fancg JEorrfe The Senior Class of Sullins College, Virginia Park, Bristol, Virginia, Presents The College Yearbook BRISTOL PUBLIC LIBRARY 701 Goode Street Bristol, Virginia 24201 DEDICATION In sincere appreciation of the time, effort, and talent which she wholeheartedly devotes to make Mardi Gras and the May Festival events of grace and beauty, we, the Sulims Seniors of 1947-48, dedicate this Sampler “The happiest years of our lives.” You know, thinking back, just kind of rambling through the days we’ve all had together, I’m just beginning to think our folks are right. Surely, though, they couldn’t know quite how wonderful our year at Sullins has been. I’ll never forget all the little things — like hearing the cheery “Good morning, everyone” from the Alarm Clock Club while I sleepily dressed to make it to breakfast. I never did hear that seven o’clock bell! We seniors had a rule about chapel— never to go until at least three minutes after the bell had rung. We had to go to classes for some reason. Mr. Ingram hasn’t talked about “When I was in France” this year— I wonder why. Miss Watkins still talks about her “chappies” though, and Miss Guthrie has us wondering about “the psychology of the thing.” In the morning the Post Office was very popular. Mrs. Zach did her best to fill our boxes — even if she had to put in a card saying, “A free drink of yonr own choice at King’s Department Store.” We drifted into the Hut either dreamily or angrily determined to drown our sorrows in cokes; and we left carrying bags of lolly-pops and bubble gum. “There’s a good show in town — let’s go.” “Well I shouldn’t, but okay.” We chewed our pop-corn, and afterwards stopped at Jack Trayer’s for a hamburger, or at Bassett’s for a malt, or the Snack Shack for an Orange Julius. No wonder supper didn’t taste quite as good as usual. Thursday night, though, we saved room for chicken— or sometimes we splurged and had dinner down-town. We’ll never forget that hour after dinner. We played bridge or told the merits of the north— or the south. You know, I think we’ve done a good job of getting rid of the Mason- Dixon Line. We listened to the Supper Club and got all tangled up in our knitting, or we wrote that important letter. Then, study hall. The library building was a per- fect place to study if we didn’t happen to have to wash our hair or clothes or something. I’ll never forget how Mrs. Jones al- ways seemed to catch Dot just as she ducked into our room to tell us something so important. Ten o’clock, and the lights would go out. I guess hot plates are a little hard on electricity, aren’t they? We had wonderful messes though, everything from tea to artichokes. We crossed our fingers for Dick Page 7 Cantino and shixered during the Molle Mystery I heater. It was a full day, but there was so much to talk about even yet. Those after-dark sessions were fun. We talked about everything from what’s to become of the world to what we’re going to wear home our next holiday — and, of course, the subject of him. But soon it was “G’nite, roommate. See you in the morning. The Year Begins Remember the first day? Let’s see, it was Septem- ber sixteenth. Sullins was in her glory that day. We sat on the edges of our seats as we started up the drive. The cab drivers were a little glum thinking of those millions of suitcases they were going to have to carry up the steps. But not us . . . “My word, look at the library building — have you ever seen anything so lovely? I can’t wait to see in- side. ” Then, all at once, rounding the last curve we saw her— “It’s good to be back. Some of the other seniors met us on the steps, and such squealing you’ve never heard! Then we were being pushed into the bustle, finding our rooms and waiting for roommates. We old girls felt like the big seniors we were and tried to tell the bewildered juniors everything we knew about everything. We tried to cover everything on the campus that first day — the old favorites first. The Hut — “Aren’t we proud of our new soda fountain? The juke is readv for business. You know, I think Near You by Francis Craig is going to be right up there.” The Post Office— Goodness, our box numbers are posted already. Look, 1 have a letter. Somebody loves me. The Stables— “Dr. Martin hasn’t let us down. Our old favorites are back and some handsome new ones. The Iloofprints Club looks good!” Now, on to the library. “The reading room is luscious— I just have to try one of those deep red- leather chairs. Have you ever seen a more realistic portrait than that of Dr. Martin?” But the day had to end, and as we crawled into bed that night, grinning at our roommates, it was good to have Mrs. Jones come in and say, Good night, young ladies.” A Busy Week-End That whole first week was a bustle. Classes began on Thursday the eighteenth, and that night we had the Hut Party. The flora-dora girls were a big hit, and so was B. J. Cason’s latest song, “Uh-huh.” But the day wasn ' t quite oxer yet. Our first serenade be- tween Senior and Junior Halls — then “Good night, aches ” and off fo bed we went. Lake Day the twentieth was a big event— horse back riding and Dr. Martin as proud as a peacock of his girls and his horses. Swimming and the big soft ball game— the seniors beat the juniors. But, oh me, the faculty beat the seniors! Our first Sunday at Sullins we all went together to the State Street Methodist Church to hear Dr. W. F. Blaekard’s sermon, “The Faultfinder.” In the afternoon each senior called for her little sisters, and we went clown the front steps to the Martin’s home. It was the first time that we really became conscious of the “New Look.” The tea really was lovely, and we were happy to meet the faculty members. The day of Senior Open House, the twenty-sixth, everyone cleaned with a fury and put on all the little finishing touches. Remember how we hid the mops and buckets on the fire escapes and tried to hide the paint brushes and scraps of crepe paper? Evening came, and we welcomed our visitors. Red seemed to be a good color this year. Remember Dot and B. J.’s animals and Bobbie and Alcece’s flowers? Judy and Smitty’s blue room was a big success too. The juniors serenaded us to say “Good night .” A good ending to a good day. “Bury that Smile” “I love the seniors” — “Bury that smile”— “Do you turn your back on a senior” — “Squeak like a rat” — “Fry like bacon”— “Scramble like eggs.” Oh, the fun of Rat Week. The month of goblins and spooks got a good start. Remember Rat Bryan’s soulful twang as she sang, “You came, I was alone”? And oh, how we seniors cheered at Shortie Hamilton’s poem to the seniors. Then on Saturday the junior rats crawled slowly to the Hut for the trial— Rat Court. The charges were made, witnesses called, and verdicts given. “Our buddies, our pals, those wonderful gals.” Whew, it was good to smile again! Now 1 could be myself, not Miss So-and-So.” The juniors look right pretty in make-up without those millions of pig-tails. That night Senior Hall was overflowing with girls, food, and fun. Halls were turned into dance floors, and remember how we all tried “Put your little foot”? Those toasted sandwiches were delicious! Just think what a good cook each of ns will make some lucky man. The Seniors entertain the Juniors at meet the faculty. The next evening, the fifth, we moved the silver services into senior dining room and put on our best formals and manners. It was for the senior recep- tion. It was so lovely! Those little sandwiches and cookies were delicious, thanks to the Home Ec De- partment. The dishes were very pretty— poor Sara, she washed them nearly all night Saturday. I’ll bet she never wants to see a flowered plate again as long as she lives. Midnight Alarm The evening of the twelfth found most of us sleeping peacefully when all of a sudden three sharp peals of the bell knocked us out of bed. Roommates blinked at each other and reached for coats and towels. It seems there was something else 1 was supposed to do— oh, yes, the windows and lights. Do I turn the windows off and put the lights down, or what? Oh, me, I’m so sleepy!” A few clashed into the hall with flashlights and cards. Ilnmmnn, 1 wonder. Were we sleeping peace- fully? Anyway, Sullins wasn’t on fire; so we climbed wearily back into beck Miss Liles and Miss Stowe must not have been too well pleased with us, because the next night, just as I was ready to step into a nice warm tub of water, the bells rang again. My suite-mates pushed the hot plate under the bed, and we ran! I think we made it in two minutes. Anyway, the water wasn’t quite cold when I came back. On October sixteenth we made a journey to Martin Hall to see the juniors’ rooms. Such cute ideas! We were so proud when we saw that Marge and Bonnie had painted our names on their E-Z-Dos. Some of the dolls were just darling. I love the one Joan Negley had — it reminded me of a lovable little pig. We looked silly carrying a bowl home with us with a gold fish in it, but it was fun being told that, be- cause we were the twentieth pair to enter the room, we would receive a door prize. ghosts to haunt us at the candlelight dinner on the thirty-first, and witches and pumpkins sat in our ice cream. Their “haunt couldn ' t have lasted long, though, because before long we were climbing the steps to our rooms singing “White Christmas’— only forty-nine more days! The Sampler Dance Jcre King helped us give November a nice push when he played for the Sampler Dance November eighth. We’re beginning to appreciate Bristol even more. Guess why! The next day Sulims was a kind of pleasant place with all the week-end dates still here. Some of the Art Club members left us for the day to go to the Biltmore Estate. It must be really impressive! We were beginning to get sentimental about Christmas. Just think, in only about a month we would be home for three whole weeks. We were singing “I wish I didn’t love you so, but I’ll bet we didn’t mean it! Santa Claus was a popular old fellow. Raymond Swing visits Sulims. Welcome to the Sampler dance!” At the Black and White Ball, we dance to the music of Johnny Mack ’s orchestra. The Faculty Concert the seventeenth was lovely! We 1 leard our old favorites and found that there were some good new additions to the music department. The next night was our first dance with all the trimmings — balloons, music, and men. I ' d say the United lump was a big success, and the state clubs should be proud of themselves. Oh, the month was full of good things. We heard General Carlos Romulo from the Philippines, and he really made quite an impression. We were thrilled with the ballerina Svetlova. I think what we most liked was her interpretation of Courtship, American Style. The bubble gum behind her ear was a true inspiration. We had our trip to the Smokies. I wonder why the bears made themselves scarce that day. And the juniors had an impressive candlelight installation of officers. The goblins and spooks and witches helped us say good-bye to October. The Georgia Club hired some lie was hanging cheerfully on doors, windows, and E-Z-Dos. We had the spirit! November fifteenth was a big day. After nearly a week of chewing fingernails, we picked Frances Moore, Miss Alabama, as our “Miss Sullins” in the Florida Club Contest. She looked like a dream! That same day the Reflector came out announcing that the Sampler this year would be dedicated to “Hardy.” The theme wasn’t hard to guess— Ballet. Pat Irwin welcomes us to the Junior Senior banquet. November twenty-fourth it rained— so the A. A. Bonfire became a I Tut Party to begin the Soccer Tournament. I’ll whisper the results. “Sshhh, don ' t tell a soul— the juniors won!” Thanksgiving week-end and dates. Oh, it was won- derful! We all took notice and grinned happily when A Fella Needs a Girl started gaining popularity. We agreed. But we disagreed violently when we heard The Gentleman is a Dope. Dreams of Home and Christmas so Glorious December first — nineteen days until the Christmas holidays. But, oh, the work— tests, tests, tests! There was a big discussion of Miss Guthrie’s statement that this was the best time to give tests because our minds were alert. We knew where our minds were— miles and miles away. We forgot studies willingly the week-end of the sixth. We pulled out our black and our white formals and went to the ball, sponsored by the seniors, at the Shelby Hotel. Johnny Mack played, and we all drifted happily along. You know, I think more boys cut at that dance than at any yet. The Y.W.C.A. was introduced to the Sulims cam- pus that week-end with the candlelight installation on Sunday night. Beth Beard will make a wonderful president, I know. On December eighth we went to Tennessee High to hear Mr. Raymond Swing speak. We brought him to Sulims a little later. You see, we do have ce- lebrities at Sullins. The Christmas spirit just wouldn’t stop growing. Everything took on a heavenly look the eleventh for the Junior-Senior banquet. Blue cotton clouds and At ' Santa Claus helps us bring Christ- mas to the underprivileged children. candle-light, Christmas carols, and B. J.’s lovely sing- ing of Oh Iloly Night made us dreamy! Then, all of a sudden, right out of the blue clouds descended the junior King and Ouecn of March Gras. Marilee Winerich will be a beautiful— oops, I mean, handsome— king, and Carol Dailey will be a lovely queen. We kept the spirit all evening, and the court was announced after we had all gathered to sing carols. On the fourteenth we heard the impressive Mes- siah Chorus under the direction of Mr. Kreincr. The next day we packed boxes full of toys, food, and clothes for a group of underprivileged children. They got here just ahead of Santa Claus and sang a little for us— then they got their boxes from under the huge Christmas tree, and we watched them dive into their boxes and come up with toys and smiles. Christ- mas was really coming! Stainbaek entertained us every evening with her lovely What’rc You Doin ' New Year ' s Eve, but on the seventeenth the Glee Club gave us some truly lovely Christmas music. I’d say the eighteenth was a lost day! All through her classes my suite-mate wrote all over her note-book — so many more hours, minutes, seconds, and half seconds. We packed and packed some more. We lost things, found them, and— well, Jody Ogg said it just right in the Chapel program the radio work shop put on for us — ’Twas fhe night before vacation, when all through Sullins College Everyone was stirring, at least to my knowledge. All the nylons were hung round the bathtub with care In hopes that St. Nick would bring a new pair . . . From all along the hall, the same cries were heard. What clothes will I need most— well, upon my word! These exercises are putting my arms out of socket. Jean, come sit on this suitcase while I try to lock it! . . . Then we sprang into bed, tired but joyous To dream dreams of home and Christmas so glorious. But we all exclaimed as we put out the light, Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good-night!” You know, I thought I’d hate to come back after such a heavenly vacation, but I squealed like crazy when I saw my roommate and suitemates. Such excitement— rings, pins, and weddings— every- thing new, including a few more new love interests in Senior. Thoughts of home? They tried to squeeze in, but those exams did their duty right well! I’ve never seen such tests! Then, too, there was the Alice in Wonder- Mike Markle welcomes the guests at the Academy banquet. land play by the Sullins Children’s Theater to keep us bus ' . Gina Clanton was a sweet Alice, and Mina Schmidt a very debonair White Rabbit. Joan Bailey, the Mad Hatter, and Tweedle-dee and Tweedle-dum, Snookv and Lvnn, delighted the grade- school children at the afternoon performance. I wish you could read the cute letters the} wrote to the cast. Those letters were enough thanks for anyone. The Villagers put a romantic finish to the month with their Valentine dance the thirty-first. The dec- orations were simp]} ' beautiful! We entered the dining room by cutting right through the center of a heart, and inside we found hearts hanging just everywhere. [ere King’s— Bristol’s own— orchestra, played for the dance. It was nearly perfect! Even the weather was romantic— it looked like fairyland with the white snow and silver trees. The sledding was good too! We began to wonder if our semester tests had been true, but, oh, woe is me, we soon found that they were— grades, you know. The line in front of Dean Metts’ office grew. Then, off to a new start, we began the second semester. You know, I think that week-end after tests was the most peaceful yet. I wonder who the Walking Man is? On February ninth. Dr. C. J. Hambro spoke at Tennessee High about the United Nations Organiza- tion. It ' s something we should all know more about, and he certainly seems to be an authority on the sub- ject. On Thursday before Valentine ' s Day we had the loveliest dinner by candle-light. Everybody had stars in her eyes, and the post office was overflowing with packages and Valentine cards. alentine’s Day at Sullins surely was a treat! Flowers, candy, jewelry, and happy faces showed that somebody loves us. The hall boys were busy for days carrying out floral boxes. The} didn’t even have time to sing I Wanta Be Loved. Valentine’s Eve those of us who weren’t lucky enough to have our Valentines with us trooped to the Hut to the Commercial Club party. Honestly, it was a riot! Dottie Martin won the coveted door prize, a telephone call to her Valentine, and I ' ll bet she made use of it right quickly. Much to Bobbie’s embarrassment Aleece won the cake-walk, but you know, I don’t think she was really too much worried about it. Miss Loyless surprised us by winning the egg-and-spoon race— she beat Miss Liles! Mildew and Pat won the three-legged race. And this beats everything. B. J. Cason won the pie- eating contest. As a reward, what did she get?