocating the latter, while admitting the force of this argument, em- phasized the necessity of secur- ing a site which would lend beauty and dignity to the new institution, even at greater initial cost. The contention within the Board, becoming acute, and no decision having been reached, certain citizens of Fredericks- burg interested themselves in the selection and successfully urged upon the Board choice of the present site. The wisdom which dictated the final action of the Board was subse- quently to be attested by the report of a legislative com- mittee made in 193 1, which will be later referred to. The site having been finally selected and additional appropriations made available by the General Assembly of 1910, construction was at last begun and one building, Frances Willard Hall, completed in time to permit the school to open its doors to students in September, 191 1. One may well imagine the difiicidties which con- fronted the infant school with the concentration under a single roof of administration, instructional and student life activities. Warrant for the decision to open the doors of the institution was found, however, in the vital need for teacher training and the immediate necessity of offer- ing enlarged educational facilities to the Tidewater area cast of Fredericksburg, particularly that portion known HISTORY OF MARY WASHINGTON COLLEGE as the Rappahannock Valley. The session began with a small faculty and one hundred and twenty-five students, not one of whom it is believed was a high school gradu- ate. In the comparatively brief space of thirty-three years, the student body was to reach a total of more than two thousand students. This rapid growth constitutes a high tribute to the efficiency of both administration and faculty during a period when many serious handi- caps had to be overcome. Gradually, as additional appropriations were made available by the General Assembly, t he physical plant was enlarged by the construction of new buildings and the installation of much needed equipment while at the same time the school was enjoying a steady increase in attendance. Within five years from the initial session, industrial training was abandoned and the institution began conferring standard degrees on its graduates. In the meantime the faculty was growing in size and impor- tance, and the school itself assuming a new dignity, which required the first change in its name, so at the legislative session of 1914, it became the ' ' State Teachers College at Fredericksburg. Eleven years later the Col- lege had gained the much-coveted privilege of granting degrees in liberal arts. That the teachers colleges, though youthful, with the exception of Farmville, were meeting expectations may be gathered from the report of Dr. M. V. O ' Shea, direc- tor of the survey of the public educational system of the Commonwealth, to the Educational Commission of Virginia in 1918, wherein he said, The best of these teachers colleges are better than the average college, and the poorest of them is better than many private and denominational colleges in Virginia and elsewhere. ' ' While the school at Fredericksburg was experiencing growing pains, an influential body of women in the State were insistently demanding at each recurring session of the General Assembly the establishment of a liberal arts college for women, co-ordinate with and located at the University of Virginia. Their demand for such a college was generally concurred in but their insistence that it be situated at Charlottesville stirred up a storm of con- troversy which was to rage for many years, and which has but now been happily ended by Act of the General Assembly of Nineteen Hundred and Forty-Four. Against the demands of the women who led the fight for the establishment of the college at the University, was opposed the overwhelming sentiment of the Alumni and the student body, who had always regarded Jeffer- son ' s great institution as one exclusively for men. This opposition made itself felt at each session of the As- sembly and was potent enough to defeat repeated at- tempts to secure approval of the plan by either house. The matter thus rested until the session of 1918, when a commission was appointed to study the entire problem, including that of the location of the proposed college. This Commission reported to the session of 1930, as follows: I . ' ' That a liberal arts college exclusively for women should be established and supported by the State of Virginia. 2.. That said college should be co-equal with the Col- lege of Arts and Sciences at the University of Vir- ginia, and should be co-ordinate with the Uni- versity as an integral part thereof. 3. That it should be located at or near Roanoke, Lynchburg, Harrisonburg, or Fredericksburg. 10 HISTORY OF MARY WASHINGTON COLLEGE The Assembly of that year, following suggestions of the Commission that it be continued, so directed, and two years later a majority of its personnel united in a second report recommending that the State Teachers College at Fredericksburg be selected for the establish- ment of the Liberal Arts College for Women, co-ordinate with the University of Virginia. Space does not permit reproduction here of all of the reasons assigned by the Commission for its selection, but it is interesting to note an extract from its report, as follows : ' ' The Commission does not, however, rest its judgment merely upon negative or comparative considerations. There are many affirmative and positive reasons of weight and substance that commend the Fredericksburg site. It is one of natural beauty and dignity upon the historic Marye ' s Heights overlooking Fredericksburg, a city redolent of associations, reaching back to early colonial days. Few localities in Virginia or in America exhibit such a collection of examples of colonial and early national domestic architecture as are to be found in the city and its environs. Approximately half-way between the capitals of the Nation and the State, with admirable transportation service between them by rail and highway, Fredericksburg is readily accessible to them both and it is coimected by excellent roads with all sections of Virginia. The site comprises seventy-five acres. The main col- lege group is on three sides of a quadrangle and opposite the central building is the most modem college dining hall in Virginia. The present buildings of red brick and white facing and columns, possess the simplicity and dignity which is characteristic of Virginia educational institutions. In planning for the future architectural development of the college, the existing group of build- ings might be retained intact as the residential quad- rangle, and another group of academic buildings, in- cluding the library, science hall and administration buildings might gradually be added as the dominant quadrangle. The value of the college at Fredericksburg is greatly enhanced by the beauty of its nautral setting in a grove of approximately twelve acres. With a little money and landscape planning there is ample opportunity for de- veloping the esthetic features of the grounds in a maimer that will be distinctive among the Virginia colleges. In spite of the two reports cited, the matter remained in abeyance and the college at Fredericksburg continued its way alone, rapidly increasing in strength and prestige as a result of progressive administration, improved student body and the addition of many new and beauti- ful buildings. Once again the College was to experience a change in name, this time for all time it was to become the Mary Washington College. By Act of the General Assembly of 1938, this name, happily suggested and historically appropriate, was bestowed upon the institution in honor of the mother of Washington, whose life was so closely woven in the fabric of Fredericksburg. The movement to establish a co-ordinate college for 11 HISTORY OF MARY WASHINGTON COLLEGE women finally became more or less dormant but was suddenly revived in 1943 by Governor Colgate W. Darden, Jr., who, pending the Nineteen Hundred and Forty-Four session of the General Assembly, appointed a Commission to study the proposed consolidation of Mary Washington College with the University of Vir- ginia. This Commission, which included the presidents of both institutions, the Superintendent of Public In- struction and other citizens formulated a report which was delivered to the Governor in December, Nineteen Hundred and Forty-Three, which contained the follow- ing recommendation : That the Mary Washington College be placed under the direction and control of the University Board and that within a period of four years the institution be con- verted into a College of Arts and Sciences on a par with the College of Arts and Sciences for men at the Uni- versity, with the same standards of admission and gradu- ation, and comparable instructional, library, and labora- ory facilities. The institution to be known as the Mary Washington College of the University of Virginia. This report was transmitted by the Governor to the General Assembly and a bill promptly introduced carry- ing the recommendation into effect. This bill passed both branches of the Assembly, with little or no opposi- tion, and was approved by the Governor in February, Nineteen Hundred and Forty-Four. By its provisions the College thus becomes an integral part of the Uni- versity and except for the fact that it is located at Fred- ericksburg, rather than at the University, the desire of the women of Virginia for co-ordination has been at last met. While the Sage of Monticello perhaps did not contem- plate the inclusion of women among the students of the University yet, if he were living today, one might assert without fear of contradiction that he would approve this act of manifest justice to the young women of the Commonwealth and would be the first to extend to them a warm welcome to the institution of which he was the Father and of which he was so justly proud.

