MARTIN Who, because he came to Sullins College as vice-president in 1945, is really a member of our class; Who, because of his genuine interest in us and in our college, is never too busy to help us solve our problems, great or small; Whose quiet manner and friendly personality have made a place for him in our hearts, We, the Seniors of 1946-47, affectionately dedicate this Sampler. Page 8 Though Mr. Martin said that we should come to him if we wanted some one to agree with us, we often find ourselves ac- cepting his wiser views. Mr. Martin is interested in all cur activities from events or problems of major importance to a short ride in the station wagon.

Pag© 15 Dean of Girls Mrs. Martin, our Dean of Girls, gives us something during our life at Sullins that no other person could give us. When we first meet her, we are conscious of her charm and grace. When she talks to us in chapel or in the home office, we are aware of her all embracing knowledge. She can converse with ease and bril- liance about almost any subject. Mrs. Martin has not only a great appreciation of the finer things of life but also a wonderful way of help- ing us to see the beauty of these things. In spite of the many tasks she must perform daily, she is never too busy to talk to us. When we go to her for help, we can be sure of genuine interest and understanding of our problems. We shall remember Mrs. Martin long after we leave Sullins for the gentle, patient way she guides our lives here at college. Page 16 President In after years, when our minds return to Sullins days, we shall think of our beloved president, Di. W. E. Martin. His philosophy and his principles, deeply instilled in our minds and hearts, will ever serve as in- centives to finer living. His great desire is to make clearer to each one of us our purpose in life. Dr. Martin, a lover of nature and horses, sees that the college has the best of each so that we may ali know more of them. Each spring in chapel he gives informative talks which awaken our interest in the rare flowers and trees on the campus. Vitally interested in every girl and every organization on the campus, he is always trying to make us happier. His faith, which shows through in his everyday life, his humor, and his kind, gentle ways will re- main long in the heart of every girl who has attended Sullins. Page 17 Vice-President Our vice-president, Mr. William T. Martin, son of Dr. and Mrs. Martin, came to Sullins last year after working on the reorganization of the Associated Gas and Electric System in New York City. Mr. Martin at- tended Washington and Lee University, where he received his A. B. degree, and Harvard University, where he received his LL. B. degree. In these two years, he has taken an active interest in the good of the college and of the girls. We feel free to go to him at any time, for we are sure that he will give us sound advice because of his enthusiastic interest in our problems. Mr. Martin ' s keen sense of humor and his pleasant smile have made him a friend to every girl at Sullins. He can be counted on to act wisely and sympathetically in every situation. Pag© 18 Dean Dean Daniel L. Metts is one of the first people each girl at Sullins meets. Whether we approach him at the beginning of the year to outline our courses or return later for further help, he meets us with our own in- terests at heart. Dean Metts attended Emory University, where he received his M. A. and B. Ph. degrees. He has also done graduate work at the University of North Carolina. He is a native of Georgia. He not only serves as Dean of the faculty but also teaches freshman English. His classes are very in- teresting because of his keen sense of humor. Dean Metts has a sincere interest in all of us and in our futures, and his firm, reliable judgment guides us through the year ' s work. His genuine interest in his work gives all of us an ambition to try and meet his standards. Page 19 Miss Ruth V. Milbrandt, of Monticello, Wisconsin, is head of the English department.

She came back to Sullins this year to assist in riding, for she has both wide interest and talent in that field. Miss Bartholdi is from Minneapolis, Minnesota. One of her hobbies is riding in horse shows; we owe her much appreciation for the cups and ribbons she has won for Sullins. Our school nurse, Mrs. Guy B. McArthur, is a native of New York. She received her training in Philadelphia at Lakeneau Hospital and at St. Christopher ' s Hospital for Children. In World War I she was a Red Cross nurse. We all realize that Sullins could not get along with- out Mrs. Mac ' s gentle and patient care. We have learned to love and respect her. Because of the efforts of Miss Anne S. Dempster, Sullins lassies are kept comfortable and happy. She supervises the dormitories and sup- plies us with all our room necessities.

A graduate of Sullins, she has been back for several years helping to make our frequent visits to the Hut pleasant and enjoyable. Mrs. Andrews can always be counted on to furnish the girls with their needs and fulfill their wants cheerfully and willingly. Mrs. Etta R. Granberry is one of the supervisors in the kitchen.

Boggess ( ' Aunt Maud to us) is known chiefly on the Sullins campus for her management of Camp Sequoya. Her native state is Mississippi, where she attended the Southern Female College.

It is on her shoulders that many of us pour our troubles, for she has proved herself a good and understanding listener. She is always ready to help us solve our problems, and many is the time she has made special trips to town to buy things for the girls. She is also sponsor of the Tennessee Club. The hostess on the first floor of Martin Hall is Mrs. R. B. Platt of Roanoke, Virginia. After she graduated from Oxford Academy, she taught school for a while. Mrs. Platt likes to collect unusual stamps, but says her chief interest right now is centered around her thirty-six lovely junior girls. We think she has been successful in helping all the girls. Mrs. C. S. Jones resumed her position as senior hostess this year after a year ' s absence. Her native state is Virginia, where she attended Woman ' s College in Richmond. Mrs. Jones ' favorite hobby is her scrapbook of poetry and unusual proverbs. Her main interests lie in reading and taking care of young people. Every Senior will agree that she has made our last year at Sullins a happy one. -■ ' 58 Miss Hattie May Wilkerson of Jackson, Tennessee, is the hostess on the third and fourth floors of Reynolds Hall.

Before coming to Sullins she was a hostess at the Columbus Aviation Cadet Club. Most of Mrs. Cavett ' s time is taken up by her duties at the college, but she finds time to enjoy her favorite hobbies — music and flowers. Her youthful, friendly personality has won our love.

