Fire, Water
Create Chaos

Twin disasters of fire and water
descended on Agnes Scott last week
raising scalps on campus as high
as the "Constitution's" daily re-
ports of Atlanta murders.

Room 59 Rebekah became the
campus hot spot as a faulty desk
lamp caught fire Tuesday. The
next afternoon a geyser was spot-
ted at 2:15 p. m. bursting from the
sidewalk of the corner of Butterick
near Presser which cut off the cold
water supply.

The faithful who kept the vigil
during the long night until the
water spurted out at 11:30 were
rewarded with a shower and clean
teeth. The rest had to join' the mad
dash at dawn, or endure scalding.

Mr. Rogers, assistant business
manager-treasurer, reported that
the leak was caused by a fault
in the pipe which was .an old one
laid in 1930. The next day another
leak was discovered but quickly
repaired. The county did not come
to fix the leak until 4:45.

Without Bob Blair's one wo-
man fire fighting brigade her room
might have been the match in the
woodpile for Rebekah. Nancy Wil-
kinson sounded the alarm about
7 p. m. and Bob swung into action
to smother flames rising two feet
high, eye witness Ann Sheppard
reported.

Nancy reappeared with a coffee
pot full of water just as Bob hasti-
ly pulled a blanket from the bed
and 'enveloped the fire. Ann Shep-
herd added her bit by throwing the
light switch. All the cords and ex-
tensions were flaming even though
the lamps had been out.

'47 Registration
Sees Increase
n Boarders

Registration figures at Agnes
Scott hit 542 for the 1947-1948
session, with more boarders en-
rolled than ever before and the
largest freshman class since 19^3.

Of the number registered, 191
are new students. Freshmen num-
ber 168, 23 more than last year's
freshmen class and the most frosh
the college has had since 1943
when there were 185.

Tw r enty of the remaining new
Agnes Scotters are students with
advanced standing. Two from Nor-
way and Poland, are classified as
special students with advanced
standing due to language difficul-
ties, and one new student from
England is classified as a fresh-
man special.

The ranks of the boarders have
swelled this year to a new all-
time high of 360. The maximum
in former years was 350.

The fact that there are fewer
day students this year makes the
total registration figure 542, a
normal one for Agnes Scott. The
total in 1946 was 534; in 1945,
542: and in 1944, 540.

Baker Unanimous Choice
For News Assistant Editor

Betsy Baker, junior, was unan-
imously elected assistant editor of
the Agnes Soctt News at a stu-
dent meeting Monday.

Betsy replaces Rita Adams,
former assistant editor, who trans-
ferred to the University of North
Carolina this year. A former high
school newspaper editor, Betsy has
served for two years as a reporter
on the News.

SG Leads Week of Programs
Emphasizing Honor System

Student government is making
this week, one of the most im-
portant of the year in dedicating
it to Agnes Scott's honor system.

Under a committee of Hunt
Morris, chairman, Tina Hewson,
Nancy Deal, and Dot Quillian,
campus-wide dormitory discuss-
ions on each wing were held Tues-
day night and two panels at cha-
pel Wednesday provided discuss-
ion for the old and the new day
students. Thursday is, without
definite plans, left for real con-
sideration of "You and the Honor
System".

In chapel Friday the entire stu-
dent body will participate in a
the men. pledge ceremony, the new stu-

Dean Hudson and his orchestra dents taking the Student govern-

w ill play for the dance which will
follow the program of fashions.

ment pledge and the old students
saying theirs as a renewal.

The front rows in chapel Friday
will be reserved for the new stu-
dents to sit as a body. Behind them
will be the old students who will
stand and say the pledge after
preliminary comments by Sister
Davis. The new students will then
stand, take the pledge for the
first time, and come to the tables
down front , one row at a time to
sign a pledge card, taking one with
them. When all new students are
again seated, the chapel will be
concluded with the Alma Mater.
Chapel that day will begin at 10:25
a. m.

In the wing meetings Tuesday
night the discussion centered
around the Honor System as an
active and positive standard for
campus living and as the only real

PRESIDENTS GREET FROSH Dr. McCain, president of
A. S. C. and Sister Davis, president of Student government,
receive freshmen and their sponsors at the faculty re-
ception.

Freshman Spiro, Soph Reinartz
Lead Classes in '47 Cat Fight

Cissie Spiro's and Gretchen Reinartz's election Friday as
Black Cat Stunt chairmen touches off two weeks of fur-
ious activity before the classic struggle Oct. 11.

Gretch who is leading the sophs, and frosh Cissie have
lined up their class talents to see who'll ring the plaster
kitty's bell.

Gretch is making two innova-
tions in committee organization; a
production manager, Jane Shar-
key, and the combination of day
student and boarder as co-chair-
men of committees.

Polly Harris and Dot Medlock
will spark the stunt's writing with
Frances Howerton, Helen Edwards
and Ann Sartain as assistants.

Pulling behind scenes are Bar-
bara Lawson and Barbara Lanier
handling decorations. Mary Ann
Hatchel and Robin Robinson are
directing costuming while Sarah
Hancock and Mildred Flournoy
will plan sets. Song chairmen Sara
Jane Campbell and Norah Anne
Little will cooperate with Polly
Anna Pnilips at the piano.

Out front leading sophomore
cheers will be Donnie King, Jo Mc-
Call and Charlotte Bartlett.

Margaret Glenn and Mary Lou-
ise Warlick are props chairmen
and Carolyn Garrison will direct
mimeographing.

Frosh talent includes song chair-
man Mary Louise Mattison and
her committee of Dot Jennings,

Wave, '47 Alumna Join
Faculty, Dean's Office

Two members added to the
teaching and administration stalls
since the publication of the Agnes
Scott College Bulletin are Miss
Mary Johnson, assistant in French,
and Miss Marie Adams, assistant
to the dean.

Miss Johnson, an Agnes Scott
alumna, served in the WAVES
during the war. At present she
is living on campus and teaching
at Napsonian school as well as
at Agnes Scott.

Miss Adams was graduated
from Agnes Scott last year. In
addition to her work in the dean's
office, she is house mother of
Rebekah Scott dormitory.

June Harris, Carolyn Lee, Barbara
Caldwell, Ann Miller, Sally Jack-
son, and Wilton Rice.

Leading the freshmen cheers
will be Louise Hertwig and Jo Aim
Cobb.

Cissie, who hails from New York
city, explained that she came south
because her parents thought it
would be good for her to exper-
ience a complete change. At Hun-
ter College's experimental high
school she was director of all
school plays her senior year and
chairman of all clubs directing
and coordinating their activities.

When you ask her interests, "al-
ways dramatics and debating" she
returns. "Everyone is wonderful:
here" she said and she is "so afraid'
she's going to wake up and find
out something's wrong."

Gretch attended six different-
high schools although Red Bank,
New Jersey, is home. She has al-
ways written and worked on school
newspapers. Last year her team-
mates selected her hockey mana-
ger. Serving on Black Cat writing
committee and directing frosh for
Junior banquet were only a few
of her activities.

With nothing but mystery and
business in the air around both
elapses it is a toss-up as to who
will capture the kitty.

AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE, WED. OCTOBER 1, 1947

Merry-go-Round

By Mildred Claire Jones

Vacation? Seems that it has been over for years 'cause the
rush of studies and week-ends is upon us again. Starting
the new year right were Polly Miles, Beverly Gordy, Zollie
Saxon, and Sidney Cummings at the Tech KA house. Since
rush weeks at Emory and Tech started as soon as we arrived,
sorce of our number had gay times

early in the year. Among them
were Clarkie Rogers, Ginny Henry,
Harriet Gregory, Betzie Powers,
Maxine Kickliter, Nancy Dendy,
Spfrnter Board, Mary Hayes Bar-
ber. X)ot Porter, Flo Bryant, Myr-
tice Manani and Johanna Wood
at the Phi Gamma Delta house.

Proof that "out of sight out of
mind" does not apply to Scott girls
are Willa Wagner, Charlsie Smith,
. Ann Carol Blanton, Robbie Robe-
son, Susan Pope, Lynn Phillips,
and Virginia Henry who went to
the Tech-Tennessee game. So did
Virginia Skinner, Betty Wood,
T^ancy Deal, Hunt Morris, Barbara
QuaLtlebaum, Mary Beth Little
Clarkie Rogers, Dottie Morrison,
and Mary Jo Ammons.

Celebrate Tech Victory
Seen later at the dance were
Gene Wilson, Ruthie Grimes, Nan
Ford, Dot Floyd, Charlotte Bart-
lett, Suzanne Wilson, Pagie Vio-
lent*, Mary Manly, Annelle Simp-
son, Myrt Marian, and Lyd Gard-
ner. The dance would have been
incomplete without the personali-
ties of Jessie Carpenter, Charlotte
Evans, Margie Major, Floss Han-
son Johanna Wood, Ann Green,
Miriam Mitchell, Suzanne Wilson,
Hunt Morris, and Beryl Crews.

Tilly Alexander, Lucy Mohr,
Ann Faucette, Susan Gauger, Dot
Porter, Nancy Parks, Nancy Huey,
Virginia Vining, Barbara Lawson,
Sarah Tucker and Ann Sartain
joined those popular day students
Betty Cole, Sarah Hancock, Dot
Medlock, Mary Carolyn Schwab,
Maybe Burchfield, Margaret Glenn
and Janet Quinn for the game and
dance. The class of '48 welcomed
Van Orr, and old classmate who
was here for the game!

And don't think the freshmen
didn't know oodles of football fans.
Doris Maritzky, Barbara Hytken,
Luly Hunt, and M. C. Lindsey at-
tended the game, while Anne Er-
win, Dean Morris, and Genny Fed-
deman went to the dance.

M

Rush for Tech

Attracting a large number of
beauties was the Phi Kappa Sig
house, where Jo Ann Cobb, Julie
Morgan, Gene Wilson, Ruthie
Grimes, Anne Kincaid, Betty Wil-
liams, Ann Green, Twig Hertwig,
Monna Lea Morrell, and Louise
Tavel danced. Other gay spots at
Tech were the Phi Delta Theta
house, where Sarah Tucker, Jean
Oshorn, Bptty Asbill, Mary Ann
Zeigler, and Monna Lea Morrell
were seen, and the ATO where
Dot Floyd, Charlotte Evans, Mar-
gie Major, Barbara Stainton went.

For fascinating accounts of the

Theta Chi party, ask Jo McCall,
Sally Thompson, and Caolyn Wells,
or if you prefer Beta Theta Pi,
ask Grace Durant and Pinny Rog-
ers. The two outstanding girls at
the Biltmore Empire Room were
Isabel Truslow and Terrell War-
burton while Barbara Lawson
made a big hit at the Delta Tau
Delta house.

Entertained at Emory

Meanwhile the Emory boys were
doing quite a bit of entertaining
too. Barbara Stainton, Mary Lou
Hatfield, Nancy Brown, Carolyn
Critchlow, Olta Lee Patch, Sara
Samonds, Floss Hanson, Miriam
Mitchell, Jessie Carpenter, Sarah
Tucker Ann Sartain, Charlotte
Bartlett, Dean Morris, and Nan
Ford enjoyed an SAE party. The
Emory Square Dance was lots of
fun, say Becky Bowman, Mary
Lou Campbell, Martha Weekly
Betty Rawls, and Sara McKee.

The Emory PiKAs were wonder-
ful hosts to Nancy Dendy, Ginny
Feddeman, Jo Heinz, Ric Ram-
seur,* Leila Walker, Dot Morrison,
Nancy Huey, and Winnie Lam-
bert. Not interested in fraternity
functions in face of the South-
eastern Fair were El Bear, Splin-
ter Board, Lee Cousar, Marie
Cuthbertson, Kate Elmore, Lorton
Lee and Ric Ramseur.

Play Hostess

Among the visitors seen around
campus over the weekend were
Virginia Skinner's brother from
Jacksonville, Fla.; Ric Ramseur's
brother, Jo Heinz's family, Nancy
Huey's C. V. from Tennessee, Mor-
ris Ferrel from Virginia to see
Hunt Morris, and Ellen Tatum and
Gus Kipp from La Grange, Geor-
gia.

Not all the excitment was on
campus. Betty McClain went to
Tate, Ga.; Rebecca Lever to Win-
der; Susan Bawling and Betty
Davison to Opelika, Ala. ; and Marg

unt and Mimi Arnold to Grif-
1 in, Ga.

Have you noticed all the pins
and rings this year! Norah Ann
Little and Pat Asbury have Beta
pins, Joan Lawrence has a KA pin,
and Carolyn Wells has a Pi Kap-
pa Phi pin and ring. Jane Barker,

now the big question, who'll be

Why head this the Merry-Go-

Aren't all Agnes Scott girls both

merry and gay?
And where will you find more girls

who go-round
To parties, on visits, back home. I

have found
That Agnes Scott students really

live in a whirl.
Every day, every week, there is

some special girl
Who wears a bright diamond or

is pinned to "Her Man".
So won't you contribute as much

By Mary Beth Little

Shades of gilt bird cages and
two seater bikes! There's a new
look on campus that makes wrecks
ramble over for a second look and
Emory boys amble by for a double
take. Grandpa, perhaps wouldn't
have been so startled.

Envious upperclassmen in their
short skirts and ancient sloppys
some with haggard, these-years,
no-sleep eyes see button-pert frosh
in swish ankle sweep skirts and
white blouses sparked by ribbons,
scarves, and smart round pins. Clad
in hooded coats that barely miss
scraping the local onion crop our
little newcomers promenade them-
selves and their pyramid silhou-
ettes to and from class. Upper-
classmen resort to draping blan-
kets for that covered-up look.
Bow Tie Zodiac

The number of bowties might
have suggested a Frankie-boy fan
club last year but now it's just
a sign of the style zodiac. The va-
rieties are striking, and occasion-
ally indicative of the personality
behind it. There's the southern
senator string, the hangman's
noose, the handlebar, the long-
horn, the nosegay, and the Byron-
esque cassade. Starchier ribbons
run in the catswhiskers type, the
swandive, the kid party, the size-
mograph banner, the highland
fling, and the prize package.

Scarves have come in for their
own too. Some plunge over the
shoulder in a suicidal flourish;
some peek coyly between button

holes; some river lazily around
hat crowns. Scarf classifications
might run: frozen in a wind storm;
drouth strikes the Niagara; bun-
ny ears meloncholy; laryngitus
sure-cure; "people can lose their
heads you know!"

Frosh are flush with bows and
beauxs, upperclassmen strangle be-
fore their mirrors, hopefully.

Every Day is Easter

Saturday night is the loneliest
night in the week for the dorm
mice this year. Seniors in frosh
abodes bid goodbye (smiling
through their tears) to the stam-
peding young ladies in velvet and
satin, slim limbed in black or smoke
hose, shod in toe-in heel-in spikes.
Following fashion prescription en
masse, their every-day-is-Easter
parade saves hours of magazine
reading, so right they are in their
charcoal and Picasso grays, their
Venetian reds, their spruce greens,
and of course the shadow-black
of that night of nights (most any
Sat'dy p. m.j that is.)

In all seriousness, however,
there is .a new look, and it's good
young lady clothes encourage
young lady manners (even if the
skirts do throw you if you don't
mince to the hobble; even if you
do stumble blind, a windy scarf
dance before your eyes). The true
keynotes seem to be fashion spin-
ach aside for keeps this time
originality tempered by taste, and
exquisite neatness.

neau of the language depart-
ment; Mr. H. C. Forman from the
art department; Miss Mary Stu-
art MacDougall of the biology de-
partment and Mr. Walter B. Posey
of the department of history.

Mr. Forman, choosing work in
the creative line, traveled through
New England and Quebec, paint-
ing water color scenes in that vi-
cinity. He also visited the Gaspe
opposite Newfoundland and Nan-
tucket.

Miss Laney, associate profes-
sor of English, studied at the
Huntington Library in Pasadena,
California, selecting as her re-
search subject Naturalism in the
poetry of the California poet,
Robinson Jeffers. Miss Trotter al-
so did research in English, spend-
ing part of her time at Harvard
in the Washington-Folger Shake-
speare Library. She studied the
currency of the Italian books in
England at the time of Shake-
speare. The remainder of her sum-
mer was spent teaching at Ohio
University where she continued
her studies. The third member of
the English department to receive
a grant was Miss Leyburn, who
studied at Yale University the gen-
eral topics of Satire and Allegory.

Miss MacDougall, head of the
biology department, continued
her extensive investigation on the
malarial parasite, her work being
carried on at the Marine Biologi-
cal Laboratory at Woods Hole,
Mass.

Miss Barineau of the language
department, did her research in
Paris, preparing a critical edition
of Victor Hugo's Les Orientales.
She worked at the National Li-
brary and Victor Hugo Museum,
where a great number of manu-
scripts and early editions of Hugo
are to be found.

Mr. Posey spent 12 weeks this
summer in various parts of the
east and midwest studying the
Presbyterian church in the old
southwest. He spent three weeks
in Montreat, N. C. on material in
the southern Presbyterian church's
historical foundation.

A Quick Look
Into Lyons Den

"Meet Miss Margery Lyons,
She's Barnes", was the way Mrs.
Lapp introduced me to Miss Lyons.
It was easy to deduct from this
that I had met the new instructor
in physical education. Miss Lyons
besides being a very pretty blonde
has a nice smile and a very pleas-
ant speaking voice.

Penn State college is her alma
mater where she majored in phy-
sical education because she likes
sports. Could there be a better rea-
son? She came to Agnes Scott
from Savannah where she has
been associated with the YWCA
for the last year and a half.

Swimming is her favorite sport
and swimming is what she is teach-
ing here this quarter. She has
tested all of the new students
and expects to classify all swim-
mers according to ' Red Cross
standards. Other sports that Miss
Lyons enjoys are canoeing, golf,
and badminton.

Aside from sports she is inter-
ested in art, music, and reading.
Miss Lyons is a real addition to
our Physical Education Depart-
ment. She lives in Sturges where
she has her own private fireplace.
She suggests to come on down to
the Lyons den and sit in front of
it with her. I don't know if this
was a campus wide invitation or
not but she is very anxious to meet
every one.

A. A. "Plan-It" Maps Out
Fall Program and Parties

A. A. Plan-It, in the past years designated as the A. A. Re-
treat, met Sept. 13 at the home of Julianne Cook in Atlanta
to outline Athletic association's program for '47-'48. Present
were the A. A. Board and faculty advisers, Miss Llewellyn
Wilburn, Mrs. Harriet Haynes Lapp, and Miss Margery
Lyons. .

Tennis Meet
Slated for Sat.

First on the agenda was a ham-
burger supper in the Cook's back-
yard after which the group set-
tled down for serious thinking and
planning. Results of this meeting
include both tentative and definite
plans as to projects and parties.

Frosh Party Set

Oct. 4 was selected as the date
for the progressive sports party
honoring the freshmen. The pro-
gram will include exhibition
games, a sports open house, a sup-
per, a fireside sing at Harrison
Hut, and a skit introducing the
Board members. The whole stu-
dent body will be given a party
on Nov. 1.

If sufficient interest is shown,
officiating clubs will be organized
for training qualified hockey,
swimming, and basketball refer-
rees. Only girls who have played
the sport of their choice at least
one year will be eligible for mem-
bership. There will be study meet-
ings, opportunities for practical
experience, and final official ex-
aminations.

News Letter Slated

This year the Agnes Scott Ath-
letic Board will publish the Geor-
gia Athletic Federation of Col-
lege Women News letter. The let-
ter, the first of which will be
mimeographed during fall quarter,
will contain news as to what col-
lege women are doing along sports
and recreational lines and also in-
formation about G. A. F. C. W.
conference.

In February A. A. will sponsor
the Red Cross drive on campus.

The Board will inquire among
students as to interest in an active
golf club this fall, and, if the re-
sults are favorable, a club will be
formed with Jane Sharkey replac-
ing Jean Fraser Duke as manager.

A. A.'s welcome gift to the fresh-
men this year were white blot-
ters with "Welcome Class of '51"
inscribed in large purple letters.
Day students are reminded to pick
up theirs on the side counter in
the book room.

IT'S A WONDERI-TL LIFE"

Agnes Scott's '47-'48 tennis sea-

round of the tennis doubles tourna-
ment. Thus far, 14 couples have
signed up to participate. The ten-
tative final play-off has been slat-
ed for Oct. 18, two weeks after
the opening.

Along the line of tournaments,
the tennis club has some new
plans. "The club hopes this year'
to meet Columbia Seminary in a
tournament," says Sally Ellis, pre-
sident.

It also has some new plans in
membership rules. New rules are
as follows: (1) members are re-
quired to play in all tennis tourna-
ments, and (2) members must
play tennis a minimum of 15 hours
each quarter. There will be no try-
outs for tennis club until spring
quarter.

School Wins Two
Blue Horse Bikes

Athletic association through the
collection of Blue Horse wrappers
last year has added two new bikes
to its fast growing collection. Ap-
proximately seven thousand Blue
Horses were collected last year.
Along with the two new bikes the
association also won a $25 cash
prize for being the school to turn
in the largest collection of Blue
Horse wrappers.

A. A. has now accumulated a
total of five bikes to be used by
the college community. A new sys-
tem of signing for the bicycles,
stating time of leaving and time of
expected return, is being tried out
this year in hopes that it will make
the bikes more accessible.

Board members again this year
will collect Blue Horse wrappers
from each floor of the dorms and
cottages once a week. Val von
Lehe, board member in charge of
the drive, asked that we save our
wrappers again this year to add
more bikes to our growing collect-
ion.

versaries, birthdays, etc., see our line ol

Twelve Students
In Emory Classes

Registration of Agnes Scott stu-
dents of Emory classes number
12 for the fall quarter. Nine re-

began work on the Emory campus
Sept. 23.

The 1947 registration is an in-
crease of only one over last year
when nine regular students and
two specials attended.

Agnes Scott and Emory have
worked out this system in order
that A. S. C. and Emory students
can have the advantage of class-
es not offered on the individual

Lights Burn: We Don't

Signs of the times apply to campus as well as nation and
progress either place is the order of the day. Progress makes
its own reward. Agnes Scott's changes for the better are
already paying dividends.

No longer will we strain our eyes in the reserve room and
have our glasses changed once a quarter. Campus bright
lights can utilize their glow for other activities now that
the library provides its own. Reserve room blues are over and
just look at the crowds.

Speaking of bright lights we may be prettier by firelight
but we're happier when the fire is under control. New fire
drill regulations plus a check up of fire fighting equipment
will provide better fire insurance for each of us.

The News commented on both these issues last year. We
would like to say congratulations.

Spirit Style '51

They have it, what ever it is.

Anyone with an eye could see that they did the first
few days of registration. And if there is any doubt left in
anyone's mind it must be squelched upon his noting the
way in which they are responding to the Black Cat idea.

The class of '51 has the new look, but over and above that,
they have a new something else, harder to name.

Call it by the corny names spirit, pep, enthusiasm but its
in their own special brand. We'd like to call it the new Agnes
Scott that they have brought with them to add to the Agnes
Scott we had last year.

So far we like their version.

Honor In The Open

Weeks with names can be pretty sad when it comes to ac-
complishing their purpose, and, generally speaking, they
come too close together.

Honor System week with its purpose of explaining honor
a la Agnes Scott to new students before they sign the pledge,
is one of the few set-aside weeks which seems to justify
its existence. Without discussion for clarification, signing
the pledge is like signing a contract without reading it.

It is not a bad idea to bring it all back to those of us who
signed it several years ago either.

The climax of this Honor System week, signing and re-
newing pledges in chapel, comes as welcome relief from
the old pledge-signing atmosphere of black-robed figures
and awed freshmen.

We like our honor system out in the open.

Students Air
Varied Views
On No-Cuts

Amid a few doubts and tears
the old "cut" system has been
carefully laid to rest in that haven
for all abolished rules, and a new-
system of voluntary class attend-
ence has taken its place.

Whether the student body as
a whole welcomes the annhilation
of the cut and is willing to elimi-
nate this well-worn phrase from its
vocabulary is what the News has
endeavored to discover by a re-
presentative campus poll.

The resulting evidence shows
that most Agnes Scotters are
among the well-wishers for the
new system, a few are on the
fence, and a smaller minority are
anti-voluntary attendance. Out of
30 students interviewed 18 were in
favor of voluntary attendence, 8
approved of the system with cer-
tain reservations, and 4 were
against it completely.

The prevading opinion is that
the new system is a mature sys-
tem placing the responsibility on
the student. Agnes Scott students
are willing to accept it. As one
senior remarked, "I like to be able
to use my own discretion. It gives
me a totally different attitude to-
ward my work", or as a sopho-
more put it, "It makes me feel
that I have a mind of my own .and
gives me a chance to do what I
think best."

The opinion that it is an im-
provement was expressed by most
of the 18, and one senior believes
that "it will eliminate unnecess-
ary cuts but still will allow enough
elasticity for the individual's
needs."

The few who are against the
new system feel "it is using child
psychology on us. Professors will
hold it against us when we are
absent and they think we will
therefore be afraid to be absent."
One sophomore remarked sadly,
"I'm going to miss sit-in cuts."

Others like the system in the-
ory because it puts the responsi-
bly on the student but are doubt-
ful.

ful of how it will work in ordinary
practice. One junior expressed that
"It will be fine if the faculty does
not take advantage of it."

Most of these skeptics, however,
are of the same mind of the sen-
ior who stated non-committally,
"We'll try it a while. Then if we
don't like it we'll kick."

New Prof Calder Puts Stars
In A.S. Students' Eyes

By JANE ALSOBROOK

Agnes Scott has stars in her future! That is, if Dr. W. A.
Calder, new professor of physics and astronomy, has his way.
With plans for an Atlanta observatory, a faculty-alumnae
club in astronomy, and star-gazing for all interested students
once a month, his is a very busy man.

Dr. Calder comes to us with a

fascinating crew-cut, Harvard! _

schooling, and a little nostalgia for ; ^^MB V MMOO
the skiing and skating of his Wis- I Ml w

consin birth-place. He also brings Scene in the library: freshman
a winning sense of humour and al going down to the reserye read _
lively interest in people.

During the war, Dr. Calder was
conducting some still very secret
research for the government in
"educated" torpedoes. He also took
some experimental trips on Fly-
ing Fortresses, much to the de-
light of his son, Cappy.

After only one month, Dr. Cal-
der finds that he likes Decatur
and has fallen in love with Agnes
Scott. His son, 13-year old Cappy,
seems to have made himself at
home here, for he is now Mrs.
Lapp's assistant in charge of cur-
rying the horses. He has a willing
helper in his sister, Frances, who
is a pert young lady with a strong
ambition to be a rider.

With Cappy and Frances the
Dr. and his charming wife live at
230 McDonough St.

And if, by the way, you. see a
crowd on the hockey field some
Tuesday night soon, come and join
Dr. Calder's astronomy class. I
guarantee that you will leave with
stars in your eyes.

Traffic Rules Announced

A system of warnings and pen-
alties lor parking violations has
put teeth in campus traffic reg-
ulations, J. R. Tart, business
manager - treasurer, explained
yesterday.

The Administration has worked
out this new system to avoid the
traffic jams of past years.
Trucking companies had even
threatened to drop deliveries un-
less some parking space was re-
served for them. Moreover ac-
cidents and damages to student
cars had resulted.

Under the new system yellow
spaces must be left open and
parking is on one side of the
driveways. Failure to comply
will result in a warning. On the
second offense cars will be bar-
red f rom campus parking. These
regulations apply to the kitchen
parking lot as well.

Boyd inmates, with much sad-
ness, are preparing a funeral ser-
vice for Gretel, beloved teddy
bear who, in the process of being:
bathed, absorbed all the water in
the tub, and came out weighing
close to 50 lbs. In spite of the com-
bined efforts of sunshine, radia-
tors, and hairdryers, Gretel has
proceeded to mildew inwardly.

partment : Frosh sympathetically

couragement from an elderly
gentleman she met soon after ar-
riving. Said the gentleman, after
learning that Kate attended Ag-
nes Scott: "Don't worry, my dear.
You'll soon get use to your new
surroundings."

Cunningham Cottage Becomes Castle;
Creatful Cals Clow In Clamour Manor

By Easy BeaJe
"Glamour manor, to whom
would you like to speak?" So
chime the telephone salutations
in the new campus cottage, Cun-
ningham castle.

And indeed it is glamorous. It
includes all the superlatives the
best furniture, the biggest closets,
and the loudest wallpaper. Also,
there is a sun porch, a two-car
garage (which, incidentally, is
used for trunk storage) and a
screened front porch.

Cunningham boasts both the
advantages of a private residence
and of a college dorm. Its disting-
uishing marks as a dorm are two
50.000 watt searchlights at the
entrances.

But. in yie day, it passes for
177 South Candler. Several peo-
ple have dropped by to visit only
to find the Rogers don't live here
anymore, and the mailman con-
tinually delivers impressive-look-
ing business envelopes.

Day by day, the inhabitants of
this house discover new wonders.
Last week when the campus cold
water was cut off Cunningham
inmates were not victims. The un-
fortunate people from the other
dorms formed lines to the left
and right for tooth-brushing and
the water cooler.

The Cunningham queens (hav-
ing been treated so royally) are
well-chaperoned. Their senior res-
ident is Mrs. Sanders, who is the

new assistant dietician. The oth-
er residents remember well which
side their bread is buttered on.
Next-door-neighbor Mr. Tart has
promised not to hang around the
house before eight in the morn-
ing, if the cottagers promise to
lower their voices and radios by
ten at night.

There's no fear of illness in
Cunningham either, because the
slightest sneeze resounds 'cross
the street to the infirmary.

To the 350 unlucky boarders,
the residents of this model man-
sion offer a consolation: with a
little fixing up, the two base-
ment rooms would make a fashion-
able duplex. Will rent to the high-

News, Wheel Stage
Fall Fashionaire Fri.

A panorama of fall and winter fashions as Agnes Scott
girls and Emory boys pick them and wear them is slated for
8:15 p. m. Friday in the Cafeteria building at Emory.

The fashionaire, sponsored jointly by the News and The
Wheel, will feature clothing presented by J. P. Allen, Zachry,
and Muse.

Modeling with 20 dapper men
from Emory will be nine girls from
the Agnes Scott campus. Nancy
Deal, June Irvine, Mary Mohr,
Mim Steele, Val von Lehe, Beryl
Crews, Casey Chance, Cama
Clarkson and Sara Jane Campbell
will give the show the feminine
touch.

They will appear in clothes vary-
ing in their degree of formality
from snappy classroom stuff to
swishy, dance-of-the-year mater-
ial.

After enlightenment as to fash-
ions, the Emory Independents,
Emory Student council, and The
Wheel are sponsoring a dance.
Dean Hudson's orchestra will play
for this second half of the pro-
gram which will last from 10 p. m.
to 1 a. m.

posted.

FultonPicfures
Chinese Strife

"Actually growing in some in-
stances, the Chinese church has
come through the war in a won-
derful way," declared Dr. C. Darby
Fulton in chapel Thursday.

Torn by political and financial
strife, China faces a .dark future
filled with strife and difficulty,
Dr. Fulton, recently returned from
an investigation of Presbyterian
missions, remarked.

In the financial realm, he ex-
plained, one American dollar will
purchase 6600 Chinese ones.. In
politics, the Nationalist party,
which Dr. Fulton said he believes
to be fundamentally right, is ha-
rassed at every turn by the Com-
munists.

He pointed out that now as
never before China needs the help
that Christianity can bring her.
Yet, he continued, we can only
support 60 missionaries there,
where we once supported 200. Dr.
Fulton issued a challenge to all
young people to face the situation

Fur continues to fly as preparations for the annual Black Cat fray approach a climax.
Until the deciding battle Saturday at 8 p. m., the freshmen and sophomores are keeping
traditional silence concerning contest plans.

The sophomores, although reluctant to reveal secret information to any possible spys
outside their class, announced the cast for the skit. It includes Pat DeFord, Patty Hampton,

Harriot McGuire, Phyllis Narmore. Dot Davis, Emily Pope,,
Sally Thompson, Betty Cole, Isabel Truslow, Jessie Carpen-
ter, Margaret Hopkins, Beryl Crews. Mimi Mitchell, Nancy
Wilkinson, Jessie Hodges, and Joann Piastre.

Gretch Reinartz, sophomore chairman, announced also the
selection of H. A. Robinson, professor of mathmatics, as
sophomore judge.

College Buys
Movie Projector

With the purchase of a movie
projector, Agnes Scott moves for-
ward to more modern classroom
instruction.

The machine is to be used by
any department for the showing of
educational films of value to the
course. Such a practice has become
prevalent in colleges over the
country, and has been used here in
the biology department.

The movies are to be shown in
the art lecture room, with the
art department in charge of sche-
duling use of the medicine. Depart-
ment heads may rent films by
applying to President McCain for
the necessary funds.

Mr. Stukes says the 16 mille-
meter sound projector is the best
of its kind.

Posey To Speak
At Investiture

Walter B. Posey, head of the
history department and a fac-
ulty advisor for the senior class,
will speak at Investiture ser-
vices Nov. 1.

The News erroneously re-
ported last week that Dr. Allen
D. Albert, Emory sociology pro-
fessor, would speak at that ser-
vice. Dr. Albert, instead, will
speak at the church service in
Gaines chapel, Saturday, Nov. 2.

Campus-Wide
Honor Forums
Stir Comment

By Hunt Morris

Reactions to the Honor System
discussions held last Tuesday
night on every wing were neither
complacent nor violent. There
seemed to be a healthy sort of
interest on the part of old stu-
dents in thinking through the sys-
tem again, and on the part of new
ones who appear to want earnest-
ly, though distractedly, to draw
some conclusion of their own out
of the mass of explanations of the
honor system.

White House had what really
deserves to be called a discussion
with some honest thinking, in
spite of the fact that 11 freshmen
live there. Most leaders elsewhere
reported that frosh were too ex-
hausted from the day's labor to
have many burning questions.

Some freshmen remarked that
they felt the Honor System had
been emphasized to them so much
the discussions were unnecessary.

New Co-eds Brave Wiles
To Take A. S- Education

By Lorton Lee

Sleepy A. S. C. students stumb-
ling to morning classes have been
jolted awake by the unusual
spectacle of seven men sauntering
through Buttrick's halls. Has Ag-
nes Scott gone co-ed or have we
got some eager in-between-class
daters ?

The answer is neither. The sev-
en boys who have caused so many
retakes from Agnes Scotters pass-
ing by are unobstrusive Emory
students trying to get an educa-
tion. Not even registered at A. S.
C. but at Emory they are on cam-
pus to attend Education 401 giv-
en by Dr. Sterling G. Brinkley,
professor of education at Emory
University. Last year Mr. Haskew
taught similar courses at both
Emory and Agnes Scott. This year
that was impossible so the boys
are gallantly doing the traveling.

Othello P. Hammonds, of At-
lanta; Wilson Harry of College
Park; Howard Baker of Valdosta,
Ga.; George Bryan of Marianna,
Fla.; Albert Soderland of Atlanta;
Jefferson Dixon of JLeary, Ga.; and

to the campus every Monday,
Wednesday, and Friday mornings
and Thursday afternoon.

The general opinion of our
adopted students is favorable tow-
ard Agnes Scott. George Bryan,
an SAE who is working on his
Master's degree in eduation, says
they like the campus but are
puzzled and amused by the fact
that A. S. C. girls have apparently
discarded their traditional "hey"
and cordial manner. "They're so
decorous and withdrawn," he com-
mented, "in class," he laughed, "it
is like this typewriter. The girls sit
on the bottom left-hand keys and
we sit on the top right-hand keys.
They look like they're bunching
up for protection. We don't mind
but a smile would just make us
feel more at home."

Other comments were that the
only really serious difficulty is
getting books for classes. Emory
does not always have education
books on reserve and one boy who
tried to use the Agnes Scott lib-
rary was thwarted by the fact
that he had no card. "How do you
get one?" he asked, "You can't"

Frosh chairman Cissie Spiro
has announced members of the
freshman cast. Taking parts are:
Mary Hayes Barbar, Sally Jack-
son, Marie Heng, Amy Jones, Dot
Jennings, Dorothy Jean Harrison,,
Annelle Simpson, Anne Perkinson^
Virginia Rogers, Joann Woods,
Kay Laufer, Carolyn Critchlow,
Anne Kincaid, M. C. Lindsay, Ju-
lianne Morgan, Charlotte Key,
Patsy McCarthy, Virginia Dunn,
Sally Thomaston, Wilton Rice.,
Page Hutchison, Charity Bennett.,
Fritz Hale, Jerry Keef, Dodo Mar-
tin, Martha Long, Joan Brown, Vi-
vian Cruze, Mary Stubbs, Terry
Keith, Virginia Kay, Tiny Morrow,
Margaret Knight, Nancy Brown,
Betty Coco, B. J. Foster, Anne
Brooke, Francis Hale, Betty Mc-
Clean, Marijean Alexander, Vir-
gina Chard, Peggy Anne Phelan,
Virginia Arnold, Jackie Sue Mes-
ser, and Joan Buckner.

The freshman writing commit-
tee consists of Nancy Anderson,
Marylyn Gorman, Eliza Polland.,
Marie Woods, Barbara Hytken,
Ellen Hull, and Martha Ann Ste-
gar.

Andrea Deal was selected to
head the scenery committee and
Elizabeth Ragland will supervise
the decorations.

The idea for the Black Cat stinrt
was originated in 1916 by the col-
lege physician Dr. Mary F. Sweety
in an attempt to provide a s?jb-
stitute for the hazing system.
Since then the freshmen-sopcho-
more battle has been an annual
event. Judgement of the skit and:
the awarding of the prized bell
for the kitty's neck is based on:
(1) cheering with emphasis; on
clearness and originality, (2) de-
coration and (3) the stunt itself v
considering plot, acting, original-
ity, and staging (costumes, scen-
ery, and general effects).

William Dennon of Atlanta come | was the answer.

Colder Chooses
Stone Mountain
Setting For Lab

.Last week's physics labs cfe-
parted from the normal routine in
the science hall to meet on top
of Stone Mountain.

The variation of air pressure a",
different levels was the subjecv
of their lab experiment. They act-
ually tested the difference in
pressure by climbing the moun-
tain.

Dr. Calder, who apparently loves
climbing Stone Mountain, proudly
boasts now of having taken all
his classes there except his atom-
ic physics class, and he is "rack-
ing his brain" to think of some
reason for taking them-

Merry-Go-Round

By Mildred Claire Jones

Another Sunday night . . . The big weekend is over and
sophisticated college women are once again schoolgirls. It
is a typical night in Inman. Sara Samonds came rushing to
talk about the big time at the SAE house at Emory this week-
end. After numerous exclamations she said that she saw
Candy Hollandsworth, Margie Orr,

June Davis, and Dot Porter en-
tering the Sigma Chi house.

Continuing on down fraternity
row, Gene Wilson, Betty Finney,
Andrea Dale, and Betty Harrell
danced with the Delts. "I know
they must have had a wonderful
time," Sara went on, "but of
course there's nothing like the
SAE house!"

At this moment Sally Jackson
ran in to tell us about her week-
end. "It was wonderful!" she ex-
claimed. "I went to the Sigma Chi
house and saw everybody. Margar-
et Hopkins, Gretchen Reinartz,
Carolyn Wells, Jo Ann Cobb, Nan-
cy Parks, Ginny Feddeman, Sal-
ly Ellis, Splinter Board, Bobbie
Cathcart, and Mary Hayes Bar-
ber were there too. And speaking
of popular, Val von Lehe, Betty
Williams, Julie Cuthbertson, Sis-
ter Davis, Liz Williams, and Bet-
sy Deal weren't allowed to take
three steps before someone broke.
Love that place!"

Football, Football

"Never a dull moment" is our
motto and adding to the confusion
were Pagie Violette and Mary
Manly in from the Georgia-L. S. U.
game in Athens, tired but happy.
**I was so disappointed during the
game. We didn't see anybody but
afterward we saw everybody, Beth
Jones, Zollie Saxon, Betty Black-
mon, Sid Cummings, Susan Bowl-
ing, Ruth Hayes, B. J. Sauer, and
Carolyn Critchlow."

"'And coming in a few minutes
ago," Pagie added, "we saw heaps

of people. Amanda Hulsey had
been home to Gainesville, Mimi
Arnold to Griffin, Mary Sims to
Dalton, Eclaire Cunningham to
Eatonton, and TeeToe Williams
to Marietta."

I hastened to tell them my bits
of news. "Thousands of people
went to the Tech SAE house. Ann
Gebhart, Lillian Lasseter, Patty
Hampton, Mary Lou Hatfield, Sal-
ly Thompson, Patty Phillips, Lyd
Gardner, Nan Ford, Emily Pope,
and Mary Beth Little all were
there. And a few minutes ago I
saw an enormous crowd in the
hall and rushed over to see what
the excitement was. I helped them
scream over Harriet Ann Mc-
Guire's SAE pin. Barbara Young,
Dot Floyd, Jane Cook, Beryl
Crews, Norah Ann Little, Jean
Tollison, Charlotte Bartlett, Jes-
sie Carpenter, Ann Sartain, Casey
Chance, and Isabel Truslow were
all bemoaning the fact that they
had been at the SAE house too,
but did they have a beautiful pin?
Definitely not."

Hep With Hay rides

My roommate, Nancy Deal,
came home with the latest gossip
from the D. O. (Dean's Office,
that is). "Everybody had hay rides
this weekend. The Tech ATO's was
real much fun, so Margaret Anne
Richards says. Others, there were
June Irvine, B. J. Sauer, Charlsie
Smith, Polly Miles, Butch Hayes,
Margie Major, Jane Oliver, Dot
Medlock, Margaret Glenn, Polly

Beggs, Ridley
To Wed Soon

Miss Margaret Ridley, popular
recorder and instructor in Eng-
lish, has resigned from the col-
lege staff to wed Mr. E. Dixie
Beggs, of Pensacola, Fla. The wed-
ding will be solemnized at twelve
noon, Oct. IS, in St. Luke's Epis-
copal church, Atlanta.

A resident of Decatur, Miss Rid-
ley got her bachelor of arts de-
gree at Agnes Scott, and her mas-
ter of arts degree at Columbia
university. After teaching in the
Atlanta and Decatur Girls high
schools, she returned to the cam-
pus as a faculty member in the
fall of 1943.

Mr. Beggs is a member of a law
firm and president of the Florida
State Bar Association. The couple
will live in Pensacola.

Harris, Sara Tucker, Lucy Mohr,
and Mary Louise Warlick. And I
heard Twig Hertwig say that she
went and saw Betty Beddingfield,
Kay Laufer. Janet Quinn, Easy
Beale and Jean Tollison. Must have
been quite the party.

"Everybody went out in Main, I
think. Nancy Geer said she and
Willa Wagner were at the PiKA
house at Tech and saw Pat Mc-
Gowan, Kay Laufer, Joanne Peter-
son, and Phil Narmore. Also over
Tech way were Steele Dendy,
Clarkie Rogers, Betzie Powers,
Maxine Kickliter, Myrt Mariani
and Penny Rogers at the Beta
Theta Pi house dance. I saw Jo
McCall, Lynn Phillips, and Pris
Hatch coming in from the Sigma
Chi hay ride too."

Pin and Ring Dept.

Not to be out-talked Pagie came
up with, "Have you heard
about Betty Jo Doyle's ATO pin?
It's so pretty. Jane Alsobrook

Having much work to do (stuff
like listening to the radio and
polishing my fingernails, you
know) I shushed everybody and
got to work. It was quiet so I
called Anne Elcan. After much of
"how are you" we finally got down
to the dormitory gossip. "Have
you heard about Ellen Morrison's
ring?" she fairly screamed at me.
"It's just gorgeous! And by the
way I went to the Tech KA dance
at the Georgian Terrace last night.
Joan Lawrence, Newell Turner,
Emily Pope, Marilyn Gorman and
Marianela Segura were there too.
On our way we saw Pat Garner,
Marijean Alexander, and Rose
Mary Griffin at the Phi Kappa
Sig house, and Sarah Hancock at
the Sigma Nu house.

"When Genie Sims was coming
in, she was talking to Frankie
Francisco who said that she saw
you at the Paradise Room when
she and Ivy Morris were there,
and I think Harriet Reid was at
the Naval Air Base. Really, every-
body was out this weekend from
this floor." Anne finished.

I hastily repeated all our In-

think, "Did you know that Annelle
Simpson, June Davis, Katherine
Loemaker, Zollie Saxon, and Sarah
Davis went to the Tech's Phi Delt

riet Gregory, Mary Beth Little,

they saw Martha Warlick, Frances

New students, to an extent
which cannot be exactly ascertain-
ed, seem uncertain about the ser-

of responsibility for the honor of
others. This formed the basis for
a good many old students' discus-

MEMBER

Associated Collegiate Press

We Talk Turkey

If the News has a beef, our policy is to be straightforward
about it. Sneak punches, insinuation, and innuendo are not
our favorite weapons. We as a staff disapprove of back-
handed compliments or slams.

Last week we welcomed the freshmen. We praised their
spirit and we're glad. That still goes.

No comparison with the sophomores was stated or inferred.
The fact that frosh have pep does not necessarily mean that
sophs do not. We think that the sophomores are going after
the Black Cat fully mobilized, armed, and infused with an
abundance of spirit. It just is not customary to welcome back
old students.

When we blast something, be it class, campus organization,
campus officers, or state politics, we promise to make our
purpose unmistakable. All searches for hidden meanings
will be futile.

Representing You

Life blood of our campus is democracy in student govern-
ment. Each broadening of the base of representation is a
shot in the arm transfusing new life into the system. That is,
if the representatives keep fingers on the pulse of student
opinion.

Tomorrow we will vote for new lower house representa-
tives. Only way to make sure lower house has an ear to the
ground for student opinion is to think twice before voting.

Elevation of lower house members to second in command
to house presidents can mean a stronger link between exec
and student body, or it can mean just more red tape bu-
reaucracy.

Cabbage and Kings

By Mary Beth Little

Ink-pinks and the phenomenal
stack of pink date slips every
night have been a vocal-focal,
oops, I mean a chief table topic
these past weeks. It seems Stu-
dent government's exec-trek to
Smyrna started it all. Turned out
to be an education-combination of
school's rules and chatter-matter.
The "When far from the reach"
angle speaks for itself; haggard
looks of our keen-dean and her
staff (premission-commission) sub-
stantiate the new datus-status.

As suming that all "James-
dames" are mad about the fad,
(surely no one is so campus co-
cooned, so socially marooned as to
have missed the gist, let us pur-
vey the survey gleaned from the
si ream of ink-pinks). What say we
catch our breath too!

C harm Farm

Here at Agnes Scott, charm-
farm, that is, we are dominated by
Time. An alarm clock is a napper-
rapper; after a zip-trip back from
a too-late-date, one gets a clock-
knock. Madly we join the hash-
dash from the one o'clock (noon-
swoon) class. Much brain-strain
and muddy-study all day long.
Then at night into those welcome
doze - clothes (lax - slacks or
glama-pajamas), then stumble-
tumble into the sleep-heap, and
off to dreams. Sometimes restless-
ness results in a sluba-rhumba,
and you wake up weary-bleary, in
a sure nuff super-stuper Monday
yawnin-mawnin.

Another deep breath. It isn't
glamorous to be stammerous.

And this is as good time as any
to tell a straight story of quick re-
tort, authenticated by reliable cit-
izens on Third Main. More ink-
pinks coming up.

j Senior (flying down hall): "My
tub runneth over."

Friend: "Surely hot water and
Mrs. Smith will follow you all the
days of your life and you shall
dwell on the campus forever."

So much for the one story any-
one bothered to tell your poor
copy-starved columnist and her
gaunt typewriter.

Xmas Cards

Advocating the shop-early the-
ory, seniors, with Lee Brewer as
manager, are selling Christmas
cards, folders and gift wrappings
for their fall project.

On sale now in the lobby of But-
trick, the cards vary from Ameri-
can scenes to assorted greetings
and from oilette to humorous. De-
luxe gift wrappings are adversised
as "a grand profusion of everything
you need." In addition the class
is selling everyday notes and
Christmas notes.

Lee announced that seniors will
sell cards from 9:30 to 10:30 a.
m., 11 to 12 noon, and 1 to 2:00
p. m. Dormitories will also be can-
vassed for sales.

Agnes Scott Day
To Honor Students
At First Methodist

The First Methodist church in
Decatur has designated Sunday,
Oct. 12 "Agnes Scott Day." An
all-day program has been plan-
ned honoring Agnes Scott's Met-
hodist students.

Decatur girls will be hostesses to
the Agnes Scott girls throughout
the day. After attending Sunday
school and church, girls will be
entertained in the homes of church
members.

A fellowship period at the
church at 4 p. m. will be followed
by the Young People's meeting at
6:30 p. m. The speaker will be
Dr. Lin Kwang-te, who served dur-
ing the war as Y. M. C. A. chair-
man in charge of Chinese refugee
students. He is now connected
with Candler School of Theology.
An evening service at the church
at which the pastor, the Rev. Har-
vey C. Holland, will speak will
conclude the program.

ACS Greets
Former WAVE

By Dot Medloek

Teaching French and serving in
the communications' division of
the Navy are poles apart. Perhaps,
however, this versatility is what
makes Miss Mary Johnson such
an interesting person.

An alumna of Agnes Scott, Miss
Johnson has returned this year as
an assistant in the French depart-
ment after three and a half years
in the Waves. Most of this time
was spent in Boston working in
the Eastern Sea Frontier on air
and sea operations.

While in Boston, Miss Johnson
lived on historic Beacon street,
not far from a lake where she
spent some of her spare time ice-
skating. She found time, too, for
a great deal of sailing and skiing.
Born in Missouri, she had to be
shown that skiing in Boston was
as exhilarating as in her home
state.

A natural-born lover of people,
Miss Johnson thoroughly enjoyed
the contacts she made with peo-
ple from foreign ships while in
the Waves. She enjoys teaching,
too, because she likes to see the
results of her work with her stu-
dents.

The new French instructor be-
lieves that the results of "under-
standing through the study of
languages" may affect the world
wide understanding of nations.

Classes Purr Contentedly;
Confident in 47 Chairmen

By Jenelle Spear

One of the few girls who has
led, not a dog's, but a cat's life is
Cissie Spiro, the frosh chairman
of the Black Cat stunt. It is only
natural that Cissie should feel that
she has stepped into cat's paws,
for she is working steadily at the
hard job of preparing for that an-
nual contest between the fresh-
men and sophomores.

No one could be better qualifi-
ed than Cissie, as her past ex-
periences in leadership and her
creative ability indicate. As for
her qualities of leadership, the
freshman chairman has served as
secretary and treasurer of the
dramatics club in her high school
and directed her senior class play,
Phillip Barry's "Spring Dance."

Cissie represented Hunter col-
lege's experimental high school in
the Patrick Henry oratorical con-
test and took an active part in
debating, open forums, and politi-
cal rallies. These activities are a:
key to her career, for she plans
to major in political science and
English, with her final objective
a government position such as the
House of Representatives or the
Senate.

Creative abilities? Read on.
When Seventeen magazine spon-
sored a nation-wide contest, Cis-
sie entered, wrt>te a first rate
paper on "How I Got My First
Date," and emerged with the first
prize. No doubt many of you have
noticed that the announcements
about Black Cat on the bulletin
board have been written in verse.
This is just a sample of some of
Cissie's humorous poetry. Serious
poetry is also attempted, but us-
ually ends up in the humorous
category, with Cissie being the
first to laugh at it.

Lollipops, Carl Sandburg, folk
singing, swimming and canoeing
give us a cross-s e c t i o n of
Cissie's extracurricular interests.

As to who will win the stunt
nobody but the Black Kitty knows.
But if the freshmen don't, it won't
be due to the lack of ability on
the part of their chairman.

Copy Hook

The following song was writ-
ten by a Latin student in the
throes of preparing her assign-
ment.

(Tune: "Swannee")

Latin! How I love ya, how I
love ya

My dear old Latin;

I'd give the world to be

Among the folks of

Caesar, Vergil, Horace, and now
Livy's

Waitin' for me, prayin' for me

Down by the Tiber.

The folks in Greece will see me

no more
When I get to that Roman

Shore!

Nancy Parks and her frog were
seen hopping from table to table
in the dinning room Sunday.

One of our less enlightened
switchboard operators confessed
to spending fifteen minutes sear-
ching the handbook to find out
the school's colors in answer to a
query from the Atlanta Journal.
She finally told him they were
purple and gold.

By Cathie Davis

"Do you know Gretchen Rein-
artz? She's my sophornore helper,"
came from the freshman at our
lunch table. Did I know Gretch?
Eight months in the same build-
ing with that combination of en-
ergy and ideas left no one a chance
not to be well acquainted with her.

Surely, we all knew Gretch. Our
new friend added, "She certainly
is nice, isn't she?" Again we nod-
ded, I was thinking that the word
"nice" was a gross understate-
ment.

I remember last year. At first,
Gretch's accomplishments rather
bewildered us. We never could de-
cide whether Gretch was an artist,
an athlete, or a musician. Some-
times we -caught her sketching
people (fortunately her profes-
sors did not discover this talent)
or stretching her fingers over the
keyboard of Inman's piano. No one
could believe that Gretch had
studied piano for only three years
when she played classical music
without even the aid of glasses.
When Gretch was not on second
Inman or in Miss Mac's lab, it
was a safe bet that she would be
either on the hockey field, or in
the swimming pool, or at the rid-
ing ring.

All these, however, are com-
p 1 e t e 1 y incomparable with her
greatest talent. Once every three
or four weeks Gretch would dash
into an 8:30 English 101 class,
clinging to a critical essay with
one hand and rubbing half-closed
eyes with the other. She would
have gotten up early to write in
one morning the paper which the
rest of us had labored over for
long hours. And she got by with
Merit Pluses! Gretch had a way
with the pen and writing is one
of her favorite pastimes.

Gretchen came to Agnes Scott
all the way from Red Bank, New
Jersey, for no particular reason
other than that she liked the south
after having lived in five differ-
ent southern states. She wanted
to attend a first-class southern
college and is quite happy with her
selection.

Her agreeable disposition is
peeved only at being called "Ger-
trude" and seeing an H in her
last name. Now her chief inter-
est in life, besides one small,
green-eyed black cat, is one Iatge
(six feet two), green-eyed blond
Walter.

She's the sophomore's choice and
even the freshmen four days B.
B. C. (before the stunt) agree that
Gretch is a good kiddie.

Angels Bow to Hep-Cats
In Close Cat Skirmish

By Lorton Lee

Jiving sophomores sang their way into the judges' hearts
to win the cat from spirited freshmen angels in one of the
closest contests in the 31 years of Black Cat tradition.

The decision of judges Miss Charlotte Hunter, Henry Rob-
inson, and L. H. Johnson in favor of the sophomores was
announced by "Pop" Johnson who
delivered the Kitty to sophomore
chairman Gretch Reinhartz.

Outdoing the streamers and
ballons of former years both sophs
and frosh elaborately beautified
their sides of the gym with bill-
board sized posters covering ra-
diators and baskets. Personality
pussies frolicked on the sopho-
more wall while a frosh in cat's
clothing clamoured up the "Mew-
Way" reaching for stars.

The freshman section, in yellow
sweaters and black skirts, sang
with a marked absence of the
usual freshman rah-rah atmos-
phere. Many of the song
lyrics used were originated by
members of the class of '51.

year's committee aided by Mim
Steele, Mimi Arnold, Dot Quil-
lian, Gretch Reinartz, Butch
Hayes, Susan Neville and Betsy
Baker.

Crowd Applauds 'New Look'
In Wheel-News Fashionaire

By Calico

Evidence seemed to be all on
the side of the new look for girls
and the right look for boys at the
News-Wheel fashionaire Friday
night.

Agnes Scott models were all
the fall fashions from Allen's
needed to present an irrefutable
argument to the crowd jamming
Emory's Cafeteria for longer
skirts and other drastic style
changes.

Mary Beth Little and Harry
Binford contributed the commen-
tary. Betzie Powers, Clarkie Rog-
ers, Joe Duke and John Kelly
opened the controversy with a de-
bate, a condensation of the one
concerning long skirts which they
presented in chapel Wednesday.
Betzie and Clarkie introduced
their exhibit A, Harriet Gregory,
the old look exemplified, to help
convince male stand-patters.

Proof that the audience was
convinced, temporarily anyway,
was their enthusiastic reception
of Nancy Deal, Norah Anne Little,
Sara Jane Campbell, Casey
Chance, Cama Clarkson, Mary
Mohr, Beryl Crews, June Irvine,
Val von Lehe, and Mim Steele in
the round-the-clock wardrobe they
modeled-

Their male escorts, after seeing
Lovick Lingo in the "new" short
pants as Joe's and John's ex-
hibit A for the male new look, de-
cided to be conservative another
year. Matching Agnes Scott mod-
els' smartness and formality in
each scene, the Emory lads made
a suave showing.

A dance to the music of the Em-
ory Aces climaxed the fashion
frolics. The Wheel, the Emory In-
dependents, and Emory Student
council sponsored the dance.

Book Award
Contest Opens

Open to all students in all
classes is the contest for the
Louise McKinney Book Award,
Miss Janef Preston, chairman of
the committee on the Award an-
nounced. She urged that all con-
testants give their names to
members of the English depart-
ment by the end of the first
quarter.

