Science and English students share Chandler ' s labs and classrooms. T. he Student Activities building offered a new in- sight into student recreation and opportunities. ij - ' ADMINISTRATION Catalogues, application blanks, bills and grades came to us from that mysterious realm known as the Administration Building. At first, we did not know who was inside this awe-inspiring place. However, as we progressed through college, each person emerged as an individual, and all became our friends. They showed us that presidents are not made entirely of intellect, and that treasurers can really knock-off a soft shoe. We watched our two deans and our Director of Public Relations play the piano and dance their way to fame. We were constantly amazed by the deft efficiency of the Director of Admissions and the Registrar as they shuffled and straightened our applications and program cards. The interest of the Personnel Director in our clubs, bus trips, and job interviews made our year more complete. These were the people constantly sought, seldom found unoccupied, and always ready to help. We learned that it is to these people that we owe the smooth functioning of the school. ®n 11 1 organ Lafayette Goiiihs President of Mary Washington College of the University of Virginia A stately figure and a handsome face, comparable to the stately and handsome buildings for which he is responsible; a wise and kindly air which he has lent to the environment here; a constant concern for the welfare of the student body; a strength and determination to progress, from which we can take example — of such are Dr. Combs ' living contributions to us. V ' V ' . .... .., ♦ Dean of Mary Washington College of the University of Virginia The busiest man on campus — that ' s our Dean! Somehow he man aged to smile his way through a maze of schedule changes, misplaced credits and faculty meetings. He was known to all as professor, administrator, advisor and musician. Each of us received the benefits of his understanding and found that there seldom arose a problem for which he could not produce a satisfactory solution. mm ss Ulanj [Ikni Sk ' phinismi Dean of Women of Mary Washington College of the University of Virginia Did you ever look at Miss Stephenson ' s calendar? There are classes to teach, meetings with parents, administration and students to attend, and trips to make. Yet Miss Stephenson has always found time to talk to everyone who came to her. She has listened to our problems and somehow added a personal touch to her job. Under her guidance, our year was made more complete. Edgar E. Woodward Treasurer Mrs. Ruth Seawright Wade Dciiii of Freshmen Reynold H. Brooks Director of Public Relations Administrative Cruidance Melpeci Our declaration of independence was speedily cut short. Gone were the feel- ings of self-sufficiency with which we had embarked on our college careers, for we found that our needs were still abun- dant. However, many people untiringly rendered us their services, and willingly accepted our dependence on them. Money problems, schedules, sore throats, homesickness — all of these and many more problems were eased and solved by those who were working for our welfare and happiness. Nur e Curtis. Dr. Rose.

Outside the window, trees wove their interlacing branches into a web to trap the glance that strayed from the drab classroom. The young mind easily eluded the fetters of a lecture and shifted to the baffling glory outside. Life, an amazing thing at the simplest, unfolded before eyes that looked without and saw within. Wonderful things raced through the mind that discarded the newly-learned lesson of selecting facts from an assortment of knowledge and spun the web of fantasy. The secret dream of future and security arose and hid fears of inadequacy and failure. The childish desire to be protected blended with a blissful satis- faction of independence; both feelings swirled about in a life that had no war, no misunderstanding, nothing but peace and contentment and a long succession of happy years. The pencil fell from relaxed fingers and rolled under a desk. Startled from her dream, she bent and picked it up, brought back to sharp reality by the ringing of a bell and the confusion of noises that meant thirty young women were through with learning for the moment. She got up and walked outside slowly, in pursuit of her dream. ' ' ♦ e ni o r s This was the tomorrow they had been waiting for, the last and most exciting year, the year of final achieve- ment and completion. This realization was driven home time and time again by check sheets, diploma fees and fittings for the all-important caps and gowns. The time was too short to crowd mto it all the things that should be said and done, yet they still found time to gather around the balconies and sing, to watch their fourth and final bene- fit transmit magically the true feeling of the class for their school. Spring came swiftly and thoughts of the goodbyes, of the new things that would start upon receiving a de- gree flooded their minds. They had found friendship and security in a world they had grown to love. They looked at each other and appreciated the strong bond of afi ection that had kept them together until the moment of achieve- ment arrived and their tomorrow was suddenly their today.

