Renovations and New Buildings
Culminate Summer Projects

By Marie Woods

- Agnes Scott has begun the realization of plans for expand-
ed equipment with renovation and building du/ring the sum-
mer months.

The renovation of Rebekah Scott hall, which included re-
decoration and new furnishings for the dormitory space
and repairs for the entire build-

ing, including the dining room,
.was completed in time for the
opening of the fall quarter at a
cost of $75,000, approximately one
third more than the original cost
of the building.

Now under construction in the
woods near Harrison Hut, is the
new observatory, which will be
completed about January 1. Ex-
cavation for the foundation went
down 50 feet in order to find solid
rock on which to base the tele-
scope.

The steps leading to the Frances
Winship Walters Infirmary, dedi-
cated at commencement, were
completed during the summer, and

work begun on the lawn In front
of the building, which is to be the
Winship Garden, named in honor
of Mrs. Walters, who gave the in-
firmary, and George Winship,
chairman of the board of trus-
tees.

Other work included the redec-
oration of the old infirmary, now
Mary Sweet cottage, which is
named for Dr.' Mary Sweet, long
time school physician, and of
Gaines cottage, which has been
moved to face South Candler
street.

The next project, which will be
the building of a new dining hall,
will begin with the contract let-
ting this week.

Deadline Details

You've probably heard it a lot this year, Frosh, but after
all, you're pretty important people on campus so how about
letting the News staff add a word of welcome, too?

We can't tell you of a cure for homesickness, or how to roll
up your hair in the dark, but we do feel qualified to offer a
few words of advice on making deadlines. There'll be a lot
of them at Agnes Scott. You'll probably have a book report,
a quiz, and practice for Black Cat all on the same day!

From experience, we don't advise waiting until ten o'clock
the night before to think about them. Although a good
night's sleep is good for a history quiz the next day, you won't
dream the answer to "Who killed Abe Lincoln?".

Most of all, don't get panicky! You'll make it if you
hurry a little! D. M.

Vice-President Bartlett Picnics
With Mrs. F.D.R. at Vol Kill

By Joann Peterson

Imagine haying a picnic chat with Eleanor Roosevelt
while being seated by her on a cozy, old log outside her pri-
vate home at that! Our Charlotte Bartlett says it's a most
interesting and exciting experience. Charlotte is still ex-
claiming over the "gracious, charming, and wonderfully

homelike" Mrs. Roosevelt since
her visit to the ex first lady's Val
Kill (which means Brook in the
Mountains.)

Many of our Agnes Scotters
spent wonderful summers at home
and abroad, but Charlotte's six
weeks at Leadership Training
School was among the best. This
is where her visit to Val Kill
came in. All of the school's pupils
sat around Mrs. Roosevelt Char-
lotte explained but "Somehow I
managed to kinda' wiggle around
and sit right by her." She con-
fessed this with a little giggle
but with her eyes shining at the
memory. s (And just to be sure you
are convinced she brought the
picture along for proof.)

Charlotte was impressed with
Mrs. F. D. ,R.'s simplicity: she
was dressed in plain seersucker
skirt, white blouse, sneakers and
socks for the picnic.

Of course, the famous hostess'
conversation was the highlight of
the day. She entertained her
guests with political, religious,
philosophic conversation, and fin-
ally more trivial chit chat about
home. She spoke of her faith in
the United Nations with its great-
est hope that of promoting un-
derstanding and goodwill by be-
ing able to talk things over to-
gether.

Eleanor Roosevelt referred to
the late president only once with
the remark "My husband always
said righteous indignation never
hurt anyone."

The great lady was quite lov-
able in her obvious affection for
her family, Charlotte thought.
She told many humerous stories
about the children such as the
one about her little grandson
boasting about his newly acquir-
ed "southern brawl."

So Charlotte has returned to
school with memories of a day
spent with Eleanor Roosevelt
and the conviction that being out
on a limb isn't so bad after all
if you happen to be out on it with
Mrs. F. D. R.

Portuguese Award
Miss Cilley Medal

Because of her work advancing
Portuguese culture in the United
States, Miss Melissa Cilley, as-
sistant professor of Spanish, re-
ceived this summer a medal
from the government of Portu-
gal.

Dr. A. Ferreira, consular rep-
resentative of the Portuguese gov-
ernment, presented the medal,
which bears the coat of arms of
Portugal, in a ceremony at Cam-
bridge, Massachusetts.

Miss Cilley, who has taught at
the National university at Coim-
bra, Portugal, is conducting ori-
ginal research in Portuguese lit-
erature. She spent the past sum-
mer studying original manuscripts
now in the possession of Harvard
University.

Ch inese Students Tell of Home,
Describe Communist Invasion

By Marjorie Orr

"China is at war" . . . "Ave Maria" . . . Helen Chiu's ex-
pressive contralto voice played upon few words, but struck
concertos of thought.

She did not understand all the questions asked about her
home, Peiping, China. One statement, however, seemed to
cover the conditions, the life, and

the new communist government.
"China is at war." That made a
very full description spoken in
Chinese accents. In regard to her
family, Helen's English was more
than adequate. She hasn't heard
from them during the two months
she has been in the United States,
for the communists allow no mail
to pass in and out of their terri-
tory. She was told a letter might
reach them if she sent it to Hong
Kong to be transferred to Nan-
king (that's close to home.)

A delegate to the U. N., her
father's best friend, recommended
Agnes Scott to Helen. Two years
here will complete her education,
and then she hopes to go back
to Peiping and teach.

When she mentioned being a
voice student, an old song book
was hunted up. A little thumbing
revealed "Ave Maria". She sang
a few bars familiarly, lovingly.

We then headed across campus
to meet our other student from
China. Boyd resudefots drifted
back to Norma Wang's room to
hear her tell about her home in
Shanghai. Norma was teaching
in the Union Girls school not far
from Shanghai a few months be-
fore she came to Agnes Scott. The
school was called "Union" because
the Presbyterian and Baptist
churches supported it.

The communists' approach fin-
ally made her leave the school
and return home. Then Shanghai
became precarious for her, and
she went to Hong Kong hoping to
obtain a visa to the United States.
She was afraid to notify her fam-
ily directly of her trip to the States
after Shanghai fell. Her cable
to them read "Am going to school
on a ship". They understood.

Norma's desire to learn English
opened the way for her to come
here. About three years before
she graduated from high school,
English was discarded in the
schools and Japanese taught in its
place. She heard of the Commun-
ity Church in Shanghai ( where
English was taught and spoken.
Norma became a member of this
non-denominational Christian
church. The minister's wife

C. A. Vespers
To Offer Talk
By C. McCain

Charles McCain, son of Presi-
dent James R. McCain, will be the
guest speaker at vespers Sunday.

Mr. McCain, who has been
studying at the University of Ed-
inburgh and traveling in Europe
and the near East, will talk on
his experiences and observations
to the regular group of students
and faculty, and also special
guests from Emory, Georgia Tech,
and Columbia Seminary, who will
be invited through their Christian
associations.

The devotional program will be
at 6:45 p. m. in Murphy Candler
and will be followed by a social
with refreshments and recreation.

Vesper programs later in the
year will include devotionals,
speakers, and the snack suppers
which were initiated last year.

knew Dr. Hugh S. Bradley in De-
catur. She wrote him about Nor-
ma, and thus it was arranged for
her to come to Agnes Scctt.

Norma expects to return and
teach in the Union Girls' school.

Campus Hears
Arts Recital
In Presser Hall

By Harriot Ann McGulre

Thursday night, Sept. 22 the
new students at Agnes Scott were
introduced to some of the talent-
ed members of their school, when
the students presented a music
and speech program.

Frances Morris opened the re-
cital with a brilliant organ selec-
tion, "March, in E Flat", by Read.
Delicate shading and tone qual-
ity were outstanding in her tech-
nique.

The reading, "That Old Sweet-
heart of Mine" was well present-
ed by LaWahna Ridgon. She cap-
tured the sentimental mood which
the author, Riley, revealed through
poetry.

Charity Bennett sang the "Pre-
lude" and "Down in the Forest"
from Ronalds' "A Cycle of Life."
She was poised and she endnciat-
ed words clearly.

Webster's "The Gypsy Trail"
was a unique reading given by
Adelaide Ryall. She captured the
audiences' attention from the very
beginning through her character
portrayal.

The program ended as brilliant-
ly as it began, with a two-piano
selection by Joann Wood and Mr.
Dieckmann. Typical Bach, the
"Fugue in G-Minor" began with a
simple theme and developed into
an intricate pattern of melodies,
and ended with brilliant chords.

Every member of .the junior

All that the poor lass could say
was, "This is just as exciting as
getting an engagement ring."

Opening Week Is Huge Rush
For Aggie, Rushing Rushees

By Harriot Ann

Hi, kids! Summer's over and here we are beginning our college
social life anew and beginning it with a bang, too. The upper class-
men have picked up where they left off last spring and the frosh are
making a fresh start.

In keeping with rush for registration, we are rushing for Tech and
Emory Tech and Emory are rushing us, I mean.

One of the unique parties at Emory was given by the Phi Delts
Saturday night. The brothers carried out the French theme by wear-
ing apache costumes. Jane Hook, Dottie Allison, Betty Cheney, Emy
Evans, and Betty Averill all enjoyed the house dance.

The Tech chapter, not to be outdone by Emory, had a rush func-
tion, too. Jackie Sims, Betty McLeUan, and Katherine Amick had
a good time there, they said.

Our frosh charmed the Tech A. T. O. house Saturday. The boys
dressed in L'il Abner costumes to the amusement of Georgiana>
Buckanan, Constance Byrd, Aline Hight, Margaret Hooker, Frances
Cook, Carol Edwards, Mary Catherine Lindsey, Doris Clingman, Ann
Jones, Jean Junker, Barbara Barber, Jean Hansen, and Diane Morris.

Jane Oliver, sponsor of the A. T. O.'s at Emory, introduced many
of her colleagues to the chapter. Those at the rush party Saturday
night were Gene Cantrell, Jinnie Brewer, Phillis Golf in, Betty Hol-
land, Ann Cooper, Rene Dudley, Peggy Anne Harper, Belle Miller,
Mary Ruffer, Betty Anne Green, Lorry Wanamaker, Frances Cook,
and Gayle Harbour. Lucky rushees!

The Emory Sigma Chis turned their chapter house into a night
club in honor of their rushees and Agnes Scott. Seen dancing there
were Charity Bennett, Joanne Peterson (naturally) and sister Sue.
Hungry for barbecue? Mattie Hart says you should have gone to the*
Delta Tau's rush party Saturday night.

They say there was a lot of monkey business at the S. A. E. circus
on the Emory campus Saturday night. For details see Dechy Arm-
strong, Roberta Williams, Ann Green and Lyd Gardner.

What list of southern fraternities is complete without the K. A.'s?
At Emory they entertained with a house dance on Saturday night and
an open house the next day. Betty Moon and Carol Lou Jacob attend-
ed. Agnes Scott went en masse to the Tech house: June Carpenter,
Jayne Puckett, Helen Land, Pat Gleaton, Martha Norton, Doris Cling-
man, and Taffy Mearle. (Your editor was the obliging chaperone).
Betty Moon is "K A razy" about her new pin.

Others sporting pins are La Belle David, a new Sigma Chi sweet-
heart, and Lou Floyd, who has a Theta Chi Pin.

Play by Play

A. A. Offers Full Sport Year
To Participants, Spectators

By Marguerite Jackson

Welcome back, upperclassmen and to you freshmen, wel-
come! Did you have a summer full of swimming, tennis, golf
and all the other sports you didn't have time to enjoy during
school last year; If not, you still have plenty of time. Athletic
association has three quarters of team, individual and class
sports planned just for you.

First on the list is hockey, the
major team sport of fall quar-
ter. October 14, the freshmen
play the sophomores and the ju-
niors meet the seniors in the first
game of the
season. And
Frosh, although
you aren't elig-
ible for mem-
bership in the
different clubs
you can play on
your class
team.

Swimm ing
and tennis "not
mtm for credit" can
be arranged. The lower courts
will also be available to those not
enrolled in gym classes. Tourna-
ments in two now-on-campus
sports are in the planning stage.
The events and details will be an-

nounced as soon as final plans are
completed.

On the social side, A. A. is brew-
ing a party to come off in late
October for you freshmen.

Even if you are interested in
athletics only as a spectator, Ath-
letic association and Student Gov-
ernment have a place for you.
Each spring the latter awards a
cup to the class with the most
class spirit. And you can help
your class win it. Attendance to
athletic events counts heavily to-
wards determining the victor. You
may never have played the game,
you may not know the rules, but
you can come out and yell with
and for your team.

We'll be expecting to see you on
Fridays when the referee's whistle
blows on the hockey field, the bas-
ketball court or the softball di-
amond.

Frosh, Sophs
Nominate
Stunt Leaders

The class of 1953 will nominate
their Black Cat stunt chairman
on Sept. 28. Pep, leadership, in-
itiative and dependability are
stressed in the nomination. The
election will be on Sept. 30.

Also slated for the 28th are the
tirtyauts for the freshmen and
sophomore cheerleaders. These
tryouts will be at 1:20 p. m. at
pep meetings held in Inman for
the freshmen, and Murphy Cand-
ler for the sophomores. The elec-
tion will take place in chapel on
the 30th.

Faculty to Introduce
New Letter System

The faculty has voted to use
the letter system in the an-
nouncement of grades rather than
the merit system used in the past.

S. Guerry Stukes, registrar,
stated that the letter system has
always been in effect here at Ag-
nes Scott. He said that the change
was not in the system of grading,
but in the system of announcing
grades.

The only change, however, is
that the numerical value of the
letter B will be three points lower.

chalantly eating the extra cheese.

Delegates Report on Activities
At NSA's Congress in Urbana

By Charlotte Key

Point of information . . . point of personal privilege . . .
the question has already been moved, there can be no more
discussion ... but I have a point of order, Mr. Chairman, a
point of order!! .... it must be a nightmare or so Noel and
I thought at our first encounter with Roberts (Rules of Order,
that is) at the opening plenary

session of the National Student
Association Congress in August.
However, we regained our respect
for Roberts when we realized what
a madhouse the meeting would be
if 700 of us tried to talk at the
same time.

When we arrived at the Univer-
sity of Illinois at Urbana, we were
led into an almost-palace called
the Illini Union building com-
plete with a ballroom, several din-
ing rooms, bowling alley, and pool
tables! Then we hurried over to
the Men's (yes, I did say Men's)
Residence Hall and went in!
in fact, we lived there. After we
had hiked the ten blocks to meals
a few times, though, we were al-
most ready to pitch a tent on the
quadrangle.

Orientation came next, and we
discovered that the Congress was
to divide into small groups to dis-
cuss and learn, to' formulate poli-
cies for the coming year of the
association,' and to outline pro-
gram. In other words, we were
there to work; and work we did
from 8:30 a. m. to as late as 3:30
a. m.

Noel and I went to different
commissions. She put in her two
bits in the roundtable on human
relations and I was in the com-
mittee on constitutional revision.
We found in our roundtables, as
in the Congress as a whole, that
Agnes Scott was in the majority
in its thinking on racial problems
and most other issues. We were

very pleased when the policy by-
laws about which we were uncer-
tain were taken out of the con-
stitution entirely instead of being
made an integral part as we fear-
ed.

Although most of the real work
was done in the smaller commis-
sion and committee groups, all de-
cisions had to pass the plenary
session of the entire Conress. In
all meetings during the congress
period, we found that a small
school can have influence far out
of proportion to its size. The only
thing that determined who was
to speak was one's speed of climb-
ing over people and dashing to a
microphone.

It must be said that the plenary
sessions usually got off to a rous-
ing start. Besides the songs of the
various regions, the favorite of the
entire Congress was "God Bless
Free Enterprise" quite a work
of art. It was remarkable how
starting with singing helped
everyone to disagree more 'calm-
ly. We elected some capable na-
tional officers at the last meeting
with Robert Kelly of the New Jer-
sey region heading the list as
president.

It was in the regional caucuses
that we made some of the more
definite plans for this year. The
GAF (Georgia, Alabama, Florida)
region has as its main project for
the year promotion of the Pur-

Fernando Germani to Present
Concert in Presser Tomorrow

The Italian organist, Fernando Germani, will present a re-
cital tomorrow night at 8:00 p. m. in Presser Hall. He is on
a transcontinental tour of the United States and is being pre-
sented to the Atlanta area under the sponsorship of the Geor-
gia Chapter of the American Guild of Organists.

Germani, born and trained in
Rome, is at present chief organist
of Saint Peters of Rome, the same
post held 300 years ago by Giro-
lamo Frescobaldi, who was then
known as "The Prince of Music".

He has made many concert
tours in Italy, England, Germany,
Switzerland, the United States
and Canada, appearing in straight
organ recitals. Besides, he has
been booked as guest artist with
the following world famous or-
chestras: Augusteo Orchestra,
Florence Orchestra, Rome Radio
Orchestra, Tirin Orchestra, Lon-
don Symphony, London BBC Or-
chestra, New York Symphony So-
ciety, and the Philadelphia Sym-
phony.

For two years Germani was
head of the Organ Department
at the Curtis Institute of Music
in Philadelphia.

Besides his concerts in his own
country, Germani recently has ap-
peared at several music festivals
in Europe, such as Frankfort and
Lucerne.

In the field of composition, he

Truth Guides the News

Just what do you think a college newspaper should print?

At intercollegiate conferences this summer, representa-
tives from Agnes Scott found out what some other schools
think about the function of their papers, and the reports they
brought back were sometimes surprising.

In some institutions, for instance, the editorial policy and
selection of material is dictated by the administration or the
student government. At one California school, the student
government association regards the paper as one of its de-
partments and reserves the right to "hire or fire" the editor;
at another, the publication serves only as a bulletin for the
student government activities; at still others, the faculties ex-
ercise censorship over all copy to be published.

The Agnes Scott News, like the other campus organiza-
tions, is independent and subject only to the guidance of the
restrictions which guide the entire college. It is the spokes-
man for the entire campus community, and as such, tries to
cover campus activities and interests, and present opinions on
important issues. In all of this, The News feels it is a better
policy for both school and paper to print facts and opinions
as they are, guided only by the standards of truth, good jour-
nalism, and good taste. M. W.