Everything is about the same as we left it. I ' m glad they didn ' t tamper too much with our Sullins while we were gone. What ' s new includes 1) some wobbly- legged new arrivals at the stables, 2) the scraggly beginnings of the new library building, 3) a new home for some lucky Seniors in what used to be the library, and 4) a new station wagon for our trips to town and points west. Their ideas of Sullins range all the way from a page out of Gone with the Wind through a DuBarry Success Course to a con- tinuous hen party. I felt very grand and important as an old girl convincing them that This really won ' t hurt a bit. Or did I convince them? The new girls sign in while Seniors wait to show them to their rooms. The end of this week will find us all pretty well settled. Tomor- row I ' ll join that long chattering line in frront of Dean Metts ' office and probably change my sched- ule half a dozen times before I talk to him. To take shorthand or not to take shorthand — that is the question! September 10, 1946 Dear Diary, Today has been one of the most exciting days I have ever known. I spent last night on the train an- swering questions from eager new girls. Just about every one came back. Ours will be the biggest Senior class in Sullins history. Mrs. Jones, our hostess, will be Classes will start Thursday, they tell us. Maybe by then my sheets and towels will have come, and I won ' t be living like a Nean- This morning I plopped my bags down in the room assigned to me, learned who my roommate is to be, and then joined the wel- coming committee on the front porch. With the other Seniors, I have been busy all day showing the new Juniors to their rooms. We all get acquainted at our first Hut Party. Page 42 Days Together derthal woman. In the meantime, I shall haunt the post-office. It still rivals the Hut as one of the most popular places on the campus. September 21 September 15 Hah! This week has been Rat Week — truly a week of contrasts. Things started off very quietly with the annual tea at Dr. and Mrs. Martin ' s home, where we met the new teachers and chatted with the ones we knew last year. We felt very motherly taking our Juniors down the hill and con- voying them through the receiv- ing line. Little did they know then what was in store for them. This has really been one busy five days! We Seniors have not only helped get the Juniors partly settled — and initiated into some of the mysteries of college life — but also settled ourselves after a fash- ion. We still need to do some shopping tomorrow so that our room will look presentable when we have open house. On Preview Night we dressed in our most dark and ominous dresses and tried to look threat- eningly at the Juniors as they scuttled out of the dining room and up the stairs. Then the ordeal began in earnest. I ' ll never forget Rat Beeland ' s A main event of the day — mail! The pleasant memories of boating and swimming on Lake Day will long remain with us. tender interlude with that tree out- side the Hut; Rat Smith ' s ardent sonneteering: I love the Seniors ' ' ; Rat Cowden ' s excavations in the rose garden for two worms tied in a square knot; or Rat Bou ' s gallant attempts at scintillating dinner conversation while eating a well-balanced ' ' meal. Rat Court was the final contrast. As the frightened Juniors trooped in, we had all we could do to keep from giving just one smile of en- couragement; and as we rose to sing Together, many of us were between tears and laughter. It will be a relief to be able to be human again. This strong silent business is all very well — BUT! Page 43 At Mrs. Martin ' s tea we become better acquainted with the faculty. We had the annual Hut party on Thursday night. I didn ' t have so many new names to learn as I did last year, but there were more than I could learn in one evening at that. Jerre Baucum and B. J. Cason showed us some new steps in jitterbugging. Classes really got started on Friday. Looks as if the teachers don ' t intend to ease up any. It surely will seem funny to do my library work in the gym. And where, oh where, will I do my gym work? Yesterday afternoon we went over to the lake and spent the afternoon tramping over the hills, playing ball, and canoeing in preparation for that big picnic supper. Can it be possible that Dr. Martin will turn Republican? This morning, we all went in a body to State Street Methodist Episcopal Church, where we were the honor guests at the service. Next time we go there in a body, the year will have passed and we shall be having our baccalaureate service. But I must go get my Juniors and take them down to Mrs. Martin ' s tea. And to think that, in spite of all the excitement of Rat Week, we managed to betake ourselves down to the Tennessee High School twice: once to hear the Navy Band and again to see the Barter Players of Abingdon in Much Ado About Nothing. ' ' We came this fall together . October 8 Rat Week seems far in the past now. We have had open house, and we have serenaded the Jun- iors. At Open House, Miss Mil- brandt took a picture of Dr. Mar- tin with Marcia, Betty, and Sarah AND the pink elephant on their wall. Do you suppose he will vote Republican this tall? At the seren- ade, we sang Together - — and felt it. This week at one time or an- other most of us scampered down to the Daniel Studio to have our pictures taken. Poor Mattie Jane Page 44 was torn between impatient stu- dents clamoring to see their proofs and bone-headed students who protested that their high-schooi graduation pictures were much more flattering. October 17 Last Sunday, we Seniors enter- tained the Juniors and the faculty at the annual Senior-Junior recep- tion. It was really lovely. And the food! Oh, those cookies! The serv- ing committee crept guiltily away with tidy little napkins full of luscious remnants. The Seniors entertain the Juniors in Senior dining room. The dancing lesson! This was probably the last time we ' ll need to lead the Juniors through a receiving line. They are all developing into the poised Sul- lins beauties they ' ve heard so much about. Midsemesters are coming up. Every evening high study hall is being held out in the corridor. The Juniors have to know all about Queen Victoria by Friday. How well I remember my struggles with that respectable lady. One of the most striking inci- dents this week was the awful mishap to the one, the only, the irreplaceable liver fluke (phylum- platythelminthes) in the biology lab. The motion has been made, seconded, and carried that all dis- secting kits will henceforth be draped in black in memory of this martyr to the cause of science. October 29 The Bookstore finally received a shipment of sweat shirts this week, just in time not to be in time for the Tennessee Club hayride. I barely escaped with my life in the stampede to buy them, but at last I ricocheted out into the corridor clutching proudly a soft, comfort- able garment only several sizes too large for me. It came in handy, though, as I helped decorate for the Sampler dance the very next afternoon, and grey sweat shirts and blue jeans were the costume of the hour. I was still picking cornstalk splinters from under my finger nails as I pressed my formal. Members of the staff receive the guests at the Sampler Dance. Page 45 At Left: We enjoy the tea aiven by the day students at Betty Wiley ' s home. though we had a glorious time in Washington, we must have missed a lot of important doings here at school from the reports that are still coming in. First, there was the Villagers ' tea for the boarding students held at the beautiful home of Betty Wiley on Lee Heights. The girls were received by Daphne Gibson, who introduced them to the receiv- ing line: Mrs. Martin, Mrs. Wiley, Miss Nicholson, Betty Wiley, and the other club officers. We hear that the food was unusually good -those Villagers make grand hostesses. Then there was the Hallowe ' en bonfire down in the hockey field with singing, story-telling, and apples for all. But what sounds even more intriguing (we are still booting ourselves for not having been here) is the tantalizing story of a miniature Johnstown flood up on third Senior. Those involved included several maddened Sen- iors and an historic water fight. They say that even Mrs. Jones ' most authoritative hand-clapping could scarcely quiet the bedlam that ensued. I thought this was Study Hall, girls. Oh, but the dance was wonder- ful! The band was good when it finally arrived; the men were plentiful and TALL (I ' ve long since lost my Junior timidity about girl- break dances); and, to make a perfect evening positively ecstatic, I managed to acquire one of the jack-o-lantern decorations for the suite when it was all over. November 6 Candy and I took our first- semester cuts last week-end, and, At Right: The V. P. I. Commanders play for the Black and White Ball. Page 46 1 brought out most of their bedding and curled up on the ground to nap while Miss Liles told us just how soon we should all burn to crisps if we didn ' t learn better discipl ine. Then back to bed. But not for long, as that miser- able bell rang again, and we had to repeat the performance. November 29 All sorts of activities went on this week. First came the long- awaited Black and White ball. The dining room was beautiful — decorated with big sparkly fans and black silhouettes covered with the same little bits of silver. The band was from V. P. I., and it really outdid itself. The Sullins Players present a very impressive play, Tribute to Gallantry. Dot is still out in the hall study- ing. As soon as the cocoa is ready (We don ' t really have a hot-plate — we just hold a cigarette lighter under the pot), we ' ll open the sardines and Ritz crackers and call her in. November 1 1 We are feeling rather solemn tonight, for we have just seen Ben Hecht ' s Tribute to Gallantry. It made us realize just how fortunate we are to be Americans. The Sul- lins Players gave very convincing portrayals of the people who suf- fered so greatly in World War II. November 22 Grades came out last week. Please, just don ' t say anything — I ' ll get over it. We ' ll all pull through — somehow — maybe. Maybe the Salvation Army can use another drum-player. And surely there must be room for an- other artificial-flower maker. More night life: Yesterday, we had the first fire-drill of the year — or should I say drills? The bell went off just as we were sinking into slumber with visions of Greg- ory Peck dancing through our heads. Immediately there was a mad rush to collect the shoes, towels, coats, roommates, and other impedimenta the authorities consider necessary for fire-fight- ing. Oh, that cold, cold wait out in the yard! Several bright souls had Sunday meant navigating the hill in our sling-pumps again, and my borrowing one of Betsy ' s mul- titudinous hats for church. In the afternoon we told fortunes and feuded over that last bit of cake left from dinner. Barbie will just have to learn to snatch quicker. The next night, the Radio Work- shop gave its semi-annual ban- quet at the Hotel Bristol. The room was all over yellow roses, and the food was perfectly scrumptious. An evening of enjoyment for members of the Academy — their annual banquet. Page 47 speeches. The Juniors of this year amaze me. I remember that, at the banquet last year, I was scared to death of my Senior and had to think back to Mother ' s rules for making dinner-table conversation. But this year ' s Juniors seem to have spent all their off week-ends at the President ' s Birthday Ball. Never an awkward moment. After dinner, two surprise pack- ages wrapped in cellophane were delivered to the speakers ' table. They turned out to be the students ' choice for King and Queen of Mardi Gras — Nancy Morris and Virginia Beeland! Today the girls who are going down to Sewanee for the Thanks- giving week-end left in a mad flurry of almost-forgotten suitcases and the station wagon. I wonder how we ever got on without that handy carryall. December 7 Things have been happening at such a furious pace that my head is still pivoting slowly. Each of us has been making all sorts of Christmas preparations. Monday, our suite procured a small, ruffled- looking Christmas tree, made third-grade paper decorations for it, and looped junk jewelry all over its little boughs. WE think it ' s beautiful! We have been expounding Santa Claus presents gifts to our Christmas children. B. J. Cason welcomes us to the Junior-Senior Banquet. After the dinner, Chris gave a reading of The Tell-Tale Heart that chilled the very marrow of our bones, and Shirley Smith sang. The next day (I ' m beginning to puff) was Thanksgiving with its huge turkey dinner and all kinds of town permissions. At dinner we sang Christmas carols, White Christmas, and the Alma Mater. We ' ll remember Thanksgiving at Sullins for many years to come. learnedly to each other the points of the lecture given by Virginius Dabney on Thursday. True, when we are at home Christmas, we can surprise friends and family with our erudite conversation, but those chairs in the Tennessee High School auditorium are SO hard! The event of the week was the Junior-Senior Banquet. Ah, food, candles, hospitable Juniors, Santa Clauses, and really good The party then adjourned to the front parlors, where we sat on the carpet and sang Christmas carols. The Academy Banquet was held at the General Shelby Hotel last night. The snowman motif was carried out, even to the little place cards. Dr. Martin and Tex Ware, the Academy president, spoke; Nancy Bell and Rosemary Bray sang Christmas carols. Dur- ing the courses, carols were played on the phonograph. Joyce Harris, my Academy correspond- ent, forgets who changed the records. Page 48 Christmas comes but once a year! December 12 Last day of school before the holidays — I ' m in the most historic dither ever to be attained by a Sullins student (in other words, a dithe r of international proportions.) Between packing and tests and music and the Christmas tree and buying tickets (and cancelling them and buying others), I ' d lose my head if it were not tacked on. I ' ll never forget the candlelight service, when the Glee Club sang Christmas carols. Our gifted class- mates looked like so many cher- ubs in their pastel dresses. Some of the girls sang in the community presentation of Han- del ' s Messiah at the Paramount Theater on Sunday evening. It was a truly beautiful oratorio. On Monday evening, we had our Christmas tree for some of the underprivileged children of Bristol. The little girl our suite drew re- minded us of our small siblings at home. The boxes of toys and clothing were lined up on the stage under the biggest and love- liest Christmas tree I have ever seen. We sat in the darkened auditorium and sang carols, and then the children trooped in. After Santa Claus had called out the names and given the chil- dren their gifts, we took them out in the hall and enjoyed their pleasure in unwrapping the gifts. I hope we ' ll see little Shirley again after we come back. Tonight we have been sitting up saying Goodbye to each other, and now it is almost two o ' clock in the morning. I am going to be strong-willed and go to bed. See all you people next year! The Sullins Glee Club entertains us with a beautiful Christmas program. Page 49 February 9 Dr. Martin thanks us for his gift a! his annual birthday dinner. First semester ended — after those horrible exams, that is — with a sport dance, which helped to lift our depressed spirits. Sweat- ers and skirts were a bit of an innovation on the Sullins dance floor, but they proved their salt in jitterbugging. Second semester began with the Tennessee Club ' s reception at the Hut for the girls who entered Sul- lins this semester. We Seniors welcomed Candy Darragh and Betsy Gammill back to the fold; the Juniors and the Academy stu- dents welcomed new members. We all went masked to the Villagers ' Dance. Instead of the conventional cur- rent events program on Wednes- day, Miss Nicholson and some other members of the faculty dem- onstrated some current events closer to our own experience — our own behavior in the classroom. Shall we ever forget Miss Liles as the lame-brained student, or that rare discussion of Alice in Won- derland ? My fingers, toes, ears, and nose are tingling in the sudden cold snap. Saturday afternoon, the ten- nis court was flooded for skating. But that night some genie seemed to have transformed the ear- muffed, red-nosed little gremlins of January 17, 1947 I don ' t know why I put off study- ing for exams — I know I ' ll have to do it sooner or later. Every time I go out the door to go down to the Hut or into town, I can feel re- proachful looks from that long line of bookcases searing my back. We heard Stuart Chase lecture on Thursday night. Back in the room, we had our usual hen ses- sion. Mrs. Jones came by to check and stayed to join in the discus- sion. Dr. Martin cuts his birthday cake at the Hoofprints Tea.

We had even more snow on Sunday. We literally mushed down to the Hoofprints clubhouse for the tea in honor of Dr. Martin — and of the club ' s own anniver- sary. Betty Noland presented the birthday cake to Dr. Martin, and he cut it and gave us all a gener- ous slice. We have all been shouting Everybody ' s Got a Laughing- Place at one another ever since we saw Walt Disney ' s Song of the South.

It proved that, though modes and manners have changed, young people and schools have not. The first act opened on the courtyard of a girl ' s school on the outskirts of Vienna.

The boys from a nearby mili- tary school who marched through the courtyard to the wide-eyed admiration of the girls, were danced by Jeanne Boe, Joyce Brown, Carolyn O ' Connell, Newell Rider, Barbara Middleton, Virginia Balentine, Lorna Somes, and Mari- lyn Shultz. One of the girls, Deirdre Laing, was particularly entranced by one of the handsomest of the boys, portrayed by Jeanne Boe. Mary Lou Griffith appeared as the gypsy whose fortune-telling lured the girls away from their studies. Later in the evening, after sur- Page 52 King Nancy Morris and Queen Virginia Beeland reign over Mardi Gras. prising the younger girls at play- ing pranks, Deirdre and her friends listened to a beautiful serenade sung by Mr. Kreiner (Now you know ! ), and Deirdre re- ceived a note from her admirer. The younger dancers in the dormitory scene were Lucile Davis, Ann Short, Margaret Pyle, Mary Lou Sampson, Eleanor Huie, Lori Hofmann, Millicent Gardiner, Betty Armstrong, Charlotte Brad- shaw, Barbara Hazelwood, Pat Melick, Barbara McCall, Chris McCoy, and Nancy Bell. The olders girls were danced by Sarah Kuhnert, Susan Walton, Norma Crews, Willadean Skill- corn, Edna Jo Woodward, Diane Moody, Jerre Baucum, Betty Star- ling, Mary Lou Griffith, Pat Dailey, Sara Wilcox, Jo Ann Crisler, Ann Cleveland, Pat Malley, and Bar- bara Keen. The third act showed the grad- uation ball of the two schools, at- tended by the Emperor and Em- press of Austria and their Court. The girl, Deirdre, and the boy, Jeanne Boe, met before the Com- mencement exercises and danced a gay duet, followed by a general frolic of the students of the two sc hools. A note of comedy was added by a flirtation between the head- mistress of the girls ' school, played by Rosemary Hoffman, and the general of the boys ' school, played by Barbara Jean Cason. The dancers were interrupted by two blue-clad pages, Betsy Smith and Pat Sproles, announc- ing the arrival of the Emperor and Empress of Austria and their court. The Empress, played by Vir- ginia Beeland, and the Emperor, played by Nancy Morris, came on the stage and were seated in places of honor, surrounded by the court. The ladies of the court were Leah Desportes, Rita Shaw, Milli- cent Merker, Elizabeth Ann Smith, Betty Anne Parish, Claire Mo- roney, Mary Echols, Nancy Belser, Beverly McCracken, Mary Eliza- beth Drake, Betty Kerr, and Re- becca Prichard. The gentlemen were Dorothy Cowden, Nancy Blunt, Joan Bailey, Polly Wampler, Norma Jean Dew, Juanita Baker, Barbara Hill, Judy Wood, Barbara St. Clair, Jane Knaebel, Patricia Clark, and Bettie Jane Ross. After the Commencement exer- cises, the court danced a stately waltz. Then, to the music of the traditional recessional, the rulers and the court passed slowly from the auditorium. Mardi Gras, 1947, was over; but we knew we should always re- member it as one of the finest Sullins has ever presented. Every one helped to make this pageant a success — Mrs. Hodge and Miss Ball and the art students, who de- signed and made the beautiful scenery; Mr. Kreiner and the Glee Club, who provided the back- ground music; Mrs. Cooper, who played the accompaniments to the ballet; Miss Hardinge, who planned the choreography and costumes and directed the ballet; and, finally, the Junior Class, who sponsored both the pageant and the ball on Saturday night. As I sit writing this, I am wait- ing my turn at the Sloan ' s liniment we have been applying to the bruises on our ankles from all those hoopskirts at the Mardi Gras ball. About fifty per cent of the Page 53 March 22 These two weeks since Mardi Gras have literally flown. Before we know it, we shall be fearfully pulling those little white slips with our grades from the postoffice boxes and sending those frantic letters and ' phone calls home to our families, explaining that 1) I was sick the day the big test was given, 2) that teacher just doesn ' t understand me, or 3) you must realize that these grades are not final — the ones that will go on the permanent record at the end of the year will be much, MUCH better! Just think — only two and a half more months and we Seniors will be saying goodbye to Sullins for- ever. Though most of us have solemnly vowed to come back for a reunion at Mardi Gras next year, it ' s going to be hard to see our friends off after Commence- ment, knowing that we shall never see many of them again. Every once in a while, the realization of how little time is left comes to all of us, and we begin to treasure every moment. Fortu- nately, the next few months will be filled with so many activities Above: King Nancy, Queen Virginia, and their escorts lead the Grand March. Below: Fun for every one at the Mardi Gras Ball. girls at the ball defied the law of gravity in strapless gowns puffed out at the bottom by heavy hoops. Altogether the theme of old Vienna was beautifully carried out — not only in the bright, bouf- fant dresses and in the number of uniforms moving about but in the colorful decorations. The highlight of the evening was the Grand March, featuring the King and Queen of Mardi Gras and their court. The Queen and the ladies of the court wore their colorful costumes, which we ' d been dying to see close up. The A. A. Banquet is a climax to the year ' s activities. Page 54 that we shall not have much time to spend in grieving and you, my much-abused diary, will have to take reducing exercises to survive at all. First of all, the long-awaited Academy Dance will be held late this month. I wonder what magic formula the Academy girls use right before their dance so that it is always one of the best of the year. Perhaps the ' Gay Nineti es” decorations and the good band they are having this year is part of the secret. Sometime in March the Juniors will be developing deep furrows in their brows over the research papers in freshman English. I re- member how we slaved over those footnotes and bibliographies last year. What would we ever have done without page 471 of Amer- ican Composition and Rhetoric? We shall be eagerly awaiting the Spanish Club ' s presentation of the Last of the Mohicans. Where ' s that old reference book on war whoops that was lying around the room yesterday? Maybe if I brush up on Indian lore, Mr. Ingram will be persuaded to pass me in Span- ish this quarter. Easter festivities this spring will be largely carried on away from the college, because Dr. Martin The Symphony is a feature of the spring. We all danced to the music of Stan Kenton at the ' 46 Prom. We look forward to the graduation recitals. has given us a free Saturday be- fore Easter Sunday. In the few weeks before this va- cation, most of the Sullins girls will wander down to the Sterling House to drool over this spring ' s beautiful hats, and some of our artists will be up to their talented ears in hat forms and flowers, de- signing their own creations. Early in April the Juniors will come into their own with Junior Week. How we looked forward to those extra town and dating per- missions last year, and how hu- miliated I was when I fell asleep Page 55 Spring Proms promises to be perfectly lovely this year. For the first time the dance will be held in the ballroom of the General Shelby Hotel, and, once again, we shall have a real name band, Jan Garber ' s. There will be no danger of our being rained out, as we almost were last year when we planned to use the tennis courts for the dance. Before the end of April, we shall find ourselves in a flurry of class and club banquets. At the festive Junior luncheon at the hotel Shelby the officers for the next year will be announced. There is always much to interest us at the Science Exhibit. before the eleven o ' clock bell the very first night we were allowed late lights! Although the Art Club will not be able to give its traditional Night Club party this year, we shall all enjoy the movie the art students sponsor some time in April. I hope the movie they select this semester is as wonderful as The Duke of West Point, which they presented last fall. Louis Hayward filled our dreams for weeks afterward, and Betsy and I practised fencing with the curtain rods all one study hall. Above: The Home Economics girls honor the Seniors with a tea in the spring. At Left: Kinney, Terry, and Ann look interestedly at the Art Exhibit. The Radio Workshop, the Sul- lins Players, and the Hoofprints Club will hold their final banquets about this time, and the Athletic Association banquet will take place early in May. Other features of April at Sul- lins will be sun-bathing in the quarry and at Lake Sycamore, learning from Dr. Martin ' s chapel program to identify the spring Page 56 flowers on the campus, longer horseback rides, and strawberry shortcake for dessert. May will find us procrastinating Seniors madly finishing our Eng- lish book-reports while prepara- tions for the countless Commence- ment activities buzz around our ears. First, the many hours of concen- tration down in the practise rooms will bear fruit in the beautiful Symphony piano recital. This year the girls participating will be At Right: The Old Lady in the Shoe is proud of her children as they display their fashions. At Left: The Seniors of ' 46 present Shubert ' s Alley. earned caps and gowns, we shall be singing the traditional Hail, Sullins College, faithful and true that brought tears to our eyes last year as we sat on the sidelines. But, in contrast to our solemn conduct during chapel, our having finished classes will free us for sun-bathing, packing, and making ourselves popular with the Juniors still taking exams by the shout of WORK, while the Seniors play! Punctuating the last days of Senior Week will be ecstatic Mattie J. Fariss, Martha Raley, Wi- nona McCord, Pat Henry, Jean Isom, Jean Covington, Jane Ann Stone, Joan Zimmerman, Juanita Bradley, and Dorothy Bullock. Then the Home Economics Tea, given each year by the Home Ec. Juniors for the Senior class, will give the girls an opportunity to prove that their experiences under Senior wing over a hot stove have prepared them for wonderful cooking exploits in later years. Senior exams will start May 12 ( the day after my birthday, Candy mutters) and then our own Senior Week begins!

