It was Polly whose exceptional executive ability guided the activities of the senior class, whose omnipresent friendliness manifested itself in her sponsoring the Osiron Club, who took more than an active interest in the C.G.O., and who inspired the literary undertakings of both the HYPHEN and the MILESTONES. We shall al- ways remember her sincerity, patience, and loyalty, for in her are found the qualities to which all girls at Ward-Bclmont aspire. Polly, as she appeared laughing behind the counter in the Tea Room; cheering her ' team on the athletic field; telling dry jokes from her Pub-ofTice chair; zipping around the circle in her red Chevie, Bessie; and deeply resenting her special nickname, Mother McCree, we shall never forget. Her ever-glowing spirit eternally will remain in our memories. And so to Miss Polly Fessey with inexpressable gratitude we dedicate this book. DR. JOHN A. MORROW IX MEMORIAM Black letters slither into words that weave themselves into thoughts, thoughts that tell the story of a man. It is a short story for most, months in length for some, a year for others, longer for a very few. It is the tale of a man who captured the imagination of our youth with his own vivid interest in us and our lives, a man whose own zeal inspired us to greater effort on behalf of our fellows, greater loyalty to the ideals for which we stand. His is a very human story, this man ' s, who smiled at us through the early morning mist, who laughed with us and poured into us a joy of living taken from his own deep well of life. The words continue and now they tell of rattling paper and the smell of chalk dust and how amid all this one man gathered up the knowledge of an age and gave it to us in small and simple words; how he, where others had failed, reconciled his science and his God. The letters grow fewer and cease. The words vanish. The thoughts arc scattered. Yet, the story, his story goes ever on and will continue while there are those of us that see mysteries of our world and recognize God ' s subtilty, both in nature and in man. And, so for now we say, John Morrow, hail to you sir, and farewell. PEMBROKE HALL THE PRESIDENT DR. ROBERT CALHOl N PROMNE President Dr IS greatly admired as this gracious and dignified all the highly treasurcablc Few college presidents are as highly esteemet Provine. Ward-Belmont girls shall always rem man who to them has incorporated in his cha attributes of a perfect southern gentleman. From the formal opening of school to the final graduation day every student looks to Dr. Provine for guidance, encouragement, and inspiration. His presence at the various campus activities, the club receptions, picnics, the Servants Party, the horse shows, the teas and dances has invariably added much towards making each a success. Long after their few years here have ended students will remember Dr. Provine as one of the greatest friends they have ever known. While still at school perhaps the immature student finds it hard to set definite values on man- kind but age will show her that Dr. Provine is one of the most real of all people. This year Dr. Provine has undertaken a new responsibility, that of teaching a class in philosophy. To add just such a task to all his innumerable duties as pres- ident is certainly a laudable act, for surely he is a very fine philosopher. Dr. Provine ' s abiding wisdom does most assuredly make him a fit subject for the old adage of the ancients that the truly wise man stands erect upon the earth with his feet planted firmly in it, his arms outstretched to all mankind, and his head in the celestial beauties of the spheres. ' Much Am I Bid? T H E DEANS MISS MARTHA ORDWAY Dean of Women In her third year as Dean of Women, Miss Martha Ordway was always ready and willing to listen to the problems of each and every student. Her many kindnesses, courtesies, and consid- erations are as much a part of her as she is of this school. Not only does she attend to problems, but she, also, attends to any and all social functions . . . concerts, club dances, and various things of that nature. She is as formal as she is informal. This marvelous southern lady, through wisdom and generosity, holds the respect and admiration of every student. DEAN CHILES VAN ANTWERP If we drop around to the room in the Academic Building marked Chiles Van Antwerp, Dean, we are greeted by the friendly smile of a person whom we find always ready to help with our problems, whatever they may be. Since his arrival at Ward-Belmont just two short years ago, he has endeared him- self to all by his friendly manner, patience, and helpfulness. As well as helping with academic problems, he is sponsor of the Phi Theta Kappa chapter. We are very proud and happy to have such a capable person as Mr. Van Antwerp for our dean. ' OF THE MY SCHOOL MRS. SL SAN S. SOUBY In completing her fourth year as head of the Preparatory School, Mrs. Souby has again proved her capability and intense interest in the affairs of the Ward-Belmont campus. From the first senior-junior competition until the final notes of the organ at prep graduation, students linew they could turn to Mrs. Souby for needed advice and inspiration. Loved and respected, she will remain in the hearts of her students as one of the most outstand- ing figures at Ward-Belmont. ¥ n THE .ORY D1:AN ALAN IRWIN Across the street from Fidelity Hall, at any time of the day, you may observe the music students jjoin. to and from the con- servatory with smiles on their faces. For the students are happy, and this happiness is due in a large measure to the kindness and understanding of Dean Irwin. Majoring in music requires much hard work, but it is well rewarded by Dean Irwin ' s enthusiastic approval of the student ' s accomplishments. Dean Irwin is always sympathetic and helpful, and the students think of him not only as a teacher but alsD as a friend. In his many years as Dean of Ward-Belmont ' s Conservatory he has helped make it the fine in- stitution that it is -Lodav. BUSINESS MANAGER MR. VERNON M. NELSON We are often prone to think of Mr. Xclson wholly as our materialistic ad ministrator of business, our capable automan who keeps W-B squarely on its feet. And truly that is his main capacity for his word is law whether it ' s do the teachers have a raise or do we get a new egg beater down at the club. But forgetting the slightly ridiculous, we want to say that Mr. Nelson is one of the best managers a school could ask for. And not only in this vein is he outstanding: he possesses a certain charming quality that few can boast. His power, his effervescence, his fascinating little smile — Mr. Nelson, we are proud to claim you as our own. REGIS TB k MISS MABEL FLETCHER With a background of eighteen years at Ward-Belmont, Miss Fletcher graciously officiates this year for the first time as reg- isti ' ar, introducing to the visitors young and eld our Ward-Bel- mont of charm and tradition. Believing in its importance to women of tomorrow. Miss Fletcher centers her life on the ad- vancement of the schooFs ideals. Her radiant enthusiasm and love for Ward-Belmont enhances the magnetic personalities of school and lady. Friends and visitors are most fortunate in having Miss Fletcher introduce them to her beloved Ward-Belmont. FACULTY ELLEX JANE ANDERSON Dancing y nl Missouri, B.A.; San Fl-an.is. School.