C. A. President Dodges Traffic
In English, French Capitals

By Joann Peterson

Even though Ann Williamson spent six weeks of her sum-
mer doing hard physical labor in a European work camp, our
C. A. president's vacation was by no means all work and no
play. Two whole weeks of her stay were devoted to "Seeing
Europe" and what wonderful weeks they were!

It all began on June 15 when , , . , . ,

quired the tea habit which she

likes so well that she's continuing
the custom at home. (So, girls,
just drop by 209 Rebecca almost
any afternoon if you'd like to join
Ann for tea.)

Perhaps, most of all "being an
English major," Ann was thrilled
and awed by Westminster Abbey
where she saw the graves of
Chaucer, Keats, Dickens, Words-
worth, and Shakespeare.

After leaving London, Ann
toured Paris where she really was
knocked down by hundreds of
quaint looking little models, af-
ter just learning the Englishmen's
driving habits.

But if you'd like to hear about
Ann's impressions of Gay Parie,
just wait 'til next week's column
or, try to catch her in a few
free moments and start talking
about Europe. It will be only a
matter of minutes 'til you'll be
plotting a trip next summer to
see it all for yourself.

the Queen Elizabeth set sail as
Ann stood on deck with a lump
in her throat and her beautiful
brown eyes fixed intently on the
Statue of Liberty until it disap-
peared from sight. After five days
of walking the deck with Sara
Jane (who luckily was Europe-
bound on the same ship) and ten
other friends, Ann found herself
in London.

Here she was soon impressed
with Big Ben, Buckingham Palace,
St. Paul's Cathedral and after
two or three close calls, with "the
heavy traffic all running the
wrong way." The first night in
town she decided to become more
skilled in the use of European
money after the taxi driver charg-
ed her the equivalent of four dol-
lars for a 75 cent ride.

During her stay in London she
and Sara Jane plied the bobbies
with countless questions "because
they were so cute and polite in
their answers." Here too she ac-

Emory Attracts Feature Editor
As Shyness Inhibits Students

By Cissie Spiro

One week is over! I have been to eight classes at Emory
University! I am a veteran . . .

All summer long I eagerly awaited the day when I could
register in the Emory library to become (pardon the expres-
sion, please) a CO-ED. The lucky day arrived, and to my dis
appoinment all I had to do was

to hand in two slips and leave.
Back I came to old Decatur for I
had not yet escaped * the distaff
world.

Tuesday morning was the first
day of classes at the School for
Gentlemen so I boarded the 10:22
bus and headed for the Church
School Building.

I thought that my philosophy
class was in room 236 so I climbed
up to the second floor, and there
I found the hall lined with gentle-
men. I smiled pleasantly to one
and in my best Yankee manner
asked, "Where is room 236,
please?" He drawled, "Way down
thar to the right." I went as far
to the right as I could but there
was no 236. The eyes of Georgia
were upon me so I asked again.
"Oh," (he drawled, too). "All the
way to the left." Eventually after
using MY best drawl I found that
Philosophy 201 was in room 36,
and that there is no room 236 in
the whole building.

I entered room 36 and found
four boys scattered all over the

were 34 boys in the room but
there was a circle of empty seats
around a little female in the sec-
ond row. Alas there I sat until
all the other seats were taken and
some boy HAD to sit next to me.

I decided to be more careful in
chosing 8l seat for my next class
so I waited outside until a victim
went in and put his books down
and then came out again. Ah ha!
In I (went and parked next to him.
Much to my amazement they had
assigned a gigantic room to only
eleven students and everyone else
was spread out except this little
(6'2") KA and I who were sitting
together.

It took three days for the stu-
dent body to talk to "the little
lady from Agnes Scott," but now
they are most friendly. Believe
it or not one actually asked my
name. Who knows what will hap-
pen next week ... Oh the grand

wife away would have to do it
over his dead body!

Aggie s Busy Signal Proves
Date Packed Rush Weekend

By Harriot Ann

Operator, give me Main 1950, please. Hello, Agnes? Hey! what's
buzzin' ? Huh ? You're going out ? Well, surely you've got a minute to
talk you want to be late anyway, you know. I've got so much to
tell you, I don't know where to begin.

You know that party I told you I was going to Saturday night, well,
am I glad I went! Those Sigma Chis can really show you a good time.

They had games and dancing in the living room,
and the basement was all fixed up like the Hall
of Horrors. You should have seen the lawn there
were barkers and everything to look like the "Sig
County Fair." I saw Charity Bennet and Jean
Kline at the bingo table.

"Hello, Central, Give Me a Line"

Isabel Truslovv told me about the wonderful Rose
dance that the Beta's at Tech gave Saturday night.
All the rushees had rose boutonnieres and the
queen of the party was presented with a bouquet
of roses.

Talk about rushin' around my mother will be
glad when these rush weeks are over. I'm never at home any more.
The Emory Theta Chis made a week-end of it. On Friday night there
was a house dance and Saturday night a "Rustic party at Jink's
home".

Haven't You Heard? She's Pinned

I'm running out of clothes to wear and who has time to wash and
iron these days! Thank goodness the S. A. E.'s had a barn party, so
I could wear blue jeans. That was one gay party, too. Fritz Orr's
is a swell place to have a frat party. You'll never guess who I saw
there . . . Sara Sammonds, Anne Kincaid, Susan Hancock, Ditty Sells,
and just loads of frosh, too.

Oh, that operator wants the line! Maybe we can talk just a little
longer. I simply must tell you about all of the pins on campus. You
know Norah Anne Little? Well, she's pinned and Jean Osborn, and,
ummm Jessie Carpenter. Margaret Lumpkin got pinned Friday
night. Joyce Rives got pinned on the ferris wheel at the Fair. Isn't
that exciting?

I'm Simply "Crazy" About Those Phi Delts

I wish I had something on my third finger left hand besides this
high school ring. Wonder if I'll ever be as lucky as Dot Davis or
Joan Wood. School teachin' here I come*

Agnes, if I sound a little odd to you, it's just that I 'haven't fully
recovered from the Insane Party that the Phi Delts had at Emory
Saurday night. Even Abnormal Psych, wasn't like that! That cer-
tainly was a crazy party. Charlotte Bartlett, Betty Cheney, Ann
Cope, Dotty Allison, Nancy DeArmond and Neil Floyd all were there.

Gimmie That Good 'Ole Mountain Music

My roommate said she saw you at the Barn dance the Tech Phi
Delts gave Friday night. Ann McLeod, Catherine Redles, Pat Patter-
son, Millie Allison, and Louise Jett know where to go for a good time,
don't they? They transformed their house from a barn to a Cascino
for Saturday night, I heard.

Oh, I forgot to tell about the Harvest Ball Saturday night. I
couldn't go, but Jane Puckett said that the Tech S. A. E.'s lived up
to their reputation of showing everyone a grand evening. Jane saw
Ann Parker, Pat Cortilyou, Dittie Sells, Ann Herman, June Carpen-
ter, and Margaretta Lumpkin there.
See You in The Funny Papers

Sure would like to go to the Chi Phi house sometime. They went
back to the hills Friday night and Carol Solomon, Adelaide Ryall,
Florence Worthy, Jane Hill, and Betty Jane Sharpe went donned in
blue jeans.

I nearly forgot to tell you what I called for don't forget to read
Vanity Fair in the News Wednesday!

NSA Report

(Continued from page 1)

chase Card System and spread-
ing the word about NSA to other
colleges. We elected Roy Wiggins,
Emory university, the new region-
al president; and Noel and stu-
dents from Alabama College and
the University of Miami, vice pres-
idents.'

Among other people, events, and
attitudes at the Congress, we
were impressed by the cordial
welcome we were given by Helen
Jean R,ogers, former national sec-
retary who was on campus last
year, \he panel on the college
press and student government,
which made us realize how much
freedom the Agnes Scott News
has compared with other
college newspapers, the panel of
representatives from national un-
ions of students of other coun-
tries, the discussion of the amount
and kind of co-operation to have
with the International Union of
Students, the ABC and CBS
broadcasts from the Congress, and
the film about the Tri-Nation tour
NSA sponsored this summer and
will continue in a more extensive
form next year. We profited a
great deal by our individual con-
versations with students from
"ofld NSA-member schools ahd
,with delegates to the association's
constitutional convention two
years ago.

But the Congress was not all
work. During the ten days, there
were the picnic at a magnificent
estate someone had recently giv-
en the University, a reception and
dance, and bicycling, and sight-
seeing. The high spot of the Con-
gress, though, was the banquet
the last night. We knew we had
really grown from the feelings of
uncertainty and suspicion of the
first days of the Congress to one
of friendship and understanding
and the recognition of our unity
of spirit as students of this na-
tion as we sang together and ap-
plauded the good work done by
the retiring officers.

A. A. Board to Honor Frosh
At Informal Party, Oct. 22

By Marguerite Jackson

Frosh, October 22 is your "big
date" excluding, of course, Black
Cat.

After two weeks, already pass-
ed, of orientation crammed with
placement tests," physical examin-
ations, handbook classes, and
generally getting acquainted, you
are now well adapted to the rou-
tine of college and ready for its
social life.

Black Cat winner is a "fore-
gone conclusion"; all your out-
side assignments for class are up,
and the letters back home are du-
tifully completed. There's noth-
ing left to fill in the picture ex-
cept to meet some of "those won-
derful Tech guys or grand Emory
fellows" that your sponsors have
been talking about.

And the place to find them is
at A. A.'s party exclusively for
freshmen on October 22.

Athletic association is cooper-
ating with Cotillion club again this
year in sponsoring "date" func-
tions to introduce your Agnes
Scott's newest class, to young men
in and around Atlanta.

Frosh, you will be allowed to
attend either the athletic board's
informal party or the dance club's
fulldress affair the following
week. A. A. and Cotillion will
notify you through the News and
the bulletin board about the time
and place for both events. In the
meantime, draw a big circle
around October 22. It may be
the night you will meet the man of
your dreams. ,

Book Contest
Will Reward
Best Library

To promote interest in reading
and discriminating book collect-
ing, the Louise McKinney book
award is each year presented to
the student who, in the opinion of
the committee, has acquired "the
most .interesting and discriminat-
ing personal library and who re-
veals real understanding of her
books."

The $25 award, which is pre-
sented at commencement, is giv-
en as a memorial to Miss McKin-
ney, professor emeritus of Eng-
lish. The contest period extends
from May to May and contestants
may enter by giving their names
to members of the English De-
partment by the end of fall
quarter.

Requirements include acquisi-
tion of at least fifteen books,
which may be inexpensive or sec-
ond hand editions, and the con-
test will be judged on the discrim-
ination of the collections and on
an informal interview with faculty
members. The collection may in-
clude books concerning one spec-
ial, field of interest or several
fields. It may contain gifts, but
should show the owner's personal
taste.

Miss Janef Preston, assistant
professor of English, is chairman
of the committee.

Public Lecture Association
To Bring Warburg to ASC

By Ellen Hull

"The Citizens Participation in a Free Society" is to be the
subject of a lecture brought to Agnes Scott's campus next
month by Mr. James P. Warburg, famed author, economist,
and expert on international affairs. Brought by the Public
Lecture Association of Agnes Scott College. Mr. Warburg will
gpeak in Presser Hall at 8:30 p. m.

book, "Last Call For Common
Sense", is now available in the
Agnes Scott Library.

Students will be given the op-
portunity to decide whether they
would prefer to have the Margar-
et Webster Shakespeare Company
present "The Taming of the
Shrew" or "Julius Caesar" here
in January. In the spring, Mr.
H. S. Ede, an English art critic
formerly connected with the Tate
Gallery in London, will be pre-
sented.

on Friday, Nov. 4, the night pre-
ceding Investiture.

Mr. Warburg has had experi-
ence in the world tof finance
through a banking career of over
16 years, as a member of Presi-
dent Roosevelt's first "Brain
Trust," and as the Financial Ad-
visor of the United States Delega-

Private Eye Stares at Plight-
Missing Bacon at Bacon Bat

By Calico

This is on the Q. T but

You should have been a fly on the wall at the faculty bacon
bat Saturday night. Even though there was no bacon (eco-
nomic conditions of the country, you know) there was apple-
sauce, chicken, and more applesauce.

So much food surely did put us

"old fogies" in a good mood.
"Veep" Alston outdid himself as
master of ceremonies announcer
of the broadcasting station of the
night, that is. Of course we did
get a little lost at times before he
got to the end of some lo-o-ong
sentences with their numerous
adjectives.

Then there was Roberta Winter.
You students would have loved
her talk. She quoted test papers
to prove that tests are useless!
"They merely confuse the issue,"
she said, for so often the two "au-
thorities" involved disagree.

For music we heard some bar-

bershop renditions by the Apple-
jacks (alias Cartledge, Garber,
Hayes, and Johnson) and songs
by Duffie, who played her ukelele
as accompaniment.

The funniest thing, though
frightening at first was the way
Stukes almost broke his chair
laughing when Calder excused
himself from the group, saying
he could not do justice to the
chicken bones in public.

Of course there are some things
I could add, but I don't want you
to lose all of that "hero worship"
with which you regard us, your
"dignified" faculty members.

A Successful Eighth ? ?

If Agnes Scott had never had a campaign, White House
would still be all of Agnes Scott. But we've had seven cam-
paignsseven SUCCESSFUL campaigns!

The eighth such fund-raising campaign Dr. McCain's last
is in full swing. There are only 73 more days until Christ-
mas, and there are only 80 days until the failure of the
campaign unless the campus wakes up to the fact that a
great deal of money must be pledged.

The goal is high. Agnes Scott still lacked $225,000 in gifts
and pledges at the official count on September 15. The sit-
uation has reached the critical stage.

The campus reached its goal in pledges last fall. We even
doubled the goal. We are resting on our laurels. And if we
live in the glory of a job well done two more months, the
campaign will fail.

Alumnae groups all over the United States are exerting
every effort to reach their goal, and Dr. McCain and the ad-
ministration have lived up to their titles of businessmen and
diplomats. We've dug deep into our own and our parents
pockets, but we still have $225,000 to raise.

In an open letter to the students, Dr. McCain said that the
real question is a What is my own part in this great cause?"
We ask, was it to help reach the campus goal, or is it to help
reach the ultimate goal the one that pays off?

All around us are the outward signs of growth at Agnes
Scott since the Decatur Female Seminary opened with four
teachers and 63 students in 1889. We have gone over the top
in the building fund project of the campaign. But a plot of
land and beautiful buildings do not make a college.

There must be an inner strength that is stronger than the
strongest building. This is where we are about to fail. In
order to advance the intangible, the intellectual Agnes Scott,
more endowments, more pledges are needed for faculty
salaries.

Two months from now the pledges must be in, even though
the money may be paid as late as the end of 1950. Two
months from now we will rejoice in success, or despair in
failure. D. M.

Day Dreams Come True

I spent the night in the day student rooms last night. And
I didn't have to walk across a dark campus to a dark house to
get there.

Instead I slept in Room 401 in Main. The pipes didn't
clank, the bells rang conveniently in the morning to wake me
up, and I didn't get the least bit lonesome.

Last year we made appeals through this column for help
for the day students. And this year we'd like to thank the
powers that be for the improvements they've made.

I even heard that the new lockers for the Buttrick Day
Student room have arrived! D. M.

Campus Slips

Overheard in the News room:
Dr. Alston has such a soft shoul-
der that I think we ought to call
him the Prince of Wails.

Also overheard there: After the
resignation of assistant editor
Feddeman, assistant editor Woods
seeing visions of many more
sleepless week-ends, mutters
"Rest in peace."

The News room was really
jumping last week-end. When
assistant editor Woods came out
on the bottom end of an argu-
ment with editor Medlock, said
Marshall, "We've got to use psy-
chology on that gal." Answered
Woods, "Yeah, CHILD psychol-
ogy."

We wish this had come from
Agnes Scott, but it didn't. Dean:
"This kissing going on under my

Advice To The Frosh

Gather good grades while ye may,
The second year is tougher;

For this same prof that smiles to-

Tomorrow will be rougher.

That year is best which is the

When student and prof are

It's not until he knows the worst
That you're in any danger.

ASC Offers Test of True Love
As 'Knight' Tries To Win Lady

By Helen Edwards

Any way, girls, you know it's true love.

Like the knight who had to scale the glass mountain to win
his lady fair, the young swain from Tech or Emory finds
himself confronted by many a slip before he wins his Agnes
Scott lady, fair or unfair. The Decatur campus this last
week-end was a better proving
ground than any fiery dragon or
bottomless moat for testing even
the slickest line-shooter.

For instance. A freshman had
a date for the football game, and
her date had a car. We see what
she meant by her description of
his personality "four-wheeled,"
she said. That meant that some
poor senior would have to go to
the football game and meet a
Tech senior rather than spend the
afternoon in the stacks. How-
ever, while making her way over
to the library to see who she could
wheedle into such an experience,
the freshman met a senior who
was going to the game and who
assured her that there would be
plenty of room in her date's car,
since he ALWAYS came alone.

Whereupon the date rambled up
in a wreck bulging with eight

of the same species.

In the meantime, the freshman v s
date had given his car to two fra-
ternity brothers. However, be-
ing good sports, they both took
a deep breath and squeezed into
the bulging car. Everything went
well (even the car, since it was
more downhill than up) until the
freshman and her date decided
they would fare better if they be-
gan breathing. So they were
dumped on the Briarcliff corner
and caught a bus to the game/

But that was not all. One more
obstacle. The freshman's date
was seen at seven o'clock on the
steps of Main waiting for "the
brothers" to return with his car.

And, believe it or not, they have

Halo Surveys European Tour;
Finds Food, Folks Superlative

By Joann Peterson

The Halo carried us through London last week with C. A.'s
president, Ann Williamson. This week we will go to Paris.

In contrast with the stable atmosphere of London, Ann
found Paris gayer, more sophisticated and teeming with lit-
erally thousands of Americans. Upon arrival Ann immedi-

ately bought Parisian berets and
canvas shoes with cushioned
soles; she soon discovered that all
American tourists could be rec-
ognized by their "Parisian" ber-
ets and canvas shoes.