There will be many other things besides exploring the campus (and helping us sort our belong- ings out from those of our room- mates) for our families to do. Many of the College departments will be giving exhibits of the work the students have been doing through the year. Up in the Art room will be an exhibition of the posters, paint- ings, and sketches our talented classmates have produced. This exhibit will feature the work of the shrieks from the girls whose par- ents are arriving to attend Com- mencement. At last we shall meet the mothers, fathers, sisters, jun- iors, aunts, uncles, grandparents, and Old Doy Trays that our friends have been chattering about all year; and perhaps we shall be pointing out the beauties of the Sullins campus to our own families. I can hardly wait to in- troduce Ricky to the stables and the quarry. The only problem, besides find- ing places in crowded Bristol for our loved ones to stay, will be steering them delicately away from the demerit list and the Lost Below: The ' 47 Queen, Maid-of-Honor, and Court.

Next on the list of activities will be the Home Economics Style Show. At this truly entertaining event the girls from the sewing classes will model some of the clothes they have made. Last year the theme of the Style Show was The Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe, and the lovely clothes modeled by the Old Woman ' s (Jane MacArthur ' s) children ranged all the way from sophisticated spring suits to frivolous checked pinafores. I practically wore my hands out clapping every time Peggy Bry- son, Suzanne Allen, or the other budding Tina Lessers appeared in another creation. And I ' ll never forget Sid Sanville ' s and Pat Dailey ' s anxious conferences be- fore that fateful afternoon. Sometime during Senior Week, graduation recitals will be pre- sented by the girls who are major- ing in music: Nona McCord, Jean Isom, and Dorothy Bullock will play in piano recitals, and Elise Cook and Ruth Torbett will sing. At these final programs we shall probably begin to realize how much we will miss the many piano and voice recitals given by the Sullins music department dur- ing our years at Sullins, and to appreciate Dr. and Mrs. Martin ' s tireless efforts to bring good music to us during our stay here. Then, if the weather is clear, we shall escort our panting families down that steep hill for the Com- mencement Horse Show. Here in the big ring below Roan ' s house they will see the famous Sullins horses put through their paces, illustrating Dr. Martin ' s maxim: ' ' Merry horses ridden by merry girls. How we struggled over that military drill a caballo during the intermissions last year! I remem- ber how frightened that tiny Palo- mino pony, Dynamite, was when he had to trot head-on into that line of perfectly huge (he must have thought) horses on the other side of the ring. At last, on Friday afternoon, we shall see the long-awaited May festival, honoring the May Queen, the Maid of Honor, and Court se- lected from the diploma students of the Senior class. This year ' s May Court will contain represent- atives of both beauty and brains! Our May Queen will be Miriam Isenhour, a dark-haired beauty from Charlotte, North Carolina, and we Yankees will be repre- sented by the Maid of Honor, Shirley Smith, a tiny blonde from Ellicottville, New York. The May Court this year will in- clude the following students: Suzi Faris, Katherine Hoelz, Winona McCord, Betty Winzeler, Beulah Wood, Betty Anderson, Suzanne Allen, Jerre Baucum, Helen Civil, Ann Davenport, Peggy Estes, Marshall Ann Fleming, Marcia Gray, Marilyn Curdes, Fran Gwin, Alice Hammond, Martha Hender- son, Elizabeth Lut her, Betty Sue Parker, Martha Dan Payne, Hen- rietta Swain, Sue Walton, Betty Wiley, and Betty Noland. Page 59 Above: A lovely sight is the Academy graduating class. Below: Parents and friends look on at the Academy graduation. That evening the Academy will hold its beautiful and impressive Candlelight Service. When dark- ness has fallen over the campus, the Seniors and underclassmen of the Academy, dressed all in white and carrying flickering candles, will march out on the front campus to form the letters S A outlined in fire. Then the Academy girls will sing songs dedicated to one an- other and to the school. What will make the Academy Candlelight Service even more impressive to those of us watching from the win- dows will be a realization of the fact that this will be the last time the Academy, as a group, will be together, for on the following day the Academy Seniors will be alumnae. The Academy Graduation is to be held in the natural amphi- theater. The girls will be wearing those lovely traditional long white dresses, and each will be carry- ing a huge bouquet of red roses, with long ribbon streamers. This year they hope to have Dr. Paul Worley for the guest speaker, as Dr. Lake was last year. Ellen Luttrell will be valedictorian and Marbee Hughes, salutatorian. It will be hard to say goodbye Bonnie Kilbourne and Martha Raley, the pages, will herald the procession down to the new nat- ural amphitheater, which was completed last spring. After the Queen has been crowned by her Maid of Honor, she and her court will be entertained by a ballet program presented by the college dance department, assisted by the members of the Glee Club. From all reports the costumes this year will be even lovelier than those of last year ' s May Court, which were of vari-colored chiffon with beautiful big picture hats. The Academy Candlelight Service is a traditional event. Page 60 The Seniors, singing Hail, Sullins College, ' ' and the Juniors, carrying the daisy chain, meet in the circle for the Daisy Chain ceremonies. to the Academy girls. Whether ex- hibiting their inimitable jitter- bugging style at the Hut, snatch- ing our men out from under our very noses at dances, decorating their rooms over in Reynolds Hall so attractively, buzzing around Bristol on their all-too-few town permissions, swooning over the current movie favorites or taking one another by the forelock and cutting those omnipresent bangs, they have always been up to something new and original and have brightened many a moment for us. We know that the Academy commencement play will be equal to the other things that the Acad- emy has done. As a matter of fact, the Academy students plan to present two plays. Ruth Helen Applebaum and Dottie Edmond- son will be darling as the bisque figures in Manikin and Minikin (Alfred Kreymborg), and Sob Stuff (Evelyn Neuenburg) prom- ises to be screamingly funny. The girls say that we shall split our sides laughing at Bunny Zerbs as Bunny. The Commencement Play will be presented in chapel Saturday night. Last year it was Shubert Alley, a more or less serious production, but Miss Humphrey has promised this year ' s talented dramatic students a popular farce to test their powers of comedy. What with parents, friends, most of Bristol and an occasional squashed student, the chapel will be straining at the seams. Later: Fran says that the Senior play will be an unpublished com- edy, Oh Father. Tryouts have already been held, and the cast sounds like a good one. Josephine Owen will play Mrs. Helen Baynard, the mother; Fran Gwinn, Annette; Libby Luther, Lucille; Betty Sue Parker, Eliza- beth; Viea Messham, Rebecca Baynard; Sara Moss, Adelaide Rogers; Pat Glover, Charlotte King; Kitty Kane, Mrs. Warren Austin; Barbara Kerby, Sarah Kin- caid; Donna Kramer, Theodora. Sunday morning we shall get into those yellow buses for the last time — to attend Baccalaureate Service at State Street Methodist Episcopal Church. After Baccalaureate and our last Sunday dinner at Sullins (will we ever forget Mrs. Jones and the chickenlivers — or that wonderful ice cream and cake for dessert?) the Seniors and all Commence- ment guests will be entertained at a tea at the home of Dr. and Mrs. Martin. Here we may introduce our families to the faculty mem- bers we have written home about in so many letters. Then the Seniors will go back to their rooms to put on their mortar-boards and robes for the Daisy Chain Ceremony. I wonder if I will start crying before or after Candy adjusts the tassel over my eye. Daisy Chain is the traditional Sullins ceremony in which the Seniors take leave of the school, Page 61 The Juniors look forward to their Senior year at Sullins. giving it into the hands of the Junior class — next year ' s Senior class. The capped and gowned Sen- iors will walk down the drive from Holston Hall, singing, Hail, Sul- lins College. The Juniors, carry- ing the Daisy Chain, will walk down the opposite end of the drive from Reynolds Hall. The two classes will converge on the steps in front of the school, and then the Seniors will move down to line up in the vamp circle. The Juniors will form two lines along the walks, with the Daisy Chain forming an S in the center. The classes will then sing songs dedicated to one another; and Ibis Tull, Senior Class president, Mari- lyn Curdes, Student Council presi- dent, and Martha Henderson, ed- itor-in-chief of the Sampler, will present their caps and gowns to their successors in next year ' s Senior Class. At this time, Joe Simms, Sullins ' oldest employee, will plant the symbolical ivy by the front steps of Martin Hall, and the two classes will turn to face the school and sing the Alma Mater. After Daisy Chain there will be a general wringing out of inun- dated handkerchiefs. Many Jun- iors will be amazed to see even the most dignified Seniors com- pletely dissolved in tears. Somehow the ceremony always brings emotions fizzing to the top like a saccharine tablet dropped in coffee. (Lookee, Miss Milbrandt, I made a simile!) Commencement exercises will be held shortly after Daisy Chain in the amphitheater. LaDeane Lawrence will be valedictorian and Marcia Gray, salutatorian. The Commencement address will be delivered by Dr. Eugene Smith of New Jersey. After the addresses and the awards, we will actually march up to receive those long-dreamed- of diplomas and certificates, and we shall be Sullins alumnae! With full hearts and tearful eyes, we shall sing our Alma Mater with a deepened apprecia- tion of its meaning: On the hill stands Sullins College ' Neath fair skies of blue. May she ever stand so proudly, Glorious to view. Through her halls the echoes linger Of our college days, Comradeship and love and courage, Loyalty and praise. Dearest Sullins in her glory Ever be our pride, And her name we ' ll ever cherish, Spread it far and wide. Lift the chorus, speed it onward, Over hill and dale, Hail to thee, our Alma Mater, Hail to thee, all hail! The last night at Sullins we shall probably all be up all night signing one another ' s Samplers, bumming innumerable cigarettes from our long-suffering room- mates, singing together for the last time the cherished Sullins songs, promising over and over again to write to each other faithfully, and reliving in memory the wonderful times we have had together. It will seem odd not to hear our pet sayings, such as I ' ll never tell! , I ' ll give you a clue, and You know she will! a t every other step. Songs like The Atchi- son, Topeka and the Santa Fe,” Til the End of Time, Rumors Are Flying, To Each His Own, Open the Door, Richard, Blue Skies, Sentimental Reasons, the incomparable Hi Don ' t Like Men, and countless others will always remind us of jitterbugging sessions at the Hut, formal dances, and our own special Someones. We ' ll never forget purloined mo- ments with the Chesterfield Sup- per Club, Molle Mystery, and the Hit Parade, or the contraband hot- plates produced on such occa- sions — funny how food you know you shouldn ' t be eating always tastes the best. Food, food, food! Where will we ever again see those choco- late-covered doughnuts, the tin roofs, Bassett ' s milkshakes, thick as Mississippi mud, Trayer ' s fried shrimp, steaks at Kaylor ' s — with maybe a chance to participate in Jerry Williams ' radio program, or He ster ' s wonderful brownies at the Hut? Little things in everyday Sullins life will become treasured memo- Page 62 ries: hauling our roommates out of bed in time for breakfast, or be- ing hauled ourselves, listening to that dizzy Alarm Clock Club song as we gather our books for chapel, getting scraped and bruised as Helen and Shirley clamber over our knees to their seats, smoking just one cigarette before class, playing that one hurried game of bridge after lunch. Taking turns at getting the mail and tugging each other ' s laundry down only fifteen minutes too late, borrowing money for bus fare to church or to lectures and concerts, trying out one another ' s hats, dresses, shoes, and dates just for size, and participating in deep pajama-clad conferences about everything from the uses of Kleenex in the modern American home to the problem, Are Truth and Beauty interchangeable? All through our lives we shall remember the hours spent in the Sullins classrooms, resisting the efforts of the faculty to plant some small grains of knowledge in our puzzled heads. Learning about the Civil War from the Other Side was a new experience for us Yankees, while few of the English Lit students escaped without a permanent crush on Byron. Many of us were startled by finding ourselves eyed specu- latively by our roommates, who had just attended one of Miss Guthrie ' s psychology classes. In future years, the biology stu- dents will be looking at their pet cats and seeing nothing but their internal anatomy, and the Home Ec. girls will be unable to observe Bossy placidly munching in the pasture without visualizing her as the main ingredient of a tasty souffle. And Miss Greene ' s radio stu- dents will be incapable of hearing a soap opera without timing it anxiously and sighing with relief when it ends on the nose. It has been said before, but one of the most important parts of life at Sullins has been learning to live with and appreciate individ- uals from all corners of the coun- try. Just as we Down Easterners learned that Texas is not all sage brush, guitars and lone cow- hands, the girls from the West learned that there is more than one way to ride a horse. One laughable effect of this interchange of influences from the different sections of the country has been the change in our ac- cents. While the Southern girls have startled their families by an- nouncing that So-and-So lives down the road a piece, we Yankees have found ourselves slingin ' our you-all ' s with the most befo ' de Wah Southerners. As we make our final farewells, we shall realize that we are leav- ing something of ourselves here at Sullins; but we shall also be taking with us many precious memories. Among those memories, the dearest, perhaps, will be of the friends we made here and of the hours we spent with those friends. I have mentioned some of those friends in these pages, Diary, and my Sampler will help to remind me — As if I should ever need a reminder! — of others. One day, when we went to chapel, we were asked to list the ten girls from whom we consid- ered most interesting. These lists, we learned later, were nominating ballots. On that first ballot, practically every one in school received at least one vote. (Thanks, roomie!) From that first ballot, the Sampler staff took the fifty girls who re- ceived the highest number of votes and asked us to vote for fifteen. The twenty-four whom we elected will have their pictures in the Sampler. I voted for some of them — and for some others who aren ' t there. Oh, well, even if I didn ' t choose the entire list, they will remind me of MY special friends and of the many occa- sions, formal and informal, on which I have been with them. They will also remind me and every one else of those wonderful week-ends which have been so important a part of our SULLINS DAYS! Page 63 June Chu Frances Gwin, the girl with the beautiful black hair and big brown eyes, can usually be found either sleeping or playing bridge when she is not in classes. Fran has been active in the dramatic departmem and is especially remembered for her role in The Apple of Contentment. Our Sullins Susie from far across the sea is June Chu. Trinidad can well be proud