A more observing glance discloses the letters M.W.C. imbedded in its sides. Although only a smokestack, this impressive column silently reaching toward the sky and seeming to move ever upward stands as a guide to those returning to their Alma Mater. From dawn to dusk smoke billows from the crest of the shaft as it aids in the continuous task of providing heat to the beautiful buildings it surveys. As the smoke billows out, some becomes engraved on the shaft as an ever-increasing reminder of a duty well-done; the rest vanishes into the air. Similarly the students who enter the portals of knowledge below depart when their four years here come to an end, some to go forward with a steady, increasing will to achieve and to give of themselves, many to drift with the changing winds.

Theirs it was which ave to us The Li ht of iX Knowled Guidance Dr. Morgan L. Combs President Dr. Morgan Lafayette Combs has long stood as a symbol of the educational progress of the State of Virginia and has continually fought for the development of a Mary Washington College that would be worthy of its distinction as the women ' s division of the Iniversity of Virginia. Through his tireless efforts our college has grown and ex- liandetl at a remarkable pace, both in scholastic standards and physical assets. The modern educa- tional plant that exists is proof of the effectiveness of his administration. The College can point with |)ride to this able administrator and distinguished trentlenian. Dr. Edward Alvey, Jr. Deem of Administration Dean Alvev, one of Maiv asliinglons most prominent faculty members, is also one of the busiest. In addition to counseling the students on problems of curriculum and job applications, he acts as coordinator of our extensive academic pro- gram. He is concerned with almost every ]jhase of campus life and seeks to assist everyone who comes to him no matter how much of his valualjle time is taken. His musical talents as a pianist are well- known to the students. His efficient and conscien- tious endeavors enable us to proceed systematically and smoothly through college. 18 Mrs. Ruby (-. Harris Dean of IT omen Tlu ' office ot tlie Dean ul omen wa?. transferred Ironi irginia Hall to the administration building this year and with this transformation a new Dean of W omen was introdueetl to the student body. By no means is Mrs. Harris a stranger to Mary Wash- ington lor, prior to her appointment, she was an instructor in the Home Economics Department and is an active member of our Alumnae Association. Any girl with a problem may find a sympathetic and helpful Dean waiting to give her a hand at anv time.

Not only was the student assisted with her problems, but also the prospective entrant was sup- plied with inlorniatiou and conducted on a tour ol the campus.

They were no longer remote to us, but a part of us. FACULTY DRAMA. Mr. M. Sumner, Mr. A. G. Duke, Mr. A. R. Klein. EN(,L1SH Seated Dr. (, E Midukl, ' tandins Dr. . W. Griffith.

' With feelings of bewilderment and slight pangs of homesickness, freshmen waved goodbye to their parents and became acquainted with their room- mates and their surromidings. Gradually order emerged from chaos and the initial confusion of unpacking and rearranging rooms was reinforced by the hustle and bustle of registration — a strange process to most of them. White beanies with ma- roon trim which were a mark of distinc tion at first soon became a tiresome bother. The upperclassmen arrived and wondered how there could be so many freshmen.

She was awe-struck at the thought of the facuUy reception, but, gaining courage from her formal attire, managed to make it through the long receiv- ing line. At long last the Goat-Devil rally was held and that nasty ole beanie took its place on a bulletin board that would become full of cherished souvenirs of her freshman year. With the Kid Party and the Little Devil ' s Dance her introduc- tion to college lile was begun but by no means complete. However, she had gained confidence and was eagerly awaiting the opportunity to prove her- self worthy of ijeing a Marv ' i ashino:ton student. ■ST diiximislv awaits official end of Mouse Week.

For the first time in years ice-skaters were seen on Chandler Circle — some showing expert ability, others dis- covering that it wasn ' t as easy as the description offered by the roommate from up Xawlh. On tlie hills of the campus, prone and upright bodies streaked down slopes as sleigh-riding and trav- riding became the thing to do. The Seniors banded together for their final benefit and found a meaning in For All We Know. Poinsettias and candle- light transformed the atmosphere of the C-Shoppe into one oi light and shadow, which added a tone of intimacy ior the couples attending the Holiday Hop. The arrival of Christmas vacation left the campus lifeless as students hurried to make that last connection home. January brought another ijig snow and once again Mary Washington became a Winter Wonderland guarded by snowmen and snow women. Too soon the Dark Ages descended over the campus and exams were upon us. New Year ' s resolutions flew out the windows as every- one buckled down to the semi-annual task of last minute cramming in every nook and cranny. Dur- ing the interim between semesters we took stock of ourselves and, resolving to do a better job second semester, anxiously awaited the ides of March and spring.