In several days' time Ann had
"gotten a taste of night life in the
Bohemian section of Paris" and
had become fascinated by the fab-
ulous sidewalk cafes.

"French food is out of this
world," Ann declared. Her favor-
ite French meal was chicken
broiled in wine sauce at the Pal-
ais Royal, a big park out from
Paris.

"And just imagine," she contin-
ued, "steaks are about the cheap-
est food you can buy there."

Ann is still breathless over the
magnificent opera house in Paris.
It was filled with crystal, elegant

red plush, tremendous stage, and
boxes "even in the gallery."

From France, Ann traveled to
Switzerland. Here she found "just
everything under the sun." Her
stay in Geneva was wonderful be-
cause of its entrancing shop win-
dows and its "lovely, neat, polite
people."

Next stop on the agenda was
"Fabulous Italy."

The time here was filled with
such varied sights as the Last
Supper in Milan and the Ledo, the
Coney Island of Venice. Florence,
Ann's favorite spot in Italy, was
friendly but depressing because
of its dirty, hungry people. There
are hundreds of unemployed there.

In Rome Ann was filled with a
deep sense of awe at the cata-
combs as she thought of all the
people who had walked there.

MLLE Begins
Board Contest

Now is the time to "Board" the
Mademoiselle College contest. The
magazine has opened its annual
contest for College Board Mem-
bers and Guest Editors for 1950.

The entrance requirements are
a trial report on any new phase of
college life, a snapshot, and gen-
eral information on personal ac-
tivities. Those chosen for College
Board membership will do three
assignments for the magazine dur-
ing the year and from this board
the top twenty will be chosen as
MULE's 1950 Guest Editors.

College Guest Editors are
brought to New York for four
weeks in June to help edit and
write the August college issue.
"Mademoiselle" will pay round-
trip transportation plus a regu-
lar salary for their work.

While in New York, Guest Edi-
tors will receive informal per-
sonalized career guidance. In ad-
dition each Guest Editor inter-
views a top celebrity in her cho-
sen field, to get advice on the edu-
cation and training needed, to ask
about tips and short cuts in reach-
ing the top. Guest Editors also
take trips to newspaper offices,
fashion workrooms, radio sta-
tions, stores, agencies and print-
ing plants.

In past years Agnes Scott has
been well represented among the
Guest Editors by Marybeth Little
in 1947 and Bett Addams this
past summer. Full information
about rules for joining the Col-
lege Board may be obtained in
the Registrar's office.

Decatur

Model Student, Dianne Morris,
Dances From Powers to A.S.C.

By Ann Boyer

Talk about celebrities! Agnes Scott is really bubbling
over with them this year. And one of the most interesting
girls on campus is Dianne Morris, a freshman day student
from Decatur. She is one of the frosh cheer leaders this
year.

This summer J. P. Allen spon-
sored a contest among high schools
in Atlanta and surrounding ter-

ritories to find a girl who
would be most likely to succeed
as a model. There were about
25 schools represented, and Di-
anne was selected by Decatur
Girls' high.

All the girls modeled one of 'her
own outfits at Allen's to be judged
by fashion experts such as Edith
Hills Coogler of the Atlanta Jour-
nal. Dianne was the winner in
this final contest, too, and won a
week's trip in New York among
fashion and modeling agencies.

She began her trip on June 11,
traveling by way of a compartment
shared with Katherine Runnels,
modeling executive at Allen's.
They traveled on the Crescent,
and free meals (steaks, no less)
and flowers were awarded them
by the company.

Imagine! She Refused

While in New York Dianne vis-
ited several fashion agencies and
was offered a job as model with
John Robert Powers, but she de-
clined this because she wanted to
finish school. Also, she met the
fashion editors of "Mademoi-
selle", "Charm", "Seventeen",
"Life", and other famous people
such as Hattie Carnegie and Jac-
ques Fath of France. At fashion
shows she met such wholesale
and retail dealers as the Marcus
brothers of Texas.

Dianne saw many interesting
things in New York aside from
her modeling experiences. She
saw five Broadway shows and
visited Greenwich Village, where
she met several very interesting
artists and saw the famous Dead-
end Kids.

Although the modeling contest
award of one week's visit in New
York seems wonderful, Dianne
was doubly lucky. The Atlanta
Civic Ballet, with which she has
danced for four seasons, awarded
her a second week to study bal*
let. Her faculty from ballet school
met her in New York, and they
all took six hours a day of ballet
from such teachers as Charles
Widedman, Martha Graham, and
Charmyee. One of her favorite
spots in New York was a little
book shop which contained ndth-

ing but books about ballet. She
spent one whole day there, just
browsing among the books.
Alas, Poor Ballerina!
One very unfortunate accident
happened to Dianne in New York.
After having studied ballet there,
she will be unable to dance for
six months because she cracked
a bone in her leg. But after such
an interesting summer, I'd think
she would need a rest.

Even after all this, her travel-
ing was not over. She spent two
weeks longer out from Connecti-
cut on a yacht with a very good
friend who graduated from Pince-
ton this year. Family present, of
course. She also visited the
dance workshop at Bennington
College in Vermont, which she
described as "simply wonderful."

It sounds like a heavenly sum-
mer to me.

Dance Group Elects 12

As a result of tryouts held last
week, dance group has elected
twelve new members.

Included in the group are Anna
Gounaris, Kassie Simmons, Betty
Moon, Lillian Beall, Margaret
Evans, Barbara Brown, Dorothy
Rollins, Pat Williams, Wilton Rice,
Cissie Spiro, Aline Height, and
Gene Guild.

After Tuesday night's tryouts,
other new members were chosen,
but their names have not yet been
announced.

Aggie Leads Fashion Parade:
Silks n Satins Pins n Beaux

By Harriot Ann

A misty cloud of chiffon over a hoop skirt, a camel colored cash-
mere sweater, a tweed suit and matching cloche, complimented by a
yellow "mum" and Tech colors, blue jeans with straw still in the cuffs,
a stunning black dress with the newest flying panels Agnes Scott
looked .like a fashion show this week-end. You
Hottentots deserve A's for being model students.
Point of embarkation, first floor Main, looked like-
Lord and Taylor's from Friday to Sunday.

Informality was the key word to several fraternity
parties on the Tech and Emory campuses. In com-
fortable blue jeans and wool shirts, Eleanor Ryan,
Mary Carolyn Schwab, Margie Major, Jane Oliver,
Betty Holland, and Marg Hunt ate hamburgers and
cooked over an open fire at Fern's Farm For Fun.
The Psi Omegas were responsible for their good
time Saturday night.
The harvest moon looks bigger and brighter and bolder when viewed
from a hay wagon (or so I'm told) ! There were stars in the skies
and in the eyes of Betty Anne Green, Peggy Harper, and Barbara West
as they enjoyed their first hayride at Agnes Scott.

We Review the Fashion Review

Taking their places in the fashion spot light were the girls who
modeled their new off-to-college date dresses. Margaretta Lumpkin,
was lovely in a wine knitted dress, Ann Parker chose bronze, and Pat
Cortelyou wore gold crepe. Freshmen Frances Summerville, Norma
Waldrep, Martha Norton, Sue Peterson, and Susan Dodson wore sophis-
ticated black and were pleasantly mistaken for seniors. You see, they
all went dancing on the patio of the Tech S. A. E. House.

Bali Hal lured many of our group to "Come Away" to the land of
dreams. Some got shipwrecked and ended up at the Lambda Chi
House at Tech. Mary Ann White, Frances Blakney, Bill Harper, Patt
Martin, Barbara West, Aline Height, Annelle Simpson, and Margie
Thomason all agreed that it was the next best thing to palm trees and
ocean breezes. '

The Tech Kappa Sigs threw life preservers out to Bet Linton, Sylvia
Williams, Helen Huie, and Pat Williams. Wasn't it lucky they were
decked out in their nautical clothes since the boys had planned a sea
party ?

Page Hutchison, Sue Hefner, Dot Weston, and Pat Frederickson

can say they have seen South Pacific now. Well, that Phi Gam
looked a little bit like Ezio Pinza, anyway. The Tech chapter served
a supper strictly South Pacific style on the floor were spread
pineapple and other fruits, shrimp, and sugar cane. Pine cones and
sword fish were ornamental decorations.

Others chose to answer the all-American call "Hi Ho, Come to the
Fair." In sweaters and skirts and saddles, Winnie Strozier, Shirley
Heath, Ann Goolsby, Dot Rollins, Cama Clarkson, Helen Edwards,
Sarah Tucker, and Jean Osborn were in their glory eating candied
apples, cotton candy and riding the roller coaster. Did you see that
HUGE panda Helen won?

Some Enchanted Evening You Will Meet a Rushee!

A swish of taffeta, a confiscated boutonniere, a no-break for Star-
dust these are pleasant memories of the K. A. formal. The Tech
chapter closed its rush season with a dance at the Henry Grady.
Stepping out of "Vogue" were Jane Hambrick in white net, Barbara
Brown in blue and silver, Helen Land in a black dress of taffeta and
velvet. June Carpenter chose a gown of eggshell chiffon, Doris Cling-
man made a hit in lavender satin, and lime net was Mary Lindsey's
choice.

Going from the sublime to the ridiculous keeps our interest aroused
at least. There were Bowery Balls, Hobo parties, Apache parties and
a Gay Ninties party slated for this week-end. In loud and daring cos-
tumes, put together with roommates' bangle bracelets and black
berets, many Agnes Scotters concealed their Southern breeding and
attended these parties. What a difference types of clothes make!

The Latest Fashions in Romance

As much as the styles of clothes change a sure classic is the white
satin wedding dress. Two more Agnes Scott aluirmae have changed
their names B. J. Radford and Margaret Sanders. We talk so
much about the right thing to wear, but I'm sure that Deche Arm-
strong, Ann Boyer, and Virginia Feddeman will agree that their
newly acquired fraternity pins set off any costume beautifully.

A number took their clothes with them over the week-end Sally
Veale went to Augusta, Ann Atkinson went home to Nashville,
Jeanne Smith went to Spartanburg, Pat Patterson went to the 'Ole
Miss-Vandy game, and Dot Davis went home to see her fiance.

Last Sunday night, members of
the Tech YMCA were in charge
of the program, and German ex-
change student Max Baecher, told

that all faith was lost," said
Baecher.

There were over a hundred pres-
ent at the vespers Sunday. Re-
freshments were served after the
meeting.

It was a "story book" ending Saturday night for the sopho-
mores, when their "Pushin' Boots" made fairy tales come true
by capturing the traditional Black Cat.

Competing with the sophs' tale of whimsey was the ultra-

the freshmen.

and boxes of candy from the fresh-

McSpadden Finds Inspiration
At Berea-and Then the Rain

By Sue McSpadden

.The highlight of my summer vacation was to discover that
some place else in the world has as much rain as Decatur
Berea, Kentucky, believe it or not! I discovered this damp-
ening fact while spending a week at the Southern Intercol-
legiate YMCA-YWCA-SCA Conference held at Berea in June.

There were representatives from

most of the colleges of the South-
east, so the phrase, "Do you know
so-and-so from such and such?",
was quite frequently heard. And
all of us met many new friends,
both Negro and white, with whom
we discussed everything from
Communism to careers, from the
race question to religion, from
education to etiquette. I was par-
ticularly humbled and awed by the
keen thinking and awareness of
the delegates there and by the
complete lack of strain and re-
serve between races.

Life wasn't all study at the
Conference. We spent some time
each day swimming in the Col-
lege's wonderful indoor pool, tour-
ing the amazing student indus-
tries for which Berea is so famous,
listening to organ concerts, or
playing Softball. And on one of
the rainiest days we climbed one of
the very foreboding mountains
near the school. It made Stone
Mountain seem like a tiny mound,
and definitely cured my future de-
sires for mountain climbing. We
finally conquered the mountain
but it took its toll by removing
what curl the rain had left in our
hair and even ripping the heel and
sole off one of my loafers. Then to
top it all, we got lost on the moun-

tain and missed dinner a major
tragedy, 'cause the food was grand.

Of course we had speakers, sev-
eral of whom were quite good, es-
pecially Miss Leila Anderson, an
alumna of Agnes Scott and the
present executive of the National
YWCA. There were extremes
of radicalism and conservatism
present so the discussions were
quite lively and challenging. Most
of all I was impressed by the
spirit of the conference, its frank
evaluation of what the speakers
said, its realization of the realities
of life, and its willingness to meet
on a common ground with all races
to try to solve common problems
and then the rain . . . .!

C. A. President) Club News
Works in Italy

By Vivienne Patterson

With the Christian association
theme of "Be aware, care, and
share ..." C. A. president, Ann
Williamson told of her summer
experiences in the work camp at
Agape, Italy, in Chapel Tuesday
morning. Agape is located about
30 miles from Torino in northern
Italy near the French border.
There under the leadership of Pas-
tor Vinay, who is responsible for
the building of Agape, 100 volun-
teer workers representing 12 na-
tions came together to build this
religious center.

The purpose of building Agape
is three-fold. First, to practice
the best Christian living of which
one is capable. Second, Agape is
the first village of the Ecumen-
ical Church, since it is completely
interracial, interdenominational,
with none of the barriers of color
or creed. Third, Agape is a re-
ligious study center, where peo-
ple, primarily young people, come
the year around for study, confer-
ences, camps, and assemblies.

Ann told of how the days were
spent and of her Job working on
the playground. By rough and
dirty work, they had to level 6
meters into the side of the moun-
tain, hauling the rocks and dirt
with the aid of only crudely built
wooden picks, shovels and wheel-
barrows.

Through her work there, Ann felt
a keener and deeper realization
for the need of international un-
derstanding. Though there are
certain barriers between peoples
as in language difficulties and in
economic and cultural differences,
there is a common bond among
men as shown in the spirit of Ag-
ape.

By Harriot Ann

Are you a "study-buddy" ? Do
you bury yourself in the stacks
from morn till night every day
of the week? Write that fresh-
man theme, read your Russian
History or French novel, don't
miss Chemistry lab; but when
you're through, get acquainted
with the good entertainment At-
lanta has to offer you. We say
with pride that Agnes Scott is a
part of ^Atlanta Atlanta is a
part of Agnes Scott, too.

Atlanta has its own "Great
White Way", though better known
as Peachtree Street. Walk down
it sometime and see for yourself.

Picture a Penthouse 'way up
in the sky, in view of Peachtree,
and stars going by . . . Atop the
Ansley Hotel is an exciting new
theater The Penthouse where
Broadway stars are featured in
good drama. The floorplan, like
that of an arena, creates a wonder-
fully familiar atmosphere between
actors and audience. Such stars
as Sarah Churchill and Sonny
Tufts have made hits there. Kay
Frances in "Let Us Be Gay" is
Vlaying this week.

Girls! Lawrence Olivier has re-
turned! He, better known as
Hamlet, will reside in the halls
of the Peachtree Arts Theater,
starting today. Being from Ag-
nes Scott is advantageous when
it comes to that theater. They
offer special rates for special peo-
ple, you know.

Though the Tech and Emory
campuses may be on side streets
from the White Way, they are
by no means blind alleys to Agnes
Scott. The Emory Players are
working on their production of
"Kiss and Tell." The dates are
November 17 and 18. The Dra-
matechs are holding rehearsals
for their production, "Room Ser-
vice." Incidentally, our own
Blackfriars will present "East-
ward in Eden" Thanksgiving
week.

Clarke Selects
Upperclassmen
For New Choir

Four years ago at Agnes Scott
we had only one choral group, the
Glee Club. This group found that
it was participating in chapel pro-
grams, special programs, and al-
most every other musical program
during the year. Seeing that this
was entirely too much work for
one group, Mrs. Clarke decided
that the next year she would try
the idea of having a choir made up
of members of the freshman class.
The freshmen were very respon-
sive to the idea, and a fine choir
was formed.

When these freshmen became
sophomores, they did not want to
lose their enjoyment of singing,
so they continued as the sopho-
more choir. This year, the first
junior-senior choir was organized.
Most of the juniors in this choir
were members of the first fresh
man choir at Agnes Scott. Al
though the seniors have not had
a chance to belong to any class
choir before now, most of them
have sung in the Christmas choir
in past years, since it is open to
any class.

Many of last year's sophomore
choir joined the Glee Club this
year, so Mrs. Clarke and the jun-
iors decided to form one choir
made up of both juniors and sen-
iors. This choir practices after
dinner on Wednesday nights, and
will sing in chapel from time to
time.

The junior-senior choir brings
the total number of voices in the
four choirs to 140. Approximately
100 participated in the singing
of the anthem, "Unfold, Ye Por-
tals" in chapel last Friday morn-
ing. The junior-senior choir will
join the other campus choirs in the
Christmas concert on December
11 of this year, and will be a very
welcome addition to the inspiring
choral groups at Agnes Scott.

Aggie n Guesfs Crack Corn
With Burl Ives and 'Geetar

By Harriot Ann

Look, kids, we've done it again. We've hummed "Tell Me Why" on
hayrides; we've cheered for Tech and yelled "War Eagle" too; we've
sung our last Black Cat song 'till next October; we've welcomed week-
end guests we've done all this and have written papers and read
books in our spare time. Never let it be said that the society editor
has nothing to print!

Just because the Rush parties are over, the frosh are not sitting
in the dorm on the week-ends take it from a senior who knows. The
Emory ATO's served as hosts to several Agnes Scotters Saturday
night. Jane Hook, Belle Miller, Alyce Ryan, Dot Duckworth, Mary
Hayes Barber, Jinny Brewer, Barbara Browning, Betty Holland, Kitty
Loemker, and Bett Linton all enjoyed dancing to the Negro jazz band.

These Parties Are Not to be Sneezed at!

Hey, hey love those hayrides! With the chill of winter in the air
that straw really seemed cozy, didn't it? Ellen Hunter, Joan Riley,
Mary Evans, Dianne Morris, Ruth Gudmanson, Taffy Merrill were es-
corted by Emory KA's. The Lambda Chis were
proud to include Virginia Arnold and Annelle Simp-
son on their hayride after Black Cat.

