The oral history interview with Virginia White Nock provides insights into her life, focusing on her experiences at Washington College, marriage, family, and reflections on World War II. Born in 1920, Virginia recalls her time at the small college, highlighting aspects like sororities, campus activities, and the supportive community. Despite the looming threat of World War II, Virginia and her husband settled in Pittsburgh, where they contributed to the war effort through activities like Victory Gardens. Maintaining ties with Washington College through alumni magazines and scholarships, Virginia later pursued substitute teaching before cherishing her alma mater through reunions and scholarships.
