Kent Balls (Elizabeth Franke, ' 13) Mrs. Margaret Grant, ' 15 Founded in 1910, the Alumnae Association has become one of the most outstanding and influential organizations at Sweet Briar. Its purpose is to further the well-being of the College, its graduates and former students, by increasing the interests of its members in the College and in each other. This aim is well fulfilled in that the Alumnae Association is a real link in the chain of Sweet Briar tradition, binding together those who have been a part of the College in the past and those who now study here in the bond ol common effort toward one ideal. On December 28 each year seventy-eight Sweet Briar Clubs in the United States and fourteen Asso- ciations in foreign countries celebrate Sweet Briar Day. These groups gather to discuss the Sweet Briar of the past, the present and the future. Also in connection with the Association is the presentation of the Manson Memorial Scholarship in memory of Mr. N. C. Manson, a member of the first Board of Directors. The award is made annually to a Sweet Briar student in recognition of academic excellence and extra-curricular leadership. The recipient of the scholarship this year was Ann Nivison Bradford Parks, of Lynnhaven. Virginia. Hugh S. Worthington B.A..

' - - :Jf ' , OF THE CLASS OF ' 39 CLARICE PLEASANCE BAILEY Wilmington, N. C. English If you ' ve wondered what a real, live genius is like, allow us to introduce you to Clarice. Her astounding mental powers are well-balanced by a superb sense of humor, unaffected friendliness, and a healthy passion for outdoor exercise, notably in the form of riding, tennis, and anything to do with the lake. Her particular talent lies in the writing of truly exquisite poetry. Her favorite poet is Shelley, and she ' s fond of India ' s love lyrics as well. She professes a partiality for beaches, showers, sailors, and rabbits, and she ' s all for New York week-ends anytime. She is poetry editor of the Brambler. and secretary-treasurer of the English Club. MARGARET BALLARD Churchland, Ya. Sociology and Economics We hear rumours of red roses on two-week anniversaries! Hum, welfare work must not be all she s interested in. But she doesn ' t let social activities at V. M. I. or Virginia Beach interfere with her high standard in the classroom or with varied extra-curricular activities, including the NeWi. the Vice-Presidency of the Sociology and Economics Club and membership in the International Relations and German Clubs. PATRICIA GOODWIN BALZ University, Va. Art No dance set at the University (of Virginia) would be complete without Patty, or the girl with the golden oice and the charming smile. Her popularity was recognized by membership in Q.V., while her talent and training have fitted her excellently to the Head of Dancing. Paint and Patches, Choreography, Inter- national Relations and the Classical Club have also benefited by her ability. MARY ELIZABETH BARGE Atlanta, Ga. Latin The minute you see her you know she ' s in May Court — after all, she ' s been part of it from her Freshman year right on through. But that isn ' t all. Sweet Briar soon found out that Barge would do any job well, from studies — she was a Junior Honor Student — to extra-curricular responsibility. She ' s the Clas- sical Club ' s President, besides being on the Orientation and Social Committees, Vice-President of the Senior class, one of those gay Aints and Asses gals, and an industrious proof reader for the Neri ' s. - r OF THE CLASS OF ' 39 ■ ' • :%i! ' cfclJ ' ELIZABETH BARNES Washington, Conn. Art Art — Art — Art is Barnsy ' s love and her forte, obviously the Studio Club chose well in making her its President, for she sketches and sculpts, and obligingly and expertly makes posters for every cause that solicits her talented aid. She belongs to the Friends of Art, and on the other hand, her love of music evinces itself in the Glee Club and the Music Club. In addition to all that, she finds time for the German and Classical Clubs. SARAH WALKUP BELK Charlotte, N. C. History and Government Dark, bright-eyed and pretty, Sarah has a seemingly incongruous, yet well-developed capacity for busi- ness. That talent combined with a knack for clothes seems to prophesy a big career in the world of fashion. She certainly applies her clothes-sense to her own wardrobe, for what she wears and the way she wears it are always just right. Week-ends she likes best are those in New York, Washington, and Charlotte, while here on campus her main interests are the German Club and the Sociology and Economics Club. ANNE BENEDICT Short Hills, N. J. Modern Languages She ' s not just fun, she ' s capable: and she ' s not just capable, she ' s versatile; and that ' s not all. she ' s oh so likable! Distinguished service first as Busmess Manager of the 1938 Briar PaTCH and that of the Aden ' s have merited Benedict recognition by membership in Tau Phi her Senior year. Her energies have been constructive in many channels: four foreign language clubs, the Social Committee, Finance Committee, Board of Control. Inn Committee, a class office and initiation into Aints and Asses and Chung Mung constitute the many activities which have helped make her college career outstanding. LEILA FRANCES BOND Pittsburgh, Pa. Psychology It ' s quite a feat to be little and cute and sophisticated all at once, but that ' s just what Leila is. Her preference for the Biltmore is indicative of her general savoir-faire, as is her taste for New ork and all that goes with it. She ' s an enthusiastic aviatrix, and building Paint and Patches scenery is another of her hobbies, and activity demanding agility and stamina, to say the least, as are her pet occupations of Danish Gvm and walking. Leila belongs also to the German Club. OF THE CLASS OF ' 39 SUSAN MARY BOUTELL Washington, D. C. International Affairs How lucky for Sweet Briar that Susette transferred to us her Junior year! Her intellect as well as her personality made a place for her immediately, and we are happy to claim this sports-loving lass as a Briarite. It was more than the sound of her name that gained her the honor of belonging to the Alliance Fran(;aise, while Internationa! Relations has found her an excellent Vice-President. MARY DICKINSON BROWN Denver, Col. English It ' s got to be colorful, says Polly, and she ' s as vital a person as that remark suggests. She ' s a hit in New Haven and loves New York, but she can and does get down to hard work when that is the order of the day. Her achievements are well demonstrated by the fact that she was Business Manager of the Brambler. Assistant Editor of the 1938 Briar Patch, and a member of Aints and Asses, as well as of the English Club. MARY FRANCES BUCHANAN Durham, N. C. History She ' s a tar-heel born and a tar-heel bred, but she ' s the sort of person who gets along superbly any- where, from Chapel Hill and Duke to Sweet Briar and all the way to far-off Scotland, where she spent her Junior year. Her friendlmess and charm have made her everybody ' s friend, while her capable work as Assist- ant Editor of the A ' cD ' s, on the Social and Church Committees, and in the German Club helped to bring her this year, the honor of membership in Tau Phi, of which she is Vice-President. ELIZABETH HALDEMAN CAMPBELL Louisville, Ky. Religion Betsy ' s is the sort of personality that makes anyone a better person just to ha e known her. The fact that she has been one of the most prominent girls in the entire student body has not detracted from her naturalness and unfailing warm cordiality. Her hobbies are poetry and piaro, while in the sports world she goes in for tennis, swimming and riding. High spiritual qualities, consistent optimism of out-look, and the pep and drive that get things done have fitted her perfectly for her position as President of Y. W. C. A. Taken into Tau Phi her Junior year, she became the society ' s secretary-treasurer. She was House President of Reid the same year and belonged to the Advisory and College Councils. In addition, she has been a Q.V., a member of Orientation and the Bramhlcr Staff, Secretary-Treasurer of the French Club, and Captain of the Lacrosse Team. OF THE CLASS OF ' 39 ELIZABETH LORD CHENEY Bdrrington, 111. English First of all, one notices Betty ' s strikingly lovely eyes. They ' re dark, amazingly large, and capable of speaking the proverbial volumes. She has a passion for poetry — her favorites being the Rubaiyat and Ferdinand (she believes in variety all right!) — and her interest takes a constructive turn in her hobby of verse-writing. For socialiting she picks New York as her favorite spot, while the recreations she likes best are dancing, tennis and archery, — oh yes, and washing her beloved Brooks sweaters. As to her non-academic interests, her propensity for things literary serves her in good stead on the Brambler Staff and in the English Club. HENRIETTA COLLIER Atlanta, Ga. Psychology Masculine hearts flutter at the sight of that dainty blonde beauty. Hennie ' s animation and charm of her personality make her an asset, as well as a decoration, to any party. Even as a Freshman her good looks were so outstanding that she was chosen by May Court to be one of the first two from her class to be in its ranks. She has the unique combination of beauty and brains, too, for she was a Junior Honor Student. Poise, efficiency, and the faculty of making strangers feel happily at ease made her an ideal head of the Orientation Committee, as well as a useful member of the Social Committee. She ' s a Chung Mung, holds the position of Club Editor on the Aden ' s Staff, and is a member of the Y. W. Cabinet, the Advisory Council, .Aints and Asses and the Student-Faculty Relations Committee. ELSIE SAUNDERS DAY Danville, Va. International Affairs She likes brass Buttons, which makes it mutual, because Annapolis claims many of her week-ends. During the week, though, she is a very useful daughter of the Briar Patch, for she is Secretary of the Committee on Lectures and Concerts, on the Nen s Staff, in Dance Group, International Relations Club, and the Sociology and Economics Club. EUDOXA ANN DINGMAN HoHoKus, N. J. Art Going back to Nassau Hall is one of Do. ie ' s hobbies, and she ' s just the type for Princeton — smart, sophisticated, and lots of fun. She ' s a jolly Chung Mung which isn ' t surprising considering the con- tributions she ' s made to Sweet Briar life. Assistant Business Manager of the Brambler, and Advertising Editor of the 1938 Briar Patch, on the TVelPs Staff, in the German Club, she also turns her ability to the athletic line in Choreography group and on the Hockey team. 1 OF THE CLASS OF ' 39 CHARLOTTE GAULDEN DUNN Montcldir, N. J. Psychology Male mail is a fine thing. says Charlotte, and she should know — especially about letters postmarked Amherst, Mass.. or Lexmgton. Va. ! They ' re one of her hobbies. When we think of Charlotte, there ' s an impression of intelligence and general savoir-faire along with the ability to direct a constructive interest to many extra-curricular fields. She filled, more than adequately, the responsible position of President of Advi- sory Council this year. In addition she was chosen by Aints and Asses; has been in Choreography Group for four years; was elected Secretary of Biology Club after membership for two years; is a member of the Sociology and Economics Club; and works on the Colored School Committee of the Y. W. C. A. ELIZABETH TALIAFERRO DURHAM Richmond, Va. Classical Civilization The belle of Harvard. Virginia. V. M. I. and the famous Richmond parties. Betsy looks like a Vogue illustration, has the sparkle of a vivid personality, and has to her credit a prodigious list of activities here on campus. She ' s been in May Court three years; a member of the varsity hockey team in ' 36. ' 37, and of the tennis team in ' 38; was a most efficient Fire Chief this year, worked on the 1938 Briar Patch and on the News in ' 38, ' 39; was a member of the Inn and May Day committees; is in Chung Mung and Aints and Asses, as well as the Glee Club and numerous departmental clubs. She has also be- longed to the Orientation Committee for two years, was Class Secretary her Freshman year, and is a Friend of Art. BARBARA ELAINE EARL Brighton, N. Y. Art Listening to symphonies is one of Bobby ' s hobbies, and she ' s particularly fond too, of sleeping late, of soft sweaters, and of the clothes in the Sunday A ' eH ' York Times. She must learn a lot from the latter, for her brunette beauty is always admirably set-off by good taste and perfect grooming. Her frequent visits in Charlottesville attest to the fact that Virginia men agree as to Bobby ' s charm. Dance Group is her chief non-academic interest. ANNA ATKINS ESPACH Boston, Mass. Religion Travel ' s her hobby, and she loves native drums, sun, and Haiti. Along the intellectual line, she ' s a winner : a regular part of the Dean ' s list, and one of those rare people who can transfer classroom learning into vital conjunction with contemporary problems and happenings. She belongs to the International Rela- tio.;s and Sociology and Economics Clubs, while for social whirls she hies her to Washington, to Brown, and to Philadelphia. OF THE CLASS OF ' 39 MARTHA ELLIOT FOWLER Knoxville, Tennessee Mathematics She ' s distinguished for remarkable mental powers, as well as for a quiet friendliness that wms her the love of more than those who are lucky enough to know her well. Riding, reading, and tennis occupy her leisure hours, and she ' s domestically inclined toward knitting. Her tastes favor chocolate ice cream and violets. Martha says week-ends in New ' ork are tops, unless she can go home instead. The German Club and the Tripos Club profit by her membership. BETTIE LEWIS FRAZIER St. Louis, Mo. Sociology and Economics Everybody knows her, everybody likes her and admires her for what she ' s meant, tangibly and in- tangibly, to Sweet Briar for the past four years. As an athlete, her career has been brilliant: she ' s President of the Athletic Association this year, after having been Secretary her Junior year, and having played on varsity hockey and basketball for four and three years respectively. Unique spirit and endeavor on Frazier s part have been recognized by Q.V., Tau Phi. and Chung Mung, while her pep and personality made her a member of Aints and Asses. She has been on the Y. W. ' s Colored School Committee and in the Spanish and Sociology and Economics Clubs. NANCY WEEMS GATCH Washington, D. C. International Affairs Hedy Lamarr and Sigrid Gurie have potent competition in Nancy ' s exotic. Oriental beauty. But there ' s lots of pep behind the delicacy of that porcelain-dainty face; there ' s that certain something which makes its owner the toast of AnnapoHs. West Point, and Washington and Lee. Artistic to her very finger- tips, Nancy did a clever piece of work on the decorations for Mid-Winters her Sophomore year.  ' and Patches finds her talent invaluable for their scenery painting, and she is also a member of the Studio Club, as well as Head of the May Day Committee for 1939. and a member of the International Relations and Sociology and Economics clubs. LUCY LATANE GORDAN Norfolk, Va. English No sooner had Bitsy enrolled at Sweet Briar for her Junior year than she made a place for herself in Sweet Briar ' s heart and its life. Always chipper and sparkling with vitality, she ' s a real artist at con- versation. Add to all that a brain worth two of most people ' s and the ability for work done easily and well and you have a good idea of her well-rounded personality. In addition to a debut in Norfolk, she s found time to be Advertising Manager of the Bramhlcr. to work on the . W. ' s Colored School Committee, and to belong to the Glee Club and the English Club. ■iSi ' ' % - OF THE CLASS OF ' 39 VALERIE FAIN GOTT Chattanooga, Tenn. History A brunette edition of the classical beauty is Valeria — well-defined features, a sweet expression, and a slow but fascinating smile make up her individual charm. She ' s another one of those stunning dark g-lamour girls who has a passion for Charlie McCarthy. Cats are her pet aversion. As for the places she likes to play, Washington is her favorite, a preference which assorts well with her effortless sophistication. On campus, she takes especial interest in that jolly group, the Aints and Asses. RUTH HARMAN Plamfield, N. J. International Relations Boston accents. New Hampshire, horses, and eating are her pet likes, and music her hobby. Yes, her interests are wide! They vary from New Haven and Princeton week-ends to every manifestation of an ideal Sweet Briar Spirit. ' Her brilliant success as President of International Relations has proved con- clusively that a position grows to the stature of its holder. Ruth ' s character and achievements have become such a vital element in the community that she merited well her election to Tau Phi this year. Membership in the Choir, and on the Social Committee, a leadership in Riding, and positions on class hockey, basket- ball and baseball squads are the tangible forms her ability has taken. ANNE LEE HARRISON Hopewell, Va. English Here ' s a girl who gets around, and who ' s better qualified? She ' s got the looks, she ' s got the personality, and she ' s got the savoir-faire. Richmond parties and Lexington week-ends have the stamp of her appro al, and she ' s a hit in Charlottesville as well. She likes visits in New Orleans enjoys riding, rowing, tennis, and archery, and has a mind that ' s made for her a distinguished record in things academic at Sweet Briar. Her hobbies vary from writing to domestic accomplishments such as washing sweaters and shortening skirts. Anne ' s literary bent is demonstrated by her work on the Bramhler staff, and her membership in the English Club. ETHEL FLORA HAUBER Newark, Del. English There ' s a tradition at Sweet Briar named Dutch and Joe, and it ' s a tradition we ' ll certainly hate to break next year. No wonder Dutch ' s chief hobby is her Hope Chest! Her definition of an ideal week-end locality is one where Joe is. Besides one lucky gentleman, her interests go out to many activities on Sweet Briar campus. She is Vice-President of the . W. C. A., and her spirit has been justly recognized this year by membership in Chung Mung. She ' s on the Social Committee, the Inn and Orientation Committees, in Paint and Patches and the English Club, and worked on the 1938 Briar Patch staff. y 9 9 1 . 9 ? OF THE CLASS OF ' 39 MARTHA ELIZABETH HODILL Pittsburgh, Pa. Sociology and Economics Petite, peppy and full of the fire of her own red-head is La Hodill. Dartmouth and New ork are Mardie ' s idea of the best possible localities for week-ends and our own Libe the gummiest. She loves to dance, has a passion for good popular music well played, and is frequently to be found either playing bridge or all dressed to go riding. Some of her other occupations include Camera Club, the Sociology and Economics Club, and work at the Indian Mission. ANNE HUDDLESTON Nashville, Tenn. Psychology People are Anne ' s hobby, and it takes only watching her among them to see that she s a whizz at getting along. There ' s a mutual affection between her and everybody around her — no one could help liking her pep and enthusiasm, her warmth and cordiality, and the gaiety that makes all she does a success. That genial smile has made many a week-end at Princeton or in Washington a happy one for Anne and the surrounding (in more ways than one) men. Music and work on the Y. W. C. A. are Puddle s non-academic pursuits. VIOLA RIDER JAMES Charlotte, N. C. Art Happy is the Studens Perfecta of S. B. C. in more than the colossal success, this year ' s Senior Show. She combines the rare qualities of an intellect par-excellence and executive ability with an equally superlative talent for week-ends and the startling beauty which has adorned the May Court for three years. President of Tau Phi, she has been in Paint and Patches three years. She was Vice-President of her Fresh- man class. Class President and House President her Sophomore year. Treasurer and Vice-President of Stu- dent Government successively, a member of Advisory Council, College Council and Choir for three years each, and Glee Club four years needless to say. She was also a Q.V. A gift for the superlative in all things is Happy ' s unique talent! To cap the climax, she was May Queen for 1939. SHIRLEY ANN JONES Rocky Mount, N. C. History Bright dark eyes and a sparkling smile plus plenty of chipper-chatter and a fine sense of humor make Shirley the life of the party. Chocolate pies, beer parties, and tiny trinkets are some of the assorted tastes of this vivacious lady. She loves week-ends (in general) and week-ends at Chapel Hill and New York (in particular). In her quieter moments, bridge and reading are favorite occupations. Amis and Asses chose well in adding her hilarious take-offs to their company of polished actors. Shirley also is a member of the Sociology and Economics Club. i jf C A OF THE CLASS OF ' 39 MARY JANE JUDD Rochester, Minn. Biology Ask Judy what her absorbing interests are and her reply will sound like the bulletin of an athletic association! Hockey, basketball, tennis, lacrosse, baseball, swimming, boating, skiing and sailmg comprise the impressive summary of her athletic prowess — a real outdoor girl. For the week-end favorites she elects W. and L. and the University of Minnesota, secretly even more partial, we suspect, to the Outing Club Cabin as a recreational retreat. Incredible as it sounds, she has belonged to four different varsity teams at Sweet Briar, and has been Head of the Lake and of Basketball successively. This year she was Presi- dent of the Biology Club and became a member of that august organization, Aints and Asses. Judy has also belonged to the German Club and the International Relations Club. MARTHA VAN TUYL LANE Westtown, Pa. English Genuine sophistication, clothes that look like Hollywood ' s best in taste and style, and striking good- looks are the reasons that heads turn to look at Mardie wherever she goes. In a riding-habit, she ' s a knockout, and on a horse, she ' s a whizz. She loves horses and fo.xhunting; is fond of reading. Brooks sweaters, Harry-the-Cat, and has a talent for clever remarks. For week-end gaiety she chooses Phila- delphia, while here at college her activities are the A ' cn ' s staff and the English Club. MARY CATHERINE LAWDER Houston, Texas English Sleeping, sunning and Steve are kitty ' s three 5s — all three, no doubt, have somethmg to do with the Scintillating Smile that is her especial charm. Her hobby is unique — it ' s watch making, and she s fond of Kodaks and red-seal records as well. She ' ll back W. and L. week-ends against any in the country ;!S the hnest in existence. She hales from way down in the Lone Star State, and logically enough, she is President of the Texas Club. The English Club and typing for the News also claim much of her time. LOIS ADALINE LEAR Waterford, N. Y. International Affairs Unusual and striking beauty is the first thing one notices about Lois and then the ouiet charm of her smile. She has a great partiality for Alpha Beta Kappa men. along with the intellect to Keep up with them, while a taste for dancing and riding make her an excellently well-rounded person. Dartmouth and Lake George are her favorite week-end haunts. Obviously she ' s in May Court, while her other activities include Choreography Group, Glee Club. Treasurership of the Sociology and Economics Club, and membership in the International Relations Club. OF THE CLASS OF ' 39 YVONNirflENEEr SnSSXT Scarsdaier N Y.