It was a year of concentration on studies but also one of fun and extra-curricular achievement. They decorated their dorm wholeheartedly at Christmas and won first prize with Santa ' s Workshop. They found them- selves the wealthiest class on campus and delved into plans for a lavish Ring Dance, at which they donned the rings that brought them closer to their year, 1954. At the Goat parties, they acquainted themselves with their sister class, the Freshmen. In major campus elections, they saw members of their class elected to lead the student body in the coming year. At last they were in the position of leadership that they had proved, both as a class and as individuals, they were capable of taking. JUNIOR OFFICERS. Dorsey. Vice Ptrshh-i: : Mrs. Boiling.

The buildings no longer presented a hopeless jumble to them, but formed a familiar pattern. They now symbolized home to the class of ' 5 5. Through serenading the seniors, the sophomores cemented warm feelings with their sister class. With an air of know-it-allness, they were quick to lend a helping hand to the Freshmen and they became big sisters with a feeling of pride. They pitched in wholeheartedly, whether it was in undertaking the support of a French war orphan, a class project done in conjunction with the Seniors, or in presenting their second benefit. They took an active part in club functions, joining those which held the most interest for them. After much deliberation, they decided on their individual majors. Now they were workers, re- sponsible and eager to learn, willing to serve and ready to approach a higher goal. Now they were no longer new and wondering, but old hands, eager to belong to M.W.C.

OF 1955 The Sophomores uere hoste at a Dciil party. 69 ] r r e 8 11 men A bare room in Willard or Cornell was the first college home for the class of ' 56, but it took little time for them to hang the curtains, to learn their roommates ' last names, and to meet their big sisters. They were bewildered but pleasantly surprised at the easy familiarity, the casual and yet friendly greetings of the upperclassmen. The first month was a master plan of confusion and they had to make many adjustments to the way of life which they were entering. Just so much could be crowded into a day, they discovered, as they thankfully sank into bed at eleven or raced the clock for a few precious minutes of study before the light cut was over. They felt a thrill as their elected officers took their places among campus leaders, and as their talent and ideas were integrated into organizations. They felt a sense of belonging and realized that college was more than just classes in art and history, math and English. It was a lesson in living, and they found that a lot could be learned in a dorm room over a cup of instant coffee. As they packed their clothes in June, they found that the college meant something to them. They had forgotten their homesickness, their worries over exams and quality points, and remembered the good things. They had accepted their role as the Class of ' 5 6. FRESHMAN OFFICERS.

An argument, brief and violent, broke out m a room and ended in tears and laughter and a trip to the C Shoppe. The breakfast line was long and very slow, causing irrita- tion and the third tardiness to an eight-thirty class in a week. Empty mail boxes and phone calls that did not come, pop tests and quizzes assigned for the same day that awful term paper was due— things happened all at once with a malicious will. A senior, faced with her fjrst formal convo, ran three stockings, and then discovered, halfway down the aisle, that her tassel was bobbing merrily on the left side of her face. A freshman ' s laundry came back with half a sheet and no washcloth. Students lived a compli- cated life filled with problems, jokes and just plain living. The boxes from home, trips to H.J. ' s, and unexpected A ' s on tests counter-balanced rainy mornings, dateless week ends and bankruptcy. Life was a series of ups and downs, peaks of joy like the blind date that turned out to be wonderful, and the valleys of despair which occurred at 10:29 a.m. on a rainy morning when only one boot could be found. Life was the reserve book in Cornell that should have been in the library, as well as the surprise birthday party just before lights-out. It was a full and vibrant life, shot through with minor problems and dusted with day-dreams, a life of promise and hope, filled with active con- tentment.

