1913 1963 BEE HIVE RADFORD COLLEGE Woman’s Division of Virginia Polytechnic Institute Radford, Virginia Radford College 50th Academic Anniversary CAROL HILL Editor CECELIA DAY ______________ T Business ANNE DICKENSON____________ [.Managers the next half century. McConnell Library Radford University So it’s a girls’ school Fifty years of suffering feminine despair, elation, wiles, and wisdom have shaped the curricula and aims of Radford College. The span of fifty years has seen many changes in the college? plant and offerings, hut the woman whom she serves is the same weird combination of serious intent and gay abandon that she has always been. The faces of our women reveal the intensify of their lives, their depth of feeling, their affinity for the smile and the friendly word. These are people alternately in tune and at odds with life. Their faces, strained for the last difficult note, solemn in the face of a chemistry experiment, happy with the sheer pleasure of a windy day and a bike, are the faces of Radford. The moment alone with yourself—in a crowd, in the middle of a dormitory, in a favorite corner— is a great moment of introduction. The Radford ladies of 1913 walked in groups from one of the two buildings on the campus to the other. Bicycling back to their dorm after an afternoon lab, these girls, too. feel the wonder of having a laugh echo their own. 3 McConnefl Ittniy Education for women must Ik planned in such a way that their innate ability to collect thoughts and emotions will be controlled and directed. Just the right amount of bureau space for favorite pictures, just the right amount of regularity in the mails, just the proper balance of squirrels and trees and bachelor professors -- and maybe they’ll put down their sonnets for a while and allow some facts to enter. A hazy gold of afternoon sun, the only intruder on a Radford lady and her thoughts. Mr. Whitt's car, the first faculty car to come on the Radford scene, ushered in the auto age. Dean Moffett supervised repair of a flat which held up the journey to Pulaski. Cricket Hearth, a picnic and fellowship center which was unrated in the present location of Clara Lucas, was especially loved by students for spring and autumn gatherings. The main street of Radford in 1913 was quiet and twenty-nine years later the girls’ march for Intellectual Preparedness caused little disturbance. L The role of the dormitory has remained much the same as it was in the early days. The girls still use its rooms for relaxing, sleeping, meeting informally, meeting formally. Sometimes, in a room to yourself with the hi-fi at a minimum and your roommate playing bridge with your suitemates, great questions get answered. And bulletin boards get made. Dormitories are the scenes of human experiment. Does one really learn best while sleeping, what number of stuffed animals produce the least claustrophobic effects, what level is best for a hi-fi when studying History of Ed.? Radford’s main street reveals the growth of a half-century. The colleges close proximity to the post office, transportation terminals, and the main business district of the town puts everything and everywhere within walking distance. 5 MRS AMERICA •_.ES TO MARKET FOR A MEEK Downtown will always possess a special lure for the campused coed. Window shopping, soda shopping — just being off campus — are part of the cure for campus blues. There was a day when the automobile was a contraption for the Radford girl. Now her world is a great complex of wires, brushes, strange twists, and minor and major crises. Her new-found freedom makes her enter into flag waving with a vigor and her opinions upon her subject matter nonplus her wary instructors. The womans opinion on everything from politics to poofs has become the most sought after item of the twentieth century—and yet the easiest to obtain. The modern ladies will try any field or topic and they usually succeed even if the effort is enough to flip their wigs. The first step to study is getting to classes. The trek to Founders in fall’s crisp air for many girls means dashing across the grass in a last desperate attempt to boat the final chimes, while their sisters, free from classes for a while, slowly amble to the Cove to check the mail and talk over a coke. A spring sun helps to brighten up the walk, but winter snow, spring sun, or fall rains, the walk to class will always be a lasting memory of Radford. Whether the eight o'clock student remembers the lecture or not, she will remember the early morning frosted grass and a misty campus, cool and sparkling with dew. Some girls will never finish their walk. The call of sun and spring breezes is sometimes irresistible. In 1913 girls returned to I.a Belle Inn for dinner. Miss Terry and Miss Harrison go through the turnstile at the main entrance to Founders to classes in 1914. The core of our life at Radford is the classroom. The hours of preparation-spent in our rooms, in the library, in special corners of our own, on the lawn, in cars, in bed, at desks, at kitchen tables, in showers—are all centered about the subjects introduced in the lecture. Shorter skirts and fifty years of cliangc don't alter the glisten of rain on the walk in front of Founders. The sudden shower after class calls notebooks to extra duty. It usually begins in a sensible, healthful, standard position. Then, as the chapters get longer, the problems more complicated, the vowel shifts more difficult to trace, and the examples seemingly endless, the spine weakens, the chin drops, the head aches. On the academic level it’s called study. On the floor of the bath at three AM it’s called misery. Sometimes there are ways to avoid it. Shoes need polishing, the wash needs washing, a bridge game is a social obligation. There is one advantage to it. It makes tests easier and the I lonor System work better. A true friend will call you just at that point when one more exception to the rule will ruin your disposition. The ring of the hall phone is many things to every girl. To the girls nearest the phone it is a curse. To the girl getting a surprise call from her fella it is a miracle. To the girl recuperating from homesickness it brings a relapse. To the girl who hears everyone else get her call, and gets none herself, it is depressing. Spanning the gap between the classroom and the Cove there is a drawbridge. It’s always rising at t h e strangest moments. It catches everybody — students, professors, kibitzers. From the beginning of her history, the Radford lady has shown an interest in the arts and in self expression, by creating and acting in her own plays, entertaining through dance festivals, remembering the classics—even to togas, she has practiced individuality and self discipline. Our highland campus suffers from a spring ailment symp-tomized bv mournful wailing and a Scottish appearance. The carriers are called the Highlanders. They have spread this ailment to willing sufferers from Radford to New York by remarkable means—an unusual combination of the Macy’s Parade and television. 12 Tl.e fine arts opporturHK pression. A day spent in n! °s °ffer«vt „ j. , 1 ,n the fip]{i ' -°n our campus cover all media of ox- ,r ing to capture a landscape’s rhythms in oils, the positive feeling of pottery you yourself made, the first fully successful vocal interpretation of a difficult piece—all of these have been remembered with pleasure by Radford girls. “The Miracle Worker, a miracle of fine acting and sensitive production, began our fiftieth year of student-acted drama. It’s playbill entered tliecollection of playbills pinned to the drama office’s bulletin board. Among these plays of all types, the dramatic readings, and the original drama of the past years, it testified to the existence of fine drama on the Radford stage. Self expression is the channel through which our worth pours out to our fellowman It is the other hall of learning, a Radford ideal. Every act conected with meals becomes a part of a solemn ritual: the hanging of coats upon their fettered hangers; the long wait in a long line; or the mad dash of the nearly late; the apology for coming late; the scouts who come first to stake a claim. If you really want to discover the personality of a campus, go to its dining hall. Early comers spot their tables, get set for the invitation in, discuss the day’s triumphs and the predictions for the morrow. They also checked their mail early, before the crowd began to swarm about the boxes. There arc two views to everything. There are three views to the dining hull. The kitchen has one, the waitresses have one. and the girls being served have another. Family style meals require cooperation from everyone. They are a little more trouble to serve, but they are a Radford tradition. A leisurely stroll down the marble steps, exchanging the evening’s plans and best wishes for tomorrows test as you go; finding your coat, muffling up against the customary wind, then the Crcat Divide as, once again, the dorm wins you back from the dining hall. An education worth having is worth working for........ Nearly even- girl who graduates from Radford College has, at some time during her college career. worked for a part of her college expenses. For some, the summer job meets school needs. Others will pay for their education by teaching after graduation according to the terms of the State Teachers Scholarship. Many hold campus work-scholarships. The serious science student may become a laboratory assistant. Also, students are invited to hold paid assistant positions to professors doing research under grants. Facility with language opens the way for work in the language laboratory. The college switchboard is operated by work scholarship students. All college mail is processed by student workers in the college post office. Fourteen hours per week are required of student workers. For the girl who prefers an office job or who enjoys greeting callers, there are work scholarships available for secretaries to division heads and committee chairmen. Proctoring scholarships usually call for two hours of work per day. If you have your lifesaving certificate, a lifeguard position at the college's indoor poo] is a warm way to work your way-through college. With a smile and a double serving of patience, a waitress position is available in the dining hall, the Virginia Room, or the Cove. The small memories are the fillers which solidify our remembrance of college places and events: the morning nod that becomes a habit, the traditional subjects for debate, local color, the sight of a hand thrusting a letter in your box, Joan of Arc supervising the painters and wringing her hands. They are the catalysts that work the wonder of memory. The workmen fell a tree. You take a painful interest in the demise of an old friend. Umbrellas, cluttering the halls after a rain, pierce the gloom of overcast skies and darkened halls with their ribs and brilliant colors. The gauzy look of newly scuffed wax on tiles,... painters hanging outside your window in the early-morning fog with their feet swaying bc-hind the panes and their talk of aches and scaffolding drifting in to you are all as calendared in your mind as the too many events offered to you by the main bulletin board. They are the small memories. Sharing events with the men of Tech has been a time-honored custom. These girls are all dressed up to help Tech celebrate the McCormick Festival. The traditional lore of any college is a precious clement in the shaping of its reputation, its respect for the past, and for the principles upon which its founders and its directors, in every capacity, established it. Radford has an especially colorful traditional heritage. Two names which every Radford alumnae will immediately recognize are those of Pocahontas and of Mary Draper Ingles. The Ingles-Pokie Literary Society debates were the great campus event for years. A less familiar tradition is that of the “Hollyhock Trail.” From seeds gathered from the hollyhocks planted in front of the stone wall of the older part of campus, a trail of hollyhocks was to be planted from each girl’s home to her academic home. A yearly spring event commemorated this tradition and the seeds of the hollyhocks were prized acquisitions. The Avcnt Tennis Club, the first athletic organization on the campus, began a tradition of respect for the place which athletics should occupy in our lives. Such traditions as the Senior Breakfast Sneak Day, the Capping Service, and Move-up Day were celebrated in various ways throughout the history of the college and testify to the spirit and hopes which we and our alumnae want to preserve as the Radford tradition. 20 The legendary magnitude of the Mary Draper Ingles story, because she was a native of the Radford scene, and the traditional Virginia respect for the Pocahontas story have given our college two women to whom we can look for the principle of courage and duty which is basic to our way of life. In previous years, there was an Ingles play, which had been written by our own people and which was acted every year at the authentic log cabin, a part of our campus that succumbed to progress. In this symbolic picture of Mary Draper Ingles and Pocahontas, the costumes for the play arc shown as well as the trophy which was annually awarded to the winner in the literary societies’ debate. In the Pokic-Ingles party of today the traditional custom of naming each entering class, alternately, either Pokies or Ingles is borne out in the costumes of the class. Tins years Senior Class members arc Pokies. On Campus Clean-up Day everyone joined in the fun and hard work of campus beautification. A kerchief around your hair, a rake in your hand, a spirit of co-operation in your heart, a wagon, and a horse made you a part of the tradition. 21 The Tent Village housed and served as classrooms for students in 1923. ‘The adventure of living like soldiers in tents appealed to the students . . ..To save a tent in a thunderstorm was one of the fascinating sports of the campus. — from M’Ledge Moffett’s History of Rod-ford College. The log cabin, preserved in excellent condition until the late 50’s, was the scene of the Ingles Play. The campus is a composite of buildings, walks, trees, relics of the past, and beginnings for the future. Radford has as many campuses as she has had students. For each of them there is a special combination of these elements which she will remember as “campus.” Tlu rc U °r las 8rown from a one-building institution in 1913 to a complex plant. . .' ' ar 1 at present nine residence halls, four academic buildings, the library, admin-is ra ion building, Clara Lucas Hall, the dining hall, infirmary, the gymnasium, and ® l0m? management house which are divided into two campus areas. In the early sages ot construction is a dormitory which will replace Scott House and will house ont| .r xl fifty students. Moffett Hall will be completed in the fall of this year amt win house three hundred sixty-six students. The Sunken Garden, scene of May Day for many years and traditionally favorite site for the outdoor on-campus functions, was filled in this year to make way for the expansion of the dining hall. The rock wall, which had been a part of the older area of campus since 1913, was torn down, except for an area of retaining wall from Founders to the Main Street of Radford. The Mother Tree and Stone, in the foreground, arc one of Radford’s oldest traditions. The archway connects Norwood Hall and the Cove-Post Office entrance. The older architectural style of Radford’s buildings and campus can he seen in the white columns, red-bricked archways, and classic balance of Founders Mall, Norwood Hall, and Tyler Hall. Bathed in sunlight and shadows, Founders Hall enters into its fiftieth year of classes. 24 Dedicated on August 9. 1913, Founders Hall completely housed the college classrooms, die bookstore, and science laboratory. The library was moved into a separate building in 1931. Tin- lull is used today for classes in English, social science, drama, art, music appreciation, and mathematics. The building and the change which growth demands have altered the college known as Radford many times during the course of the past fifty years. Nature and the buildings, which must have seemed permanent to their builders, have altered. There is one aspect of Radford which all of her graduates and students have shared: her seasons and their effect upon her. tt?]. I I Moffett Hull, a dormitory designed to bouse three-hundred-sixty-six students, was begun in the fall of 1961, and will be completed in fall of 1963. Named for Dr. M'I-edge Moffett, who served Radford College as instructor and Dean of Women during a career which spanned the years 1913 to 1962, it will be the largest of our dormitories. For many years it was customary to take students on an annual picnic. This last annual picnic scene shows the group, headed by Dr. Moffett, wading m the Roanoke River near Dixie Caverns. During the Baccalaureate Service held in June, 1962, a gold cross was dedicated to Dr. Moffett by the local pastors and the student religious workers. The cross is used in religious ceremonies held in the auditorium of the Administration Building. Her respect for individual dignity and her example of service to her followman, and to Radford College, have secured her place among the builders of the Radford College and its principles. 27 28 Foreword Perhaps the test way to explain the purpose of the 1963 BEE HIVE would te to choose a theme and attempt to mold every phase of life at Radford College to conform to the theme. Because any theme we might choose would limit, and thus distort, some or many of our experiences together, we have tried to avoid the use of one. However, a book cannot be a confused mass of pictures and copy — some central idea must draw it together and give it unity. That idea must te broad enough to include all of what we call Radford College. This year we have been fortunate in finding that central thread. The Fiftieth Academic Anniversary of Radford College will bind our book together. We want to show you Radford—yesterday, today, and tomorrow. If one must insist upon a theme, call our theme PROGRESS. This book attempts to show the progress we have made in the understanding of our role academically, spiritually, and socially. It will show the growth of our facilities and the expansion of our student body and Radford's standards as they have teen cherished and practiced by our students and faculty will show the progress we have made in understanding ourselves and others. Therefore, we shall include not only the past fifty years, but also the traditions and unique qualities of Radford for which we, and students of the years to come, shall be responsible. This personal aspect is what we shall attempt to capture. As you see, we are back where we started. We must include even,’ phase of Radford life, for progress is not one-sided. We, the Class of 1963. looking back to 1913 and ahead to 2013, present this l ook, hoping that someday, perhaps fifty years in the future, you will open it and remember RADFORD.

