It seemed significant that Autumn was a time when the seeds of a new growth were dropped to be nourished and reborn. Remember how you crossed the campus, possessing a sense of unfamiLarity mixed with a feeling of adventure and anticipation? You saw the stadium in the early morning sun, the red brick and stone gateways looking fresh in the wan glow. And each time you gazed across the brick walk and glistening grass to the solid structure, standing empty and lonely on the grounds, you again experienced that sensation of expectation of something about to break. You mounted the steps of the Administration Building and you stood with a group of other raw entrants, waiting to pass through registration lines, sectioning lines, and book lines. As you mixed with the people, thumbed through your texts and re-read your schedule, that something which you had expected suddenly gave way — and violently and emphatically College Life was open to you. You were to go through season by season here, fully enjoying every moment of the Division. It all began when you met your teachers . . Lewis Warrington Webb, Jr.. Master of Science. V.P.I., Director of your college, and all round handyman, was indisposed behind tho doors of his office, and you wero one of those waiting to see him. You wantod to change a class. Mr. Webb, you know, was acting as Director for the first time this torm. Fall. '46. You expected him to be busy, especially at tho start of a somoster. In addition to becoming accustomed to the rules of the trade, he had to take caro of an abnormally expanded enrollment, an increased faculty, and the complication of new or rovised coursos. Conferences with the Williamsburg officials, the Instructors, and the business staff occupied time as woll as student body roquests. His actual duty, as Mr. Webb himself confessed, was to act as janitor, custodian, complaint department, and anything no one olse will do. He shot from his oflice for a moment to check on some information. Watching him discuss the problem, you were impressed by an air of capability and dependability about him. Papers in his hand, his tall and lank body was bent forward, and he placed direct and steady eyes upon the office girl. Occasionally his curly head would shake negatively over the papers falling on his slender hands. Finally, however, ho nodded, satisfied, and you watched the grey suit retreat down the short hall of tho front offices. Is he always this busy? you asked an office girl. Well, not at night. Ho finds timo to got some satisfaction from his homo workshop. Sometimes, he may go sailboating. And, she continued with a grin, he also manages to occupy himself with a wife and a family of a nine-year-old son and two-year-old daughter. You've probably soon the little girl around school. My, you mused. I hate to use up his time. Will it take long to change a class? If that is what you want, you'll have to seo Mr. MacDonald, the girl informed. You were, theroforo directed to tho office of Frank Aborn MacDonald, Assistant-Director of the Division. He sat behind tho dosk in his book-laden office, an observant, analytical, deep-thinking expression on his face, whon he looked up to see you ontor. He also was lank and lean. In addition to B.A. and M.A. degrees received from the College of William and Mary, Mr. MacDonald received his Masters in Philosophy from Harvard University in 1946. He also served as Teaching Fellow at Harvard. Aftor more than a tasto of the Philosophy Department at the Division, ho advanced to his prosent position, but continued to maintain Philosophy is the only practical subject. Between periods of trying to cloar his desk of the papers, fllos, and records, Mr. MacDonald taught the fencing class, and somotimes indulged in his hobbies, roading and badminton. His wife and young daughter were often seen with him when he was free of school duties. In a habitually friendly and interested manner. Mr. MacDonald helped relievo you of your problem. With a bit of philosophy, he sent you on your way. And you went to the business office to complete the deal. Leaving Mr. Stern, you were candidly received by three office girls, a cash registor, and Harry E. Baylor. In 1946 Mr. Baylor came to tho Division to accopt the position of registrar, bringing with him an M.S. from the University of Virginia, a poronnial smile, and his dark brown forelock. Since then, not even your belated financial difficulties, registration problems, and schodule conflicts could ruffle his good nature. And Mr. Baylor was sure to soothe your troubled spirit. After a session of juggling those complicated finances and of singing enrollments or, lator. report cards, Mr. Baylor would join the line that found its way to Bud's. Cokes and a little friendly conversation were his repast thero. Then back to work. He sometimes took trips around the state and also attended Di Gamma functions as their patron. The girls' basketball team roliod on Mr. Baylor for moral support. His tried and tested good humor also buoyed the spirits of the girls in the Business Offico, oven when work had piled up. In the office, beating madly at the typewriter, frequently sat Julia Bristow, exorcising the brain beneath her wealth of red hair. Her duty as assistant registrar was to turn the stones loft unturned by Mr. Baylor. Miss Bristow's foundation for hor work was the B.A. received at tho Colloge of William and Mary in '46. Outside the office, she visited tho art department of tho Division. Emphasizing this interest, she took painting during the night school sessions. Ofter. of course. Miss Bristow joinod Mr. Baylor or the girls in a round of cokos and Nabs. In the business office you saw Robert Stern, supervisor of evening collogo, his lank body reclining in a chair by his desk, a few files in his hands. He looked up to watch you, a now student, come in. There was a joke about you and greenio troubles combined with a friendly welcome to the school. Mr. Storn rocoivod his A.B. at the New York Sta e Teachers College in Albany, after which he served as Junior Economist in tho Now York State Government and then worked in the Administrative Department of the U. S. Army. After five years in Government Service, ho would tell you, The teaching field looked good. ... It still does. I came in 1945. The government and sociology students were glad that the teaching field lookod good. They were immediately inaugurated into a long search for tho Ideal World Government. Mr. Stem's goal in life. Finally, in spito of his gripes about red tape in governmental administration, ho found himself enmeshed in it as Evening School Supervisor. So he did all ho could to clear it up. Mr. Stern applied the keen insight and clear understanding, which ho had developed in government service, to the business at hand, whether toaching or administering. On the sldo ho read omnivorously, engagod in public speaking, and occupied himself with his family. The family was pictured in a large photograph which he kept on his desk: Mr. and Mrs. Stern.- Swan, five: Bonnie, two: and Richard, six months. The proud man of tho house was sure to shovel through the rocords and books around to pull out tho picture before your approving eyes. When you wished to see Mr. Stern, you'd peep through the Business Offico door, make sure another instructor wasn't with him, cautiously as possible ask him to put aside his work, and start some political or collegiate discourse. As head of the English Department, Dr. Ernest W. Gray had a full-sized job on his hands. Former diroctor and chairman of the faculty. Dr. Gray was a chartor professor at the Division in 1931. Previously, ho had acquired education and teaching experience at Brown and Harvard Universi ties. In English he completed with you detailed analyses of grammar and composition, and made the great writers human men. He also instituted the 1,000 word a week Advanced Composition Class. Dr. Gray left lecture classes with throe things—a grey hat, a cigarette, and his book. In his office over among the shacks, he would establish himself comfortably with a hot plato and coffee pot. a heater, a soft chair, or the low sofa wedged botwoen his copious bookshelves. Though around campus the greater part of the day. he saved time for his two hobbies, golfing and enjoying music at home with his wife and Division sophomore daughter, Anne. Dr. Lucker took her Columbia University and University of Texas training, plus instructing in the Star State College, right in stride and gave the benefits to you. Added was the advantage of knowledge acquired from a life spent in travel. You watched her rush to the blackboard, on which she inscribed words of wisdom by our poets and philosophers, to her desk, whore she spoke words of wisdom by authors and Lucker. In tho samo way Dr. Lucker rushed up and down the Administration Building stairs, from Buds to her office. A maple booth, a coke, a cigarette, and conversation were familiar accompaniments to this instructor when she sat at Bud's. You'd find her in her office helping a studont with his term paper or explaining his undesired test grade. Or you'd find her at a High Hat or Publication Committee meeting, or verbally delving into the mechanics of enjoying life with Mr. Seward or Mr. Cooper who shared her office, or with Mr. Marable who often dropped in. In her leisure timo. Dr. Lucker trotted to the gym, garbed in dress appropriate for fencing or badminton. Probably a book of Chaucer also lightened her busy schedule. And give Dr. Lucker more than ono day — she'd travel! All points north, east, south, and west of Norfolk were hor destinations. A slonder, thin-haired man, William Marable strode the campus walks surrounded by some particular group of boys who especially enjoyed his conversation. Mr. Marablo was ofton divulging every-day philosophy, which ho sprinkled with straight fact and illustrative anecdotes. 1947 marked the second year Mr. Marable was on the Division faculty list. He taught English. An author, a worker, an educated man, sponsor of the Voyager. and English instructor. William Ward Seward would be included in any memory of tho Division. He could base the thoroughness of his instruction on an M.A. from the University of Richmond and a residence for Ph.D. at Duko Univorsity. Plu3 that, he was a teaching fellow a! Duke, an English instructor at the University of Richmond, and a professor of English at Bossio Tift College. He wended his way hero in 1945. In 1937 Robert C. McClellan joinod iho Division faculty to instruct History. In the course of your two years, however, you may have had him for French. English, Philosophy, or Greek with perhaps a little of Italian or modern government on the side. For over ten years he was engaged in industrial work, and later studied and taught at the university in a West Virginia mining town. Ho received his M.A. at the University of Virginia. He had further study at McGill University and in 1947 was working on his Doctor's dogroe. The wide variety of subject matter with which Mr. McClelland served to broaden your insight into his courses lent wide interest to class topics or private discussion. In the 1947 history classes Mr. McClelland continued his significant tradition of tracing the trend of curront as well as past events. For my part. I had rather boar with you than bear you.” Ernest W. Hollows, your jovial addition to the English Department, was again quoting Billy Shakespeare. Mr. Hollows admitted he enjoyed Shakespeare and English lit, and sports. And especially he enjoyed enjoyment. Often Mr. Hollows trod the Administration Building steps to annoy Reuben Cooper, whose B.S.S. from tho College of the City of New York, was added to the experience in the Air Transport Command and as S.T.C. Instructor in Puerto Rico. Remember when he substituted occasionally, and you hoard somo roally knock-out lectures. Earl Mitchell, a third English instructor, was also absorbed in Masquers' activities and play production class. Mr. Mitchell earned his B.S. in Education at the East Central State College in Ado. Oklahoma. did graduate work at Yale University, and later instructed at Granby High School in Noi ■ folk. Penn State and Oberlin College gave Stanley Pliska his B.A. and M.A., respectively. Then followed a spree of teaching in Florida. Once at the Division, he launched into history and sociology. Another newcomer to the teaching staff was Miss Natalie Dis-brow, instructor of ancient and European history. A B.A. in Social Science at the University of Virginia propared her for informative and enjoyable class lectures. Massachusetts-bred and also new, Ralph Ladd administered a history or government course which kept you moro often in the library than in the classroom. His lively sense of humor and an analytical mind resulted from W. and M. and Harvard training, and □ stretch of Lino duty