I I ' I foreword.... THE VOYAGER . . . we present it as a symbol, not only of the past which has been but of the future which is to come. As wc face this future, we do so more confidently because of the guidance and knowledge wc have acquired here. Though many important worldwide events have been witnessed in the last several years, wc feel that many things equally important to us have taken place within our small realm of college life. In this book, we record these events and activities so that you who have participated in them may be able to reminisce with pleasure the days we have spent together. cJhe untold want by life and land ne e'l granted, -flow voyageY sail forth to seek ant I find.

White, B.S. and M.S., Virginia Polytchnic Institute The Administration Building, erected in 1936, is situated in the middle of the campus and around it centers both academic and social life. The first floor provides administrative offices for the Director, Assistant Director, Registrar, and business stafT. The south wing houses the library, and the north wing houses class rooms lor English, History, and Psychology. In the rear of the building arc Bud’s Emporium, the two gyms, and the swimming pool. The second floor houses the offices of several faculty members, the social hall, lecture and typing rooms, and the music room. The Science Building is the oldest structure on the campus. Inside its ivy-covered walls future engineers, scientists and mathematicians spend countless hours in lecture and lab work. In the basement are the Counseling and Veterans’ Administration Offices. In the rear of the basement are the Physics l ab and High Hat Office. The first floor houses the radio workshop from which weird sounds issue forth continuously, the Psych and Bacteriology Labs, several lecture halls, and the office of the Voyager. The odor of formaldehyde and hydrogen sulfide tell us when we reach the second floor. On this floor are located the chemistry and biology labs along with engineering and fine arts workshops. Foreman Field, the largest stadium in the State, stands imposingly next to the Administration Building. It was built in 1936, and since that time hundreds of football games have been held there. Both high school and out-of-town college teams kick the pigskin over its grassy field. But as one walks down the brick paths to these buildings, one feels the real beauty of the campus. Its well-kept lawns-its profusion of daffodils, camellias, and a aleas; its majestic trees and rambling roses ... all these make the campus one of which all can be justly proud.

It was an almost unbelievable sight to see so many men strolling across the campus. The formerly empty booths in Bud's were crowded with men for a change, and the book lines reminded one of the Army and Navy chow lines. Classrooms were jammed at all hours of the day with Vets eager for learning. Former officers rubbed shoulders with former privates, and remnants of uniforms were the last tangible evidences of their G. I. days. Now they are full-fledged civilians, taking up their education where they had left off.

From the time the door first opens in the morning till the last straggler leaves, Bud's is swarming with both the faculty and the students. Beavers cram sandwiches down while nervously thumbing through dog-eared texts—the resulting indigestion due more to Plato's Republic than to the “combination.” An art student gazes hopelessly yet hopefully at an unfinished landscape painting. Another student pokes her glasses up and rests them precariously on her forehead while someone tries to explain why the Tangent of Angle A is the same as the Cotangent of Angle B. Three co-eds lounge on the davenport and casually read the High lint while exchanging remarks about the owner of the pair of trousered legs that just walked by. “And what did you say the charge on Hydrogen was?” This is Bud’s—gently yet forcibly presided over by Bud. better known on sales receipts as Audry Paul. He needs no introduction—he's the devoted friend and advisor to each and every one of us. No matter what our problems are, we can always count on his full cooperation and aid. We all remember our first day at school and that lost and bewildered feeling. It was Bud who buckcd-up our spirits and became our first real friend. His whole character of smiling goodwill permeates his Emporium. But there are some things you don’t know about Bud. In 1935 he was a student here, studying business administration. He had a part-time job at the little lunch counter in the basement of the Science Building, of which he soon became capable enough to manage by himself. In 1945, the Emporium jx ppcd its seams and was moved over to the Administration Building, and was equipped with modern booths, shining counters, and at long last—a jukc-!xx ! Wherever we go and whenever we think of our days here at school, we'll always think of Bud and his Emporium. Bud's is not just a place to gab and cat it is an institution in itself. u7T' FREE 'ing C xams Ink Blotters Asperins Sympathy Regina O’Brien William W. Seward, Jr. Pdilor-in-Chiej.................