Phi Thcta Kappa is composed of girls in the upper ten percent of the col- lege classes who are chosen for their qualities of fel- lowship and character as well as for outstanding scholarship. Phi Theta Kappa is remembered for the thrills, cheers, and laughter that inevitably mark the impressive, exciting tapping service at which the new members ' are formally initiated. Nervous fingers held lighted tapers and trembling lips repeated the solemn pledges as the excited new members participated in this memorable occasion.

OFFICERS MARY ALKIE BRAXHAM President LOUISA WILSON Vice-President GERTRUDE TAYLOR Secretary EVELYiN HARTFORD Treasurer MISS CUBINE Sponsor Each student at W.-B. can be justly proud of the fine accompHshments of the Vard -Belmont division of the national Y.W.C.A. Beginning this year with its membership drive in September, this ' charitable or- ganization has carried success into each venture which it sponsored. Many hearts were gladdened by the Sunday after- noon visits which were made to the Old Ladies ' Home, the Orphanage, and the Crippled Children ' s Home; and few of us at V-B will forget the inspiring Vesper Services which the Y prepared. Besides sponsoring the annual King and Queen of Hearts banquet, this organization met its cjuota of a thousand dollars in the World Student Service Fund Drive by contributions, programs given by VV-B ' s own Minnie Pearl and by the faculty, and through the rummage sale in which each social club headed a department. A vote of thanks ' is owed to Butch Branham for the executive ability which gave us the opportunity to extend a helping hand to those in need, and for the religious services which meant so much to us all. The First Candle Light Service GRACE KODGERS President, of the Preparatory Y.W.C.A. PREPARATORY Y.W.C.A. OFFICERS GRACE RODGERS President MARTHA BUTLER Vice-President NANCY HENDRICKS Secretary CAROL BUTTERS Treasurer The importance and influence of the Prep Y in high school life is far felt. As far as the preparatory students are concerned, devoted to the promotion and carrying out of better Christian lives, it is perhaps the greatest force on the campus. Under the capable guid- ance of Grace Rodgers, the V has accomplished much this year. A great deal has been done for European relief as well as the important programs that have been carried out in town and on the campus. The girls received particular pleasure from their frequent visits to the Orphans ' and Old Ladies ' Homes. Who can ever forget the thrill of singing Christmas carols at vespers and the fun at the Y parties? The Prep ' Y has indeed brought about a close bond of fellowship among the high school girls. THE ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION OFFICERS BETTY LUKE President MARGIE BARRY Vice-President LAETITIA WENNING Day Student Vice-President ALICE CASEY Secretary BECKY BROWN Treasurer BETTY LEE SIMMS Sergeant-at-arms MISS MORRISON Sponsor All the students of Ward-Belmont were members of the Athletic Association; however, the active mem- bers were those who made one varsity or three club letters. The cabinet was composed of seven officers and nine sports managers who each managed one campus sport. At the end of each sports season an exciting chapel program was held in which the cabi- net presented the hard-earned cups to the winning clubs. From the very beginning of the school year the Athletic Association stressed the vital importance of good sportsmanship in all activities. As is customary, the A. A. sponsored the inter-hall party, which was an unusual success. At this party all the students were brought together in order to stimulate interest in up- holding and advancing the A.A. ' s standard.s. The A. A, finished this year with a grand banquet held in the late spring at which new officers were elected for the coming year. standing: Betty Lee Sii THE BETACIUB OFFICERS SUSAN MILLER President HARRIET WILLIAMS Vice-President PRISCILLA MURRAY Secretary MARY KIMBALL Treasurer MRS.