in the United States Naval Reserve. Many of you took a leap into Philosophy this year — and found it more adventurous than steep. Responsible for the search for logic into your nowly oxposed consciences was Colleen Grimm, a petite young lady with a powerful urge to wake up the slumbering minds of college students. Miss Grimm joined tho faculty September 46 on the basis of her recent Bryn Maw M.A. in Philosophy. Outsido of class. Miss Grimm piece-mealed her time between long ccko siogos in Bud’s, accompanied by juke-box esthetics, or down in her pine-panelled stall with, its potted rod geranium. Picasso print, and laden book case. Students woro told to stand and neigh politely outside her stall whon wanting to ontor to confer with her about an over due term paper or an over-wrought soul. Miss Grimm’s philosophical patience was without bounds. Among the 23 additional faculty members who boosted the Division faculty staff in 1947 was R. Ross Lamoreaux, instructor of psychology. Mr. Lamoreaux had received his study at the Univorsity of California at Santa Barbara, the University of Southern California, and at Harvard, whore ho gained an A.B. and an M.A. He arrived at the Division after instruction work at Whoolock College in Boston, Massachusetts. Out of curiosity, interest, or perhaps some adolescent necessity, a great many of you wended your ways to his cluttered office to see what made you tick as you ticked — via psychoanalysis. Sometimes Mr. Lamoreaux arrived at the Division hand in hand with a chubby, blond little lady; Diane, his daughter. Diano also poppod up as a topic for classroom conversation — usually when this master of child psychology wanted to demonstrate to you just what a child should be. Whether you wanted to track down a biographical item, cram for a quiz or flip through a new magazino. tho Library served your purpose. The haven of Ssss-hhhhh and Solitude was capably presided over by Mrs. Dorothy Pierce Newby and her assistant, Polly Van de Venter. Mrs. Newby arrived at the Division in 1937 as guardian of books, library fines, scotch tape, filing cabinets, and the recordings behind the counter. Polly Van do Vontor was the pert person who knitted sweaters and ssssshed while reading new books and hopping to your service during library hours. Together. Polly and Mrs. Nowby made the library an indispensable service to studonts and faculty. I t That English is spoken almost everywhere is not an appealing thought to Dr. Gerald Akers. His love of foreign tongues was established at Asbury Collego in Kentucky whoro he was first lured by language study. Continuing through the University of Kentucky as a teaching follow, he decldod to master German by a trek abroad to the University of Hoidloberg. Enjoying tho time of his life — soldom speaking or hearing English, ho traveled all over Europe, undertaking graduate study and acquiring an international vocabulary at the Universities of Berlin, Vienna and Madrid. North Africa next attracted the roving linguist and Dr. Akers wound up his years abroad with an exploration of territory south of the Mediterranean. Back in tho states in 1931 ho instructed at Williamsburg before coming to the Division. Seized again with wanderlust, Dr. Akers took his new family to Panama and taught for a year in the canal zone. Finally they all turned homeward once more where Dr. Akers led an incredibly stationary existence for the next twelve yoars, as head of the Modern Language Department at the Division. Richard Randall Cole returned to the campus last September to instruct classos in Francois, having originally commenced his education here. ”1 seom to move in circles, Mr. Cole would tell you in perfect English. Mr. Cole continued his education at the University of Virginia, finishing with a B.S. degree; and undertook graduate v ork at Johns Hopkins University. Ho punctuated class time with visits from Frenchmon and Continental luncheons in the stimulating atmosphere of Larchmont Lunch Room. Miss Ethel V . Hill, widely traveled and broadly educatod instructor of Spanish, joined tho Language Department last September. Miss Hill attended Hastings College, received her M.A. in language study from Columbia University; and undertook graduate work at Colorado University and Centros de Estados Historicos in Madrid, Spain, prior to a tour around South America. Miss Hill gave you inviting impressions of her interesting experiences with your language study. In 1947 our two-year-old Art Department was equipped on as comploto a scale as that possessed by any junior college in the country. The brain child of Miss Paula Mallery. the Department steadily evolved from its cne-rcom status in 1945 to grand-scale proportions in its own private shack. Previous to her appointment as head of the Art Department Miss Mallery gained training on a scholarship basis through the Columbia School of Fine Arts, New York Arts Students' Loague and Ohio Stato University. Following her junior-curatorship at the Detroit Art Institute. Miss Mallery migrated southward. Leading instruction in ceramics, oil painting theory and composition as well as commercial drawing and design Miss Mallery gavo you the time of your life in hor daily classes. Early in September you hoard that a long-desired organization would bo on campus — a fully-equipped Music Dopartment. Responsible for its formation was Bristow Hardin, prominent musical leador of Norfolk and part-timo instructor at tho college. Headed by Hardin, the department was swiftly and solidly established upon tho arrival of two additional instructors. An extonsive music program began with tho onroll-mont of students in Harmony, Music Appreciation. Music History, Applied Thoory. and Chorus. Mr. Hardin conducted an original project by instructing a group of student-beginners in applied piano thoory, and during the second term he broadened the course into an outline of musical form with emphasis on orchestral analyses. John Paul, a newcomer to Norfolk and the college, joined the Music Department in September to undertake classes in harmony and music history as well as instruction in piano and orchostra. His previous career included musical study at the Univor3ity of Kansas and Southorn California, and toaching experience at Occidental College in Los Angeles and Catholic University in Washington, D. C. Married and the father of tv o children, Mr. Paul sotlled his family down in a rambling Ghent mansion shared by othor faculty members. Showing his interest in making ours a musical campus, Mr. Paul spiced up the Music Department by intriguing hot souls over to the music room to form the original Division Dance Band. Mr. Paul's efforts more than won the solid applause of Divisionites who rov-eled in tho triumphs of a bright now Music Department. Clifford McCormick, third member of the newly formed do partment, began his yoars of musical training in his native Canada, and extendod them to England when ho won the honor of representing Canada at tho Royal College of Music in London. Following study and travel abroad and in the states, Mr. McCormick sottled in Now York and taught at Bennett Junior College until entoring tho Navy as choral director of the Washington Receiving Station. Sepxsrated from his war dutios in 1946, ho ultimately joined the Music Department to direct tho college chorus at tho Division. Every shorthand and typing class in the Division was instructed by Miss Nancy Seib. anolher now mombor of tho faculty. After receiving her B.A. at Georgetown College in Kentucky, she attended tho Univorsity of Cincinnati, earning her Masters in Secretarial Science. Following, she instructed Kentucky High School classes for several years, and arrived at tho Division for her first experience in College teaching. Hor socrotarios-to-bo romombor her for her pleasant class room attitude. And tho Voyager Staff remombers her for willingly assisting us by typing all the copy to bo sent to the printor. I t 1 ( Dr. James Donald Watson arrived at the Division in 1944. loarnod to an extraordinary degree in his field. Economics. In 1947 Dr. Watson v as head of the Economics Department. Twonty-cne years bofore. he graduated from Reed College, and continued over a poriod of years at University of Michigan, tho American Collego of Life Underwriters, and finally Northwestern University. The degrees ho amassed include B.A., M.B.A., C.L.U., and Ph.D. Other colleges at which Dr. Watson held positions woro the University of Notre Dame. Bendix Aviation Corporation. Kalamazoo Collogo. and the Univorsity of Michigan. Finally, he came to instruct at tho Division. Dr. Watson, however, will be remembered by a largor proportion of society than just his pupils. As author of Business Mathematics. published in 1937 by tho Ronald Press Co.. Dr. Watson's name will bo associated with valuable mon throughout tho country. Owen Frank Balding achieved a B.Ed. at tho Illinois State Normal Univorsity. For tho next five years he taught in Community High School. Bluo Island, Illinois. Finally leaving his home state and teaching economics at S.H.E., ho was transferred here to help with an expandod departmont. The third membor of the Economics Departmont was Vance E. Grover. Mr. Grover won his B.S. in Business at lho College of William and Mary. While thore he also becamo a member of Phi Beta Kappa. Bofore he arrived at the Division, he was an activo Certified Public Accountant in Virginia. Mr. Grovor camo in 1946 also. A married man, he has two children, Edwin and Rosa Warrington. You. however, will romombor Mr. Grovor for undertaking to instruct a difficult course, and doing it well. Miss E. B. Jones received hor A.B. Degree aftor studying at Dickinson College in Carlislo. Pennsylvania. Lator, she earned a B.S. in Retailing at the Richmond Professional Institute. You in her classes were activo, trying to match her energy. Meanwhilo, you learned the ways and wiles of soiling and buying, via Miss Jonos who was on hand with the tips. In her off momonts, tho instructor liked to indulge in a gamo of bridge. If. however, she couldn't find the partners for this pastime, sho found recreation in reading light books — the silly kind. Besides hor work at school, one may see her busily gadding down town in connection with tho Rotaii Merchants Association oi our town. B 1 With a B.S. and an M.S. in Electrical Engineering acquired at V.P.I. in 1931 and 1932. Edward Lee White was placed in charge of Engineering. With the aid of Mrs. Margie Cossee, his secretary, Mr. White would clear off the printed requests and details — later to find new ones piled up again. Mr. White would admit, his advocation was taking caro of my engineering students. You who were in his applied engineering or applied math classes wore grateful for the knowledge, as well as tho patience, possessed by Mr. White. Edward Twymand Hodges arrived at the Division at tho ond of 1946 on tho crest of a naval career. Between tho time he was commissioned in 1932 as a graduate of tho United States Coast Guard Academy and ten years later retired from Lieutenancy in that branch of the service, Mr. Hodges obtained both his B.A. and M.A. at the Univorsity of North Carolina. He instructed applied mathematics at the Westinghouso Technical Trado School in Pittsburgh, and acted as an instructor with tho U. S. Army in Le Bourgot, France, for tho Corps Area-Tank Contra. The second of the trio, James Hatton Wahab. received his B.S. at the Williamsburg College via the Norfolk Division. Aftor achieving added training at the Electronics Training Center at Harvard and M.I.T., he returned in 1940 to teach. Robert Minor Dashiell arrived here, a graduate of V.M.I., with post graduate iraining achieved at tho Univorsity of Pittsburgh. Ho instructed applied mathematics at the Westinghouse Technical Trade School in Pittsburgh, and acted as an instructor with the U. S. Army In Lo Bourget, France, for the Corps Aroa-Tank Centre immediately before assuming his position at the Division. Helping you put the forces of oloctricity into play or demonstrating some of the magnificonces of the split atom, James G. Hol-landsworth was at the Division as assistant-professor of Physics. Mr. Hollandsworth joined tho faculty staff in tho Fall term of 1946, accompanying a score or more of instructors from variod institutions of instruction or diverse fiolds of occupation. Mr. Hollands-worth attended Berea Collogo in Kentucky, and later received his M.A. at the George Poabody College for Toachers. The threo years before he camo here were spont in tho U. S. Army. At school, he was occupied chiefly in tho physics lab, oithor in study, experiment, or instruction. At home, he spent his time with his wifo and young son. C. S. Sherwood, hoad of tho Department of Chomistry. returned to the Division this'year after completing duty in the armed forces. Ho had como horo before tho war with a B.S. in chemistry. Swamped by testubes, Bunsen burners, and odious odors, you saw hours of lab pass more easily with Mr. Shorwood's aid. His loc-tures were orderly and informative. And he gave you homework that really mado you grind, but. by the coming of Spring, he had made your brain muscles flex. Miss Jane Atkinson, member of the Chomistry Department staff, came to the Division from tho mother college with a B.S. in chemistry. It was her first year of teaching; however, she had behind her experience as an analytical chemist with a local chomical company. Percy H. Hill, after serving on an escort carrier in tho Pacific during the war, camo to the Division in September to teach Engineering. His drawing classos received much useful counselling from him. If you were among thoso students who took engineering drawing. you will remember Charles Thayer. While helping you with problems to be plotted out on your drawing plates, Mr. Thayer often poured over his own grand-scale projections of a mechanical problem — the numbering of rows in the stadium, drafting of a map of tho campus, or blueprint of plans for a yacht. The third momber of tho engineering triumvirate was instructor William M. Beck, who divided his time between lecturing in Math and in engineering. In addition to his teaching dutios. Mr. Beck was interested in athletics, farming, and photography. Aftor receiving his B.S. from V.P.I. and attending various naval schools, Mr. Beck Joined tho faculty in September. 