A sigh of rehef escapes our Hps. Is it really true? The sad, lonely hours, days, months of watching and waiting are over. Truth and justice have triumphed, as we were certain they someday would. But we shall not forget the costly price of that victory, and our thoughts A ill ever turn toward those who did not live to see its fulfillment. Rest for a moment. Breathe in the fresh air of freedom once again. But do not pause too long ... it is time to put our shoulders to the wheel and strive with renewed vigor to rebuild our future world upon the ruins of the past. We have received the prize of peace ... it is our task to make it longlasting. To that task we humbly dedicate our- selves — to the making of the peace !

EMBREY Lawyer, Former Judge, Scholar, Historian BROMPTON BROMPTON, suggestive of Merrie Eng- ' land and La Belle France, fair lands across the mighty Atlantic Ocean, which in the time of Yester Years gave of their Manhood and Womanhood, the brave, the hardy pioneers, who, weary of the gigantic conflicts of Europe sought a New Home in the New World where, undis- turbed by the upheavals of Europe, they could build for themselves and their posterity a new home in the New World beyond the Atlantic. The First Colony at Jamestown was in 1607 and was succeeded by the exploration of the Rap- pahannock River by Capt. John Smith in 160S, in which year, so far as known, the eye of the white man first saw the tree-covered top of what is now known as Brompton, the anc ient and historical estate, which has in 1945, been ac- quired for use as a portion of the grounds of the Mary Washington College for Women of the University of Virginia. This land is part of a Crown Grant of 2,000 acres to John Buckner and Thomas Royston of May 2, 1671 for the transportation of 40 persons into the colony. This ancient Crown Grant is still extant and notably testifies to the courage, hardihood and bravery of the women of that early time, for among the forty persons transported into the colony, whose transportation was the consideration for the Grant, are listed Mary Parker, Dorcas Young, Elizabeth Sharps, Blanch fdarding, Mary Thompson, Mary Greeford, Ara- bella Singleton, and Ann Townsend, and who can deny that brave women from thence till now have not mightily contributed to building that Free America in a New World of Lofty Ideals, Tolera- tion, and Christian Comprehension. 25 ■M- ' ' In February, 1727, the Town of Fredericksburg was formed by Ace of the House of Burgesses of Virginia, taking the river front of the Patent, an area of 50 acres, and the remaining 1,950 acres by successive deeds were divided, the up-river or northwestern half to John Royston, and the -fthr down-river or southeastern half, including the Brompton land to Col. Henry Willis. Incidentally part of this lower half is now the beautiful National Cemetery, in which sleep 15,296 Union Soldiers, interred there immediately after the Civil War, and known in National Annals as Willis Hill — a true hill-up the side, on, and over the top, and down on the other side. Not so with Brompton, however, for Brompton is on high land at the summit of the escarpment. The English, for thousands of years, have had the sea in their blood; their gaze has ever been seaward, not landward, and froni their high ground, looking ever to the sea, they observed the land sloping from the convex escarpment down to the next level, then down again by suc- ceeding downs, to the sea shore, with its little sandy ridges washed by the sea on the shore lines, and being little downs — the last to the water — they called them dunes. The whole, however, were the English Downs, along the heights of which for cen- turies from London-town had run, and now runs the Bronipton Road, on which is now situated one of the oldest and prettiest ceme- teries — God ' s Acre — in all England, where sleep awaiting the Resurrection Morn, many of the mighty dead of the English Kings and their Lords, some of whom opposed the Roman invasion quite two milleniums gone by, before Saxon, Dane, and Norman had become amalgamated into the present British Union. The Marye family were French Protestants- Huguenots, to whom, by the Edict of Nantes, signed by the French King, Henry IV on April 15, 159S were granted full civil rights and liberty of conscience to worship God without molesta- tion from King or Subject, Bishop or Priest. The Revocation of the Edict by King Louis, on Oc- tober 18, 16S5 deprived the Protestants of France of all civil and religious liberty, thus giving a new incentive to the emigration, mostly to England, of the Huguenots among whom were the Maryes and many of whom, after years in England, emi- grated to Virginia, where they became outstand- ing citizens. In the peculiar richness of its rural scenery Brompton perhaps surpasses other portions of the Virginia Piedmont and Tidewater. It is at the Foot of the Falls and commands a view of both the eastern limit of the Piedmont and of the western limit of the Tidewater. At the foot of the Downs the non-tidal 28 water of the Piedmont, coming down from the eastern slope of the Blue Ridge Mountain, meets the tidal water sweeping up-river from the At- lantic Ocean and Chesapeake Bay. At the Fails the river, in countless ages, has cut its way through the living granite, and the high lands on both sides of the river, looking eastward a distance of eight miles, describe great semi-circles each con- cave to the river, thus forming, as it were, a great Punch Bowl, on the rim of which sits Bromp- ton and other beautiful and historic homes, each of commanding vie v. From the mouth of the Rappahannock River, upstream for miles, the country is flat, and farther up it is largely marshes, or steep precipitous cliffs, and what a lovely sight must it have been to the settlers in the Fredericksburg region when, after a voyage from England, and reaching the present Brompton area, they saw the counterpart of their lovely Downs of England, the land from the river bank rising to the present Caroline Street level, thence to the Princess Anne Street level, and along the plains to the escarpment rising the con- vex surface to the summit where Brompton now stands, the Mansion Fiouse of substantial brick to be begun by John Lawrence Marye, after his initial purchase of ten acres from William Gordon and William Allen, September 26, 1821, and as shown by increase assessments on the land assess- ment books, almost year by year of additions to the dwelling house. Unlike Willis Hill, home of Colonel Willis, visited by William Byrd, progenitor of Senator Fdarry F. Byrd, in 1732, Brompton is not on a hill, but caps the escarpment, with level land back to the west until the western country reached into the Wilderness of the Civil War of 1860-1865. It was to rise this escarpment and capture Gen. Robert E. Lee ' s headquarters at Brompton that the Northern generals vainly sent their heroic troop in the tragic battle of Fredericksburg, and the Northern Army correspondents, not knowing the terrain, or nature of the country, to the im- mediate west of Brompton, and being