Tri-Unit — three buildings in which they, the up and coming leaders of an immediate tomor- row, spent their last year of college. They hung over the rails watching the endless procession of vocalists and pianists who performed for this ever-welcoming audience. They climbed the spiral stairs, weary of their responsibilities as campus leaders; and on April first they wel- comed spring and skipped lunch to take their pale bodies to the ramps in search of a suntan. They studied and played, both to the fullest extent, realizing that this was their final trial at M.W.C. They were constantly awed at the in- creasing number of engagement rings and wed- ding bands. And it was in front of these build- ings that, having donned their caps and gowns for the last time, they joined hands and sang their final goodbye to the college that had been the mainstay of their lives for the past four years. The railbirds gathered for a jam session. Blackwood reigned supreme in the parlor. Peanut butter aiiJ li uli,u,lJ,y , , mix. Madison.

They learned that a suite was invented for the purpose of playing bridge in one room and of studying in another. They enjoyed late Sunday morning breakfasts and dorm parties in the basement. They filled the dorm with laughter and the urgent calls to the third floor by the girls on telephone duty. They visited with Mrs. Jacobus, met their dates in the parlor and found the satisfaction of working together in every project that they undertook. They worked hard and played hard, found time to stop and have fun, and time to push all the furniture out into the hall for a good house- cleaning. They filled their rooms with all the collected mementoes of three years and won- dered where they would find space to put any- thing else. They filled Westmoreland with the happiness for which it had been planned. Juniors Caskecl In On WestmorelanJ s Golden Opportunities Ike ' s Ihir isiiiii 11 iiilcJ hopefully for lictory.

The new Student Activities building across the street gave the occupants of Virginia a full-time job as construction supervisors. Inside the dorm, they settled down to a year of study and enjoy- ment, of all they could crowd into a day. They found that the cross section was a perfect loca- tion for bridge, and also learned that getting back to their rooms from the showers without being seen by dates in the parlor could be an exciting adventure. They collaborated on a dorm Christmas party, practiced for their second song contest and found that these activities had strengthened friendships in the dorm.

In W illard, Frosn Learned Wko, Wkat, Wkere And Wky This was their hrst year of hving together and Freshmen soon extended their friendships beyond roommates and the girls across the hall, and em- braced the majority of the dorm. They worked together at Christmas and made Willard, which had seen many holiday seasons, exclusively theirs. Their feeling of ownership expanded as they practiced together for the Song Contest, worked on their benefit and had parties. They took over the impersonal dormitory and made it a home away from home, a place that became more familiar as the year went on. They had found the halls silent and filled them with laughter; the rooms empty and filled them with life.

FALL Above Chandler Hall the sky was an unbelievable blue that re- flected brightness on the flaming beauty of the trees. The campus was alive with girls acquainting themselves with the location of new buildings or meeting familiar places with the affection of old friends. The tempo of life was timed to the slow burning beauty of Indian summer. To the freshman in her mouse cap and to the senior in her newly acquired cap and gown, it was the beginning, a seasonal process in reverse. All that had gone before was out of focus, for the present demanded every minute and the future dangled tantalizingly just out of reach. The present was a vital thing that snatched all available time, throwing a presi- dential election in the face of the nation, an election that also concerned and dominated the orderly life on the hill. Students became citizens and thought in the terms of good government and capable leaders. On the heels of political partisans came the stern reminder of learning — mid -semesters. From there, the stu- dents ' minds shifted to thoughts of home, big football games and Thanksgiving. Upon returning, the students found that the sere cnspness of winter had come, and, forgetting the beauty and quietness of the golden autumn, the young mind eagerly awaited the things that winter would bring.

