THE CAULDRON PUBLISHED BY SIGMA EPSILON PI FRATERNITY THE NORFOLK DIVISIONS ------OF— THE COLLEGE OF WILLIAM AND MARY THE VIRGINIA POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE FOREWORD With the publication of this first Year-book at the Norfolk Division a long dream comes true. Able leaders in our student-body planned to bring out an annual three years ago, but it remained for • the present members of Sigma Epsilon Pi Fraternity to bring the plan to fruition. A college without an annual is like Santa Claus without his whiskers, and all of us should take just pride in the beginning which has been made; at the same time we should look forward with hope and confidence to bigger and better annuals in the succeeding years. With its able faculty and its splendid student-body, the Norfolk Division, in spite of limited physical facilities, has done remarkably sound educational work since its beginning six years ago. Accordingly it is indeed fitting that the Division should have an annual to preserve the more interesting features of its student life for those who will follow us through the years to come. If critics deal severely with our work, let us still take pride in it, knowing that it is ours and that we did our best. W. T.

Page four. The College The Norfolk Division of the College of William and Mary and the Virginia Polytechnic Institute is fully accredited for two years of college work. Like many other colleges it conducts in addition a number of extension courses for afternoon and evening students who cannot attend the regular day courses of the Division. No degrees are awarded at the Norfolk Division, but the courses are carefully selected to fit into a four-year curriculum. The excellence of both students and instruction is attested by the high proportion of students from the Norfolk Division who have been elected to Phi Beta Kappa during their senior year. The Extension Department is now seventeen years old. Full college credit is given for work in Chemistry, Biology, Physics, English, Modern Languages, Mathematics, Accounting, Economics, etc. Students in the Extension Department may obtain as many as 30 semester hours credit toward degrees from the College of William and Mary. The Summer School, conducted by the V. P. I. Division, offers college work in all courses required for the first two years of the engineering curriculum, Mathematics, Chemistry, Physics, English, Surveying, etc. Page five. Page six, t « r ¥ I Students! Grounds and buildings do not make a college. Laboratories and libraries are not a college. A faculty does not constitute a college. But students ARE a college. You are this college! Think well of your college. Speak well of it. Tell outsiders that it ranks with the best; that it is better than most. Grow with it. It is what you are. It is as good as you make it. Page seven. OFFICERS OF ADMINISTRATION AND INSTRUCTION vfSWSv Page eight William Thomas Hodges, A. M., Ed. D. DEAN OF THE NORFOLK DIVISION William Forrest Harrington, M.

The Honor System requires that men shall in all their relations of student life act. honorably. Lying, stealing, cheating, or breaking one’s pledged word of honor under any circumstances are considered as infringements of the Honor Code. Upon conviction by the Honor Council the result in such cases will always be dismissal from the College. The pledge in classes on quizzes, examinations, written problems and exercises means that the work which a student hands in to his instructor is his own, which he himself has done in accordance with the requirements of the course as laid down by the instructor.

The football Beason of 1935 was from everyone’s point of view a success. The high point of the season was the defeat of the William and Mary Freshmen at Bain Field by a score of 7-4. The appearance of Gallaudet College on the schedule was an event of great interest, and though Galiaudet’s team had been much weakened by injuries, the game was interesting and well played. The team was probably the best trained and most unified of all teams to represent the Norfolk Division. Much credit for the team’s excellence must go to coaches Scott and Miles, whose ability to make a first-rate team is remarkable. To Captain Dick Dozier, too, goes much credit for his leadership and his inspiring playing. We shall always remember the season for these reasons: Dozier’s passing and generalship, Denny’s and Earl Jackson’s tackling, and Hogan’s kicking and broken-field running, and Kyle’s and Barnes’s aggressive end play.

Page forty-six Page forty-seven THE FOOTBALL TEAM Basketball Season 1935S6 The basketball season, like the football season, was a success. With a small but expert and experienced squad, Captain Freddy Edmonds and his team won eleven of seventeen games. The victory longest to be remembered was that over the William and Mary Freshmen by the one-sided score of 58-23. The end of the season found the already small squad riddled by injuries, which caused the loss of the last three games. On the whole, however, the success of the team against handicaps was remarkable. THE SQUAD C. F. Edmonds...............................Captain A. A. Mervis................................Manager T.

