Your touch, confident and delicate, will always be everywhere at Mary Washing- ton. Your personality, electric and gentle, has penetrated the minds and hearts of all who have ever known you here. We will not say goodbye, Mrs. Bushnell, but to you we dedicate this book for the thou- sands of students whose characters have been shaped by your integrity, whose moments were made brighter by your gaiety, and whose lives will always be strengthened by your goodness. FOREWORD It was the warmest winter in ages, this was the year of better living. As Nineteen Fifty approached we felt safer in a gayer, less neu- rotic world. This was the year seniors paused for one last look, and freshmen dreamed of conquering the world. A whole new era was opening. All of us were hoping — dreaming — thinking. Here in prose and pictures we have some of just such thoughts and dreams — from all of you, for all of you. Here may be the recollec- tion of what might have been, the beginning of what will be.

It is they who plan and direct practical operations which lie behind our activities here. From the moment our Applications arrive at M.W.C. to that more distant mo- ment when we hold Diploma in hand, the Administration is functioning in our behalf. Louis C. Glenther, Raiistrar Ldgxr b ooDW RU licasiiiei Policies concerning such significant matters as faculty, curriculum, staff, and buildings are shaped and carried into effect by President Combs in conjunction with this body. Its work also includes superxision and aid in spe- cial student problems, class schedules, and various social activities. Thus the efficient and conscientious endeavors of the .-Xdminis- tration enable us to proceed systematically and smoothly through college. Re-inold H.

The good spirit and fun of Peanut Week . . . The warm sociability of Sunday afternoon teas . . . The Y Benefit, the Freshmen Talent Show ... A quietly inspiring Chapel program . . . Simple and comforting vespers at the close of an active day . . . The profound spiritual significance of Religious Emphasis Week. Yet Y is much more than such things.

Eppes, Mrs. Vera Ross, Marion K. Chauncey, Ronald W. Faulkner MUSIC A junior left her room. Someone was play- ing — she thought banging — the piano. Fur- ther down the hall she heard what could have been the best or worst voice at Mary Washington. At Chapel that day Pop Faulkner ' s orchestra played. It was wonderful. There were a lot of feet tapping to the Mary Wash- ington Stomp. A lot of talent playing good, 1950 music. The kind of music our junior understood. In the late afternoon, the quiet of the li- brary was broken, a chair screeched and some students hurried to the window caught up by the beat of marching music. One girl whis- pered, Funny how much of college life is tied up with music. Remember the first time we heard Mr. Houston? Well, this is really a year of progress, he ' s got a new verse to Jenny. Yes, Mr. Houston ' s Jenny and Mr. Carter ' s Chapel sings. Say, haven ' t they got a new majorette?

Perhaps one of the most outstanding pro- grams of the year is that presented by the Glee Club; the annual Christmas Carol Pro- gram, which has always left a rather inspired feeling in the audience . . . making us love even more the wonderful carols we know so well. The Glee Club, however, does not limit its activities to the campus only, for it is always more than willing to present a program for local and state groups, radio pro- grams, church and civic organizations, and sponsor in-coming concerts given by groups from-other schools in Virginia. The Glee Club gives a highly pleasurable concert itself in the spring, usually made up of light, and semi-classical pieces. This group, directed by Miss Marion Chauncey, surely has the right to pride itself on its con- tribution to our campus.

Under Mr, Ronald Faulkner ' s direction this group has made trips to various schools in and around Virginia, devoting several days each trip to performances of the best-loved popular music for their appreciative audiences. The mem- bers themselves look forward to these per- formances, and even rehearsals, with an en- thusiasm, which not many of the college organizations can contend. Whether the music is jazz or sweet you may be assured that the orchestra will produce a vibrant and original arrangement to entertain you. The opening of a new college session inevit- ably brings a score of girls, who hope to add their talent to this popular organization. It is easy to see why this group consists of the most outstanding music personalities on cam- pus. Each girl does her utmost to make the melodies a perfect blending of harmonies, and this working together is the source of the at- tractive tunes which we enjoy at each ap- pearance. The orchestra ' s performances of this year add to the list of its musical successes made in the past. DANCE ORCHESTRA PERSONNEL Director Ronald Faulkner Trumpets ....

