SEACOBECK - A PREFACE N THE BATTLEFIELD OF 1948 we have attempted to compile a book which departs shghtly from the precedent of former years. Our emphasis has been mainly upon the interests and activities of the students themselves, and through this we hope we have presented a comprehensive picture of hfe at Mary Washington College. Group pictures of the facuky, a new Beauty Section and an enlarged section devoted to informal Student Life have helped us to accomplish our main goal The latter section, with its behind ' thcscene shots of student activities, IS a vivid reminder of big and small events in the vear that has passed. We sincerely hope that m THE BATTLEFIELD OF 1948 we have given the student a full and satisfying record of her days at Mary Washington.

This division of Mary Washington College, though centered in the offices lining the corridors of George Washington, extends its influence over the whole of the campus and even to the vari- ous sections of the states from which its students come. Behind the staff itself, the responsibility of administration rests with the rarely-seen Board of Visitors. Yet the policy on such college matters as curriculum, buildings, faculty and staff generally is left in the hands of the President. The Dean acts, above all else, as the academic arbiter of the school, working in conjunction with heads of the various de- partments. Prospective students are considered by the Director of Admissions, who examines their qualifications for meeting the requirements of the college. The Registrar not only is respon- sible for the keeping of all records, but also provides information about schedules and aca- demic standing. TheTreasurerhandles all college financial matters and heads the student bank. The general morale of the entire student body is dependent upon the Dean of Women, who supervises the social life of the campus and schedules the calendar of events. The Office of Student Personnel is a general clearing house for student problems and adjustments. Further, the office acts as a vocational guide for Seniors, and arranges interviews with pro- spective employers. Finally, the Office of Public Relations publicizes the activities and achievements of the college. Louis C. Guenther, Registrar To keep the records straight . . . Edgar E.

Such a question can arise only in the mind of one not familiar with Mary Washington, for upon turning this page, all students will immedi- ately recognize the faces of our dormitory director and hostesses. Such an integral part of our college life can hardly be found on campus. Many students never realize the difficulties and responsibilities of a house mother, simply because, in a quiet, capable fashion, each car- ries out her duties to perfection. She is on call day and night to administer to the needs of students in case of sickness or emergency. Countless times in every day does she attend to matters which make dormitory life smoother for everyone. We shall always remember the indispensability of our hostesses — the vital part they played in our days at Mary Washing- ton. Mrs. Cordie E. Miller Mrs. James C. Love Mrs. Pearl H.

NIETZSCHE As the Chiss ot ' 48 sees its college years end, it is not without regret that it prepares to be welcomed (as the President ot Harvard says to the Senior class e erv graduation day) into the compan ' of educated gentlewomen. The ascent to this climax of our college years has been arduous and long, but filled with pleasures and many rich experiences. To mention them all would be impossible; to list a tew is to subordinate perhaps the most im- portant ot all. The close association with our professors and the accumulation of knowledge we have gained from them; the contacts with our friends and fellow classmates; the school spirit of Devil-Goat Days, basketball games, song contests, and Lovalty Nights; the pride we feel when we sing our alma mater — these have made the past four years the most memor- able of our life. Remembering is the privilege of a Senior, and as we look at the familiar walks, the classrooms, and the dormitories where not so long ago we lived as underclass- men, we recall with something of nostalgia the deep-rooted memories of our years. L ' nder the leadership and guidance of Betty Ann Smith, class president, and Miss Turman, sponsor, we organized our Freshman class. Sophomore year Sarah .-Vrmstrong was presi- dent and Dr. Pyle, sponsor. Lois Saunier and Dr. W ' hidden, class president and sponsor, respectively, served the Junior class and were re-elected our Senior rear. Our benefits always one o( the most repre- sentati e incidents of our college vear have had the enthusiastic support of ever ' class member. Peeping Backwards, the initial effort toward the ' 48 ' s college shows, gave M. W. C. a song whose catchy tune and Ivrics made it popular with all classes. Fantastic Takeofl, Sophomore year, added new quips and songs to the repertoire of the college. This was followed by the traditional beautv con- test, The Caliph ' s Quest. The Senior bene- ht, State of Reunion, foi- which the prize comics of the Class of ' 48 had long been wait- ing, was a howl of revived Joe Millers and sparkling ad-libbing. From the olive-drab war years to the brighter years of peace, we have come to that dav which marks the beginning of a new phase of our life. The scroll of parchment m our hand is our ticket to tomorrow — the ensignia of four years of endeavor and many more of planning. Not the parchment itself but what it represents is our standard. It is the reward for our climb up the mountain ot ti ' uth; therefoi-e, in truth, we have not climbed in vain. And so we close our exciting, never monoto- nous story. An adventure tale, a romance, a melodrama all has been unfolded in this novel.

