Another Pounders Day has come and gone. We had more than one hundred of our alumnae hack and it goes without saying that we enjoyed having them with us.

We were fortunate in having our new dormitory completed in time for them to occupy. This is the second unit of the Senior Dormitory which houses eighty-two students. It is a beautiful hiiilcMiijr. complete in every detail and nicely furnished.

You will also be interested to know that our friends, including the Lions Club, Faculty. Administration, student Organizations, and Alumnae, have made 11 possible for us to pay off the debt on the Student Building.

We have had a number of letters from the alumnae Stating that while they could not li her.' to enjoy the occasion they were with us in spirit. Such letters are always appreciated.

I am sorry that many of you could not be with us and take part in the festivities of the occasion.

With best wishes for all of you, I am Your friend.

A member of the class of 1914. it was she who made the valedictory add'ess at the Commencement Exercises when the beautiful statue of Joan of Arc was presented to the college. Her valedicto:y was on Joan of Arc. Since her school days she has been most outstanding in civic affairs in Richmond. She has done excellent work with the United Daughters of the Confederacy ar.d the Daughters of the Revolution Chapters, Because of the fact that she has been so closely associated with Joan of Arc. the pation saint of the college and of Alpl-a Kappa Gamma, and because Alpha Knppa Gamma recaderahlp, they thought it fitting that Maria Starke should be an honorary member of the lean Circle of Alpha Kappa Gamma.

Formal Kanquet Is Held tor Alumnae On Saturday Nijrht

Development of the school annual. The Viiginian, has been steady since 1900 when the first one was punted. It was then the annul of the State Female Normal School, and the editor was A. Biuce White Danis. A very thin, but hard-back and cloth-bound book with a flag and Virginia seal on the front inclosed about one hundred and fifty pages of material ranging from pictures of a small faculty to the humor section. Besides these, there were ela.s.s put in es taken in groups, the editors, trustees, notations of recent progress at the Normal, a calendar of events.

Bachelor's Review, prize verse, news of the graduates, literary contributions of Students, periodicals found in leading room, sororities, and a few organizatoins and clubs. Pictuns of classes then were all group pictures, comparatively small and indistinct. Illustrations pi 11 eded various sections of pictuite, stones, etc. Organization of material was poor, compared with the annuals that later years have produced.

With the growth of our school from a June graduating class of approximately sixteen in 1900 to one hundred and thirty-one in June. 1938. it is easy to understand how improvement in facilities and in workable material U counted for the modernism of the later annuals. The larger a I own becomes, the more officers. clubs, and organizations it is necessary to have—so with Farmville state Teachers College as It has come to be called In recent years. There are many more groups on campus than there were formerly. The 1939 Virginian will be able to have clear, large, and
