This year we cele- brated the fiftieth anniversary of Sweet Briar Col- lege. Nineteen fifty-one is a landmark in our his- tory for still another reason — it is the fiftieth year since the seal of our college was designed. Dr. John McBryde planned this design carefully. He thought that an appropriate seal for the college should include the arms or some emblem of the family endowing Sweet Briar. The Tudor Rose in the first and fourth quarters indicates not only Virginia, but the eglantine or Sweet Briar rose which once grew wild on the Fletcher estate before the college was founded. The second quarter holds the Fletcher arm.s, and the county is shown by the arms of Lord Amherst occupying the third quarter. These fifty years have broadened and enriched the meaning of the seal; and so we find that this anni- versary is the time for us to take stock of some of the things for which it stands, not only to those who first used it, but to us today. a mz. 7Z(H In order to receive the Sweet Briar seal as a stamp upon our diplomas we must k throuj h the Sweet Briar mill, working, playing, living, and learning together. These pages contain the chronicle of activities that will make us what we are at the very moment when we step up to receive those precious sheepskins. Happily combining study and play, we have romped through Freshman labs to find ourselves waist-deep in Classical Civilization, and added to that, enough modern dance and basketball tcj take up time that might once have been spent in making daisy chains. The seal recalls the honor system, a senior show, a Bum Chum party, a Paint and Patches production. Late evening cigarettes and gay week-ends are parts of this recollec- tion, too. At the center of this happy remembrance are our professors, who have opened new horizons for us, and have enabled us to probe new depths of human knowledge. The seal is very much more to us than an in- strument of legahty, authenticating a diploma. It is a symbol, stamped upon our hearts, authenticat- ing each one of us as a Sweet Briar graduate. It can never be erased, for we carry its imprint with us wherever we go, and it leaves a mark upon all those with whom we come in contact. Ko am quae meruit ferat. ... As we continue the line of those who have borne and merited the rose, we add an- other link to the chain forged by our predecessors — new meaning to the seal which will be stamped upon our successors. - tt f I A ?SiC. We humbly dedicate this book to those who have gone before us. Each brick, each text, each tree, is a symbol to the living memory of the founders, faculty, staff, and students who have given something of their minds, bodies, and hearts to create the college we know today. As we fulfill more and more of Sweet Briar ' s dreams we never lose sight of those who have laid the foundations for ful- fillment and have opened our eyes to the fact that the knowledge and experience gained but highways to the future, when they will enable us to understand and appreciate all in hfe.

In no time, however, things liegau to take shape and you realized, .suddenly, that you liked it here. You liked the Honor System — the great resj onsiliility it gave you and its confi- denee in your maturity. You liked your studies, their wide scope and importame — different from high school lessons. You entered wholeheartedly into activities — nailed flats, wrote news articles, and outplayed upperclassmen in hockey. You liked the people who shared your interests, goals, and weekends at Char- lottesville and Lexington. So you decided, like many hefore you. that you helonged. This was college, this was Sweet Briar. The nuirk of the seal was visihle in vou already.

We, the students, have been given more and more iiHli i(lual responsibility, and our Student Govern- ineiit has emerged as a reflection ol ' our ability to accei)t these responsibilities. Our school functions under a tri- ])artite svstem of spheres of authority which includes a student sphere, a joint faculty-student sphere, and a faculty spiiere. The students deal with most non-academic matters through the Executive Council, the Judicial Board, the Inter- Dormitory Council, the Inter-Club Council, and the standing committees, while the joint faculty-student matters are handled by College Council. But Student Government has a more all-encompassing scojie of influence than these councils. Kai-h of us at Sweet Biiar is a mcndier of the Association, and its responsibilities are ours as a whole and individually. As the basic principle of this, we necessarily find an Honor System. Uw without a definite and recognized basis of truth, the effectiveness of Student Government would be lost. To become nuaubers of Sweet Briar ' s Student (iov- ernnient .Association, we pledge ourselves to take full res]ionsil)ilily for the maintenance of the highest ideal of hon- or ' here. This ideal applies to every phase of college life fnim a-ademic wcii ' k to social life to athletics, and in all these phases, a Sweet Briar girFs woiil is her lioiid. It is up to ber to decide in many cases what is the right thing to do. but she must truly believe in what she does in order to justify the ciiiilidcnce placed in ber by our system of Stu- dent Government. This freedom carries the recognized responsibility that we all must resjK ' ct the Sweet Briar rules as having grown out of yeai-s of tliouglit and experience. In ]9t)6, the students presented the following request to the faculty: The students id ' Sweet Briar College, believing that there is honor and dignity in student government, desire individual and I ' ommuiiity responsibility for the conduct of students in matters not strictly academic. W ' c still liclie e in this lamor and ilignity. and are jiroud til live under a system that embodies these ])rinciples.

