Latest Portrait of Our Beloved President

DR. J. L. JARMAN

Painted by Julia Mahood

j;

ulia Mahood, a graduate of our Col- lege, comes from a family of artists. Her mother, grandmother, a brother, and two sisters have been recognized for their talent in this field. She has done some of the best portraits in our College. Among them are Dr. Thomas D. Eason, Miss Estelle Smithey, and Miss Martha Coulling. Her latest addition is possibly her masterpiece, namely, the above one of Dr. J. L. Jarman. She presented it at commencement, June 5, 1944, and it now hangs over the mantel in the Reception Hall. The Lynchburg Chap- ter, represented by their president, Helen Costan, presented the beautiful frame at the same time. The following is Julia's presentation speech:

"Dr. Jarman, when I was in College here, I wished that my Mother could paint your portrait, and later on I wanted to paint it myself, not a portrait of the serious college president but the Dr. Jarman that I knew, with the humor and understanding that endears you to us all. A year ago I heard you wish that one of your portraits had a twinkle in the eye, and so I asked you to pose for me. And now, as a token of my deep regard for you and in appreciation of all my Alma Mater has meant to me, I wish to present this portrait, which I painted."

Alumnae President's Letter

After a year has passed, it is an appropriate time to take stock in our efforts, and to look forward with a great desire for the success of our future.

First, I want to praise all of you who have learned that being actively engaged in work has proven the greatest blessing during the past year. You have attended to your duties assiduously, tried to be useful, instead of brooding too much over war-time troubles. You are a better citizen than you have ever been before.

At the request of our beloved Dr. Jarman, we have carried on the work of the Alum- nae Association in the usual manner, holding semi-annual meetings of the Executive Board in May and October and celebrating the Sixtieth Birthday of our College on Founders Day in March. The attendance and enthusiasm at these meetings encouraged your officers. Everyone seemed refreshed spiritually, enjoying the contact with the stu- dents, greeting old friends, admiring the beautiful surroundings. The hospitality shown visiting Alumnae at Farmville by members of the Faculty, Home Department and Stu- dent body, the interest and support of the Executive Board of which Dr. Jarman is such an active, interested member, the efficiency of our capable secretary, Mrs. Coyner, in the performance of her various duties, and the willingness of the Alumnae, at large, to co-operate have made the past year a very pleasant, happy one for your President.

For the coming year, we want the continued support, that only you can give. We need you. The plan now, which has been so successful in other places is to ask Alum- nae to make contributions instead of just paying dues. Because of the fact that only one-half of the usual sum was contributed last year, we were inclined to believe that you considered Founders Day the end of the Fiscal Year, and since the Bulletin, which is al- ways a reminder, was late in being published, you did not consider that you had time to send your contribution. It is gladly received at the Alumnae Office any time during the year.

In your chapter work, do not forget that scholarship and special gifts are more im- portant than ever in the teacher training program of Farmville State Teachers College. As a helpful, immediate service, please send a revised list of local Alumnae, with changed names and addresses, together with your community telephone book, to the Alumnae Office. We want the Bulletin to reach every one of you.

In your community, I am sure that you are helping to promote better education in Virginia, as real loyal Alumnae should. In our present emergency many hundreds are serving their country by returning to the teaching profession as a patriotic duty. There is such a need for trained teachers that I am taking this opportunity to urge many more of you to serve in this particular field for which you are so admirably fitted.

With the best of wishes for success in your undertakings, and much appreciation of your inspiration and encouragement to me, I am

Sincerely yours,

Louise Ford Waller, Alumnae President

Founder's Day 1944

r I THOSE who were responsible for Founders Day on March 4, 1944, had many fears -*- about the success of the day, for in addition to war-time restrictions on travel and on food, Dr. Jarman went down with the flu, and the gray morning developed into a misty rain. By twelve o'clock, the hour for a Chapel program by students and alumnae, a change had come in the weather and in our spirits, for the halls were teeming with Alumnae who had come from far and near to celebrate the decennial anniversary of their graduation. The Rotunda and reception rooms were filled with animated scenes of reunion as the old girls arrived. When the hour struck for assembly, the crowd be- gan to move toward the auditorium. Those who had not met for ten, twenty, thirty, forty or fifty years suspended their informal activities temporarily to take part in the Student-Alumnae program scheduled for the hour.

The auditorium was full and never has there been more rapt attention paid by the student body than was in evidence throughout the exercises that day. The Alumnae president, Louise Ford Waller, presided in her usual gracious manner. Two highlights of the occasion were the presentation of the cup as an award for the largest percentage of class attendance, and the address made by Phyllis Pedigo, one of Farmville's out- standing graduates, who has been serving with the Red Cross in the South Pacific area in this war.

The Class of 1894 won the Jarman attendance award. Ten of the thirteen living members of their class answered to the roll call. Mrs. R. L. (Maude Pollard) Turman of Atlanta, Georgia, received the cup, and in a most delightful way, she challenged any class present to take it from the Class of 1894. This remarkable class has kept up corre- spondence through the years, and is now compiling a history of its corporate self, with individual sidelights. The Class of '94 put new life into the faculty, and it inspired the student body with admiration for ten people who have learned the art of joyous living, and who face the coming years with fortitude and with a smile. Students saw in this group ideals of the college embodied in flesh. While Phyllis Pedigo spoke of her work with the men who are dying that we may live, there was a reverent audience listening. According to magazine accounts, the boys "Over-There" had dubbed her "Merrylegs", but to us she was the spirit of Florence Nightingale. As she talked to us about her work, we realized that her sense of humor and her cheer had saved many a depressed soul from ennui and even from collapse and despair. The College is proud of a heroine like her, and we thank the Red Cross for sending Phyllis back to her Alma Mater on its sixtieth birthday, with a message so stirring.

Many messages of felicitation from Alumnae Chapters, and from individuals were re- ceived that day, and several gifts came as an expression of loyalty and devotion. The

December, 1944 3

Class of 1894 gave a beautiful landscape painting for the Alumnae office; the 1904 class gave a War Bond; Maria Bristow of the 1914 class made a gift to the Alumnae Fund in memory of her father, Mr. R. C. Bristow, Business Manager of the College for a num- ber of years; the Class of 1934, sponsored by Mary Berkeley Nelson presented to the Alumnae Fund a substantial money gift; Kate Perry of Culpeper gave two old prints for Longwood; the Student Body made a very worth-while contribution to the Founders Day Fund which was appreciated by Dr. Jarman and the Alumnae.

Dr. Simkins made a much appreciated contribution in the form of a booklet con- taining a brief historic sketch of each person whose portrait has been hung in the Col- lege. This book has been placed in the College Library.

Luncheon was served in the Tea Room. One hundred fifteen were present; the re- sponses from the Reunion Classes gave evidence of a Farmville spirit that lives on, no matter how distance and years separate Alumnae from each other and from their Alma Mater!

