Tmuluit ih cu 5HINGT0 administration and faculty classes organizations and activities student life town and gown Fredericksburg, is adjacent to the main campus. Part of the house is now more than two hundred years old, and its foundations and eightcen-inch-thick in- terior walls are made of hand-made brick It has been said that no other house on the American continent is more im- portant or better known in connection with military history than this. Evi- dence of the damage Brompton suffered during the war is contained in wartime pictures and is still apparent in the bullet holes which pock-mark the ex- terior The estate, now owned by the col- lege, has been beautifully landscaped and includes a new nine-hole golf course Brompton itself has been re- stored and redecorated and is the home of President Combs. Because of its many historical associations and its stately elegance, it has become to us an incarnation of the past in the present administration and faculty DR.

I 14 I t 15 J administration Long before academic life becomes a part of returning upperclassmen and bewildered freshmen, their seemingly natural position as students has been taken care of by the brains and hard work of the administrative body. The influence of this group over the individual student starts when her applica- tion is first approved and does not end until she receives her diploma. Although the last word on all college mat- ters is always left in the hands of the seldom seen Board of Visitors, the policy on such Edgar E. Woodw.ard, Treasi. Louis C. Guenther, I{cgistrar matters as staff, buildings, faculty, and cur- riculum is handled by the President with the aid of the administrative group. Student problems, schedules, and many social activi- ties are given careful attention by the admin- istration. We are constantly indebted to this group for a systematic and thorough guide through college. 4 16 administration Mrs. Margaret S.

And here, jusc before Washington left for his inauguration in New York, she saw and blessed him for the last time classes t— sS busy ball at chapel time I 30 Dr. Marcin, Hamilton, Sheffield, Conley, Pitts, Haislip senior class officers President Barbara Wilhelm Haislip Vice-President ....

Going with them to church that first Sunday made us feel just a little less homesick, too. Yram Week — its triendly spirit was a new, exciting experience for us. Loyalty Night — full of awe, we first began to realize the meaning of our college. Devil-Goat Day — such hilarious fun and good-natured rivalry. Footnotes — we were so nervous about our first benefit, but it seemed to go over big. Our sophomore year — what an important feel- ing to be a Big Sister to some poor, bewildered freshman. The Dutch orphan child adopted along with the seniors through the Foster Parents Asso- ciation — how proud we were to have part in such an enterprise. Trial by Jur ' --with spring came our second benefit — e ' en better than our first, we thought! Next year this time we ' ll be seniors! This thought was irrestible throughout our junior year. It was pleasant to look back on two years of ac- complishment, to be but one year from our goal. The Beauty Contest — in Februar ' we enjoyed producing our third successful annual benefit. The Ring Dance — we ' ll never forget the thrill of it — especially having that long coveted class ring slipped on our finger by the man. Next ' ear--how wonderful to be seniors at last! But in a way it frightens us to think it will be our very last year here.

Always striving for what is best scholastically or otherwise, these girls advance through the degrees of novice, ap- prentice and master member. Having advanced through these stages the Gamma Chapter of the national fraternity bids into its membership these highest honored students. Alpha Phi Sigma sponsored an outstanding speaker at convocation, and had monthly social meetings consisting of a speaker, just chatting, or some informal entertainment. BLwkhurr,. Hincs, Window.

They not only enjoy music themselves, but endea ' or to let others enjoy this, the greatest of all arts, through them. In doing this Mu Phi Epsilon contributes several recitals, concerts and other programs throughout the year. In 1945 the Phi Psi Chapter of Mu Phi Epsilon, a national music sorority, was chartered at Mary Washington College. This has promoted nev ' enthusiasm among the members, and heightened the honor of belonging to Mu Phi. In keeping up with the latest club activities they read the Tri- angle, a monthly magazine, which aids in mak- ing their meetings and programs more interesting and entertaining both for themseK ' es and the public. To these girls, whose purpose is to inspire mu- sicianship, friendship, and scholarship, and to fur- ther the development ot musical talent, their continual achievements and progress have been a source of unending pride. With these goals ever in their minds, music will remain a vital part of their lives. I 120 I 1 .... Bsa ll I i- ■ 1 rfW-r- ' .«-.

