Mary Washington College - Battlefield Yearbook (Fredericksburg, VA)

Text from Pages 1 - 262 of the 1957 volume:

c 4 THE Foncie Lawrence Ed itor-i n-Ch lef Elizabeth Fordha Business Manager An eagerness to anticipate the needs of Mary Washington College, a quiet effort to provide service for individual students, and the ability to assure efficient financial management for the college — these have created a special place in the hearts of students, faculty, and staff for Woodie. Therefore, it is with humility and gratitude that we dedicate the 1957 Battlefield to Mr. Edcar E. Woodward, our Bursar. : Hi -f mm We enter college as minute entities within the great mass. We do not always know why we come, but each of us has an inquiring spirit. Four years of classes bring vital questions to our minds; extra- curricular activities furnish engaging outlets for our energies; and the unusual and outstanding indi- viduals among our new acquaintances broaden our human understandings. Our lives are molded to fit into a scheme of thin gs. Eventually, we come to realize the value of home and of friendship, and we become aware of the importance of honor and loyalty. Our responsibilities begin to take a definite form and, ultimately, we secure a grasp upon them. All that takes place within us is not the product of conscious effort on our parts, but the changing and molding experiences that come to pass have lasting effects on our lives. Gradually and miracu- lously the spirit of Mary Washington becomes an integral part of us and we suddenly become aware of the light that will be reflected in our faces from this time forward. • f • Reflections in Form 10 Reflections in Faces 18 Reflections in Friends 36 Reflections in Fulfillment 116 Reflections in Features 128 Reflections in Fancy 184 1 A h 1 £, m E!Kf ' €n iz € j m Stately halls continued to mirror channels of guidance, avenues of learn- ing, a way of life — m.i George Washington Hall { 13 )• E.

The inauguration, first in twenty-seven years, brought representatives from many colleges of the eastern United States as well as delegates of learned societies and educational organizations. The programs began Wednesday, with an exhibition of contemporary painting in duPont Hall. A group of experts includ- ing Dr. Ashley Montagu spoke to students and visitors on Woman, Catalyst of Modern Society in a sym- posium Thursday afternoon. That night, Herva Nelli, soprano of the Metropolitan Opera, sang in George Washington Hall. Friday morning, the colorful in- augural ceremony was held, followed by a luncheon and an afternoon program in the Fine Arts. Later Dr. and Mrs. Simpson gave a reception for faculty and visitors at Broinptom. The inaugural ball, held in the Gothic Room of Ann Carter Lee Hall, brought the events of the weekend to a pleasant close. I, Grellet Collins S The inaugural procession added color to the occasion. 4 21 Dr. Grellet Collins Sinipson Chancellor of Mary Washington College of the University of Virginia M. W. C. ' s Chancellor, Dt. Simpson, has guided us in this year of growth and change. Most able to lead and ever willing to serve, he has endeavored to promote the best interests of Mary Washington and thereby has endeared himself to the student body. We are encouraged and warmed by his sin- cerity and friendliness and inspired by his high ideals for the college and its stude nts.

This spring Dr. and Mrs. Alvey spent a well deserved vacation traveling abroad and returned to find the student body eagerly awaiting their arrival. In Dr. Alvey the students of Mary Washington find a warm and interested person who embodies the principles of loyalty and honor which are so closely associated with the school. and you need three more hours in psycljnlnfi Miss Margaret Hargrove Dean of Students of Mary Washington College of the University of Virginia Miss Hargrove has furnished excellent guidance for Mary Washington students this year in every area, from placing girls in the dormitories to speaking at Vespers. By efficient management of the details of her position, she has been able to represent the school at many meetings and conferences, some of national organizations. Her dynamic personality and evident capabilities have provided inspiration to the student body in both class work and personal development. Miss Hargruve took lime out to talk uith students. Dr. Reginald W. Whidden A-Uoc ' uite Dean of the College Evincing entliusiasm and willingness to sliare ideas that may enrich our tlioughts and lives, Dr. Whidden has continued to render valuable service to the student body. Whether in the classroom or his office, we have noted his keen desire to instill appreciation and responsibility within us as individuals. Ever the gentleman and scholar, Dr. Whidden is a true friend. And what do you think? ADMINISTRATION Application blanks, bills, catalogues, and grades came to us from the realm of the Ad- ministration Building. In the beginning, we did not know who performed or what was done within this rather mysterious place. How- ever, as we progressed through college, each person emerged as an individual, and all be- came our friends. Whether in a routine situ- ation or an emergency, the administration ' s policy of cooperation proved invaluable, their service unlimited. These were the people con- stantly sought, seldom found unoccupied, and always ready to help. It is to them that we owe the organization ' s smooth functioning of Mary ' Washington College.

As advisors they see that we keep along the path toward graduation, though their hair turns a little whiter. As sponsors they do everything from check- ing scholastic averages to giving remedies for chigger bites. They are our friends, too, finding positions for us, repairing radios or channeling in other bits of electrical equipment, playing Softball, or listening to our tales of woe. Often we have seen them heading toward G. W. for another committee meeting. Much of their free time is spent in conferences with us, working over our papers, or planning for our futures. We will, in our hearts, remember them as a vital part of our college days, and always as a part of us. EDUCATION AND PHILOSOPHY. Dr. R. G. Tempi. H. L. Womack, Dr. R. S.