land- ward in their outlook, not seaward as the British of the English Downs, gave to the whole expanse of the battlefield the sobriquet of Marye ' s Fieights, as it is known in the termi- nology of American Military History. To his original purchase of 10 acres, John Lawrence Marye added other purchases of con- tiguous land, increasing his holdings to se eral hundred acres, an addition being the Alum Spring Wood Tract to the west, a hundred and se ' enty- nine acres. On the Alum Spring Tract was a dam im- pounding the waters of Hazel Run, affording waterpower to run a large grist mill ot stone con- 29 scruccion, with stone miller ' s houses and stone granaries, serving this region before the American Revolution, and during the Revolution providing flour and meal for the Revolutionary Armies. This mill, with its accompanying buildings, be- came what would now be called a Veteran ' s Hospital for wounded and sick Revolutionary Soldiers and many from the battle of Yorktown were brought here for medical aid and surgical treatment. The Rev. James Marye, first of this prominent family to come to Virginia, was a native ot Rouen, Normandy and from thence to London, from which ran the Brompton Road in Kent. He married Maria Ann Staige, daughter of the Anglican minister, and sailed from London in September 1729, arriving in Virginia, settled in Manajin-Town, in present Goochland County, and was soon called to Saint George Parish in Spotsylvania County where he continued until his death in 1767. His son, the second Rev. James Marye, who had studied at the College of William and Mary, succeeded his father in Saint George Parish, in which Parish is Brompton, and to the second Rev. James Marye and, his wife, nee Mildred Slaughter, was born John Lawrence Marye, builder and owner of Brompton. John Lawrence Marye was a member of the Virginia Legislature in 1S60-61, and consequently a member of that body when the Ordinance of Secession was adopted, and Vir- ginia became one of the Confederate States of America. Brompton passed into the ownership of the Lanes, thence to Capt. M. B. Rowe and thence to the Mary Washington College for Women of the University of Virginia. At the foot is the Sunken Road of Civil War fame; on its height were the headquarters of Gen. Robert E. Lee at the san- guinary Battle of Fredericksburg, December 1S61, where the Northern Army crossed the Rappahan- nock River to undertake the impossible. The world has many battlefields, but around Brompton is the memoralization of the courage- ous devotion of men A ' ho carried on the traditions that Americans will die for their convictions, which is in accord with the educational philosophy of the age, which aims to give the learning process more vitality, to make truth more real. Viewed from its crest, one can see a mile away, the Northern Neck of Virginia, to which region James II on February 10, 16S7 granted the right of Religious Freedom to the settlers — the free exercise of their Religion without being prose- cuted or molested upon any penall laws or other account for the same, and the Kings Highway is on the north side of the river, and the Tidewater Trail on the south side, along both of which streamed the settlers to penetrate the gaps of 30 the Blue Ridge Mountain, thence over the Valley of Virginia and the Alleghany Mountains, to the Winning of the West. As surely as the ships of the world have navigated the English Channel in view of Brompton on the English Downs, so surely have peoples of the early American days, in almost endless streams, passed Brompton Downs in Spotsylvania County in their journey to the West. History, we dare hope, is repeating itself at and around Brompton and the lovely Mary Washing- ton College for Women in a more enduring way in these days of the twentieth century. The lovely student body, from many states of the Union and from foreign lands stands today upon the threshold of a new Era — at the beginning of a new ' ' New Learning — more fraught with consequences to this life and the life to come than the New Learning of Europe, in the sixteenth century, held for the hardy, intrepid, faithful and courage- ous women who are named in the old Patent of 1671, which embraced the Brompton yet to be. A singular and striking similarity exists be- tween the Brompton of the old world of centuries ago and this Brompton of the Mary Washington College for Women in Spotsylvania County, Virginia. In topographical aspect, here as there, on the summit of the Downs, commanding views of the water; here as there, the proximity of a lovely cemetery, final resting place of heroic dead who gave their lives at the call of duty and in their country ' s welfare; here as there, formerly a part of Brompton, and in view close by, to the west, the site of the ancient Veteran ' s Hospital ; here as there, each in Saint George ' s Parish, a great Insti- tution, whether called school, or college, or uni- versity, for the physical, mental, and moral edu- cation of young women. As the opportunities of these young women of the twentieth century, and of their successors in centuries yet to come, exceed the opportunities of their precursors of 1671, so much the more will their responsibilities be. It is an Iconoclast, indeed, who doubts that the young women of the Mary Washington College for Women will fail in any of these responsibilities. C_- ' ' - iA- - -t. 31 Charles Henry Niehaus was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, January 24, 1S55. In early life he followed wood-carving, stone-cutting and marble-carving. He studied art at the McMicken School of Design, Cincinnati, and at the Royal Academy at Munich. He also studied in Athens and Greece. He was a member of the National Sculpture Society, National Institute of Arts and Letters, Academician of the National Academy of Design, Fellow of L ' Associazione della Artistica Internazionale di Roma. Mr. Niehaus died at Eagle Crest, Grantwood, New Jersey, June 19, 1935. Mary Washington College feels itself to be in high favor for the great privilege of having in its halls an elaborate exhibit of many of the works of this master artist, through the gracious generosity of his daughter, Marie Niehaus. The Battlefield feels itself peculiarly rich in the employment of pictorial pages of a Hanneman monument, an intrepid John Paul Jones, the grace of a Greek statue, a beloved Robert E. Lee, a noble Abraham Lincoln. The book comes into a lasting value through the pictured art that has entered into its content. The sculptured works of Charles Henry Niehaus are in themselves a monument to his genius but a yet greater monument, invisible, rises within the heart of Mary Washington College — that of a recognition of the wealth of culture which can become a part of ourselves through the law of associa- tion with the rare workmanship of a famous artist of wide renown. Through the mounting years, there will come a deeper appreciation, a sustained gratitude, and a better understanding of art and culture for the fact that Charles Henry Niehaus lived, and loved, and worked, and — gave.