of this gay and happy daughter. Every one is happy to know June and to have her as a friend. Walking through the halls just wouldn ' t be the same without June ' s cheerful good day in the form of Hi when she meets us. Many of us envy her that glistening black hair and those beautiful black eyes. In both her years at Sullins, Helen Civil has been a very active member of the student body. In her Junior year, she was our Mardi Gras King, and this year she is a member of the May Court. Civil ' s stately dignity is envied by many of us. She is also well known for her individuality as a jitterbug, and for her mischievous antics. Her cheer- ful smile brightens the day. Helen Civil Page 64 Ibis Tull is the one who leads us in our class ac- tivities, and she makes a good job of it. Ibis partici- pates in all college activities, particularly in those in which the Senior Class and sports have a part. We are proud of her and of her helpful sugges- tions in all we choose to do individually or as a class. Ibis is an all-round girl who just loves to bake cakes — especially for somebody ' s birthday. Barbara Jean Cason, better known as B.J., has proved herself a good leader in her own Junior Class as well as in the activities of the college as a whole. B.J. ' s love for dancing is evident whenever she is at the Hut. Her jitterbugging is the envy of many a Susie at Sullins. Incidentally, she sings and plays her own accompaniment. A gay songbird is our Shirley Smith. Endowed by nature with beautiful golden locks and large blue eyes, she looks just like an angel when she sings in the Vested Choir. ' ' Beautiful but NOT dumb certainly typifies Shir- ley. A good student, a charming girl, and a won- derful friend, she will succeed. We are proud to have her as our Maid of Honor in the May Court. B. J. Cason Page 65 Betty Wiley is the tall, stately beauty who leads our day students. In the midst of the gaiety and laughter in the day students ' room, we can always find Betty. She is also the president of the Spanish Club. This clever, charming girl is known to all Sullins and to Bristol. A true Southerner with plenty of good old Southern hospitality is our Betty. Dainty and lovely best describe Barbara Keen. Her sweetness and her sincerity have made her a host of friends here at Sullins. She sings and plays the piano well when one can persuade her to do so. She is an ardent supporter of the airplane as a means of transportation and is a pilot in her own right. Barbara ' s charm has been felt throughout Sullins this year. Marilyn Curdes has been a good leader here at Sullins. Last year she was a Junior representative on the Student Council, and this year she is presi- dent. Mac is well known for her fairness and for her M __ sense of responsibility as Council president. She is Betty Wiley to he one °f the ladies in our May Court. Barbara Keen Marilyn Curdes Page 66 Jo McNabb is best known and loved at Sullins for being the typical Southern belle. Her fluffy, full skirted evening gowns in pastel colors are envied by many of us. Jo has big blue eyes that shine beautifully at the slightest occasion for talking about HIM. Her friend- liness, charm, and beauty make her one of our most popular girls at Sullins. Marilyn Phillips is the cheerful little earful who is always going somewhere or doing something. When on the athletic field, on the tennis court, or in the gym, Marilyn is happiest. An expert in all things athletic, she also pos- sesses sweetness and charm. She has a merry word for every one she meets, even when she is hobbling around on crutches. From deep in the heart of Texas to Sullins — that is Sara Moss. Her cowboy skirts are the envy of many a Sullins girl — North, East, South, or West. She is president of the Texas Club. Sara has school spirit plus. She is active in ath- letics and in the Senior Class. Her good sportsman- ship and refreshing personality ejidear her to us. Marilyn Phillips Jo McNabb Page 67 Miriam Isenhour Lovely Miriam Isenhour has been well known during both her years at Sullins for her beauty, her charm, and her versatility. Miriam ' s is a personality which has made her a leader in class activities. Her vitality and her readiness to do anything at any time make her one of the best known girls at Sullins. We feel that it is truly an honor to have this striking brunette as our May Queen. The Junior chcsen to be Mardi Gras Queen this year was our own lovely Virginia Beeland. Ginny ' s is the friendly voice that we often hear when we are on third floor Junior. Her beautiful blonde hair and sweet smile en- deared her to our hearts as soon as we met her. Ginny is a conscientious worker. Jean Bisplinghoff, better known as Bliss is one of the sweetest and most cheerful of all Sullins Susies. She is a perfect cheerer-upper, and we have yet to see her out of sorts about anything. We are all familiar with her large and numerous record collection and with that sleek Buick con- vertible. A true lover of her native state, she is president of the Florida Club this year. Jeanne Bisplinghoff « Page 68 Loveliness is the word for Mary Kinney. Charm and good grooming also fit into the de- scription of this art student. Mary is lovely in jeans or in formals. Her blonde hair can be arranged in any way and still look smart. Her magnetic personality has attracted every one at Sullins. She makes a lovely model for the other art students to draw, and she is a vivacious friend to all who know her. Peggy Estes is one of Sullins ' Yankee beauties. She is an all-round girl plus charm and femininity, topped off by cute dimples. Besides being a member of the May Court, Peggy has been active in athletics. She is athletics editor of the Sampler and vice-president of the Athletic Association. Bonnie Kilbourne is well known for her love for horses. A trip to her picture gallery down in the library suite will convince anyone of this interest. This petite and vivacious girl loves to eat at any time, day or night. Bonnie has been elected one of our most interesting personalities in both her years at Sullins. She will be a page in the May Court. Mary Kinney Peggy Estes Bonnie Kilbourne Page 69 Marcia Gray Muriel Hines Marcia Gray is a friendly miss, well known for her energy and her cooperative spirit. These char- acteristics have made her outstanding in college activities. In both her years at Sullins, she has been voted one of our most interesting personalities. This year, she is also president of the Science Club. Full of life and unpredictable, Marcia is one of our most popular Seniors. The laughter echoing from third floor Academy can usually be attributed to the cheerful good-nature of Muriel Hines, better known to us all as Sis. Her friendliness and understanding, as well as her keen sense of humor, have made her both well known and well liked by college girls as well as by Academy girls. Sis is a good girl to have around if one ever gets the blues. Jerre Baucum, petite and dainty, is well known around Sullins for her bright smile and her cheerful greeting. Senior wing wouldn ' t be the same without Jerre to cheer us up on our gloomy days. Lovely Jerre has been very active in her two years at Sullins. She is a member of the Student Council as well as of the May Court. Jerre Baucum Page 70 Henrietta Swain is a friend to every one at Sullins and is loved by every one in return. There isn ' t any- thing going on at Sullins that Stinki doesn ' t have a helping hand in. Her ability as a leader was best shown last year, when she was our Junior president. Stinki is known for her lovely red hair and her witty conversation. Her smile brings a responsive smile from every one she meets. We Seniors are happy to have her in our May Court. Maryland can well be proud of its stately beauty, Judy Wood. Her friendliness and sincerity have won the love and admiration of every one. This year she is vice-president of the Junior Class. Though she is an unusually good student, Judy is known also for her love of fun and a good time. The future looks bright and promising for this gra- cious and striking Junior. Juanita Baker, better known to all her friends as Weezie, has one of those typically Southern drawls that lets every one who meets her know at once that she is a true daughter of the South. She loves fun, especially on the athletic field. A gay and happy person is our dear friend Weezie. Henrietta Swain Judy Wood Juanita Baker Page 71 Sullins on the Hill Dear Babs: We are so sorry that you chose this week-end to take all your cuts, but we don ' t plan to have you miss any of the doings here at Sullins C., so here is what has happened. Saturday 7:30 a.m. Everyone in the suite was up in time for breakfast this morning — three cheers for our team. In fact, nearly every mem- ber of the senior class dragged herself down to the dining room. Once I had my coffee I realized that a psychology test, not the dance, was the reason for all the early birds. We sat at the table with Ibis and Terry, who recited psych at great length. They know so much that they must be memorizing the footnotes. 8:00 a.m. Into the chapel after a mad scramble to make that up- per bunk. Mr. Kreiner led us in a community sing. Just for once I would really like to hear ' ' Yankee Docdle Dandy ' ' instead of Dixie, but I had better keep my thoughts to myself or my roomy might commit a crime. We were let out a few minutes early — just enough time to smooth that bunk again, and put three pairs of shoes away — under the bed. The closet door is stuck again. 8:30 a.m. Sally and Candy are on their way down to the Bio lab to cut something to pieces to see what makes it tick. They mustn ' t have enough to cut up down there because they have been trying to cut into my hya- cinths. 9:25 a.m. Everyone is in class, so 1 am the one elected to await the mail. That psych test is next period. Will Dad send me some extra money so I can buy my ticket to the dance? Mail ' s up! We all got something this morning — your post card is on your desk and good dad came through, oh, psychology. 10:20 a.m. Now that I ' m in Miss Guthrie ' s classroom taking the test, it isn ' t bad at all. 11:15 a.m. Back to the room- no one home. Off to the Hut I go to talk about the dance tonight. The Hut is a beehive of excite- ment. Bonnie ' s and Sue ' s out-of- town dates are in town already. 12:10 p.m. Last class! They really should be omitted on dance week-ends because everyone is thinking about fingernails, hair- dos, and evening gowns. 1:05 p.m. Lunch at last — man, am I hungry and does food taste good! I really ought to go on a diet or I won ' t be able to get into that dress. 2:00 p.m. The time has now come to gather, tally, and bundle laundry — then drag it down to the laundry room. Mail is up again, but there is none for us. Maybe Betsy got here ahead of me — She did. 3:00 p.m. Hair rolled up. It is time to go to the Hut to play bridge and dance. I certainly like that gay shirt that Sara is wear- ing. Susie and Danny look so good dancing together. Jeanne and Ruth came in and asked if I would like to help deco- rate for the dance — would I? what fun! 4:00 p.m. The dining room looks wonderful. I do hope the scotch tape which I cut all after- noon sticks long enough to keep those flowers on the walls and posts. 5:30 p.m. Time to eat supper. Even though I ate at three, I ' m hungry again. 6:00 p.m. Line up for the bath tub- -first come, first served. Crutch came looking for some evening gloves — I hope she finds some to match her pink dress. 7:00 p.m. Where ' s my pan- cake? and Somebody please sew me into my evening dress! can be heard throughout any suite at this time. The florist has delivered his lovely boxes, and many a Suzie is very busy admir- ing them — those lovely gardenias, orchids, and roses. Let ' s go down to the dance, you all. 8:00 p.m. The boys are wait- ing in the hall for their dates. I met mine and down we went to dance in the dining room — it was worth all the scotch tape I cut — it looked wonderful. Pinky looked so good tonight. Mary and Jane standing there with her did too. I thought every- one looked ravishing especially after seeing them in their blue jeans this afternoon at the Hut. The last strains of Good Night, Ladies let us know that it was all over. After bidding our dates goodnight, Betsy and I were joined by Betty. We walked the rest of the way to our rooms de- bating who was the best dancer: Dub, Johnny or Larry — no de- cision reached! Page 72 Sunday 8:00 a.m. Breakfast with all the pancakes we can eat. 10:15 a.m. Roll call for church, and into the buses we go. Every- one looks lovely in her Sunday best, especially with last night ' s corsages. 12:30 p.m. We are back from church waiting for lunch and reading our mail. Betsy and Candy — the ones at the other end of the hall, not ours — come in to await the chicken and stuffing with us. 2:00 p.m. The radio is playing low and music is drifting as we get ready for our afternoon ac- tivities. The dates are arriving, girls are collecting cameras. Jo and Jerre looked darling as they passed by with their dates. All year long there has been a rage for cutting bangs, and sure enough two more gals joined the Will-It-Grow-Out-By-Spring Club this week-end. 5:30 p.m. This time, while wait- waiting for the fruit salad to get to my side of the table, finds me as usual listening to talk about the lovely horseback ride that Sally had during the afternoon. 6:10 p.m. It was a mad dash to change clothes and get to Ves- pers on time. Betty Sue wore that hat I have been admiring all year. It was hard to keep my mind on singing the hymn and not turning to look at it. 7:00 p.m. Date time is here again. Artie looked so nice as we went down to meet our dates. A group of girls from fourth floor were waiting for George and the station wagon. I saw Donna, Con- nie P. and Pat among them . . . bet they ' re bound for Trayer ' s for hamburgers and french fries. 10:00 p.m. We found out that it was time for our dates to leave, so bidding mine goodnight I wandered back to the room to find that everyone had been to town and was now eating again — that is, all but Martha. She wandered in from the symphony room with her music. We spent a half hour deciding what show to see on Monday- Van Johnson at the Paramount won just as Mrs. Jones came in to bid us goodnight. She asked when you ' d be back — we told her not ' til Tuesday morning- -hope you make your plane. Monday 7:00 a.m. Bell rang. 10:00 a.m. This bell finally had some results and we dressed in jeans and dashed to the Hut to stand in line for the buns and cof- fee that Hester and Maggie serve from 9 ' til 12. After reading our mail and listening to the juke, we decided it was time to dress for town. 12:00 p.m. We were at Trayer ' s. Over in the corner I saw Nancy, Pep, and Danny devouring large plates of spaghetti. We decided on shrimp — they were so good. Mac and Kathy came in just as we left to go to the movie. 4:00 p.m. It was a wonderful show — the popcorn was good, too. After a coke, we window- shopped and shared a cab with Bliss and Stinky. They were com- pletely weighed down with gro- ceries. They must have been shopping for all of fourth. 6:00 p.m. I didn ' t feel hungry, but I ate as usual. Eddie and Jo told us about the movie at the Cameo — we have to see it Wednesday. 6:30 p.m. Get out the cards, drag two chairs up to the bed, deal them out . . . By . . . One club . . . Two diamonds . . . Pass. It is easy to see that at least four Sullins Suzies are absorbed in one of our most enjoyable pas- times, a good game of bridge. Mrs. Jones comes in just in time to see us dealing an extra hand after the study bell has rung. With regret I leave the big room to wander into my own room and bid M. J. a fond farewell on her long journey down to symphony practice. 7:30 p.m. Study hall again and time to do my Chemistry and finish that Spanish story. It has been a glorious week- end. Everything has been per- fectly wonderful. The dance was one of the very best of the year! We have missed you this week- end, dear suitemate — but we ' re putting our history on your desk so you can be a part of what we have done. ' Til tomorrow!