It seems only yesterday that we entered the gates of Mary Washington College as Freshmen. Our fears of homesickness vanished during those first busy days. Everyone had a smile and a friendly Hello for us, and with a crowded schedule of activities, we soon felt right at home. Our Big Sisters made things easier for us and later we remembered them with gratitude. It was with great anticipation that we looked for- ward to the Kid Party, Devil-Goat Day, and Peanut Week. L ' nfortunatelv, our beneht could not be presented due to wartime conditions. The following year, however, under the able leadership of our class officers and our sponsor, Dr. Martin, we produced our hrst beneht. The Big Wig, which was a great success. It was this year that the Class of 49 adopted a Euro- pean orphan and, with the wholehearted co- operation of all, succeeded in sending her gifts throughout the vear. Wearing our maroon and white beanies and full of Mary Washington school spirit, we pre- sented our Sophomore skit during Yram Week. The Lovalty Night service ending that week was an impressive one in which each of us felt proud to participate. In 1947, the hrst year that Westmoreland, Marye, and Brent were open to Juniors, we moved into these dormitories. Yram Week rolled around again, and our pi ' ogram featured The Enlightened Eleven, portraving Mary Washington College of the future. Thanks- giving came and went, and the excitement of Christmas was upon us. This year again we collected money for gifts to be sent to our little orphan friend. The latter halt of our Junior vear was a busy one. Exams, descending upon us like a plague, took on a new significance, for we were now lighting for the cherished classification of Seniors. We contributed two lo cl - and origi- nal songs to the 194S Song Contest. We battled with our sister class, the Freshmen, to out- Devil the Goats. And then came our beneht, the traditional Beauty Contest. The Junior Ring Dance was the grand event of our past year, for it was then that we re- ceived the ring which is a token of three happy years filled with poignant memories. But this ring is not only a symbol of achievement, it is also a promise of the year to come, when it will mean the fulfillment of our goal. 89 90 Dr. Insley, Hopkins, Spnt gs, Myers, SLliookraft SOPHOMO%E CLASS OFFICERS President ....

returned to Mary Wash- ington looking forward eagerly to another bigger and better year. No more treks from ofF-campus homes and Cornell to face, no more bewilderment and homesickness — only the expectation of the happy year ahead. We became part of the college; we helped the Freshmen, proudly displayed Little Sisters, greeted old friends, made new ones, introduced as a class during Yram Week, and gloried in living in Virginia Hall and Betty Lewis. We walked familiar paths to Monroe, Chan- dler, G.W. and the Library, had cokes in the C Shoppe, became acquainted with new pro- fessors, and got used to the idea of being on the lowest rung of the upperclassmen ' s ladder. In no time mid-terms were upon us and lights flooded the windows until midnight. Thanks- giving came and then it was onlv nineteen days ' till Christmas. We counted, then re- counted; we blacked out days on the calendar and worried over the right gift for hhn. Amid the confusion Peanut Week was launched. The new exam schedule was posted and everyone was planning when she could leave. Finally the day — December 19 — arrived. Christmas was everywhere. The trimmed tree in the circle reminded us of a Currier 8c Ives print. With a flurry of best wishes for Christmas we left Mary Washington to see the year out with our families. 1948! A new year and new resolutions. We returned full of holiday memories which we reluctantly put aside for exams. The new semester brought a new set of cuts, invitations to dances, wonderful lyceum pro- grams, special week-end dates, Devil-Goat Day, and snow that turned Mary Washington into a winter wonderland. Spring holidays left us refreshed and ready to put the hnishing touches on our benefit, which was presented April 10. This accom- plished, we settled down to end a perfect year. Proud to be a part of Mary Washington, we, the Class of ' 50, eagerly look ahead. 103 104 Hardwick, Oliver, lordan, Clark, Swander, Davis F%ESHMA?i CLASS OFFICERS President Sara Katherixe Jordan Vice-Presiiiei t Mary Hardwick Secretayj Eloise Elizabeth Clark Treds irer Barbara Da is Student Goveniuient Kepreseiitative . .- Mary Lee Oliver Sponsor Miss Margaret Swaxder 105 F%ESHME?i Betty Mitchell Aaron Catherine Edna Ash Dorothv Eunice Barger Harriet McCann Beasley Lucy Lee Birdsong Shirlcv Ann Ahrendt Louise Landram Ashbv Jane Tcrcsc Bartley Dorothve Anita Beldon Anne Berkeley Blake Kathryn Hope Allcorn Jacqueline Lou Atwood Anne Lee Baum Lois Armine Bellamy Patricia Ann Bliss Jo Anne Andrcasen Ann Lydia Baker Mary Maddox Beale Betty Florence Billerbeck Marv Alice Bonar Irene Lowe Ahbay Louise Adele Ash Helen Jane Barr Marv Frances Bedsaul Doris Black Gertrude Boiling Alfriend Margaret Joyce Athearn Elizabeth Jean Bateman Roselyn Mae Bell x nne Bleaklev Virginia Ann Allen Carolyn McMaster Bailey Barbara Ann Baute Shirley Grey Bigger lean Arden Boisseau Margaret Withers Arbuckle Jacqueline Elder Baker Marv Jean Beard Emily Sarah Bird Bettv Jean Booth CL II ' 5i Elizabeth Meade Borron Marv Frances Brown Dixie Sccvens Burrus Ruth Elizabeth Carroll Bettv Lou Clift Dorothy Jeneanne Braccwell Charlotte Anne Bruce Janet Carol Butler Frances Virginia Carter Helen Charles Coclin Eddie Marion Brazill Betty Bryant Helen Louise Button Edwina Kent Chapma Audrev Rae Comer Jean Brown Jeanne Mane BurckcU Julia Gatewood Campbell Mardi Alice Christcnscn Bcttie Jane Cook Dorothy Carolyn Bowers Rosellen Brown Nancy Randolph Burton Betty Jo Carruthcrs Anna McBrvde Cobb Rosalie Virginia Branham Mary Jane Bruin Joanne Butler Josephine Couibourn Elizabeth Dvson Coleman Elliott England Brooks Elizabeth Bunnell Patricia Lee Caldwei!