Founded ' way back in the first years for the creation and development of an active interest in all branches of the drama, it was then made up of two parts; the Ripplers and the Merry Jesters. The Ripplers ' i)lays, given out-of-doors with almost no staging, were good even then; the Jesters followed another path (alas!) and became an (irganizatimi which is unmeiitioiial)le here. P. and P., Sweet Briar ' s dramatic club, gives three jilays a year, one of which is especially for non-members to try their hand at both the work of the crews and the actual acting. This year P. and P. tried something new and ])ut on the operetta Ilaiisel and Gretel. ' ' Their lirst production was The Rivals. ' Evcryliody is invited to contribute time and talent to the plays. Some bamiiier back-stage on .sets, some pull liglit-switclies, some paint scenery. Slime work as make-up artists or .stage-managers and some spend many hours learning the script and going over and over the scenes in long re- hearsals. But then the great night conies when we all crowd into Fletch- er auditorium and wait exjiectantly for the lights to dim. The curtains ]iart, and then those who worked with P. and P. know that it was well worth all the time and trouhl,.. and we share with tjiem the magic world of the theater.

And that is no easy job. It is an aecomplishment achieved only throui;h the hard work (ahiiost slave labor!) of IJandy and the editorial writers, news and feature writers, headline and jironf readers, photography, circu- latiiin anil typioi;- statl ' s. and thi ' ouuh the unfaltering cooperation of all its workers. There is always Sunday night panic with wasn ' t that article written? . . . Can you whip it oil now?, mis- spelled words, and the clatter of typewriters, ilonday night means jittery nerves and the smell of formaldehyde m ixed with that of wet news]iriiit (when the ropy has finally arrived!). The ballnuiMl lab echoes with three lines of 1 jioint clielt. ]dease and whei-e are we going to put the editorial? ' ' I ' ntil late hours tlie eager journalists work until the luake-u]! is final, the last headline has been written and every article has been accounted for. Tues- day means a journey to Amherst and by tlie grace of (iod. Mac. and the faithfid liniity]ie machine, the tiiud editiiui is comjileted. Bringing the news of the world and that of our community to us every week is a ilillicult task. It means many hours of writing and rewriting, and often re.search and delineation. But the final ju ' oduct is there in our mail boxes every Wednesday. ' ith Betty the Briarite we are caught up on the latest activities of our fellow socialites. Keep- ing in Toucli informs us on national ami international affairs. Tlie Xcir.s lets us know of visiting lecturers and guests on campus. The editorials give us that often needed reprimand and a discussion of pertinent subjects. Sport summaries inform us of what our more athletically inclined associates are doing. Tid-bits of the activities of other colleges are a valuable com]iarison for us in making our own progress in all elements of college life. Feature stories on faculty, staff and campus doings give us a clearer insight into the life of our comnmnity. In fact. y ' irs is such an inijxn ' tant part of our life at S. B. C. that it is hard to imagine how we could get along without it. BRIAR NEWS .Iciin K ' niiilolpli, h ilor-lii-Chlrl : .Ian..

Joanne Williams Edilor Ann Kilpatrick Business Manager HANDBOOK AND KEY Sweet Briar ' s Handbook is something none of us could do without, for it contains all the rules and regulations covering our cherished life at college. Into it goes careful planning by both faculty and student liiidy, to make certain that our extraordinary honor system is under- stood by all. The Key is just what its name imjilies — a key unlocking the mys- teries of college life so that the uninitiated nuiy behold. Sent to the Frosh before their arrival it explains the various campus organizations and tells what sort of clothes to bring for their new (rip-roaring I) social life.