The organization of Sigma Tau Chi on the Mary Washington campus does not have a singu- lar purpose in the development of ability and efficiency in fields of business. Keeping foremost in their niinds the intellectual and social develop- ment of the indi ' idual and the group, their aims become numerous. At club meetings, where various problems dealing with the business world are discussed, on their educational trips to Rich- mond to hear well-known speakers, and during their informal discussion groups, members of Sigma Tau Chi are hoping to attain skill and knowledge in business, in addition to the satisfy- ing companionship derived from association with others having mutual interests in business ac- tivities. Sigma Tau Chi ' s yearly plans include their annual spring picnic at Doddswood, the charm- ing home of their sponsor. Dr. James H. Dodd, and a convocation program at which a well- known speaker is sponsored by the club for the benefit of the entire college. In addition, the Christmas party held each December provides an opportunity tor pleasant chats and merry times, apart from the business interests of the regular Sigma Tau Chi meetings. Providing a common ground for those interested in current and impor- tant business developments, Sigma Tau Chi repre- sents modern progress. Officers.

These girls have a common interest in attaining a mastery of the English language as well as in developing their knov ' ledge ot literature. Alpha Epsilon Chapter of Sigma Tau Delta was chartered at Mary Washington College in March, 1946, under the sponsorship of Dr. George E. Shankle, for the purpose of organizing girls interested in literary pursuits into an acti ' e and well-coordinated group. The Mary Washington chapter of Sigma Tau Delta selects from the student body those Junior and Senior English majors who have maintained a B average in their major courses, and who have, ill addition, written at least one thousand words lor publication. The purpose of the fraternity on the campus is to lurther interest in English, especially in the field of creative writing. Activities of the year include trips to Wash- ington and Richmond tc5 attend important plays and meetings, one of which this year was the Olivier production of Hamlet. The fraternity also sponsors convocation and chapel programs, at which time well-known speakers are brought to the campus for the benefit of the student body.

The pur- pose of the club is to promote interest among students of French in speaking the la nguage, and especially among students majoring in the lan- guage. Their activities for this year have included two radio programs: one over station WMWC and one over station WFVA. Both were Christmas programs which were made up of carol singing and the reading of the Christmas story. At the Christmas party carols were sung in French, entertamment was given by some of the mem- bers, and afterwards a general tete-a-tete was enjoyed by all. Dr. Jones gave an interesting talk at the be- ginning of the year on his travels in Martinique, and Dr. Stansbury has entertained the club mem- bers with French games. Other speakers par- ticipate in the program throughout the year. A skit presented at an assembly program and the initiation ot the new members were also among the group ' s activities.

This tournament is held under the auspices of the Strawberry Leaf Society, and is an invitational open to all institutions having forensic organiza- tions. 0 er three hundred students from various colleges and uni ' ersities throughout the United States came to compete for top honors. Although the Forensic Club at Mar Wash- ington was unable to ha ' e a debating team this year due to a lack ot super ' isory instruction, the acti ' ities conducted by the society included par- ticipation in the Students ' National Congress, the Dixie Forensic Champions, and the Grand Eastern Tournament. Through these x ' aried activities the Forensic Club hopes to train the young women of Mary Washington to be effective community leaders and to acquire a lasting interest in debate and parliamentary procedure. ff 127 J no place like home The potential husbands of these versatile lasses have a treat in store. The sa ' ory dishes and delicate refreshments served at social functions on campus during the year were usually the handi- work of the Home Economics Club members. With a ' ariety ot things to do, these girls busied themscK ' Cs this year with both fun and hard work. To the local nursery school they sent gitts and aid, and they adopted a school in Germany to which they mailed many articles that children need. It was certainly not difficult for them to switch to the new look, as they demonstrated by their sophisticated appearance in the Spring Fashion Show, modeling clothes they themselves had de- signed. In February new members were initiated. and the whole Club joined together to plan their gala picnic in the spring. To many of the club meetings an outside speaker was brought, at which time the group discussed some of the past and current trends in care of children, business, home, in hospital dietetics and interior decorating. Through meetings with other clubs, with the American Dietetics Association and the American Home Economics Association, the members more readily evaluated the latest developments in the home economics field. The Home Economics Club makes constant progress by promoting friendship and teamwork among its members, and encouraging them to contribute toward the well-being of the home and community.

