ALUMNAE NEWS

Volume XXXV FEBRUARY. 1949 Number I Jrresiident

\_j^J\CSiS't.GTL S As I enter upon my thifd session at Farmville, I welcome the opportunity to send a word of greeting to our alumnae and to report some of Ml6SS3.^V^ the accomplishments of the last twelve months. Now that I have attained "Junior" status, I can really look forward to assuming the full dignity of an alumnus in a relatively short time. The College has enrolled an excellent class of freshmen in so far as quality, ability and charm are concerned. We have continued our plan of careful selection of candidates for admission and had to reject relatively few as compared with a year ago. Apparently, only gii'ls of good quality applied. It becomes increasingly necessary, however, for our fine group of alumnae to become more active than ever in interesting girls of ability in coming to S.T.C. Three of our faculty members of long standing have retired. They ai-e Dr. Walmsley, Miss Taliaferro, and Miss Camper. We are grateful to them for their years of devoted and effective service to the College. We welcome the new faculty and staff members who have joined our ranks. They will be presented elsewhere in this issue of the Bulletin. I congratulate the alimmae upon their substantial contributions to the Jarman Organ Fund. If the good work continues, the organ will be available when the new auditorium is dedicated. The Legislature of 1948 did well by us. The appropriation for opera- tion and maintenance was as adequate as could have been expected in the light of the many other demands upon the funds of the State. For capital expenditm-es more than a million dollars was appropriated. Plans have been completed for the new science hall and greenhouse and bids called for. The building will be located just west of Cunningham Hall across Race Street. It is hoped that before the session is over the new auditorium-music building will be under way. The town council has agreed to close Race Street, and the auditorium will be located west of the Library facing High Street and centered in what is now Race Street. The additions of these two buildings will provide adequately for our physical plant needs for some years to come. This past summer acoustical tile to reduce noise has been placed in the ceiling of the dining hall, and the entire room has been painted. The floor of the rotunda and adjacent halls has been covered with mastic tile, adding greatly to the general appearance of the building. The Alumnae Association is to be congratulated upon the addition of the soda fountain and snack bar which are adding to the happiness of the students. A critical analysis is being made of the college courses and their content, in order to be sure that the best possible preparation for teaching and for good citizenship is provided. It is my hope that each and every alumna will feel free to make con- structive suggestions for the improvement of the College. Good team work on the part of alumnae, faculty, students and administration will mean an ever greater contribution by the College to the life of the Commonwealth.

Dear Alumnae, Our jNatlOnal '1 It has been a joy to serve as your T^ j nominal head for the past two years. I -- -TCOlt-ldlL say "nominal" head because we realize that the activities of our organization are accomplished most efficiently under the direction of our beloved Executive

Secretaiy, Ruth Harding Coyner. It is most fitting to take this opportunity to express our appreciation to her and her staff. You will be interested in the following projects of the Alumnae at this time:

1. The Jarman Organ Fund (so dear to our hearts). The State has already appropriated the money for the new auditorium, so you will realize the importance of completing the amount for the organ. This can be done by personal and chapter contributions and payment of pledges already made.

2. Class reunions are to be held every five years instead of every ten. What a very fine thing this is! Ten years brings such changes that we often don't recognize each other.

3. The Alumnae Council, launched October 1947, is composed of the Board, Chapter presidents (or a representative) and Class secre-

taries. This Council meets annually, in the fall, and has already proved a great stimulant. 4. The Class Agent System has surpassed our hopes in its success.

You will get a brief statement of tliis in the "Alumnae Fund" report. 5. Have you heard of the "Snack Bar", located in the Recreation Hall,

owned and operated by the Alumnae? After it "pays for itself"

we believe it will be a real source of revenue for us. Be sure to visit-

it when you return.

My message would be incomplete without a word of praise to Dr. Lancaster and the faculty for their continued emphasis on scholarship as a basis of teaching. Echoes of their raising of standards are heard constantly among educators in Virginia and other states. How fortunate we are! But let's remember that the whole-hearted support of the Alumnae is necessary for the greatest success of our College. We can keep in touch personally, through our class, or through the local chapter. (Where there is no local chapter, can't you organize one?)

Founder's Day is March 12, 1949, and we are looking forward to seeing you. Sincerely always,

]\Iaria Bristow Starke, National President, Association of Alumnae, S.T.C. —

My Garden

My garden is a lovely place, With dewy ferns and cobweb lace,

And boughs that bend above the pool To keep the ferns and lilies cool.

My garden is a restful place With creeping ^'ines to shade my face

And shield my eyes from dust and glare; While I'm at rest in silence there.

In some bright, open, sunny spaces

I see s\^'eet, life-like pansy faces,

And wonder as I beg their pardon, What they are thinking of my garden.

My garden has long, winding walks. Bordered by stately hollyhocks;

Nasturtiums twist their spicy stems, Displaying colors rare as gems.

The goldfinch pecks the purple thistles; The redbird thrills me when he whistles.

My garden is a lovely place. With dewy ferns and cob'\\'eb lace.

22 Alumnae Magazine Alumnae Tribute to Dr. Jarman

The passing of a great and good man always brings wide-spread regret; but rarely does such a man go, leaving behind him so many hearts saddened by a deep, personal grief, as was true when Dr. Jarman closed his earthly career last November. Business and professional groups have expressed sorrow at his passing, and have spoken and written in high praise of him as an educator and as a citizen.

To My BrotKer, a Navy Pilot

I stand in awe of what I saw today

I stood upon the earth and watched your flight.

In solitude I saw you wing your way

Into the sky and vanish from my sight.

You left the earth and drifted in the air

Like some great bird that soars into the blue

And finds a lonely place, and hovers there

Above the realm of eagle wings you flew.

God lifts you up to Him on silver wings

As you take flight and from this earth depart

Like a melody upon the hush of spring

That floats its way into my very heart.

I saw you wing your way into the sky

And knew God led you as you soared on high.