— a cherry pie! Oh, I almost forgot another big event of fhe day. T he Spanish Club had a movie in the little theater. So Ends Our Night. The advertisement in chapel in the morning was enough to make anyone want to see it. Gloria and B. J. made good looking caballeros, didn ' t they? Anyway, we had to see the movie just to be loyal. After all, wasn’t Margaret Sullavan a Sullins girl? The Academy banquet was held about this time. They’re going to help make a lovely junior class next year. It was hard to realize how fast time was going. V e began to treasure even minute. Such a time of the year to get Spring fever, but that’s exactly what we did. We got letters from home saying, The skiing and sledding are wonderful! Wish you were here.” We were running down-town in suits. Remember the day Jane Truax decided to take a sun- bath on the ramp. It was a little cool, but she was determined! We all began to enjoy the new student parlor right outside the dining room. The seniors bought a lovely radio-phonograph combination, and the state clubs donated records. It was so nice to be able to listen to some real]} good music before we went into the dining room for supper. That was, of course, after we heard all the soap operas of the day. The basketball teams organized and began practices in earnest. Every night at ten o’clock there was a scramble to the gym to work out. After all, we were getting ready to play V. I. Dr. Martin’s Birthday Dr. Martin had a birthday the twenty-first, and we all wished him the happiest year ever. He celebrated by having his dinner with the Junior Class officers and the members of the Mardi Gras Court as guests at the birthday table. In our minds Dr. Martin was just that much younger. The annual Hoofprints Club Tea was Dr. Martin’s pride. Dot Cowden, the club president, presented a birthday cake to him, and he, like the good sport he is. shared it right there with everyone. lie was so proud of the gift we gave him— statuettes of horses on book- ends. It was just a little token of how much Dr. Martin means to all of us. The Hoofprints Clubhouse is a favorite place. It’s a peck of fun to build a huge fire in the fireplace on a cold winter night, fry some hamburgers, and toast marshmallows, play bridge, and listen to the radio. Then to curl up in the blankets and dream. But that isn’t all the Hoofprints Club has done. It had charge of the horse shows of the year, and it sponsored a trip to Blueficld for the girls who wanted to go to see a fine horse show. Come to the Mardi Gras The Ballet Department began work right after Christmas on the big event of the year. And now at last the time was here for the Mardi Gras. We were all pulling hard to get ready for the big week-end beginning the twenty-sixth. And it was big! Dee and Joan made a darling couple in the Ballet Coppelia. We were all holding our breath for fear that their love affair wouldn’t come out right in the end. B. J„ as Coppelius, left us in spasms! The Art Department had been busy painting the scenery. In fact, they’d been busy all year, first with Alice in Wonderland— then with Mardi Gras. Marilee and Carol made a handsome couple as the king and queen of Mardi Gras. The court was lovely! Each girl wore a pastel colored gown, and the men— handsome? Uh-huh. They wore red velvet uniforms that really were striking! Saturday night was the big night. The hotels were all full to the brim with week-end dates and parents. All the girls cleaned like crazy to prove to their folks that they could keep house. Corsage boxes lined the front halls, and the tele- phone lines were all tied up. No one could possibly find an empty ironing board in Junior or Senior Halls. We forgot nearly everything — lessons definitely — and concentrated on having the time of our lives. We succeeded! The high-light of the Ball was the Grand March, led by Carol and Marilee and their dates. It was easy to see why the members of the court were chosen. Wasn’t it just a perfect week-end though? So many of the old girls came back. They brought with them memories of last year, all the fun we’d had. But new memories were being made too, the kind of memories that will be with us always. At the Hoofprints lea. Dot Cowclcn presents a birthday cake to Dr. Martin. Carol Dailey and Marilee Winerich, with their escorts, lead the Grand March at the Mardi Gras Ball. Dr. Martin beams over his birthday gift from the students. The Villagers entertain us with a beautiful tea. I guess there were other kinds of memories in February too, because I ' m Looking Over a Four Leaf Clover came back after a great many years. It was popular along with The Best Things in Life Are Free and Francis Craig ' s new Beg Your Pardon. The journalism students took a count of favorite orchestra leaders and singers, and we found that Vaughn Monroe is really the favorite. The girls picked him for his voice as well as his orchestra. I ' ll never forget how we all loved his Ballerina. And remember Peggy Lee ' s Golden Earrings? Tex Beneke and King Cole were favorites, and the girls who went to the W. and L. Fancy Dress came back sighing over Elliot Lawrence. There were some cute little sayings going around school about this time — “Well, bless your little pointed head” and “Howdy, Lu-ky.“ I an Garber’s orchestra plavs for the 194 Prom. Graduation recitals are a feature of May. In March little signs of spring began to pop out. and with them, spring fever. Remember the day Sarah came to Spanish class with the first flower of spring? While some students were chasing bugs and other things as well, the rest of us were just chasing. All kinds of tests and term papers were due, but we were always finding good “psychological excuses to get outside. The V illagers had their annual tea at Martha Boswell’s home. It was lovely! There was a breath of the old Irish— the punch bowl and table were dec- orated with gorgeous green and white carnations. The punch was even green! Everybody fell in love with the den— we all decided it would be a perfect place to entertain a date. The academy took advantage of the feeling with their annual dance. Remember how good the dance was last year? They even topped that this year! The Sulims Players allowed us to rest up a little after Mardi Gras. Then they began to troup Alice in Wonderland. They really became experts— scenery went up in a hurry, make-up and costumes were put on, and the play was on! Poor Ginny with her mush- room and Lucy with her teapot had quite a time with props, but it was a peck of fun! Dorothy Thompson came to Bristol in March, and we enjoyed her talk so much. “In Your Easter Bonnet” “Gonna take a Sentimental Journey. What does that remind you of? Uh-huh, we began to think of going home again! We decided now that we rather liked the six-day week since it meant we could have a whole week at home for spring holidays. We counted days, then hours, and finally, all of a sudden it was here— the twenty-fourth. We packed our Easter outfits and headed home. The Easter bunny was happy to see us, we hope, and we certainly were glad to see it. Then we waved goodbye and came trotting back to fill those last months with all the fun we possibly could. It was hard to believe that in a few months our days at Sullins would be over. Old Joe Simms had a birthday in April. It doesn’t seem possible that he’s more than one hundred years old— he’s so spry! He’s a favorite of the music students especially. Many times lie comes in to talk with them in their practice rooms. Old Joe’s been at Sullins a long, long time, and we all hope, he’ll be here for many years to come. We really did pack those last months full. The Juniors had their Junior Week, and had a peck of fun with senior privileges. I ' ll never forget last year when we had those privileges for a week. We were all too busy to use them as we’d planned. The student graduation recitals were high lights of our last weeks in school. The girls really proved The home economics girls model their own creations. The Juniors admire the art exhibits of the Seniors. what talent plus training can do. The prides of our senior class were Pat Henry at the piano and B. J. Welch singing. ' They were lovely! You could certainly tell it was spring. The campus was getting more beautiful by the day, and we were all just praying for good weather for the last week. We crossed fingers and toes and just waited. I’ll never forget Prom week-end — the week-end we’d been planning all year. We bought dresses weeks in advance and had them pressed to perfection. The ironing boards were just never empty. We called the hotels and told them sobbingly that we just had to have a room. We haunted the bulletin board until we got that final telegram saying he’d be here with bells on— oh, joy! It was the most beautiful dance 1 have ever seen. The orchestra was the very best of the year, and we were dancing in the clouds. It kind of combined all the sentimental things we dream about— dancing, flowers, and oh, just everything — even extra late per- missions. We ate until we were silly those last few weeks with all the clubs having their final banquets of the year. The junior luncheon at the hotel was lovely as always. At the Sullins Players, Radio Workshop, and Athletic Association dinners the awards for an active year were given. We began to find new places to study— at the rock quarry in our bathing suits mostly! We took picnic lunches to the lake and spent time between studies practicing new dives and trying to get a tan, just to prove we’d been to school in the south. We went boating and horseback riding and took long hikes over the campus. We drank iced tea and lemon- ade and ate strawberry short cake. We even took a few exams, our finals. These were the last tests we were to take at Sullins College. W c finished classes a week earlier than the juniors and between thoughts and plan-making for senior week, we struggled through our finals. The Juniors looked at us with pity, but just wait, we thought, until next week. Senior Week The last of May brought that week, the week we’d been gloating over all year. We had ploughed through our exams, and now we ran through the halls and campus yelling— not just shouting— “Work for the night is coming— work while the seniors play.” We ignored the neat little signs on each junior door which said, Ouiet, Genius at Work.” In fact, we made downright pests of ourselves. We spent our mornings at the Hut or at the lake. We didn’t get up a minute sooner than we really wanted to, but it was funny — I think we were all so afraid we’d miss something that we were up bright and early every day. We went to movies, swam, sang, feature of Senior Week. and just played in general. It wasn ' t quite all that gay though— we couldn’t forget that soon we’d be leaving, and the parting was even more in our thought as we walked into chapel each morning in caps and gowns singing, “Hail, Sulims College, faithful and true. I don’t think I was alone with a lumpy throat. That week brought the morning in chapel that all the I lome Ec. students look forward to— when they can model the clothes they have made for us all to see. e were proud of many of our friends when we saw w hat they had done. Barbara Hill showed us what a tall girl can do with clothes. Libber, Natalie, Char, and Jeanne made us mights proud too! And Chu— she just looked darling! It ' s sure!} going to be hard to get used to not having her around next rear. The whole style show was cleverly presented, and it certain!} ' was proof of their skill and originality. The Art Exhibit on the last Thursday was really an accomplishment. Those girls worked hard all year on main things. It’s hard to believe that the} ' had time to turn out the masterpieces that the} ' did. The exhibit included the works of quite a few of our seniors — Martha Jean Boswell, Betty Lou Hardin, Frances Moore, Jane Osier. Rita Shaw, Mary Elizabeth Drake, Mimi Hoyt, True!} McGinley, Char Weather- ley, Ellen Pritchett, Julia Tanner, Jams Hale, and Georgia Hammett. Mr. Loomis gave his Vesper Organ Recital on Thursday evening. When lie plays, it honestly makes you feel a part of the music. Friday the May festival in the outdoor theater on the back campus revealed to us the beauties of the Senior Class of 1948. The queen. Beck} ' Pritchard, was simply beautiful, and she and her attendant, Frances Moore, followed the court parade. They’re both beautiful brunettes, and it was an impressive moment when Fran placed the crown on Becky’s head. We ' re right proud of the fact that our court had not only beaut} ' but brains as well. The court was honored by the May Da} ' Ballet that followed. ' l ire end of the Ballet brought a sad moment for the girls who would be leaving. We were really going to miss those ballet lessons with “Hardy,” and all the good times we’d had together. We said a sorrowful good-bye in our hearts as the Candle-light Service of the Academy took place on the front lawn. They sang their songs dedicated to each other and to the school, and in the cool evening formed their impressive candle-light figures. The next day they became alumnae in our amphi- theater. 4 lie} ' all wore the traditional long white dresses and carried huge bouquets. The annual horse show caused a big stir on the campus. Honestly, Dr. Martin is so proud of his equestriennes. We were all there cheering our friends to victor}. Everybody looked good! The exhibition riding was marvelous, and of course, the contests kept us on edge. I came back a little hoarse from veiling so loudly for my roommate. The Commencement Play was marvelous this vear! It’s always hard to find a play for girls, but the Dramatic Art Department has succeeded. The Juniors wish the Seniors a fond farewell at the Daisy Chain. We spent our last night together just kind of reminiscing, trying to crowd so many things into our last times together. We looked at our trunks but didn’t have the heart to begin packing. We leafed through our annuals and had our friends sign their pictures and leave us little notes that would later be a sentimental part of our memories. I don’t remember sleeping at all— there was too much to talk about. The Last Day There were many memories in that last day. Remember our Baccalaureate service at the State Street Methodist Church in the morning? It gave us new inspiration for the days soon to follow. In the afternoon we took our parents to the Mar- tin’s home for our last tea together. Daisy Chain Sunday evening brought us many tears. Remember the feeling we had as we sang our songs and solemnly watched as Poagy, Polly, and Dot gave their caps and gowns to their successors as Student Council president, Senior class president, and Editor- in-chief of the Sampler. Nothing could change the sentiment of that event. We saw the symbolic ivy planted, and we sang the Alma Mater — “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. The May Festival and Academy Graduation are held in the amphitheater. 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!” It was our “Good-bye” to Sullins, for soon we would receive those long awaited diplomas and cer- tificates and flip our tassels to the other side. Our invitations had read, “The Senior Class, The President and Faculty of Sullins College request the honour of your presence at the Seventy-eighth Com- mencement Exercises May the thirtieth, nineteen hundred forty-eight, Bristol, Virginia.” Now ' it was here. We heard the commencement message and heard Dr. Martin tell us that we were the best senior class Sullins College had ever graduated. It’s “Good-bye” to one thing and Hello” to another; but we carry much of the old with us for- ever, for wdio could forget days so full of fun and friendship? I w ' on’t and you won’t. So though we sing, “Farewell, Sullins, faithful and true,” we’re saying that we’ll always remember “the best years of our lives.” At the Daisy Chain, the Seniors bequeath their responsibilities, along with their caps and gowns, to the Juniors. OmO mJIh h Sullins College, our Alma Mater. How our hearts fill with pride when we think of these words! We shall not soon forget our faithful advisers or the beautiful location. To help keep our days at Sullins alive within our memories, we have pre- pared this section. Few of us will forget the day we rounded the curve and saw the stately new library ready for our use. As we came up the drive and caught a glimpse of the old familiar buildings, we were indeed proud of our choice of colleges. During the passing months, we explored the campus and discovered for ourselves the beauties that surround us. Looking out from the front campus, we viewed the majestic Ilolston Mountains rising up before us; and at the back, we could see the hills in the distance. At Mrs. Martin’s tea last fall we were introduced to the faculty. Since then we have placed many of them on our list of dearest friends. It is through them that we have learned to be broadminded and tolerant. They are the ones who have directed our thinking, teaching us to form our opinions on the basis of sound reasoning. When we arrived on the campus last September, we selected our courses with the help of Dean Metts. Not all of us wished to study the same subjects. We had a choice between two types of programs which lead to a diploma. The first was a course in liberal arts, which corresponds to the first two years of university work. This year this literary” de- partment was the most popular department in the college. One hundred forty-five girls registered as working toward a general diploma. The other one hundred eightv-three girls enrolled m the second type of pro- gram. They wished to con- centrate on special subjects. Each of these students will be awarded a diploma or a certificate in secretarial studies, art, music, home economies, physical educa- tion, or speech. In the Academy there are seventy students pre- paring for college. With a diploma from Sullins they may enter any college or university without entrance examination. Yes, this is the setting in which we have spent some of the happiest times of our lives in study and in play. In the new class rooms, we have been more inspired than ever before. And with the helpful and patient guidance of our teachers and advisers, we go forth to take our places in the world. The library is the first build- ing we see as we enter the East Gate.