When classes were first held for one hundred eighty girls in 1913, the dream became a reality. In the relative peace and quiet of a mountain plateau, Radford State Normal School began her growth, despite the fact that the rest of the world sat on the verge of a great war. The world also had a dream ... a dream of peace. Through scanty newspaper accounts and letters from the boys who went to fight, the girls received the news of World War I. But to them Europe must have seemed as remote as another planet and the horrors of war totally incomprehensible. The endless trips to Founders and the numerous events of college life continued as though war had never existed. Radford developed into an important educational institution nourished by an expanding student body and numerous grants from the Virginia State Legislature. No longer serving only southwestern Virginia, Radford's span of influence increased. Girls now arrived from all over the state, and, slowly but steadily, girls from neighboring states arrived also, . . . each girl bringing with her a new flavor, new ideas and opinions, and, of course, a new accent. In 1924 Radford State Normal School became Radford College. Public schools all over the state felt the influence of teachers who had been Radford girls. Pearl Harbor suddenly turned the world's attention again to war, and the dream of peace once more evaporated. Again the Tech men departed, and letters arrived from the battlegrounds of the world. The girls stayed on and added rolling bandages to their daily tasks until the “war to end all wars” was ended. A period of optimism and expansion followed the war. Girls from other countries began to hear about Radford College. With them, the foreign students brought the opportunity of seeing the basic similarities among the peoples of the world. Today the influence of Radford College, Woman's Division of Virginia Polytechnic Institute, is felt in areas never imagined in 1906 as, building by building, idea by idea, her service expands. In contrast to those first girls from southwestern Virginia, Radford now serves girls from twenty-two states and five foreign countries. But we must not forget that, without peace, the kind of world for which we are being prepared cannot exist and, without freedom, that world is not possible. Yet peace is as much a dream in 1963 as it was in 1913. And so we, the Class of 1963, dedicate this book to the PROGRESS Radford College has made in fifty years of SERVICE to her state and nation and, to PEACE, without which the next fifty years of service may not be possible. Dr. Hahn begins his first year as President of Virginia Polytechnic Institute and Chancellor of Radford College in this Fiftieth Academic Anniversary year of Radford. From 1954 to 1959. he served as head of the Physics Department at VP1. For the. past three years, he held the position of Dean of Arts and Sciences at Kansas State University. As registration for the fall quarter gets under way, he returns to Tech. Dr. Thomas Marshall Hahn, ]t., Radford College Chancellor.

MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT This annual publication commemorating the Fiftieth Session of Radford College, Woman’s Division of Virginia Polytechnic Institute, is distributed at the close of a memorable session of the college. During this year, vc have observed this point in the college’s history by inviting tor the campus able speakers to discuss the future of higher education and Radford’s place in it. The observance of the Fiftieth Session implies a long and fruitful history of service on the part of this college to the young women of the Commonwealth. To those individuals whose dedicated service built the institution, wc owe a debt of gratitude. The work of those who preceded us gave us a firm foundation upon which to build and kept us from starting at the beginning. While we respect the past, we must of necessity turn to the present and the future and build the kind of institution which serves the needs of today’s young women and plans for the needs of tomorrow’s youth. The changing conditions of our dynamic times throw forth a difficult challenge to the administration, faculty, students, and alumnae of Radford College. With all this in mind, we have observed the passing of the last half century with a theme which focuses attention on the present and future. This book commemorates this past year’s observance of the last half century, but may all of us look to this year's theme: RADFORD COLLECE - THE NEXT HALF CENTURY OF SERVICE? In 1951 Dr. Martin and Dr. Walter Newman of Virginia Tech congratulate Virginia Aston Sizemore, a Radford student, awl her husband, a student at Tech, utxm their graduation in the vear in which Radford State Teachers College became Radford College, Woman's Division of Virginia Polytechnic Institute. 36 Cutting ribbons for student openings, crowning queens, ami direct-tag registration traffic are three duties which take our president away from hiv desk.