Although we had been forewarned of the new experiences which college life would bring, the strangeness of the hrst few days seemed to envelop and stifle us. Night brought the usual anguished sobs of homesickness and complaints about rules, food, and assignments. However, panic was soon replaced by a deep feeling of awe for the beauty which seemed to glow from each red-gold leaf, each stately column, and each shaded path. Gradually, our breathlessness disappeared and we realized that we were beginning a new life. We were a part of this glorious college. Each of us owes a debt of gratitude to her big sister, who was ever ready to help bewildered Freshmen. Will we ever forget the howling success of the Kid Party? All dolled up in our perkiest pinafores and clutching our favorite Raggedy Anns, we were gayly es- corted to the party by Big Sis. The absurd hgures of our classmates still provoke a remi- niscent smile. At our own Freshman Reception we were formally introduced to the facultv. Later, at the Student Government Reception, we met a number of upperclassmen and danced with our favorite professors. Some of our most vivid memories are of Yram Week, during which we were obliged to wear caps disp laymg our class colors, red and white. The climax of this week was Loyalty Night, with its never-to-be-forg(jtten scene of hundi ' eds of girls in a great circle of candlelight, revealing to us more clearly than words the heritage which was ours. To all of us, our Y groups have meant fun and good times. We remember that wild night at the cabin when morning found us huddled in the corners, half frozen and hungry. In November our class was officially organi- zed, with Sarah Kay Jordan as president, and we were at last privileged to vote. The Doll Show just before Christmas found each group dashing madly about, sewing on a pigtail, stuffing an arm, or putting the finish- ing touches to a costume. Our first formal dance in the Hall of Mir- rors, and our first big week end away from school provided after lights chatter for many nights. With delight we recall our first Thanks- giving and Christmas holidays and the excite- ment of meeting parents and friends at the station. Back to a long spring of hard work, we reached the peak of our labor with the Fresh- man Benefit, where we discovered the plente- ous talent in our class. Fond memories, all of them! With the end of the year came the realization of the place Mary Washington had taken in our hearts. They had said, It grows on vou, and so it did. Proudly, gratefully, and a bit sadlv we close this page of our memorv book, but be- fore us looms a vision of clean white pages which the vears to come will fill. 117 ' «?

In May, just a few weeks before graduation, a Scholastic Recognition Day had been set aside at Mary Washington College. Red, white and pink carnations were presented to Seniors with high academic records. A red flower went to those girls who had maintained an A average throughout their college ca- reer, a pink one to those who had made the Dean ' s List every semester for four years, and a white to those who had made the Dean ' s List for two consecutive semesters.

Alpha Phi Sigma ' s monthly meetings have offered a varietv of excellent programs includ- ing some b ' ' isiting celebrities. There was an illustrated lecture on early Cretan civilization, a discussion on modern art, and a number of book reviews. Because members of Alpha Phi Sigma realize the importance of cultivating a well-rounded personality, their activities have been social as well as intellectual. During the year there were musicals followed by teas and receptions in the Dome Room. And there was a wonderful picnic (complete with hot dogs, cokes, and chocolate eclairs) at the home of Dr. Eileen Dodd, Sponsor of Alpha Phi Sigma.

The aim of the society is the cultiva- tion of good speech which is encouraged by contests, debates, and radio work. Each mem- ber is thus offered an opportunity to improve her speech and to aid others in the art of cor- rect speech habits, interesting content, and good pronunciation. The organization presented a convocation program in the late fall in which its members gave dramatic readings and selections from the works of well-known poets. During the year, the organization holds monthly business and social meetings at which its members, under the sponsorship of Mrs. Mildred Sollenberger, glean a practical knowledge from which they profit when called upon to appear in public. The year was climaxed in the spring when various campus organizations were represented in the annual intracoUegiate speech contest sponsored by Pi Sigma Kappa.

The members of the Mary Washington CJub, who acted as hostesses, dealt expertly with the intricate pioblems of running sucli a large tournament. Other activities sponsored bv the Forensic Ckib throughout the ' eai- included the Dixie Novice Tournament, which was held on the Mary Washington campus in December, and the Grant National Student Assembly at Natu- ral Bridge, Virginia, in April. Mary Wash- ington debate teams also visited a great num- ber of other colleges to participate in their tournaments. It is through these varied activities that the Forensic Club hopes to train the young women of Mary Washington to be effective com- munity leaders and to acquire a lasting interest in debate and parliamentary procedure.

Athenaeum strives to recapture the culture characteristic of the ancients. Its purpose is to foster an active interest in the humanities which form the basis of the western world ' s art and literature. Through a better under- standing of the past, the structure of the world today can be more readily interpreted. Such knowledge of the classics is the sieve through which modern values mav be wiselv sifted. A different aspect of Greek and Roman life or literature is studied each year. This vear Athenaeum has focused its interest on the theatre, developing its theme through reports bv members of the club. As the climax of this study. Athenaeum presented a Roman comedy, Miles Gloriosus or The Swelled Headed Soldier and the Two-Faced Girl.

The club sponsored speakers for convocation programs, and also the Student Federalist group. During the year members attended a conference in Williamsburg on World Government, the regional Conference of International Relations Clubs at Raleigh, N.C., and the annual meeting of the American Academy of Political and Social Sciences in Philadelphia. In working toward a broader knowledge of world affairs, the club hopes to discover the most effective ways of helping to bring about an enduring world peace. Sntiiii : York, Smith.