This year brought something new for the Players, as they joined Alpha Psi Omega to form the College Theatre. It was a bigger step toward finer drama, and aroused greater interest in all. After the exciting performance of A Murder Has Been Arranged, Alpha Psi and the Players joined in giving us the delightful presenta- tion of A Midsummer Night ' s Dream. However, the biggest thrill came toward the end ot the year when the College Theatre gave its wonderful presentation of Philip Barry ' s Foolish Notion. The result of much hard work, it seemed the union of the two dramatic groups had given greater versatility and maturity to the dramas given. Everyone is welcomed into Players and enters as an apprentice. By merit she advances into master membership and from there, aspires to the coveted honor of being admitted into Alpha Psi Omega. During the year there were several parties held, the first being a gala picnic at the cabin for all members of Players. A party was held for the new master members, and their delight in work- ing for something concrete was at last realized. Officers.

The Formal Dance is always preceded by a mid- afternoon Tea Dance, of semi-formal nature in the big g ' mnasium, which goes so gay and giddy with decorations of the season that it almost loses its identity. The e ' ening dance, from nine until midnight, is by comparison quite formal and is held in the Hall of Mirrors in George Washington Hall. Associated with the Student Committee on Formal Dances is also a committee from the taculty and staff, whose members ser ' e in the capacity of sponsors for the dances throughout the current session. The series of formal dances in -ariably are in- augurated by a Christmas Dance whose festive spirit and enthusiasm are characteristic of that season of the ' ear. { 133 } Josephine Wilson (President) Seep right up, ladies and gentlemen . . . just in time for the biggest little show ever to be seen on this fair campus!

As uniformed figures come to attention, the casual bystander may be amazed at the mihtary details in the dress and manner of Mary Wash- ington ' s Cavalry Troop. A disciplined group of horsewomen, the Cav- alry Troop was organized during the war for emergency purposes and is continuing in peace- time as a special service organization. The novelty of the military originally prompted many girls to sign for Cavalry, and sport and compan- ionship have succeeded in maintaining a large organization. The main objective of the Cavalry is to promote good sportsmanship and to further interest in riding. Open to all girls taking riding and to those interested in horses. Cavalry offers the opportunity of working tor the benefit of the group as well as the individual. Aside from their bi-weekly drills and con- sultations, Cavalry ' s activities are numerous and varied. The main event of the year is the exciting Gymkhana, sponsored by Cavalry for the first time last spring, but the troop also puts on ex- hibition drills, both mounted and on foot. Treas- ure hunts, scavenger hunts, overnight hikes, and picnics add pleasure to a program of hard work and painstaking drills. Mary Washington will remember the neatly uniformed Cavalry members as they, in turn, will often remember their many evenings around a camp fire in the early twilight where singing ends a perfect day.

Throughout the school year M.W.C. horsewomen may be seen riding in one of the three rings at Oak Hill Stables, cantering along picturesque trails, or participating in one of the three shows sponsored by Hoofprints. The Hoofprints Club was organized to bring together the girls on the Hill who arc mutually interested in horses and the art of riding. Socially, the club has gatherings in the clubhouse and tack- room several times a year, with gallons of hot coffee and good food in abundance. Highlights of the 194S-49 season included the two-day Fredericksburg Horse Show held in the fall, the Gymkhana, a Tossum Hunt, Saturday afternoon tox hunts, and the biggest event of the year, the Spring Horse Show. In May these gallant horsewomen begin dili- gently practicing hacking, jumping, and figure eights in anticipation of the biggest equestrienne event of the year, the Spring Horse Show, which is judged by some of the most eminent horsemen in the United States. On the big day, the riders are up at dawn, braiding manes and tails and trying to steady prancing horses. Although out- wardly calm, composed, and poised these attrac- tively dressed girls were secretly glad when the show started and the suspense and pressure ended. It is on this exciting day that horses and jockeys are awarded blue, red, yellow, and white ribbons for their performances, and the M.W.C. cham- pion receives a silver cup.