Because of its high ideals of scholarship, character, and achievement, membership in the Beta Club is greatly prized. The plans of the club are worked out in monthly meetings, which promote its ideals. In the spring the Beta Club gave a party for the purpose of raising funds for the Red Cross. OFFICERS CAROLYN MANSFIELD President JOAN HAYS Vice-President SUSAN MILLER Secretary-Treasurer MISS KUYKENDALL Sponsor High school girls showing unusual ability in creative writing may be elected to the PenstaflF Club. It is an organization de- voted to the promotion of interest and ac- tivity in creative writing. Under the capable sponsorship of Miss Kuykendall, meetings were held throughout the year in which each member ' s work was constructively dis- cussed and criticized. An annual banquet, as well as ' refreshments at every meeting, showed that a writer ' s life is not all work and no play. First Row: Dudk-y Brown. Priscilla Murray. Advisor- Berger. Nancy Waddell.

At Christmas time, the club celebrated with a series of parties in which the members sang songs and played games in a traditional Spanish manner. Many interesting stories were related as to the origin of Yuletide symbols and customs. In Januars ' and March, two sets of colored slides on Mexico and Guatemala were shown by interesting speakers who once lived in those countries. Pan- . merican Day was brought to the campus and celebrated by a typical Spanish supper in the tea room. The meaning of Pan-.American Day was stressed by speakers, decorations, and favors. With -April ' s meeting, the Spanish club adjourned until the following year. Throughout the entire year, the practical use of Spanish was stressed by participating in games and songs. In this way, Spanish became an enjoy- able, yet useful subject. OFFICERS PAT MAI HIAS President NEILVX GRIGGS Vice-President FRANC:ES PURVIS Secretary-Treasurer DR. GIVEXS Sponsor Singing, dancing, laughing, the students of the German language have enjoyed a profitable year. Many of the Monday night meetings were filled with the study of German folk songs and dances. Others were spent listening to the fascinating stories of the German people. Climaxing the Christmas season was the German dinner, complete with gifts from Kris Kringle, given by the presi- dent. Working together, the students soon found themselves better understanding and respecting both the language and the people die das Deutsch sprachen. GERMAN CLUB TEL DO N L E P A R L E OFFICERS LAETITIA WENNING President LUCY BUFORD Vice-President HARRIET WILLIAMS Secretary LYNNE YOUMANS Treasurer MISS PHILLIPS Sponsor In its second year on campus, the Preparatory School French Club took an ever more active part in piomoting a closer understanding of both the French people and language. French relief drives and international correspondence, as well as the interesting French programs conducted at each meeting, accompished this aim. At Christmas time a banquet and entertainment, which consisted of exchanging presents, carol sing- ing, and fortune telling in French, introduced all members to the delightful French spirit of gaiety. Then, more than ever, those studying French realized the importance of a closer union between the American and French nations. OFFICERS KATHERINE McLE.NDOX President SUE BEEBE Vice-President BECKY BROWN Secretary-Treasurer DR. GIVENS Sponsor Whether caroling in French or listening to one of the many intriguing speakers, every member of the French Club showed enthusiasm and interest. It was their qualities that united the entire club in work and play making many successful project. such as those conducted for French aid. Through cooperative effort an increased knowl- edge of the French showing their customs, and their culture was presented to all. From the glib tongue of Jcanette Williams to the educational movies so delightfully presented by a visiting speaker, the French Club presented an enjoyable combination of pleasure, education, and fellowship. m.-ion.

At the meet- ings this year, many interesting and informative lectures were enjoyed by the members. Speakers on such varied subjects as personality and glassware addressed the ,a:ro up. The projects of the club included the picnic in the spring and the Easter egg hunt for the orphans. Beginning with the initiation held in the fall through the style show in the spring, the Home Economics C:lub members not only gained knowledge which would ;iid them in future years, but enjoyed the program pro- vided by the club.

Dianne Jackson PEGGY I.AIR mditor of the Hyphen Come Tuesday night, there is no place on campus as gay and bright as the publications office where Editor Peggy Lair and her staff hold their Hyphen meetings to compile the weekly newspaper for an eagerly awaiting student body. Amidst the clatter of the typewriters and the ring of phones, somehow the staff members manage to crowd in bits of concentration and laughter. The originality and ability that is required of the editor and her associate editor has most assuredly been obviously present in Peg and Margie Welch. No one except a staff member can imagine the patience, capability, and effort that goes into the presentation of a Ward-Belmont week set be- fore you on paper. The fun that is continually mixed with the labor, howe ' er, can only mean one thing ... a successful c ollege newspaper . . . that is our Hyphen.