Chi Beta Phi, a national honorary scientific fraternity for undergraduates, is represented at Marv Washington by a relatively new chap- ter. Kappa Sigma, which was chartered in 1945. Students maintaining a high scholastic average and showing a deep interest in science are elected to its membership. In order to stimulate and advance scientific interest and accomplishments, members keep abreast of current scientific investigation, at- tend lectures by prominent scientists, and par- ticipate in scientific discussions. As an added stimulus to scientific inquiry, the fraternity annually awards a key charm to the outstand- ing member of each chapter. Chi Beta Phi, having gained a foothold on the campus, is now endeavoring to initiate a scientific project which will benefit the entire student body of Mary Washington. 130 THE MATTHEW FOT TAITiE zyMALn Y SCIE7 [CE CLUB Jaimc iculi lUc lujk konn chromosomes Since the stud ' ot specific sciences is stressed in tile classroom, we have found it benehcial in the Matthew Fontaine Maury Science Club to emphasize the inter-relationship and cor- iclation ot all sciences, in order that our club ma ' help to increase the knowledge and ap- preciation o( science as a field of thought. We have done this mainly through group dis- cussion in our monthly meeting, but we often have been fortunate enough to hear lectures by learned scientists. We also have taken club-sponsored trips to places of scientific im- portance and interest, among them the Smith- sonian Institution in Washington. The primary purpose of the Matthew Fon- taine Maury Science Club is to bring together all students majoring in science. Formerly we offered membership only to students of Bi- ology, Chemistry, and Physics, but now mem- bership has been extended to include majors in the fields of Mathematics and Psychology. Besides our regular meetings during the year the activities of the club included a party at the Cabin for the initiation of new members and a final banquet in the spring.

Every student interested in drama, be it whispering cues, planning costumes, building sets, or working with the various technical crews, may participate in the pro- ductions of The Players.

We are grateful for the concerts, recitals, and other programs of lasting enjoy- ment which Mu Phi Epsilon has contributed this year. The Phi Psi Chapter of Mu Phi Epsilon, a national music sorority, was chartered at Mary Washington College in 1945, and its members have shown a great deal of enthusiasm. They pour over the Triivigle, the monthly magazine, for latest activities of clubs throughout the nation, and constantly endeavor to provide more interesting programs for their meetings, and for public entertainments. The achievements and progress of this chap- ter have been a source of great pride to the members of the sorority, whose purpose is to inspire musicianship, friendship and scholar- ship, and to further the development of musical talent.

Executed solely in the medium of modern dance, it was a triumph of that rhyth- mic coordination, beauty of form, and intense emotion which makes modern dance the most expressive of all dance forms. This form captures the essential motion and rhythm necessary for the interpretation and convey- ance of story and emotion. The Concert Dance Club sponsors a Junior Dance group for the training of those students who wish to become members of the advanced organization. The two groups worked to- gether in the production of a beautiful May Day pageant. The members, in presenting their own works, showed varied interests and choreographic abilities. In the spring, the group participated in the Art ' s Forum at the Women ' s College of the University of North Carolina with students from colleges of three other states.

Rustling taffeta gaily waltzes as the curtains open on the thirteen musicians of the Mary Washington College Orchestra. The hours hurry on; the dancers listen as the orchestra plays the closing number of the evening; a murmur of apprecia- tion rises from the floor. Mr. Faulkner places his baton on the stand before him: the college orchestra has completed another evening of music for those who love to dance. Each member takes pride in contributing her particular musical talent toward making the orchestra a successful organization. The saxo- phone section consists of four able musicians: Rosemary Miller and Jean Hawkins play alto saxophones, Jane McCullough and Bobby Hove, tenor. The brass section boasts June Shirley Brandow, Bill Andrews, and Betty Hove playing trumpets; Shirley Cole and Ann McCaskill are responsible for the soft tones of the trombones. Frances Chesson very com- petently supplies the rhythm on her trap-set. The pianist, who so capably lends the accom- paniment to the orchestra, is Betty Jean Lyle. Beating out a steady background rhythm is Betty Gavett on the bass. And finally we must mention the specialty numbers of Charlotte Delano, vocalist, which have always been welcomed bv the audience.

Each year, rain or shine, this orchestra plays for the May Court ' s processional and recessional and pro- vides the music for the Concert Dance group ' s May Day Ballet in honor of the May Queen and her court. The Symphonette ' s agenda this vear was additionally distinguished by a program of Spanish music with several vocal numbers and Spanish dances adding to the atmosphere of gaiety. To the able direction and musicianship of our conductor, Mr. Ronald Faulkner, the or- chestra owes a lasting debt. Through him each member has reached a greater understanding of his individual musical capacities.

This member hurrying into place with her instru- ment tucked under her arm already feels the rush of excitement which the band will create when it blares into view at its destination — the stadium of a neighboring university or perhaps the concert hall of a nearby school. This year the band and its high-stepping majorettes thrilled spectators at numerous gridiron contests in the surrounding area. The girls piled into a bus and rode up to Washington to perform at one of the first games of the season, the Fordham-George- town battle. At the V.M.I. -University of Richmond game, they were guests of the win- ning Richmond team and were royally enter- tained with a barbecue. The band seemed to have brought luck wherever they went, for their hosts triumphed also at the University of Virginia-Richmond game. The band played at several of the games of Fredericks- burg ' s own James Monroe High School and took a prominent part in many campus events. They were on hand for the convention of the State Cooperative Association of Virginia High Schools, they led the parade on Devil- Goat Day, and they played for the March of Dimes drive.