We do not believe that we shall leave this place of our giving and taking — this place of our belonging and possessing. We believe that a part of our- selves will remain, and will not wander. Still, we have had our share of all that is here; we have met our challenge, and so must find yet another larger one; we have built a well of strength, and so must stand strong and invulnerable. But now — and in a last hour before departure — there is a time to say what has long been unspoken, to pronounce what has been only in the deep recesses of our thought. These are the things that we have known and have not uttered — the things that will endure and will not pass into nothingness — the things that we have done, and have scarcely recognized in the doing. We have entered through an iron gate at the bottom of a hill (how many swift-flying years have run their course since the day of arrival? Four by the calendar — but it does not matter), and have reached that hill which is steep in the climbing, and have measured a fragment of life from its height. We have seen a wide expanse of sky from where we stood. We have walked these familiar paths until our step is sure and steady; we have watched the darkening shadows play upon the earth at evening, and have felt the immense stillness that is security against harshness and change; we have heard the harmony and the discord of music in the rising of a winter wind and in the voices of people. We have had a great com- panionship and a great loneliness; we have looked into the face of beauty, and have felt the ache that comes of beauty too intense. We have had all this — and more. And having shared so much of joy — of sing- ing and of laughing, and so much of sadness, of fear and of comfort, we know that we shall return here again and again. We know above all else that, for us, there is no Farewell. Mary Annette Klinesmith Class Historian 59 CLASS HISTORY SYMBOLIC THIS RING IS A SYMBOL. To its wearer it is a token of three happy years filled with poignant memories and a promise of what is to come. It is a priceless possession surrounded by an aura of everything that is meaningful in a college girl ' s life. In the span of human existence three years is an infinitesimal period. As juniors we have packed those years with unforgettable mo- ments — our gay Freshman Carnival, Little Old New York, and finally the Beauty Con- test. It is pleasing to look back on the things we have done as a group, but it is pleasing, too, to remember the little things — spending Sat- urday afternoon in Pitts ' Victoria; eating lunch in the C Shoppe; swishing down the aisle at formal lyceums; buying stamps, donating blood, and trying to do our small part; polish- ing the apple vigorously on Faculty Day; get- ting ready for dances and week-ends; out- Deviling the Goats on those momentous days; romping at the Kid Party; cramming for exams ! This ring is a symbol. To a junior it is much more than a symbol of achievement; a job well done. It is a cornerstone on which to begin to build a new life. A junior must look ahead. Remembering is the privilege of a senior. When first we glimpsed the beauties of Mary Wash- ington, we set a goal for ourselves. As our affection for our college grew, we took steps toward that goal. Next year, our last, we shall wear this ring as the fulfillment of our goal. Only then may we pause and recall all those things with which we associate some of the happiest days ever. FOOTHOLD 0!AJ THE LADDER June 1944, and you have just finished your sophomore year at Mary Washington College. The halfway mark between you and a degree. A sure foothold on the ladder of higher learn- ing. June 1944 and America is still at war, but the horizon looms brighter on the far-flung battlefronts, far brighter than when you en- tered as a freshman. That was September 1941, remember? There were those first few hectic days, then those seemingly few short weeks of the fall with a cancelled Thanksgiving vaca- tion because of wartime restriction of travel. You hummed White Christmas and dreamed 60 CLASS HISTORY of a glorious three-week vacation — compen- sation for no Thanksgiving. A wartime C hristmas — and the dim-outs and blackouts and your showing your friends the small dry puncture where the American Red Cross had taken the blood. Christmas is Christmas and tho ' there was darkness in the streets, not a minute of it was in the people. Returning in January, you worked with added zest, participated in Y ' s A ' Poppin, attended the Y teas, and made bandages in Willard basement. You had put your foot into college life here, and it had held — you felt you belonged. Summer 1943, and the United Nations opened a second front. You worked harder at your wartime job, scarcely having time to inform your roommate of your romances — via the U. S. Mail. September rolled around at last and back to school you came, riding the rails on over- crowded trains. Fredericksburg and school and so much fun to renew old acquaintances, and find out what happened to whom. New and interesting courses, and the joy of being a superior sophomore. Meanwhile, the Allies forged ahead in Italy, and through bitter bloodshed the Russians were slowly regaining conquered territory. College women were called on to help, and you did your part in the name of M. W. C. by tirelessly weilding a can opener for the tin salvage, collecting used stamps, conserving paper, buying defense stamps and faithfully writing those letters. Navy blues and It ' s Always You on the vie in the C Shoppe reminded you of a certain someone who finally did unexpectedly arrive on campus. That was a day! A certain booth in the C Shoppe, a certain corner in Virginia Hall parlor and too soon — goodbye. Then, Thanksgiving vacation, peanut week, exams, and a third wartime Christmas. Though shortages became worse and restrictions in- creased, the lights were on again in many cities and it was definitely a br ighter Christmas. In January 1944 you were a busy woman with a sophomore convocation program to take part in and a sophomore benefit to be staged. Winter quarter was a busy time, and when the March winds ushered in a welcome spring, you were glad. The campus blossomed into a Sherwood wonderland once more, its glens and flowering dogwood making a per- fect setting for May Day. An added attraction was the homecoming of recent graduates and classmates. Now, only a few short weeks of your pre- cious sophomore year left. Only a few short weeks left, but you realize that it is just that much closer to an Allied Victory and peace. You will work harder to help bring that peace sooner because you realize that you were for- tunate to be on a college campus these two years, studying, learning, enjoying and living a pleasant life. Yes, you will always remember your first two years at Mary Washington Col- lege while America waged a second World War. 61 CLASS HISTORY THE FI ST OF FOU There is one thrill that is free to every fresh- man that enters M. W. C. It is fleeting, but precious — the fun of knowing a few more hun- dred people. Our class was seven hundred strong, but our strength in spirit grew far above our number. Remember the first week? We were duly- awed by the beauty of the campus, inspired by the addresses of the leaders of the school, rushed to keep up with meetings, and fright- ened and eager, illogically, at the same time. Remember the Kid Party? We thought we were so old (after all we were in college) and suddenly we found ourselves without ever- helping make-up, clothed in tiny skirts, and despite the indignity, having a wonderful time. Remember the Doll Show? After all, the secret meetings and ideas hard at work, we found that it could be done. That was before exams and Christmas why must the two be thought of inseparately? Merely because one follows the other? Since our Christmas memories differed for each one of us, and our thoughts about those exams aren ' t meant for print, let ' s remember instead the rest of the year — the German and Cotil- lion bids, the almost date-less dances, the Beauty Contest, and the Prom. Let ' s remember spring as only a spring of M. W. C. can be. The picnics at Hazel Run, biology field trips, the grueling hot hours we spent on the sun roof and, as a climax to a wonderful year — the festive spirit and haunt- ing beauty of May Day. Then when we have remembered, let ' s none of us forget our year or our class of nineteen hundred and forty-seven. 