Page 23 Page 24 m In the spring the campus is a paradise of blooms. As we walk clown the West Drive, we admire the pink dogwood. Page 25 President Dr. W. E. Martin is, of course, the most popular man on the Sullins campus. From early morning until late at night, we can find him absorbed in making our college a better one. Though he is busy, he always finds time to help us with our problems, to chat with us in the halls, or to enjoy the beauty of the campus. 1 1 is favorite pastime, perhaps, is riding through the countryside on Sunday afternoons with his girls. In chapel, he illuminates for us passages of scripture. 1 1 is profound thinking, his keen sense of humor, and his sincere interest in inspiring us to higher ideals have endeared him to us. Page 26 Daw of Girls Mrs. W. E. Martin, our charming and gracious Dean of Girls, is always able to help us solve our problems. In spite of the large number of girls she is responsible for, she is sincerely interested in each one of us. Her friendliness and understanding have meant much to us through the year. We admire her ability to speak with case about a variety of subjects, and her chapel talks have been an in- spiration to us. Mrs. Martin, who has a great appreciation for the beautiful things in art and nature, tries, by giving us opportunities for their enjoyment, to awaken a similar appreciation in us.

Ilis work here as vice-president also includes serving on the admissions committee and the guidance com- mittee.

M. degree at Emory University; lie has done some summer study at the University of North Carolina. A native of Dublin, Georgia, he has spent the past twenty- two years here in Bristol. 1 am sure none of us will forget that first day here at Sullins when we waited in line to sec Dean Metts about our schedules for the year. The long wait was well worth while; for as soon as we entered his office, we found that, with his kind and helpful advice, we could plan our schedules without a flaw. Throughout the year many of us, returning to Dean Metts’ office with other problems, have found his sympathetic interest in each one. Besides his work as Dean, he teaches freshman English.

Page 43 Very important in the well-rounded life of an individual in college are the activities. Sulims offers a varied program of activities, so that there are organi- zations and sports to suit the tastes of each individual girl. The organizations are designed to develop what- ever abilities and talents each girl may have. For those dramatically inclined there is the Sullins Players. The Radio Workshop also gives the girls much actual experience. For those interested in music there are several fields of interest. First, we have the Glee Club, which presents lovely concerts throughout the year. The members of the Vested Choir are chosen from those in the Glee Club who have the most beautiful voices. And at the close of each year we are thrilled with the music of the symphony recital. The members of the symphony are chosen from the most talented student musicians. Working in the closest co-operation with both the students and the faculty are the Student Councils. But the united efforts of all the students are required to make this democratic form of government function properly. Soccer, hockey, and basketball— how quickly the seasons come and go! Through our participation in the various sports, we have learned that the spirit behind the game is more important than who wins the game. All the time that we are achieving mastery of the game, we are also developing our ability to work together. Whether we win or lose, we learn the fundamentals of good sportsmanship. By associating with others, we learn the value of co-operation and forget selfish interests. Especially in such world-wide organi- zations as the Red Cross and the Young Women’s Christian Association are we able to forget our per- sonal opinions and work together for a common cause. In the world today we are constantly in close con- tact with other people and other groups. We must be able to accept defeat as well as success. We arc going to have to work with differ- ent groups sometimes un- der difficult conditions. During our college days we learn to adjust ourselves to different circumstances and to get along with dif- ferent personalities. In this way we are preparing our- selves to face the problems of life. Staff of The staff of the 1948 Sullins Sampler began its work carl} in the fall under the sponsorship of Miss Ruth . Milbrandt. The purpose of this staff was not only to make this the very best Sampler ever pub- lished but also to record a true picture of life at Sullins for each girl to look back on during the coming years. Dorothy Yentress found that presiding over the weekly meetings of the staff was only a minor part of Above: Marv and Trudy plan their sketches. At right: Norma, fo.

The Reflector, monthly school paper of Sullins College, is edited by the members of fhe journalism classes. Every year this paper has won high honors among the college papers of fhe nation. For the first semester of this year, the paper won a rating of All- American m the semi-annual jour- nalism contest held by the Asso- ciated Collegiate Press of the Uni versify of Minnesota. The judges commented espe- cially on the features and the edi- torials. Miss Mabel Doll ins, teacher of journalism, serves as faculty ad- viser and instructor to the Re- flector staff. Sara Wilcox and Beth Beard were appointed co-editors for the year 1947-48, with Betty Oswald as associate editor. Other staff members appointed were Pat DeBarger, feature editor; Gina Clanton, alumnae editor; Sue Peek and Abbie Moyer, sports editors, and Bonnie Lockerman, ad- vertising manager.

Betty Ann Poag, president of the college council, Patsy Clark, vice-president, and Patricia Pease, secretary, guided the college council in its purpose “to promote the closest sympathetic cooperation be- tween the students and faculty in all phases of school life.” Senior representatives on the college council were Barbara St. Clair, Joan Bailey, and Norma Jean Dew. Junior representatives were Dorothy Bryson, Shirley Frcrcr, first semester, Jean Covington, first sem- ester, Barbara Molz, second sem- ester, and Doris Lowery, second semester. Daphne Ellis represent- ed the day students. This year for the first time the Academy had a council of its own, with Adele Woodall, president, and Pat Hinkle, secretary. This served the Academy as the college coun- cil served the college. The repre- Standing (left to right): Bailey, Bryson, Lowery, Molz, Covington, St. Clair, Ellis.

Once a month both councils held a joint meeting with the fac- ulty executive committee. Mem- bers of this committee are Dr. and Mrs. W. E. Martin, Mr. William Martin, Dean D. L. Metts, the ad- visers to the college council, and the advisers to the academy council. Miss Myra Stowe, Miss Bess Ava Guthrie, and Miss Ruth V. Milbrandt arc the advisers to the college council; Miss Caroline Liles, Miss Virginia Sanford, and Miss Jane Gregg, to the academy council. The councils met each week to discuss and work out the problems which arose and to try girls who had broken rules or committed serious offenses. Besides their regular duties, the councils spon- sored the March of Dimes and the tuberculosis seals drives at Sullins. ' Phe council sponsored the World Student Service Fund jointly with the YWCA. This drive was for the purpose of helping needy students all over the world. This year the councils put in a central budget system and made plans for an honor system for next year. The Spring Prom, one of the largest of the Sullins dances and the last of the year, was sponsored by the Student Council. Music for the dance was fur- nished by Bill Knauf and his orches- tra. Phe dance was held at the Gen eral Shelby Hotel in the ballroom, which was decorated in the style of an old-fashioned Southern mansion with flowers and soft lights. Page 49 The Vested Choir Front Row (left to right): Welch, Blank, Romm, Beard. DeBarger, Reinhardt. Rack Row: Burnette, Holman, Sykes, Killinger, McKee, Glass, Hampton, Rabbage, Bailev, and Torbett. The choir sings the recessional at vespers. From the first homesick Sunday to the last Sunday, when we begin telling all our friends “Good-by for now,” Sunday-night vespers will long be remembered. From the first note of the processional through the last faint amen with its accompaniment of the chimes, the soft singing of the Vested Choir brought us peace and comfort. The choir made many appearances in the local churches and in Sunday school classes, providing much pleasure for the people of Bristol as well as for the college. They also sang in Marion and other towns nearby. The first Sundav m May, the choir presented a pro- gram for vespers, such as they had given for the churches and other groups in Bristol and the surround- ing towns. At this time, the choir sang Lift Thine Eyes, Lo A Voice to Heaven Sent, Open Our Eyes, and Listen to the Lambs. Professor Loomis played the beloved Ave Maria on the organ, and Miss Arlene Burt, violin instructor, pre- sented Voices of Spring on the violin. In closing, the choir sang Now the Day Is Over with a solo part taken by Aleeee Hampton. This program was enjoyed very much by both stu- dents and faculty. It is programs such as this which make the Sunday night vespers memorable hours to be thought of in the years to come. In May the choir also sang for Dr. Martin’s Sun- day school class at State Street Methodist Church. Accompanied by Professor Loomis they sang selections from their spring programs. Miss Burt also played a violin solo for the class. For the graduation program and the baccalaureate sermon at the end of the year, the beautiful music was an inspiring background. At this time the mem- bers sang the beautiful Seraphic Song and others. Professor Raymond F. Kreiner, voice instructor, directs the choir. Lie gave a great deal of personal attention to the selection of the members, choosing those whose voices would blend best. Professor C. C. Loomis, director of the music de- partment, plays the accompaniments and contributes much to the programs. The words and music of Service, Like As A Father, and Now the Day Is Over will always be full of the memories of Sulhns and the choir. The girls composing the Vested Choir are Aleeee Hampton, Bettye Jayne Welch, Melba Sykes, Mary Alice Blank, Pat DeBarger, and Miss Loris Dean Burnette, sopranos; Louise Rabbage, Rose Marie Kil- linger, Joyce Reinhardt, Carolyn Ann Holman, and Miss Katherine Bailey, second sopranos; and Ruth Torbett, Beth Beard, Monta Jo Glass, Jean Romm, and Laura McKee, altos. Page 50 The Glee Club The Sullins Glee Club of 1947-48, made up of about seventy-five voices, is the largest the school has ever had. Professor Raymond F. Kreiner, instructor in voice, is the director of the club. In November the club made its first appearance at the Virginia Federation of Music Clubs Convention held at the General Shelby Hotel. At this time, the members sang The Christmas Candle and A Gypsy Choral Fantasie. These were well received by the con- vention members. The students remember best the candlelight service given by the club just before Christmas. Through the candlelit stillness floated the beloved Christmas carols sung by the Glee Club, with an organ solo by Carol Nelson, and vocal solos by Rose Marie Killinger and Aleece Hampton. In the fall, the club elected Bettve Jayne Welch, president; Carolyn Ann Holman, vice-president; Pat Buell, secretary; Margaret Stewart, treasurer; Jody Ogg and Peggy Smith, librarians; and Sally Salisbury, re- porter. The club is a member of the Federation of Music Clubs of Virginia, and it has met all the requirements of the organization. The talent of the club has been shown, not only in the programs which have been given alone but also in the combined concerts. Some of the members of the Glee Club joined the Bristol Community Chorus for the presentation of Handel’s Messiah just before the Christmas holidays. For the Mardi Gras program, the Glee Club pro- vided a musical background for the court dances as well as music between the acts. In April the chorus sang with the Bristol Men’s Chorus in a joint concert. This concert was given three times, once in Elizabethton, Tennessee, for the general public, and twice in Bristol, once for the public, and once for the schools. Each chorus sang several numbers separately and then the mixed chorus presented a few favorites, such as In the Night, Rose Marie, and The Italian Street Song. The best-lik ed of the numbers sung by the groups alone were The Piper from Over the Way for the girls, and Dry Bones for the men. The club’s final touch to the memory of beauty they had created was added when they sang a beautiful song of spring, and love, and May, as the May Queen and her court took their places in the college amphi- theater for the May Day program.

Page 51 The Radio Workshop Pat Sproles, Mildred Iluie, M illie Skillcorn, and Judv Johnson work the controls and guide the activities of the Workshop. Every Sunday afternoon, the Radio Workshop lias presented a fifteen-minute program over the air waves from station WCYB in Bris- tol. These programs were presented from the radio studios here at Sul lins. From the first words of “Ou the hill stands Sulims College . . to the last words of the student an- nouncer, the programs were inter- esting and educational. open house was held to acquaint the faculty and students with the new radio rooms. Then in the spring, the second-semester banquet was held to present awards and to introduce the officers for the com- ing year. Miss Elizabeth Greene, teacher of radio and speech at Sulims, is the sponsor of the club. The club consists of forty mem- bers for this year, with Mildred Iluie as president. Other officers elected were Willadean Skillcorn, vice-president; Pat Sproles, secre- tary; and Judy Johnson, treasurer. Members having pins arc Joan Bailey, Juanita Baker, Delores Ban- ick, B. J.