The following responded for their Classes:

1894— Maude Pollard Turman 1919— Catherine Riddle

1904 — Lucy Stearnes 1924 — Louise Bland Morgan

1914 — Alice Dadmun Murphy 1934 — Mary Berkeley Nelson

At the lovely formal six o'clock dinner in the College dining hall, the reunion classes were seated together again, and did the reminiscing continue? The College orchestra, under the direction of Miss Lisabeth Purdom, furnished enjoyable dinner music.

At 8 P. M. the College Dramatic Club, under the direction of Miss Leola Wheeler, presented "The Cradle Song" by Sierra. The cast was well chosen and the acting was excellent. The Alumnae were very grateful to our talented director, Miss Wheeler, for a most happy ending to a perfect day.

Class Reunions

IN spite of war, high water and blizzards, Class Reunions continue most successful on Founders Day. Old S.T.C. girls must get together at least once in ten years. May the war be over by next March 10, 1945, and the Classes of 1895, 1905, 1915, 1920, 1925 and 1935 come back in great numbers. You will have to get up early in the morn- ing to get ahead of the "Four" Classes who came back last year. Which of the "Five" Classes will win the Jarman Cup for the largest percentage of attendance in 1945?

Dear Girls of 1885,

I was not a member of this first grad- uating class. The three young ladies who had this honor have gone on, but I was a student here then and I have lived here ever since, hence I was asked to remind you that March 10, 1945, brings us to the sixtieth anniversary of this first graduating class of the "Normal School." We of that time were the pioneers in this new era of education for girls in old Virginia. A teacher-training institution was something new not only in Virginia but in the South. Dr. Ruffner, the first president, was a man of great vision, and he secured the minds of some very fine teachers to help him in this new venture. Some of you who have never been back should make a special effort to be here this time. It will be inter- esting to talk over old times, to recall the teaching methods used on us, and to see the great changes. We had no practice school then, but each one of us was re- quired to teach our own class in the pres- ence of the teacher. Embarrassing and hard work, wasn't it? Was there ever any- one who could draw such perfect maps on the board as Miss Bush? Do you remem- ber those mental arithmetic rules which Miss Lee taught us? They should be in print!

Come back and see how our small be- ginning has grown into a big Teachers College, drawing girls like a magnet from many states and foreign countries. Sincerely yours, Mary Cralle Richardson

Dear Girls of 1895,

Before me is a list of our graduating class at dear old Farmville. I note with regret that five of our number have passed away. The other twenty are scattered over Virginia and nearby states.

As I read your names I vividly recall every one of you — just how you wore your hair, how you talked and laughed. Many experiences in which numbers of you were involved came to my mind; especially did I remember that last proud night when we sat on the platform in our simple home- made white dresses and held out nervous hands for diplomas from dear Dr. Cun- ningham. Every one of us cried and he did too — remember?

Now we graduates of 1895 have a spe- cial invitation to be guests of our College on Founders Day, March 10, 1945 — fifty years later. Come on and let's go every one of us! Let's show those girls of 1945 that we aren't old ladies yet!

Think how much fun we will have re- calling our experiences with "Lady Por- tia", as we lovingly called Mrs. Morrison; with Miss Sarah who dosed us on the least provocation; with Misses Coulling, Mapp, Rice, Vicroy, Reynolds, Stone, Littleton and all the others who put up with such a happy-go-lucky bunch. Of course we studied hard and through all these years we have been grateful for what Farmville did for us.

Remember, girls, we should be the top- notchers this year! Meet me one-hundred

per cent strong at Farmville on Founders Day, 1945.

Your devoted friend,

Rose Lillian Brimmer (Better known as Kitty)

Dear February '95 Class,

Do not our minds and hearts register something of the surprise and unreality voiced in the first verse of our Class Song?

"And are you sure the news is true, It surely cannot be,

That we have graduated been" for fifty long golden years of checkered light and shade.

To those who are left of the sweet six- teen, silly sixteen, sensible sixteen, or what have you, I urge you to let us meet at Farmville on next Founders Day, thereby showing our appreciation of all the school has meant to us, and also our appreciation of the fine work and service of the College to our beloved Virginia thro' the years, under the marvelous leadership of Dr. Jarman.

Don't you think, too, if we go back together we may perchance catch anew the inspiration from the spirit of dear Mr. Cunningham, Mrs. Morrison and others whom we have loved long since and lost a while?

Do let us meet to celebrate a golden anniversary.

Affectionately, Mary B. (Ratcliffe) Chenery

Dear Classmates of June 1905,

On Saturday, March tenth, 1945, Founders Day will be observed at Farm- ville and Dr. Jarman is inviting the Class of 1905 to return as special guests of our Alma Mater. Forty years since we, a Class of forty-two members, left the dear old State Female Normal School! We, the first Class to receive our diplomas in the NEW auditorium!

Do you remember the morning of June seventh, our last time together as a Class, when we sang our "Farewell Song"?

"Now o'er our school days Gently falls the curtain low And we must leave you In the world to go; But with strongest efforts We will try our best to prove Worthy Daughters ever Of the School we love."

Shall we not make a great effort to come to this reunion and prove that we have been worthy daughters? Many changes and experiences have come into our lives over the years, so do come back to the old School to reminisce. For those who find it impossible to be there, how about sending us a sketch of your lives since 1905?

Our Alma Mater has made rapid prog- ress, so great changes will greet us there, but best of all will be the warm welcome from our honorary member, Miss Coul- ling, and our friend, Dr. Jarman. Sincerely, Edith Dickey Morris,

President

Class of 1915 Dear Girls :

I really can't believe that it has been thirty years since we all were graduated. Time flies and I do hope, for each of you, that you have enjoyed as much of those years as I have.

It really would be wonderful if a goodly number of our 1915 Class would make an extra effort to meet this coming March for Founder's Day.

I understand there have been many at- tractive additions to our school plant, so we must go back and take them' all in. Just to see Dr. Jarman and the Campus

Alumnae Magazine

would be enough compensation tor us to make some sacrifice to attend.

In the past we have all traveled many miles, seen and done many things, but I don't think anything clings in our mem- ories as those years at school. What better than for each of us to go back Founder's Day and have a real "get-together", and hear about some of the roads each of us has traveled and the sights we have seen along the way. This is such a wonderful opportunity to "kill two birds with one stone", see and talk with each other, and see our dear Alma Mater again.

I'll be seeing you, in March at Farm- ville, 'til then good luck to each and every one.

Yours,

Evelyn Noell Wood (Mrs.) 2113 Lake Avenue, Knoxville, Tenn.

The Green, Number Twenty-four Dover, Delaware Dear Class of 1920,

It was called to my attention the other day that next June will mark the twenty- fifth anniversary of our graduation! It had to be pointed out to me, because, to me at least, it doesn't seem that long ago.

Wouldn't it be fun to get together again on Founders' Day, March 10th? Wouldn't it be interesting to see what progress has been made, for we know the school has made progress with Dr. Jarman at its head? Wouldn't it be pleasant to see what remains as we knew it? And wouldn't it be exciting to see lots of our old friends? Can't we all suspend, for a brief period, the anxieties ot war, forget the woes of shopping, and ignore the difficulties of our time, to meet on the campus for a jolly reunion?