62 SE IO CLASS OFFICERS Bertha McPhail President Mary Ellen Glascock Vice-President Martha Tilden Secretary Nettie Evans Treasurer Mary Annette Klinesmith Historian Mrs. Estelle Derryberry Sponsor 63 QHRISTIH LAVONNS COWARD VIRGINIA ROSS SAMU8LS SE7 II0% CLASS ' JOYCS L0UIS6 cpAYNS jA.V jRt - ' tTT WIXSTON 64 8LEAB8TH QUMBY KATHL88N HALL6TT gOFFigON JAYNS AHDmSOH SE? iIO CLASS FRAHC S VOTEY SRACY 65 SE?iIO% CLASS R£BA £LIZAB£TH SAMU6LS RUTH NAOMI W STCOTT miD LAIN H ATL8Y £LIZAB£TH 31AY£R LAUT£NSCHLAg£R 66 SE IO ' CLASS (2HRISTIH6 JAAS, VASSAR GDORIS L88 SHUFFLSBARgSR gTHSL yiA ROUH jsan: viRgiNiA gdcshazo 67 R0B8RTA KIHQSTOH ATRICIA yOMASlHA yiORRlS CLAIRE, AHH CRAY JAN£ T-HYLLIS mROWNl Y SET JOX CLASS 68 SE?iIO CLASS H£L£N JAARTHA VSST (DOROTHY JSAN ORAKS HeNRI£-TTA HARRIST HOYLMAN GMILY SDWARDS JONSS 69 AMY RUTH SAMLISL VIRgi A NOSL RUBUSH SE?{JO% CLASS HAHCY GDAR£ AlTCmSOH JAARY HOUSTON ' DOSWELL SE7 [J0% CLASS NATHALI6 FRANC8S 7]AILMAH yiARY SM Um HALL VIRgiNIA FAY -TL1MPHR8Y RAB£LIA yiAe, (3HARL S 71 -:B6VeRLY JAUHH RLITH-gR£Y --BRAINARD JAUm l CLSMSNTS SE ' [JO% CLASS -BSTTYg WALLAC8 (=OCHRAN SET IOTi CLASS FRANCSS 5BARHAM FARR8LL yiARY g£N£VI£V£ gRIFFIN MARNY gRSSHAM WATKINS 5MARY CAROLYN WATTS 7s— 7 1 A , i xT.. ..

After just leaving ones home, Cornell is a haven for freshmen to come to; its size and compactness lends the dorm to the surroundings of one happy family. During the day and early evening the dorm is strangely silent because of classes on the Hill but, ten fifteen means more to these girls than the end of study hour — it means the beginning of things; girls getting together in their rooms to talk over their latest doings, girls in the rumpus room in the basement playing table tennis and perhaps (if food is on hand) girls in the kitchen having one last snack before bed. The girls on the Hill are proud of Cornell and its achievements. By the way, it ' s the only dorm that can boast of a man as a full-time tenant. 164 ORGANIZATIONS 0%GA7 IZATI0 l S JD prepare the student for life in a democracy and to make her increasingly self-directed and cooperative are the chief purposes of extra-curricula activities. These activities provide a flawless complement to classroom instruction and their benefits provide for some of the most valuable lessons in life. The participant in extra-curricula activities gains not only mentally and creatively but politically and socially. The lessons taught in self-government are instrumental in formulating the thoughts and actions of a truly educated American. In the social world the student acquires an ability of meeting and conversing with others in an easy and poised manner. The learned faculty of coopera- tion leads to the encouragement of thinking and leading. When the advantages of extra-curricula activities are totaled the sum can be viewed as the true symbol of a student ' s life outside the classroom. 165 ORGANIZATIONS STUDE: J gOVE%NME:NiT SSOCIATIOJ Student Government is by far the largest organization on the hill, for its membership is extended to every student registered at the college, and its leaders are representatives of the student body. Far from being exclusively judicial, Student Government has given us the Honor System — a way of living that is fair to all because we live under laws that apply to all. Student Government is not an end in itself — even though it has taken many years to build. It is, rather, a beginning towards the creating of faultless characters, not by punishment alone, but by making every individual respon- sible primarily to himself. The more we par- ticipate in this government the more we find that we must be honest with ourselves, and so, cannot be dishonest with others. Student Government is a growing thing — ■ it means more than the show of wealth, or brains, or power. It is our practice in learning the ways of democracy; it is a trust that has been handed down to us in the faith that we will hold its standards, raise its value, and pass it on to those who follow us. Student Govern- ment is important, for now more than ever before we must learn well how to judge others, and what is even more necessary to judge our- selves. If we can learn to do that fairly, hon- estly, democratically, honorably — we need not fear what is to come, nor lack faith in our ability to go on doing our best in an unsettled world. rouj proME: Cs CHTiJSTIA3 SS0CIATI0:Ni The Young Women ' s Christian Association — to us it ' s just plain Y. Tying in with every worthwhile phase of college years, strengthening friendships, broad- ening horizons, deepening spiritual lives, Y leads ever on. Girls in white represent all the things Y is. We know them, too, in skirts and sweaters, in jaunty jackets, or in cap and gown. But they were, and will be, girls in white, smiling and greeting, asking and answering, very willing, and very much at home in that will- ingness. Y is at its social best in a party for Fresh- men, in a boisterous, carefree Kid Party, in a lighthearted benefit, in a Sunday afternoon tea with soft music and soft voices and soft laugh- ter in genial fellowship, and, with carols of Christmas in every heart, in the fun and gay unselfishness of having a peanut — and a shell. Y at its mental best brings a challenge to knowledge of the world, to consciousness of the tremendous pressures and the unparalleled opportunities of our day, and to true, sympa- thetic, and intelligent participation in that world, no farther away than the next desk, same row. 166 ORGANIZATIONS Y as a spiritual superiadve reflects the very best in every life it touches. In quiet moments, at a devotional hour, as heads and hearts are bowed in a prayer for peace, as a man of God speaks of a Man of Galilee, in the muted reverence of an early morning w atch, again and again there is time for peace and hope and calm assurance that for a confused mind there is an answer, and for a confused world, a Way. SE: CI0R ND F%ESHMA!Ni, COMMISSIOJ Yes, here ' s my bag — here, Janie, give your big one to her too. Isn ' t it nice the way these girls in white meet the train? They ' re better than a porter! So a senior commissioner makes the acquaintance of prospective Mary Washington freshmen. Or maybe it is this way : ' ' Could I ask you a question please? I was told to tell any girl in white my problem and she ' d help me out. Gosh, I ' m in a four girl room in Willard. How can I move out or do something about it — four — oh! gee. To this : ' ' Oh you stay in there for a week — I promise you you ' ll love it by that time — just try it. It will all work out. Sure, at first such things as drawer space and closet space are going to worry you. What if one of your new roommates did bring enough clothes to fill all the available space, maybe she will decide she doesn ' t need it all and express some of it home. Honestly, you ' ll get used to it. So another senior commissioner meets a Mary Washington freshmen. These and similar incidents comprise the work of the first days for the Senior Commission. Then come the activity groups which seek to serve as an outlet for that always potential abundant freshman energy. The Freshman Commission is elected — one representative from every activity group I The first project was the traditional Doll Show which in keeping with the tone of the times, was an international doll show with every rag doll designed and dressed to represent one of the nations of the world. By working together in these groups, as- suming responsibility, cooperating to ac- complish whatever project is undertaken, the freshmen are being trained to become more understanding and active members of Y when they are upper classmen. LPHA THI SigMA We, of Alpha Phi Sigma, bear an academic title. We are National, but we desire a per- spective that knows no physical boundary; we are Honorary, but we have discovered that there is a personal honor