A consistent demand for music prior to and between acts of plays at the college has given the Symphonette many engagements this year, and the familiar tones of these melodies add an excitement to the evening ... a kind of excitement you might feel in some large New York theatre. The Yuletide spirit found its way into everyone ' s heart just before Christmas when this musical group presented selections old and new. The organization has been a success out- side Mary Washington, too, for invitations are numerous from music-lovers, who, al- though unaffiliated, enthusiastically appre- ciate the concerts of this group. Under the direction of Mr. Ronald Faulkner each girl in the Symphonette has captured and retained the spirit of good music and thereby a desire for perfection in performance. Their presentations have provided us all with many enjoyable moments and with a hope for their continued success.

Eating was impossible — no appetite, rolled-up hair, per- fectly memorized lines. Were the lights right? Musn ' t forget to tell Wallace we have to clean up tomorrow. Did that apprentice put her poster in the off-campus room? I ' ll bet Mr. Warfield lets us out of class early today. Dress rehearsal was awful. Too much excitement — red, flushed cheeks, moist palms, a missing prop — too many good lucks. Voices were humming in front of the cutain; the whole world trembled behind. Sleepy, lonely thoughts made you wonder if it was worth getting up that early just to turn on a switch. Still there was something exciting about the empty halls of G.W. at eight o ' clock — something so exclusively radio. Someone walking behind you had her heart in her mouth. She knew enough to throw her voice out, to stand back from the microphone, but the script would shake just a little. A couple of students were already there talking in a whisper simply because there was no one listening. Everyone was thinking in terms of seconds. Eight o ' clock in the morning became terribly important — it was almost time. MARY WASHINGTON PLAYERS . . .

Per- haps it was a long time, but to you Biology never lost its original interest; in fact a great deal had been added. A deft hand now adjusted the microscope, an adapted mind discerned the slides, lab periods seemed increasingly shorter, your pro- jects increasingly vital. Biology came to mean so much . . . hours on a single cell structure ... a little despair . . . unparalleled hope ... a touch of genius, weeks of perseverance. A keener sense of the summation of all life per- vaded and remained. You might never forget observing one small part of a Biological world, and feeling for an instant something of scien- tific truth. Perhaps you realized why men like Pasteur and Koch had never given up . . . you understood in many ways a budding tree and a dying flower. Those precious facts, some would call cut and dried, were to you wonder- ful experiences. The science of plant and animal life . . . Histology . . . Genetics ... all phases were integrated.

But, far transcending all the little things were those aspects of good living . . . the knack of doing things right . . . which would stay with you throughout life. Home Economics covered so many interesting things that might one day be found in better homes. China, silver, linens, reproductions . . . your own personality was alive and found itself in some dream house of tomorrow. You actually drew a floor plan . . . pondered over a budget . . . and learned after all these years you could never wear yellow. You were gradually more sensitive to color, more alive to design, saga- cious about dieting, leery of imitations. Your tastes were suddenly important, your values slowly shifted. The chemistry of foods . . . selecting ma- terials . . . the utility and simplicity of the new . . . the warmth and charm of the old. Here was a practical study that would never forget the principles of sewing circles and homemade pies even when it had become an important scientific field. 134 HOME ECONOMICS CLUB A stitch in time We may not make pies like Mother used to make, but tine I- ome Economics Club is responsible for many behind-the-scenes neces- sities for social activities on the Hill. . . .

At our meetings we hold dis- cussions, and have speakers on interior deco- ration, the care of children, budgeting, and all phases of home economics ... for we know so well the value of training which will give us the ability to make a home truly a home.