Oh. yes; D stands for Dartmouth and D stands for Dan, and before long Dyer will stand for Leggett! ' ou put up a good fight. Virginia men, but Dartmouth has a fraternity pin and a diamond ring to prove his victory. Beauty and a lovely voice put Yvonne in the May Court (3 years) and in the Briarette Trio, while her extra-curricular work is so extensive that she herself has to make lists to keep up with it. Tau Phi, Chung Mung. the presidency of Aints and Asses, four years in the choir, Y. W. C. A. Cabinet, Orientation Committee, song leadership her Junior year. Glee Club for three years, 1938 Briar Patch staff, varsity athletics, and various departmental clubs — that list gives one an idea of Yvonne ' s contribution to Sweet Briar life. JANE YEAGER LEWIS Syracuse, N. Y. Music She is sweet and gentle is a phrase which Janie per sonifies completely. Quiet, never out of temper, she appears to live in a dream world which she has entered through the medium of music, which she imparts, by means of expert piano-playing, her own pleasure to those around her. Uniquely fitted for her position as head of Choir, she is also a member of Glee Club, Music Club and Choreography. There ' s many a broken heart in Charlottesville over that diamond she wore back from vacation this year. Heartiest congratula- tions are in order to the man who won that stiff contest! LOTTE SHARP LEWIS Durham, N. C. English Madame, la Presidente of this year ' s Senior class is a grand girl who takes work and play alike with a winning smile. We all love the Scotch songs she brought back from a year at St. Andrews and we admire the zest that makes them go over. The same energy that brought her the honor of a year ' s study abroad has made her extra-curricular career a great success. Chung Mung chose her and her poisonality ' is typical of Aints and Asses peppy group. Vice-President of her Sophomore class, she assisted in leading mid-winter dances; she ' s been on Advisory Council two years, on the Nelvs Board of Control, in the Student-Faculty Relations group, and in the German and English Clubs. ELIZABETH LOCKETT St. Louis, Mo. Biology Biz has been very much missed at Sweet Briar since finishing her college course in February. How- ever, she must have been having an exciting time since her departure, for she went with the American Touring Hockey Team to play in South America. She has a mind as quick as her action on the hockey field, too, and when it comes to looks she ' s competition for the smoothest. She likes a e best for week-end recreation while as hobbies she enjoys sports and music. It is no exaggeration to say that she is a star in every conceivable branch of athletics, a fact obvious from her membership on practically every team, varsity or inter-class, which exists at Sweet Briar. In addition she ' s in May Court, Choir and Glee Club. « OF THE CLASS OF ' 39 Louisville, Ky. History and Government As warm and cheerful as her red robe fron St. Andrews is Gracey ' s temperament. Sympathy, friend- liness and optimism combine in her with unaffected mental prowess, coming to a total that expresses the best things in Sweet Briar ' s traditions. She ' s far from dull. as proved by the fact that she balances hard work with the right amount of play — notably at Virginia and Annapolis. The double honor of Q.V. and then Tau Phi was well-deserved in Gracey ' s case. She has played on her class tennis team for two years, and belongs to the Alliance Fran aise and the International Relations Club as well. JEAN McKENNEY New York City French How McKenney finds time for those week-ends in Princeton and N. Y. C. we don ' t see, but she does and has held down numerous responsible positions as well. Her Briar Patch made history at Sweet Briar, and she ' s done an equally superlative piece of work on the News. Her energy and capability have con- tributed inestimably throughout her years at Sweet Briar, as was fittingly recognized by her membership in Tau Phi this year. Honored as the first president of her class, she became a member of Q.V. her Soph- omore year, and has been on Advisory Council throughout her college career, acting as Secretary in 1936-3 . In addition, she is a member of Aints and Asses. the Brambler staff, the Alliance Fran aise, the Italian Club, the Camera Club, and has belonged to the Orientation Committee. MARY FRANCES MACKINTOSH Bronxville, N. Y. English Hard work, balanced judgment, and graciousness of living. a phrase once defined as the epitome of Sweet Briar ' s spirit, is a hard standard to attain, but Mac has lived this ideal well. Honored by the highest position on campus, that of Student Government President, she has carried heavy responsibility throughout her four years of college, without deviating from a standard of academic supremacy. A sense of humor and sparkling wit round her personality to completeness. A Tau Phi for two years. Mary has also the following activities to her credit: Class Treasurership for two years, membership in Q.V., House Presidency her Jun- ior year. Treasurership of the A. A., together with membership on the News Board of Control, on the Var- sity Hockey squad, in Aints and Asses, in the group of Hiking Leaders, and in the Spanish and English clubs. Classic beauty made her a member of the May Court for three years. NAN MANLY Birmingham, Ala. History Quiet, but always friendly. Nan has the force of real character, together with the charm of a genuine interest in others. As a result she ' s had a well-deserved popularity throughout her years at Sweet Briar. Badminton ' s her favorite sport, while as hobbies she enjoys knitting and bridge. She likes train-riding, beer and opals, and her favorite name is Allen. (We wonder why!) She did a good job as Business Manager of the 1938-39 StiiJcnls ' Handbook, was chosen by her class as their secretary this year, and belongs to the International Relations and Sociology and Economics ( lubs. OF THE CLASS OF ' 39 ' rbr r.- LUCRETIA de JARNETTE MARTIN Norfolk, Va. History Impish, yet extra sweet is Lu ' s smile. It ' s a smile one doesn ' t forget, because it ' s so much a part of the animation and friendliness that make up her unique charm. She ' s especially partial to Norfolk parties, a fact that kept her mighty busy this year. Coming out in Norfolk and getting an education at Sweet Briar at the same time is a large order for anybody. Some other taste ' s include the Y. box, magazines, soli- taire, chocolate cake and peppermints. As for extra-curricular interests, Lu loves tennis, works on the Sn ee( Briar Nervs and belongs to the Sociology and Economics Club. MARTHA BLANTON MATTHEWS Charlotte, N. C. Music Charlotte. Chapel Hill. Lexmgton, and Charlottesville make up a spicy variety of week-end haunts for Martha. She roes in for stamp collecting too (on letters exclusively). Sounds like a party girl, doesn ' t she? But, paradoxically, she ' s a brain wave and a music lover as well. She ' s head of Glee Club, a vital part of Choir, and belongs to the Dance Group as well as Glee Club. Symphonies are one of her pet likes. MARGARET DELLA MEADE Boyce, Va. English The south ' n drawl makes a hit at Princeton. Add to that a gift for clever repartee, a flare for yankee dancin ' , a petite yet strikmg appearance, and it ' s easy to see why Delia ' s a sensation anywhere. As to her hobbies, they are confusingly varied — ransing from experimenting in new and different coiffures to collecting stray dogs, and writing topnotch stories. She enjoys tennis, archery, squash and bad-ninton; hates spaghetti, banality, and rain. I hinks Benny Goodman is tops. She ' s Editor-in-Chief of the Brambler, and belongs to the Advisory Council, and English and German Clubs. JANE ELEANOR MEISSNER Short Hills, N. J. Ar t Give her a horse or an easel and she ' s happy! Wc sometimes wonder if she was born with a silver horseshoe in her mouth instead of the proverbial silver spoon, for her love of riding is equaled only by her expert ability as a horsewoman. Talented along a different line too, Jane has an absorbing interest in art. She possesses a great facility with the paintbrush, as well as a propensity for modeling and sketching. Jane is a Riding Leader and an influential member of the Studio Club, while in addition, she is very much inter- ested in things musical. OF THE CLASS OF ' 39 HENRIETTE ALLEN MINfigl Charlotte, N; C. History There ' s something about a soldier-boy, isn ' t there Henri? Oh my land, yes! says this smiling ' 39er. and she proves the statement by the special taste she has for V. M. I. week-ends. Chapel Hill and Charlotte are on her list of favorites too. They say people with personality have varied interests — and the saying holds true both ways in this case. She likes the Lake, orange cake, rest, Christopher Robin and any num- ber of other diverse items, and in addition to that she ' s turned much attention to campus activities. She ' s in Tau Phi, was a member of Q.V., is House President of Carson this year, was Vice-President of her Junior class, besides being on Advisory Council, College Council, the Neivs Staff, the 1938 Briar Patch Staff, in Aints and Asses, on the Orientation Committee, and Vice-President of the Italian Club. JEAN EDWINA MOORE New York City, N. Y. Sociology and Economics The title of best-dressed girl on campus is one which could easily be applied to Jeany. She wears the classic college outfit of sweater and skirt with real style, while her clothes-sense is equally good for every type of apparel. Efficiency is her long-suit too, and the spirit she ' s put into campus activities plus lots of personality give us a good idea of why Chung Mung chose her. She ' s President of the Sociology and Economics Club, edited the Students ' Handbook, belongs to the Social and Orientation Committees, worked on the News and 1938 Briar Patch staffs, is on the Church Committee, and the Y. W. Cabinet, and belongs to the Camera and Spanish C lubs. FAYTH VIRGINIA MUELLER Montclair, N. J. English A girl whose hobby is collecting proposals doesn ' t need a build-up to prove how attractive she is. After all, men-on-their-knees-before-one certainly don ' t grow on trees. Fay spends almost as much time at Washington and Lee as she does at Sweet Briar, we sometimes think. And when she isn ' t in Le.xinglon, she ' s writing letters to be sent in that direction. Social rules are her pet aversion. She ' s done a fine job as Pres- ident of the German Club this year, and she ' s spent many an afternoon at the Indian Mission. She also belongs to the English Club. LILLIAN NEELY Waynesboro, Ga. Biology Neely ' s a collector — of unanswered letters and long distance phone calls. Hmm, — she does all right, doesn ' t she? V. M. I. cadets are lucky enough to be her special partiality, but W. and L. claims her attention too. Her versatile talents range from jitter-bueging to riding and swimming, while the value of her extra-curricular work was recognized by membership in Tau Phi this year. She has been House Pres- ident of Gray, as well as College Song Leader, President of the Nefvs Board of Control, Feature Writer for the News, and a member of Advisory Council, College Council, Social Committee, Paint and Patches, the Biology and German Clubs, and, in the past. Sports Writer for the News. OF THE CLASS OF ' 39 JEAN GRIGSBY OLIVER Atlanta, Ga. Art All decked out in riding clothes, red plush ear-muffs, and wearing that bright-eyed flash of a smile of hers — at the top of the fashion and all set to maintain her usual high standard of horsemanship — that ' s the way one thinks of J. O. She ' s an accomplished artist too, as well as an expert dancer. For gadding about, her favorite town is Lexington, where she never misses a dance and from whence came that hand- some fraternity pin. Reading and writing letters are a couple more of her favorite leisure occupations, while the activities she engares in range from being Secretary of the Friends of Art and belonging to the Studio Club, to acting as Riding Leader and working with the Dance Group. CATHERINE JANE ORTEL Upper Montclair, N. J. Psychology and Philosophy Kay ' s a gal who hates ever to be alone. People — talking to them, or just being near them — are her hobbies. Well, more power to you, Ortel— getting along with people is one of the most satisfying abilities one can have. Maybe ihal ' s why she ' s so fond of New York. That ' s certainly on? place to find one s fellow men in sufficient quantities. Building scenery for Paint and Patches plays is another thing she likes and does most expertly. She belongs, too, to the Sociology and Economics Club and has been Treasurer of the German Club this year. JANE PARKER Harrison, New York Art Blond, petite, and dainty is Jane. To look at her. one would never guess why date slips are the bane of her existence. She looks the type to be filling them out every week-end. But being chairman of the Social Committee involves too many of them for her liking. She ' s done a difficult job well thouch as she does all jobs. She ' s a Tau Phi, a member of the Faculty-Student Relations Committee, Paint and Patches, the French Club, and Studio Club, and the Spanish Club. The unusual combmation of business sense and beauty have made her the Assistant Business Manager of the 1938 Briar PatcH and the May Court respectively. ANN NIVISON BRADFORD PARKS Lynnhaven, Va. Sociology and Economics Parks is one of the most popular girls at Sweet Briar, as well as cne of the busiest. A perfect avalanche of hand-clappina greeted the Dean ' s announcement on Founder ' s Day that Ann had been chosen Manson Memorial Scholar. Hi?h grades, a variety of self-help jobs, and extra-curricular efficiency have niade her career a brilliant one. Tau Phi chose her this year, while athletic excellence on varsity hockey and as head of tennis make her an eminently suitable Vice-President of the A. A. She ' s done valuable work as electrician for Paint and Patches and belongs to the Sociology and Economics Club. --- -k V OF THE CLASS OF ' 39 PRISCILLA RHODES Glen Ridge, N. J. American History and Government Athletics, activity, and that all-inclusive word attitude constitute Dusty ' s claim to fame. She has a word and a smile for everybody, and is full of that intangible good-will that is the essence of Sweet Briar ' s famous spirit. She ' s found the Outing Club