1946. Jack Shipp, shown in a characteristically congenial mood, usually lodged himself outside of lecture hours in the Chemistry office in tho Scionce Building. Students could find him there for consultation. Studonts know him to bo a good lecturer, and appreciated his explanations of involved principles and theories. Mr. Shipp saw sorvico with tho Armed Forcos during tho war, and returned in September. 1945. to join the staff of the Chemistry Department. In March of 1947. the chemistry instructor was presented with an heir to the Shipp title. A distinguished biologist and teacher. Dr. Robert N. LeFevre joined the Science Department at the Division in 1946. Heading the Biology Dopartmont. Dr. LeFevre conducted lab and locturo procoduro all through the past year and taught sovoral classes of his own. Dr. LeFevre was invited to the Division on the basis of his past training and long experience. He eagerly put these qualities to use for your benefit. After classes, he remained long hours at school to prepare lab experiments and demonstrations for the overcrowded sections. To you he was both congonial and accommodating. The pensive eyes behind his thin glassos and tho solemn smile on his lips wore two of tho things which encouraged you to do your best work in his class. Ono of tho sovoral ncwcomors to tho Scionce Dopartmont this year was Biology instructor Jethro Manly. A graduate of William and Mary, Williamsburg, he received his B.S. in 1937 and entered into a career of biological study and research in different areas of the state. Mr. Manly instructed lecture classes and labs this year, unveiling the mysteries of underground stems and diatoms. With overflowing labs running as late as 5:30 in the afternoons Mr. Manly hovered over microscopes cheering you on with your wierd dissections. Those of you who spent tho fivo-hour-weok Biology course in Miss Mildred Griffith's class learned the strange wonders of everything from amoebae to dogfish. She eagerly coaxed you when you wavered over stabbing a frog or slitting an earthworm. Miss Griffith was one of the Department's mainstays during tho year of Hygiene and Bacteriology students. Miss Nancy Fisher arrived at tho Division all energy and drive, having graduated from tho Mothor College in 1945. Through the Fall she poundod tho hockey and archery routines with hor girls or ran the softball diamond. With tho advent of Wintor sho drillod you with basketball, badminton and swimming in warmor quarters. Spring found her tripping tho cement tennis courts. Between bells you noticed the team members sprawling comfortably in her office. Beneath the dangling arms, legs and heads were ruffled slip-covers that Miss Fisher had made to decorate her room. In her painted chair before a desk strewn with sports equipment you reached Miss Fisher, checking hastily over grades and attendance. It was all in a day's work! Furthermore ... for rocroation Miss Fishor engaged in . . . throe guossos . . . ! Sports. Joseph C. Chandler. Scrap to all Division athletes, could always be found in the gym or locker room instructing his gym classes or at his desk in his offico straightening out for a swim meet or coming baskelball game. Scrap” coached tho track team and last year's swimming team and directed all athletic events for intramural participation. Mr. Chandler took his B.S. in Physical Education at William and Mary and later earned his M.A. at Columbia University. His collogo teaching caroor bogan at William and Mary, Williamsburg, with gym class instruction. Mr. Chandler was later transferred to the Division where he coached intramural sports as well as regular classes. Scrap and his roster of collegiate stars in baskotball, swimming, baseball and tennis will be romomborod for thoir school-spiritod contributions in sports events. Barbara Ann Phillips, assistant to Mr. Haywood in the Coun-ciling Office, began her career in counciling work here several years previously. Before joining the Division staff. Miss Phillips attended Bates Collogo in Maino, and Boston University. With an M.A. in psychology, she left the New England grounds. Anne Ball, psychometrist, was fresh from studying in our hal-lowod halls. Some of the Sopho-moros romomborod hor going through French, Spanish, philosophy, and more, finally selecting psychology for her field of concentration. While a student she had worked part-time in the counselling offico. She graduated with the 1945 award for language and in '46, the Cotillion award for the greatest contribution to tho college. You who are student veterans quickly discovered tho value of the Guidance Department, of which John Charles Haywood was tho supervisor. Dividing his work between keeping appointments and making new ones. Mr. Haywood was able to offer you a listening ear and some carefully considered advice. Enforced by training at Bowdoin College and an M.A. from Boston University, plus experience in instruction at the Divisions. he possessed a studied and capable skill in dealing with problems. As advocations, Mr. Haywood chose badmitton. gardening, and pipe collecting, and, of courso, spending off school hours with his wife and young daughetr. Mary McWilliams Wells came to the Division with a B.S. obtained at Northeast State Teachers' College and a masters at Missouri Univorsity. She instructed Secretarial Scionce at Lambuth College in Tonnessee. She landod hero in '44, where her habitual smile made you romember her. Small Shrimp Eggleston waited, rocoivor at her ear. while Evett Allen, junior phychologist, found the necessary 'phone numbers. Thoro wore people to be located, equipment to be ordored, and orders to bo chocked. Unannoyed, Mrs. Norma Hamilton, Chief Clork. scanned records of your entrance or aptitude exams, or compiled them. When the records wore ready to be filed, Travis Bell took post at tho big cabinet. Marilyn Meeks, industriously tapping at the typewriter, saw to it that lists were accurate and ready for use. Scanning tho bare, green shack from the outside, however, you usually had to stretch your imagination to considor the technicality, detail, and effort that worked behind the simple littlo tosts that determined your ability or intelligence. Your notices of class changes and class drops — in fact, the record of any conflict concerned with finance or statistics landed usually in that active room supervised by Mr. Baylor. Virginia Nichols, activo dramatic club mombor, guarded the safe, wrote your receipts, and kept as occupied as possiblo. Another staff vigllanto, Elizabeth Mc-Pherrin, could be seen often tapping away rapidly at her typewriter . . . bills . . . bills . . . bills . . . while Jean McPherrin and Mahgaret Lukens unshuffled piles of registration cards, report cards, ad infinitum into orderly stacks. Throughout tho year the Business Office was tho vital machinery bohind the smooth progress of your schedule. No one could pass tho year without spending a few hours of waiting in the Academic Office. Sara Booth answered phono calls and your questions. Or she sold you school tickets, and ofton mailed letters. Trotting in and out the door with information and a friendly smile was Ellen Kasler, Mr. McDonald's secretary, and wife of the sophomore class prosidont. Mary Lee Lawson, the tall blonde receptionist, could bo spotted in her rest poriods sipping a Pal in Bud's. And Willie Abrams, the boon to all teachers and publications in need of message-sending, refreshment, supplies, or mimeographing, spent his time from horo to there, often landing in the little stock room in ihe Academic Hall. I After 5 years practical training and in possession of a B.S. degree from Penn. State College, Mr. Parker was appointed as associate profossor in tho Technical Institute. His was the job of seeing that the work was executed and coordinated. Although Dr. John Edward Pomfret and Charles J. Duke, Jr., who both resided at the Williamsburg school, never camo bo-fore the student body as a whole, it was their aye's and nay's which determined your functions at tho Division. Occasionally, however, whon tho President of the College of William and Mary and tho Bursar of the Collogo had con-feroncos with Mr. Webb and Mr. McDonald, one of you might be treated to a glimpso of thorn. The Voyager photographer caught thorn in Mr. Wobb's offico beforo they loft to return to thoir busy schedule in Williamsburg. In addition to tho regular staff in the counselling office, two full-time counselors, Stencel and Bedinger. woro takon on to sorvo in tho Technical Institute. Their duties as liason members linked the counselling offico and tho Votorans Administration. During tho year Mr. Stoncol and Mr. Bodingor handled lists of advises and prescribed tests for students, including non-votorans as well as votorans working in cooperation with the Veterans Administration. Mr. Stoncol and Mr. Bodingor advised the veterans who were sent to the Counselling Office for vocational guidanco and training placement. Dedication Because he skillfully assumed directorship of your expanding college, you respected Mr. Webb. Because he listened to your complaints and understood them, you came to him. Because he willingly assisted you in solving imminent problems, you appreciated him. He led you through each season, although days were often dark and chill. And because he proved in more ways than in name alone to be your Director, you unhesitantly dedicated The Voyager, 1947” to Lewis W. Webb. [ 20 ] iJime Out SJo'i -Lunch That, at the Division, was your password to an hour in Bud's, an hour of free play, random conversation, association, music, and Nabs. You pushed into Bud's Little Emporium, not only at 12:30, but at any open hour, and then found yourself one of a diverse, animated, energetic, active mob. In the booth beside you, three vets were matching war stories. In another, Tri K and Tiga members were thrashing out their inter-club contest for Voyager ads. Several High Hat writers draped over the counter discussing the threat of depression in 1947. Part of the basketball teams poured through the back door for cold drinks. A group of faculty members were engaged in serious discourse in the farthest booth. And, invariably, someone was hunched over a text book in a corner. In short, you found yourself amidst a cross-section of Division Life. There, plans were made, national issues were decided, college problems were solved, lessons were learned, gossip was relayed. There, you found the nucleus around which future activity was to revolve. And there you found Bud—Audry Paul, the friendly fellow behind the counter, a guide and sympathizer, and an aid. Bud started as a student here in 1935 and returned to manage a lunch counter and book shop in the basement of the Science Building. In '45, the Emporium moved, part, parcel, and Bud, to the larger room in the Administration Building. Bud offered courteous service to the customers, willing understanding to the bewildered, ready cooperation to the workers, and the traditional ink, blotters, aspirins, and sympathy to those taking exams. The vets remember how he cleared up their book difficulties. The freshmen remember that he immediately became a real friend; and the older students recall his continued congeniality. Bud's was mayhem and madness, but Bud made it YOUR room. And you can't forget the times you spent there.