Politics, a word that arouses mixed feel- ings, becomes more than an abstract symbol when we are able to contact political systems through their chief exponent. At a time when governmental practices in all countries are of prime concern, we feel it is most important for every man and woman to be well-acquainted with the facts and fallacies of international relations.

Miller ECONOMICS AND BUSINESS Advancements are made in economy, ad- vancements that Herbert Spencer and Adam Smith never dreamed of. Yet, in all parts of the world there remains poverty and drudgery. These are the evils which economists of all times have striven to eliminate. You were acquainted long before with Free Enterprise and Capitalism. System were in- numerable, and the best system seemed an ideal. Purchasing power was a byword of an alphabet era, while a great nation grew on trusts and corporations. International trade reached unequaled heights, and a naive world awaited disaster. You were a part of the most revolutionary and conflicting forces in economic history. The realization that every man must have bread was no longer just a charitable thought, but the ideal on which your nation was built and for which it might one day die. 142 SIGMA TAU CHI A lot to do with the price of eggs The business man today finds himself dealing more and more with the up-and-coming busi- ness woman, who, he realises, is becoming increasingly important to the field of eco- nomics . . . bringing a different outlook to ever-present problems . . . and combining her ability and intelligence with a new approach. Sigma Tau Chi attempts to develop that sense of alertness to all phases of national, political and business affairs ... to promote the interest in and to define the needs of the complex mare which business has become . . . to stress the importance of attaining a happy combination of ability, intelligence, efficiency and personality, along with the know-how which makes a person successful in the field. The fraternity plans a trip to Washington each year, to the Senate or to the Supreme Court . . . and presents a Convocation speaker — a person dealing with current affairs — who may give to all of us a wider perspective of economics. . . . The members of Sigma Tau Chi keep themselves well-informed of trends and changes by discussions at their regular meetings. And what is your wish, Madame Executive? Officers.

Philosophy Dr. Kurt F. Leidccker PSYCHOLOGY You had collected the most fantastic con- glomeration of words, and tried to pyscho- analyze your roommate. But, you were strangely bewildered by the complexity of the human mind and realized just how close you were to something terribly important. Human nature was more than whims and caprices, it was vital and dynamic — at once predictable and unpredictable, at once meas- urable and immeasurable. To you, Jung and Watson and Freud were not just names, but pioneers in a great field that opened almost in the shadow of your life and that would go on forever. PHILOSOPHY AND EDUCATION It was not just an act of fate that you were in a Liberal Arts College carrying sixteen semester hours. Thousands of years before, great men had brought forth great ideas. They had studied the mind and the spirit of man, they stood in the light of truth and looked to the years to come. Aristotle, St. Thomas Aquinas, Rousseau, and many others had found their way and given it to you. You pondered these men whose eyes were fixed on the eternities — you took a step closer to them and to your own philosophy. 144 PHILOSOPHY CLUB Anything from Aristotle to Dewey Philosophy ... a term suggesti e of the ancient sages of Greece and Rome ... of the classics and the moderns, from Plato to James. The name itself, love of wisdom, connotes great people and greater minds. The fruit of the brilliant and erudite is not a thing apart from our daily lives — it is reflected in our en- vironment and in our own actions . . . the theories and ideals of countless great men contribute to our own standards of life. Philosophy Club teas — at Dr. and Mrs. Leidecker ' s home, where we became aware of the mystery and fascination of the Orient. The meetings . . . one night a speaker from Iran explains the Hindu philosophy of life . . . another time, a contemporary journalist helps us to formulate our own theories. Yes, Philosophy is a lot of things . . . not only knowledge and ability to pattern one ' s thoughts in a logical sequence, but a deepen- ing of sensitivity and a broadening of under- standing. Members of the Philosophy Club 145 LANGUAGE AND LITERATURE ' 1 I ' ti ' M If, i l ENGLISH English was a thousand things more than the verb to be. The Mermaid Tavern wasn ' t far away, and once you met some- one almost like Hotspur. Will- iam Blake was strange, and Lord Byron was intriguing. The Vic- torians were gone forever, ex- cept that this generation too might be somewhere between Matthew Arnold ' s two worlds. English was even more than Chaucer ' s realism and Shelley ' s spirit. It was volumns of new and vigorous and wonderful characters. It was life itself. Dr. George E. Shankle, Dr. .Alice S. Brandenburg, I3r. illiam W. Griffith, Dr. James L. Allison, Dr. .Arthur L.