Milbrandt, and our editor-in-chief, Martha Henderson, called the first meeting of the newly appointed Sampler staff the last of September. We met every Tuesday after- noon after the first meeting, and gradually the Sampler took shape, each of the fourteen staff mem- bers doing her part. Beulah Wood, business manager, started the col- lection of dues and financing of the book. Also in the business field, Mary Lee Bartlett and Betty Jane Winzeler visited the many business establishments in town performing their duties as advertising managers. Alice Lilley, feature editor, Edwina Redding, or- ganizations editor, and Sally Shreve, college life editor, began their work with a careful study of the year ' s activities. Winona McCord, day student ed- itor, informed the staff of all the activities of the day students throughout the year. Peggy Estes, athletics editor, kept up with all the sports and tournaments of the year in order to do her part toward the annual. Shirley Smith, faculty editor, and Alice Ham- mond, class editor, were kept busy investigating the personalities of the senior class and the faculty. Mattie Jane Fariss, photograph editor, added her Above: Beulah and Martha busy making plans for the Sampler. part by making sure that every girl had her picture taken. Our art editors, Terry Corrodi and Betty Sue Parker, submitted drawings for our approval and later worked with Martha and Miss Milbrandt in laying out the book. We took a slight pause from our duties the last of October in order to give the annual dance.

The Student Council is a legis- lative body composed of students who are elected by the members of their classes and who must maintain academic qualifications. Their purpose is to promote the closest sympathetic cooperation between student and faculty in all phases of school life. The council meets weekly in or- der to work out problems that have risen in the school and to try girls who have broken rules. They also perform various duties around the school to make the school year roll by more smoothly. Once a month the faculty execu- tive committee meets with the council. This committee is com- posed of Dr. and Mrs. Martin, Mr. William T. Martin, Dean D. L. Metts, Miss Ruth V. Milbrandt, Miss Bess Ava Guthrie, Miss Jane Gregg, Miss Winnetta Thomas, and Miss Myra Stowe. Marilyn Curdes is president of the Council; Peggy Bryson, vice- P. Bryson, M. Curdes, W. Skillcorn. These girls head the Council. president; and Willadean Skill- corn, secretary. Senior representatives on the council are Martha Jane Raley, Peggy Bryson, Jerre Baucum, Betty Anderson, and Marilyn Curdes. Junior representatives are Bar- bara Bultman, Lois Lodge, Nancy Blunt, and Willadean Skillcorn. Academy representatives are Jean Covington, Mary Jane Angel, and Dottie Edmondson. Betty Wiley is day-student represent- ative. In addition to these girls the class presidents — Elizabeth Tull, Senior; Barbara Jean Cason, presi- dent of the Junior class first sem- ester, and Betty Poag, president of the Junior class second semester; and Martha Lou Ware, Academy — attend the meetings. The Spring Prom is another re- sponsibility of the Council. This is the most important dance of the year to the Seniors, because it is the last dance they will ever at- tend at Sullins. The members of the Senior Foods Class of the Home Eco- nomics Department were host- esses to the members of the coun- cil and of the faculty executive committee at a buffet dinner. Every member of the council will testify that the dinner was perfect. These girls who make up the council are girls whom we all can admire. We feel sure that they have done their part towards mak- ing this year one that we shall always remember. Page 81 The Vested Choir Front Row: B. Kerr, M. Little, S. Smith, A. Davenport, K. Bailey, H.

The quiet unaffected dignity and simplicity of our Vested Choir always will be an inspirational memory of our Sullins life. The soft, distant melodies of the choir first still and then quiet our fevered, rest- less thoughts. With the rising crescendo of voices and the ap- pearance of the girls in their simple robes, our hearts bend in supplication and await eagerly some word of consolation, encouragement, and instruction. I Shall Not Pass Again This Way, the lovely Ave Maria of Schubert, I Waited for the Lord, — all echo again and again in our minds. These memories of song could never be without the superlative accompaniments of Professor Clifford C. Loomis and the very personal direction of the voices by Mr. Raymond Kreiner. A large portion of our homesickness during Easter vacation disappeared when we heard the choir sing The Easter Processional, the very effec- tive Were You There When They Crucified My Lord? and As It Began to Dawn. The choir often appears in concerts in the churches of Bristol. In May, for instance, the choir sang before the Baracca Class in State Street Church and before the adult Sunday School class at the First Presbyterian Church. The inspiring music for the baccalaureate and graduation services will be provided by this group of girls. The Seniors will always remember the choir singing The Green Cathedral (Hahn) at their graduation in the beautiful amphitheatre. The girls in this group are a selected few chosen by Mr. Kreiner. He keeps in mind the combination of voices needed for a religious choir of this type. The music of the choir does much to further the spiritual atmosphere of our Vesper services. We feel that, after The Lord Bless You and Keep You is heard, we are indeed to be watched over and cared for through another week. The girls composing this group are Shirley Smith, Anne Davenport, Henrietta Swain, Mrs. Lyle Smith, Miss Kathrine Bailey, Mary Little, Aleece Hampton, Elise Cook, Betty Jane Welch, Fairfax Mason, Colvin McWhirter, Monta Jo Glass, Melba Sykes, Nancy Bell, Betty Aertker, and Elizabeth Kerr. Page 82 The Glee Club This year the Sullins Glee Club has the largest membership in the college history. Sixty-five girls are members of this club, under the direction of Professor Raymond F. Kreiner. The Glee Club made its first appearance in a program before the Kentucky-Tennessee district con- vention of the Kiwanis Club. Then, just before Christmas, the club presented a lovely candlelight service in the Chapel. Martha Henderson opened the program with an organ selection, A Bohemian Christmas Cradle Song. Shirley Smith, Fairfax Mason, and Colvin McWhirter were the soloists of the concert. The Glee Club sang many of our favorite carols. Members of the Glee Club joined with the people of Bristol to present Handel ' s Messiah, which also added to our Christmas spirit. The Sullins group became an affiliate in the stu- dent division of the Virginia Federation of Music Clubs this fall. This affiliation means that the group has a closer contact with other Virginia college glee clubs. Mardi Gras came, and the Glee Club provided a beautiful background for the dancing and the Court. A joint concert was given in the spring by the Sullins group and the Bristol Men ' s choral group. Shirley Smith was named president in an elec- tion in October. Other club officers are Mary Little, secretary; Juanita Baker, treasurer; Elise Cook and Etta Mae Baxley, librarians; Barbara St. Clair, re- porter. The Glee Club was asked to sing for Dr. Martin ' s Baracca Class this winter. They also presented an assembly program at Virginia High School in the autumn. In the spring, as the lovely May Queen and her Court walked toward the amphitheatre stage, the voices of these girls, who have done much to add to the beauty cf our year at Sullins, were heard singing softly.