Typist Peggy Muessel It was Monday night: the liglits in the pub office were burn- ing brightly amid the clatter of coke bottles and overflowing ashtrays; to the rhythm of a choppy typewriter, the literary geniuses of our campus gathered around their editor to write and pour their hearts into the next, always the BEST issue of the CHIMES. There were the girls who edited, corrected, accepted, rejected, read and re-read the contributions until they formed them into three small volumes that represented the best of Ward-Belmont ' s literary efforts. It was they who echoed the mood and opinion of the campus: they who, in their small way, tinged with the imagination and enthusiasm of youth, reflected the thought and life of our time.

Hidden behind each photograph and bit of copy there is an unmeasurable world of thought and work, which no casual observer can comprehend. We have loved every minute, every laugh, and, yes, every tear, which have resulted in this book, and we sincerely hope that we have in some small way treasured up for you the memories of W-B which will come ringing back to you as the pages are turned.

SENIORS, the old girls, the ones who should know, what to do — and rather what not — to do. The girls who already had one superbly happy year, and ha e returned hoping in some way to better them- selves and perhaps their surroundings. The girls who ha ' e come back planning to guide their little sisters on the pathway to perfection. SENIORS, who played their herats out in hockey, in basketball, in tennis. Vho -orkcd untiringly on the challenge. Who would gi ' e their right arms to make it SENIORS, first and always. SENIORS, who affected the rulings--to ride in cars! Who danced the minuet and maiched on May Day, who went to Cuba, Europe, and the Derby. SENIORS, who celebrated the centennial of the gold rush. The forty-niners who, unlike their ancestors, in friendships, work, and honor, sought pure gold. The forty-niners ha e looked to far horizons, to the west, where the land is bright. SENIORS, who ha e made their imprints well but will return in later years to stroll their paths in memory — SENIORS, who know and sincerely bclie e that these are the best years of their li ' es.

FOR THE SENIOR MIDS— The frosh who with- stood the hectic week of orientation, of club rushing, and the first taste of real college life; at their party in the gym caught for the first time the feeling of friendshi p and loyalty which carried them through the year. FOR THE SENIOR MIDS— The hocky, baseball and basketball enthusiasts who, although they rose not to victory, put up a distinctly laudable fight each Senior- Senior Mid Day. FOR THE SENIOR MIDS— The debutantes who in a wheel of social activities gave both the traditional tea and banquet for the seniors and a dance that would have delighted even the most punctilous of the old Southern Belles. FOR THE SENIOR MIDS— The Homesteaders who met the challenge of the seniors and who assured them in their step — singing that they would carry high the torch of tradition and pass it on to endless Mid classes to come.

MARGARET HARBER Sponsor SENIOR PREPS . . . Wc of the 1949 Senior Preparatory Class, feel that this has been an unusually successful year. From September to May our spirits and ideals ha e nc er wavered. When our outstanding president, Helen Long, announced our aim in Senior Recognition Chapel; and we in turn were acknowledged formally wc took our real place as the Senior Picps of 49. At the fall senior picnic all of us felt that close spirit of cooperation and fellowship which bound us throughout the year. The Seniors v ere ery proud when we were ictorious both in basketball and bowling on the February Junior-Senior Day — one more proof of what we as a class could accomplish. The long awaited Senior Prom was even more wonderful than ex- pected. The blue and sih ' er decorations reminded us once more that wc were The Seniors. On May Day vith the realization of soon-to-be graduation and separation, there was an evasive sadness, a nostalgia for the happy, meaningful days of the past months, but wc were soon lost in the joy and loveliness of the day. And how can we ever forget graduation! That day of days when the endeavor of twelve years is at last fulfilled. Red roses, flowing white dresses, radiant faces and the crown of all — the diploma ! In this moment we pause briefly, stepping from the world of Childhood into the world of A ' laturity. Ward-Belmont, you have meant much to us, done much for us, We shall not soon forget, and will always lo e, your intangible but e er uuidino hand.

These years of growing up, mentally, physically, and spiritually, take on new mean- ing under the guiding hand of Ward-Belmont, and it is through the feehngs and efforts of these youthful minds and hearts that our school has become as great as it is. These girls — freshmen, sophomores, and juniors — gradu- ally and steadily climb upward on the ladder of learning to the anticipated thrill of senior life and graduation. But it must never be forgotten that it takes the aims and accomplishments of three years to attain the goal and perhaps, after all, it is these first three that count the most in the Ijuilding of youth to maturity.

The club colors are green and white, while the gardenia is the club flower. To Music, by Franz Schubert, is the club song. The annual initiation is one of the most im- pressive chapel programs of the year. The VVard-Bclmont Octet, composed of eight of the best voice students in the school, has completed another successful year under the direction of Mrs. Joseph Van Sickle. The octet was very active this year. They started off the season by giving a Thanksgiving program for the Belmont Methodist Men ' s Club. At Christmas time, they sang with the choir and high school glee club in the W-B Christmas music pro- gram; they also furnished background music for the Christmas play. During the year, the octet sang for various church and civic groups, and in the spring, they gave a chapel program with the choir. Siatcd: Mrs. Van Sickle.