It is important, too, to know what goes into the making-up of a literary magazine. . . . The Epaulet gives experience in all phases of magazine work: advertising, printing, selling, layouts, copy . . . always searching for new ideas.

Emphasis on English OFFICERS President Delia Gene Pate Vice-President Billy Jean Mitchell Secretary Maribel Sutherland Treasurer Virginia Felts Reporter Barbara Birkenmei er Literature ... an end and a means ... a means to an understanding of cultures and civilization as well as of individual authors . . .-an end in itself in that it offers a world apart from the here and now, a sense of satis- faction and pleasure. Sigma Tau Delta was organized on the campus as an honorary society for English majors in order that they might be able to meet with those girls having similar interests in literary activities. Through the common bond of literature members of Sigma Tau Delta have developed varied interests, so that the society ' s activities no longer center ex- clusively in literature but have branched out into such projects as attending the theatre in Washington and Richmond. Thus, through the fraternity, members have been encouraged to take an active interest in other cultural pursuits . . . from a background study in one of the fine arts, they have de- veloped a deeper and more lasting apprecia- tion for the others as well.

It wasn ' t just collegiate, it was fun. You decided to major in a foreign language. Things took a different turn when you dis- covered Goethe, Schiller, Cervantes, or Victor Hugo, actually read Russian prose in the original.

Slides, discussions, speakers, bring into clearer focus those countries and civilizations which exist today in archaeolog- ical museums. For these girls, history does not exist solely in the past. Here, in the present everyday world, they are aware of the beauties, the ex- travagances, of classical culture and of the governmental and economic orders that have been a basis for many of our existing social systems. Past history is present enjoyment, past deeds worthy of comparison with present- day values.

There has never been a traitor to either cause. Thoughts of Devil-Goat rivalry will be an amusing and wonderful recollection of the most spirited titles at Mary Washington. Phys. Ed. was the same to all whether Devil or Goat. White gym suits, wet hair, square dancing, and a hundred miles to the tennis courts. It was the eternal anathema of Hygiene, and the everlasting comedy of fifteen lengths of the pool. It was a four-o ' clock hockey game and Intramural Basketball. There was no such thing as an overcut — there was no greater fun than A.R.A. Everything about Phys. Ed. was in- delible. The weekend at the cabin, the savoir- faire of the horsey set, the never seen hole in one, and six beautiful credits. 160 The Outdoor Pool in laylor (President) Officers.

Who helped shell those hundreds of peanuts for Peanut Week and made sure that everyone who signed up became someone ' s shell? Who planned socials, picnics, and overnight cabin parties for their freshman groups? You guessed it; the Senior Commission! One of the worthiest tasks for those on the commission was to help the freshman become acquainted with the functioning of Y and gradually prepare them for leadership in this organization. On another side, not strictly educational, these seniors acted as advisors for their freshman groups, which made original dolls; they staged the Doll Show itself, and helped plan the Christmas parties, at which time the dolls were given to needy children. 176 FRESHMAN COMMISSION All was quiet in the glass showcase, but as the hands of the clock on the wall moved past midnight, every doll there suddenly became animated. Get off my foot! cried a sailor doll to the phlegmatic Dutch lad. Oh, I ' m sorry, exclaimed he. I was just wondering what will happen to us now that the freshmen have finished us and presented ijs in their doll show. Do you suppose we ' ll stay here long? Goodness no! answered the Scotch lassie. We ' re to be given to some needy children at their Christmas parties.