CLASS OF I960 Donning the purple and white beanies left be- hind by other classes, we entered MWC determined not to be the typical freshmen. As might be ex- pected, however, we foimd ourselves just as lost, confused and unorientated as any freshman class. We hung our beanies up in Willard, Virginia, Betty Lewis, and Cornell, and soon discovered that the traditional friendliness was not just a word on the printed page. With the election of our class officers, we watched with pride as our preferred ones took office. We responded eagerly to the challenge in the classroom and reveled in the spirit of the Christmas decorating and song contests. We also did our part to uphold the shower and bridge traditions. Ours was a year of new freedom for freshmen — later lights, single-dating, later hours — and we took full advantage of each. With March came serious work on our first benefit and we demonstrated that spirit so ne cessary in uniting us as a whole. Serenades brought us closer to our sister class. All of these phases of our first year at college gave insight in the truly meaningful aspects of hfe on the Hill. Then May came, perhaps too soon, and we looked forward to the Horseshoe in the knowledge that the experiences of our Freshman year would provide a strong foundation for the moulding of our future development.

Happily we anticipated the serenades, house parties, and bridge games which had enlivened our freshman year as we renewed old friendships and made new ac- quaintances. The bonds of friendship between our class and the Seniors grew, and we regretted that our sister class would leave us in June. Remembering our own confusion we enjoyed helping the fresh- men arrange schedules, buy textbooks or find the right classroom. Studies were in the foreground as we chose our major field. Proud of the recog- nition our class won in the Christmas dorm dec- orations, we practiced diligently for the song con- test. When March winds and mid-semesters were in the air, our class benefit, Green Door, was opened to reveal amazing class spirit and cooperation. Realization of our importance as a part of Mary Washington came to us as our classmates were elected student leaders for the coming year. As we sunbathed in the spring sunshine a special warmth engulfed us. At the half-way mark of our college career, with our goal in sight, we reflected on the intellectual and spiritual wealth we had discovered here on the Hill. Thrilled with our discovery we eagerly looked forward to two more years of ac- quiring knowledge and finding happiness at Mary Washington.

Our time was consumed by many projects, as well as by the ad- ditional studying which our now-determined majors required, and we began to feel the top-heaviness of extracurricular activities. All was not work, however, as was evidenced by the increasing crop of pins and diamonds. Missticism was the culmination of our efforts to raise the standards of benefits and an in- dication of the effects of the psychology courses. The strange, new role of Big Sisters taught us even more of the meaning of friendship, as we strove to impart the Goat spirit to the Freshmen. With the election of our class members to the top campus offices came the realization that there was so little time left and so much yet to learn — as we approached that final year and that final song.

We look, back somewhat bewildered to that year deemed life upon the wicked stage, when our thoughts were of education with the aspirations of youth. Devils we were labelled, and indeed spastic devils we must have ap- peared as we made our way through the mazes of the campus. The setting at MWC did seem hectic those first few weeks — compulsory orientation, class registration, receptions, nostalgia, and not to be neglected, the rules and regulations of the Bayonet! Few have forgotten the many long lines, the maroon beanies, waiting for those two Willard tele- phones, the treasured one cut, the traditional Hi, and the stigma of campus cutting. But the shadows disappeared when the student body showed its spirit in Dixie and Yankee Doodle. Important was the role played by the big sister. Through the ranks of Peanut Week we learned to know many classmates. Our professors were influential, especially when semester grades were received. School- work was all forgotten when the week-ends rolled around, and we were off to visit our brother institution, among others, in search of relaxation after a long week. A pleasant mixture of learning and laughing marked the beginning. Vreshman D evilinent aud The sun was shining! Burke Hudson sallied forth un broum sticks. Years as B ein g Excitement echoed over the Hill as familiar faces and surroundings were spontaneously greeted. The Class of ' 57 was now an integral part of MWC. Life was just routine! Buzzing alarm clocks, trips to the C Shoppe, the mad dash for classes, bridge finesses, letter writing, and hopefully concentrated study made up the daily pattern. Supporting our French orphan was a gratifying experience. Being the first to occupy the new dormitories, Randolph and Mason, we experienced a rare privilege. Many a step and voice were spared by the new P.A. system; kitchens were a reality; the automatic washers and driers prevented those rough, red hands. The Golden Horseshoe represented the heights of luxurious living. The spirit of Christmas lightened scholastic burdens as the vacation neared. Decorated dorms, the annual band concert, and the tra- ditional serenade began a festive holiday season. Victory in the song contest made us proud of Mason as her spirited renditions won the plaque. Philosophical bull- sessions, learning to study and think for ourselves, and the realization that with the graduation of our Sister Class we were on our own, were evidences of an increasing maturity. Sophomore ' ' Just Routine Sou, uhu ' s got some recur Ji. ' and ire didn ' t go unrewarded. ' We shared ' til the very end. To each, his own. ' ' So symbolic ' ' ' Who ' s appealing to ivho? As Juniors We Planned and The push onward! We had come to the crossroads of our college career. The prevalent question was where do we go from here? Life was not all roses and Montivanti! Those of us who had not made the final decision concerning a major had a deadline, September registration. Individual interests had become more specialized, yet the class was closer. Westmoreland was actively aglow. A greater aware- ness of campus aaivities, responsibilities, and duties were apparent when campus leaders for the coming year were chosen from the Class of ' 57. How proud we were of them all. More thrills were experienced when a chosen few were tapped by honorary societies. Spring came and we were headed for the Junior social highlight — Ring Dance. The evening found the Gothic room a softly lighted dreamland. Appropriate was the atmosphere for the ring ceremony. Noticeable was the marked increase in the rings on the left hand, as well as the traditional pins. Junior year was important and busy, and hopefully, by June, we knew where we were going. Totvard the Challenging and you get to keep the tassels. DUZ did everything. Seniors We Reached This year the campus held a special beauty of humility and warmth. Tri-Unit, long a dream, became a reality. Artistry in Rhythm set the pace — all night lights, Saturday one o ' clocks, cars in Chandler Circle, unlimited cuts. Senior Day pride; these were ours at last! Outstanding was the inauguration of Chancellor Simpson, a genuine friend. We were busy with practice teaching, placement bureau inter- views, applications, and showers. May Day held a special meaning as we watched with pride the crowning of our queen by her maid of honor. Buddy Morrow offered the background for the merry, yet sentimental Farewell Ball. Baccalaureate and Graduation approached rapidly. Our time here seemed relatively short. Accomplishments had been significant. We leave a bit more somber and determined and we hope a little wiser. Yes, the Class of ' 5 shall always have memories of MWC. But, There is a time in every man ' s education that he must take himself for better, for worse, as his portion. . . . The power which resides in him is new in nature, and none but he knows what that is, which he can do, nor does he know until he has tried. — Emerson — Now we must face the future and we feel we are pre- pared to do so. ife of Our Future OFFICERS Seated: Preston, Richter.

