Sweet Briar College - Briar Patch Yearbook (Sweet Briar, VA)

Text from Pages 1 - 220 of the 1940 volume:

Bt fflWft t ASS 0 SMiftWlMi nm To Virginia from Vermont m the early years of the eighteenth century, came EHjah Fletcher. He married Marie Anlomette Crawford, of the Plantation of Tusculum, and through the years ac- quired of the rolling red Amherst County land more than eight thousand acres. Sweet Briar Plan- tation. Elijah had a daughter who married James Henry Williams and they in turn had a daughter, Daisy. A clever, affectionate, practical girl was Daisy, observant, sensitive to the beauty of her home. She was interested in everything and everyone on the plantation. We know from her diary, some of the things that caught her attention through the days. Martha and I set out twenty-one little evergreens today. . . . Blossom has a calf. ... I began my lessons today, French, Italian, Literature, Rhetoric, Astronomy and good many other things. . . . There is a man at the Courthouse sick with the smallpox. ... I rode with Logan to look at the little calfs and up in the mountain. . . . Last night a mink killed four sitting hens. . . . The most beautiful day I most ever saw, the mountains are clear and deep blue and the air is so sweet with the mock orange. Daisy died when she was sixteen. Mr. and Mrs. Williams, that she might be remem- bered, planned that Sweet Briar should become a college. This is Sweet Briar College, founded in 1901 in memory of Daisy Williams. To the girls who come here through the years. Sweet Briar gives much, but nothing of greater value than two things it gave also to Daisy Williams: the experience of being a member of a simple friendly community, and the remembrance of days spent among scenes of gracious, natural beauty. li i xefmM r f, m L I L TOIilHnOllREH ' llfliDII r n i UL • 0 r i urn Jj In the pages that follow, we bring you Sweet Briar as we have known it. Through each part of this book. College Classes, Organizations, Athletics, May Day, we hope you will find in future years words that suggest happy mem- ories, a face that recalls a friend, a scene that brings back thoughts of old surroundings. And although we have printed here only material things, we hope that in these pages you will see reminders of the gracious beauty that can accompany college life, of lasting friendships, of valuable work, of all the things we are glad to think are the heart of life at Sweet Briar. wiiiii m iiMir n IIICE DMO IIU To Bernice Drake Lill, faculty advisor to the Class of Nineteen Hundred and Forty-one, we dedicate the 1940 Briar Patch. With sincere appreciation we acknowledge the enthusiastic help she has given to every one of us since our first days at Sweet Briar, and offer her our undying admiration and our lasting esteem.

As a group the Alumnae Association has been active in keeping up the contacts between those who were Sweet Briar and those who are Sweet Briar of today. The Alumnae Nexvs brings to the alumnae events of interest on the campus, or those affecting Sweet Briar alumnae directly or indirectly. Each year at Founders ' Day, as a memorial to a man who served Sweet Briar first as legal advisor and later as chair- man of its board of directors, the Alumnae Association gives the Manson Memorial Scholarship to an upperclassman, who in addition to distinguishing herself in the academic fields, has shown qualities which make her a real leader and contributor to the life of Sweet Briar College. On October 27, 1939, the Manson Memorial Scholarship was awarded to Elizabeth Duke Lee of Wusih, China, a member of the class of 1 940. Sweet Briar Day, held during the Christmas season on December 28th, brings the alumnae together in their many alumnae clubs and groups with students now attending Sweet Briar. 1 he students are thus enabled to know the alumnae of their vicinity, and to Bi e former students a new contact with the college and its development. cussis ' e jca v ,n 1 4 1 ' - en -e is (f H 1 1 n.

THE STUDENT OFFICERS Elizabeth Duke Lee President Mary Blair Bunting Vice-President Ann Baxter Adamson Secretary Helen Anne Littleton Treasurer Elizabeth Lee EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE Bunting, Adamson, Gill, Campbell, Littleton, Lloyd, James, Boynton, Burnett, Shepherd GOVERNMENT ASSOCIATION ADVISORY COUNCIL The tradition of Student Government is of long standing at Sweet Briar, having been inaugurated in 1906. At that time the stu- dent body obtained the right of self govern- ment, a right which has since been an in- tegral part of the life of the college. Every student is given, through her membership in the Association, the opportunity to develop a sense of individual and community respon- sibility. The Executive Committee is com- posed of the officers of the association, the six house presidents and the President of the Freshman class. This year the House Councils were arranged with the idea of placing more responsibility in the hands of every student and of giving each girl the opportunity to profit by the actual adminis- tration of her own government. House Coun- cils are small groups in each of the six dor- mitories to whom the executive committee delegates the power to administer the Cam- pus, House, Social, and Smoking Regula- tions of the Association. Every girl in college belongs to a House Council at some time during the year. The Advisory Council con- sists of representatives from the various or- ganizations and the four classes. It is the place of the group to consider, with sugges- tions and criticisms, matters of general com- munity interest.

