The long bitter struggle of a world war is ended. Men are in the process of trying to rebuild civilization — a civilization which must be constructed upon truth, beauty, peace, jus- tice, and freedom. The realization of this ideal is the aim of the college student of today; it has been the aim of the woman student for the past five years. ! nly a short time ago, the torch of knowl- edge was passed from the hands of the man into those of the woman. It was her duty to guard it, to keep the flame alive, to re-vitalize it with her own ardor and strength of purpose. She has done ' ' Is t task well. The flame is still burning brightly, for she gave it her undying attention, her love, and her loyalty. Her determination that there would some day be a world of brotherly love kept her at her task. She applied herself earnestly to all that was placed before her; she achieved the goal set by her predecessors. The woman has always been the helpmate of the man, has shared his burdens, but now her part in winnin g the war has earned her the right to assist in the creation of a new way of life — a way of life in which all the peoples of the world are to be happier and freer. The woman of today is an active member of human society. She is still an honored helpmate, but she is also a lawyer, a scientist, a writer, an engineer. Her opinions and her ideas are sought. She shows originality, ingenuity, discrimination in what she does; she has proved her ability to a skeptical world and has taken her position beside the man. Truth, beauty, peace, justice, and freedom — study and learning have instilled the desire for these qualities into the mind and spirit of the woman. They have taught her to think, to act courageously, to have faith in mankind, and above all, to translate her dreams into actualities. As Mary Washington and the women of her gen- eration assisted in achieving a united nation, so the graduates of her college may well dedicate their knowledge and training to the achievement of a united world. We have a noble heritage from a noble woman, a woman who has en- dowed us with her indomitable spirit and stead- fast loyalty. It is now our obligation and our task, as the women of today, to strive for a united country and a united world.

They give generously of both time and energy while helping us to de- velop into useful citizens, capable of preserving and improving our social heritage. Whatever our interests — in science, in language, in music, or in art — our faculty is equipped to foster their growth. Each of our instructors is accomplished in his field, yet versatile enough to make that field interesting and applicable to our individual needs. Patient and understanding, they are always ready to advise us as we struggle with academic or personal problems. We recognize also how important is the work of the administrative staff in making our college years happy and successful. Its never-ending tasks vary all the way from planning meals and caring for our i llnesses to supervising the finances of the college and organizing our program of studies. To our housemothers we are especially grateful, for they fill the dormitories with a family spirit that is truly homelike. From the time we rush to Chandler for an eight-thirty class until lights out, day after day, from September to June, our college life is richer and more meaningful because of the constant devotion of the faculty and staff to their work and their interest in us. 23 e symBOL of GRflciousnfss floo oiGoiiy DR.

Be- yond lay a new way of life. She hesitated, per- haps lingering to live one moment more in that old life before she passed through the beckoning gates. She was leaving behind so much that was familiar and beloved, but she knew that beyond that bend was a fountain that would pour forth a richness and completeness that she had never known. Suddenly it is all before her — soft green lawns, tall white pillars, ivy-covered buildings, and mossy walks. She joins the steady stream of girls all intent upon reaching goals they envisioned. Chandler Hall, Monroe Hall, and E. Lee Trinkle Library are, little by little, taken for granted. She is swept into the daily throng moving in and out through their stately doors. She is soon a Sophomore, an upperclassman, not yet completely self-assured in her new world, but confident that, now the first hard grind is over, the rest is surely not impossible. Her college becomes something increasingly precious, a place for com- radeship and rest, as well as study. This is her home. But wait! She is dancing lightly down the winding staircase of Mary Ball Hall or on her way from Madison or Custis to classes in the now well-known rooms of Chandler and Monroe. Extracurricular activities catch her up, and she looks forward to the many meetings and enter- tainments. The junior year ends, and the goal she has sought comes in view. Then, glory of glories, she is a full-fledged Senior! The year passes only too quickly as she follows the well-known walks, dreaming of the new life to come, yet at the same time sighing over the past with its laughter and song, its trouble and heartbreak. And here she is again, standing at the foot of the Hill once more, trying to see beyond the bend. This time she is looking back, straining for glimp- ses of familiar faces, calm white columns, and beloved ivy-covered walls. But these are the Past. As before, she faces a strange new Future, but this time the sight is less terrifying. The Past has been good to her — she has asked and received. Surely the Future will be as kind. 51 M lOVIIflTIOn TO flllfODSHIP linD LfflfiniOG SfOIOR CLASS HISTORy Four years have passed since first the panorama of colonial architecture and spacious grounds of Mary Washington College delighted our wonder- ing eyes. They have been happy years for the most part. They have brought to us a better understanding of art, music, literature — the finer values of life. They have brought friendships which will become increasingly valuable. Re- membering the carefree hours and happy cama- raderie, we almost wish we might relive the years. Only for the moment though, for we have imbibed some of Mrs. Bushnell ' s philosophy: to go onward cheerfully, facing each problem as it comes. We have been taught by her that it is the little things that make life worth the living. It is more than probable that none of us will he called upon to do great deeds. Whatever the future holds for us, we have learned at Mary Washington the intrinsic values which make even the seemingly small tasks important. In remembering our four years so soon to end, we find that it is not the big events that made those years worthwhile, but the little, daily hap- penings. Elections, benefits, song contests are spotlighted in our memories, but they are not the stuff of which dreams are made. More important to each of us, in the last analysis, is the spirit of friendliness for which Mary Washington stands. We developed a spirit of cooperation among our- selves that made the big dates in our calendar something more than figures. When we shall have graduated there should be no regret at leaving, for we shall not leave. Each of us will embody the spirit of Mary Washington. It will go with us through all our lives. The beauty of the campus is but the symbol of the beauty found within the walls. We, the Class of 1947, carry it with us as we take into the world the fellowship we learned at Mary Washington. 54 Barker, McCaiisland, Briggs, Burchard, Lane, Dr. Inslcy SEOIOR CLASS OfflCffiS Jean McCausland President Ellen Lane Vice-President Joan Briggs Secretary Wilson Barker Treasurer Prudence Burchard Historian Dr Earl G.