Her trunk was in the basement, her suitcases were on the bed and her roommate was in her way. If she were a Freshman, she had to get acquainted; if not, she spent the day listening to a description of everybody ' s summer vacation. The Freshmen went to parties, were smiled at, frowned upon, introduced, fed and registered. Upperclassmen went to work: sold, bought, and bartered books; explored new buildings and made plans for the Princess Riiiii-bi-Thc-Vacc .w ys Hnic. You ' re asking me? ; I have ii class then. } ' ear. Loyalty night unified the classes in a feel- ing of warmth and security; a feeling new to the Freshmen, dear to the rest. They started off spontaneously, enthusiasm snowballing as the days passed. Freshmen, free of their mousecaps, marched confidently to class, in step with the ones who had come before and made them wel- come. Out of the confusion came a serenit ' , a treasured sense of belonging. Nmv u hi ' - Biit that section is closed Dr. Ciistlc, thn s Mrs. Read.

WINTER Suddenly there was too much to do in too short a time. The days grew shorter and the diamond cold stars danced a quadrille in the navy blue sky of winter. A frenzy came with the wmd. Both reached an hysterical peak just before Christmas. Jingle Bells became the rhythm of the days. Gifts were bought, wrapped, hidden. An unconscious hand festooned the borders of history notes with Christmas candles and wreaths of holly. Then, amazingly, it was time to go. Conversations centered around trains, buses, planes, timetables and Christmas formals. The click of heels in a school corridor heralded a mass departure and, too soon, became the evidence of return. Christmas was over and the winter lay ahead, grim and pock-marked by term papers and exams — exams, a futile cramming, a frantic search for the missing page of notes. Dark shadows under young eyes became the badge of education. Then, it was all over and the vacation between semesters brought recuperation. It was second semester, entered with good intentions and hopeful hearts. The winter was almost over; the halfway mark of our year was at hand, for second semester meant dogwood and warm sunshine. The holiday season was the time for parties and gifts and the all important vacation. After these were only pleasant memories, the Seniors tossed paradise high and wide in their last benefit. Exams became the order of the day and the blue book became the book of the month. Second semester started quietly, bring- ing Valentine ' s Day, the mid-winter formal and the Junior Benefit, Deep Sea-Cret. Undismayed by last minute snow flurries, the college saw the last of the winter and looked forward to spring.

For all of us it was the symbol of many things. It was the flowering of the past and the promise of a future to be filled with more than itself, because of the things we have lived and thought and loved here. But spring for us was also many little things. It was Devil-Goat Day, when enthusiasm erupted into a volley of shouts and cheers, the wild stampede to breakfast, and the raising of the flags. It was May Day, our compliment to the spirit of spring. It was the smell of baby oil and suntan lotion. It was Senior Day, Faculty Day, and, finally. Graduation— so many things, and all of them important to the plan that had been us and our college. Some of us were leaving. As we took a final glance at all that we had known here, we recalled lost words that had been so familiar— Let ' s go to the ' C ' Shoppe, or Let ' s play bridge, — and, suddenly, with a feeling somehow deeper than mere sentiment, we realized that there would be no more Let ' s because there would be no more ' us. But, then, there was the thought that for each of us, in the memory of things past and hope for the things to come, this spring would last forever.

College — a blueprint for education; an institution dedicated to learning, populated by personalities who blend and clash, thus giving all a chance to evolve and change, a chance to accept and discard ideas and theories. College — a proving ground of personal worth; a chance to be independent, yet completely dependent on family, administration, and friends; a chance to accept responsibility on shoulders proud of, but unaccustomed to, the role. It is dis- appointment and frustration as well as achievement and accolades. It is a small taste of life, a carefully preserved tangent of the dream world and reality. And what about the group of build- ings that are known as college? Without the life given them b) ' the people who throng through them each day, pursuing their own goals, these buildings would not have fulfilled their purpose. They would be only beautiful and symmetrical. M.W.C. — chalk and daydreams, adolescence and maturity, the development of the human mind. ' ' M Student Government Attuned Itseli To Student Opinion Nell McCoy President uf StuJei:t Goiernmeut Ai. Why have a Student Government? — to pro- mote personal responsibility, loyalty, and a high sense of honor in the individual, and to represent and further the best interests of the student body and the college by inculcating the under- lying principles of self-government and democ- racy. This was their purpose. How does it operate? Monthly student body meetings kept these, the chosen leaders, attuned to the feelings of those whom they represented. The student body considered the merits of a student jury, a revision of the point system and a plan to strengthen Interclub Council in these meetings. Student Council met on Monday nights to dis- cuss current problems and plan activities. They presented a chapel program satirizing rulebook changes over thirty years, sponsored Loyalty { 140 Week, a dorm Chrlstm.is decoration contest and Faculty Day, and maintained tlie Tapestr - Room, with occasional parties for girls and dates. A tangible contribution of the Council was a new edition of the Bayonet, revised and re- organized for clarity. Student Council, in its duties as a judicial body to punish rule offenders, was guided by two criteria: that the punishment be constructive for the individual, and that it be in the best interests of the student bod) ' and the college. They corresponded with the Coun- cils of other schools in regional and national student organizations for pennants, rulebooks, and help on mutual problems. In April they sent delegates to a Texas convention. These activities kept them alert and interested in their responsibilities. Graham, Trcasiinr; Anderson. Vicc-PnuJait; Johnson. Si-crcljry.