Do promise me this, at least, fellow- classmates: Promise to put this idea and date in the back of your minds for the

December, 1944

winter and build your early spring plans around trying to make it.

Hoping to see each and every one of you, I am

Your doting President,

Victoria Waiden Worden

Class of 1925 Dear Girls,

This is the year we have been waiting for. Our twentieth reunion! It hardly seems possible that so many years have passed since we worked, played and sang together in those beloved walls! What fun it would be if we could all meet at Farm- ville and live again the happiness of those days. The changes are so many that I wonder if we would know our way around !

Your response to my letter several years ago was just splendid. How I did enjoy so much interesting news from you! This time I'm looking forward to seeing you and talking over the worthwhile things you are doing these busy war days. Please start now making your plans to join us for a happy Founders Day anniversary.

With every good wish to each of you, Sincerely, Kitty Morgan Hogg

Dear Classmates of '35,

It is hard to realize that ten years have passed since we were the graduating class at S.T.C. To me it seems that only a short time ago we were together singing our class songs and singing to Miss Moran, our Classman. Wouldn't it be fun to get together and sing our songs and talk about all the things we used to do at Farmville?

This year the class of '35 will have its tenth reunion. Many things have hap- pened to us since we have been out of school, and we have just lots of things to talk about. At this time, everyone is bus- ier than usual, engaging in war activities (Continued on page 27)

Miss Mary White Cox

Miss Mary White Cox

^MJNDAY, October 8, 1944, marked the end of a life devoted to the service of Farm- *^ville State Teachers College. Miss Mary White Cox was the daughter of the late Mr. B. M. Cox, business manager of the College for many years, and his wife, Miss Helen Howlett. Graduating at S. T. C. in February, 1898, she taught in Franklin, Augusta and Tazewell Counties until 1902, when she became associated with the Home Department of our College. From 1915 until her retirement in June, 1944, she graced the position as Head of the Home with utmost poise and tact. The undersigned committee was ap- pointed by the Alumnae Executive Board to draw up suitable resolutions on her retire- ment. They were read by Dr. Jarman at the June commencement.

It is rare in the life of an institution when one loyal person serves it so long and so well as our "Miss Mary" has served our Alma Mater. Today she retires from her position with the admiration and affection of the hundreds of us who have grown up under her guidance and inspiration. We have observed in her a devotion to duty, almost martyr-like, yet we have rejoiced in her unfailing sense of humor that always triumphs over even the most perplexing circumstances.

Each girl who has come under her guidance has been aware of the fact that "Miss Mary" had an ideal for her girls — she desired each one to be courteous, helpful, and kind at all times.

No problem of ours has ever been too minor to claim her sympathetic at- tention; and her judgment we have found almost uncannily wise and sound. She has builded better than she knew, by holding steadfast to the plan that inspired the founders of our Alma Mater; she will have her reward in the knowledge that "her girls" are trying to conform to the pattern of life she ap- proved for them.

Thank you, Miss Mary, for all you have done for our Alma Mater and for each of us, and may God bless you and keep you.

Our Granddaughter's Club

LOOK at the roster of our "Granddaughters"! Thirty-three new ones this year, bring- ' ing the total number to one-hundred eight. It means a great deal to have these daughters and granddaughters of loyal Alumnae here. There is no surer way of per- petuating and strengthening the ideals for which our college has stood through the years.

Among Our Alumnae

The following Farmville Alumnae attended the Educational Conference for College and Public Scnool Personnel in Blacksburg, /\ugust 23-30, 1944: Sue F. Ayers, Supervisor in Prince William County, Manassas, Va. ; Mary Din- widdie, Supervisor in Rockingham County, Harrisonburg, Va.; Marguerite Erdman, Di- rector of Instruction in Essex and King and Queen Counties, Tappahannock, Va. ; Pearl Justice Freeman, Supervisor Sussex County, Stony Creek, Va. ; Charlotte Gresham, Teacher in Ferrum Junior College, Ferrum, Va. ; Mary Savedge, Supervisor in Appomattox County, Appomattox, Va.; Mary Warren Weston, Su- pervisor Washington County, Abingdon, Va.

1883

Nannie Forbes (Mrs. Asa D. Watkins) is an associate member of the Association of Alum- nae, as she was a student in the college which existed in Farmville just before the creation of the State Female Normal School. The Prince Edward Bar presented to the court a portrait of her husband, the late Judge Asa D. Wat- kins, as a token of the esteem and love of his associates and other friends. The exercises were impressive and moving and the tributes were summed up in the words, "He was a great man, a great jurist, a great friend."

r*

1884-1894

Loulie McKinney, 165 South Candler St., De- catur, Ga., >vas greatly interested in the 1944 Alumnae Magazine. "It gave me news of 'old girls' and their sons and daughters — friends that I've not heard from in years." In turn, she gave news of contemporaries and their kin. Longwood was the home of one of her an- cestors.

1895-1904

Harriet P. Hankins, of Williamsburg, Va., has been advanced from major to lientenant- colonel in the Army Nurse Corps. Her mother celebrated her one-hundredth birthday in May. A special gift of a pair of silver chalices was presented on behalf of the city by Mayor Hall and the City Council.

Ruby Leigh (Mrs. Francis L. Orgain) has a son, Francis, Jr., who received in June a promotion from captain to major. He was sta- tioned in the Pacific area.

Lillian Moore, daughter of Madge Good (Mrs. W. C. Moore), appeared at the Mosque, Richmond, last April as ballet mistress of the Connecticut Opera Association, heading her own company of dancers. "Aida" and "Car- men" were two of the operas given. She is a dancer, choreographer, lecturer, and summer director of the dances for the Cincinnati Sum- mer Opera Company. She has been the pre-

December, 1944

miere danseuse of the Metropolitan Opera As- sociation.

"Bruce Houston (Mrs. William Embrys Da- vis), 1900, died at her home in Lexington, Kentucky, in September, 1943. Loved and honored by family, church and fraternity, her full and useful life stands out shiningly in its completeness." From January, 1944, issue of Themis, Zeta Tau Alpha Magazine.

Elizabeth Carper (Mrs. W. D. Shelby) served as a Medical Doctor with her Doctor husband nine years in China. They returned in 1916 and settled in Charleston, Indiana. This town has been noted in the past three years for the biggest powder plant in the world. She writes: "Our five children are the pride of our lives. One son is in the Navy, one daughter is an Ensign in the WAVES, an- other daughter is overseas as a Red Cross worker."

Kate Vaughan (Mrs. F. Southall Farrar) was present on July 4 at Brunswick, Ga., when the Liberty ship F. Southall Farrar was launched. The 4-H Clubs of each state were given the privilege, by the United States Maritime Com- mission, of naming a ship in recognition of work done in food production, salvage, bond drives and other wartime activities. Mr. Far- rar, who died in February, 1940, was chosen for this honor in Virginia. He organized the first 4-H Club in the State, and during his thirty-three years as county and district agent for the Virginia Agricultural Extension Serv- ice gave strong support and supervision to tnis work of the boys and girls of the Southside division.