The Award winner is the stu-
dent who acquires by the middle
of May the most interesting and
discriminating personal library
and who, in the opinion of the
judges, reveals real understanding
of her books. Miss Preston ad-
vised contestants to begin their
collections as early as possible.

To be eligible for the $25 award,
collections must contain at least
15 books and should represent the
owner's tastes whether they treat
varied fields of interest or one
special field. Books which are
gifts may be included in the col-
lections, but ample evidence must
be given of the collector's initia-
tive and discrimination.

The Award was established a
number of years ago as a memori-
al to Miss Louise McKinney, pro-
fessor emeritus of English. The
winner will be announced at
commencement.

Students Elect

Elections for Lower House were

Merry-Go-Round

By Mildred Claire Jones

Have you seen the cats in Inman? Well, you really should.
The} 7 are remarkable animals. Last weekend I overheard a
conversation which showed me that they don't miss a thing
that goes on on this campus. The sleek black "alley cat"
greeted the gray Persian with a hearty "Mew" and settled
down to talk. "Have you ever seen

such rushing around? I heard
some freshmen talking last night
and they are trying to get some
cat who obviously is just like me.
They have worked for days. How-
ever, they managed to stop for
awhile to entertain those Tech
boys. Rushing for the ATOs were
Charlsie Smith, Mot Warlick, Jean
Harper, Polly Miles, June Irvine,
Butch Hayes, Margaret Anne
Richards, B. J. Sauer, Betty Bed-
dingfield, Shorty Lehmann, and
Dot Medlock. Their Emory broth-
ers had a hayride the next night,
'cause Flo Bryant, Amanda Hul-
sey, Betzie Powers, Jo Heinz, Har-
riet Reid, and Nancy Geer were
there."

Millions of Hayrides

"Hay rides seem to have been
the rage this week," the Persian
confided with a decided Southern
drawl. "I heard Harriet Lurton
say that she went on a Lambda
Chi hayride with Marianna Hol-
landsworth. Sheely Little, Doc
Dunn, Virginia Tucker, Flo Bry-
ant, Virginia Henry, Jo Culp,
Pat McManmon, and Nan Honour.
And Harriet Gregory saw Myrt

"My dean," the Persian drawl
ed, "it really isn't the quantity,
it's the quality. Remember Sarah
Jane Campbell and Jean Osborn?
They lived here with us last year.
Well, they went to the Phi Delt
formal Saturday night and so did
Betty Blackmon, Weezie Durant
Carol Equen, Rebekah Scott, Mar-
ianela Segura, Casey Haff, and
Sarah Tucker. So there too!"

Since the conversation was
dragging on for a long time, the
two cats climbed slowly but
steadily to the third floor where
they stretched comfortably on Pat
McCartney's bed and settled down
to discuss the rest of the goings-
on on campus.

Whee! Uniforms!

"Have you ever seen so many
uniforms around? The VMI boys
really took over the place. Pagie
Violette, Mildred Claire Jones,
Lou McLaurin, and Zollie Saxon
were with some of them at the
Rainbow Roof. They saw Ivy Mor-
ris, Frankie Francisco, and Dot
Floyd there. Easy Beale, Irene
McLeod, Mary Allen Tucker, Anne
Kincaid, Liz Ragland, Susan Bow-
ling, and Carolyn Critchlow helped
show them around too. Believe it
or not, seventy-one girls went to
the football game!-

The chatter died for awhile but
our friend Al popped up with
"Did you know that Nan Honour
and Dot Stewart have diamonds?
And Jean Henson has a gorgeous
Phi Delt pin. She, and Julia Pen-
nington, Splinter Board, Jackie
Jacobs, and Lauradel Parkerson

weekend. Also seen around Emory
were Sarah Hancock and Myrt

More House Dances

'Speaking of crowds, the girls
going to Theta Chi and Sigma
Chi practically filled the hall in
Main. Betsy Deal, Liz Williams,
Bobbie Cathcart, Julianne Cook,
Dot Quillian, Pat McGowan, Splin-
ter Board, Lee Cousar, Nancy
Dendy, and Cama C 1 a r k s o n
went to the Sigma Chi house,
while Helen Harrison, Jane Cook,
Nancy Martin, Babs Young, Ann
Pitts, Mary Alice McDonald, and
Frankie Howerton went with the
Theta Chis. They saw Willa Wag-
ner entering the PiKA house and

Newell Turner, Billie Powell and
Anne Brooke at the KA house."

"You can really tell when it is
a special night, can't you? Nancy
Wilkinson, Patty Overton, Sue
McSpadden, Helen Christian, and
Betty Asbill were looking real
sharp when they left for the Para-
dise Room. And did you see the
other visitors besides VMI boys?
One of the best-looking was Jo
McCall's John from Clemson."

"The Persian cat stifled a deep
yawn and said, 'Enough of this
nonsense. Let's do something im-
portant like sleep. Oops, here
they come home from dates. Let's
run!"

Snoopin' around the Gym, ten-

ing ring, you can pick up quite a
few scraps and bits of conversa-
tion that are interesting. In fact,
down there you can get a good
cross-section of public opinion and

talking about in events past, pre-
sent, and future.

Nine Girls Join
Officials Club
Fall Quarter

Thus far nine girls have signed
up for the new Officiating club,
sponsored by Athletic association.
They will meet this week to de-
cide on the time for their regular
meetings.

This club will train girls to be
qualified officials in various
sports such as hockey, swimming,
basketball, and volleyball. It has
been organized in order to pro-
mote more interest in correct
playing and good form. The meet-
ings will include a general study
of hand book rules on the various
sports and talks by the members
of the physical education faculty
and other qualified officials. The
members will also be required
to have several hours of practical
experience. Upon completion of
this course, Miss Wilburn will
give an officials examination and
those who pass will be qualified
to officiate in games at any
school.

For this fall quarter, the meet-
ings will only cover hockey and
swimming rules. Those who have
signed up for swimming officials
are Barbara Lawson, Bunny Bran-
non, Jane Barker, Floss Hanson,
and Cathie Davis. The hockey of-
ficials will be Lady Major, Vir-
ginia Tucker, Doc Dunn, and Ma
rie Cuthbertson.

Prediction of a good hockey season with exciting, spirited
games is the consensus among hockey authorities on campus.

Black Cat Stunt

( Continued from page 1)

mores entered behind a brilliant
red satin class-of-'50 banner and
sang entirely original lyrics in a
professional choral manner.

The class of '51's "Mew Hea-
ven" written completely in verse
form centered about the heavenly
trial of Kit, Mary Hayes Barber,
who after using up nine lives
wished to return to earth as A.
S. C.'s mascot.

Charity Bennett as Priscilla of
John Alden fame explaining that
"Tech men are so slow" ; the judge's
and juror's "Right?" "Check", and
the "Ugga bugga boo" of Amazon
Carolyn Critchlow rated laughter
and applause from the entire au-
dience.

The sophomores in "Scents Make
For Alli-Gents" presented for the
first time a musical Black Cat
stunt. The two act skit was based
on the feudin' of Hep-cats and
Alley-cats for supremacy in the
alley. Country-cousins come visit-
ing and definitely "offend", caus-
ing Alley-and Hep-cats to unite
to drive out the foreigners.

Highlighting the sophomore's
"Scents Make For Alli-Gents"
were the musical number "Any-
thing You Can Do I Can Do Bet-
ter," Margaret Hopkin's interpere-
tive tap dance, and Mimi Mitchel's
unification speech in the "Ceme-
tery er grave affair."

better playing, resulting from more
instruction on technique.

"The freshmen team looks bet-
ter than usual," asserted Miss
Wilburn. Girls who have played
before and who will form the
backbone of the team are Liz Rag-
land, center forward, Joann
Wood, left inner, Jimmie McGee,
right inner, and Vrginia Chard,
left wing. The new players, too,
promise a wealth of support to
the team.

Under manager Ann Williamson,
the sophs are looking forward to
a good season. Old reliables out
for the second time are Terrell
Warburton, Mary Louise War-
lick, and Sandy Truslow. Ann thinks
the team will click better this
year as a result of last year's ex-
perience and that the large num-
ber out will increase spirit and in-
terest.

The junior team is the superior
team so far as quantity is con-
cerned. In spite of the fact that
one of the most outstanding mem-
bers, Jean Fraser Duke, isn't
back this year, the quality is up
to par with that of previous years.
Under Reese Newton's manage-
ment, the players will go after
victories as they always have.

The seniors, who in past years
have had hard luck, so far as win-
ning games is concerned, are an-
ticipating a much more successful
season. Old standbys back on the
field are E. Claire Cunningham,
Sister Davis, Doc Dunn, Sheely
Little, and Ann Treadwell. Lady
Major, manager, in remarking on
the prospects of the season said
she would use college football stra-
tegy and predicts the loss of every
game. She expressed high hopes
for her team and is counting on
plenty of victories.

Shoes for the Entire Family
X-Ray Fitting by Specialist

Environment
Plus Heredity
Equals Golfer

By Jane Alsobrook

"Our house is between two
golf courses," says Jane Sharkey,
golf manager. And with that en-
vironment, it is practically inevit-
able that she love the game.

Heredity must have had some-
thing to do with it, too, because
Jane's golf-playing family intro-
duced her to a club at the age of
five- But the fact that Jane is
East Lake Club champion and was
runner-up in the city tournament
could be due to only one thing,
talent.

Although Jane has been play-
ing tournament golf only two
years, she has been semi-finalist
in the State, qualified in the
championship division of the Wo-
men's Open, won many small tour-
naments and played in the West-
ern. Her biggest thrill came in
this last tournament, for she took
the famous Patty Berg to the
eighteenth.

But for a girl who just can't
wait to get from school to the
East Lake course, Jane is amaz-
ingly active at Agnes Scott. Be-
sides being golf manager, she is
in charge of volleyball for A. A.
and was a member of the volley-
ball varsity team. Jane has also
been class day student representa-
tive for her two years here. And
recently she was production mana-
ger for a victorious soph class in
the Black Cat contest.

Atlanta is known for the fam-
ous golfers it produces, and after
looking at Jane Sharkey's re-
cord, we do not feel hasty in pre-
dicting that Jane will be one of
them.

Needless to say, Jane is always
busy, and she is never at a loss
for words. She has the courage to
be an independent leaning toward
the republicans in this solid south.

Bell Tolls Period

The stunt is over and won. The judges have decided. Black
Cat work and fun are finished for 1947, but claws are still
sharpened. Why?

Both classes showed admirable spirit as an immediate re-
action to the judges announcement that the sophomores had
won, but since Saturday night a mounting feeling of discon-
tent has developed, not only in the freshman class but in
their sister class as well.

Judges elected by the participating classes, not appointed
by the administration, were vested with authority by those
same classes to choose the winner. Any criticism of this year's
stunt should be used for constructive corrections in the '48
contest, not for arousing bitterness between classes.

Whether you are philosophic enough to believe that "What-
ever is, is right'' no one can refute the fact that "Whatever
is, is."

Spirit can be built or broken by defeat and the challenge
of 'Can you take it?" is before every vanquished class. Fresh-
men have showed us their spirit; now they- must prove it is
the right kind. L. L.

Double Reward

'^Reading maketh a full man" quoth old Sir Francis Bacon
on our library beams. To misquote him, book collecting mak-
eth a full library and incidentally a fat purse. Collecting for
the Louise McKinney Book Award kills two birds with one
stone.

But seriously all the sages and our English professors as-
sure us that book collecting is a satisfying hobby. To help you
along if you're one of those people with good intentions but
no will power to resist Coty's or Black Light nylons the Louise
McKinney memorial annually offers an award of $25 for the
best co-ordinated and assimilated collection.

It's basically sound to acquire now the books you like
and will want to enjoy later.

Morality Play

The power of suggestion or the power of the press or
delayed reactions or something made for drama in everyday
education last week.

Not certain as to what the moral is exactly, we hesitate
to point one out. Sounds like a moral tale, though.

One of our new classmates from Emory had but to remark
the atmosphere's chill when interviewed and the temperature
shot up to make Education 401 about the chummiest class-
room in Buttrick.

One co-ed was greeted effusively enough to erase forever
the smear on the campus' record for friendliness.

Cabbages and Kings

many see pink and since we were
deluged with letters (well, one

postage due), it was deemed wise
to make a correction and to add
some favorite ink-pink^ unwit-

First of all, we are informed of
a vital etymological error. An ink-
pink refers to word pairs of only one
syllable. An inky-pinky indicates
two. On three syllabled couples

"President Truman has appealed
to every American to cooperate in
a program of voluntary conserva-
tion of food. The purpose of this
program is to make available the
grain and other food necessary to
supplement the diminishing sup-

Why Back the Plan

"Many of us, however, are pretty
selfish human beings. We haven't

back the plan for purely selfish
reasons.

"Eating a slice of bread less each
day will, over a period of weeks,

"Eating less meat will reduce the

ping the trimmings and avoiding
wasted food. Those pockets are
almost bulging" now.

"If, because of our selfishness,

Festivities To Feature
Inter-Nation Theme

Community day, with the world as the community, comes
to the campus in festival form under the name of Inter-Na-
tion Celebration, Saturday afternoon, Nov. 8.

Mortar Board is sponsoring the festivities, which will in-
clude the campus as a whole. Pagie Violette, Mortar Board
president, explained that the Cele-

bration is a part of the year's
program designed to "develop
within us an international mind."

Smaller organizations partici-
pating in various of the day's
activities are Bible club, Spanish
club, French club, International
Relations club, Chi Beta Phi, and
the League of Women Voters.

Featured in the Inter-Nation
Celebration will be displays from
different countries, folk singing,
folk dancing for exhibition and
for participation, a Spanish play,
possibly a French movie and
games-. A White Elephant sale,
the proceeds of which will go to
European relief agencies, will cli-
max the day's program. Pagie
described a White Elephant sale
as an auction where everyone gets
rid of items that do not match
or fit and acquires those which
do.

Everybody is urged to come in
costume, Pagie pointed out, for
atmospheric and decorative ef-
fects.

Not since 1944 has the campus
community come together for a
day of festival. The last communi-
ty day was primarily a play day
without Inter-Nation Celebra-
tion's undercurrent of serious
purpose.

Chapel To Offer
Music, Readings

With semi-classical songs, piano
selection, and ballad readings the
speech and music departments will
present the first in a series of
combined chapel programs Friday.

Alice Crenshaw will open the
program with Moszkowski's piano
composition, "Spanish Capris".
Mary Noras will sing "Through
the Years" by Youmans, and "He
Loves Me" by Chadwick. "A Rose
Rhyme" by Salter will be render-
ed by Norah Anne Little.

From the speech department
Pat McManmon will give a read-
ing of the familiar ballad "Bar-
bara Allen" and Barbara Macris
will give her interpretation of
"Lord Randal."

Available Now

Kurt von Schuschnigg, ex-chan-
cellor of Austria and first lecturer
on the Public Lecture association
series this year, comes from Cen-
tral Europe, hotbed of unrest and
terror, to this country for his sec-
ond lecture tour. Dr. von Schus-
chnigg will lecture here on Fri-
day, Oct. 31, at 8:30 p. m.

He is one of the men best qual-
ified to speak on "The Problems
of Central Europe," which will be
his subject when he visits Agnes
Scott. His hair snow white after
seven years solitary confinement
under the Germans, Kurt von
Schuschnigg told Newsweek of his
capture.

"On the afternoon of March
11th, Herman Goring told me on
the telephone that German sol-
diers would march into Austria
within two hours unless I resign-
ed as Chancellor ... at midnight
that night I resigned. What else
could I do?"

Students may obtain their sea-
son tickets to the 1947-48 series
today from the bookstore. They
will be available until four o'clock
October 31, according to Mary
Beth Little, chairman of the stu-
dent committee.

For this first lecture, each stu-
dent may have one guest ticket,
which she may get from the book
store with the season ticket. Sen-
iors who have two parents com-
ing for Investiture week end may
have two guest tickets. Mary
Beth urged that tickets be se-
cured immediately.

LH* Studies
Fire Drills

At Lower House's first meet-
ing of the year, October 16, Mr.
John R. McAuley, the school en-
gineer, discussed fire drill proce-
dure, fire hazards, fire prevention
and demonstrated the use of the
fire extinguishers.

The members of Lower House
will present this information to
the students in hall meetings to-
day.

A planning council was held at
Miss Scandrett's home Friday, and
Nancy Parks, chairman of Lower
House, announced the special pro-
cedure for fire drills decided upon
at the meeting.

Instead of the small hand bell,
the class room bell will be runtf
all aver the campus at the same
time. A system of short rings
will be used which will be the
nearest thing to the sound of
the automatic fire bell.

Fire gongs In the various
dormitories are not to be rung at
any time, not even during fire
drills. They are to be used only
in the event of a fire. There will
be a heavy penalty for any tam-
pering with the bells.

S.G.'s New Theme
Stresses Action

"Do as well as Dream" will be the focal point of Student
government's program this year, Lou McLaurin, chairman of
Exec's program committee announced Monday.

Also on the committee are Marian Yancey, Easy Beale,
Doris Sullivan, and Todd McCain. Lou will present the theme
in chapel Thursday when the stu-

dent body will also hear the com-
mittee's program features for the
remainder of the year.

The poiiit, taken from the idea
of "Do as well as Dream, Be as
well as Seem," has as its object
practice as well as theory, actual
service out of discussion.

Developing the theme along in-
dividual, community, and interna-
tional phases, Miss Eleanor Hut-
chens will open the series, speak-
ing on the phase applying to the
irrdividual in chapel Thursday, Oct.
30.

Triors To Give
Episodic Play

"Pullman Car Hiawatha", an
episodic play by Thornton Wilder,
will be presented in Murphey
Candler by Blackfriars as a work-
shop project, Thursday, Oct. 30.

An experimental play with sub-
stitute props and no scenery,
"Pullman Car Hiawatha" includes
almost the entire membership of
Blackfriars in its cast.

The male parts will be played
by Ned Lukins and Don Elliot of
station WE AS; Alastiar Black,
Carey Barford, Joe Ivey and Ed-
gar Mooneyhan of Atlanta; and
Jimmy Bovven of Decatur. Joe
Ivey and Edgar Mooneyhan who
have worked with the club on
scenery in other plays will be act-
ing in "Pullman Car Hiawatha".

Based on the night experiences
on a pullman train, everything and
everyone from the tramp riding
the rods to the entire Solar System
revolving above the train are in-
troduced. The episodes of an in-
sane eposodic play by Thornton
Wilder, woman accompanied by
her doctor and nurse, a dead wo-
man transported by archangels,
an old maid, a troubled suitor,
and a porter are bound together
by the transitional speeches of
the stage manager.

Scharf Exhibit
Opens Today

The department of art will open
an exhibit of the Scharf collection
of original modern French etch-
ings and lithographs today.

Dr. Robert S. Scharf, now of
Atlanta, and professor in the Uni-
versity System of Georgia, suc-
ceeded in escaping from his native
Austria with this collection of
valuable art treasures by telling
the Nazi border patrol that they
were examples of "degenerate"
art done by Jews.

The group of fifty original prints
includes works by Manet, Dau-
mier, Picasso, Matisse, Renoir,
Lautrec and Kollwitz.

The exhibit will be held in But-
trick 321 until Nov. 5.

AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE. WED. OCTOBER 22. 1947

Merry-go-Round

By Mildred Claire Jones

The clock struck two. Dead silence prevailed, and gradually
a taint rustle could be heard of light footsteps on the stairs.
Following the sound, I found myself on the little quad star-
ing at an assortment of shoes. I looked carefully, and there
was my shoe talking as if she had run all the way. "Just worn
to death. I am behind on practi-

cally all the news."

A tiny black suede shoe spoke
up to say, "The Sigma Chi dance
at Peach tree Gardens was the
highlight of my weekend. Betsy
Deal, Julianne Cook, Margaret
Hopkins, Sally Ellis, Liz Williams,
Jo Culp, Billie Powell, Harriet
Reid, Sister Davis, Sarah Hancock,
Pat McGowan, and Nancy Deal
were there. I heard a shoe near
me say that the Tech SAEs had
quite a time too with Diana Dur-
den, Dot Floyd, Helen Edwards,
Sally Thompson, Jean Osborn and
Margaret Brewer. June Irvine,
Twig Hertwig, Charlsie Smith, Gin
Kay, Butch Hayes, Polly Miles,
Maxine Kickliter, Jean Harper,
B. J. Brown were the lucky girls
dancing with the ATO's.

My brown suede piped up, "Well,
I do know a little. Have you seen
Mary Manly's Phi Delt pin? It's
lovely, and speaking of Phi Delts,
Weezie Durant's ring is gorgeous!
And don't think the freshmen in
our dorm aren't the popular ones.
Andrea Dale, Jean Kline, Betty
HarreU, Mary Love Campbell,
and Martha Mitchell were the cen-
ter of attraction at the Delta Tau
Delta house."

'"But don't think everybody else
Is forgotten after their first year.
Why, Frances Russell and Willa
Wagner were the rage of the PiKA
house, not to mention the good
jooking girls at the ATO house.
They were Janet Quinn, Dot Med-
lock, Jane LeMaster, Martha War-
lick, Joan Mahoney, Margaret
dean, Betty Averill, Page Hut-
i-hmson, Betty Beddingfield, and
Easy Beale," a darling red baby
doll shoe (from second Main) ex-
claimed.

"Speaking of good' times, I am
MB of mustard and all the trim-
mings from that Theta Chi weiner
roast" a slightly beat-up loafer
confided. "They had so much fun.
By "they" I mean Caroline Mc-
Gaughy, Martha Ann Stegar, Car-
olyn Galbreath, Jackie Sue Messer,

Mary Louise W T arlick, Janette
Maddox, Peggy Ann Phelan Su-
san Gauger, and Eliza Pollard."

"Mary Hayes Barber, Joan
Buckner, Virginia Henry, Virginia
Dunn, Julia Cuthbertson, Nancy
Brown, Myrt Mariani, and Sarah
Davis enjoyed the Phi Gamma
Delta cabaret party too. Mean-
while Marg Hunt took Annelle
Simpson and Virginia Arnold home
with her to Griffin."

They went on to discuss the
personalities of several girls on
campus but, fearing that I would
hear myself drawn and quartered,
I hurried away. How do they
know so much!

Pi Alpha Phi

Phi expanded the event into an
all-southern tourney last > year

Champ Tees Off

Play By Play

By Virginia Andrews

Friday afternoon marked the be-
ginning of the '47 hockey season
and the introduction of some in-
novations for the opening game.
Goals were decorated with senior
and soph class colors. The bleach-
ers, too, were roped off for the sen-
iors and sophs with crepe paper
streamers. The colorful decora-
tions, plus the seniors' "Dirge",
made the first game gayer and
more spirited than usual. Inci-
dentally, another bright note of
color was Miss Wilburn's brilliant
red golf cap which was admired
and secretly coveted by at least
half of the spectators.

Jane Sharkey's triumph in the
Atlanta City Golf Tournament
Friday morning added to the ex-
citement at the hockey field that
afternoon. Congratulations, Jane,
everyone here is mighty proud of
you!

Heard about Main: two elderly
and decrepit seniors discussing
and cussing the Blue Horse bikes.
Said one, "I thought it would be
a good idea to get a little exercise
since I'm not taking gym this
year but I never expected to be
lame from it." Said the other,

Jane Sharkey
Wins City Golf
Tournament

Jane Sharkey, golf manager,
added another title to her record
by winning the Atlanta City Golf
Tournament Friday afternoon.
She defeated the favored Mrs.
Grady McDonald 2-up by taking
the last two holes.

The tournament took place un-
der very bad conditions for the
ground was wet during the three
days of play, and Jane was forced
to finish one round in the rain.

Jane stated that her tightest
spot came when she had to win
four straight holes to take the
round. A finalist last year, Jane
qualified second for the Tourna-
ment. This prize was the first City
1 Tournament that Jane has won.

"Either Decatur has to get rid
of some of its hills or A. A. Board
has to add motors to these bikes'*'.
Moral: don't let those Blue Horses
throw you. Ride'em cowboy!

Then there is always the story
about the senior that debated long
and seriously about the relative
merits of going out for hockey or
going down to a reducing studio
to get herself pummeled down.
Question of the day: Is it less ted-
ius to get run down or rolled
clown ?

Tennis Tourney
Ends This Week

The tennis season which opened
Saturday, Oct. 4, is now well un-
der way with the semi-finals and
finals of the doubles tournament
slated to be played off this week.

The top seeded team of Ann Wil-
liamson and Cathie Davis, sophs,
won two sets from juniors, Bob-
bie Cathcart and June Davis (6-1)
(6-3) in the quarter finals. In the
semi - finals they will meet
Lou McLaurin and Hunt Morris.
However since Cathie received a
severe cut on her right arm Fri-
day, it is doubtful if she will be
able to play.

Jessie Carpenter and Mar-
garet Hopkins, the second seeded
team, were upset in the quarter
finals by Martha Willamson and
Nancy Wilkinson (6-3) (6-1). This
team now will meet the freshman
team of Jean Kline and Jimmy
Ann McGee in the other semi-fin-
als match.

Friday Sees Soph Victory,
ight Junioroenior I le

By Eclaire Cunningham

To the strains of the Funeral March sung by the tramping
lines of seniors, the 1947 hockey season began. The juniors and
seniors fought to a one to one tie while the sophs trounced the
frosh four to nothing.

With hockey sticks hooked on their shoulders the seniors
marched out on a field decorated

with flying colors. The north goal
was decorated in blue and white
with "48 Seniors" waving in the
breeze while the south goal was
trimmed in the colors of the'
victorious sophs. The stands were
marked off with the different
class colors.

Junior-Senior Fracas

The junior-senior fracas began
with a bully by centers Tucker
and Newton. This half was char-
acterized by long runs from one
end of the field to the other.
The seniors scored midway in
the period with a drive by Sheely
Little. The senior defense formed
a tight wall to hold the lead and
the half ended 1-0:

The second half was a differ-
ent story. From the opening bul-
ly until the final whistle the ball
was in the senior half of the
field with the exception of one
long run. The seniors, somewhat
winded, were unable to get the
puck out. The juniors made ex-
cellent short passes and long
drives within the striking circle.
Sticks were clicking as everyone
tried to force the puck in or
out. Finally Sally Ellis made one
of her long hard drives good and
the score was tied 1-1. The game
began in the center again but the
story was the same. As the game
ended the juniors were still driv-
ing for the second goal but the
score remained 1-1.

Soph -Frosh Battle

The sophs downed the frosh 4-0
but the frosh weren't as green
in the game as their suits indi-
cated. Many of their players were
veteran hockey stick wielders in
high school. The sophs were on
the march from the beginning.
While the frosh were in there
battling, the first half ended 3-0.
Warlick scored twice and Car-
penter tallied once.

The second half began with the
frosh determined to score. Liz
Ragland, who had started off by
playing center forward, now shift-
ed into the backfield to stop the
soph advance. While the frosh did
not score, they did hold the sophs
to one goal in the, second period
and the score ended 4-0. The
sophs had a fighting team which,
while showing need of smoother
playing, has some good points.
The frosh need more team play
and cooperation that will proba-
bly develop during the season.

Next week sister teams will be
rivals, the seniors playing the
sophs, and the juniors playing the
frosh.

Dek-lt Judges Cite
23 Inman Winner

Jenelle Spear and Dorothy Ann Sullivan, inmates of Room
23 Inman, are winners of the Dek-lt contest, judges disclosed
today.

Runners-up cited with honorable mentions are Barbara
Stainton of Room 23 White House, and Patricia McCarthey
and Mary Caroline Lindsay of

Room 56 Inman.

Plaid bed spreads, fluffy, white
curtains, and clever bulletin
boards are the features which hit
a casual visitor to 23 Inman in
the eye and which obviously
struck the judges just right.

They noted especially that all es-
sentials curtains, cubby hole and
lighting were taken care of.
Everything is in keeping, they ob-
served, and practicality is em-
phasized in the bulletin boards.
The judges also commented on the
evidences in the room of careful
planning and simplicity.

Noted for special features were
six other freshmen habitats. For
femininity, the judges chose Ger-
aldine Keef's and Susan Yarbo-
rough's room, 33 Inman. Cissie
Spiro's abode, 17 White House,
was outstanding for color.

Louise Sandford and Anne Good-
wyn made the most effective use
of white, according to the contest
officials, in Room 8 Gaines. Color
and simplicity make Eliza Pol-
lard's room, 5 Lupton, worthy of
special mention.

Especially restful and neat was
the label the judges had for Room
59 Inman, where Betty Esco and
Therisa Keith live. For arrange-
ment of furniture and good use
of the room itself, decorators of
Room 8 Lupton, Martha Venable
Long and Betty Lee McClain rat-
ed special acclaim.

Judges Miss Charlotte Hunter,
assistant dean; Miss Priscilla Lo-
beck, of the art department; and
Anne Elcan, senior unanimously
agreed that generally they were
most impressed by uncluttered,
unpenanted rooms that gave a
good over-all appearance on first
entering.

Chi Beta Phi
Elects Eight
New Members

Five juniors and three seniors
were elected to membership in
Chi Beta Phi, honorary science
fraternity, at a meeting of the

night, Ruth Bastin Slentz, presi-
dent, revealed.

The new members are Binkie
Stubbs Farris, Dot Quillian, Sally
Ellis, Harriotte Winchester, Tilly
Alexander, June Irvine, Pat Mc-
Manmon, and Anne Henderson.

Members are elected to Chi
Beta Phi who have a good scho-
lastic record and who have shown
an interest in science. The chapter
seeks to stimulate interest in re-
search in the sciences through
monthly programs with either out-
side speakers or student reports.

Faculty Preview
Scheduled Talk
By Schuschnigg

"Kurt von Schuschnigg is a real
world figure, one of the most im-
portant persons that the Public
Lecture association has brought to
the campus," commented Walter
B. Posey, professor of history, in
speaking of the lecturer who
comes to Presser Hall Friday
night at 8:30.

Mrs. Roff Sims of the history
department expressed the hope

Tickets to the Schuschnigg
lecture are still available in the
bookstore, but students must get
them before 4 p. m. Friday. All
the students are entitled to one
guest ticket; seniors with their
parents on campus for the week-
end may have two tickets.

that in telling of his experiences
as chancellor of Austria Dr. von
Schuschnigg will make a real con-
tribution to our understanding of
the situation in which the leaders
of Austria were placed during the
war years and the situation in
Central Europe now.

The man who succeeded Dollfuss
as the Austrian chancellor is said
to have worked for the four years
between 1934 and 1938 in an at-
tempt to preserve Austrian inde-
pendence against Nazi oppression
After many threats, he was com-
pelled by the Germans to resign
his position in 1938.

Schuschnigg Sees Cure For Europe's Ills

In Federation, E vacua f ion Of Foreign Troops

By

"Should present economic and
political conditions last another
year, Austria could not survive,"
Kurt von Schuschnigg, ex-chan-
cellor of Austria, said in an in-
terview yesterday.

Dr. von Schuschnigg, who will
lecture here Friday night, pointed
out that it is impossible to stab-
ilize currency when a country is
not free, and Austria is occupied
by Russia, the United States,
France, and Great Britain.

"All Austrians are in favor of
an unoccupied Austria," he as-
serted, "but, until we have a
guarantee that there will be no
foreign troops on Austrian soil,
it is well that U. S. troops remain."

When asked his formula for
world peace, Dr. von Schuschnigg
said, "Our future depends on
whether the European states can

Germany, he answered that "peo-
ple of the same language are not
necessarily bound to live in the

unite in a loose confederation. The
idea of a Pan-European union is
the only one which offers security
for the future."

He explained that the best so-
lution would include Russia, but,
of necessity, it must include
France and Germany, the key
state in the problem. "You can't
wipe out a nation like Germany,
of 70 million people without hav-
ing the consequences affect the
neighboring states," he continued.

On the other hand Dr. von
Schuschnigg does not favor a cen-
tral European federation. He con-
siders such a plan merely a re-
construction of the old Austrian
Empire. And "with a state as
with an individual, when one is
dead there is no resurrection."

In reply to the query of the
practicality of an anschluss with

same state."

"The economic situation is a
desperate one, almost hopeless,"
Dr. von Schuschnigg conceded,
considering Austria's possibilities
of survival as a free state. How-
ever, he took the optimistic view-
point adding that it can improve.

Factors favoring Austria's sur-
vival include the lack of Com-
munist support. "Austria is not
behind the iron curtain," he af-
firmed.

Moreover the two middle-of-the
road political parties, the Social-
ists and the Popular party are
moving toward the middle line to
make a coalition.

Walter B. Posey, professor of
history, will address the class on

Ideas." President J. R. McCain
will introduce the speaker and
Miss Carrie S. Scandrett, dean of
students, will cap the seniors.

Led by their mascot, Elizabeth;
McCain, grand-daughter of Dr.
McCain, the seniors will proceed
down an isle formed by their sis-
ter class dressed in white.

Unusual Play

Hours will philosophize, watch-
men quote Kipling, fields take in-
ventory, and planets peer down
from their balcony, when "Pull-

scheduled stop at Murphey Cand-
ler, 8:30 p. m. Thursday. This*
episodic play by Thornton Wilder
is Blackfriars' work-shop produ-
tion.

An experiment in both interpre-
tation and staging, "Pullman Car
Hiawatha" will be presented with:
substitute props, no scenery, and
arena staging using the balconies,
as well as the central auditorium.

The experiences of passengers
Reese Newton, Val von Lehe, Joe
Iveys, Polly Miles, Margaret Hop-

Although not a regular produc-
tion, "Pullman Car Hiawatha"' is .
in the series of plays judged for
the cup awarded the best act-
ress and best supporting character
next spring.

AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE, WED. OCTOBER 29, 1947

Merry-go-Round

By Mildred Claire Jones

A thud of falling shoes and a scraping of chairs across
the floor announced to first Inman that second floor had
returned after an interesting weekend. Two girls reclined
unceremoniously in the above-mentioned chairs and began
a steady conversation.

"So tired couldn't move a step.
Let's just sit and talk for a minute.
Wasn't the Citadel dance fun?
Formals all looked so colorful. Did
you see Betty Jean Ellison, Hen-
rietta Johnson, June Driskill, and
Alice Crenshaw? They looked so
good, and so did Babs Young,
Frankie Howerton, Maxine Kick-
liter, Betty Rawls, Gene Wilson,
Barbara Quattlebaum, and Ann
Haden, Wonder how many people
were there? I saw Jane Cook,
Frank Morris, Margaret Knight,
Jean Kline, and Mary Hayes Bar-
ber."

Rah, Citadel!

""And the people at the game! I
remember seeeing Mildred Claire
Jones, Jo Culp, Bobbie Cathcart,
Easy Beale, and Carolyn Wells
sitting on the Citadel side. Margie
Graves, Newell Turner, Anne El-
can, Margaret Anne Richards,
Beth Jones, Mary Hayes Barber,
Mary Louise Warlick, Willa Wag-
ner, Jo Ann Piastre, June Smith,
Jane Ansley, and Reece Newton
were there too," her roommate ad-
ded. "I didn't see them inside but
B. J. Brown, Margaret Yancey,
Adele Lee, Joan Willmon, Har-
riet Reid, Martha June Davis, Ada
Jo Sassen, and Jo Barron were
leaving when we left."

As shoes fell to the floor she
continued, "Steele Dendy, June
Driskill, Betty Wood, Mary Gene
Sims, Dot Stewart, and Virginia
Gordon were there too."

Dances at Tech, Emory

The room showed clearly the re-
sults of a weekend of constant
rushing with no time for straight-
ening up. As the first girl talked
she began to hang up dresses.
"'From all accounts, the Emory

this weekend too. Carolyn Critch-

Sally Bussey, Harriet McGuire,
Floss Hanson, Betty Williams, Ann
Sartain, Sarah Jane Campbell, and
Gene Wilson had a wonderful time
with them."

"Well, let's not forget the ATOs
too. Dot Floyd, Jean Harper, Mar-
tha Warlick, June Irvine, Mar-
garet Glenn, Dot Medlock, Mar-
jorie Major, Ann Gebhart, and
Mary Lou Hatfield assured me
that the party was great. The
Tech brothers did some enter-
taining too according to Anne El-
can, Harriet Reid, Charlotte Bart-
lett, Charlsie Smith, and Betty
Cole." The room was in a stir
now with both girls working as
they talked.

Lots of Thrills

"Isn't it Wonderful about Bar-
bara Waugaman being the Emory
KA sponsor! She must be thrilled
to death. And speaking of thrills,
there were lots of interesting visit-
ors on campus. Helen Edwards had
a friend from Auburn, Jo McCall's
Cecil from University of Alabama,
and Mildred Claire's Cal was here
along with Billy and Juanita. And
parents were here too. Libby
Shontz, Frances Hale, Jane La-
Master, Janette Maddox, Sally
Thompson, Betty Averill, and
Charlotte Key were the lucky
girls."

We Tour Around

The dormitory was quiet now
and the girls lowered their voices;
"Don't you know that Mary Beth
had a wonderful time in New
York! I heard about quite a few
people touring around over the
weekend. Donnie King went to
the Wake Forest Homecoming,
and Mary Helen Phillips went to
West Georgia Homecoming. Am-
and Hulsey went home to Gaines-
ville, taking Ginny Henry and
Myrt Mariani. Virginia Vining,
Frances Russell, Jackie Palmer,
Mable Burchfield, Jane Oliver,

Alice Davidson, Ann Shepard,

The room was clean and the girls

heard that Gretchen Reinartz,

cess.

Along with its study of the
heavens, the club has as its ul-
timate goal to become affiliated
with the Amateur Astronomer's
League. Other projects are to
stimulate interest in the building
of an observatory for the enter-

If you could curse the Fates, the Furies, the Gremlins, or clouds
effectively, I'm afraid that everyone connected with the Gym and
athletics would be doing so. It seems that rainy weather has put a
crimp into all activities down at the Gym this past week. The hockey
game had to be postponed, the tennis doubles tournament has been
put off a week, and the riding classes have not been able to meet.
"Fair is foul and foul is fair" is hardly an apt quotation for this
weather. I ' } '

Anyway, some of the clubs and classes have been able to make
plans for what they're going to do when it does get nice. Among them,
outing club has made some good plans for an overnight hike and
picnic supper to take place the first nice weekend available.

Other plans of the different classes and clubs include more detailed
plans for our swimming meet to be held Nov. 13. And also plans are
being made for the big A. A. Party to be given for the entire college
campus Nov. 15. The theme and general entertainment are a secret
as yet, but from the rumors heard at the last Board meeting, the
party's liable to be the best one yet! Officiating club, too, has decided
upon its class meetings and gotten well into its program.

With all the frantic practicing going on for the coming swimming
meet, Nov. 13, we've seen many girls running around* campus with
wet hair, watering eyes, and a dog-tired look about them. Said one
the other day, "Maybe all the exercise is good for me, but looks like
I'm never dry behind the ears this way!"

One visitor here on campus this weeekend asked if we had
track offered among our other sports. Seems as if our sprints to
the Library before 8:30 a. m. to return reserve books, our sprints to
avoid the 1 p. m. lunch line, and the race at 9:30 a. m. to the mailroom
gave her that idea. Strange, can't imagine why surely very few of us
wear track shoes so we hardly look the part or do we?

If you're looking for a sports
girl of the week who can swim,
sail, canoe, and generally feeL al-
most as much at home in water
as on land, Grace Durant is the
girl for you.

Her home is in Mobile, Alabama,
so during her high school days
swimming, sailing on the Gulf of
Mexico, and canoeing were the
order of the day.

Here at Agnes Scott, she has
represented her senior class in
swimming meet and has taught
both swimming and life saving
classes. She loves to dive, but be-
cause of an injured leg, she has
had to strike diving from her list
of sports activities.

For the past three summers,
Grace has been a counsellor at
Scoutshire Woods, a Girl Scout
camp just outside of Mobile. Serv-
ing as both a unit assistant and
water front director, she has had
enough exciting experiences to fill
a lengthy book. Samples of such
experiences are the horseback
overnight trips into the woods and
the canoe trips along secluded
creeks. She declares that she has
spent many a stormy night under
the "roof" of her canoe.

Next summer when camp is
over Grace and three other coun-
sellors are going to drive to Lake
Michigan, cross the lake, and can-
oe for ten days in Canada. What
an experience she has to look for-
ward to!

Plans Slated
For Georgia
A. A. Meet

The annual conference of the
Georgia Athletic Federation for
College Women will be held at
the University of Georgia in
Athens on Nov. 14-15. The purpose
of the conference is to solve com-
mon problems that confront ath-
letic associations throughout the
state.

Plans for the conference were
made by the Executive council on
Oct. 11 in Athens. Edna Claire
Cunningham represented Agnes
Scott at this meeting.

The theme of the conference is
"Present Enrichment for Future
Community Service". Subordinate
topics to be discussed are "Better
Officiating for Girls' Athletics,"
"College Women's Contribution to
Community Recreation," "Sports
Day D e f i n i t i o n of Desirable
Standards," "Increasing the Num-
ber of Sports for Girls," and ''Phil-
osophy of Awards." After a gen-
eral session of discussions and
welcoming speeches, subordinate
topics under the main theme will
be discussed. Students from the
University of Georgia will lead a
talk on "Better Officiating for
Girls' Athletics". Brenau College
will lead a discussion on "College
Women's Contribution to Com-
munity Recreation". "Sports Day
Definition and Desirable Stand-
ards" will be discussed by Georgia
State College for Women. "In-
creasing the Number of. Sports
for Girls" is the topic taken for
discussion by LaGrange College.
Wesleyan College will talk on "The
Philosophy of Awards." There will
be, in addition, three general ses-
sions. During these general ses-
sions there will be reports on the
National Athletic association and
a report from all the colleges pre-
sent on work accomplished during
the past year.

Registration will begin at 4 p.
m., in the Physical Education
building. Three general sessions,
one business meeting, meals, and
recreation periods compose the re-
mainder of the program.

For Increase
In Awards

Athletic association is pushing
on to a higher goal this year with
a drive for more awards. The reg-
ulations for personal awards are
as follows:

1. Fifty of the sixteen hun-
dred points required for a pin shall
be awarded for citizenship, to be
judged by the Athletic Board and
physical directors.

2. To obtain her pin a girl must
have won points in more than one
sport.

3. Four hundred shall be the
maximum number of points in
hiking counted toward a pin, and
only three hundred toward each
numeral.

4. Twenty-five points for all
active participants in tourna-
ments.

A tennis shield shall be awarded
to the school's champion in tennis
singles and another to the school's
champions in tennis doubles.

The girls winning the archery
and golf tournaments shall receive
cups. Further awards shall , be
given on the basis of games won.
The class having a plurality of
points wins the Athletic Cup.

Plans Proceed
For World Day

Spaniards, Frenchmen, good-
ness-knows-what men and even a
made-to-order white e 1 e ph a n t
from India will invade the campus
Saturday, Nov. 8, when Mortar
Board sponsors a new kind of
community day, a world wide one.

Of course, the foreigners will
really be Agnes Scott's own, dress-
ed in costume, and the elephant,, a
white elephant sale for the benefit
of ' the relief agency care, but a
Spanish play and perhaps a.
French movie will provide the*
needed atmosphere of internation-
alism. The whole campus is in-
vited to attend "Inter-Nation Cele-
bration", but certain organiza-
tions will take definite parts in
its observance. They include Bible
club, Spanish club, French club,.
International Relations club, Chi
Beta Phi and the League of Wo-
men Voters.

Admission to the festivities will
be twenty-five cents or clothing
w hich is in clean and good wear-
able condition, Pagie Violette,
Mortar Board president, disclosed.

Mystery Veils
Srs. Last Fling
At Childhood

Re-interpretation of Little Girls'
Day a la class of '48 throws a veil
of mystery over the senior's tra-
ditional final flight into childhood
Friday.

Accepting the customs institut-
ed over 20 years ago, seniors will
add their particular touch to the
day, chairman of the Little Girls'
Day planning committee, Dabney
Adams, explained.

The innovations will climax a
day begun with use and abuse of
the Little Girls' Day privilege of
awakening everyone at 6:30 a. m.,
sunrise EST (every other stu-
dent's time). The pigtailed and
blue-jeaned class will troop down
to breakfast together.

Following the request to last
year's seniors that all horseplay
be confined to chapel time, no
classroom time may be taken up
by playful brats, and the day ends
after chapel.

Penicillin Treatment
Available For Colds

Dr. Eugenia C. Jones reports
that the infirmary's latest get-
\\ oil-quick formula is the new pen-
icillin throat spray now available
to faculty and students for treat-
ment of fall colds.

Influenza and cold shots are al-
so available as preventives.

Dancers Choose
'Swan Lake'
For Production

The ballet, Tchaikowsky's "Swan
Lake," will be Dance group's first
production of the year, Pinny Rog-
ers, president of the group, an-
nounced.

Agnes Scott's second production
of a full length ballet will be pre-
sented Feb. 4, in Presser Hall. The
ballet is under the direction of
Miss Eugenie Dozier.

Pinny explained that, since the
ballet has not yet been cast, Dance
group members are practicing all
parts. The cast will be much lar-
ger than that of any other ballets
the group has presented. Last
year's production of "Giselle" was
the first full length ballet ever
presented at Agnes Scott.

Science Journal Includes
Miss MacDougall's Paper

A paper on the "Origin of the
Male Gamete of Plasmodium" by
Miss Mary Stuart MacDougall,
professor of biology, appeared in
the June 1947 issue of The Jour-
nal of the National Malaria So-
ciety.

Miss MacDougall has been do-
ing research on the cytology of
malaria parasites for the past
three years. The origin of the
male gamete is one phase of the
life cycle and she hopes to have
complete for publication a paper
on the female gamete some time
this winter.

Cox, Frierson
Tell Faculty
Of Research

H. T. Cox and W. J. Frierson
of the science department report-
ed at faculty meeting on their stu-
dies made during the summer in
the fields of botany and chemistry
under the University Center
grants for research awarded to
them last spring.

Mr. Cox collected during the
course of the summer some 800
stems in Mountain Lake, Va.; in
New York state; at Yale and Har-
vard universities, and in Wash-
ington, D. C. The stems, all of the
same family include such common
types as our azaleas and mountain
laurel.

Through his collection which
may now contain some 1200 stems,
he expects to determine from what
they evolve, where they arose, and
at what period. Mr.' Cox said that
the results of this work are to be
contained in six papers which he
hopes to have ready for publica-
tion by the first of the year.

Mr. Frierson spent his summer
teaching at Emory and working
on the boiling point of organic
compounds at specific pressures.

The nature of this work he ex-
plained is two-fold. He said that
from the results of his experi-
ments, he is attempting to work
out a mathematical formula from
which boiling points at various
pressures can be determined, and
to formulate some basis of com-
parison between the physical pro-
perties and the structures of the
compounds.

Reviewer Cites Kollwitz
Outstanding In Exhibit

By Cama Clarkson

Come see my etchings is an invitation tfiat anyone in the
know would no. The art department has invited the cam-
pus to an exhibition of etchings in Buttrick, but in this case
only those who aren't in the know are turning down the op-
portunity to enjoy first hand some of the finest prints of
contemporary artists.

Among the big-name artists re-
presented are Picasso, Manet, Ma-
tisse, Toulouse-Lautrec, and Re-

noir. The outstanding prints, how-
ever, are by a relatively unfamil-
iar artist, Kaethe Kollwitz.

The Kollwitz prints are easily
^distinguishable because of their
dark values. They express intense
emotion utter grief as in the
"Mother with Dead Son" or mob
riot and violent motion as in the

In explanation of the Robert
A. Scharf collection of original
prints currently on exhibit, H.
C. Forman, head of the art de-
partment has scheduled a brief
talk for 5 p. m. tomorrow in the
art gallery, Buttrick 321.

-"Armory/' Kaethe Kollwitz speaks
m her works as a matriarch; she
expressed maternal sentiments
with masculine directness. There
is no alluring, sophisticated fem-
ininity in her art. She could cry
out truthfully as sympathizer with
downtrodden peoples and as a
bereaved mother.

Of a lighter nature are the Ma-
tisse prints, with their trickling
feminine lines and their curvy

but simple outlines of form. There
are, also, two of Daumier's de-
lightful little scenes of gay young
ladies and middle-aged gentlemen,
charming illustrations of the
French politesse. Toulouse Lau-
trec is represented by some of his
lithographs of one of the Moulin-

probably be of greatest interest.
This print, however, is one of his
earlier works, done in classic
style.

The Scharf exhibit contains the
work of quite a few internationally
recognized artists. It is one of the
most interesting and enjoyable,
and certainly the most valuable
exhibit that will be offered at
Agnes Scott this year.

Archaeologist
Will Lecture
On Nov. 4, 5, 6

Dr. William Foxwell Albright,
internationally known Biblical ar-
chaeologist, will lecture Nov. 4, 5,
and 6 at 7:30 p. m. in Maclean Au-
ditorium.

Lectures, illustrated by slides,
will explain the light shed on dif-
ferent phases of Biblical history
by archaeological expeditions.

Before accepting his present po-
sition as professor of Semitics at
Johns Hopkins university, and dur-
ing several years of his tenure
there, Dr. Albright was director of
Oriental research in Jerusalem.
From there he supervised expedi-
tions into localities of major im-
portance in Biblical history.

His lectures here are made pos-
sible by the Fund for Visiting
Scholars of the University Center
of Georgia. In addition to his Ag-
nes Scott appearances, Dr. Al-
bright will give morning lectures
to students and faculty members
at Columbia Theological Seminary
and at the Warren A. Candler
School of Theology at Emory.

or of Agnes Scott has not been
selected.

The broadcast can be heard at
4:30 p. m. over the CBS network,

Schuschnigg Sees

(Continued from Page 1)

of the possibilities for democratic,
parliamentary government he de-
fined democracy as "free decision
of the people; control by the peo-
ple."

Lincoln's definition of demo-
cracy as "of the people, by the
people, and for the people," he
considered theoretically perfect.
Americans, he added, are willing
to respect the majority.

"The people are not used to find-
ing the golden mean," he explain-
ed and therefore, there is hardly
a real, practical democracy in
Central Europe. In pre-war days
the "minority always had his gun
in his pocket".

As to why, as chancellor, he
was called a dictator by many
people, Dr. von Schuschnigg ex-
plained, "that is the same criti-
cism everybody receives who is
anti-radical. We had no other
choice than to do our best to de-
fend our country. Perhaps our
means were wrong, but I do not
think so."

The ex-chancellor and his wife
were interned in six different con-
centration camps during the war.
Dr. von Schuschnigg said that
since the war he has been back to
Austria only in passing and he is
uncertain as to whether he will re-
turn. If so, he will not re-enter
politics, he asserted. As his rea-
son for coming to the United
States, he stated, "This is the
logical place for displaced per-
sons to come."

Wise Choice

Kurt von Schuschnigg is an unusual person for Lecture as-
sociation to bring to Agnes Scott.

He will be included in all history books which include dis-
cussions of the causes, fundamental and immediate, of World
War II. Most likely he will be spoken of in varying terms of
esteem, because, historically, he will be a subject for con-
troversy.

His actions as chancellor of Austria when the Germans in-
vaded that country have been described as a common sense
method of making the best of a very bad situation. They
have also had Nazi motives ascribed to them.

We do not attempt to categorize Dr. von Schuschnigg or his
motives as "good" or "bad". We do want to approve Lecture
association and its motives in bringing to campus a man like
Dr. von Schuschnigg, a figure of world significance, and a man
about whom no cut and dried conclusions have been reached.

Hearing Kurt von Schuschnigg's discussion of Central
Europe's problems Friday night should prove intellectually
exciting because of the vitality of subject discussed and of
the lecturer himself.

Butterflies Try Wings

Cotillion club's invitation to the formal dance November
22 marks the final break from the cocoon of tradition sur-
rounding no dancing on Agnes Scott campus.

Two years ago when dancing was first inaugurated on
campus the News was asked to can the publicity build up so
that the new privilege might be more easily intergrated into
campus life.

Junior banquet that year marked the first big use of the
privilege. Last year's A. A. town and country party, Junior
banquet, and Junior Joint dispelled any fears of abuse of the
privilege.

But still these functions were titled parties, with dominoes
and cards as added attractions. Cotillion club's tea dance in the
spring pioneered in admitting it was a dance.

The formal in November is an even more ambitious proj-
ect. If it is as successful as it predecessors, dancing on campus
should have earned its wings. The least we can do to voice
our approval of this step forward and to show our mature ac-
ceptance of the new custom is to support the dance whole-
heartedly.

Hunter Works
To Build Idea
OfNewAtlanta

By Jane Alsobrook

Mr. Floyd Hunter has a dream.
The new instructor in sociology
has great and important plans
for Atlanta. As executive director
of the Community Planning coun-
cil, he is playing an active part
in the slum clearance project.

For Atlanta, Mr. Hunter evas-
ions highways and wide streets,
low-cost housing for even the
poorest, parks and playgrounds for
the children and community cen-
ters to provide recreation and in-
terest for all. And this dream is
becoming a reality, for work has
already started on the destruc-
tion and rebuilding of the squalid
dwellings of Clark Alley. Despite
a law suit and lack of help from
the government, the billion dollar
project of a finer Atlanta has be-
gun.

Agnes Scott is Mr. Hunter's
first experience at teaching. But,
as he says, he has had a very ade-
quate preparation for the instruc-
tion of young ladies, for he has
three daughters at home. Recent-
ly, Mr. Hunter has acquired an al-
ly in his six-months-old son.

Up until this year, Mr. Hunter
has been a practicing sociologist.
After he received his degrees from
the University of Chicago, he
worked in social psychiatry at the
Institute of Juvenile Research in
Chicago. This position dealt not
only with children, but with many
kinds of parents. Mr. Hunter
came to Atlanta a few years ago,
and he believes that his city has
a great future, in whjch he would
like to participate.

Mr. Hunter, whose costume
might include hunting boots or
a red scarf worn artist fashion,
is a man of many interests. Be-
sides riding horseback and daubing
in painting, he raised Doberman
pinschers and is an avid collector
of the great classics. He shares
the belief of Hutchens of the Uni-
versity of Chicago, that we must
read the works of the immortals,
before we can live to the fullest.

"If there is one message that I
would like to give to Agnes Scott,"
Mr. Hunter says, "It would be the
theme of the study of sociology.
The world is made up of a great
many different people, believing
and doing a great many things.
It is our duty and purpose to bring
these people together in peace. In
order to do this, we must under-
stand them and help them to un-
derstand us."

Certainly, Mr. Hunter, through
his work, is doing his utmost to
bring about this ideal.

Off the
Copy Hook

Bridge has really taken hold of
the campus. So much so, in fact,
that Betsy Baker, upon hearing
her name called in class quickly
responded, "Pass".

Mr. Stukes, explaining the func-
tions of the brain to his psych-
201 class, remarked that they cer-
tainly did need a new brain in the
psych department. The one we're
using now, he added, is about done
for.

Jessie Hodges, feeling her way
blindly down the hall following a
tough test, bumped into someone
and mumbled a polite, "Pass the
salt, please."

rector, announced.

Slated for presentation Nov. 26

with Polly Miles as Mrs. Tiffany
and Reece Newton, as Millinette,
the French maid. Included in the
cast are Grace Durant as Ger-

Agnes Scott Lost Chords
Begin Harmony Search

By Easy Beale

We, the lost chords of Agnes Scott college, in order to form
a more perfect voice, establish harmony, insure campus rhy-
thm, provide for general concord, and secure the blessings
of musical consonance to ourselves and whoever has to listen,

do proclaim and urge on this campus a choir for the vocally-
unfavored-by-nature-people, here- '

by including both those not read-
ing notes and those unable to
sing them.

These unfortunate few (?)
have cried and the cry has been
heard. Every Wednesday night,
they, in an hour devoted to music,
shall seek the higher realms of
melody, under the direction of
Mrs. Rebekah Clarke. The choir,
however, is exclusive. A necessary
prerequisite is wanting to sing.
So, if you're a murderer of the
king's (Dieckmann, that is) mu-
sic, come and tune up your at-
tempts at high C.

"Clarke's - not - so-larky-larks"
(suggested title for the new
choir) will meet in the choir
room after dinner tonight. No
longer need you duck your head
in chapel and mutter while music
majors bellow, or fear lifting up
your voice in any group singing.
On this campus it shall never be
said that only she who singeth
a la Pons becometh of the choir.

All classes are invited to join
this unique (undoubtedly) choir.
With spirit, practice, and enthus-
iasm, who knows, this group may
go Metropolitan ?

Seniors Hear
Posey, Albert

Addresses by Walter B. Posey,
professor of history at Agnes
Scott, and Allen D. Albert, pro-
fessor in the Emory University
Sociology department, highlighted
traditional services of Investiture
weekend. Gaines chapel was the
scene of both programs.

Speaking before a large group
assembled for the capping exer-
cises Saturday, Mr. Posey, warn-
ed that the United States "is at
the crossroads of history."

Mr. Posey pointed out the var-
ious views of the world outlook,
questioning the truth of those
which suggest that men's faith is
declining with time.

What we need at this time, he
pointed out, is a re-affirmation of
faith in democracy, and the escap-
ist's attitude is a threat to this
democratic way of life.

"The reason for believing in
man is still good," Mr. Posey con-
tinued, "and although we may
doubt that we are equal to the
task, if we follow the guide of the

S. G.'s Drive
ForCommunity
To Open Man.

With the slogan, "If Everone
Gives, Everyone Benefits," the
campus Community Chest drive
for students begins Monday, Nov.
10 and will close Saturday at noon,
co-chairman Tina Hewson an-
nounced.