For three years this dorm had heen the symbol of what it meant to be a member of the graduating class. and the Class of ' 54 held that position with a sense of belonging. As the year progressed Seniors for- got their studies and turned toward the lighter aspects of college. Bridge and picture puzzles held the interest until the annual Christmas dorm deco- rations contest arrived. Cooperation and spirit were the basic foundations for the construction of Christmas Village. Again, the plaque stood with our class as it had for the past three years. At diis time snow covered the campus and snowmen were discovered in numerous unusual places. The snow did not stop the oncoming serenaders who were received warmly by the occupants as they stood watching around the railing. The atmosphere changed as exams approached and the desire of maximum cuts made silence golden — well, almost! Once again the song contest was the main event of the dorm. Nightly practices were held and we found them not in vain as second place was awarded to Tri-Unit. One day in every year was well known and that was Senior Day for then Ball became a house of many parties. Parties continued until the last day of the semester and then a new feeling rang through Ball for, as every Senior walked down the spiral staircase the last time toward a new life, a tear came and each realized that ' God created a college . . . and named her when his work was done — Mary Washington.

Juniors found living in Westmoreland a wonder- ful opportunity to save on Chapel and Convo cuts, but woe to tliose who had to trudge daily to DuPont! In September the halls echoed with the delighted exclamations of arriving inhabitants, as we found the newly painted rooms and sparkling floors. Westmoreland basement also had some face-lifting during the summer, and. complete with over-stuffed chairs, offered now a refuge for crammers. We appreciated tlie chance to live at last in the privacy of a suite then found that informality reigned supreme, and liked it better that way. Inch-wide knitting needles ran a close second to bridge cards. Scrabble found a following among those who en- joyed some tight-lipped concentration and kibitzers were welcome in any circle. Each of us lent a willing hand and any extra thumbtacks to make the festive Christmas decorations transform Westmore- land parlor into an atmosphere of homelike cheer- fulness. Laden with gifts. Saint Nick found his way to the basement, where the Christmas spirit ran high at a gala holiday party. We adapted old clothes and came up with some new outfits at a Come As You Wish You Were party, where Mrs. Jacobus proved to be the hit of the evening. With the same energy, spirit and will to win, we en- tered the Song Contest, and emerged triumphant.

Quiet and peaceful halls became normal once again as laugh- ing voices returned from a busy summer to an even busier college year. With the first snowfall, a snowman and a snow lady stood guard in the circle and Virginia had a Blue Christmas, but only in the theme of their dorm decoration. Virginia scored again in the door decoration contest as well as the song contest. They proudly saw their house presi- dent installed as the president of Student Govern- ment for the coming year and, at the drop of a hat or a book, the occupants partied and serenaded. But whether gaiety or studies reigned, the Class of 56 stayed together both in and out of Virginia.

Some of us were excited; some were scared; some were homesick, ' hat a variety of feelings and emotions there were, and illard had to mold all these personalities into one part of Mary Wash- ington — the Freshman class. We eagerly awaited the arrival of our roommates and were quick to make friends. Our first task was that of unpacking our endless auKjunt of haggage and arranging our rooms, for Willard was to be our home for the next nine months. Confusion reigned as the process of registration began, but, with schedules finally completed, we were off to a good start. We even overcame the confusion caused by our first fire drills. At Christmas time die Littlest Angel became the theme of our dorm and die golden gates were open to all. We combined our feelings and talents into original songs for the Song Contest. Thoughts of studies were replaced by ideas for parties as holiday and vacation times approached. As May drew to a close, we realized that our freshman year was over. We anxiously awaited our return the following fall, when we would be included in the ranks of upperclassmen, but we would never forget our first home — W illard Hall. Phone duty — an inescapable chore. Its a tall lilond with a erew cuti Willard — a home away from home. Willard ' s basement was temporariK tuiriefl into Santa ' s workshop.

From the moment a girl enters the gates of Mary Wasliington, the Honor System is instilled in her as a way of living. She learns to live with others and to have respect for her fellow class- mates knowing that all uphold the standards estab- lished. The standards even though small in number — lying, cheating, stealing, and breaking one s word of honor — bring forth a feeling that grows throughout her college days and, as the closing day approaches, the light of honor still leads and the path is there to lollow.