1905-1914

Margery Atkinson (Mrs. William Robinson) endeared herself to all first-graders and their parents in Emporia, Va., for many years. Now that she has retired from teaching, she is ac- tive in all civic, church, and patriotic organ- izations. She is the Vice-Regent of Hicksford Chapter, D.A.R. and the State Corresponding Secretary of the Daughters of 1812.

Carrie Rennie (Mrs. Thomas D. Eason), was cnosen by the Alpha Chapter of Alpha Sigma Alpha sorority as their outstanding Alumna of the year, and they presented her as their candidate for the National Wilma Wil- son Sharp award. This award is given to an outstanding Alumna each year. She is a leader in the Woman's Work of the Presbyterian Church; the Richmond P.-T. A.; D. A. R.; the Virginia Cancer Foundation; the Red Cross, USO, and OPA. Her three daughters have graduated at S. T. C. and her one son at Hampden-Sydney. Her husband, Dr. Thomas D.

The June Class of 1894

By Maud Pollard Turman

YOU could scarcely find a happier, "peppier" bunch of old ladies than the ten members of the June Class of 1894 who met in Farmville on Founders Day, 1944 to celebrate their fiftieth anni- versary. (For a woman to admit that she was graduated fifty years ago is of itself phenomenal!)

We came just as the Bible said they would come in the last days — from the East and from the West, from the North and from the South. I came from the "Deep South", all the way from Atlanta, Georgia, as the only member of the class living outside of Virginia,

16

We were royally treated during our stay, being domiciled in Cunningham Hall, and seated in the dining room at a large round-table where we reminisced and feasted both body and soul, as we rejoiced to be together once more.

We had met not only to attend the Founders Day exercises and renew our loyalty to our Alma Mater, and to cele- brate our fiftieth anniversary of our grad- uation, but deliberately with malice afore- thought, we went to Farmville with the avowed intention of winning the Jarman attendance cup for the second time, since nine members of our class attended the 1934 Founders Day, and had won the (Continued on page 39)

)Ea% J-jiaxu . . . (The Life of a Freshman— Year 1943-44)

Sept. 20, 1943, Dear Diary:

My first day at college and "oh" what a day. When I arrived at the train station this morning I must say I was homesick, frightened and lonely 'cause I didn't see a single familiar face. While I was still looking around, a girl in white with a blue badge on which said Y.W.C.A. came up to me and after a friendly greeting offered to show me my way to the college. I found out that she knows Jane and Mary who were at camp with me. She helped me register and matriculate and then showed me to my room. My roommate is a precious girl. She was already unpack- ing when I opened the door, and had also met lots of the other freshmen. After sup- per some one said, "Let's go to prayers." We went down to the auditorium and in the quiet of the candle light someone led a vesper program. I believe they have this service every night, and I'm going to plan to go. Tonight we went down to a room they call the "Rec". It is a recreation room. There I met lots of the other fresh- men and some of the upper classmen. Oh yes! They served us cokes and cookies and did they taste good. Some upper classmen sang for us, and one of the freshmen played boogie. I'm so tired and sleepy, but I believe I'm going to like this life at S.T.C.

Sept. 24, 1943, Dear Diary:

I met my "Big Sister" this morning and she said for me to be sure to press my taffeta because there's to be a "Big Sis- ter, Little Sister" reception Friday night.

December, 1944

Sept. 26, 1943, Dear Diary:

My! I was scared stiff at the idea of going down the receiving line. It wasn't half bad though. Dr. Jarman is so nice, and the faculty members aren't as digni- fied as they might seem to be — they're just like other folks I know. Refreshments and a skit ended up the evening just right.

Sept. 29, 1943, Dear Diary:

Tonight I went to the first lyceum pro- gram of the year. Mrs. Vera M. Dean, well known lecturer, spoke on "Russia As a World Power." She was very interest- ing, and I thoroughly enjoyed her talk.

Oct. 6, 1943, Dear Diary:

The strangest and most impressive thing happened today. In chapel they had an Alpha Kappa Gamma tapping service. As quiet music was played, the members dressed in the caps and gowns, walked slowly up the aisle, tapped the new girls, and took them back to the stage. I was all tense with wonder and excitement, not knowing who the next person would be. I don't think I'll ever forget the way I felt, and it was then that I made being a member of Alpha Kappa Gamma my goal.

Oct. 8, 1943, Dear Diary:

Tonight was really tops. I went to the presentation of the "Faculty Family Al- bum" and it was swell. I hardly recog- nized any of my teachers in their get-ups. They wore everything from bathing suits

17

to old-fashioned hoop skirts. Boy, are they going to get teased tomorrow.

Oct. 16, 1943, Dear Diary:

I have never spent such a hectic day. To begin with, I had to get up at five o'clock in order to dress for the day. O, I forgot to say that we are being ratted by the sophomores. After a day spent in making beds, sweeping, skipping, eating square meals, and lots of other nonsense things you would be exhausted, too.

Oct. 20, 1943, Dear Diary:

I actually felt like a woman this eve- ning. Clad in white "we" the freshmen of '43 were installed into the Y.W.C.A. The ceremony took place in beautiful Joan Court at twilight. My heart was filled with joy as carrying a lighted candle I took my place in the procession singing "Follow the Gleam".

Oct. 27, 1943, Dear Diary:

I certainly enjoyed chapel this morn- ing. Kappa Delta Pi, which is an honor society in education, announced the eight- een students to whom they have issued bids. I know they must feel honored. Maybe some day I'll have the same honor, I hope!

Nov. 19, 1943, Dear Diary:

Today was an eventful one — classes as usual — including a test in Spanish fol- lowed by an exciting evening. The dra- matic club presented the fall play — A. A. Milne's "Ivory Door". I really enjoyed it, and we have had more fun talking about it tonight. Honestly, the Club really de- serves credit for the grand acting, and that realistic looking staging.

Nov. 20, 1943, Dear Diary:

The Sophomore Commission was really performing tonight. They presented a

18

fashion show in the little auditorium. It was a real show, believe me. I laugh whenever I think of some of the ridiculous outfits they modeled which are worn around this campus. I guess I'd better get to bed 'cause I have an 8:05 class in the morning.

Dec. 17, 1943, Dear Diary:

Why do exams have to begin? They really take away all of the pleasure of thinking about the Christmas holiday. I guess I'll have to get up early in the morn- ing to finish studying.

Dec. 19, 1943, Dear Diary:

The mere thought of Christmas sends chills of joy up and down my spine. To- day the Freshman Commission decorated the mantle in the Rotunda and also a tree. After a marvelous banquet and Miss Rice's traditional telling of the "Other Wise Man" the student body went into the Rotunda and wrapped cedar around the columns and up the banister. The Rotunda really looks beautiful now. To- morrow night there is to be a Christmas pageant, and the next night the president of the student body is going to tell the story "Why the Chimes Rang". I just can hardly wait to catch that train home on Tuesday. I guess I'll dream about Santa Claus and sugar plums tonight.