It is a highly selective group and is thereby enabled to present the best vocal talent of the student bodv. One of the most outstanding and best at- tended concerts of the year was the annual Christmas carol program, which consisted of carols of different countries, as well as well- known Christmas songs. How soon the signs of Christmas spirit were in evidence when the first notes of a lovely old carol struck the air! This program drew a large and appreciative audience, including students, local residents, and out-of-town visitors. With the coming of spring, the Glee Club presented a formal concert, consisting of varied selections. The club also sponsored the sev- eral programs and concerts which were brought to Mary Washington by choral groups from other schools and colleges in Virginia. The Glee Club did not limit its services to the campus alone, however. The members were willing to give musical programs in response to requests from local and state organizations, churches, and radio programs. The Glee Club, under the able direction of Miss Marion Chauncey, met for two hours each Tuesday evening during the year. It consisted of sixty-five members who w ere chosen for their singing ability, personality, dependability, and musical interest. During the past year it has been the aim of the Glee Club to present programs and concerts which would be cultural, interesting, and entertain- ing for all those concerned. 142 First row: Gary, Diener, Wackins, Wright, Grieve, Athearn.

Later in the year the members presented an operetta, the first to be given in a number of years. The Choir has felt honored to present several outstanding guests during the year, among them Dr. Luther A. Richman, State Super- visor of Music in Virginia; Ross Rosazza, bari- tone; and Nell Clarke, pianist. The University of Virginia Glee Club presented a musical program and the Virginia Military Institute Glee Club also visited the campus for a con- cert, which was followed by a dance in their honor. Under the guidance of Miss Eva Taylor Eppes, the Choir studies both sacred and secular music, and offers students the oppor- tunity to sing the finest types of music in choral ensemble.

And for those who cling to the mad artist theory, the club attempts to determine |ust when the artist attains this state — is it wlTen he first holds a shapeless wax crayon in his hand, or later when he registers at an art institute, or hnally when he sells his first painting, wherein his soul lies open to the public?

But the commercial majors at Mary Washington College are relying upon their efficiency to make a place for themselves in the business world. Smaller this year, but more active, Sigma Tau Chi has become the center of mterest and activity for those students interested and trained in the commercial held. The members are alert to national, political, and business affairs. They have had several educational trips this year, among them a visit to Washington for the opening session of Congress and an observation of Supreme Court proceedings. The outstanding campus event of the year was the annual formal banquet at the Stratford. This occasion featured speeches on subjects pertinent to the activities of the club. In striving toward the triple goals of per- sonality, knowledge, and skill, the members hope to attain their aim of becoming efficient executives. Sigma Tau Chi is sponsored by Dr. J. H.

These prospective teachers in elemen- tary education are sent from Mary Washington College to schools in various sections of ' ir- ginia in order to beneht from the actual ex- perience of teaching. This unique method of apprentice teaching, used by only one other college in the countrv, has been found in- valuable in preparing the future teacher to meet everyday classroom situations. During this period of apprentice teaching, the club members make frequent visits to the campus to discuss their progress in the held.

In the spring the club sponsored its annual fashion show to help students familiarize them- selves with the new trend in fashions, and to demonstrate the most becoming way in which to wear them. Many of the costumes modeled were designed and made by the girls. Through meetings with other clubs in the state and with the American Dietetics Asso- ciation and the American Home Economics Association, the members evaluate the latest developments in the held of home economics. Speakers, prominent in their respective fields, are brought to the club to discuss such sub- jects as interior decoration, child care, and hotel and hospital dietetics. Members of the Mary Washington College Home Economics Club will never know the humiliation of bride ' s biscuits ; in their versatility they will manage a woman ' s club dinner, redecorate a home, plan a well bal- anced menu based on scientific knowledge of foods, or care for children, all with equal ease. 148 LUMT AE DAUCjHTET S From one nrl lo another ThrtHit h tlic ' cars twirls liavc coiiif ro rlic hill, li cd hci ' c tor a rclativcl ' hfict span ol time, and then t onc rlicir va s, taking wall them a hit ot the college a lieritage of LJianii, courtes -, love, honor, and eoiirage.

Upon a rec]uest granted b - the administra- tion last year, one student body meeting is held every month in order that a cross-section opinion of the Student Bodv can be adequateh ' expressed. The annual formal reception was held in the fall to officially introduce the members of Stu- dent and Joint Council to the Student Bodv. We sponsored Loyalty Week at the beginning of the school vcar in an effort to promote loyalty on the part of every individual student. Besides the activities sponsored exclusively by student government, the association has jointly affiliated with other organizations on Millner, Edwards, Hough the campus in various functions such as the Freshman reception and the song contest.

To make college t iat omt away rom home The Y.W.C.A. of Mary Washington College shall always remember the service and help- fulness, the gaitv and good times, the stimu- lating thought and companionship, the fine spiritual life of Y members. Y is an essential part of our college life from the mo- ment of welcoming by the girls in white (when we climbed the hill for the first time, it was all very new and strange; we were in a foreign element — we were at a loss, and some of us were very lonely. There were only strange faces, but then there was a face that wasn ' t strange because it was smiling, smiling at us. And we were talking with a Y girl, and she was showing us the campus and telling us where to go. And suddenly we felt very much at home) to the moment of farewell at the Senior Tea and Devotionals. We shall remember the days that a Y member would knock on our doors in Willard Martha Warriner, PrtsiJei or Cornell and come into the room and be very much at home.