Under the direction of Miss Davis ' , the group met three times each week and has presented numerous programs. The septet sang at the Maxwell House, the Crippled Children ' s Home, and in chapel programs. These vocalists were a source of entertainment and joy for all who heard them. OFFICERS SHIRLEY DOUGL.

The en- semble features the string instruments — violin, cello, piano, and bass. A program was presented by the ensemble in the spring. The group played the traditional minuet, while costumed colonial couples descended Acklen ' s hanging staircase. Also in April a chapel pro- gram was given which featured Bach ' s Choral and Fugue. The many Wednesday afternoon practices were well rewarded in these programs. Buchanan. Jean Vrker. Susan Willi im, Grace Thompson, Shirley Dous Wilkerson Ella Ormond, Mr. Kei Meggs.

DALTON Director One of the most important parts of the Conservatory and, indeed, of Ward-Behnont, is the choir. Composed of members of both college classes, the choir is an integral part of the Wednesday devotional programs. Be- sides giving us spiritual inspiration at these weekly chapels, the choir presented several special programs throughout the year. At Christmas time the choir, together with the high school glee club, presented a chapel program of inspirational Christmas music. The same program was later broadcast over one of the Nashville radio stations. In the spring another program, consisting mainly of spiritu- als and other religious numbers, was enjoyed by the W-B students and Nashville citizens alike. The girls in their pastel spring formals added much to the charm and loveliness of this program. The High School Glee Club completed another successful year, under the direc- tion of Mrs. Van Sickle. The Glee Club met twice a week in preparation for their performances, which included prominent parts in the Thanksgiving and Christmas programs ' , the Spring recital, and pre- paratory graduation. This high school organization contributed much to musical enjoyment at Ward-Belmont. Laiol Butttib bu uiui Iluw Oluria Kiiiit.L u iuU Betty Gant Ann VIcQuidd Thud Row: Carol Giant.

Though many games were played on muddy fields, ex ' eryone showed much enthuasiasm and good sportmanship. Credit is especially due to the hockey man- agers, who worked so hard for their teams, as well as to the P. E. teachers, who did a fine job of teaching the novices the sport. The last few days of the season were packed with thrills for all. Since Agora had won two games out of two played, and XL, the remain- ing contender lost to Osiron, Agora was auto- matically the winner of the well earned cup. Here ' s hoping for more seasons of hockey as excitins; as that of 1948. l-lil !■ I IIU( Kl Y KM I mil ItilldlF, IWt ti Oaiit llarsiril III --I— — ,„-,«,„ ' ■ t 1 . . v-,:., i4 ;  -- v A Luke makes a goal PRKP BOARDING HOCKEY VARSITY Fir-t Hc.H : Lou Eilna Diver.

Form for the Big Show Making heap big plans SOFTBALL With the crack of a bat and then a ball zinging through the spring air, Softball became W-B s great sport of the season. Senior- Senior Mid day in April was the first game of the season — and what a game ! It was dif- ficult to tell which team was truly the best. Next on the schedule came the spring games between the clubs. These games furnished thrill after thrill as each club rooted for its own team. For another Softball season to be an im- provement over this one is next to impossible. This season can only be described as superb. Stance, grip, and a clear follow-through — and a golfer ' s ball will fly down the fairway. In the early fall and sp ring, W-B golf en- thusiasts dusted off their clubs and became en- thralled in polishing their form on the rolling green. The beginning classes used cotten balls on the miniature course and, after graduating Practice makes perfect to the advanced classes, tried their skill at a Nash ' ille country club golf course. With the mastering of this graceful sport the V-B stu- dents gained co-ordination and skill in a sport which they can enjoy participating in for the rest of their lives.

Led by Ruby Jo Dabney, their charming president, and their energetic sponsor, Mrs. Harber, the club has gained high recognition this year. As it vas with the Greeks, the . gora was a place of meeting, discussion, and companionship: so it was w ith the Agoras as they happily mingled in club house eight. MRS. M. RG- RET H.

When a group of alumnae returned dur- ing the Thanksgiving holidays, the A. K. ' s ' put out the welcome mat and entertained with an informal Friday night party. The A. K. ' s were proud of their five members who belong to Phi Theta Kappa. Jane Gray in Hood and Gown, Isabel Snelling as chairman of the All Club Dance, Joan Hayes as vice-president of the preparatory council, Ann Hoerhammer as underclass representative; all outstandingly represented A. K. on the campus ' . On the hockey field Carolyn Bearden, Betty Barrier, and Dorothy Ann Carroll made a name for themselves, and for the A.