Last year the campus contribut-
ed five hundred dollars to the
Community Chest fund through
World Service council. "That is
our quota for this year," Tina ex-
plained, "But our actual goal we
are asking you to set and make."

Sponsored by Student govern-
ment, this campaign which sizes
local needs is the first of the
three separate drives taken over
by major campus organizations
since World Service council's de-
mise. Easy Beale, treasurer of
Student government, and Tina
Hewson are heading the drive.

Tina emphasized the impor-
tance of the individual in plan-
ning to meet his civic responsibili-
ties under the new system for
making contributions, which does
not, as World Service council, or-
ganize for him. "We hope to make
it easy, through individual con-
tacts and well distributed boxes,
for you to make your contribu-
tions," Tina stated.

"There is no corner of the world
that can escape the label, the need
is tremendous. Through wise, care-
ful, and unselfish planning we can
do our part to remove the label,"
she pointed out.

Thursday's assembly will fea-
ture a speaker who will cite spe-
cific problems which Community
Chest funds are used to solve.

The trend of thought is directed this week toward things
international as final plans for world wide community day-
Saturday, Nov. 8, are announced by Mortar Board.

The Inter-nation Celebration, at which Agnes Scott's foreign
students will be special guests, is slated to begin immediately
fter lunch. It will consist of two
main parts. First, a series of ex-
bitions, skits, and dances by the
'arious clubs on campus and by
groups from Atlanta will be pre-
sented in the gymnasium, and
second, competitive games will
be held in Murphey Candler.

In order that all those attend-
ng may participate in both
phases of the celebration, the pro-
gram in the gym will be present-
ed 'twice during the afternoon,
and the games in Murphey Cand-
ler will be in progress continu-
ously.

A Swiss dance with audience
participation, led by Mary Manly
and Gene Wilson, is the first at-
raction on the agenda. Next will
be a Spanish club skit, after
which Mrs. Elizabeth Williams,
ormerly of Agnes Scott, will per-
orm the national dance of Mex-
co. The Hawaiian Hula, danced
by Miss Eugenie Dozier of the
h y s i c a 1 education department
vill follow.

Exhibition folk singing will be
ffered by a group led by Cissie
S p i r o , freshman. Representing
Greece will be a group of eight
girls from the Sigma Alpha Delta
sorority of Atlanta, in a Greek folk

Debate Bout Bids
Draw Acceptance
From 3 Colleges

University of Florida, Univer-
sity of South Carolina and Geor-
gia Tech have accepted bids to
the Nov. 22 All Southern Inter-
collegiate Debate Tournament ac-
cording to Dot Porter, Pi Alpha
Phi president.

Florida's almost irrefutable ar-
guments and smooth-paced debat-
ing style captured the tournament
for their affirmative last year. Not
only did the 'Gators take the
tournament but also placed first
and third in individual debating
awards.

South Carolina's teams offered
stiff competition and one of the
Tech men tied for third place in-
dividual honors.

As a preliminary to tryouts for
the Agnes Scott intercollegiate
teams, argumentation classes pre-
sented a debate on the tourney
subject for the club Thursday.

Professors Attend
History Convention

Members of the history depart-
ment, Walter B. Posey, professor,
and Mrs. Roff Sims, associate pro-
fessor, will attend a meeting of
the Southern Historical associa-
tion in Savannah Nov. 13-15. Both
Mr. Posey and Mrs. Sims have
been asked to lead discussions at
the meeting.

Mr. Posey addressed the Men's
club of the First Presbyterian
church in Decatur Friday night.

Sharf Reviews
Etching Exhibit

The art department presented
Dr. Robert S. Sharf in a gallery
talk concerning his famous col-
lection of lithographs and etchings
Thursday afternoon.

Dr. Sharf termed modern art as
a kind of art in which cooperation
between the artist and observer
is pertinent and emphasized the
importance of understanding this
art. In relating his experiences, he
told how the prints escaped de-
struction in his flight from Aus-
tria. Dr. Sharf explained that he
told the Nazis the works were ex-
amples of ''degenerate art done by
Jews."

Kaethe Kollwitz, whose works
are featured in the present art
exhibit, was cited by Dr. Sharf
as the greatest woman artist ever
to exist.

Budget Slices
Publications'
'47 Allotments

In the final balancing of Stu-
dent government's 5,300 dollar
budget six organizations have
been cut in percentage, one re-
ceives an increase, and nine re-
main unchanged from the tenta-
tive budget announced last week
by Student government's Treasur-
er Easy Beale.

All campus publications receiv-
ed a reduction from the tentative
allotment but, except for the
hand book which was cut one-
half per cent, each receives an
increase over last year. Christian
association's and Student govern-
ment's percentages have also been
lowered one-half per cent,

Social Standards, included for
the first time in the budget, adds
one-half to the expected amount.

These changes leave a reserve
of IV2 per cent for the two quar-
ters, a total of $26.50 for the first
quarter.

In the official budget announced
this week organizations receive the

AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE, WED. NOVEMBER 5, 1947

Merry-go-Round

By Mildred Claire Jones

The door stood open, so she walked into a small room filled
with pictures. The sign outside had said that these pictures
would bring back college days. As she looked at the first
one a flood of memories rushed over her, for it showed a girl
in cap and gown.

"I'll never forget that day," she
mused. "It was Investiture, the
first real thrill of being a senior.
So many visitors came that day.
I remember that June Driskill,
Margaret Anne Richards, Pris
Hatch, Tina Hewson, Sister Davis,
Flo Bryant, Mae Comer Osborne,
Myrt Mariani, Beth Jones, Tee Toe
Williams, Eclaire Cunningham,
Maxine Kickliter, and Lady Major
had parents here for the big oc-
casion. Weezie and Grace Durant's
mother and grandmother came,
and so did Mary Gene Sims' fam-
ily and Clay. Harriet Reid's sis-
ter, B. J. Brown's mother, Har-
riet Gregory's mother, Bob Blair's
mother, Dabney Adams' mother,
Zollie Saxon's mother, and Mil-
dred Claire Jones' mother were
here too. The campus fairly rang
with excitement when Susie
Pope's Jack came and they became
engaged."

Costume Ball

She moved on to the next pic-
ture which showed a group of peo-
ple in fancy costumes dancing.
"That same weekend the ATOs
at Tech had a big costume party.
I can see Twig Hertwig running
around now in that gray cat cos-
tume. Others who enjoyed the par-
ty were Margaret Anne Richards,
June Irvine in a sailor costume,
Charlsie Smith as a jockey, Mimi
Mitchell, Kate Elmore, Charlotte
Evans, Pat Hampton, Nancy Huey,
and Butch Hayes as Moonbeam
McSwine.

"One of the boys in the Costume

Delt friend of mine. Oh, yes, the

Across the room was a study in
black and orange, obviously a gala
Hallowe'en party. "Every fratern-
ity went all out for celebration
that year," she continued to say
to herself. "Willa Wagner and
Sarah Hancock enjoyed the PiKA

(Continued from page 1)
democratic way of life and the
principles of Christianity, we can
once again "light the lamps of the
world."

Mr. Posey's address followed an
academic procession of faculty,
administration, and seniors. Cli-
maxing the program was the cap-
ping of 114 seniors by Dean of
Students Carrie Scandrett.

The Investiture exercises con-
tinued Sunday, with services in
Gaines chapel. Dr. Allen D. Al-
bert stressed the place of impor-
tance in business that tomorrow's
women will hold.

In the future, he stated, the
great majority of women will be
working on an equal basis with
men. Their position is different,
however, in that while men have
had millions of years to establish
themselves in a world of business,
women have had only two genera-
tions. He listed the dangers to
business women as individuals as
the tendency to become callous
and harsh; the failure to compete
on a completely fair basis with

By Floss Hanson

"Seen at the hockey field: the two budding young officials Doc Dunn
and Lady Major reviewing the rule book just before a practice game.
The major point under discussion is how to hold the official's whistle.

Speaking of practice games, the one Friday showed a lot of up
and coming talent for the class teams. The frosh gave the soph-jun-
ior team a rough and tumble battle.

The freshmen seem to have a secret admirer. There was a very
conspicuous male voice in the frosh cheering section.

Just looks like the tennis tournament doesn't want to end. The
semi-finals have been postponed again, this time due to that good
ale Atlanta dew.

However, despite the rain, or perhaps to spite it, A. A. Board has
been making plenty of plans for the future sunny weather or somber.
Bunny Brannon and E. Claire Cunningham have been chosen as re-
presentatives from Agnes Scott's Athletic association to the Conven
.tion of Georgia Athletic associations the weekend of Nov. 14.

Another set of plans is going into action for an A. A. Open House
on Nov. 15. This is to be given instead of the usual annual all-campus
party given by the Board. The Gym Open House on the 15th will
last from 8 p. m. to 10 p. m. All girls are invited for an evening of swim-
ming, ping pong, basketball, volleyball, bridge, and refreshments
Committee heads are Grace Durant, swimming; Val von Lehe, ping
pong; Julianne Cook, basketball and volleyball; Harriet Lurton,
faridge; and Bunny Brannon, Marie Cuthbertson, and Sheely Little,
refreshments.

Other plans for the future include an Archery Tournament dur-
ing the week of Nov. 22-29. It will be an intramural tournament.
Archery class managers are to be announced soon.

Jrs, Srs Capture Hockey Victories

Sister classes met in two clashes
Friday. The seniors beat the sophs
2-0 and the juniors bested the
frosh 6-4 in a scoring spree.

In the senior-soph fracas the
seniors made a goal early in the
first period and maintained this
lead to the half. Though the puck
stayed on the soph side most of
the first half and the seniors made
repeated attempts they were un-
able to score again. The sophs
seemed to keep that puck out of
the goal box.

In the second half the sen-
iors again scored and the game
ended with a 2-0 score. The sophs
were a serious threat only twice
during this period. While they
played hard they were beaten by
a superior, more experienced sen-
ior team.

Lady Major, senior manager
and center halfback, was skirting
the field interrupting the sophs of-
fensive. She together with the

other senior defensive players kept
the sophs from scoring.

Last Friday the big sisters of
the freshman class downed them
6-4. It was a thrilling game that
showed off the power of the jun-
ior forward line. After the half
the frosh came back on the field
and showed that the battle was
not over. By the end of the first

half, Sally Ellis had broken
through the frosh line three times
for scoring points, and Bobby
Cathcart scored once.

During the last half Sally Ellis
scored two more times for the
juniors, while the freshmen gave
them real competition by scoring
four times. Jenelle Spear tallied
once for the frosh, and Liz Rag-
land ran up three more points to
make the final score; juniors, 6,
and frosh, 4.

Our Cause, Our Drive 'Pullman' Play

Tests Skill
Of 'Friars

About this time last year World Service council was plead-
ing with us to support the budget we had voted to accept.
Rumors and murmurs were flying that the budget was ac-
cepted by a minority. The "I didn't vote, so why should I
give" idea was prevalent.

As a result World Service council was unable to fulfill its
pledges. In the spring we voted again. This time to dissolve
WSC and individually to accept the responsibility for sup-
porting many drives instead of one.

Community Chest drive serves local aid and charities. At-
lanta is our home for four years and what happens to the
city affects every phase of our lives. Contribution to Com-
munity Chest gives us a chance to cease being women with-
out a city and to become a part of the citizenry.

Community Chest drive is our first chance to keep the
faith. Or will we start to gripe about "all these drives" and
"I don't live here" again?

A Squared Technique

From the third birthday on, most children are taught to
say they had fun at the party. After all, it's not such a bad
idea since somebody has played host and made a stab at
brightening the corner. The practice also, as most children
someday learn, is a nice procedure in case there are other
parties.

A member of the staff of the Technique departed from
this time-honored and generally accepted custom last week.
Peglar, Junior reports that he roved over here for the
freshman barn dance and just got took. In return for his most
charming presence all he got was a lou sy time.

Poor boy.

The girls, he says, had buck teeth. And the stupid things
probably flashed them in another direction, too.

The dance, he comments sagely, was for squares. With his
profound knowledge of social etiquette, our master of the
barbed insult should have felt like the guest of honor.

"On to the nurse's dance at Emory!" is his parting cry. We
wish him Godspeed.

For a first attempt at "arena"
staging, the first drama of the
year, and a production of a Thon-
ton Wilder play, the Blackfriars'
production of "Pullman Car
Hiawatha" was well done. Be-
cause of all these considerations,
the play was extremely interest-
ing.

From a cast that included every
member of Blackfriars, and seven
men, imported, Reese Newton,
Polly Miles, Ned Lukens, Weesie
Durant, and Grace Durant stand
out with performances which
were especially memorable.

The insane woman in Com-
partment three, was convincing
enough to leave the audience with
no doubt of her destination. Reese
rated the comment from the side-
lines after her performance, "nat-
ural state or not, our crazy wo-
man was really crazy!"

Polly Miles as the maiden lady
in lower one, Ned Lukens of
WEAS as the porter, Weesie Du-
rant as the stage director, and
Grace Durant as the young wife
who dies en route, were impor-
tant reasons why the production
was a dramatic unit instead of

an unidentifiable p r o t o p 1 a smic
mass of humanity and the uni-
verse.

Planets, hours, angels, field,
towns, and human beings played
their parts well enough to se-
cure from the audience a "willing
suspension of disbelief" which
lasted with few breaks for the
production's 30 minutes. It's quite
a feat to be convincing as Park-
ersburg, Ohio, or as Twelve
o'clock, or as any character when
one has only about five lines of
script in which to do it.

For that very reason "Pullman
Car Hiawatha" was an excel-
lent choice for experimental pro-
duction and a good play to open
the workshop series.

UNCLE SAM PORTER

Miss M. MacDougall Praises
Seemingly Useless Knowledge

"Ceaseless quest for truth often leads to what at the mo-
ment seems to be useless knowledge," Miss Mary Stuart
MacDougall, professor of biology, declared in her address to
Mortar Board in their recognition service Saturday, but, she
added, "seemingly useless knowledge is often of fundemental
importance."
Illustrating

the point of the
''usefulness of useless knowledge"
Miss MacDougall gave examples
from her life and from the field
of science. 'There are many men
and women now at work in var-
ious fields of learning earnestly
seeking the answers to many rid-
dles," she said.

None of these people are inter-
ested in the practical value of
their research but Miss MacDou-
gall asserted that "from their
work will come some of the great-
est blessings to mankind." As ex-
amples she mentioned the inven-

Blackfriars Go All Out For 'Fashion'

tion of the radio and the under-
standing of the atom.

She pointed out that discourage-
ments will come often and re-
cognition seldom but she conclud-
ed, "One can ignore the lack of
fulfillment of one's dreams if there
is interesting work to do."

"I know of nothing more satis-
fying than to come through a long
period of creative or constructive
work and find even a partial an-
swer to the questions one is seek-
ing," Miss MacDougall affirmed
as the reward of quest for know-
ledge.

By Norah Anne Little

Upstairs, downstairs, in every
part of Presser, Blackfriars are
preparing for their five act play,
"Fashion" to be presented Nov. 26
in Gaines.

"On stage, everybody, we're go-
ing to start Act Four. Places!"
Miss Roberta Winter clapps her
hands in faint imitation of the
hammer blows coming from the
set builders in the basement.

The polka and minuet dancers
on the left stop laughing, turn
off the victrola, and eventually all
the actors arrive on the stage.

"Alright, Polly, get your place
and begin rip out cut canvas in

the background with act four."

"Quiet, let's get started, girls
and gentlemen."

"Excuse me," utters Anne Elcan
chief of the set builders, "May I
describe the set? This", pointing
to the back wall, "is the supper
room, and this," making a circle
in the air, "is the drapery. Reesie!
Wait, you just ran into the hall!
Here," pointing to the left, "is the
door Do you think four feet will
be wide enough for their dresses,
Miss Winter?"

"Now," sighing, "if we all un-
derstand the set, shall we pro-
ceed? The play is in two weeks,
you know."

The hammers are muffled by
gasps of dismay. "Are we ready?
Where is the count? Count,
COUNT, on stage."

"The count isn't here tonight,"
a male voice murmurs from back-
stage.

The play proceeds backwards
through the acts, and it is learn-
ed that Mrs. Tiffany, Polly Miles,
is trying to make an impression
on New York society of the Mid-
Victorian era. This she does with
her faked French accent and to
the dismay of her bankrupt hus-
band. With a "unik ah review.''
she forsakes everything for "Fash-
ion."

Friday Assembly
To Feature
Music, Readings

Vocal and instrumental rendi-
tions, readings and ballads will
again be featured on the second
of the six joint presentations pro-
duced by the speech and music de-
partments of Agnes Scott. The
program will be held Friday, Nov.
14 at regular assembly time.

Friday's program will include
a request performance of "List
the Cherubic Host", from Gaul's
"The Holy City" by the college
Glee Club, assisted by W. A. Cald-
er, of the physics department,
harpist, and P. L. Garber, of the

and began their task of circulat-
ing the "walking boxes" to re-
ceive donations. Deadline for con-
tributions is Saturday noon.

To help stimulate thought on
the subject of the fund, Francis
M. Osteen, volunteer worker on
the Speakers' Bureau for Com-
munity Chest, will speak in Thurs-
day's assembly. Mr. Osteen will
give concrete examples to indi-
cate where donations to the drive
go and how they are used.

Under the direction of Co-Chair-
men Easy Beale, Student govern-
ment treasurer, and Tina Hewson,
house president of Gaines, this
year's drive has no set goal. The
amount given last year, five hun-
dred dollars, is the minimum ex-
pected. Tina stated that Exec is
anticipating a much larger student
contribution this year.

No amount has been pledged,
but each student has the respon-
sibility of considering the needs
of the 33 organizations supported
by Community Chest and deter-
mining the size of her own do-
nation. Eleven girls will carry
boxes with them each day to make
sure that a place for depositing
contributions is always available.

A poster in Buttrick lobby will
hr.ve a blank feather which, as it
is colored red, will indicate the
progress of the drive.

Play by Play

By Ginny Andrews

""Rain, rain go away;" etc., etc. Another hockey game shot. Well,
Sandy Truslow is getting greyer and greyer, and the hockey season
is looking bleaker and bleaker, but I guess we'll still have to support
the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce, the Weather Man, and that de-
licate mist around these hyar parts known as rain.

Another reason for our grey looks down at the gym and the general
air of bleakness, is that the past week Miss Wilburn was sick and
out for a while. Here's hoping that it's a short illness and that by
the time this paper goes to press she will be feeling much, much bet-
ter.

The tennis club's doubles tournament is scheduled to be played off
this week. In the semi-finals now are Lou McLaurin and Hunt Morris
against Cathie Davis and Ann Williamson, and Jeanelle Spear and
Jimmie McGee against Nancy Wilkinson and Mary Williams.

Despite the rain this past week, Saturday proved to be a beautiful
day and quite an active one down at the gym. Notable was the Inter-
nation Celebration with all its excitement. And if the celebration it-
self wasn't enough exercise and excitement, the activity before it
surely was! Fourth Main will testify to the amount of commotion that
occurred up there the night before to the sound of one Mexican record
and a very loud victrola. The question seems to be: was that danc-
ing, stomping, or exercise the hard way?

Archery Manager, Binkie Stubbs Ferris, has announced the class
managers for archery this year. They are: Pinkie Pettit, freshman;
Nancy Wilkinson, sophomore; Charlsie Smith, junior; and Susan
Daughtery, senior.

The Georgia Athletic Federation of College Women is having its
convention this weekend, Nov. 14-16. E. Claire Cunningham, council
representative for G. A. F. C. W., and Bunny Brannon have been
chosen to represent Agnes Scott there.

Another big plan in the offing for those frustrated hockey players
is a tea to be given soon. On Nov. 21, after the hockey game, a tea
-will be given either in Murphey Candler or in the Gym. Varsity and
sub-varsity players, class teams, and all those who come out for the
sport will be welcome. Virginia Tucker and Binkie Stubbs Ferris
will be in charge of it. This will be first in a series of sports get-
togethers at the end of the season.

EC I aire Wins
Athlefic Fame
At Early Age

By Frankie Francisco

With a flying leap Eatonton's 13
year old future tennis champ sail-
ed over the tennis net as the pho-
tographer snapped her for the
Macon Courier. Edna Claire Cun-
ningham was starting her ath-
letic career at an early age. E-
Claire modestly admits, "my three
brothers are the real cause of my
interest in athletics."

At the beginning of her four
years at Agnes Scott, she had al-
ready become a veteran athlete.
For, as the sun started to warm up
each summer for the past seven
years, EClaire has packed up
and gone off to camp; a camper,
five years, and two years, a coun-
sellor. As a senior in high school
she won a gold basketball for
playing on the district all-star
team.

Ever since she arrived at Agnes
Scott, EClaire has kept the pre-
sent senior class on top in all the
sports. She was frosh basketball
captain, and as a sophomore, she
won the cherished "hockey stick"
and was manager of the basketball
team.

Last year she fought her way
through to the badminton semi-
finals, but the climax of her jun-
ior sports was winning the first
A. A. pin in her class. She was
News representative of A. A. and
as a junior became assistant sports
editor of the News. This year she
is a state officer of Georgia Ath-
letic Federation of College Wo-
men.

At present her foremost in-
terest is in "out-door weiner roasts'
with Glenn, whether it rains or
not." Of course, this is strictly
confidential!

Class Teams Splash
In Pool Tomorrow

On Nov. 13, sister classes will clash in the first of the in-
tramural swimming meets planned for this school year. Un-
der the supervision of Miss Margery Lyon, gym director, and
Grace Durant, swimming manager, individual class managers
have been directing class practices during plunge periods for

the past two weeks.

Cissie Spiro, freshman. In case
Cissie is not out of the infirmary
by Thursday, Twig Hertwig will
act as freshman swimming mana-
ger. As yet line ups are not com-
pleted but promise much variety.

The program consists of form
demonstration, racing, exhibition
diving, and a water-polo game.
Two girls from each team will
demonstrate the breast stroke, the
side overarm, and the inverted
breast stroke. One girl from each
class will participate in a 40-yard
free style dash, and the teams will
compete in a 60-yard medley re-
lay composed of racing back, the
butterfly breast, and the crawl.

The exhibition diving will be in
two parts, intermediate and ad-
vanced. Front and back dives will
be required of the intermediate
divers; they will also have an
option of two dives. Advanced div-
ers will perform front and back
dives, front jacks and gainers.
They, too, will have an option of
two dives.

The water-polo game is some-
thing new on the program and

AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE, WED. NOVEMBER 12, 1947

Cop That Cup

"Got the spirit, kind that never fails us." So goes the refrain
of one of the class songs. And when a big event like Black
Cat or song contest or presentation of class spirit cup comes
along every class joins in heartily to "prove it, too".

Class spirit is made up of a lot of not quite so big events
too, like supporting your class every week at hockey games,
and working on class projects like directory, Christmas cards,
and magazine sales, and now swimming meet.

At present attendance at hockey games is the best way to
express your natural wim, wigor, and witality for ye olde
class. And swimming meet offers another chance to get out
and sink or swim, survive or perish for glory of the group.

Fall afternoons smell like hockey and even if i you per-
sonally get winded trotting from dorm to classes, it's a thrill
to watch them take the puck down the field. So come on out,
and yell while racking up a few points for the cup.

Tonic For Social Apathy

Too many self-constructed and group-constructed walls
exist in campus society. In a homogeneous gathering of peo-
ple, split by no social sororities, static groups have no ex-
cuse for being. '

One such group division is that between day students and
boarders. Characterized by indifference, not bad relations, it
has its basis in geography. Boarders are here at night; day stu-
dents aren't. But almost all day every day both groups are en-
gaged in the same all-absorbing process, that of getting edu-
cated a la Agnes Scott.

Logically, it seems that the ties that bind are stronger than
the differences which separate.

Lower House is giving parties each week to bring day
students and boarders together in small, intimate gatherings.
They appear tfce best medicine prescribed by any organiza-
tion for the apathy of the social relationship between the
two groups- Beyond that, the individual must be his own doc-
tor.

A comment oft spoken in the game of "do you know,"
is "I don't know her; she must be a day student," or "she must
be a boarder," may, with a little effort, become obsolete this
quarter.

Archaeology
Faces Trials,
Dr. Albright

"These are bad times* for ar-
chaeology," Dr. William Foxwell
Albright, professor of Semitic
languages at Johns Hopkins uni-
versity, declared in an interview
Thursday night just before leav-
ing to fly to New York. From there
he plans to take a plane to Da-
mascus as archaeological advisor
to the African expedition of Uni-
versity of California.

Dr. Albright, who for the past
week has been lecturing on cam-
pus on Biblical archaeology, ex-
plained that it was difficult to
dig in foreign countries because
of disorder resulting from the war
and the desire of countries to re-
tain archaeological matter for
their own scholars. He added that
the work is expensive and that
at present raising money for ex-
peditions is very hard.

In answer to a question as to
whether he foresees a trend tow-
ard increased interest in archae-
ology similar to the apparent in-
crease in the geological field, he
replied in the negative. "Archae-
ology has not the economic ad-
vantages of geology," he said, cit-
ing for an example the discovery
of oil and coal in strata.

Son of a missionary of Coquimbo,
Chile, Dr. Albright first became
interested in archaeology at the
age of eight when he came across
some books on the subject in his
father's library.

Educated in this country he re-
ceived his Ph. D. in Semitic lan-
guages from Johns Hopkins Uni-
versity in 1916. Receiving a fel-
low at the American Institute of
Oriental Research in Jerusalem in
1919, he was appointed acting di-
rector in 1920 and the following
year was made director. Sixteen
years were spent in excavation in
Palestine. Returning to the United
States in 1936 he has been pro-
fessor at Johns Hopkins since 1938.
On- his present expedition to
Egypt he hopes to work in' Sinai
in collaboration with Egyptian
scholars on historical archaeology.

Visiting the museum at Emory
university Thursday afternoon,
Dr. Albright translated some tab-
lets of Semitic languages not
translated for at least 25 years.

Kissling Ends
Series Tonight

Dr. Albert Kissling, pastor of
the Riverside Presbyterian church
of Jacksonville, Fla., will climax
his series of lectures on "What
Is This Thing Called Religion" fol-
lowing dinner tonight at 6 p. m.
in Glenn Memorial church.

"All Agnes Scott students are
invited to attend, particularly
Presbyterian students", announc-
ed Angie Anderson, president of
the Presbyterian student group.

Pastor of the Riverside Presby-
terian church for the past 15
years, Dr. Kissling is widely
known in religious circles here and
abroad. He has spent much of his
time abroad studying at the Uni-
versity of Berlin, Tubingen Uni-
versity of Edinburgh. He delivered
the baccalaureate address at Ag-
nes Scott's commencement last
spring.

Dr. Kissling will be on the Em-
ory campus throughout Religious
Emphasis Week Nov. 8 to Nov. 13.

Cabbages and Kings

By Mary Beth Little

Once upon a time there was a week when nothing happen-
ed at Agnes Scott. Everything hung in static suspension, im-
mobile expectancy. Nary a small twig cracked.

Feather Drive
Totals $291

Despite the efforts of Exec and
Lower House members to stim-
ulate campus enthusiasm and pro-
vide ample opportunity for con-
tributions to the Community
Chest fund, voluntary donations
brought only a blush of 291 dol-
lars instead of the hoped for min-
imum of 500 dollars to Agnes
Scott's red feather.

The faculty gave 1300 dollars.
Contributions averaged less

than 50 cents per student at Stu-
dent government's final counting
Monday night of the "walking
boxes" contents, co-chairmen Tina
Hewson and Easy Beale reported.

Opening Monday, Nov. 10, with
a presentation of red bird's plea
for voluntary support the drive
continued through the week with
an address by Mr. Francis M. Os-
teen, volunteer worker on the
Speakers' Bureau for Commun-
ity Chest, in assembly Thursday.

day at noon will not be extended.

Players Plan
For ^Fashion
Presentation

With a backdrop of painted
windows, mantle pieces, and all
furniture not actually used, Black-
friars is whipping into shape their
first major production of the year,
"Fashion" by Anna Cora Mowatt,
for presentation Nov. 26 in Gaines
chapel.

An authentic mid-Victorian
comedy in five acts, "Fashion"
centers around the attempts of
a "nouveau riche," Mrs. Tiffany
played by Polly Miles, to marry
off her daughter to Count Joli-
maitre, Raymond Hersh, formerly
of the University of Florida Play-
ers.

Members of the Tiffany family
will be Prudence, Pat MacMan-
mon; Seraphina, Barbara Macris;
Miliinette, Reese Newton, and
Gertrude, Grace Durant.

Bobby Powell of the Georgia
Evening college will appear in
the role of Adam Treuman; Lewis
Dodson, formerly of the Nashville
Little Theater,- Will play Mr. Tif-
fany. The secondary villian, Snob-
son, will be played by Homer Rob-
ertson, known for his radio work
in Atlanta. Alastair Black, who
appeared in "Pullman Car Hia-
watha" will be cast as Twinkle,
a versifier, and Don Elliot of sta-
tion WEAS will portray Gogg.

Zeke, the Tiffany butler will be
played by Jackson McBride, actor
and radio worker, and Gerard
Rothchild of the Emory Players
will be seen as Col. Howard.

Dancing Dollies Revel
In Fall Formal Furor

By Cathie Davis

Neither the rain nor afternoon quiet hours had daunted
the spirit of those serene individuals who keep Second Re-
bekah an ever popular subject of conversation on Fraternity
Row and in Exec meetings.

Gathered as usual in the spot closest to Bob Blair's feet,
(she occupies the room directly

above) each Rebekahite was in
dustriously at work. Some were
playing bridge, . others sat with
stationery boxes bulging with un-
written-on-paper and unanswered
letters.

A conscientious few in their
rendition of "Twelfth Night" were
giving Barter Theatre Players no
cause for professional anxiety.
Dummy was furiously twisting
knobs on a burnt out radio, at-
tempting to decrease the volume
on an unnoticed one on top so
that the person carrying on the
interesting phone conversation
might be saved a report to the
group.

This was the attitude a day or
three ago when the person on our
hall who knew definitely whom
she was inviting to Cotillion's
dance burst into the room.

It was her idea to exchange
dances for her date before choice
of partners was limited. Calm was
disrupted. To three wings girls
scurried in search of dance pro-
grams bought for undecided upon
escorts, or for change to make a
quick purchase of a program. Min-
utes later all reassembled.

Over one's own chatter one

could hear "Is he cute? Could I
wear heels?" and answers like
"Oh is he real cute? I want to
swap two with you."

Pandemonium reigned as too
many people swapped too many
dances. "My number five is taken.
Now if Jo would change her five
with Sarah, who can swap with
Ann on the twelfth we could oh,
no we couldn't."

Some far-sighted individual sug-
gested, "Ask that senior to let
you have one of hers; she's going
to bring the best looking boy!"
and ad infinitum.

With no more mention of dia-
monds unless someone's finance
was coming, nor further thought
for "Twelfth Night's" Andrew or
Toby unless someone's date bore
the name, all were arranging and
re-arranging programs. Often re-
sults were just short of disastrous.
For instance there was one gen-
erous soul with a handsome and
sought after escort who ended
with no dances for herself with
him. Came a reshift.

By the first supper bell the pro-
blems were solved. Again the
group dispersed and this time they

Nat'l Meeting
To Recognize
Faculty Works

Miss Margaret Trotter, assis-
tant professor of English and
Miss Ellen Douglass Leyburn, as-
sociate professor of English, have
recently received national recog-
nition for outstanding work in
their fields.

A short story by one of these
scholars will appear in The Sat-
urday Evening Post and research
papers by both will be presented
at a meeting of individuals out-
standing in modern language cir-
cles.

"Return", Miss Trotter's short
story with a Kentucky mountain
background has been accepted
for publication by The Saturday
Evening Post and will apper at
an early date. In addition, anoth-
er of ,Miss Trotter's works, en-
titled "An Elizabethan Scholar
and His Italian Book: Some re-
ferences to Italian Books in Ga-
briel Harvey's Hagginalia," will
be recognized at the South At-
lantic Modern Language associa-
tion meeting, November 2, and
29, in Chattanooga. Miss Trot-
ter will read her paper to the
group at that time.

Also presented at the language
meeting will be a paper read by
Miss Leyburn, a comparison of
Capulet from "Romeo and Ju-
liet" and Squire Western from
"Tom Jones."

Dozier Talks
In Chapel Fri,

As a preview to Cotillion club's
dance, Miss Eugenie Dozier, in-
structor in physical education will
discuss dancing in chapel Friday.

The discussion will be held in con-
nection with the answering of the
etiquette questionnaire given out
previously. Social Standards sub-
mitted the 128-question booklet,
compiled by Margaret Stephenson,
director of student life at Pratt
Institute, Brooklyn, N. Y., and
Ruth Millett, columnist on fam-
ily problems in Iowa City, Iowa.

The booklet contained questions
on every phase of social life, in-
cluding dancing, introductions,
writing letters, eating, dating,
traveling, and problems connected
with appearing before the public

The correct answers to the ques-
tionnaire will be announced and
discussed. Social Standards hopes
that this procedure will not on-
ly answer questions that have puz-
zled students, but also call their
attention to the correct way of
living graciously in society.

and Ann Carol Blanton and Bet-
zie Powers, negative, debating the
meet's question, Resolved: that a
world federal government should
be established.

Old standbys returning to test
their forensic skill are Georgia

Dark horses as far as the All
Southern tourney is concerned are
Davidson, Vanderbilt and Univer-
sity of Tennessee.

Maier and Berkele will pre-
sent a gold cup to the winning

dent, announced. The cup was
awarded for the first time last
year.

Forty eight debaters with their
coaches will arrive Friday night
and Saturday morning for reg-
istration. Debating begins at 9
a. m. Saturday and continues for
five rounds through the afternoon.

Climaxing the meet will be the
debate in Maclean at 7:45 p. m.
between the winning negative and
affirmative teams to determine
the champion.

After the final round the club
will entertain the judges, coaches,
and debaters with a reception in
Murphey Candler. Debaters and
their dates will also be the guests
of Pi Alpha Phi at the Cotillion

AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE, WED. NOVEMBER 19, 1947

Me r ry-go- Ro u nd

By Mildred Claire Jones

The plane came to a standstill. The moon shone on the sil-
ver wings as two college girls joined the crowd who were
entering the plane. Stopping only a moment to wave goodbye,
they settled into the seats and fastened the safety belts in
preparation for the .flight from Charleston to Atlanta and
chatter -matter accompanying it

"What a wonderful weekend!"
one sighed. "Wonder if any of the
others who were out of town this
weekend had half so much fun!
Betty Blackmon, Beverly Gordy,
Frarikie Francisco, and Margie
Graves were in Columbus for the
Georgia- Auburn game. And Mar-
garet Anne Richards took June
Irvine and Mary Gene Sims home
with her to Columbus. Don't you
"know that there was a crowd at
that game. Caroline Hodges was
there, as well as Betty Cole, Casey
Haff, Sue Dixon, and Mary Fran-
ces Jones. Don't you know Betty's
royal blue suit was a knockout."
Home Again

"Speaking of people taking
others home with them, Lou Mc-
Laurin went to Dillon, S. C. and
took Anne Elcan and Mary Beth
Little. And Myrt Mariani took Flo
Bryant and Ginny Henry to Bes-
semer, Ala. with her. It seemed
that everybody in Main was go-
ing out of town. Maxine Kickliter
went to Sarasota, Fla., Alice Cren-
shaw to Knoxville, Tenn., Steel
Dendy to Pelzer, N. C, and Bet-
ty Davison to Opelika, Ala."

"Not everybody was out of
town." the other broke in. "The
Emory SAEs had a formal party
to present their new sponsor,
Charlotte Bartlett. Among the
crowd there to celebrate with her
were Dot Floyd in blue, Carolyn
Wells and Jean Osborn in pink,
Floss Hanson, Margie Major, and
Harriet Ann McGuire in black,
and Liz Ragland and Carolyn
Critchlow."

"You remember Rosemary Jones
who graduated last year, don't
you? She was really entertained
this week and several Agnes Scott
girls got in on the festivities. At
the buffet supper in her honor
were Beth Jones in royal blue,
TeeToe Williams in black, and E-
claire Cunningham in light blue.
TeeToe had an open house for her
Sunday. And did you know Peg-
gy Pittard got a ring?"

Howl Again

'There's nothing quite like big
dances and weekends at other
schools. Don't you know that Bet-
sy Deal and Cama Clarkson had
fun at N. C. State. Cama has a

PiKA pin now. Ivy Morris went
up to a formal at VPI too. What

"Charity Bennett was going to
Emory Phi Delta house last night
and Gin Kay and Tiny Morrow
were at Emory too. Seems that
freshmen are always going some
place. Betty Rawls went to Wil-
liamson and Barbara Futral and
Mimi Arnold went to Griffin."

"Sophomores were out lots too.
Charlotte Evans went to Tallede-
ga, Ala., Casey Chance to Athens,
Betty Asbill to LaGrange, and
Nancy Wilkinson to Greenwood,
S. C, this weekend."

"I surely hope that it didn't
rain in Atlanta as it did here, Dec
Presbyterian was having a hay
ride and B. J. Ellison, Jean Har-
per, Mary Price, and Martha War-
lick were going on it. Mini Steele
was the popular girl at the Sigma
Chi house this weekend and Mar-
ianela Segura went to the Para-
dise Room."

"Jo Culp visited in Fort Mill,
Katherine Geffcken in Dunwoody,
and Helen Christian in Elberton.

At Jean Estes's wedding, the
dresses were lovely blue satin off
shoulders with hoopskirts. The
girls wearing them were Pat Mc-
Manmon, Johanna Wood, Nan
Honour, Barbara Macris, and Dot
Stewart. That sounds beautiful."

The conversation slowed up only
when the plane reached Atlanta
and the passengers, Harriet Gre-
gory and Mildred Claire Jones,
stepped out. They had been to
the Citadel for the Thanksgiving
Hop with Happy and Cal.

Play By Play

By Jane Alsobrook

Hurray for A. A. and the open house in the gym Saturday night,
for the proverbial "good time was had by all." Fourteen mermaids,
carefully chaperoned by life guard Lee Brewer, played an enthus-
iastic game of keep-away in the pool downstairs. And on the main
floor, exciting games of volleyball and ping-pong were in progress.

The swimming meet Thursday night was exciting and very thril-
ling, especially for the victorious senior-sophomore team. But the
most memorable event of the evening was the spectacular goal that
Marian "wrong-way" Yancey made for the other team in the water
polo game.

A touch of "gracious living" was added to the swimming meet by
the startling appearance of Hank and Ruth Slentz in tux and formal
evening dress. A very "new look." i

If by any chance you heard the sound of exaltation and rejoic-
ing in the science hall Friday afternoon, it was not the discovery of
a mechanical brain or an earthw r orm-on-rainy-days exterminator. It
was the senior hockey team praising the rain. No, those four years
at Agnes Scott hadn't been too much for them. They just didn't have
a full team that day, and if old Sol had shone, they would have had to
.forfeit to the juniors! Never say that prayers weren't answered.

That "'ole debil rain" is a monstrous thing, quoth Sally Ellis,' stu-
dent instructor of tennis. Since school opened, she has had only
three regular outdoor classes. And the rest have been highly irregular,
to say the least.

First, she has tried volley ball, which as least is played over the
net. But the difference is in Sally's methods of choosing sides. One
day, they will be chosen on the basis of your birth month or on
whether you prefer blondes or brunettes.

For diversion, Sally takes her tennis class on hikes. They have
tramped through the woods and streams of Decatur and DeKalb
County. The most interesting excursion was one to see the banana
trees near the Glenwood School.

And, of course, on some days, Sally gives the class the dope on
tennis rules and regulations. This indeed will be an accomplished
class. They can get their three hours credit in volley ball, woodcraft,
"botany, and umpiring everything, in fact, but tennis.

Describe

Convention

The Georgia Athletic Federa-
tion met at Athens, November
14-15, as guest of the University
of Georgia. Those colleges at-
tending were Georgia Teachers
college, Armstrong, LaGrange,
Brenau, West Georgia, Georgia
State College for Women, Bessie
Tift, Wesleyan, Shorter, and Ag-
nes Scott. Some 60 delegates and
faculty members were present.

After registration Friday, dem-
onstrations were put on by the
physical education department of
the university, followed by square
dancing for all.

The meeting opened Saturday
with an address by the faculty
sponsor, Miss Alethia Whitney.
She gave a brief history of the
organization noting that the
Georgia Federation 'for College
Women was founded at Agnes
Scott in 1931 and this college was
hostess to the Federation in 1939
and 1944.

A business meeting in which
the constitution was revised and
new officers elected concluded
the general session. An invita-
tion for the Federation to meet
at the Georgia State College for
Women in Milledgeville next fall
was accepted.

A picnic dinner and open house
in the gym brought the confer-
ence to a close Saturday night.

tournament record. First year of
the tourney, teams placed second
and third. Last year, debating un-
der a handicap, debaters took all
their rounds. This year the teams
will again not be eligible for hon-
ors. Combinations of veterans Bet-
zie and Clarkie with newcomers
Kate and Ann Carol make A. S. C.
teams unknown quantities.

Judging has previously been
based on a system of points given
to individual debaters, but this
system made no allowance for the
inequalities of judges' ratings. This
year teams will be matched for all
five rounds before the tournament
begins.

All rounds of debating are
open to the campus community
and the list of room numbers and
teams debating will be posted in

Seniors, Sophs Star
In Swimming Pageant

By Frankie Francisco

Splash the water pageant was off at 8 p. m. Thursday,
Nov. 13. The seniors and sophs walked off with the honors.

Emily Wright sailed into first place to win the advanced
diving for the seniors- But the crowd got quite a thrill
when Embo missed the board by a mere twist of the shoulder.
The breathless crowd watched

Zollie Saxon win the second sen-
ior victory in some spectacular
intermediate diving.

Embo shone again as she speed-

Juniors Battle

To 2-0 Victory

A fast junior team battled their
way to a 2-0 victory over the
sophomores Wednesday in one of
the hardest fought games of the
season.

The game started with a bully
between centers Reinartz and El-
lis. Twice the juniors pushed their
way into the striking circle only
to be driven back out into mid-
field. Then Sally Ellis made one
of her beautiful drives to put the
juniors ahead 1-0.

In the closing minutes of the
game after the ball had been driv-
en back and forth down the field
several times, Sally connected
with another drive giving her
team a 2-0 victory.

The starting line-ups were:

ed for the third senior winning, the
40-yard dash.

The frosh and juniors began
to pick up when they won the
medley. Some of the strokes in-
cluded in this performance were
back-stroke, butterfly breast, and
crawl. The seniors and spohs once
more came through with the most
points in the form swimming
where they used the back crawl
perform, side overarm perform,
and breast stroke.

Again the juniors and frosh
held their own when they won
the water polo game. Some seem
to think there was a "little es-
pionage" employed in this sport.
A certain junior threw the ball
to a senior who obligingly carried
the ball over the goal to score for
her opponent.

Even after this "slick" piece of
strategy the seniors and sophs
won the meet. "Of course," says
a certain undaunted junior, "We
were slightly out-numbered."

To Open Tonight In Gaines

Clamor, Gaiety Reign
In Festive Gym
At First Fall Formal

By Charlsie Smith

Misty weather and falling hair
failed to dampen the gaiety or
diminish the g 1 a m o r of Agnes
Scott's first campus-wide formal
sponsored by the Cotillion club
last Saturday night.

Excitement reigned from the tux-
edo bedeckedMain hall to the trans-
formed gym. A steady stream of
taffeta and net connected the two
buildings, interrupted only now
and then by the surrepticious
downward glances of a wary miss
who wondered about the presence
of her daytime friend, the omni-
present earthworm.

Inside the gym, dancers emerg-
ed from the general bustle of de-
positing wraps, pinning on orchids,
and straightening hoops, to be
greeted at the door by the sight of
autumn colors and the first strains
of Nomad music, coming from
behind a screen of yellow, brown,
green, and red streamers on the
stage. Almost hidden by the color-
ful sideline were huge flashbulb
lamps, placed there by two Life
photographers, who had request-
ed the privilege of taking pictures

Spanish Dept.
To Entertain
Senora Acuna

In honor of Senora Angelina
Acuna, widely known poetess
of Guatemala, the Spanish depart-
ment is having a coffee Sunday
afternoon at 1:45 in Murphey
Candler. Senora Acuna will be
asked to read some of her poems
and to talk about life in Guate-
mala.

Miss Melissa Cilley, who is in
charge of the coffee, announced
that Mrs. Muriel Ham and Mrs.
Irvirg Cilley will pour and sev-
eral students in the Spanish de-
partment will serve and receive.

The entire college community
is invited to attend the coffee.

during the evening. The occasion-
' al flash of the bulbs reminded
dancers of their presence.

After a few minutes of informal
dancing, the first "no-break" was
announced, and the ball had of-
ficially begun. Minor program dif-
ficulties, such as losing one's next
partner, were quickly remedied by
an excursion to the "Lost and
Found" booth, set up in a con-
venient corner.

Just before intermission, re-
cognition was given Mary Gene
Sims, dance chairman, and her
committee when June Irvine, Co-
tillion club president, presented
her with a bouquet of yellow chry-
santhemums and commended Mar-
garet Anne Richards, Norah Anne
Little, and June Driskill for their
work as chairmen of the decora-
tion, refreshment, and program
committees.

Immediately following the pre-
sentation was the Cotillion club
lead-out, led by June Irvine, pre-
sident, with Jimmy Miller, Bet-

C A Launches
WSSF Drive
With Movie

Striving toward a goal of one
thousand dollars, C. A. launched
its World Student Service Fund
drive Monday, Nov. 24, with the
showing of "Seeds of Destiny," a
movie depicting the medical needs
of children abroad.

The series of programs designed
to point out to students the needs
served by the fund, continued
Tuesday with a chapel discussion
of the situation of Chinese stu-
dents today. The program was
lead by Mr. Chang who is associat-
ed with Chinese welfare work, and
his wife, Mrs. Chang, connected
with Chinese schools.

As another part of the Student
Service drive, the collection of
food, clothes, and money for a
Thanksgiving offering will begin
Thursday, Nov. 27. Three collec-
tion boxes for money contributions,
one resembling a turkey, another a
Thanksgiving basket, and the
third a package ready for mailing,
will be placed outside the dining
room. Donations from Investiture
have already been added to the
Fund.

Ann Shepherd, senior, is chair-
man of the drive.

Book Exhibit
Stresses Future

Dolls of every nation and Greek
mottoes decorate the library's dis-
play of new books on poetry, dra-
ma, religion, art, and present day-
problems on exhibit for book week.

Taking as its theme "Books for
the World of Tomorrow," the lib-
rary began its exhibit Nov. 22 and
included in its program an open
house Sunday afternoon. Before
an open fire and a group of about
35 faculty members and students,
Anderson M. Scruggs, an Atlanta
poet, read some of his works and
discussed poetry in general.

Miss Edna Ruth Hanley, librar-
ian, announced that the library
staff would be glad to discuss
the exhibit at any time. Book
week ends Saturday.

The library will be closed to-
night and tomorrow for the
Thanksgiving holidays.

U. of Fla. Cops Maier Cup, Individual Honors
In Debate Tournament; Davidson Ranks Third

University of Florida's nega-
tive team completed the orange
state's walk - away with All
Southern Intercollegiate debate
tourney honors when they down-
ed the Florida affirmative in a
tack-sharp, fast paced battle in
Maclean auditorium Saturday
night.

Coach Eubanks' teams carried
home the Maier Cup for the sec-
ond consecutive year. Pitting of
two teams from the same college
for the championship is most un-
usual and speaks highly of the
calibre of coach and teams, com-
mented George P. Hayes, coach.

Florida teams swept the boards
of individual honors with their de-
baters rating first through fourth.
Gerald Gordon took first place
with a total of 45 out of a possi-

ble 50 points. Alan Westin^ nega-
tive, netting 44% points, placed
second, with affirmative William
Castagna, 44 points, as third and
Edward, Klein, negative, rating
fourth with 41V 2 points.

Teams rating awards were Da-
vidson affirmative, third place,
sparked by Don Shriver and H. C.
Brincgar, South Carolina nega-
tive of Melton Kligman and James
Simmons, fourth, and Roy Wig-
gins and Joe Duke of the Emory
affirmative placing fifth.

Don Shriver, Davidson, Howard
Woodham, Tech negative, Roy
Wiggins, Emory, and H. C. Brin-
egar, Davidson, tied for fifth
place in individual debating
awards.

Although not eligible for honors

Agnes Scott intercollegiate
teams debated in all rounds win-
ning six out of ten. Affirmative
team composed of Kate Elmore
and Clarkie Rogers received its
only upset from the Florida nega-
tive. Ann Carol Blanton and Bet-
zie Powers toppled Emory and
gave Davidson affirmative their
only defeat but lost to South Caro-
lina, Tennessee, and to Randolph-
Macon by technical fouls.

Affirmative wins included Ber-
ry, V anderbilt, Randolph-Macon,
and Emory. The affirmative net-
ted a total of 85% points, rank
ing them above Davidson for team
honors.

Individually the debators tied
for third, fourth and fifth places.
Clarkie for third, Kate, fourth,
and Betzie, fifth.

SG Open House
To Offer Campus
Respite, Dec. 3

Drudging frosh, battered sophs*,,
exhausted juniors, and anxious-
seniors are offered a needed re-
spite from their miseries before
their final hectic plunge into ex-
aminations. The "calm before the
storm" will be in the form of an
open house, given by Student gov-
ernment, on Dec. 3, the first day
of inactivity week.

Everyone is urged to take a:
break from her last minute cram-
ming that Wednesday and come
to Murphey Candler any time
from 3:30 to 5:30 in the afternoon,
and from 9:30 to 11 that night.

Agnes Scotters Scatter
For Turkey Treks, Treats

By Easy Beale

For a whole quarter, the Agnes Scott campus has joyfully
awaited Thanksgiving holiday great day of rest. No 8:30's,
no labs, no "lights out" who couldn't be thankful? Yep, it's
a big day for all, whether spent on or off campus.

To be envied are those going home. Their Thanksgiving
will be the traditional turkey and

pumpkin pie and big family gath-
ering holiday. Among the many
lucky girls who'll be home and
can say in that I-just-couldn't-eat-
another-mouthful tone, 'What a
wonderful day" are Gin Vining,
Mimi Arnold, Marg Hunt, and
Butch Hays. They'll dash off "the
minute after class is over" and
come skidding back Friday morn-
ing, bag-in-hand, with that cran-
berry sauce gleam in their eyes.

Not to be pitied are the girls
celebrating Thanksgiving on cam-
pus. Two hours extra sleep, tur-
key dinner in the dining hall, trips
to town, the Georgia-Georgia Tech
freshman game these are pleas-
ures to elevate even a campused
soul to the Thanksgiving spirit.
The more fortunate of this class
are June Irvine, Harriet Ann Mc-
Guire and Mary Foster Robinson
who, like scores of others, are
having guests and families in
town.

The less fortunate of this class
are the girls who'll be entertained
all day by the fascinating probe
into Chaucerian and Platonic
realms. They're the people who
spend Thanksgiving remembering
the day after Thanksgiving, com-
plete with quizes, term papers to
be written, and hangovers.

Off the
Copy Hook

A freshman was amazed to
learn several nights ago that peo-
ple were "permitted" to study in
the library even if they didn't
have term papers or themes to
write. All this time she had want-
ed to study there but thought it
against the rules!

i We must apologize for pick-
ing on the freshmen this week,
but we can't resist one more. As
the walls of Main were resounding
from one end to the other with
debators' voices Saturday, one of
these underclassmen wandered
down the hall with a mystified
expression and, turning to a by-
stander, murmured, "Gosh! She's
really telling him off, isn't she?"

By Edna Claire Cunningham

On a cold field after many post-
ponements the juniors met the
seniors and the frosh met the
sophs in fight to the finish games.
The juniors were victorious with
a single tally and the frosh-soph
fracas ended in a tie.

The juniors won the bully with
a flick and carried the ball
straight down the right side of
the field for a goal by center El-
lis. This proved to be the one
and only goal of the game.

The rest of the half was a run
up and down the field with a pre-
dominance of play around the
senior goal. Several attempts at a
score were made but were unsuc-
cessful.

The second half was even play-
ing with the seniors threatening
but the juniors held. Both wings
on the senior team made long
runs down the alleys but were
unable to take it in. The for-
wards, Ellis, Brannon, and Blake
proved a powerful combination
that was hard for the defense to
stop. The game ended 1-0 for the
juniors.

The sophomore-freshman game
was an exciting one. The frosh
scored with a push-through by
center half Stukes early in the
game and held the score through-
out the half.

The second period was charac-
terized by long runs but no score.
The soph-frosh game was a more
open field one than the junior-
senior one. With two minutes left
to play the sophs climaxed a long
run with a goal by Sharkey. They
had previously made a goal that
was not legal because it was
lofted high into the goaL The
game ended 1-1.

C. Bennett playing right full
made some pretty circular tackles
for the frosh and Warlick hit
several cross-field drives that
were profitable for the sophs.

The seniors have the frosh and
the sophs to play yet and the
juniors have the sophs and the
season will be over. The juniors
remain unbeaten and tied only
once by the seniors.

Critic Says Comedy Staged
In True Victorian 'Fashion'

By Lorton Lee

From Zeke's opening "Shoo-Fly" Blackfriars gracefully
fluttered its way through five acts of artificial comedy to end
with a moral in typical mid-Victorian "Fashion", Wednesday
and Thursday nights, leaving the audience "abie-me" with
laughter.

her daughter, Seraphina, Barbara
Macris, at fan-diplomacy.

Pat McMammon as Prudence,
a nineteenth century watch-bird,
gave ore of the most humorous
portrayals of an "I told you so"
busy-body, always managing to
trip into the right place at the
wrong time, while Reese Newton's
French accent as the "femme de
chambre", M i 1 1 i n ette, appeared
as genuine as the count was not.

The elaborate scenery calling
for six separate changes and the
awkward side flats of mid-Victor-
ian stagirg was effective and as
realistic as painted mantles, doovs
and furniture can appear.

In their ( attempt to authenti-
cate and satirize every detail of
Ann Cora Mowatt's lengthy draw-
ing room drama, the cast and stage
ciew were completely successful,
even substituting a one-paged
play-bill for the usual pr:gram.
Accidental snowfall from Mr.
Truman's powdered wig, in a dra-
matic moment, however, a touch
of 20th century slap-stick, drew
the biggest laugh from the au-
dience.

After conditioning the unac-
customed "asides" to the audience
it was easy to enjoy the unsubtle
humor of Polly Milles' excellent
mispronunciation of French as
fashion leader, Mrs. Tiffany, for-
mer milliner, and the attempts of

Stassen Terms
Southern Tour
Major Success

By Clarkie Rogers and
Harriet Gregory

"A major success" was ex-gov-
ernor of Minnesota, Harold Stas-
sen's term for his first trip
through the South in a press con-
ference Monday which the presi-
dential hopeful characterized by
touching many subjects and ex-
pounding few.

After his pre-convention swing
through the southern states he
estimated that 54 out of 114 first
ballot votes in the '48 convention
should be his.

"It is of great importance that
we develop a two party system in
the South," he stated, adding that
to build a high calibre Southern
party the national party must
''heed voices from the South in
making policy within Republican
councils."

spiral the Republican supported

Agnes Scott will soon don her
Christmas regalia, according to
Miss Charlotte Hunter, assistant
dean.

Visitors will notice evidences
of the Christmas spirit on the
night of December 9, when the
wreaths of holiday foliage are
placed on the front doors of
Main. Red and silver bells will be
seen at each window, and a huge
lighted tree will dominate the
large date parlor. All the other
parlors will be decorated too.

To bring the holiday spirit a
little closer to each girl, a tree
will be furnished each dormitory
and cottage. House presidents and
senior residents are in charge of
making plans both for decorat-
ing the trees and the Christmas
party. Usually these parties are
held on the last Sunday night be-
fore examinations, but the actual
date is left up to the individual
house presidents.

Various plans have been made.
Some cottages have already de-
cided to draw names and ex-
change gifts at the parties. Oth-
ers have planned to give gifts
to a worthy family in Decatur.

At each party, refreshments,
apples and hard candy will be
furnished by the college. This is
the first year that hard candy
has been available far all the
parties. It will be reminiscent not
only of pre-war days, but of the
old-fashioned Christmases of can-
dle-lighted trees and sleigh-bells.

trol, supervision of foreign exports,
regulation of commodity ex-
changes, and restriction on con-
sumer installment buying. How-
ever, he considered enforcement of
these aims plus food conservation
and buyer resistance sufficient
without restoration of price con-
trols and rationing.

Emphatic in his criticism of our
policy in sending materials abroad,
Mr. Stassen pointed out that so
far this year the United States
fyas shipped more machinery to
Russia than to England and
France. "It does not add up," he
said.

Our course now, in his opinion,
is to "hit hard on the Marshall
plan." He stressed that "we must
move on that right away," and ex-
plained that he has supported the
plan since the day it was proposed.