Being lionest lassies, as the above dclinitiini attests, we give homage where it is due. We are grateful to all those who racked their brains contriljnting the jirinted word, to those who wore out weaiv fingers with endless typing, and to the little camera fiends, always on the spot with those flash-bulbs. We (hank our beaver of an Editor-in-Chief, whose clear vision and insistence helped us to be prompt in carrying out her very original plans. But most of all we thank Miss Fraser, who gave us the theme that unifies our yearbook and lent a strong and hel])ing hand that we could not have done without. ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION Mattiis, Tn ■ .cciclai ' y. Looking into our past,, we find tliat tlie Atliletie Association is as old as tlie Sfliool. In 1910, wlien tlie first rlass graduated, tliere were tliree executive officers and four lieads of sports (baslvetbali, golf, tennis, and boating) on A. A. Higblights of the year were the Fall Championship Basketball Game, and Field Day. The latter was a groat occasion with high-jumping, broad-jumping, and a hundred yard dasli. A cup was awanled to the champion of the day. Then, as now, athletics played a major part in life at Sweet Briar. The A. A. Executive Committee is made up of the three executive officers and the eleven heads of sports. Throughout the year they work to keej) all sports running smoothly and to stimulate interest. Every season offers many opportunities for different sports, and every sport offers fun and achievement. Awards are given to those girls who have secured a certain number of points by participation and who have shown interest and qualities of good sportsmanship. This has been a good year, fi-om fall and the A ' irginia Field Hockey Association Tournament, to spring and Gala Night.

There is instruction in posi- tion and control under liliss l?ogers and Mr. l ailey which includes ring work, jinnj)ing and cross-country riding around our nuiny acres of panelled lields and woods. The rewards for this lie in schooling your own ' colt or hoi ' se and in the ]irivilege of lieing allowed to participate in the outside horse shows, and di ' ag hunts. Hunting is the highlight of the fall season. Our jiack of hounds has douliled in nundjcr and the kennel has been enlarged with the addition of the Bedford County drag pack. There are other fall events : an outside show in connection with the Amherst Fair, the Bedford Fall Show, and a Fall Horsemanship Show which calls forth speculation as to who will he the winner of the Xew Girls ' class and who will gain ])OSsession of the Fayette Brown Challenge Trophy for the year. The highlight of the winter sea-on is Captain Littauer ' s visit. These four days ai ' e lilled with classes on in- struction in specific techniques, and lecture-demonstrations, terminating in a rlinic ol ' criticism and a discussion of new methods open for outside riders representing ten colleges and schools. |)iii-ing this sea.son there are more drag hunts and a modified point-to-point where fo.xiness is emphasized rather than speed. The nuiin event of the spring is our invitation Hunter Show on the Saturday liefore ilay Day. Here the classes are well lilled with many of our riders, friends from other colleges, and just plain friends. The outside courses for the different classes are becoming varied as the fields surrounding the show ring are ])anel]ed and used. There is also a Spring Horsemanship Show when the Blackwell Trophy is awarded to the liest rider. All these activities are managed l)y cither of two organizations: the Sweet Briar Hunt, composed of the most active of those who hunt, who take care of the drags on Wednesday and Saturday; and the Eiding Council, com- posed of all Riding Leaders and A rider.s, who manage all general riding and encourage otliers to participate in the sport.