There was some daydreaming, some talk; but nothing more productive than a few ardent hopes—not without reservation. With the end of the war came the rcblossoming of the college. The Veterans arrived; the sophomore and freshmen classes were organized: new clubs were formed; and old ideas were abandoned for new ones. In the midst of the confusion of organization, the first tangible signs of a yearljook were taking shape. At an early meeting of the Sophomore Class, a committee was formed whose purpose was to collect the necessary data upon which a yearljook might be built. The committee, headed by Regina O’Brien, consisted of: Anne Ball, Mary Frances Perry, Mansi Kane, Abie Johnson, Mildred Dozier, Shirley Gcdmin, and Delores Heuttc. Estimates on engravings, printing, binding, and photography were collected and reported to the Sophomore Class. After discussing the pro's and con's of the project, they trustingly endorsed it. The first meeting of the yearljook staff was called early in November. 'I he time was already short; the work to be done was great; but the spirits were high. Room 206 was buzzing with prospective workers. Regina O'Brien was elected Editor-in-Chicf, and a tentative staff was organized to Ijegin work. Deadlines were set, then altered; pictures were taken and retaken; reviews were written, then rewritten; layouts were planned and replanned. The staff couldn't boast experience, but it had energy. Minds buzzed; typewriters clicked; pencils, pens, and brushes went to work; and busy feet beat a path to advertisers’ doors. Finally a dummy of the book was put together and sent to the printers on April 1st—and here's the result. This first edition of the Voyager is but an attempt to give you a tangible record of your life at this college, and to establish a worthwhile precedent here. If, in the future, this lnjok can transport you back to Spanish classes, basketball games, biology labs, and cokes in Bud's, we'll feel that our efforts have been monumentally rewarded.

The atmosphere is tense, and a dense cloud of smoke envelopes the occupants in a dim haze. Uj on closer inspection one finds that there are five or six people sitting or standing around the room. Some are scribbling furiously; at least one is gazing ofT into infinity, waiting for inspiration to come tumbling down from the ceiling; another is hunched over a typewriter, knocking out sheet upon sheet of copy. Then—someone comes tearing in, clutching a piece of paper and screaming, “Here’s the latest dope on the such and which, chief, got it straight from the old boy himself!” If you’re still wondering what this is all alxmt, dispel any thoughts of madmen waiting for their straight jackets; it’s only the High Hat staff in action. Twice a month the alx ve scene is enacted, or a reasonable fascimile thereof, and the result is the paper which you have received throughout the current year. All was not accomplished unaided, and so the stafT takes off its High Hat to Dr. Lucker, sponsor, Dr. Gray, Mr. Webb, and all the others who lent a helping hand. Needless to say, the magnificent work of Editor Heutte is evidenced in every line of High Hat print. So, another year is gone, and the High Hat goes on as it has in the past, providing the student Ixxly with a publication of which they can be justly proud.

The Honor System is based on the principle that all students shall act honorably in their relations with one another and with the faculty and the administration. The Council, composed of six regular mcmlxTs and six alternates, operated this year for the first time under a new constitution.

The governing body is the Student Senate and is composed of ten memljcrs, each of whom serves for one year. Five members are elected at the beginning of the second semester and five more before the summer vacation. This makes it possible to have five experienced members who will begin work each semester. Each student considers it his duty and privilege to do his utmost to cooperate when called upon as as individual or as a member of the student body.

It was organized by Ann Gray who generously gave her time to arrange for the many successful meetings held this year. The work of the Foreign Relations Club has been based on the desire for free thought, free discussion. and honest conviction in regard to current international problems. The purpose is not to resist or resent the opinions of others, but to learn from them.

Ohmsen, Dolores Peck, Jerome Rosenblum, Howard Reuben, Elizabeth Seelinger, Mary White The Jones’ Biology Club, primarily concerned with promoting and fostering interest in biology, also has as its goal, the furthering of intellectual and social contacts among students majoring in this subject. The club presented several guests who spoke on current advancements in medical science during the year. The annual Open House Exhibit, discontinued during the war, was again offered to the public this year by the club, under the direction of its president, Mary Frances Perry. The field trips this year proved to be huge successes. With the coming of spring, the members piled into cars and headed toward Seashore State Park where they collected numerous specimens of plant and animal life. After the serious work was done the plants in the presses and the animals in the jars the future biologists dropped their nets and vasculums, and took to the simpler things in life, like roasting weinies, singing, and dancing.

During the term, the club mem l crs discussed many subjects of interest in chemistry and science as a whole, and witnessed several demonstrations of chemical phenomena. The club, presided over by its president, Nancy Neville, created a bond of fellowship among the students interested in chemistry. GreekCU Chairman. .. Frances Kane Sponsor Mr. Robert C. McClelland Members: Evett Allen, Bette Lea Bowden, Dorothy Burns, Anne Gray, Betty Murphy, Ethyl Pollock In September, under the sponsorship of Mr. McClelland, a group of interested students met together and organized the Greek Club. Weekly meetings were headed by Chairman Hansi Kane. The mem- Ikts prolied the vast wealth of Greek learning, and studied the Greek alphaliet and its pronounciation. The spring meetings were devoted to Greek philosophy, especially as framed in Plato's Republic. One of the most interesting topics discussed this year was the fascinating lives of the Greek women.