The new members will never forget the initiations at the Hut, and how afraid they were when they thought they had been branded, nor how they laughed when they discovered that the branding iron was a piece of ice. Before the initiation in Novem- ber, the old members had a get- together at the Hut of all the com- Tnercial students to let them know the qualifications needed to be- come a member.

All the scenery was the work of the art students, who make up the Paint and Palette Club. They worked both day and night preparing for the big event, but there were pleasures for them also. One Friday night they took time out to enjoy refreshments and have a small party. One of the most inspiring events of the year for the club members was the trip to the beautiful Bilt- more Estate in Asheville, North Carolina, in the spring. Ann Adams, president, Mary Kinney, vice-president, Miriam Hoyt, secretary, and Betty Hum- phreys, treasurer, were the club ' s capable officers for this year. Mrs. Nona Bunn Hodge and Miss Dorothy Ball, the sponsors, have furthered the girls ' interest in the field of art as well as helped the officers to make the club one of the outstanding organizations on the campus.

In December this club spon- sored the annual Christmas party for the underprivileged children of Bristol. The expressions on the children ' s faces will always be one of the most outstanding mem- ories of our college year. In February, the club gave a childhood ambition party at the Hut. All the girls came dressed as their own secret childhood ambi- tion, which included, among oth- ers, Superwoman, aviators, cow- boys, and pirates. Elizabeth Tull, dressed as a football player, won the prize, an angel-food cake, for For the Home Economics Club party, we dress to represent our childhood ambitions. the most realistic costume.

The first dramatic production this year was Ben Hecht ' s A Tribute to Gallantry. This play was given by the largest cast ever assembled upon the Sullins stage. The most outstanding work the organization has done this year is the establishment of a Children ' s Repertory Theater, which has pre- sented plays at many of the grade schools in the community. Sullins is the only college in the country to have such a theater. The Chil- dren ' s Repertory Theater has gained national recognition.

The Radio Workshop at this time broadcasts over WCYB, a 1,000 watt clear channel station. They present such programs as roundtable discussions of the American Theater and interna- tional affairs, dramatizations of The Revolt of Mother, Feather- top, and other American short stories, and musical programs by faculty members, students and musical organizations. On Valentine ' s Day, Marshall Ann Fleming called an important meeting of the Workshop at the Hut. When the members arrived, they were all pleasantly surprised to find a party waiting for them. In addition to regular programs, students participate in the School of the Air program presented Monday, Wednesday, and Friday afternoon at 1:45 o ' clock. In the School of the Air, the programs have been based upon the Appalachian area in the fields of Science, Social Sciences, and the Humanities.

Much new equipment has been added this year, including two turntables with three pickups and a console table. While the girls belonging to the Workshop are required to do a lot of work, they also enjoy several social functions. In November the Workshop held its annual dinner at the Hotel Bristol, following a tour of radio station WCYB. Later in the year they made a tour of the FM station on Whitetop Moun- tain.

The Texas Club also gave a cowboy party at the Hut, where the girls from other states learned what Texans mean by a good time. The Alabama Club started the year off with a slumber party at Camp Sequoya, where all the girls from Alabama became ac- quainted with one another. Later in the year, the members had a treasure hunt. Everyone ran all over the campus hunting for the treasure, which was found by Donna Kramer. Oklahoma girls are known for their frequent dinners and picture- show parties.

Page 93 The Villagers ' Club The Villagers ' Club is com- posed of girls from Bristol and the surrounding territory. These girls gather, talk, and study in the day students ' room on the first floor of Martin Hall. Every Wednesday they meet at the Hut at noon and lunch to- gether. Here they discuss their club ' s future activities. When the Villagers elected officers in Sep- tember, they decided that no one could make a better president than Betty Wiley. Then a land- slide of votes for Winona McCord and Mary Ann Godsey made them vice-president and secretary respectively. In the position of treasurer, Dorothy Bullock has charge of the finances. Senior and Junior representatives are Daphne Gibson and Margaret Pyle. In the fall the annual tea for the boarding students and the fac- ulty was held at the lovely home of the president, Betty Wiley. The beautiful decorations were due to the work done by Lillian Hen- dricks, Margaret Pyle, Betsy Nin- inger, and Mildred Vance. The food committee was com- posed of Martha Jean Boswell, Lucretia Vance, Mildred Vance, and Daphne Gibson. In the receiving line that wel- comed the guests were Daphne Gibson, Miss Catherine Nichol- son, sponsor of the club, Betty Wiley, Winona McCord, Mary Ann Godsey, Margaret Pyle, Mrs. W. E.

On a Saturday in February, the college dining room was trans- formed by the day students into Magnolia Manor, where the Sul- lins girls danced to the music of Ace Lane and his orchestra. Masks were worn by the dancers and the walls of the dining room were decorated with silhouettes of dancers. The grand climax of the dance came when the dancers unmasked as the orchestra played Who. The girls ended their year at Sullins with a banquet at the Ho- tel Shelby, where the new officers for the next year were announced. Page 94 The Hoofprints Club Left to Right: H. Stephenson, S.

The club has been active since the day we reg- istered to take riding. A Sullins tradition is Dr. Mar- tin ' s Sunday afternoon rides over the beautiful trails near the campus. Every pleasant Sunday afternoon we may see the riders leaving the campus with Dr. Mar- tin in the lead. In September the riding stu- dents, accompanied by Dr. Mar- tin, rode to the picnic grounds at Steele ' s Creek, where they were served a picnic supper. The first meeting of the club was held with Betty Noland pre- siding as president. Other officers are Ann Adams, vice-president; Shirley Robinson, secretary; Helen Stephenson, treasurer; Mar- tha Dan Payne, social chairman; and Beverly Hill, publicity chair- man. In November the beginners ' The officers stop by horse show was held. Students placing first and competing for the first prize were: Dee Laing, Annele Richardson, Betty King, Betty Jane Welch, Beverly McCracken, Suz- anne Allen, and Judy Wood. Dee Laing won first place. Mrs. Paul Weston was the judge, and Miss Jennie Lou Crockett served as ring master. In February, the main event was the tea given in honor of Dr. Martin ' s birthday at the club- house. The biggest event of the year was the Commencement Horse Show on that last Saturday after- noon. This show was open only to Sullins students. It included equi- tation classes, and exhibitions of the show horses. Ribbons and cups were awarded to the winners in the various groups. The club is sponsored by Misses Jennie Lou Crockett and Barbara Bartholdi. Betty presents Dr. Martin with a birthday cake. Page 95 The Athletic Association Miss Caroline Liles The Athletic Association, active for four years, has been revised in many ways this year. Up to this year, membership has been open only to girls active in sports. It is now an organization of the entire student body, made up of active and inactive members. Active members achieve merit by working for the required num- ber of points to receive a Sullins shield or letter at the end of the year. So as to make it a higher honor to receive either of these rewards, the required number of points has been increased. The candidate for a shield must now have 150 points, and for a letter 300 points. Points are obtained by partici- pating in after-school sports, tour- naments, horse shows, and Sun- day rides, and by dancing in Mardi Gras and May Day. Even the inactive members of the Association benefit by the va- rious activities of the organization during the year. At the beginning of the school year, there is a pic- nic at Lake Sycamore. Many of the girls may be seen swimming in the lake, riding horseback, or playing a lively game of softball before the picnic supper. During the year there is always the excitement of tournaments, such as soccer, hockey or basket- ball, whether one is playing, watching, or cheering for her spe- cial side. There is also a crowd of girls at the frequent horse shows. The sponsors of the Athletic As- sociation are Miss Myra Stowe and Miss Caroline Liles. With their enthusiastic help, the offi- Getting our fall varsity medals at a pep rally. cers and board members plan and carry out the activities throughout the year. The officers of the organization are Jeanne Boe, president; Peggy Estes, vice-president; Judy Wood, treasurer; Martha Ware, secre- tary; and Bonnie Kilbourne, social chairman. The board members, each rep- resenting a sport, are Jean Rey- nolds, chairman of hockey; Lou Tull, soccer; Ibis Tull, basketball; Marcia Gray, volleyball; Henri- etta Swain, tennis; Helen Civil, swimming; Miriam Isenhour, soft- ball; Kitty Kane, badminton; Bev- erly Hill, riding; and Deirdre Laing, dancing. In the fall, the Association gave a party at the Hut, with Truth and Consequences as its theme. The new girls were given an idea of the activities of the A. A. and everyone had a good time getting to know one another better. In March, the Association spon- sored a hay ride for all its mem- Page 96 A Sport tor Every Girl Juanita Baker, the new presi- dent, and Jean Reynolds, the new vice-president, took the oath of office. Vice-president Peggy Estes awarded Sullins shields to Ann Adams, Pat Dailey, Juanita Baker, Dorothy Cowden, Suzanne Faris, Monta Jo Glass, Sarah Moss, Marilyn Hall, Rosemary Hoffman, Mildred Huie, Miriam Isenhour, Deirdre Laing, Martha Dan Payne, Marilyn Phillips, Betty Poag, Char- line Powell, Newell Rider, Betty Starling, Judy Wood. Sullins letters were awarded to Helen Civil, Jeanne Boe, Peggy Estes, Marcia Gray, Martha Lou Ware. Other plans are being made for a Field Day for Virginia Intermont College and Sullins in the late spring. The swimming pool will be open, and there will be a num- ber of contests and tournaments on the Hockey Field. We are all looking forward to this event, as we have never had a Field Day with the V. I. girls as guests. Jeanne Boe, president, opened the banquet with a welcoming ad- Front Row (left to right): E. Tull, J. Reynolds, D. Laing. Second Row: K. Kane, M. Gray, H. Swain , Back Row: L.