Several chapel programs were broadcast from the radio studio. These programs usually consisted of dramatizations of short stories or discussions of current events. There were also programs of music, in which numbers requested by the students were played. Hun- dreds of records are a part of the new studio equipment. For these programs, members of the Workshop had the opportunity to broadcast, to produce and write scripts, and to handle the controls and make all the sound effects for the programs. In the fall the Workshop enjoyed its annual first-semester banquet at the General Shelby Hotel. Later Nancy Sclmslcr makes the sound effects while Shirley Rester, Barbara Mullen, and Lee McWilliams broadcast. Other members listen in. Page 52 college students who wished to attend. During Commencement week the Players presented the college senior play with a cast composed entirely of seniors, and an academy Remember Alice and her adven- tures in the rabbithole? The pro- duction of Alice in Wonderland was one of the outstanding events in the year’s program of the Sulims Players. T his group, composed of students taking speech and dramatics, pre- sented plays, not only for the acting experience but also for the experience in costuming, make-up, and stage setting. The Children’s Repertory The- ater, which was established last year, presented Alice in Wonderland, with an afternoon performance for the grammar schools and a night performance for the college and adults. This play was “trouped” to Emory and Henry College and to many of the country schools. The earliest project of the club was the sponsoring of a technicolor movie of the boyhood adventures of “Titian” in the college chapel for the children of Bristol and the Left to right: Skillcorn, Bailey, McWilliams, and Stanley Officers take an afternoon off. senior play with a cast of academy seniors. Sullins Players pins were awarded at the annual banquet in May to all those girls who had earned a hundred points during the year. Points were given for working on the program committees, make-up, scenery, stage crew, costume com- mittees, and lighting committees. Officers for the year were Lee McWilliams, president; Joan Bailey, vice-president; Willadean Skillcorn, secretary; and Helena Stanley, treas- urer. Miss Edith Humphrey is spon- sor of the Players.

Costumes for Alice in Wonder- land , beautiful scenery for the March G ras pageant, or a rug de- sign for interior decoration— these are but a few of the art students’ accomplishments for the year. All these were a part of the fun and excitement of being able to make, to create something of beauty and interest. Officers elected for the year were Rita Shaw, president; Minn Hoyt, vice-president; Bonnie Lockerman, secretary; and Wilda Williams, treasurer. The faculty advisers, Mrs. Nona Hodge and Miss Ellen Stacy, work- ed with the officers in guiding the affairs of the club for the year. In the fall, the club took a trip to Biltmore Estate in Asheville, North Carolina. This building, a copy of a French chateau, is full of interesting art works. Looking over the house with its stone walls and towers, the students had the feeling of being in an ancient castle. In March, the club had a party at the Hut for the members, with Palette Club dancing, refreshments, and enter- tainment for all. Another event for the club was a combined sketching trip and picnic held in the early spring. Events such as these added much to the spirit of the club. The club members are Jo-Ncll Amberson, Jo Blair, Martha Jean Boswell, Carol Boyd, Charlotte Bradshaw, Betty Bryan, Pat Buell, Patsy Clark, Barbara Cook, Eliza- beth Cowden, Joyce Dawson, Diana Day, Betty DeEorce.

Working the switchboard, run- ning the mimeograph, and doing endless typing are only a few of the many tasks accomplished by the commercial students, members of the Commercial Club. The club sponsored a party at the Hut for the entire student body on Valentine’s Day. There were bingo games, a three-legged race, and a spoon-and-egg race with the faculty members coming in ahead of the fastest students, and refresh- ments for all. Another event of the party was an exciting pie-eating contest. The annual dub banquet was held in April at the General Shelby Hotel. At this time, the president for next year was announced, and plans were made for the club’s pro- grams and activities. Barbara Whitmore as president guided the club’s activities for the year, aided by Dorothy Willingham, vice-president, Paula Reed, secre- tary, Nan Fisher, treasurer, Mildred Trapletti, publicity chairman, and M iss Margaret Johnson, sponsor. The honor members of the club are those having a B average in their commercial courses. They are entitled to wear a club pin. These include Nell Cannon, Carolyn Carico, Jean Coley, Carol Fields, Nan Fisher, Peggy Francisco, Bertie Gilbert, Nancy Huff, Ruth Houck, Barbara Lash, Dottic Mar- tin, Jeanne Morphew, Paula Reed, Gloria Smith, Helen Smith, Mil- dred Trapletti, Barbara Whitmore, and Dorothy Willingham.

By the end of the year, the membership had grown to seventy-five. Joan Bailey was elected president. Other officers were Jean Mickel, vice-president, Marilyn Marble, sec- retary, and Barbara St. Clair, treas- urer. One of the club’s main projects for the year was to entertain the veterans at Mountain Home Hos- pital in Johnson City, Tennessee. Programs were presented several times by the members. to the weekly visits, a party was given for the children, and it was enjoyed by both the children and the girls who gave it. During Feb- ruary and March, a clothing drive was held for these boys and girls. The club also sponsored a note- book-and-pencil drive for European students who are in need of school supplies. This drive was held in chapel one morning, and each stu- dent was asked to contribute a pencil, an eraser, a notebook, or paper to be sent abroad. Advisers for the year were Miss Virginia Sanford, a former Red Cross worker with the army, and M iss Myra Stowe, physical educa- tion teacher. They contributed much to the spirit of the club with their guidance and advice. Joan Bailey represented the Sul- lins Red Cross chapter at a Red Cross College Unit conference in Washington, D. C., where plans were made for Red Cross work all over the United States. The veterans seemed to appreci- ate very much the interest taken in them by the college girls. Just be- fore Christmas, they enjoyed play- ing cards, singing, and being pre- sented with cigarettes by Linkey Stanley dressed in a modern version Santa Claus outfit. In the spring, a barn dance was given at Mountain Home. Mrs. Harrop of the Bristol Red Cross presents the chapter certificate to Joan Bailey. Left to right: Marble, St. Clair, Mickel, and Bailey.

In addition Page 56 Members of the YWCA are Juanita Baker, Beth Beard, Virginia Blake, Jo Blair, Dorothy Bryson, Pat Buell, Carol yn Carico, Nancy Carlon, Emily Conner, Mary Jane Green, Anne Cow, Katherine Har- rison. A chapter of the YWCA was organized this year on the Sullins campus. Its spirit has been felt by everyone, for it has helped to create, maintain, and extend throughout the college high ideals of Christian character. Beth Beard was elected the first president. Other officers were Mil- dred Ilnie, vice-president; Pat Hin- kle, secretary; Margaret Wilson, treasurer; Dorothy Bryson, program chairman; Mary J. Whisnant, devo- tional chairman, with Virginia Blake and Peggy Robbins as assist- ants; and Jane Knaebel, publicity chairman. The officers were installed in a candlelight service in the chapel held in the fall. In a simple but impressive service, the officers and members promised to stand by their duties and to fulfill their responsi- bilities. During the year, the club spon- sored a drive for China’s children. Left to right: Knaebel, Blake, Bryson, Huie, Beard, Hinkle, Wilson, Robbins, and Whisnant.

The Y.W.C.A. entertains the Virginia Intermont Y cabinet with a tea at the Hut. They also sponsored Bible readings in chapel several times a week, with members of the club taking turns reading the passages. Another project was a Valentine tea given by the club for the YW- CA cabinet of Virginia Intermont College. ' I ' he officers of the two clubs compared their programs and projects for the year and made plans for the future. Mrs. Nell Booth, commercial t eacher, was sponsor during the first semester; when she left the college because of illness, Aliss Angie Loy- less and Miss Ellen Stacy became sponsors. Their guidance added much to the club’s spirit. In May a retreat was held at Camp Sequoya for all the members. They made plans for next year’s programs, drives and projects, and elected officers. Page 57 The H ome Economics Club was set with a huge pair of glasses for a background, with one side see- ing the old styles of fashion and the other seeing the new. Each senior in the foods class had to prepare and serve a dinner, spending only a certain amount of money. This is one of the require- ments of the course and was carried out well by each of the senior members. The junior students entertained the entire senior class with a tea, given near the end of the year. This annual occasion was enjoyed by everyone. The sponsor of the club is Miss Sarah I Tawley, teacher of sewing in the home economies department. Members of the club include students taking any home econom- ies subjects. They are Natalie Becker, Charlotte Bradshaw, Doro- thy Bryson, Betty Buchanan, June Chu, Barbara Echols, Ann Evans. Jean Fuller, Barbara Hill, Helen Longino, Mary Jane Martin, Mar- jorie Mathis, Jeanne Murphy, Doris Nowell, Dorothy Scott, Pat Self, Elizabeth Ann Smith, Helena Stanley, Barbara Taylor, and Ruth Wall. ' No one will ever forget the looks on the faces of those children when they saw the stage with one huge tree reaching to the ceiling and two smaller ones, all shining with hun- dreds of colored lights. And when Santa Claus came in to deliver the presents stacked under the trees, that group was one of the happiest in a world waiting for Christmas. Another of the events for the club was the fashion show during Marv Walsh, Ninetta Wall, Peggv Ann Robbins, Elizabeth Daniell, Minta Buck- ley, Florence Dabney, Ann Sandridge, and Joan Johnson enjoy playing Santa Claus — as we all do.

Page 59 The State Clubs At the end of the contest she was presented with a bracelet bearing her title and a bouquet of red roses. In flic fall fhe California club and fhe Alabama club combined, and the Alabama-California club carried on the work of both the clubs. After one of the college dances in the fall, the Texas club gave a big party at the Hut for all the members of the club and two guests invited by each. Hamburg- ers, cokes, cake, and all the trim- mings were enjoyed by the girls; and after all it’s more fun to have an all-night picnic than to sleep! The Hoofprints Clubhouse is one of the favorite spots on the campus to give parties, and the state clubs make use of it often for their frolics. The Midwestern club gave a slumber party here for the members, with the usual good food and fun for all. The Maryland, Delaware, and District of Columbia club spon- sored a hayride for the entire col- lege in the spring— hay, horses, and blue skies! The state clubs and their officers for the year include: The Alabama-California Club —Edna Lazenby, president; Nancy Belser, vice-president; LeRuth Jones, secretary and treasurer; and Miss Caroline Liles, sponsor. “Swing it!

Sullins girls represent almost every state in the union as well as several foreign countries. Most of the students belong to one of the state or regional clubs which are organized on the Sullins campus. The state clubs combined and sponsored a state club dance early m the fall, which was appropriately called the “United Hop.” Each club contributed its share of the work, decorating, and fun. The Georgia club gave its annual I Iallowe’en party at the Hut for the entire student body. Entertain- ment consisted of a cake-walk, apple-bobbing, and fortune telling, and ended with the girls telling their favorite story of the ghosts and “spooks” which walk on Hal- lowe’en night. The Georgia club also helped to support a needy family at Christ- mas, and gave a gift to the com- munity chest and other drives for the year’s projects. In November the Florida club sponsored a beauty contest. Frances Moore won the contest and the title of “Miss Sullins of 1947-48.” Page 60 of 1947-48 The Arkansas Club— Pat Ray, president; Pat Dawson, secretary; Janann Gleason, treasurer; Alice Hamilton, social chairman; and Mr. William Martin, sponsor.

This pin is a symbol of all the riding at Sul- ims, and it will always be cherished by the horse-lovers of the classes. Several Tennessee walking horses were purchased this year for the stables. These arc especially fine for pleasure riding, as their gait is steady and smooth. The club’s annual tea was held in the clubhouse on February 22 in honor of Dr. Martin’s birthday. Dr. Martin, an ardent horseman, is one of the most enthusiastic supporters of the club. The Hoofprints Club began the year’s activities with an exhibition of horses at the stables and open house at the club house early in November. This acquainted the students and faculty with the rid- ing program of Sul 1 ins and gave the horse-lovers a chance to get together. In January the club saw a movie on American horses, which showed in color the different types of horses, the gaits, and horses in slow motion. One of the highlights of the Left to right: Cowden, Crews, Sheppard, Welch, and McWilliams. The officers relax in the clubhouse. Near the end of the school the club held its annual banquet at the General Shelby Hotel. All these well-trained horsewomen looked very smart in their riding clothes. The banquet was one of the club’s biggest events of the year.

The girls who made the trip were entertained by the own- ers of the farm with a lovely lunch- eon. A student-faculty “gymkhana” was held in March for the entire student body, and a great deal of fun was enjoyed by everyone. Members of the club have been in outstanding horse shows through- out the state and the South. Some of the most beautiful of the horses arc “Small Town Girl,” “Daisy,” “Highland Glee,” “Redbird,” and “Honey.” Page 63 The H oofprints Club The program consisted of talks by Or. Martin and by Mr. Fred Mayer, who assisted with the horse show at tire end of school. Lee Mc- Williams gave a reading, and Dot Cowden presided. During Commencement week the annual Commencement Morse Show was held in the lower riding ring. This event, which topped off the season’s activities, was attended by horse lovers from all over the country. Some of the special features of the horse show were the beginner’s classes, the pair classes, the drill classes, and the five-gaited show- horse class. Other events which aroused a great deal of interest were the advanced, intermediate, and be- ginner’s hacking classes, which show the best ways of cross-country pleasure riding. One of the most interesting events was a fine harness exhibition given by Sue Peek with her own five-gaited horse, “Radiant Charm.” The club meetings were held in the clubhouse which is a log cabin on the back campus. With its color- ful interior and huge fireplace, the clubhouse is a favorite spot for all riding students. Officers for the year are Dorothy Cowden, president; Bettye Jayne Welch, sice-president; Norma Jean Crews, secretary; Dorothy Shep- pard, treasurer; and Lee McWill- iams, social chairman. The club is under the sponsor- ship of the riding teachers, Miss Jody Burrington and Miss Jean Greer.