Jan. 20, 1944, Dear Diary:

I really feel relieved tonight. Yes sir, it's all over now and was a grand success. I'm speaking of the Commission's presen- tation of "A Night at the Stork Club". The little auditorium was overflowing with people, and everyone said it was a real success. I'm so happy!

Feb. 2, 1944, Dear Diary:

Today in chapel the distinguished Dr. McMullen, Presbyterian missionary to

Alumnae Magazine

China spoke to us. He is a charming gen- tleman and I must say his internment in a Japanese camp didn't seem to affect him physically. He told of his thrilling experiences as a prisoner and then of his trip back to the States on the Gripsholm. I'm glad I wasn't in his shoes.

Feb. 19, 1944, Dear Diary:

I have never seen such pretty girls as were down at the dance tonight. It was the annual Mardi Gras Dance. The queen and her court looked gorgeous. I met a precious boy in navy blue. He said he was going to write to me next week. After the dance was over I dashed up to second floor Rotunda to watch the dates come in. Do my feet hurt!

Feb. 22, 1944, Dear Diary:

Everyone said it was just wonderful, and we freshmen are so glad that the pro- duction was a huge success. The best thing about it was that practically all of us were in it. You see — we had all of the months in the year and a skit for each month. I laughed myself until I thought I would just about die, I was scared while I was doing my part, but it was fun. You'll see.

Feb. 29, 1944, Dear Diary:

Golly, I had fun tonight. We little sis- ters entertained our big sisters at a coke and nab party in the "Rec". We really had the S.T.C. spirit if you judged it by our singing.

Mar. 5, 1944, Dear Diary:

Big doings! I liked chapel very much today because it featured a Founder's Day program. Phillis Pedigo, a Farmville alumna, talked to us. I had read in the Reader's Digest about her experiences as a Red Cross worker in Australia, but I'd never dreamed of seeing her face to face. And the class of 1894!! They were ten of

December, 1944

the spryest old ladies I've ever seen, and one of them, a "Georgia Peach", gave the cutest little talk. We clapped and clapped for her. Here's hoping that I'm half as attractive .as they when I grow old.

March 27, 1944, Dear Diary:

I've tried to go to Sunday School each Sunday especially this month. There's been a contest on between the churches. The Baptist girls won and we losers have to entertain them at a party.

March 31, 1944, Dear Diary:

Major elections are over! I think the officers for next year are going to be tops. Of course we have a vague idea of who would win in the elections, but the sus- pense was still terrific.

April 15, 1944, Dear Diary:

Today was certainly an unusual one. The Duke choir came up and joined our choir in a concert for the afternoon. They were directed by the internationally known Dr. T. Tertius Noble. The com- bined choirs gave a perfectly beautiful interpretation of Brahm's Requiem. The Duke boys ate in the dining hall with us at dinner. As we were leaving, they sang several snappy numbers — to Miss Mary's astonishment.

April 19, 1944, Dear Diary:

Gosh! I've almost racked my brain — in fact, I feel like another Einstein. What I'm getting at is that I have just returned from a quiz contest. Five brilliant Hamp- den-Sydney lads met with five of our wiz- ards in a thrilling contest tonight. Miss Phyllis Pedigo was with them and acted as Mistress of Ceremonies. She fired the questions at them which really got things started in a hurry. It was much fun — of course H-S won, but that's' beside the point. Oh well, there will always be more quizzes.

April 21, 1944, Dear Diary:

At a Lyceum tonight I heard Miss Li Ling-Ai speak. She is the only Chinese woman producer in the world of the the- ater, an actress, dancer, lecturer, writer, designer, aviatrix, and doctor. What a woman! She spoke on "China Tomor- row". It is certainly broadening my pre- vious knowledge to have the opportunity of hearing such famous people.

April 23, 1944, Dear Diary:

Today at chapel we had a very pleasant surprise. Rev. Claude Pickens, a returned missionary from China spoke to us on the "War in China". He wore a beautiful silk robe such as some of the natives wear. How I would love to visit China one day! Since I can't right now, I'd better read that chapter in my history book on China, which has to be read for class tomorrow.

May 5, 1944, Dear Diary:

Since it rained today we could not have our annual May Day program out at Longwood, but the dance tonight was wonderful and made up for the disap- pointment of the afternoon. All of the May Court wore their May Day costumes, and they were beautiful. I think my date had a good time being rushed by all of the girls.

May 6, 1944, Dear Diary:

May Day is over but what fun I did have working and slaving over my little dance and costume. We had the exer- cises today out at Longwood, and they really went over well in spite of the many handicaps.

May 10, 1944, Dear Diary:

Whatta day! Wonder if I'll ever rest my "weary bones" again? I really had a wonderful time at Camp Pickett though. The Wacs and soldiers are really tops, and I'll never forget how nice they were to me. I was lucky enough to ride in one of "those

20

Jeeps", too. Boy, it was fun. Eating in the mess hall was quite an experience — more food! I won't soon forget the big dance that the boys gave in our honor. The orchestra was grand, and so were the boys ! Incidentally, the whole student body had been invited over for the afternoon and evening. Gee whizz, my feet hurt, and I'm sleepy.

May 1 5, 1 944, Dear Diary :

Honestly, I'm getting to feel like an upperclassman. We had a conference at Longwood today to plan for next year's work in the Y.W.C.A. Nannie had made some of her delicious buns, and they really hit the spot after the meeting was over.

May 16, 1944, Dear Diary:

Things are really coming to a close. This morning was "Senior Chapel Day", and it really started one to thinking. The color cup was presented to "Red and White" — just wait until next year — , and after the enthusiasm died down our own Dr. Jarman sang to the seniors his usual song "Keep on Hoping". The seniors then presented their songs to the student body and faculty. My heart was filled to over- flowing at the thought that these wonder- ful girls won't be back next year. I ex- pect the juniors really felt happy and sad as they marched out under the arch of caps.

May 28, 1944, Dear Diary:

I can't believe that I'll soon be a sopho- more. This has been one grand year. 'Course it's not quite over, but only a few more days left in this year at S.T.C. My trunk has already been sent home and my old room on Main looks mighty bare. Oh, the annuals came out last week and I'm so proud of mine. I still have to get lots of folks to sign it. Diary, this has been a wonderful year at college, and I'm look- ing forward to my next three years here.