The officers plan the various activities of the A. A. bers. There was a picnic supper, with bonfires and singing, as on all of our hay rides. dress and a summary of the year ' s events. Page 97 Soccer Kick it in, Ibis! There is a group of girls down on the hockey field almost every day in the fall getting up a team to play either soccer or hockey. Most of the players have two regular classes a week in one of these sports. After school hours, a crowd of girls can be seen running down to the field to practice and improve their playing ability and team- work so as to prepare themselves for the tournaments later on. This year in soccer, there were two main teams instead of three. The Juniors competed against a combination team of Seniors and Academy girls. To be eligible for a class team, players were re- quired to attend at least four after- school practices. The players on the Junior team were Marilyn Phillips, Virginia Beeland, Mary Little, Mary Louise Jones, Rosemary Hoffman, Mil- dred Huie, Weezee Baker, Newell Rider, Kitty Champion, Dot Cow- den, and Monta Jo Glass. Substi- tutes were Fairfax Mason and Sue Sellars. The players on the Senior- Academy team were Ibis Tull, Martha Ann Bickler, Lou Tull, Harriet Crutchfield, Marcia Gray, Henrietta Swain, Sara Moss, Eleanor Huie, Helen Civil, Peggy Estes, and Martha Ware. Substi- tutes were Jeanne Boe and Ann Adams. The two opposing teams had a hard struggle for the goals this year as their playing ability was well matched. After the regular number of tournament games had been played, the score was left a tie between the two teams. The Varsity team was selected from the players on the class teams by the Senior-Academy captain, Peggy Estes, and the Junior captain, Marilyn Phillips. The girls on the varsity team were chosen for their teamwork, sports- manship, and p laying ability. At an Athletic Association meeting in March, soccer varsity medals were awarded to Ibis Tull, Lou Tull, Mary Little, Newell Rider, Marilyn Phillips, Virginia Bee- land, forwards; Henrietta Swain, Sara Moss, Weezee Baker, half- backs; Kitty Champion, Peggy Estes, fullbacks; Monta Jo Glass, goalie. A mad struggle for the ball. Page 98 Hockey Hockey is another of our fa- vorite fall sports. From about fifty girls who participated in the hockey classes, twenty-four were eligible for class teams. The two opposing teams in the tournaments were the Juniors, and a combination team of Seniors and Academy girls. To be eligible to play on a class team, players were required to participate in at least four of the after-school practices. Captain of the Senior-Academy team was Ibis Tull. The players were Jerre Baucum, Marcia Gray, Ibis Tull, Harriet Crutchfield, Lou Tull, Sara Moss, Henrietta Swain, Helen Civil, Sena Henriquez, Peggy Estes, and Adele Woodall. Mary Lou Miller was captain of the Junior team; the other players were Mildred Huie, Millicent Mer- ker, Marilyn Phillips, Monta Jo Glass, Weezee Baker, June Camp- bell, Judy Wood, Virginia Bee- land, Jean Reynolds, and Dot Cowden. After two fast and furious games, the Juniors were ac- claimed the year ' s winning team in hockey. The Varsity team chosen by the two captains for outstanding play- ing ability played two games with Virginia Intermont College. The two schools were so well matched that the scores were tied. Varsity players were Jerre Bau- cum, Ibis Tull, Mary Lou Miller, Peggy Estes, Marilyn Phillips, Lou Tull, Sara Moss, Henrietta Swain, Judy Wood, June Campbell, Jean Reynolds, and Dot Cowden. At a pep rally held in Chapel in March, Jean Reynolds, the hockey representative on the ath- letic board, awarded medals to the Varsity players. Page 99 Swimming and Life-Saving In the fall, winter, or spring, girls may be seen in bathing suits, caps, and towels, headed for the lake or the pool. Lake Sycamore is a popular place in the early fall and again in the late spring. Girls who have completed their life- saving course carefully guard the swimmers at the lake. Every Sun- day night, even in the coldest of winter weather, the indoor swim- ming pool is filled with girls. Swimming is essential in the college life of every Sullins stu- dent. Every girl is required to take swimming one semester, or to pass the basic swimming test, which includes the front crawl, side stroke, breast stroke, and back stroke. Miss Stowe and Miss Liles are instructors of the begin- ning, intermediate, and advanced groups. Classes are held through- out the year. Life-saving classes are offered twice a week during the second semester. The girls study water safety and standard Red Cross methods for rescuing victims, in- cluding approaches, carries, and forms of resuscitation. At the end of the semester, standard Red Cross certificates in life-saving are awarded. In the spring, there will be a swimming meet between the Academy, Juniors, and Seniors. Helen Civil is in charge of plan- ning the meet. Girls who have so far attended practices are Helen Civil, Mary Kinney, Peggy Estes, Henrietta Swain, Betty Wiley, Ibis Tull, Peggy Townsend, Hel- ena Smith, Louise Tull, Norma Lee Kerr, Judith Johnson, Monta Jo Glass, Caroline Crowther, Bar- bara Hulme, Weezee Baker, Mil- dred Huie, Betty Aertker, Virginia Blake, Barbara Jean Cason, and Marilyn Hall. There will be con- tests in form including the crawl, side stroke, breast stroke, and back stroke; races in the crawl and back stroke, and comic re- lays, including one in which each swimmer must carry a lighted candle across the pool. That ' s the way! We ' re doing it! A try at water figures. On your mark. Get set. Go! Page 100 Basketball Basketball is a sport hailed by the Sullins girl with more enthu- siasm and class spirit than any other sport. Whether she is play- ing on the team or cheering her loudest from her class section, she can hardly wait for the tourna- ments to begin. On these exciting occasions, the gym is always packed with Senior, Junior, and Academy girls, faculty members, and hostesses. Leading a number of new and clever cheers will be the class cheerleaders: Seniors — Marilyn Curdes, Donna Kramer, Ella Hunn Payne, Shirley Smith; Juniors — Sue Sellars, Pat Sproles, Rita Shaw, Mimi Hoyt; Academy — Ann Flowers, Lynn Dunlap, Mari- lyn Markle, Jo Ellen Sarratt. Each girl must attend at least 7 out of 10 practices to be eligible for the class teams. About 70 girls have participated in the general and individual class practices, which began on March 15. Ibis Tull, A. A. basketball chairman, was in charge of organizing and keeping records of the practices. The players who attended the required number of practices voted for their class team, their captain, and their manager. Miriam Isenhour and Jean Bis- plinghoff are co-managers of the Senior class team. Mary Ewell is captain. Members of the first team are E. Tull, H. Swain, M. E. Ewell, I. Roberts, H. Civil, M. Kinney, B. Noland, B. Haynes, M. Gray, and P. Estes. The subs are L. King, S. Moss, S. Robinson, N. Magnu- son, and H. Crutchfield. Marilyn Phillips is manager of the Junior class team. Becky Pritchard is captain. Members of the first team are R. Pritchard, E. Wilsford, J. Wood, S. Sellers, D. Moody, B. Hill, N. Rider, S.

Cov- ington, P. Townsend. Subs are B. Morris, A. Woodall, S. Levene. The tournament will begin near the end of March. Each team will play three games against each of the other two classes. The winning team must have the highest score in two out of three games. At the end of the tournament, the school Varsity team will be chosen. The girls who are selected will be awarded basketball medals. Those considered likely to win the varsity medals are Rebecca Right to you, Lou! Pritchard, Elsie Wilsford, Henrietta Swain, Mary Edith Ewell, Norma Jean Crews, Mary Kinney, Betty Noland, and Barbara Haynes. Page 101 Ballet Starling will receive dance certifi- cates at the May Festival. Every Sullins Suzy will remem- ber the Mardi Gras long after she has left Sullins. Everyone works together on this production, whether backstage, on stage, be- fore the opening night, or after the performance. However, the ballet department is the very center of its produc- tion. All the parts are taken by ballet dancers, many of whom have never before had an oppor- tunity to perform on a stage be- fore an audience. Miss Hardinge, the ballet in- structor, has supervised the Mardi Gras for a number of years. This year she composed the dances, selected the music, and planned the costumes. All this added up to a beautiful performance in March called The Tales of Vienna. The theme dealt with the flirta- tions between a corps of cadets from a military academy and a group of girls from a nearby boarding school. Deirdre Laing and Jeanne Boe had the leads as the two lovers. Comedy was sup- plied by Barbara Cason and Rose- mary Hoffman as the stiff-legged general and the flirtatious head mistress. The ballet department has al- ways arranged a program for the May Festival during Senior Week. This year, instead of a large cast of dancers and a varied theme, special girls from the advanced ballet class will present a theme of classical ballet. Miss Constance Hardinge is di- rector of dancing, Mrs. Helen Coo- per is accompanist, and Deirdre Laing is the ballet representative on the A. A. board. A lesson in ballet technique. Almost any afternoon a large group of girls dressed in colorful tunics can be found in the gym mastering the art of ballet, which is a favorite course for many a Sullins girl. Through this form of dancing, she develops poise, agility, and grace. Seniors majoring in ballet are required to take a complete course in dance history and assist in classes. Jeanne Boe and Betty Practicing for those graceful dances in Mardi Gras. Page 102 Softball and Tennis LeRuth returns the ball with a fast backhand. Give them one of your hard serves, Stinki! The tennis court is one of the most popular places on the campus in the fall and again in the spring. During tennis classes, the courts are crowded with be- ginners and advanced players — - all learning how to play the game a little bit better. Miss Liles and Miss Stowe, the instructors, may be seen illustrat- ing a perfect serve and backhand and forehand strokes, or even playing a fast game with some of the advanced players. The fall tournament of singles was played in November. Every one was eligible to play. Those taking part in the tournament were Miriam Isenhour, Le Ruth Jones, Betty Poag, Marjorie Watts, Ibis Tull, Barbara Cason. Henrietta Swain, Louise Tull, Cha rline Powell, Suzanne Levene, Mary Ruth McDonald, Mary Lou Griffith, Caroline Lamonte, Peg Bryson, Helen Civil, Betty Dittman, Monta Jo Glass, June Chu, Sara Moss, Peggy Estes, Marilyn Phil- lips, Ruthe Keimig, Marcia Gray, and Lou King. The last game of the tourna- ment was an exciting one. Girls leaned out of the windows around the courts watching to see whether the winner would be Marilyn Phillips or Henrietta Swain. After winning two out of three sets, Marilyn was hailed as the fall tennis champion. Both girls received varsity med- als for their excellent playing. Henrietta Swain, the tennis rep- resentative on the A. A. board, is planning a doubles tournament in the spring. Softball is a sport loved by every girl. That is why you will always see a group of girls play- ing at every picnic. Because of a delay in the bas- ketball tournament, the softball season will be exceptionally short this year. However, Miriam Isen- hour, in charge of this sport, has planned a series of games for the last weeks of school. Page 103 Singles in badminton. Keep your eyes on the birdie! ' Badminton and Volleyball Pass it to me, Jean! A fast game of volleyball. To see a fast game with plenty of action and tricky shots, you should visit one of the badminton classes held twice a week. This is one of the most interesting games to watch as well as to play. There will be no tournament in badminton this year as the other sports have filled up all the time with their scheduled tournaments. Two girls in the class have al- ready had experience in playing in tournaments. Jane Clabaugh and Dot Lander are both excellent players and have won titles in Dallas, Texas. Together they won the City Women ' s Doubles in Dallas. Dot holds the City Wom- en ' s Singles championship. Kitty Kane is the badminton rep- resentative on the A. A. board. Volleyball has proved to be quite a popular sport, this yeai. There are about 120 girls taking it. Marcia Gray, chairman of vol- leyball, planned a tournament out on the tennis courts for the first of March. Because of bad weather conditions, the tournament had to be cancelled. However, practices were held four afternoons a week. Those who signed up to play were Ibis Tull, Lou Tull, Marilyn Phillips, Genevieve McMenamy, Jen Anne McClain, Monta Jo Glass, Normalee Kerr, Dot Cow- den, Kitty Champion. Mildred Huie, Weezee Baker, Billie Cline, Eleanor Huie, Diane Moody, Rosemary Hoffman, Jackie Miesse, Harriet Crutchfield, Patsy Gulledge, Nancy Wahoff, Nyla Jordan, Nancy Belser, Mary Little, Jerre Baucum, Martha Ann Bickler. Fairfax Mason, Mary Lou Miller, Charline Powell, Terry Corrodi, Ann Adams, June Chu, Virginia Beeland, Sally Lockerbie, Sara Moss, Henrietta Swain, Marcia Gray, Jeanne Boe, June Campbell, Barbara Hill, Lori Hoffman. Page 104 Riding Horseback riding is one of the main features at Sullins. Instruc- tion is offered for beginning, in- termediate, and advanced riders. Every day girls may be seen rid- ing in the ring or lined up for a ride on the trails. Miss Jennie Lou Crockett, the riding instructor, is assisted by Miss Barbara Bartholdi. Student assistants — Beverly Hill, Betty Noland, and Shirley Robinson — help conduct the classes. Beverly Hill is riding representative on the A. A. Board. A course in equitation is also otte red. Upon completion of this two-semester course, the student is awarded a certificate in equita- tion. In the tall, a beginners ' horse show was held. Dee Laing won first place. At the end of the year, there will be another horse show, in which all riders will be entered. Ribbons and trophies will be awarded in beginning, intermedi- ate, and advanced classes. To the girl who wins first place in the advanced class, the Pope Below (left): Bonnie and a colt; (right): Beginners learn first to ride in the ring. trophy will be awarded. At Com- mencement, a cup will be award- ed to the beginner making most progress during the year. In the spring a gymkhana will be put on by the advanced equi- tation class. Points will be given for first, second, and third place in each event. At the end of the show, the class with the highest number of points will have its name engraved on a cup.