Merce Cunningham, who alsd adheres to the Martha Graham scliool. ]ierformed for us last March at our Arts Symposium and gave us a Inrther idea of what the technique at its hest could he. This year we have Miss Elizaheth Spies as dance instructor. She is a talented follower of Jose Limon. whose technique concentrates on the ]irinciple of balance. He is concerned with the fall and the rehound. with the ])ull of gravity and onr natural impulse to light against it. Again we were fortunate in having a ma-ter of the dance. Mr. Limon himself, come to Sweet I ' .riar. With the guidance of iliss Sjiies we are attempting this new and inter- esting technique. Besides the very r( appea ,r th, two metliods, the enthusiasm of liss Spies and iliss Berea has furthered classes in dance, we have three cluhs devoted to those who are jiarticularly interested in it. These are Tauz Zirkel, Dance Group, and Choreography. They usually have one or two dance recitals a year and perform at our May Day ceremonies. At the beginning of each year they give a demonstration for all those who might be interested in taking dance. Dance at Sweet Briar has become more than a choice for a gym requirement. All of our a.spiring young Pavlovas may be overheard, everywhere and anywhere on the campus, jn ' oclaimijig the merits of this stim- ulating and enjoyable artistic e.xercise. 107 BASKETBALL First Row: Werh ' , Locke, Co-heads. Second Rotv: Davis, Taylor, S. A., Wartield, Petesch, Magee, Greer, Ford, Breitenger, Brawiier. With the end of Tliaiilcsgiving vacation and the lieginning of ecdd weather, has ketliall takes tlie limelight in sportf; at Sweet Briar, and the fast moving game ]iredominates tlie gym activity of the winter season. Uver half of this season ' s si.xteen-uiemher varsity were v eterans of hist year ' s arsity team, and the Monday, Wednesday, and Friday practice sessions i)lus the addition of outstanding new ])layers well equipped the Sweet Briar squad for its four inter-collegiate games. On l)eceml)er 1.5. the varsity played Lynchliurg College at Sweet Briar, and after Christmas vacation and exams they made a two day trip over the week-end of Feljruarv 17 to play William and Mary at Williamsburg. The following week-end they played Madison, and on March 3 they ended the scheduled inter-collegiate games when they encountered Westhampton. The annual basketball Play Day with Hollins and l?andoIj)h-Macon was lield before spring vacation, and the season officially closed with a l)asketball banquet. Co-heads this year were Connie Werly and Nan Locke who planned the season so that all students had the chance of taking part in many games. The varsity practices on Friday afternoons were open to everyone, and large attendance proved these games some of the most ])opular of optional student sports. The success of the 1950-1951 sea.son was due not only to the interest in varsity games, but to the rivalry be- tween inter-class teams as well. Ineligibility of varsity members in inter-class competition resulted in a greater par- ticipation of the student body as a whole in the Tuesday and Thursday afternoon class games than has been the case in past seasons. Of the four classes, tlie greatest interest seems to have been taken by the Freshmen and the large number of green uniforms on the courts [n ' oved that the Sweet Briar yearlings weren ' t ' greenies when it came to playing basketball ! 108 TENNIS ( ifalli ' V, IviNii ' v. Tliayri-, t ' upln ' ui Whetlier ov not we ' re athletic, evervojie of us is seen at some time lieading for the tennis courts during spring and fall afternoons. The rush to reserve courts and the multitude of vacquette-bearing girls headed to tennis classes serve as a clear indication of the ]io|iularity of this s]iort. Aside from helping us acquire that ])seudo-Florida sun tan and attract our favorite athletit ' men we realize that it is profitable for it develo])s l alance. accuracy, and agility of movement, all of which are essentials we strive for, olf as well as on the courts. Throughout the year. Harriet Thayer, the varsity team captain, iliss Spies, and Miss MacDonald ai-c liard at work ]iroviding a full schedule of activities for the tennis enthusiasts. Each s]n-ing, class teams participate in tournaments, and the varsity team chal- lenges such colleges as William and .Mai ' v. Kandolph-Macon and Hollins. The fall season is not without its share of activity, either, for it is during this time tbat the community and Freshman tournaments are held. Future varsity members often arise from these competitions, for everyone is given a chance to display her skill. When one sees the great amount of interest in tennis shown by all its participants here, be it in tournament or private backboard ])lay. it is obvious that this game ranks as one of the top sports at Sweet Briar. Eesults of its piijiularity are last year ' s tournament scores: S. B. C 3 Hollins 1 S. B. C 2 Randoli)h-Macon _.. 1 S. B. C -1 Randolph-Macon 109 i mmm LACROSSE First Koir: .Taao. Liiinl. Brawner.