Four years — long if measured in days, short if cherished in memory — are ours — ours on which to build a life — a life never to be free from the influence of those things here experienced. The beauty in life will be heightened when we remember such as a winding road, leading through an ever-changing forest; a silent white landscape, lying under shining stars, upon which each has made her secret wishes and placed her hopes; an unforgettably beautiful spring, rich in the color of newborn leaves and flowers, and full of strength for those who perhaps have been discouraged by winter ' s forbidding bleakness. The happiness in life will be enriched by the memories of living as one of a great family — all striving through collective talents and personalities to create an harmonious and pleasant atmosphere. Who among us shall fail to remember the anxiety of benefits, perfected by hours of grueling but satisfying work; the short-lived but perfect moments of ring dances; the pride and confidence felt in the first eventful donning of cap and gown? There has been sadness too, but what other standard have we by which to measure final happiness — for only out of failures can ultimate success grow and be realized; each is essential and interdependent. We have finished, yes — we began at the bottom of a long hill, and in climbing the hill have thus climbed to a new height. Now, we shall be regarded with a new respect and faced with a greater challenge. The respect we will merit, for we have proved ourselves worthy of our alma mater, who, herself, has moved to ever higher standing during our association with her. The challenge we must meet with boundless strength and courage, for it is with us that the peace and security of a postwar world are to be trusted. These fouryears, though infinitesimal in the span of time, have been momentous in the progress of world aff airs. We, who have quietly withdrawn ourselves from these years of conflict in our preparation for future service, are the Class of Forty-six, who now emerge to take our rightful place in shaping the pattern of tomorrow — in so doing shall we achieve our new beginning. 56 Senior Class Officers President Elizabeth Strother Harrison Vice-President Frances Adair Secretary , • .