Elementary Education 113 JUfllOfi CLASS tilSTOfiy Once upon a time — in 1944, to be exact — we, the Class of 1948, were Freshmen. From that bewildering, excitement-filled year, we have ad- vanced finally to the status of Juniors, with three full and interesting years of college life behind us. We changed in the span of three years. Under three able presidents, Betty Anne Smith, Sarah Armstrong, and Lois Saunier, we worked our way up toward the final goal. Our benefits progressed from Peeping Backwards through Fantastic Takeoff to the traditional beauty contest. We acquired class colors — green and white — as well as two class songs. We frolicked in Willard and Cornell, and found gracious living in Betty Lewis and Virginia. When we finally arrived in the Tri-Unit we realized that we were only a step away from Westmoreland. We found a new atmosphere of informality and comradeship in our class meet- ings in Ball parlor. We worked hard on The Caliph ' s Quest, our Junior Benefit beauty contest, under the direction of our vice-president, Norvell Millner. The result set a new standard in the graceful pageantry of the event. The climax of our dances, teas, and other social events was the Junior Ring Dance, a memorable occasion at which we received the personal sym- bol of our college experiences — the ring of Mary Washington College of the University of Virginia. Dr. Whidden, our class sponsor, was a constant source of inspiration and guidance to us as we led our sister class, the Freshmen, through the hilarious Devil-Goal rivalries. Yes, our once upon a time story retained its traditional ending. As Juniors, we realized most of the hopes and ambitions we sought, and ac- quired a new and broader outlook on social and intellectual life. With the heritage that is ours, we anticipate living happily ever after, as we look forward to our senior year. 114 BuUis, Millner, Gray, Dr. Whidden, Sa JUniOR GLASS OfflCERS Lois Saunier President Mary Norvell Millner Vice-President Lois Ann Gray Treasurer Elizabeth Ann Bullis Secretary Dr. Reginald W.

Now with a familiar air, we could direct the bewildered Freshmen to Monroe or Chandler, fondly remembering our confusion of last year. We were glad to see old friends but sorry to miss others, who did not return. We began to wonder how the semester transi- tion would affect our quarter credits, but the foremost discussion of the first few weeks cen- tered in the word CO-ED. Surprisingly enough we were able to turn to other niatters such as class elections in which we elected capable officers and a helpful and cooperative sponsor, Dr. Mar- tin. With our fellow-Devil class, we adopted a European orphan. Yram Week ! Our maroon and white beanies shone above the crowd as we, bubbling over with enthusiasm and school-spirit, presented our special Sophomore skit. The very impressive loyalty night at the end of that week made us proud to be part of Mary Washington College. The weeks flew by until we realized that it was almost Thanksgiving. Then we began counting the days and minutes until November 27 when our travel joys were again marred by the coal strike. When we returned, rumors began flying as to whether or not there would be enough coal to last until Christmas. Finally, we were able to settle down and get to work on our much neg- lected term papers which were due before the next holiday. Then the frantic packing and last minute Flave a good time ! launched the Christ- mas vacation. With the New Year we returned refreshed but worried about those fast approach- ing exams. Second semester, we began work on our bene- fit given on February 22. This feat accomplished, we returned to our studies with time out occa- sionally for Lyceums, parties, dances, and those special week-end dates. We cannot conclude without expressing deep and loving appreciation for the generous help and instructive guidance given by our house- mothers, Mrs. Bushnell and Mrs. Love. We will also remember as an outstanding feature of our college lives the great fun and labori- ous hours spent in Virginia and Betty Lewis dorms. Proud and ambitious, we stand at the half-way mark on the threshold of our last two years of college life. With eager minds and happy hearts, we look ahead. 132 Nash, Walton, Wacson, Scocc, Dr. Martin SOPHOdl Oef CLASS OfflCEfiS H.