It has since its beginning gained many supporters from the student body. Meetings were well attended throughout the year with many discussions and movies about Pan-American customs and relations. The enjoyment of the meetings was increased by Spanish-speaking visitors, who spoke about their native countries. In the future, the Spanish Club will continue to do its small part in establishing an appreciation of and interest in the Spanish-speaking world. THE INTERCLUB COUNCIL President..

Though memliers drifted off to the Army and Navy periodically, the club survived, and by the end of the first semester it boasted eighteen members. Formal dances, banquets, and plain old stag parties followed—and the fellows will testify to their success. The club was thriving beautifully on wine, women, and song, when it liecamc evident that disruptions were in store. Chap Curling, Henry Ellis and Shorty Long were whisked off to the Army! But with the return of the hoards of Vets to the campus, the Deltas cast off all worries, and pledged several new members. 'Fhc whole year was one of fun for the newly organized Deltas. The year’s over now and the Delta minute lx ok will rest 'til next September. Well, maybe the minute book will rest through the summer, but you can bet your boots the Deltas won’t!

Audry “Bud” Paul B. Cecil Dickerson The Imps Club was organized on November 5, 1930, and is the oldest active men’s club on the campus. Although it was disbanded in 1943 when the last members went into the armed service, in September 1945, Woody Blanchard, a returning Imp, and Audry “Bud” Paul (long an honorary Imp. and one of the sponsors), made plans for its reorganization The constitution was dug up, dusted off, and put into action, and within a short time, fourteen new members were initiated. The club gave a Christmas Dance and a number of successful parties and small dances, but although these social activities are the most publicized of the things accomplished, some serious work was tackled. The club obtained faculty permission to construct a barbecue pit in the stadium and made plans so that work on it could l egin early. The Imps were well represented in extra-curricular activities: Kenny Askew was elected president of the Freshman Class; Maurice Law now in the army with John Grether and Van Shriver and Bob McLellan) served on the Honor Council; three Imps were on the Student Senate; Woody and Doug Roberts strained their vocal cords for the (dec Club; and six Imps played on the Basketball Team.

The Cotillions are primarily concerned with promoting social activity and in maintaining high scholastic standards at the college. Under the guiding hand of Prcxy Hansi Kane, the club entered into Red Cross work, sent gift packages to local service hospitals, and sponsored a dance for the clothing drive. There was the Christmas dance with all its holiday cheer, the tea dances at the Country Club and those tea parties and oyster roasts! The Cotillions cashed in athletically. We had Digges from the Hockey Field; Splashers Whitesei, Kennedy, Paterson and Bradley; and then those vcrsatilists Johnson, Heutte, Conway and Hourict who joined almost every team. Nell Springer got all serious and is gonna get married! And Betty Lou Manatis felt quite smug about snagging Babbie’s role in “The Little Minister” (we trust you all know that Handsome Hoffman played Gavin). Well, it was a successful year for all of us anyhow. Yes, there arc the exams to worry about, but summer is here—Virginia Beach, here we come! I Gamma Gamma was organized on the campus in 1939. and has done charity work in presenting gifts to a family in need, and in staging a drive for canned food for European nations. But Di-Gammas aren’t only interested in helping others they’re interested in having fun together. Rush parties, acceptance teas, and the annual Christmas Dance all proved equally enjoyable. This winter Di-Gamma collaborated with Alpha to sponsor a holiday dance in the college gym on December 28th. And then in the spring, the usual festive Mother and Daughter Banquet was held. It was a Four-Star year for Di-Gamma. Di-Gammas were seen everywhere- in chemistry lab Ijctwccn titrations was our president, Nancy, gazing out of the window—was she thinking of Marshall? ... in the Art Department was our own Peggy Knight, dabbling her paint brushes over the canvas . . .

Tri-Kappa, one of the oldest clubs on the campus, operated at high speed during the entire year. There were the rush parties, formal initiations, and holiday dances.