What memories this name recalls to ns— fun and frolic, fast-moving girls on a basketball court, cheerleaders and yells, and finally, the last great banquet. Wc all remember our first in- troduction to the A. A. It came early in the fall af flic Annual Hut Party. Juanita Baker and Jean Rey- nolds, the top two of the organiza- tion, greeted us at the door with their warm “Hello’s,” and we knew from this greeting on, that the pur- pose of flic A. A. was to promote friendship and loyalty among fellow students. It was here, too, that we learned one didn’t have to be a female Babe Ruth” to join, for any girl who had the will to be a member was cordially invited. Of course, if one had been the top scorer in high-school sports, Association she would be given ample opportu- nity to show her skill. No holds were barred as long as wc played the game hard and fair. A few weeks later the other offi- cers of the organization were elect- ed. Pat Hinkle of the Academy became secretary, Jean Covington, Junior, treasurer, and Judy Wood, Senior, social chairman. From this point on, our school calendar became filled with A. A. activities. There was the fall hayride, com- plete with wagons, horses— and, of course, hay. The trip was a little bumpy, we ll admit, but the good food, songs, and fun were ample reward for the bumps. Left to right: Jamilee Copelan, Patsy Dawson, Alice Hamilton, Joyce Moore. The Juniors say, “Fight, team! Fight!” Left to right: Nicky Wall, Nancy Downing, Mickey Schwarz, Camilla Foil. “Yea, Academy!” say the yell leaders. Our vocal cords will never be the same after that evening spent down at the Pep Rally in the Hut. The occasion was the hockey and soccer tournaments, and we ll warrant so much class spirit was never crowd- ed into four walls before. Even the ever-enthusiastic cheerleaders had to give way to fatigue. The whole school was buzzing while the tennis, basketball, soccer, swimming and hockey tournaments were on. One could always see a crowd of girls going out to support their favorite team or to participate Page 66 A Sport for Every Gir Lett to right: Jean Reynolds, Jean Covington, Juanita Baker, Pat Hinkle. The A. A. officers meet for a chat. in their favorite sport. It was through these tournaments that we earned points for our shield, letter, or bar. With 1 SO points, we receive a shield, and 300 points entitles 11 s to a letter. Those of us who dance and ride spent our time well, too, with Mardi Gras, May Day, and tire horse shows. We received points through these activities. It might be fitting here to men- tion that each sport is represented and supervised by members of the Athletic Association Board. These members and their individual ac- tivity include Minnie Weathersbee, soccer; Millicent Merker, hockey; Mildred Huie, swimming; Rebecca Prichard, basketball; Norma Jean Crew’s, dancing; LeRuth Jones, ten- nis; Joyce Mattison, volleyball; and Dorothy Cowden, riding. And last, but certainly not least, come the two sponsors of the A. A., Miss Caroline Liles and Miss Myra Stowe. Their patience and friend- ship have certainly been an inspira- tion to the girls. The Athletic Association Ban- quet of May was a night always to remember. The place was the Sul- ims’ dining room, the dress, formal. And the food— well, words could never describe it, but we will say it was fit for the finest of kings. Juanita Baker, president, played hostess for the evening, while the Board members proceeded to give medals to the varsity teams, and shields, letters, and th e highest of all athletic awards, the bar, to deserving girls. It was also at this time that the annual gold cup was given to the best all-round athlete at Snllins. Last of all, came the introduction of the new 1948-49 A. A. president and vice-president, who took the oath of office. Yes, friendship and sportsman- ship walked hand in hand this year with the Athletic Association— an organization we’ll long remember.

Board says “Hello!” to the camera. Page 67 tufc ’ The Juniors are off for a goal. The whistle sounded, the two teams broke from their huddles to take the field positions. It was November 25, 194 . The Seniors were matching the Junior-Academy team in the first Soccer game of the year. Both teams were well prepared, having participated in at least eight practices held after class hours under the supervision of Minnie Weathersbee. Today was the dav when one team must lose. The spectators leaned forward in their seats to watch Baker kick off for the Seniors. The Juniors receiv- ed the ball and made a swift drive down the field; but suddenly. Hall appeared out of nowhere to gain possession of the ball for the Sen- iors. Minutes passed, and the Junior- Academy team scored. The whistle blew, signifying the quarter, but the players were so engrossed they heard nothing. Fi- nally, the referees resorted to yell- ing ' ' Quarter! Quarter! But the players thought they said “Water! Water! and looked around to see who had fainted. After a moment of rest, play was resumed, but the Seniors seemed doomed to defeat. Joyce Mattison. Junior goalie, guarded her post too well. Soccer The struggle continued through- out the final play. The whistle blew 7 . The game was over. The Junior-Academy team had defeated the Seniors, two to nothing. December 2 brought the second tournament game, another tough battle. For two quarters the score remained tied, four to four. Then the Junior- Academy team gained another two points. This looked bad for the Seniors; in spite of all their attempts, the Juniors and Academy, who just wouldn ' t be beaten, left the field with a winning score — tournament winners of the 1947 Soccer Season. Junior-Acamemy Team: Clayton, Cow den, Hampton, Hewit, Hin- kle, Jones (Sally), Mattison, Sawhill, Shelt, Stuart, and ' ■ ' Weathersbee. Senior Team: Bailey, Baker, Champion, Cowden, ' Glass, Hall (Marilyn), Harbison, Hluie, Laing, Poag, and Reynolds. Varsitv Team “Weezee! Stop that ball! ' ’ Page 68 Hockey Came the fall and along with it shin-guards and hockey sticks. Once again it was time to resume the annual hoekev tournament. Each afternoon the class teams practiced vigorously in anticipation of the big event ahead. Yes, the leaves were turning brown, but the girls were turning black and blue, for hockey, as you know, is a rough sport. After attending at least seven practices under the supervision of Millicent Merker, A. A. representa- tive-in-charge, the girls were chosen for the teams. And what teams they were! This battle would equal Waterloo. It was a wet day, November 26, and the players were moving fast— not always on their feet. The Junior- Academy team scored, then the Seniors, then the Junior-Acad- emy team, and again the Seniors. The spectators took time out, but the players continued their fast pace up and down the field. The half was called, and the players relaxed, all except one un- Once again the hockey sticks were placed in their racks and the shin- guards packed away. But the girls were already talking of a bigger and better season next year. Junior-Academy Team: Bialosky, Clayton, Elliott (Eraneys), Font- che, Hewit, Hinkle, Mattison, Pease, Sawhill, Shelt, Wca- thersbee, and Woodall.

Varsity Team “Where’cl it go?” the Junior- Academy team yelled for joy. But wait! One Senior was yelling too! She was not sa d? Ah yes, the lost shoe was found. History repeats itself, and so it was with the second hockey game of the tournament. The Junior- Academy team again defeated the ever fighting Seniors. It was a bad year for the upper-classmen, but the graduating girls took it like “wo- men.” fortunate Senior who searched in vain for a shoe lost in the mud. This was one day when it didn’t pay the Seniors to crawl out of bed, for the Junior- Academy team soon made another score. It was three to two till the final whistle, and Page 69 Tennis LeRuth serves a fast one. The Sulims girls always take time out from work to play a little — or is it vice versa? At any rate, one of our favorite ways of working off those “extra calories is tennis. Now a fast game of tennis in the hot sun may not prove relaxing to everyone, but to us anything that isn ' t assigned as home-work is the thing we most desire to do and get the most pleasure doing. So put us in a pair of shorts, shove a tennis racket in our hand, and we ' re off to the courts for a busy afternoon. Here at S. C., we re given three full-size courts in which to show our skill, provided one doesn ' t shoot for the moon. The boundary lines were freshly painted last spring, so that now we have no excuse for stepping over a line- foiled again! Because of bad weather (the Bristol Chamber of Commerce won ' t like this), our annual doubles tournament was postponed this year till rather late in the fall, but the delay certainly didn’t hamper the fine playing. Nineteen couples signed up for entry, and for several weeks after- wards we ate, slept, and talked tennis. One poor roommate even received a black eye while her be- loved living companion was prac- ticing tennis strokes in bed. The battle was finally narrowed down, however, between LeRuth Jones and Laurie Coffey and Janine Faruolo and Johnnie Lawrence. Their final match was a real thriller. The first set went in favor of Jones and Coffey, but Lawrence and Faruolo returned the favor and won the second. This left the third set to tell the tale. The balls began to move across the net faster and faster. The play- ers moved more precisely than ever. The crowds cheered at their skill. Finally, the last and winning point was made, proving Jones and Coffey the doubles champions for this year. Spring brought the singles tour- nament and more exciting games for those girls who like to swing a racket. Janine Faruolo walked away with the singles championship and proved herself capable of defense against any foe. She swings a mean racket. We might mention also, that participation in these tournaments helped us to win points for our A. A. award. Yes, spring has sprung, fall has fell, and we’re on our way home with tennis racket under arm. When the folks ask, “Dear, what did you learn at college?” we can be pretty sure one of the first answers will be “Tennis!” It ' s ok. iv. Townsend. Bettv’s got it.” We re ready and waiting! Page 70 Basketball A crowded gym, two teams hud- dled around their managers, and cheerleaders yelling their loudest. “What is it?” asks Dr. I. O. “Why, the March basketball tour- nament, of course,” answers any Sulims Susie, and she wins a year’s supply of term papers. ’Tis true we all knew what viva- cious force was shaking the build- ing. For when three tough teams— such as the Senior, Junior, and Academy forces— meet, one can ex- pect a small volcano to erupt. This year’s season opened with a “bang-up” game between the Jun- iors and the Academy. For four quarters the teams fought bravely, but the battle ended in a twelve- to-twelve tie. Next on the agenda came the Junior-Senior game. “Toot” went the whistle, and off went the girls toward that queer little object made of iron and net— which might easily be mistaken for any of the latest chapeaus. The Juniors seemed to score just three points too often for the Sen- iors this day and finished the game with a sixteen-to-thirteen victory. The stout-hearted uppcrclass- women soon redeemed themselves, however, by stomping the Acad- emy. This put us right back where we started, in a three-way tic. Most confusing— From here on, every team was out for blood and victory. The Seniors beat the Juniors, twenty- one to fourteen. Next the Juniors defeated the Academy, and the Seniors, not to be outdone, did likewise. The title now lay between the Juniors and the Seniors, and the final score of their game would decide the victors. The two teams marched on to the floor to the tune of “Volga Boatmen,” while the managers stood tensely blowing their bubble- gum. The spectators were uttering such quaint phrases as “Kill ’em” or “Murder de bums!” The gun sounded. The first half moved swiftly, with both teams playing their best. Finally time-out was called. The girls looked tired, but smiled brave- ly as they sucked on Texas oranges (plug!). Once again the players reassumed their floor positions, and the pres- sure was again on. In the heat of the battle, the gun sounded and the game was over. The score was a tic— twenty-three to twenty-three. This left but one alternative, a play-off which came three days later. The game was another thrill- er, but this time the Juniors beat the Seniors to become basketball champions of the year. Academy Team: Armstrong, Ben- nett, Dabney, Gitchell, Hinkle, and Woodall. Junior Team: Bryan (Betty), Conner, Covington, Foutche, Lentz, Mattison, Molz, and Wea- thersbee. Senior Team: Baker, Champion, Above: “Halt!’ says the Academy.