It was the week of October 13 and the thermometer in Chandler Circle was rapidly mounting toward our goal. There was little doubt it would be reached. Campus Chest is the one organization on the hill of which every student and faculty member becomes an integral part by his donation. Every- one is keenly aware of the necessity of contribut- ing to the various charitable causes consolidated in the Campus Chest drive. During the drive the spirit and desire to reach the $3,000 mark was stimulated by division of the college into two groups — the blue team and the white team. The losing side gave a variety program in the spring. A further and more im- portant step in the drive was the presentation of a guest speaker, Harold Friedly, who spoke on student conditions in Germany and the significance oi the World Student Fund. This year Fredericksburg launched the Mary Washington Hospital drive, to which Campus Chest proudly gave half the money they had received. The other half was given to the World Student Fund. 4 144 J Firstrow: Kaufman. ScamJ ro7 Plylcy ilVsidcntJ, D.iwKicit, l)r uclkcl, Griffich, Pace. Doolittlc, Jackson.

The commission, this year headed by Ann Stone and advised by Kit Lee, is comprised of the presidents of the individual Y groups. The group meetings which it sponsors regularly afford an opportunity tor the freshmen to meet one another. The Doll Show is one of the annual projects of the freshmen. Each group makes its own doll and enters it in the contest. This year the com- mission conceived the idea of inviting the chil- dren of the faculty so that they might enjoy the tun of the contest and its accompanying skit. After the show the dolls are given to under- privileged children. Thanks to this group also for Peanut Week this year.

The Baptist Student Union has a year filled with activities that lend to a better Christian life at college. hi October a party was held honoring the freshmen. Early in her college career, the Baptist student is shown the impor- tance of keeping in close touch with her religion. Each Saturday night throughout the year, there were delightful socials at which niembers sang, roasted marshmellows, pulled tafty, and played games. From 6:45-7:00 every night, devotionals were held at the Baptist Student Center. The members were inspired by Bible readings, prayer, song, and the companionship ot their fellow students. The Baptist students meet with other religious groups, attend conferences, and sponsor religious pro- grams throughout the year. At their gatherings in the little stone house, the girls telt keenly the significance of religion in college and endeavored to teach this to others.

The first is accomplished by encouraging the girl to attend church ser -ices regularly and providing for them, here on the Hill, the service of Holy Communion. Service and Christian tellowship are closely related and the Episcopal girls feci that by work- ing for and v ith others they most satisfactorily achieve this. Working in a group at Christmas time, they provided gifts for poor children. Every Sunday night throughout the year, the Canterbury Club meets in the Parish House ot Trinity Church. Dinner, prayers, and religious discussions constitute an evening that closely knits religion with college life. This group tries to encourage Episcopal girls, and all who are interested, to combine their spiritual li ' cs w ith everyday campus activities.

The aims and purposes of this group are to promote the interests and wel- fare of the Jewish student body, to cooperate with other religious organizations on campus in promoting inter-faith understanding and har- mony, and, in general, to supplement college life by extra-curricular interests. As a new group, the Hillel Foundation ' s program has been limited, but always in accord with the three-fold religious, cultural, and social aims of the organization. Religious activities include group discussions which develop a deeper appreciation of the vari- ous phases of religion. By comparing and con- trasting the dilferent religions and their contributions to humanity as a whole, the group gains a cultural perspective. The social activities mclude socials and dances with the Hillel Founda- tions and fraternities at men ' s colleges. Opening the year with a tea welcoming new students to Mary Washington, the Hillel Founda- tion proceeded to schedule their first social at the University of Virginia.