cabin a fascinating channel for pleasure and hard w-ork at the same time. She rides, plays on the class tennis team, varsity and class hockey teams, class basketball and baseball teams and has served on the swimming council. In addition she has belonged to the International Relations, the Camera Club, and the German Club. KATHERINE RICHARDS Upper Montclair, N. J. English Kay ' s got the proverbial red-head ' s pep, with which she combines a joie de vivre that ' s as infectious as it is attractive. Poetry ' s her hobby, and she loves the great out-doors to walk in or to eat in, if only those nasty bugs could be eliminated. Her interest in Sweet Briar is one which has shown itself ever since her Freshman year. As a Sophomore she was chosen for the honor and responsibility of Q.V. Paint and Patches has found her tireless energy indispensable, and she has also belonged to the English and German Clubs. JULIA MORRELL RIDGELY Towson, Md. French lu ' s got a maeic carpet she obligingly whips out on request and with which she transports her eager listeners bac ' with her to Paris, where she spent her Junior year at the Sorbonne. Tales of people, events, picturesqu- experiences — humorous, touching, or exciting — she tells. I exineton and Baltimore are her favorite week-end locales but wherever she is. Sweet Briar, abroad or anywhere else, it ' s a joy to know her. Her presidency of the Alliance Fran ;aise gave the club new life and made it more than ever worthwhile. She has belonged to the Brambler staff ever since Freshman year, as well as to the Classical Club. GERTRUDE HOLCOMB ROBERTSON Warrenton, Va. Psychology Perfumes (with special reference to Chanel No. 5), photography, dogs, ' ard°nias and football are some of Gertrude ' s favorite items. For week-ends she likes to go to West Point. Cambridge, and Charlottes- ville, while on the other hand, 8:30 classes and term papers are the banes of her existence. So far we ' ve presented only the lighter side of Gertrude ' s personality, but there ' s a most efficient and hardworking side to this gay lass. She ' s on the A ' cn-s s ' aff, belongs to the Camera Club, and has been on the Archery Scuad in addition to the work she does with Miss Ruby in the Bookshop. 1 %. OF THE CLASS OF ' 39 GRACE MOSELY ROBINSON Charlotte, N. C. American Problems Snooks is at home to the rest of the college several times a day at the Inn. And when she ' s there there ' s sure to be a crowd around her, because everybody enjoys a chat with this animated and humourous tar-heel lass. She loves to ride, is an ardent patron of the Y box, admires flagpole sitters, and is frequently seen slaving away in the stacks. She works for the good, and she works for the right in many other ways too, as was recognized by Tau Phi membership this year. As student representative for Amherst County she has done a lastingly valuable piece of work for the entire community. She is Secretary of the ' . W. C. A. this year; was chosen by Aints and Asses; is on the Orientation, Social, and Church Com- mittees, and belongs to the Sociology and Economics Club. MARGARET LONSDALE ROPER Norfolk, Va. English Corsages come pouring in for Peg when Paint and Patches, with her invaluable aid, puts on one of those famous performances. Hearts skip a beat when the loveliest of all comes forth marked with a Norfolk name! In addition to collecting famous autographs, one of her hobbies is writing those excellent stories for whose appearance in the Bramhler we wait so anxiously each month. Give Peg a good book or a good play to read and she ' s happy, but give her a big job to do and she ' s positively wrapped up in it. That ' s why she made such a success of her work in Paint and Patches. Some of her other activities are the News staff, the English Club, and the German Club. AUGUSTA ELIZABETH SAUL Salem, Va. Music Nourishment for the soul, poetry, and nourishment for the body, good food are pet like; of this friendly Sweet Briar lass. She ' s a frequent and welcome visitor to Charlottesville and Lexington, two towns she finds excellent fields wherein to exercise her talent for meeting people. An accomplished pianist, she ' s admirably well-suited for her cffice as President of the Music Club. She belongs to the Glee Club and Dance Group too, and is a member of International Relations. JULIA GRAY SAUNDERS Richmond, Va. Art Julie ' s the kind of person who has fun wherever she goes, but she is particularly partial to Virginia Beach as a place to play. Art Shaw ' s recording of Begin the Beguine is her musical favorite, and Charlie McCarthy possesses a big slice of her affections. She ' s doubly honored with two presidencies: of Chung Mung and of the Spanish Club. As Assistant Editor of the NcWi. the bane of her existence comes in the form of late news articles. She loves her work on scenery for Paint and Patches, and she labors cheerfully and well for the Orientation Committee, the Studio Club, and the Ateneo. OF THE CLASS OF ' 39 JEAN GRAY SCOTT Graham, N. C. English Scotty ' s as great a favorite in the masculine world as she is among the femmes — quite a title, for her sweetness and congeniality make her welcome everywhere. The tar-heels are as enthusiastic about her visits to Chapel Hill as she is; they seem to feel that a Carolma dance-set would be incomplete without her presence. She ' s fond of beer-parties, New ork week-ends, new hats, and Bob Crosby ' s orchestra. But she ' s not merely pretty and lots of fun, she ' s gifted along the literary line and loves to write. This year Jean Gray is President of the English Club, on the Brambler staff, the News staff and the Social Committee, as well as being in Aints and Asses. MARY LOUISE SIMPSON Bridgeport, Conn. American History and Government Amid the mad rush that is Life in the Twentieth Century, it is refreshing to encounter one who manages things, and manages them well, without departing from her philosophy of leisure. Such a person is Mary Lou. When she can ' t be found on campus over week-ends, she ' s likely to be at Annapolis, but when she ' s here a safe guess as to her whereabouts is the Inn, or, failing that, she may be catching the bus for town. Her hobbies of bridge and reading do not interfere with the quiet efficiency which she contributes to the Nervs, International Relations, the Camera Club, and Sociology and Economics Club. LILLIAN MAY SMITH Brooklyn, N. J. Sociology and Economics As clever as Hollywood ' s ace writer of sophisticated scenarios is Lil when it comes to writing. As proof of her ability we have but to mention the masterpiece of her pen Studens Perfecta, to say nothing of the Class Prophecy for 1939. She likes New York and Yale, and there ' s a mighty good-lookin ' frat pin in her sweater which seems to show that the weakness is mutual. Her literary talent contributes valuably to the Neivs, the Brambler, and the English Club, while her polished ability as an actress makes her a valued member of Paint and Patches. She belongs, as well, to the Sociology and Economics Club. ROSALIE SWARTZ Norristown, Pa. Psychology and Philosophy Striking in appearance, tasteful in apparel, and versatile in ability is Robin. Golf ' s her favorite occupation and any golf course the place she likes best to be. She has an absorbing interest in music, loves books and book collecting, and has a real flare for dancing. She ' s one of those Aints and Asses poisonality girls, has been in first Dance Group and then Choreography, is Senior Class Treasurer, works on the Bram- bler staff, and has been a member of the Italian Club. Music Club, and the Sociology and Economics Club. OF THE CLASS OF ' 39 SARAH ALLISON TAMS Tarns, W. Va. French Oh. what wonderful tales of Parisian life this quiet lass brought back with her from a Junior year of study at the Sorbonne! We listen enthralled, but we are glad for Sweet Briar ' s sake that our own Box- wood Inn now takes the place of Sarah ' s beloved French cafes. She ' s a vital part of the Alliance Fran ;aise (cela va sans dire) and belongs to the Spanish Club as well. With music as a hobby it is also natural that she is a valuable part of the Glee Club. JANET DIEHL THORPE Pelham Manor, N. Y. Art Benny Goodman swing before breakfast and shrimps at any hour rub Janet the wrong way. They must be almost the only things that do irk her though, since she ' s even m temper and optimistic in outlook to all enviable extent. Plenty of umph and oodles of personality made her a jolly Chung Mung this year. She ' s President of the Italian Club, Treasurer of the . W. C. A., on the Brambler staff, the Social Com- mittee, and the Advisory Council, and a member of the Studio Club. She was Secretary of her class her Junior year and has belonged to the German Club for three years. MARY LANE TREADWAY Bristol, Conn. Sociology and Economics Tready ' s got pep, charm, enthusiasm, and efficiency, and she loves e. tra-long week-ends anywhere in ankee land. Having sung her way to fame in the Briarette Trio, she ' s outstanding for the many high positions she ' s held as well. Song leader as a Sophomore, she became President of her class last year, and Secretary of Student Government this year. A member first of Q.V. and now of Tau Phi, she sings in choir, was on the Y. W. Cabinet, was Assistant Editor of the 1938 Briar Patch, has belo nged to Glee Club, Dance Group and Choreography, was chosen by Aints and Asses, and is in the Sociology and Economics, Camera, and Spanish Clubs. She is also a May Court member of three years ' standing. JANET ELIZABETH TROSCH Rochester, N. Y. American History and Government Europe is the place, according to Trosch, if we can judge by the frequent summer trips she takes there. Imagination paints a vivid picture of Janet drumming off a travelogue on that efficient typewriter one of these days (between spells of knitting, of course). Quite some actress she is too; and if you want proof, just look back into the annals of Paint and Patches. Genial and humorous, she has made many a Freshman feel at home in her capacity as a member of the Orientation Committee. She belongs to Glee Club, the Finance Committee. German Club. Camera Club, and the Sociology and Economics Club. IJW wS OF THE CLASS OF ' 39 ELEANOR LAWRENCE VANDRUFF Sussex, N. J. Sociology and Economics Shalimar perfume, white satin evening dresses and gardenias give us samples of Ellie ' s taste and a good idea of her type. Tall, blonde and smooth, she can afford to despise lines, — she doesn ' t need one. What- ever methods she uses, though, they obviously work well, for she goes to Yale, Lehigh, and W. and L. She ' s a camera fiend too and takes pictures of everything from her friends to football games and horse- racing, the latter being two of her pet likes. Her interests on campus are basketball and the Sociology and Economics Club. ELEANOR CONSTANCE WALLACE West Chester, Pa. English Many a midshipman ' s heart has been made glad by that cheery smile of Connie ' s for it ' s Anchors Aweigh for her. She likes Alexandria for week-ends too, and to add to the glamour of any situation, she uses Lanvin ' s perfumes. Natural, lovable, and a pal to everyone, she likes riding, tennis and hockey by way of out-door relaxation, and for the rainy day, she finds a good book the very thing. Being a looker-on-the- bright-side of things herself, she abhors movies that don ' t end happily. She ' s an enthusiastic club-member, belonging to the English Club, German Club, and the Friends of Art. MARY JEFFERY WELLES Lexington, Va. Music Busy, energetic and efficient is Jeff, though she has a secret ambition to find time one of those days, just to be lazy. Pretty futile with the list of activities she has to her credit, but she never lets this frustration deter the infectious charm of her sunny nature. She finds rest and relaxation in music, in walks, in picnics, in Lexington and Charlottesville. Orchids and much applause are due Jeff for the way she has thrown her- self into her job as President of Paint and Patches and for the superlatively good work she has done. In addition, she has been on the News staff, in Glee Club and Choir, and a member of the French Club, Inter- national Relations, Music Club and Studio Club. MARION VIRGINIA WELLFORD Wilmington, Del. Religion Ginger is an ardent promoter of Peace Conferences. On the other hand, she certainly seems to be a strong believer in things military too; that is, if one can judge by the potent partiality she has for West Point and V. P. I. Her dark good looks and the charm that goes with a ital interest in many different things make her a welcome visitor in Charlottesville too. She likes athletics, from seaside sports to squash and hockey, enjoys a game of cards or a walk, and interests herself in campus activities as well. She went to the Y. W. C. A. Conference at Lake George, is on the Bramhier staff, and belongs to the Classical and Studio Clubs. 75 SARAH BENNETT WILCOX Baltimore, Md. Biology Ask Bennett how to attain a figure as enviably trim as hers, and she will tell you she does it, pleasantly though strenuously, by means of athletics. She ' s a whizz in every branch of the sports world, loves each of them, and has attained the distinction of being on both the hockey and lacrosse varsity teams. Another factor which makes her outstanding in the class of ' 39 is the tireless and successful effort she has given to Paint and Patches. The German Club and the Biology Club have also benefitted by her membership. JULIA TURNER WORTHINGTON Washington, D. C. French Springtime in Paris — well, France anytime of the year — is Julia ' s idea of just about the nearest place to heaven. We might add, though, that one of the supreme highlights of her year in Paris was the time when the Navy took the city by storm. That was the time the tables were turned, and instead of Julia ' s going to Annapo- lis, as is her frequent custom, Annapolis came to her! Football games, gardenias, and week-ends are her hobbies, and two of her pet recreations are bridge and hockey. Naturally, she ' s a valuable member of the French Club, while, in addition, she belongs to the Spanish Club. mn I President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Anne Adamson Frances Moses Mildred Mitchell Georgia Herbert AMAAJdh.K - ' Ann Baxter Adam n Jane Clarkson Baker FIRST ROW Biology and Sociology . .