Being a national professional music sorority, Mu Phi strives to foster an appreciation for music and serves as a channel for musical expression at its finest. To advance musical understanding abroad, Mu Phi collected bundles of music for schools overseas. At home they sold magazine subscriptions to help support Gadshill, a midwestern settlement house, and on the Hill they de- voted their talents to vocal and instrumental recitals for the pleasure of the student body. This year members performed in an American Music Program and ushered at Lyceum programs. PSI CHI Psi Chi, national honorary fraternity in the field of psychology, purposes to advance its particular science and to encourage, stimulate, and maintain a high scholarship among its individual members in all academic fields, and more especially in psychology. This year Psi Chi invited the famous contemporary psy- chologist, Dr. Hadley Cantril, to our campus to lecture on perception. With the Psychology Club, Psi Chi presented the movie Breakdown as another educational program of interest. Psi Chi members had practical experience in helping to grade the freshman remedial reading test. PSI CHI. First rnir: N. Ward, P. Falteich, A. Humphreys, E. McLaughlin, P. Smith. Second row: M.

Fifteen members of Eta S!gma Phi usually met at the home of Mrs. L. Sumner, where she displayed her large coin collection and showed colorful slides of her visit to Greece. The group also made a trip to Catholic University in Washington to see Orestia, a famous Greek tragedy. An incentive for girls interested in the classical languages is the award which was presented for the first time this year to a senior who had performed the most service to the club and who had attained a certain scholastic standard.

SIGMA OMEGA CHI Sigma Omega Chi is a club of outstanding sociology majors whose purpose is to acquaint its members with some particulars of their field through speakers, movies, exchange visits with other colleges, and actual welfare projects. Each year at Christmas time the club presents gifts to underprivileged children in Richmond through the Social Service Bureau in that city. Sigma Omega Chi was responsible for initiating the new Sociology Club on campus, for all those desiring to learn more about sociology and the work it does for man- kind. Mrs. Lydia Pauls saw this new club off to a start with her talk on the role of a social worker in a mental clinic. Words of light wisdom .

As each student pledges herself to respect the Honor System, she places herself in a position of dual responsibility. She is expected to act honorably in all relations and phases of campus life and to protect the Honor System. Such responsibility is necessary for the continued effectiveness of the System. The Honor Committee functions as a student organization, cooperat- ing and working for the best intetests of all. It is composed of a chairman elected by the student body, and the four class presidents. PATRICIA A. PRESTON Presiiieiit COUNCIL. Cooper, M.

As the year pro- gressed. Council was ever aware of their responsibility of fair- ness and duty toward promoting personal responsibility and a deep sense of integrity among the members of the Student Body. During second semester, the call for more united enthusiasm was met as each dorm contributed to the Song Contest. The impressive ceremonies of elections and installations brought the realization that the year was coming to a close. May Day saw the cooperation of SGA members in aiding one of the loveliest of campus activities. In evaluation, it can be stated that the year 1956-57 has been one of successful self-governing. This success can be attributed to the co-operative efforts of everyone at Mary Washington. OFFICERS AND EX OFFICIO MEMBERS. S. Elroy, A. Neff, M. Patten, B. Zimmer, E. Nitti. HOUSE PRESIDENTS.

It utilizes individuals of varying beliefs in service to the campus and community. Before the freshmen entered Mary Washington, senior com- missioners wrote cheery letters informing each incoming student of life on the Hill and of Y ' s part in that life. The Big-Little Sister tradition, sponsored by Y , has been rhe starting point of many lasting friendships and an aid to college adjustment. YWCA assisted with the freshman orientation period and sponsored Big-Little Sister Church Day, Meet Your Minister Night, and the Kid Parry. AUDREY NEFF President OFFICERS.

Chapel programs, the benefit Cat ' s Pajamas, Peanut Week, monthly Association meetings, the Toy Show, Christmas parties for underprivileged children, the Recognition Service, and many other traditional activities united students in purposeful fellowship. One of the most enriching experiences in our campus life were the traditional vesper programs planned and conducted by fellow students. Highlight of all Y activities was the annual Religious Emphasis Week. The theme Response to Reality was ex- plored through seminars, buzz sessions, talks, and informal chats in dorm rooms. Y sought not to replace the importance of the Church in a student ' s life, but rather to supplement the Church in helping students on the Hill to discover full richness in living.

Devil-Goat rivalry reached its peak in this year ' s intramural sports program as dorms battled dorms and Goats competed with Devils in basketball, volleyball, hockey, bowling, and golf. For those with less sporting knowledge, Council members gave instructions in tennis, archery, and bowling, and in bridge for the more sedentary students. In- formal Softball games and cabin parties gave physical develop- ment and pleasant recreation to leisure hours. Arm-banded R.