Our calendar of events kept our homesickness so in- terrupted that we found much time for laughing and getting acquainted. Speaking of getting ac- quainted, that was what Yram Week did for us. Our little caps of royal purple and white further emphasized that we were 650 strong. The Hi ' s and Hello ' s were echoing over the campus. This week reached its climax in the av e- inspiring Loyalty Night service which left us with warm hearts and the feeling that now we were really a part of Mary Washington College. The Big-Little Sister tradition meant so much to us, for our Big Sisters faithfully looked after us those first few weeks. We were their guests at the hilarious Kid Party, where our short dresses, teddy bears, and lollypops made us for- get that we were college girls. Our entrance into Mary Washington College was different from that of the preceding freshman classes, for the 1946-47 session was the first in the history of the college to be operated on the semester basis, and co-eds, though few in num- ber, made their appearance on the campus. Freshmen contributed much to the activities on campus, for we joined clubs, took part in plays, participated in Chapel programs, and displayed our talent in all of them. Our class, under the leadership of our president, Lucille Schoolcraft, made our very first year in college a full one, one which holds promise for a great future. The cabin parties, the benefits, class meetings — all of these have gone to make up our history. But we will make even greater history in the years to come, so hail to the Class of 1950. 148 Miss Turman, Hinckley, Estes, Nelson, Schoolcrafc. fRfSHUlfln CLASS OfflCfRS Lucille Schoolcraft President

This is the feeling of all who are members of the various honorary fraternities of Mary Washington College. Their perseverance and outstanding work in their own special fields have caused them to be awarded a coveted pin or a plaque in honor of their achieve- ment. Alpha Psi Omega, national honorary dramatic fraternity; Chi Beta Phi, national scientific fra- ternity; Alpha Phi Sigma, national scholastic fraternity; Alpha Tau Pi, national professional society; Mu Phi Epsilon, national music frater- nity; Sigma Tau Delta, national English frater- nity; and Sigma Tau Chi, honorary commercial fraternity — all reward those girls who have demon- strated their special talent and ability. In addition. Cap and Gown, the senior honor society, recog- nizes outstanding junior girls by tapping them and investing them with the traditional robe and mortar board which honor their wearers for their leadership, character, scholarship, and service to the school. These groups, then, confer a great honor and distinction upon every girl admitted to member- ship, for it is indeed a recognition of talent and ability. 171 11 Busy ujflLKUifly lo a momffiT of oyin BfBuiy Armscrong, Hice, Dawes, Brail STUOfdT GOVffiOHlfflT flSSOCIOTIOH Crickcnhcrgcr, Jones, Gray, White, Myers, Kinsey, Edwards, Hicks, P; HOUSE PRESIDENTS Westmoreland Mary Jane Lindenberger Mary Ball Mabel Royar Custis Ann Barnes Madison Barbara Hough Virginia Jean Kirby Willard Anna White Betty Lewis Irene Taylor Cornell Laulie Richardson CLASS REPRESENTATIVES Senior Marilee Hicks Junior Justine Edwards Sophomore Ann White Freshman Priscilla Gray Town Girls Representative Gene Jones OfF-Campus Representative ...