MEMBERS Virginia Allen Bagby Elizabeth Clark Brown- Serman Jane Leah Clark Elizabeth Colley Mary Elizabeth Doucett Helen Lucile Gwinn Josephine Porter Harlan Cynthia Harrison Mary Patterson James Helen Anne Littleton Lucy Ruth Lloyd Olivia Rhodes Mary Erskine White Q.V., Sweet Briar ' s Soph- omore honorary society, was founded by the class of 1937, and has since become one of the most influential groups on campus. Its aims are to pre- serve and enhance the spirit and enthusiasm shown by the Freshman classes, to carry them over into the Sopho-tiore year, and to draw the class together with the ties of friendliness and a common interest in extra-curricular activities. Members are chosen by the previous year ' s Q. V. ' s on the basis of their influence and constructive attitude during their Freshman year. In order that they may work more effectively, their identity is kept secret throughout their Sophomore year, which is their period of active membership. Early in May, their names are announced to the entire student body at the conclusion of a Step-Singing. To be chosen a member of Q. V. is not merely an honor: it is a challenge and a responsibility to live up to the best that Sweet Briar ' s spirit stands for. to help every member of her class enjoy to the fullest the high opportunity for intellectual and spiritual development which Sweet Briar presents, and to rise above and overcome the limitations of cliques . . . these are the duties of every Q. V. 1940 WWI )oni Lead ers Senior Lillian Neely Junior Mildred Mitchell Sophomore Mary James Freshman Martha Buchanan Comradeship — unity — beauty of spirit — these are the things which Step-Singing represents. On certain Sun- days in the fall and spring all four classes gather on the quadrangle; the Seniors on the Golden Stairs, with the Fresh- men opposite them; the Juniors on their bench, facing the Sophomores. First comes the Sweet Briar song, sung by the entire student body; next the four classes, respectively, sing their own peppy and original songs; and finally, the voices of the entire college unite in the Sweet Briar hymn. The new Tau Phis are an- nounced at the first Step-Singing of the year; the first May Step-Singing reveals the names of the Q. V. ' s, while at the last one of the year, the Seniors give place to the Juniors on the Golden Stairs, and the Soph- omores take possession of the Junior Bench. The loveliness and significance of this beautiful tradition is represented by the words: Sweet Briar, thou art a sVmbol of beautv. Lasting and grorving forever. Shining and spreading th glorious light on our pathway , Sweet Briar, — living each Jaji in ij) beaut]). We ' ll think ' ' Sone when We leave thee. But in the future we ' ll find it within our hearts. STUDENT GOVERNMENT Mary Mackintosh Viola James Mary Treadway Emory Gill Henriette Minor Lillian Neely Mary Johnston Beth Thomas Allen Bagby Helen Anne Littleton Frances Boynton OFFICERS Mary Mackintosh President Viola James Vice-President Mary Treadwa ' ' Secretary Emory Gill Treasurer Executive Committee a a g B O ri , STUDENT GOVERNMENT ASSOCIATION In 1906 the students of Sweet Briar, desiring to assume individual and community responsibility for the conduct of students in matters not strictly academic organized, in accordance with the agreement between the Faculty and Students, the Student Government Association. This Association, of which every student is a member, has as its purpose an endeavor to foster the indn idual and community interests of Sweet Briar students, by maintaining the high standard of conduct and decorum, and by strengthening the spirit of unity and the sense of individual responsibility. The Executive Committee, which is the principal governing board of the association, consists of the officers, the six House Presidents, and the President of the Freshman class. The Advisory Council functions principally as an intermediary between the students and the Administration. This council is composed of officers and representatives from each organization and class on campus. Suggestions and criticisms of general interest are referred to this group. Advisory Council f i Y.