Basically it strives to benefit the individual student by presenting the club oppor- tunities and encouraging student participation in individually selected extra-curricular activities. Ulti- mately it attempts not only to encourage many areas of extra-curricular activity, but also to maintain a high quality of service among student organizations and to prevent an unbalanced college program. Inter-Club is an executive, rather than an activity organization. Through its regulation of student or- ganizations and through its enforcement of the point system, it attempts to alleviate overburdens of re- sponsibility and to spread opportunities for leader- Guided by Inter-Cluh, Campus Organizations COUNCIL.

The Inter-Club Council is the governing body of the organization and is composed of three executive officers, five ex-officio members, and representatives from each of the nine fields of extra-curricular interest. Through Open House and two freshman orienta- tion programs, Inter-Club acquaints i ncoming students with the club opportunities at Mary Washington. A special program in parliamentary law is ofifered each year to assist the club presidents in increasing the efficiency of their meetings. The program of Inter- Club is very flexible and is designed to meet the need of the student organizations as they arise. Its loyalty lies first in fostering an atmosphere conducive to individual growth, and secondly, in enhancing the effectiveness of each campus organization. INTER-CLUB OFFICERS. Dr. W. Kelley, M.

The organization ' s main function is to unite the large number of girls on campus who are a part of the nursing curricu- lum. As they shared interests and ideals, the soon-to-be nurses were encouraged toward their goal — the wide black band on a crisp white cap. The main event of the year was the annual trip to the Univer- sity of Virginia, where the goal became a panorama of reality that was viewed for a while, then tucked into their memories as a constant incentive to nursing perfection.

In planning programs, an attempt was made to cover different phases of psychology. Dr. Hadley Cantril lectured on perception to this organization and also to Psi Chi at a combined dinner meeting in the winter. Lectures on Mental Hygiene and other aspects of the field were provided by guests and members of the faculty. Pi. CII( )L()G (IXB. First row: Massie, Hapke, Mason, Levine, Sebrell, N. 1 A.

This group plays an im- portant role in helping to main- tain and to further the traditions of Mary Washington and in creating within other alumnae daughters a keen interest in the college. Monthly meetings, bake sales, Halloween and Christmas parties, and the spring picnic are all a part of their varied activities. Alumnae Daughters serve the school by guiding visitors on campus and by participating in Alumnae Weekend. LE CERCLE FRANCAIS The French Club strives to stimulate interest in France on campus, to improve pronuncia- tion, to acquire a knowledge of French culture, and to develop conversational ability. Le Cercle Francais gathers monthly in Brent, the French House, with speakers from France, the fac- ulty, and the student body par- ticipating in the programs.

Members of the club serve the school by setting up and caring for all microphones and public address systems which are used on campus for various func- tions, by publicizing all student ac- tivities, and by making recordings for students and townspeople when- ever desired. Three times a week the girls direct broadcasts over Station WM- WC, presenting such programs as disc jockey shows, interviews, stu- dent performances and speeches and selections of both popular and class- ical music. The Mike Club is train- ed in engineering, announcing, di- recting, and programming. El Club Hispanoamericano An active year was had by the Spanish club in its effort to inspire interest among its members in the cultures of Spanish speaking coun- tries. Two movies, Dona Perfecta and Dona Barbara, were shown this year, the latter commemorating Pan-American Week. To celebrate Columbus Day, Miss Rivera enter- tained the club with slides taken during her trip to Spain. Through visits to the Spanish and Argentine embassies, an insight was acquired into the people of these countries. Cuba was introduced to the club in a talk by a native of that island. Dr. Enrique Noble, who is now with the Department of Modern Languages at Goucher College in Maryland, a The Twelfth Night is a festive occasion among the Spanish and so it was for the club, welcoming in the Epiphany season.

HOME ECONOMICS CLUB The Christmas bazaar, bake sales, fashion shows, dinners — these are the fruits of labor of the Home Economics Club. Formed to create enthusiasm for the homemaking arts, it has suc- ceeded in producing individual and group expressions in the var- ious fields of Home Economics. For the first time members of the club prepared a ham supper and displayed their graciousness as hostesses to the faculty and students who were invited. On many occasions the club has ser- ved efficiently as a catering agency for dances, teas, and receptions. They were especially busy during the inauguration activities in the fall. FORMAL DANCE COMMITTEE The Formal Dance Committee, consisting of a Chairman elected by the student body, and mem- bers appointed from each class, was responsible for the success of the three big dances on cam- pus this year. The Inaugural Ball was one of the most suc- cessful dances ever given, and Stan Brown ' s band supplied the all important rhythm for the occasion. Yuletide brought the Lester Lanin band to our Christ- mas Dance. The season came to a successful close in March with the Emerald Ball. FORMAL DANCE COMMITTEE.

FENCING CLUB The Fencing Club, composed of stabbing young cavalierettes of the twentieth century, is open to all who have an interest and knowledge of the sport and who wish to aim for skill and per- fection. A better over-all under- standing and use of fencing is the primary objective of practice sessions held once a week. Club members attend exhibitions at Annapolis and in Washington, D. C, where various teams pre- sent excellent fencing demon- strations. The club also sponsors a Junior Fencing Club for be- ginners in the sport. TERRAPIN CLUB Outstanding Mary Washington mermaids are recognized by membership in the Terrapin Club, honorary swimming organization on the Hill. Membership is composed of those students who pass an entrance test and exhibit unusual talent and enthusiasm for swimming. Weekly meetings and constant practice in the pool combine to produce annual activities that indicate achievement. Fall splashed into season with an invitation picnic and New Faces, Old Places. This water exhibition was a pre- lude to the Spring Aquacade, the biggest show of the year. The Aquacade was Terrapin ' s program for RA ' s Sport ' s Day.