The White Christmas Convocation was one of the highlights of the year, and their biggest project. Religious Emphasis Week, brought us outstanding speakers and many inspiring mo- ments. Devoted to service, members of Y ' s cabinet enjoyed a fellowship with one another and with their faculty advisors. This fellowship was very apparent on campus as well as at spring and fall retreats and association picnics. Through many activities, planned for the benefit of the student body, such as vespers, seminars, the Kid Party and the Doll Show, Y.W.C.A. proved that its activities had made the year a full and happy one. { 142 Y CABINET. ;•; ,( you: Cody.

The year for R.A. began with the freshmen, for whom they gave a step-sing at Willard and a cabin party. R.A. also oversaw the doffing of mouse caps at the Pep Rally, sponsored the street dance, and collaborated with Student Govern- ment on the welcome party in Monroe. As the year progressed, the desire for competition was reawakened in the tennis, golf, hockey and bridge tournaments. The fall horse shows and all of the cavalry activities gave riders a chance to compete for prizes in every phase of horse- manship. The entire campus found entertain- ment at the annual Korny Karnival, where Wright. Wilson, Miss Leonard. Melton, Lloyd. { 144 games of chance and side shows featured Hallo- ween fun in the traditional spooky style. Then along came more tournaments — volleyball, bas- ketball, Softball, archery and badminton, as well as the spring tennis and golf tournaments. The pool finally opened and Terrapin Club members worked on the Aquacade. The Fencing Club gave lessons and Concert Dance presented recitals and performed at May Day. Members of R.A. Council played hostess to the annual V.A.F.C.W. Conference in February. Then, before they knew it, Devil-Goat Day was upon them, awakening old rivalries as the sister classes merged forc es and rallied around their flags to battle for the day. After a year of work and fun, the old and new R.A. Councils relaxed for a weekend at the Recreation Association Runaway. First row: TIk Abbot. . I...;M.inus. S.-rai;. YokoKawj. Churcliill, Pu-ijJenf of Ha H onor Is A Way Of Life Truth above all. Three simple words on which the pattern of a life may be built. To lay this foundation of honesty in our relationship with others as well as ourselves, the Honor System functions as our guide. Each student has a part in Honor Council, for its creed of truth vitally concerns the lives of those who have created it and those who make it work. Honor Council gives all students a chance to make their per- sonal code of life strong by showing that truth and honesty at all times are necessary to the well-being of the individual, as well as the school. If a person offends against this code, action must be taken, for she harms the whole as much as herself. HONOR COUNCIL. Redman. Lvk. Carter. Ben ii ' CAP AND GOWN. f(, cli, Rjynor. Mai Muskus.