The Academy officers planned an interesting year. Marking off the last day of a never-to-be-forgotten school year, we giggle as we compare the sit- uation now with what it was the first day in the f all. Oh, that first day! The squeals and hellos of the old girls were heard on every floor, while the en- vious newcomers stood watching with mournful and homesick faces. In a few days the excite- ment subsided; roommate and room decoration problems faced nearly everyone. Ah, Mouse Night ! The fright- ened mice, after memorizing a set of demanding rules, appeared in a style show modeling flattering blue tank suits. Several days previous to the cli- max, mice were found leafing through the Sampler in an attempt to match names and faces with the pictures of the old girls. This seemed to be the only means of learning those perplexing facts. The new girls were perfect mice and accepted the tradition will- ingly. Everyone was settled and home- sickness forgotten; the time for the election of officers rolled around. Martha Lou Ware, president; Jeannie Fogarty, vice-president; Louise Tull, secretary; Sally Cody, treasurer; Marilyn Markle, social chairman; and Mary Jane Angel, Jean Covington, and Dottie Ed- mondson, Student Council mem- bers, stepped into their new posi- tions proudly. These girls, along with Miss Gregg, our sponsor, and the rest of the group, upheld the high standards of the Academy. The Academy banquet, held at the General Shelby Hotel on De- cember 5, was one of the high- lights preceding the Christmas holidays. Snowmen holding sparkling letters, M - E - R - R - Y C-H-R-I-S-T-M-A-S, adorned the wall behind the head table. Miniature snowmen were attractively arranged as place cards. Between courses entertainment was provided by Rosemary Bray and Nancy Bell, who sang Silent Night and O Holy Night re- spectively. The honored guests were Dr. and Mrs. Martin, Dean and Mrs. Metts, Miss Gregg, Miss Edith Sayre, Miss Angie Loyless, Miss Betsy Gilliam, Miss Virginia San- ford, Miss Humphrey, Miss Wil- Seated (left to right): S. Smith, M. L. Ware, S. Salisbury. Standing: J. Covington, L. Tull, J. Fogarty, E. Luttrell. Academy students edited the April issue of the Reflector. Page 110 kerson, Mrs. Wall, and Miss Ruth V. Milbrandt. Christmas vacation and dreaded exams over, we entered the sec- ond semester with new hope. Join- ing our family circle at this time were Lou Ella Lowe, Muskegon, Michigan; June Wurzel, Port Hu- ron, Michigan; and Boyce Wool- lard, Memphis, Tennessee. One afternoon in the middle of March all the halls of the Acad- emy wing buzzed with excitement and hustling. The girls were found sweeping and waxing floors, washing windows, hanging cur- tains, and rearranging furniture for the traditional open house. Soon plans for the long antici- pated Academy dance were un- derway. To carry out the gay nineties theme, the decorating committee adorned one wall of the gym with Ma and Pa in a large gilt frame. Drawings of A Girl in a Gilded Cage and A Bicycle Built for Two illustrated the popular songs of that period. The various com- mittees succeeded in sponsoring one of the best dances of the year. During the early days of April we were busy adding the final touches to the Academy issue of the Reflector. The staff- -Martha Ware, editor; Sally Salisbury, as- sistant editor; Ellen Luttrell, news editor; Jean Covington, feature ed- itor; Louise Tull, sports editor; Shirley Smith, art editor; and Jeannie Fogarty, proof and copy — together with Miss Loyless, ad- viser, successfully completed the edition. Before we knew it, May was upon us with the last-minute preparations for the senior lunch- eon. The underclassmen paid trib- ute to the graduating class at this time. At the last Academy meeting, held at the Hut, Martha Lou pre- sented farewell gifts to Miss Gregg, class sponsor, and to Mrs. At Top: We all enjoyed the Academy banquet. Below: We had a good time play- ing in the snow. Wall and Miss Wilkerson, host- esses. Sad girls linked arms and sang the Alma Mater. The impressive candlelight ser- vice brought tears to everyone ' s eyes, for we realized that this would be our last time together as Sullins Academy girls. In the picturesque amphitheater the next day, the seniors, wearing long dresses and carrying red roses, received their diplomas from Dr. Martin. We, the class of 1947, sadly leave our classmates and Miss Gregg, whom we hold close in our hearts for her unselfish interest in the individual student and her un- tiring efforts in the promotion of our class government. — Jeannie Fogarty — Muriel Hines Page 111 KENAN CASTEEN Senior Leaksville, North Carolina JEAN COVINGTON Senior Magnolia, Mississippi FRANCES DABNEY Senior Richmond, Virginia CAROL JEAN DAILEY Senior Fort Wayne, Indiana MARTHA DALRYMPLE Senior Amory, Mississippi SUSANNA DEMAREST Senior Great Neck, Long Island, New York MARY JANE ANGEL Senior Haines City, Florida RUTH HELEN APPLEBAUM Senior Shelbyville, Kentucky NANCY BELL Senior Decatur, Indiana GRACE BARLOW BRADING Senior Johnson City, Tennessee Page 112 ALEYDA DeSOTO Senior Miami, Florida DOTTIE EDMONDSON Senior Charlotte, North Carolina LUCILLE CLIFFORD EDRIS Senior Manhasset, New York JEAN TERRY FISHER Senior Memphis, Tennessee BARBARA JEAN FOGARTY Senior Binghamton, New York MARY LOIS GRAYSON Senior Birmingham, Alabama JOYCE LOUISE HARRIS Senior Tucson, Arizona MURIEL HADLEY HINES Senior Kinston, North Carolina MARBEE HUGHES Senior Bartow, Florida SUZANNE MARY LEVENE Senior Binghamton, New York Page 113 ■ J BETTY REASOR Senior Elizabethton, Tennessee EUNICE MAY ROBERTSON Senior Washington, D.

We remember vividly that first Hut party, when we tried so des- perately to remember all those names (and to attach them to their owners). B. J. and Jerre really broke the ice that night, when they jitterbugged their way to the prize. And then there was Lake Day with a picnic supper and canoe- ing and riding. After that came the welcoming sermon at State Street Methodist Episcopal Church, when we all marched into the church in a body. On that first Sunday, too, we went down to Mrs. Martin ' s, where we met the teachers we hadn ' t already seen in their classrooms. We all remember those first days, and the things we did -weeping on each other ' s shoulders, burst- ing into Senior psychology when we meant to go into freshman English, and just being green freshmen — beg pardon, I mean Juniors. Then came that first dance. We were all talking about what to wear, when one of the old girls mentioned girl-break. ' ' We gasped in horror. Oh, we just couldn ' t do that! We don ' t really have to break on boys, do we? Well, we found that we could break on boys, and it really was fun to be able to choose our own partners for a change. With the help of our friend and sponsor, Miss Bess Ava Guthrie, we organized and elected our of- ficers: Barbara Jean Cason, presi- dent; Mary Echols, vice-president; Judy Wood, secretary; and Jane Lee Knaebel, treasurer. Then the Seniors, who had really been grand about helping us get started at Sullins, gleefully announced Rat Week. The halls echced with Don ' t turn your back on a Senior! Wipe that smile off your face! and I ' d like to be amused please, Miss! Left to Right: J. Knaebel, B. J. Cason, J. Wood, M. Echols. The first-semester officers planned the Junior-Senior Banquet. THE JUNIORS Winding slowly up the drive, our cab came to a stop before the college. We had finally arrived at Sullins on the Hill, the place we had been dreaming about for months. Going up the steps, which some- how seemed endless that first time, we entered the building, where we were greeted by Mrs. Cavett. After she had told us our room numbers, some of the Sen- The Juniors hang the stars for the Mardi Gras Ball. Page 120 Whatever nervous dread we had felt, however, was forgotten when the Seniors entertained us at the lovely Senior-Junior Recep- tion in October. We enjoyed that reception so much that we worked extra hard to make the Junior-Senior Banquet, held shortly before we went home Christmas, a great success. At the banquet , we unwrapped two Christmas gifts — and so an- nounced to the assembled guests that Virginia Beeland was to be our Mardi Gras Queen and Nancy Morris our King. We were all rather lazy after our Christmas holidays, but ex- ams loomed ahead, dark and fearful. Toward the end of Jan uary came the week of exams. Notes were borrowed, a steady stream of Coca-Cola was pro- vided by the Hut, and girls could be seen studying furiously in every nook and corner of the campus. Standing (left to right): J. Knaebel, B. Poag, P. Wampler. Seated: J. Wood, N. Rider. The second-semester officers pose during intermission, happy in the knowledge that they have made the Mardi Gras Ball a success. Morris as King, to say nothing of a court coomposed of a number of our most beautiful Juniors, the spectacle could hardly have failed to be a striking one. The Mardi Gras Ball, which was given on the night following the pageant, was also an occasion to be remembered happily. After Mardi Gras, time passed swiftly, bringing with it Junior Week in April and many ban- quets and other events in May. As graduation approached, we studied for exams and looked en- viously at the Seniors, who had finished theirs a week early. We had our special perform- ance, too, in the graduation exer- cises, when we carried the Daisy Chain on Sunday evening. Next September, we shall ex- perience more excitement than we did last fall, for we shall be re- turning to Sullins, to old friends, and to another glorious year of work and play. WE shall be the Seniors of 1947-48! To start off the new semester, the Junior Class held its second regular election of officers. This time Betty Poag was elected presi- dent, and Polly Wampler was elected vice-president. Judy Wood and Jane Knaebel were re-elected secretary and treasurer respect- ively. Early in March, the Junior Class sponsored its most important event of the year — the Mardi Gras pageant and ball. With Virginia Beeland as Queen and Nancy Left to Right: R. Shaw, S. Sellers, M.

Page 141 THE SENIORS That long awaited time has ar- rived. Graduation day is here! We have looked forward to this day for so long — with hope be- cause it meant the completion of our work here, and yet with dread because it also meant that we should be leaving one another, perhaps never to meet again. As we reach the end of our two years here, it is only natural that we look backward and recall our happy days at dear old Sullins. Rememb er that first day? We were all in the midst of confusion and excitement, searching for lost trunks, and lost roommates, and feeling very green and odd as the new Juniors. But after the lovely tea given by Mrs. Martin, and the terrors of Rat Week, we began to feel as if we were really a part of Sullins. Then we settled down to hard work, interspersed with dances and other fun. Left to Right: B. Noland, M. Gray, E. Tull, S. Faris, and S. Allen. The Senior Class officers pose for their picture. Before we knew it, December Senior banquet, and, finally, that was here, bringing the Junior- long-awaited Christmas vacation. Our Senior Sponsor, Miss Milbrandt, and our Senior Mother, Mrs. Jones, chat in Mrs. Jones ' room. January found us back at Sul- lins, talking about our vacation experiences and cramming for semester examinations. With these behind us, we all fell to work on Mardi Gras. And wasn ' t it won- derful? Helen Civil and Suzanne Allen made a very distinguished pair as our King and Queen. The idea of being a Senior seemed more inviting than ever, and we all became more deter- mined to come back. April also brought us the Spring Proms and the thrill of having a real name band play for us. Stan Kenton ' s music was thrilling, and a won- derful time was had by all! Finally came Daisy Chain and Commencement. How we envied the Seniors in their caps and gowns! Little did we realize that it would seem such a short time Page 142 Pat, Irish, Ibis, and Jerre prepare a Saturday night feast in the Senior kitchen. until we should be weari ng them ourselves. Fall rolled around, and we re- turned to Sullins, feeling our new importance as Seniors and seeing again the familiar buildings, with the added attraction of the new library in its early stages. The year started off with a bang. Remember Rat Week, when we tried so hard to be dignified and stern? We soon came to know the new Juniors, and we did our best to have them love Sullins as much as we did. The Senior Class was soon running smoothly under the com- petent leadership of Ibis Tull as president, Suzanne Faris as vice- president, Betty Noland as secre- tary, and Marcia Gray as treas- urer. We were also surprised and happy to have Mrs. Jones back as our hostess and to have Miss Milbrandt as our sponsor. We found a new group of Senior rooms, too — where the old library had been. Library Hall, in spite of its distance from Senior Hall, quickly became an important part of the Senior Class. The days passed quickly, and almost before we realized it, Christmas had come and gone, and we faced with dread semester exams. Second semester brought back to us Barbara Darragh and Betsy Gammill, our classmates of last year, to receive a warm welcome from us all. We all realized now, more than ever before, the re- sponsibility that came with being Seniors, and we did our best to live up to our name. As May approached, we clung more and more to our favorite customs here at Sullins — after- noons at the Hut, the inspiring organ recitals, those never-ending bridge games, and discussions after lights — all a part of the life that held us together so closely. We were proud of our class and of all that we had done — proud of the fact that we had worked as a class, standing together in the face of obstacles and difficulties. We realize now how the guid- ance of Dr. and Mrs. Martin and of all the faculty and the other members of the staff has given us a basis for living better and an inspiration to live fuller lives. As we prepare to leave our home of the last two years, we realize how much Sullins has meant to us. She has given us an intangible something that we can never lose, and we shall always be proud to be known as Sullins Girls. We graduate with pride and re- gret, but with the knowledge that Sullins will live on in her glory and that in our hearts we shall always treasure the memories of our days at Sullins on the Hill. -LaDeane Lawrence Page 143 ; Terry, Ibis, Ppjr and Anne are looking forward to the future, but they )• f will not forget their happy days at Sullins. « Page 144 K jf a t ricla i n 2 ) a i L e, f Wary £LaU ZUt Fort Wayne, Ind.