This band of riders and non-riders make themselves prominent in service to the school by doing various kinds of police work. They are trained for traffic duty, for acting as a welcoming committee, and for honoring the American flag at dawn and evening each day. Through marching drills and police training these girls learn to respond with prompt swift- ness and in emergencies, to give first aid. By untiring service and continual coordinated training, the Cavalry strives for perfectly syn- chronized activity. In lighter moments. Cavalry joined in the fun of their annual Gymkhana — musical chairs, potato races, all on horseback! They also helped the members of Hoofprints in their shows.

Hunts, trail rides, breakfast rides, cross-country rides, and Saturday night suppers bound horse-loving girls of Hoof- prints in closer fellowship at their home away from home — Oakhill Stables. Work crews rose at dawn each day to whitewash fences, rake leaves, clean stalls and, during the horse shows, to groom horses, braid tails, and tend to final details. The Fall Horse Show was open to outside participants, but only riding students displayed their horsemanship in the spring show. These equestriennes diligently worked to advance their theo- retical as well as practical knowledge of riding.

FONCIE LAWRENCE Edttor-in-Chief ELlZABiriH l-ORDHAM Business Ait nager THE 1957 BATTLEFIELD Battlefield is the product of combined efforts whose beginnings were calm, cool, and collected. Staffs organized, materials assembled, and Invest in the Best became the watchword. In rain, sleet, or sun cameras clicked, pencils scratched, keys clacked. The business staff sent out letters, gathered ads, nursed headaches, finding no evidence of early completion. Patiently and diligently each editor and staff member toiled with her respective assignment. Then the final deadline crept up, creating panic in the B-field room. Or- ganized chaos and disciplined haste accompanied by clanging pipes and blown out fuses almost burst open Custis basement. Midnight oils burned, hands worked, minds functioned over- rime until, finally, pages were ready for the printer ' s ink. Work was not yet finished. Hours passed in the reading and rereading of proof sheets. The final budget was completed. Details were mastered and with a sigh of relief and a twinge of regret the last of the proofs went again to the printer. Returned in new attire. Battlefield 1957 contained in its leaves the spirit of the whirlwind of studies, fun and traditions, that are Mary Washington College. With pride and a sense of accomplishment, the staff presented its creation to the student body. HARRIET AYRES Assistant Editor NANCY HALLETT Advertising Manager 4 163 PHOTOGRAPHY.

From the library ' s air of concen- tration to the winding paths around campus, a certain serenity was found . . . and shared. INTERFAITH COUNCIL Interfaith strives to create within the student an awareness of the importance of religion in life and to promote under- standing and fellowship among the re- ligious organizations on campus. This year three new student directors were in- troduced to the student body, and during the session each presented a sketch of her particular denomination to the Council. Through these speakers an interchange of understanding is created perpetuating the love of God in the hearts of Mary Washington.

Parties, nightly inspirations and devotions, prayer mates, choir, and Christmas carolling at the Con- valescent Home united the BSUers in fellowship, worship, study, service, and Christian love. With their new student director, Lucille Peak, they experienced an exceptionally active and fulfilling year. Throughout the term, missionaries, teachers, ministers, and students were in- vited to share their thoughts with the club. February marked the most impor- tant event of the year. Power Week and The Magnificent You . In the spring, BSU played hostess to the State Student Retreat held at the Fredericksburg First Baptist Church. As part of their evange- listic program, girls taught study courses, sang, and conducted prayer meetings in the surrounding areas of the community. Their roles as disciples of Christ were em- phasized every Sunday night at the Training Union. 4 169 } NEWMAN CLUB. Pirn roiv: E. Hill, S. Sides, B. Corbeel, E. Gooch, B. Bramson, C. Allison, S.

Weekly rosaries, Lenten Stations of the Cross, retreats, and choir participation served to magnify the religious devotion of New- manites. The intellect was stim- ulated by monthly meetings, lec- tures by visiting priests and lay people, panel discussions and movies interpreting various as- pects of Catholicism. The Club honored its founder in the an- nual observance of Cardinal Newman Day. The social calendar balanced the program with monthly com- munion breakfasts, dances with students of neighboring men ' s colleges, picnics, bake sales, and visits to the National Shrine and to the Franciscan Monastery in Washington. WESLEY FOUNDATION Through a varied program the Methodist Church on campus strives to meet the needs of each girl so that she may put Christ Above AH in her total life. Wesley reaches out beyond the local college to become an active part of the Virginia Methodist Student Movement. In the fall it held a Spiritual-Life Retreat with the University of Virginia Wesley Foundation, and in the spring it sponsored a State Con- ference jointly with the Rap- dolph-Macon College Fellowship, November 16 was a big day on the Wesley calendar as it marked the formal dedication of the fully-paid-for Methodist Student Center. A spirit of warmth and fellowship prevailed over all the Center ' s many ac- tivities as girls came together to serve, to learn, and to worship. csmg L AV g H( - ..

Be- sides attending conferences at Roslyn, the group made plans for establishing a Westminster Fellowship at Randolph-Macon College in Ashland. Serving their community, the West Fells prepared baskets of food for the needy in the Fredericksburg area. As a part of its study program the Fellowship had weekly pro- grams, with speeches by visitors from the Training School in Richmond, a talk by Dean Har- grove on prayer, and a series of study groups on protestantism.