which is greater by far; we are Scholastic, but we recognize that knowledge of itself is not enough, and is too often idle. 167 ORGANIZATIONS We are not content with being National, Honorary, and Scholastic; rather would we be called seekers after those indefinable qualities which are all-universal and all-unnamed. We have a way of life, a way of thought, and a creed. We believe that there is something more durable and abiding than the outward form of things; that there is a quiet grace and an un- sung beauty in the sharing of experience; that there is a gentle warmth in human understand- ing; and that the human mind can rise to heights unmeasured. We have our dreams, and our reality — and a proportion for both, which is a part of wisdom. LPHA TSI OMEgA Symbolic of the most mature and ambitious effort in college dramatics, is the Alpha Psi Omega, an honor society intended as a reward for achievement in all phases of theatre arts. Membership in Alpha Psi Omega comes from excellence in service as actors, scene designers, technicians and others that aid in production. Our chapter, the Eta Eta Cast, is unusual in that the great majority of members have won recognition as backstage workers rather than as actors. Through the medium of Alpha Psi Omega dramatic functions have been furthered at the college. i:NiTE%NATIO:NiAL %ELATIOV CLUB Organized in 1930, the International Re- lations Club of Mary Washington College was one of the first clubs of its kind in Virginia. Now more than twenty-five such clubs exist in other colleges and universities of the state. It is composed of majors and minors in the field of social sciences and those students who manifest a keen interest in world affairs. Some of the major projects undertaken by the local club during its short history include the sponsorship of an annual Institute on World Affairs held at Mary Washington Col- lege, the giving of regular weekly radio pro- grams during most of two college sessions; the conducting of World Government Day pro- grams and Goodwill Day programs. In spon- soring chapel and convocation programs, the club has brought many outstanding educators, college presidents, noted religious leaders, political leaders, and economists to address the student body. Its members have conducted round table discussions and presented programs on world affairs before the civic clubs and other organizations of Fredericksburg and in the high schools of this part of the state. Repre- sentatives have been sent to the state and South-wide conferences of International Re- lations Clubs. Now, more than ever, the club takes a 168 ORGANIZATIONS prominent part in the list of extra-curricular activities. What the club may mean to the future we have no way of knowing, but we do know that each of its members shall contribute the best she has toward the realization of the high purpose of International Relations Club. That purpose as expressed in the words of President Nickolas Murray Butler is: to in- struct and enlighten public opinion ... to fix attention on those underlying principles of international conduct, of international law, and of international organization which must be agreed upon and put into action if a peaceful civilization is to continue. HOME ECOU MICS CLUB The deft wielding of a pastry tube is one thing, turning out a pert cotton pinafore or perhaps a gown as sophisticated as Fifth Ave- nue is quite another — we of the Home Eco- nomics Club are proud to count achievements such as these among our talents. Our group, a member of the American Home Economics Association is comprised of seventy- five girls, some of whom find their major inter- est in the vital field of nutrition and dietetics, others of whom tend toward the educational aspects and are preparing for teaching careers. Meetings have been highlighted by programs presented by professional women in the Home Economics world. As for our projects, we can all testify to the fact that we have encountered some entirely new problems in the way of dis- covering the intricacies of ration points and substitutes, in our capacity as caterer for faculty and student organizations. Today in a world at war, we are aware more than ever of the great challenge with which we are faced. Equipped with a growing knowl- edge of the science of nutrition, the proper methods of such things as child care or com- munity feeding, and the how ' s of conservation and economy, we are ready to meet that chal- lenge. SCIEJ E CLUB The science majors at Mary Washington College have open to them a vast field. A field which includes many different branches in much is known but in which there is much more to be learned and discovered. What could be more interesting, more fascinating; espe- cially in view of the fact that in our much talked about post-war world, science will lead the way. The Science Club was organized to provide these science majors and minors with an op- portunity to meet and become acquainted and to further their interest in different branches of science through lectures and meetings. It not only fosters the science element, but the social as well. In addition, the club takes an active part in campus activities this year hav- ing had charge of the collection of tin, one of the most important campus drives. The Science Club is definitely an essential club on the Mary Washington College campus and although it has had an interesting past, we believe it has a much more interesting and spectacular future. iMODEI N TOTiJIAS Modern Portias they are called — gals with a yen for things literary and an eye to the future, in the light of deep and substantial 169 ORGANIZATIONS values. Named for an indomitable progenitor of the theory that woman has a place in the sun, they seek a broad knowledge of real lit- erature; yet in the midst of that quest they remember that Modern Portias, twentieth- century women of ability and courage and calm, unbiased minds, have a place to fill that no others can occupy. And so they study and share, looking back- ward to a day quite long past, yet somehow surprisingly modern, looking around upon a peculiar, chaotic, intense world, looking for- ward, determined that in their lives and in the lives of those whom they may influence there shall endure a secure admiration for the classics of literature and the classics of living. Upperclassmen all, and English enthusiasts all, they enjoy the knowledge that they are looking into a world that is of unending inter- est and unending value — a world that others too often fail to appreciate. To them it presents a challenge. But each Modern Portia will step forward to meet it — for hers is a spirit not unlike that of her name- sake. She will accept the challenge and prom- ise herself that, at least, Today is mine. The pride and joy of the Greek and Latin classes, the Athenaeum, welcomes into its group students of Latin or Greek who are eager to help keep alive the fire and romance that can be found day by day in these two great languages. When in the room in Trinkle Library one kneels, repeats the motto, Ad superos, and becomes an Athenaeum member, she looks ahead to the future; a future when she will be a more refined person because she learned a subject that has no immediate utility, but pre- pares her for a higher goal. This organization keeps the interest of its members high by the programs of activities it has during the year. Teas are given each year quite often for each person to meet and know the other members of her club. This year news- papers have been collected from each dormitory, sold, and the money given to the Red Cross. We need only look at the lovely Greek and Roman murals in the meeting place of the Athenaeum to realize that the past is not dead, that its beauty is glowing with life. RT CLUB Ours is a precious charge this year — this year more than ever before in the history of the world. For we are, in a way, Keepers of the Flame, too. Keepers of the flame that is the spirit of Art. Today, in a world torn and distraught by the forces of hate and evil and ugliness, Beauty is a thing too easily forgotten, and we who love it have rededicated ourselves in a pledge to keep this flame burning brightly. From the earliest time of Man there has existed a desire to create Beauty in some form. Prehistoric man made crude drawings on the wall of his cave — the rough beginnings of painting, or if you wish, frescoes and murals. Later Man shaped a rude semblance of himself, or the animals with which he came into con- tact — the beginning of Sculpture. The first dwellings were purely functional, for the pur- pose of shelter. But soon the urge for orna- mentation and the desire for the organization of a definite form and pattern brought the beginnings of Architecture. 