JL I p h a The first Alpha Club was organized in 1930 and remained active until 1943, when all active memlx rs left the “Division” as it was then called. In 1944, Sigma Beta, a newly organized club, agreed to merge with the alumnae of the old Alpha Club to form the present Alpha Sorority. Though Gene’s third finger, left hand, was weighted down by a flashing diamond, she guided the Alphas through another successful year. Perhaps some of the credit goes to Mil Dozier who held the strings to the money bag (between letters to her “little one in the Navy). All of us remember the spring tea which ended excitingly. Gedmin, having given up candy for Lent, drooled over the men instead. Alphas, besides lx ing outstanding in our own club, got into most of the other extra-curricular activities. We had Anne Ball as our chief “club joiner she was in almost everything else. We lx ast that she’s president of the Spanish Club too. We had four members on the Voyager Stair, and some in the Chemistry Club and even biology and chemistry lab assistants. Then there were Vcntidy and Ball who chalked up all “A reports for the club’s scholastic rating, and other nine girls on the Dean’s List. And remember the fun we had decorating Bud's for the Christmas holidays, painting decorations for the Christmas Dance, and getting read for the Spring Formal? And so the curtain falls Alpha has had not only a rebirth, but a very successful year. OFFICERS President.................Gene Ward Vice-President............

Playing a tough schedule, mainly against the nearby service teams, the Brave cagers emerged victorious nine times in seventeen games. This brought them within an inch of breaking the record of the Brave champions on 1942-43. High on the list in the team’s memories is the colorful two-day trip to North Carolina, perhaps because it was the first trip in several years made by any boy's team here. 1 ligh scorer for the entire season was 'Fed Bacalis, with an average of 17 points per game. Next came Contrada with 10 points per game. Completing the first line were Bobby Moyc, Hugh Gordon, and Frank Bacskay. Others on the team were Jim Young, Bill Murphy, Jack Hogan, Elmer Acey. Bill Hadley, and Ken Askew. George Bacon managed the team, ably assisted by Bob McLcllon. iJ’nls SJiasketlyall iJeam This year the Girls' Basketball Team had a very bill and very successful season, winning nine out of sixteen games. They played most of the service teams in the vicinity, the nurses of the Norfolk General Hospital, and the civilian employes of the Norfolk Army Base. The team traveled out-of-town twice to play: to William and Mary in Williamsburg and to the Richmond Professional Institute in Richmond. Towards the end of the season, the team played in the Women's Gold Medal Basketball Tourney at the Portsmouth Navy Y. Janice Shaffer, captain of the Squaws, was high scorer with 173 points, and Nancy Houriet hit the hoops for 114 points. When Pasco Keene, the other first stringer, transferred to Williamsburg, Norma Burgess efficiently took her place. During the first term the first string guards were Betty Nicholson, Betty Ruth Hussey, and Abie Johnson, but Betty Nicholson transferred to Williamsburg too. and Betty Ruth left at mid-term. They were replaced by “Dclumpy” Hcutte and Aileen Conway. Other mcmlx rs of the team were Betty Didlake, Mary Frances Perry, Jean Bishop, and Molly Digges. In 1945-46, for the first time in several years, the college organized a Girls' Hockey Team. After much perseverance in practice and in play, the team played two games. The first game, with Williamsburg’s Junior Varsity Team, was chalked up as a defeat of 4-0. However, in the next game, with the Freshmen-Sophomorc Team of the Richmond Professional Institute, the team came through with a crashing victory of 1-0! Pasco Keene captained the team, and Nancy Houriet managed it. Other members were Molly Digges, Euncva Brown. Dot Spencer, Elizabeth Seclinger, Delores Heuttc, Betty Didlakc, Jean Bishop. Adrianne Johnson, Marjorie Litchfield, Norma Burgess. Geraldine Rumfelt, Betty Nicholson. Aileen Conway, Betty Pace, Willie Yeaman, and Beatrice Cunningham. iSwimming Jeam The Swimming Team was organized in Octolxr 1945. The team met with the Reserve and arsity teams of Williamsburg and the team of Richmond Professional Institute. The pride and joy of the team are the new bathing suits. Though long in coming, the team felt they were just what they needed to boost their scores, and even staged an aquacade especially for their exhibition. With Abie Johnson as captain, and Claire Whitescl as manager, the team included Margaret Kennedy, Mary Hickey, Nancy Gouldman, Marsha Weiner, Josephine Turrentine, Elizabeth Seelin-ger, Betty Bradley, Lucee Patterson, Cellen Swan, and Pat Bonney. ppteci at io n The Voyager Staff gratefully acknowledges the indispensable help of— Mr. William Seward, our sponsor; Messrs.