The candidate for the Republi-
can nomination for the presidency
spoke at Emory Monday night and
at a meeting of the Atlanta Ro-
tary club Monday afternoon. He
will return to Atlanta Wednesday

Play By Play

By EClaire Cunningham

Since Girmy has gone to see the tops in sports, the Army-Navy
game, I will see what is going on in the sports department at A. S. C.
But rest assured it will not equal that grand football classic. There
has been a rumour that Ginny is scouting for ideas for us to have
a football team next year, but her trip probably was not made in the
line of duty.

Speaking of travelling, Miss Wilburn is on her way to New York
this Christmas. She is going to attend a meeting of the Legislative
Board of the National Section on Women's Athletics of the American
Association of Health,, Physical Education and Recreation. (LBNSW-
AAAHPER, no less)

If you felt beat-up and worn out after the dance, you should have
seen the gym. It strictly had the morning-after-the-night-before look
with cigarette stubs, crepe paper and favors strewn all over. Miss
Dorothy spent a very blue Monday getting it back onto the track
after the festive part it played as host to the first Agnes Scott
formal.

You may expect to see some full fledged umpires strutting around
the gym soon, for the umpiring club's hockey tests are being given.
So, if you encounter any one with a top sergeant air, you'll know
that it is one of Agnes Scott's first umpires. Classes in basketball
officiating will be held next quarter.

By the way, any student or alumna who is interested in taking the
Atlanta officials board exams in basketball may do so this fall. The
tests will be given the second week in December.

A little known precaution observed by the gym department is the
testing, each week, of the pool water. Early Monday morning, a stu-
dent ventures out with her little black box containing the water
samples. She sleepily boards the street car and rides to town to the
Health Department.

There she deposits her boftles, getting empties in return. Five min-
utes later, she may be seen re-boarding the same street car which
has just made its circle. The street car conductor gives her a sus-
picious look, eyeing the little box, but she never tells why she rides
to town every Monday morning only to return almost immediately.

New plans have been made by the A. A. Board to take over the
Athletic Bulletin Board in the Mail Room. Instead of the Publicity
Manager changing the posters each week every week during the
year, during winter quarter, the whole Board will be in charge of it.
A different sports manager each week will be in charge of the
bulletin board and will preview events of interest coming up in their
sport.

Nancy Wilkinson, sophomore, has won the Archery Tournament,
announced Binkie Stubbs Ferris, archery club manager. Nancy is
really the school champion, since this the second year in a row that
she has won the archery tournament.

In co-operation with the Orientation Committee, A. A. will have an
open house down at the Gym on Jan. 10, the first Saturday night
after the Christmas holidays. Refreshments will be provided, the
pool will be open, and the usual sports will be offered.

Juniors Win Over Frosh
Seniors Default To Sophs

By Marie Cuthbertson

After several weeks of playing in rainy weather or on a
slippery field, the juniors met the freshmen in a day after
Thanksgiving clash at 4 p. m. The other scheduled contest
between the seniors and sophs was a default by the class of
'48, who were unable to field a full team.

The score of 3-0 fails to tell the
true story of the rough and tum-
ble contest. Fighting hard from
the opening whistle, the fresh-
men eleven played well especially
on defense.

Although failing to give junior
goalie Ammons a great deal of
exercise, the fighting frosh, time
after time, kept the junior for-
ward line from scoring while they
were in the scoring circle. Much
credit is due to freshman goalie
Smith for her performance

Scores by Ellis and Newton in
the first half put the juniors two
points ahead at half time. During
the second period the undefeated
eleven was held to a single goal
made by Sid Cummings.

The class of '51 has improved
steadily since the beginning of the
season and shows promise of be-
ing strong contenders for honors
next year. Junior defense and the
backfield of the freshmen deserve
special commendation. Although a
hard struggle, the game was rag-
ged and was characterized by
bunching and lack of good tech-
nique and stick work.

New Managers
Chosen Mon.

New managers have been chos-
en for two of the winter quarter
sports, announced Sheely Little,
president, at the last A. A. Board
meeting.

Grace Durant, previous swim-
ming manager, has resigned her
position. In her place, Charlotte
Evans has been chosen as new
swimming manager. There will
be a meeting of class managers
with Charlotte down at the pool
Tuesday at 7:30.

Class basketball managers for
winter quarter have been an-
nounced, too. Anne Brook, day
student, will be the frosh mana-
ger; Mary Louise Warlick; is
chosen as the sophomore mana-
ger; the junior manager will be
June Davis; and Edna Claire
Curningham will lead the seniors.
The schedule of the games, and
practice times will be announced
at a later date.

No More Blue Books,

For four years of blood, sweat, and tears we have heard
the eternal plaint of 550 students. Never before has the News
dared take pen in hand to express this long abiding grievance
swelling within our troubled breasts.

All quarter long knowledge of this source of pain hangs
over the campus like the gloom cloud over Joe Bitxlt in LiT
Abner. From September to December we ponder the coming
struggle. Alas, class dreams of vacation time are frozen in
our brains by the thought of the catastrophe. Some of the
weaker are so affected as to eat their Thanksgiving turkey
in the stacks preparing for the blow.

We have meekly surrendered to the whip lash long enough.
Five hundred and fifty voices can no longer be drowned in
ink pots. Down with the little blue bocks and up with the
little black books.

We demand that exams be abolished.

No More Blues

Almost upon us is the time of year when crowds become
mobs, and people become nicer, and a little corn is permis-
sible, and cheer is the order of the day.

The holiday spirit, Saint Nick and all that, is floating around
somewhere, being elusive at the moment. Visibility is poor,
probably because of exam clouds hovering near, but it gets
clearer all the time what with toys in the store windows and
train tickets in jewelry boxes, and Christmas lists in the
making.

Student government's open house and the teas during exam
week are designed to provide a little pre-Christmas spirit.
We'd call them right in the Christmas tradition, that part of
it about spreading joy.

Since this is the last time we'll have to tell you and since
we cannot think of any possible way to say it in any other
words and since these say it mighty well anyway Merry
Christmas!

You Said It

Editor, Agnes Scott News:

My dear female exponent of
journalism,

Hearing comment concerning
an editorial published in your
weekly newspaper having to do
with an unfortunate feature item
in our meager contribution to the
world of college journalism, I
immediately was overtaken with
a desire to peruse fore-amentioned
editorial. If you would send an
issue to box 804, Georgia Tech,
my appreciation would be bound-
less.

May I say, in additnr, that the
opinions of feature writers who
are merely attempting to make
some dull Tech students laugh do
not represent the opinions of my-
self, who embodies the editorial
policy of our humble publication.
In case apologies are in order,
however, would you graciously
accept them on behalf of your
worthy college.

Sincerely,
Al Newton, Editor, Technique

Wanted: Happy Haven
For Derelict Intellects

By Lee Cousar

The library doors close behind me, and I stand bewildered.
What can I do? Where shall I go My knowledge for the com-
ing day is only half obtained, and here I stand desolate on
the library steps at 10 p. m. with no place to go to continue
my quest for learning

Zionist Collegiates Name
Helen Goldman Secretary

Helen Goldman, senior, was
recently elected corresponding
secretary of the Southern States
Region of the Inter-Collegiate
Zionist Federation of America,
"The Southern Israelite" stated
in the November 14 edition.

The meeting to organize the
federation was held in Atlanta,
and was attended by representa-
tives from eight southern states.

ages and Kings

Off the
Copy Hook

The following conversation was
actually carried on in all seri-
ousness between two Honor Roll
students a few days ago:

1st H.R.S.: "Tell me, who wrote
the 'Odyssey* ?"

2nd H.R.S.: "Why, Homer, of
course. You mean you didn't know
that? Why, you probably don't
even know who wrote Virgil/'

1st H.R.S.: "I do know that
one 'The Aenead'."

Suddenly a ray of light shines
into my darkened thoughts. I can
go to that home for derelict in-
tellectsthe day students' room!
There my studies will be inter-
rupted by no rude shouts of
"Whose tub?", "Telephone!!!" and
other such loathsome sounds.
There I can study in peace while
my unlearned neighbors in the
dormitory fritter away their time
in noise and chatter.

Entering the room, I am aston-
ished to find that there are others
there, too, and that the only emp-
ty plaee for me is at a table with
someone else. With a sigh I re-
sign myself to my fate, sit down,
and place my nose in my book.

Just as I find myself pleading
with the Raven to tell me about
Lenore, I am carried back to
earthly realms by the shrill ring-
ing of the telephone. With dem-
oniacal shouts, six girls shove into
the little two-by-four phone booth,
and shortly thereafter five of
them depart from said booth in
a rather dejected manner.

To my horror, I discover that
the door to the telephone booth
does not close securely, and so un-
willingly I become an eavesdropper.
Thanks to the insistence of the
switchboard operator this dis-
turbance ceases after several
painful and embarrassing minutes,
and again I delve into my book.
Fifteen minutes pass during

which an equal number of thirst-
ing souls keep the fountain at my
elbow steadily running. In a far
corner a low murmur begins
which gets louder until it resem-
bles the sound produced by a
swarm of bees. My loud and fre-
quent sighs have no effect what-
soever in quelling~the sound.

The door is flung open, and a
raincoat-over-pa jama-clad person
stands in the doorway and bellows
something about food from the
tea house. Catching the somewhat
reprimanding glances bestowed
upon her by a few of us who are
sincerely striving after knowledge,
she is good enough to go to each
girl and take her order in an un-
accustomed whisper.

A few moments later, my table-
mate, realizing that her low
grades in French are due to her
poor pronunciation takes this op-
portunity to practice reading
French aloud, and none of my re-
quests for silence are effective.

I finally realize what my only
course of action is when two 211
students, remembering advice
given by their professor, decide
that "King Lear" would have
more meaning for them if they
would enact it.

Clasping my books in my arms.
I resignedly depart from this
scene of confusion and retire to
the peace and quiet of the dormi-
tory.

Dear Santa . . .

Other than a Cadilac conver-
tible, enough diamonds to make
being a pedestrian at night not on-
ly safe but postively a menace to
driver's blinkers, the covered-up-
look via mink, and a blond six-
footer, most of us just want a soft
pillow and nothing to do. Never,
since the childhood daze of Santa
Claus, was Christmas so anticipat-
ed. One will insist she just wants
to see the family, as she knits
size eleven argyles feverishly; an-
other drags out a fraternity pin,
badly in need of polish; other less
summer-successful ones renew old
correspondance; the race is on.
It's just a good thing Christmas
does come but once a year.

"You better watch out, you bet-

I'm telling you why: Santa Claus
is coming to town!" And no more
of "havin* the smarts" either.
Now a columnist loves gals who
say things like "her hair looks like
it was curled with a blow torch" or
in that under-starched formal she
sounded like she was cutting down
a forest when she walked"; but
switches and ashes are for that
kitten's nylon; Polyannas get the
dollies. Professor-distressors are
due for their just reward too
too much prancing and waving at
the grandstands and clango, great
the topple thereof. College scrib-
blers who can't resist telling jokes
such as: "How are Christmas and
a crab alike? (Bugles maestro!)

Juniors Plan
Gay Nineties
Extravaganza

With all the energy of the tire-
less troupers of the Gay Nineties,
the junior class under the direc-
tion of Junior Joint chairman Dot
Porter has begun work on "Dia-
mond Jim's Jamboree at the Gold-
en Horse-shoe" to get it ready
for an 8:30 p. m. performance in
the gym, Saturday, Feb. 7.
Gay Nineties Theme

This extravanganza of bustled
belles and diamond studded gen-
tlemen is this year's Junior Joint
celebration presented annually by
the junior class. Sophomores, fresh-
men, and seniors will help with
the entertainment by presenting
a class skit on the Gay Nineties
theme and the winning skit will
be chosen at the end of the even-
ing. Mildred Claire Jones and
Nancy Deal were chosen co-chair-
men in charge of the senior skit
while Cissie Spiro will plan the
freshman stunt.

In past years each class nomin-
ated a king and campaigned for
two weeks before Junior Joint to
raise enough votes in the form
of pennies to win the crown for
their class. This year each class
will nominate a queen who will
compete for the title of Lillian
Russell of "Diamond Jim's Jam-
boree." Each queen's date will act
as her escort. Nominations for
queen will take place in class
meetings this week.

Commttees Named

Committee heads for the junior
class were chosen last week, Dot
Porter announced. In charge of
supplying true barber-shop har-
mony is Nancy Dendy, chairman
of the music committee, while
Butch Hayes heads the decorations
committee, and Mary Price and
Lucy Mohr are co-chairmen of the
costume commttee.

Refreshments on sale will be
supplied by Nancy Huey and her
committee, and Mary Aichel is
chairman in charge of tickets.
Sharing the work of publicizing
the Jamboree are Dot Morrison
and Lee Cousar. Chairman of the
clean-up committee is Marie Cuth-
bertson.

Vera Micheles Dean, director of the research department
of the Foreign Policy association, author of several books,
and authority on Russia, will lecture in Presser hall at 8:30
p. m. Tuesday, Jan. 27. Her subject will be "Russia's Internal
Problems."

Born in Russia, a graduate of
Radcliffe, and a Ph.D., Mrs. Dean,
who has a master's degree in in-
ternational law from Yale, and

Frost Combines Wit, Insight, Optimism

By Lorton Lee

Agnes Scott and the plantation
type estate of his friend John
Wade in Marshallville, Ga. are
the south to Robert Frost, fore-
most American poet, he remarked
in an interview upon his arrival on
campus Monday.

Mr. Frost, who read' both old
favorites and a few new selections
of his poetry at a lecture in Pres-
ser hall last night, has lectured
frequently at Agnes Scott since
his first appearance in 1937. This
year he is the guest of the college
by the courtesy of the Visiting
Scholar's Fund of the University
Center.

A calm, white-haired man in his
seventies, Mr. Frost has the op-
timism of a poet and the quick
wit and insight of a diplomat. He
anticipates another war, eventual-
ly.

"War begins in differences of
opinion and ends in brutality," he
commented. "Men who believe that
their ideals are worth dying for
also believe they are worth killing
for," he added.

Interested in current affairs, Mr.
Frost says he is looking forward
to seeing the number of votes
Wallace and his third party will
poll in the coming presidential
election. Wallace's supporters, he
believes, will be those who think
there is no need for trouble with
Russia. When asked his opinion
of Wallace, Frost smiling remark-
ed that he had several months be-
fore ho would vote.

On the Negro question Mr. Frost
honestly admitted that he as a
northerner knew nothing about
the Negros in the south. Then
with a grin ho added that they

knew him. A Negro waiter on the
train, the only person on his south-
bound train to recognize Mm,
wanted to know whether he was
Robert Frost or Carl Sandburg.

Mr. Frost, four times winner
of the Pulitzer prize, has received
more honors than any other living
poet. He holds honorary degrees
from Yale. Harvard, Columbia,
Princeton and other American
universities.

The English faculty entertained
Mr. Frost at a dinner Monday
evening and he will meet with
the members of campus creative
writing clubs at an informal tea
at 4 p. m. His train leaves tonight
for Florida where he will spend
the winter at his home near Mi-
ami.

Frosh Pick Mattison
Secretary-Treasurer

Freshmen elected Mary Louise
Mattison secretary-treasurer of
their class in chapel Saturday.

The election of Mary Louise,
who is from Anderson, S. C, com-
pletes the roster of freshman of-
ficiers. Other class leaders are
Mary Hayes Barber, president;
Cissie Spiro, vice-president; and
Liz Ragland and Noel Barnes
freshmen representatives to Exec.

Rogers Stars

The Agnes Scctt dance group

genie Dozier will present. "Swan
Lake" on the night of February
14 in Presser Hall.

let in four acts, was presented for

ter Petipa.

Merry-go-Round

By Mildred Claire Jones

Agnes Scott, A. D. (after dark, that is!) Two little squirrels
sat at the edge of a walkway of melting snow. As usual their
talk was about the people they saw every day, the Agnes
Scott girls.

"You would think that being away for all those days
would have made those Tech boys

forget alT about these girls. But
it didn't happen that way. Sara
Samonds, Mary Love Campbell,
Gene Wilson, Gregor Mitchell, and
Mae Comer Osborne were at the
Delta Tau Delta house. And Nan-
cy Brown, Catherine McGauley,
Liza Pollard, and Susan Gauger
went to the Delta Sigma Phi
house."

"The Sigma Nus were anxious
to see them too, so they immed-
iately asked Sally Thomason, Mary
Louise Mattison, and Wilton Rice
to go out with them Saturday
night. Mary Hayes Barber, Ann
Miller, Julie Cuthbertson, Anna
DeVault, Virginia Chard, and
Sarah Davis enjoyed a Lambda
Chi rush party."

Emory Antics

"I wouldn't say that the Emory
boys waited too long to make
plans for the week-end too. Har-
riet Ann McGuire, Jessie Carpen-
ter, Charlotte Bartlett, Ann Sar-
tain, Mildred Claire Jones, Ann-
elle Simpson, Floss Hanson, Diana
Durden, and Norah Anne Little
danced with the SAEs at a lively
house dance.

"The Chi Phis must have really
had a wonderful time at their
dance at North Fulton Park Fri-
day night. Joann Peterson, Isabel
Truslow, Jean Osborn, Margaret
Hopkins, Lyd Gardner, and Mary
Beth Little were there. Also seen
at the Chi Phi house were Frances
Smith, Sally Bussey, Margaret
Brewer, and Sally Thomason."
Pins and Grins

"Have you noticed all the new
fraternity pins since Christmas?
Betty Cole is pinned to a Phi
Delt, Dot Medlock to an ATO,
and Beverly Gordy to an SPE. I
am sure that there are others but
those are the only ones that I can
think of now. And two girls have
changed their names over the holi-
days: Now they are Sue Meaders
Crawley and Mary Helen Phillips
Hearn."

"Don't you just love to see girls
dressed up in formals and boys in
tux? I had the best time watching
people go into and out of Main
Friday night on their way to the
PiKA formal. I saw Nancy Deal,
Genie Paschal, Mary Louise War-
lick, and Sue Yarbrough. And I

understand that Janet Quinn,
Rosemary Griffin, Joan Willmon,
Olive Partee, and Martha Jane
Davis were there too."

Night Cluflbing
"If you want to hear where the
crowd had been that night, all
you have to do is sit along the
way from Main to Inman and hear
the gossip. I heard Catherine Nel-
son say that she saw Easy Beale,
Sid Cummings, Val von Lehe and
Dot Medlock .at the Rainbow Roof
when she was there with Mary
Chappell, Dottie Sullivan and
their dates.'

"Yes, I know what you mean.
It was there that I heard about
the ice and snow that made every-
body so late. Also I learned that
Pagie Violette, Charlotte Bartlett,
and Nancy Geer had been at the
Naval Air Base. While Splinter
Board and Billie Powell and Dot
Quillian were at the Tech Sigma
Chi house, and Casey Haff and
Jane Oliver at the Phi Delt House,
Jessie Carpenter, Beryl Crews and
Dot Floyd were dancing at the
Chi Phi house."

Home to How i
"All the good times were not
in Decatur though. Lee Brewer
went to Birmingham, Sue Mc-
Spadden to Charlotte, Lady
Major and Harriet Gregory to An-
derson, and Tee Toe Williams to
Marietta.

"Virginia Arnold took Betty
Finney to Newnan with her, while
Marg Hunt took Andrea Dale to
Griffin. Dalton was a gay place
too with Agnes Scotters Mary
Manly, Mary Gene Sims, Anne El-
can, Margaret Anne Richards, and
June Irvine there; Mary Anne
Barksdale went to Auburn."

"Those energetic ATOs had a
big party too. Margaret Glenn,
Emily Pope, Janet Quinn , Dot
Medlock, Ric Ramseur, Isabel
Truslow, and Betty Averill were
at the Tech house and Anne Hayes
was at the Emory house. Margie
Stukes celebrated with the Emory
Delta Tau Deltas, and Jeanne
Kline and Frankie Francisco say
that the Sigma Chi party was best
of all!"

Ring Toss
"Speaking of new things since
Christmas, have you seen Mildred
Claire's Citadel miniature, And
these engagement rings! Jean
Henson, Mary Gene Sims, Jean
Niven, Sheely Little, Jackie Ja-
cobs, Fay Ball, and B. J. Doyle
are the lucky girls. Also having
beautiful engagement rings are
Eva Finkelstein, Genet Heery, and
Willa Wagner. Haven't you noticed
how bright these nights have
been? I'm sure that half of the
glitter is from those good-looking
rings. Yes, Agnes Scott A. D. is
quite a place!"

Debate Teams
To Attend
Tulane Meet

Pi Alpha Phi voted funds to send
two teams to Tulane's Glendy
Burke debating tournament at
New Orleans the week-end of Feb.
26 at their meeting Thursday. This
is the first year that the intercol-
legiate teams have attended the
Tulane meet as part of their tourn-
ament circuit.

Other events on the circuit are
the All Southern held here last
November and the Grand National
Forensic Tournament at Mary
Washington. Fredericksburg, Va.,
in March.

All three tournaments featured
the national subject, Resolved:
that a world federation should be
established.

Club tournament progressed as
Jessie Hodges and Dot Davis af-
firmative team won the decision
over negative Dot Floyd and Jane
Oliver. Subject was Resolved: that
the old cut system should be re-
established. Winners of club tourn-
ament will be announced in chapel
spring quarter and awarded the
plaque.

Touching off winter quarter de-
bating was the nondecision bout
between the Agnes Scott affirma-
tive and the University of Penn-
sylvania negative on the national
subject. On tour, the Penn. team
also debated Tech and Emory as
well as other southern teams.
Last year was the first time the
Pennslyvania teams had stopped
at Agnes Scott. The two schools
had first debated each other in
the ^Grand National at Mary
Washington.

Frosh Groups
Plan Activities

Freshmen interest groups in
art, literature, dramatics and mu-
sic met together for the first time
to plan programs for the year at
a tea given for them Thursday by
C. A. under the direction of Ann
Williamson, recreation chairman.

Each group elected a secretary.
Anna DaVault will serve as sec-
retary of the music group, and
Betty Esco is secretary of the
group interested in dramatics. In
the literature group Betty Averill
is secretary and the art group
elected Julianne Morgan.

The art group under the direc-
tion of Miss Priscilla Lobeck, in-
structor in art, met Tuesday at
5:15 p. m. Their first project will
be clay modeling.

Mr. George P. Hayes, professor
of English, will lead the literature
group and has planned several dis-
cussions on Shakespeare's
"Twelfth Night" and on the works
of Stephen Spender. The music

torios of the world under the
guidance of Mrs. Rebekah Clarke,
instructor in music. Both the mu-
sic and the literature groups will
meet on Thursday at 5:15.

Wilburn, Leyburn,
Hunter Comment
On Broadway Plays

by Ann Sartiiin

Misses Llewellyn Wilburn, El-
len Douglass Leyburn, and Char-
lotte Hunter's account of the plays
they saw in New York during the
Christmas holidays formed the
program for Blackfriar's last
meeting. While there they were
fortunate enough to secure tickets
to many of the plays of the current
season.

They said they were fascinated
by the well constructed psycholo-
gical drama, "A Street Car Nam-
ed Desire", disappointed by Cathe-
rine Cornell in the leading role
of "Anthony and Cleopatra," and
full of admiration for Judith An-
derson as "Medea". They also at-
tended performances of "Com-
mand Decision," "That Winslow
Boy", "L'Allegro," and Dostoyev-
sky's "Crime and Punishment."

They found the outstanding mu-
sical "Brigadoon" particularly en-
tertaining. The latter, a captivat-
ing tale of a Scottish town which
comes to life once every hundred
years, they commented, was mark-
ed by superior dancing and charm-
ing melodies. It was enacted upon
a revolving stage, a novelty in
dramatic presentation. The three
faculty members commented upon
the omission of an intermission in
the uninterupted play "Anthony
and Cleopatra."

Play By Play

By Ginny Andrews

Why is it that Atlanta always has its coldest weather after Christ-
mas? I guess it's to wake us up after all the good times we had at
home during the vacation and the natural aftermath of grogginess on
our part when we return to Agnes Scott.

Well, anyway, we really have been awakened by the last cold spell.
Seniors, yep, even dignified seniors, have been seen out in violent
snowball fights this past week-end. Not only that, but long walks,
too, in the cold weather (at least, as long as from one building to
another!) And as for the sophs, well, they're completely forgotten
about the worn phrase "sophomore slump" and have been seen slid-
ing giddily in front of Main, taking their numerous spills with grace
and, good grace.

Another phase of cold weather exercise can be seen in the dorms.
It's really something of a record the way many shaking sleepy gals,
hear the alarm bell, shoot out of bed, pull down the windows, and
scramble back into bed again. Never before has such speed been seen
at 7:30 a. m. More speed is seen in the dash along the colonade from
Main to Rebekah during the breakfast hours. Even the squirrels seem
to be non-plussed at such at that hour in the morning.

Winter quarter not only brings cold weather but also basketball,
badminton, and senior physicals. In fact things are beginning to take
an airy, ethereal outlook around the gym, what with the angel robes,
the badminton birds flying, and the basketballs soaring heavenward.
However if outward signs are ethereal, some pretty down-to-earth
grumbling can be heard about the angel robes lacking the "new look"
and the basketball forever and always sneaking out the door and
down the steps.

If the weather's cold however, the excitement over the coming
basketball games is quite warm and sincere. This promises to be one
of the most closely matched and interesting seasons we've had. Bet-
ter watch the ball and root for your class team when those games
begin Friday afternoon.

Another mid-winter bit of athletics and warm rooting can be seen
up on third Main. Maybe it's just the hope of summer to come, or
maybe its the lack of exercise right now, but anyway, the bumping,
rolling, and other strenuous forms of reducing have begun again.
It may or may not work wonders, but the main complaint seems to
be, "Why is that floor sooooo hard?"

Another item of interest is the news from the badminton club.
The badminton doubles and singles tournaments will begin this
week-end and will be played off simultaneously. Not as many have
signed up for the matches as in previous years, but the competition
promises to be high as ever. Exhibition matches will be given later
on in the' quarter, said Val Von Lehe, badminton manager.

Forward Cites
Thrills, Spills
Of Basketball

By Floss Hanson

"Everybody in groups of three
for the figure eight." No, it's not
ballet practice, and we're not ice
skating (although the sidewalk
in front of Main offers ample op-
portunity). It's the beginning of
basketball practice session.

"Form two lines!"

"Run!"

"Shoot!"

"Don't let the ball touch the
ground."

"Lookout everybody, here comes
Warlick!"

Those are just a few of the cries
that split the air of the Gym.

Of course everyone knows that
the one object of basketball is to
get a huge ball through a tiny
net suspended in the stratosphere.
However the ways of gaining this
objective are many and varied.
First there is the method of stand-
ing with both feet planted firmly
on the ground and heaving the
ball with all your might toward
the basket only to have it miss
and bounce out of the door.

A second method consists of a
running start, a soaring leap, the
toss, and the landing in a heap
(poetical, too). While these actions
of the forward are taking place
there is a certain obstructive in-
strument in the game known as a
guard who is far from idle. She
follows you incessantly waving her
multitudinous arms in your face
and making a nuisance of herself
in general. (No foolin', I once
counted five arms on one guard
they're awesome.)

Enough, though, of the finer
points of the game. Come on down
to the gym and see for yourself
the thrills and spills of the bas-
ketball world.

Board Entertains

A. A. had its second open house
of the year the first Saturday
night of winter quarter. Although
there was only a small group pre-
sent, the party seemed to have
been a success.

Faculty and students were en-
tertained with swimming, bad-
minton, ping-pong, folk dancing,
and bridge. Refreshments includ-
ed doughnuts and cide/.

Active Season Seen
For Winter Sports

A look into winter quarter sports plans reveal an active
and exciting season. Swimming, badminton and basketball
are the major sports.

Charlotte Evans, swimming manager, tells plans of a
water show early in March. This will replace the water

pageant which, in contrast, is
built around a theme. The water
show will consist of water ballets,
and exhibitions of individual skills.
If you are interested in participat-
ing tryouts are any afternoon at
5.

Swimming club has some ad-
ditional plans for fun and will
hold tryouts for membership some-
time this quarter.

Basketball will be bigger and
better this year promises manager
Julianne Cook. If numbers mean
anything she is correct. An un-
precedented number of players
have turned out for practice. The
frosh have about seventeen on
their squad, the sophs have about
thirty to choose from, the juniors
have some twenty-five players
and the seniors are promising a
team.

The first game will be Friday
afternoon and will alternate every
week from afternoon to night. On
Friday the teams will choose op-
ponents by blind-folding each class
manager and putting each in a
different corner of the court. The
first pair to touch each other will
become opponents. The class man-
agers are Anne Brooks for the
frosh, Mary Louise Warlick, soph,
June Davis, junior, EClaire Cun-
ningham, senior.

Mrs. Williams will officiate aid-
ed by B. J. Radford and Genet
Heery. For the first time Athletic
Association will sell cokes and
cheese crackers to help pay the
officials.

Last Friday the frosh beat the
sophs in a practice game 10-9 and
the seniors won 20-18 over the
juniors. While these scores do
not prove anything conclusively
they do predict some close and
exciting games for the future. The
season will end March 5 with the
varsity-subvarsity game.

Amateur Show
Discloses
Hidden Talent

Many of the "flowers born to
blush unseen" will no longer waste
their sweeetness after the Stu-
dent-government sponsored tal-
ent shows today and tomorrow in
assembly.

The shows, written, produced,
and presented by members of the
classes unaccustomed to such ac-
tivities, will be judged on spirit,
talent itself and how "undiscover-
ed" it is, originality, and person-
ality of the presentations. Judges
are W. A. Calder, professor of
physics, Miss Margaret Phythian,
associate professor of French, and
Miss Margaret Lyon, assistant in
physical education.

The winning class, and points
won by each class toward the
class spirit cup will be announced
after the last performance Thurs-
day. Counting for points for the
cup will be chapel attendance and
merits of each class's presentation.

Sophomores, having won the at-
tendance contest in chapel last
week, set the pace for t the order
of the presentations. Juniors, un-
der the direction of Newell Tur-
ner, led off and seniors, headed
by June Driskill, completed todays
program. Cathy Davis is directing
the sophomore production, slated
for tomorrow, and Jennelle Spear
heads the freshman production
crew who will bring down the cur-
tains on the strictly amateur
shows.

Cilley Speaks
On Camoes

Miss Melissa Cilley, assistant

Miss Cilley read her paper,
"Camonologica Brasileira" or "The
Study of Camoes in Brazil," to
the convention.

Her paper is a study of Camoes,
the great epic poet of Portugal
and Brazil, and his national epic,
"Os Lusiadas," in Brazil. About
350 people from the United States,
Canada, and Mexico were present
at the convention.

Miss Cilley also attended a
meeting of the Modern Languages
Association of America which met
in Detroit at the same time.

Frierson To Lead Faculty

Students Note
Novel Customs
At Christmas

Agnes Berentzen, Marianela Se-
gura, and Eva Finklestein, special
students from Norway, Puerto
Rico, and Poland, finding home
out of reach spent Christmas holi-
days in the United States in dif-
ferent surroundings and unaccus-
tomed traditions.

Agnes Berentzen, whose Nor-
wegian Christmases have always
been deep white, celebrated a
southern Christmas with Louise
Cousar and her family in Florence,
S. C. Agnes missed the snow and
the customs of putting out bundles
of oats for the birds, and a bowl
of porridge for Saint Nick, but she
was fascinated by the fact that
American Santa Claus slides down
the chimney. Norway's practical
Santa walks through the door.
Part of her vacation Agnes spent
in Washington, D. C, seeing a few
flakes of snow and mapy of the
usual tourist "sights."

Polish Eva Finklestein, accus-
tomed to wading through head-
high drifts of snow in Warsaw,
felt at home in New York's record
snowfall. Highlight of her holiday-
was her short talk with A. A.
Gromyko during the USSR-Pales-
tine Friendship dinner given n
response to his speech in support
of the partition of Palestine. Top-
ping this experience was the
thrill of receiving her ring and
announcing her engagement to
Max Silver, shortly after her re-
turn to school.

Marianela Segura, who has yet
to see snow, stayed in Atlanta
visiting her sister, Mrs. H. H.
Fleming. Christmas eve she went
to late mass, and she remarked
that the church was not crowded
as in Puerto Rico. She noticed, too,
that Atlanta's busy crowds lacked
the fiesta atmosphere found all
over Puerto Rico where the streets
are lined with stands decked out
with toys for the Christmas sea-
son.

Marianela found it hard to
come back to school on Jan. 5 for
on that night in Puerto Rico grass,
corn, and water are placed under
beds in anticipation of the coming
of three wise men on camels.

of the woman's division of the
Methodist church spoke Wednes-
day, Jan. 14, to a group of stu-
dents interested in the three-year
plan for teaching English in Jap-
anese schools.

Miss Bieri discussed the Metho-
dist Mission Board's proposal to
send college graduates over 21, to
a training school in New York
state and then on to Japan. These
will not go as missionaries but
as teachers of English, she ex-
plained. They will, Miss Bieri add-
ed, endeavor to interest the Japan-
ese in Sunday Schools.

She pointed out that the three-
year plan is the first of its kind
and comes as a response to Gen-
eral MacArthur's plea for mis-
sionaries.

tained from 155 Fifth Avenue.

Wiggins Teaches
Education at A.S.C.

Agnes Scott and Emory are ex-
changing professors as well as
students these days. Sam P. Wig-
gins, professor of education at Em-
ory, is conducting a course in edu-
cation on campus this quarter.

Mr. Wiggins, who received his
masters degree from Duke Uni-
versity, majored in social science
minoring in French and mathe-
matics at Georgia Teachers Col-
lege.

His scholastic career was in-
terrupted for five years when he
entered the navy in 1942. Mr. Wig-
gins served as minesweeping of-
ficer, gunnery officer and com-
munications officer as well as dis-
trict operations officer of the 7th
naval district.

Musical-minded Mr. Wiggins
spent his extra-curricular college
hours in the symphony and dance
orchestras, and the concert band.
He sang in the male chorus and
mixed glee club.

fare, meals, rooms, transporta-
tion, tickets to theatre and tours.
Miss Winter announced that the
first twelve girls to sign up will go,
and the first of Feburary is the
deadline.

From the minute the group
steps off the Silver Comet Thurs-
day afternoon life will be one
whirl of sightseeing intersperced
with shopping and theatre. Sche-
duled for the first day is general
sightseeing such as Broadway and
Fifth Avenue, dinner and theatre.

Friday starts off with Rocke-
feller Centre taking in a show at
the Radio City Music Hall. In the
afternoon Modern Museum or
shopping, if preferred, is on the
agenda climaxed by dinner and
the theatre.

Saturday a. m. plans include
Metropolitan Museum and Central
Park with lunch in the vicinity.
The afternoon is free for shopping,
movies, or whatever the group
plans with theatre in the evening.

Sunday morn starts off bright
and early with a tour of Manhat-
tan ending at the Cathedral of

St. John the Divine for morning
services. Lunch at Greenwich Vil-
lage with a look at Whitney Mu-
seum is proposed with a tour of
NBC studio in the afternoon stay-
ing for a broadcast. Chinatown
beckons as the "don't miss" for
dinner.

Monday morning, until 12:45
when the Silver Comet heads
south, is free to revisit favorite
spots or to satisfy a pet dream
with the thought of riding out to
Staten Island on the ferry, weath-
er permitting.

Three performances from the
galaxy of theatre offerings will
be chosen depending on availabili-
ty of tickets. "Medea", "Briga-
doon", "Man and Superman", "A
Streetcar Named Desire", 'An-
tony and Cleopatra', are billed.

Atmospheric restaurants like
little French ones will be chosen
and visited depending on where
the group is at meal time.

At present hotel reservations
are uncertain but the Taft will
possibly be chosen for its cen-
tral location. Four girls will stay
in each room.

PaulineWilson
To Inaugurate
Marital Talks

Mrs. Pauline Park Wilson, of
the University of Georgia, will in-
augurate the 1948 series of mar-
riage classes with lectures Friday,
Jan. 30 and Thursday, Feb. 5 on
the psychological, sociological, and
emotional backgrounds for mar-
riage, Pagie Violette, president of
Mortar Board, announced.

All the classes, which are spon-
sored by Mortar Board, are open
to seniors and engaged students.

Biological and physiological as-
pects of marriage will be the topic
for lectures by Dr. Eugenia Jones,
college physician, Feb. 11, 18, and
25. The speaker for the last lec-
ture, on budgeting, will be an-
nounced later.

Mrs. Wilson, professor of home
economics and dean of the School
of Home Economics at the Uni-
versity of Georgia, is widely
known throughout the south for
her lectures on marriage problems,
according to Miss Mildred Mell,
professor of sociology, who, with
Miss Carrie Scandrett, dean, se-
cured the speaker. Formerly pro-
fessor of home economics at the
University of Alabama, Mrs. Wil-
son has been visiting lecturer at
the Tulane University marriage
clinic.

Jsvey Jamboree Catapults
Campus Into Confusion

By Lee Cousar

The campus is in an uproar, a constant state of confusion!
Not since the day when 10:30 p. m. was suggested as late
time limit has there been so much tension, excitement, and
anticipation in the air.

Last Thursday, for example, the junior class had a called
meeting in which their president

W. S. S. F. Drive

(Continued from page 1)

sum of $100 was given to the fund
following a "starvation dinner"
observed by boarding students
Jan. 15. The "starvation dinner"
was planned to exclude meat, des-
sert, and butter from the menu.
The money saved was added to the
fund.

stood before them desperately
pleading. "Please," she implored
with a break in her voice, "please,
can anyone get hold of some long
flannels. It means so much to your
class!"

Dendy vs. Faculty

And then there was the case of
that mad musical genius, Nancy
Dendy. Every day last week after
chapel a drama was performed in
which Nancy and a male member
of the faculty (a different one
each day) were the actors.

A careful examination of the
faculty member's vocal cords by
Nancy was the first act in this
drama. In the next scene our mad
genius would shake her finger
threateningly in the face of her
superior, and the last act w r ould
find Nancy on her knees, lifting
her tear-streaked face to her pro-
fessor and saying, "But you can
sing! I know you can sing!"
Boyd Breaks

Of course, we mustn't neglect
to mention that what neither wind,
snow, nor fifty years' service as
an asylum could shake Boyd Cot-
tage has been on the verge of a
complete collapse.

Every afternoon, chairman Por-
ter drags several unsuspecting per-
sons into Boyd and has them per-
form in rhythm with the pierc-
ing notes of "By The Sea." The
performance consists of having

two people stand on either side
of a room and toss someone back
and forth between them. Occas-
sionally one of the performers
can't accumulate quite the energy
necessary to heave the poor hu-
man all the way across the room,
and, consequently, another dent
is added to Boyd, not to mention
the sufferings of the human foot-
ball.

Gay Glimpse

Even the individual rooms on
campus appear affected. Entering
one room I found that the beds
had been taken out, and the in-
habitant was trying to figure out
the most artistic way to arrange
the ten or twelve tables of all
sizes and shapes that she had col-
lected from nearby rooms.

In the next room Butch Hayes
was discovered scotch-taping (no
tacks!) her Gibson-Girl-attired
roommate to the wall "just to
get the general effect," while
across the room a hideous mus-
tached villian, attired in checker-
board pants and swinging a cane,
leered at "himself" in the mirror

On and on you go, but the far-
ther you go the more amazing are
the sights. Finally, it hits you like
your alarm clock at 7 p. m.! All
this is the handiwork of the jun-
iors preparing for February 7
and the grand opening of Diamond
Jim's Golden Horseshoe.

AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE, WED. JANUARY 21, 1948

You Tell Us

With fresh beginnings on the brain and another quarter
lying before us in its usual paper blank freshness the News
would like to take time out to size up a few situations, in re-
gard to policy and its relation to you.

Over the dear dim holidays if we thought of campus life at
all it was probably with a more detached view than when in
the thick of things. Very possibly our pet peeves and gripes
of the quarter congealed into a few basic principles. We de-
cided just what changes we would really like to see take
place at school; just what we wanted to keep at status quo.

To play the vital part in campus life the News aspires to
play, we must be the printed embodiment of You, your
opinions, thought trends, and actions. Whatever and when-
ever opinions you form let them b^ known. We are your
mouthpiece. Use us.

A. S. Toe Hold

On Internationalism

To be a student is to live in a world bounded by the limi-
tations of the mind of man. Those limitations go beyond ar-
tificial and geographical lines of demarcation.

To have as one's purpose the discovery of truth is to be
closely akin to others who strive toward the same goal. That
kinship goes beyond ties of blood and race.

Response to the drive for World Student Service Fund
seems to indicate that such an international point of view and
spirit of intellectual comradeship has gained a toe hold at
least at Agnes Scott. Student and faculty contributions to the
drive total $750. The proceeds from Junior Joint should give
us much more than our thousand quota.

Christian association has done well in conducting the drive.
They have worked with a coorperative student body so far.

That Agnes Scotters are students, not just collegians, has
been proved. It remains to be seen to what degree we are
sympathetic with the search for knowledge on a world-wide
scale.

Spiced Intellectual Fare

To season our gray matter with a few spices for special
winter thinking seems to be the New Year's resolution for the
Lecture series.

Robert Frost, whom we like to consider campus poet, was
first on the agenda of the food for thought program. Mr. Frost's
rare combination of poetic intellectual insight and earthy
New England common sense leaves us breathless following
into new thought trends.

Vera Dean com^s next week to discuss the biggest question
mark on the globe Russia. Just what happens between us
and this colussus of the East will affect more than the size
of the future history books.

The world being what it is today in proximity to know the
score on Russia is well worth our while. No book report, class
assignment or date is going to determine our futures as Rus-
sia will. There's a good chance a thought for tomorrow, now,
on the part of every college student may save regret, em-
barrassment, and disaster when tomorrow comes.

New Rating For Dating

Seniors on the chaperon list may have fewer social en-
gagements this quarter, but not even they could begrudge
freshmen their brand new privileges.

The classes of '50 and '51 have both proved themselves
worthy of self-chaperonage and they reap their just rewards
in the new dating privileges Student government has be-
stowed upon them. Our representatives to Exec have gauged
the degree of maturity reached by freshmen and sophomores
and concluded that they are ready for more freedom from
social restrictions than second quarter under classmen have
ever enjoyed.

That looks like a favorable comment on the two classes
and it proves that Student government is sensitive to campus
needs and trends. We hope that the Executive committee has
been correct in interpreting this need for change. We think
they have.

Exhibit Shows
Modern Style
In Architecture

By Cama Clarkson

"People who live in glass houses
shouldn't throw stones!" antique-
lovers wittily reply to criticism
from modern functionalists. But
if your conception of the modern
trend of architecture is no more
than a vague impression of con-
crete buildings with harsh lines
liberal use of glass, the exhibit
now shown in Buttrick 321 should
be a pleasant surprise.

"Modern American Homes," cir-
culated from the Museum of Mod-
ern Art, was opened Jan. 15 with
a lecture by Harold Bush-Brown,
head of the department of archi-
tecture at Tech. In the exhibit to
be shown until Jan. 29 are photo-
graphs of houses built through-
out the United States by out-
standing architects of today. Mr.
Bush-Brown, the captions in the
exhibit, based on "If You Want to
Build a House" by E. B. Mock, and
the cartoons by R. Osborn graphi-
cally point out the advantages of
the modern functionalistic home.

Because the architectural pro-
blems of a house remain the same
throughout the years, Mr. Bush-
Brown explained that changes in
the styles of houses are usually
shocking to the public. He pointed
out that the goal of architects in
building a dwelling place is to se-
cure the maximum of healthful
sunshine, clean comfort, and ef-
ficient convenience for the dweller.

Mr. Bush-Brown named new
materials, notably (or notorious-
ly), glass, steel, and concrete,
plus the cantilever method of con-
struction which he thinks afford
new solutions to these problems.

As the photographs prove, dif-
ferent architects have widely di-
verging styles because the pro-
blems to be solved, the tastes of
the individual homeowners, the
surrounding landscape, and the
artistic imagination of the archi-
tects combine to produce interest-
ing and exciting homes.

The styles illustrated in this ex-
hibit range from Frank Lloyd
Wright's romantic Bear Run house
with a waterfall flowing directly
beneath the living room to Carl
Koch's two hill-top houses with
glass partitions which allow the
views of land and sky to permeate
the structure and flow through the
house. The interiors with their
walls, patios, and box gardens
present the new feeling of being
indoors and out of doors at the
same time.

Cabb

ages and Kings

By Mary Beth Little

Ernest Rogers says, <; A human interest column Is one in
which the columnist is the only human with an interest in
it." Now this could have two connotations as I see it: one, no
one else has its interest at heart by doing anything for it.

Now my daily horrorscope tells me I'm destined to fill, a
sentence (it could only mean ver-

the gym; another smaller shadow-
streaking behind it. Solution to
the mystery: Mr. Nightwatchman
unsuccessfully chasing his run-
away car that actualy took a nose
dive down the slope in front of
the tennis courts. Happy news: no
damage.

Dormitory echoes: a classic
phrase coined in Inman at B. C.
packing time "Sure do wish you
could dehydrate clothes!" And a
quavering query made memorable
by the dazed and amazed qualit>
of inflection (also by a frosh) in
reference to some exam week car-
ol-serenading by several voices
decidedly tenor and bass: "Are
they really men?!?"

Happy New Year
And lastly, why did the snow-
ball? Answer next weeek at the
same time. Rip off two convertible
tops, write an essay on "Why" or
(for advanced student only)
"How," and mail with one dollar
(for your Agnes Scott Calendar)
and the ariswer will be sent to you
promptly in the secret code. Don't
be a mere shadow of yourself
from the strain of waiting for
the next "Cabbages" get your an-
swer EARLY, TODAY!!

bal of course!) so I'm sure it is
with bated breath you await this
column each week. And I guess
with all the "forced labor, and
more frequently forced hopes"
(Wordsworth no less) that we
have 'round these hyar parts plus
the nervous strain of anticipating
"Cabbages" you just don't have
time to cut the capers for the
paper. s

Time Was, B. C.

Time was, B. C. (before Christ-
mas), when things were happen-
ing faster than popcorn. And no
News that week! "Tis Fate that
flings the dice" (Dryden this
time).

Lovely things with no papyrus
to preserve them. For example:
Pre-exam feeling uttered by a
freshman, "I feel like a tear look-
ing for a place to drop ..." and
the now well known summons to
one Cunninghamite: "Tolly,
phone!"

And then there was the sad case
of two seniors who boarded the
train in Decatur, just trying to
help a pal by playing virtual mov-
ing van. And chuf chuf chuf with
ca-laks on the tracks and a whistle
and a fuff they were off! Very
meekly they persuaded the con-
ductor of their plight. Avoiding
glares and stares they waited til
the emergency called the mad
choo choo to a resentful pause
where they hopped off and trudg-
ed through the weather back to
civilization.

Another mournful tale: there
was an umbrella which would not
stay up unless held at the under-
top as well as the handle. Ever
try walking through the rain car-
rying suitcases, two heads com-
pletely clunked together and cov-
ered as by a fallen circus tent?
Probably not as bad from the in-
side as from the outside: pedes-
trians fled; drivers had to soothe
rearing autohosses. You'd think
the least a two bodied monster
could do would be to wear a bon-
net on its pen head.

Farther Time

A certain party was heard im-
ploring another to tell her the
secret of "The Wizard." The first
party replied that she had sworn
on the Bible not to tell. Immed-
iately the second party came up
with the shocking suggestion that
they "swear off the Bible for
a while."

Speaking of the Wizard, Nancy
Dendy requests that all students
who haven't met this amazing per-
son will please contact her, and
she will introduce them. (This is

You Said It

Editor,

I hardly know what to w r rite; in
fact, T think I have written too
much already. I wish I could "un-
say" what I've said; I can't undo
what I've already done, but I can
say I'm sorry!

I do apologize for the unthought-
ful article which I wrote in the
Technique several weeks ago, and
I mean it! I'm sorry that I wrote
anything which could cause so
much ill will and hard feelings
Honestly, I didn't intend it in any
mean way at all.

I meant it in the spirit of fun,
but now I see how easily the mean-
ing could have been interpreted
differently. It wasn't very nice! At
any rate, "Pegler,* Jr." has learned
a lesson. Please forgive him and
give him another chance!

Sincerely,
Tom W. Jay

his debut as a concert organist
in Cincinnati, Ohio. By 1938 he
had acquired a long list of Euro-
pean engagements.

Little to Reign As May Queen

Classes Elect Court Attendants;
N. Deal Named Maid of Honor

Mary Beth Little, author of last year's May Day scenario
and attendant to the May Queen for two years, was selected
Tuesday by the student body to reign over this year's May
festivities. Nancy Deal will attend her as maid of honor..
Mary Beth's court, nominated by the classes last week and

elected Tuesday, will include sen-
iors, June Irvine, Beth Jones, and
Mary Manly; juniors, Mimi Ar-
nold, Betty Blackmon, Julianne
Cook, and Elizabeth Williams;
sophomores Casey Chance, Cama
Clarkson, and Beryl Crews; and
freshmen attendants Sally Jack-
son, and Louise Sanford.

The May Queen and hjer court
will reign at the annual May Day
celebration, this year highlighted
by the presentation of "A May
Day Legend" senario by Nancy
Parks, junior. "A May Day Le-
gend" is an original fairy -story
featuring scenes representing the
various months of the year. The
musical treatment of this year's
senario will be different from that
of previous productions, Chairman
Maxine Kickliter announced.

The complete cast for "A May
Day Legend" will be chosen at a
later date.

N. Y. Holiday
Offers Sights,
Thrills To 12

Agnes Scotters intrigued by the
prospect of holidaying in New
York in the spring are urged to
contact Miss Roberta Winter, of
the speech department, or Miss
Pricilla Lobeck, of the art de-
partment.

Those who are interested in go-
ing to New York for an extended
weekend spring holidays with the
group of 12 chaperoned by Miss
Winter and Miss Lobeck may sign
the slip printed on page five of
last week's News. Miss Winter ex-
plained that this does not con-
stitute a formal registration. She
explained that students who sign
the slip or contact her or Miss
Lobeck may register or not later,
according to what they decide.

Hotel reservations and theatre
tickets have been applied for and
other plans are progressing, Miss
Winter disclosed. She said that
she and Miss Lobeck hope to ar-
range for the group to go back-
stage after play performances,
and take one of those reportedly
romantic rides through Central
Park.

U. S. Culture Topic
For Curti Lecture

"American Civilization, in the
World Perspective" will be Dr.
Merle Eugene Curti's lecture topic
Tuesday, Feb. 3, in Gaines au-
ditorium at 8 p. m.

Professor of history at the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin and an author-
ity on American thought, Dr. Cur-
ti is lecturing at both Emory and
Agnes Scott. Monday night at
Emory he will initiate his series
with "The American Mind in Post-
war Eras." Wednesday, Feb. 4, he
speaks to the history classes using
American cultural subjects for his
discussions.

Among Dr. Curti's books are
"The Growth of American
Thought," "Peace or War the
American Struggle" and "The
Roots of American Loyalty."

Convert Dessert to Bread

Agnes Scott students feasted one night this month on ban-
quet fare. They called it a "starvation meal."

Either term is accurate depending on where you set your
dinner table. In France such a meal would be a feast. For
Agnes Scott College it was nearer famine than feast even
though it followed a bountiful lunch and preceded a break-
fast fairly teeming with caloric content.

That meal added almost one hundred dollars worth of
nourishment and energy to the diets of European students.
No appreciable difference could be noted in the waist lines
of sacrificial students here.

Mrs. White to Lead
Frosh Discussion

Following her talk to freshmen
on human relations Monday, Mrs.
Ed White, the former Jane Taylor,
class of '42, will conduct an infor-
mal question and answer period
in Inman lobby tonight at 9:30.

While at Agnes Scott Mrs.
White served as president of Mor-
tar Board and was a member of
Phi Beta Kappa. After graduation
she was Director of Religious Edu-
cation at the First Presbyterian
Church in Baton Rouge, Louisiana,
and later worked in the dean's of-
fice at the University of Colorado.

Freshmen have been asked to put
any question they would like Mrs.
White to answer in a box in In-
man. Day students are invited to
the discussion. Mrs. White is
sponsored by the orientation pro-
gram.

Vera Dean Cites Russian Hopes For Peace,
Balance of Power, U. S. Internal Collapse

"Both the United States and
Russia are following a policy bas-
ed on the hope of internal collapse
within the other country," Mrs.
Vera Micheles Dean, director of
research department of the
Fdreign Policy association, de-
clared in an interview before her
lecture Tuesday night.

Mrs. Dean, an authority on Rus-
sia, expressed her belief that when
the U. S. masters inflation and
Russia completes her recovery
program both countries will have
to decide to get along, and that
the channel through which they
must work is the U. N.

"Russia does not want war and
will do everything in her power
to avert it," she continued, sight-
ing examples like the situation in

By Lorton Lee

Greece when Russia as a great
land power could easily have
over run the country and taken
control of the government.

At present Mrs. Dean believes
that the United States and Rus-
sia, the two super powers remain-
ing after the destruction of the
balance of power of 1914, are at-
tempting to establish themselves
in the strongest bargaining posi-
tions from which they can strike
a new balance of power. She cites
the Marshall plan for European
relief as the U. S.'s most construc-
tive item of barter.

"It is constructive because it
places us with the weapon most
suited to our skill," she explained.
"The United States is an economic
rather than a military power," she

continued, "and Russia's objec-
tion to the Marshall plan lies in
her realization of that fact and
her desire for European recovery
friendly and beneficial to her."

As to the question of commun-
ism in this country Mrs. Dean said
that in her opinion the main ap-
peal was the racial tolerance of
the Russian government.

Mrs. Dean does not think that
investigations into communist ac-
tivities are the answer to check-
ing the spread of communism in
this country. These probes, she
pointed out, are dangerous be-
cause through them we are doing
exactly the things for which we
condemn Russia. She said that our
defense against communism lies

Merry-go- Round

By Mildred Claire Jones

The book was hastily jerked open. A swish of paper gave
evidence of a notebook's being searched frantically. This was
obviously a dormitory room, with the last remnants of a
wonderful weekend cast aside and a grim determination in
their place.

As she looked for her assign-
ment sheet, she mused, "This
weekend was perfect. Friday night
I went to the Phi Delt Formal at
Peachtree Gardens. Everybody
looked so pretty in their formals.

we went to a KA Leap Year Dance
and there were Joann Peterson,

"Glimpsed at the Naval Air

Steele. The Rainbow Roof must
have been a gathering place for
Scott girls too because I saw Mil-
dred Claire Jones, Gretch Rein-
artz, Candy Hollandsworth, Nancy
Brown, Sally Bussey, Teeka Long,
and Jessie Carpenter. Seems that
everybody was having a huge time.

"Some of the girls had their
good times at home, or at least
out of town. Helen Christian went
to Elberton, Weezie and Grace

"The freshmen were popular
over the weekend too. Gene Wil-

the Delta house at Tech, while
Betty Williams was at the SAE

B. J. Foster and Betty Averill quite
a rush, and Betty Rawls and Beryl
Crews danced with the Kappa
Si^s.

"Margaret Anne Richards look-

Beth Jones and Fritz Hale and
their dates to go to the Tech ATO

garet Brewer at the Phi Kappa
Tau house and Sarah Hancock at
the PiKA house.

on the campus. In fact the David-
son boys sort of took over. Ju-
lianne Cook's Morris, Candy Hol-
landsworth's brother and a visitor,
Anne Elcan's Ronnie, and Gretch
Reinartz's Walter all represented
Davidson. One of the most excited
girls on campus was Nancy Parks

Frost Donates
Rare Items

To Library

Robert Frost added several rare
collector's items to the library's
Frost collection on his visit here
last week. The additions include
an original etching by J. J. Lan-
kees, an early illustrator of his
books; one of the poet's own ori-
ginal bookplates; and four poems
written on half sheets of paper in
Mr. Frost's own hand.

Since November, 1935, when Mr.
Frost first came to this campus,
the collection has grown to in-
clude at least one copy of each of
his major books. In addition the
library has a wealth of miscell-
aneous material which reflects his
life, his work, and his position in
the estimation of fellow writers
and critics.

The nucleus of the collection is
the aggregate of material which
Mr. Frost has given Miss Emma
May Laney, of the English depart-
ment, on his various visits. Miss
Laney's generosity in donating
these gifts to the library has, to
a large degree, made the collec-
tion possible. Many of these copies
of his poems are inscribed to Miss
Laney in the poet's own hand. In
his"Collected Poems," published in
1930, he has written,

"To Emma May Laney
From her friend

Robert Frost
his poetry in the form
he has most enjoyed
seeing them in."

The library is also indebted to
Miss Laney for several first edi-
tions, pictures, book announce-
ments, and book jackets, which
she has contributed.

The collection now includes a
complete set of his distinctive
Christmas cards for the past two
years, and at least one or two
copies of all those printed since
they were first presented in 1934.

Please, everybody, says Barbie Lawson, get those posters in EARLY
lor the big A. A. Poster Contest! With broken voice, trembling lips,
and a determined look, she asked me to broadcast her plea so here
goes, pull-eze get those posters in early. Let your creative urge and
the prize inspire you!!

Another announcement is that as of last week and throughout
the quarter, cokes and crackers will be sold at the basketball games.
So bring a little extra change down with you when you go to root for
your class team, and you'll enjoy the game much more.

There has been plenty of activity going on down at the Gym this
past week. Weary badminton players have been playing at such a
rate that they can't even carry a bird without using both hands b/
the time they leave the courts.