Administration and Faculty News

SOME friends in the State Department of Education sponsored a dinner in Richmond this summer in honor of Dr. Jarman. The occasion was the celebration of his forty-two years as president of our College and fifty-five years as an educator in Virginia. The invited guests included the Presidents of the other Colleges in Virginia, some of the leaders in educa- tional affairs, representatives from the faculty and Alumnae Chapters and per- sonal friends. It was impossible to invite a larger group as the accommodations were limited. Among the Alumnae pres- ent were Louise McCormick Brown and her husband, Frances Howard, Julia Asher, Anne Smith Green, Emma Webb Watkins, Kate Trent, Ruth Jordan, Cor- nelia Dickinson Nuckols, Carrie Rennie Eason, Maria Bristow Starke and her hus- band, Mary Lou Campbell Graham, Lucy Haile Overby Webster, Carrie Sutherlin, and Louise Ford Waller. Dr. Dabney Lancaster was the toastmaster. Many im- promptu speeches called forth much wit and humor. All the speeches were affec- tionate and appreciative tributes to Dr. Jarman as College President, administra- tor, and friend. Dr. Jarman's response was in his best style. Dr. Joseph Saunders, President of the State Board of Education, and a life-long friend, presented him with a handsomely bound volume of letters from many friends.

Dr. Martha Smith, our new Dean of Women, is a native of Kentucky. She re- ceived her bachelor of arts degree at But- ler University, Indianapolis, Ind., her mas- ter's at Birmingham Southern, Birming- ham, Ala., and her Ph.D. from the Uni- versity of Nebraska. Following this she studied at the Universite de Basacon in Doubis, France, and the French School

Dean Smith

of Middlebury, Vt. For the past seven years she has been dean of women at State Teachers College, Wayne, Nebraska.

Alpha Lee Garnett, Richmond, succeeds Rachel Royal as assistant to the Dean of Women at S.T.C. She received her B.S. degree from Farmville and taught at Cul- peper and Ravenscroft School, Raleigh, N. C. For the past year she has been with the American Red Cross at the Army Air Base in Richmond.

Dr. George W. Jeffers, head of the De- partment of Biology, has been given a leave of absence for one year. He is di- rector of the Chesapeake Bay Fisheries Study under the auspices of the Chesa- peake Bay Commission. The study is financed by the General Education Board.

Mr. Norman O. Myers of the Business Education Department, is on leave of ab- sence, serving in the U. S. Navy.

Dr. Leroy Merritt, librarian, is serving with the U. S. Army in France.

When Readers Write

"I can't find words to express my pleas- ure as I read the Alumnae Magazine. It is an inspiration to read about the girls I used to know. It makes me want to do big things, too." — Lettie C. Laughan.

"I've gotten quite a thrill out of the Alumnae Bulletins which have reached me in a round-about way. I am so glad to contribute to a portrait of Miss Coul- ling. I loved and admired her very much. The things she taught me have been of real value in bringing up my four chil- dren and in running my home." — Nellie Heath Walker,

"My sister, Julia, and I are still talking about the wonderful time we had in Farm- ville on Founders Day. It was nice to see our old College expanding, growing more beautiful and carrying on its fine work." — Annette Leach Gemwell.

"It wouldn't be possible to tell you how much we enjoyed our stay on Founders Day. Thank Dr. Jarman for giving us this privilege. The program was beautiful- ly carried out, the hospitality shown us was wonderful, and the comforts you pro- vided for our fiftieth anniversary were perfect." — Pauline Harris Netherland; Alma Harris Richardson.

"The memories of my trip to Farmville will ever be a pleasure to me. To have a large group of my classmates and other old friends of forty years ago there as a kind of receiving line started me off de- lightfully. It gave me a feeling of impor- tance, and you know that helps. We never grow too old for flattery. To me the spirit of the dear old place is very remarkable. I enjoyed my rambles through the old hallways because there I was communing with the "Master Spirits" of forty years ago. Happily though some of those spirits were there in body. I gave Miss Rice a hard, tight hug." — Carrie Martin Pegigo.

24

"As usual I read the Alumnae Bulletin from cover to cover. It is a fine job and it is a real joy to get it. Farmville S. T. C. means more to me than any other College, since I owe more to it than to any other College. It gave me my real start as a teacher, and my husband, the greatest of all my blessings." — Fannie Littleton Kline.

"It gave me quite a start to see myself listed by my maiden name in the Alum- nae Bulletin when my house was fairly being taken apart by our three children. So to keep scandal from my door and to put the records up to date, I am writing to say I am Mrs. J. Henry Clippard in- stead of Sadie Hunt." (Moral: Don't let this happen to you!)

"The nine Lynchburg Alumnae cer- tainly enjoyed the recent Founders Day visit to Farmville." — Helen Costen.

"I do appreciate the picture of the Class of 1894. Mr. McCorkle did a wonderful job with these ten old ladies. With the exception of two who would have their heads too high, all were flattered. But we all felt like holding them high that event- ful day. Thank all who had a part in giv- ing us so many pleasures." — Effie Shell Chappell.

"Thanks for the wonderful Founders Day week-end. It was worth traveling many more miles to hear Phyllis Pedigo. As my son, Joe, is in New Guinea, her talk was near to my heart." — Esme Howell Smith.

"It seems that I only had time to say "Hello" and "Good-bye", but I surely enjoyed doing that. It is always grand to get back to Farmville from faraway Bris- tol."— Mary Dornin Stant.

"The Bulletin just received gave me quite a thrill. I do wonder what has hap- pened to the members of the Class of

Alumnae Magazine

February 1901? I would love to hear from them. I hope I can return to old Farm- ville some day and see all the great changes." — Elizabeth Carper Shelby, M.D.

"Every time I visit Farmville, I am convinced that old S.T.C. is the finest place ever." — Virginia Brinkley.

"Farmville meant so much to me that I should like to serve her in any possible way." — Mary Berkeley Nelson.

"Nancy Lyne expressed my feelings per- fectly in the 1944 Alumnae Bulletin. I have read her letter many times and I am asking that you send catalogs to some

Swarthmore friends, who have daughters interested in becoming kindergarten teachers." — Kitty Carroll Price.

"How nice to have a letter from our 1914 class president, Maria Bristow Starke, and to get the Bulletin with its news and pictures of Dr. Jarman and Louise Ford Waller! I am living in La- Jolla, Calif., one of the busy crossroads of this country, and life is very exciting here. My husband is a physician and terribly hard at work. I wonder if any other Farmville Alumnae live near me?" — Lucy Heath Sherrill.

Class Reunions

and doing everything possible to aid in the winning of the war, but try to take a little time off to come back to Farmville on Founders Day. We'll talk over our four years of school and tell each other about our last ten years — we'll have a "whale of a reunion".

Best wishes to each of you, and I am looking forward to seeing a lot of you on Founders Day.

Sincerely, Frankie McDaniel Cargill

President

New York City September 22, 1944

Greetings Class of '35:

Imagine us being up for the ten-year hurdle. Quite a jump, eh lassies? There's compensation in the green pastures of our first really important reunion though. You'll have to admit that!

Remember in June, 1935, how seriously we took ourselves, always saying to each other, "Wonder what we'll be doing ten years from now?" It seemed time enough to accomplish any feat — from captivating a husband and beginning a family to

December, 1944

climbing to the top ring of the career ladder. Of course, we didn't reckon with a war way back then, despite Dr. Walms- ley's warning to keep an eye on the Japs.

Founder's Day 1945 will be the ideal time to get the answers to our ten years of waiting. For who of us can resist a continued story, especially the personal ones? You know you'd get a kick out of shooting the breeze with the old crowd.