We saw her on the campus and at the post office, and we were great friends, and so we liked Mary Washington very much. We shall remember the stimulating thought and companionship — the discussion groups, KaufFman, Heller, ' anderslice. Dr. Quenze!. Mr. Darter seminars — all those things that contribute to making our lives more worthwhile. We shall remember the gaity and good times — teas on Sunday afternoons, the Beneht in December, the Freshman Talent Show — all those little thmgs essential to the rounding out of the social calendar of the year. The memories will remain, a testimony to the fun we ' ve had at M.W.C. We shall remember the service and helpful- ness — welcoming Freshmen, Big Sisters, Commissioners, Shells, committees — these serve the students and college in many ways. They add to college life by making possible an opportunity for each student, as an individual, to serve. We shall remember the spiritual life — chapel programs. Religious Emphasis Week, vespers, sings. Sunrise Services, which have brought us the inspiration for better work and have given meaning to each day. The activities of the Young Women ' s Chris- tian Association of Mary Washington College — we shall remember them all. 159 SE?iIOX COMMISSIOlsl A.m iassai ors o goo mil Sitting: Luther, Williams, Parker.

This year they found the Freshmen enthusiastic and eager to get started on tlieir activity projects for the year. Officers were elected and soon after the organization of the groups, the girls began work on their dolls, which were to be sent to needy children for Christmas. There was keen competition among the various groups. The Senior Commissioners worked with different Y committees, and took an active part in Peanut Week and the Y Benefit. Although Y.W.C.A. is a service organiza- tion, work isn ' t the only aspect of the year ' s activities. There were various informal socials for the individual groups, and joint picnics and cabin parties, where, amid the spirit of friendship and cooperativeness. Freshman mem- bers of Y soon became acquainted. The Senior Commissioners have given will- inglv of their time, advice and aid, and it is through them that the Freshmen have come to understand the purposes, ideals, and functions of one of our most powerful campus organiza- tions — Y.W.C.A. This year ' s Freshmen will be well trained to carry on the activities of Y in future vears. 160 FT{ESHMA?{ COMMISSIOlSi To answtr tlic irliy na Y Sitting: iouthweW, Scott, Thimedes- Standing: fint row: Oh er, Wagner, Gtay, Bruce.

The members, the elected presidents of the individual Freshman Y.W.C.A. groups, form the axis for all the Y.W.C.A. projects carried on in the Freshman Class. The group has the responsibility of laying the groundwork for all these activities that go on throughout the vear. Of the numerous undertakings of this group, the Doll Show has been outstanding. The girls in each group made a doll and the Fresh- man Commission put on a Doll Show to select the three most attractive entries. This vear ' s show was in the form of a skit. After the judges had picked the winners, the dolls were given to the Fredericksburg WelfareDepartment, who gave them to the underprivileged children. Another project that the Freshman Com- mission directed was the Clothing Drive for Overseas Relief. A canvas was made of every room on campus and each girl was asked to contribute something to the cause. Throughout all of its activities, the under- Iving purpose of the Freshman Commission is to stimulate a feeling of individual respon- sibilitv, lovalty, cooperation and Christian endeavor in the college. 161 Faith, fncndshiY, and fun As Westminster Fellowship began its third year on Mary Washington College campus, all its members were ready to set out full of fresh spirit for the new year. To begin the activities of the club there was a Communion breakfast early one Sunday morning for all who could brave the cold winds of fall. During the year there w ere manv suppers, followed by spiritually inspiring meetings in which all members took an active part. Supplementing the supper meetings were parties on special occasions, picnics at quiet spots, and joint meetings wdth the clubs from other Virginia colleges held at the Presbyterian church m Fredericksburg. On these occasions the pro- grams were planned to be full of variety and spiritual value and to provide an opportunity for fellowship with Presbyterian students from other schools. The aim of the club was to win students to live a truly Christ-centered life and to help develop in them Christian character and a sense of religious leadership. Members were in- spired to prayer, and at all meetings there was an atmosphere of Christian fellowship, en- couragement, and willing service. Miss Helen Schultz was our faculty advisor, and Mr. Mayo Smith and Miss Lucy Pennell, our church advisors. Thus we have continued throughout the past year, leaving in our wake many duties performed and treasured memories gained. We look onw ard and upward with God as our guide, striving to fulfill our purpose in our every day life. Methodist Church at work on cam ms The Wesley Foundation, an organization for members of the Methodist denomination, seeks to provide for the spiritual, moral, and social needs of students, and to strengthen its members in Christian living and ideals. During the past year members of the Wesley Foundation participated in many conferences of Methodist college students throughout Vir- ginia. There was a conference at Natural Bridge, and a Spiritual Life Retreat at Albe- marle in September, at which George Harper, the secretary of the Methodist Youth Fellow- ship, conducted meetings. Besides the regular officers, the chairmen of various committees make up a Council which convenes often to plan meetings and activities. At the meetings the Council presents various speakers and recreation programs. Members of the Wesley Foundation gain inspiration and fellowship through such serv- ices as the candle-light worship service held in the church on Sunday nights, discussion programs, and the College Sunday School Class. In addition to the meetings, members of the Wesley Foundation participate in many help- ful and charitable activities. During the Christ- mas season the club went caroling throughout the towm of Fredericksburg, and sent C.A.R.E. packages overseas. Members have also done much work at the Negro Youth Canteen i n Fredericksburg, supervising organized games and projects of the children. The girls in the club also belong to an Inter-Racial Sewing Circle, where they do much work for the underprivileged families in Fredericksburg. 162 WESTMrNSTE% FELLOWSHIP PenncU, Potcer, Boswcll.