Big plans are now, in progress for the coming swimming pageant
and for the officials club which, too, will begin shortly. The officials
club will cover only basketball this quarter.

However, the biggest recent activity was purely physical, not
mental. It occured at the last Board meeting. Seems Sharkey wanted
to play watchman at the window, so as she dangled limply out the up-
stairs window, several anxious fellow-board members held on to her
nether parts just to keep their Sharkey with them. Just goes to show,
the will, muscle control, and open windows don't necessarily lead to
more obvious temptations of heights.

Badminton Season
Opens Monday

The winter quarter badminton
tournament opened with the first
match played off Monday, Jan. 26.
The tournament is scheduled te
last until Feb. 5.

Both the singles and doubles
tournament will be running simul-
taneously. "We hope to have some
exhibition matches after every-
thing gets going smoothly," says
manager, Val von Lehe. Last
year's doubles winners, Emily
Wright and Jackie Stewart have
entered the competition along with
twelve other couples in the doubles
and fourteen girls playing in the
singles.

The Gym will be open for bad-
minton from 3 to 5 p. m. on Tues-
days and Thursdays as well as
class periods.

Sophs'Talents,

Capture Show

An outburst of song for the
victorious sophomores ended the
three day old battle Friday be-
tween the classes to determine the
group with the most undiscovered
talent.

The winning skit, presented
Thursday, was cast in the form
of a fairy-tale. Prince Charming,
Beryl Crews, visited a family of
talented girls, composed, of course,
of sophomores, in order to choose
a wife. Vocal solos by Frankie
Morris and Betty Asbill, a clarinet
solo by Barbara Wood, dancing by
Charlotte Bartlett, and the star-
ring event of the morning, a selec-
tion by a newly formed sophomore
band, provided the prize winning
exhibit of hitherto hidden talent.

Running a close second to the
winner was the freshman scientific
expedition, carried on by "Dr.
Strepto Coccus", alias H. T. Cox
of the biology department. Having
hunted in vain for a particular
virus, he finally found the one
freshman virus unblessed with
hidden talent.

Seniors carried out the student
government theme, "Do As Well
As Dream," and juniors presented
a talent scout search.

Points were given toward the
student government cup for win-
ning the skit, and for attendance.
The freshman class was awarded
points for having the best atten-
dance percentage.

Sophs and Juniors
Take Opening Game

By Floss Hanson

The 1948 basketball season got off to an exciting start Fri-
day afternoon when the sophs defeated the seniors 39 to 21
and the juniors defeated the frosh 27 to 20.

Highlighting the opening of the season was the method
used in determining the opponents. The four captains sen-
ior, EClaire Cunningham; junior,

June Davis; sophomore, Genie
Pascal; and freshman, Virginia
Kay were blindfolded and led out
from the four corners of the court.
The first two who touched were
Virginia and June, thus deciding
the adversaries.

The seniors, taking the ball in
the center first, got off to a fast
start with Lou McLaurin sinking
a basket a few minutes after the
game started. Ann Williamson im-
mediately retaliated with four
points for the sophomores. The
game was a fast moving one with
sophomore Mary Louise Warlick's
crip shots and senior Lou McLau-
rin's deadly long shots affording
many exciting minutes.

The sophs were ahead at the
half 22 to 14 and maintained that
lead throughout the entire second
half. Some of the outstanding fea-
tures of the game were Genie Pas-
cal's lightning-like movements
around the court and the guarding
of Betty Cole and'Doc Dunn.

The junior-frosh game was
every bit as exciting as the first
with the lead going from one team
to the other. The juniors received
the first toss from center but the
frosh captured the ball to sink the
first shot of the game.

From that point it was nip and

tuck with Virginia Kay putting
them through the hoop for the
frosh and Bunny Brannan swishing
them for the juniors.

Out in front at the half 15-14,
the juniors swept on to victory
with Sally Ellis scoring two beau-
tiful goals. Other features of the
game were the guarding of June
Harris and Jennelle Spear, fresh-
men, and Reese Newton, junior.

In a "B" game earlier the jun-
iors defeated the sophs 13 to 4.
Although the players were inex-
perienced they showed great pro-
mise and played a hard fought
game.

Our Right to Maturity

As signs of the times the News poll indicates that the stu-
dent body voices almost unanimously its approval of the
voluntary class attendance system as an ideal.

Further indicator of which way the wind blows is the
fact that 47 per cent approved with reservations. Reserva-
tions based on the differences in interpretation between fac-
ulty and students.

According to campus interpretation the system permits the
student to attend classes at her discretion. Student opinion
indicates that portions of the faculty do not see eye to feye
with students, bringing into the picture penalties and threats.

We feel with the majority that the system is a tangible
acceptance that we, as collegians, have in part reached our
goal of 17 to 21 years maturity. Application of child psy-
chology through coercion to attend class implies a disbelief
in our maturity, our ability to accept responsibility for class
work.

Next week the News will present a poll of faculty view-
points and interpretations. As your organ we shall attempt
to point out the discrepancies between them. Only through
integration of interpretation and faculty-student coopera-
tion can the voluntary absence system become an ideal real-
ity.

But regardless of the events, our policy is based on one
ideal. We do not condone any attempt to abridge our right
to maturity.

Absence System
Wins Acclaim
In Student Poll

The new system of voluntary
class attendance polled an over-
whelming majority over the for-
mer cut system in a survey this
week to discover whether the
average student was groaning or
grinning under the new system.

Of the 75 representative seniors
juniors, and sophomores interview-
ed, 49 per cent voted in favor of
the system as it is now working,
47 per cent prefer it to having
cuts but add complaints about the
interpretation of some of the facul-
ty, while only 5 per cent actually
dislike the practice.

Coming out with such enthusias-
tic exclamations as "Love it,"
"Marvelous," "Thoroughly ap-
prove," students who favor volun-
tary attendance feel that it puts
the responsibility on the student
and as one junior put it, "The idea
of freedom appeals to everyone."

The majority of students be-
lieve that they were absent from
classes less during fall quarter than
any previous quarter. "I like it,
think it works, and want it to
continue," seems to express their
opinion.

An almost equal number of stu-
dents, who approve of the new sys-
tem as an advancement over the
cut, feel that some of the faculty
are hindering its workability.

"A few teachers make it hard
for you to be absent even in case
of necessity," one junior remark-
ed. A sophomore suggested holding
a meeting for the faculty to have
the system explained in the same
light as it was told to the students
this fall.

The few students who advocate
return to the cut system thought
the failure lay in the faculty's
lack of cooperation rather than in
the students' taking advantage of
it.

New Trash Cans Result
In Campus New Look

To make it easy to keep the
campus neat, four new swing-top
trash cans have been placed on
the campus. The east entrance of
Presser and the front entrance of
the library haye been provided
with small cans. Two larger cans
are placed behind the Alumnae
House and outside the book-store
door.

J. C. Tart, business manager-
treasurer, pointed out that the
advantage of this new, more ex-
pensive type trash can over the
old, lift-top type can be seen in
the neater appearance of the cam-
pus.

Campus Night Club
To Be Transformed
Into Reading Room

The ex-Pair-a-dice room, former
haven for campus hep-cats, will
take on a new atmosphere in a
few weeks when it becomes the
International Relations club read-
ing room, open to all students for
reading and studying.

Members of the club plan to
redecorate the room, making new
curtains and providing tables and
chairs suitable for study. Maga-
zines, books, information from
United Nations, charts, pam-
phlets, and other material inter-
esting to students will be placed
on the shelves for general use.

The new reading room will also
be used for regular IRC meetings.

'Mikado'Set
For Feb 27

"The train of pretty ladies", the
chorus in the Agnes Scott's pro-
duction of Gilbert and Sullivan's
"The Mikado," is in rehearsal for
the presentations of the operetta
Feb. 27 here and Feb. 28 at Geor-
gia Tech.

Helen Currie, a graduate of
1947, will sing the contralto role
of Katisha. Miss Currie is now
studying at the Julliard School
of Music in New York. Warren
Lee Terry, widely-known actor of
Gilbert and Sullivan operettas, will
portray the role of Ko Ko.

"The Mikado", a comical story
of love and romance, concerns the
love of a young Japanese girl,
Yum Yum, for % wandering min-
strel, Nanki Poo, who is the Mi-
kado's son in disguise.

Difficulties are provided by
Katisha who also loves Nanki Poo
and threatens to reveal his true
identity and by Ko Ko who, by
law, is engaged to Yum Yum.

Two girls from the Glee club
are cast in each leading role.
Yum Yum will be sung by Mary
Beth Little and Norah Anne Lit-
tle. Jean Osborne and Sara Jane
Campbell will play the part of
Peep-Bo, and the role of Pitti-
Sing will be sung by Susan Bow-
ling and Rosemary Griffin.

The male parts will be played
by members of the Tech Glee club.
Peter Harrower will be the mighty
Mikado, and his son, Nanki Poo,
will be sung by Paul Keckly.
Pooh-Bah, the comic character,
will be portrayed by Bill Johnson,
Pish Tush is to be performed on
alternate nights by Lee Roberts
and Pierce Merry.

News Holds Tryouts

Try-onte for the Agnes Scott
News will begin today and will
continue for two weeks. A list
is on the back bulletin board for
all wonld-be reporters to sign.

Sophomores, juniors, and sen-
iors interested in feature, sports
or news writing are eligible.

Survey Shows
Activity Point
Distribution

Statistics compiled by Hunt
Morris, student recorder, indicate
that student activities are dis-
tributed pretty evenly among
members of the junior and senior
classes, but a few sophomores seem
to have most of the points for the
class.

Hunt emphasized that the fig-
ures are approximate since she ob-
tained them from lists of organi-
zation members and officers.
Freshmen, specials, and transfers
were not included in the survey.

Exceeding the quota for points
were six seniors, eight juniors,
and six sophomores. No points for
activities are carried by 10 sen-
iors, 12 juniors, and 38 sopho-
mores.

Twenty-three seniors, 19 jun-
iors and 10 sophs carry within
four of the maximum number of
activity points allotted to mem-
bers of their class.

Curti Forsees Turmoil In India
Cites Land, Education Problem

A slight, quick-minded authority on history foresees dan-
ger in Gandhi's assassination in the possibility (1) that re-
percussions may take the form of a reconstituted Indian gov-

lecture on "Some Relations Among
the Arts" in 321 Buttrick, at 2

Dr. Monroe, who was formerly
professor of philosophy at Rutgers
and later professor of art at West-

Swoose Acquire Finesse
For 'Swan Lake' Ballet

By Easy Beale

Pas de deux, pas de quatre, and
faux pas (if the hero drops the
heroine) are part of the compli-
cated jargon of the ballet. Such
terms, coupled with the swan-like
treads of 25 hopeful ballerinas, re-
sound through the gym several
nights a week.

The dance group cast aspires to
the perfection seen in the per-
formance of "Swan Lake" by the
Ballet Russe several, weeks ago.

Practices have been sprinkled
with a few minor tragedies, un-
derstandable for such a gigantic
and ambitious undertaking. In one
scene a poor delicate swan faint-
ed away and lay ignored, unnotic-
ed and deserted. The others who
were suppose to gather around
her in deep concern danced blithe-
ly on and only the directors 'ex-
pressed concern.

More astounding than that is

the perfect representation of the
male star.

One member appeared, much
to the surprise of the Swan Lake
crew, all ugly-duckling costumed.
A fellow dancer labeled the en-
semble "a black monstrosity;" an-
other called it "a hobble skirt with
spring." The whole cast wonder-
ed what was it?

Flitting the light fantastic, is
recommended by the ballerinas to
dispel all worries connected with
scholarly pursuits. Their Feb. 14
production is designed for certain
specified groups: (1) you who
would fly from the reality of
drudgery to the fanciful realm of
beauty, (2) you who have dates
and want to convince them that
Agnes Scott has other buildings
than the library, (3) you devotees
to art, and (4) who's heard
Vaughn Monroe's recording of
"Dance, Ballerina, Dance?"

leading to Fascism or Communism
will result.

Dr. Merle Curti, who has re-
cently returned from lecturing
at Indian universities, explained
that "if the violence continues
the military, which is right wing,
will become the power in the gov-
ernment and may admit more
rightish groups."

"If the Mahasabahas, the
group of Hindu reactionaries re-
sponsible for the assassination,
succeed in pushing Prime Minister
Nehru off the field and gain con-
trol of the government, it will be
a real tragedy," he continued, "for
my fear is that they will greatly
slow down the adjustment India
must make."

Dr. Curti discussed the poor
economic situation of the masses
and the great need for some kind
of land reform. Although the pre-
sent government, a coalition of
different shades of the Congress
party, has taken steps toward
such reforms, he cited instances of
present revolts.

"Already in Malabar on the
southwestern coast the people, un-
der the leadership of the national
communists, have been in revolt
for the last year, seizing control
of land," he declared, adding that
this was a small picture of what
might happen all over India if
this pressing problem is side-

Eight Sign for Trip
To New York City;
Four Places Vacant

Eight girls have signed up for
the extended weekend in New
York planned by Miss Roberta
Winter and Miss Priscilla Lobeck
for spring holidays.

Twelve is the maximum set for
the group by the two chaperons.

The time between March 17,
when the group leaves, and March
23, the date of their return, will
be crammed with the theatre, art
museums, and about every phase
of New York life, according to the
schedule Miss Lobeck and Miss
Winter have arranged.

Miss Winter pointed out that
persons interested in the trip
should contact her or Miss Lobeck
right away since reservations
must be made soon.

Junior Joint festivities slated for Saturday will transform
the gym into a Gay Nineties cabaret, Diamond Jim's Golden
Horse-Shoe.

Lillian Russells who will represent each class in competing
for the crown of Diamond Jim's Jamboree were introduced in
assembly today with skits reflect-
ing the spirit of the Nineties' clas-
sic melodrama. One of the four
Lillians Annelle Simpson, fresh-
man; Donnie King, sophomore;
Val von Lehe, junior; or Amanda
Hulsey, senior, will reign as queen
of the Diamond Horse-shoe.

The contest will be decided by
votes in the form of pennies. Pro-
ceeds from Junior Joint will go
to Wbrld Student Service Fund.

Junior "Lillian", Val von Lehe,
was the heroine of the melodrama
"Arsenic and Old Face" in which
the two old ladies of the original
Arsenic play turned to seeking
the one ingredient which would
end all human misery. The only
ingredient found to be effective
was ingredient '49 which disap-
peared in a puff of smoke to re-
veal the junior queen. The charms
of senior candidate, Amanda Hul-
sey, stopped all activity of the
day from bank robbery to the gold
rush while she made her entry.

Frosh presented two girls swath-
ed in a blanket and one in blue
jeans and plaid shirt to show how
not to be Lillian Russell and as a
foil for Annelle Simpson, fresh-
man candidate.

Sophomore's Lillian Russell will
be introduced after a poem re-
counting the history of the fam-
ous lady.

Music for the Jamboree will be
provided by Sam Smith and the
Nomads, who played for last year's
Club Scheherazade.

A very special feature of the
junior show will be the roles play-
ed by Ed Mallory from Emory
and George Kirk and Bill Chesnut
from Georgia Tech.

Junior committee heads putting
a shine on the Horseshoe are
Butch Hays, decorations, Nancy
Dendy, music, Mary Price and
Lucy Mohr, costumes, and Nancy
Huey, refreshments. Dot Morri-
son and Lee Cousar are publiciz-
ing the event, Marie Cuthbertson
is in charge of the clean up com-
mittee, and Mary Aichel is in
charge of tickets.

Leaders of the Junior Joint pro-
duction are Chairman Dot Porter;
Senior Class Chairmen Mildred
Claire Jones and Nancy Deal, Jun-
ior Chairman Nancy Parks, Sopho-
more Chairman Peggy Penuel, and
Freshman Chairman Cissie Spiro.

Faculty Meets
For Discussion

W. S. Frierson, Miss Ellen Doug-
lass Leyburn and Miss Katherine
OmM'ake organized a committee
last week at the request of the
Southern Universities Conference
to discuss improvements for col-
lege instruction.

The committee met three times
last week. Each time 12 to 15 in-
structors joined wholeheartedly
in the discussion, offering opin-
ions as to what qualities a teach-
er must possess to be successful,
what obstacles on the campus im-
pede good teaching, what changes
in curricula would improve teach-
ing, and what procedure should be
followed.

Mr. Frierson, chairman, said the
committee will meet again this
week to form more definite plans
to present to the campus.'

Campus Clubs
Invite Frosh
To Meetings

Orientation committee has in-
augurated a new program to ac-
quaint freshmen with clubs on
campus. Chairman Nancy Deal
announced the campaign began
Monday and will last two weeks.

Each club plans to invite fresh-
men to a regular meeting this
week. The times for the meetings
are posted. Nancy explained that
the purpose of this program is to
enable freshmen to understand
campus activities before they be-
gin participation in the spring.

A sponsor's meeting is slated
for Monday, Feb. 9, to allow spon-
sors to make suggestions concern-
ing next year's orientation pro-
gram.

Merry-go-Round

By Mildred Claire Jones

Tonight is so quiet. Seems that the excitement of the
weekend has left everyone a bit breathless. Lots of people
went home for the weekend. Margaret Anne Richards, Beth
Jones, and Mary Manly were in Columbus, Billie Powell in
Thomasville, Mary Gene Sims in Dalton, Jerry Keef in Chat-
tanooga, and Tee Toe Williams

in Marietta. EClaire Cunning-
ham went to Eatonton, Aman-
da Hulsey to Gainesville,
while Sally Bussey, Emily Wright,
Jane Campbell, Ellen Morrison,
Mary Mohr, and Ann Ballard went
to Augusta, and B. J. Brown went
to Birmingham.

After the Ball
As my eye caught sight of the
Emory pennant on the wall, I
started thinking about this week-
end. The Emory Sigma Chi Sweet-
heart ball was beautiful. Polly

Tynes, formerly in class of '50,

The Naval Air Station was the
scene of much fun over the week-
end. Dot Floyd, Dee Durden, Ann

were Pagie Violette and Cama

Continuing a visual tour of my

These reminded me of the various
visitors on campus from other
schools. Jo Culp's Johnny, Char-
Iicn Simms's Charles, Ann Pitt's

Alumna Discusses
Personal Relations

Alumna Mrs. Ed White in her
talks to the freshmen last week
presented pointers on how to get
along with people, and desirable
qualities in an individual.

Mrs. White talked in chapel as
a part of orientation program and
conducted a question and answer
program in Inman. Discussion
ranged around how to get along
with roommates, girls on campus,
and boys. The problems of popu-
larity were especially considered.
She also touched on the personal
qualities necessary in an individual
to achieve good relations.

Mrs. White's qualifications in-
clude presidency of Mortar Board,
her work in the dean's office at
the University of Colorado and her
work as a director of religious
education.

McCain Plans
Three Lectures

Dr. McCain's schedule for the
week includes a discussion of com-
munism at the Decatur Boy's High
School P. T. A. tomorrow, a talk
to the freshmen, and the opening of
Clemson College's Religious Em-
phasis Week Tuesday.

In his speech on communism he
will compare and contrast Nazism
and communism with the Ameri-
can system of free enterprise,
pointing out the differences be-
tween communism in theory and
in practice.

In his chapel period talk with
the freshmen Dr. McCain will pre-
sent the history of Agnes Scott, in-
cluding discussion of the college
business and the program for the
future with emphasis on building
plans.

In his talk to the faculty at
Clemson he will consider the re-
sponsibilities of the faculty in the
college religious program point-
ing out the old values of religion
which should not be modified.

Christianity Tppic
Of Bahaist Lecture

Discussing "Christianity as I
See It," Mrs. Marzieh Gail, Baha'i
lecturer, spoke out against the-
ological discussions which she cit-
ed as the cause of the dissension
and splits in religion.

Mrs. Gail, who has just returned
from the Baha'i Carribbean Con-
gress in Mexico City, declared in
her lecture here Wednesday that
Christianity is crying out to be
fulfilled and that the Baha'i faith
is its fulfillment.

"Each religion is a link to an-
other religion," she said explain-
ing that the purpose of the Baha'i
Society was world unification of
all religions, nations, peoples, and
races.

Dean Cites Russian Trends
Toward Democratic System

"Karl Marx wouldn't recognize
the situation in Russia today as
communistic if he came upon it
in the dark!" Vera Micheles Dean
asserted in her lecture here last
week.

The attractive director of the
Foreign Policy association's re-
search department who spoke on
"Russia's Internal Problems"
Tuesday, Jan. 27, impressed her
entire audience with her ability
as a speaker and her clear in-
sight into the situation in Russia
today.

Mrs. Dean spoke briefly on that
phase of Russian history leading
up to the overthrow of the Czar-
ist government in 1917, the es-
tablishment of a so-called com-
munistic form of government, and
the present government. She point-
ed out that although the govern-
ment is not in any sense demo-
cratic, several manifestations of
the democratic spirit are present.

For example, she explained,
there is racial tolerance and min-
ority groups are encouraged to
develop their own culture. The
people are taught to read and
write and are encouraged to learn
about new scientific and technical
discoveries. The newspapers are
full of criticisms of the policies of
the government she said, but no
advocacy of any other system

of government is allowed.

As for the economic situation
in Russia, Mrs. Dean stated that
the basic aim of the government's
policy, heavy industry, has been
accomplished. This was proved in
the last war, she continued, when
Russian tanks, guns, and other
armament were the equal of those
of any other nation. The fourth of
the five-year plans is now in op-
eration and progress is still be-
ing made, she said, but consumer
products have suffered as a re-
sult of this policy, and the people
are clamoring for refrigerators,
stoves, and other products. There
is private property such as this
in Russia today, Mrs. Dean point-
ed out, because it is not a com-
plete communistic system.

Millionaires in Russia are, ac-
cording to her, "peasants" who
have made a lot of money by sell-
ing their farm products in the free
black markets.

Mrs. Dean spoke at Emory uni-
versity Jan. 28. After her lecture
at Agnes Scott there was an in-
formal reception in her honor in
Murphey Candler.

Frosh, Juniors Down
Sister Classes In Tilt

By Marie Cuthbertson

Two hard fought class games in the gym on Friday night
ended in victories for the frosh and juniors. A good senior
sextet, handicapped by having only two substitutes, piled
up a 17-15 lead during the first half but the endurance of
younger players proved too much for the veterans who final-
ly bowed to a score of 33-23.

McLaurin played her usual fine
game ^it forward, assisted by Sims,
Saxon, and Manly, with the ver-
satile Cunningham turning in an
excellent performance at both
guard and forward. The guarding
of Beacham and Violette made
the game a difficult one for the
frosh, but the second half per-
formance of Kay, Esco, and Quat-
tlebaum resulted in the 33 points
necessary for victory.

The 20 points racked up by jun-
ior sharpshooter Brannon meant
a victory for her team in their bat-
tle* with the always alert sopho-
i mores. An early lead was piled up
by the juniors which was never re-
linquished, although threatened
by the playing of Pascall, Han-
son, and manager Warlick, point-
getting soph forwards. Betty Cole
led the defense force, assisted by
Evans, Mitchell, Davis, and Trus-
low. A great deal of the junior
success should be credited to the
guarding of Newton, Cook, and
Blake. Assisting Bunny at the for-
ward positions for the victors were
captain-manager June Davis, El-
lis, Huey, and Cuthbertson.

Brannon started a scoring spree
with four field goals before the
sophs were able to score. Warlick
then put ner team in the scoring
column and, until the final whis-

the classes, the juniors are out in,
front with two victories and no
defeats. As a result of their win
over the seniors, freshmen are
tied with the sophs for the run-
ner-up spot at this time.

Freshmen Down
Junior B Team

In a preliminary game on Fri-
day night, a snappy freshman out-
fit defeated the junior "B" team
by the score of 19-9. The "B"
team players, supposedly less ex-
perienced, were successful in
stacking up a nice number of
points.

Weakle scored often for the
victors, getting a total of 12
points. Captain Blackmon was
high scorer for the juniors, and
guarding by Charlotte Key stop-
ped many junior threats.

Throughout the first half the
contest was a close one, with the
juniors having a slight advantage
at the half. During the latter per-
iod, Weakle and her forwards,
Ragland, Pollard, and Milliken,
gained steadily on their opponents.
Captain Blackmon used her whole
team in the game.

Play By Play

By Floss Hanson

Those yells sounded mighty good at the basketball games in the
gym Friday night even heard quite a few booming masculine voices.
And the comments made were extremely enthusiastic like, "Why this
is just as exciting as boys' basektball!" That's a real tribute from the
male sex.

Remember, with bigger crowds you get more points toward the
class spirit cup.

An even bigger crowd will rake in more points toward the class
spirit cup besides enjoying fast-moving entertainment.

Incidentally, those "B" teams' games show a lot of spirit too. So
far the freshmen have defeated the juniors 19 to 9 and the juniors
defeated the sophomores with a 12 to 4 score.

We hear that they've had the first practice for the swimming
pageant and that there's a lot of talent involved in it. The swimmers
concentrated on peeling off and decided on different strokes to be
used in the formations. There's ample explanation for the damp
countenances and sopping hair seen on campus lately.

There seem to be new and avid badminton enthusiasts: KA's
from Emory, no less. They came out Thursday to oppose some of our
players and have made arrangements for further matches.

Honor Revision
Stresses 'Help'

A new interpretation of the phase of the honor system
which deals with responsibility for others was presented in
a compulsory assembly today by Sister Davis, Student gov-
ernment president.

The concept of the honor system was formed by a com-
mittee composed of Sister Davis

Dabney Adams, member of C. A.
cabinet, Pagie Violette, president
of Mortar Board, Mary Beth Lit-
tle, Lecture association chairman,
and Harriet Gregory, editor of
the News. The interpretation, ac-
cording to Sister, is a synthesis of
ideals suggested in meetings with
honor discussion leaders, Execu-
tive committee, administration
leaders, C. A. cabinet, Represen-

The new interpretation of the
honor system will be discussed
in detail in an open forum slat-
ed for tomorrow's compulsory
assembly. Questions will be an-
swered by a panel composed of
Sister Davis, Dabney Adams,
Pagie Violette, Mary Beth Lit-
tle, and Harriet Gregory.

tative council, and Mortar Board.

The text of Sister's speech in
assembly is as follows:

"Today's discussion and tomor-
row's open forum climax many
weeks of questioning one phase
of the honor system.

"I know, in fact we all know,
that some have the tyonor, some
have the system!

"So here we are with a group
supposedly unified in purpose and
ideals, with the basis of our ideals
split at the very root. In your
honor system discussions last fall
you showed that you were ser-
iously concerned over questions
about the honor system which no
one has ever been able to answer.

"Some of you were bothered
with having to uphold the group
honor in a way that conflicted
with your personal honor. You
were brought up to scorn the tat-
tle-tale and now you were pledg-
ed to be a tattle-tale! You had

and requirements of her chosen
vocation.

futures editor of "Mademoiselle",
will begin the Alumnae associa-
tion's vocational guidance program

Miss Eugenie Dozier, instructor
in physical education, is directing
the Agnes Scott production of this
romantic ballet in four acts. First
presented in Moscow in 1877, this
ballet is still popular because of
its fairy-like story and beautiful
dances.

The story of "Swan Lake" by V.
P. Begelchev and Gelsen was set
to music by Tchaikovsky. Mrs.
Espy will play the piano for Sat-
urday's performance.

"Swan Lake" tells the story of
a beautiful princess who has been
changed into a swan by a wicked
owl. By night she returns to her
maiden form and by accident
meets a prince with whom she
falls in love. He is dismayed when
she vanishes, but after a l,ong
search, he finds her again; then
the spell is lifted and they live
happily ever after.

Munro Speaks
On Aesthetics

Comparative aesthetics was the
subject of the lecture delivered
February 5 by Dr. Thomas Mun-
ro, Curator of Education at the
Cleveland Museum of Art and
Professor of Art at Western Re-
serve.

Dr. Munro elaborated upon his
theme, "Some Relations between
the Arts," by using as an illus-
tration the ballet, "L'Apres Midi
d'un Faune," in which leaders in
the arts of literature, painting,
music, and the dance co-operated
to produce a masterpiece. The
ballet was based upon a poem by
Mallarme, which had been illus-
trated by Manet, translated into
music by Debussy, and danced by
Najinsky.

Merry-go-Round

By Mildred Claire Jones

With visions of Lillian Russell dashing around in my head,
this week's activities fit in perfectly. It has really been the
big weekend for formals.

Jerry Keff, Wilton Rice, Anna DeVault, Betty Rawls, An-
drea Dale, Julie Morgan, and Sarah Davis were the Agnes
Scotters who attended the GMA

formal and from all reports it
was a wonderful affair.

Orchids From ATOs

Perhaps the most popular event
off campus over the weekend was
the ATO formal at the Druid Hills
Club. Dee Durden, Dot Floyd, Isa-
bel Truslow, Jane Oliver, Lyd
Gardner, Nancy Deal, Mary Man-
ly, Mildred Claire Jones, Billie
Powell, Betsy Baker and Nan- j
cy Dendy were there, as were
Norah Anne Little, Jean Harper,
Betzie Powers, Harriet Reid,
Charlien Simms, Margaret Anne
Richards, and June Irvine. The
more I looked around, the more
I realized that Scott girls are real-
ly popular with the ATOs, for I al-
so saw Ginny Andrews, Amanda
Hulsey, Virginia Rogers, Celeste
Barnett, Pat Hampton, and Pat
McManmon.

Jive at Jamboree

Many girls, realizing that Jun-
ior Joint was really going to be
something special, asked friends
down for the weekend. Mary Gene
Sim's Clay, Nancy Huey's Dewitt,
Val von Lehe's sister, Dot Porter's
family, Marie Cuthbertson's broth-
er, Jessie Hodges' father, Casey
Haff's father, and Donnie King's
parents and grandmother were
here for the big event. Pat Rus-
sell, ex-member of class of '49,
visited Mary Jo Ammons, while
Ann Windham had a visitor from
Auburn, and Mary Aichel had a
friend from Wesleyan. Maxine
Kickliter's Frank from the Uni-
versity of Tennessee was here,
and Clemson was represented by
.Louise Sanford's Hal and Margie
Graves' Bob. Jean Harper had
two visitors from the Citadel, Lar-
ry and Burt.

tree Gardens was a gala affair
too. Nan Ford, Twig Hertwig,
Barbara Quattlebaum, and Joan
Mahoney were the lucky girls.

Dance at Davidson

Midwinters at Davidson took
quite a few girls up North Caro-
lina way. Julianne Cook, Nancy
Parks, Dabney Adams, Ann Fau-
cette, Virginia Skinner, Easy
Beale, Gretchen Reinartz, Sara
Jane Campbell, Ibby Wilkinson,
Cama Clarkson, and Candy Hol-
landsworth went up together.
Candy was a sponsor for the dance.

Several girls had important
dates at home over the weekend.
Jean Tollison went to Vidalia,
Hannah Wood to Dalton, Nancy
Brown to Durham, Beth Jones to
Vinings, Betty Finney to Colum-
bia, Tenn., Jimmie Ann McGee to
Starr, S. C, Celeste Barnett to
Washington, Ga., Carolyn Wells to
Spartanburg, and Joann Christo-
pher to Greenville. Jessie Carpen-
ter went to New Orleans for Mar-
di Gras.

The Ice Follies were attractive
to many of our number. Sid Cum-
mings, Susan Bowling, EClaire
Cunningham, Flo Bryant, and Vir-
ginia Henry were seen there, and
Mary Lou Hatfield was seen at
the Naval Air Station.

Tjiis was a very eventful week-
end for Carolyn Critchlow and
Jane Oliver. They are both pinned,
Carolyn to an SAE and Jane to
an ATO.

Play By Play

By Floss Hanson

The time limit for the first round matches of the badminton tourney
was extended to Tuesday, since a number of the players have been
ill and unable to play off their matches. Hope to have some of the
results for you next week though.

Spectators at the basketball games Friday certainly saw a thriller
in the freshman-sophomore tilt. The first half, highlighted by ex-
tremely tight guarding and the crip shots of Warlick, Williamson,
and Quattlebaum, ended in a 13-13 deadlock.

The same fast and furious brand of ball was exhibited in the
second half with the freshmen leading 22-20 in the closing minutes
of the game when Warlick hit the hoop for two points for the
sophomores, tieing the score. In the next second, while the sopho-
mores' cheers were still ringing, Virginia Kay, frosh manager, made
a beautiful over the head shot to rack up another goal and another
game for the freshman.

While we're on the subject of basketball all forwards and even
guards may enter the goal shooting contest. The winner from each
of the four classes will vie for the championship during the half
of the Varsity-Sub-Varsity game.'

Honor System Revised

(Continued from page 1)
to choose between the approval
of your crowd and obedience to
the letter of the law, as it was
interpreted. Either way, you were
bound to develop a sense of guilt.

"The leaders of these confer-
ences brought together your ideas
of abolishing the so called double
honor system. We all recognize
that this would be the ideal an-
swer if everyone were perfect.
Admitting that we're not perfect
we realize that none of us can get
along without help from others.
We knew we had to have some-
thing better.

"For three weeks Exec talked
about it but couldn't find the an-
swer either. So we called in Dr.
McCain. He was amazed to find
that our interpretation of the hon-
or system had become so narrow.
When we read the honor code to-
gether we found that it does not
say "report" but speaks rather
of our responsibility to others.

"We were shocked to realize
that the original spirit of the hon-
or system had been perverted to
the iron-clad pattern of reporting.
We've talked with past presidents
and vice-presidents of Student
government, and we've found that
for years the thinking about the
honor system has been evasive
and confused.

"Now, this year, with your hon-
est doubt and Dr. McCain's insight
and counsel, the cobwebs of
apathy are swept away, revealing
the framework of what we've
wanted all along. Our honor code
stresses responsibility, and we
want responsibility to mean
help.'

"When you see someone do
something contrary to the ideals
of Agnes Scott you don't have to
report her. What you're pledged
to do is help her. And you're not
limited in the ways that you can
help. Here, for instance, are some
suggestions :

"1. First, you can talk to the
girl, not necessarily with the idea
of reporting the girl or of asking
her to report herself, but with
the idea of settling the question
between yourselves of whether
she did right or wrong.

"2. Second, if you do not feel
adequate to the task of talking
to the girl yourself, either because
you are not close enough or be-
cause you're too close, you have
the privilege of calling on an
Exec member to act as a media-
tor. She will act in the strictest
confidence and unofficially.

"3. Third, if you sincerely think
that anything you could do would
be unnecessary or would do more
harm than good, then don't do
anything. But remember you
are pledged to help!

"This new interpretation is
harder. It demands a new process
of reasoning and the courage to
put that reasoning into action. It
demands maturity because it gives
us the dignity of choice!"

Religious Week

(Continued from page 1)
ferences are scheduled for the af-
ternoon and at 9:30 p. m. a meet-
ing for the entire campus will be
held in Main.

Chapel and personal confer-
ences with Dr. Miller will con-
tinue on Thursday and a Commun-
ion service at 7:30 p. m. Thursday
in Gaines chapel for faculty and
students will climax the week's
program.

Dr. Miller is the first Religious
Emphasis Week leader ever ask-
ed to return to campus for two
consecutive years. Among his ac-
tivities as a minister and author
are leadership of pastorates in
Maryland and Texas, teaching
positions at Pyengyany foreign
school, Pyengyany Korea, and
Biblical Seminary in New York,
and the Lutheran Theological
Seminary in Gettysburg, Pa.

He is on the faculty at the
Union Theological Seminary in
Richmond, Va. He is the author
of "The Stone Which Builders Re-
jected", text for Presbyterian stu-
dent groups.

Makes Plans
For Hopefuls

On Fridays when you watch the
hotly contested basketball battles
in the gym, have you ever noticed
the two young ladies with whistles
who seem to be having as busy a
time as the rival sextets? Their
job is to keep the game under con-
trol and to see that everyone plays
according to the rules, and their
title is either "umpire" or "ref-
eree" or "official".

This week Agnes Scott has three
such persons. By the first of
March, the college's "officials"
may total seven. A group of bas-
ketball enthusiasts have just be-
gun to study the fine art of of-
ficiating under Miss Lewellyn Wil-
burn, physical education instruc-
tor.

B. J. Radford and Genet Heery,
graduates of 1947, are now as-
sisting Miss Wilburn with the of-
ficiating at the F r i d a y class
games. Beginners who hope to
gain the coveted rank are Nancy
Huey, Reese Newton, B. J. Elli-
son and Marie Cuthbertson.

Beginning on Thursday, the class
will discuss rules and will be quiz-
zed on the regulations found in
the Handbook of Girls' Basketball.
The following week a similar dis-
cussion and some actual practice
in officiating will be held. A writ-
ten examination will be given the
last week in February and a prac-
tical examination follows.

A grade of 76 is required for a
local official's rating, 86 for a
national. The final test is to of-
ficiate in a regulation game.

Frosh And Juniors
Lick Sister Classes

By Edna Claire Cunningham

The sister classes, junior and frosh, triumphed in their
basketball games against the seniors and sophs.

In the junior-senior game the juniors got an early lead
and maintained it throughout the game. The juniors for-
warded a slow pass from center and a fast break-through

Basketball Players
Vie in Shooting

A new feature of the basketball
season announced by Julianne
Cook, basketball manager, is the
goal shooting contest.

Each entrant must shoot 25 suc-
cessive goals from the free throw
line and mark her score on the
contest card. There is no limit to
the times that a person can shoot.
The girl from each class with the
highest score will compete in the
finals during the half of the Var-
sity-Sub-Varsity game.

Lyons, Wilburn
Attend Convention

Miss Llewellyn Wilburn and
Miss Marjorie Lyons, directors of
physical education, will attend the
meeting of the Southern Confer-
ence of American Association of
Health, Physical Education, and
Recreation which convenes Feb-
ruary 17 in Birmingham, Ala.

Miss Wilburn is the chairman
of the Southern Division of the
National Section on Women's Ath-
letics. Miss Lyons will serve as
secretary of the Aquatics Section.

by Ellis and fast follow-up shots
ran their score up to 16-8 at half
time.

The senior forwards used over-
head shots and long ones by Mc-
Laurin to get their score. Guards
on both teams broke up many
passes and were particularly adept
at breaking up the overhead shots.
Following a scoring spree at the
beginning of the second half the
game ended in favor of the jun-
iors 34-12.

One of the most exciting games
of the year was th^ soph-frbsh
one. The teams were fast, evenly
matched, and determined to win.
Every point was a point hard
earned. At the end of the first
quarter the score stood 6-6 and
at the end of the half, 13-13.

Splendid zone guarding was dis-
played by the sophs. The forwards
combined fast passing with a drib-
bling shot by Warlick which ac-
counted for their score. The fresh-
men's accuracy in shots and un-
predictability as well as deter-
mination put them on top at the
end. With the crowds roaring, the
game came to a thrilling end with
the frosh leading 24-22.

R E. Week Talks
Center On Faith

By Lor ton Lee

"God does not answer your
doubts for you. You must resolve
them yourself in his company and
through his grace," Dr. Donald
Miller declared in his address
opening Religious Emphasis week,
Monday.

Citing disillusionment in at-
tempts at high moral integrity and
conflict between faith and tradi-
tion as the main forces in life
which tend to undermine faith,
Dr. Miller drew from John the
Baptist's questioning of Jesus'
messiahship four clues to solving
religious doubts.

"First," he declared, "an honest
search must be made, for in ten-
sion growth comes. Then you must
acquire a willingness to accept
evidence and not require proof,"
he added, "placing our own judg-
ment as tester of the evidence."

Abandoning false hopes in the
realization that life is to be a
struggle, Dr. Miller pointed out
as his third clue, and he ended
with a plea for personal commit-
ment to Christ when understand-
ing is impossible.

A six-foot amateur basketball
player with a slow smile and sharp,
understanding eyes, Dr. Miller, of
Richmond Theological Seminary,
is the first leader of Religious Em-
phasis week to return for the sec-
ond consecutive year.

The son of a minister, Dr. Mil-
ler said that his decision to enter
religious work came in his sec-
ond year at college, but he added,
"Not through any sudden revela-
tion but because of a growing im-
perceptible impression that I
should."

He spent two years in foreign
fields realizing his dream of travel
by circling the globe one and a
half times, observing first hand
foreign mission work, and per-
suading a worker in India to be-
come Mrs. Miller.

At present beside his teaching
at Union Theological Seminary
and lecturing, Dr. Miller's inter-
ests center around his wife and
three children at a summer home
in Maryland of their own design
and construction. "We plan to
have it completed in about 20
years," Dr. Miller rernarked.

"Problems of Disillusionment"
was Dr. Miller's topic Tuesday in
the second of his series of talks

Holiday, Friday Broadcast
To Mark Founders Day

By Betsy Baker

Although this year's observance of Founder's Day, Feb. 22,
will lack the dancing of the minuet, the hoop skirts, and the
cherry tree and hatchet bedecked banquet halls which mark-
ed the holiday of former years, the spirit of the day will not
be forgotten. Agnes Scotters
alumnae meetings throughout the

country, and the traditional Foun-
der's Day broadcast will still com-
memorate the birthday of George
Washington Scott this year.
Inaugurated in 1918

The annual observance was in-
augurated in 1918 when President
F. H. Gaines recognized Feb. 22
as a college holiday, a tribute to
the founder of the college rather
than to George Washington whose
birthday is generally celebrated on
that day. Beginning with the
Founder's Day banquet of that
year, Feb. 22 has been an annual
campus holiday in true colonial
tradition.

The first celebrations boasted
banquets presided over by such
famous colonial figures, Agnes
Scott style, as Betsy Ross, on one
occasion impersonated by Miss
Carrie Scandrett; Martha Wash-
ington, portrayed by Mrs. S. G.
Stukes and Mrs. Margaret Ridley
Beggs, former member of the fac-
ulty; and Daniel Boone, once re-
presented by Miss Eleanor Hut-
chens.

Two years later the dancing of
the minuet was added to the fes-
tivities and still later additions
were entertainment by a sopho-
more chorus and a junior skit.
Quiet Holiday

In the past few years, however,
the holiday has become compara-
tively quiet, with activities limited
to special dinners on campus, not
as spectacular as their predeces-
sors but nevertheless with a fes-
tive holiday atmosphere, meetings
of alumnae groups and the WSB
broadcast.

This year the eighteenth annual
broadcast will be heard at 7:30
Friday night on WSB. The 15 min-
ute program, previously a full
hour broadcast until crowded
radio schedules forced a cut in
time allotments, will feature a
talk by President J. R. McCain

with no classes on Saturday,

and selections by the freshman
chorus.

Several representatives from
campus will attend alumnae meet-
ings and luncheons in honor of
Founder's Day. Miss Carrie Scan-
drett will go to Charlotte N. C,
Miss Ellen Douglass Leyburn will
attend the meeting in Rome, Ga.,
,and Mr. S. G. Stukes has been
invited to meet with the Wash-
ington alumnae 'group.

Assistants Edit News

The two assistant editors of
the News, Lorton Lee and Bet-
sy Baker, were editor and man-
aging editor for this week's
News.

ASC To Vie
In Ga. Debate

Emory's all Georgia tourna-
ment will attact veteran deba-
ters Dot Porter and B. J. Brown
and novices Rose Ellen Gillam and
Hazel Berman Friday.

Subject will be Resolved: that
the county unit system should be
abolished. Hazel and Rose Ellen
will uphold the affirmative.

This is the first intercollegiate
debating tournament for Hazel
and Rose Ellen while Dot and B.
J., who were teamed together last
year, were out of the fall round of
tourneys.

At the meet last year Agnes
Scott negative placed first in
team and individual debating. Dot
and B. J., the affirmative, placed
third.

Students will be admitted by
season lecture tickets only. Those
who failed to obtain lecture tic-
kets in the fall may get them in
the bookstore. Tickets for off-
campus guests are on sale in the
bookstore now.

The Barter players, outstanding
example of professional theatre
outside New York, played 353 en-
gagements last year in an effort
to take the theatre to the people.
In their choice of "Twelfth Night"
for this winter's performance, they
have chosen a comedy that is in
its 348th year and is still popular.

Actors in the company which
will play here include Larry Gates,
Don Hart, Gerry Jedd, Joan Mor-
timer, and Ernest Borgnine.

Barter is the first state-aided
theatre in America, the first pro-
fessional theatre in the South, and
the largest professional company
outside New York.

Three Attend
NSA Meeting
At Emory

Three members of the Student
government association were
among the 25 young people from
12 schools who attended the reg-
ional meeting of the National
Student association Friday and
Saturday at Emory university.

Sister Davis, Dot Quillian, and
Nancy Parks heard the discussions
by the various representatives,
both colored and white on the na-
tional constitution of the asso-
ciation and on the student govern-
ment associations of different
campuses and their particular pro-
blems.

Written last September at a
national constitutional convention
at the University of Wisconsin and
ratified by 121 colleges, the con-
stitution will not become effective
until it is accepted by 176 stu-
dent organizations.

From the national meeting re-
gional meetings have resulted. This
region is composed of Alabama,
Georgia, and Florida. At present
Georgia Tech and Auburn Insti-
tute are the only members.

Critic Applauds Rogers Grace, Precision;
Praises Costumes, Staging Of 'Swan Lake

By Jane Alsobrook

Ballet group's performance of
"Swan Lake" Saturday to lilting
Tschaikowsky music was an in-
teresting addition to campus fea-
tures of the year.

The performance was well done
for an amateur group and Miss
Eugenie Dozier is to be congratu-
lated on her handling of the chore-
ography and the dancers.

Pinny Rogers and the corps
created for a few hours the illus-
ion of a fairy land full of change-
ling swans and princesses, of wick-
ed sorcerers and magic spells, and
of "happy-ever-after" love stories.

Pinny was the uncontested star

IRC Sends 3
To Ga. Meet
At Emory

Three delegates from Agnes
Scott attended the annual Geor-

B. J. Sauer reported that topics
discussed were the Marshall plan
and United States foreign policy
in China. After a banquet Friday
night, A. J. Man, British consul,
spoke on his impressions at the
1947 session of the United Nations'
General Assembly.

Bob Foster, of Emory, was
elected state I. R. C. president at
Saturday's business meeting.

Delegates from 12 colleges and
universities attended the conven-
tion, and Agnes Scott played host
Friday night to nine I. R. C. mem-
bers from Peabody, Bessie Tift,
Wesleyan, G. S. C. W., Auburn,
and the University of Georgia.

of the evening. The grace and pre-
cision of her dancing was out-
standing. Pinny made the lovely
Queen of Swans a living and un-
forgettable character, raising the
ballet far above the amateur level
with her charm and poise.

The leading man seemed to lack
much of the inspiration that Pin-
ny exhibited. His technique of
performance was often strained.

Anna Wells as Odile the sorcer-
er's daughter was a refreshing ad-
dition to the cast in her solo and
duet with the prince. Duets of the
Spanish senoritas Beryl Crews and
Lyd Gardner, and the Italian girls
Margaret Hopkins, and Newell
Turner were well done. Polish
lasses Pagie Violette and Molly
Milam were vivacious and seem-
ed to be enjoying themselves.

In the frequently presented sec-
ond act with the swan maidens'
dance at midnight the perform-
ances of the quintet of little swans
and of leaders Anne Hayes and
Betty Blackmon added finesse to
the number.

Special recognition should be ac-

corded the costume designers and
scenery committee. The spirit and
beauty of the ballet were greatly
enhanced by their work.

"Swan Lake" was an ambitious
undertaking for the group particu-
larly since it is the first time in
the group's knowledge that the
entire four acts have been pre-
sented in America. Although lack-
ing in professional poise and ex-
ecution "Swan Lake" was memor-
able for its pleasure plus value
and for the apparent progress
the Dance Group has made since
its rather recent organization.

Sophs And Juniors
Wi n In Fray Friday

By EClaire Cunningham

The sophs won 50-36 over the seniors and the juniors top-
ped the freshman 25-36 in Friday night's basketball games.
This gives the juniors four straight victories and the sophs
and frosh are tied in second place with two wins each.

In the first game the sophs started off with a new line-up
of guards and the seniors were

handicapped by a lack of for-
wards. The sophs got an early
lead with fast plays from the
center. The seniors depended on
long shots and weren't able to fol-
low up the shots very well. The
half ended with a score 10-27.

The seniors reversed their usual
after half slump with a quick pick
up in the second period and cut
the difference in the score. The
sophs, however, continued scoring
with lost long shots recovered and
converted into crip shots. The
game ended 50-36 for the sophs.
Warlick and Cunningham were
high scorers for the sophs and
seniors respectively.

The frosh-junior game was a
faster game. The juniors made
lots of shots during the first quar-
ter with such fast, hard passes
that they left the guards bewild-
ered. Brannan made many dribble,
one arm shots from the center.
The quarter ended 15-4 for the
juniors.

Fighting to the end the frosh
seemed to pick up in the last half
and the teams swapped basket
for basket. The early lead of the
juniors could not be overcome,
however, and the game ended 25-
36 for the juniors. Quattlebaum
played an unusually good game
for the Greenies.

The officials were Misses Rad-
ford and Mims.

The new sports editor has flown
the coop so here I am again, coop-
ed up in her place and loving it.
I don't see what relaionship travel
has to sports except maybe in the
energy and exercise involved in
packing to leave, but I know Floss
will be able to tell you all about
it when she returns this week.

There has been quite a bit of
excitement down around the gym
this week. The focal point of it is
the collection of plans for the big
Red Cross drive which will begin
Feb. 27. Sheely, Marie, Anne Hayes
and Bunny Brannan have really
been working on it and have made
some wonderful plans for the
drive. Good publicity in the form
of posters and displays in the li-
brary, speakers, and movies, plus
earnest work from each member
of A. A. Board ought to make this
one of the most effective drives
we've had at Agnes Scott.

The seniors and frosh, juniors
and sophs will battle it out tonight
in one of the night games at 8.
Hope we have better attendance!

And now for a little peek into
the crystal ball for future events.
Coming up in the near future is
the water pageant, badminton
doubles and singles finals, and the
varsity sub-varsity basketball
game. From the looks of all the
events coming up, no one down
at the gym will have time to get
a dose of that good old spring
fever now that the sun and warm-
er weather has returned they're
going to be just too dog-goned
busy!

The annual Red Cross drive will
start Friday, Feb. 27. It will
last through Tuesday, March 2.
Glenn Whistler, who is regional
director of the Atlanta Red Cross
will open the drive with a talk in
chapel on Friday. There will be a
Red Cross college display in But-
trick lobby; also, there will be
pamphlets and other literature on
any phase of Red Cross work avail-
able in the lobby of Buttrick.

Although the greater amount
of contributions are expected on
Friday, the collections will be
taken up in a door-to-door canvass
through Tuesday, Mar. 2 when the
drive ends. During the week there
will be other special features. A
Red Cross movie will be given on
Monday night at 7:30 to climax
the drive.

Bunny Brannon, chairman of the

drive, says, "Membership cards
will be awarded to every person
contributing $1 or more; they
will also receive Red Cross badges
as a sign that they are really giv-
ing the Red Cross their fullest
support." Athletic association is
sponsoring the Agnes Scott drive
with Marie Cuthbertson in charge
of collections from the boarding
students. Anne Hayes is in charge
of the day students' contributions;
and Dr. Hayes, the faculty con-
tributions. The class having the
highest percentage of its mem-
bers full members of Red Cross,
will receive points toward the
class spirit cup.

In previous years the Red Cross
has come out of the World Service
fund but since this organization
has been discontinued the three

It's Up To You

The open forum in Thursday's chapel was designed for
one purpose, to clarify the new interpretation of the report
phase of the honor system.

Details, trivial in relation to the whole idea, held the spot-
light. The emphasis, for the most, was on obscure points which
did need to have light thrown on them.

But the details began to loom disproportionately large and
fierce and, for some persons, they may have swallowed the
real issue.

Evidence that the general idea had been clouded instead
of clarified for some is that many students were of the opin-
ion that the new way is just like the old except that it takes
longer. The idea seemed to be, some students remarked, that
you just wait for a second offense to report somebody.

That is not the idea at all. We think this is:

When we signed the pledge, according to the way the
honor system was interpreted then, we were swearing that
we would follow one pattern of conduct if we saw someone
lower the group standard. The only thing we could do with-
out breaking our word was to ask the erring student to re-
port herself. If she failed to do so, we were pledged to re-
port her. Most people preferred to break their word.

Under the new interpretation, nobody is pledged to re-
port anybody at any time. Nobody has promised to follow any
set pattern of conduct. Everyone is pledged to help others up-
hold* the ideals of Agnes Scott. Everyone has promised to
act toward fellow students as her own most thoughtful' and
mature judgment dictates.

Once "report" was the only way. Now there are as many
ways as there are students at Agnes Scott that is if you want
them, if you want "the dignity of choice." H. G.

Antidote For Apathy

Agnes Scott is well organized, not in English, history or
psych majors' unions but in clubs according to interests over
and above education.

Each organization has a purpose listed in the handbook
and sometimes that is as far as it gets. Many clubs are credits
to their members and to the school while others have recent-
ly revived activity to more than justify their formation. Pi
Alpha Phi has brought inter-collegiate fame to Agnes Scott.
Blackfriars' plays draw their audience from Atlanta and De-
catur as well as the campus.

IRC is tackling the job of keeping the campus mind tin-
campused. Ballet group successfully attempted "Swan Lake"
whose four acts have never before been given in America.
These and other organizations offer their members valuable
experience as well as recreation. But others only extend a
get-your-picture-in-the-annual offer.

For these clubs whose only points are listed by the stu-
dent recorder we suggest an injection of we-can-do-it-too
serum.

Pause To Remember

Saturday is a holiday, and a very welcome one. A fact no
one is likely to forget. It's a day that will allow time for spec-
ial attention to that postponed trip to town, an extra movie,
that lost sleep, and perhaps even some neglected assignments,
In the mad rush to make every holiday minute count, how-
ever, we often forget the important fact that holidays do
have a purpose.

The Saturday holiday is in memory of a man with an ideal,
of George Washington Scott, the founder of Agnes Scott.
This year there won't be reminders set up just for the occas-
ion; elaborate costumes, pageants, or spectacular decorations.

The important reminders this time are more permanent
ones the campus, the faculty, the students, the alumnae, the
ideals of the college. All the dreams of the founder, the most
fitting memorial to his day.

Ceremony To Reveal
'48- '49 President
Of Mortar Board

The new Mortar Board president will be tapped Tuesday
night when Mortar Board serenades members of the new
chapter. Announcing the chapter president before elections
is an innovation designed so that the campus may know'
which member of the senior class is ineligible for other big
campus offices, according to Pagie

Violette, Mortar Board president.

Mortar Board will serenade the
girl whom they have picked for
president and take her with them
to sing to the other members of
the 1948-49 chapter. The chapter
members, already selected by the
present Mortar Board, will be an-
nounced at the traditional annual
tapping ceremony April 9.

The new procedure for announcing
the president breaks sharply with
the old tradition of keeping her
identity secret until the tapping
ceremony after elections. Pagie
pointed out that the president's
identity always became obvious
anyway at election time when she
declined all nominations to other
offices.

"This way," Pagie commented,
"the announcement will not come
as anti-climax to elections."

Mrs. A. Moore To Talk
On SG Theme Thursday

Mrs. Arthur Moore, of Atlanta,
will present the last phase of
Student government's, theme, "To
be a good citizen of the nation
and the world by being well in-
formed," in Thursday's assembly.

A popular lecturer, Mrs. Moore
has received an honorary doctor
of law degree from LaGrange col-
lege. She is the wife of Bishop
Moore, bishop of the North Geor-
gia Conference of the Methodist
church.

Archaeologist
Will Lecture
Thursday

Dr. David M. Robinson, former
Vickers professor of archaeology
and epigraphy at Johns Hopkins
university, will give an illustrat-
ed lecture in Maclean chapel to-
morrow night at 8:30. His exca-
vations at Olynthus, the only fifth-
century Greek town ever uncover-
ed, will be the topic of his talk.

Dr. Robinson holds a doctor of
philosophy degree from the Uni-
versity of Chicago, and three hon-
orary doctor's degrees from other
institutions. He has lectured wide-
ly in American and European uni-
versities and is the author or co-
author of about 25 books on ar-
chaeology. He was editor of the 35
volumes of the "Johns Hopkins
Studies in Archaeology," and has
served as editor of seven periodi-
cals including The Art Bulletin,
and The American Journal of
Philology.

The noted archaeologist and
author comes to Agnes Scott on
the invitation of the recently form-
ed Atlanta Chapter of Arechaeolog-
ical Institute of America. The lec-
ture will be open to the public.

Tryouts for modeling in the

By Charlsie Smith

Excellent acting, spiced with
authentic Elizabethan costumes
an occasional outburst of song
from Feste, carried a responsive
audience beyond an unimpressive
state setting to the fairy-like
mirthful atmosphere of Ulyria in
the Barter players' version of
"Twelfth Night."

Outstanding in this lively, fast-
moving production of Shake-
speare's comedy were Gerry Jedd
as Maria, Larry Gates as Sir Toby
Belch, Frederic Warrlner as Sir
Aguecheek, and Joan Mortimer as
a gracious and spirited Viola.

Always heralded by Sir Toby's
deep, gurgling, off-stage guffaw,
the scenes of broad comedy were
especially rich. Two of the best

were the duel between Viola and
Sir Aguecheek and Malvolio's dis-
covery of Maria's false billet-doux.
In the first, the complete dismay
on Viola's part and the physical
agitation of Sir Aguecheek at the
prospect of fighting sent the au-
dience into gales of laughter.