"What are you doing anyway? How in the world did you rate that wonderful position? Where's your husband these days, Army, Navy, or home front? Two children? My, I hadn't heard about the first one! I love the new coiffure, my dear. You look younger than you did ten years ago." (Who other than a classmate would say that?)

Snap shots and stories galore, that's what we want. Bring them back alive if you can. If you can't, send them back anyway so the ones of us who do get back can enjoy them.

Here, my friends, is to 1945, may it be a year of reunion for the world as well as the class. See you next spring, I hope. Affectionately yours,

Lena Mac Gardner,

(Mrs. Macon C. Sammons)

Vice-President

Alumnae Magazine

Class of 1894

(Continued from page 16)

We were somewhat disconcerted on the evening of our arrival to hear the rumor that another class was expecting one hun- dred per cent attendance. That made us a little anxious, but we vowed that we'd believe that only when we saw it! Hence it was not until shortly before the exer- cises began the next morning that we were informed that no class had beat our rec- ord.

Out of the twenty-one who composed the class of 1894, there were thirteen still living, and ten of the thirteen were pres- ent and accounted for! When the classes were called for according to the date of their graduation, you can imagine that there was something of a sensation created when ten women arose to respond for June 1894. We were also the oldest "old grads" present, and tho some of the younger girls might have expected to see us in various degrees of decrepitude, be- lieve it or not, we were all quite spry! Mrs. Coyner made us feel that we were in reality the "piece de resistance" of the whole occasion!

At the Alumnae luncheon which imme- diately followed the formal exercises in the auditorium, our class were the guests of honor, and to cap the climax, we each found at our place at the table a daintily wrapped package which was so intriguing that we could not resist the temptation to open it and see what it contained. Imag- ine our delight to discover that we were being presented with an after-dinner cup and saucer of Wedgewood china with a picture of the Rotunda on it! It goes without saying that this souvenir of our reunion will be treasured by us as long as we live.

As we were leaving the luncheon, we were met by one of the professors who in- formed us that he was an amateur pho-

December, 1944

tographer and would like to take our pic- tures. Accordingly we were hastily grouped on the back steps of the main building and were photographed, that is, all of us except Lena Trower Ames who had been detained by someone who wanted to give her an address, and it was not until our names were asked for that it was discovered that Lena was not among those present!

You will pardon me, I am sure, if I brag a little about the class which has kept together in a most unusual way, largely through the influence of our class letter, instituted by Lena Trower Ames, and which has made its regular rounds through all these fifty years. Then too, the several reunions which we have held through the intervening years, at several different places, have served to keep us in closer touch with each other than would have been possible otherwise.

Those who attended the fiftieth anni- versary were Lena Trower Ames from the Eastern Shore, Mabyn Branch Simp- son of Norfolk, Loulie Gayle Bland and Lola Bland from King and Queen County, Ruby Hudgins Diggs of Hamp- ton, our twins — Alma Harris Netherland and Pauline Harris Richardson of Din- widdie, Janie Staples Chappell of Meher- rin, Mary Fitzhugh Eggleston of Bedford and Maud Pollard Turman of Atlanta, Georgia. Of course, we greatly missed and longed for the three living members who were unable to be present — Lizzie Ben- nett of Arlington, Mattie Buchanan of Dublin, Julia Leache of Roanoke, as well as those members of our class who have "gone on before" — Cathie Wilkie of Gor- donsville, Emma Higgins Johnson of Gil- merton, Georgia, Wescott Stokley of the Eastern Shore, Julia Harrison Pedrick, originally from Portsmouth, but who died in New Orleans, Jennie Chandler Cole- man of Massaponax, Virginia Greever of

39

Wytheville, Mary Sue Oglesby of Draper and Mabel Roberts Tankard of the East- ern Shore. We were delighted to have our ranks increased by having Effie Shell Chappell, who graduated in February, 1894, come with her cousins, "the Harris girls."

Our class president from 1894 until her greatly deplored death in February, 1943, was Mary Sue Oglesby. We then did what so far as I know has not been done by any other class, — we elected two pres- idents to take her place. For more than a year we have been functioning most harmoniously under our twin presidents — Alma Harris Netherland and Pauline Har- ris Richardson of Dinwiddie. It seemed appropriate to us to have them both as president since we could never think of one without the other, and since in all their lives they have never been separated.

We have felt that our class was suffi- ciently unusual in so many respects that perhaps coming generations would be in- terested in knowing about this class which graduated when the institution was ex- actly ten years old, and accordingly we asked Mary Fitzhugh Eggleston, who has a phenomenal memory, to write a history of our class and the circumstances which were a part of our life at Farmville. Mary, having carefully prepared such a history, brought it with her to read to the assem- bled class for criticism and additions. This history when it is put in final shape, will be presented to the college to be preserved in the archives of the institution. And who knows but that some girl graduating fifty years from now, and desiring to write the history of the college, may find it most helpful to know something of the early days at Farmville, and we will then become "source material"!

Look out for us in 1954 when we are already planning to be back at Founders Day to win the cup for the third time in succession !

Administration and Faculty News

ness Education Department, has been teaching at the U. S. Naval Training School at Bloomington, Ind. He returned to S.T.C. in September.

Mr. and Mrs. Richard Hallisy of the Business faculty, left Farmville in June for further study. Mr. Hallisy was substi- tuting for Mr. Landrum.

Miss Lisabeth Purdom, assistant profes- sor of Music at S.T.C. since 1928, died at St. Luke's Hospital, Richmond, in July. Her untimely death brought sorrow to her many devoted students and friends in Farmville, throughout Virginia and her native State of Georgia. She was director of the College orchestra, and gave many young people their start in this field.

Miss Mary M. Snead, assistant librarian, left in June to accept a government posi- tion in Washington, D. C.

Miss Sara B. Tucker of the History fac- ulty, and Miss Georgiana Stephenson, su- pervisor of the seventh grade in the Col- lege Training School, retired in June. Miss Tucker spent the summer at her home in Lake Junaluska, N. C. Miss Ste- phenson is living with her sister in Cov- ington, Va.

Miss Rachel Royall, assistant to the dean of women, resigned at the end of the first term of summer school. She is teach- ing in her home, Tazewell, Va.

The following are new members of the faculty for the year 1944-45 :

Miss Zita C. Bellamy, a native of Ohio, associate professor of Business Education, comes from Tusculum College. She has a masters degree and has completed her course work for a doctorate at the U. of Pittsburgh.

Miss Marion Terry, assistant librarian,

40

is a native of Riverhead, N. Y. She holds a masters degree in Library Science from Columbia University. Miss Terry comes to us from Pennsylvania.

Mrs. Ruth W. Bradshaw, Mus.M., as- sociate professor of music, has taught in Kentucky, Texas and Mexico. She is ;i native of Louisville, Kentucky.

Miss Mary B. Dabney, M.A., Colum- bia, assistant professor of Physical Educa- tion, comes from Lynchburg, Va. She is an official in national basketball and on the Sports Committee, Physical Education for the State.

