Tuesday, May 8, 1945, Makes Important Date In History
The Rotunda
(An Editorial)
Tuesday, May 8, 1945. marks one of the most important dates in the history of the world. After five years, eight VOLUME XXIV months, and four days of continuous fighting in Europe, the official end of the war was proclaimed; however, not all guns were silenced as battles in Czechoslovakia continued to rage. Once again the flag of freedom flies over the wartorn countries of the West. Throughout the ntaion yesterday and last night, groups of men and women, boys and girls assembled in churches to give thanks to Almighty God for the victory which had been won. As V-E Day meetings were held, people paid tribute, both verbally and silently to the men who have fought on the battle fields in Europe and to those who are continuing to fight in the Pacific.

Russian Winter Adds Final Touch To STC-ers May Day By MARGARET WILSON
Yes sir, even the gooey weather had its advantages That Russian winter added the finishing touch to 8. T.

Much groaning, stitching, and pulling tf hair went into the making, but 'pardon our blush's* n was worth it! And, besides, it really was fun. Did you ever do a May dance in January—and like It?

able leadership on the part of the committee headed by Dora Walker Jones. The hours of planning and hard work came to an end on Saturday as the Russian festival was presented to hundreds of students, parents and friends. To Miss Kauzlarich better known on the campus as "Miss Kay", we of the student body wish to express our gratitude for the time which she so willingly gave in directing this yeai's program. Then to the entire committee, Dora Walker Jones, chairman; Fiances Lee, assistant chairman; Catherine Trower, business manager; Betty Ellis, dance; Connie Ozlin, music; Carol Diggs, staging; Margaret Orange, transportation; and Lucy Manson Sharpe, costumes; we just want to say "thank you, it was lovely." Realizing the scarcity of materials and after inquiring as to how the costumes were possible, we found that old sheets were dyed and other articles prepared in the same way under the direction of Lucy Manson Sharpe. Hers was a tremendous task and one of which we were very much aware as we noticed the Russian costumes from the Czar to the humble, ignorant peasant. This May Day program would not have been complete without the art work done by Miss Bedford's classes. The Russian characters painted on the ladies' skirts added much to the meaning of that part of the program. We have just selected the people who were influential in planning and carrying ou the May Day plans; however,' we are conscious of the fact that it could not have been possible without the cooperation and participation of many of the students. In closing, may we say that it was a lovely celebration which many of you helped to make possible through your interest, cooperation, and support.
"The War Bond is at once the symbol of our gratitude and the weapon of our worthiness," Dr. Francis P. Gaines, presid.iil of Washington and Lee University, has said. Our gratitude and our worthiness will Boon begin to show in the Seventh War Loan Drive. The drive begins May 14 and continues through June 30. However, colleges may count April sales on their drive objectives. Americans, students, bankers, carpenters, as individuals are taking on their biggest quota to date, seven million dollars, four million in "E" bonds alone. The Treasury must raise in two drives in 1945 almost as much as it raised in three drives in 1944. You may be asking. "Why is this such a big quota? Haven't we already reached the peak?" The answer is "The money is still needed for war." The Allied Military Command has said that the war to crush Japan will be bigger, tougher, and larger than most Americans expect. We may think it's almost over, but "G. I. Joe" in a foxhole in the Pacific theater of war knows the Jap, and knows that the Jap fights to the death. To defeat Japan will take time, heroic effort, overpowering equipment, millions of men and tons of supplies to be sent in the new ships now being built* More of everything will be needed, more planes, ships, guns, tanks and jeeps, more supplies to crush our foe faster, in order that the boy next door or the kid brother may come home sooner. "And, lest we forget," the sick, wounded, and disabled will require medical attention and care. Millions of dollars will be required to help our veterans get started again in civilian life. To raise the vast sum needed every American will have to dig deeper into his pocket. We must do our part for our own By Mildred At lice sake, for our country's. Save for our country, save for yourself. In helping our country, we are also helping ourselves. When the final peace comes, we will need money for education, replacements, for all the little things we've given up for the war. There isn't a better or a safer road to take to reach these dreams than the one entitled At nine o'clock" Tuesday morning, May United States Savings Bonds. Take your 8, President Harry S.

In the Pacific the Australians initiated an invasion of the island of Borneo. The Marines and the infantrymen are still slowly but surely conquering the Japanese on Okinawa. The Japanese are reported to be quite upset over the German surrender. This is easy to understand since all Americans already know that the war will not be at an end with the conquest of Germany, but only a doubling of the effort which will all be concentrated on the total defeat of the Japanese. Past events confirm the fact that the task of solving problems when a group, a nation, or the world journeys along an unused road is immense and unromantic. The San Francisco Conference has such a gigantic task now, and requires the utmost patience from all Americans. Without popular support the conference would fail in this task ' ven if it were composed of the greatest men in the world, but with it, it will succeed. This week the United States exerted enough influence to give Argentina a seat The week ended with five important nations attempting to find a solution for the trusteeship of islands and possessions. The Polish problem was summarily dropped after Russia's announcement of the arrest of sixteen Polish democrats.
HEARD AFTER
BEDCHECK Not since last years May Day has there been so much excitement on campus. May Day, with unpredictable "ole man weather" lurking behind a black cloud nearly turned more than one head grey. However good fortune smiled upon us and May Day was all anyone could have hoped for. Orchids go to our very lovely queen, Betsy Caldwell. and her gracious court. Not to overlook all the Kills who lent their grace and charm to the dances. A few more orchids to Miss Kay and Dody for their tireless efforts. It was a superb presentation! Goodness! Such gabbing as followed the dance. Keeping each ear glued to a different keyhole is rather tiring! Even though Bobby can't be here his gardenias continue to arrive. You're pretty lucky, Elsie!