Music 101 A Moment ' s Pause A moment ' s pause before we turn our faces toward the last lap of our journey; a moment ' s reminiscence of the happy days that made up our Junior year : The Waltz of the Flowers, our Junior show, with Liz Krebbs as chairman, will remain one of the loveliest of the annual beauty contests. We ' ll never forget our thrill of pride as Irene Taylor led the Tri-Unit to victory in the first M.W.C. song contest. Many are the class meetings and good old-fashioned get-togethers we have enjoyed with Irene at the piano. Nancy Hite, Jean Kirby, and Marian Withers were separated from us as house presidents of Betty Lewis, Willard, and Cornell, but they remained a part of us and shared in all the fun. A cheer for the others, too : Barbara Buckham, House President of Mary Ball, Anna White, of Madison, and Anna Brauer, of Custis. Three cheers for our able class president, Nelle Dawes ! The Junior Class enjoyed a lovely tea given by the Y, which Dr. and Mrs. hisley attended. We offer our grateful thanks to Dr. Insley for his never-failing help and cooperation as our sponsor. The year drew to a close with the traditional Ring Dance, more mean- ingful than ever before because this was our first year of participation in its grace and beauty. The simple, dignified seal, set in a band of gold, represents fond memories of three years at Mary Washington, and promises, by the tiny 47 on the side, fulfillment of our hopes and dreams. With a lingering look at the graceful columns of Mary Ball Hall, and a fresh memory in our hearts of the friendliness which is a part of Tri- Unit, we face with courage and expectation our final year of college. 102 Junior Class Officers President Nelle Dawes Vice-President Elizabeth Krebbs Secretary Gloria Jolly Treasurer Wilson Barker Sponsor _ Dr. Earl Insley • ' ' 5 mp Anne Lee Acton Gloria Johanne Affinko Irene Louise Albro Betty Brynes Allen Lois Janet Anderson June Carolyn Ashton Jacqueline Sidney Backncr Leland Theodora Bailey Mary Virginia Bailey Betty Holland Bane Evelyn Wilson Barker Elizabeth Marie Bates Alice Miles Baumgardner Jean Anne Bell Aida Alicia Beltran Junior 104 Nancy Inez Bevell Margaret Mitchell Bliven Alison Louise Bowen Martha Ann Bradley Adelaide Louise Brail Jean Bramham Anna Alfreda Brauer Joan Briggs Hester Briscoe Margaret Anne Brown Verna Christine Brown Virginia Marie Brown Nora Crowell Bryant Barbara Lee Buckham Jean Elizabeth Burch Cla ss 105 Prudence Elizabeth Burchard Una Madeline Burke Gloria Theresa Burns Marian Elizabeth Butler Lolita Jean Carter Roberta Frances Carter Louise Carwile Betty May Caum Mary Frances Cheatham Georgia Inez Chryssikos Alta Mae Clark Jean Thomas Clark Nellie Blanche Clarke Elizabeth Anne Conklin Gloria Vivian Conte Junior 106 Dorothy Frances Conway Jane Copley Auralea Cox Betty Anne Cox Margaret Elizabeth Crickenberger Jean Ethel Crotty Frances Bilbie Crowell Sallie Booker Crowell Barbara Lucille Curtice Harriet Jane Davis Judith Lewis Davis Nell Mosdell Dawes Conchita Marie de Medio Phyllis Joan Derigon Margaret Ellen Divelbiss Cla ss 107 Mary Kathleen Dobson Julia Jean Dooley Nancy Pittman Douglass Betty Moore Drewry Ann Elizabeth DriscoU Jean Frances Drummond Margaret Lee Drummond Mary Ellen Dulaney Jane Howard Edmonds Ann Elizabeth Emmons Anne Eley Everett Margaret Ann Estes Dixie Lee Faires Peggy Frances Fardette Helena Ann Feaster Junior 108 Frances Edith Ficklin Martha Jane Fischer Betty Lou Fleischer Gladys DeEtte Fletcher Isobel Frances Fox Sylvia Iris Francis Margaret Elizabeth Frazier Marianne Lee Friddell Betty Ellen Fulk Virginia White Futrell Rita Charlotte Gardiner Josie Maude Garnett Gerry Marie Gilbert Claire Frances Glover Gladys Lavenia Godwin Cla ss 109 Lorraine Emma Goedde Irene Margueritte GofFigon Maxine Leah Gold Barbara Elizabeth Good -