Carter, A. Dearstyne, Doucett, Leggett, Manly, Moore, Nalley, Neel. Powell, Spencer, Vanderbill Y. W. C. A. High spiritual and humanitarian principles make the Y. W. C. A. an influential body in Sweet Briar life and in that of the community. Friendly relations on campus, vital Chris- tian living, and philanthropic service — these are the high aims for which the Y. W. stands. It welcomes each incom.ing Freshman chss with a gay fancy-dress party early in Sep- tember, introducing them to the easy familiarity of Sweet Briar life. Vital in fostering and increasing cordial, non-academic relations between faculty and students are the Y. W. coffee hours held on several Fridays throughout the year. Furthermore, the organization sponsors simple but truly inspiring chapel services of song and prayer from time to time in the evening. Another important function of the Y. W. C. A. is the publication of the Student Handhool(, a veritable textbook for all Sweet Briarites. Off-campus activities of the Y. W. C. A. include the maintenance of educational and recreational activities for the children of Amherst County, participation in national confer- ences and contact with other branches of the Y. W. C. A. As members of the cabinet, the heads of the following committees do effective and efficient work in upholding the ideals for which the organization stands: Colored Schools, Waitress, Indian Mission, Travelling Library, and Business-Finance. Every student at Sweet Briar is a member of the Y. W. C. A., and each girl is encouraged to contribute time and effort to the above committees. Well-deserved fun and relaxation come to the members of the cabinet in their annual week-end camping-trip to Timberlak e.