AXXE HOAGLAXD Head of Games SefotMi € i a(tcC Oct 6cn. . . . Welcome to Sweet Briar ! The Freshmen descended upon us in the fall with mixed emotions (1). never dreaming it would be this bad (2) ! But just when they thought they ' d never disen- tangle themselves from red tape, our neighbors from Lexington and Charlottes- ville dropped in to look things over and stayed to have a wonderful time at the Barn Dance (3). Freshmen hadn ' t been here long when they saw Daisy ' s family ghosts coming down the hall — but no, it was only the Chung JIungs marciiing (4). After initiation (5). these gals really got down to work, and we enjoyed giving to charity at their wonder- ful (delicious!) auctions throughout the year. Found- er ' s Day came, bringing out our illustrious Seniors in their scholarly caps an l gowns (6). Mother and Dud found Sweet Briar as beauti- ful as our letters had de- scribed when they arrived for Parent ' s Day — and we enjoy- ed showing them off too ( 7 ) ! New members of Tau Phi, our upperclass honor organ- ization, were announced at the first Step Singing, which brought us all together (8). All had been eagerly await- ing the Senior Show, and Great Heavens, thanks to hours of work (9) and a surplus of talent (10), was a tremendous success. Foot- ball season took its share of our overnights (11). . . . 7t Acm en. and ecew € . . . Iiiit if vc r-oulfln ' t go to tlicrii, tlir- men (lilcss ' cm I) sometimes came to us (1).

Not when the fire gong soumls, and we found that (dinihing down tire escapes at 3 a. m. wasn ' t our favorite form of exercise ( 3 ) . When nights grew cold, the Bum t ' huni Holiday Inns warmed us with food and entertainment, while charity profited (4). There was no lack of ingenuity when someone decided to give a party. We even had a debut ball this season (5) ! The Freshman Fashion Show is traditional. It ' s fun to guess who the models will be, more fun to ogle the clothes ( 6 ) . Christmas was in the air ! Kids at heart, we took full advantage of an early snow ( T ) and the Mid- winter ' s Sno-Ball, where tin- sel, snowflakes, and soft music got us right in the spirit (8). Lynchburg came to Commons to help us with our Christmas lists (9), we began humming Jingle Bells as we walked to class, and dreams of mistletoe and tree trimming (10) put studies out of our heads for a little while (11). cutuancf OKcC eSnccan€f . . . We camp back from vaca- tion to find two wonderful surprise packages : Brigitte • iutlstadt. From (iermany (1) and Janet (iraham from Scotland (2 ) — two grand additions to our foreign stu- dent group. The Dark Ages fell in the form of exam period, and the Anilierst County Kooni and Commons were jiacked, as we tried to cram a .semester ' s worth of ' earning into our Jieads ( o ) ■ The ecli]ise was not total, however; we periodically came u]i for air — and food (4) ! After exams, we cele- brated a big occasion : the fiftieth anniversary of the signing of 8. B. ' s charter (5), and at the same time birthdays w-ere still the best excuse for dorm parties (6). Grey days brouglit the ]iop- cori industry a new profit, as We all journeyed into town foi- a movie (7). Lent was coming, so we all splurged till the ninth houi ' (8) ! A P. and P. jilay was in the otling . . . you could tell it by the noises in Fletcher (!•)... and we flocked to the gala opening of The Mad W ' nnuiu of ChnUlot (Itt). With warmer weather our energy returned, and many took off for an over- night hike to the cabin (11). V. TH ific cutd ;4 iniJt Eating again ? Who could resist a party? (And we noticfd even Q. V.

Marsh- mallows taste best, we found, when cooked over the fire at the Boathouse (2). Spring a[)[)eared — and so did fac- ulty perambulators, and the maternal streak came out in many seniors (3). A jiicnic? t ' an we join you ? Those groups of four or more grew prevalent as days grew warmer (4). Determined to take home a tan, we grab- bed our books and baby oil and took to the arcades. Hey. am I jieeling yet ( o ) ? Out of season for fire drills ? Don ' t be silly ! But by now weVl learned to grin ami bear em ((i). And what was more fun than a warm night and a hot dog ]iarty at the lake ( T ) ? A daily must is the afternoon re- treat to the Inn. where we collapse over a quick snack and a cigarette — or three (8). Comprehensives were coming. You could tell it by the strange way the seniors were acting (9), and the Juniors — rings in the offing — were already getting delu- sions of grandeur (10), but on moments like the middle of one of The Trio ' s songs — we knew the end would come all too soon (11).