Singing this refrain, the A. P. pledges started off a year full of fond memories. The first dance of the yea.r, the Harvest Ball, was the big event of October. Just before Christmas, Anti-Pan held a tea for the faculty and. with Del Vers, their sister club, a Christ- mas ' party for the orphans, which boasted even a Santa Glaus. Other events of the year were the party for E)el Vers and the weekends at Horn Springs and Dunbar Cave. Anti-Pan was proud to have among its members many leaders. Representing the club in Student Gov- ernment were Mary Thompson, president of C.G.O., and Nancy Her, chapel proctor. Mary Alice Bran- ham held the high office of president of the YWCA. Dot Borden received the honor of being elected presi- dent of Turf and Tanbark, and Barbara Sue McDuffee was ' one of the Senior cheerleaders. Mids holding important offices were Rutledge Ingram, secretary of the Mid class; Peggy Scott, Mid cheerleader; and Jackie Bumpous, associate editor of the MILE- STONES. The pandas fought hard in their hockey gaines, win- ning two and tying one, and they were enthusiastic participants in all other sports. Under the leadership of ' ' Swede Clark, and Jean Benton, their presidents, and their capable sponsor. Miss Benton.

So when those chosen few on the W.-B. campus decided upon a name they chose well. The D.V. ' s of 1948 and 1949 are still seeking more information and are gaining it, along with ability ' s powers and the pleasures of life. The D.V. ' s have carried the yellow and white into all phases ' of campus life. There were a large number of club members who held important offices or who were outstanding in one group or another on campus: the Naiades members were Sue Shireman, Shirley Douglas, Carol Loeb, Ann Moyers, Charlotte Unger, Mary Jane Bull, and Ann McHenry, president of that organization; Turf and Tanbark members, Bonnie Sharp and Nancy Davies: Phi Theta Kappa members, Jean Bloom, Pat Mathias, and .Anne Boyd; and the D.V. ' s are unusually proud of their two Hood and Gown members, Pat Mathias, who is, also president of the German club and vice-president of the Chem- istry Club, and Anne Boyd. Athletically speaking, the D.V. ' s also won the riding cup along with the s vim- ming cup. Del Vers was represented on the MILE- STONES staff by Jean Bloom, editor, and Lee Henry, photography editor. If the sands of time could drift backwards, how proud those Anglo-Saxons would be of the significance •hich Del Vers holds upon this modern day campus. MISS PEX 1 ' .MOrXTFORT, Sponsi ANNK nOYI).

' s, with their motto of ability is benevolent, have proved their true worth in all activities on W-B ' s ' campus. Versatile in academic, in club, and in in- dividual activities, these girls proudly claim club num- ber ten as theirs. One of the first gatherings of these girls was their Nosegay Dance in the fall. This dance was the F.F. ' s first and others followed as the seasons rolled around. Club suppers and other informal gatherings spent to- gether brought the girls into a united group. The girls, who proudly wore the red and white, showed their versatility when the sports season rolled around. On the hockey field, Martine Pollak, and Susie Havron led their team. While in basketball. Rusty Russell and Elizabeth Mitchell kept the sextet in action. In baseball, swimming, and bowling, Ann Lasky, Bonnie Dean, and Caroline Milton scored many points for old F.F. On the scholastic side of life, the F.F. ' s boasted Anna Jean Walters; in the Music Club, Jane Witherspoon in Phi Thela Kappa, and Bonnie Dean as president of the High School Boarding Council.

Trudy Taylor served not only as secretary of the Y.W.C.A. but also as president of Hail Hall, and Joanne Ingram and Doris Miller as presidents of the Art and Spanish Clubs respectively. P. T. boasted of its Phi Theta Kappa members Peggy Muessel, Eloise McBride, and Sue Madison; and were equally proud of Margie Barry, vice-president of the Athletic Association and Patsy Cox, riding manager of that organization. The Preps also did their part, Helen Long acted as president of the Senior Prep class while Mary Jo Cundiff collected the dues from those same Senior Preps as their boarding treasurer. Penta Tau ' s oldest member, Neilyn Griggs, held the positions of secretary of the C.G.O. and president of the Chemistry Club, and with members Cile Robertson and Charlotte Schulze, was present on the rosters of the campus publications, . thletically speaking, P.T. again held her own by placing high in all events. Charlotte .Schulz and Murriel Williams were highly respected on the hockey field. Basketball stars were Margie Barry, Polly Miles, and Marilyn Amato.

The club played Santa Claus to the little boy ' s department of the Industrial Home at a Christmas party given for them. The weekend at Dunbar Cave, complete with .sleet and snow, will never be forgotten by the T. C. ' s, nor the exciting Christ- mas formal. In February T.

The Tri K ' s, with their black and white sweaters and caps, could always be found deep in the middle of some project or busily engaged in activities on the campus. Under the guidance of lovable Georgia Gresham and their competent sponsor Miss Morrison, they had a splendid year and were full of pep and energy for their club. Many outstanding personalities on the campus were members of Tri K. Among them were Charlene Tur- ner, president of Phi Theta Kappa; Beverly Cunning- ham, secretary of Phi Theta Kappa; and Joan Jes- ter, president of the Round Table. On the athletic field one could always find LilHan Corneliu.s, Kitty Garrott, Cherrie Kelly, Georgia Gresh- am, and Betty Lee Simms in the midst of the scrim- mages. One bright Sunday the club had a breakfast for the faculty and that afternoon went to the old ladies home lor a Christmas party. Their days were not usually so full but they were often found at the club listening to Sue Swinford ' s singing and Charlene Turner or Phoebe Monteith at the piano. Their memories will long hold dear the exciting club weekends to Dunbar Cave and Horn Springs; the for- mal and informal dances held at Christmas and in the spring. The zebras of the year ' 49 have bounded through a year of outstanding achievement and gaiety which will long be remembered. Gt:01tl:l- GRK.SH. :m, rre i lent.