The first, against the Fredericksburg State Teachers College team, was lost by a score of 3 to 0. The other, against the William and Mary Freshmen, resulted in a tie score, 1 to 1. We hope that next year our schedule will be longer, and with the experience gained in the past year’s work, we look forward to a successful season.

Despite the lack of experienced players, which proved a severe handicap, the women’s basketball team made a very creditable showing for the season of 1935-36. Playing against teams which were generally superior in experience and frequently in reserve strength, the record shows six games won, six lost, and one tied. The squad of players was rather small, and this meant in an emergency that each of the players had to be able to fill in at nearly any position. THE SQUAD Kathleen Peek.....

Opening the new stadium, with its improved equipment for track, we expected great things of the team. However, the competition was too great, and the season consisted of one defeat after another. The track team is to be praised, however, for scheduling only college and senior teams, a practice which we believe will result in better performances by our men. Individually the best performances by members of the track team were a new record of 4 minutes, 66J seconds in the mile run set by Stuart Baldwin, and a new pole vault record of 10 feet, 11 inches set by Bob Rawl.

Page fifty-] our Page pfiy-five THE TRACK TEAM BASEBALL Season 19S0. Starting the year with nearly a veteran team reinforced by several new players of high reputation, a good season baseball seemed inevitable. However, the team never managed to get under way. and the season ended with the disappointing record of six games won and eleven lost. One ray of light appeared in the general gloom the defeat of the William and Mary Freshmen by a score of six to five. No season can be considered a total loss which gives us a victory over our big brothers from the little town. Among individual achievements may be noted the hitting improvement shown by Ed Holland and Dick Dozier and the hitting and pitching of Woody Barnes Anyone who saw many of the games will remember the remarkable swinging of Ear’ Jackson, who con nected—when he did connect—for nothing less than a trip'e.

The original building, until now the home of the entire college, will from September on be devoted entirely to science and engineering. It will house the departments of chemistry, biology, physics, engineering, and mathematics. Ail the other departments, including physical education, will move to the new building. The main attraction of the new building is its complete equipment for athletic activities. A huge main gymnasium for men's athletics, a somewhat smaller but surprisingly large women’s gymnasium floor, a swimming pool seventy-five feet long, locker rooms and showers of the most modern type for both men and women, and various smaller rooms are features of the athletic equipment. Both gvmnasium and swimming pool have adequate seating accommodations. Just outside the gymnasium is to be found the new stadium, by far the largest and most beautiful in this area. It seats some eighteen thousand people and is equipped with a heavily turfed football field and a quarter mile cinder track. The opening football game early in September will inaugurate a series of important and stirring spectacles in the stadium. The new building includes, also, several offices for the administration and faculty, six classrooms, and a greatly enlarged and very attractive library. It is the general feeling at the Norfolk Division that with its acquisition of this new equipment the usefulness of the college to the community as a whole and particularly to the students who attend it will be increased many fold. Few colleges the size of the Norfolk Division can offer facilities which parallel those afforded to the student here.

This growth was climaxed in September, 1935, when the size of the paper was increased by forty percent, to its present size. With its steady increases in size, The High Hat has expanded its scope, and is now not only covering the news of the Norfolk Division, but through a n a-tional collegiate news bureau brings to its readers weekly the news of the college world and, through the medium of the Collegiate Digest, the news in pictures. As evidence of the fact that The High Hat has progressed, it was recently announced that this paper had won second class honor rating in a national critical contest sponsored by Associated Collegiate Press, in which nearlv every college publication in the United States participated. The High Hat took an active part in the fight against ineffectual student government at the Norfolk Division during the past year, and was. in a large part, responsible for the action that was taken. This is only one of the many ways in which the student paper of the Division has responded to the needs of its student subscribers. This newspaper endeavors, in addition to offering complete news coverage, to present outstanding values through the medium of its advertising columns. The High Hat is endorsed by the Norfolk Retail Merchants’ Association. Of the eight executive staff members of The High Hat, only three are planning to return to Norfolk Division next fall. Dexter MacBride, present associate editor, will return to assume the duties of editor; Judd Lewis, to become business manager; and Francis Ritter, managing editor. Wilson L. Dozier, editor of the 1936 High Hat, plans to enroll in the college in Williamsburg; Charlotte N. McLean, feature editor, at Barnard College, New York; and Sydney Cohen and David B. Finestone, sports editor and business manager, respectively, plan to enter the School of Journalism at. the University of Missouri next September.