A welcome party given by the Big Three gave the freshmen a sense of belong- ing to Mary Washington. Elections were held by polls and, through the efforts of Student Govern- ment, the freshmen realized the need of every vote. A convocation program introduced to the student body both old and new talent on the Hill. The Christmas Door and Dorm Decoration contests brought enthusiasm to the campus, and the festivi- ties were climaxed by the annual Christmas party in Seacobeck.

Although all yearbooks must contain essentially the same material, it is always the hope of each editor to produce a book as different as possible from any previously published. This year there can be no doubt in anyone ' s mind about the book being different. The year began officially with the rush to get the first days recorded and then the staff tore its hair over class portraits. As always, some were missing or blurry and the scurry to remedy these mistakes was typical ot any vearbook 92 TouLA Dkogakis Business Manager staff.

Athenaeum ■ Let there be light — fiat lux! With this motto in mind Athenaeum directed its members toward the goal of enlightenment in the realm oi the classical humanities. Through such varied activi- ties as plays broadcasted over the radio and chapel programs, it stimulated interest toward this goal. Among die less scholarly but most unusual of the activities on this year ' s agenda was the spring gathering of the cluli at which all the members appeared arrayed in the traditional Roman toga — a truly classical assemblage! 1st Roic: Van Buskirk, Presiden t : Melillo.

Interest among stu- dents of French in speaking the language and especially among students majoring in die Ian- gauge was promoted through meetings in which French was the only language spoken. As a part of their activities, the members presented a radio program of French Christmas carols and improved their pronunciation by listening to records of the language at their meetings. El Club Hispano-Ainericaiio Promoting interest in tlie Si)anish language and contributing to a speaking ability lor English- speaking students, tlie Spanish Club members learned to understand the Spanish culture. With monthly meetings held in Framar, Spanish was spoken at all club meetings. Fun also shared the spotlight with work for this group. Spanish dancing was exhibited by the Puerto Rican students at the Christmas party for the student body. Dr. Cabrera officiated as the Spanish Santa at the club ' s Christ- mas party.

Ballet legs, kips, dolphins, and surface dives were just a few of the familiar terms used. As initia- tion time approached girls were seen hobbling around campus W ' ith paper turtles around their necks and loathing caps on their heads. Behind this comical initiation is the serious purpose of combining originality and hard work to produce an aquacade which will give to the members a sense of satisfaction in a job well done.

As always, their primary service was incorporated in the task of compiling and publish- ing the Student Directory n OY to the Christmas holidays. There were frantic efforts to sell hot dogs and cokes in the dorms when funds became low and activities still loomed ahead. A Career Day ])iogram was presented in the spring when alumnae who were in interesting professions were invited back to speak for chapel. Alpha Phi Sigma The girls who really apply themselves find they are eligible for membership in this honorary fra- ternity.

MARY WASHINGTON PLAYERS ith the idea of tlie drama as an active, living art, Mary Washington Players worked together in the rhythm of their theatre. Each production was a new challenge to every member, and with imagi- nation and ingenuity. Players rolled up their sleeves and set to work. For all, there was oppor- tunity for experimentation. The apprentice worked diligently to earn her master membership. Back- stage, they helped to create an atmosphere out of wood, paint, and canvas. Onstage, the long hours of rehearsal were lessons in studied concentration for each actress. Gradually, carefu lly, the set took shape, as willing hands anchored the sturdy braces. lien the house lights dimmed and the curtain openeti trained ears listened for reaction in the audience. The world of make-believe became reality for three nights, but all too soon the last performance was ended. Tired, but conscious of the success of their efforts. Players put away the grease-paint, struck the set. and awaited once more the lieht of inspiration. Stage illusion is a(r(ini|iHslied iiil bv the realitx of hard work and careful planning. The scale drawing piii ides in(enti e for three dimensional measurement. X) HARVEY Let nie give you one of my cards, said Elwood P.. and the crowded audience rocked with laughter. Under the able direction of Mr. Sumner, Mary Chases ianciful comedy about an invisible rabbit started the season with a burst of rollicking humor. Harvev, that magical bunny, appeared and dis- appeared in a succession of marvelous comic scenes. Onstage, doors opened and shut by them- selves, and the lovable Mr. Dowd read Jane Austen to his carrot-eating companion. For both cast and crew, as they scrambled in the backstage darkness, the password was Watch out for Harvey! Mirac- ulously, Mr. Dowd ' s capricious confidant managed to come tlirough without a scratch! Between scenes stagehands rushed to break the record for c]uick set changing. With the vibrant applause of the audi- ence still ringing in their ears. Players fondly packed away Harvey ' s special punctured hat, cleared the stage, and prepared for the serious message of The Glass Menagerie. Harvev was here . . . olix icJii -K . ' Aunt Ethel.