Arthur Paul Davisson, of Fairmont, W. Va., Professor of Biology, comes from Fairmont State College. He has a masters from the University of W. Va., and is working on his doctorate at the University of Pittsburgh. Mr. Davisson is substitut- ing for Dr. Jeffers.

Mrs. Janice Speer Lemen, M.A., comes from Braggadocia, Mo. She is assistant professor of Art.

Dr. C. G. G. Moss, a native of Lynch- burg, associate professor of History, comes from Mary Washington College. Dr. Moss has taught here before and needs no introduction to S.T.C. His doctorate is from Yale University. Dr. Moss married one of our Alumnae, Laura Anderson, and they have a son and a daughter.

Olive Parmenter, M.A., a native of Lima, Ohio, is assistant professor of Busi- ness Education. She comes from St. Law- rence University, Canton, N. Y.

Mr. Christy Snead, M.A., is a resident of Dunns, W. Va. Mr. Snead is assistant professor of Business Education. He has taught at Winthrop College and Black- stone College.

Dr. Francis B. Simkins of the History and Social Science Department, is author of "Pitchfork Ben Tillman, South Caro- linian". It is the story of the one-eyed farmer who in 1890 captured control of

the South's most conservative common- wealth from the aristocrats, and then among other interesting things, estab- lished Winthrop and Clemson Colleges. This 600-page narrative with handsome illustrations will be published this fall by the Louisiana State University Press, Baton Rouge, La.

Dr. Sibyl Henry, principal of the Farm- ville Elementary School, presented her thesis and was granted the Ph.D. degree from the University of North Carolina in June. Her subject was "Children's Audio- grams in Relation to Reading Attain- ment." The highly reliable connection found between high-tone acuity and read- ing achievement suggests that the school must assume the responsibility for discov- ering high-tone loss and for providing compensatory measures.

Miss Georgia Norris, Supervisor in the Farmville Elementary School, was a dele- gate to the National Convention of the D.A.R. held in Cincinnati, Ohio, in April.

Professors J. M. Grainger and M. Boyd Coyner were the S.T.C. representatives at the Conference for College and High School Personnel at V.P.I. August 23-30, 1944.

Miss Helen Draper, professor of French and Spanish, spent the summer studying in Mexico City.

Sophie Graham Booker (Mrs. Andrew D. Packer) , became resident nurse of the College in January, 1944. Following her graduation from Johns Hopkins Hospital School of Nursing she spent three years in China, during which time she helped with the establishment of the Rockefeller Hospital in Peking. In 1930 she opened the out-patient department of the South- side Community Hospital, Farmville, later took charge of the out-patient department at Johns Hopkins. Just before coming to Farmville she was superintendent at St. Luke's Hospital, Tryon, N. C.

Brief Report of Alumnae Secretary

November 6, 1943 to October 1, 1944

1. Alumnae Magazine: The magazines were mailed out only one week before Founders Day due to war conditions in the printing world. About 7,000 magazines were mailed and about 475 were returned because of incorrect ad- dresses.

2. Alumnae in the Armed Forces:

a. Alumnae magazines, Christmas cards and letters were sent to all Alumnae in the service.

b. Special record cards and pictures have been filed in the Office.

c. A most impressive exhibit of pictures with their service record was made in the library for Founders Day.

3. Alumnae Cultivation in the present student body:

a. I have attended a senior class meeting, talking to them about the work of the Alumnae Association, and asking that they elect a class representative. Mary Moore McCorkle was elected.

b. Seniors have been invited to visit the Alumnae Office and see what a tremendous effort we are making to keep our files up-to- date. We show them our master file, the ad- dressograph or geographic file, and the mar- riage file.

c. I have visited the Granddaughters Club several times and talked to them about the work of the Alumnae Association. They have acted as hostesses on all occasions when the Alumnae have returned.

d. Alumnae magazines have been distributed to the seniors, Granddaughters, summer stu- dents and Alpha Kappa Gamma members.

4. Rotundas: Each week the Staff gives our office the privilege of mailing twenty copies of The Rotunda. These are sent to Chapters, Ex- ecutive Board Members, and individual Alum- nae.

5. Visits to Chapters and other Alumnae Groups: I have visited the following places for Alumnae meetings: Lynchburg, Roanoke, Washington, Richmond, Petersburg, Clarksville, Bristol, Tazewell, Wytheville, Pulaski, Norfolk, Portsmouth, Culpeper and Hampton.

6. Prospective Students: Emphasis has been placed on the help the Alumnae can give in interesting good students to attend our College. I visited about 45 high schools this spring. The Alumnae have arranged teas, picnics, and trips to the College for High School students on May Day. During the summer, follow-up letters were written to each student who indi- cated an interest in attending this College.

7. American Alumni Council: I attended the Regional Conference of the American Alumni Council in Atlanta, Ga., December 6-7, 1943. The theme of the conference was "Alumni Work in Time of War." The talks were most interesting and inspirational.

Notice Alumnae

At the spring meeting of the Alumnae Exec- utive Board it was voted to add the portrait of Dr. F. A. Millidge to our "Hall of Fame" in the new College Library. It was suggested that only those who knew and loved Dr. Mill- idge would wish to contribute to this portrait fund. Hence the appeal is included in this Bulle- tin.

We feel sure that those girls who sat at Dr. Millidge's feet and learned from the "walking encyclopedia," as you affectionately called him, will want to see his portrait when you visit your Alma Mater.

Send all contributions to one of the under- signed committee.

The Robert Frazer Memorial Fund

Miss Rice reports that Normal League Loans are being repaid, and that the Robert Frazer Memorial Fund (Normal League Fund), is now within twenty dollars of the goal she set for the past year. True, several thousand dollars are still due, but Miss Rice is hopeful that she will see many debts wiped out before she retires. Many students have been aided by the Normal League, and their appreciation has been expressed through letters as returns are made. Can we make Miss Rice happy on next Founders Day by sending her more letters and by paying even a small amount on the loan received?

Alumnae, Please Help!!

If you have moved or married, or both, please send in your correct name and ad- dress. Just a plain postal to the Alumnae Secretary will do. Include other Alumnae who have recently moved and may not receive this Bulletin. So far Frances Strohecker is the only member of the Class of 1944 who has sent the promised postal!

No Election This Year

Men Are Drafted— Why Not Women?

At a meeting of the Nominating Committee, Monday, September 24, 1944, it was voted unanimously to draft for another term, if possible, the services of the two officers due to be elected this year, namely a president and a director. This action was submitted to the present officers and they have consented to serve another term.

The committee feels that two important circumstances justify this war time procedure. First, the splendid services these two officers have rendered, and second, the difficulty of securing nominees in the short time allotted us before the Bulletin has to go to press, October 1. The cost of mailing 7,000 separate ballots to you later in the year is almost prohibitive.

We sincerely hope that this action meets with your hearty approval and that you will voice your appreciation when you meet Louise Ford Waller, your president, and Carrie Sutherlin, your director, on Founders Day.