Batts Sidney Beaser Richard Beasley Highlights o£ the Season The months we spent together at the Division held and retain a common heritage for us. You arrived—a Maury-ite, a Granby-ite, a Wilson-ite, a stranger from another city, or a discharged veteran. But you left, each one of you, a Division-ite. Each of you, of course, possess your own individual reasons for considering the college your Alma Mater—a subject or a field of study to which you were introduced, a teacher who influenced you, an infatuation (or two), or a host of social memories. But you, in general, cre- [ 22 ] ated an atmosphere and a distinction which set the Division apart, and make you now consider that time, 1946-'47, the Time of your Life. Athletically, your great achievement was in the line of basketball. The boys started to practice early in Fall, coached by energetic Julius Rubin. The cagers started the ball rolling right away, and rapidly gained steam. It was your cheering them on, as well as the boys' efforts and the excellent coaching that won for the school their title, Tidewater Champions, 1947! The men's swimming team traveled for their meets, and you attended a few in the Division pool. Weightlifting and fencing teams were formed. You hung around the gym watching practice, followed the boys out of town, or attended their contests here. And it was gay, sharing all their enthusiasm.

Track-sters raced around the stadium. Baseball players took to the field, accompanied by the customary rooting and pop drinking. During the Spring, also, the first bowling team at your college was formed, and enjoyed much success. The weaker sex sportsters showed a good season of basketball. In addition to the games which were slated at other schools, they played before the boys' games in the Division gym, or carried on their own massacres. The hockey team shared a great time and a great victory, that one over Williamsburg late in Autumn. You who did not see the game cheered 'em with the High Hat. The Squaws and Braves in 1947 made many another bite the dust. You who were there to watch helped by the cheers and praise. It was a swell time! [ 24 ] Undoubtedly, you actually found the time of your life in the parties, teas, and dances of the clubs. The Inter-Club Council welcomed you to the school with an afternoon tea. Before long, the Swing Band entertained at convocation. Because feet couldn't keep still, the musicians agreed to play several times in the afternoons. New February students in '47 witnessed the first afternoon dance at the Division. Later, the monogram clubs sponsored a Victory Dance in honor of our basketball team, the Tidewater Champs. The success led to Spring dances. You remember, the Swing Band, the informality of the instructors, and the congeniality of the grateful students who all shared in the glad and gay times of those afternoon dances. Other informal occasions occurred after the basketball games. Buds was bright and welcoming. Excitement was still in the air. And the juke box was all yours.