Page 71 Swimming and Life-Saving Out goes the bad air: in comes the good!” W ater seems to have a verv definite appeal to all Sullins Susies, and they take to the pool like ducks. An Sunday evening after Vespers one may see a chor e of girls head- ing for ve ole swimming hole, and come spring. Lake Sycamore is crowded with women eager for an earh ' tan. As for form, they ' ve got that too. One may name anything from an Australian Crawl to a Back Stroke, and see it accurately performed. But not all our swimming is for pleasure’s sake. Each year standard Bed Cross life-sating courses are offered to girls eager to learn how to save big, strong, drowning males. These courses consist of methods for rescuing victims, including ap- proaches, carries, and forms of re- suscitation. Standard Red Cross certificates are awarded all who survive the course. In the case of the bathing beaut} who never got her bathing suit wet”— she soon learned how at S. C„ for each girl is required to take at least one semester of swimming or to pass the basic swimming test. Mildred Huie, Athletic Associa- tion member-in-charge of swim- ming this year, arranged great plans for the spring meet. Among the outstanding events were the front crawl, form and speed; the back crawl, form and speed; the side stroke, form; the breast stroke, form; relay races; and an old clothes relay in which the girls were required to dress fully and swim the length of the pool read- ing a newspaper. This last event proved quite hilarious, but we don’t recommend it if vou like your paper dry. One mav be sure that the Acad- emy, Junior, and Senior teams were out there fighting for class honors, headed by such star mermaids as Peggy Townsend, Monta Jo Glass, Marjorie Iloak, Juanita Baker, Bar- bara Jean Cason, Pat Hinkle, Joan Shelt, Florence Dabney, and Judv Johnson. The Academy, however, walked away with the top honors for the day. They won the meet, and Betty Sue Jacobs, prominent member of the younger set, was high scorer of the afternoon. The Juniors came in second headed by that energy plus swim- mer, Alma Schmidt, second high scorer, and last came the Seniors. Ah yes, the ever faithful Seniors. Well, at least they deserve “E” for effort. A diving exhibition concluded the day’s program. Such dives as the swan, the jackknife, the back flip, and a half twist were gracefully dis- played by Cynthia Steele, Betty Sue Jacobs, Pat Sawhill, and Monta Jo Glass. The sun was setting as a crowd of water-soaked girls poured out of the pool. All were tired, but not too tired to give a big cheer for the winners — the Academy! Page 72 Riding One may look in any closet at Sullins, and be practically sure of finding some jodhpurs, an old shirt, and a muddy pair of boots (along with a hundred other little items). Yes, you guessed the answer. These girls like the horses. And once more, the horses like the girls. I asked them— the horses. Miss Burrington and Miss Greer, our new riding instructors this year, have done wonders with their citi- fied students, who used to think the only riding ever done was in a convertible with the top down. Dr. Martin kept the stables buzz- ing the first part of this year with afternoon rides for all the girls who wished to take a good look at na- ture. After such occasions, many a meal was eaten off the mantle. Nature played a little rough with the girls. October brought the Horse Ex- hibit. The mares were shown by many girls who before September hadn’t known the front of a horse from the back. But they soon learn- ed the hard way. For the reader’s information, the part of a horse that sticks itself in a bag of feed is the head. Immediately following the ex- hibit, a tea was given in the Iloof- prints Club, and, to coin a phrase, the girls “ate like horses.” The Gymkhana, held in early spring, proved an interesting ex- perience to many of the riders. If one has never tried carrying peas on a knife while bouncing on the back of a frisky, four-legged critter —namely, a horse— one shouldn’t miss it. We won’t guarantee suc- cess, but there will be fun “a plenty.” We couldn’t imagine what was happening when the riders came out dressed in the most comical get-ups imaginable, but we soon learned it was a costume parade. Lee McWilliams, Jane Knaebel, and Dot Cowden were dressed as Arabs, with turbans, beards, and all, while Marilyn Hall, Dot Sheppard, and B. J. Welch represented the Yo- kums “come to town.” Poor Mr. Ingram, representing the faculty riders, had a hard time staying on his horse — minus the saddle. But he wasn’t alone, for many a rider hit the dust — and not feet first. The final banquet held for the riders proved a gala affair. Ve can’t decide which arc the pret- tiest — the horses or the girls? The biggest event of the year— for the horses and the girls— was the annual spring horse show, held the Saturday afternoon before Com- mencement. All the riders— ad- vanced, intermediates, and begin- ners — participated in hopes of bringing home a ribbon. Cups were awarded to the winner of the ad- vanced class and to the beginner making the most progress (with horses) during the year. Coming around the ring on Small Town Girl. “Line them up, girls!” Page 73 OwvJaw ' dM During our year at Sullins, we have, in addition to the many everyday incidents which will be cherished in our memories in years to come, three outstanding features: the Mardi Gras Pageant, sponsored by the Junior Class; the May Festival, sponsored by the Senior Class; and the election of twenty-four outstanding personalities. The Mardi Gras week-end is the biggest week-end of the whole year. It is gay and exciting with parents, alumnae, and dates coming long distances for the occasion. About half the student body actively participates in the Mardi Gras in some form. While working together, many of us make permanent, new friends. On Wednesday night comes dress rehearsal. It is exactly like the actual performance except that after each act pictures arc taken. Also, there is no audi- ence, except those of the faculty and student body who are helping and who have a spare moment to watch. On Thursday night this year, the first performance was given for the benefit of the Bristol Y. W. C. A. building fund. In general, this is the better perform- ance of the two since the performers arc not quite so nervous in front of strangers. Friday night is really the big night. The student body, the faculty, and all the guests attend this per- formance. After the curtain goes down, the leads take their bows, flowers are brought to the stage, and the Court, King, and Oueen march out. Though the May Festival does not have the color of the Mardi Gras pageant, it is a time of ethereal beauty in the classical and Southern tradition. For the Seniors, it is the climax of two happy years of college life. On Friday afternoon at four o’clock, friends, class- mates, and parents gather on the grass steps of the scenic amphitheater to watch the beautiful May Court walk down the ter- race, followed by an even more beautiful Maid of Honor and May Queen. They take their places on the stage, where dance stu- dents present a classic bal let performed in their honor. From the college and the academy, twenty-four girls are selected by popular vote as the “most interest- ing personalities” of the year. These girls, who must meet requirements in de- portment and in academic grades, are nominated and elected by the students as a whole. Mardi Gras is the grand finale of weeks of prepara- tion. Almost every one at Sullins has some part in the Mardi Gras workshop. The art department, the Glee clnb. the dance department, the Court, the stage crew, the make-up group, and the dressers welcome all eager participants. Early in December, the Junior Class nominated a number of Juniors for the honor of being King and Queen of Mardi Gras. From this number, the whole school selected two by popular vote; they were pre- sented at the Junior-Senior banquet. The roval couple were pretty, fair-skinned Carol Dailey and tall, graceful Marilee inerich. The members of the court were chosen after the election. All the Juniors who thought they would like to be in the court went down to the lint one evening. Here they formed groups and walked in a circle around the large room to the accompaniment of piano music. Miss Hardinge, Mrs. Robinson, and Miss Stowe selected the members for appearance, grace, and Franz and Swanilda quarrel over Coppelia. In the third act, the peasants dance with Coppelius. rhythm of movement. Those selected were Nancy Bell, Betty Bryan, Dorothy Bryson, Jean Covington, Helen Longino, Julie Miller, Barbara Mullen, Marilyn MeCormac, Doris Nowell, Conner Powell, Caroline Shaw, and Joan Zimmerman as ladies. Nancy Carlon, Jamilee Copclan, Gina Glanton, Barbara Henley, Carolyn Ann Holman, Patricia Irwin, Alga Masley, Eleanor Porter, Paula Reed, Alma Schmidt, Barbara Scruggs, and Eleanor Sykes as gen- tlemen. Ann Barton and Martha Jo Rutledge were selected as pages. Miss Hardinge chose “Coppelia” as the ballet to be presented. The leads were Dcirdre Laing as Swan- ilda, Joan Negley as Franz, Barbara Jean Cason as Dr. Coppelius, Jody Ogg as Coppelia, Jo Melton as the burgomaster, and Linda Osborne as the lord of the manor. The wedding couples were Kathryn Butt and Willadean Skillcorn, Rachael Webster and Sara Kuhn- ert, Louise Rouse and Norma Crews.

Page 77 Franz and Swanilda make up after their quarrel After tlie selections and plans were all made, every- one started to work; but the big rush came the week before the presentation. The art students completed the scenery and the props. The Glee Club practiced often and long. Make-up practices began. Soon everything was ready for the dress rehearsal, when all the pictures were taken. The big night finally arrived. The stage crew had been at the auditorium all afternoon putting up the scenery. The make-up schedule started early in the afternoon and finished just before dinner. At six- thirty on the dot, every one but the spectators left for Tennessee High School. After Miss Hardinge gave the last-minute instruc- tions, the dressers brought out the racks of costumes so that everyone could dress, act by act. Last-minute touches were put on make-up. Finally everything was ready, the curtain went up. and the music began. The pageant opened with the court processional. First came the pages, then the ladies and gentlemen of the court, two by two, and, finally, the King and Queen. To view the ballet given in their honor, the King and Oueen, with the pages in attendance, seated them- selves upon their thrones at one side of the stage. The ladies and gentlemen of the court, after dancing a charming dance, retired to the orchestra to watch the performance of “Coppelia.” Again the curtain went up. Swanilda appeared, dancing to a life-size doll made by Coppelius. Franz, thinking the doll was real, danced before her, express- ing his love. Then gay peasants rushed in and danced to Hungarian folk music. Fhe burgomaster appeared and announced that the lord of the manor was planning to give dowries to the wedding couples. Swanilda ignored Franz be- cause of his infidelity and danced away with her friends. In the second act, Swanilda and her friends, hav- ing found the key, stole into the toyshop and played with the toys. Franz and Swanilda made up when they found that Coppelia was only a doll. In act three, the peasants of the village danced, and the lord of the manor arrived to give the four Left to right Anne Barton (page), Jean Covington, Gina Glanton, Betty Bryan, Eleanor Porter, Doris Nowell, Jamilee Copelan, Dorothv Bryson, Nancy Carlon, Julie Miller, Carolyn Ann Holman, Caroline Shaw, Alma Schmidt.

' 1 ' he wedding couples climaxed the celebrations with four variations and joined the others in a gay finale. Everyone took a bow, and the leads and Miss Hardinge received flowers. Then the King and Oueen, followed by the ladies and the gentlemen of the court, took part in a stately recessional, and one more Sullins Mardi Gras pageant was over. After the hustle and bustle back stage had subsided, and the performers and friends had gone, the thankless job of closing house remained. Though tired, hungry, and sleepy, the workers packed and cleaned up for the last time. The stage crew took down the scenery and loaded the props on trucks to be taken back to school. The dressers picked up the costumes strewn here and there, labeled and packed them ready to be sent back to the company. The make-up girls, after having just passed out the cold cream and tissues, gathered up their cos- metics. When all the work was finished and the trucks loaded, everyone climbed aboard for home. Girls who helped out on the stage crew were Diana Day, Connie Wheeler, Lucille Edris, Marilyn Hall, Mina Bialosky, Polly Wampler, Barbara Hill, Barbara Molz, Weezee Baker, Joyce Mattison, Edna Lazenby, Jeanne Foutche, Anne Sehrage, Judy Johnson, Dot Cowden, Jean Lentz, and Betty Cellar. Those girls who did the make-up jobs were Sue Ycargin, Katherine Harrison, Lucille Jackson, Sara Kuhnert, Willadean Skillcorn, Marge Iloak, Nancy Ball, Sarah Wilcox, Nancy Belscr, and Jo Nell Amber- son. Carol and Marilce make a regal couple. The dressers were Catherine Champion, Pat Daw- son, Elise Keebler, Katherine Maas, Pat Kay, Jackie Wilson, Alice Hamilton, Jane Shaw, Ettamay Baxley, Barbara Taylor, Betty Smith, Dolores Biscamp, and Betty Beaven.

Their costumes are far more colorful than a black and white photograph can even suggest. Page 79 The May Festival is a tradition at Sullins, almost as old as the college itself. Every year, for the past thirty years, there has been a May fete. The first ones were real May Days, held on the first day of the month. Later, partly because of the weather and partly so that more parents might be guests at the Festival, the date of the Sullins celebration was chang- ed to Friday of Commencement week. The first May Day at the new Sullins was held on the back campus, not far from the site of the new amphitheater. On this occasion, the Oueen and her Maid of Honor rode in a gilded carriage drawn by two white horses. The pages were the drivers. The Court processional is graceful and pretty. In a later year, the Festival was hel d on Lake Sycamore. It was an English pageant, based on the theme of Robin Hood and his merry band of outlaws. That year, of course, there were men’s parts as in the Mardi Gras pageant. The Queen and the members of her court arrived on the scene in boats which the “men” had rowed around the curve of the lake. The remainder of the festivals, except for the last three years, were held on the site of the new library. A big, beautiful old weeping willow made a perfect background for the court and for the dancers. One of the most memorable of these festivals was given in 1937, when the dramatic art department and the dance department cooperated in the production of Shakespeare’s “Midsummer Night’s Dream.” The cast campus seemed the perfect setting for this beau- tiful play. But when plans for the library were made, another location had to be found. So our beautiful new amphitheater was built at the foot of the hill behind the library. Evergreens are planted at the sides and back of the stage, and the scats arc terraced steps on the sides of the hill. Beautiful old elm trees, hundreds of years old, grow on all sides, providing shade for the spectators and adding to the beauty of the scene. This year, as is the custom, the May fete will be sponsored by the Senior Class. Early in the semester, the class nominated Barbara Hill, Frances Moore, Rebecca Prichard, Betty Jane Welch, and Judy Wood After the Court has taken its place, the Queen is crowned by the Maid of Honor. Page 80 for the honor of being May Queen. In the election which followed, every Sulhns student had the privilege of voting. Then the Seniors voted again, this time for the members of the court and the pages. The May Queen this year is tall, dark, lovely Re- becca Prichard. “Becky,” as she is better known, is from Lula, Mississippi. She is a good student and an enthusiastic participant in all college activities. The Maid of Honor is cute, dark-complexioned Frances Moore. Frances is also a true southern belle, having come to Sullins from Mobile, Alabama. In the election sponsored by the state clubs last fall, she was voted Miss Sulhns. The members of the May Court, who must be diploma students in good standing, are Juanita Baker, Martha Jean Boswell, Thelma Buckwalter, Betty Cameron, Barbara Jean Cason, Patricia Clark, Norma Jean Dew. Barbara Hill, Mimi Hoyt, Mildred Huie, Jane Knacbel, Millicent Merker, Lee McWilliams, Jane Osier, Kathleen Scott, Rita Shaw, Dorothy Sheppard, Betty Smith, Libber Smith, Polly Wampler, Betty Jane Welch, Dorothy Willingham, Elsie Wilsford, and Judy Wood. The pages arc Edna Lazenby and Mar- garet Lothrop. Though not so colorful, perhaps, as the March Gras pageant, the May Festival, with its white or pastel costumes against the natural green background, is unusually beautiful. It is held in the late afternoon. The members of the court, preceded by the pages, walk slowly down the hill from the library in pairs. At the top of the terraced steps, they separate and proceed singly to the stage. Then come the Maid of Honor and the Queen, the latter preceded by the flower girls and followed by the train-bearers. The organdy dresses are quite lovely and tradition- ally light and fluffy, with very full skirts and off-the- shoulder necklines. Each pair wears yellow, pink, blue, or pale green. Parasols and gloves arc in match- ing colors. The Queen’s dress this year is very full white organdy. She carries a bouquet of reel roses. The dress of the Maid of Honor, who carries a bouquet of spring flowers, is blue organdy. After curtseying deeply to the Queen, the members of the court sit in a semicircle. Once the court is seated, the Maid of Honor places the crown on the head of the Queen. Then a classic ballet is presented in honor of the Queen and her court. The ballet to be presented this year is based on the second act of Tschaikovsky’s immortal “Swan Dancing in classic costumes, the members of the ballet revea beauty of line and grace of motion. Page 81 Beckv (right) and Frances are our Mav Queen and her Maid of Honor. Lake. The story is of a princess who has been en- chanted. She and her maidens have been turned into swans, but they return to their natural forms at mid- night and dance beside the lake in the moonlight. A young prince and his followers while hunting happen upon the maidens and threaten to harm them but are warded off. The prince falls in love with the princess. Learning that she is under an enchantment, he tries unsuccessfully to break the spell. The leads in the ballet will be Deirdre Laing, Joan N eg ley, Rachael Webster, V ' illadean Skillcorn, Sara Kuhnert, Norma Crews, Kathryn Butt, Louise Rouse, and Nancy Sehusler. The chorus will include Joan Bailey, Nancy Ball, Nancy Bclser, Dorothy Covden, Charmaine Gibson, Vary Jane Green, Virginia Higgins, Marge Iloak, Marilyn Latham, Jean Lentz, Alice Rouse, Kitty Akarcl, Jane Truax. and Ann Weaver. The members of the chorus will wear the traditional ballet-length white net costumes. Tschaikovsky’s music for this ballet is particularly beautiful and appropriate for the occasion. The dancers will be accompanied by the music of the piano and by the Glee Club. Members of the latter organization, who will take part m the program, arc Patsy Akow, Sally Baird, Jean Black, Mary-Alice Blank, Nancy Boone, Carol Boyd, Patricia Buell, Carolyn Camp, Carolyn Carlson, Cor- nelia Cate, Carolyn Clevenger, Jean Cox, Sarah David- son, Ann Davis. Patricia DeBarger, Nancy Downing, Ann Evans, Louise Feulner, Elinor Gcidel, Gladys Going, Aleece Hampton, Ruth Harrison, Mary Hatton, Kathryn Hopkins, Joan Johnson, Sally Jones, Joan Kanaga, Rose Marie Killinger, Johnnie Lawrence, Martha Loveless, Madeline Maben, Mary Jane Martin. The dancers will perform parts of the ballet. The leads will wear the classic white tutus and toe shoes. Louise May, Sally Massengill, Laura McKee, Nancy Paty, Patricia Pease, Louise Rabbage, Teresa Rainero, Page 82 Joyce Reinhardt, Jean Romm, Sally Salisbury, Jo Ellen Sarratt, Patti Sawhill, Barbara Sawyer, Susan Scheele, Dorothy Senter, Peggy Smith, Margaret Stuart, Melba Sykes, Betty Lee Thompson, Ruth Torbett, Mary Walsh, Patricia Walser, and Brenis White. The Glee Club, formally attired, forms a semi- circle to the right hand of the stage next to the piano. Led by Mr. Kreincr and accompanied by Miss Bailey, the chorus this year will sing “A May Morning” by Dcnza as the court promenades down the hill and again during the coronation. Mrs. David Cooper has in previous years played the accompanying music on the piano for the Mardi Gras and May Festival performances. This year, for the first time, the accompaniment will be the recording of “Swan Lake” by the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra played over a loud speaker system. The “Triumphant March” by Greig, which is to be played for the Queen’s entrance, will be played by Mrs. Cooper. The five smallest children in the ballet department arc chosen to participate in the Festival, two as train bearers, two as crown bearers, and one as flower girl. The little girls wear long, pastel-colored marquisette dresses. Some of the variations from “Swan Lake” to be presented arc the original choreography by Petipa, the greatest of the choreographers of the Classic period. Because of the requirement for male roles, the entire ballet will not be performed as in the original, but in- stead, will include variations done by the eight soloists with the corps dc ballet. The first variation will be the “Voyage of Swans” danced by Joan Ncgley, Sara Kuhnert, and the corps dc ballet. The second variation will be the “Cygncttes” danced by Deirdre Laing, Rachael Webster, Nancy Schusler, and Kathryn Butt. The “Pas de Trois” will be third with Willadcan Skillcorn, Nancy Schusler, and Kathryn Butt. The fourth variation on the program will be the “Swan Oueen Solo” danced by Joan Ncgley. Next, will be the very difficult “Waltz” done by Deirdre Laing. “Pas d’Action,” the sixth variation, will be executed by Rachael Webster. Norma Crews will dance the “Mazurka.” “The Dance of the Swans” will include all the eight soloists; the corps de ballet with the solo- ists will conclude the performance in the “Grand Waltz.” When the program of music and dancing is over, the spectators will stand while the Queen and her court walk slowly up the terrace. For the Class of 1948— and for many others— the Sulims May Festival will have become a beautiful memory. b irst Row (left to right): Jane Knaebel, Mary Elizabeth Smith, Norma Jean Dew.