It Won ' t Be Long! With the world at peace again, we returned to our Ahiia Mater with hght hearts to begin our second eventful year at Mary Washington Col- lege of the University of Virginia. At first, old friends were missed from our Freshman class, but transfer students came along to take their places. After five years of navy blue and khaki, it was good to have civi-clad dates strolling about campus. Our class colors, green and white, an innovation at M.W.C., and Sopho- more Day brought our members together into a wholesome group which bubbled over with enthusiasm and school spirit. Highlights of the year included such memorable events as the Beauty Contest in which two of our own girls — Sarah Armstrong and Marjorie Batty — placed first and second respectively. We emerged from the Song Contest, which called forth our utmost musical abilities, with two delightful class songs to carry with us through the remainder of our stay here at the college on the hill. A Fantastic Takeoff was experienced with the production of our Benefit. Downright hard work and fun converted it into a harmonious display of our varied talent at its best. Teas, dances, and Lyceum programs added that certain touch which made our year finer and more complete. Social life, however, was but a by-product of the main phase of our life at Mary Washington, Major and minor fields of study were decided upon and delved into with ardent interest and rigorous research. Can we ever forget our housemothers — Mrs. Bushnell and Mrs. Love, and their generous and loving guidance for which we are deeply appre- ciative. Memories of our dorms, Virginia and Betty Lewis, are also deeply implanted in our minds, and will long be remembered as one of the im- portant features of our college lives. Companionship and festivity coupled with mental stimulation — such was our Sophomore year at M.W.C. of the U. of Va. 120 Sophomore Class Officers President Sarah Armstrong Vice-President Norvell Millner Secretary Barbara Ann Hough Treasurer Bette Worsham Sponsor Dr. Robert Pyle 121 Nancy Lee Abreo AUene Louisa Acton Vivian Marie Adams Mary Gene Alford Frances Ellen Alvey Charlotte Jane Anderson Lucy Mason Anderson Sarah Margaret Armstrong Margaret Eleanor Ashman Emily King Avery Emma Neal Ayala Emily Randolph Barksdale Anne Evelyn Barnes Ann Brannan Bartholomew Estelle Marjorie Batty Bessie Louise Beasley Frances Pratt Belman Betty Janet Bender Elizabeth Randolph Bennett Corinna Gordon Billingsley Sofhotnorc ill Carolyn Leap Black Lois Corinne Blake Mary Elizabeth Bondurant Betty Bowles Ruth Catherine Bowling Eleanor Goldthwaite Brackett Eva Lucille Bradshaw Margaret Elizabeth Braxton Doris Elizabeth Brooks Ueta Marian Brooks Rosemary Hollister Brooks Susan Henrietta Brown Lilie Shepherd Buchanan Elizabeth Ann BuUis Emily Frances Bundy Barbara Carroll Burhans Betty Jane Burton Rosemary Caldwell Alice Callaway Dorothy Mae Campbell Class 123 Winifred Walker Canada Jean Mae Carter Phyllis Ann Cassell Alice Louise Cassriel Rose Castiglia Anne Jacqueline Cavedo Anne Bell Challender Jeanne Chapman Jean Elizabeth Chesley Barbara Lee Chisholm Ethel Rector Chrisman Katherine Kennedy Clark Jane Marie Clatterbuck Mae Fern Coldren Evelyn Jean Coldwell Jane Meade Cole Betty Jane Collins Helen Trexler Compton Nancy Lee Cooley Virginia Howard Cooper Soj hofnorc 124 Dclphia Joyce Corbetc Jane Lindon Cornwell Frances Vaughan Cox Nancy Coyle Catherine Frances Craig Constance Hepburn Curtis Barbara June D ' Armond Carrie Elmyra Davis Nancy Elizabeth Dawley Jeanne Downing Florence Arlene Dutcher Vivian Irene Dale Mary Sue Dunaway Peggy Lou Dunton Alice Louise Durham Ellen Deniott Dyer Justine Rosena Edwards Jean Dorris Eisenhaure Louise Corling EUett Kathryn Mitz Elsden Class 125 Ingrid Lillian Engstrom Marian Elizabeth Fadeley Grace Laura Firsching Carol Janet Fittin Marcia Holton Fletcher Helen Roberta Foley Marie Antoinette Fowler Jane Page Fox Mary Ann Fravel Rebecca Ewan Fristoe Annie Dibrell Fulcher Sarah Margaret Fulton Vivian Mae Fulton Joella Gardner Yanina Giera Frances Anne Gill Ruth Blake Gilmer Kathryn Anne Glazier Winifred Couch GofF Isis Moraima Gomez Sophomore 126 Helen Joan Goode Billie Gene Goodson Ellen Elizabeth Goodrich Hattie Bruce Graham.