Associate Professor of Library Science Realizing the importance of psychology in teaching and learning, the college requires specific education courses for future teachers prior to graduation. Dr. Trahin instructs his students in methods of psychological testing. A major area of research and understanding is gained through an adequate knowledge of the library and its facilities. Miss Slaughter compiles an order for supplementary material for specific courses. Division of Fine Arts To enhance the student’s outlook on the Fine Arts, all graduates must study one quarter of art and of music appreciation plus an additional quarter of either course. Art endeavors to afford the student a basic and comprehensive understanding of the visual arts. An acquisition of an appreciation and enjoyment of musical compositions is the foremost aim of the music course. Applied work in speech teaches the student to prepare for classroom presentations and helps overcome minor speech difficulties. Many students engaged in speech and dramatics courses aid in play production and participate in the dramatic activities presented during the academic year. Richard Lee Bostian A.B., M.A.. Ph D.

Radford College and Virginia Polytechnic Institute work together to offer a varied, extremely valuable core of general courses which are stabilized by a two-year concentration in the Home Economics field. Every student in this field has an opportunity during her junior or senior year to reside in the Home Management building. Through this plan, the girls learn to live together while acquiring experience in family planning. Came Lee Collins B.S.. M.S., Ph D. Associate Professor of Home Economics Emily Topper Cantnr U.S..