Working on the production of Tennessee Wil- liams ' The Glass Menagerie was an adventure for all who parliciijated. an adventure into the realm ot trulv modern theatre. Rehearsals went smoothly, guided hv the sensitive direction ot Mr. Klein. Alternoons were dedicated to the ambitious construction of a complicated platform set in a new and different style. Impressive lighting and back- ground music were added to carry through the mood. Wlien round after louiid oi ap])lause an- nounced that Menagerie hail been successful here on the Hill. Players looked forward eagerly to an additional performance to be given tlie following week in Spotsylvania County. The road show was an exciting and memorable experience, but above all, it was the play as a whole which left its im- pression of delicate beautv as a high point of the year.

Kate, the Cursed, renowned in all Padua for her shrewish ways. The Taming of the Shrew All the spirit and gusto of Shakespearean comedy come to life in Players production of Tlie Tam- ing. The need for a large cast created new oppor- tunities for many who had never acted before to display talent. Actors and actresses practiced the art of reciting blank verse, but everyone declared a holiday whenever the spanking scene was re- hearsed! Directed by Mr. Sumner, the scenes took shape quickly and the complicated plot of the play was unraveled. Technical crews spent long hours in the theatre creating innumerable props and alter- ing the gay costumes or searching the town for string instruments. Much of the light-hearted good humor of the play itself was reflected by the set- ting, the fanciful, fabulous pink castle of Padua with its checkerboard floor and listing colunms. On the nights of performance audiences filled Dupont to join in the fun of watching the play within a play unfold before them. Petruchio roared in good style, while offstage both cast and crew tried to sidestep flying saucers. With the final curtain down. Players doffed their hats to the immortal Mr. Shakespeare and chalked up another success to their score. ' Madam wife, come to bed! 136 Petiurhiu laiiiiii; taiiiilit Kate a lesion in deportmeirt.

The design of a painter, tlie rliythni of a musi- cian, the imagination ot a writer, tlie projection of a dramatist — dance is a combination oi all these. Recognizing dance as the most self-sufficient of all the arts, the members of the Concert, Apprentice, and Junior Dance Clubs endeavor to utilize fully tiiis means of expression. Their members learn to work and play, to create and perform in an atmos- phere of concord and happiness made possible by the unique magnetic force of dance which draws its advocates closely together. When not working for a particular performance, the girls continue to spend many- industrious hours developing technique and basic dance skills. The role they have played in campus lite is shown by their activities of this year. One of their outstanding compositions was tlie Congo, a dance tracing a phase of primitive culture. Also they presented two programs dem- onstrating dance technique and compositions — one here on the campus and one at tlie Women ' s Club in Fredericksburg. The organization furnished all of the choreographers for and participated in the R.A. Carnival, the Y.W.C.A. and class benefits. Individual members of the club participated in several outside activities, most notable of which were the annual Lions Club Minstrel and the Vir- ginia State Society Ball. They also worked with the drama department to present the May Day festivities. r. Livesav. Turner. Goodman, Hogaboom, Pope. 138 Karch. Strauiilian. Wall. CONCERT DANCE CLUB 1st Row: Hendricks.

The Mary Washington All-Girl Band was enthii- siasticallv received at the Freshman pep rally in llie fall. Tlieir unique uniforms and their rousing inu ii- willi its exciting rhythm helped to make this and utlier campus activities a thrilling success. Many of their week-ends were spent at near-by colleges playing for half-time ceremonies at loot- ball games. A trip to Norfolk and the Oyster Bowl game proved to be a memorable one for they were introduced to Navy barracks and Navy chow . They lead the Thalheimer Toy Parade in Richmond and were presented an award for third place at the Apide Harvest Festival in Charlottesville. Wasli- ingtons Hiilhdav found them parading in Alex- andria and being awarded first place in the music division. At Christmas they exchanged their uni- forms for evening dresses and presented dieir annual concert of holiday music.

Madrigal Singers This small group of girls found the polyphonic musical setting of Fifteentli and Sixteenth Century secular poems intriguing. These a cappella singers met without benefit of credit and produced pro- grams that made the student body aware of a type of music that is seldom heard.