We couldn ' t find any place to put our clothes or to set up our vast collection of photographs; we couldn ' t remember our suite- mates ' names or when the next Y, AA, or Freshman Orientation meeting was, and when we found out from someone else we couldn ' t get there. The ever-present saving grace was that our suffering was widespread, and that there was al- ways someone with whom to mourn the lost advantages of a quiet, secure life at home ! When that reign of anguish subsided, we began to look around us, and we found our first great happiness at Mary Washington in the beauty of the hill. By then, fall had turned our woods into a flamboyantly beautiful scene splashed with warm scarlets and yellows. The bright autumn trees outlined against a clear blue horizon between the pillars of Seacobeck made an unforgettable memory for us. We began to make friends and, with unceasing attention and help from Big Sis- ters, faculty advisors and Student Government, to understand and love our college, its aims and tra- ditions. The election of class officers was our first group movement, and it was then that we first thought of ourselves not just as freshmen in col- lege but as The Class of 1949. The trials of examination week past, Christ- mas holiday brought us the glory of being mem- bers of that immediately recognizable group on the train and of having our names in the home- town paper. When we came back to school, eager and rested, we found to our unexpressible delight that we had the distinction of being second quarter freshmen, and were exalted in being able to direct a confused newcomer on her way to Monroe. We discovered then and there, with proper discretion, we could study and take part in our clubs, too, and began to find life ex- citing outside of the classroom and our dorm. Forums, benefits, and dance week-ends all claimed our attention and we began to feel quite collegiate — enough so to be amused when we remembered ourselves in that first week. We discovered, too, that a sense of duty and responsibility toward Mary Washington was active in us, and wondered if we might not be beginning to grow up. So the days passed quickly into weeks, and weeks vanished in the quarter, as the snow and ice vhich had made our woods a glittering, unreal fairy domain vanished and the winds grew warm. Spring came with more exams and, of course, the rewarding vacation and we felt as though we ' d lived here all our lives, those things were so easily accomplished. The horse show. May Day, and freshmen bene- fit, glorious customs all, made our third quarter a spring to be remembered, happily, into old age. We looked, then, at our hill, grown green and lovely, at a stately white-columned building, aged and warmed by the dark green ivy twisting on its walls, at our friends ' faces over the candle- light at dinner and knew that an important part of us, of our lives, was here — that something had been shared, something given and something taken, that the beauty, comradeship and knowl- edge that we had found at Mary Washington would be our cherished and imperishable trea- sures always. 140 Freshman Class Officers President Sara Bowser Vice-President Barbara Watson Secretary Ann Dulany Treasurer Jo

Fresh man .ominission Another year — another Commission — and so much excellent material for forming an organiza- tion to further the purpose of Y on the Hill. After having taken several weeks to get ac- quainted the Commission elected its officers and began discussing plans for the annual doll show. And what a show ! With Thanksgiving holidays interrupting the initial Doll Show plans, and exam week coming up soon after, everything was very rushed and exciting up to the last minute. It was hard for the judges to come to a decision, but Betty Jean Curry ' s group triumphed by carrying off the high honors of the evening with the cud- dliest, most playable doll. This was just one of the activities we enjoyed during the year. We shall never forget the social gatherings — and our hostessing at the Y teas. Our main purpose has been to help the new stu- dents become acquainted with the various activi- ties of Y and to encourage their interest and participation in Y program. We have worked during 1945-46 with this as our goal and have found ourselves richer because of the friendships we have made and memories we have shared.

The memibers in the Classes of 1944 and 1945 have shown us well that service and recognition of this kind go hand in hand. We have tried to continue their activities and develop new projects which we think might in- crease in some way the social, intellectual, and spiritual growth of our fellow students. Con- ducting the freshman orientation program on campus customs and traditions, publishing the second edition of the St udent Directory, present- ing a series of lectures by Dr. Elizabeth W. Baker on Parliamentary procedures, and career confer- ences with alumni and students, have been our contributions to college life this year. As we look to graduation, we also look to our future members. Chosen on the basis of scholar- ship, leadership, personality, and service to the school, the new members will bring to Cap and Gown new ideas and new plans. We hope that, in return, they will gain new abilities and new joy in living.