Sweethearts of Sigma Chi this week-end were
Betty Williams, Charity Bennet, and Bett Linton.
Steady Sweetheart Jean Kline went to Athens with
Ed to the Sigma Chi Derby at Georgia.

Don't worry your heads about our new Chinese
girls being lost in this big, big United States
Norma and Helen were escorted by two Chinese
y boys to the ISO dance in the Tech gym. They
would like to go on record as being in favor of the
Auburn Knights and our American dances.

Frosh Fare Famously With Phis

The Phi Delts at Emory know who the cute girls are chalk one
up for the class of 53! Mary Lindsey, Doris Clingman, Louise Ross,
Betty McLellan and sponsor Mary Young agreed that the house dance
was wonderful. Where is a house not JUST a house dance? You
guessed it at the SAE house at Tech. For reasons consult Adeline
Miller, Mary Jane Largen, Pat Cortliyou, Ann Cooper, and Norah Anne
Little. And speaking of Tech, Eliza White went to the Tech Graduate
party Saturday night after Black Cat, we presume!

"Jennie Crack Corn and I don't care . . ." Burl Ives, his "geetar"
and his priceless ballads were at the Tech gym Sunday afternoon.
Jane Hambrick, Virginia Claire Hayes, Peggy Harper, Ginny Fedde-
man, Jimmy Ann McGee, Martha Ann Stegaf , Jerry Keef, Ann Wind-
ham, Barbara Brown were there. The only ballad I knew on the pro-
gram was Lord Randall (thanks to 211!) and he omitted that one.
But the Bluetail Fly made up for it.

Those juniors certainly are proud of their new privileges. Charity
Bennet, Julie Cuthbertson, Margie Stukes, and Betty Averill went
into Decatur to the movie Friday night unchaperoned! They reverted
to high school days and saw a Western, ate popcorn and even booed
the villian! Ask them about the episode at Tatum's after the show.

Representatives from your newspaper went up to Yankee-land last
week and had a good time, at that. Alline Marshall, Dot Medlock,
and Mary Ann Hachtel came back inspired to bigger and better news-
papers. Fair warning!

Brides, Fiancees, and an Old Maid Aunt

This week-end will go down in history for other things besides
Black Cat. Marie Millikin and Jane Sharkey both were married
Another exciting event was June Davis* receiving a West Point mini-
ature Friday night, and Sara Samonds is pinned! As of Saturday,
just call me "Ole* Aunt Harriot" . . . yes, it is a boy!

Agnes Scott College stretched out her sheltering arms this week-end.
Betty AVerill, Sue McSpadden, Mary Ann Garrard, Ann McDonald,
Frances Cook, Ann Jones, Nancy Ruffner, Mary Beth Robinson had
guests. It was like old home week to have Bobbie Jones, Louise
Sanford, Mary Allen Tucker, Edith Stowe, Mrs. Jean Akin Martin
on campus.

Sister classes were victors in the opening hockey games
Friday as the seniors defeated the juniors 2-1, and the sophs

In the first game, the seniors, showing the better control
of the ball, kept the playing near the junior goal a great part
of the time. The juniors threat

only goal made during the first
half was by Mary Louise Warlick
for the seniors.

During the second half, the sen-
iors kept the junior goalie busy,
but only scored once. Jimmy
Ann McGee scored shortly after-
ward for the juniors. The only
other junior threat was a strug-
gle at the senior goal as the game
ended.

The freshmen got off to a spir-
ited start in the second game of
the afternoon. The ball was sent
to the sophomore goal almost im-
mediately to no avail, however.
Not* until the ball had traveled
up and down the field several
times did it go into the cage. Three
times the sophomores chalked up
points through the work of Win-
nie Strozier and Jane Windham.
The ball stayed near the frosh
goal most of the second half.

Tell Me A Story

By Joann Peterson

Betty Holland advises us to spend a Saturday af-
ternoon at Negro Missions if we want to see 30
eager little children having a lot of fun. Songs,
handicraft, games, and coloring keep the boys and
girls (as well as their "adopted mothers") busy, but
hearing stories is their favorite pastime. Betty
confides that in spite of all she can do they still pre
fer "Little Black Sambo" to the Bible stories.

Last Saturday one little fellow remarked, "You
say Sambo ate 136 pancakes?"

"Why, yes," replied Betty. "He did."

"Why, that's nothing," the little fellow responded.
"See that girl over there? She's done ate 68 her-
self!"

Since their ages range from two to 15, Betty says
it's hard to get their attention, but she continues,
once you do, they sit spellbound.

One of the children calls Betty her "play mom-
mee." * /

Margaret Andes, Barbara' Futrall, Ann Green,
Teresa Dokas, Jean Junker, and Isabel Truslow all
take part in making Saturday afternoon at Negro
Missions happy for these little girls and boys.

Next on the agenda is a plan to get Tech, Emory,
and Seminary boys to help with this project; their
job will be to help the little boys with their favorite
games, football and baseball.

Dead 'Heads'

By Alline Marshall

The itinerary of the News "heads" from ASC
to ACP (Associated College Press) in Detroit was
brought to a standstill when the trio ran into a
deadend namely the Everseal Casket Company
where there was guaranteed no turnover. We
found that the company was the "embodiment" of
efficiency in spite of a lot of dead weight. Well,
that really is running it into the ground, so you
can bury that* one.

Having explored the underworld, we arrived in
Detroit dead tired. In spite of this fact or because
of it, we were not allowed to retire until 2 o'clock.
We tried our southern charm on the bell boy, bell
captain, and desk clerk but to no avail. After re-
peatedly requesting that our roll away bed be
delivered, we patiently (?) waited. About 1:30 a.
m., a rap on the door was heard. Recalling Miss
Scandrett's warning about Michigan Wolverines,
we cautiously chained the door, but gleefully re-
ceived the news that finally the bed had arrived.

Our joy was short-lived, however, for we soon
discovered that only the springs and mattress had
been delivered. After another half hour of yaking
and yawning, we retired despite this triviality, but
soon learned that there was no rest for the weary,
for at 2:00 a..m. the maid arrived to make the bed.
Having complied with convention, we rested in
peace.

The next day we attended lectures and forums
svhere the various editors discussed policies, com-
plained about faculty advisors, and pounded the
Tulane editor with questions and accusations. The
final blow came when someone asked the exasper-
ated Hullabaloo editor who was going to win the
Pulane-Notre Dame game. Well, he soon found out.

Speaking of murders, several college editors were
deeply concerned with the problem of improving
their obituary columns. One editor, due to incon-
siderate acts on the part of his classmates, had been
forced to write up two suicide notices and a murder
case. As such articles are not usually included in
our make-up, we were unable to offer much help.

After such a morbid morning, we began to wonder
if we didn't need psychoanalyzing, so we did the
next best thing by going to see "People Like Us,"
a current play. It would never do to tell what we
learned about ourselves.

The next night General Motors feted us at a lav-
ish banquet. They evidently had hired a number of
southern cooks, for we could actually distinguish
the food by its seasoning- even the fruit cocktail
was appetizing.

Well, General Motors didn't "tire" us, but the L
& N. did. On the return trip, I spent my leisure
hours trying to catch a few winks in spite of the
blaring noises and glaring lights. After numerous
unsuccessful attempts, I finally achieved the state
of oblivion only to be rudely awakened by my con-
siderate companions whe wanted to know if I
wouldn't be more comfortable in another seat.

Oh well, life can be dutiful.

Pledges Aren't Payments

Congratulations!! YouVe over-pledged the Christian as-
sociation minimum budget.

That means that C. A. should be able to be a more vital
part of campus life this year; that means that C. A. should be
able to serve you better.

Why the "should"? Because there's one necessary condi-
tion. Will the pledges mean anything? Last year the budget
was over-subscribed, too; but only one third of the pledges
were completed.

C. A. envelopes will be distributed near the first of each
month, representatives of C. A. will take up pledges at chapel
time, there will be a box in the bookstore for pledges what
other reminder is necessary? May we care enough to share,
for the love of Christ contrainith us. C. K.

'Culture Corner' Will Advise
Library-Haunted 'Hottentots'

Whether your problem is what to do with your spare time,
or whether it's not having any spare time to worry about, if
you have a spare time problem you're like the rest of the
"Aggies."

If you've done all your shopping, window or otherwise, and
seen the latest offering at Loew's Grand, and cannot seem to
find anything new or different for entertainment, the society
will have some suggestions.

The society editor's new feature, "Culture Corner," which
was initiated last week, will appear about once a month. It
will give suggestions about the current concerts, movies, and
lectures, besides information on special features, such as the
Southeastern Art exhibit.

And, on the other hand, if you can't tear yourself away
from the reserve room, at least you'll know what you're
missing. M. W.

MEMBER

Associated Collegiate Press

By Dot Medlock

Other people can write about the gayer side of
life, but everyone seems to expect the editor to take
a business-like attitude toward such things as inter-
collegiate newspaper conventions in Detroit.

Just so there will be no mistaken ideas that it
was all business, though, I'l like to point a directing
finger to the column on the other side of the page.

The three News staff members (editor, manag-
ing editor, and business manager) who went to De-
troit October 12, went primarily for the purpose
of picking up new ideas for this paper by comparison
and close association with papers from schools all
over the nation.

Representation there was far-reaching, for we
were able to compare editorial policies of the Uni-
versity of Chicago's self-supporting daily to South-
ern Louisiana State Teacher's College's semi-month-
ly publicity sheet. We met delegates from such
far away places as Nevada, Rhode Island, South
Dakota, and even little San Jose.

Top men and women from newspapers, journal-
ism schools, and the graphic arts industry were
there to give suggestions for better publications
and to answer questions. We learned that promo-
tion is -two-thirds motion, that there is a difference
between facts and fancy in newspaper writing, that
careful editing pays off, and that the future of col-
lege n'ewspapers is toward a more powerful influ-
ence on campus and civic affairs.

We learned how the Agnes Scott News stacks up
with other college newspapers. Although we are
not able to compare in independence with the larger
money making college newspapers, and though re-
stricted by tradition, we ihave a great deal of free-
dom in forming editorial policy and running the ga-
mut of creative make-up.

With 500 delegates at the convention, and every
state represented, we could not overlook the spirit
of fellowship, the striving after common goals as
reflected in college students of the nation. We
learned a lot about people from places that, before,
were just names on a map, and we liked what we
learned. We want to know more.

A lot of ideas were shared, and we have come
back with plans to make your Agnes Scott News
a bigger and better paper.

Slings and Arrows
Never The Twain

By Helen Edwards

The speaker is perplexed. He does not know ex-
actly how to address the entire Agnes Scott audi-
ence at once.

If he looks directly in front of him, there looms
t'he Great Divide. This he can't figure out. Agnes
Scott is a Southern school, he reasons, so it follows
logically that it should stand politically solid. Do
you suppose there could be such a large contingent
of States' Righters on such a small campus?

To avoid being intimidated by the abyss of empty
seats in front of him, the speaker turns first to the
right because the little, group hovered over in that
corner seems to be making the greatest attempt to
be dignified, in spite of the intermittent giggle that
escapes periodically. He realizes shortly, however,
that he is neglecting the left -half of his audience, so
he turns to them. In order that everyone may hear
all of his speech he alternates his direction fre-
quently, but unfortunately he becomes too eager at
one point and jerks a crick in his neck. From this
moment he must assume an extremely thoughtful
attitude, peering meditatively at the balcony. It is
uncomfortable but it lends a philisophical air and
there is no discrimination.

All this time he is also having trouble with his
volume. He suddenly shouts, and on the first rows
(the first rows where people are sitting, that is;
there are no people on the first five rows) the stu-
dents sway before the mighty impact and cover
their heads with their knitting.

He does not have to worry long about these prob-
lems, though, because the students begin looking at
their watches and he realizes that it is time to stop,'
so he skips the last two points he was to make, gives
a hasty conclusion and takes his seat.

He is too stunned to ask an explanation for what
he has witnessed, but on his way home he suddenly
decides he must qualify the title of his new book
before he sends it to the publishers. Right now it
lies on his desk under the name, "United Stands the
South."

Aggie Hunts Treasure Clues
From Fern s Farm to Frat Row

By Harriot Ann

Aggie went on a treasure hunt.

Being of an adventurous nature and always ready for a good time,
she eagerly anticipated Friday night, when it was to begin. Her in-
structions were to track down each clue one by one and discover
the final clue, a wonderful reward. Aggie didn't have to ponder long
in plotting her course she knew that Tech and Emory were the cen-
ters of attraction.

Til Give You a Clue

The first clue read "Look for a needle in a haystack" so she scram-
bled into the haywagon in front of Main. Charlotte Evans, Flossie
Williamson, Sue Yarbrough, Virginia Dunn, Barbara Lawson, Dottie
Allison, B. J. Sharpe, Marcey O'Farrell, Betty Aver-
ill, Gerry Armstrong all searched frantically and
came up with her next clue "A Red Lion." She
did want to go on to Fern's Farm with those Chi
Phis, but she was glad she had continued her hunt
when she arrived at the SAE's Hobo party at Emory.
Although she asked almost everyone there Wilton
Rice, Margie Orr, Gregor Mitchell, Jerry Keef,
Betty Holland, Jane Crayton, Roberta Williams,
Frankie Hovverton, Kay Krouth, Marg Hunt, and
Rosiland Kennedy no one knew who had painted
the lion! (I heard from authorities that those KA
pledges had a roaring time of it.)

Sleuthing on Emory's Fraternity Row

Aggie wandered on up fraternity row, looking for the solution to
"Pledge Party". She stopped at the ATO house, but Jackie Sue
Messer and Libby Shontz advised her to head for the Phi Delt house
Aha! That was it! The pledges were giving a party for the brothers
and their dates. Aggie just had to stop and chat a minute with Ellie
McCarty, Miff Martin, and Mary Hayes Barber. By then she was be-
coming curious about the climax of the treasure hunt so am I, aren't
you?

Investigation Proves Entertaining to Aggie

The muscial clue, "Going Home", nearly stumped our Aggie, but
Sara Jane Campbell, Cornelia Dickerson, Sybil Corbitt, Muriel Gear,
Charity Bennett, and sponsor Sara Sammonds convinced her that the
perfect answer was Davidson's Homecoming. And who wouldn't agree?
The next clue delighted her "Metropolitan concert star". Wasn't it
lucky that she happened to have a ticket to hear Dorothy Kirsten?
Cissie Spiro, Isabel Truslow, Vippie Patterson, Helen Edwards, Sarah
Tucker, Ann Williamson, Jane Crayton, and Mary Evans sat near our
friend and let her in on a secret about her next clue. Back to Tech
Aggie rushed, according to her clue, "Rush Party." The Theta Chi
house was all lighted up and the sounds of a party aroused her curi-
osity. Bertie Bond, Mary Ann Wvatt, Jo Holliman, Mary Virginia
Youngblood, Rene Dudney, and Pat Frederickson were all getting such
a rush she decided to stay awhile. And anyway it was grand to rest
her weary feet after all of that walking.

Treasured Memories For Her Diary

Clue number seven "A Ring." For an up and coming socialite like
Aggie, this one was a cinch! What a wonderful excuse to look in on
the Naval ROTC Ring dance. She watched Libby Shontz, Claire
Foster, Betty Ann Green, Joanne Piastre, Anne Cope, Betty Lou
Daughtery, Anne Herman, Dot Hardin, Anne McLeod, Ann Boyer,
Mary Louise Mattison, Marcey O'FarreU, and B. J. Foster waltz by
in their pretty formals and she dreamed a little . . .

No Pot of Gold, but . . .

Near the bandstand she found her last clue and was so overjoyed
with it that she wanted me to tell it to you: <
"No pot of gold is here for you,
No dream man, six foot two,
Your reward which you have won
A week-end full of fun."

Freshmen Hunt A.A. Treasure

Athletic association's fresh-
man party literally covered the
campus last Friday night. After a
hamburger supper at Murphey
Candler approximately 60 gals
and their dates from Tech and
Emory embarked on a treasure
hunt after tantalizing clues. They
went to the "beach," sought the
abode that offers food and shel-
ter, "climbed" the stairway to the
stars and continued onward until
one group found the box of candy
at Dr. Calder's.

Then well acquainted with the
campus, the tramp-weary search-
ers returned to Murphy Candler

for dancing, games, singing, Cokes
and doughnuts.

As the prize for passing Life
Savers from one person to an-
other via toothpick, 10 trium-
phant contestants each received
a package of Life Savers.

To climax the evening, Betty
Van Houten led the group in
singing.

Seniors Down Sophs 3-1

As Juniors Conquer Frosh 4-0

By Charlotte Key

The "ole' ladies" defeated the not-so-spry "younguns" in
the hockey games Friday with the seniors' chalking up three
points to the sophomores' one and the juniors' defeating the
freshmen 4-0.

The soph forward line exhibited early in the game the fast
playing with which they outdis-

tanced the seniors several times
during the afternoon when Win-
nie Strozier took the ball from the
soph goal to score the first point.
The seniors got the second bully,
however, and Mary Louise War-
lick tied the score.

The second half saw the ball
near the sophomore goal most of
the time. One exception was when
Jane Windham got through a hole
in the senior defense, and the
sophs kept it at the other end of
the field for quite awhile. During
the half, Mary Louise Warlick and
Genie Paschal made the winning
points for the seniors. Gretta Moll
and Jane Windham helped spark
their teams by their excellent
playing.

In the second game of the af-
ternoon, the frosh soon took the
ball to, the junior goal. Liza Pol-
lard reversed the situation, how-
ever, and Jimmie Ann McGee
scored for the juniors. It was
not long until the juniors got an-
other point through the work of
Virginia Feddeman.

Betty Esco scored another for
the upperclassmen at the 'begin-
ning of the second half. Then af-
ter a brief trip to the center of
the field, the ball was kept busy
by the juniors' hitting it out of
bounds behind the frosh goal. Fin-
ally Julie Cuthbertson sent it in-
to the cage. The frosh .took the
ball to the other end of the field,
and it was there at the end of
the game.