This group tries to help the Episcopal girls, and all others who are interested, to combine their spiritual lives with their every- day campus activities. This work is done through three basic channels: worship, service, and Christian fel- lowship. The first is accomplished by en- couraging the girls to attend church services regularly and by providing for them, here on the hill, the service of Holy Communion. Service and Christian fellowship are closely related and the group feels that by working for and with others, this is most satisfactorily achieved.

Among the Newman Club ' s activities of the year were a reception and initiation for new members, several conference trips, and a Christ- mas party given for members at Mary Wash- ington by the Newman Club of the University of Virginia at Charlottesville. The annual communion breakfast was held in the spring on Mother ' s Day. Speakers interested in Catholic youth action were often guests at the monthly meetings. On the third Sundav of every month members of the club participated in the Sacrament of Holv Eucharist in a bodv. 165 BAPTIST STUDEl T U?iIO?i The little stone house on College Avenue Firsr row: Dunnivint, Rowlctt, Lewis.

In October there was a party honoring the Freshmen. Each Saturday night throughout the year there were delightful socials at which members sang, roasted marshmallows, pulled taffy and played games. From 6:45-7:00 every night devotionals are held at the Baptist Student Center. The mem- bers are inspired bv Bible readings, prayer. song, and the fellowship of other members. A large group of Mary Washington girls attended the state convention of Baptist Stu- dent Unions in Winchester, Virginia, where the group conferences and religious service of the day were followed by parties for all representatives. One of the main activities of the year took place in March, when students from the Uni- versity of Richmond worked with those from Mary Washington in a Youth Revival. 166 LUTHE%AN STUDET T SSOCIATIO ' hl WorsJupng togetlier Sitting: Mrs. Broughton, Fittin. Staiiihiig: We , Mrs. Boliek, Culdren The Lutheran Student Association is an organization of which all Lutheran students on the campus may be members. Its purpose is to strengthen and sustain Christian students in their faith and to present an opportunity for Lutherans to cultivate friendship and social life on a Christian level. The members are brought together in monthly meetings of a combined religious and business nature. In addition to these regular meetings, the girls find time to enjoy church suppers and picnics. During the Christmas season, members of the Lutheran Student Association of Mary Washington College sent boxes of food and supplies to needy members of the Lutheran denomination in Europe. Holiday cheer and good will were also spread by Christmas caroling at the local hospital. The Lutheran Student Association not only is active here on campus, but also sends repre- sentatives to state and district conferences. 167 Johnson, Harris, Miss Swandcr, Huntsberger, Walton, Dulany, Nash CAMPUS CHEST Over the crest with Cam ms Chest The 1947 Campus Chest drive was launched in early October when Fraulein Verena von Leiben of Vienna delivered a very informative and moving speech on the hardships faced by European students. Following the program Campus Chest Council gave a reception in honor of the speaker. When the drive ended in October, the ther- mometer on the billboard in Chandler Circle for the first time in three years shot over its mark of $3,000. The drive was stimulated by the division of the college into two groups. The white team reached its goal first, with the blue team coming in not far behind. The losers honored the winners with an informal dance and floor show in Monroe gym. Campus Chest is a combination of all drives on the hill excepting the Red Cross, and gives support to such organizations as the College Y.W.C.A., the Cancer Foundation, the Tuber- culosis Association, the Infantile Paralysis Foundation, and the World Student Service Fund. By contributing to Campus Chest, students of Mary Washington are able to share with those less fortunate than they. Although cities all over the United States contribute to community chests, the colleges and univer- sities alone support the World Student Fund. 168 TIED C pSS The spirit of giving The appearance ot little hriek liix-places, inviting some kind Santa ' s gift of notebook and pencil, marked the year ' s first Red Cross project — a drive to give material aid to Euro- pean students. There were three other major projects for the year: a safety campaign, a scrapbook collection for children in local hos- pitals, and the annual fund-raising campaign. The Marv Washington College Unit of the American Red Cross is one of over two hun- dred such units organized on the campuses of colleges and universities throughout the coun- try. These units provide students with an Opportunity to participate m the local and national program of the American Red Cross. Each college unit has a board of ten or more members who make up the operating com- mittee. The Mary Washington board is com- posed of twelve members representing each of the four classes. The program followed each year is deter- mined by student interest, community needs, and college approval. Among the programs which can be developed are blood donor serv- ice, community service to camps and hospitals, disaster relief, first aid, water safety, accident prevention, and home nursing.