By MARGARET WILSON
At first your heart's putting anything a P-47 could do to .shame, because just the knowledge that you'll see him soon after nearly two years is enough to make any girl go into spins. After a few days this horrible, realistic thought Mushes into your slowly recuperating mind. What will I wear??? Should you wear the flattering black with the tiny peplum and the two pink roses giving just the right amount of color, or should you wear a suit and look halfway like the gal he left behind? Well, we decided on the black for his first glimpse of "how you've changed or not changed.' After all, you do want to look your best, and that smooth sheer certainly does something for your ■■finger". There'll be a dance at the Country club, too. What for that? The new pink jersey? The low V-neck, with the softly draped bodice that tapers down just I hint below your hips to fall into a million perfect, pink, slinky fold*—watch out, Lt.n You know from "way back AII n". that he likes seeing you In spoils' clothes. Hmmm. there's the good-looking checked suit, you could weai with ■ high neck white blouse, or either that drape, T-shirt you picked up last week. Rpmember the dark green gabardine he liked so well? You could add some of that plaid braiding on the front panel, the collar and cuffs, and a belt could In ■ made, too. It would add color to that tailored outfit, and he'd love it without knowing "why". There's always "Old Faithful", Hie two piece rayon gabardine affair, with the cardigan jacket and pli ah d skirt. You can change thai with some shirts, and maybe wear the light blue angora sweater with the skirt . . . O. K.? By now you're convinced you can keep yourself looking "reet" while he's here, if Mom will only li t you buy that black mesh job you saw in Saks window with the cap sleeves and "straight across" neck line . . . ummm ... is it fair to him? We think so!!! Good luck to you, and we hope the clothes look as good to him as you will!
•One opens a door, enters a room -four walls, covered on three ides with black boards—aims au.omaticaily for the first, last or .liddle row. according to the mount of studying done the night >. fore, and slides into a seat. The irocess is elemental—part of the laily routine of some nine hundred hopefuls of S. T. C. To the outdated observer the same pros is followed in entering from our to five of these classrooms per day. Each room looks reasonauiy like tne others—not awfully .m active, but on the whole not .oo bau. iney all iook alike ah rignt, but the old SiC'ers knows c.ua. 'loose rooms are loaded ,Wln personality—some positive, some negative. Lets follow ourselves through a day, and let's make it a tough one—we went to Dieakfast. Well, it's 8:20 o'clock, so lets start to our eight five classes. We grab a pencil, to write home with, leave our books on the floor, pull our roommate out of bed, ana eventually, when we cant find anything else to do, we go to ciass. Already conscious of the general nature of the room, we arrive at the door, open it boldly, make an entrance, charge through six pairs of feet to our last seat on the last row and go back to sleep. Aoout lorty minutes later we rouse ourselves, stagger out, and begin to Knock ourseives back into shape. We needed that forty minutes ot relaxation, cause this nine-five has a double barreled personality. We approach to within ten feet of the door, read that last paragraph for the fiftieth time, pause for a moment of prayer, straighten our shoulders, and enter like the wellknown lamb going to the youknow-what. We sit on the first row. put on our interested faces, and fight a losing battle with epilepsy. Hallelejah, that's over! Now this next one's our meat. It has a nice, substantial personality. We had the stuff in high school anyway, so we can always put up an intelligent front. However, the success of this approach depends largely upon the amount of "bulling" which the subject will take. Facts and figures have a way of vanishing over a period of time. Thus a small degree of review is needed, after which we find it possible to relax, and confidently await developments. Well, that's that. Afternoon brings a new variety of rooms. With a last longing glance at that beautiful gravel on the roof, we wend our way to the gym—or, maybe to the lab. There amongst basket balls and little green frogs, we conclude our survey of class room personalities. Some are fun, others work, others an interesting combination of the two—but they all have something.
ELEANOR WADE
This week the senior spotlight is turned on Eleanor Wade, president of the ciass of '45. Characterized by short, curly blond hair, •Ellie", as she is fondly called, hails from Charlottesviile, and will be found next year teaching in Fredericksburg, a thing she Keenly desires and has wanted all bar hie. A capable, efficient leader, Ellie served this year as president of tne Monogram Club and as president of Kappa, Delta Pi as well as her class. Her service and lead■ramp ability were recognized by Alpiia Kappa Gamma in her junior year. Her keen mind has made her a straight A" student, and she does aer work in a minute, neat handwriting. But she is athletically minded, too, and served as captain on the varsity basketball team this year.

Her favorite pastime is eating, and her favorite loods are chocolate ice cream and caramel cake. And she goes to the movies all the time. Among the oilier things that go to make up ner individual and well-rounded personality is the fact that she never wears a sweater without a olouse under it. She comes way down at the end of the alphabet, but she comes at the front with the students. She's tall, charming, and poised; she's possessor of a good disposition and a keen sense of humor, she's intelligent and athletic; she's a leader; she's "fiist lady" of the The Navy has announced that seniors- -she's Ellie. 2.000 more WAVES each month a iv now I1M<M tO keep pace with the acceleration of the war in the Pacific.