In the scene of the duping of
Malvolio, his egotistical pomposity
and the insults hurled by the con-
spirators from behind the potted
plants were ridiculous in their in-
congruity.

An interesting feature of the
performance was the importance
given Sir Andrew Aguecheek.
Foolish by admission and in ap-
pearance, he often stole the scene
from other more important char-
acters with his priceless mimicry

of their actions, his boistrous tir-
ades, and his drunken dancing.

Petite Gerry Jedd with her tire-
less flitting about and chirping
excellently realized her role as
Maria.

Fern Bennett's Olivia was a
hoydenish coquette, with none of
the dignified and melancholy great
lady with which the character is
usually portrayed.

Her portrayal was, in a way,
indicative of the whole production
Monday night. Shakespeare's ro-
mantic comedy gained in the
comic at the expense of the ro-
mantic element. The emphasis was
definitely on hilarious farce in-
stead of sweet romance. The whole
play was fun to watch; it must
have been fun to produce.

ASC Debaters
Win Honors
In Tournament

Betty Jean Brown and Dot Por-
ter, Agnes Scott's affirmative,
took second place honors at Em-
ory's All-Georgia Tournament
Friday. Affirmative Rose Ellen
Gilliam and Hazel Berman debat-
ing for the first time won all their
rounds.

In the three-round tournament
the negative defeated University
of Georgia and Georgia Tech. In
their third round they lost to
North Georgia. As the top rank-
ing negative team they redebated
North Georgia, who had netted
the most affirmative points in the
final round for the tourney title.

Affirmatives, Rose Ellen and
Hazel, downed West Georgia, Em-
ory at Valdosta and Armstrong
Junior College, netting enough
points to rank second among af-
firmative winners. This is the
first tourney in which they had
debated.

The question, resolved: th)at
voting in the Democratic primary
in Georgia should be on the basis
of population, was affirmatively
worded as evidenced by the pre-
ponderence of affirmative wins.
There were onry nine negative
wins out of 30 debates.

Service Ends

Chapel discussions Thursday and
Friday and a communion service
in Gaines Thursday night climax-
ed the Religious Emphasis Week
program.

The closing chapel discussions
centered around faith, the theme
of the Religious Week. Dr. Donald
Miller, leader of the week's pro-
gram, emphasized the need for a
personal faith in facmg the pro-
blems of life today, listing these
problems as self-centeredness,
questions of truth, and life's ul-
timate destiny. Dr. Miller pointed
out that understanding and so-
lution of these questions can come
only through a personalized faith.

"If we are surrounded by faith,"
Dr. Miller concluded, "nothing can
touch our lives.

our faith is to personalize it."

The Thursday night communion

McCain's Talk,
Choir Spark
Fri. Broadcast

To strains of the Alma Mater,
sung by the freshman choir, the
annual Founder's Day broadcast
came on the air Friday night over
WSB. The broadcast commemo-
rated the fifty-ninth anniversary
of the founding of Agnes Scott.

The freshman choir opened the
program by singing Tift Thine
Eyes" from "Elijah" and "Lamb
of God."

Dr. McCain made a short talk,
greeting alumnae and friends of
the college and telling of Agnes
Scott alumnae's war records. He
stated that a new directory of
all alumnae is planned for the near
future.

A $500,000 endowment has been
offered to Agnes Scott, Dr. Mc-
Cain announced, on condition that
the school raise $1,000,000. He
pointed out that this endowment,
the third gift of its size in 20
years, will help raise Agnes Scott's
endowment to the level of that
of many colleges for women in the
north east.

The freshman choir closed the
program with Deems Taylor's
folk song, "Waters Ripple and
Flow."

Freshmen, Juniors Cop
Victories In Basketball

By Tee Toe Williams

in the pre-holiday basketball games Wednesday night, the
the freshmen pulled through with a 21-14 victory over the
seniors, and the juniors trampled the sophomores 36-20. The
games originally scheduled for Friday were pushed up be-
cause of Founder's Day.

Frosh Forge Ahead

Keeping the scores down and
excitingly close through the third
quarter, the trosh and seniors
played a slow determined game.
Each team struggled to get a
point or two anead ot the other
until rurally the freshmen in a
series or lucny snots succeeded in
establishing a sate margin.

superior neignt on tne part ol
both the guards and forwards in
the frosh line-up served as a de-
finite asset in getting the ball
from tne seniors. The defensive
tactics oi tne senior forwards were
outstanding through the whole
game. JLou McL-aurin in particu-
lar broke up numerous passes be-
tween guards and from guard to
forward across center.

Juniors Lead at Half

As evidenced by the difference
in the final scores, the soph-junior
match was much more spirited
than the other. The sophs started
out with an obvious determination
to defeat the undefeated juniors.
Despite their efforts, however, the
juniors gained an early lead end-
ing the half with a 20-8 advantage.
Soph forwards had hard luck on
many of their shots; junior guards
were able to recover the ball from
the backboard and to transfer it
to their own forwards. First line
soph guards were back in the game
this week and played hard and
fast in an effort to keep the op-
ponent from ringing goals and to
make their passes across the line
good.

Junior Injured

The juniors were victims of
physical mishaps in that Ellis was
unable to play at all because of a
sprained ankle and Cuthbertson
suffered a turned ankle during
the game. They adjusted to sub-
stitutions, however, and seemed
unhampered in working out their
piays.

Line-ups were as follows:

Seniors Manly, Saxon, Sims,
Beacham, Cunningham, Dunn.

Frosh Brooke, Esco, Kay, Har-
ris, Hatchel, Thompson.

Juniors Brannan, Cuthbertson,
Davis, Blake, Cook, Newton.

Sophs Paschall, Warlick, Wil-
liamson, Cole, Evans, Mitchell.

All four debated the same sub-
ject here in the All Southern
event in November. Betzie and
Ann Carol upheld the negative
and Kate and Clarkie the affirma-
tive.

Betzie and Clarkie were teamed
last year as the affirmative and
debated in the Grand National at
Mary Washington college in Vir-
ginia placing ninth in the nation's
big ten. Kate and Ann Carol's in-
itial debates were this fall in the
Agnes Scott meet.

Well the roving reporter is back
from a wonderful weekend of
Florida sunshine and ready to
catch up on all the news here in
the athletic world. Speaking of
things that are back the tor-

of perfect tennis, riding, and
"anything you'd like to do" weather.
However I saw two robins play-

that's a sure sign that spring can't

Voters 7 League
Sends Jones
To Chicago'

Mary Frances Jones represent-
ed the Agnes Scott League of
Women Voters at the College
League conference in Chicago last
week.

Delegates from 12 states repre-
senting approximately 41 college
leagues, discussed the role of the
college student in the League's
non-partisan program to stimulate
citizens to take part in govern-
ment.

Mrs. Emily Taft Douglas, form-
er congres9woman from Illinois
and one-time staff member of the
Illinois League, was the principle
speaker. College students conduct-
ed the programs for most of the
sessions of the conference.

Mary Frances, a junior, is
chairman of the art committee
for Agnes Scott's League of Wo-
men Voters.

Something else that is here
again, but of far, far greater im-
portance is the annual Red Cross
drive. The drive starts this Fri-
day, Feb. 27, and lasts through
March 2. Membership cards are to
be awarded to all those who con-
tribute one dollar. We don't have
to be told what a worthy cause
our money is going for so let's all
give generously. And don't for-
get to attend chapel Friday and
hear Glen Whisler, regional di-
rector of the Atlanta Red Cross.
Also be sure and see the Red
Cross movie Monday night which
climaxes the drive.

Wednesday night saw two ex-
tremely exciting basketball games
in the gym with the freshmen
topping the seniors and the jun-
iors overcoming the sophs. The at-
tendance was higher than usual
and among the spectators were
Dr. Donald Miller, on campus for
Religious Emphasis Week, Dr. Mc-
Cain, and Dr. Cummings.

Water Ballet Heads
Sports Attractions

By Marie Cuthbertson

A water pageant rivaling the magnificence of Billy Rose's
Aquacade leads the list of sports attractions for the first
week of March at Agnes Scott. The practice and planning of
Faculty Advisor Margie Lyons, and the swimming manager
Charlotte Evans has resulted in a performance which should
keep the spectators glued to their'

seats.

The features of this winter
water carnival are many and va-
ried. Although Manager Evans
would not be induced to reveal
all her plans for the show, there
will be some thrilling diving ex-
hibitions by Beryl Crews, Emily
Wright, Zollie Saxon, Betty Cole,
and Jenny Wren.

Joann Cobb will demonstrate
the techniques used to handle a
Hawaiian paddleboard (surfboard
to non-aquatic minded folk) one
of the most difficult of all the
water sports. Announcer, Reese
Newton will help explain these
skills and those displayed in the
other events.

Another feature of the show
will be a comic number by Bun-
ny Brannan and Betty Blackmon
which will both amuse and amaze
the spectators. There will be a
ballet of the various water skills
executed by Betty Cole, Jenny
Wren, Zollie Saxon, and Charlotte
Evans. The grand finale will be
a ballet, "The Waltz of the Flow-
ers," featuring Barbara Lawson,
Twig Hertwig, Jessie Carpenter,
Gretchen Reinartz, Lee Brewer,
and Patricia Asbury.

Mikado

(Continued from page 1)
Kickley. James Byrd and Otto
Morris will appear as Pooh-Bah,
the Lord High Everything Else,
and A. Lee Roberts and Pierce
Merry will sing the role of Pish-
Tush, a noble lord.

Other members of the glee clubs
will make up the chorus of school-
girls, nobles, guards, and coolies.
Music for the operetta is under
the direction of Walter C. Her-
bert, director of the Georgia Tech
Glee club, assisted by Mrs. Re-
bekah Clarke, instructor in music
at Agnes Scott.

Athletic association is opening the third drive to replace
World Service Council's function on campus. Since the drive
catches us with the spent, end of the quarter feeling, we will
all too easily murmur, "I gave to the last one; let some one
else do it this time. After all what is there in it for me?"

By Mary Beth Little

Lights! Curtain! Vamp (orchestral only)!

Let's take inventory of the benefits received from contrib-
uting to the Red Cross fund. First and foremost the best
pick-up for the campussed, shut-in feeling is sympathetic
identification, if only for a moment, with an altruistic move-
ment greater than ourselves.

Secondly self-centered, campus-centered lives may be
lived without discord only if the major problems of human-
ity are solved. It is quite true that we may be comfortably
oblivious to the restlessness of great minds seeking solutions
to major problems. Yet we must live on the benefits derived
from their struggles.

Consequently it pays to support those movements for the
solution or amelioration of world conflicts be they with nature
or with man. We as an empirically minded people can see
the results of our contributions, no matter how slight they
may be.

A. A.'s drive for Red Cross is a paying proposition. For our
share we will reap dividends plus double compound interest.

Why Must Everything
Happen At Once?

"It's not the work, it's these decisions that are killing me,"
a bewildered Agnes Scotter muttered Monday.

The question, shall we to the drama or the concert, was
difficult enough. But most persons know whether Wagner
or Shakespeare claims their highest devotion. And either way
they chose they could not lose.

But how about those who faced these alternatives: To
"Twelfth Night" to see the only Shakespearian company in
the south, or to the concert to hear Lauritz Melchior who is
not in Atlanta every night or even every other night, or to
pass for the quarter by missing both to peruse the text for
that Tuesday test or to copy that paper due Tuesday.

Of course, if the giddy gals had budgeted their time why,
they could have assigned various portions of the night to
each activity. Those who are Eager Amazons probably did.

We do not wish to abolish academic standards for social
standards. We do not complain about tests assigned the day
after a fraternity formal. We do want to be able to take
advantage of the unusual cultural advantages offered us.

There must be days in the week with no Lecture associa-
tion program the night before. Why not quiz us then?

Bells Clang, Boxes Bang
As 9:20 Bedlam Begins

By Calico

The 9:20 bell clangs through
the building, and instantly the
quiet, deserted corridors become
bedlam! Doors fly open and the
mad rush begins. Hundreds of
shrieking females bound down the
steps three at a time in their race
to be first come.

Finally the goal is reached the
mailroom! But, alas, the fight has
just begun. Ahead you can dimly
see rows of mailboxes, but be-
tween you and your object is a
mass of pushing, yelling human-
ity.

So now comes the test. What
type of person arc you? What do
you do in such a situation?

The first group that we might
note belongs in the "I'll just wait"
or "Nobody would write me but
mother, anyhow" category. These
delicate creatures, rightfully fear-
ing injury in the fray, decide,
upon viewing the scene, that af-
ter all mail (spelled MAIL) should

not be the first thing in life.
There are other things of far more
value, they tell themselves. Never-
theless they decide to study in
the mail room for a few minutes
just in case the crowd should
thin before 9:30.

Those belonging in the second
group might be termed The Ama-
zons. They are those who, with
eyes fastened on their mailbox
and elbows fixed in their neigh-
bors' backs, give a mighty heave
and they're in. It is best not to
mention the dire results that fol-
low in their wake.

In the third group come the
real intellects or those who pre-
fer brain to brawn. These take a
quick survey of the situation,
choose the closest friend closest
to the mailbox, and bellow, "Look
for mine, please!" Thus, they get
their mail and avoid en excess use
of energy. The trouble, of course,
will come when all adopt this
policy.

Guest columnists for the final
C abbages and Kings next week
will be Cama Clarkson, Casey
Chance, and Ann Sartain.

Civil Rights Forum
Held at Atlanta U.

Six Agnes Scott students and

and Clarke college.

About 3000 students and faculty
members attended the forum on
the report of President Truman's

came from Spellman, Morehouse,
Mercer and Emory.

Sheely Little, president of A.

drive will extend through tomor-
row. Aiming at 100 per cent mem-
bership from the campus, A. A. is
contacting students through in-
dividual collectors for the day stu-
dents, 'boarders, and faculty mem-
bers.

Quoting President Truman's
statement that "many times dur-
ing the year we call on the Red
Cross, but only once a year does
the Red Cross ask our aid," Glenn
Whisler added his plea for con-
tributions to the A. A. sponsored
drive.

Mr. Whisler, regional director of
the Atlanta Red Cross, spoke in
chapel Friday explaining that be-
cause of the numerous floods, fires,
and hurricanes in 1947, surplus
funds from former years were
used up.

"The Red Cross," he said, "used
11 billion dollars instead of the
two billion dollars allowed." Lack-
ing a surplus to fall back on and
with new projects such as the
Blopd Bank, the Red Cross need
is urgent this year, Mr. Whisler
pointed out.

Fashion Show
Features Style
For Spring

"Are my hose seams straight?"

"Do I look slinky enough?"

"Posture, if you please, Susie!"

These were some of the conver-
sation tidbits overheard before
the Fashion Show, promoted by
Social Standards. The show was
held last night in McLean.

The 20 girls, who were selected
from an estimated 40 who tried
out to model J. P. Allen's wear-
ing apparel, included June Irvine,
Mary Gene Sims, Caroline Hodges,
Dot Stewart, Pinny Rogers, and
Julianne Hartrampf.

Modeling outfits ranging from
smooth sweater and skirt variety
to sleek ball room gowns were Val
von Lehe, Andrea Dale, Julianne
Cook, Nancy Deal, Margie Orr,
Joan Mahoney, June Harris, and
Newell Turner.

Also advancing the newest look
were Mimi Arnold, Susan Gauger,
Betty Davison, Joann Cobb, Su-
san Pope, Nancy Brown, and Mary
Manly.

Musical background was sup-
plied by Nancy Dendy at the piano
and Miss Kathereen Runnells
commented on the costumes.

tative to Lower House for fresh-
man year and a sophomore rep-
resentative to Executive commit-
tee.

Doris was a member of the
freshman hockey team, a day stu-
dent representative to Freshman
Cabinet, and a reporter for the
News her sophomore year. Her
other student activities include
serving on a May Day committee
and on decorations and costume
committees for Junior Joint.

An active church member, Doris
is president of the Young Peoples'
Council of the Atlanta Presbytery,
a representative from her Presby-
tery to the Young Peoples' Coun-
cil of the Georgia Synod, and
chairman of Christian Comrade-
ship in the Decatur Presbyterian
church.

This year's ceremony to an-
nounce the in-coming Mortar
Board president breaks with the
tradition of revealing her identity
in a tapping ceremony after elec-
tions. The other members of the
'48-'49 chapter of Mortar Board
already elected, will be announced
in the traditional annual tapping
April 9.

Pagie Violet te, president of
Mortar Board, explained that the
innovation in the tapping of the
president was designed so that,
students may know who is in-
eligible for big campus offices be-
fore they nominate, and so that
the announcement of the president
does not come as an anti-climax to
elections.

By Dabney Adams

An auditorium full of operetta
goers were transported to the
Town of Titipu, Friday night and
a wonderful time was had by all.
From the first vision of Georgia
Tech leg art to the last curtain
call, "The Mikado" lived up to the
record that the combined glee
clubs have set for a grand per-
formance.

To the high comedy of Mr. Gil-
bert's lyrics and the sparkle of
Mr. Sullivan's music was added
that priceless ingredient of a cast
that seemed to be enjoying the
whole thing as much as we did.

Yum-Yum Delicious

Of course Nanki-Poo, who was
a delightfully romantic wandering
minstrel with a very good voice,
had every reason to enjoy his role
of making love to Yum-Yum;
Mary Beth was indeed delicious.
Nothing could be easier for her
than flirting and singing and
looking beautiful, and the way

Her voice was at its loveliest,

ivete with which she compared
her own beauty to the sun, in
lines which she was finally per-
suaded to say only after vigorous
protest.

Terry Triumphs

Nanki-Poo's and Yum-Yum's
shockingly illegal behind-fan flir-
tation was melodious and convinc-
ing, but we found our own true
affections settled on Ko-Ko. As
the most lovable Lord High Execu-
tioner of Titipu or any place else,
Waren scored another and even
bigger hit with us who are his
fans of long standing.

His capers, his tears, the infec-
tuous gaiety of his singing, and
the pertinency of his additions to
the dialogue were all carried off
with the kind of zest that the au-
dience can't help sharing.

The Lord High Everything Else
was certainly everything that Ko-
Ko wasn't. With his shall-we-say
ungainly figure, his slow drawl,
and his lachrymose disposition,
Pooh-Bah was a hilarious foil
for Ko-Ko. The only way they
were alike was in being perfect
in their parts.

job; the "Three Little Maids from
School" number set a high stand-
ard which Susan Bowling and
Sara Jane Campbell sustained
beautifully. Susan must be brand-
ed as a scene-stealer for her won-
derful account of Nanki-Poo's ex-
ecution.

Katisha Adds Drama

The entrance into this lilting,
loving, laughable atmosphere of
the revengeful Katisha was one
of stark drama. After a long re-
cord of successfully vicious fe-
males, Helen Currie came back
to outdo herself as the blight on
Nanki-Poo's life.

She made it obvious why men
had a hard time learning to love
her, and it was just as obvious
that the audience had no trouble
at all in being glad to have her
around. The Wagnerian pathos of
her solos and the eternal, if an-
tiquated, femininity of her sub-
mission to Ko-Ko's tearful "Tit-
Willow" place Helen as our Choice
for a combination of Judith An-
derson and Zazu Pitts. It goes
without saying that her fine voice
was a real esthetic pleasure.

Mikado's Entrance Climactic

The Mikado's entrance had the
same climactic effect on the au-
dience that it had on the char-
acters, but for a different reason.
We followed the Mikado's advice
to "let the punishment fit the
crime;" and his combination of
dead-pan, diabolical leer, and a
grand voice surely deserved that
tumultuous applause. It is a real

tribute to the cast that the rest
of the operetta wasn't an anti-
climax at all.

During the "Flowers That
Bloom in the Spring" song and
dance routine, we felt like join-
ing in with voice as well as with
a tapping foot, and as good as the
finale was, we hated to see it
come.

Some sort of honorable men-
tion ought to be made for the
whole-hearted participation of the
third from the right in the male
chorus and for the good sports-
manship of all the boys who had
to wear short pants. Indeed credit
goes to every member of both
choruses for their grand singing
and for their enjoyment that add-
ed so much to our own.

It seemed to me that the only
person who didn't have a good
time in Pressor last Friday night
was that very impressive gray-
green Buddha, who evidently
doesn't appreciate Gilbert and
Sullivan.

Play By Play

By Floss Hanson

It looks like winter quarter is coming to a close and with it closes
a winter sports season that has really been tops. This has included
some mighty good basketball games that have kept us all right
' on the edge of our seats, a badminton tournament, and the basketball
free throw contest. Next quarter the sports scene will shift from
the basketball courts to the tennis courts, to riding, archery, and
golf, and if it can be called a sport sun-bathing.

We'd kinda like to award a prize posey of the week to the versatile
senior basketball players who interchanged from forward to guard
with results that brought down the house. That Doc Dunn really
shoots a mean goal!

While we're on the subject of basketball we'd Tike to offer our
heartiest congratulations to all those chosen for the Varsity and
Sub-Varsity teams. We hope the campus will turn out Friday to
see these elites of the basketball world tangle in the final game of
the season.

On the roster for Wednesday is the annual swimming pageant
and it's going to be something that you don't want to miss. We hear
that the finale is' something straight out of Hollywood so see you
at the gym at eight o'clock sharp. And those of you who can please
don't forget to bring some flowers which are needed for the show.

Frosh, Juniors End
Season With Wins

By EClaire Cunningham

Basketball class games ended for the season Friday with
victories for the frosh and juniors. The juniors defeated the
seniors 17-39 and the frosh downed the sophs 20-29.

In the junior-senior game the score remained pretty close
throughout the first half. Mary Gene Sims was sinking over-
head shots for the senior team

and the junior forwards Huey,
Davis, and Brannan were divid-
ing their shots evenly. The half
ended 13-20 for the juniors.

During the second half the jun-
ior score began a slow mount.
With only four minutes to play,
the seniors, for reasons unknown,
maybe is was an inner urge that
could not be denied, maybe it was
strategy to confuse the juniors or
maybe it was just senior idiosyn-
cracy, swapped positions and all
forwards played guard and all
guards played forward. Though
the change did not win the game
it livened it up for both players
and spectators.

After the exciting game the
soph and frosh played at their last
meeting they came out on the
court determined to play a strong
game. They were evenly matched
teams each seeking the advantage.
The frosh gained a small margin
which they were able to maintain
throughout the game. Kay was
sinking shots from every angle and
Williamson was making long shots
count.

Interception of passes and
breaking up of dribbles were no-
table features of the game. These
two teams promise to furnish keen
rivalry during the next years.

Between games Julianne Cook,
manager, announced the varsity
and the sub-varsity teams, and

Merry-go-Round

By Mildred Cktire Jones

Ever wish you were Aladdin? Then you could rub a little
lamp and have all your dreams come true? It would seem
that lots of people had Aladdin's magic touch this weekend,
for besides 'The Mikado" and the shows, the campus buzzed
with activity.

White Roses

The White Rose formal given by
the Emory Sigma Nus at Peach-
tree Gardens was a beautiful af-
fair. Alta Lee Patch, Betsy Baker,
Shirley Simmons, Virginia Kay,
and Olive Partee were there.

The Emory KA party at Mar-
ietta Country club was popular
too, with Lorton Lee, Margie Or,
Marilyn Gorman, Val von Lehe,
and Sally Ellis there.

Seen at the ATO house were
Jane Oliver, Dot Floyd, Grace
Durant, Nancy Deal, Jo Heinz,
and Olive Partee, while Susan
Gauger, DoDo Martin, and Mar-
garet Brewer went on the Phi
Kappa Tau hayride, and Sarah
Hancock went to a PiKA house
dance.

The SAE party at Tech found
many of the Scott girls the cen-
ters of attraction. They were Bet-
ty Williams, Mary Louise Warlick,
Margaret Hopkins, Claire Foster,
Charlotte Evans, Ann Faucette,
Splinter Board, Betty Bedding-
field, Jean Tollison, Virginia Kay,
Sara Samonds, Annelle Simpson,
and Ruthie Grimes.

People From Distant Realms

Among the parents on campus
for the operetta were Mary Beth
and Norah Anne Little's parents,
Helen Edwards' parents, B. J.
Crowther's mother, Mary Gene
Sim's mother, Sara Jane Camp-
bell's parents, Jean Osborne's par-
ents, Casey Chance's sister, and
Jo McCall's parents. Katherine
Davis visited in Boyd, and Jessie
Paget visited in Cunningham. Bet-
ty Asbill's mother and Jimmy were
here.

Saturday night Dean Morris,
Pris Hatch, Liz Ragland, Jessie
Carpenter, and Gretchen Reinartz
went to a Shipwreck party at Em-
ory, while Alice Davidson and
Lou McLaurin went to a dance
at the Athletic club. The KA par-
ty at Tech was very interesting
to Gin Vining, and Mary Mohr
and Virginia Skinner enjoyed a
Phi Delt house dance.

Vanesse Orr, formerly in class
of '48, visited Sheely Little, Can-
dy Hollandsworth, and Ann Ez-
zard. Julianne Coleman's John was
here from the University of Geor-
gia, and Beth Jones' Bill was here
from the University of Georgia
too. Nancy Parks' Frank was
here.

Lynn Phillips, Mim Steele, and
June Driskill were seen at the
Naval Air Station, while Jenn
Payne was at the Paradise Room.
Magie Carpet

Those who were "Far from the
reach" over the weekend were
Mimi Arnold, Barbara Ann Fu-
tral, Mary Chappell, and Andrea
Dale in Griffin, Virginia Arnold
and Mary Frances Perry in New-
nan, Johanna Wood at Wesleyan,
Liza Pollard and Nancy Brown in
Columbia, S. C, Betty McClain
and Joan Brown in Marblehill,
Lee Cousar in Florence, S. C, and

Robinson Cites
Modern Trends
In Olynthus

Planned streets, blocks of ten
houses similar to the Baltimore
Blocks, an aquaduct carrying the
water 10 miles and raising it 50
feet, early mosaics, and yale locks
are among the archaeological finds
Dr. David M. Robinson cited as
the most valuable in his excava-
tions of Olynthus in Macedonia.

Dr. Robinson, former Vickers
professor of archaeology and
epigraphy at Johns Hopkins uni-
versity, gave an illustrated lec-
ture Thursday on the history and
his findings at Olynthus. Olyn-
thus is the only fifth century
Greek town ever uncovered. ,
, In 1928 when Dr. Robinson dis-
covered the ruins there was noth-
ing visible above ground. Refugees
were camped on the spot, Dr.
Robinson said, and it was through
their scavaging that Olynthus was
uncovered.

t>r. Robinson was brought to Ag-
nes Scott at the invitation of the
recently formed Atlanta Chapter
of the Archaeological Institute of
America.

McCain Will Talk
To Boys High Group

Dr. James R. McCain will speak
to the student body of Boys High
school tomorrow on communism.

He plans to define the term fn
theory and practice. Sources for
his talk will be reports from
Darby Fulton and others on com-
munism as it is today in China,
Africa and Palestine.

The zeal of the communists,
President McCain commented, is
akin to that of early Christians
and we need the same zeal for
Christianity or we will be out-
stripped.

Dr. McCain will address the
Napsonian Parent Teachers' asso-
ciation March 9 on the place of
the preparatory school in Atlanta
today. According to him, the pub-
lic school provides adequate train-
ing but lacks superlative college
preparatory work.

of Mortar Board asked her to ac-
cept the responsibilities of presi-
dent for the next year. "I went
to the gym afterwards in a daze,"
she added, "and tried to concen-
trate on the basketball to keep it
from bouncing off my head."

Sully admitted that she was
having a hard time keeping her
secret, especially during the fre-
quent junior bull sessions on the
subject, and she added with a grin,
"Of course my friends will pro-
bably die laughing when they find
out."

With a schedule including hours
toward an English major, hockey
or basketball practice, duties as
secretary of Student government,
and week-end fun, Sully finds lit-
tle leisure for pastimes. Reminis-
cing a bit, though, she recalls her
poetry collecting days in high
school. She corresponded with a
girl in England and for a while
they exchanged poems of modern
authors. Of the two Sully says she
prefers the English to the Ameri-
can.

Sully likes sports, appreciates
but doesn't indulge in music, and
most of all enjoys reading.

"I collect after-dinner coffee
cups, too," she commented, "main-
ly because several people have
given me one."

Sully says she is honored and
a bit awed that she was picked to
be president of Mortar Board,
but, refusing to take herself ser-
iously, insists that her only out-
standing points are her size 9%
feet.

Moore Speaks
On SG Theme

"Womanhood makes her best
contribution by being true to her
feminine nature," declared Mrs.
Arthur Moore, and she continued
"We must be before we can do."

Mrs. Moore, who holds a Ph.D.
degree in law from La Grange
College, La Grange, Ga., spoke on
"Woman's Responsibility in the
New World Order" in Thursday's
chapel program sponsored by stu-
dent government.

Explaining that being a vital
Christian is our most important
job, Mrs. Mocre followed Student
government's theme, "Do as well
as Dream," by urging that woman,
the constructive and harmonizing
member of any partnership, must
not only have the ideals, but must
get out and fight for those ideals.

Frosh To Sing
At Celebration
For Rotarians

Freshman Choir under the di-
rection of Mrs. Rebekah Clarke,
will present a 15 minute program
of music for the Rotary club of
Decatur Friday at 1:15 p. m.

The meeting, to be held at the
Candler Hotel? commemorates the
tenth anniversary of the club. %

Decatur's Rotary club was or-
ganized 10 years ago by Dr. J. R.
McCain, Alvin Foster and Dr.
Estes. Mr. Foster heard the Foun-
ders Day program presented over
the air on February 20, and liked
it so well that he asked the choir
to present some religious numbers
for the club.

Dr. McCain and Mr. Foster,
both charter members of the club,
have special interests in the col-
lege. Mr. Foster is the father of
Betty Jane Foster, member of the
choir group.

various art vocations April 5 at
7:30 p. m. Six alumnae will speak
about their own experiences and
preparations for jobs. Tuesday
night, April 6, the subjects under
discussion will be educational, so-
cial, and library work.

The last night of the conferences
discussions will be on jobs con-
cerning business, public service,
and languages. These discussions
will last one hour only, but any
one may stay afterwards for spe-
cific questions or information.

The week will conclude with
skits in assembly written by col-
lege students and directed by Miss
Weaver. They will treat the ques-
tion of how to approach an em-
ployer for a job. The speakers for
these discussions are being select-
ed now for the Vocational Guid-
ance committee headed by Miss
Mary Green, '35.

Other committee members are
Mrs. Henry Newton, '16, Mrs. C.
W. Dieckmann, '13, Miss Carolyn
Strozier, '41, and Mrs Ora Muse,
'37.

Occupations to be discussed
were chosen from answers given
in student questionaires last
month.

Miss Weaver, who will direct
the week of Career Conferences,
will stay on the campus and ap-
pointments for conferences with
her may be made through the
Alumnae office.

The chief purpose of the con-
ference is to help students decide
on careers before they leave col-
lege, Miss Hutchens said, and
should be of interest even to those
who have decided what sort of
work they want to do.

By Dot

A trip with Alice through the
looking glass could reveal no
stranger sights than the looking
glass reflects on the campus at
Agnes Scott. The world here, as
seen in Alice's mirror, is a pink
world of long skirts, ruffled petti-
coats, and low heeled shoes. And
just in the last two weeks the
skirts have gotten longer, the
petticoats more ruffled, and the
low heels lower. All because of an
idea for- a fashion show dreamed
up by the Social Standards com-
mittee.

It all started with the selection,
of the posture queens, and almost
as soon as the announcements
came out, girls began to "tuck in
their hips" and "straighten that
backbone." This made their cloth-
es too loose, so while taking up
the waist of last year's skirt, they
decided to insert a band of the
same material to give that old
skirt the New Look. This spread
from one skirt to another even,
faster than the measles, and now
the whole school looks like a page
out of Glamour.

Then came the sun! Ah, spring!
With all her starched cotton
dresses and frosty white blouses.
(Well, maybe not quite yet, but
spring's in the air, and those cool
clothes won't be in the closet
much longer.) Sunshine makes us
think of shadows, and shadows
makes us think of silhouettes, and
of course silhouettes always turn
our thoughts (and Heads) to suits
- -dark suits with white blouses,
and light suits, and suits and
more suits.

Suits that flare way out and
suits that hang straight (until
10 inches from the floor). Suits
lead us to Easter and, who would

Medlock

think of Easter without thinking
of a new hat. This year hats are
even more out of this world and
into the world of the looking glass
than ever before.

Pink and blue flowers and any-
thing pastel will adorn milady's
chapeau come March 28. And
underneath those fluffy bonnets
will be the newest, shortest hair
that just barely peeks out.

March this year brings Easter.
It also brings winds to play a-
round with our ballerina skirts.
That's not bad though, that's good,
because those petticoats salvaged
from our Great Aunt Daisie's
trousseau will be able to wink at
some innocent male.

Social Standards, the New
Look, and a wistful glance at
grandma's graceful pose in the
family album, have caused a cam-
pus wide awakening to the charms
of style and "gracious living,"
not through the looking glass, but
in the looking glass.

mittee will appoint a continuations
committee to carry out the plans
formulated at the conferences.
The plans provide for the en-
couragement of political action
in favor of the F. E. P. C. bill and
equal and joint education facilities
in graduate and professional
schools and opposed to segregation
and discrimination.

Agnes Scotters attending the
conferences were Sister Davis,
Pagie Violette, Jane Hailey Boyd,
Lady Major, Jane Rushin Hunger-
ford, and Martha Cook.

It's Your Problem

Interclass election whispers come out into the open for
the first time with the publication by the News of "Here's
What It Takes" and "Here's Who's Got What It Takes."

There is a subtle change in the atmosphere as undercover
campaigning begins. As the weeks slip by, the tension mounts
and speculation booms as to whom will be elected to what of-
fice.

Before this mass hysteria of votemania gets under way
we neeed a chance to use our gray matter in considering who
is really eligible for office. It is for this purpose that Student
government publishes in the News the offices and those
eligible so far in advance.

Now and not later is the opportunity to consider in
an objective manner the qualifications for office and who
best fits these qualifications. Now, before personal friend-
ships, animosities, and long tongued rumors can enter the
picture. Will it be the girl who always seems to be the life
of every party and who greets you enthusiastically in the
mail room? Will it be the girl who isn't so conspicuous in her
public role on campus but who "someone" told you was do-
ing a good job? Will it be the girl you think is so cute? Or
the girl who has an efficient look?

Any one or none of these above mentioned types may be
the people's choice. But no one of the above types possesses
an absolute key to success. What's wrong with going below
the surface for a change? Is the efficient type really ef-
ficient? Is the hail fellow well met variety anything more?

Now, not the night before elections is the time to find out;
to think through the problem for yourself. Be prepared when
someone on the way to chapel says significantly, "You know
who to vote for," to answer firmly, "Yes, I do."

Ideas Cross Race Lines

The interracial discussion of the Civil Rights report at At-
lanta university on Feb. 27 and 28 has deep meaning for
southerners, particularly southern college students.

That issues such as segregation and educational, economic
and political equality could be discussed open-mindedly in
the South by Negro and white is significant; that southern
college students of both races could as equals exchange ideas,
learning in that stimulating interchange how fundamentally
similar they are in intelligence, ambitions and interests is
even more meaningful for us.

Few of us have associated with Negro college students; we
are accustomed instead to draw our judgments of that race
from contacts with those whose opportunities are incon-
ceivably below our own.

The conference Friday and Saturday struck deep and hard
at the judgments so based. It forced recognition that the al-
most abyssmal gulf which has always separated Negro and
white is the result of abyssmal difference not of intelligence
but of opportunity, that where human beings have the same
interests and equal training, whatever their race, they stand
upon a broad firm plain where minds may meet, ideas flow
freely, understanding form and expand. Such meetings as
this one are vastly important in dissolving the barriers which
we have so long allowed to stand.

However those white students who attended the conference
at Atlanta university were distressed to see how few of their
own race were present. The represention from Emory, Mercer
and Agnes Scott was only a token one; the meeting itself
was given no publicity on campus and many students sincere-
ly interested and eager to participate were prevented from
attending because the college restricted representation.

Our generation will largely have the responsibility of solv-
ing the problems which the Civil Rights report summarizes.
Educational institutions such as ours have the responsibility
for nurturing liberal thought and open minds.

In the future our administration and our students ought
to have the courageous initiative to participate fully and
openly in these interracial discussions where flourishes best
the racial understanding so vastly essential now.

'Friars' Trojan Women' Phi Beta KappaRecognizes
Blends Ancient, Modern! Eight Seniors InCeremony

The ancient glory of Greece, the
drama and spirit of the Trojan
War, the pathos of the conquered
in the hands of the Greek con-
querer, will be brought alive for
a modern audience tomorrow
night when Blackfriars present
"Trojan Women," the war drama
of centuries ago, written by Eu-
ripides. The curtain will rise on
the -classic columns of Greece at
8:30 p. m. in Presser auditorium.

The "Trojan Women" has
been called the "most moving of
all pacifist plays." At its first
performance in 415 B. C. it was
a prize winner and has since that
occasion been revived for more
modern audiences nu^meno-us
times.

This account of the tragedy of
the Trojan women takes place
during the post war period im-
mediately following the Trojan
War. The well known figures of
Greek Myth and history are pro-
minant in the action. Hecuba,
widowed queen of Troy, played by
Pat MacManmon and Andro-
meche, widow of the Trojan hero,
Hector are among the ill fated
Trojan women who find them-
selves in the grasp of the enemy.
Familiar in Greek literature are
the characters of Helen, who was
allegedly the cause of the whole
affair played by Mary Manly, and
the goddess Athena, played by
Polly Miles.

In the Greek tradition, "Trojan
Women" will boast a speaking
chorus led by Barbara Macris.
Members of the chorus include
Billie Powell, Ann Windham, Em-
ily Pope, Dot Quillian, Katherine
Phillips, B. J. Brown, Martha
Stowel, Dot Allain, Harriet Ann
Maguire, Margaret Hopkins and
Martha Cook.

Play By Play

By Margaret Brewer

With a long list of don'ts, and a sympathetic pat from the "Chief"
culminating in a slight shove, a debutante of the Fourth Estate makes
her bow to sporative society in this first issue of the News for the
spring quarter. Three tempermental typewriters, several desks and
chairs, filing cabinets, collection of old cuts and numerous framed
awards'form the decorations for the hall popularly called the "press
room."

To make a successful debut in the newspaper world it is necessary
to have the proper atmosphere. A sign with the suggestive title "Mill"
is placed above the oldest typewriter in true journalistic fashion,
while hours are consumed in selecting and scattering interesting
iooking magazines on the desk to be read when the inspiration level
is low. Several reams of paper must be carelessly brushed from the
desk to the floor, providing inspiration for that classic sign "Genius
at Work." For the final touch a dim light and a battered eye shade
is installed to provide a soft glow that is more conducive to sleep
than creative works of art.

Awakening several hours later from a refreshing snooze, the
journalistic debutante finds herself staring into the face of that
legendary haunt of all newspaper offices the DEADLINE. With a
quick dab of powder on her nose-for-news, and a mental picture of
the slogan "Get it first, but first get it right," imitation Brenda Starr
dashes out for the "latest" and collides with Jane Sharkey. Result?
A tip that the golf tournament will be played at the American Legion
course in Avondale. Entry sheets are posted in the Gym for those
who would like to participate in the tournament.

After scribbling this information down on a dog-eared envelope
with a leaky pen, the breathless reporter hurries to the physical
education department, it being the most likely source for the sports
news she is supposed to be covering. Mrs. Lapp obligingly informs
her that the Riding club will ride and have supper every Saturday
from 4 to 5:30 in the afternoon.

In search of the tennis class the reporter finds vivacious groups
of ping pong players and several tables of bridge enthusiasts. It
seems the rain has rained them in.

In the badminton world the outcome of last quarter's finals found
Emily Wright and Jackie Stewart victors over Marie Cuthbertson and
Julianne Cook.

Charlotte Evans, president of the Swimming club, announced that
club tryouts will begin March 29 and run until April 9.

With the DEADLINE almost up, the newspaperwoman hurries
back to her "Mill" and beats out copy. When the press begins to
roll she leans back and sighs as other members of the Fourth Estate
have done before her "Journalism it beats working."

A. A. Elects New Leaders;
Appoints '48 - '49 Board

Two members of the retiring A.
A. board, Marie Cuthbertson and
Bunny Brannan, ended their posts
as secretary and treasurer in time
to take over the offices of presi-
dent and vice-president of the new
board. Elected by the student
body, they will fill positions va-
cated by Sheely Little and Vir-
ginia Tucker. Jane Sharkey and
Barbara Lawson were elected
secretary and treasurer.

Sports managers chosen for the
coming year are: Wilton Rice,
hockey; Mary Louise Warlick,
basketball; Gretta Moll, volley-
ball; Mary Ann Ziegler, golf;
Charity Bennett, outing; Julie
Cuthbertson, archery; Julianne
Cook, badminton; Harriet Lurton,
riding; Jo Heinz, publicity; Mar-
garet Brewer, News representa-
tive; Betty Cole, swimming; and
Martha Wililamson, tennis.

The old and navv athletic boards
met in Murphy Candler for a picnic
supper Monday night to discuss
plans for the new year. The re-

tiring sports managers explained
the duties and work of the of-
ficers.

Lecture Asociation
Concludes Series
With Chaffee Talk

By Sara Jane Campbell and
Cama Clarkson

"The ballet is the theatre par
excellance, the exaggeration of
natural movements developing
from pantomime," explained Mr.
George Chaffee, New York dan-
seur and choreographer. Mr.
Chaffee's lecture Wednesday night
in Gaines chapel concluded Lec-
ture association's series for this
year.

Mr. Chaffee mentioned as points
of interest the wide influence of
the French school of ballet, the
excellent technique of the Italian
school, and the increasing in-
fluence of the American school,
he expressed his own hope for a
universal school rather than a
national school of ballet.

Some forms of the dance as
'.hose practiced by Martha Gra-
ham and Isadora Duncan, he
>ointed out, have not been estab-

shed as American schools of

ince because of their personal,

: mitable nature.

k What are you going to do when you finish school any-
way?" "Oh-h-h, I dunno; guess I'll get the degree then worry
about that. Maybe I'll go to school somewhere, maybe I'll
even get married. Oh -h-h-h, I dunno."

And with these profound reflections and observations, far
too many of us dismiss this, vital matter of the future and
leave it to chance, luck, fate or what-have-you.

Here we are, well on the way to obtaining one of the
most helpful tools for creating a successful future a col-
lege education and yet more than likely are neglecting the
all important question of how to use it. Can you imagine a
man armed with a stack of bricks, a supply of cement and
the best steel construction material available, setting out to
build a skyscraper with no idea of how the thing is to be
done, no blueprints, as a matter of fact nothing but com-
plete faith that with the best materials anybody ought to
be able to build a skyscraper. Silly? Not much more so than
the attitude many of us have toward our futures, the how
of putting this tool we hope to have someday to its best use.

Alumnae association has inaugurated a vocational guidance
program this year for the purpose of helping us find out what
can be done about this future's problem. The program has
included talks by alumnae who are well established in their
vocations, discussions by women who are leaders in their
particular fields, tests designed to show vocational interests.

Alumnae association is offering an opportunity to find the
uses of this tool this college education. We have the ma-
terials; the vocational guidance program can help us draw
up the blueprints.

Points To A Purpose

It is traditional. It is natural. It is part of our policy to
state our purpose.

This News staff, the 33rd, put "baby" to bed last night with
the hope that she was properly headed toward positive and
dignified growth.

Our first aim is that of every paper; to turn out, not copy,
but news; to present that news to the campus accurately,
impartially, and as soon as possible.

Next, we strive in our editorials toward positive action.
We shall bring before the campus issues we feel are im-
portant as well as discuss already controverseal points, let-
ting facts guide our policy rather than policy, facts.

Lastly, we are working toward a bigger paper through
wider coverage of news and opinion. Only through the in-
flux of new and varying ideas can a paper grow. And in
all these we shall attempt to maintain the dignity of the
press and of former staffs.

April Poors Day Furnishes
Outlet For Sophomore Steam

By Cathie Davis

April Fool's has passed, and
you're probably still trying to re-
cover from the effects of it, if
you happen to live in the upper
regions of Rebekah. There, with
over half of the possible contes-
tants listening to the real life
story of Carmen and Don Jose,
pranksters had a field day. Now,
it can be told that

The scene of the first crime is
laid in the room of Mimi Mitchell.
It is night and to the darkened
abode of Peter Pan steals an in-
triguer, a long clothesline in hand.
Minutes later the same line
stretches across the corners and
from it hangs every sheet and
towel, well-knotted, that the poor
victim owns. Next to her closet;
the traditional pajamas are sewn.
Other minor mis-haps greeted
poor Mimi upon her return, but
chairs and lamps out of place
were not the worst of the damage
done.

Jean Edwards bore the brunt
of the worst attack. Her room she
found strung with shoes, a pair
from every resident of the floor
who was away for the evening.

All that befell Jean Niven was
an invasion of umbrellas. Hurry-

ing to her comfortable bed she
discovered in its place a brightly
colored mushroom colony.

In Frankie Howerton's room re-
arrangement of the furniture
seemed in order. At her, return to
the dormitory her desk appeared
more cluttered than usual. Atop
it stood a washstand that was sup-
porting the chair on which the
lamps were balanced. Her rugs
hung from the ceiling as back-
ground for the pictures that had
been rehung to make viewing them
from the bed easier.

By now perhaps Pat Buie un-
derstands what happened to her.
Anticipating the prowl jokers she
locked her room before going off
to "Carmen." Another key turned
up and the temptation was too
great for even her best friends.
White curtains and sheets on her
bed were interchanged.

The highlight of the whole
evening was prepared for all resi-
dents of Rebekah who were greet-
ed by trophies of the night's rev-
elry. The halls were decorated
for the return of late opera-go-
ers with strings of bathtub stop-
pers, and drinks from Scotch-
taped water fountains were of-
fered.

Rebel Rubbernecks Tour N. Y;
Revel In Broadway Glamour

By Margaret Brewer

"East Side, West Side, all a-
round the town" - - "The Bowery,
the Bowery, the things they do
and the things they say," - "Yen
you'll never get to see New York
if ya gonna' stand around blockin'
traffick all night," Lady if you
mean Frankfurter say Frankfurt-
er, not Hot D:g," - "Are you from
the South? Tell me are the dog-
wood trees in bloom?"

These were snatches of the
sidewalk symphony of "little old
New York" when an Agnes Scott
group from deep in rebel territory
staged an invasion.

Sophisticated New York-
ers expect visiters to be rubber-
necks and our group led by Miss
Roberta Winter and Miss Priscilla
Lobeck did not disappoint them.
From the moment we stepped into
the large glass-topped Greyhound
touring bus all eyes looked up, up,
and up, our necks quite compar-
able to a swivel chair.

Supper at the Italian restau-
rant, "Del Pezzo," began the first
night's activities, followed by a
march through the world famous
Times Square. We were just a few
of the thousands of people and
pigeons who crowded the Square,
fascinated by the wondrous dis-
play of neon lights.

A little later we settled our-
selves in choice seats just as the
house lights dimmncd and the
curtain raised on Judith Ander-
son's portrayal of "Medea." It
would have d no old Euripides'
heart good to have heard the
applause at the end of the per-
formance.

Up with the dawn and down to
the Automat the second day's ad-
ventures began.

Radio City was our next des-
tination. A smartly uniformed
boy conducted us through the
out-of-this-world studhs, demon-
strated the tricks used for sound
effects, and let those who dared
stand in front of television screens
while their companions in the oth-
er room viewed their images on
radio-television sets. A delight-

ful -half hour of relaxation follow-
ed when we settled back to listen
to Fred Waring perform before
our very eyes.

Dashing from the radio studio
through the black mirrored hall
we arrived at the Music Hall
where the chandeliers lower like
elevators at the push of a button
to be cleaned. This is the home of
the world famous Rockettes that
we saw a few moments later.

Dinner at a Norwegian restau-
rant stopping or visiting art gal-
leries, and another play, the de-
lightful "Brigadoon" finished an-
other day.

Saturday was a strenuous day
for those who decided that no
visit to New York would be com-
plete without a visit to the Em-
pire State building, or a first try
at ice-skating, or, for some of
the more artistically inclined, a
visit to some of the museums. Six
girls managed to squeeze in an
extra play, "Oklahoma," that af-
ternoon, and left the theatre just
in time to enter another for "Man
and Superman." Excitement over
this play was intensified by the
anticipation of meeting Maurice
Evans.

After a ^surprise ^serving of
breakfast in bed Sunday morning,
Miss Winter and Miss Lobeck
gathered us together for a tour
up Fifth Averue by Central Park,
through Harlem, by the New
York university, Riverside church
and Grant's Tomb to the Church
cf St. John the Divine, where
some remained for services while
others went to Saint Patrick's.
After lunch in Greenwich village,
a tour of the Bowery and of China-
town, we returned to the hotel'
in a state of exhaustion, only to
have some suggest a ride on the
Staten Island Ferry. Through the
subway and onto the ferry ten
hearty souls traveled to be en-
closed by a fog so thick you
could see your shadow, and noth-

Jabberwacky

By Lee Cousar

Feeling the need for a head
(for my column), I frantically per-
used Milton, my 211 book, and
Bartlett's Familiar Quotations.
There I found nothing that seem-
ed to carry the depth of thought
I wished my column to contain.
Finally, in desperation, I turned
to some of the more profound
writings of the ages hoping to
encounter in them the needed in-
spiration. There I found a poem
Jabberwocky, by name which
moved me so that I chose it as
the basis for our weakly thoughts.
It seems to contain all the ideas
that I want this column to con-
tain. Let me quote you one or
two of the more stirring stanzas:
'Twas brillig and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.

"Beware the Jabberwcck, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that
catch!

Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!"

Hoping that my readers may
gather from these lines the theme
and general trend that this col-
umn is to take I will say no more
of policy.

Shoe Untied!

As usual, April 1 brought forth
its normal number of fools and
fooled on campus. Scotch-taped
faucets, manicured soap, and
four-sthirty alarm clocks took the
dormitories by storm. At break-
fast we heard of Mr Hayes' sud-
den trip to Chicago, resulting in
a Milton cut. At lunch a pal told
us about the two men who had
called that morning, and for din-
ner we had steaks. Then, too, we
really had a time with our glasses
that persisted in dropping and
our loafers that would come un-
tied!

Bouquets

Orchids, gardenias, and dog-
wood to our newly elected wheels.
Speaking earnestly or should I
say, Frankly we're really look-
ing for great things from Nancy
next year and from all the other
new officers. Who knows, perhaps
even the proposed combination of
Agnes Scott and Davidson into a
co-cd college will be accomplish-
ed.

Huddles in the halls! Chatter in
chapel! Jittery juniors! Reason 0
the eternal man problem as seen
in relation to next Saturday night.
'Midst all the hustle and clatter,
there runs one constant strain;
"Thank goodness, it's Leap Year!
Now I don't mind inviting thai
date I had my freshman year."

Campus Slips

Style-synonymous Mary Beth
Little pounded also as the artist-,
of "La Boneme" beat their hands
together for warmth. Her collasp-
sible hoop refused and her formal
for the performance Saturday
night coveted adjoining seats for
one act before literally giving in.

A letter from Gretch Reinartx
just before her entering "the in-
ner sanctum" for an appendec-
tomy bemoans her "butcher's" de-
cision to vacation in Florida while
they fattened her for the slaugh-
ter.

The .joke was on the News staff
member who phoned first Boyd
to see if ex-editor of this column.
Lee Cousar, had any Copy Hook
for the week. Thinking that she
recognized Lee's voice she severely
upbraided Mrs. Clarke for not
having any pet story to add here.

Sam MeKenzie
To Urge Voting

In an attempt to encourage
Georgia students to register and
vote in the November elections,
the League of Women Voters is
bringing to campus Mr. Sam Me-
Kenzie, of the Junior Chamber of
Commerce, who will speak in as-
sembly Friday.

Immediately following the as-
sembly program a Fulton and De-
Kalb county registrar will regis-
ter any elegible students who have
not previously done so.

The need for making a means
of registration possible for stu-
dents became evident when a cam-
pus poll conducted by the League
revealed that 33 percent of the
371 who replied are eligible to
vote but have failed to register.
Thirty per cent of these students
registered voters and 33 per cent
are not yet eligible.

Students from DeKalb and Ful-
ton counties now 18 or who will
be 18 before the November elec-
tion are eligible to register Fri-
day.

crown of life."

Critic Lauds Trojan Women'
As Realistic Interpretation

By Nora Anne Little

Euripides, proclaimed by his
own people of ancient Greece, re-
ceived a modern ovation in Gaines
chapel last Thursday when Black-
friars presented "The Trojan Wo-
men."

Climaxing the play was the
^ward of the Claude S. Bennett
cup for the best acting during the
year to Grace Durant. Reese New-
ton won the runner-up prize, pre-
sented for the first time this
year.

The beautifully tragic story of
the women left after the war to
be made slaves by the conquering
Greeks was excellently interpreted
by the Blackfriars under direction
of Miss Roberta Winter, instruc-
tor in speech.

The atmosphere of the ancient
theatre was sustained throughout
the performance by the use of
an open stage, the lack of a cur-
tain, the continuous action, the
realistic set depicting a section of

the wall of Troy, and by the ao-
tors themselves whose dramatic
presentations were excellent. The
audience received the impression
of seeing an ancient performance.

Pat McManmon as, Hecuba,
queen of Troy, showed qlearly her
deep grief for Troy and her des-
olation through the complete un-
derstanding of her character. It
was evident to all that she felt
and lived her part for her ges-
tures and beautifully . modulated
voice were sincere and sustained
throughout.

As Andromache, Grace Durant,
the winner of the Claude S. Ben-
nett Award, gave an excellent
portrayal of a tragic figure. Many
of the audience, because of her
grace and tenderness toward As-
tynax, shed tears in sympathy for
her tragic situation and felt with
her the loss of her child.

As mad Cassandra, Reese New-
ton, showed her great acting
ability, which won for her the
runner-up award. Her frenzied
movements and impassioned
speeches lent an eeriness and a
feeling of the horror of war to
the play.

The action of the play owed
much to the chorus of "Trojan
women, members of Blackfriars,
whose speeches and dances lent
atmosphere and furthered- the
plot.

Play By Play

By Margaret Brewer

This sports job is on the ball! Being a gentlewoman of the press
automatically makes you a P. C. (Priviledged Character, that is
not the Varsity's "Plain Chocolate"). Only five days after my ap-
pointment the A. A. graciously extended an invitation to their picnic
supper, April 5. Being a curious soul, and hungry too, this servant
of the press arrived at Murphy Candler, staked out a choice seat in
front of the then-in-use fireplace, and mapped a plan of advance tow-
ard the kitchen before anyone else arrived.

Soon the old and new members of the A. A. board were comfortably
draped arcund the aforementioned fireplace, busily eating. One over-
joyed soul squealed that "They COOK the hamburgers here," but re-
fused to reveal who did NOT cook them. Talk then naturally turned
to the art of cooking, and Doc Dunn stated, and we quote to avoid
libel, "Anyone who eats my cooking will have ptomaine poisoning."
The same could not be said of Bunny Brannan's culinary art ner
slaw was .a "slash" hit.

After introductions were made once by Marie Cuthbertson and
again by Sheeley Little to make doubly sure everyone knew her
neighbor, the talk centered on the ever popular topic of home towns.
The prize for originality goes to Miss Margery Lyon from Punxsu;;.\\ -
ney (you pronounce it, we can hardly spell it), Penn.

During. Gxe course of the pa/ty the athletic cooks made several ap-
peals to please cooperate by consuming more hamburgers. Bunny
said we could help her best by eating a few raw ones, since they
were more plentiful than the conventional 'burgers.

But there is a limit, cv.n to athletic appetites, so Marie thoughtful-
ly prepared several hamburgers of the "cooked" variety for the
News crew wearily putting "baby to bed" upstairs. That's what we
call a real sport!

Jrs Defeat Frosh 35-24

With "Captain Kate Elmore serving, thejuniors scored their
first point toward a 35-24 victory over the freshmen in the
first few seconds of the second volley ball game of the sea-
son Friday afternoon. From then on it was a fast game of
give and take, with the juniors doing much of the giving
and the freshmen taking.

Kate Elmore and Reese New-
ton's smooth serves counted for
eight points of the juniors' final
score, While Val von Lehe's spikes
brought applause from the side-
lines more than once. Julianne
Cook was another high scorer
with eight points to her credit.

The freshmen were no push-
overs by any means. Liz Pollard
threatened junior points many
limes with her amazing spikes.
Ann Brooke was another out-
standing player with her quick
pick-ups and strong volleys win-
ning 1Z. points for her team. Cap-
' tain Dolores Middour did ail
right by the frosh by scoring eight
points.

Several times the sidelines were
threatened by wayward balls, but
the game moved fast with good
teamwork evident on both sides.

The junior lineup was: Reese
Newton, center; Sally Ellis, left
center; Bunny Brannan, Val von
Lehe and Easy Beale, netmen;
Kate Elmore and Betty Black-
man, backs; and Julianne Cook,
right center.