Gome on, you can’t go back to sleep, it’s a quarter after seven now. “Yeah, I’m getting up, but I’m so sleepy. Tonight I ' m going to go to bed early. Is Lee still in the bath- room? Oops, I dropped the tooth paste. “Where did I leave my comb? I must have left it in Nancy’s room when I put my hair up in there last night. Becky, toss me my skirt, will ya? Oh, where are my shoes? I can’t find anything this morning. Come on, let’s go or we won’t get a scat. “Save me a scat. I’m going to run by the mail box first. “Excuse us, please. Come on, Sara. It’s ten of eight, and I want to finish dressing before chapel. Maybe we can get our beds made too. “Today is current event day. I wonder what Or. Martin will want debated. Back to the room. We have a few minutes be- fore first period. Let’s listen to the Breakfast Club. I wish Mrs. Jones wouldn’t cheek this morning. Clothes everywhere — I think I’ll invent an automatic hanger-upper. “Light me a cigarette, Elsie. They’re on my desk. Maybe I can finish it before the bell rings. Oh, well, it won’t make much difference if I’m a few minutes late for class. “Bye, Nancy. Get the mail if it is up, will ya? “My gosh, a pop quiz, and I didn’t do my Psych homework. Half the period is gone. That was a killer. Psst, Link, let’s go to the Hut when this class is over. I ' d love a good cup of coffee. “Did you get a letter? Lucky— what did he say? Never mind, tell me when we get to the Hut. The bell . . . Come on, let’s go. “Just a minute, Jane. Let me throw my Tommies in the closet, and I’ll be right with you. I don’t know what I would do if I couldn’t go to the Hut every morning— other than save money, that is. “Hi, Ruth. How about a chocolate milkshake? Just a bag of potato chips, a chicken sandwich, a Heath bar, and a pack of cigarettes— I guess that will be all this time, Hester. “I hope you brought my Spanish book, Mary Alice. I have to finish my translation. A game of bridge— oh, I’d love to! “Hey, Cam, play “The Best Things in Life arc Free.’’ Gee, I’m just about broke again. “This will have to be the last hand, kids; it’s time for the bell. Can you imagine? I didn’t get my Spanish homework done. What will lie say— quel dommage? No, that’s French, isn’t it? “Docs Mr. Ingram honestly think that motorcycle of his will get him to Mexico? It sure better, or he won’t have anything to talk about. “Now to read my mail. Mother says Jean is get- ting engaged. There sure must be a bug in the air. Oh, Si, Senor, Si. “Fourth period is here at last. I’m sure glad there’s only one more to go, ’cause I’m starving to death. “Well, that class went in a hurry. Elbe, did you sign us up for town this afternoon? 1 completely forgot to. Did Frances put her date permission in? Jack will be mad if she didn’t, now that she has her C average. “I wish I had time for a cigarette, but I’ve got to go. I’ll see you after Hygiene. I wish it weren’t so hot in here. I’m about to go to sleep. “Lunch is here at last. Hurry with grace, Mrs. Jones. I’m about to die, I’m so hungry. Milk please, Perry. “How was Mr. Knox in accounting, Carol? On the ball as ever, I suppose. “Pass the tangerines, please, Ann. Let’s go have a hand of bridge before we go to town . . . Page 84 “These beds don’t make such good tables. What do you say we go to the Hut? Mike has a gym class and can’t go to town until 2:30 anyway. “I wonder if the afternoon mail is up yet. We can pick it up on the way back if it’s not. “Let’s get some food for tonight before we start to play. I think a loaf of bread, a can of Vienna sausage, and some chicken noodle soup will be enough, don’t you, Jean? Tell Dec to go ahead and deal the cards. I want to get a coke first. Want one, Ernie? “There go Cason and Pat again. I just love to watch those two dance and cut the fool. They ought to go into business— such entertainment and such cards. Pass. “What’s all the gab about today? All these people getting pinned and getting engagement rings make me feel like an old maid. “Nan is leaving. We’re all going to miss her so. Jamilee is a full-fledged senior now. Big weekends arc coming up at V. P. I. and Virginia. Good old Charlottesville — we passed through there driving Poagie’s Chcvie back. “How the time flies. If we’re going to town, we had better hurry. We don’t have time to go to the show, but we can go to Trayer’s and get something to cat. Oh yes, let’s buy a carton of cokes, too. We can take some of those bottles back that we have upstairs. “I haven’t got a thing to wear. What are you going to wear, Mary Lou? I guess I’ll wear the usual thing, a blouse and scarf, or maybe a sweater. “Let’s hurry. George ought to be back in a few minutes. He just left a little while ago with a load. Good. Here he comes. I can hear the old Ford chugging up the hill . . . Trayer’s, George. “Well, Nick, what’s on the menu today? Nothing fattening, of course. I think I’ll have a fudge cake and a cup of coffee. I’d love to have some french fries, but I couldn’t possibly eat a whole order myself. “Well, look who’s here. There’s Leah, Peggy, and Norma Jean, and all the Lodge. Tom, John, and Rady just breezed in. “Nick, bring me an order of french fries and another cup of coffee. “It’s five o’clock already. We had better leave. Let’s go up to Cole’s and then catch a cab. “I wonder what we are going to have for dinner. Come to think of it, today is Thursday, so we ll have chicken and ice cream. “What is Tina leaving early for? It must be her night on the switchboard. “Let’s go get weighed after dinner, Monkey. We’ll sec if our diets are doing us any good. I’m going to give up if I don’t hurry and lose some weight. I don’t see how Kcclc does it. “Don’t forget to turn Perry Como on. He’s going to sing Temptation tonight. “There’s the study hall bell. Hello, Airs. Jones. I’m going down to the library for a few minutes. I’ll check with you when I get back . . . “I think I’ll take my bath now and avoid the ten o’clock rush. I’ll have plenty of time to do my home- work tomorrow. “You had better turn the radio down a little, Jackie. Mrs. Jones might hear it . . . “Study hall is almost over, so let’s start fixing the soup. I think Sue left the hotplate under the bed . . . “We had better get back to our room before the eleven o’clock bell, Judy, because Mrs. Jones might check again. “Today has really been a busy one. I’ll be glad when this week-end comes, so I can get some rest. I think I’ll take a church cut and sleep all morning. I probably should write my report for Miss Shinn, but I’ll do that some other time. “Come on, kids, let’s get to bed. Remember we have to be on time for Chapel tomorrow to vote for the Personalities.” Page 85 Marii. YN Maukle One of flic cute and popular girls at the Lodge is Mimi Hoyt. She is a sweet little “wheel who always has an amusing remark for everyone. There is not a minute during the day when one may not see her laughing. Mimi is interested in art, particularly fashion de- sign, and plans to continue her work at Parsons in New York next year. Marilyn Markle, one of the best-liked girls in the Academy, has been at Sulims for three years. “Mike,” who has traveled all over the country, is going to Honolulu after graduation. Mike is very lovable and cute with those big brown eyes and angelic face. She is a capable and con- scientious president of the Academy. If it is a Hoosier one is looking for, we have our old timer, Betty Poag. Poagie, who has been here for three years, has been a dependable and capable leader at all times. President of her class in her Junior year, she is now president of the Student Council. Poagie is interested in public relations and plans to take it as her major at Middlebury College. Betty Ann Poag Page 86 Hailing from the deep south is our pretty Southern belle, Rebecca Prichard, popularly called “Beekv.” Here is a girl who has good looks as well as brains and real athletic ability. Becky, the May Oueen this year, was in the Mardi Gras Court in her Junior year. She has played varsity basketball both years. Becky is also a conscientious worker; she is advertising manager of the Sampler. Our Senior Class President, Polly Wampler, is a real leader, tactful and agreeable. She is understand- ing and always willing to listen to the problems of her fellow classmates. Polly is a member of the May Court. She is from Missouri and plans to go to college in St. Louis to become a mortician. Jody Ogg is this semester’s choice for Junior Class president.