A pro- gram of worship, study, and rec- reation was carried throughout each week in Bible study groups, Evening Prayer services, Wed- nesday morning Holy Com- munion, and Friday night ' s plan- ned programs of speakers, panels, movies, slides, hymn sings, pic- nics, parties, and dinners. The year opened with a wel- come party for the freshmen in the new Canterbury House on College Avenue. Visiting priests, doctors, professors, nuns, and lay- men brought success to the three main series of programs of Love and Marriage, Race Relations, and What I Believe. Members of Canterbury also served their church by teaching Sunday School and by singing in the choirs of Trinity and Saint George ' s Churches. { 171 t - HILLEL FOUNDATION Hillel Foundation, the Jewish re- ligious organization, tries to provide social, cultural, and welfare activities for the Jewish girls on the campus. Rabbis from Fredericksburg and Charlottesville advise the group and attend the programs, which are held twice a month.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE ORGANIZATION The Christian Science Organi- zation on campus gives to girls who belong to the Christian Science denomination a chance to become acquainted with each other and to gather together for fun, fellowship, and worship. Members participate in devotional services twice a month as a part of their worship program. An adult leader from the Christian Science group in town usually serves as leader and adviser for the organi- zation. Once a year a speaker is in- vited to the campus to explain the beliefs of the Christian Science Church to the student body. CHRISTIAN SCIENCE. First row: Purcell.

Mary Washington Players Mary Washington Players is the spark behind every campus production. Its members, skilled in directing, lightin.i;, scene planning, make-up, and acting, spend many hours and days in prepa- ration for opening night. Time is not their own — the show must go on! This season opened with a box office sellout, Of Thee I Sing, directed by Albert R. Klein, A good year was com- pleted with three other plays — Squar- ing the Circle, a Russian comedy; Pillar of Fire, an original melodrama by Robert G. Armstrong; and Caesar and Cleopatra, by George B. Shaw. Commemorating the inauguration of Chancellor Simpson, Players presented More Swift than Larks , an original script written by one of its members, Virginia Nettles. It was again pre- sented in Richmond for the Intercol- legiate Drama Festival. These thespians devoted additional hours to backstage technical work at Lyceum numbers, convocations, and as- semblies. Recognition for outstanding efforts and performances in service to Players was announced Awards Night in the Little Theater before the entire dub. Now, enunciate more carefully OFFICERS.

ITS l- Grantz, McDcrmo OF THEE I SING The first musical comedy to be presented on Mary Washington ' s campus, Of Thee I Sing, proved a great success with two con- secutive sell-out nights. Shown in the fall of election year, George B. Gershwin ' s Pulitzer Prize winning political satire was a timely play to give. Because it required a large array of singers, dancers, and actors, it was pro- duced in association with the music and dance departments. It was directed by Albert R. Klein of the drama department.

SQUARING THE CIRCLE Directed by Mark Sumner and produced by the Mary Washington Players, Squaring the Circle unfolded on stage in duPont Little Theater the sixth of December for a three- day presentation. Set in the early thirties, this Russian comedy was written by Valentine Kataev. Jo Dubin and Mary Ann McDermott took the leading female roles with Albert Klein in the male lead as Vassya. Through expert backstage work combined with student and town talent, the curtains closed on another successful play for Players. Sympathy without tea! They listened intently. €{ ITT CONCERT AND JUNIOR DANCE Choreography, cosrume design, and make-up are arts supplied by the Con- cert dancers in campus plays and bene- fits. Under the sponsorship of Mrs. Claudia Read, Concert Dance func- tions as a body of advanced modern dancers working for perfection through practice and application of skills and techniques. Their talents are used to teach the junior dance group and to entertain in the May Day pageantry. This year they also went on tour to Ashland and Alexandria. Concert Dance presented a suite of Canterbury Preludes in movement for Chancellor Simpson ' s Inauguration, adding to the activities of the three- day inaugural festivity. Each year a member is honored by being selected to attend the Connecticut College Summer School of Dance on a scholar- ship given by the Recreation Associa- tion. An apprentice group works with Concert Dance gaining enough skill and grace in artful expression to be accepted as Concert Dancers. JUNIOR DANCERS.

In its meet- ings it aims to advance the cause of worthy church music. After hours of practice, a few sour notes, then more practice, the members traveled confidently to the nation ' s capital to enter competitions sponsored by the Washing- ton Guild. Throughout the year these young organi sts displayed their talents by playing for convocations and assemblies and by giving individual concerts at various times. The two big events of the year were the Christmas Con- cert and the Spring Recital, in which all the members participated. Included in this year ' s program were a movie on the Compenius Organ of Denmark and several speakers from Washington churches. Picnics provided fun and laughs for the group. ORGAN GUILD.

MARY WASHINGTON COLLEGE ALL-GIRL BAND By a combination of enthusiasm and talent, the Mary Washington All-Girl Band provided entertainment and added enjoyment to many of our school programs, the highlight of which was the White Christmas Concert. To the beat of rolling drums and the blare of a trumpet, the girls marched off with first place in the George Washington Parade in Alexandria. The band stepped lively in parades in Win- chester and Washington, D. C. on the occasions of the Apple Blossom and Cherry Blossom Festivals.