Campus Will Welcome Guests

Initial Lecture to Present
James Warburg Friday

"The Citizen's Participation in a Free Society," James P.
Warburg's subject for his lecture Friday night, is pertinent
to Agnes Scott's campus-wide emphasis on a broad world
vision this year.

relations, Mr. Warburg served as
Financial Advisor of the U. S. Del-
egation to the World Economic
Conference at London in 1933. As
an author he has written as many
as nine books, his most current
book being entitled "Last Call For
Common Sense."

Well informed, widely traveled,
and one of the most qualified of
our nation's economists, Mr. War-
burg will be introduced to the Ag-
nes Scott campus at his lecture in
Presser Hall on Friday night at
8:30 p. m. The campus community
is invited to bring friends to a
reception to be held for Mr. War-

JAMES P. WARBURG burg after the lecture.

I'll Manage

Skele-tones

By Alline Marshall

On a rainy, dismal night at a dimly lighted ban-
quet table surrounded by pumpkins and boiling
cauldrons the members of Chi Beta Phi waited
eagerly to hear the speaker of the evening, the dis-
tinquished member of the biology department, Mr.
Napoleon Bony-parts (better known as Skinny the
skeleton).

Much to the disappointment of all, Mr. Boney-
parts arose and wrote that he would be unable to
speak; for, due to the inclement weather conditions
and other more obvious causes, he had lost his
voice. He requested that he be replaced by some
of the well known after-dinner speakers who were
present and suggested suitable subjects.

Among those who graciously accepted were Miss
Virginia Arnold, nationally recognized beautician,
who spoke on "The Difference in the Wave Lengths
of the Toni Twins", and Miss Kitty Loemker, au-
thority on Indian warfare, who reviewed "Cuspid's
Last Stand."

The eminent historian, Miss Barbara Futral, out-
lined "The Characteristics of the Anti-Logarithim
Party", and Miss Julia Goode, outstanding music
critic, elaborated on "The Movements of the Brow-
ian Symphony."

Miss Carol Munger, distinguished archaeologist,
spoke on "The Plague of the Locus", and Miss Es-
ther Cordle, prominent mathematician, explained
"The Meanness of a Mean Proportion."

Miss Emily Ann Reid, winner of the Noble Prize
in biology, was asked to speak on "The Fauna and
Flora on the Isles of Langerhans." Miss Reid evi-
dently misunderstood the subject for she reviewed
life on the Isle of Leghorn Hens, which is located
in the Northern Pancrea Sea. She described the
ferocious beasts including the snapdragons, the
"dandy"-lions, and the tiger lilies.

Miss Reid emphasized that the island was noted
for its subversive political parties, of which the
better known were the left wing faction or the
Rhode Island Reds and the more conservative party,
the Plymouth Rocks, who could trace their ancestry
to the members of the Mayflower group.

In addition to these well known speakers, a num-
ber of intangible ghosts (pardon, guests) were pres-
ent, including the Comic Spirit.

Slings and Arrows
Home for a Doll

By Helen Edwards

I was flirting with the jack-O-lantem on the next
counter when she pulled me down from the shelf.

"I like this one, Betty. It's so cuddly." The store
was noisey, but she Whispered.

She cradled me in her arms and I knew this
little girl would love me. She was the kind of little
girl that the dolls who come back to the factory for
new hair and repainting talked about.

Then I looked up at her and saw that she wasn't
a little girl after all she had on lip-stick and there
was a remembering gleam, in her eye. I knew, too,
that I wasn't being bought as a gift; she held me as
if I were her own.

That night I sat in a big chair, still not under-
standing where I was or why. Near me was a small
pinafore and a' dress with lots of ruffles.

She got up early the next morning and when she
put on the ruffled dress and pinafore, she looked so
funny and gangly. I didn't dare laugh, but she
looked in the mirror and laughed at herself, so I
giggled, too.

I didn't know what happened, then. There were
lots of other girls, just like mine, and they yelled
and yanked at each other all morning long. Every-
one laughed at them. I did, too. I was having so
much fun.

Then suddenly all the laughing stopped. I was put
in a big brown box (she squeezed me tight before
she let me go. and she didn't throw me in). I could
not help thinking she didn't want to let me go, and
it made me feel glad inside.

The next think I knew, here I was, out here on
this little girl's bed a real little girl this time.
She loves me, too, and points her finger at me and
tells me to be good.

But somehow this is different. I feel like me,
now. When I was with HER, I felt like like I was
lots of other dolls and a long way off can't explain
it because I .don't understand it myself.

But then, dolls aren't supposed to understand;
we're supposed to be loved by little girls.

Braille Eyes for the Blind

(Editor's Note: The following letter was received by student gov-
ernment president Sarah Tucker. There will be a student discussion
later about whether or not to include this appeal in the Campus Char-
ity Drive.)

Dear Stucfents:

Since circumstances beyond my control make it impossible
for me to appear in public at present, I am glad of this chance
to write to you. I would very much like to have you near me in
my campaign for the destitute multitudes of Europe who are
blind also.

I had a very sad visit among those war victims of Western
Europe. With my feelings still raw, I cannot be happy with
plentiful food, warmth and fun in America. Constantly, I am
haunted by the thought of the many blind children who are
living in ignorance and hopeless poverty.

Try to imagine how sudden and terrible it was when the late
World War robbed blind children of their schools, libraries'
and homes. Here you are, students, with bright eyes and every
means of a fine education, while in France, Greece, Italy, Fin-
land, Austria and Western Germany there are sightless chil-
dren without braille apparatus the only device that compen-
sates them for blindness! Braille is a system of raised dots
by which the blind learn to read and write with their fingers,
and of course, children without sight must have their braille
text-books, just as you have your text-
books in ink print'. Only through books they read themselves
can they have the delight of imagination and grow up to hap-
py, useful lives. That is why I beg you from my heart to do
what you can for the children of Europe who are without
sight, but are as eager to learn, as you are. Will you not put
extra sunshine into your life by contributing to the American
Foundation for Overseas Blind's Gift to the sightless children
of Europe braille slates, braille text-book and slate paper,
braille writes and other types pi braille educational and rec-
reational materials. Think what an inspiration it will be for
those children in the dark to receive from you the light of
knowledge and self help.

I shall keep up my courage, dear "students, by thinking of
your hands held out to give the struggling blind youth of
Europe the apparatus they need, opportunities to overcome
their difficulties and some joys of childhood that you have
known.

Affectionately your friend,
Helen Keller

kGGltt ANTICS

The Kitty Cries for Help

By Dot Medlock

Agnes Scott alumnae must have an awful lot of
memories to take them pleasantly to old age. I've
been thinking about mine.

And one of the most vivid was an utterly stupid
fight the class of 1950 had over a little black kitty
with silver bells around his neck. The first year
we didn't exactly know what was going on. This
was a disadvantage. The second year we knew too
well that if we didn't capture the cat, we would be
outcasts. This was a disadvantage.

Both years we worked painting, sewing, writing,
and learning songs, and memorizing lines. The
scenery we painted (has long been torn up; the sew-
ing we did landed in someone's trash basket the day
after the fray; the lines we learned were soon re-
placed by more serious memory work; and we only
remember snatches of the songs we sang.

And now they are saying that for these reasons
Black Cat stunt is a waste of time. They say that
freshmen don't have the time in their first six weeks
of college to think about such things as black cats.
They say that the sophs drive themselves to live up
to the sophomore standard set the year before. And
that it's all a lot work for nothing.

But I remember that I first noticed a girl from
Florida because she wrote a clever line to a limerick
in the skit. Along with the rest of the class, I mar-
veled at the enthusiasm the cheerleaders had, and
decided they would be nice to know. And some-
where in .the back of my mind, I remember a laugh-
ing group of blue-jeaned sophs trying to paint each
other instead of the scenery.

But they say it was all a waste of time.

Associated Collegiate Press

By Joann Peterson

During Pat Overton's stay in Paris, she had the
experience of bunking at CIMADE, French Protes-
tant organization for refugee help. This building
was eight stories high and contained a dining
room, housekeeper's apartment, offices, and a chap-
el that had been used by the Germans before the
war.

Oh yes, there was an attic on the eighth floor,
and it was here that Pat and he* work camp friends
lived for a few days. Most of the offices included
rooms for distributing clothes to needy refugees
(and they are all needy) and rooms in which they
could talk over their problems; here counselors ad-
vised them on such important subjects as available
jobs.

This building was only the central office for
other refugee centers around Paris. There are
three such centers; Sevres, for students, Bellevue
for bachelors and widowers, and Sussy for women
and children. These centers include refugees of all
ages and nationalities.

Many of these refugees are professional, trained
people who cannot get work. The only jobs open
to them are in coal mines and on farms.

The Sevres group is composed of carefully, hand-
picked young people of 12 nationalities and three
religions. At this student center they share the
great experience in "Christian living through wor-
ship, work, and play together." But they desperately
need books, money, and clothes, and when I. R. O.,
their supporting organization, ends, they will have
nothing.

At Bellevue, the bachelor center, Pat found many
of the young men bitter and cynical with no desire
left to work because of their terrible personal and
professional frustrations; the most pathetic fact
here was the keen intellect, youth, enthusiasm
and training going to waste.

The wearying amount of red tape required for im-
migration is hard on all the refugees, especially
the Polish, Pat says, for in many cases before their
final papers come through they have a new addition
to the family which doubly complicates matters.

Pat is bubbling over with additional facts and
life stories of these people. Most of them are trag-
ic; all of them are very sad. But Pat goes beyond
the caring point; she wants to do something about
them to, in the words of our theme; "Be Aware;
Care and SHARE." Pat suggests that Agnes
Scott look deeper into this matter of CIMADE
that maybe some of our WSSF fund can go there,
or maybe an additional fund. Perhaps we can un-
dertake CIMADE as a new campus project. What
do you think about it A. S. C?

Presbyterian Men to Tour ASC
As Part of Southern Convention

Agnes Scott will be host to the men attending the Presby-
terian Men's Convention at an informal reception in order to
introduce Agnes Scott to the men of the Presbyterian Church.
It will be held in Rebekah lobby from 4:30 to 6:00 p. m., Sat-
urday afternoon, Nov. 5.

Miss Scandrett has called on
upperclassmen class presidents to
ask students from each class to
help with meeting the men and
showing them around the campus.
Members of the senior class are to
act as assistant hostesses, serv-
ing and conducting tours around
the campus.

Dr. James R. McCain, president,
has sent an invitation booklet
telling about the history of Agnes
Scott, its ideals, and including in-
formation about our present and
future plans for expansion, to each
of the several thousand men reg-
istered for the convention.

With the theme "Presbyterian
Men Serving Christ and the
Church," the 1949 Presbyterian
Men's Convention will meet at the
Atlanta Civic Auditorium from
November 4 6. The purpose is

"to confront the men with the
claims of Christ and the needs of
the world and to inspire and equip
men for more effective Christian
service in and through their own
churches."

The program includes a full
schedule of exhibits, panel dis-
cussions, music, movies, and talks.
Dr. Wallace Alston, vice president,
will read several of the devotions.
The week-end's activities will close
Sunday afternoon with a program
entitled "Through Personal Ded-
ication."

Plans for the convention, the
largest of its kind ever to take
place in the history of the South-
ern Presbyterian Church, have
been under way for two years.
Delegates from 16 states will be
on hand to represent the entire
church.

Grannies to Revive Childhood
With Little Girls' Day Friday

By Sally Veale

It looks as if the grandmothers here at Agnes Scott, better
known as the senior class, will have a chance to revive their
happy memories of childhood at Little Girls' Day, which

head of Little Girls' Day is Sally Thompson, under whose di-

'Spaniards' Go
To Gautemala

Have you ever been "way down
South" in Gautemala? Spanish
club is offering the college com-
munity a chance to visit this Latin
American country when Robert R.
Snodgrass tells of his trip there
at the Spanish club meeting No-
vember 3 at 7:30 p. m.

Mr. Snodgrass, president of the
Atlas Auto Finance company, has
done extensive traveling. During
his trip to Guatemala last fall, he
took quite a few colored movies,
which he will show and explain
at the meeting.

An active participant in civic
affairs in Atlanta, Mr. Snodgrass
is also an enthusiastic sportsman.
Last May while on a bear-hunting
trip in Alaska, he shot one of the
largest bears that has been gotten
in that area.

NSA Art Exhibit To Visit
Atlanta Area In Spring

Bringing the National Student Art Exhibit to Atlanta will
be one of the year's projects of NSA in the Georgia, Alabama,
Florida region, Roy Wiggins, regional president, told Repre-
sentative council recently. The section of the exhibit, which
will be here in the spring, will be divided between Agnes
Scott and Emory university.

Roy also stated that the NSA
plans for the year are "to make
the region the focal point of most
program implementation." This
decision is the result of the realiza-
tion that each region 'has different
problems and must use different
methods of solving them.

Besides the work on starting the
Purchase Card System, each cam-
pus in the region will undertake
a local project. Emory has chosen
for its project the installation of a
faculty evaluation plan.

The region has requested that
the national office place a sub-
commission of the Commission on
Educational Problems in Atlanta.
Work on this sub-commission
would mean co-operating with the
Southern Regional Conference in
race relations research.

It was also announced that in-
formation on the 1950 NSA-spon-
sored European tours is now avail-
able from the national office.

Newman Club

Meetings will be held semi-
monthly with the Emory Universi-
ty Newman club at the Emory
Student Activity Building, and
Mass for the members with break-
fast following is planned for the
third Sunday of every month.

New students at Agnes Scott
who have joined the club are Pat
Gleaton, Joan Riley, Mary Evans,
.Carolyn Holliday, and honorary
member Marilyn Roush.

Frosh be thinking of your
choices for class officers and exec
representatives. Nominations will

lationship of campus organizations
t< each other and to the class.

DRIVE-IN SERVICE

AS Episcopalians
Will Take Charter
From Association

Approximately fifty students on
the Agnes Scott campus make up
the Episcopal Club which is in the
process of receiving a charter from
the Association of Canterbury
Clubs. The Agnes Scott group
has been associated with the Em-
ory Canterbury Club for three
years and will continue to meet
with them after they receive their
own charter. Tom ' Duncan of
Emory, president, Cama Clarkson,
secretary, are the officers of this
combined group which meets the
second and fourth Sundays of ev-
ery month either at Holy Trinity
Church or at the home of a mem-
ber of that congregation. B. J.
Foster is the program chairman of
the Agnes Scott-Emory group and
the vice-president of the A. S.
Episcopal club.

The Agnes Scott group meets
twice a month in the McKinney
room of Main for a celebration
of Holy Communion; Mr. Harry
Tisdale, rector of Holy Trinity
Church, presides. The Altar Guild
for this year is made up of Cor-
nelia Dickerson and Ann Jones.

In order to fulfill the require-
ments of the Association of Con-
terbury Clubs, Virginia Feddeman,
president, announces that there
are many service plans in the
making. Miss Leslie Gaylord was
elected recently as the faculty ad-
visor for this group.

Woods Joins Staff
Of NSA 's 'Essai'

Marie Woods, class of 1951, was
appointed to the board of "Essai,"
N. S. A.'s literary magazine.

Marie, who is assistant editor
of the Agnes Scott News, on the
editorial staff of Aurora, and a
member of B. O. Z., will assume
her duties of getting stories and
poems from students here and
submitting them to the magazine.
She was appointed by Sarah
Tucker upon recommendation by
Miss Janef Preston, assistant pro-
fessor of English, who is faculty
representative to "Essai."

"Essai" might be described as
N. S. A.'s Aurora. It is made up
of short stories, poems, essays,
and literary criticism contributed
entirely by students.

Ralph L. Smith Cites Formation
Of Nat'l Student Association

(The following is a reprint from an article entitled "Now
Know NSA" by Ralph Lee Smith, found in the November is-
sue of "The Intercollegian.")

"... NSA is only two years old. This new name on the list
of venerable national student unions throughout the world
has already assumed a respected place among them, and, with
its broad basis of democratic rep-

Instead of being able to present
a comprehensive, constructive stu-
dent program, the disorganized
USA delegation found itself the
victim of an unremitting offensive
launched by well-briefed delega-
tions from communist countries.
Small Western European coun-
tries, which had looked up to the
United States for leadership, came
away disappointed and discour-
aged. And the 25 American stu-
dents came back to the United
States, dedicated to an idea in
which bitter experience had
taught them to believe.

"In December of 1946 a group
of a thousand students from col-
leges and universities throughout
the country met at the University
of Chicago to discuss that idea. A
United States National Student
Association, they decided, was not
only feasible and desirable, but
necessary."

resentation, and its comprehensive
domestic and international pro-
grams, bids fair to lead the way
in establishing new concepts of
student organization, action, and
service.

"NSA had a colorful and dra-
matic birth in the unrest of the
postwar American student com-
munity. A group of 25 American
students, on their way to repre-
sent the United States at an in-
ternational student assembly in
Prague in the summer of 1946,
first dreamed up NSA. These
25 students, whose story has be-
come the Homeric legend of the
National Student Association, say
that for lack of such an organiza-
tion, which could send official del-
egations to student conventions
throughout the world to represent
the American students' point of
view, the American position was
doomed to a fragmentary and in-
adequate presentation. At Prague
their worst fears were realized.

Aggies Halloween Weekend

Think, brain a theme a theme! These papers, assignments, and
scribbles are a jumbled up mess! Let's see Day Students, Main, Cot-
tages where did you go this week-end? If I put together all those
who went to the Homecoming dance, and all those who went to the
Seminary party on this page, things would be clearer, I guess! Golly,
Agnes Scotters certainly are popular and confusing!

Homecoming Highlights Halloween Holiday

You have to have a lead in journalism, so I'll lead out with Home-
coming. "Reck Tech" and the Blue Devils did! Even though Tech
lost out on that score, their Homecoming dance was
terrific. And here's a good place to list all who

Hey, roommate, listen to what this reporter has here The Sem-
inary party was a County Fair. The class rooms of the main build-
ing were fixed up like booths and side shows at a fair. They had stick
candy and balloons and a skit, too. After the party they all went
skating. Doesn't that sound wonderful? Here's who went Muriel
Gear, Pat Overton, Todd McCain, Ruth Vineyard, Ann Williamson,
Margaret Inman, Ruth Gaines, Helen Edwards and Sarah Tucker. The
problem is I can't think how to write all this up for the column!