Treasurer High spiritual and humanitarian prin- ciples make the Y. W. C. A. an influential body in Sweet Briar life and in that of the community. Friendly relations on campus, vital Christian living and philanthropic serv- ice, these are the high aims toward which the Y. W. C. A. works. The Y shows an interest in the students of Sweet Briar even before they arrive on cam- pus, by sending them a handbook to inform them of all the rules, regulations, traditions of their new home. When students arrive they are entertained with a party introducing them to the easy familiarity of Sweet Briar life. The Y. W. C. A. coffee hours through- out the year are invaluable in fostering and increasing cordial relations between faculty and students. The evening chapel services have become through their simplicity and serenity, a cherished part of the life here at Sweet Briar. The activities of the Y. V. C. A. are not limited to our own campus; they include the maintenance of educational and recreational activities for the children in several Amherst County schools, participation in national con- ferences and contacts with other branches of the ' .

She must cooperate in stu- dent and community activities, and try to promote an interest in art, literature, and science. A high standard of academic work is presupposed, but even more emphasis is laid upon attitude and effort in behalf of Sweet Briar. The value of an honorary society of the nature of Tau Phi lies both in the ideals it holds and the challenge it pre- sents to the community. It remains useful as long as its members ' activity expresses these ideals and the community continues to think them valuable. New Tau Phis are announced each fall at the first step singing of the year, and the announcement is always attended with much excitement. The activities of Tau Phi include usher- ing at lectures and concerts and taking charge of the Browsing Room and the Study Galleries of the Library on Sunday.

This organization, composed of representatives of the three upper classes attempts to welcome and ac- climate the new students in the academic, social and extra-curricular activities of the college life. The members of the com- mittee become acquainted with their groups of Freshmen durmg the summer, and in the fall attempt to bring them to- gether by means of mformal picnics, din- ners, and parties.

The committee is composed of thirteen seniors and one junior whose duties in- clude acting as hostesses in the dining room, where on Friday night they provide music during dinner, acting as hostesses for lectures and concerts, sponsoring Saturday night dances, regulating social standards, and dealing with social problems that arise.

The club gives to every girl interested in the theater an opportunity to work in whatever department she may choose. The members of Paint and Patches find means of self-expression not only in acting but in de- signing, and creating scenery and costumes, in handling stage lighting, and make up. In December the club produces a play with cast and staff chosen entirely from among the new students at Sweet Briar. SCHOOL FOR HUSBANDS The first presentation of Paints and Patches in 1939-40 was Arthur Guiterman ' s adaptation of School for Husbands by Molicre. This play was a landmark in the development of the club as it combined for the first time the work of the departments of music, dancing, and drama. THE ADDING MACHINE The second large production of the year was the Adding Machine by Elmer Rice, presented by Paint and Patches in March. The December production was three one- act plays, Riders to the Sea by J. M. Synge, Maker of Dreams by Oliphant Downs, Marriage Proposal by Anton Chekhov. These plays were produced by new students. Paint and Patches ended an extremely successful season with the presentation of Shakespeare ' s As ou Like It. This play was given at Commencement in the Box- wood Gardens. SONG LEADERS Step Singing is one of the most characteristic of Sweet Briar ' s cus- toms. Every fine fall and spring Sunday afternoon, finds the entire school assembled in the quadrangle, to sing the school and class songs. Under the direction of the song leaders each class presents new and original songs as well as the tra- ditional ones. This year the song leader of the Senior class is Anna Mae Feuchtenberger; of the Juniors, Mary James; Sophomores, Phyllis Sherman; Freshmen, Anne Tweedy. Step Singing is the occasion of the announcement, in the fall, of the new members of Tau Phi, and in the spring of those of Q. V. Sherman. Feuchtenberger, Tweedy Q. V. Janf.t Lf.f.

V. is an honorary society of Sophomores, founded by the class of 1937. Members are chosen by the organization of the preceding year on the basis of their enthusiasm and con- structive attitude during their Freshman year. In order that they may work effectively, their identity is kept secret throughout their Sophomore year, until a step-singing early in May, when their names are announced. To be a member of Q. V. is not merely an honor, it is a challenge to live up to the best for which Sweet Briar stands. SWEET BRIAR CHOIR Cornelia Chalkley Head of Choir Louise Partrick. - Librarian The Sweet Briar choir is made up of members chosen for their vocal talent, mu- sical interest, and responsibility. Although its main purpose is to provide music for the Sunday church services, it is a vital part of several other special services throughout the year, among them the Christmas Carol Service and the Baccalaureate Service in June. This year, as an innovation, the choir sponsored the formation of the Chapel Choir. This organization provides the music for the weekly chapel services.