Our measurement is the events falling within the scope of this time. Each incident makes its impression and con- tributes to a pattern to be noted in every aspect of life on the Hill. The meaning is singular to those who live it. To some, this year past marks a commencement. To others, it provides a con- nection between two stages of growth. For a few, it sights termina- tion. Thus, a year runs its course — a succession of incidents and episodes from which we acquire ideas and feelings enabling us to better mold the structures of our lives. Living together provided interaction for activity that comprised the whole of our existence. We came to better self-understanding in our relations with others, and through our own understanding aided the interest of others. Exciting hours weighed equally with quiet moments. We delighted in companionship and felt gr atified in solitude. There were times when the line of growth was interrupted or wavered in uncertainty as we faced difficult obstacles. There were periods of leveling ofT as we awaited the strength to continue upward and on in our development. Yet we bore these intervals, we benefited from them, we continued our course. For the total import of this year, we shall have to wait until its experiences can be judged in their entirety at some time in the future. Standing now in its immediacy, this year 1957 has been for us a length of time enriched by the hope and confidence in which we lived its separate moments. Each season brought its mon and left them - . . ahta-)S to be iemembt,iLd. BALL AND CUSTIS AND MADISON After three years, those who had looked longingly at the circular stairway took residence in Tri-Unit. The class was large but Seniors found a closeness in living together in Ball, Madison, and Custis. Soon came the thrill of the first serenade and new faces were peering over the second and third floor railings as the class of 1957 atteinpted to pass on to its sister class of 1959 something of the spirit of Mary Washington. The first wearing of caps and gowns and the marching in Dr. Simpson ' s Inaugural procession brought a realization that actually the long awaited day was not too far distant. Tri-Unit bustled with activit) ' as Mrs. G. watched artists, dancers, and musicians of all sorts parading by. Finally something new in benefits came about through Artistry in Rhythm. Christmas spirit and soapsuds transformed Ball parlor into a heaven, while Madison and Custis were adorned accordingly and the angel-voices of the Willard Choir added to the beauty of the season. Tri-Unit wit- nessed much excitement as the parlor became the scene of a party announcing the May Queen and her court. Then spring came and caps and gowns were worn down the circular stairway for the last time. Tri-Unit had reached the end of another year and had successfully brought together, in lasting friendship, many girls now gone their separate ways. I It takes all kinds of motivation. ' ' The grass was always greener on the other side of the bars. 188 }:«■ All in favor say ' Aye ' . Do you think it would look like that on me. [ 189 Y-!- WESTMORELAND Westmoreland housed a class which had found the way and was settling down uo pursue it. Juniors spent more time in study and played harder than they ever had be- fore. Courses in their majors provided academic thrills, and positions of responsibility on the Hill required concen- trated efforts. Some Juniors were living in other houses on the campus, but West- moreland became the center of Junior activities such as ordering rings, planning ben- efit committees, and practic- ing for the dormitory song contest. This was a year for class unity such as had never yet been achieved. The re- turn from Christmas brought a deluge of diamonds which was later supplemented at Ring Dance. Westmoreland fell into a studious hush at exam time, for acquiring important quality points and credit hours brought that de- gree one step closer. In the spring new campus leaders were discovered in Westmore- land as Juniors moved for- ward to accept the positions and honors which would lead to a creative and rewarding - senior year.

' :i 191 ); - RANDOLPH AND MASON Many were afforded the pleasure of country club splendor for a second year as the Golden Horseshoe housed Juniors along with its usual occupants, the Sophomores. Those living in Randolph and Mason for the first time were delighted with the new furni- ture, kitchens, washing machines, and rec rooms, while the old-timers continued to revel in the luxury. A coat of paint for the entire Horseshoe gave it a warmer aspect and mementos of the first two years of college life accumulated in the atmosphere of carpeted parlors and a marble fountain. The events of the year were exciting — the benefit, the song con- test, and most of all the Christmas dorm decorating contest, in which Randolph took top honors. Also, some of the Horseshoe ' s residents received outstand- ing recognition in the campus elections and club initiations. During this year old friendships were strengthened, new ones were formed, and the Sopho- mores began to think and act together as they be- came an integral part of life on the Hill. Dearest ]i, Deck the halls Where the elite meet to eat. ' Ain ' t love grand? 193 y VIRGINIA Life in Virginia was excit- ing in 1957. Many Sopho- mores had the privilege of in- troducing incoming Freshmen to the ways of Mary Wash- ington and Virginia in partic- ular. Some hours were spent in arranging class schedules only one Saturday class: and studying . . . had to make Deans hist! Just as much time was spent in water bat- tles, Chinese fire drills, and bridge playing. Sophomores and Freshmen joined together in campus activities, some with pleasant memories of past experience and others with the exuberance of the first time. As the school year set its pace, Virginia ' s occu- pants joined club commhtees, were active in producing plays, participated in the dor- mitory Vespers program, and became a part of Mary Wash- ington. Although the resi- dents of Virginia were of di- verse backgrounds and had many and varied interests, they joined together in har- mony for the dorm decorating and song contests with an en- thusiasm that was most re- wardmg They had a great deal of fun using rhe P. A. system to announce callers and peering through the swingmg doors to get a gUmpse of that blind date. Playing and working together, the girls who lived in Vir- ginia learned the value of co- operation and thus contrib- uted much to their own de- velopment and to that of Mary Washington. So this is liberal arts! Santa took a boost. { 195 WILLARD This year Willard welcomed her Freshmen with a surprise — a new coat of paint, new furniture, and a kitchen. However, it wasn ' t long before the newness wore off and we became the typical Freshmen, making the most noise, remaining on campus the fewest week ends, and showing the most spirit. Dean ' s Team became the by-word, and with it noisy hour gained special significance. Vespers were an integral part of each day, and this sharing colored all phases of our dorm life. Our unity became apparent to all at Christmas time as Willard was trans- formed into the Road to Bethlehem. The Willard Choir contributed a Christmas cantata to the campus holi- day celebration, then was soon hard at work on their Easter program. Led on as always by that spirit of unity, we presented our best in the Song Contest, knowing that the trust and the friendships were sufficient reward for our efforts. Spring brought with it the cloud of dog- wood behind Willard, as well as a new interest in the fish pond. As the year came to a close, we realized that we now possessed that intangible something which would go with us throughout our Ijves — the Willard Spirit. ' Quizzie ' tomorrow.