At least one course in science is mandatory for graduation. Lecture is combined with weekly laboratories that together complement a greater understanding of biology, chemistry, general science, and physics. Often majors in these fields of study assist the professors with lab work under a work scholarship plan.

Carol Deland, President; Barbara Lcwellyn, Vice-president; Kay Daffy, Secretary. and Treasurer. Bonnie Grumpier, take time out for bowling after a week of senior duties. Four years of college have left their mark on the Senior. She has been introduced to the world’s finest authors, has heard great musical compositions, has worked with mathematical concepts, and has viewed the mysteries of science in a test tube, or under a microscope, with an increasing awareness through guidance and self-disciplined study. During the last two years, she has had the opportunity of studying in depth the particular subjects which interest her. She has lived with a variety of personalities and has observed the tastes and philosophies of people from geographical and cultural backgrounds that are different from her own. All of tliese factors have evolved the more mature student called a Senior. As an indication of her maturity, the Senior is invested with her academic rolx in a capping service observed during the fall quarter. Regun in 1030. the capping service has been perpetuated as a tradition of our college in recognition of the Senior’s advancement. With maturity responsibility becomes an integral part of her life. The first senior privilege, granted in 1918, allowed seniors to go to town one night a week in groups of three. Senior lights could bum until 11 p. m. The seniors of 1963 are governed, for the most part, by their own discretion. Study hours arc a matter of choice and self discipline, and senior lights bum all night long. Vaguely anxious, seniors look forward to graduation day. They are eager to be on their own. but arc aware of their responsibility for their own success in the days following college. Some plan gradutc studies. For the majority, however, graduation from Radford marks the end of their formal education. Thus, once more, the Radford student faces an uncertain future. But. unlike that day four days ago when she anxiously faced her first year at Radford, she can face tomorrow with confidence in herself and in her ability to live as an individual. College is over: life on her own begins. And Radford has helped prepare her for that life. 56 Beverly Bushong Abbott Linda Gail Abbott Lela Annette Acuff Class of 1963 From the Class of 1919 with its forty-four members to the Class of 1963 with a membership of two hundred seventy-three, Radford has prepared young women for service.

A mysterious change accompanies students when they return for the fall of their Junior year. Although the boisterousness of Sophomore enthusiasm is still present in each class member, a tone of seriousness has been added over the summer months. Dorm life is qmeter. A murmur of voices is heard throughout the halls, replacing the shouts and the blaring radios of last year. Juniors discover that studying can be interesting. Popcorn sessions get reserved to non-study hours in lieu of tomorrows assignment. This could not have happened until this year. Provocative classroom discussions are continued spontaneously on the walks and in the Cove among the interested girls. This year, Junior girls with outstanding scholastic records and character will be invited into membership in campus honor fraternities. Also, at some time during the year every Junior will experience the sobering Junior English Test. Massed in the library on a Saturday at noon, the girls will spend forty-five minutes composing an essay. On Monday morning most of them will be massed in front of the main bulletin board in Founders Hall anxiously scanning the list of successful authors. Left to Right, Secretary. Emma Overstreet; President. Mary Sue Lowe; Treasurer. Nancy Fisher; and Vice-President. Heidi Davila, Junior Class officers, take a coffee break over the counter and stir up some junior activities. 103 Class of 1964 Juniors are potential leaders of the campus. Clubs and organizations nominate girls from this class to hold the highest executive positions on campus for the coming year. It is from this class that the Student Government President will be nominated and elected in the election held after Thanksgiving holidays. Enthusiasm grows as rival factions campaign vigorously to elect their “man.” At the beginning of Spring Quarter, Juniors have their last fling at organized madness. Junior Follies, with all its humor —satiric and slapstick is presented. From now on to the year’s end Juniors spend their time adjusting to the idea of being next year’s Seniors. They anticipate Move-up Day. Just a little uneasiness ruffles Junior collectedncss as the role of Senior is handed down. Juniors” of old had no Junior English Test, but found the library a serious place just the same. The members of the Junior Class of 1919 pose for a class picture on the steps of Russell Hall.

Treasurer, try on wrap-arounds on a downtown shopping” spree. When the Sophomores arrive for Fall Quarter, other students can hardly believe that these are the shy freshmen of the year before. If there is any shyness left, it is well hidden. Selfconfident, boisterous, overflowing with energy and noise, the Sophomores invade campus on the final day of registration and shake it out of any academic haze which may have begun to form. Those Sopliomores who came early to serve as counselors to the freshmen use some of their energy in explaining rules and in passing along such unwritten traditions as the 'Tassion Pit. By the time the whole class arrives everyone is possessed by a sophomoric wisdom that will last, unshakeable, until June. A minimum of studying is done Fall Quarter when Sophomore Stunt Night provides excitement to divert the mind. Shouting “four . . . three . . . two . . . one . . . BLAST OFF, they go from rehearsals advertising the theme of the 1963 Stunt Night. 118 Sorority rush parties bring extra concern for appearances and sleepless nights. There is ccstacy for the lucky girls who receive bids, bitter disappointment for those who don't. Dance club initiations contribute to the excitement of the year. In January some of the girls have lost a part of their enthusiasm . . . perhaps due to grades received in the holiday mail. More likely, the Sophomores are beginning to feel the responsibility of their role as upperclassmen. The process of unwinding continues throughout the rest of the year. Classes will be cut, noisy late hours kept, tests nonchalantly taken-but. soon this attitude will disappear along with the girls who held it. Not until the next fall however will the last remnant of the Sophomore’s frenzied motley wear thin and l e wistfully discarded. The Sophomore Class of 1919 gathers for a class picture on the front lawn at Founders Hall. Joyce A. Adams Elizabeth L. Albert Norma S. Alexander Judith L. Allen Judith C. AI vis Gloria E.