They were held in halls throughout the city. And the Imps proved that a great spot for a Christmas ball was right in the Division gym. The decorations, the music, and the friends all reflected and echoed the gay spirit you yourself felt, and still remember. The first costume ball, given by Di Gamma on Sadie Hawkin's Day, the Tri Kappa March of Dimes Dance, and the Spring dances were brilliant. All term you tripped the light fantastic, donned in gov n or rags. Not the least of the success was the Ajxiche Dance given in the school gym by the Publications Committee. Voyager and High Hat mapped and planned, advertised, and then warned you and urged you to come. You found your instructors acting as waiters; you gazed at the appropriate illustrations; you danced around the cabaret-style set-up. Not only at the Apache Dance, but at each dance you couldn't help but find the time of your life. [ 26 ] The increase in the number of students brought about a corresponding increase in the number of interests. You formed new clubs or added to those already organized. The Voyager, bom only last year, was continued in '47. And still it was an unusual sight to find photography in progress on the campus, to watch the subscription campaign, to read yearbook notices on the bulletin board, or in the High Hat. The newspaper itself initiated a new precedent. Instead of a bi-monthly, the Hat became a weekly sheet. In addition, pictures were included in the make-up. Students still received their Hight Hat free of charge. The Masquers not only presented two major productions, but staged a convocation play. They also held several social affairs which were altogether four star!