Its membership consists of commercial majors and minors, who are selected on a scholastic basis and advance through the three degrees of Sigma, Tau, and Chi. This has indeed been a memorable year in our history. Sigma Tau Chi has completed the first steps in the nationalization of our fraternity, a dream that has been cherished since its founding in April, 1940. Now, a desire for accurate knowledge, for better understanding, and for the development of artistic skil l and personality in business is on the march! 186 PI SIGdlfl liflPPfl OFFICERS President Barbara Haislip Vice-President Frances Cox Secretary Jean Abendschein Treasurer Jean Achenbach Pi Sigma Kappa believes speaking ability to be conducive to a well-rounded personality. The aim of this society is the cultivation of good speech, which is encouraged by contests, debates, and radio work. Each member is offered an opportunity to improve her speech and to aid others in the art of correct speech habits, interest- ing content, and good pronunciation. Thus, a better understanding between individuals, groups, and nations can be developed. 187 Seated: Conway, Maguire, Murdcn, Larrick, Conklin, Shankweiler, Fox, Dcrigon, Hicks, Lippold, Murray.

A fraternity for English majors, Sigma Tau Delta has selected its members from those stu- dents of junior and senior rank who have proved themselves outstanding scholastically and in orig- inal writing activities. The purpose of the organi- zation is to promote a mastery of written expres- sion, to encourage worthwhile reading, and to foster a spirit of fellowship among students specializing in English. The Mary Washington Chapter, which has as its goal the stressing of cultural values and activi- ties, planned the year ' s activities on the basis of monthly meetings, where literary masterpieces were discussed informally. 188 Seated: Buckham, Butler.

Managed and operated by students for students, the staff and the members of the WMWC Mike Club have placed this station at the service of the college, offering programs for the assistance and further- ance of education, entertainment, and good will. Through experience we have learned what goes into the production of a program. We have lived by the second hand on the clock. We have gone through quick changes and emergencies with rapid pulse and quaking knees. And we have developed an appreciation of radio from the quality of the signal produced to the pacing and production of a script. Convinced that college radio is here to stay and backed by our increasing knowledge of the field, we now see in our hands the potential tools with which we may carve a finer future for radio. 196 flfiT CLUB OFFICERS President Betty Jane Burton Secretary Julia Dooley Treasurer Alene Idema Publicity Manager Elizabeth Fischer Sponsor Miss Dorothy Duggan The Art Club of Mary Washington College of the University of Virginia was organised for the purpose of bringing together students interested in art.

In addition, the Grand National Forensic Tour- nament of 1946, in which twenty-two collegiate institutions competed for top honors, was held at Mary Washington College, with several of the local club members achieving recognition. A small yet enthusiastic group, the Forensic Club is receiving fine training in debate and parliamentary procedure — training which will equip its members to play an active and intelli- gent role in the public discussion of issues and events.

This year our main concern was with the stu- dents of other lands whose homes and colleges had been devastated by war and who needed our aid.

In the fall the freshmen were welcomed with a play day, a convocation program, and a tea. Then there was that memorable trip to Sweet Briar, with Mary Washington undefeated in the Virginia State Hockey Tournament. With cold weather the gym became more pop- ular, with basketball, badminton, and volleyball. Who can forget the Faculty Flames, the Blue Bombers, and the Atomic Bells? And those cabin parties — freezing weather but fun that made one forget the cold outside. Spring brought a surge of activity — Devil- Goat Day, Posture Week, the Spring Horse Show, and the colorful pageantry of May Day.

Special attractions pre- sented by and for the student body during the school year provide entertainment varied enough to suit everyone. The calendar of activities begins with the annual formal reception at which new students meet members of the faculty and administrative staff. The following week brings the Y. W. Kid Party, at which lollipops, teddy bears, and bare knees identify the Freshmen. Next, the Student Government Association extends its welcome at a formal reception. Yram Week (guess what, spelled backwards?) is a brand new custom on the Hill, sponsored by Y.W. Class hats are worn, college traditions ex- plained, and skits presented by the students and faculty. The formal dances are always cause for great excitement. The scurrying around to exchange dances, the distribution of blind dates, and the loveliness of the ballroom decorations are all an integral part of any dance week end. The many teas and receptions during the year provide delightful opportunities for social con- tacts with the faculty, the leaders among the various organizations on campus, and, of course, the male members of our student body. The class benefits never fail to bring out the talent abundant in every group. The original ideas of the amateur producers, directors, and actors are a constant source of amusement both to the participants and to the audience. The fall and spring horse shows and the Gymk- hana are important athletic events at Mary Washington. Since riding is ever popular, these exhibitions of horsemanship are well attended. The Ring Dance is a long-awaited event in the lives of the Juniors, marking the end of three years of those happiest days of our lives. For the Seniors the final dance is even more an occa- sion of conflicting emotions as they approach the end of their college days. May Day is outstanding among the year ' s events. The selection of Queen, Maid of Honor, and May Court is a source of spirited discussion. The final pageant, beautiful in its delicate spring colors, is a fitting climax to the year ' s activities. 205 uiHiTE coLymns lo ihe mum BflTTLfflHO Martha Ann Bradley Editor-in-Chief Gilmer, Worsham, Meyer, Hoggard, Glazier 208 STAFF Editor-in-Chief Martha Ann Bradley Business Manager ...