The lineup for the freshmen in-
cluded Dolores Middour, Ann
Brooke, Punky Chard, Liz Pollard
Nancy Brown, Susan Gauger,
Petie Craze, and Freddy Hachtel.

A group of scientists and
scientists-elect represented Ag-
nes Scott at the annual meeting
of the Georgia Academy of
Science held at the University of
Georgia last Friday and Satur-
day.

This ardent group consisted of
the entire science faculty, two
faculty members from the psy-
chology department and seven
senior chemistry students. The
meeting proved enjoyable from
the time the first grey beard was
spied walking across the Athens
campus until the end of the last
paper, subjects varying from "The
Treatment of Watermelon Seed,"
to "Social Behavior Among Dogs."

Most of the Agnes Scott dele-
gation attended a symposium on
valence Friday morning. At the
luncheon which followed the sym-
posium, Agnes Berentzen amaz-
ed the imposing Tech science pro-
fessors sitting around her with
stories of her favorite Norwegian
sport, glacier-sliding.

While Doc Dunn admired (at a
respectful distance) the beauti-
ful, long, curly, blonde beard at
the meeting, Mary Ann Courtney,
Ann Ezzard, and Bob Blair at-
tended a lecture on the effects of
radio-active ionization on chrom-
osomes. Upon hearing of free ice
cream given out at the university
dairy, Miss Elizabeth Criegler,
Jane Alsobrook, and Anne Tread-
well immediately rushed over to
make a purely scientific tour of
the agricultural department, while
all afternoon professors and stu-
dents caught each other slipping
out of the meetings to watch the
tennis matches/

After spending a varied after-
noon, the group met again to
attend a lecture given by Dr. J.
T. Bridgeman, a Harvard phy-
sicist and Nobel Prize winner.
The entire group was impressed
with the careful work with high
pressures he has pursued for 43
years and the ingenious apparatus
he has developed for use in his
work.

Cued To Action

In any battle of boasters Agnes Scott can win no-handed,
for Euripides was here Thursday night, Blackfriars entertain-
ing.

Doubt of the success of "Trojan Women" pervaded the cam-
pus everywhere before the performance, except in Presser
where backstage crews and actors were too busy. Skeptics
groaned at the waste of effort, well-wishers illuded to the
experience gained, but the audience Thursday night marveled
wept, and applauded.

Blackfriars with each success attempts something more dif-
ficult and offers a challenge as well as experience to its mem-
bers. Blackfriars stands out as an organization with a pur-
pose as well as points.

Prove Our Claims

Voting is an adult matter. It is not this idea that has been
a change in provisions for 18 year voting. The only new idea
involved is that today's 18 year old is an adult.

Most of us as college students consider ourselves quite "of
age" or at least well on the way to that goal. We writhe when
our parents or other adults "treat us as children." We can't
understand why anyone could doubt that even though we are
not yet 21 we are mature enough to accept the responsibili-
ties of citizenship. More than likely all that these "honest
doubters" want is a little substantial proof of our claims.

The League of Women Voters is bringing to campus a Ful-
ton and DeKalb county registrar to register all eligible stu-
dents from these two counties. We'll have a chance to prove
to the "honest doubters" that in addition to our interest in
Greek and science we have an interest in citizenship. It takes
all three to make an adult.

Lazy Lassies Drift Into Trance
With Entrance of Spring

By Gretchen Reinartz

With the arrival of bees, birds, and bugs comes the pro-
verbial epidemic which strikes annually, leaving its vic-
tims with that "duh" expression on their countenances. I
am referring, my lassies, to spring fever. Being at present
in the throes of said malady myself, I speak of it with
authority.

Nature's Nerve

Spring is sprouted, and. from the amount of watering na-
ture is providing, should reach Sequoia size in May. The liquid
sunshine, which comes pouring down on an average of all
wcok long, must stop.

The student body objects, the administration objects, and
we, the Agnes Scott News, are voicing their complaints.

Rains come paralizing sports and tossing Physical educa-
tion teachers, class managers, and sports editors to the end
of the lunch line.

Upper classmen, striving to stretch raincoats to meet ri*ew
hemlines, fail, causing vast deterioration of material and
great personal embarrassment. Spring vacation tans fade,
and mumps set in.

Nature can't do this to us. We stand on our Agnes Scott
Student government rights and demand that the new Execu-
tive committee put nature in its place.

The disease strikes without
warning and once the "bug has
bit" you're a goner. From the
time March's lamb goes meekly
out until April's showers bring
May Flowers your character un-
dergoes disgusting set-backs. Ac-
tivity, both mental and physical,
plunges to an amazing low. You
are quite aware that you are the
personification of energy-minus,
but you don't even care. Your
world is one of blissful lethargy
and you love it. Studying is a
good excuse to stretch out on the
bed, eating is a bother (in ex-
treme cases), and physical ex-
ertion becomes absolutely un-styl-
ish.

Messy Masses
The housewife who does spring
cleaning must certainly be im-
mune to the seasonal fever. It is
tiring just to think of such a Her-
culean task. Imagine what Mrs.
Jones or Mrs. Smith would say if
she could but see her darling
daughter's humble abode come
springtime. The closet bulges with
laundry. Shoes and socks by the
dozens peep out from under droop-
ing spreads. The old, dirty saddles
crouch in the corner with tongues
hanging out, for they are choking
with dust and f u z z y-wuzzys.

Chairs groan under the weight of
apparel cast off lo these many
days.

Bed-Aha

And the bed-aha, the center
of activity however slight. A
visitor to your room knows she's
really welcome if you move over
and offer her a spot to recline.
A host of visitors produces a
muddle of scrambled eggs, but
what does it matter? This fever
must be pampered.

As the days advance and the
sun gets in on the fun, you begin
to feel like you're really "your
own grandmaw" and "looking
over a four-leaf clover" is too
much like work. Walking some-
where is out of the question. The
streetcar is way across the street,
and it's too far out to the curb
to get into a car; so you just stay
home.

Birds are disgusting because
they get up too early and chirp
too loudly. Flowers are all right
because they offer a background
for out-of-the-window gazing. In-
sects are intolerable because they
stay awake all night making hor-
rible noises, and who cares what
Katy-did anyway? Mother Na-
ture may be crushed, but She has
never had spring fever or she

would understand..

Beware

If your eye-lids start to d**v.
And you must fight to keep on
top,

Beware, Scottie, beware!

If you feel sort -of lazy,

And your outlook gets all hazy,

Take care, Scottie, take care.

'Cause before too long Yll bet-ya;
The spring fever's gonna - get-ya,
And by then you will have struggl-
ed all in vain,
For you'll never know what hit

ya,

'Till the bad-bug's gone and bit
ya,

And you're driving friends and
faculty insane.

Art Exhibit Reveals
Current Movements

The new exhibit of guoache and
watercolor, which opened April
6 and will continue through April
28, comes from the Museum of
Modern Art in New York.

It includes the work of artists
whose paintings have recently
been shown in New York galleries,
but who are not yet widelj known
throughout the country. Most of
the 12 artists are relatively young
and their work, still in tJie process
of development, reveals varying
degrees of influence from the cur-
rent art movements of expres-
sionism, realism, rommticism, and
abstraction.

Jabberwacky

By Lee Cousar

Another peaceful Saturday, and in the quiet of my own
room I sat me down to write. As I took my pen in hand and
attempted to set dow T n my thoughts I became aware of
rhythmic thuds coming from somewhere in the house.

Dashing across the hall I flung opn the door to the Dendy-
Porter madhouse, and there I was

MEMBER

Associated Collegiate Press

met by an astonishing scene: Ap-
parently the two of them Dot
and Nancy were playing a sort
of glorified "Going to Jerusalem."
In the middle of the floor was one
chair which they both marched
around with candles while Dot
sang. When the music ceased, both
tried for the chair and to the
loser went the job of patting the
winner on the back, shaking her
hand, and wishing her much hap-
piness in life.

Athletic Antics

Quitely closing the door, I
started upstairs. Halfway up I
jumped back in time to avoid a
golfball that whizzed by my head
and out the front door via the
glass pane. In the upstairs hall I
found Marie hammering a tee into
the floor, and with a kind smile
she told me not to worry she had
another ball.

Entering the nearest room to
see if I could find out the cause
for the general confusion I found
El Bear very much concerned
about her fountain pen. "It just
won't fill," she explained to me as
she plunged it into the ink and
pulled the pocket clip on it out
a fraction of an inch farther.

Across the room sat Tilly giv-
ing herself a good bawling out for
having missed her Math class that
morning. From her conversation
with herself I gathered that when
setting her alarm clock she had
pulled out the winding stem in-
stead of the alarm button and
the blamed old thing didn't even
go off!

Exam Ecstasy

Despairingly. I left for Lupton.

As I approached, I was startled
by a shriek behind me and turned
in time to see Nancy Parks run
by screaming, "I get through my
exams on Thursday, hallelujah!"
I went on in, not knowing whet-
her to break it to her that the
winter quarter's schedule was
still posted.

While I was debating the issue,
someone informed me that Hunt
was on switchboard and wanted
me to call her. After dialing zero
I was somewhat startled when a
very polite voice said, "I'm sorry
but apparently she isn't it. Would
you mind calling again later."

At Cunningham, I was ushered
out upon entering. It wasn't safe,
they explained to me, since Easy
hadn't gotten much sleep the
night before. I found out later
that Easy's lack of sleep was caus-
ed by the four hours she had to
take off of her regular six-hours
sleeping time for the taking off
and putting on of her numerous
pins.

In Main I found the Dean's of-
fice in a puzzled state. It seemed
that one Mary Hays had signed
out for the summer holidays.

Giving up, I went to the din-
ning room for lunch w r here I found
Charlsie presiding graciously, but
I could not help noting the puzzl-
ed expressions on the faces of
many when they found no eating
implements out but knives.
Day Student Daffies

I understand from various cir-
culating reports that this general
confusion also existed among the
day students. It seems that Sully,

Campus Slips

Jenelle Spear stood sulyeying
the contemporary spectacle as
freshmen and sophomores at their
joint party engaged in a strenu-
out game of leap-frog. A particu-
larly buxom sophomore at the
back of the line invited her to
join the fun. Still Jenelle stood,
shaking her head and finally re-
plied, "I just can't get over that!"

The assignment was a paper de-
scribing imaginatively the feelings
of a Greek girl upon hearing the
Apostle/ Paul. "Be original. Put
yourself back into that Old Greek
World," Dr. Cumming advised.
However, he hardly expected the
originality that came from Leila
Walker, who put her paper back
into that Old Greek language.

Another pun-y funny slipped
from the mouth of Ann Sartain.
"I'm not sure I like it," fthe says
of her new feather-bob, "but 1
suppose it will grow on me."

Reese, and Dot Quillian turned up
with arms in slings and the third
holding a steak to her eye. Their
mumbled explanations had some-
thing to do with trying to get to
a telephone and Friday's chapel.

All of this need not alarm you
too much, however, because after
talking to members of the psy-
chology- department, I have found,
for your information, that this
is very normal under the circum-
stances. The only treatment sug-
gested is to smile understands g-
ly at them and pat them on the

Brown Leads
Cancer Talks

Chi Beta Phi's drive aiming at
making the campus "cancer con-
scious" raised a total of $16.29
toward cancer relief. Tina Hew-
son, chairman of the drive, an-
nounced that the emphasis of the
drive had not been financial but
rather to make the campus aware
of cancer as a disease and as a
disease that must be conquered.

A movie "Trator from Within,"
and a talk by Dr. R. L. Brown, of
the Winship Clinic and assistant
professor cf medicine at Emory
university, concluded the series of
programs which were part of the
cancer drive.

Dr. Brown explained the symp-
toms of cancer and discussed the
problem of being intelligently
aware of them. He told of the
cancer research and present met-
hods of treating it, illustrating
his talk with slides of the differ-
ent types of cancer. A discussion
period fallowed his talk.

Reporter Penetrates Secrecy
Of Opera Rehearsals In Vain

By Alary Alice McDonald

It was Monday afternoon and I
had to get in a story on Senior
Opera, one of the iron-clad cam-
pus secrets. Expert sleuthing
would be necessary, I realized, as
I crept over to Gaines to cracfr
the story.

A mumbled-jumble of murmur-
ing voices floated out to me on
spring-fevered air as I crawled
d:wn a side aisle of the chapel.
Finally reaching the stage and
being unobserved this far, I de-
cided on a daring and courageous
bit of action. Stealthily I strode
across the stage and parted the
curtain. But wait, could it be pos-
sible? No, not here at Agnes
Scott! I rubbed my eyes and took
another look. Yes, it was here.!

A scene of confusion greeted
my bewildered eyes, but out of
the chaos which seemed to be
reigning I spied Myrtice Mariani,
Lee Brewer, and Mary Gene Sims
in one dance ensemble; in another,
Nancy Deal, Mary Manly, and
Pagie Violette. Virginia Henry
appeared, but before I could see

how she wa s dressed I had to
scurry for a hiding place as a
uniformed (in black cap and
gown) sentry passed by, brand-
ishing a tommy gun.

Later the same afternoon and
still trying for a sccop, I staged
a daring return. Once more peep-
ing through the curtain I noticed
that the set had been changed
and this one was even more spec-
tacular than the first. Applying
all my reasoning power I came
to an astounding conclusion
there were going to be two sets.

Nan Nettles bounded onto the
stage with a baton in hand and a
stack of music some four feet
high. I wondered what she had to
do with the orchestra. The sen-
try was coming again, but it was
too late. Caught in the act I
could do nothing but 'fess up.

The guard dragged me before
the Senior Opera Committee for
the Preservation of Secrecy. I
groaned; the chairman of that il-
lustricus committee was none
other than the honourable Betzie.

Poet Emphasizes
Fusion Of Ideas

By Floss Hanson

"The duel aim of a poet is first
to write poetry and second to put
into it the experiences of the
world in which he lives," stated
Stephen Spender in his talk Fri-
day night. Mr. Spender, noted
English poet brought here by the
English department lecture series,
talked on "A Modern Poet in a
M:dern World" Friday night and
on "The Individual's Responsibility
in The World Today" Saturday
morning.

Crisis In Poetry

Mr. Spender emphasized
throughout his lecture that these
two conflicting aims should be
fused and twisted into one mood.
He illustrated his points with the
poetry of Keats, Yeats, and Words-
worth. He also spoke of the crisis
that arose when reality broke in-
to the poetic world which satisfied
human needs in a realm of ideal
beauty. "Slums, war, philosophical
ideas are a challenge to the po-
etic world. It must therefore be
enlarged to take in these things."

"Poetry is a branch of our
spiritual life" he continued and
immediately followed with the
question "Does our spiritual life
have sufficient strength to stand
reality?" In answer Mr. Spender
stated a poet must either create
poetry of spiritual strength to re-
ject the modern world or expand
his poetry to include the preoc-
cupations of the modern world.
A Poet's Objective

In conclusion Spender emphasiz-
ed the poet's objective is to present
a universal picture, to transform
the particular into the universal.
"A poet must take the problems
of his time the way they are pre-
sented to him and transform them
into the poetry of his time. If he
is able to imagine his thoughts
clearly he can therefore deal with
them and put them into the ex-
periences of the whole world."

In his lecture Saturday morning
Mr. Spender brought out the fact
that the world today is at the
mercy of human nature in its
most uninhibited and unrepressed
forms, our only hope of survival
being to change our will and the
will of the people. "The individual
today is more powerful now than
he has ever been before."

Out of the two alternatives civi-
lization will be destroyed or civi-

Play By Play

By Margaret Brewer

It may not be the most strenuous sport, but there is definitely
a skill to playing ping-pong with a square ball! Just ask the group
that attempted to do so in the recreation room last Thursday.
The crowd of confusion enthusiasts descended upon the quiet room
in Main, snatched paddles and balls with one swoop, and began a very
unorthodox game wth more pongs than pings, using two cracked and
thoroughly-deserving-retirement balls worn out from similar mis-
treatment.

Carmen Shaver started one malfoi'med ball rolling, if a previously
round ball paddled square can role, but somehow the contrary thing
missed the table entirely, and managed to lodge tself among the win-
dow drapes. The second serve was more promising it hit the table.
Pat Overton stood in open-mouthed amazement, letting the ball
thud out of sight. For a moment there was fear she had swallowed
it. Melda Burdsall was handicapped by a hole in her paddle. She
never failed to swing at the battered ball, but somehow the two
never came in contact, and the ball went saling by, somewhat un-
steadily, to come to rest behind the radiator. A fourth player merely
made like the bridge partner whose hand is turned up for the other
three to play from.

Several spectators became bored at this point, and directed their
attention to the radio beating out "Detour," or a reasonable fas-
cimile, in the best hill billy fashion. This rather crushed the ping
pongers. With the declaration that it was impossible to concentrate
properly with that music going on, they laid their tools to rest. But
in the minds of each was the question, "Does the Physical Educa-
tion department have a course in ping pong?"

More promising is the. news concerning the more sane sport par-
ticipants on campus. Miss Margery Lyon of the Physical Education
department has been invited by the American Red Cross to give
swimming instructions this summer either at Pine Mountain in Chip-
ley, Ga., or in Louisiana.

The William Tells of the archery class will hold their tournament
from May 7 to May 13.

Horses and riders will prance in the horse show schedule for May 8.

Mr. Spender took the latter and
discussed the problems of survival.
He spoke of a world g:vernment
in which all nations must surren-
der their sovereignty to some kind
of over-nation, a world govern-
ment for which the world's re-
sources must be pooled and some
nations must sacrifice their stand-
ards" of living to help other na-
tions. He pointed out in a start-
ling statement that our present
form of world government, the
United Nations, is merely a sham,
a debating place for nations who
have fought and intend to fight
again."

In closing Spender emphasized
the fact t v .at the individual must
do his part in accepting the re-
sponsibility to lead the world in-
to betterment.

I appealed the case, amid sobs
and pleas for mercy. After hours
of delibration the committeee
reached its decision.

The Powers came back in, re-
viewed my case, reminded me of
the seriousness of my case . . .
She had already told the public,
she told me with a warning smirk,
that the coming opera was to be
a take-off cn Puccini's "La
Boh erne" and would be fittingly
called "Four Sharps and a Flat."
That magnificent production
would feature outstanding celeb-
rities in the field of music (not
T. Dorsey, I was clued). It would
boast of the greatest number of
participants* in everything . . .
celebrities "from all walks of life"
a pun you don't get until you see-
the opera so comic ,that even your
dates would enjoy it.

She had told all this and I had
tried to uncover more. The gross-
ness of my actions made me shud-
der. Then she pronounced the ver-
dict: The Committee recommends
mercy . . and "Four Sharps and
a Flat."

Sophs Subdue Frosh55-20

A determined sophomore team volleyed their way to score
a 50-20 victory over the freshman eight Friday afternoon.

With Miss Wilburn observing atop her chair by the net,
and the officials readied for action, the freshman began a
promising game by scoring the first point in the first few
seconds of playing. But the sopho-

mores refused to stand for this,
and came back fighting as the
score proves. Jane Sharkey was
up to her old spikes again, and
Katherine Dickey really played
that center back position..

June Harris was in there vol-
leying for the freshmen with good
pick ups and strong pushes. Fred-
dy Hachtel skillfully returned
many of the sophomore serves.

Highlighting the game was the
large number of long volleys. At
times the ball seemed to forget
to hit the ground.

In the next court an enthusias-
tic junior team practiced diligent-
ly, and gave promise of offering
this week's winners stiff com-
petition next Friday.

The freshman lineup was De-
lores Middour, right back; Ann
Brocke, right forward; Punky
Chard, left center; Betty Wil-
liams, left forward; June Harris,
right center; Nancy Brown, left
back; Freddy Hachtel, back; and
Liz Pollard, center forward.

The lineup for the sophomores
included Barbara Lawson, right
back; Cathy Davis, right center;
Mary Ann Hachtel, right forward;
Jane Sharkey, forward; Mary
Louise Warlick, left center; Genii.
Paschal, lifet back; Katherinf
Dickey, center back.

lit W0 ^ o<'

With a fan-fare of chuckles we introduce a new member of the Nevvs
staff, Agonie Scott. A figment of Jo Heinz's imagination we bring her
from the campus as your roommate and mine, a spirit we all know,
just pure Agonie.

Extra Curricular Culture

There are some people who would like to take advantage of
opportunities that are offered them. It is a shame that these
people don't always have the chance to do this. And then,
there are some people who have the chance, but just don't
take advantage of it. It seems that these two groups should
change places.

Agnes Scott is a place where one would expect to find a
great number of cultural opportunities. Throughout the
school year we are invited to hear lecturers, see educational
movies, and visit art collections. But how many of us take
advantage of these opportunities that are laid before us?

When an auditorium is only half filled on the evening of
a distinguished lecturer's appearance, the fact is clear that
some people are missing out on an experience they will
never be offered again. When will we learn that college life
is not limited to the class room, but extends as far as a
person's intellectual curiosity and search for knowledge will
reach? D. M.

Soph Major Trials
Defect; Effect
Facing of Problem

By Annelle Cox

During the week of April 12-17,
when sophomores decided on their
major work, a problem of mo-
mentous importance to all Ag-
nes Scott students came into the
limelight again. This problem has
plagued girls since the erection of
Buttrick hall and seems fated to
vex them throughout eternity.
Phrased as simply as possible, the
question is this: How may a stu-
dent amuse herself while sitting
in a cramped position on the
dusty floor outside a professor's
office for two hours?

Anyone at all familiar with
conditions at Agnes Scott can
readily see the magnitude and
delicacy of such a many-sided pro-
blem. At the same time a girl
must abstain from awakening the
sleeping figures around her, avoid
annoying earnest teachers and dis-
tracted students actually engaged
in consultation, and, most impor-
tant of all, provide genuine en-
tertainment for herself. The tech-
nique for this is usually perfected
in April of the sophomore year.
Joyless Stress

The possibilities for recreation
on the second and third floors of
Buttrick are extremely limited.
The art exhibt attracts a few
artistic souls and those who can't
bear to sit on the floor another
minute. The water fountain en-
ables a student to ^get exercise
bending over it, as well as water.
The securing of water, however,
is an undertaking fraught with
danger. There is always the
chance that an exhausted person
will just keep on going down un-
til she is merely a crumpled heap
on the floor. Talking with friends
occupies a few minutes, of course.
This is not very satisfactory, us-
usally, because if their schedules
are not planned, they tend to be
morbid, and if their schedules are
prepared, they are unbearably
smug. On rare occasions girls find
their soul-mates in strangers who
wait with them throughout an af-
ternoon.

Leaving-Grieving

The most popular amusement in
Buttrick is a very simple one. A
girl places her back against the
rough, stimulating wall, stares in-
to space, and either reviews the
latest proposals for world feder-
ation or counts the dust particles
in the air exposed by a ray of sun-
light.

A wealth of activity awaits when
a student finally leaves the build-
ing. First, she must rearrange her
schedule since it probably dis-
mayed her major professor. Next,
she must acquire a new notebook
if she sat on hers while waiting.
The two hours weight has probab-
ly mangled it beyond all recogni-
tion. Or was she without a note-
book, there is her dress to be
cleaned of the dust of the flood.
Then her last problem is a mind
to be cleared of the troubled
memories of selecting a major.

Business Staff Adds Seven

The News added seven ad-get-
ters to its business staff, Mary
Aichel, business manager, an-
nounced this week.

Lindsay. Susan Gauger, Mary
Louise Warlick, Betty Rawls,

Art Exhibit Shows
Current Trends
In Expressionism

Jabberwacky

By Lee Cousar

Another campus triumph! At last the long visualized has
materialized, the long wished-for has appeared. As a college
we have just made our most important move since the build-
ing of the science hall. No more will eyes close over books
at 1 a. m. No more will we frantically dial for De. 1665 at
10:29 p. m. The day of visiting
friends with boxes frcm home has
passed. As a college community,
under the leadership of Kate Durr
Elmore, we rejoice together over
the latest and greatest move the
purchase of a coke machine.

Many people viewing our new
addition for the first time are most
impressed by the brain behind
the steel exterior. One person was
known to have bought four cokes
to make sure that she wasn't im-
agining it when she got back four
nickles and a coke after deposit-
ing a quarter. Her greatest shock,
however, was when her slug was
returned to her.

Jiving Juniors Convine

'Mid shrimp, steaks, and men
the junior class had their last
big fling together as the junior
class Saturday. Lovely springeven-
ing dresses' fillec trie dining hall
in fact, filled it so completely
that the dates felt somewhat like
little black and white wooden
penguins, shuffling instead of
walking. The general feeling
abroad after it was all over was
best expressed by the four juniors
who raised their right hands and
vowed not to pass a subject this
quarter with the aim of attend-
ing another Junior Banquet next
year.

Tactful Tactics

A recent classroom discussion
on communism prompted one of
our noted profs to ask a rather
startling question. The discussion
had continued some time empha-
sizing the similarity of the pos-
sessions of people under a com-
munistic regime, when, to illus-
trate his point, the professor turn-
ed to one of his students ( names
withheld by request) and asked:
"Now, Miss A, how would you
like to have to come out every
day looking like Miss B over
there?" At which, the class roar-
ed and Miss B quietly slunk away.

Concert Features
Religious Numbers

The Glee club with the assis-
tance of the Freshman choir pre-
sented their annual Spring Con-
cert last Saturday night in Pres-
ser auditorium, under the direc-
tion of Mrs. Rebekah Clarke, in-
structor in music.

The Glee club opened the pro-
gram with a group cf religious
songs, including "Praise We Sing
to Thee" by Haydn; "O "Bone
Jesu" and "Adoramus Te" by
Palestrina, "E m i t t e Spiritum
Tuum" by Scheutky, and "List
the Cherubic Host" from "The
Holy City" by Gaul. On the last
number William Calder, profes-
sor of physics, accompained the
Glee club on the harp and Peter
Harrower, of Georgia Tech, sang
the baritone solo.

The Freshman choir continued
the program with a group of re-
ligious, folk, and modern songs.
This group consisted of "Lift
Thine Eyes" from "Elijah" by
Mendelssohn, "O Rest in the Lord"
also from "Elijah," "How Beauti-
ful Are the Feet" from the "Mes-
siah" by Handel, "In These De-
lightful Pleasant Groves," by
Purcell, "Water Ripple and Flow"
by Taylcr, and "Charlottown" by
Bryan.

By Cama Clarkson

Thrilling, confusing, familiar,
alien according to the specta-
tor is the exhibit of water colors
and gouaches now in 321 Butt-
rick. Including representatives of
the new movements in artistic
work of expressionists, with their
distortion of recognizable forms,
of cubists, who dissect natural
forms in order to re-shape them
into a new reality, and of ab-
stractionists, whose symbols must
be accepted open-mindedly by tr
spectator in order to convey their
suggestions.

Among the romantic expres-
sionists with a purpose of enjoy-
ment or a deeper desire to ex-
press some strong sentiment are
Dwight Marfield, whose adept use
of the bamboo brush has pictured
whimsical animals moving about
in a dreamy world vaguely akin
to reality; Claire Mahl, who paint-
ted an oppressive New York City
with its crowded designs of greys
and browns; and Ben-Zion, who
expressed quite openly his hor-
ror at the Nazi atrocities inflict-
ed upon the dignity of the Jewish
race.

Interested more by design and
composition, art for art's sake,
are Carreno, Rosenborg, Bearden,
and Baziotes, whose paintings
show a world remodeled by the
artists' ideas of form and color.

Adolph G:ttlieb and Attilio Sa-
lemme must be mentioned apart
from the other artists in this
group. Gottlieb is leading an
American school of art that ap-
peals to the spectator through
symbols, archeological in his "Il-
luminated Crypt", supposedly de-
riving from the artist's uncon-
scious and speaking to the same
in the spectator. Salemme grap-
ples with a problem: "the delemna
of isolated forms, apparently free,
yet held fast by the tension be-
tween them and the confines of
a rigidly demarcated space." As
his titles indicate, Salemme, fur-
ther, deals with the drama of hu-
man life.

Including romanticism, expres-
sionism, cubism, and abstraction-
ism, this exhibit is widely repre-
sentative of current movements
among young artists of the United
States.

The Glee club concluded with
a group of lighter songs. The
works in this section were "Now
is the Month of Maying" by Mor-
lcy, "The Rain Falls on My
Heart" by Debussy, "Russian
Picnic" by Enders and "Moun-
tains" by Rasbach. As an encore
the ^lee club sang 'Take Joy
Home" and a special arrangement
of "Three Blind Mice."

Peter Harrower. the guest so-
loist, sang a group of familiar mel-
odies, "Caro Mio Ben", by Giro-
dani, and "None But the Lonely
Heart." For an encore he sang
"I Got Plenty of Nothing."

Alice Crenshaw and Joann
Wood were piano accompanists
for the performance.

Rejuvenated Inman Hall
To Greet Class of '52

After a summer spent in re-wiring, re-flooring, re-painting,
and general re-vamping, a re-juvenated Inman hall will greet
the class of '52 in September.

Dr. J. R. McCain, president, verified rumors that Inman
is scheduled for a beauty treatment when he announced this
week that the interior of the

freshman dormitory will undergo
a 60,000 dollar renovation, in-
cluding tile baths, hardwood
floors, and sound absorbing ceil-
ings.

The administration has engaged
seven contractors to begin work
the day school closes on the wir-
ing, lighting, and plumbing. They
will install additional baths, show-
ers, and a reception room for the
faculty resident giving her an a-
partment of a bedroom, living
room and bath. Both halls and
rooms will get new coats of paint
in an attempt to lighten the gen-
eral atmosphere. If paint is avail-
able the bedrooms will be tinted.

Funds for this re-modeling are
furnished from the money raised
in the 1940-44 campaign. The ac-
tual work planned at that time
was interrupted by the war.

Arrangement of rocms will not
change and the freshmen of next
year will use the same furniture
that is in the building at present.
Proposed changes will take away
the space of about 8 girls, limiting
Inman's capacity to about 92 in-

stead of the 100 it now holds.

Plans for renovating Rebekah
are in the offing, Dr. McCain said,
but Rebekah must wait until the
Inman project is complete.

The Cotillion club party, last

evening Cottillion member and
their dates met at Pleasant Hill
to usher in the summer season
with soft ball, picnic ^ supper,
square dancing, and group sing-

The boys, with the assistance
of Paul Garber, set the stage at
the beginning of the function by
playing soft ball. Several home-
runs rolled in as the girls cheered
the players on from the sidelines.
The girls then spread the picnic
suppers which they had brought
and everybody enjoyed cold chick-
en, potato salad, sandwiches,
doughnuts, and cokes.

Popular dancing was in order
inside the Pleasant Hill Barn un
til callers came and led the group
in square dancing. Dressed in
colorful folk costumes, the cou-
ple demonstrated and called six
square dances. As an intermission
Cotillion members and t' eir dates

High fashion made its debut on
the college campus this week at
the fashion show sponsored by
the Silhouette Tea House during
the Tuesday afternoon tea hour.

An attractive menu featuring
the "Silhouette", plus a back-
ground of soft music, appropriate-
ly contributed to the occasion.
Suspense and anticipation, created
by the special feature of award-
ing corsages to girls who drew the
lucky numbers, lent festivity to
the scene.

Highlighting the affair was the
fashion show itself. Miss DeJar-
nette of Regenstein's, who super-
vised the show, commented on the
costumes as, the models descended
the stairway, paraded through the
dining rcom, and made a final
turn around the tea room.

New detail, new use oi fabrics,
and a new touch of the exotic
marked these costumes as origi-
nals. The pretty look definitely
overshadowed the much discus-
sed "new look." The classic white
two-piece dasher, modeled by Jo
Combs was acclaimed to be a fa-
vorite by many students. Those
who preferred sophistocation ad-
mired the blue lace frock modeled
by Mrs. Tom Moskal. Margaret
Brewer introduced two unusual,
but very attractive outfits.

Miss Priscilla Lobeck, instruc-
tor in art, and Mrs. Dudley Fort,
who donated the flowers, assisted
Miss Betty Hayes, supervisor of
the Tea HQUse, in producing the
show. Miss Hayes in the future
plans similar periodic events at
which students may entertain
their friends.

square for all members.

Chaperoning the event were
Miss Llewellyn Wilburn, professor
of physicial education; Miss Pri-
cilla Lobeck, instructor in art;
and Mr. and Mrs. Paul Garber.

Play By Play

By Margaret Brewer

It is always gratifying to hear some reader's comment on the sports'
column, even if it is a complaint, because it shows at least one person
appreciates good literature. Ahem! (The "Chief" will probably strike
out this lead as advertising matter.) Anyway, after a diligent search
through the files of "How to play ping pong and survive," here is
an answer to that crankpot who insinuated that "All people who play
ping pong the way you described last week are morons."

According to research data there are three ways to play ping pong
the normal, abnormal, and subnormal or, the right way, the wrong
way, and the way the fumbling four did last week.

The normal way is to station two sane players directly across the
table from each other with a round ball, holeless paddle and strong
net. After pinging for first serve, the pingers calmly swat the ball
back and forth until their arm gives way, or a gremlin joins the game.
This is the style for the quiet, no strain-no pain sportswomen.

Something with a little more "wim, wigor and witality" is the second
method. For this you add two more players and paddles, and aim for
your opponent diagonally across from you, whereupon she sends it
back to the partner opposite her, who starts the vicious square again.
For variety, add another ball and you get bedlam or a sore neck.

But the most fascinating way of all is the one under the heading
of "subnormal." One ball, one sturdy table, two paddles, and an un-
limited number of subnorms are all that is needed. The proper posi-
tion requires that one player take one side while all the others, the
more the better, line up on the opposite side of the table. At exactly
the right moment the leader in line serves, drops the paddle and races
around one side of the table to take the place of the single player who,
by this time has returned the ball and run around the other side to
the end of the line. Each person in lines moves up to hit the ball once
at a time. This keeps up until the players, or the table falls down. Of
course, this explanation is about as clear as the method itself. If the
complainant wishes a demonstration, we of the News Staff will be only
too glad to comply, as we aim to please!

Jabberwacky

By Lee Cousar

Twas a gorgeous sunny day, and I, with visions of a lus-
cious golden tan floating through my head, struck out for
an hour on the "beach", laden with pillow, blanket, baby oil,
and dark glasses. After rolling a few bodies to the right and
left I finally secured a nice sunny spot in which to luxuriate.

Plopping down, I prepared to

absorb the sun. Hardly had my
eyes squinted together before I
was politely asked to move just
a little since my left foot was in-
truding on a bridge game.

I moved, and again turned my
face skyward. Hours passed dur-
ing which I felt myself being slow-
ly dehydrated. Feeling sure that
after all this agony I must have
a tan equivalent to that of Pagie
or Ann Carol, I asked a beet-re-
sembling neighbor for the time,
only to find the "hours" that I
had passed totaled twenty-five
minutes.

Solution Slaughtered

Then a solution offered itself.
Maybe the time would pass more
quickly if I were asleep! I found
that the suggested solution was
idealistic, however, without the
cooperation of the switchboard,
for at three-minute intervals
shrieking gals leapt over my head
en route to the phones in White
House and Inman.

After forty-five minutes spent
in this delightful manner I was
struck by a startling thought. This
was my first day in the sun!
Hence, it was certainly danger-
ous for me to stay longer! So,
trailing my blanket behind me I
returned home.

The greatest encouragement to
my efforts come, however, the next
day when I appeared in my glor-
ious new shade only to have a
well-meaning friend suggest that I

go out in the sun some day.
Sly Student

Hidden talents were really un-
covered en masse in the Psych
classes last week. Of course, there
were those who, you might say,
out-foxed the tests. For example,
one of the intelligentsia figured
out which group of questions
showed house-wifely adeptness
and promptly checked dish-wash-
ing and floor-waxing as her fav-
orite hobbies giving her a grade
of "A" on "home-managing tend-
encies."

Dr. Mims Discusses
Mind's Treasures

"Life is a building up of treas-
ures in the mind," Dr. Edwin
Mims, professor emeritus of Eng-
lish at Vanderbilt college, stated
in chapel Thursday. Dr. Mims
came to campus as a special lec-
turer representing the Associa-
tion of American colleges and the
United Chapter of Phi Beta Kap-
pa.

Dr. Mims emphasized that a
good education includes a well
trained mind which has developed
the power of concentration and
memory. He also added that a
well educated mind must possess
a developed imagination and an
appreciation of beauty.

Beauty, Ambition, Versatility
Add Up To Marybeth Little

By Mary Alice McDonald

The way a May Queen looks as she glides across the dell
here at Agnes Scott is as much a tradition as Black Cat stunt
night or Junior Joint. This year Agnes Scott students can be
especially proud of their May Queen, for she is Marybeth
Little, whose name is synonymous with beauty, ambition, in-
telligence, and versatility.

Not too many years ago Mary-
beth was a little girl, growing up
in Wichita Falls, Texas, as other
little girls have a tendency to do
tagging along with her doctor-
father while he called on patients,
wearing her first evening dress,
going to her first dance, and fin-
ally graduating from high school.
These were years filled with sights
to see sights which caught her
imagination and turned her pen
to poetry.

In the summer after her grad-
uation from high school Mary-
beth's first book of poetry, Silk
from a Spool, was published. But
this was only a beginning for the
young Texan. Her four years of
college have been full of activity,
both here at Agnes Scott and
"out in the wide, wide world."

At Agnes Scott her accomplish-
ments in the fields of leadership,
scholarship, and service have tap-
ped her into Mortar Board mem-
bership, our campus's highest hon-
or. And, in addition, she has a
beauty which has spotlighted May
Courts and Silhouettes since her
coming to Agnes Scott, and musi-
cal talent that brought a tremen-
dous ovation for her performance
in Glee club's recent production
of "The Mikado."

During her senior year Mary-
beth has presided over Lecture as-
sociation and has been poetry edi-
tor of Aurora, editorial assistant

of the Agnes Scott News, soprano
soloist for Glee club and Special
chorus, a member of B.O.Z., crea-
tive writing club, of Poetry club,
and of Cotillion club.

After having served on the Col-
lege board of Mademoiselle during
her junior year of college, Mary-
beth was a guest editor of that
publication last summer. This
year she has accepted a position on
Vogfiie's magazine staff.

A few weeks ago a full-page pic-
ture of Agnes Scott's most talent-
ed daughter appeared in the
Southern Coach and Athlete which
named her as the outstanding Co-
ed of the Month.

Agnes Scott students are cur-
rently inquiring in local book-
stores for copies of Marybeth's
new volume of poetry, Underside
of Leaves, which came off of the
press this month and is dedicated
to her sister, Norah Anne, and her
Agnes Scott friends.

But Saturday will be Mary-
beth's Day. After reigning over
the May Court she will change cos-
tumes for her starring role in
the Senior opera, "Four Sharps
and a Flat."

Marybeth Little has it in the
words of the song she taught the
student body this year "that
Southern charm i deals plus
brains and appeal and, um-um,
personality!"

Student President
Outlines Program

Nancy Parks, Student govern-
ment president, stressed the im-
portance of making suggestions to
Student government at a meeting
Thursday. She mentioned several
suggestions already made by Ag-
nes Scott students, and told of
ideas presented by delegates at
the Student government conven-
tion at Tallahassee.

Student government wants sug-
gestions and has provided a sug-
gestion box for them in the mail
room; however all suggestions
must be made properly, sne stat-
ed. Nancy emphasized that no
suggestions would be considered
unless they have been signed.

At present Student government
is considering how to eliminate
the long registration lines in the
fall. Also under discussion is the
possibility of doing away with all-
night lights for freshmen in Sep-
tember. In past years freshmen
have been allowed to have all-
night lights during the first week,
but it has been suggested that
lights be limited during this per-
iod in order that freshmen will
not become weary before the
work begins. Nancy also said that
several have suggested that smok-
ing be permitted on the campus.

Nancy discussed new ideas pre-
sented by other Student govern-
ments at Florida State university.
One delegate stated that a hall
council was organized at her col-
lege to provide for better regula-
tion of quiet hours in the dormi-
tories. The Hall council first
warned students who were mak-
ing unnecessary noise. If the stu-
dent continued to disturb others,
she was campused. Radios were
taken away from students who in-
sisted on playing them loudly.

Another delegate thought it ad-
vantageous to have one or more
faculty members in charge of the
point system. At Agnes Scott this
is the job of the student recorder.

Delegates from Agnes Scott,
Sister Davis and Nancy Parks,
learned that in the big colleges
and universities sororities play a
prominent part in campus activi-
ties, at some schools conducting
the Student government elections.

Nancy said that delegates at
the convention were impressed
with the success of Agnes Scott's
cut system, honor system, and
Mortar Board.

Gripe But Write

We're asking for trouble. Like Student government and C.
A. the News requests criticisms, suggestions, and above all
letters to the editor. We print compliments, too.

This paper is yours and you have a gripe-right against it or
through it. Most new orders want a period of grace before
criticitis sets in. We want it now before you, the typewriters
or the printers get set in their ways.

Student government suggestion box this week brought in
77 suggestions showing 17 varied views, and the box stands
in the mail room waiting for more. C. A. handed out ques-
tionnaires yesterday for answers not scrap paper. Tomorrow
Mortar Board holds a compulsory chapel to ge student opin-
ions on chapel cuts. Our Gripe-Right head awaits a column
to top.

We challenge you to verbal action before Sunday's dead-
line. Call your bull sessions, fill your pens, fuss, fume, flat-
ter but write.

Emory Man Views May Day;
Retreats To Realm of Realty

By Rex Sheppard

As I drove across the railroad
tracks and headed for that school
of higher learning affectionately
known as "Miss Agnes", I had a
strange sensation of expectancy.

For years now, I had heard of
these May Day celebrations but
through some unforgivable over-
sight on my part. I had never ac-
quainted myself with the proceed-
ings which take place at this an-
nual event. Or, to be more spe-
cific, I didn't know a doggone
thing about the whole shebang.

I drove up the drive very care-
fully only to come face to face
with a cop uh I mean a police-
man. He was kind enough to di-
rect me to a parking place only
two miles from the campus, and

after receiving a few curt words
from my date I was hurried off
to the amphitheatre.

My first surprise was the size
of the crowd. Now I began to
feel even more ignorant. Here
were several hundred people who
had come to witness this affair
and I didn't know what was tak-
ing place. I hurried to my seat
and immediately began looking
for the man selling pillows but
after several more uncomplimen-
tary remarks from my "date", I
sat down peacefully. This was go-
ing to be a hard day in at least
one respect.

As the show started, I dropped
into a long period of deep con-
centration. Someone was giving a
play by play account of the pro-
ceedings over the P. A. system

but that only added to my con-
fusion. The first thing that caught
my attention was the "person"
(man or woman, I'll never know)
playing pocket pool on the lawn
with a sledge hammer. I was told
that this "person" was supposed
to portray insanity and I must ad-
mit that it was one of the finest
pieces of action I have ever seen.

As the show continued, I be-
gan to see where they got the
idea for the calendar girl. Broth-
er here they had a girl for ever
hour in the year. At this point ,1
was interrupted by the sound of
a radio. Some uncouth of the day,
was listening to the Kentucky
Derby. I gave him a stern look
and moved away. I was a bit wor-
ried, though, about Citation in the
back stretch.

The show continued. There were
the ice fairies wearing dresses that
were a bit, shall we say, quaint.

Seniorpolitaris Prima Donnas
Draw Outburst of Applause

By Gretchen Beinartz

Saturday was a memorable day
from the first sun beam at dawn,
to the last curtain call at the
Soniorpolitan Opera House. Beau-
ties and cuties danced in the dell
till evening when Beauty changed
costumes and Talent took the
lead. Those of us who "came on
in", found that the opera really
was fine.

The Four Sharps were perfectly
cast and the Flat, too, looked con-
vincingly reaL The plot, adver-
tised as a take-off on "La Bo-
heme", sounded suspiciously like
4 'My Sister Eileen" down here at
Agnes Scott, except for the music
which added an operatic tone to
the production. Frequent out-
bursts of glee from the direction
of the audience were proof posi-
tive that the actors were giving
the clever lines the expression they
deserved. And last but not least,
the costumes, especially of the
animated members of the cast, the
pink elephants and purple os-
triches rated their own round of
applause.

The entire audience howled
with delight over the music of
Hot-lips Posey and his Two
Shrieking Violets, Daddy McCain
and Down Beat Hunter. The

Ensemble's contribution to the
Senior Opera was good Sports-
manship personified. In that same
act, Virginia Henry's gleaming
dance in the pitch dark caused
quite a sensation, climaxing the
act very well.

Just as a variety of spices make
a good cake, they add to the plot
of a play. Spice in "Four Sharps
and A Flat" was afforded by the
plumbers and their plunge rou-
tine, Lou McLaurin's rendition of
the little man in the next room,
Ruth Richardson's traditional
"Louella", and Harriet Reid's cap-
tivating wit. Then, too, there
were the suave, romantic Mr. Wil-
liams in the person of Doc Dunn,
Rosemary Griffin, the lofty fiddler,
and the incomparable Marybeth.

Play By Play

Beware! There's a "disease" on campus that has reached epidemic
proportions. It is extremely "catchable," and has the most horrible
during-and-after affects. People suffering from IT are affected dif-
ferent ways. For some IT pushes the head forward about two or
three inches out of alignment with the spine giving a turtle-like ap-
pearance to its victim. Others become hump shouldered, and con-
sumptive chested with the spine curved forward at the waistline as if
the person were carrying home an arm load of books piled upon her
by an unsympathetic teacher.

Then there's what might be called "Lopsided Lucy." She's the one
who carries books on one hip, causing that side to be smaller and
lower than the other. Take the books away and what have you got?
A freak!

And then there's the unfortunate victim whose abdomen abandons
her for the wide open spaces. She's the type who has the "New Look"
turned around.

Of course, it's possible for one poor sufferer to have ALL these
symptoms after a particularly severe attack of IT. Everyone is sus-
ceptible to this scourge of humanity. Even YOU may be in its dread-
ful grip at this moment, and haven't realized it. Your best friends
your worst friends may have IT.

Some victims are aware of the change that has come over them.
You may have heard complaints of having that "Senior Slouch,"
"Junior Disjoints," "Sophomore Slump", or "Freshman Fall." But
the scientific name is BAD-POSTURE-ITIS!

There's only one known cure will power. The will power to hold
that tummy in, tuck those hips under, pull that chin in and shoulders
back.

Using that will power, imagine that your head is supporting a bas-
ket of clothes in best primitive-woman fashion. This will help you
achieve balance. Next, place the feet a few inches apart with toes
straight ahead, knees relaxed, abdominal muscles in, chest up, neck
rubbing the back of your collar. In other words "ATTENTION."

Now DON'T get discouraged nobody can do all this the first time.

Pardon me I must go take my second treatment for you guessed
it BAD POSTURE-ITIS!

Sports Scope

On the sport's front the Nation-
al Telegraphic Archery tourna-
ment combined with the school's
tournament is scheduled for May
7-13. All those who know how to
shoot are invited to participate.

Golf tournament finals are be
ing played this week by Jane
Sharkey and Marie Cuthbertson.

Are You a Victim
Of Bad-Posture-ltis

She may have poise and "per-
sonality", but does that Agnes
Scott girl have the third ingre-
dient good posture?

The Physical education depart-
ment, A. A., Social Standards and
Cotillion club are sponsoring a
back-to-better-posture movement
from now on.

Take a look in the mirror plac-
ed in Buttrick. Do you like what
ycu see? Probably not and nei-
ther does anyone else. Nothing is
so depressing as an utterly de-
jected frame, and the worse part
of it is that its just like stutter-
ing or whispering stay around a
stutterer or whisperer long
enough and you'll be doing the
same thing. But this power of sug-
gestion can be put to good use.
Observe the girl with good pos-
ture, use a little will power and
before long "BAD-POSTURE-
ITIS will vanish.

Some students who have al-
ready banished the "slump" are
Easy Beale, Genie Paschal, and
Charlsie Smith noticed on the
Volley ball court. Susan Bowling
and Todd McCain displayed beau-
tiful posture in the riding ring
last week. Golferettes Julianne
Cook and Jeanne Kline's grace-
ful movements chased BAD-POS-
TURE-ITIS away. Emily Wright's
pleasing carriage was noticed in
diving class. Martha William-
son's erectness stands out in rec-
reational leadership meetings.
Like truly Christian soldiers Pol-
ly Miles, Mary Louise Warlick
and Reese Newton walk unbend-
ingly toward chapel. Seniors minus
the "slouch" are Pagie Violette,
Lee Brewer, Harriet Gregory and
Mary Manly.

In Swimming Exhibit

With a front dive, jack, back
jack and back dive performed by
Cookie Miller, the swimming
and diving exhibition for High
School Day got underway before
a packed-to-capacity crowd Satur-
day afternoon.

Molly Milam executed a series
of graceful dives including the
swan, back pike, pike half gainer
and forward somersault.

Zollie Saxon followed with a
front dive, swan and jack half
twist.

Participants in the water bal-
let were Charlotte Key, Frances
Hale, Pat Hampton, Charlotte
Evans, Barbara Evans, Barbara
Lawson, and Zollie Saxon.

Another feature was the comic
team composed of June Davis and
Kate Elmore, who performed with
their coach, Jessie Hodges. The
dives of June and Kate showed a
new form which the other divers
had not been able of wanted
to achieve. While Jessie coached
from the edge of the pool her
"talented" team presented what
it called a "Water Ballet" while
reading water-soaked funny pap-
ers.

Frosh Yield 50-15
To Determined Jrs.

It looked like the freshmen
might win the volley ball game
Friday when Dolores Middour
served a beautiful ball that scored
first point, but the juniors charg-
ed in to win by 35 points the
final score being 50-15.

The players seemed to have
spring fever. The game was not
its usual get-up-and-go self. Bun-
ny Brannan was high scorer for#
the juniors with a total of 14
points. Hunt Morris was runner-
up with six points.

Dolores Middour scored five,
points for the freshman eight.

The junior lineup was Julianne
Qook, Betty Blackman, Bunny
Brannan, Irene McLeod, Charlsie
Smith, Bobbie Cathcart, Hunt
Morris and June Davis.

The freshman lineup included
Dolores Middour, Nancy Lou Hud-
son. Nancy Brown, Liza Pollard,
Punky Chard, Sara Samonds,
Petie Cruze and Freddie Hachtel.

structor, and Harriet Lurton, rid-
ing manager and Riding club pres-
ident, announced that the show
will include competition in horse-
manship for the beginner, inter-
mediate, and advanced groups.

Chapel Slips

A problem which has silently grown for the last few quar-
ters has finally "busted out all over". The problem the drop
in chapel attendance.

The administration gave Agnes Scott students another
adult responsibility when chapel attendance was made volun-
tary but it took on itself perhaps an even greater one. It
made the chapel situation one like all others which involve
free choice and selection, where the student is allowed to
look over what is being offered her and on the basis of what
4 she finds make her own selection. The activity of her choice
can then be considered the one she has honestly deemed most
worthy of her time, more so than if there is no choice in-
volved only a compulsory ruling.

The argument that students perhaps do not know what is
best for them seems inconsistant in this case, for chapel pro-
grams during religious emphasis week, outside speakers who
are kngwn to be worthwhile, special student meetings, or
class participation programs, draw numbers of even the most
"disinterested" students. It is more logical to say that the
Agnes Scott student is overly discriminating in her tastes.

It seems therefore that the fault is not wholly with the
chapel goer. If the student could expect that each time she
attended a chapel program a worthwhile and interesting pro-
gram would be offered to her rather than an on-again off-
again schedule, regularity of attendance would be encour-
aged.

If there are only ample resources for as few as 3 meetings a
week then this number ought to be the rule.

Compulsory chapel attendance is a sure bet for full chapel
seats but never for full chapel interest.

Kitchen Clean-up

"Is this your lipstick?"

This is one of the cracks heard on sitting down to any meal
at Agnes Scott. None of us enjoy drinking out of a glass with
lipsticked edges or eating with a smudged and unclean fork.

While a humorous crack on this score has livened up many
an otherwise dull table conversation we are not highly in
favor of our two-toned glasses, and polishing silverware can
not be called our favorite pastime.

We all like visitors at mealtime but it's very embarrassing
to have to ask them to wipe off their utensils. We'd much
rather be able to smile indugently at such an action from a
guest. Let's make this possible by having a kitchen clean-up.

F.H.

Spiked Points

We're in favor of spiking rumors and we appreciate it when
the administration supplies us with sharp and accurate points
for ammunition.

A Tech student broke into Inman last week and before 8:30
classes began as many versions as there were students telling
the tale were circulating around campus. Friday the Atlanta
papers picked up the story and each reader coined his own
version and passed it on as non-counterfeit.

Friday afternoon Miss Scandrett called a meeting of the
entire student body and explained what actually happened.
We now know the facts and we have the best answer for wor-
ried mothers, curiosity seekers and the "Um-what-weVe-
been-hearing" characters, the straight story.

We are proud to have an administration with such a straight
forward policy.

From September to the end of

Was the time here well spent?

An Outgoing Carpool

Corresponding secretary

Campus Slips

News staff members are still
smiling over an incident that be-
fell assistant editor Hanson. Jean-
clad Flcss was dashing wildly
from the News room to answer
the downstairs Murphy Candler
telephone when a CA cabinet
member, failing to notice the ab-
sence of white dress, thrust a
candle into her hands and thrust
Floss into the installation service
for new CA council members.

Her French classmates were
amazed at Jeanne Kline's skill;
she was breezing along in trans-
lation. Then came the crux. Jean-
ne paused for a moment over the
word "pensee" (which for the
benefit of Spanish students
means "pansy"), thought to her-
self, "That must come from the
verb 'penser' (to think)," and
read glibly on about the man who
planted a garden of thoughts.

Charlotte Bartlette, passing
through the Dean's Office from
an exec meeting Monday night,
approached the hostess desk where
sat one feature editor, frantically
asking all standers-by for Campus
Slips. The latter breathed a sigh
of relief, and remarked to a sym-
pathetic onlooker, "Thank Good-
ness! Here comes Charlotte. She'll
know something for my column."
It was amazing! Charlotte threw
an envelope down onto the desk,
and, sure enough, bold letters on
it said "Campus Slips." The en-
velope was snatched up and al-
most ripped open before a start-
led Charlotte finally requested
that the little package be put in
local mail for Tuesday morning.

Jabberwacky

By Lee Cousar

High school students found college life very interesting or,
perhaps, startling during their Saturday visit. Some of
those who were visiting friends on campus arrived early
enough to attend some classes fortunate souls! And if they
took advantage of this golden opportunity they may have had
the good fortune to hear a lecture

on the sociological significance of
"The Early Worm", which lecture,
we understand, had a very broad-
ening effect in that it also con-
tained some excellent advice on
music appreciation.

Mystery of the Seats

All of these visitors did not at-
tend classes, however some pre-
ferring to observe them the pane,
or painless, way but many of
them did go to chapel. Here a
sense of eagerness and expec-
tancy prevailed among the visitors
as they waited to see why the first
ten rows of seats were reserved
and for whom. Rumors galore
flew suggesting answers to the
question. Some insisted that the
faculty marched into chapel each
day; others thought a senior pro-
cessional was in order, and still
others were sure that those seats
were saved for the engaged stu-
dents. Disappointment was regis-
tered on innumerable faces when
the service ended and the seats
still remained vacant.

Traditional Track Meet

Those who attended twelve-to-
one classes had an experience
which somewhat unnerved them
for, as the bell clanged the hour,
they were rudely jerked from
their seats by their hostesses and,
with hands clutching their arms,
they were flung down a flight of
stairs, hurled through a lobby,
and once in the open air found
themselves contestants in a track
race to beat all time records in
history. The most puzzling thing
about all this was the question

Bible Study Group
Offers Movie, Talk

Miss Mildred Snider, assistant
to Rev. Jack B. McMichael and
head of the Executive Committee
of Religious Education for The
Synod of Ga., will be the speaker
for the Bible study group Monday,
May 10, from 3 to 5 p.m. o'clock
in the art lecture room.

Miss Snider's lecture will be of
special value to all who are inter-
ested in teaching in Vacation Bible
schools.

A presentation of moving pic-
tures related to the subject will
acompany the lecture. 1

Members to Fete
Past Mortar Board

The new members of Mortar
Board will entertain for the '47-
'48 chapter and their sponsors at
a weiner roast on Wednesday, May
12, at Harrison Hut. The plan was
initiated by the Mortar Board
members last year and will be
continued as an annual event.

Blue jeans are in order for the
occasion which will be very in-
formal. Butch Hays is in charge of
the entertainment consisting of
group singing and games.

The sponsors for the '47-'48
chapter are Miss Emma Mae
Laney, associate professor of Eng-
lish, and W. B. Posey, professor
of history, both of whom served
last year, and Miss Muriel Ham,
professor of Spanish and German,
who is replacing Miss Mary
Stuart MacDougall, professor of
biology.

of the purpose behind the mad
rush. It was finally concluded
that the lunch menu must change
a certain number of minutes after
the hour, and that these shrieking
tracksters must be trying to meet
the deadline.

In the dining room at last, a
spasm of pity crossed the faces of
many of the visiting students. For
before them they beheld deluded
creatures who, thinking them-
selves still in the classrooms, sat
with their hands waving wildly
in the air during half of the meal.
Chained Chairs
A tour of the various campus
buildings after lunch proved very
impressive for the most part. One
student was especialy awed by the
fact that the chairs were locked
to the tables in the library until,
upon exerting a little more effort,
she loosed the chair, and the feet
of the absorbed student across the
table dropped to the floor.