The traditional masks of the actors were supple- mented by paint brushes and spotlights for mem- bers of Mary Washington Players. With them lay the responsibility of play production, the backstage and front office chores that made a performance click. No matter what their major or theatrical aspirations, they entered through the back door gladly, basting costumes, smear- ing greasepaint and hammering loudly. They were learning things that others had learned, and dreaming the same dreams that those who had gone before them had dared to dream. They worked untiringly and wondered why their muscles ached, saw the S.R.O. sign go up on productions, and pitched into each picnic with as much enthusiasm as they had given to the tasks they had been assigned. When it was all over, they wondered idly why they had done it, and at the same time they thought of even more things they could do the next time. The mem- bers of Mary Washington Players were drama- tists in blue jeans who understood and loved the vitality of their art. Mary W asnington Players Present ' Blltne Spirit Opened Season Witli Spooks, Spool Sellout audiences roared at the brittle, sophisticated humor of Noel Coward ' s Blithe Spirit, starting off College Theatre ' s year in a new building. Two charm- ing grey ghosts, an eccentric medium and a harried husband delicately spoofed the supernatural as back- stage crews broke vases and played havoc with cur- tains and pictures to simulate the rage of the ghostly wives. Fredericksburg theatre-goers, both on and off campus, awaited another production as the crews took down the English country house set and packed away the unbroken vases in preparation for Years Ago.

Years A o W a.s Second Production Nineteen days of rehearsal was the password for the College Theatre ' s production of Ruth Gordon ' s comedy, Years Ago. Cast members learned the Maxixc, flourished Indian clubs, and donned costumes of the early 1900 ' s to capture the gentle humor of the piece. The tan and rose striped set went up and an old fashioned tele- phone jangled merrily, as the crew feasted on the marble cake and cherry pie required by the script and nursed Punk, the cat, who took a private curtain call. Despite the shortness of production time, the play was enjoyed by the audience as well as those behind the curtain. I ' ll make good, Papa, yon see if I don ' t! Papa wanted Ruth to be just like Miss Glaiin. 1 i i -P 1 a Snakespearean 1 ra edy Doiiiinatea Season Broadswords clashed on the battlements of a medieval castle as King Lear dominated the season with its classic dignity and vigor. Faculty, students, and townspeople united to present the pageantry and splendor of Shakespeare ' s power- ful tragedy. The actors took the difficult lan- guage in stride and gave excellent performances that, combined with colorful period costumes and original atmospheric music, gave King Lear a valued position among the best of College Theatre productions.

Lovers Oi Dance Strove For Periectlon To them, rehearsals and long hours of practice were the means that brought them closer to their goal, the perfected art of dance. Skill and feel- ing were needed to interpret human feelings and ideas and set them to music. Concert Dance Club felt this desire keenly and through their en- thusiasm and hard work, made student apprecia- tion of modern dance as an art grow with each of their presentations. They met three times a week, with extra time given when needed, to prepare their original compositions, which they presented with great success at the R.A. Fresh- man Program, the Concert Dance Convocation Program and May Day. Their ability also car- ried them to the Arts Forum in Greensboro. Junior Dance, a preparatory club for Concert Dance, assisted them in all of their problems and was open to all girls interested in dance, whether or not they had great dancing ability.

Programs Made Cnoir s Year Interesting The Mary Washington Choir had a full year both at home and abroad. On campus, they pre- sented a Christmas program for the students and planned parties for their own entertainment. Abroad, they visited and sang for the Quantico hospital. Through singing and parties, a good time was had by all.

New dreams and ideas are formed. New hopes for the future are buih. We see the falhng leaves of autumn, the cold winds of winter, and the long-sought- after sunshine of spring combine to tell the story of 19 5} at Mary Washington. There is regret — regret in the swift passage of time, in the mistakes made in learning, and in the things which must be left undone and untold. There is much looking back — looking back on the hours of pleasant, unforgettable friendships, on the work which has been done, and on the days and months which have made this year in our lives. There is hope — hope for those who take their final leave, and for those who will return in a few short summer months. To you, who are leaving, we send with you our best wishes; to you, who are staying, we leave many days of happiness. To all of you, we hope that we have succeeded in telling your story in this year, 19 5 3.