170 ORGANIZATIONS And this urge, this drive for self-expression, was in all peoples of all parts of the world — fundamental, basic in expression. Gradually, however, as Man added to what Man knew and kept this knowledge and passed it on to those who came after him, rules and principles were developed. These, in conjunction with the mysterious creative force with which some men are endowed produced the great master- pieces that are the heritage of civilization . . . the glowing colours of the Italian masters — Titian — Tintoretto — Raphael. . . . The classic refinement and simplicity of fourth-century Greek sculpture and Architecture . . . the con- crete hymns to God that are the great Gothic churches and cathedrals — Rheims — Chartre — Notre Dame de Paris . . . the sombre richness of a Rembrandt canvas . . . these are memories to transmit to those who come after us. All truly great art has something in com- mon, from the Old Masters and the classic tradition to the contemporary artists of our own day who are striving to express to their own way the old, old song of the world and of Man — self-expression. It has been truly said that there is nothing new under the sun, and this is so in Art as in other things. There is nothing new . . . there are only new ways to express the old message, the old beliefs. This, then, is our flame, to hold and to cher- ish for those who are to come, in the hope that they, if not we, may perhaps produce some- thing that will be a contribution to the annals of Civilization and of Art itself. Works to rank with the masterpieces of all time, names to ring down the coming centuries as those of Michaelangelo, Phidias, Degas, Renoir, Da Vinci, Cezanne and the host of immortals have rung down centuries that have passed. And we shall keep our Flame, and we shall keep it well. LE CE%CLE FT(ANCAIS Just as France has had an active and promi- nent place in the history of great nations, so, its customs, traditions, and contributions to the world hold a prominent place among the campus organizations at Mary Washington. The French people are renowned for their gaiety, their accomplishments in the cultural world, and their love of entertainment. Le Cercle Frangais recognizes the unique qualities of this truly colorful country and is eager to maintain its charming characteristics. An indelible impression of Le Cercle Fran- gais might be made upon the stranger who chanced to witness a tea at the sponsor ' s home. This impression would be one of tea cups and pleasant conversation, of French music and its shared appreciation. Every Frenchman loves music — and so do we. Dr. Stansbury ' s music will never be for- gotten nor will the Christmas songs that we sang in December. We play French games, read French books, and — we speak French ! Because of a study of these and other insti- tutions that typify the true France, and an appreciation of her undying spirit, each of us believes with a firm devotion that, There ' ll always be a France! ESPA NiA- MERICA hCA CLUB The hatmting music and the fascinating rhythms of a Spanish bolero; dancers slowly circling the floor while feet and shoulders 171 ORGANIZATIONS answer the rhythmical beat of the maracas. Flowers and fiesta finery gleam in a setting like old Spain. A gay cabellero in dashing garb, a dark eyed beauty with a flowing black lace mantilla and in the distance, the soft lilting strains of Cuando Se Quiere De Veras. It is the operetta, Cielo Lindo the masterpiece and production of the Espana- Americana Club. Though only a year old, this club has risen to become an outstanding organization on campus. Composed of past and present Spanish students, the club has as its purpose; to under- stand the language, the customs, the people and in so doing, to further and promote good- will in Spanish- American relations. It has taken an active part in campus activities by helping the war effort and it has striven to achieve its purpose by presenting to the student body, in the way of an operetta, a bit of the beauty of the Spanish and Latin-American countries. Espana-Americana has proved itself a vital part of our campus activities and de- serves recognition as one of Mary Washington College ' s most prominent clubs. Si, si, senors and senoritas? Si, Si. LUM:NiAE T AUgHTE%S Yes, we ' re the Alumnae Daughters — brand new — have just had our first birthday. We ' re as pleased as punch with the new club and the heritage that is ours, making us daughters of alumnae. We were organized last April by Mrs. Belle Oliver Hart, president of the Mary Washing- ton College National Alumnae Association. Our ultimate purpose is to maintain and fur- ther the traditions of Mary Washington as passed down to us by our mothers, by holding and setting a standard of kindness, good man- ners, and fair competition in all we do here. We try in some small way to show them our appreciation and love for the happy days we are spending here as a result of their efforts and sacrifices. As a group, we sent greetings to all of them at Christmas, had Peanut Week for Mothers, and wrote letters to them telling of our work with the Red Cross. The National Alumnae Association presents a silver loving cup each year to the Daughter whose scholastic record has been the highest for that year. Last year this honor went to Kathleen Hallett Goffigon, daughter of Mrs. Kathleen Hallett Goffigon, Class of ' i6. LPHA TAU TI When we walk into the library and choose a volume of Grimm ' s Fairy Tales from the classic shelves, we are not unaware of a few supercilious smiles. Actually we are not living in the past, for we have an eye to the future. Your best bet (off the record!) is that we ' re all progressive education advocates. We realize that our positions as the future directors of a young society is an important one; that probably no one else outside the home will wield such an influence as ours; that we hold a trust and that it must be kept with the best of our ability. Alpha Tau Pi prides itself in being young and modern. Modern teaching methods is our cry, for we want the best for young America. TI SIQMA KAPPA The Pi Sigma Kappa of Mary Washington College realizes now more than ever that it has a job on its hands — the job of training its mem- 172 ORGANIZATIONS bers, and impressing on our student body the importance of speech. Great orators have come down through the ages, but it is the women orators such as Madame Chiang Kai Chek, Eleanor Roosevelt, and others who are appeal- ing to the people today through their power of speech. They have taken their positions as great orators now, but what about the future? The future lies in the hands of the present col- lege students. It will be their heritage to carry on this precious torch of democracy that all the world may be inspired by its purpose. This, then, is the aim of Pi Sigma Kappa. By constant training and practice through radio work the members are preparing for a post-war world — a world war in which ora- tory and women will hold a prominent place. SigMA TAU CHI Wanted: one termpaper typed by tomorrow morning. You ' ve heard the cry every year. Who are these superwomen who are in such demand? Not my roommate nor I — we ' re strictly academic. The world is changing; have I been living in the past? The business world is demanding business women to be well-trained and capable. They must be alert and active. Their energy is unlimited: their personality is well-rounded and they really burst with efficiency. Actual study and work do not, by any means, take up the whole of their time, for there is much