Red Cross come to help en- tertain the hospitalized marines and sailors. Being a deck of cards, I get in on most of the excitement. Over a fast-moving game, I hear a lot about what the Red Cross at this college does. For instance, I didn ' t know until the other night that every student was auto- matically a member, or that the group is under the jurisdiction of a twelve-girl directing unit. I heard one of the girls say that they plan to work in the Fredericksburg day nursery and the Mary Washington Hospital to help relieve over-worked conditions. In March, big plans are afoot for a variety show to stimulate interest in the annual Red Cross drive. Ne -er a dull moment for them — or me ! 178 CAMPUS CHEST OFFICERS Chairman Margaret Anne Eanes Secretary Audrey Miller Treasurer Patricia Leech Publicity Manager Virginia Briant They Still Need You ! The big poster pic- tured convincingly the dire need of a group of European teenagers.

A group of girls around the bulletin board expressed their views on these causes. Won- derful group, this Campus Chest. Helps for- eign student groups as well as local service organizations, ' remarked a freshman. Are we having an assembly to open the drive? Guess so, replied her friend. Always do — with movies. We ' ll have to watch the chart in Chandler Circle to see how the funds collect. Another freshman wanted to know how the campaign was planned, to whom a friendly senior explained that each student pledges so much to the drive; the money secured is di- vided so that World Student Service Fund receives half and each of the other four groups share equally in the other half. Best of all, though, this covers everything but the Red Cross drive! briant. Eanes, Leech, Miller 179 FORMAL DANCE COMMITTEE Chairman Senior Representatives .

To unite all of them in spirit, but not in doctrine, while stressing co-operation leading to human welfare and understanding, Inter-Faith Council has been set up. Composed of two representatives from each religious group, this Council sponsored the customary sunrise serx ' ice preceding the Thanksgiving holidays, and the evening of caroling with the Inter-Racial group. Of great interest to everyone present was the Inter- denominational meeting featuring a movie and discussion of Jewish holidays. Although each group has a definite repre- sentation on Council, the meetings are always open to all students so that everyone may know of its unpublicized work and plans as well as of the widely-noted undertakings.

We attended services there, and then toured the whole site. Our aim, you see, is to try to promote Christianity and a better understanding of the Episcopal Church on the campus. Say, I ' ve got to leave now, but you come to the meeting Sunday and find out for yourself what fine times we have together! BAPTIST STUDENT UNIO Baptist Student Union. Three little words, which together mean the organization for all Baptist students on the Hill, and separately, the explanation of the work and purpose of the whole. Baptist; One of the Protestant religious groups, represented on campus by the Baptist Student Center, under the guidance of iVlelba Long, their secretary of student work. Student; An organization of, by, and for the students at M.W.C. — not necessarily only those of Baptist beliefs, but all students — who enjoy prixileges such as attending religious rallies at home or away, participating in and receiving inspiration from the nighth ' In- spirationals at the Center or the annual Thanksgiving Sunrise Service, or working in neighboring rural and colored churches, to mention only a few. Union ; The linking of the Baptist students with the local church and its various activities. The Baptist Student Union ; Fun, fellowship, inspiration, and spiritual growth. iSt ' oft ' tV, _ [r.s( roii ' ; Henderson, Webb, 6 ' t ' conJ rou ' Trice, McKnight Gia att 01i ei .V on. i i.t ' Coffelt, Profitt, Claud, Wchh Hiwnn I .

Her roommate unearthed it from beneath a stack of books, and handed her the familiar, dog-eared blue and white book. Jimminy, what would I do without this thing? she thought, leafing through it ' s thumb-marked pages. Say, roommate, what did you think of the Career Day Assembly? Wasn ' t that model stunning? Just think : she graduated from here just two years ago! A senior told me that Cap and Gown sponsors programs like this exery year. A short silence. Look! Cap and Gown published this directory, too! she observed suddenly. This society surely rates tops for school service! isafr y r HHu 1 BBM K ,: ' - ■ ' .y . Sponsors.