The Goblins'll Getcha' if ya don't watch out ....

A'h-ha! Inspiration. Halloween would be a good theme then I
could work in all of these parties. We have Debutantes in our midst
and among them the Misses Donna Limbert and Kitty Warren. They
chose the Halloween Ball at the Driving Club to come out how be-
witching. The Alpha Kappa Psis at Emory used goblins and pumpkins
to decorate their lodge on Briarcliff Road Friday night. Martha
Fortson and Frances Gwen had a good time at their party. Joann
Wood and Betty McLellan went to a spooky party at the Phi Delt
house at Emory this week-end. The Delta Sigs were hosts to Mary
Ann Garrard, Ellen Hunter and Jo Holliman at a buffet supper and
Halloween party. One of the best holiday parties was the Square
Dance at the Decatur Presbyterian church. That evening will go
down in the diaries of lots of Agnes Scott girls Anna DaVault, Pat
Overton, Ruth Gudmundson, Betsy Tippins, Margie S.tukes, Bet Linton,
Cassie Simmons, and Todd McCain.

And yet there were so many parties where the witches didn't
ride .. . Oh, there's the phone hope it's some more news! Barbara
Young had a party for bride-to-be Jane Durham Cook. Isabel Trus-
low, Terrell Warburton, Nancy Martin, and Patty Phillips were there.
So glad she called.

This Jumbled-up Mess Rates no Head!

donw all these bits of news and see how it sounds. Here goes Mary
Jane NewlanM was at the Delta Tau house Friday night . . . heard
that Betty Holland, Cassie Simmons, and Ann McCleod had fun at the

Tech and Jinnie Brewer likes the ATO's at Emory. Ginny Feddeman
felt at home at the Phi Kappa Sig party Friday night a pin does help!
Nancy Lu Hudson and Charlotte Key went to Knoxville, Sally Thomp-
son went to Mercer, Libby Dunlap had a visitor from South Carolina.
Ginny Skinner's mother and brother were here (I didn't see any tears
in Warlick's eyes, either!) Jessie Carpenter is "moving Van" down
here for a week. And Barbara West has a new Lambda Chi pin but
from Duke.

Aggie Rides Her Broomstick on Week-end Jaunts

With all the activities going on in Atlanta, still many went visiting
over the week-end. Flo Kibler and Mary Hayes Barber went to the
North Carolina game, Jo Anne Christopher, Nancy Wilkinson, and
Jean Niven went to the Clemson game, Julie Cuthbertson went home
and Marg Hunt went to Griffin, Betty Finney went to Columbia, and
B. J. Foster went to Lakemont. Georgia celebrated Homecoming, too.
Amy Join s, Gregor Mitchell, Barbara Quattlebaum, Gwen Johnson
and Bess Lundeen all went to Athens.

Seen in the Sunday papers was a picture of Miss Scandrett and
Barbara Quattlebaum and an article on being a dean; and a picture of
Mif Martin and Jane Puckett at the football game. Weren't they cute?

Culture Corner

By Harriot Ann

You've convinced me! You Ag-
nes Scotters aren't Study-buddies!
You attend all of the concerts,
movies, plays and exhibits in At-
lanta and you read all the new
books. All I know about what is
going on is what I hear from
YOU! Stooge, they call me af-
fectionately, I presume!

Hark ye music lovers Atlan-
ta's concert halls beckon you.
World-famous violinist Fritz
Kreisler will be presented in re-
cital on Friday evening, Nov. 11.
He will come under the auspices
of the Atlanta Music Club and tic-
kets are on sale at the Cable
Piano Company.

We Attend the Opera

The second of our concert se-
ries programs is tonight. The
Wagner opera company is pre-
senting two one-act operas, Mas-
cagni's "Cavalleria Rusticana"
and "Pagliacci", by Leoncavallo.
But if you are an opera lover and
don't have a ticket for the con-
cert, why not listen to "La Tra-
viata" on WATL tonight at 8:30.

There are a lot of good movies
in town right now. "Intruder in
the Dust" opened today at the
Lowe's theater. It's a dramatic
story from the pen of William
Faulkner. The Fox showed a
sneak preview last week of a
coming attraction. Watch the pa-
pers for "Everybody Does It". I
heard it was hilarious! Horace
Heidt and his Stars on Parade
are coming to the Fox in person
in November 21. Who knows, you
may be one of the unsuspecting
bystanders to be on the air.

The Elite Meet to Eat

This week-end, being Investi-
ture, we'll probably all be play-
ing hostess. A good place to take

your parents for lunch is The
Korner in Decatur. It's new and
the food is good. And a lovely
place for them to take you is The
Plantation House on the highway
to Stone Mountain. It has Early
American furnishings and specia-
lizes in fried chicken and biscuits.
I heard that the Emile's have just
returned from France. If you like
French food, I recommend Em-
ile's Cafe. And then there are
Crossed Keys, the Town House
and Mammy's Shanty, of course.

Remember, you just aren't "Cul-
tured" unless you are a circus fan!
The Barnum and Bailey show will
be at the fairgrounds starting
November 10. See you there!

outs will be held Wednesday
through Friday of this week in
Murphey Candler from 4:00 to

aspects of campus social life, in-
stead of only the formal gather-
ings.

There will be an informal party
with bridge, dancing, music, and
cokes for refreshment on Wed-
nesday afternoon. Thursday will
be the date of a tea and open
house, and Friday will be the day

Select, Not Neglect, Sports
Says Athletic Association

By Marguerite Jackson

Are you neglecting your favorite athletics just because you
aren't taking them for credit in "gym" classes?

If so, cease, desist and stop! Athletic association and the
physical education department offer you a varied "extra-cur-
ricular" athletic program.

For these beautiful Indian sum-
mer or crisp, cool autumn days,
bicycles are available for riding
in and around the campus vicinity.
You will find them in the base-
ment of Murphey Candler. Just
sign your name and the time.

Parenthetically speaking, if you
want to help Athletic association
obtain some new bicycles, save
those labels from any Blue Horse
product. Each wrapper adds
"Blue Horsepower" toward a bi-
cycle for Agnes Scott. Members
of A. A. board will collect your la-
bels and send them to the Montag
company.

Miss Helena Williams has an-
nounced new plunge periods for
swimming. Tuesday and Saturday
afternoons and Saturday evenings,
the pool will be open provided at
least six girls come down to swim.

We suggest that you get your
friends together for a water party.
Two senior lifeguards will be on
duty at each of these times.

Until the rains and cold weather
matriculate to Agnes Scott, you
can play tennis on the courts be-
low the hockey field. (A helpful
hint: go to the right of the fence

Rained out in their third double-

with the freshmen. Then juniors
will clash against the sophomores.

Unless rain postpones these
make-up games, the seniors will
play the juniors; and the sopho-
mores, the freshmen Friday.

Visits to Funhouse, Alias Gym,
Can Solve Frustration Problems

By Clairelis Eaton

Even though the hockey field may look foreboding on a
gray rainy day, and even though we may dread that Friday
swimming class for fear that our hair will look like Bobby
Sox's in the evening, we've all got to admit that one of the
best spots on campus when we want fun is the gym. This year
there are several "added attrac-
tions" which range from the orig-
inal' choreography Miss Dozier's
modern dance class is writing for
the "Rape of the Lock" to Miss
Wilburn's bandaged finger (Miss
Williams' thumb is "bandageless"
now, y'know.)

A feature introduced this year
is the life guard group. So if
you're interested in swimming on
Tuesday or Saturday afternoons
or Saturday night, look up any
two of the following girls: Ginny
Brewer, Barbara Caldwell, Donya
Dixon, Charlotte Key, Gaby Men-
zel, Jenelle Spear, Joann Wood and
Mary .Lindsey. They have the
right to open the pool for a min-
imum of six' girls at these times.

When you go, you'll probably
w T ear one of the new tank suits.
They're not Paris creations but
they're most effective. Just ask
the girl who came to class in a
fire engine red one. She was most
startling, to say the least. So if
you're a frustrated individual who
never gets attention, get a new
red swim suit and come on down
to the pool. People will notice
you honest!

Faculty Swims,
Plays in Gym
Monday Nights

Monday p. m. is "faculty night"
down at the gym. Starting at 7:30,
they play shuffleboard, badminton
on the main floor or go for a swim
downstairs.

All the faculty, their spouses,
children and friends are urged to
participate. It's the time when the
faculty can get together for fun
and fellowship, Miss Williams em-
phasized.

An appeal will be made on campus next Monday through

Alston Evaluates Liberal Arts Education
At Senior Investiture Service Saturday

By Marie Woods

Speaking on the function of the liberal arts college, Dr.
Wallace Alston, vice-president, addressed seniors and their
families and friends at the investiture service Saturday.

After giving a short history of the service, Dr. Alston ex-
pressed the aim of the small, Christian liberal arts schools
as "rich, abundant, liberated liv-

not the blind children should be
included.

The committee, composed of the
treasurers of Student Govern-
ment, A. A., C. A., and the senior,
junior, and sophomore classes, has
adopted as its motto, "Dig Down
Deep."

Members of Lower House will
begin collecting Monday night in
the dormitories. Each dorm, cot-
tage, and day-student group will
have a quota. Each will 'have a
poster to record individual prog-
ress and there will be a poster in
Buttrick which will record com-
bined progress.

Nelson Glueck
Will Lecture
November 15

Dr. Nelson Glueck, archaeolo-
gist, will give two lectures at Ag-
nes Scott on Tuesday, Nov. 15, in-
cluding one in chapel Tuesday
morning on "Archaeology and the
Bible" and a public lecture Tues-
day evening at 8 p. m. on "King
Solomon's Copper Mines." He is
president of the Hebrew Union col-
lege Jewish Institute of Religion.

mg:

He went on to classify the
phases in which the college works
toward that goal. First, he stated
that the college may help the stu-
dent "to be" by emphasizing de-
velopment of well-rounded charac-
ter, especially Christian character,
and in "liberation of the mind" to
discover the "world of richness"
in which we live.

The college may also prepare
the individual "to do," not by
teaching him a specific vocation,
but by giving a broad base for any
activity, he w r ent on.

Dr. Alston described as part of
the preparation of the liberal arts
program, overcoming of the strain
of the materialistic culture, by
giving the individual criteria for
selection of important things and

teaching him "to do without."

He also stressed training of the
ind;vidual to face the realities of
life, including it's inevitable end,
with integration and "ability to
depart."

Gap Between Citizen, Leaders
Is Concern of J. P. Warburg

By Charlotte Key

In a world of "big business, big labor, and big government,"
in a time in which the "free world stands or falls on its be-
lief in government of the people, by the people, and for the
people," the duties of a citizen are to keep informed, separat-
ing fact from fancy, to form his own opinions, and to learn the
the value of and practice citizen

Hightower Building Opening Will Present
Miller Exhibit of Modern Abstract Art

By Dave Crane, editor of "The Engineer"

In a grand opening in the lobby of the new $1,750,000 Geor-
gia Tech Hightower Textile Building, Sunday, November 13,
the Miller Exhibit of modern abstract art will be presented
to approximately 500 invited guests. The exhibit, one of the
largest of its kind in the world, will be open to the general
public during the hours of 8:00

a. m. and 6 p. m. from Monday
November 14, to Sunday, Decem-
ber 12. The exhibit will not be
open on Saturday afternoons or
on any Sunday after November
13. The Miller collection, includ-
ing painting, sculpture, and mo-
biles, is brought here under the
joint sponsorship of the Georgia
Tech School of Architecture and
the Architectural Society|.

The Miller Company, a century
old firm of lighting manufacturers
from Meridian, Conn., has made
a collection of modern paintings,
sculpture, and mobiles with the

purpose in mind of illustrating the
influence of modern abstract art
on architectural and industrial de-
s'gn. Mobiles are the small deli-
cately-balanced, multi-surfaced ob-
jects which have led some to call
artists mentally unbalanced, but
which have nevertheless delighted
thousands of gallery-goers from
coast to coast. More than 36
great modern and 20th century ab-
stractionists are represented in
the Miller collection, including Pi-
casso, Juan Gris, Le Corbusier, de
Rivera, Braque, Leger, and John
Marin. The exhibit, described in

co-operation. This was the theme
of the lecture Friday night by
James P. Warburg, economist, au-
thor, and expert in international
affairs.

A second emphasis of Mr. War-
burg's talk was on the need for
a positive constructive foreign pol-
icy rather than the present one of
checking Communism and antici-
pating and frustrating Russia's
moves.

Mr. Warburg traced the rise of
big government in this country as
a means of protecting the con-
sumer from big business and big
labor, in spite of the American tra-
dition that the "best government
is the least." The effect of the
growth of government, business,
and labor has been, according to
Mr. Warburg, to widen the gap be-

tween the ordinary citizen and his
leaders. Though we still have a
government by the consent of the
governed, the consent of the gov-
erned is being more and more
secured by an appeal to emotion-
alism.

Our foreign policy is "fear-in-
spired," said Mr. Warburg. A
better way to contain communism
in Western Europe would be to
help the countries to recover eco-
nomically and to give the peoples
a psychological boost by assuring
them of our solidarity and support,
even to the point of helping them
in an actual physical struggle.
What is really required, however,
is "an act of faith" acting on de-
cisions made "as though there
were no Soviet Union in the
world."

ASC Gets Behind 'Cool Politeness'
Of Oxford Debaters' English Accents

By Hazel Karp

When Robin Day and Geoffrey Johnson Smith debated Bar-
bara Quattlebaum and Cissie Spiro Monday night, in Maclean
chapel, the actual debate was only the grand climax of an
exciting two days. Between the beginning, with a very blue
and cold Sunday morning at the terminal station and the end-
ing, with a very hurried trip back

to the terminal station, there was
an excellent chance for me to get
behind the cool politeness convey-
ed so easily merely by the English
accent.

Sunday morning two huge over-
coats walked up the steps of the
terminal station and three people
exchanged icy fingers. After Geof-
frey and Robin 'had thawed out
the Pi Alpha Phi early bird with
hot coffee, they were taken to the
Ansley hotel in Atlanta. Sunday
afternoon we took them to see the

Cyclorama, where they were im-
pressed both by the painting and
by the carefully learned speech of
the lecturer. From there they were
taken to see Atlanta's second
claim to fame, Stone Mountain.
Whether they were more impressed
by the size of the granite memor-
ial or by the hot popcorn is not
yet known. One certainty is that
they were both very friendly and
very receptive to whatever we had
planned for them.

From Stone Mountain we went
(Continued on page 2)

Oxford Debators

(Continued from page 1)

to the Emory campus to exhibit
the pink marble, and from there
to Dr. Hayes's home for tea, where
they revealed their political views
at length and gave us their anal-
ysis of England. From there, not
content with all the visiting they
had done, we took them to our
home, in order to show them their
third American home, Dr. Hayes'
home being their second, and a flat
in New York their first. This fin-
al move on the part of the Karps
was pure propaganda, and was sup-
posed to correct what must surely
be a warped opinion of the real
America.

Nylon Negotiations
Monday the two men went shop-
ping, mostly to buy nylons, which
are on the export lists and the
black markets of England. Being
shrewd men, they are paving their
way back to England with nylons.
They must certainly be capturing
the girls' hearts from the toes up.
Monday afternoon they were
shown the various buildings, in-
cluding that remarkable edi:ice,
Threadgill's. Monday evening,
preceding the debate, Pi Alpha Phi
entertained them with a banquet
at the Candler Hotel in Decatur.
They both spoke at the banquet,
;.nd mentioned certain aspects of
life at Oxford which were certain-
ly surprising. They hinted but
vvf.uld never fully erplain being a
number of ih^ Bath Club, who^e
ir-.iation consists in having had
a hath in one of the Women'.^ col-
leges.

Monday night the two men up-
held their reputations in the de-
bate. Not only did they affirm thp
proposition that t^e public ownet-
Sl4p of basic industries and essen-
tial services is in the be t iniu-
ests of a democratic society, } ut
they did so fn two ways. G ?o\~oy
speke as a sincere socialis* nd
Robin as a sincet? liberal. Theie
was little mid singing, Lee- .use
b< ! i the negat've zr.d the afftrai-
ative realized 'hai politics both
here and abroad are not of the fin-
8*1 liber. There>was no daemon
given for the drl < te, but if there
had been, the net at ve Agnes Scott
girls would have undermined thvnv
S3fr&s by the ; r re erences t> fV .e
Corrupt politi iaas in Amor

The negative felt that control
had to be administered, but that
only special persons would be
Capable; that ordinary politicians
are corrupt; that such measures as
the Sherman Anti-trust act were
effective checks to big business
monopolies. The affirmative then
reaffirmed their arguments by
showing how the Anti-trust laws
are not the only check needed in a
democratic society, because they
are not efficient enough.

Although their English accents
are almost identical, the two de-
bators are quite different. Robin
spoke as we would have thought
Churchill would have spoken, had
he heen here. Robin had an ex-
cellent gift of rhetoric. Geoffrey,
on the other hand, was not quite
so cool as Robin, and in his rebut-
tal spoke quite feelingly from the
sincere convictions of his own be-
liefs.

\meriean Argument

It is true that English debators,
if these two were a fair example,
do speak more closely to the au-
dience, attemptiiig to interject
humor and rhetorical appeal,
whereas the American tends to
be more statistic conscious, and
more systematically business-like.
What our girls had which the
Englsh lacked was the real fire
which makes a heated argument in
the American tradition.

Slings and Arrows

By Helen Edwards

The alarm went off at six
o'clock, and we jumped out of bed
Lke excited five-year-olds at
Christmas. Then we fell back in
bed like bedraggled seniors at the
end of five hours' sleep. But all
the other little girls were calling
us to come play, so we had to hur-
ry down to join the rest of the
class of 50 in its Commando at-
tack on the naive dormitory resi-
dents.

And you saw the class of 50!
Boys worst than Peck's fanciest
dreams; cream puffs of little girls
in organdy and bows; a baby girl
in blue flannel, and angel hair
all looking hilariously like en-
largements of snapshots from the
family album.