Those who are selected to be on the staff receive valuable training as announcers, actresses, engineers, and script writers — training which will prepare them for jobs in radio. Campus Chest OFFICERS Chairman Anne Tredway Secretary Jane Edmonds Treasurer Mary Jane Lindenberger Publicity Chairman Jean Crotty Sponsor Miss Margaret Swander Once again Mary Washington girls, in a spirit of brotherhood, contributed to the annual Campus Chest. Though we did not soar to the goal our expectations had set, we gathered a substantial sum to be distributed to various local, national, and international organizations, such as the World Student Service Fund, Tuberculosis Association, Thanksgiving White Fund, Community Fund, and British Refugee Children ' s Fund. Our main interest was in the students all over the A ' orld who so urgently need our help. We are proud to know that our small contributions will aid them to continue their education. We hope next year our challenge will be met more wholeheartedly. iSi ' -Akx .X Athenaeum OFFICERS President Rita Wrigley Vice-President Jane Gray Tiller Secretary Nancy Robertson Treasurer Doris Mingin Historian Roberta Foley SPONSORS and Mrs. Rollin H.

International Relations Club In this year just past, the words International Tidations have come to mean more to us than ever before. During the war our activities were necessarily curtailed, and we were kept quite busy just keeping ourselves informed on the current situation. But now that long-dreamed-of Post- war World has arrived, and through our club we have been able to better understand what the late Wendell Willkie meant by his term One World. The world has indeed shrunk and we must learn to live peaceably in it. The International Relations Club, under the capable leadership of its president, Katherine Knight, has added its bit in fostering better re- lationships and in educating the entire student body by sponsoring guest speakers. The most out- standing event of the year was our trip to Wash- ington where we visited both the Senate and House of Representatives, as well as the Supreme Court. Yes, on looking back in revie v, all the mem- bers might well be proud to say I belonged in this year which will go down in history as the beginning of the Atomic Age.

That ' s a familiar call to the members of Mary Washington Players, one of the most active and largest clubs on the Hill. Actresses, stage hands, make-up artists, business and publicity girls, lighting technicians, costume mistresses, directors — all have their place in the players. Every girl who senses the glamor of the stage participates in all of the dra- matic activities on campus. Apprentices and mas- ter members alike have equal opportunity in the productions sponsored by the players, and this fall the college witnessed a series of one-act plays acted by new members and directed by experi- enced players. The two major productions of this group proved to be outstanding successes, and once more the players rang down the curtain on a profitable year. Modern Portias OFFICERS President Lois Coleman Vice-Presideyit Jane Gray Tiller Secretary Barbara Good Treasurer Kate James Publicity Marilee Hicks Sponsor Dr. George Earle Sh ankle Studying the classics of yesterday, the Modern Portias keep their minds attuned to today — striv- ing to create in turn, and keeping abreast of hter- ary achievements of both national and inter- national importance. Not only are these English majors and minors of junior and senior rank in- terested in the wisdom of the ages, but they are equally interested in discovering what the women of today are doing to further this quest. Modern Portias gather together for the purpose of becoming acquainted with and appreciating the great works of literature. Meetings resound- ing with the spirit of literary criticism and mod- ern ideas result in a mingling of the old with the new, as we strive toward the art of graceful living.

Con- sequently, Pi Sigma Kappa finds correct speaking ability conducive to a well-rounded and pro- ductive personality. This club offers each indi- vidual member an opportunity to improve her speech and to instruct others in the art of correct speech, interesting content, and good presentation.

Here the band displayed its precision, abil- ity, fitness, and splendor in the parade at Griffith Stadium. On the campus the band provided music for a local high school football game and chapel pro- grams. The band has had a most satisfactory year and is anticipating greater achievements in the future.

In addition to the enjoyment and cultural value to the members themselves, the Glee Club con- tributes to many occasions on the Hill through solo and small ensemble work, and performances by the entire group. One of the outstanding concerts of the year is the annual Christmas Carol Program which always draws a large audience of students, town people, and out-of-town visitors. In the spring, a formal concert is given, usually on a Convocation evening. The services of the Glee Club are not limited to the campus, for this group of singers responds to requests for musical programs from local and state organizations, churches, and radio per- formances. The director is Miss Marion Chauncey and the accompanist is Miss Irene Taylor.