Young Cynthia A. Zeigler Whether it came to the sophomores of old at the post office in Founders or to today’s sophomores in the present post office, mail still is the highlight of the usual sophomore day. In 1913 Ara Lee had to meet only 180 students like herself. Now each Freshman must adjust to living among 1S00 students and on a greatly expanded campus. Radford has always tried to make the Freshman’s adjustment period us short and as pleasant as possible. Instead of a “Rat Week,” each girl is met on the first day by a Sophomore Counselor who guides her during the first frantic week of familiarizing herself with the buildings of the college and with the rules by which she is to live. Faculty advisers assist her in deciding her schedule. The eighteen members of the Class of 1922 pose, as freshmen, on tlic lawn of Founders in 1919. When Ara Lee Hicks, Radford’s first student, arrived in September, 1913 she must have, in some respects, resembled every Freshman who has entered since that date. With her arms piled high with clothes and, maybe, carrying a pair of hurriedly doffed new shoes in her hands, she undoubtedly surveyed the bare room which was to be her new home for the next four years and, panic stricken, wondered why she had left her home and friends. The length and style of dresses mav change, but each Freshman still has those first moments of doubt and loneliness. By the time her bed has been made and the familiar treasures and family photographs placed on her bureau, she feels that, perhaps, this new life might not be so bad after all. Apprehensively she crosses the hall . . . and finds new friends. Front to Rack: President, Cathy Siler; Vice-President, Carol Poole; Secretary, Emma Violand; and Treasurer, Yvonne Crouch, Freshman Class officers, select something to munch at the movie. Class of 1966 Since 1913 formal orientation classes have been held to help the entering Freshman in adjusting to her new experiences of life away from home. Beginning this fall, a weekly orientation assembly replaced the orientation class as Radford altered the past to meet the needs of the student of today. Nancy C. Ackiss Jeanne A. Akers Anne L.

This year, the day student candidate for Campus Carnival queen was runner-tip — a wonderful evidence of the enthusiasm and work of this group. The day students life of motor trouble, leading two lives, schedule mix-ups, long waits, and forgotten tests has been brightened this year by the new day student facilities located in Clara Lucas. Here the girls can rest, study, cook meals, and hold socials. Home away from home is a locker for the day student. Some are adopted by dormitory friends, but all of them find favorite nooks in Radford halls. In Clara Lucas these students find that studying while waiting for a ride home leaves time for helping with dinner and washing dishes - tasks which become a novelty for their dorm sisters. 130 Day Students Change With Seasons In the summer the day students are often men from Tech and teachers who are working on higher degrees. The summer group brings new faces and new insight to the campus as the male point of view is introduced cn masse. Day Students Club The Hay Students Club has as its goal the providing of opportunities for the off-campus student to associate with others who share his way of college life. Together, they solve many of the problems of commuting students. Through social activities and organizational meetings, they introduce new members to the mechanics of Radford life and to the opportunities which are available to the day student. Capable leadership b a must for a widely separated group. Becoming a part of campus living takes time and effort. Mary McCuirc. Secretary; Mr Krnncth Burge, Sponsor; Hclga Fagg, President; Ann Brown.

Breakfast and lunch are served cafeteria style, dinner is served hv student waitresses, and coffee breaks can be taken here at any time from eight AM to eight PM. Soft music and a subdued color scheme create a calm atmosphere. 152 Professors find coffee breaks a fine time for conversation, comment, and grading papers. Fresh flowers, self-service, and uncrowded convenience make live Virginia Room a welcome daytime refuge for harried students. Honors Hall Designed as an experimental dormitory for serious students, Honors Hall is a modern apartment building which has been rented by the college. Thirty-five Sirls who were invited to live here after aving maintained a deans list average for all three quarters of last year participate in this experiment. Here, girls live in seven-girl apartments and under the regular college rules, but have the advantage of quieter surroundings and an opportunity to help with the acquisition of an all-campus honor frat-ternity for Radford. The modem kitchen conveniences are time saving, and decorative rooms allow a relaxing contrast to the functional classroom. In the parlor of Honors. Miss Mary Maicr, Hostess, discusses problems about keys, telephones, entrances, plumbing, and privacy with Julia Goodman and Kathy Porterfield, Co-presidents. 153 College Ring Style Changed This Year The style of the college ring was changed this year in favor of a more feminine, graceful one. The older style, in use since 1930. was of heavy gold cut with the degree on one side of the baud and the year of graduation on the other. All semiprecious types and colors were available for the setting. This ring was adopted to replace the two different style rings, one for two-year and one for four-year graduates, which were previously used. The new ring, available in sterling, white gold, or yellow gold, is set with an oval onyx stone on which the college seal is reproduced. The date of graduation and the degree earned can he engraved on the band on cither side of the stone. Senior, Lynn Richardson, admires her new class ring. Thus a new tradition is begun. 134 Alumnae Association Officers of the Alumnae Association are LEFT TO RIGHT, SEATED: Mrs. Sue Plunkett Hill. Roanoke, Executive Secretary; Miss Mayme K.