Both clubs invited any guests who shared an interest. The previous year's International Relations Club launched into an over-all explanation of the world situation by analyzing the position of Russia in world affairs. Russian-American relations in 1947 was of prime importance. Guest speakers informed club members, and forum or free discussion enlightened them. The atomic era introduced astonishing innovations in the Chemistry Department v hich extended to the club functions. Inspection trips also heightened the interest of the members. [ 28 ] Field trips and visits to biological plants were included in the Biology Club program. Both these clubs saw a large increase both in membership and in activity. Promoting culture. Beaux Art's members and the Chorus members gained much satisfaction in their work. You also received benefit from these newly-formed clubs. The Chorus, especially, entertained—at convocations as well as at city-wide appearances. Whatever your interest, avocation, or hobby, you either found a place or you originated some outlet in that field. None of these clubs were restricted. On the contrary, increased membership was always encouraged. Furthermore, few bars were placed on your own initiative, foresight, or energy in these cooperative activities.

Margaret Knight Editor The oyaget William Seward Sponsor The theme for your 1947 Voyager was conceived by Editor Knight and Managing Editor Pollock in late September on a Naval Base street car. The outline was planned in the Knight living-room with the aid of the staff additions—Bob Stevens, Photography Editor; Photographer Eric Anderson; DeWitt Boyd, Sports Editor; Martha Moore and Nat White write up assistants. For two months the most familiar lunch-hour scene was that of freshmen posed on the campus as target for Eric's camera. With the addition of Ed Brown to the staff, both cameramen were here, there, and round about. Sophomores, meanwhile, trotted from school, books under arms, to White's Studio where girls removed hair pins from curls under bandanas and boys adjusted tight neckties; and sat [ 34 j for their Voyager portrait. Martha Moore began collecting sophomore statistics. Van Rhodes and Peggy Knight splashed out posters which for weeks decorated the bulletin beard and available wall space. Albert Tiech, assuming the position of Business Manager, kept a set of books as detailed and as accurate as those of the Bank of London. Subscriptions were accepted, advertising contracts were recorded, and money was spent! Out after ads went Allan Bell, Raymond Bridgers and J. C. Atkeson v ith the whole staff cooperating to lure, seduce or otherwise acquire advertisers for the '47 Voyager. The Norfolk Patronage List, conceived by Tiech, was copyrighted and went headlong into action to show our appreciation. Ethyl drafted members of the student body to assist in compiling this account of your activities, and Anne Kaufman, Bill Kasler and Bill Forehand gave her a hand. Throughout all, Sponsor William Seward gave his attention, advice, and encouragement to the Voyager workers. On March 15 the Voyager Staff descended upon Burke and Gregory, Printers, v ith a complete dummy of all write-ups to be sent through the press. The 1947 staff will always remember the exciting semesters. . . . Autumn on the campus with the freshmen. . . . Winter downing hot coffee in Ma Crocker's while juggling photography, v rite-ups and advertising schedules . . . and Spring in the artistically decorated, noisy yearbook office with proofs, bills and, finally, completed Voyagers piling up. But most of all, the '47 Voyager Staff will remember working with the student body, the faculty, and the Division administrative and business staffs. We will remember the joy of the veterans in becoming fully a part of young civilian life; of the freshmen— establishing their claim to the Division; and of the sophomores—proudly revealing the results of their first college years.

Jean Bishop Editor-in-Chiof Sparked by such veterans of last year's paper as Editor Jean Bishop, Managing Editor Ben White, and Business Manager Gus Ohmsen, this year's Hight Hat staff overcame problems of newsprint shortage, financial woes, and a general lack of experience on the part of some new members, to emerge with the publication of a weekly newspaper instead of a bi-weekly of years past. The immediate problem of clearing office space in a basement store room was dismissed, and vacation-idled brains stirred into activity, deciding upon a new banner. On the first edition was the new high hat with printed letters superimposed in 60 point Cheltenham Bold. [ 40 ] Supported entirely by advertiser's patronage, the High Hat was consistently sinking into the red. Gus, assisted by the Business Start, brother Paul Ohmsen, Eleanor Dupree, and Galvin Martin hammered home the fact, until William Goldman as campaign manager began an all-out effort to raise more funds. Humor was rampant in the 1947 paper. The dullest of routine news stories was sparkled. Especially on the sports page which featured Women's Sports Editor Betty Didlake's Athlete's Footnotes was humor prevalent. De-Witt Boyd, heading sports scribes Morton Glasser, Paul Fagan, and Joe Pierce, made up the page with on-the-spot coverage of intra-mural activities. The Feature Department was headed by Frances Charlton. Welcome were Bev Lawler's satires on undergraduate life, cartoons by Reid Digges, poems by John Sparks and Blair MacKenzie, and a music column penned by Ed Brown. The policy of the editorial start was to promote more and stronger school spirit. Thus, publicity and personal support of the staff members were given to any organization engaged in beneficial activity. This policy was further proof that the time and energy expended in 1947 by the High Hat staff was profitably spent and contributed to a successful school year. Seated.