Encouraged in all their activities by their sponsor, Miss Keith Cutchins, and president, Jean Jewett, the XL ' s of 1948 and 1949 were most active in all campus affairs. In regard to the XL sports parade, Peggy McTyre, Joyce Baker, Ann Roland, and Martha Houston Reid built up great competition in hockey, basketball, and .Softball. When officers were elected for the campus offices, XL claimed many. Frances Purvis was the president of the Senior Class: Peg Moyers, vice-president of the C. G. O.; Jody White, president of the Home Eco- nomics Club; Peggy Rich, treasurer of the Mid Class and chapel proctor for the second quarter; Peg Lair, editor of the Hyphen, and Margie Welch, associate; and Becky Brown, treasurer of the Senior Class, along with other offices in W-B. Among the memorable parties, there was the swea- ter hop, the hat party for the faculty, and formal club dances. Informal gatherings were made unforgetable by the magnetic Winn twins, Patti and Jodie, whose collaborator was Pat Evans. Throughout the year, the XL ' s held high their motto of upward, on sard: and were held in great esteem by their sister club and many friends. Bonnets on Bonnies CAMPUS LIFE u crtinfi ORIENTATION While time is making this only a memory, we reflect on earlier moments of our school career and how we were first introduced to Ward-Belmont life. From the very instant of the arrival of new students, the Orienta- tion Committee, with its earnest followers, welcomed, comforted, and adjusted the newcomers in such a manner that, in a matter of hours, everyone was a part of the rush-life. The old girls made the dorms and the campus seem familiar territory. From earlier months, the Orientation Committee had their program planned to perfection and, thus, their week ran smoothly. Since last May, Mary Thomp- son and Peggy Moyers, aided by Bonnie Dean, Nancy Oakley, and Martha Evers ' had worked toward this year ' s orientation. A week before school started, sixty- four of the old girls returned to the campus to prepare it for orientation. Neilyn Griggs, Jean Bloom, Frances Purvis, and Charlene Turner were in charge of the dis- cussion groups. The newcomers were introduced to the traditions, customs, and rules by the discussion groups and campus tours. For their unselfishly given time and concentrated Registration Problems energy, the orientation members deserve the new girls ' thanks for their successful work.

' Pandas, urchins, zebras, rabbits, southern belles, clowns, cave women, slaves, babies, and angels broke upon the peace of our campus on the morning of September the twenty-fourth. Every autumn this dis- turbance occurs when the old club members initiate their new pledges. The pledges piled out of bed at 6:30 and stumbled down to wake their big sisters. They made beds, ran errands, wrote letters, and performed numerous other tasks. Sitting on the floor to eat breakfast, .smearing lipstick on faces, and kneeling to big sisters were all part of the fun. A wonderful spirit vas shown by the new girls, and they provided the faculty as well as the student body with hilarious entertainment. Tasks were cheer- fully performed because at last the girls felt they really belonged. The bowing and scraping of the morning were in striking contrast to the beautiful candlelight cei ' emony held that evening in which each new girl pledged her whole-hearted support and loving tribute to her club. Like Mother, Like Daughter Acklen Anarels I m Proud to be an gora First Kow Tea time C ' olTee for 1 Proudly presentiDg: : IN Senior week, extending from September 26 to October 1, began on Sunday when the Seniors entertained at a coffee for the Mids, the faculty, and the staff. Monday SENIOR WEEK followed with Senior Recognition next on the agenda. All Seniors attired in white and with yellow roses adorn- ing their left shoulders marched into chapel where, after speeches by the various ' class officers, Dr. Provine rec- ognized the class of ' 49. Wednesday brought the Senior devotional service in which Butch Branham delivered one of the most splendid of all chapel speeches. The ministrel show, and the evening picnic in club village on Friday were a fitting climax to the days that brought the realization of the full meaning of the word Senior. In the colorful days of early November, the 1949 Senior Preps took their places as the latest addition to the distinguished ranks of W-B Seniors. Beginning with the impressive, formal recognition in chapel, and culminating in the Thursday night picnic the week was one full of fun and spirit. Through the presentation of the class aims by the officers and the beautiful devo- tional service presided over by Betty Gant. the class knew at last the solemn but exultant feeling that only a senior can have. SENIOR PREP WEEK FUN AND FANCY FREE Pausing for a few moments in the academic routine, W-6 girls ha% ' c stored up man ' memories of the more casual side of school life. These carefree diversions included the hilarious Minnie Pearl program, the impressive all-club dance, the many picnics which featured southern fried chicken, and the excit- ing trips taken outside of Nashville. Remember the Christmas parties, manv of which boasted a Santa Claus, and the Inter- Hall party when the dorms competed in volley ball, ping pong, and basketball? The Wednesday night club meetings and parties for our sister clubs afTorded never-to-be-forgotten joys, as well as the chapel programs — with the Forty Niners ' search for treasure, the Homesteaders ' answer to the challenge, the teachers ' Dem Hayloft Jambor Belles take-off, the M nsti el show, ar id the da nee an d music recitals.