In fact. Sweet Briar knows the Chung Mungs chiefly by their white Chung Mung robed mid-night marches and their stirring chants. But these thirteen upper classmen who are chosen for being particularly prominent in all fields of college life and being particularly consecrated to the insti- gation and procreation of the well-rounded college citizen from a group whose fine spirit and worthwhile aims make them a powerful influence on campus. Chung Mung lends its originality and vitality to many worthwhile ends. Its members sponsor the Annual Red Cross Roll Call at Sweet Briar, and this year more than doubled the collections of any previous year. In its more frivolous moments the Club provides hilarious entertainment for the college, with such diversion as a Circus, a play, and the Chung Mung Calendar.

THE 1940 ANNE DEWEY, Editor The Briar Patch is, each year, the project of the Junior class. As far as is practical, an attempt is made for the class as a whole to participate in its publication. Although most of the work is done by an appointed staff under the direction of the Editor and Business Manager, the cooperation and under- standing of the entire class play a great part in its successful completion. Work on an annual of the size and the scope of the Briar PatcH gives to the members of the staff valuable experience in art work. writing, business transaction, and other fields of journalism. The staff of the Briar PatCH has initiated sev- eral changes this year. Chief among these is the writing of a constitution in order to secure a more efficient administration of the organization. In addition, the staff has produced a supplement to the book in the form of a separately bound May Day section. The proceeds from the sale of this supplement are to be given by the staff to the Auditorium Fund. Anne Dewey EDITORIAL STAFF Bagby, Baldwin, Breedlove, Brown-Serman, Cantey, Engh, James, Kirk.

A counc il of Junior and Senior Lifesavers is effectively working during these times, to insure safety for swim- mers. In the spring, on Lake Day, students have the opportunity to take part in swimming, boating, and canoe races, and a competitive meet is held between the classes.

Groups may spend the night there or they may go up during the day to split and saw wood, or if a person is of an artistic nature, a bench or table may be built. The cabin makes a nice half-way house for hikes to the mountain. Bells and regulations may become tedious, but e en a debutante ' s nerves could be soothed by the super slumber and the hilarious fun that old clothes, good steaks, excellent company, i)rovide at the cabin.

Hardball has always been played. This year, however. Softball, as part of the winter games program, was intro- duced and proved very popular. The highlight of the season is the Campus Character- Varsity game at which time both the faculty and the students turn out to cheer their respective teams. The game usually ends with the challenge to another game the next week. The season normally consists of bi-weekly practices, interclass games and the Campus Character games. BASEBALL TEAM Appell, Currie, Godfrey, Greene, Gurney, Lembeck, Schmid, Shaw, Withington Barbara Godfrey ' M Mi«L TENNIS Eunice Foss, Head of Tennis Tennis at Sweet Briar begins in the fall when an enthusiastic lot of players throng to the six fine courts which are in constant demand. Although this popular sport is not given for academic credit in the fall, there are two tournaments, one for Freshmen and another for the community. These create much interest, but unfortunately by their completion, winter has ar- rived and it is necessary to put aside racquets until spring when the tennis season opens again. Then inter-class and inter-scholastic games cause much excitement, and rivalry between teams is great.

Copper, the oldest of the metals of commerce, was first mined and used by man before the days of Menes, the first Egyptian King who reigned about 4 500 B. C. Through the flight of centuries the frag- ments of history left to us by primitive man are fragments of copper. His copper hatchets, his knives and copper spearheads, and his few crude copper appliances for toil and comfort, tell us all that is known of that evolutionary period of civilization. Historians tell us that copper was first found by a half savage tribe that inhabited the Island of Cyprus. The metal was so useful that it became their most cherished possession. They named it in honor of their home, Cyprian Metal. It has kept that name through the ages. Our tongues changed it to Copper. Without copper there would not be possible today most modern inventions which have made this the greatest age in all the history of all the world. Modern civilization would falter, for copper permeates all modern progress. In everyday life it is the agent of business and industry and the promoter of our comforts. The rust loss in the United States annually exceeds a billion dollars. That is more than the interest on the National Debt. Copper and its alloys, brass and bronze, are nonferrous metals and cannot rust. We will be very glad to send you upon request a copy of our book our Home, Protect it with Copper, Brass and Bronze.