O ' Neill and Barrie Are in our repcrloire. So al stardom ' s very door we tarry. Paint and Patches, here we are! Although miles away from the glamour and lights of Broadway. Sweet Briar is by no mean? without the theatre. Among the highest spots of each college year are the three productions presented by Paint and Patches in Fletcher Auditorium under the capable direction of J. E. Michael. Founded on all the fields compassed by human intellect from the history of manners and architectural design to dressmaking and carpentry and vibrant characterization, the dramatic club gives opportunity for students in all departments to put their knowledge to immediate and material use. In October the favourite, She Sloops to Conquer, was presented with great success. Two miracle plays, the Brome Abraham and Isaac and Maeterlinck ' s Sister Beatrice, whose casts were composed entirely of new talent, proved an arresting and unusual project for December. A completely new departure occurred in the Spring when Paint and Patches combined with the Washington and Lee Troubadours to produce Noel Coward ' s Hav Fever. TAU PHI OFFICERS Viola James President Mary Frances Buchanan Vice-President Ann Adamson Secretarxi- Treasurer «i«i !, Viola James MEMBERS Benedict, Buchanan, E. Campbell, Fiazier, Harman, Leggett, Luckett, Mackintosh, McKlenney, Minor, Neely, Parker, Parks, Robinson, Treadway, Adarrson, Gill, Lee, Thomas TAU PHI The highest significance of Tau Phi lies not in the honour of membership but in the responsibihty in- cumbent upon every girl who belongs to it to uphold and to carry mto every phase of daily living the strongest and most beautiful elements of Sweet Briar ' s spirit. Larger than individual pursuits, more lasting than personal interests is the bond which unites each girl to the other members and which makes their mfluence felt throughout the college. Qualifications for eligibility presuppose a high standard of academic work, but even more emphasis is laid upon atttitude and effort in behalf of Sweet Briar. In order to be elected, a girl must stand for every- thing which Sweet Briar holds dear; she must in her first two years have done her utmost to further the ideals and traditions for which the college stands; she must be one who has taken an active part in the life of ihe institution, and who has contributed notably to broadening the interest of others. F ounded in 1 92 I -22 as a literary society, Tau Phi has since grown in scope and importance until, to- day, membership in the society is considered the highest honor which a girl can attain at Sweet Briar. lis purpose has always been to cooperate in student and community activities and to promote an interest in art, literature, and science. However, its aims and ideals are developing continually; across the span of its 17 years of existence they have grown and on through future years they will increase in stature. New Tau Phis are announced each fall at the first Step-Singing of the year to the assembled student body. Screams of excitement — vociferous congratulations — these are (he outward and visible manifestations of Tau Phi elections, but the deepest meaning is to be found in the dedication of each girl chosen to ihe transcendent ideals of Sweet Briar itself. This year under the able leadership of Viola James, Tau Phi ' s acti ities have included ushering at lectures and concerts, taking charge of the Browsing Room and Study Galleries on Sunday, sponsoring a special coffee hour in Commons. A CAPPELLA CHOIR OFFICERS Jane Lewis Head Jacqueline Sexton Librarian Members in A Cappella Choir are chosen for vocal talent, musical interests, and responsibility. The Choir contributes vitally to the weekly re- ligious services at Sweet Briar. Its two outstand- ing annual programs are the Christmas Carol Service, full of a warm spiritual Christmas cheer, and the Baccalaureate Service in June. During Mr. Finch ' s absence this year, Mr. Zechiel con- ducted the Choir with skill and ability.