This show of royalty was a fitting climax to the festive banc|uct held in the decorated dining room. , WASHINGTON ' S BIRTHDAY CLAIRE KELTON AND MARY THOMPSON, Step, slide . . . Once again Acklen Hall was graced with colpnial dames and gentlemen. For a time the spirits who may still roam those halls must surely have been pleased with their succes- sors in hoops, in wigs, in lace and in satin breeches. Following their first entrance on the winding staircase and the atmospheric holiday dinner, Mary Thompson as George and Claire Kelton as Martha presided over a program which included the costumed court dance, the annual ballet, and the charming minute danced by the seniors. And so another of our great traditions was carried out; and again we realized that tradition ' ' is an ideal that we shall cherish in our hearts long after contemporary ideas are dead.

After long planning and much work, April 8th the big day arrived. The real events began with the class parades. The Juniors presented their theme. Time Marches On, and were greeted with gales of laughter; according to the bystanders, the Seniors ' Hit Parader was well worth the hours spent in preparatio n. It is indeed hard to compare such realistic figures as Queen Elizabeth, escorted by Sir Walter Raleigh and two historic mud puddles; Aristotle; and modern man: with the representa- tions of Faraway Places. Body and Soul. and Goodnight, Sweetheart. Although the Juniors fought valiantly and were victorious in baseball, the Seniors won tennis and archery. So, once again, the Seniors came out on top, adding another triumph to their year ' s success. Eating hamburgers in the Tea Hole that night, both classes climaxed the day ' s fun. All feeling of competition was lost. After dinner everyone sang class songs and closed with the VV-B song. And so the great day of fun and frolic ended; but as a parting gift it left us all with gay and proud rememberances which will prove a stan- dard for future Junior-Senior Prep days. Right, lop lo bouom: Back Seat Driver, But Look at Vou Now, What a big Mud Puddle ' ' J SENIOR-SENIOR MIDDLE DAY At seven o ' clock sharp the long-awaited day of April second began as a mass of human forms dashed out onto the campus. Waving their crepe paper decora- tions, the Seniors raced the Mids for the campus objects. The parade began at 8:45 with the Mids revealing P.A.W. as Prominent American Women. Ne.xt the Seniors arrived as Forty-niners, giving the audience a view of their life before and after finding the treasure. Leaving the circle, the Seniors and the Mids as- sembled upon the athletic field, where the Seniors took top honors in archery, tennis, and softball; while the Mids won the track events. Finishing the com]3ctitive sports, the Seniors marched to the upix-r field singing their class song. As the tower bells chimed out over the silent group — Hail to the Seniors and lastly, The Bells of Ward-Belmont — thoughts of the unforgettable joys of the year and of the brief period which remained before all would bid farewell lingered in the heart of each girl. Finally, Dr. Provine gave the hard-earned cup to the victori- ous ' 49ers. who had won with a total of 49 points. As the Mids acknowledged defeat to the Seniors, the two classes mingled together for fried chicken and the trimmings — truly this was the end of a perfect day.

Your heart may ache a little as you recall the songs of farewell the Seniors sang to the Mids and the melancholy words the Mids sang in reply to their big sisters. The Seniors put in song their love of W.-B.; the happy hours spent with friends, many of whom are ne ' er seen again; and of the tradition and lo e which they were gi ing to the Mids to cherish as they in turn take the old girls place as Seniors. Perhaps a tear may fall when you remember joining hands with others to sing for the last time, to the accompaniment of the chimes in the tower, The Bells of Ward-Belmont, Oh hear they are calling the old girls, the new girls, to come back again.

GRADUATION Another Milestone With heads high and shoulders straight the long lines of dark-gowned figures symbolized to all the final realization of youthful hopes and dreams. The chimes tolled and thoughtful, girlish -oices chanted their song, The Bells. Cold hands clutched the treasured diplomas. Tear-filled eyes scan- ned the scene before them wishing to indelibly imprint friendly faces and hallowed incidents upon their minds. Memories of the past and desires for the future were both centered in that moment, a moment immortal to each graduate. Their solemn faces bore e ' idence of the sadness, joy and feeling of achievement that they possessed, and their foot steps spoke of the determination and lofty ideals that they held for the future. The last gowned figure swept past and graduation was o -er. Days at Ward-Bel- mont were now to these girls only a milestone in their journey of life.
