Bulletin State Teachers College Farmville, Virginia

Alumnae Issue

Volume XXX No. 1 February, 1944 To Our Alumnae

IN Spite of War Conditions in this third year of war, work at the College is going

along satisfactorily. Our enrollment is

normal, and there is an air of seriousness

about the members of the student-body that promises one of the best years Farmville has enjoyed.

Of course there are changes, but there are always changes, for change is the way of progress. But Farmville is still holding to its main purpose— to train the best teachers possible for the schools of

Virginia. And I am satisfied that the teachers now being trained at Farmville will, when they go into the schools of the Commonwealth, compare favorably with the thousands of teachers who have gone out from this College in the sixty years of its history.

It is difficult to realize that the College is sixty years old. It seems only a short time ago that our fiftieth anniversary was cele- brated. Perhaps this is not a time to boast, but I feel that I state the truth and express the sentiments of all alumnae and friends of the

College when I say that the past sixty years have been outstanding in terms of achievement, and the future is most promising. Its services are unlimited, and with the alumnae rests the responsibility of helping the College to realize its opportunities.

Your Friend,

President Alumnae President's Letter

Dear Alumnae :

In this issue of the Bulletin, I have been given the opportunity to send greetings to each of you, and to thank you for the honor you have conferred upon me.

As President of the Alumnae Associa- tion, I have derived much pleasure in return- ing frequently to Farmville State Teachers

College. There I have found the welcome

so cordial and sincere. I wish that I could share the privilege with those of you who

have not had this contact in recent years. I

shall be glad, indeed, if my impressions of our College today, passing to you, will entice

you to retrace your steps and renew your • spirit there.

At this time while our world is at war, we are amazed at the remarkable way we are reacting to the impact of war, and

through all the misery of it, we maintain a sense of proportion and balance. Edu- cation, spiritual, mental and physical, has played a large part in training us to be

citizens in a democracy to which the whole world is looking. Can we not expect even greater results from our College in the Post War World when trained teachers will be so essential?

We, as Alumnae of this vital institution, can be of inestimable value in giving

moral and financial support to its program. Your loyalty will pay rich dividends. More than six thousand Alumnae, with pride in their hearts, can accomplish great things by taking active interest in our College through local Alumnae Chapters, attending meetings, serving as officers and supporting the Association financially. Many, through chapters and individually, are already aiding scholarship funds. I am especially gratified at your interest and devotion in promoting this phase of our common effort.

I have the faith that we will unite in our endeavor to advance the interests of Alma Mater, which will give us the satisfaction of having performed a duty, right- fully imposed upon us, to the end that capable teachers can be provided for the public free schools of Virginia, now and in the future.

Sincerely yours,

Louise Ford Waller.

Dr. Jarman then made an appeal to the Alumnae to continue teaching in this world crisis. He also asked that they continue to send us students for \'irginia's future teachers.

The six o'clock dinner in the College dining hall was a beautiful and never- to-be-forgotten occasion. The reunion classes were seated together, and though the dress was formal, the meeting of students, alumnae, and faculty was most in-

formal. The College orchestra, directed b)' Miss Lisabeth Purdom, furnished lovely dinner music.

Afterwards the reunion classes met in the College parlors to really remi- nisce. Old annuals, kodak and memory books, and graduating dresses were on display. Letters from absent members were read. Such fun

At S :00 p. m. the College Dramatic Club, under the direction of Miss Leola

Class Reunions « « «

BECAUSE of the war, the executive board considered seriously at both meetings, the advisabihty of having class reunions this year. Dr. Jarman suggested that we proceed as usual, since our situation is different at S.T.C.

February, 1944 43 aLL THE WORLD is moving, and surely our Farmville Alumnae are changing their names and addresses very rapidly. Last year more than a thousand changes

were made in the Alumnae office. In spite of this about four-hundred Alumnae

magazines vi^ere returned because of incorrect addresses. Then letters were

received with such questions as "Why is it I do not receive the Ahimnae maga-

zine?" Instead of that letter please reach for a penny postal card and mail it to

the Alumnae Secretary. Include your correct address and others you may know.

Also, if you know of any Alumnae in the service of their country who

were omitted in this issue of the magazine, please write the Alumnae Secretary.

Use the blank space on your returned ballot for this and any other news.