The Cavalry represents a disciplined group of horsemen who, at either work or play, never lose that fine spirit of sportsmanship or the comradely manner in which they work together.

W. C. girls may be seen riding in the ring at Oak Hill Stables, or cantering along woodland trails, or participating in one of the four horse shows held every year. In the fall, new jocks are initiated to riding via the experienced backs of Joe, Prospect, or Gladsom, horses whose unfailing good manners and gentle dispositions have long served to build up confidence and skill in beginners. In November, the Junior Riding Club, which consists of Fredericksburg youngsters, conducts a show in which the excellent horse- manship of these junior riders vies with that of the ad- vanced college girls while hopeful parents and excited classmates hang on the ring fence. Winter brings icy weather, which is soon forgotten irii riding along a frozen ridge under snow laden evergreens while the waters of Hazel Run, bubbling and falling over rocks, wind through a ravine far below. Winter also brings fox-hunting, a sport loved by every rider -who has ever followed the hounds on the devious and elusive trail of the fox. After a day ' s hunting, jocks, exhilarated by a long run with plenty of fences, logs, and ditches to add to the general excitement, hack their mounts back to the stables to dismount on numb feet and trek back to college where they discuss every detail of the hunt over a welcome dinner. Gradually, drizzling rains, budding trees, and the earthy smell of recently plowed land, announce the ar- rival of spring. In early April, the Oak Hill Hunt holds its annual Hunter Trials, at Snowden Farm, in which college girls compete over a difficult hunter course set up in a green field enclosed by glistening white fences. During the spring, every class takes at least one breakfast ride, at sunrise, over trails lined with dogwood trees in bloom and returns to a hearty breakfast at the clubhouse. In May, jocks begin diligently to practice figure eights, hacking, and jumping, in anticipation of the biggest equestrian event of the year, the Spring Horse Show. On rainy days, they sprawl around an open fire in the club- house, while Mr. Walther lectures on the conformation of the horse or some other phase of the fascinating sub- ject about which there is always so much to learn. When the big day arrives, jocks spring out of bed at dawn to see if the day will be a clear one before going out to braid manes and tails on horses already glistening from a week ' s rest and constant brushing and currying. Finally, the classes, which are judged by some of the most eminent horsemen in the United States, begin, and good horse- manship is rewarded by blue, red, yellow, and white ribbons, while the champion rider is awarded a silver cup. Thus, another year ' s work and fun is brought to a climax and a close.

Many a Sunday afternoon has been brightened by pleasant hikes along the riverside, tours of Fredericksburg, and trips to nearby Alum Springs and Hazel Run. We ' ll never forget those pleasant evenings spent around the camp fire at the cabin, and our simple enjoyment of nature at its loveliest. With Dr. Pyle as our sponsor, we have enjoyed a wonderful year, and we will ever cherish memories of the fun and friends made in our organization.

The mermaids numbered about thirty with Love Wohnus, as the able president, Dorothy Marvin, the vice-presi- dent, and Ann Tilton, the secretary-treasurer. Initiation went off with a bang and then all of the girls settled down to some real hard work. Work is what we called it, but really it was fun for all because it meant practicing up for the Exhibition, Aquacade, and last but not least the Southern and National Telegraphies. Miss Leonard, the club ' s sponsor, did a grand job with her timely sug- gestions and leadership, so big things were defi- nitely expected when we swam off those Tele- graphics. Be sure to watch for glad tidings on the performance of all these Neptune lassies who swim with such grace and ease and with the speed of the best of fishes in the years to come, because they won ' t let you down ! r ABRAHAM LINCOLN Bust from which Mr. Niehaus made many sketches of the President.

Alumnae These two Alumnae of the Mary Washington College National Association are high-up officials who arrived on the campus one day in spring — Mrs. Charles S. Payne, President, and Miss Betty Dupre, Publicity Chairman — to plan for the Homecoming on the week-end of April sixth and seventh. (They look the part of stylists on pa- rade!) The only reason the other officials in the upper bracket are not in the picture is solely be- cause they did not come at that same time when the official photographer was scurrying round about for the best shots for the 1946 Battle- field. That was a great heart-warming week-end for Mary Washington College when her daughters came trooping back; the dogwoods seemed to be a-bloom with fresh abandonment, gala of mood, in their honor. It will be yet a greater day when this rank and file of a by-gone day come trooping back again, and yet again. The. Seniors Pull Doivn the Shades successfully. ' The Waltz of Flozuers . . .