More impressive, however, than
the buildings, classes, meals, or
students, upon our Saturday visi-
tors was the scene that presented
itself to them on the first floor
of Main at 4:45 Saturday after-
noon. On viewing the quantity of
visiting men, the supreme com-
pliment was payed by one visitor
who sighed, "Honest, this looks
even better than high school!"

May Day Review

(Continued from Page 1)

There was Charlotte Bartlett as
the sun. There was Nancy Brown
as rain. There were Dolores Mar-
tin and Celia Spiro as the winds,
and there were the snow fairies.
Pneumonia was setting in fast.

I still did not understand the
story entirely and I tried asking
several of "Miss Agnes's" girls
to help me, but I always got the
same answer "Well, it's very
simple uh you see uh well,
just wait and I'll explain it later."
Later they were gone.

The show continued. There was
dancing, dancing and more danc-
ing. I would not begin to describe
it but maybe I can say it this
way. It was sort of a cross be-
tween a ballet and a conga. Now
this is my own personal opinion
and does not in any way express
the views of this newspaper.

Finally came the main event of
the day. A Greek goddess in the
person of Marybeth Little came
forward to be crowned as queen.
Some little girl hopped out with
the crown and hopped back. I
think maybe she had been hang-
ing around that "mad man" a lit-
tle too much. The Queen was
wearing a dress that was a bit
"full" but that girl would look
good in a suit of armor.

The Grand March recessional
was then formed and the cast
shoved past my goggled-eyes to
the rear of the theatre.

As I walked away I was cer-
tain that I had never seen so
many beautiful girls together in
one spot. No one could deny that
the players were beautiful, the
dancing was graceful and the set-
ting was perfect. Everything was
combined to make it a perfect
May Day for "Miss Agnes."

In fact, everything would have
been great, except for one thing.
I still don't get the point.

Drive Raises Funds
For 8 CARE Boxes

Mary Price, president of C. A.,
announced that through the co-
operation of students and facul-
ty in the recent drive for food and
clothing to be sent to needy alum-
nae and their families in Ger-
many and Japan the drive was a
success.

By means of the two meatless
dinners on May 3 and 10, enough
was saved to send two CARE
packages to each of the four fam-
ilies, three of which are in Ger-
many and one in Japan. The
Freshmen cabinet sponsored
clothing drive resulted in 19 regu-
lation size boxes containing shoes,
coats, skirts, sweaters, and rub-
bers.

Freshmen Cop Cup
For Best Display
Of Spirit For '47 '48

The freshman class floated off
with the Student government
"Class Spirit" cup on their bal-
loons of merit in a presentation
skit under the direction of Sara
Jane Campbell, sophomore repre-
sentative and Charlotte Bartlett,
secretary.

Each class president collected
balloons representing the times
they exhibited unusual amounts
of spirit, and Tech-capped Char-
lotte Bartlett awarded the cup to
the freshman class who returned
the greatest number of balloons.
The award was based on attend-
ance at college and inter-class
activities, and class spirit in gen-
eral.

Judges for the presentation of
the cup were Miss Margaret Phy-
thian, associate professor of
French, W. A. Calder, professor of
physics and astronomy, and Miss
Margery Lyons, assistant in phy-
sical education.

The News will publish a spe-
cial graduation issue available

Young Alumnae House, ending a
series of teas which began Mon-
day.

The ten groups entertained are
permanent groups decided upon
in class meeting Monday. Each
group has a permanent leader who
will keep in touch with the mem-
bers of her group after they leave
school.

During the get-togethers Ele-
nore Htuchins and other members
of the Alumnae staff will explain
the association, its organization,
and its functions.

'Psychologists 7
To Visit Clinic

Fifty-four future psychologists
of Agnes Scott will make a trip
to the Georgia State Hospital in
Milledgeville Thursday, leaving at
6 a. m. They will attend clinics
both in the morning and afternoon
in which they will observe pa-
tients and methods of treatments.

Miss Katherine Omwake, pro-
fessor of the abnormal psychology
class, announced that E. B. Bol-
ton, head of the psychology de-
partment at G. S. C. W., invited
the group to attend a tea at the
old Governor's Mansion.

Questionnaire
Finds Chapel
Uninteresting

Blaming uninteresting pro-
grams for the drop in attendance,
the student body polled its opin-
ion of chapel in a Mortar Board
questionnaire.

Tabulations, released by Mor-
tar Board President Doris Sulli-
van, showed that 217 students at-
tend chapel regularly, 231 irreg-
ularly, and 28 never. A variety
of reasons for lack of attendance
ranged from smoking and eating
to last minute studying, but the
most general opinion was that
the average chapel did not hold
student interest.

Music Rates First

Voting for the most preferred
program fell into two groups. Mu-
sic and speech department pro-
grams rated first, inspirational
speakers second, and musical,
choir, and organ, third. Voting
was close between these top three.
Next in line were speakers on
secular subjects, devotionals, and
current affairs.

The programs cited as actually
attended most regularly were stu-
dent meetings by 200, class meet-
ings by 193, and C. A. programs
by 101. Faculty chapel and Sat-
urday Thanksgiving services rated
last.

In answer to the question
whether the longer chapel period
this year affected attendance, 65
students said yes but 350 wrote
no. Four hundred and thirty-nine
prefer to know the program in ad-
vance, 31 do not, and 311 said
knowing affected their attendance
while 137 said it does not.

Monday chapel .initiated this
year, got the approval of 272 stu-
dents, 132 of them freshmen, who
attended the Orientation pro-
grams. This left upperclass-
men in favor of Monday chapel
seven votes behind those who
thought it unprofitable.

Suggestions Conflict

Comments and suggestions in-
cluded requests for fewer out-
side speakers and complaints that
there were not enough. Some sug-
gested that the careers programs
be given in chapel instead of at
night for the benefit of day stu-
dents. Many wanted more inspira-
tional speakers. Some suggested
trying to keep students from stu-
dying in chapel and to get them
from sitting only in the back.
From many came the suggestion
that programs should have more

Familiar American Characters
Gather For Dooley Weekend

By Floss Hanson

Typical, familiar American scenes from the Puritan land-

our modern age were all blended into one gala evening of
merrymaking Friday night at Dooley's Frolics. The week-end
of fun and fancy was climaxed Saturday night when Dooley

The opening Masquerade ball
brought into one room a vivid
Conglomeration of costumes and
antics. In one corner savages
held their tribal war dance while
not 50 feet away an elaborately
costumed king and queen presided
over the festive Mardi Gras.
Bronzed and painted Indians
waltzed wfijth Hollywood stars.
Apparitions from the backwoods
of Kantuck danced with a queen,
and Puritans cut a fancy rug, all
to the syncopated rhythm of Gene
Krupa and his famous drums.

Highlights of the evening were
the introduction of the fraternity
sponsors running for queen, the
awarding of the prizes for decora-

solos which stopped the dance and
brought the crowd down to the
band stand in a burst of wild ap-
plause.

Play By Play

By Margaret Brewer

FOUND! Two energetic and courageous sports writers who saw our
ad a few weeks ago, and were not afraid to answer although one had
the suspicion that it might be just a joke. With all the pomp and cere-
mony possible we welcomed and initiated June Harris and Charlotte
Key into the Fourth Estate by extending them an invitation to visit
the News room last Monday night, when the paper went to bed for
the last time this year, to see how the worse half lives. Just think,
they may "grow up" to be that tyrant of the newspaper office the
editor-in-chief, I'm just teasing, Lorton, or they could bud into a
budding columnist one of those creatures who has to be on the manic-
depressive or schizophrenic side to be successful.

Could be we might need a new managing editor if the love bug
doesn't stop biting the one we have!

When the enthusiastic hopefuls arrived, this is what they found as
a typical example of what a news room ought not to be.

We begin with no light, no pencils, no galleys (proofs of printed
matter) and no staff. Eventually the editor, managing editor, as-
sistant editors, feature editor, society editor, copy editor, sports editor
and anybody else who happens to be around and wants to come along,
stumble up the stairs to the slave factory. The sides of the room are
bulging, if there's no important test the next day to keep some of the
staff away or any other plausible excuse they can think up.

As the proof readers proof read, the "Chief" sneaks out a non-coke
looking bottle and two "jiggers," and we happily sip window polish to
put us in the journalistic frame of mind. Those with weaker tummies
merely smell it.

Then we start reviewing the' news. Sometimes there is absolutely
nothing to write about but we can't let our readers know it. Per-
sonally I think four pages of white space would be very novel, but
the "Chief threatens to fire me for laziness. She generously offers
to jump out the window to provides news, but as I help her out a
sentimental managing editor yanks her back.

About that time a shriek from the proof readers pulverizes the
rest of us. It seems someone left a blank space for an unknown name
in a news story, and the printer had taken the trouble to set in type
" a dive performed by 'somebody, I'm no mind reader.' " Quickly
we race to the phone to fine out who "somebody" is before the printers
strike.

There are a few other bright spots in the course of proof reading,
such as the misspelling of PLAY BY PLAY as PLAY BY PLOIY, or
lopsided as "popsided," or R,ex Sheppard as Rev. Sheppard, or golfers
as gophers, and so on into the night.

Into the night is right, About a.m. Lorton scoops us off the

floor, and sends us home. Another Monday is over, the paper will
probably come out, the room is knee deep in paper, and Dot Medlock
is singing to the moon.

But we love every hour of it, and are looking forward to torturing
you next year. Until then Hasta Banana Au Reservoir! (For Sale!

Experts Battle
In Tennis Fray

By Charlotte Key

Zoom! Crash! Bang! no, it's
not target practice, it's just the
tennis tournament. Perhaps you've
been down to see some of those
matches and have been in the
infirmary afterwards with stiffitis
of the neck from watching the
balls whiz back and forth. It's
worth it, though, to see the ex-
perts dashing around over the
courts. I say experts, because the
expertest expert has not won her
crown yet.

Only three matches have been
played. Mary Louise Warlick de-
feated Jenelle Spear, 6-4, 6-1.
Noel Barnes downed B. J. Crow-
ther, 6-2, 6-1, and Martha Wil-

Bok Conducts
A S Audience
Thru Space

By Miscie

Speaking to a near-capacity
audience in Mclean auditorium
last Friday night, Dr. Bart Bok
of Harvard ' College Observatory
took his listeners on a lively, con-
ducted tour thru interstellar space.

From photographic slides pro-
jected by a tempermental lantern,
we made swift but certain nodding
acquaintance with planets, star
clusters and spiral nebulae, and
astronomically speaking, were put
in our proper place in that vast
stretch of the Milky Way. Dr. Bok
told us, our sun is only a dwarf
member, and our' busy exciting
and turbulent Earth is as nothing,
invisible except as we might re-
flect our sun's light to some puz-
zled astronomer on another plan
et.

To further deflate our ego, Dr.
Bok explained the extent of this
newly acknowledged neighborhood
by saying, "If you were able to
go around our equator at the rate
of seven times in one second, it
would take you, at this rate of
speed, 100.000 years to traverse
the entire Milky Way."

In spite of the weightiness of
his subject, Dr. Bok made it not
only easily grasped but most in-
teresting and also managed sev-
eral down to earth puns. Dr. Bok
told us new knowledge was being
gained continually about the end-
less space around us, and that he
hoped he would be invited back to
tell of other solved stellar myster-
ies a few years hence.

Kingman Instructs,
Criticizes Art Work
In Visit To Campus

By Cama Clarkson

A crowd like a soap box orator's
gathering stood on the quadran-
gle surrounding an insignificant
little oriental figure, Dong King-
man, professor of art at Colum-
bia university. Mr. Kingman
visited the -campus last week and
lectured to students in the art
department.

Instead of orating, however, he
was painting a brilliant concep-
tion of Main building while bal-
ancing precariously on a small
camp stool and explaining to his
intent audience the technique of
watercoloring for which he is well
known.

Mr. Kingman instructed the art
classes and criticized their work
Wednesday and Thursday after-
noons. His work has been pro-
foundly influenced by his early
training in the Chinese schools.
In demonstrating the use of the
Oriental bamboo brush, Mr. King-
man strove to explain to the stu-
dents the importance of control
and adeptness of brush strokes as
well as interest of composition.

Encouraging to aspiring artists
here and instructive in the tech-
niques of painting, Mr. Kingman
was also delightful with his Chin-
ese accent to which he often re-
ferred as "Me and my English."

Jabberwacky

By Lee Cousar

Warpaint and feed sacks! Dazzle and glamour! All blended
together made Agnes Scott's frolicers last Friday night.
Main resounded with war whoops and reeked of corncob pipes
at this strange assortment of creatures assembled to set out
for Dooley's frolics.

Indians held numerical predom-
inance in the group, and with their
genuinely savage appearances con-
vinced by-standers that time had
moved back several hundred years
to the before-Columbus days. In
fact, some kept their eyes glued
eagerly on the door, hoping Chris-
topher would come with his Eng-
lishmen.

Burlap material was the mode.
One squaw was attractively at-
tired in a croker sack, made in a
very plain style, and bearing on
the back the clarifying inscription,
"dog feed".

Saturday night's queen of the
Frolics would hardily have been
recognized as the regal type as
she left Friday night in her at-
tractive burlap bag with its lovely
cord belt and scalloped skirt. Al-
so attired in feed sacks were three
seniors who created for themselves

clever little poke bonnets and ac-
quired a genuine look of what
type we don't know.

Gypsies, Tobacco Roaders, movie
stars, and Gay Nineties bathers
joined, too, in this pageant of A-
merican life, past and present.

From Inman came none other
than the great Ingrid Bergman
as Maria of "For Whom the Bell
Tolls". If her costume resembled
drapery material in any way, it
was purely because it was made of
her neighbors's curtains.

A day student, according to
rumor, really merited the prize for
originality in taste. She and her
date appeared at the Frolics not
as squaw and brave, and not as
Clark and Lana but as a pair of
dice. To be absolutely honest, we
didn't see these rolling stones, but
some fairly honest people solemnly
vow that it's the truth.

Confused Scheduler Demands
Study In Unique Techniques

By Jackie Jacobs

What is the procedure necessary to introduce a new sub-
ject into the curriculum of Agnes Scott? I've searched the
stacks, taken sidewalk symposiums, and even thought deeply
about the matter, but to no avail. WeVe all heard that it is
extremely difficult to introduce a subject unless demanded by
social neceessity, but anyone who

classmen in order to "look" before
they "leap".

Special instructions should be
given in order to explain the dif-
ferent functions of the widely dis-
cussed blue, pink, and yellow cards
their ports of embarkation and
designated points of arrival. The
last quarter of instruction should
be devoted to oral drill on the lo-
cation of faculty offices and time
of office hours.

Schedule 303, the more advanc-
ed junior course, should begin with
particular aspects of schedule pro-
blems and constructive approach-
es to their solution with special
emphasis on the avoidance of Sat-
urday classes. The old-fashioned
method of an abundance of five
hour courses has been outmoded.

Only one of the many possible
solutions to be discused in Sche-
dule 303 is an ingenious arrange-
ment with all your three hour
courses on Monday, Wednesday
and Friday, leaving Tuesday and
Thursday free as well as Saturday.
(Just think a three day school
week! John L. Lewis himself
couldn't ask for more.) Of course,
the inevitable search for crip
courses should be carried on more
completely here, but the ideal sit-
uations are not presented until
the pupils reach Schedule 404.
Class Clash
This course is to place special
emphasis on the avoidance of Sat-
urday classes, late afternoon clas-
ses, and early morning classes.
Now don't get the false notion
that Schedule 404 encourages the
avoidance of all classes. After all,
it is an intellectual course for ser-
ious-minded girls. The basic the-
ory recognizes the value of late
morning classes, as long as they
do not interfere with securing a
desirable place in the lunch line.
The "9:30 and ll.TO's only" club
could be a stimulating influence
to the student body. The one dif-
ficulty is-er-how to get in 180
hours this way. This problem will
be carefully discussed in class.

has survived the last weeks of
"schedulephrenia" will doubtless
confirm the fact that courses in
"Schedule and Applied Techni-
ques" is a dire necessity.

This course should be designed
to cover four years of college work-
and constitute a survey of broad
aspects of Schedule including his-
tory (professors' idioscyncrasies),
economics (percentages of those
previously failing the course),
psychology (avoidance of person-
ality clashes with the instructors),
English (the corect spelling and
wording of schedule blanks and
philosophy (historical systems of
thought and their applications to
current schedule problems) in re-
lation to the catalogued courses.
Woeful Warning

Schedule 101, the . freshmen
course, should be an introductory
study, including the basic princi-
ples of scientific avoidance of all
traps lying in wait for them be-
tween the mysterious covers of
the catalogue. A safe procedure
for the teacher would be a subtle
persuasion of the freshmen to
take the most difficult subjects a-
vailable. When, or if, they sur-
vive the first year, no schedule
could seem of satisfaction a good
investment? Lab hours would
be of special value to freshmen.
The student should have as her
project for the year the drawing
up of every conceivable schedule
combination and its possible solu-
tion in order to acquaint her with
this fascinating study.

Soph Specialty

The sophomore course, Schedule
202, should receive special atten-
tion because of the all-important
question confronting them in the
spring the scheduling of a major
subject. Observation of the gen-
eral state of mind of various jun-
iors and seniors in relation to the
majors they have elected should
be singularly valuable. The stu-
dents should be urged to arrange
private conferences with upper

Case Of Catastrophe

We suspect sabotage. Last week the News sent out to the
coke machine for a drink to give us that second wind so badly
needed by a dead-head staff. Catastrophe no cokes.

Despondancy hit an all time high, laying us lower than
a New York subway. We pictured a Wednesday without the
News, a Science hall without late studiers, and a math major
minus her student aid.

Sending out our super sleuths we found evidence piled up
in empty cases against the student body. We charge you and
ourselves with negligence. Miss Betty Hayes, manager of
the Tea House, stated that about five cases of bottles fail to
return each week and she drew us an epigramatic picture of
the future, "No bottles no cokes no machine."

They Took It

The frosh copped the cup and to the applause of sopho-
mores, juniors, and seniors, the News adds a hefty cheer and
a small but fragrant bouquet for personal reasons.

The frosh copped the cup for spirit. "Spirit," the News
commented after the Black Cat Stunt, "can be built or broken
by defeat . . .The challenge of "Can you take it" is before every
vanquished class. Freshmen have showed us their spirit; now
they must prove it is the right kind."

The News thrives on facts. WeVe "gotta be shown". We
issued a challenge to "show us" to the freshman class and the
facts have shown us as well as the judging committee for the
spirit cup.

Freshmen, we've got to hand it to you. You've proved you
can take it.

Gripe Right

"It seems therefore that the
fault is not wholly with the chapel
goer." This was the criticism of
the editors in last week's News
that if chapel programs were
worthwhile and interesting, a bet-
ter attendance might be expected.
This is, of course, quite true, but
one wonders just what a "worth-

while and interesting" program is
when she sees the small attend-
ance at one of the most informa-
tive lectures of the year, Dr.
Cumming's talk on the political
situation in Korea. I would like
to suggest that the chapel goer
give good programs a chance.

Dr. John Chester Frist Finds
Knowledge Guides Purpose

"Life must have sincerity of purpose, but it must be a pur-
pose guided by knowledge." This was the main point of Dr.
John Chester Frist as brought out in his Baccalaureate ser-
mon, Sunday.

Taking his message from the text in Luke 9:15 "He pro-

ceeded with fixed purpose to go to
Jerusalem," Dr. Frist expressed
his hope that our college gradu-
ates would meet their oncoming
crises and face them with the
same singular determination and
sincerity of purpose with which
Christ chose hardships and the
cross.

He went on to describe our gen-
eration as a "merry-go-round gen-
eration making much ado about
nothing, playing a lively tune as

we whirl around, but after all end-
ing up just about where we start-
ed out. Too many men and wom-
en have no driving power of a
definite purpose guiding their
thoughts and actions and shoving
them onward to new achieve-
ments."

Dr. Frist emphasized that our
purpose must not only be sincere,
but that it must be guided by

Dr. Raymond Paty Emphasizes
Post Commencement Culture

Emphasizing the importance of continuing education on a
personal level after completion of formal education ,Dr.
Raymond Paty warned seniors in a commencement address
this morning of the danger facing college graduates of becom-
ng lost in the drabness and practical affairs of everyday life,
and neglecting the broadening

cultural influences which per-
vade college days.

Speaking on a personal and in-
formal level, Dr. Paty, who is
Chancellor of the University sys-
tem of Georgia, further warned
that these practical affairs of
life may make Qvertones upon
our lives. The years spent in col-
lege, he said, in concentration

upon art, music, history and the
sciences tend to exert a broaden-
ing influence upon our personal
lives. The graduate .however
when involved in the hurry and
complication of the outside world
is apt to stall in his personal de-
velopment.

He stressed the fact that the
graduate must concentrate upon

carrying the college influence be-
yond graduation day and making
college experience a means of en-
riching her personal life.

The News Dedicates

For their simple dignity,
ceaseless service, and inspira-
tional guidance we dedicate
this issue of the Agnes Scott
News to Dr. J. R. McCain and
Miss Lucille Alexander.

Dr. McCain celebrates his
25th year as president of Ag-
nes Scott, and Miss Alexander
retires at the end of this ses-
sion, after 45 years of service
to the college. To them we give
this small token of thanks.

Leaves A. S.

Miss Lucille Alexander, profes-
sor of French, retired at the end
of the 1947-48 session with a rec-
ord of 45 years of service to the
college. Miss Margaret Phythian,
associate professor of French, will
succeed her as head of the French
department.

George Winship, chairman of
the Board of Trustees, commends
Miss Alexander in a letter of ap-
preciation from the Board for her
tireless service, her efficient tea-
ching, and the Christian example
she has set to the generations of
classes.

Seniors Plunge Into the Unknown Leaving Legacy Behind

By Louise McLaurim

When in the course of college events, it becomes necessary
for one class to dissolve the humble bands which have con-
nected it with others, and to assume among the powers of
the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of
Agnes Scott and an A. B. degree entitle it, a decent respect to

the opinions of faculty and friends
requires that it should declare
the causes which impel it to the
separation and the nature of those
belongings it wishes to leave be-
hind.

We hold these truths to be self-
evident that all classes are crea-
ted equal; that they are endowed
by the administration with certain
inalienable rights; that among
these are life, liberty and the pur-
suit of knowledge; if the members
of any one class become so im-
bued with learning, it is their un-
questionable right to leave the
college forever to plunge into
the vast unknown before them de-
termined to conquer new worlds.
Amen

We therefore, the components
of the class of '48, in general meet-
ing assembled, appealing to the
administration and faculty for the
rectitude of our intentions do in

at 8:45 to Charlotte Lea and her
car pool.

I, B. J. Brown, out of the kind-
ness of my heart, insist that Pat-
ty Persohn take a foot of my
height so that she will be as tall
as I am.

I, Nan Nettles, bequeath to B.
J. Crowther, my energetic vim
and vigor.

I, Ruth Richardson, do readily
will and bequeath my dulcet voice
to all raucous dorm alarm clocks
so that students will no longer
wake up screaming.

I, Billie Mae Redd, do leave to
Mary Ann Hachtel my deep love
for early rising, and to Freddie
Hachtel my love of science.

We, Betty Kitts and June
Smith, for Ric Ramsuer's sake,
sorrowfully bequeath our quiet-
ness to the incoming freshman
class.

I, Claire Kemper, do leave to

the name and bv the authority of a]1 P e P le unable to carr y a tune >
the remaining classes of this m V violin at least the y can

school solemnly publish and de-
clare this, our last will and test-
ament.

In the name of Agnes Scott Col-
lege herein located at Decatur,
Georgia. . .amen!

We, the members of the class
of '48, after four years of hard
labor, being of rather question-
able faculties and emaciated bod-
ies, acting under duress, having
now reached the ripe old age of
four years, born in the year of our
.Lord, 1944, do thoughtfully and
tearfully, revoking all other wills
hitherto written, make, publish
and declare this to be our last will
and testament. Rest in Peace!

I, E. Claire Cunningham, do
thoughtfully bequeath my hockey
stick to Kitty McKoy with the
profound hope that it will help
her build up her muscles.

I, Margaret Ann Richards, with
a heartfelt yawn, regretfully give
up my bed to Margie Graves, hop-
ing that she will take excellent
care of it.

able laughter in the library.

We, Jenny Wren, Grace Durant,
and Pat McManmon, realizing
our inferiority, do surrender our
place in the spotlight to those up
and coming perfolrmers, Daddy
McCain, Hotlips Posey and Down-
beat Hunter.

I, Tissie Rutland, prefer to take
with me my natural ability to
answer "Yes", to the question "Is
there a doctor in the house?"

I, Susan Neville, give, with no
hesitation, the key to the dry
cleaning room to Mary Hayes
Barber and Jessie Hodges; more-
over, I leave my week-end jaunts
to Todd McCain and Patty Over-
ton.

I, Rose Ellen Armstrong, after
much thought and deliberation,
part with my melodious singing
voice to Norah Anne Little in or-
der that she mav someday be
able to sing as I do.

I, Martha Beech am. will my
abilitv to guard with one hand (in
basketball, that is) to Rebecca
Lever to help her to save her ener-
gy.

We, Jane Campbell, Carol
Equen, Mary Humphries, Jean
Henson, Rebecca Scott, and Emi-
ly Wrieht, relinquish our right
to pant gracefully into our 8:30's

Poise Plus
We, Joanna Gee, Betty Gesner,
and Rose Mary Grffin, do will
r.nd bequeath to Sara Jane
Campbell and Beryl Crews our
calm ajr of self-assurance.

We, Sheely Little, Tattie Mae
Williams, and Mariana Hollings-
worth, mournfully depart from
dear third Main, willing it to all
who seek a mainstay in life.

I, Anne Shepherd, will and be-
queath all my worldly Gaines to
Willene Tarry.

I, Beverly Gordy, give my night
life to anyone capable of stand-
ing the pace.

We, Margie Klein and Jean
Loney, surrender our ardent as-
piring after the Mell Bell to soci-
ologically minded Ellen Katz.

I, Liz Jackson, dejectedly re-
linquish my "Si, si, Senior!" to all
Spanish lovers.

We, Ruth and Elizabeth Blair,
do leave the "sister act" to Nena
and Fritz Hale.

I, Martha Humber, do jdisjoint-
edly give up my co-ordination in
dancing to Marie Heng.

I, Nancy Geer, do hereby de-
oart with my scholarly approach
to studies in order that Mim
Steele may be thus endowed.

We, Amanda Hulsey and Myr-
tice Mariana, sadly bequeath to
\r\n Hayes fine Arts 101 and the
art Professor at Emory.

I, Bob Blair, do leave Rebekah,
both of us slightly worn and dis-
heveled, to El Bear, and I do leave
the sophomores . . .

I, Alice Davidson, willingly re-
Mnquish my carrel to Hunt Morris

Prophetess Divulges Premonitions of Future Predicaments

By Harriet Gregory

Now is- the time for forward-
looking young women to look for-
ward, to survey what will be the
contemporary scene along about
1968. It is necessary to know what
the struggle availeth, because
then and only then can we decide
whether or not we shall struggle.

Individual fates are here re-
lated as instances of a great
truth, the truth concerning how
liberal can the arts get in twenty
years, or how many of the class
of '48 will gain riches, fame, hap-
piness, and husbands?

Peering into the gray mists of
the future, the first vision I catch
is of a bevy of classmates perch-
ed upon a mountain peak of suc-
cess. They survey the surround-
ing populace with beatific smiles,
the same smiles which lesser
classmates were wont to term
smug in the first bright days of
frat pin and engagement notices
in the News. Edna Claire Cun-
ningham, Mildred Claire Jones,
Jean and Jane DeSilva, Betty Jo
Doyle, Edith Feagler, Jean Hen-
son, Betty Kitts, Beth Jones,
Sheely Little, and Roberta Mac-
Laghan emanate the same rosy
glow which suffused the campus
of yore. Jubliantly waving spark
ling left hands from the same
general vicinity are B. J. Brown,
Jane Barker, Mary Gene Sims,
Lida Walker, Margaret Ann Rich-
ards, Tissie Rutland, and Ellen
Morrison. They speak of numer-
ous husbands, rose-covered cot-
tages, and problems of the nur-
sery, kindergarten, and adoles-
cent phases. Time and space pro-
hibit what would otherwise prove
a fascinating listing of names,
ages, and behavior patterns of off-
spring. Suffice it to say that
Granddaughters club has a big
membership potential, and Emory
and Tech should have some hec-
tic rush weeks.

To prove that there are other
pennacles of success, Rose Ellen
Armstrong, Mary Mohr, and
June Driskill took the road less
traveled by, and after twenty
years, they were willing to de-
clare that that has made all the
difference. Mo, and June and
Rose Ellen work as adjustors in
a personnel department. They re-
adjust psychology students to the
world outside abnormal psychol-
ogy class and Milledgeville ob-
servations. They say the job main-
ly consists of guiding psych ma-
jors in the diagnosis of their own
symptoms, and in the cure of
persecution complexes developed
in pop quizes.

Sally Bussey has become an
mily Post in party etiquette. Her
best seller on "Partie's Attitudes
toward, during and after," is still
bringing in royalties. She's busy
writing another book entitled
"The Party Girl's Handbook," the
sequel to the "Agnes Scott Hand-
book."

Fame definitely came to Dot
Stewart, Carol Equen, and Betty
Gesner . . . They're the faces
that launched a thousand Sears
and Roebuck catalogues. Seems
that the future is simple when
one's face etc. are one's fortune.

Betzie Powers has reached the
apex of success in her chosen
field. She whirls around furiously
busy as always and hard to catch,
even in a vision. She is manag-
ing public relations for Fellow,
\\v only White House dog to serve
six terms. Betzie bills Fellow as
me dow-wow with a smiie.

Martha Cook, June Smith, Bet-
ty Kitts and Rebecca Lacy have

collabroated on a book of histor-
ical research, and the Agnes Scott
library has bought one for the
reserve room, an indication of the
book's esoteric quality. The name
of the book is "Posey Particulars
of Political Party Palaver," or
"Four Years Before the Task."

Jane Alsobrook, Julia Ann Cole-
man, Bob Blair, and Tina Hew-
son are doing scientific research
in the field of chemistry. They
have made amazing discoveries
concerning the human T-zone
That's T for taste, and T for
throat. They have made great
strides in the experimentation
considering their lack of vocation-
al training, which proves the val-
ue of a liberal arts education. Be-
lieving that no sacrifice is too
great for science, they act as
their own guina pigs for the T-
zone testing.

Lou McLaurin's fifty-first art
exhibit is drawing record crowds
and laudatory, If confused, com-
ments from the critics, Lou calls
this exhibit, "She also serves who
only stands and doodles."

Devoted to a life of enlighten-
ment and service to the fellow-
man are Sister Davis and Adele
Dieckmann. They are on the is-
land of Yap, that's in the Pa-
cific, instructing the natives in
the beauties of self-discipline and
the joys of clean living.

Nan Nettles, Elizabeth Blair,
Grace Durant, and Claire Kemper
formed an orchestra. They call
themselves the Cornettes and
play biannually in Carnegie Hall.
Mary Beth Little sings with them
and writes poetry using the in-
spiration gained. Her newest book
is called "Tin Pan Hollow."

Mac Compton is teaching his-

Poet Little Speaks For Class;
Tuts Away Childish Things 7

By Mary Beth Little

Hush the tinkling music box
Where yet the child-heart sings;
We are women now, we put
Away our childish things.
Days, dust, and new ways gather.
What most secret shall we
shelter?

Scarlet leaves and October skies
Teasing the student out of doors

and mind;
Squirrels flaunting nimble

freedom;
Envelopes bridging two familiar

spheres;
Faded flowers, yellow ribbons,

ticket stubs;
Stunt-night programs, clippings

underlined;
Shadows and criss-cross colors
Splashing: the hockey field;
Laughter alive with sunlight;
Sleepy girls discussing life

and ultimates
While outside lamplight illumines

casual darkness.
Magnolia leaves cupping snow,
Redbrick sharp in winter

brightness,
Strict tower pointing to the sky;
Tedious hours, sensing tentative

growth,
Being lost to find;
An easel with November gropings,

April skill;

A microscope, and a strange

Exciting world unguessed;

The rush of blackness after light,

And light again: and a new world

On a by-day-simple stage;

Dim raine? days, umbrella

blossoms;
Shining streets reluctant to

relinquish
Mirrored images of those who
Meet and disappear.
Dogwood more breathless white

each spring;
Leaves too green

For looking at through windows;
Slender girls in white,
Holding slender candles,
Whispering hopeful vows
Greater than themselves;
Intimate talk about the stars,
Leaping computation to

silvered awe;
A sudden book like sacred flame,
Dazzling the beholder;
Calendar pages too swiftly

fluttering,
Hurrying tomorrows to the

winds;

A young moon tangled in the
pine,

Suddenly breaking free and

beautiful.
Hush the tinkling music box
Where yet the child-heart signs;
We are women now, we put
Away our childish things.

Powers Chronicles Senior Recollections
Perpetuates Trials Of 1948 Survivors

Agnes Lends Bit of Norway;
Pictures Pre- American Days

By Cathie Davis

Interviewing Agnes Berentzen
for this story was like reading a
feature on present-day Norway.
Modestly Agnes told me, "I just
can't think of anything interest-
ing about me/' However, upon
seeing my disappointment she
quickly added, "But I love to talk
about my country." Her love for
Norway is perhaps her most out-
standing characteristic. This is
to present Agnes, the Norwegian,
who has become one of the most
interesting parts of the Agnes
Scott campus.

Hill Skill

Agnes grew up in her native
Oslo enjoying many of the same
amusements that keep American
children happy. She was not one
of the tomboys who enjoyed play-
ing the boys at their own games,
but she does try her skill at win-
ter sports. 'We all ski and ice
skate in the winter. The hills in
Norway are steep and good for
that sometimes too good!" she
iaughed.

Another custom which interest-
ed me was her celebration of Nor-
way's holiday which compares
with our July fourth. When she
was a senior in high school they
were in the midst of final exam-
inations about the time that May
17 rolled around. Agnes told me
how thev painted all the old model
strip-downs they could find a
bright red and then, riding around,
did the same for the town. "Red's
the color in Norway," she smiled;
"I mean for cars, not Commun-
ists."

Ednoation Notation
I asked Agnes to compare Nor-
way's educational system with
ours. She went first to a grade
school for seven years and after-
wards to a high school that she
considers a little harder than our
preparatory schools. Six days a
week for five years the students
studv English, German, math and
physics to mention a few of the
harder courses. Everyone who
wants to go to the university must
be able to study in both English

and German because their text-
books are imported.

The girls learn how to sew and
cook well and the boys take some
sewing in addition to carpentry.

During the war, Agnes said,
Norway's only university, the one
she attended at Oslo, was closed
and whatever male students who
could not escape to Sweden or
England were put in concentra-
tion camps. The Germans at-
tempted to mobilize the girl stu-
dents also and Agnes spent most
of her time traveling around to
keep them from finding her.
Holler-ship and Scholarship

"At V-E Day," she recalled, "we
simply went wild! There were
400,000 Germans left in our coun-
try, but we celebrated anyway,
and fortunately they didn't do
anything to us before the Allies
arrived to occupy the country."

Rotary International awarded
Agnes the scholarship which
brought her to this country and
to Agnes Scott. By now she has
completed three years of college
and has just four more to go. She
explained that their college educa-
tion requires seven years, but
their degree is something between
a master's and a doctor's.

Soon after her arrival in South
Georgia last fall Agnes saw her
first American football game
(which differs from European
football) and later has seen sever-
al baseball games. She prefers
baseball, but the best thing about
either to her is seeing the crowds.

By Betty Bayne Powers

We, the Class of 1948, the last
one hundred fourteen survivors
on the campus of the past four
years of blood, sweat and tears
feel it is our duty to record our
harrowing experiences for poster-
ity. Furthermore, whereas it is
the ancient custom beginning with
the Greeks that dying people in
their last moments of breath be
allowed one final harangue;
whereas, secondly, it is purely
American custom that youth tol-
erate their elders in their dotage
one last period of nostalgia and
reminiscence; whereas, it is lastly
our bounden duty for the improve-
ment of the Agnes Scott race to
present our trials and errors for
you, to repeat if you think them
worth it or shun them if they
too greatly horrify you.

Tear Gazing

Therefore, standing before you
today illustrious in our academic
robes of black, tearfully gazing
back at the past four years and
fearfully gazing out at ithe future,
we here, now and forever, remove
from the closets of these hallowed
halls our skeletons. In true his-
torical fashion we shall deal with
the survival of our clan in chron-
ological order.

Proudly displaying purple and
white ribbons and wilted corsages
we jumped from trains, buses, and
planes into the waiting hands of
the C. A. representatives on that
fateful day of September 15, 1944.
We got our first view of Atlanta
peering around hatboxes, tennis
rackets and stuffed animals in
the taxi going out to Decatur. On
the way we passed numerous
trolleys hurrying back and forth
but failed to recognize their vital
significance. Inman looked bleak
and homej( and the height of
the ceiling only added to our awed
feeling of decreased stature.
Dean Ordeal

More ribbons, the first sacred
meeting with Miss Scandrett, a
real Dean, and the ordeal of wait-
ing for roommates kept us from
being homesick. The glamour of
college f reshmanship quickly
evaporated in the long waiting
lines, and tired feet and dazed ex-
pressions took its place. Those
first few days remained as a dim
Kaleidioscope now; actually seeing
a college president eating hot
dogs, the imposing age of the
Seniors, professors calmly walk-
ing around the campus, and COL-
LEGE!

The pieces suddenly quit re-
volving madly and settled with a
sudden hint of doom as the first
day of classes arrived. There we
had to do what we hadn't learned
in high school, and then we learn-
ed what we couldn't do that we'd
done in high school in handbook
classes. The rules weren't so bad
when looked at philosophically,
1 after all there were no men in

war-time Atlanta to complicate
our allocation of the two precious
dates each week, and early to
bed and early to rise proverbially
was destined to make one healthy,
wealthy and wonderfully wise.

Suddenly we became aware of
traditions. And just as suddenly
our orientation helpers became
our deadly enemies as Black Cat
stunt time arrived. Scenery, cos-
tumes, pep meetings and the hush-
hush of secrecy occupied our days,
but the bell for our "For Him the
Bell Told" or "A Puss with a
Purr-puss" was worth it. Dabney
was variously in or out of the in-
firmary from the strain and we
were radiant in victory. We em-
erged a class with our own Al-
ma Mater besides.

Tech Treat

Life settled down into hours in
the stacks, Wednesday chapels
learning of the outside world from
Mrs. Sims, the ever-present billet
doux from Mrs. Smith, and hur-
ried orders from Threadgills to
tide us through our precious light
cut. Every groan of torture from
fundamentals accompanied each
movement that we made. Mortar
Board gave us a chance to see a
real Tech man in the flesh and
we found out to our joy that there
were also tall-dark-n'-handsomes
a lot closer at Emory.

We elected Dabney to guide us
through the year and concerts,
hockey, and E. Claire with the
stick, labs and themes made the
days fly. Only sixty-five, no only
thirty, just ten more days! Exams
came and passed and so did we
and we were home for Christ-
mas adult college freshmen!

A new calendar year and hopes
for more dates and better grades.
We emerged from war activities
and Lawson sobered, from the
freshman shoe-shine shop daubed
and smeared, and from second
quarter exams triumphant !
Spring quarter we elected Nancy
and Rusty to the May Court, Lou
"Peanut Butter" as our next pre-
sident and agonized over how best
to distribute our points among all
the wonderful clubs.

And then it was over and a
whole year was just a memory,
brilliantly studded by speakers like

summer was coming and we could

almost September again.

Back again and Sophomores!
We had almost forgotten that
there were such things as tele-
phone duty, co-op and schedules,
and we missed the ones of us who
thought the fields were greener
elsewhere. We worked as Sopho-
more helpers but mostly we just
acted important. Again we tri-

knowledge. "Sometimes even col-
lege graduates are just as foolish
in wasting expensive and costly
college training because of not
using knowledge in chosing a
purpose for their lives." In choos-
ing this purpose intelligently he
suggested following the example
set by Jesus who steadfastly chose
to serve his fellowmen and to
link His life with God's eternal
purpose.

Once the purpose is chosen he
says that we can succeed only as
we recognize a partnership with
God in this task. "If we as
Christians work in harmony with
God nothing can defeat us."

Dr. Frist closed the sermon
with the thought that while there
are many phases of our college life
that we cannot take with us when
we graduate we can take the
consciousness that our life can
mean much to the world of our
day as we unreservedly throw our-

Gals About

By Billie Powell

What did the members of the graduating class do on their
last two weekends at college? They really did the town.

Tech's I.F.C. dances drew lots of them; Maxine Kickliter,
June Irvine, Jane Alsobrook, and Ginny Andrews. Mary
Manly went to the Phi Delt formal. Nancy Geer and June
Driskill attended a party given

by the Emory Phi Delts and
S.A.E.'s. E. Claire Cunningham
enjoyed a Y. Banquet at Tech.
Mae Comer ( Osborne danced at
the Paradise room and Zollie Sax-
on traveled to Athens to a wed-
ding.

Two more seniors with beauti-
ful engagement rings, and plans
for the near future, Lida Walker
and Margaret Anne Richards. And
Jean daSilva has a lovely Chi Phi
sweetheart pin!

And now for the social life of
frosh, sophs, and juniors Mem-
bers of these classes were well
represented at the I.F.C. 's. You
should have seen our girls in the
leadout, including Dot Quillian
who dated Ben Brown, I.F.C.
president, and Gin Vining, Cama
Clarkson, Catherine McGauley,
Willa Wagner, Libby Shontz, Bar-
bara Lawson, Susan Bowling.
Also seen there were Bettie Davi-
son, Newell Turner, Joan Law-
rence, Mim Steele, Butch Hays,
Jo Culp, Carolyn Galbreath,
Mary Stubbs, Julie Morgan, Mary
Hayes Barber, Esther Cordle, Sal-
ly Thomason, Sally Jackson, Wil-
ton Rice, Mary Louise Mattison,

Grimes, Betty Harrell, Marg
Hunt, Annelle Simpson, Gene Wil-

the mechanics of English compo-
sition.

Susan Pope is in Florida too.
She raises citrus fruit and man-
ufactures fruit cocktail, most of
which she ships to Suzanne Wil-
son, who now plans the meals
and manages the dining room at
Agnes Scott. Suzanne made up
the proverbial deficit in a month,
during which time Sue Meaders
made enough money with the Tea
House to add a wing on the Alum-
nae House and to expand the fish
pond.

Margaret Yancey has taken
over the editorship of "Holiday."
Marian and her husband give her
all her tips on ritzy places to va-
cation.

Rosemary Griffin is the voice
you hear now instead of Bonnie
Baker's She sings about chew-
ing gum, toothpaste and other
products for home and industry.

Ruth Richardson has become
famous as the College Avenue
hillbilly, and Pris Hatch tells bed
time stories to soft music for
children in their twenties. They're
both naturals for television.

Marianna Hollandsworth is Da-
vidson's first woman dean, and
Susan Neville is G.M.A.'s first
woman president. Another big
wheel in academic circles is Jen
Payne, the prize prof of Emory
theologs.

Jane Hailey Boyd, Jane Rushin
Hungerford, Lucy Grovenstein
McNeill, and Ruth Bastin Slentz,
are living, breathing testimonials
to the true greatness of Mrs.
Overton and Mrs. Wilson. They
all attained perfect martial bliss
and all their children are on the
Mortar Board-Phi Bete level.

Sara Catherine Wilkinson is

revenue where she has won dis-
tinction as the human adding ma-
chine. She's the only person who

lotte Evans, Claire Foster, Jean
Osborne, Pat McGowan, Mimi
Mitchell, Mary Jo Amnions, Han-
na Wood, Ruby Lehmann, Easy
Beale, Teeka Long, Anna Wells,
Nancy Brown, Susan Gauger, Dot
Porter, Ginny Skinner, Cissie
Spiro, and Joan Brown.

On a houseparty in Henderson-
ville, N. C, were Margaret Hop-
kins, Mary Louise Warlick, Mar-
gie Major, and Joann Peterson.
Also housepartying were Dot
Floyd, Gin Vining, Nan Ford,
Alice Crenshaw, and Claire Fos-
ter who went to Lake Raburn
with the Tech S.A.E.'s. And Leila
Walker and Isabel TrusloW at-
tended a Theta Chi houseparty at
Rutledge.

Seen at the Phi Delt formal
Friday night were Lyd Gardner,
Ann Green, Diana Durden, Har-
riet Ann McGuire, Pat McGowa,
Charlotte Bartlett, Dot Floyd,
Carolyn Wells, Nancy Dendy, and
Jean Tollison. Barbara Hytken
and Gregor Mitchell attended the
spring frolics at Sewanee. Celes-
te Barnett went to Washington
for a weekend. Amy Jones had a
houseparty in West Point the
weekend of the 15th and 16th and
invited Tina Hand, Sally Thoma-
son, Terry Keith, Sue Yarborough,
and Jimmy Ann McGee. Virginia
Arnold took Betty Finney home
with her to Newnan.

Pagie Violette, Edith Stowe,
and Jeanette Wilcoxon took in
the June Week at Annapolis.
Hm-m-m, lucky girls! And Mil-
dred Claire Jones had a most at-
tractive visitor down from Citadel
graduation weekend, her Cal.

in her head.

Anne Treadwell is teaching the
Navajos how to weave baskets,
and Tee Toe Williams, Anne Shep-
herd, Ruth Blair and Louise Cou-
sar are running a home for de-
linquent girls. Barbara Wauga-
mann has published a book of
their findings. . It's been quite
a sensation, and it's entitled "The
Waugamann Report on How De-
linquent Can a Girl Get."

The scientific magazines are
giving Ann Ezzard a big play.
She has recently discovered the
YZ-ray and is confident that she
will find a use for it soon.

Thus the vision hath it. Twen-
ty years from now we shall all
be very happy, filthy rich, and
exceedingly famous. We take
many devious routes to success,
but isn't it lovely that we all get
there?

As the prophet of the class of
1948 who has seen more things in
heaven and earth than are dreamt
of in vocational guidance tests, I
nominate this year's graduating
class as the class most likely to
succeed. I don't see how we can
miss.

Fete Seniors

Juniors bid formal farewell to
the senior class on the little quad-
rangle with a supper seasoned
with a floor show of junior dis-
covered and dormitory talent.

The Junior Joint chorus opened
the show with their medley of fa-
miliar "Nineties" songs, followed
by Dot Porter's rendition of the
class history in the style of Butch
Hayes and Easy Beale. Kate
Durr Elmore produced her imita-
tions and by request Willene
"Stafford" Tarry gave her ver-
sions of "Onions."

Miss Charlotte Hunter and W.
B. Posey, class sponsors, refreshed
tired seniors at an after-rehearsal
party on the little quadrangle Fri-
day.

The Alumnae association enter-
tained the seniors, their guests,
faculty, and alumnae at the tra-
ditional party Sunday in the
Alumnae garden. Punch and
French pastries were served from
tea tables set with lace clothes
and arrangements of magnolia
blossoms.

Alexander Retires

(Continued from page 1)

since she graduated from the In-
stitute in 1899, Miss Alexander
was its first honor student and
winner of the mathematics prize.
When Agnes Scott began award-
ing the B. A. degree, Miss Alex-
ander received her second degree
from the college in 1911, gradua-
ting with highest honor. She was
the first Agnes Scott alumna to
gat an advanced degree, receiv-
ing her M. A. from Columbia uni-
versity in 1913.

Miss Alexander taught mathe-
matics when she first started in-
structing in 1903. Later she tran-
sferred to French and became
head of the department. Miss
Alexander is a member of Phi
Beta Kappa, an honorary member
of Mortar Board, and a college
marshall. She has served on the
Admissions committee and has
taken an active interest in the
college activities.

The Alumnae association honor-
ed Miss Alexander at their an-
nual banquet Saturday.

the Senior class party, held in the new dining room and on
the colonade of Rebekah Scott, May 15.

A formal buffet supper, the party featured dancing by pro-
gram, bridge, table games, ping pong, and group singing.
Entertainment was furnished by

Seniors are the strangest creatures! "Hallelujah, I'm

flinging their arms around the nearest thing, pour forth a
flood of tears and lamentations. Inability to bear their grief
and inability to believe their good fortune are all blended in

faculty to the member of the sen-
ior class who most nearly meas-
ures up to the ideals of Miss Hop-
kins as the committee can in-
terpret them. They include con-
spicuous loyalty to the Agnes
Scott ideals of service, ability to
cooperate, physical fitness, poise,
and graciousness.

The Collegiate scholarship is
presented by the faculty to the
student in the junior, sophomore,
or freshman class who makes the
best all-round record for the year.
It covers tuition for the next ses-
sion.

Members of the senior Honor
Roll are Dabney Adams, Martha
Ellen Beacham, Barbara Blair,
Alice Caldwell Davidson, Adele
Dieckmann, Joanne Gee, Chath

their glad-sad voices,
we who are about to become sen-
iors the professor willing feel
a faint twinge of understanding,
as we watch the parting woes of
our toughest competitors and
closest friends.

On sign-out slips in the dean's
office we find the graduation joy
expressed without the tragic ele-
ment. The frame of mind of the
seniors who stated in bold black
capitals that their time of ex-
pected return was NEVER is not
difficult to ascertain.

In fact, there were several in-
teresting purposes and times of
expected return. One recently-
ringed senior stated that her pur-
pose was "to teach school, etc.",
with the "etc." underlined three
times. Another has no particu-
lar purpose at present other than
to go "home to recuperate."

The time of expected return of
one senior was very expressively
stated in the short ejaculation
"ha!", and another plans to return
for "an alumnae meeting". One
of the most interesting things ob-
served on these sign-out slips,
however, was the chaperon of one
of the departing students. Some
wore going by car, some by train,
some with uncles, some with par-
ents, and some with friends, but
this individualist evidently prefer-
red her four-footed friends. She
had as her chaperon a grey-
hound!

FILLER

In a recent Agnes Scott class-
room discussion the students were
speculating on some of the big
problems of all-time namely,
good and evil. The professor had
succeeded in guiding the discus-
sion to some other field when a
hand was raised in the back of
the room:

N. Dendy: I'd like to get back
to evil, if you don't mind.

Miss Glick: (sorrowfully): Well,
we really do hate to see you go.

blow to parents that the tuition
was to be raised.

Second quarter stands out for
its suffering over majors: "which
will make me a better wife,"
"what do they need in New York,"
or more frequently, "which is the
easiest?" And it seemed at times
that even Pair-a-dice and phone
calls couldn't ease the agony of
211, 215, and life! We ordered
rings, discussed the honor system,
waited anxiously as always for
letters, and wrote to our war or-
phan Eric.

Suddenly we became politicians
and after fitful campaigning we
felt mighty satisfied with our re-
sults: Adele, sec. S. G., Sister,
treasurer, Dabney, recorder, Lou,
lower house and Lida as president
along with the other victorious
sophomores in every club! When
we elected Mary, Marybeth and
Nancy to May Court we realized
that the year was almost over.
And so it seemed was the war.
Dr. Posey and Dr. Robinson were
back and so were men enough
to fill Tech, Emory, and our date
books. The last year we had de-
cided that our lecturers couldn't
be beaten but this year we listen-
ed with excitement to Tucker
Brooke, Marquis Childs, Will
Howe. Howard Lowry, Robert
Frost, Emile Caillet, Reinhold
Niebuhr and John Mason Brown.

Juniors, fponsors, upperclass-
men! Even now that we spent al-
most more time off campus than
on, fifteen of the more prudent
of us made honor roll again.
Everyone was busy and everyone
it seemed, had an office. We spent
our sleeping moments divided be-
tween Rebekah. Main, Lupton,
Boyd and White House. Dancing
on campus, pins, rings, Miss Os-
borne's talks on charm brought
delighted applause from us all.

We were becoming "uncampus-
ed at last, the political situation in
Georgia had us on our toes,
speakers in all fields kept us up

to date with the help of mealtime
snatches at the news in Mortar
Board's reading room, and best of
all everyone was journeying far
from the reach to conventions,
tournaments, or just for more
glorious week-ends at universities.

"Club Scherezade" proved how
glamorous the gym and even we
can look and netted a staggering
sum for War Council from Junior
Joint. Dreamland reigned for one
night and memories of it carried
us on clouds until Junior Banquet.
Dates and dresses and dancing
on campus! Elections came and
now we knew that we were
really running the school. The ex-
citement over Mortar Board end-
ed happily when Pagie, Dabney,
Adele, Sister, Marybeth, Marian
and Margaret, Ruth, Lou, Tuck
Pris and Sheely were tapped.

Our class never looked prettier
than when Nancy, June, Mary-
beth and Mary represented us on
May Day. Screams and shouts
and ecstacy followed the an-
nouncement that we had won the
Class Spirit Cup. We puffed up
with pride when we heard that
Agnes Scott would be represented
by Marybeth on Mademoiselle.
Shellbound ended hilariously a
year that had brought to the cam-
pus Donald Miller, Herbert Agar,
Carl Sandburg, Louis Lockner,
Grace Overton, Henry Noble Mac-
Cracken, Robert Frost, Raymond
Mojley, Yashuo Kuniyoshi, and
Helen C. White.

This September we practically
arrived garbed in our gowns and
carrying the precious sheepskin
Soon we were disillusioned by our
short skirts in contrast to the
freshmen's stupendous "new look"
by 400 courses, and worries of
adulthood. But with achieved
nonchalance we managed to look
bored, unimpressed and impresi-
sivc through it all. Rides in the
cars of the Senior-elect erased
even the worries of jobs in June.

Little Girls' Day brought echoes
and reverberations of a problem

childhood which immediately sob-
ered with the arrival of families
for Investiture. Shaking, seized
with nervous giggles, scared and
proud at the same time, we all
managed to kneel in front of Miss
Scandett sans collapse and disas-
ter. Dr. Posey spoke to us in-

Democratic Ideals", and then Sun-
day morning Dr. Albert conduct-
ed our church service in Presser.

Being full fledged seniors we
wanted to do something impres-
sive and decided to elect Sister,
Dabney, Lida, Pagie, Adele, Pris,
Sheely, Marianna, Margaret and
Gregory to Who's Who in Ameri-
can Universities. Everyone at-
tended marriage classes, anfl the
silver displays and rings helped
make us envious of our more for-
tunate friends with their career
problems already solved. The last
visit to Dr. Jones in angel robes
marked the beginning of the end.

Worries of the necessary one
hundred eighty hours were push-
ed into the background with the
arrival of May Day. Marybeth
looked beautiful as Queen, as did
Nancy, her maid of honor, Mary,
Beth, and June. That night we
moved to Presser for the Senior-
politan presentation of a take-
off of La Boheme, "Four Sharps
and a Flat" which inaugurated
the college endowment drive.
Feeling proud we patted ourselves
on the back even harder after
the stupendous, colossal and mag-
nificent senior party.

When Dabney, Alice, Adele,
Nan, Mary Elizabeth, Sheely,
Ruth and Pagie made Phi Beta
Kappa we all wondered if we
shouldn't have studied a little
harder ourselves. A serious mo-
ment past, we raced headlong into
the series of graduation parties,
teas and showers, emerging worn
and insolvent but indestructable.
We concluded the years of elections
by choosing Dabney to serve as
life-time president and Adele as
secretary. The year seems even
more impressive when we look
back on Kurt von Schuschnigg,
Eugene Curti, Virgil Fox, Vera

These four years are dead and
gone

We've our date books to remind
us

And our scrapbooks linger on.
Life was real; life was earnest
Graduation was our aim
Frosh toward senior ever

yearning
Marking off each hour with pain.
Remember thru those ice cold

mornings
Ere the feeble sun was riz
On the radiator sat we
Read our lessons; nearly friz.
Came the challenge of the

Black Cat
Shivering in our loafers, stood.
Found that we had been

victorious
Now who'd-a-ever tho't we
would ?

How the profs were down upon us
Fail 'em, fail 'em was their cry
But we countered Hail 'em,

hail 'em ,
A re-exam before we die.
We re-examed, achieved our

soph-hood,
And then were we sophisticated
Studies were our smallest worry
And the cat we reinstated.
Pins and rings became the fashion
And for those less fortunate
Reared the ugly thought. Career!

Was for Junior Joint our theme
Gilded bathrobes were our

costumes
Sheherezade ' was our queen.
Then we built a better mousetrap
Conjured our class spirit up
Rallied round with songs and

rah-rahs
Made off with the spirit cup.
Came last fall we were the

seniors

Ah! the joys contemplated
One by one we filed thru Presser
Found ourselves Investurated.
Before into the homeward stretch
We made the final plunging jump
We up and gave a final spree
To show we had no senior slump.
Thru three weary quarters toiled
we

Wrinkles soon gave place to bags
Now with two weeks left before

Just look how our foots we drags.

Not to use a gun or knife
If you have an education
To heck with strife, live your life,

The Alumnae Association invit-
ed us to become members and
senior exams- were upon us. The
few hours of terror after each
exam waiting for the fateful
phone call of regret and then our
academic days were over. The last
trip to Atlanta, the last date, and
the last shoe in the trunk and
we are ready to leave four years
that we loved. The last page is
torn off the calendar and the
story, the birth and metamor-
phoses of the Class of 1948 is
transformed today from ancient
history into .current events.