Was there actually a football team here? Already they ' ve become a sort of tradition. The veterans belong. They drive the flashiest cars, whistle the loudest in the halls, and play the juke-box ' s latest tunes. They are seen strolling to the Post Office, in and out of the C Shoppe, having morning coffee with Dr. Shankle. Whether off to basketball practice or the library, the Vets are just about the most carefree of all M.W.C. ' ers. Between here and there, Trinkle or Chan- dler, they ' re downright casual in their black and white saddles, sport coats, and enviable freedom. We no longer stop to stare at these new students who now take an active part in campus activities, and who uphold the traditions of our college. 193 FORENSIC CLUB OFFICERS President Sarah Anne Miles Sponsor Dr. Warren G. Keith Advisor Dr. George E. Shankle Easter vacation, and everybody went home to enjoy a little relaxation — everyone, that is, except the girls of the Forensic Club, who were busily preparing and carrying out plans for the annual Grand National Forensic Tour- nament held here in April. The members were efficiently taking care of registration, assisting with the various con- tests, and generally being where they were needed; they didn ' t mind not going away! (It wasn ' t all work, because many types of enjoyable recreation had been scheduled, and the possibility of meeting old acquaintances and forming new friendships was endless !) Why sacrifice a holiday for a convention? Simple; to learn contest leadership and to better understand debating and parliamen- tary procedure ! Standing: Hewlett. L MtKniyht, Shaw, Knight, ( ladakis.

WEEKEND Wtt::: ' It all begins in a telephone booth. Can any- one change a dollar? Yes, operator, I ' m calling Charlottesville. But, this is only the beginning. Two weeks is a short time to plan a party, exchange dances, get your date a room and your roommate a date, and persuade your family you need a new formal . . . you end by borrowing one. Suddenly its the Friday and there ' s a line of men at the Dean ' s Office. Back in the dorms there is a flurry of last minute ironing, borrowing, primping, and wheedling Paris Perfume from your roommate. The House Mother sends word your date is in the parlor. One last look in the mirror. . . . It ' s a beautiful afternoon. Couples chat, or stroll around campus while committee members put some final touches on the Tea Dance decorations. Music-lovers gather around the piano — will it be bebop or Dixie Land jazz? The Tea Dance gets under way and late-comers check their lipstick while, outside, their dates have a cigarette and predict football scores. I sn ' t your date from the Eastern Shore ? All Saturday afternoon you play who-do-you- know with familiar and unfamiliar faces. The Tea Dance is a wonderful success (defi- nitely no girl break!). Practically all the pieces are slow. The jitterbug ' s dynasty has seen its day, and the additional instrumental pieces turn the dance into a concert. This was Mary Washington as you dreamed it would be. After the dance you gather back in the dorm and many an engagement ring or fra- ternity pin is foretold. Car pools are devised, and you ' re off to the Stratford or the College Shoppe, which is really so different by candle- light. A wonderful atmosphere is created, and thoughts of books and things become remote. After all, tonight is the dance. 214 Everyone in the dorm is excited . . . corsages arri -e in dozens, ' ou ' re pleased with the way you look . . . you ' re proud of your date and never bother to explain that enigmatic smile he questions, which, of course, comes from your knowledge of all the stay-at-homes who hover behind the doors and rest on stair rails. G.W, is just ahead . . . and becomes now only the Hall of Mirrors. 215 The dance is crowded and gay. But home in the dorms are those who also are very much in the pattern of the weekend. Some linger outside the window and pick the best looking boys . . . there are bridge games, and in- terminable sessions on l.C.C. ' s . . . others go to the movies. They all wait up for the stories to come. Intermission . . . and then it ' s al- most all over. The walk back is the slowest in history. Some are home earlier than others, uith a thousand things to tell about a fev couples linger as long as possible Its a beautiful night in December — ,ou wish for a few moie minutes and then, goodnight. . .