We played ring-around-the-rosey
and had bubble gum, water pis-
tols, "Mamma" dolls, and sling-
shots. We tore moss from stones
left undisturbed since that last
game of cops and robbers some
ten or twelve years ago.

Some of the moss, however, was
left intact, because by chapel
time we were feeling our age, not
mentally or intellectually (would
that were the case) as much as
physically. Even Warlick and
Genie were taking the steps slow-
ly, and the poor Library Lizzies
were simply txhausted. There was
hardly enough energy in the whole
of the class of 50 to squeeze a
water gun.

And we donned the robes with
nostalgic, memories but no re-
grets. Childhood had been well
aged, but we were no longer con-
noisseurs.

So here we are Seniors. Sen-
ior women, and fully aware of it,
having left childhood waving from
the dock. But please be indulgent
if sometimes, even now, we
look back and wave. Maybe we
are wondering what color her
eyes are.

Poll Seeks Pro, Con Opinions on Black Cat;
Vote Stresses Frosh Organization, Time Limits

By Joann Peterson

Training for Girl Scout leaders
is the exciting, new project which
C. A. has recently undertaken.
Mrs. Collins, promoter of this en-
terprise, calls the Agnes Scott en-
thusiasts an "answer to a prayer."

There is a need for Scout assis-
tants in this area since most of the
troops have folded' up due to lack
of leaders. The four schools which
we will be connected with are;
Ponce de Leon, Clarkston, Oak-
hurst and Glenwood. If more girls
are interested, Charlotte Bartlett
hopes to include the underprivi-
leged school between our campus
and Clarkston on our list.

Sue Hefner, Helen Edwards,
Bet Linton, and Susan Hancock
are the girls who have Already de-
cided to take this training pro-
gram. This program began Tues-
day night of this week and there
will be another meeting Thurs-
day from 7-10 p. m.

This training process will run
on into January, and it will cul-
minate in an outdoor supper in
Mrs. Collins' home.

The troops wil meet immediately
after school from 2:30 to 3:30.
Each person has a choice between
working with Brownie or Girl
Scouts groups.

.Although you cannot have com-
plete charge of a troup until you
are 21, this training is essentiial
in order to be a scout assistant, j
It includes 18 hours of invaluable
study which will help you in any
recreational job. *

If you are interested, see Char-
lotte or any member of the cab-
inet. It is a wonderful opportun-
ity, and you are needed.

Amy Jones, junior boarder:

Black Cat should stay the way it
is with definite limitation's, which
no one can sl.p around. It .defi-
nitely organizes the frosh, shows
who their leaders are, creates a
spirit of friendly rivalry, and
gives them a closeness to their
sister class.

Jane LaMaster, junior boarder:
It ought to be changed the soph-
omores inevitably win. As for a
substitution, I think that the sis-
ter classes ought to work on some
kind of "tradition."

Joann Wood, junior boarder: 1
don't think that Black Cat has
gotten out of hand nor do I see
any reason for the breaking up of
the tradition! It unifies the class
and provides good, clean compe-
tition.

Sally Lou Dickert, junior day
student: It definitely should be
changed; the point should be to
make it less hard and less finish-
ed. As for a substitution, if we
must have something along the
"tradition" line, then I suggest a
"Sing"; but I think it would be
better still to have something
along the social line such as a
Black Cat dance sponsored by the
freshman class for the sopho-
mores.

Martha Ann Stegar, junior
Boarder: We ought to keep the
traditional Black Cat, but we
shouldn't make it such a finished
production. The classes get an in-
tangible something from it. It is
a spirit of being an actual parti-
cipant of Agnes Scott.

Esther Adler, junior boarder:
We ought to keep Black Cat ex-
actly as it is; but if there is to be
any change, the freshmen ought
to strive to make it more of a
finished production comparable to
the sophomore skit this year.

Carol Jacobs, freshman, day stu-
dent: Black Cat should be chang-
ed. There is 'need for something
competitive which would benefit
and interest more people than
simply the participating classes
and other students. Perhaps some-
thing like a carnival which would
interest people from "outside."

Ellen Hull, junior boarder: I
think Black Cat should be kept.
It is a fine tradition, but it would
be a good idea to restrict the time

spent working on it. Maybe it would
be possible to have it a little later
in the year, after the freshmen
are better adjusted.

Louise Jett, sophomore, boarder:
We should keep Black Cat. It
would be a good idea to restrict
it and maybe make it less com-
petitive.

Su Honey, junior, day student:

Black Cat should remain. It really
unifies the classes. And it would
be hard to find something equal-
ly good to substitute. You notice
that the people who want to do
away with Black Cat don't offer
anything definite to substitute.

Barbara Barber, freshman, day
student: Yes, I think Black Cat
is a good thing. It's a tradition
and very good competition.

Liza Pollard, junior boarder:
Black Cat should stay as it is un-
less it could be made more worth-
while. It should still contain the
elements of competition, the skit,
and the singing. It helps the mem-
bers of the participating classes
to know each other, and it helps
to unify the classes.

Kitty Freeman, soph o m o r e
boarder: Black Cat takes too
much time for the sophomores and
is purposeless for them since the
class is already organized. It
should be replaced by something
in which the freshmen could earn
the cat.

Pat W illiams, sophomore board-
er: Black Cat is too local; the end
is not worth the means. A sub-
stitute could be a field day spon-
sored by an off-campus organiza-
tion. An admission could be charg-
ed, and the money be turned over
to charity.

Suzanne II e t n e r, freshman
boarder: Black Cat needs more
organization. It should be kept.
There should not be separate com-
mittees but a number of specific
jobs. As it is now, too few people
do all the work.

Isabel Truslow, senior boarder:
The emphasis should be changed
to a more worthy cause. There
should be a charge for admission,
the money going to charity.

Phyllis Fisher, freshman board-
inated, but modified; for now the
work is done by a few people. It
is a part of Agnes Scott, though,
and perhaps there could be a pro-

er: Black Cat should not be elim-
ject for the freshman class alone
in which everyone would take a
part.

Dot Davis, senior boarder: Black
Cat doesrTt serve the purpose it
was started for. Something else,
keeping the same theme, could
unify the class better than Black
Cat.

Jenelle Spear, junior boarder:

Black Cat should be kept with
modifications. It is an important
tradition, the competition helps
develop class spirit, and the sis-
ter class can keep the rivalry on
a friendly level. The freshmen and
sophomores could work together
on one thing, perhaps a song; and
there could be some limit on the
elaborateness.

Adaline Miller, freshman board-
er: Black Cat does not achieve
what it should for the freshman;
it is more valuable for the sopho-
mores. It should be later in the
year.

Norma Waldrop, freshman
boarder: Black Cat. is good. It
helps unify (he class and gives
that "extra something" of class
school spirit and feeling of be-
longing.

I'll Manage

By Alline Marshall

Investiture is indeed a moun-
tain-top experience culminating
many emotions which have been
developing since the initiation of
our college career.

At the suggestion of personal in-
ventory, most of us have conscious-
ly reviewed our activities for the
past three years our hopes, fail-
ures, lost opportunities, achieve-
ments, and advances and have
compared our present state of de--
vclopment with that of the tim'd,
confused greenhorn who three
years ago embarked in search of
more efficient means of living an
abundant life , ,

Progres shas been made; for ev-
en vvc, as individuals and a group
are aware of amazing changes that
have been brought about in three
years' lime. The present senior-
class silhouetted against the hack-
ground of the freshman class of
1946 is scarcely recognizable. The
earlier sense of insecurity and in-
significance has been replaccl by
a feeling of belonging and assur-
ance. A better understanding of
people and the enjoyment of their
company has been acquired. A
measure of social grace and ease
has been unconsciously added. Re-
ligious faith has been strengthened
and expanded by the consistent
Christian atmosphere which per-
vades the campus. Physical well-
being has been maintained and ev-
en academic progress has been no-
ticeable at times.

I do not focus attention on the
evidences of progress to pat the
senior class on the back, but as a
sprirg board to express sincere
gratitude to those who have con-
tributed to our advancement.
,Too often we have taken for
granted the efforts of the faculty
and administration to he-p us make
proper adjustments. Too often we
have misunderstood and unjustly
criticized Too often we have fail-
ed to acknowledge the 'Tttle ex-
tras" which have been done be-
yond the call of duty.

This seems to be an opportune
time to re-evaluate the opportun-
ities extended to us and to become
more aware of efforts made in our
behalf.

Costumes for Play Will Revive
Era of Hoop Skirts, Gold Canes

By Sally Jackson

Hoop skirts and bustles, bonnets and capes, top hats and
gold canes, all are part of nineteenth century fashions and
of special interest to Vippi Patterson. Vippi is chairman of
costumes for the Blackfriars' play, "Eastward in Eden," which
is set in the period from 1850 to 1880.

Her job differs from that of

past costume chairmen. Ordinari-
ly the costumes are ordered from
a specialty company which rents
them. The men's costumes with
their Prince Albert coats will be
ordered, but the women's clothes
will be the creations of Vippi and
her committee. The stage offers
possibilities here, for its language
is one of effect. One must but
know the unique devices which
produce the required effect; laces
and ruffles combined with ingenu-
ity equal untold results.

Costumes is not the only com-
mittee hard at work. Other com-

mittes and their chairmen are
scenery, Liza Pollard; makeup,
Marijean Alexander; sound effects,
Jean Niven and Emily Ann Reid;
lights, Ann Griggs; house, Margie
Major and Charlotte Key; pro-
gram, Dina Lee, properties, Amy
Jones; publicity, Jackie Sue Mes-
ser. Stage manager is Gretta
Moll, and Adelaide Ryall is promp-
ter.

Diary Hears Senior s Story
Of Weekend Invested in Fun

By Harriot Ann

Dear Diary,

Well, it's come and gone the week-end I've waited for four years
Investiture. In this case, the exception proved the rule, cause the real-
ization was greater than the anticipation. I'll have to staple a few
extra pages in here to give a full account of all the activities.

The week-end was ushered in at six o'clock Friday morning by 119
little girls and boys in pinafores and Cub Scout suits. The typical
trappings, horns, balloons, lizards, water p.'stols,
and baby dolls made dignified seniors children again
for a little while. And what fun we had, too. But
with the donning of the cap and gown and the sing-
ing of the alma mater, we put away childish things.

Later that evening we came out in strapless for-
mals to resume the role of young ladies. The Sigma
Nu formal was a highlight of that evening. Alumna
Julianne Cook and sister, Carolyn, sponsors of the
Tech and Emory chapters, gave a dance for the
brothers and dates at Peachtree Gardens. Helen
Jean Robarts, Beryl Crews, Carol Lou Jacob, Sara
Sarnmonds, Martha Fortson, Virginia Clair Hayes,
Chris Allen, Gaby Menzel, Betty McLean, and Dot Harian all agreed the
dance was a huge success.

And diary, there was a Ship-wreck party at Emory Friday night
that sounded like so much fun. The Delta Taus entertained Anne-
Baxter, Betty McLellan, Sue Gauger, who went costumed for the occa-
sion. I'll make a note of the Kappa Sig house dance Friday night. For
details, see the diaries of Kay Krouth and Donya Dixon.

And Now We Are Seniors

The excitement of Investiture was beyond description. It was
greater than the total excitement of the first day at college, the first
formal and orchid, winning Black Cat, May Day, and election day that
I've told you about. It was greater because it was steeped in tradi-
tion, simple ceremony and meaning. Diary, I think you understand.

I topped the busy day by taking my, parents to the Penthouse. I
saw Ann Green, Norah Anne Little, Sara Jane Campbell, and Ann
Thomason with their mothers. Despo Mathison danced to the music
of Freddie Martin at the Piedmont Driving Club. Jane Oliver ended
the gala day at the Paradise Room, and Joann Peterson went to Ra-
mon's for dinner with her family.

This was a week-end for parties, too. The Beta house at Tech at-
tracted Isabel Truslow and Ann Gebhardt. That's getting to be a nice
habit. The Emory Phi Delts staged a barbecue at the Walter R.
Thomas farm. Seen there were Joann Wood, Ellie McCarty, Sylvia
Williams and Dot Rollins.

As I looked out of my window at the full moon Saturday night, I
thought about the fun that Sally Jackson, Sara Sarnmonds, Betty Wil-
liams, Margaret Hopkins, and Mary Louise Mattison were having on
the Tech Sigma Chi hayride.

One Big Happy Family

It is apparent that this was a parent week-end. The arrival of mine
made my week-end perfect. And I was not the only lucky girl on
campus. L had a wonderful t'me meeting families of my colleagues.
Some of those whom I met were Jean Osborn, Joanne Christopher
(Julius was there, too), Vippi Patterson, Emily Ann Reid, Lyd Gardner,
Ann Green, Jane Oliver, Alyee Ryan, Alary Alice MacDonald, Joann
Peterson, Elaine Blaine, Betty Harrell, Jean Edwards, B. J. Crow t her.
Dot Davis, Charlotte Bartlett, Todd McCain, Pat Overton, Helen Ed-
wards, Ann Williamson, Frankie Morris, Ann Haden, Sarah Tucker,
Norah Anne Little, Sara Jane Campbell, Ann Roark, Alline Marshall,
Cama Clarkson, Jane Hook, Helen Land, Ann Thomason, Sally Thomp-
son. Jess e Hodges, Jane Hambrick, Sue McSpadden, and Ann Irwin.

Some of the girls who entertained other guests were Genie Pascal,
Libby Dunlap, Barbara Lawson, Gretta Moll, Jane Niven, Ann Mc-
Donald, Carol Edwards, Cornelia Dickerson, Ann Jones, Roberta Wil-
liams, Mary Birmingham, Ruth Whiting, Jane Hill, and Ann Windham.

Well, diary, it's over. I'll not know such excitement till commence-
ment week. It's a good thing 'cause I do need to do a bit of study-
ing and get a little sleep.

Juniors Win Over Seniors, 1-0;
Sophomores Defeat Frosh, 4-1

By Charlotte Key

In the two games Friday between "neighbor" classes, the
juniors defeated the seniors 1-0, and the freshmen fell to the
sophomores 4-1.

The first was a fast game, the outcome of which was in
doubt until the final whistle. Especially in the first half did

both teams exhibit skillful play- -

ing in tackling and dribbling. The
ball traveled up and down the
field at a fast clip. In the sec-
ond half, there was a tendency to
hit the ball into the opponents'
sticks. On one of the many trips
to the senior goal, Virginia Fedde-
man made the only point.

It was not long after the begin-
ning of the second game that Win-
nie Strozier succeeded in scoring
for the sophs. Throughout the
half, the ball stayed at the frosh
goal most . of the time, but the
sophs scored once more when Jane
Windham sent the ball to its "hap-
py hunting grounds." During the
second half, the ball was seen
more frequently at the goal de-
fended by the sophomores, and
Adaline Miller scored for the frosh.
Also during the half, the sophs
got two points through the work
of Jane Windham and Ann Her-
man.

Combined Charity Issues Last Call

Solicitors Ask Contributions
For $2000 Campus Goal

Tomorrow is the last day yoii can "Dig Down Deep" for
the Combined Charities drive. The drive with a $2,000 goal
has been underway since Monday. Lower House members
and selected day students are soliciting the campus com-
munity. \

Sally Lou Dickert, treasurer of
Student Government, presented
the percentages as agreed upon
by Represent aive Council to the
student body in chapel last Thurs-
day. The money will be divided* as
follows: W. S. S. F., 80 per cent;
Community Chest, 10 per cent;
Blind Children, 10 per cent.

A letter was read explaining
the absence of the Red Cross from
the Combined Charities. "In a
' combined drive the Red Cross
loses its identity. As the Red Cross
depends to a large extent upon vol-
untary workers, we are more anx-
ious to have an opportunity to ex-
plain its purposes and aims in a
drive than simply to secure
money."

The quotas for the dorms are as
follows: Main $312; Rebekah,
$360; Inman, $368; Boyd, $56
Gaines, $44; Mary Sweet, $52
Cunningham, $36; Lupton, $44
combined Day Students, $700.

The money collected in the Sun-
day Investiture service amounted
to $84 and has been added to the
Combined Charities drive. The
thermometer in Buttrick lobby is
registering the progress of the
drive.

J. R. McCain to Speak
To Frosh Club Tomorrow

At '53 club meeting tomorrow,
Dr. James R. McCain, president,
will give some words of advice to
the fresh. After the talk, there
will be the election of officers for
the year.

Leadership That Servies."

Mortar Board, senior women's

Phi Sigma, honorary biological
fraternity at Emory university,
has elected five Agnes Scott girls
as members of its group. They
are Barbara Caldwell, Jenelle
Spear, B. J. Crowther, Emily Ann
Reid, and Ann Griggs.

Phi Sigma is a student organiza-
tion for undergraduate and gradu-
ate students in biology for the pur-
pose of promoting interest in biol-
ogy and opportunity for the pres-
entation of subjects that are not
confined to the classroom and are
of interest to biologists. Agnes
Scott does not have a chapter of
Phi Sigma.

Miss Nancy Groseclose, and
Miss Elizabeth Bridgeman, in-
structors of biology, are faculty
members. Other girls from Agnes
Scott who were elected earlier to
Phi Sigma are Alline Marshall,

Foreign Universities Need
Books, Student Materials

Since the W. S. S. F. is receiving 80 per cent of the Combined
Charities money, background information is pertinent to the
student body about this organization. Three years after the
second World War, the devastated universities are being re-
built from the ruins to which they were deduced. This recon-
struction has been undertaken by
the government of foreign coun-
tries, national voluntary agencies,
educational institutes and many
thousands of individuals who are
working increasingly hard for
their centers of learning.

Most of the little money which
is received from these groups and
agencies must be spent on food,
clothing and shelter. They must
somehow secure additional money
for their books and student mater-
ials if they are to learn.

CROWDED CONDITIONS

The university life today calls
for standards of physical and men-
tal vigour which cannot be main-
tained under present conditions in
these devastated centers. In some
colleges the enrollment is triple
the pre-war figure, which makes
lecture rooms so crowded that
copies of notes are sold at black
market prices to those unable to
gain admission. A single book
may in the course of a day pass
through the hands of a dozen or
more students who copy out ex-
tracts into tattered notebooks or
any odd scraps of paper they can
find. Some students even sell
parts of their pitiful food ration
so that they may acquire tools to
study.