Where Ignorance Is Bliss,” a two-act comedy starring Jean Halstead, Vann Rhodes, Lynn Fulford, and lack Palmer, demonstrated the Masquer's purpose, to serve as a background for dramatical talent and to prove the value of a drama department in the college. [ 46 j I Organized in the Spring of 1946. the Masquers became a definite asset to Division prestige. Proving their progress, their second full-length production Stardust was presented for three consecutive evenings. The slate for casting included talented Betty Lou Manatis. Don Smith in the male lead, and a host of other Thesbians. At the head of the organization stood Nat White, the club's capable first president; Jack Palmer, vice-president; Martha Hoffman, secretary; and Jean Halstead, treasurer. Throughout the year, all members had an opportunity to take part in backstage mechanics, casting, or acting. Credit was due energetic Virginia Nichols for her assistance in directing, and to Bob Stevens for his part in supervising stage activity; also to Ken Nichols in directing all technical details, Dr. Gerald Akers and Dr. Ernest Gray who sponsored the club, and Miss Colleen Grimm, faculty advisor for the props and costumes. Miss Paula Mallery supervised art activity, and Ralph Ladd and Ross Lamoreaux assisted on the faculty committee. Club director and sponsor of the Masquers from the outset was Earl Mitchell. Other members constantly on the job included Blair MacKenzie handling the lights; Elman Hadra, Billy Herbert, and Ed Palasky in charge of scenery; Marty Hoffman, directing wardrobe procedure; Austin Flagg, props; Anne Ball, make-up; Bill Klingmeyer, business manager; lack Palmer, house manager; and Ed Brown, Martha Beasley, and Kitty Enright who served as press representatives. Eric Anderson, student photographer, managed all publicity photographs. Finishing off the Masquer's schedule were a series of instructive talks and programs at the club meetings; spectacular social events; and the intrigue, cold chills, and mysterious murder involved in their last major production Eight O'Clock Tuesday. Throughout, you remember the play-actors for their combined merry-making, show-making, and history-making seasons. 1 47 J In the sale of 1947 Voyagers, two clubs, Tiga and Tri-K competed in a rousing ad-selling race. Presidents Rosalie Wright and Frank Hudgins pounded the pavement with their members and aided the seasick Voyagers toward financial solid ground. Proving that social clubs can be hard-working as well as fun-loving Tiga and Tri-K have become two shining examples of inter-club cooperation on our campus.

In the winter of 1947, through the perseverence of President Luce, Cotillions revived the traditional Fancy Dress Ball, with Lucy as Queen and King George Hogan. Among their celebrities are the Diggs twins, often exchanging gym garb for one team or another. Betty Lou Manatis was usually seen curled up with a script rehearsing her lines for a forthcoming Masquer's play.

Who wasn't stirred by the mystery publicity campaign which preceded the announcement of Di Gamma's Sadie Hawkins' Day shindig, the first dance of the semester? Gamma Gals labored eagerly over Beware and It's A-Comin' signs, and later over corn-stalk decorations and program details to give you a whalloping time at the November affair. But the members' participation in other activities proved they didn't exhaust their talents in arousing the curiosity or glee of fellow students. In ''Stardust,'' the Winter production of the Masquers, your Di Gamma Thesbians, Kitty Enright, Terrie Dungan, Joyce Cassidy, and Euneva Brown, were represented nobly. The recently organized Newman Club claimed Joyce as its vice-president and Jerry Rumfelt. secretary. Peggy Knight, in addition to Chorus duties, was editor of your Voyager. Di Gamma's new sponsors, Mr. and Mrs. Earl Mitchell, had been most encouraging and proved themselves indispensible to the members. As had Bud. Always sympathetic and understanding, Bud became the club's special friend. The girls frequently brought their college troubles to him. In the Spring Di Gamma's fancy turned to thoughts of fun. A blue jean party was given at the Y. M. C. A. Beach Club. Later, they sprinkled the big gym with dance designs, and threw open to the whole school their Spring Dance. a a mm a OFFICERS Jerry Rumfelt Sam Robbins Terry Dungan .....

Participation in the Tri Kappa versus Tiga campaign, the first inter-club contest, for yearbook advertisements, scored for Tri K an important contribution toward bringing you the 1947 Voyager. Their first social activity of the year, an informal party at the home of member Anne Williamson in Willoughby, was followed by a dance at the Cavalier Country Club for members and friends. Their Christmas formal, Jointly sponsored with Cotillion, was held at the Nanse-mond Hotel. Members later in the Winter invited their guests to enjoy a cabin party at the Y cabin. Spring time was outdoor time, with a scavenger hunt in March and a hayride in April. The traditional Sweetheart Dance was revived in May, a formal affair honoring the King and Queen of the Campus elected from sophomores by the entire student body. An Installation Banquet in May. the annual week-end house party at Virginia Beach in June, and a beach party at Anne Williamson's home marked the close of an active year. Tri K membership boasted of High Hat Editor, Jean Bishop, and staff members, Frances Charlton, Eleanor Dupree, and Betty Didlake. Marty Hoffman, secretary of the Masquers, and Barbara McMillan, of the Student Senate, were other illustrous members. From the basketball team were Dot Heindsman, Bishop, and Didlake.

The IMPS Club began the '46-'47 term in great earnest to promote achievement and sportsmanship within the club, and to aid in promoting school spirit. Audry Bud'' Paul, sponsor, and the leadership of the club officers enabled the club to complete a Bar-B-0 pit in the southeast comer of the stadium. Landscaping made this area an outdoor pavillion with tables and facilities available to all college organizations. Turning indoors, the IMPS took the first step toward making the gym available for social affairs of college organizations. Not long after the details were complete, the IMPS gave their celebrated Christmas Dance and received your acclaim because of their being the first club to sponsor an open dance — no bids, no subscriptions. At the close of Hell-Week, the IMPS' pledgees gave a free Minstrel Show for the college. Along the sporting line, the IMPS took many honors. After winning first place over DELTA in their six-man footlxrll contest, the club turned to basketball and succeeded after the preliminary practice grinds of having seven members qualify for the Varsity; Vince Contrada and Jack Hogan as guards; Ted Bacalis and BUI Murphy as centers; Frank Bacskay, Bill Roughton and Jim Viccellio as forwards. James Moore and Jack McLean added to many Division victories as members of the swimming team. Also the IMPS had their share of positions on tho varsity baseball team. On the lighter side, love-lites could be seen twinking in the eyes of Skeeter Contrada as he hobbled down the stairs on crutches as a result of an injury in a basketball game and Ann Gray holding her breath as well as his books. ...

Through the efforts of Frank Hudgins and Phil Machen 20 boys came together, electing Percy Hill, an alumnus of the club, as sponsor. Tiga men were active men on campus. Dean's List brains included Marvin Duncan, William Lee, and Harvey White. Frank, president, and Colin Caddell managed both the basketball and baseball teams of the college Colin also was a member of the Student Senate. Track teamsters were Luther Church, Pat Cato, and Marvin. George Bacon busied himself with the duty of President of the Student Senate, President of the Men's Monogram Club, and the student body representative to the Publications Committee. Club members were also active in all intramural sports. Fall, Winter, and Spring — Tiga men had a glad and glorious time. cr- ZJ uja OFFICERS ....