And ne your loxdl daitahters The fun and carefree days oi high school were momentarily forgotten as we entered tlie door of our freshman dorm. We were at the start of a new road, looking hopefully ahead, not knowing really what to expect. As we worked together on the dorm decorations for Christmas, the song contest, and the class benefit striving to make our Freshman year one to he remembered, we were constantly re- minded of the ideals for which Mary Washington College stood. The months marched on . . . our school life revolved in a cycle of studying, laugh- ing, cramming and examinations, combined with still new responsibilities. The fall semester seemed to creep, that is until exams were upon us. Only then did we realize what it meant to get down to the books and dig! To our amazement the spring term flew by rapidly. Certainly we had broadened our scopes since coming to college, and we were beginning to mold the framework lor our future. The past year had been an informatixe one, but we were looking hopefully forward, expecting greater things for our sophomore year. The LIGHT, dim and uncertain at first, now shown brighter . . . so much more was ahead of us! FRESHMEN Seated: Rhodes, Vice-President: Jones, Secrelary; Leonard, President.

IGo The Sophomores had said good-bye to Willard and had hit Virginia with a bang — and a party. It seemed that with a coke, a cake, and a song we could forget any cares or troubles or next day ' s English test — for a while anyway. But parties weren ' t all that kept the Class of ' 56 together. There were warm, close friendships, the feeling of having been around for a year, the older sen- sation we got when five hundred white caps with M.W.C. on them suddenly appeared on campus. There was the serenading of our sister class and also the four-tiered cake at the Sophomore-Senior party after the Senior benefit. There was the luxury of suites for a lucky few and there were two nights a month in town! We found we had to ration our time, money, and activities even more this vear. During the first few weeks of school we were on the lookout for a bare-headed freshman but also for a freshman with that lost look. We eagerly greeted friends whom we hadn ' t seen for an eternity of three months, but we missed those who didnt come back . And. last of all, we joined with new respect and devotion in singing to a school that was high on Marye ' s hilltop because we knew that it was, and always will be, high in our hearts.

' 179 Careful to seem impressed with our status as upperclassmen, yet eager as ever to embark upon another year, we Juniors returned in September to assume the new duties and responsibilities which faced us. We found our class to be a small, but more closely knit unit, capable of functioning as a mature and inlegral part of campus life. With so many old familiar names and faces having dis- appeared into the world in search of careers and matrimony, we realized that it was necessary for us to make the most of our remaining two years. Gone was the dependence on an older sister class — in its place stood tlie challenge of independence and responsibility to the myriad white-capped freshmen. Suddenly we were called upon to mark our place, and our answer was the expression of a common will. The crowded days slipped by toe quickly, bringing with them the added excitement of long awaited milestones. The shiny class ring was only as bright as the smiling Junior who looked forward to wearing her symbol with justifiable pride. Second semester ushered in days of harried scurrying for anytliing reminiscent of Paris, and we proved with a flourish that ' 5.5 could keep it gay in any part of the world. Witli the beginning of spring all attention was focused on the really big event of the year, as Ring Dance brought to each of us the culmination of a three year dream. When the student body convened at election time we watched as members of our own class were chosen to lead the way for others. Proud of this honor, yet humble because we knew a greater test of leadership was yet to come, the class of ' .55 set out to do its best. The path shone clear, for the torch burned bright, and it was ours to hold. JUNIORS 1st Row: Grubbs. S.G.A. Representative; Papstein. Treasurer. 2nd Row: Price.

As more and more sparkling engagement rings made their ap- pearance lucky were the ones who could look for bridesmaids dresses and plan trousseaux instead of filling out application forms. And when Mary Ball became known as Waller Hall Annex it was pretty obvious to the inquisitive spectators around the railings of the rotunda that the Marines had established a beachhead. The traditional Christ- mas serenade in our caps and gowns was thrilling but chilling as we walked for miles and sang on the coldest night of the year to return to find the hottest chocolate of the year awaiting frozen toes but rewarded hearts. With more than customary enthusiasm we launched the preparation of our final class benefit and as the curtain slowly lowered we realized, as did our audience, that leaving is a part of finding . . . Senior Day proved to us that old age could have its com- pensations as underclassmen carried extra trays, stood for us as we entered our classes, and showed us that our little idiosyncracies did not pass un- noticed. At long last warm weather arrived and eager occupants of Tri-Unit who headed for the ramps found that they would have to sunbath in shifts as capacity crowds toasted themselves. The day of graduation finally arrived bringing with it many mixed emotions, but filing out of G. W. to the strains of Pomp and Circumstance the class of .54 was held together by the same cooperative enthusiasm and hundjle gratitude that had guided us through the past four years.