interesting and exciting social life — banquets, guest speakers, and picnics. And it ' s truly an honor to be a member of Sigma Tau Chi, because membership is not just for the asking; it ' s based on scholastic rating. From the green first degree Freshmen to the poised third degree Seniors, they are all able workers and specialists. The majority of these girls will be going out into an unsettled war-shocked world. Many of them will be claimed by the services — the WAC, WAVES, SPARS, or Marines, where their commercial education will be a definite asset to their government. ATHLE TIC ASSOCIATIO:Ni Name a synonym for fun and sport. You can ' t do better than name the first letter of the alphabet twice — not even if you exhaust your vocabulary. It ' s A. A., of course! We ' re con- stantly on the go and energy appears to be a boundless, almost unlimited thing. Our friends grin and allude to us as the dominant thyroids — as if that explained anything! We enjoy entertaining and we revel in enter- tainments. Our season opened with a bang last fall with the A. A. Benefit. Hockey and basketball followed suit. The winter games were something super. Our athletic activities make an endless list to think about: the 173 ORGANIZATIONS swimming meets, the tennis matches, and so on. The spring horse show, though, was really a top number. The day put on its best dress. We walked around the ring and delighted in the horsey smell of everything. Then, too, there are few words which can describe the sensations of the dance — of perfect rhythm, of perfect movement, and of perfect enjoyment. It ' s a pleasure and an honor that comes but once a year to a ' ' dominant thyroid ' ' — this perfect May Day ! SE: CI01i swoDE1iN t a:hce club Few people realize the effort and hard work that go into the performing of the modern dance. The modern dance that is so graceful, so rhythmically perfect .and so expressive is a skill that is attained only after ardent and per- sistent practice. It is the goal of the dancer to create movements that will portray the idea she is trying to convey to her audience and this in itself is a difficult, tedious job. The members of the Senior Modern Dance Club have attained this goal, but only through constant practice sessions. It has been their goal this year, too, to carry over to the student body the beauty and intricacies of the modern dance. This was done through a convocation program sponsored by the club in which the menbers portrayed the execution of the mod- ern dance from the elementary fundamentals to the more complex techniques. The program gave the student body a better appreciation of the work that the members are doing. The club cannot be mentioned without pointing out the active part the members take in the May Day festivities. The grace, the ease, and the perfect mastery with which the girls dance is beauty in its highest form. Mary Washington College is proud of its Senior Modern Dance Club. It has proved that . . . A thing of beauty is a joy forever; Its loveliness increases; it will never. Pass into nothingness. So the modern dance will continue to play an important part in the life at Mary Washing- ton College through the efforts of the Club. ju:hCJO ' K. ODE%N T A3 E CLUB A half turn, a leap and a pause, and then, a movement without beauty — a contrast for reality. The ease and grace of the performers catches our breath and leaves us with a desire that we might do the same. Dance is an art but like most arts, it calls for a very practical side of work, exercise and study. The Junior Modern Dance Club is the little sister to the Senior Modern Dance Club. We know that she has not the sophistication of her sister, but that she is provocatively aware of her growing ability. She ' s getting there, too, by leaps and turns and persistent study. Several times she has aided her older sister when the test came, such as on convocation night. We give our praise and await the climax of her art. TET(Ti Pi:Ni CLUB There is beauty in an athlete ' s coordination and it is a delight to watch the ease with which he performs a task with his body. Per- haps you have stopped by the swimming pool when the Terrapin Club was having a workout 174 ORGANIZATIONS and were impressed — long arms gracefully- stroking their way to the farther end of the pool leaving the faintest ripple of a trail, a slight splash, and an underwater movement and the swimmer easily breaks the water in perfect time. In swimming the Terrapin Club has found a sport which combines all of the qualifica- tions desired of an extra curricular activity. Socially, the girls find the pleasure of working and playing with other girls in presenting exhibitions, aquacades and splash par ties. They obtain many thrills out of the competi- tion in swimming meets. Perhaps the greatest pleasure a girl finds in belonging to the club is the exhilaration she feels as she develops co- ordination in her body and the satisfaction she obtains from being able to do something well. Having as its members a grand group of girls, the Terrapin Club has made itself well- known on campus. It has carried the name of Mary Washington College all over the coun- try by placing nationally in the National Tele- graphic Meets. The students will continue to look to the Terrapin Club for aquatic beauty. OUTi: CLUB Dressed in something old and comfortable, cares momentarily forgotten, the girls of the Outing Club are off on a hike. Whereto — who cares? It may be up to the cabin or up to the dam. The place is a minor matter, the fact remains that a good time is to be had in simply enjoying nature and her freedom. A simple blue sky spotted with puffy white clouds and a small brook with moss-covered banks takes its place among our memories. And, like Wordsworth, we say, one impulse from the vernal wood may teach you more of man — of moral, evil, and of good than all the sages can. HOOFPTiJ S AU CAVAL%r TT pOP Dust and heat hang heavy over the show ring at Oak Hill, but there is something ever more palpable in the air — the excitement shared alike by spectators, and participants. It is the Spring Show, for Hoof-Printers and Cavalry Troopers the highlight of the year, the star performance for which little shows, gymkhana, meetings in Chandler were re- hearsal and preparation. Equitation, jumping, hack and hunter classes have run off smoothly; the blues, the reds, the yellows have been awarded one by one until, standing tall and gleaming on the judges table with the flaming tri-color at its base, the Championship Cup remains the only trophy still to be awarded. The last and climaxing class is in the ring, and interest and speculation run high as the con- test is fought. It is the climax of the show and, for the jocks of MWC, the climax of a year of thrills, spills, and fun. Soon this, too, will be added to memories of ' possum hunts, supper rides, drilling with Cavalry, class rides, horse talk, overnight hikes, cleaning tack and braid- ing manes; memories of Butch ' s sorrowful expression after an artful dumping, of Tar Baby ' s black heels nearly dusting the four-foot rail, of Double Scotch ' s flashy looks and man- ner, the thrill of first being put up on Bachelor Boy; memories, too, of flaming autumn leaves beyond a hill of tender green winter wheat, of a path of unbroken snow leading away ahead beneath white-laden evergreens, of the 175 ORGANIZATIONS low white club house and barns sprawled in the spring sun, and of the sandy trail criss- crossed by the sparkling waters of a stream deep in the shade of a wooded glen. gE%MAV CLUB The brevity of this comment on a club of long standing, measured in terms of the life of the College itself, must undoubtedly commend itself to the gentle reader, if the content in itself does not. In addition, something within the typed lines may provoke a smile, or chal- lenge an imagination in visioning what ob- tained on The Hill once upon a time in the long long ago when the social dictum declared that men should not be allowed to come to the dances. It was No Man ' s Land so far as mixed dances were concerned. In the early twenties of this immediate century such a social status