The Association ' s fall calendar showed an open house for Freshmen at the cabin — cokes, popcorn and more popcorn! Al- though the tennis tournaments for upperclass- men and Freshmen failed to produce any Alice Marbles, the games revealed potentialities. At the same time the hockey fields were over- run with promising Freshmen. Early in No- vember the grass was neatlv trimmed for the state tournament for which A.R.A. was hostess to the Virginia Field Hockey Association. Even the rain didn ' t prevent several thrilling games between various girls ' colleges. The cabin underwent a magical change and took on a stately air for the tea given in honor of the visiting teams. As autumn leaves fell, so did pages from the recreation calendar — the square dance, Devil- Leary, Shellhorse, Brauer, Sparks, McX ' eigh, Kucera, Woods, Webb 170 Goat hockey games, bridge and ping-pong tournaments, bingo nights, the fall horse show and hikes through autumnal twilights. The ■ Korny Karnival, A.R.A. benelit, was a Halloween feature with spooks and game concessions. Basketball soon swept dormitories and the gym rang with yells of cheer leaders and en- thusiastic supporters. The class tournament ended with the usual sprained lingers and ankles and the vicious Devil-Goat game. The winter brought also those weekends of games and dances in the gym, and chilling, smoky parties at the cabin after sledding down its hills. The spring calendar opened with golf, soft- ball games wath student and faculty partici- pants, tennis warm-ups, a spring horse show, and archerv tournaments. Climaxing the year ' s events was Devil-Goat Day, when class distinctions were forgotten and the only alle- giance was to the respective teams. To re- establish good will after this rivalry and to conclude the year, A.R.A. entertained its mem- bers with the annual banquet. The gaiety of this occasion was matched only by a solemn pride in the knowledge that once again A.R.A. W ' llson, Richmond, Jordan, Sharp, Miss Arnold had fulfilled its purpose: To promote whole- some and healthful activity, to stimulate an interest in athletics and recreation, to create a spirit of good sportsmanship and to cooperate with other campus organizations in main- taining the highest standards of college life. 171 OUTINg CLUB I ' d hike a mile for an outing The Outing Club started the year by in- viting its new members to join a hike in the wooded territory bounding the farther limits of Fredericksburg. Throughout the year the club ' s members hiked through the countryside and visited the historic shrines in Fredericks- burg itself. A picnic was held in the fall and another in the spring. Members shared the pervading Yuletide spirit by having a cabin party soon after the Christmas holidays. The greater part of the Outing Club ' s time was spent in tramping the nearby woods and sharing the nature observations made by Dr. Pyle, the club ' s sponsor. During the year, the manv walks along the Rappahannock and through the woods provided a welcome inter- lude in the routine of studying.

While Miss Leonard, club sponsor, pleaded, scolded, and praised from the side- lines, the swimmers demonstrated commend- able club and school spirit in their long hours of perfecting strokes and dives for the National Telegraphic Meet, at which Mary Washington College made an excellent showing. Although membership in Terrapin is on a competitive basis in swimming and diving, it is not only the potential Olympic champions who have benefited from the club ' s activities. The daily recreational swimming periods spon- sored by Terrapin have provided the entire student body with considerable enjoyment, and have encouraged the improvement of aquatic skills.

Hoofprinters will never lose the store of lasting memories of their riding days at Mary Washington. Oak Hill Stables provided these girls with an opportunity to meet for thrilling fox hunts, invigorating trail rides, and campfire suppers with gallons of hot coffee and mountains of ovsters. The Hoofprints Club was formed to arouse a greater interest in horses, as well as to stimu- late in all Mary Washington girls an enthusi- asm for the sport. That they have succeeded can be affirmed by the large number of specta- tors who flocked to the stables to take part in the stirring excitement of the shows. These White, Jones, Richmond, Murrav, Bailey, Brauer, Gardner, Clark. Absent from fictiirt: Barnes, Batty L ■•=■ ' ' Purnell, Melvin, Davis, Hines, Jordan, Goodloe, Griffin, Bouchee, Noss were the highlights of the year; the riders will never forget the anticipation with which they prepared for the thrilling events. This year the open show, a new addition to the club ' s functions, was presented in the fall. It gave the members an opportunity to ride against top competition, as well as to learn the details of managing such a show. During the year the club also sponsored a Gymkhana and a ' Possum Hunt, and participated in Hunter Tria ls. With the coming of spring, the jocks began diligently to practice hacking and jumping, in anticipation of the greatest equestrian event of the year, the Spring Horse Show. This show was not only the most important activity of the Hoofprints Club, but also one of the big- gest events of the year for Mary Washington College. On the big day the riders were up at dawn braiding manes and tails, and trying to coax prancing horses to behave. Outwardly poised and composed, the smartly attired girls were secretly relieved when the show finally started and the suspense ended. The classes began and were judged by some of the out- standing horsemen of the surrounding area. Winners of the different classes were rewarded bv ribbons, and the rider who had given the best performance of the day was presented with a cup. With this final demonstration of horsemanship, the work and fun of the Hoof- prints Club was brought to a close. 175 Phillips, Mr. Walther, Bartholomew, Bailey CAVAL%Y T%OOP ' Boots — toots — fcoots — )OoXs movin up an own agamr Thursday night in the big gym we still occasionally heard the tramp of marching feet, although the newly-reorganized cavalry put less stress on military techniques. Retaining its old name and its military officers, the new cavalry has expanded to admit all girls who are interested in horses. As before. Cavalry is sponsored by Hoof- prints Club, but its present emphasis is upon promoting good sportsmanship, and furthering interest in riding. The programs for the weekly meetings this year consisted of lectures and movies pertinent to the activities of the club. Films were shown on the techniques of good horsemanship and of past shows at Oak Hill Stables. Still a utilitarian group. Cavalry rendered service on various special occasions, and each member took an active part in every horse show as the girl behind the girl upon the horse. They sold tickets, ran errands for the judges, and set up rails for the unfortunates who didn ' t clear the jumps. Cavalry ' s year has been filled with fun. There was the chuck-wagon supper after the fall Horse Show; the overnight hikes from which the girls returned bruised, cold, and hungry, but in gay spirits; the ' possum hunt; and the scavenger hunt which sent the girls into graveyards, historical shrines, and vari- ous other inaccessible places. But the occa- sions which will be longest remembered were the campfires in the early twilight, where the songs of the girls mingled with the stamping of the horses in the stables and the other sounds of the night. 176 Firstrow: Hardwick, Wilson, Stallings, Lcc, Andreasen, oschcc•.