Its members act as hostesses to the guests of the students at the gymnasium on Sundays, where all students are welcome to entertain their visitors. There are twelve seniors on the committee, which is headed by a chairman. This year one junior has been made a member of the committee. ENGLISH CLUB OFFICERS Jean Gray Scott President Clarice Bailey Treasurer The English Club is a wide-awake and vital organization whose chief interest lies in following modern literary trends and in understanding and appraising recently published books. Since its beginning I years ago, the club has been com- posed of Juniors and Seniors who are English Majors. Interesting and instructive book-reviews are presented by its various members at monthly meetings. The group presents new books to the Browsing room from time to time.

The aim of the club is to stimulate in- terest m the Italian language and in Italian culture. Membership is open to all students who are taking or who have taken Italian. At its monthly meetings, the club usually sponsors lectures on different phases of Italian life either by professors of Sweet Briar College or by others who are especially interested in Italy. A benefit bridge party was held during the past year and there were many purely social meetings.

Congratulations are due to Cynthia Harrison for her gracious and skillful management of the dances, and to the Soph- omore class as a whole for their efficient work in making the occasion a delightful one. Miss Harrison was assisted in leading the Sophomore figure by Miss Mimi Worlhinglon. The Senior figure was led by Miss Lottie Lewis. 127 CHUNG MUNG OFFICERS Julia Saunders President Jean Moore Secretary-Treasurer Julia Saunders Chung Mung Circus MEMBERS Collier, Davis, Dingman, Durham. Fernley, Haubei, Johnston, Lewis, Lockett, Moore, Moses, Saunders. Thorpe CHUNG MUNG Fun, hilarity, and friendliness are typical of this jolly group, but Chung Mung combines these de- lightful qualities with real importance and serious intent. Qualifications for membership include prominence in all fields of college life and an interest in the instigation and procreation of the well-rounded rollege citizen. The society, composed of I 3 Juniors and Seniors, has as its purpose the furtherance of Sweet Briar ' s coercive unit which serves as a medium for social, artistic, and intellectual expression. In its lighter aspect, Chung Mung appears as a parody of Tau Phi, and, furthermore, as the bane of the latter society ' s existence in every ingenious way. Selected the night after the announcement of new Tau Phi members, the ghostly white-sheeted Chung Mungs shout friendly defiance at the Tau Phis as they fol- low them in their march through the dormitories. Ths enthusiastic lung-power of the Chung Mun s ies for predominence with the more dignified chant of the Tau Phis. A colorful initiation, the Chung Mung Circus. marks the first appearance of new members of the society before the public, while later in the year come other Chung Mung shows. Originality, pep, and a convi ' . iai spirit make the group a beloved one on campus, while sterling worth, powerful influence, and worth-while aims {;ain them the respect and esteem of the entire college. THE MUSIC CLUB OFFICERS Augusta Saul President Jane Lewis Vice-President Olive May Whittington Secretary Shirley Nalley Treasurer The Music Club, organized last year, is an informal club for students actively interested in Music. Its purposes are to provide opporlunities for students in applied music to perform for one another, thereby gaining skill and experience, and to develop a deeper insight into music study through talks by students of music courses and by faculty members. Its monthly programs have attempted to show the relationship of music io other branches of knowledge.

Instructive, as well as entertaining, are the monthly meetings which feature lectures, discussions and games. Particularly noteworthy is the Cervantis Day meeting on April 23rd. On this day a Spanish play is presented. Another extremely interesting meeting is that in which the International Relations Club joins the Spanish Club in celebrating Pan-American Day. This year Sierra ' s play, Un Suena de una Noche de Agosto was presented with great success. Outstanding Spanish students are privileged to belong to the small and select group within El Club Espanol known as the Ateneo. The high standards of this inner circle are demonstrated by the fact that four faculty members. Dr. Raymond, Miss Buckham, Senor Mangiafico, and Dr. Develin belong to it. 135 SOCIOLOGY AND ECONOMICS CLUB Jean Moore President Margaret Ballard Vice-President OFFICERS Lucretia Martin Secretary Lois Lear Treasurer The Sociology and Economics Club, organ- ized in 1932, is composed of those students majormg in the department and those having had iwo courses in sociology or economics who sliow a genuine mterest in the work.

Consequently the greatest inspiration to activity in this club is found in study of these two phases of world history. This year, it has been the aim of the group to play a greater part in the life of the College, to bring outside speakers to address the student body, and to give to the members of the club a foundation for further understanding of international affairs. Some of their study has been centered on the Scandinavian countries, France, Germany, and the Far East. Each week, the college has had the opportunity of hearing Dr. Develin and other faculty members discuss current events. L ' ALLIANCE FRANCIAS OFFICERS Julia Ridgely President Clemmie Carter Vice-President Julia Worthington Secretary- Treasurer The minutes of the Cercle Francais go back to 1924. In 1929- ' 30 the club joined the Alliance Francaise of the United States and Canada, taking the name of L ' Alliance Fran- caise. This year the club has been unusually suc- cessful and worthwhile, through combining the amusing with the serious in its meetings, in pre- senting the French film, Mayerling, and in establishment of French tables once a week in both Refectories for the encouragement of French conversation.

Its aim is to give to every girl in college, and to the Seniors in particular, a tangible remembrance of their college days and a vivid resume of the activities and events of the year. Work on the book itself is relegated to two divisions of a staff, chosen by the Editor-in-Chief and the Business Manager, respectively, but there is mutual help and cooperation m striving toward a common goal. Members of either staff find valuable experience, as well as pleasant activity in their work, presenting as it does opportunities for business experience, the exercise of originality and ingenuity, and a concrete lesson in the effort and adjustments inherent in working with others on a project in which each girl has a vital interest. The first Briar Patch was published some twenty-eight years ago, and consequently the scope of the book has developed along with Sweet Briar itself, embodying the growing traditions and institutions of the college in its own progress. The larger sized book was adopted in 1936-37, thus giving more space for the portrayal of the life of the college. The entire Briar Patch staff presents the present edition to the Seniors as a farewell token of their admiration and affection, and to the rest of the student body with the hope that they may find incorporated herein some of the love for Sweet Briar, for her traditions, her ideals, her beauty and graciousness which have gone into the making of the volume.

C ongratulations are due its Editor and Business Manager for their energy and resourcefulness in making progressive im- provements in the content and journalistic merit of the paper. The elements of which the Nen s is made up are: accounts of college happenings, letters rep- resenting student opinion, news items concerning world events, and exchanges from contemporary collegiate press. In addition to the usual feature, that chatty column, Betty the Briante, further variety has been added this year by the inclusion of such columns as the Roving Reporter, ' Style Slants, and Around Campus. The use of more photographic records has also in- creased the vividness and attractiveness of the paper.

Its aim is lo increase interest in good writing and to provide a medium for the expression of personal talent, as well as the op- portunity for creative experience. Fach issue contains an assorlment of poetry, short stories, essays, plays and book reviews, contributed by students of the four classes. InU-resI and enjoyment arc derived from the publication both by those who write for it and those who read it. A special project is the Annual Bramhlcr contest, in which prizes are awarded to superlative achievement in any of the various literary fields. The staff is composed of editorial and business groups, who work with the help and inspiration of Mr. Joseph Dexter Bennett, the Faculty Advisor. I he two staffs gather every few weeks at meetings for the purpose of planning projects and judging literary contributions presented for publication. This ear an event of especial note was the enjoyable farewell parly given by the Brambler staff for Mr. Bennett previous to his departure on sabbatical leave. STUDIO CLUB Betty Barnes President Founded two years ago the Studio Club has achieved the valuable purpose of increasing inter- est in applied and aesthetic art and of providing added opportunity for students to gain experience in drawing and painting. The members of the club gather frequently for sketching expeditions, discussions of projects, and picnics. Important among their activities is the supervision and execu- tion, in a large part, of art work for May Day. The work of the club benefits from the expert guidance and advice of Mrs. Scott, Miss Wil- cox, and Dr. Connor who belong to the organi- zation. 3ETTV Barnes MEMBERS Bartelt, Chichester, Frost, Mackinnan.