The last issue of the weekly college newspaper has been published and distributed. The Bullet took on a new look during the past year. The Flag was changed from script to Old English. This nameplate was moved from its regular position from time to time, thus vary- ing the appearance of the front page which is the show window of the newspaper. The cartoon-minded chuckled over Primm ' s Pennings, a regular feature in every paper. Each issue contained, in addition to news of extra- curricular entertainment, little known facts about professors and their classes. Occasional eight-page issues replaced the usual four-page paper. Sports were strengthened, and the feature section. Campus Candids, took on added spice. The Bullet staff of 1946-47 was the largest in the history of the paper. Sixty girls and one man, the staff photographer, helped write the stories, take the pictures, read the proof, and distribute the papers. . . . And now The Bullet has been put to bed to slumber peacefully during the summer and awake once more in the fall of 1947 as the weekly newspaper of Mary Washington College of the University of Virginia. 3n, Baylis, Horn.

There is an opportunity for every girl inter- ested in dramatics to take some part in the productions sponsored by the Mary Washington Players, no matter what her major course of study may be. But producing plays, which takes hard work, is not the only activity of this club during the year, for there are parties and picnics which comprise the social side of the club ' s activities. The chief aim of the organization, however, is to provide dramatic entertainment for the entire school. 214 Heller, Jaekson m CROSS OFFICERS Chairman Nancy Dawley Vice-Chairman Ann Jackson Secretary Lucy Anderson Treasurer Betty Bond Heller Sponsor Miss Lillie Turman During World War II we are proud to say that our unit has been active in the Red Cross work of this community through home nursing and first-aid courses, work with the canteen corps, and production and hospital activities.

In addition to the enjoyment and cultural value that the members themselves share, the Glee Club contributes 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, local 222 residents, 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 perform- ances. The director is Miss Marion Chauncey, and the accompanist is Miss Irene Taylor.

Those Hoofprinters eagerly grasp every chance to take to the saddle. Highlights of the 1946-1947 season included the Fall Horse Show, Gymkhana, ' Possum Hunt, Hunter Trials, and the Spring Horse Show. The Hoofprints Club was organized to bring together the girls on the Hill who hold a mutual interest and admiration for horses. The club ' s activities are centered around the horse, and afford opportunities not only for horse fanciers but for all Mary Washington girls to see and realize the possibilities and the undeniable fun that may be had with horses. Socially, the club has a roundup of members in the stable clubhouse several times yearly, with good food in abundance. As we gather around the fireplace, laughter rings out as horse tales unravel from the rope of memories that each equestrienne has braided throughout the year.

Entertaining spread an infectious under- current of excitement, and we caught a thrill each time the curtain went up. Rehearsing gave pleas- ure both in getting the feel of the music and in perfecting it. We know that music is universally understood.

A Southerner whose family has lived in Virginia since colonial times, his knowledge and un- derstanding of his native land are almost instinc- tive. He was born in Powhatan County, Vir- ginia, and as a boy lived in Richmond until his family moved to Atlanta, Georgia, where he en- rolled at Emory University. Later, he went to the Art Institute of Chicago where he studied for almost five years and in 1932 was awarded a Ryerson Traveling Fellowship. He traveled in Holland, Germany, and Spain, but devoted most of his stay in Europe to study in Paris where he exhibited his work with the Sa- lon Des Tuileries and the Charpentier and Castel galleries. Returning to America in 1936, he made his home at Fine Creek Mills in Powhatan County, Virginia. Since then he has given much of his time to the interpretation in painting of the per- 254 sonality of the American Negro and other aspects of Southern Ufe. He has executed murals for public buildings, and his work is represented in many museums, in- cluding the Boston Museum of Art, the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, the Art Institute of Chi- cago, and the Museum of the State of Washing- ton, to mention but a few. His paintings are regularly shown in the major exhibitions of American art throughout the United States. As an artist correspondent during the war, Mr. Binford exeucted for Life Magazine a notable series of paintings showing the wartime activities in New York harbor. The four paintings that Mr. Binford has made especially for this book have given it an artistic value that will help make the Battlefield an ever-precious possession of all of us who are associated with Mary Washington College. We are deeply grateful to a man who is not only our friend and teacher, but a very distinguished artist as well.