To give this program the spirit and enthusiasm it requires, a strong but friendly rivalry is promoted by the division of the classes into Devils and Goats. Students entering in an odd year become Devils and those entering in an even year accept the emblem of Goat. Throughout the year students participate energetically or give encouraging moral support from the sidelines in numerous competitive activities, such as swimming meets, basketball games, and hockey tournaments. The compensation is not restricted to these organized events but prevails throughout the year in daring feats such as snatching away and hiding the rival group ' s The Dei ' il Manager went As We Cheered O ur DEVIL CHEERLEADERS.

Highpoint of the rivalry comes on Devil-Goat Day, when each girl on campus wears the colors of her team and the entire day is filled with relays, tugs-of-war, and humorous pranks. The points accumulated by each team are totaled in the spring, with the winning group receiving the victor ' s due. The friendly compe- tition stimulated by Devil-Goat activities creates school spirit and liveliness on the Hill as it draws each class into a closer entity and allies the sister classes. In over-all perspective, Devil- Goat rivalry creates an energetic participation in the recreational phases of college life and gives students a chance to put into practice the friendliness and good sportsmanship for which M ' WC is noted.

White Beanies Polka-dotted the Cainpuu Fall witnessed the coming of new additions to life on the hill, as evidenced in the flood of white beanies. Milling and moving freshmen highlighted the scene in their early state of organized confusion. Many were the questions seeking answers in class and dorm meetings as well as in smaller coun- seling groups. Upperclassmen found it difficult to settle down to the usual routine, some for the last time in this particular environment. We began the year in the not too uncommon humidity which seemed so oppressive. Eagerly awaiting touches of red and yellow announcing brisk mornings, we summoned vitality to add zest to purposeful existence. We found energy for the events and festivities of the much anticipated Inaug- uration, which lent brightest coloring to autum at Mary Wash- ington. Shortly thereafter, an air of Halloween goblins and jack-o-lanterns was felt as toothless grins leered at dry leaves scratching against the briskness that sent us shivering home after dinner for an evening of study — we liked to think. After the worried concentration for midsemesters, we met Thanksgiving relaxation happily. We were filled with ex- uberance as we completed the season of autumn and awaited with the eagerness of youth the events of the season to follow. ' 7 wish it u ' ere a little tnore potent.

Guardian angels surround Our yearly treat. Winter was escorted to MWC in the com- pany of sharp blasts of wind which spurred all of us to activity. The days before the long awaited recess in December were filled with preparation, with parties, and a visit from Santa Claus. We sang with good cheer and wrapped ourselves in long, striped scarves against the ever present cold. Monroe audi- torium was the scene of Artistry in Rhythm, which added color to the cold. R. A. ' s Rodeo fastened our thoughts on the wide open spaces and fun. We completed term papers in a surprisingly short time and frequently consulted the calendar in figuring out complicated exam schedules. The library was filled with the silent, the frowning, the concentrating many determined to make the Dean ' s team. On the eventful blue book days, activity was noted only at the hours of nine and two in the measured steps of those who carried an extra weight of knowledge. Second semester saw some individuals relieved to be on the last lap and endowed with added privileges. The little Singers of Paris captured our hearts with their beautiful voices and boyish smiles. We were stirred by the rhythm and resonance of the Don Cossacks. Eager bidders made next year ' s scholarship a possibility at Chi Beta Phi ' s auction. Juniors demonstrated their talents in Missticism. There were the inevitable deadlines — this was a busy time. Throughout all was the feeling of working and playing together. Our efforts were directed to the wholeness of existence. We came to realize the joy found in the satisfaction of a job well done. 4 210 jSs- All a part ' j the Christmas rush.

Sophomores and freshmen displayed talent and forgot inhibitions in success on Mon- roe ' s stage. The campus, ever attractive, seemed to come alive in the beauty of the season. The long awaited Senior Day brought vmderclassmen out of hibernation to bow to the wishes of the firsties. May Day found a radiant queen amid a court of loveliness. The full splendor of spring and the shade of quiet walks saw seniors musing on the beauty and tranquility they would soon leave. Devils and Goats announced the arrival of big-day compe- tition by shattering early morning serenity. Exams brought culmination to a year rich with memories. We felt a sense of pride in what we had gained. A sense of finality was brought to those, who, on a morning early in June, received the long awaited diploma, instilled with the knowl- edge that now they were truly able to commence. This was perhaps the greatest change spring brought to life on the hill. Lazy Saturday afternoon , ? so ie energy . ' lixeJ chats with st iJies. { 216 The appetizer and the dessert.

Dream on, little girl We never had it so clean. To Complete the Span of a Year 4 227 t A )-mis One aspect of our development has closed with the turning of the last of these pages. The joys and sorrows, the ups and downs of important years have become echoes of the past. It is most fitting that we should cherish the memories of columns and chimes and that we should harbor within us a niche for those whom we shall never see again. It is fitting that we should willingly come to the end of this era and move on to what awaits us. As v e step into the future, we shall not be afraid, for Mary Washington has given us the qualities neces- sary, not merely to live, but to fulfill life. We have a faith in ourselves that the effort and pride which family, teachers, and friends have contributed to our lives will not have been given in vain. As we move confidently forward to take our places in the world, we carry within us the comforting assurance that Truth gained at Mary Washington will remain with us forever. J - !| — A SALUTE TO THE ADVERTISERS I would like to take this opportunity to thank each of the advertising firms represented within the following pages for the major role they have played in the production of the 1957 BATTLEFIELD. We of the staff have worked together to pro- duce what we feel is an outstanding annual, but no amount of hard work could produce such a book without the wholehearted support of the advertisers. Because of the many interested friends of Mary Washington College, the advertising section this year is one of the largest in our history. We are proud to have each and every one represented here. Certainly the Class of 1957 and those that follow will remember you as friends of Mary Washington College of the University of Virginia. We wish to express our appreciation to you for helping us make our yearbook a success. Nancy D.