All the wonders and sought-after secrets of the universe would be dis- cussed. Believing that youth is a great time to philosophize, and that students are great philoso- phers, they formed a club. Aside from having good, clean fun, these student philosophers also had a wonderful time, acquired some knowledge, and an occasional wisp of that elusive thing called wisdom. Those genuinely interested in something more than just shooting the bull flocked to the meetings. Usually, two sides were presented, and then an extemporaneous discussion followed. Everyone joined in with proper enthusiasm, every- one ' s opinion was respected. Under the sponsorship of Dr. Kurt Leidecker, meetings were held every second Thursday. Both tangible and intangible subjects were brought to light as the group discussed the inter-relation of philosophy and religion, aspects of good and evil, reality and many other questions.

( 161 J the blue and Hurrah ! Here they come out on the field ! The high-stepping Mary Washington band marching in perfect cadence to the steady precise rhythm of the drums, bringing a kunp to our throats and a new surge of the M.W.C. spirit that makes us say proudly, This is our school and our band. All is not play for the members of our hard- working band, but, in reflecting on their college days, they will remember the fun and laughter that accompanied the many long hours spent drill- ing on the campus grounds, recollecting with pleasure their contributions to the glory that is Mary Washington ' s. During the year, which is packed with activi- ties for every player, the band is invited to nearby schools to participate in the half-time entertain- ment at football games. Trips have been made to Richmond, Charlottesville, or Griffith Stadium in Washington, D.C. One of the highlights of the year is the annual trip to Winchester for the Apple Blossom festival, an occasion which is looked forward to with great anticipation and remembered with even greater pleasure. Although some very exciting trips were made by the band and they enjoyed all the activities of the year, it achieved its success only through dili- gent practice. Every Tuesday and Thursday found the band members hard at work perfecting the First row: Hawkins, Capizola, Weatherly, Hcatwole, Maddox.

A valuable asset tci the band is the snappy ap- pearances ot her drum majorettes. Always in per- fect marching rhythm, they present the intricacies of baton-twirling with constant poise and ease. Every member of the band receives her individual thrill trom the sound ot the martial beat. From each pertormance the band seems to gain a height- ened popularity and prominence. Unity ot thought and motion as well as music is evident in the pertormance ot the band, and this unity is due largely to the painstaking etforts and resourcefulness of Mr. Faulkner, the director, who is responsible for the originality ot all the pro- grams the band presents. lit, M.llcr, Watt Maddo.x, Hawkins, Capizola, Hcacwolc, Wcathcrly ■{ 163 }; ■• :ai Officers.