Conlesls. exhibits, and ihal inhercnl fascination of piclure-laking are all aiding in pulling ihe club before ihe enlirc communily. To supplement taking the pictures, the club has outfitted a small dark-room where the members can delve into the mysteries of developing and printing. The club sponsor. Dr. Edwards, and other members of the communily who have a real interest in photography are of great assistance in lending equipment and in givmg much-needed information. By continued interest on the part of ihe members, the club should offer some of ihe most intriguing projects on the campus. To parallel and augment mental development, we have ample opportunilv for healthful phvisical exercise.

ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION Clean sportsmanship, healthy competition, athletic excellence, group cooperation, the o 6 principle of a sound mind in a sound body : These are the things for which athletics at Sweet Briar stand. An admirable balance for the intellectual life of the college is the work done under the supervision of the Athletic Association. Organized under the A. A. are ten major sports: Lake, Hockey, Lacrosse, Basket- ball, Riding, Hiking, Tennis, Archery, and the Dance. In these departments competition and exercise are provided between individuals, groups, classes, and neighboring colleges, con- sidering the excellent coaching provided by the Physical Education instructors. Miss Rog- ers, Miss Davis, Miss Stael, and Miss King and the zealous training and outstanding ability of Sweet Briar ' s athletes, it is not surprising that a high standard in sports is to be found here on campus. The Athletic Association is a well-organized body under the capable leadership of its president and executive committee.

Every May swimming teams and boating crews match their skill on Lake Day, last year ' s awards going to the class of 1940 and the special honors to Mary Judd. A picturesque Lake event is Gala Night, when the classes vie with one another in presenting beautiful and original floats. Last year the Class of 1940 carried off the prize at this occasion too. Added interest on Gala Night comes m the form of the athletic awards of the second semester which are made at this time. There ' s work and play to be found amid the beautiful surroundings of the Lake, and every Sweet Briarite loves it. . . Mary Miller HcaJ of Lake COUNCILLORS npbell, Currie, Fernley, Frazier, H Judd.

This year against the elements as well as against William and Mary (7-1 ) ; Madison College (9-0) ; and Westhampton (5-1 ). Although completely waterlogged, it was a proud and happy group that returned from Fredericksburg and the Vir- ginia Tournament to announce that eight members of the team had been asked to go to the Southeast Tournament in Washington. Here again Sweet Briar was honored by hav- ing four of its members picked to represent the Southeast section at the National Tournament in snowy Philadelphia. Not only did the Varsity work hard for its medals but also within the college there was enthusiastic participation in thirty-three games, the championship finally going to the Class of ' 39.

Vongehr LACROSSE Lacrosse is still a comparatively new sport at Sweet Briar and its popularity and the enthusiasm which it arouses are increasing rapidly each year. This season ther e were approximately sixty girls out for Lacrosse. Class games were played throughout the fall, but due to poor weather, the schedule could not be completed. In the Interclass competi- tion, the Senior-Sophomore team was victorious. At the close of the season, the Varsity and Sub-Varsity teams were selected. They played one game which ended in a 6-1 victory in favor of the Varsity. It is hoped that next year the Varsity players will be able to challenge other college teams. Barbara Godfrey Head of Baseball BASEBALL Baseball is one of the favorite spring sports at Sweet Briar. Although it provides no intercollegiate competition, there are usually class games and tour- naments, plus many practices throughout the season. For the past few years, it has not been offered for credit, but enjoys great popularity among those girls who take it optionally, and who play for recreation, exercise and pleasure. During the 1938 season, the highlights were the interclass game won by the Senior-Sophomore team, 1 1-2, and the Campus Character-Varsity game which ended in a 1 to 10 tie. The excitement over the latter resulted in another sched- uled competition which the Varsity won 1 0-6. Fernley, Fr VARSITY Godfrey, Gurney, Ha an. Judd.

The many girls who turn out for it find exercise, recreation and excitement, along with the excellent training which they receive. Not only do the girls actually participating in this sport derive great pleasure from it, but every Sweet- briarite enjoys watching the exciting basketball games in the gym. Varsity competition is provided by such teams as Virginia Intermont, William and Mary College, Westhampton College and Beaver College. In addition to intercol- legiate games, exciting contests take place among the classes and among the Houses, notable this year was the novel idea of the North vs. South game, in which the lanks repeated history by vanquishing the Rebel? once more.

Ringer, Sterrett Hazel Sterrett HcaJ of RUlng RIDING Riding enthusiasts can indulge in their favorite sport throughout the entire year at Sweet Briar, for the newly completed indoor riding ring makes this possible. In the early part of the year there are many fox hunts and drags which are especially enjoyable on brisk autumn days. The highlight of the hunting season is the Thanksgiving fox hunt, an annual tradition at Sweet Briar. Spring days are ideal for picnics and the clear, bright nights for moonlight rides. At the stables one can always find a suitable mount for hunting or hacking, and in the surrounding countryside are miles of trails and dirt roads. Early in the fall Sweet Briar girls participate in the Amherst County Horse Show, and in the spring in the Junior League Horse Show in Lynchburg. The climax of the year, however, is Sweet Briar ' s own show, held at May Day, exclusively for the students. HIKING The lovely hills and woodland sur- rounding Sweet Briar campus make hiking one of the most allurmg of the sports. Excursions mto the famous Vir- ginia countryside afford the relaxation of contact with natural beauty along with healthy outdoor exercise. Well-mapped trails wind everywhere over the hills about the campus. Long hikes lead ambitious and energetic Sweet Bnarites to pictur- esque spots such as Crab Tree Falls or Kentucky Ridge, while shorter walks may be found in abundance on and around the campus: the road to the Lake, to the gate, beyond Red Top, or the Sunset Road leading to Monument Hill. To add to the charm of the great outdoors, we now have the Outing Club Cabin, a dream realized through hard work, satisfying effort, and happy cooperation. To Miss Davis and the Student Committee under her guidance is due a great part of the credit for this well equipped and attractive spot for week-end trips or picnic meals.  Lois Fernley Head of Hiliing CABIN LE.ADERS Douccir, Fcrnlcy.

Of all the sports at Sweet Briar, tennis attracts the greatest number of enthusiastic young athletes. Tournaments and inter-class contests provide competitive interest, while an important event is the community tournament in the fall. Faculty and students, alike, participate in this contest. Great enthusiasm is always shown in the Fresh- man Tournament which takes place at the beginning of the year. Outside competition was provided last spring through a match with William and Mary College, while inter-class con- tests resulted in a tied-triumph for the classes of 1940 and 1941. Head of Tennis Alice McBee Head of ArcherX) ARCHERY From Freshmen to faculty. Sweet Briar is full of enthusiam for this time-honored sport. Less strenuous than other forms of athletic exercise, archery requires, nevertheless, a high degree of skill and technical perfection. Each week during the season either crazy shoots or serious tournaments are held, with separate divisions for beginning and advanced archers. The results of these contests and the highest indi idual scores are recorded on the College Ladder, while the Varsity Team enters the Intercollegiate Telegraphic Tournament in the spring. THE DANCE The dance at Sweet Briar, ever gaining in importance as an integral part of life in the college, received an additional stimulus this fall in the form of a Week of Dance. The college was most fortunate in having Charles Weidman, one of America ' s leading dancers, teaching here during that week, and taking an active part in the Dance Sympos ium at the end of the week. The Symposium was of importance as being a participation in technique demonstrations and a pro- gram of dances by several colleges besides Sweet Briar; namely, Randolph- Macon, Hollins and Farmville State Teachers College. Through this Dance Symposium, the Dance Department wished to give the colleges an opportunity to discuss the dance and their approaches to it. Dancing at Sweet Briar is not only done as a part of the physical education program, but also as an extra-curricular activity organized into clubs, or groups. An able and inter- ested student has the opportunity to go from Tanz Zirkel, with its more elementary work, to the Dance Group which does more advanced work. Certain selected members of either can go into Choreography Group which specializes in dance composition. The dance takes an active part in the aesthetic program of the college.

PARKE COMPANY PHILADELPHIA PITTSBURGH @F ' New COMPLEXIONS for MODERN FLOORS The rug is no longer a decorative problem — if you choose Tex-Tred and Sof-Tred for your floors For here are rugs you can bring right into the room planning picture — rugs you can do things with. You can match them to the complexion of a room OS precisely as you do your drapes, upholsteries and wallpapers. You can blend and accent them in any desired proportion. You can treat them OS a neutral background, with a mere touch of color emphasis, or make them as gay and exciting as you please Both Sof-Tred and Tex-Treds are reversible, washable, durable and moth-proof. While being used in some of the finest homes in the coun- try they are also ideal for dorm and sorority house rooms. Sof-Treds are priced to meet the most economical needs — Tex-Treds only G trifle more costly. See them before the next school opening — the best stores throughout the country sell them. t I GEORGE S.