Mrs. Shirley Jenkins Gay, Roanoke, Treasurer was absent when this picture was taken. Through the golden door of the past fifty years, the Radford College Alumnae find inspiration for daily living. Radford alumnae have been prepared to meet the challenge of a world burdened l v economic and social stress, not only because of the knowledge which they acquired, but also from the wisdom of the faculty and those in authority who have instilled in us the principles of free democracy and the virtue of love and respect for our fellowman. But we dwell not upon the past — instead, our memories are keyed to the future knowing that the best is vet to be in higher levels of achievement. Synonymous with the founding and growth of Radford College is a great lady, a prominent educational leader, and an understanding and inspirational friend in counseling us toward useful lives — Dr. M’lxxlge Moffett. In her name, the Alumnae Association has established a scholarship fund, realizing that the past is of value only if it can carry forth into the tomorrow. Mrs. June McConnell Giaybcnl, LEFT, daughter of Dr. John Preston McConnell; and RIGHT. Miss Mayme K.

The officers and dormitory representatives, elected by their fellow students, have consistently represented the views of our student body. Mary K Martin Treasurer Joan Simons Second Vice-President Betty Pugh Secretary 156 Committees As set forth in the Constitution of the Radford College Student Government Association, the committees and their duties are The Interdonn Committee shall he composed of the dormitory house presidents. This committee is formed to discuss the problems which arise in each dormitory. The Student Life Committee is formed to stimulate student life as a whole. It is in charge of the Panel Room, Modern Dance Room, movies, and record dances. The Electoral Board consists of four members. It shall be comprised of a representative from each class, appointed by the President and approved by the members of the Student Council. The Student Court shall receive and investigate charges against any student for a violation of the principles of conduct which underlie rules and regulations. 157 House Councils The dormitory arrangements at Radford have girls living in groups, by dorms, of from thirty-five to one hundred fifty students. These groups which consist of four or five to a two-room suite, have their problems— individually and collectively. It is the House Council which has the duty of organizing the general activity in. and use of dormitory facilities. The House Council is a group of dormitory officers and floor representatives which must also carry out the self-governing principle upon which our dorms operate. Infractions of dormitory rule are subject to House Council jurisdiction. From a call down by a Hall Monster (otherwise called a Hall Monitor) to a campus by the council, the offender learns that group living is as free as the individual is responsible. Elections for House Councils are held as often as vacancies occur in the council, but they are usually held in the Fall Quarter. The House Council President serves on the Interdorm Committee of the Student Government. Supervision of day sheet accuracy, conducting fire drills, assisting with dormitory social activities philanthropies, explaining the dormitory rules, and maintaining an orderly, mutually beneficial living condition in the dorm are duties of the girls elected by their friends to House Council.

The yearbook is sponsored by the Senior Class. Editor Carol Hill helps Publicity Manager Carol Ernest and Typist Cathy O'Donnell with those never ending layout problems. The 1963 BEE HIVE staff found a unique opportunity in creating a book intended to celebrate the Fiftieth Academic Anniversary of Radford College while fulfilling the usual requirements of a college yearbook. Members of the staff worked throughout the summer months clearing away technical problems in order to conserve time during Fall and Winter Quarters for creative layout and copy ideas. For the first time, the BEE HIVE includes a summer supplement which covers in greater detail the many spring events, especially the Graduation, Senior Week, and May Day events, which have been neglected in previous publications because of publishing deadlines. Feeling that an honest view of Radford College is essential for our alumnae, our friends, and for our student body, the staff has concentrated on candid pictures and ideas which reflect our past and present by showing Radford girls as they participate in the numerous areas and functions of college life. The staff has diligently attempted to give our college the kind of lx ok which we feel she deserves. Miss Janice Kent, Art Advisor to the staff, calls for a layout change in the name of balance. Dr. Charles Johnson, Feature Advisor, show’s Margaret Winslow, Feature Editor, and Assistant Feature Editor Cindy Shaw an amusing mistake in copy. Measuring pictures and counting inches. Art Editor Sue Barton and Ann Lumsoen, Assistant Art Editor, design a page for the '63 hook. This year’s staff found that an increase of sixty-two pages means more copy, more layouts, more planning, more revision, more staff members, and, generally, more work in the same time. Conjuring ideas into reality is hard fun. Research Editor Pat Pickrcl and her assistant, Kathv Oimldewicz, locate key information for copy accuracy.