did obtain, but it was neither a natural status, nor a desirable status, nor a happy status, nor a successful social status, even though the dances for girls only were formal to the last word in length of gloves, fragrant corsage, and artistic program card; formal to the last word in the elaborate decorative effect in the old gym, when it would almost lose its identity. On one oc- casion swaying sprays of wisteria, numberless sprays so real in appearance that they seemed to have left their natural vines on the walls of old Monroe, invaded the gym, and literally possessed it in an abandon of color, purple deep, orchid rare, lavender, and lilac. But to the point, for this is not the early twenties, but the Maytime of ' 44, when mm and not wisteria invade the Hilltop on all dance occasions, formal or informal, and with a high premium of appreciation placed on the invaders. The German Club was organized primarily with a view of introducing mixed dances on the Hill, but there was another ob- jective — to use this social unit to create not only an additional interest in dances but also an additional interest in a social program of fineness of manner and manners, and smooth- ness of finish for social occasions. The group served as a nucleus for this dual program, and the personnel was frequently used as manni- kins in demonstrating correct etiquette for the ballroom and for other occasions. In the pass- ing of years a score of other mediums have been employed for just such a program, but the German Club still consistently incorporates these objectives in its activity and strives to interpret its creed i n a finer and deeper char- acteristic — an awareness that a beautiful be- havior is more beautiful than a beautiful face or a beautiful form. COTILLIOJ CLUB The Cotillion Club of Mary Washington College was organized in the school year 1937- 38, its primary purpose being to promote ad- 176 ORGANIZATIONS ditional dances for the student body, with particular emphasis on the freshmen. Half of the new members taken in each year would be freshmen and half of those invited to attend the dances would be freshmen. In the year 1939 The Cotillion March, written by Jean Johnson Rust was adopted by the club for the figure music. In the following years the club branched out in its social activities — gatherings following Lyceum numbers, buffet suppers and other parties for students. With the beginning of the war, the members took an active inter- est in defense work by engaging in bandage rolling, knitting and cooperating with the blood donor campaign. Cotillion Club pro- moted the idea of donating a certain portion of the dance receipts to a war project. This policy was adopted by other clubs. The Cotillion Club represents a cross-section of a variety of interests on the college campus. Its ideas are embodied in the finest ideals of womanhood. VICTORY CHO%US After the swift upward movement of a skill- ful baton, and after the tense momentary hush which precedes a long-awaited commencement in practiced accord, there is a great swelling of voices sounding as one high clear note, and the wonder of music is of an instant caught and held in all the vast import of its richest mean- ing. A call to victory and song sends forth its vibrant tones of appeal and echoes the perfect beauty of its harmony. The Victory Chorus sings tribute to the men who are brave enough and strong enough to leave what is known to them and familiar. The Victory Chorus sings of the gentle trust of prayer, and the infinite tenderness of love, and the untold longing of despair, and the bright loveliness of a serene memory. The Victory Chorus sings — and one quiet voice speaks poignant words above its melody. A call to Victory and song reaches far, and receives its answer — which is not forgotten. fAl r WASHINQTOU TLATE S As the curtain rose on another year of dra- matics at Mary Washington College, the thes- pians were again hard at work proving that the Theatre Lives. The players, with a sense of individual re- sponsibility have made their motto, Make the Play the thing and the Players the club as their guiding light and have plunged ahead to make this year of uncertainty and unrest a memorable one in good theatrical productions. It has been their aim to give the girls of the college a preview of professional theatre with Pucy and Denham ' s play Ladies in Retire- ment, Barrie ' s, Quality Street, and numer- ous other one-act plays. When the final curtain is lowered on this 177 ORGANIZATIONS years ' productions, the girls of Mary Washing- ton College can truly say ' ' The Theatre Lives . ' ' gLEE CLUB Whenever we think of the Mary Washington Glee Club sensations of pleasure fill our minds. Their Christmas Concert is one of the brightest highlights of the season. Thoughts of exami- nations were repressed as we made our way to George Washington Auditorium on that cool Sunday afternoon. We felt there as we listened, a peace and calm that defied the turbulence of war. The Spring Concert was light — and yet serious, too. It wasn ' t just another concert. It couldn ' t be. It filled our hearts with love and sympathy. We heard their voices rise to clear beautiful heights, heard them descend while our favorite soprano came into the musi- cal foreground. The last note lingered in the air and then settled in our hearts to remain forever. CHO%AL CLUB And the night shall be filled with music — filled with beautiful, full, glorious music. Clear high voices blended in harmonic beauty issuing from an ivy covered building called Monroe Hall. The night is Thursday and the music is the weekly rehearsal of the Choral Club. How many times we have stopped to listen in the shadows of the building at first on crisp autumn nights and later in the quiet falling snow. We stopped to listen and to be inspired by the warmth and beauty of the voices singing their carols to the heavens. Later we enjoyed the finished product, a Christmas program. In keeping with the war- time activities, the members later presented the program at the Fredericksburg USO. Through these and other concerts the girls have found enjoyment, but their enjoyment is unequal to the pleasure derived from the pro- grams by the students of Mary Washington. A salute to the Mary Washington College Band! Across the circle we can see a moving line of color. It moves rhythmically and easily. Batons flash and sparkle like glass in the sunlight against chic uniforms of blue and white. If we had marched with them to the gala band benefit dance we would have seen ye olde gym converted into an artful and tuneful seaworthy craft. That was not the only sur- prise present, either — but then, we can ' t tell tales and names, too! A highlight of the season was the topping amount of interest in the choice of a drum majorette. And, as if it were possible, that interest outdid itself when a Mary Washington audience leaned out of its windows to see its twirlers waltzing on Nature ' s carpet! It was new and original. The growing tradition of the Mary Washington College Band is not at a standstill. It takes a forward step in our college life with every step of every white boot in its make-up! STMPHO hCJ OTiSHEST%A The M. W. C. Symphony Orchestra has been one of the prides of our campus this year. In- creased since last year with added talent, our ■orchestra has been at its best. Under the di- rection of Mr. Faulkner, its enthusiastic con- ductor and supporter, the orchestra has played 178 ORGANIZATIONS several successful and varied programs. That musical touch before, between and after the acts of the plays given really added to the en- tertainment of the evening. The musicians of M. W. C. played their best in the Convocation program before Christmas to say nothing about their super performance on May Day. As always in years before, the M. W. C. Orchestra has had the loyal support of all the students and faculty on the campus. This was greatly appreciated especially during those periods of rehearsal in the afternoon on the stage of George Washington Hall when our orchestra worked hard to gain and retain the finish it possesses. We can thank Mr. Faulk- ner for struggling