After she leaves Sullins, she is planning to go to Ohio State and study fashion design. Becky Priciiard Polly Wampler Jody Oc.c. Page 87 Marilyn McCormac Barbara Hill Marilyn McCormac is a typical Southern girl— pokey her friends say, but they all love her. She is very easygoing and good-natured. Marilyn is a music major, and we all enjoy hearing her play the piano. She is planning to continue in music but is undecided where she will go for training after she graduates from Sulims. One of Tennessee’s own, Barbara Hill is as pretty as she is friendly and good-natured. She radiates cheerfulness and loves to play. She is very much interested in science and plans to be a mortician. Barbara is a valuable girl to her school in that she is not only secretary of the Senior Class but also president of the Home Economics Club. Jean Covington, or “Covie” as she is better known, does not have her beauty mark for nothing. She is one of Sulhns’ most attractive girls, and was a lovely ad dition to the Mardi Gras Court. Covie has for three years been a leader among her classmates. She plans to continue her music train- ing. A great lover of sports, Jean is active in basketball and treasurer of the Athletic Association. Jean Covington Page 88 Juanita Baker, known to all her classmates as “Weezee,” is one of Sullins’ most outstanding leaders. Her enthusiastic interest and ability in 2 11 kinds of sports make her the ideal president of our Athletic Association. She is also our “Mirror Girl.” Weezee is peppy, vivacious, and unusually generous. She is planning to go to the University of Alabama next year to become an X-Ray technician. Another alias in our midst is Camilla Foil, known to everyone as “Mickey.” Crazy, jovial Mickey is the prize comedian of the Academy. She is at her best when she is entertaining with her take-offs. Mickey is a good student and has served well as treasurer of the Academy. When she is not working, one will always find her at the I Iut jitterbugging. One of Sullins’ best all-around girls is our good neighbor from Trinidad, June Clni. Everyone loves her for her vivacious, energetic, and scatter-brained nature. She loves sports, particularly tennis, which she plays from morning until night when the weather is right. June is majoring in home economics. Camilla Foil Juanita Baker June Ciiu Page 89 Daphne Ellis W hen she is up on the Hill, Daphne Ellis is a prize representative of the home town of Sullins. Daphne is an outstanding student, industrious as well as friendly and cordial. You cannot possibly miss that cute pug nose and unusual voice in any classroom or at the stables. She won first place in the intermediate class at the Com- mencement horse show last June. Barbara Jean Cason, better know by any one of her flood of nicknames, is one of the most versatile girls in the school. “B. J. has shown exceptional ability as a leader in both her years here at Sullins. “Casey” is a perpetual comedian, and we all enjoy her antics and songs at the Hut parties. She is par- ticularly interested in radio and dramatics. Patricia Irwin was the Junior Class President in her first semester. She is a progressive leader, a good mixer, and easily adapted to any situation. She has found social work very much to her liking and plans to go into the field as her future work. Pat is also one of the most attractive girls in her class. She is tall, dark, and graceful and made a very good-looking gentleman in the March Gras Court. Barbara Jean Cason Patricia Irwin Page 90 If you have noticed that fair-complexioned, sandy- haired lassie, you know she is Carol Dailey. This year, Carol is our choice for March Gras Oueen, since she is one of the prettiest Juniors on the campus. This is Carol’s second year at Sullins, for she at- tended one year in the Academy before entering the College. Another Northerner who finds the South much to her liking is cute Rita Shaw. She is from New York, but plans to remain in the South after her marriage. Ricky has been class cheerleader for two years and is president of the Paint and Palette Club. One of the many popular girls at the Lodge, she is well liked for her wonderful, laughing disposition. Tall, stately Judy Wood has won her place in the Senior Class as an exceptional leader. She also did much to make the new Juniors feel at home. Judy has been vice-president of her class in both her Junior and Senior years. She was also a member of the March Gras Court, and the May Court, a 1946- ’47 personality, and our princess at the Apple Blossom Festival. Rita Shaw Carol Dailey Judy Wood Page 91 I ' tiH I Kathryn Butt Those pretty brown eyes that are always wrinkled with a smile belong to another one of our Georgia belles. On the roster, she is listed as Kathryn Butt, but to all her friends, she is “Snookie.” After Snookie graduates from Sullins, she is plan- ning to go to the University of Alabam a. Being very talented in ballet, she took outstanding parts in the Mardi Gras and May Festival performances. M innie Weathersbee is one of Sullins’ most out- standing athletes. She not only has served as a mem- ber of the Athletic Association Board, but has also played on the varsity teams in hockey and soccer and has been captain of the Junior basketball team. Minnie, who is from Texas, plans to go to Texas University. She always has a smile for her many friends. The third-floor seniors know her as “Legs,” but to all the rest of us, she is “Mildew. Mildred Huie is one of the most friendly girls in our school. Mildred is very much interested in radio and speech, and is president of the Radio Workshop. She plans to go back to her home state, Georgia, and attend the university. Mildred IIuie Minnie Wea thersbee A Page 92 One of Georgia’s finest contributions to Sullins is that cheerful little eyeful, Betty Bryan. You cannot miss her— she is the cute little girl with the gray streak in the hair. She is the type of girl who knows everyone and does everything. She was on the Honorary Varsity Basketball team, a member of the Mardi Gras Court, and the vice-president of the Junior Class. Lee McWilliams is a shining example of an all- round girl. Energetic and ambitious, Lee is on the go from morning until night. She is a member of the Radio Workshop and the Hoofprints Club, and is president of the Sullins Players. Lee was a guard on the varsity basketball team of 1948. She is a natural comedian and considered the “Card” of third-floor senior. One of the most striking as well as talented of our classmates is Gina Clanton. She made her debut in Bristol in the well-portrayed role of Alice in “Alice in Wonderland.” Gina, who has an unselfish and excitable nature, is very conscientious about her work and particularly enthusiastic about assisting her friends. She was in the Mardi Gras Court. Lee McWilliams Betty Bry ' an Gina Glanton Page 93 When we entered the doors of Sullins last fall- more than four hundred of us— we assumed our respective titles of an Academy girl or a college Junior or Senior. It is true that we are divided into three classes here; yet this division is in name oulv, for in spirit we are one group. There have been many things to tie us together, but the common experiences which we have shared have had the greatest unifying effect. In both academic and social activities we have been in close contact with one another. From that first class to Daisy Chain, we have worked and played side by side. Many lasting friendships have grown out of our association with one another at our get-acquainted party at the Hut. This was our first social event of the year, and we took full advantage of it to meet every one that we possibly could. It was during “Rat Week” that many of the Juniors learned the names of all one hundred twelve Seniors. The climax came after Rat Court with a I Iut party, when the two college classes joined together in singing songs of friendship. The following Sunday flic Senior Class entertained the Junior class with a reception. Then we realized that we were truly united in spirit. Later, just before the Christmas holidays, the Juniors held a banquet in honor of the Seniors. As one group we have attended the many lectures and concerts which have been presented in Bristol. I ogether wc have gone to teas. And who could forget the dances! Nights spent at the Hoofprints Club house and afternoons spent at the I Iut will long stand out in our memories, because both of these have been favorite gathering places for us all. If is in these places that wc have played, feasted, and, often just talked with our friends. Although our ways will soon part, in our memories wc shall always be together. In the years to come we shall remain in contact with many of the friends that we have made at Sullins. In all parts of flic United States and even in foreign countries, our strongest friendships will still live. Picnics in the fall and again in the spring— these arc among our most enjoy- able occasions. Each one is eagerly awaited, especially the one at the Osborne’s when the dogwood is in full bloom.

From the very beginning the Academy got into full swing with the old girls giving a helping hand to the frightened new girls in every way from hanging curtains to find- ing practice rooms. “Mouse Night” was T HE night!

For the first time in our history the Academy had the distinction of having its own student council. We chose Shirley Smith, Sally Codv, Mary Walsh, Pat Hinkle, Gladys Going, and, as president, Adclc Woodall. The faculty advisers were Miss Liles, Miss Sanford, and our own Academy sponsor. Miss Gregg. One day in November the Acad- emy, hustling and bustling with ex- citement, was found preparing for the traditional “open house.” Every- one was sweeping, washing, waxing, and taking a minute out now and then for admiring the results. The faculty and students turned out in great numbers, eating the refresh- ments we served and praising our efforts. As Christmas drew near, we all engaged in customary shopping for Seated (left to right): Paty, Markle, Foil. Standing: Osborne, Baird, Read. The Academy officers planned a very successful vear. i the underprivileged children for whom we played Santa Claus; and then we left for our own home fires to await Santa’s visit to us. Christmas vacation and dreaded exams over, we were all put on dif- ferent committees in preparation for the Academy banquet. Seeing the white candles intertwined with ivy and the girls entering in their dinner dresses of many beautiful colors, we realized that we belonged in a group that we had grown to cherish as we would every precious memory of Sulims’ li fe. We enjoyed the entertainment as did our honored guests: Dr. and Mrs. Martin, Dean and Mrs. Metts, Mr. and Mrs. William Martin, Miss Gregg, Miss Loyless, Miss Gilliam, Miss Virginia Sanford, Miss Hum- phrey, Miss Shinn, Miss Mathews, Miss Wilkerson, Mrs. Wall, Mrs. Boggess, Miss Milbrandt, Miss Liles, and Miss Guthrie. Soon plans for the long antici- pated Academy dance were under- way. With true “school spirit” there was a girl to be found on the end of every streamer as we decorated. The dance was a terrific success with every girl doing her part to see that we had no “bov” wall flowers. During the early days of April the topic of conversation was who was writing what for the Academy issue of the Reflector. It seems that we had much undiscovered talent in our midst, for we put out a very lively issue with the help of Miss Loyless. Before we knew it. May was upon us with last-minute preparations for the Senior luncheon. The under- classmen paid tribute in this way to the graduating class. At the last meeting, held at the Hut, Marilyn presented farewell gifts to Miss Gregg, class sponsor, and to Mrs. Wall and Miss Wilker- son, hostesses. Sad girls with tear- Page 99 Front row: Cox.

The night before graduation we held our impressive candlelight cere- mony, where in song we passed on our traditions to the underclassmen and they sang to us of how much they would miss us. On May 29 in the picturesque amphitheater, the seniors, wearing long white dresses and carrying bouquets of red roses, received their diplomas from Dr. Martin. We, the class of 1948, with hearts full of love, sadly leave our class- mates, Miss Gregg, Miss Loyless, our other teachers, and our second home — Sullins. —Barbara Howard — Adele Woodall Left to right: Morrison, Dryden, Baird, Salisbury, Foil, Osborne, Woodall and Siielt.

J l J, vimorS As the bus filled with weary girls drove up the hill, we caught our first glimpse of our new home. From that moment, a feeling of pride was borne in our hearts. “This is Sullins!” we shouted as we leaped off the bus, and ran up the front steps. We were here — at Sullins. That first Hut party. Lake Day, and Mrs. Martin’s lovely tea helped us to get acquainted with everyone and to feel that we were a part of Sullins. Those first few weeks will never be forgotten. Wc were busy every minute getting our rooms fixed up, learning what all the bells were for, remembering when we had classes, trying not to get lost, and, above all, trying to remember everyone’s name. Before wc knew if, the first dance rolled around and that Saturday afternoon was spent in deciding what to wear, curling our hair, bor- rowing things from our friends, and wringing our hands at the thought of breaking on boys. However, that night wc found out it wasn’t as bad as we had thought it would be — in fact, we all had a wonderful time at that first dance. With the patient help and guid- ance of our sponsor. Miss Bess Ava Guthrie, we soon organized and elected our class officers — Pat Ir- win, president; Betty Bryan, vice- president; Marilyn Latham, secre- tary; Shirley Rester, treasurer; and Ruth Irwin, social chairman. The first project of our class offi- cers was laying plans for the new junior kitchen. It seemed to be completed in no time. Wc have all spent many good times up there preparing all the special dishes that Mom always made for us. Those of us who can cook entertain our friends at suppers there. One night, as we were sitting down to dinner, the whole senior class marched into the dining room in black dresses and with very Left to right: Carlon, Lentz, Holmes, and Reynolds. I’lie girls have many good times in their new kitchen. The candlelight installation of the junior officers and student council members was very effective. Page 106 solemn faces. Immediately we knew that this was the beginning of Rat Week. The tiling we had been dreading actually turned out to be a lot of fun; after Rat Court on Saturday afternoon, we realized that this one week had brought us much closer to the seniors and that they were all wonderful girls. Following Rat Week was the lovely Senior-Junior Reception at which the seniors entertained us royally. Enjoying this so much, we were determined that the Junior- Senior Banquet would be successful in honoring them. The night of that event everyone was eager to see who our king and queen of Mardi Gras would be. When Marilee Winerich and Carol Dailey came through our mystic ball, again our hearts filled with pride. After Christmas vacation, there was a lot of excitement over the new photographs, fraternity pins, and fur coats. But then the realiza- tion of the coming exams hit us all, and once again we settled down to studying. We all appreciated Miss Guthrie’s marvelous suggestion of serving coffee and cocoa in the junior kitchen during exam w ' eek. With the new semester came three new members to our class: Joyce Dawson, Mary Ellen Thomp- son, and Elaine Carnahan. Once again it was time to elect officers. This time Jody Ogg was elected our president; Marilyn MeCormac, vice-president; B. J. Scruggs, secretary; Marilyn Vandi- vere, treasurer; and Carolyn Ann Holman, social chairman. In February the main event on the Junior Calendar took place— Mardi Gras. The pageant and the ball were simply marvelous. Marilee and Carol, with a court of other beautiful juniors, made everyone’s heart skip a beat when they entered the ballroom at the General Shelby. Spring vacation came and passed and in no time at all Junior Week w ' as upon us. We all enjoyed our preview of next year. Before we knew it, time for those greatly dreaded exams was here again. It seemed even harder to study earnestly when we could look out our windows and see the seniors, who had already finished their exams, having a big time. The Daisy Chain was beautiful and so effective that we all had chills up our spines. Graduation ex- ercises were inspiring and memor- able. So ended our first year at Sulims on the hill. It was one that will live in our memories always — the happy moments, the many new friend - ships, and the new experiences will Top to bottom : Mary Thompson, Joyce Dawson and Elaine Carnahan enter the Junior class in February. serve to keep Sulims ever in our hearts. — Marilyn Latham, ’49 Page 107 Caroline Adams El Dorado, Arkansas j ' i : Evelyn Alexander Dublin, Georgia Patricia Anderson Jamestown, New York Avis Asay Washington, D.

Now after such a short time we are graduating, and it is only natural that we look back over the happy days we have spent here. We a 1,1 remember those first few weeks when we were busy getting settled m our new home and mak- ing new friends. At Mrs. Martin’s lovely tea that first Sunday we had an opportunity to become acquainted with the teachers. Soon afterwards, with the help of the seniors, we began to feel completely at home in our new surroundings. We were all a little bewildered that first night of Rat Week, when the seniors marched through the dining room in their black dresses. Tp -JT L 1 - T!j t.eft to right. Wood, Merkf.r, Wampler, Wilcox, and Hill. Tilt 1 Senior Class officers look forward to the future. However, now that we look back, we realize that Rat Week really was a lot of fun and that it helped im- mensely in bringing the juniors and seniors closer. It was about this time that we started making plans for re- turning the next year, when we would be seniors. At our Junior-Senior banquet we were eager to see who our March Gras king and queen would be. When Virginia Beeland, queen, and Nancy Morris, king, came down the chimney we were all delighted. After Christmas vacation and semester exams were over, we all started making plans for March Gras. This being our big event of flic year, we all worked hard to make it a success. The spring prom, for which Jan Garber played, was another important event. Daisy Chain and Commencement finally came, and we found our- selves tearfully saying “Good-bye” and “See you next fall.” « Page 126 soon Christmas vacation and first semester exams had come and gone. Now we were entering our last sem- ester at Sullins. February brought the excitement of Mardi Gras. If seemed just like old times having so many of the old girls back. The time seemed to be passing all too quickly now, and we began to dread the time when we would be leaving each other. No matter where we might be next year, it couldn’t be the same as our happy days at Sullins. We began to cherish each moment that we had together — those serenades on the ramp, sun- bathing at the rock quarry, parties at the Hut, bridge games, and many other unforgettable occasions. Here at Sullins wc had met girls from all parts of the United States and from several foreign countries. We would always remember these wonderful friends, even though we might never sec them again. Now we realized more than ever how very much Sullins had meant to us and what a great inspiration Hr. and Mrs. Martin and all the faculty and staff had been. Although we sing “Farewell Sullins,” we know that Sullins will always be with us in our memories. “Goodnight, young ladies.” Joyce, Ann, and Tina enjoy the new radio in the Student’s parlor. And then it was September again. This time we left home eagerly, anxious to see all our friends and talk over the happenings of the summer. Feeling very important as seniors, we did our best to help the juniors get settled. Part of getting ac- quainted with the juniors was “Rat Week.” Remember how dignified wc tried to be and what good sports the juniors were? Our capable 1 eaders — Pol 1 y Wampler, president, Judy Wood, vice-president, Barbara Hill, secre- tary, Millicent Merkcr, treasurer, and Sara Wilcox, social chairman— along with our hostess, Mrs. Jones, and our sponsor, Miss Milbrandt, soon had our class running smoothly. We seniors enjoyed the Junior- Senior banquet a great deal. The juniors did a wonderful job of carry- ing out their theme — the mystic ball.