The entire Campus awakened in full dress, masses of golden flowers in bloom beneath the sun-warmed leaves of the trees. It was Spring! And you realized that the seeds dropped in Autumn had nourished with the activities of the Winter, and, with you, had then reached some evident development. And so you trod the grounds with more confident steps, and with some pride, feeling that the Campus was, in part, yours. With that attitude you looked at the old Science Building, planted solidly amid the green abundance of the bush. It was the building which had held the first classes at the Division. And you could conceive of your taking a place among the now mature men and women who also had stood before the building, with the arrival of Spring marking the last days of the Time of their lives spent at this college, just as it marked yours.

They sponsored the jukebox get-togethers in the little gyms after the basketball games last winter. [ 61 ] basketball By far, the biggest sports attraction in the Division this year was the basketball team, which enjoyed a much greater degree of success than is indicated by their season's record of fourteen games won and eight losses. A glance at the box-scores shows that the Braves led at the half in all but three of their twenty-two outings and much more impressive is the fact that they whipped all but one of their twelve different foes at least one time. The only scheduled quint to escape a lacing from the Braves was the Eastern Carolina Teachers College five, which was in turn badly beaten by a team the Division later trounced. Julius Rubin, who had never coached before, was hired to tutor the cagers because of his own splendid record as a pre-war courtman. It took but a short while for Rubin to become a famous coach in the eyes of his players and followers in the school. The new mentor turned out to be a perfectionist; he greeted an almost entirely strange group of candidates and in a couple of months time molded them into the most polished ball club ever to represent the Norfolk Division. Coach Rubin's ability didn't really become known until the last regularly scheduled game of the season, when his charges trampled the Saint Helena Extension, 63-32, while the sports editor of a local newspaper sat amazed at the classy brand of basketball taking place in front of him. In this game, the Braves hit the stride Coach Rubin had been pointing them for all season. Then came the Norfolk Sport Club's Tidewater Invitational Basketball Tournament. Eight of the strongest teams in Tidewater were entered: the Division cagers were rated somewhere around the bottom of the lot in the pre-tourney press notices, but they had hit their stride and were not to be denied by anyone. The Braves drew the strong, second seeded Naval Air Station five in their initial tournament tilt and drubbed them, 52-37. The third seeded Braxton-Perkins Post No. 25 quintet, Newport News City Champs, was served up next but the high flying Divisioners still had no respect for seeding, thrashing their powerful opponents 51-32 to gain a crack at the title play-off with the Naval Station basketeers who had licked the collegians twice during the scheduled season. The Naval Station was seeded first in the tournament; the Naval Station was favored heavily over the Division; then, the Naval Station was smeared in the big court in the New City Auditorium, 53-35. And the Braves walked off with the beautiful trophy given to the champions of the tournament! Teddy Bacalis, the season's leading scorer, was named to the All-Tournament team, as was Charley Kiley, Billy Roughton, who led the scoring in the first two tourney games, and Hodges Viccellio found themselves placed on the honorary second team. Jimmy Viccellio and John Curfman were also outstanding but the committee had to stop somewhere. Vincent (Skeeter) Contrada was a key man on the squad till the eighth game when he suffered a broken bone in his leg. Skeeter was missing when the picture up there was taken but his contribution to the team's success can not easily be forgotten.

Sonny Cooke set a new all-time record in the 150-yard backstroke race at the distance rate of 2:6.8. Bill Mayo, carrying off the 100-yard dash at 2:47.7 set a second record. In the second home dual meet the Division tankmen swam all over a young group of boys representing the Richmond Y. M. C. A. Hitting the road and tasting their first defeat, the local swimmers ran into a strong University of North Carolina junior varsity squad at Chapel Hill. On their second journey, and final meet of the year, the Braves suffered a close loss to Randolph-Macon at Ashland. The score, 39-36, is a good indication of the struggle that took place. Cooke remained undefeated in the short dash. [ 66 ] First Row, LnrT to Right): Jano! Haslet, Joan Bishop. Betty Didlake, Captain; Nancy Houriot. Caroline Grimos.

Yours was the largest graduating class ever to leave the Alma Mater and among you were some of the most capable students ever to study here. . . . There were Peggy Knight and Ethyl Pollock who offered their time and sweat toward giving you the 1947 Voyager. Both Dean's List scholars, Peggy extra-curri-culared in art and music, and Ethyl, in politics. It was with such culture that they spiced Voyager meetings. Jean Bishop, who quietly and energetically scooped up Division news, saw that it was neatly placed in the High Hat, and sent the paper to the press — she was everybody's pal in school. Ben White, her managing-editor, helped Jean and did a fine job. as he demonstrated by several popular editorials. Bill Kasler, president of the class, who gave you the final nod when you donned your graduation gown. Bill and his wife, Ellen, added to our gay times by their taking part. Ellen and Bill left the Division for home territory, Connecticut, where our class president prepared to become a dentist. The Masquers, headed by Nat White, set out full-speed ahead in 1947. Plus the Convocation play, they presented not one but two evening productions. Betty Lou Manatis, Nat, and Jack Palmer even stepped out among Little Theater Thesbians. The Masquers, no doubt, had a great deal to keep them busy, but their energies were sparked by the constant quipping of Van Rhodes and Batleman's and Baron's clowning. f 70 ] From stage to dance floor, you remember — the Gamma gals for successfully staging the first costume ball of the seasons — Kenny Sawyer and the Imps for one of the best of those many magnificent Christmas dances .... the gals of Tri K, for the informal dance whose proceeds were contributed to the March of Dimes. ... the High Hat and the Voyager staffs, who welcomed spring with a gay and gallant Apache Dance a la francaise . . . and the Swing band for those afternoon jam sessions where they really gave out with rhythm and tune.

L'Beaux tJi’its Early last spring the art students made plans for organizing another club. Under the direction of Paula Mallery, Art Department, the Beaux Arts Club held its bi-weekly meetings on Tuesday afternoons in the Art Department. Miss Mallery conducted lectures on questions asked by the club members, and the club period was also utilized as a lab period in experiments in making oil paints and analyzing painting techniques.

John Sparks. Bill Myors. With the advent of the newly-formed Music Department in September arose the opportunity for organizing a Collegiate Chorus. Directed by Clifford R. McCormick the chorus rehearsed through a successful Fall season culminating in a joint Christmas concert with the Norfolk Civic Chorus and the Saint Helena Male Chorus, also directed by McCormick. Despite crowded schedules and lack of a good piano, McCormick and his group of fifty voices utilized the lunch hour for four rehearsals each week and presented highly-acclaimed programs before student convocations and a city-wide audience at the Center Theater.