with the strings, the brass, the winds, and the tympani to get them all to finish at the same time and at the right time. Rehearsals are filled with a lot of fun and ex- citement as well as hard work and business. All in all, we can agree that a year at M. W. C. wouldn ' t be complete without the M. W. C. Symphony Orchestra. ' DAV E 0%CHEST%A There ' s only one group of girls on the cam- pus who can do it. They walk about with a smile on their lips and a ready tune in their instruments. They ' re not high brows who con- descend to swing it. They ' re regular fellers who love popular music and give MWC ' ers the music they love to dance to. Annually they make their debut at the Kid Party. From then on it ' s an open season. From the hilarity of lolly-pops to the formality of Student Government Reception you ' ll find them easily adaptable. They make you sway softly and sweetly to the swing of their strings. or they make you step lively to the boogie- beat from the blast of the brass. They play for a Bond Benefit or just a get-together. They give you a memory with a sentimental tone or they give you boogie-woogie with a fleeting but teasing rhythm. The dance orchestra is unrivalled in interest and unexcelled in versa- tility. It ' s ours! It ' s the Mary Washington College Dance Orchestra ! mAro:NiET What ' s a state without a constitution? What ' s a busy intersection without a traffic light? What good is a second floor to a build- ing if it has no stairs? How peacefully can x,ooo girls live together on a college campus without a Bayonet? When 700 freshmen enter into the active life of college, they become citizens of a girls ' town. During freshman training, they learn all the rules and regulations of this town. The editors of the Bayonet, our handbook, have published this manual with the intention of making it easier for them to become accus- tomed to our way of living. Just as an intersection needs its traffic light 179 ORGANIZATIONS ® and as order comes out of chaos with the es- tablishment of planned organization, the Bay- onet helps to make good citizens of the new inhabitants of our girls ' town. THE BULLET The Bullet brings to the student body each Monday night the complete story behind the headlines. Its staff, being true reporters in the sense that they realize that their readers want the facts, often works far into the night so that they won ' t be disappointed. It has been said that a college newspaper is a record that plays back a symphony of the college year ' s events — a German formal, Hans Kindler, the Devil-Goat rally, a Cotillion dance, the Student Government reception, the fall Gymkhana, the Beauty contest, a Prome- nade prom, a Senior class benefit. May Day, Commencement exercises. That is what the Bullet strives to do. The editorial column express the correlated opinions of a student body which is aware that the country is at war. Domestic problems also are in for their share of discussion. Bull Session ' ' gives the students ample opportunity to see in print their individual thoughts on campus and world affairs. The Bullet holds membership in the Associa- ated Collegiate Press, the national press asso- ciation for college newspapers. It is through the exchange of papers with colleges in the eastern half of the United States that the Bul- let manages to keep in step with the times and is able to report to its readers what other stu- dents are doing. The publication of a weekly paper takes time, patience, and offers little reward in the way of class credit or scholastic achievement. However, the joy of seeing in print one ' s own words and thoughts, and the knowledge of a job well done even though the fact is not real- ized at the immediate time offers compensa- tion. One author has said and there is more truth contained herein than may be suspected : The students get the paper, The school gets the fame. The printer gets the money, The staff gets the blame. BATTLEFIELD I AM THE BATTLEFIELD. You are a person. Someone gave you a name even as someone gave me a name. They called you Mary because your mother ' s name is Mary. They call me Battlefield because my life came into existence and is lived where once in the long, long ago battles were fought. Odd, isn ' t it? I am made up of anything but battles. I am a compound quantity proportioning love and laughter and pride and sentiment and memory that find expression through printed pages and a gallery of pictures. I am an inani- mate object, yet I am animate because I am — You. I can hear you talk about me, yet I have no ears; I can feel your hands with lacquered nails move smoothly over me, yet I am totally without the sense of feel; but I hear and feel and see because I am — You. They christened you Mary; they christened me Battlefield. They should have called me, You, for I am —You.

Here East does meet West, and the North and the South } ingle. We like the idea of thinking in terms of ourselves, here on Marye ' s Heights, as being a small cross section of a United Nation. The theme for this mural is the State seal of California. 231 he mural above that commends itself to the passer-by for more than its beauty is based on the seal of the District of Columbia, iL ' hich lies less than three score miles north of our oivn historic Fredericks- burg. It is not of the moment when the seal was adopted so much as it is of the moment with the familiar dome of the Capitol in the background, and the figure of Washington, patriot and statesman, for all time.

It was delightful to see the entire Council group gowned in lovely formals and the occasion was declared by all worthy of red-lettering on the social calendar. SEMPER PARATUS By Dorothy Elwell There ' s a hand of men, of fine, hardy men Who brave the perilous sea; Whenever a ship is in distress. They rush to ansiver its plea. It matters not if ship he foreign. If enemy ensigns wave ahove; The Coast Guard stands for deeds of valor. Of fearless courage and brotherly love. They know action, they know danger, ' Midst the ravage of savage attack; Their dauntless code: You have to go out, But you don ' t have to come TO MY MOTHER By Mary Catherine Baker When I recall the ivay that once strong body Shielded me and gave me of its best; And how your thoughts and feelings centered on my life — No sacrifice too great, nor any job too long — I toeep the more to see that body bruised and pained. Fired by a spirit dauntless noiv as then. Motherhood has taken ?nuch, but that it could not kill! Take heart, dear Mother, lean on my strength . The courage, hope, and strength born of you in me Are yours; use them as you will. back.

ME%ICAN %ED C%OSS MARY WASHINGTON COLLEGE OF THE UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA UNIT This year marks the birth of a new organiza- tion on the Hill — an organization to mobilize the students of this college into a group con- scious of the effort to be made in the war emer- gency and to train and prepare these students to carry with them wherever they may go the high ideals and courageous spirit of the Ameri- can Red Cross. When an integral force was needed to unite the various phases of war aid contributed by campus clubs the College Unit was formed by the consent of the student body. A special activity committee supervises the collecting of tin, cancelled stamps, newspapers, and maga- zines. Courses in first-aid and life-saving that are offered by the school lead to active Red Cross certificates. Girls are given the oppor- tunity to train as nurse ' s aides. Bandage-roll- ing and blood donations continue to be spon- sored. The faith that was first placed in the Unit ' s success has been upheld. That it has proven, and will continue to prove, its worth is evi- dent. Not only is the student body doing its share under the banner of the Red Cross but it will carry on the work in the communities where it is so vitally needed. 244 The Spanish Club ' s operetta, Celeto Lindo, written by Dr. Louis Cabrero and presented on the evening of January 19th made for rythmic delight and a finer appreciation of the Span- ish-speaking people, our good neighbors to the South. ... beauty is a joy forever.