Radford Review Dr. Virginia O'Rear Hudson, Professor Emeritus of English, began the RADFORD REVIEW, a quarterly magazine, in 1947. She served as its editor until her retirement in 1961. Intended as an outlet for literary and art compositions of both students and faculty, the RADFORD REVIEW has been edited this year by the English Department and by a Student Editorial Staff. Under the direction of Thomas E. Coleman, Jr., editor, the two staffs review material submitted by students who arc interested in receiving constructive criticism, and publication, of their work. Manuscripts arc carefully read by both faculty and student staff members, and written criticisms are prepared for the author (both the successful and the unsuccessful aspects of his writing are cited). Material in recent issues has included poetry, short stories, and criticism. The REVIEW is mailed to the homes of all students and to members of the Alumnae Association, as well as to high schools and colleges throughout the state.

Grapurchat I’he GRAPURCHAT was begun in 1921, after a contest was held to decide its name. The name was derived from a combination of the school colors, grey and purple, plus the word chat embodying the function of the paper, as a medium for relaying campus news, gossip and information. The editor-in-chief is elected by the student body. She in turn appoints those who will make up the staff. The deadline is met. Now, some Last minute checks with the staff advisor. The paper is under the over-all supervision of the Dean of Women. The GRAPURCHAT is an important means of informing the student of what is taking place on the campus as well as providing an interesting and often humorous, picture of the activities anti pre-occupations of student life.

In the 1910 BEE HIVE the band, not the Highlanders at this point, was hailed as, “one of the youngest organizations on the campus and its write-up ended with “Look out for the Band.” Since 1010 the band has grown in membership and in performance and the Radford College Highlanders are known throughout the nation for thier Scottish kilts and as lassies with southern drawls. To the people at the Apple Blossom Festival in Winchester, to fans at Tech games, to local onlookers at parades the Radford band is an old friend and welcome performer. The band has been repeatedly invited to participate in the Macv’s Parade in New York, however, this year new uniforms were ordered and the lassies stayed in the highlands — saving toward an even more striking performance next year.

Kadford College Highlander, 1963. Dr. Jones makes a point as polish is added. Glee Club Performance and demonstration of the accomplished singing which makes our Glee Club an asset to our campus assemblies and a valuable training and musical experience medium have proven that careful selection of members, serious practice, and skilled direction can lx valuable to individual members and to the college. The existence of such a group has been appreciated this year as the girls, under the direction of Professor Zur-brigg, have attempted increasingly more difficult pieces with admirable results. In addition to having performed in the Thanksgiving and Christmas services, the thirty-two members of this year's group have sung on tours throughout the year. In the spring they enjoyed a picnic with the Virginia Tech Glee Club. The Ensemble gives highly skilled members the opportunity to sing advanced pieces. Choral Club Three quarters of participation in Glee Club or Choir are required for becoming a member of the Radford College Choral Club. Sharing an interest in perfection of group singing and in furthering interest in choral music, the members of the Choral Club perform for the Christmas program, brought carols to the campus at Christmas by singing in the dining hall before the traditional Christmas dinner, and performed with the Glee Club in the Spring Concert using the theme South Pacific.” Individual attention gives polisli to performance. 174 GLEE CLUB First Sopranos CHORAL CLUB First Sopranos GLEE CLUB Second Sopranos GLEE CLUB Altos CHORAL CLUB Second Sopranos CHORAL CLUB Altos Orchestra The Radford College Orchestra, under the direction of Dr. Charles Wunderlich, provides accomplished musicians with the opportunity to play in a disciplined symphonic group. The orchestra was started last year with the hope that through the enthusiasm of talented young musicians and through disciplined work it would l ecome a significant addition to the musical life of the college and the community. The orchestra has grown both in size and in professional skill and will soon lie giving its first public performance. We are proud of this unique addition to our cultural life. 176 The Ensemble provides an opportunity to play a specialized type of musical composition. Pansophia In the same spirit which the Ingles and Pokie literary societies shared, Pansophia was created to afford the individual who is interested in literary pursuits an opportunity to hear, read, and discuss the threads of human inquiry which have inspired literature. The dream of having a home for their societies saw their member? eager to help prepare a two hundred seventy-five year old oak, which had fallen behind Founders Hall, for sawing into timber. The plans were drawn, hut the hall never was built. The oak leaf was adopted as the symbol of Ingles Literary Society. In the class names, given to alternate entering freshman classes, Pokie and Ingles have been preserved as traditional campus names. The service which these societies gave is provided today by Pansophia. A little knowledge is a dangerous thing. In monthly meetings and through campus-wide lectures, discussion groups, and literary exhibits, Pansophia proyides an opportunity for the free exchange of ideas and interests among students and faculty. Topics ranging from the effects of radiation to the humor of Browning and the history of the theatre have been discussed. Mr. Propst lectures on what it is to be an intellectual in modem society. 177 laiXcttc Golden, President; P.it Patterson, Vice-president, Margot Powell, Secretary; Charlie Wright.

Iota Sigma, was chartered in 1911 and includes among its members students, faculty, and alumnae. Throughout the year the group sponsors lectures, encourages the understanding of current scientific research and theory, conducts research by its members, and serves as a stimulus for high scholastic achievement in sciences. The yearly Key Award is given to the chapter’s outstanding current or alumnae member. Dr. J. Frances Allen, distinguished alumnae member, is shown preparing charts for illustration of her talk at the Virginia Academy of Science meeting at the University of Virginia in May. 1937.