This gay scene opens the curtains on another dance and another successful evening for the Mary Washington College Dance Orches- tra. The hours rush by and the dancers move slowly to the rhythmetic beat of the closing num- ber ot the evening. The lights on the orchestra stands go off one by one and the dance is over. The vocalist wishes everyone a soft Good eve- ning and Mr. Faulkner turns to lay his baton down for another day. E ' ery girl in the orchestra takes great pride m being a member of the organization and does her best to make each engagement a success. Twelve in number, the girls ot the dance orchestra are among the most talented musicians on the cam- pus, and work together to make the dance orches- tra one of the most popular organizations on The Hill. The saxophone section consists of three ' ery capable musicians; Jean Hawkins and Rosemary Miller, playing alto saxophones, and Bobbe Hove, penot. The brass section boasts Shirley Brandow, Bette Hove, and Jo Smythe, playing trumpets; Shirley Cole and Janice Horstman, gi ' ing out with the mellow tones of the trombones. Frances Chesson is responsible for the rhythm of the drums. The pianist, 4io so willingly lends her talent to the organization, is Betty Jean Lyle. And Anne Lynch playing bass beats out a steady back- ground rhythm. Finally, we applaud Ann Ceglis whose originality in ' ariation, along with excel- lent qualic ' , makes her e ' er ' song a hit anywhere. { 165 J if there ' s a song in A pleased audience left the auditorium, an audience filled with Christmas spirit. The annual Christmas carol program was over and the many and tedious do, re, me ' s they had practiced be- came forgotten in the pride that then filled the hearts of every Glee Club member. This success proved a perfect inspiration for their successful formal concert given in the spring. The Mary Washington Glee Club is one of the outstanding organizations on the Hill which pro- vides many moments of entertainment for the student body and faculty of the college. However, their services have not been limited to the campus only. The members have always been willing to give musical programs at the request of local and state organizations, radio programs and churches. The introductory program of the Glee Club this year was given in conjunction with the Kenmore Association, at which time a number of semi-classical selections were presented. Many local residents as well as a large number of stu- dents were present. The huge success of the Glee Club ' s spring concert was attributed partly to the University of Virginia Glee Club, which joined Mary Washington to present a joint concert. Throughout the year, this organization spon- sored several programs and concerts given at Mary Washington by choral groups from other schools and colleges in Virginia. The Glee Club, too, made trips to neighboring schools to give musical programs. The club is a highly selective group and is made up from the best vocal talent of the student body. Under the fine direction of Miss Marion Chauncey, they met for two hours every Tuesday evening during the year. All sixty- five members Landers, Worsham, Swarm, Guthrie, Grieve.

The Bullet started its twentieth ' ear with a number of innox ' ations, including the reduction ot subscription rates and the achievement of finan- cial independence. A Bullet Junior, written and made up by the editor single-handed, was sent to each of the new students before their arrival at Mary Washington. This carried photographs of leading students on campus, as well as informa- tion an l helplul hints lor the first few busy days ol college h ie. The editors and members of the staff, endeavor- ing to select helpful hints from college papers throughout the United States, sent delegations to several conferences throughout the year. These delegates attended the conference of the National Collegiate Press Association in Columbus, Ohio, as well as both spring and fall conventions of the Virginia Intercollegiate Press Association. The Bullet members are kept busy meeting their weekly deadlines with the latest scoops, and it is only at the end of each year that they are able to relax and fully appreciate the value of newspaper work. Every spring a banquet is held for the entire stafT, at which time members cele- brate another year of journalistic accomplish- ments and look forward to future achievements.

Wcj.chcrly, Haislip, Jordan, Riley honor is greatness When a case is called to their attention, Honor Council serves only as a judicial body which ad- ministers justice accordingly. Actually, every member of the student body is on Honor Council, and has the duty of seeing that honor is an impor- tant part of her student life, as well as her class- mates. Members of Honor Council consist ot t he four class presidents. A fifth member is the House President of the dormitory in which the offense occurred. Honor cards are deli ' ered to the fresh- men at the beginning of the year by Honor Coun- cil. It is in this initial step that a student becomes an integral part of the honor system. Honor Council has no meetings other than those co ' ering cases. Their activities are none except keeping the honor system and its content before the students. Abo -e all, they do not seek to thrust honor into our faces, but rather believe it is steadily becoming the natural builder of a better college. :( 173 J Although Battleheld Park is known CO us on the hill as a place of picnicking and fun, it is impossible to forget the , historical events which once took place [ here. Included in its area are portions of four of the main battle grounds of the War Between the States : Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, the Wilderness, and Spotsylvania Courthouse Among the markers and memorials is a statue of General Stonewall Jackson, marking the place at which he was wounded; and the house in which he died still stands. The Fredericksburg and Spotsylvania National Military Park was established by an act of Congress in 1927, and embraces 2,397 acres of historic and beautiful landscape. The battlefields ha e changed relati -ely little since the period of the war, and miles of trenches and gun pits still remain. An extensive library relating to the war period is found in the administration-museum building at the foot of the national cemetery and Marye ' s Heights. Among the interesting items in the museum are relief maps, a firearm collection, wartime photographs, and numerous .arcime relics Student life loyalty night I 176 a. r. a. s korny karnival What!