HOSTEL IN GREECE

Often an individual case throws
l. ; ght on a situation. There a
W. S. R. field worker's account of
a student hostel in Athens, Greece,
one of the most needy areas:

"The roof leaked so badly tnat
the winter rains dripped on the
torn sheet and blanket covering
of a sick student from Macedonia.
I hesitated to climb the stairs, for
the wood was rotting and four of
the steps had fallen in. The brok-
en window panes freely allowed

the winds to chill the crowded
room where six students sleep.
Flies fought for the left-over
crumbs on the dining room table
n the basement recreation room,
where another student studied
chemistry by the light of a single
60 watt bulb.

"Forty students from Thrace
and Macedonia live in this hostel.
The building was condemned in
1943, but students secretly moved
in during the occupation and have
been living there ever since. It
is a welcome shelter to young men
who might otherwise have to sleep
on the stone floor of a garage or

.Leading the class of 1953 will
be their new officers, headed by
Dona Dugger, president. New
members of Executive Council are
Ann Cooper and Mary Lindsey.
(The vice-president and secretary-
treasurer were elected this morn-
ing.)

Donna, better known as "Dug," 1
hails from Sheffield, Ala. She is
a member of the freshman choir.
While in high school she edited the
annual, won an honor award for
outstanding leadership, and was:
chosen as the "most versatile" girl
in the class.

Ann comes from Chapel Hi IT,
N. C. She was a member of the
senior honor society in her high
school, and belonged to the na-
tional honor society. She was also
membership chairman of the local
Y-Teen.

Mary, a Georgian from Griffin,
was business manager of her high
school publication, a cheerleader,
and president of the speech club.

Sewell, Winter Will Introduce
Playwriting Course to Campus

A course in playwriting will be offered in the winter and
spring quarters under the joint instruction of Miss Roberta
Winter and Mrs. Frank A. Sewell. This course gives a
chance to those who have done poetry and narrative writing
to try their talents in dramatic writing and also to see their
own works produced.

Miss Roberta Winter is qualified
for this position not only by her di-
recting ability but also by the fact
that she has had a three act play,
"Bridal Chorus," published by the
Longman Green company.

Mrs. Sewell, mother of Edith
Sewell, freshman, has had seven
one act plays published by the
Samuel French company, and also
by the Baker company in Boston.
One of her plays,. "Pink and Pat-
ches," was taken to New York by
the Blackfriars group in 1928 un-
der the direction of Miss Frances
Gooch, and the presentation won
first prize as the best production
of an original play in the National
Little Theater Tournament Plays
and the David Belasco Cup Con-
test.

Another one of her plays, "Light
and Candles,"' was published in
the Carolina Folk Plays by the
University of North Carolina.

The aim of this course is to give
insight into drama as a* mode of
arti9tic expression, to give to all
interested students the chance to
learn the discipline of writing in
the accepted form of one act plays,
to give to the more talented stu-
dents the opportunity of produc-
ing or seeing in production their
original plays.

This course was decided upon
recently and therefore is not in
the catalogue. Three hours credit
will be given for a quarter. The
time will arranged to suit the sche-
dules of students; the prerequisite
is English 211. It is open to jun-
iors and seniors but sophomores
who are registered in 211 and who
are particularly interested in cre-
ative writing may take the course
on special recommendation. The
winter quarter may be taken with-
out having the spring quarter, but
the spring quarter has to be pre-
ceded by the winter quarter.

Trip to Europe
Is Story Told
In Art Exhibit

By June Price

From London to Florence is the
story told by the exhibit in 321
Buttrick of 13 water colors by
Henry C. Forman, professor of
art.

Rich harmonious colors are es-
pecially evident in this exhibit,
particularly in the study, "Sunset
at Val d'Arns." Interesting spec-
ial relationships and methods of
suggesting light are also to be
noted.

There are Swiss houses, Tuscan
farms, and Italian street scenes
painted in soft, flowing lines. This
exhibit is interesting in its vari-
ety as well as in composition and
technique.

Day Student Council
Plans for Quarter

The two- week-old day student
council met last Wednesday to
plan for the quarter.

The purpose of the council is
to provide day students an organ-
ization to take concrete and cre-
ative action in response to their
requests.

Carol Jacobs, Ann Sears, and
Clairelise Eaton were appointed to
be in charge of the bulletin boards
in day student rooms in Buttrick,
Main basement, and 400 and 401
Main respectively. Plans were
made for a get-together for day
students at lunch time in the Pair-
a-dice room. Having a tea for
day students and parents later in
the year was discussed.

Emily Pope is chairman of the
day student council. Members are
the day student members of Low-
er house .and Executive council.
The girls are Carol Jacobs, Ann
Sears, Clairelise Eaton, Katherine
Dickey, and Betty Ziegler.

Student Body Will Determine
Webster Production Tomorrow

By Ellen Hull

A shrew or Caesar that is the question.

Students themselves are to determine whether the Mar-
garet Webster Shakespeare company will present Shake-
speare's comedy, "The Taming of the Shrew," or the familiar,
"Julius Caesar," this winter. A recent poll of some faculty
members reveals sound reasons for
the selection of either play.

Drama Give and Take

Miss Frances Gooch, associate
professor of English, says she
thinks "The Taming of the Shrew"
lends itself more fully to the "give
and take" of drama. She is afraid
that the long speeches of "Julius
Caesar" will provide recollections
of high school days for many stu-
dents rather than an opportunity
for an imaginative entrance into
the plot. On the* other hand, Miss
Roberta Winter, instructor in
speech, prefers "Julius Caesar"
because she has taught it, and be-
cause she has not seen the play
produced since the thirties.

Tragedy or Comedy

Also from the English depart-
ment, Mr. George P. Hayes, pro-
fessor, thinks "Julius Caesar" the
greater play and points out that
students are more familiar with
it. But Miss Emma May Laney,
associate professor, says, "I prefer
'The Taming of the Shrew' because
it's a lot of fun. We had a tragedy
last year and would like to see
what this company can do with a
comedy." Similarly, Miss Ellen
Douglass Leyburn, associate pro-
fessor, thinks "The Taming of the
Shrew" more entertaining.
A Kiss For Kate?

Miss Isabella Wilson, assistant
dean of students, feels that we
should take advantage of the op-
portunity to see "Julius Caesar"
since it is not produced so often.
That "The Taming of the Shrew"
is particularly timely is pointed
out by Miss Muriel Ham, profes-
sor of German and Spanish, be-
cause of the Broadway production,
"Kiss Me Kate."

The actual decision will be made
by students in a student meeting
tomorrow.

C. A. Halo

By Helen Edwards

It's "Jenny Cracked Corn an' I
Don't Care," and what happened
to the othej five Brownies?

There you are, teaching 14 nine-
year-olds how to play, and sud-
denly you are left with only nine,
which, in a game with partners,
leaves someone without, so you
jump in at "Roll 'Em Boys" and
dance with the group, feeling very
much liike a Gulliver in Lilliput.
Three had to go home on the bus,
the other two will be back as
soon as they call their mothers;
they hadn't known there was to
be anyone to organize the troop
this week they had been promis-
ing for so long.

After you've danced some of
the energy out of your rambunc-
tious charges, you can tell them a
story they love an animated ren-
dition of "Little Red Riding
Hood." Then you see how many
have done a good deed every day
for the past week, and every hand
goes up but Margaret's, and she
was sick one day but she was
real sweet and didn't bother Moth-
er too much, so that counts.

Before you know it, it's time to
go home, so you all get in a
"Friendship Circle" and sing
"Taps," while everyone makes a
wish for somebody else. Then all
join hands and make a "Magic
Tunnel," through which all the
Brownies vanish like good elves
and run along home.

You come on back to school, too,
glad you went because now you
don't feel so "campused" and you
know the little girls had gotten
something they had needed for a
long time. You also hoped you
could talk some of the other girls
into doing some Girl Scout work.

Fluffy Dresses and Stardust
Come True in Land of Dreams

By Harriot Ann

Ho, hum guess I'll take just a little cat nap before the week-end
starts, so I'll have a lot of pep. There's such a big week-end ahead
of me see you in my dreams. . . .

Where am I? Looks like fairyland. Is that a rainbow cloud or
cotton candy over there? Hmm, it moved it's a pretty lady in a
puffy pink dress riding bareback on a dashing white horse. And look
at the monkeys 'n' clowns 'n' tiny dogs 'n' trapeze artists. Gee, I must
be dreaming, or is this the circus? Up there near
the top of the tent are some Agnes Scott girls, I
believe. Yeh, there's Barbara Brown, Betty Hol-
land, Sybil Corbitt, Flo Kibler; and there's Jean
Osborn, Betsy Hodges, Janet Sowell, Charlotte Ev-
ans, Betty Finney, Betty Mobley, and Virginia Claire
Hayes. I'll bet they're having fun. There's Beryl
Crews and Lyd Gardner eating cracker jacks and
laughing and laughing . . .

So many people laughing and yelling and over a
silly ole push ball. How did I get over to Emory?
Those poor freshmen are the brunt of the upperclass-
men's blows and jokes. Roberta Williams, Jane
Hambrick, Ann Griggs. Betty Finney, Charlotte Bartlett, and Jean
Osborn look as if they are having a wonderful time. Those poor boys
are going to be in sad shape for the dance tonight.

Dreamy-eyed Damsels Dance in the Dark

Dance tonight dance tonight Far away I hear the Auburn Knights
playing Stardust (and Dixie!). I see g^ant-sized fraternity pins in
bright lights around the Emory gym. There are hundreds of pretty
girls waltzing in beautiful gowns and almost everyone of them is from
Agnes Scott. There are so many of my school friends on the dance
floor how can I possibly remember everybody who is here. It's worse
than counting sheep jumping over a fence, and I'm so^sleepy . . .
,A ceiling of blue and white crepe paper, brilliant flags from all of the
companies, and so many men in uniforms. Mmm, I must be dreaming.
I see Dechy Armstrong, Betsy Hodges, Georganna Buchanan, Frankn
Howerton, Ann Griggs, Charlotte Evans, and Janet Sowell, dancing in
their pretty evening dresses.

What could be more dreamy than dancing under the stars at the
Sky Roof with a Med. student? I floated by and spotted Annelle
Simpson, Marg Hunt, Lillian Ball, Lola Pureell, Dot Rollins, Adele Lee,
Ann Windham, Anne Goolsby, and Anita Coyne.

This is the stuff dreams are made of: Flo Kibler, Ruth Gaines, Ann
Parker, Shirley Heath, Susan Hancock, and Winn'e Strozier at the KA
picnic in gypsy costumes . . . Vippi Patterson in Cuba with her par-
ents . . . Margie Major, Ann Gebhardt, Helen Edwards, Virginia Skin-
ner, Beryl Crews, Norah Anne Little, Bess Lundeen, and Donna Lim-
bert in Birmingham for the week-end (only it turned out to be Tech's
nightmare!) . . . Lil Lasseter on the Georgia Junior college hayride . . .
Suanne Bowers, Adeline Miller, and Rosalyn Kennedy at the ATO
house dance at Emory . . . Barbara West and Ellen Hunter at the
Tech Delta Tau house dance ... Betty Williams and Annnelle Simp-
son at the Sigma Chi house at Tech.

Pins and Rings Tell of Dreams Come True

Three Agnes Scotters had Stardust sprinkled in their eyes this week-
end Ann McLeod has a Notre Dame pin, June Smith got a River sid
pin, and have you seen Jeanne Smith's beautiful diamond? She':
dreaming of a December wedding, I he:ar.

Many Agnes Scott students took heed to that new song, "Dreamer's
Holiday," and traveled this week-end. Carolyn Wettstein, Adelaide
Ryall, Betty Cheney went home with Florence Worthy; Kitty Currie
Muriel Gear, Kassie Simmons went to Marietta with Betty Holland
Lorna Wiggins, Gwen Johnson, and Pat Williams went to their homes
Virg nia Arnold took Betty Finney home with her, Betty Mobley an;
Anne Kincaid went to Columbus, Anna de Vault, Dot Davis, and Bett;
Arthur went home. B. J. Crowther went to Clemson, Ann Wyatt wen
to Ann Potts' home, and Mary Virginia Youngblood went home, toe.
Martha Ann Stegar and Amy Jones went to the Tech-Alabama game.

Where am I now? There's a cfueen over there, whose title is "Mis
Plumb Beautiful." Someone said she's from Agnes Scott, but every
thing is so hazy I can't see her face and now she's vanished . . .'Wish
I knew who she is.

Hmm, aren't dreams wonderful. Wish I could live in the land of
dreams forever and forever, and never wake up.

and the juniors won over the freshmen 4-0.

The ball stayed at the soph goal most of the first half and a
great part of the second. Mary

Louise Warlick made two goals
for the seniors during the first
part. The grass in the middle of
the field was trampled more dur-
ing the second naif. The other
senior scores were made by Genie
Paschal and Sally Thompson.

During the second game, the ball
also found its way most of the
time to the goal of the losing team.
Jimmie Ann McGee scored twice
for the juniors, and Julie Cuthbert-
son and Liza Pollard, once each.

Srs. Win Swimming Meet

While studying the stars with
Harriot Ann McGuire and Jean
Osborne, Norma Wang came out
with, "Well, all I can say is the
Big Diaper looks bigger and
brighter in America."

For the second consecutive year
the class of '50 swam, crawled
and dived into first place in the
annual four-class meet Friday
night.

Before delegates to the GAFCW
convention and local Agnes Scat-
ters, the seniors came up with 48
points. The junior class placed
second with 39; the freshmen,
third with 29V 2 ; and the sopho
mores, fourth, with 25Mj.

Betty Van Houten and Sarah
Tucker exhibited very smooth
back-tandem form for the win-
ning class.

The juniors stole the comedy
relay first place and laughs
by a length. A girl from each class
had to push a ball down the pool
with her nose. Then a teammate,
fully clothed, had to disrobe and
swim the length of the pool.
Since a '51 lassie proved to own
the only skilled ball-pushing nose,
her class finished before the other
three contestants could disrobe.

In the first event of the even-
ing, Jenelle Spear overcame a
senior lead to clinch the free-style
relay for the juniors. On her team
were Julie Cuthbertson, Virginia
Arnold, and. Carolyn Galbreath.

Jessie Carpenter, Sarah Tuc-
ker, Anne Williamson, and Karin
Thorbecke swam in second for
the seniors. Placing third were
freshmen Anne Baxter, Jerry
Armstrong, Sarah Hamilton and
Frances Cook. Bet Linton, Bar-
bara Brown, Louise Jett, and Mar-
garetta Lumpkin, in fourth posi-
tion, raced for the sophomores.

Judged for form and not speed,
Sarah Tucker placed the seniors

second while Catherine Reddles
and Anne Potts carried the soph-
omore and freshmen classes, re-
spectively.

Margaretta Lumpkin led the
class of '52 to their first victory
by outswimming Mary Jane New-
land, freshman; Charlotte Key,
junior; and Karin Thsrbecke, sen-
ior: Using the back crawl stroke,
they raced two lengths of the
pool.

The seniors added another win
to their column when Betty Van
Houten displayed the best front
crawl form. Competing were
freshman Frances Cook, sopho-
more Catherine Reddles, and jun-
ior Charlotte Key who placed in
that order.

Virginia Arnold, Nena Hale, and

ed in ahead of freshmen Mary

dles, Lilla Kate Paramore and
Jenelle Spear, all using the front
crawl, ranked as named for the
seniors, sophomores, freshmen,
and juniors, respectively.

Diving for the seniors Betty
Van Houten demonstrated grace
and precision timing to capture
first rating. She executed a run-
ning front, back dive, back jack,
and a back half-twist into the
water.

Blackfriars Seniors to Offer
Prize-Winning 'Hero Worship

"Hero Worship," a one-act play by Frances Hargis, a for-
mer Agnes Scott student, will be presented by senior Black-
friars' members tomorrow at 7:30 p. m. in Rebekah Scott
lobby, Miss Roberta Winter, director, announced recently.
, Miss Hargis wrote this play while attending Agnes Scott
and studying play-writing in a
course offered here. In 1928 "He-
ro Worship" was awarded the
Samuel French prize.

Set in Kingston, Ga., a small
town about 60 miles from Atlanta,
"Hero Worship" involves a rather
poor Southern family whose en-
tire lives have been altered by the
effects of the Civil War on their
delightfully lazy father who claims
to be an "unsung hero."

Cast in the role of Mrs. Robbins
is Emily Pope; the daughter, Sal-
ly Mitchell; Robert Robbins, Bob-
by Powell; and the grandson, Bill
Davis. Powell is from Atlanta
and has appeared in two previous
Agnes Scott productions, "No
Way Out" and "Our Hearts Were
Young and Gay." Davis is a De-
catur High School student.

Miss Winter said this particular
play is being given as an illustra-
tion of the success of Agnes Scott
play-writing classes in the past.
Although this course has not been
offered for a number of years, it
will be added to the curriculum
next quarter.

Vespers to Feature
Christmas Music

A Christmas worship service
will close the Christian association
vesper program for the quarter.

It will include a reading of Hen-
ry VanDyke's "The Other Wise
Man" by LaWahna Rigdon, and
a song, "Jesu Bambino," by An-
drea Dale. Other music will be
recorded sections of the "Hallelu-
ja Chorus" and singing of Christ-
mas, carols by the whole group.

The '53 club will decorate Mur-
phey Candler for the program,
which will be at 6:45 p. m.

Dear Agnes Scotters

I know this is rather an unconventional act on my part, realizing
that most people think that the mail route to the North Pole is a one-
way affair. However, before you all get scattered to all parts of the
country the blessed ones to the land of snow I would like a chance
to chat with you together, on a matter which greatly perplexes me
at the present. You see, I'm afraid I have a guilty conscience, and I
want you to help me solve it.

It seems that no matter how hard you try to do the right thing,
sometimes plans just go wrong. Now take this whole idea of my
visits every year. It's right much effort for me to go south every
Christmas, and as I get older, that old north wind goes a little deeper.
It gets a little harder to get around to all the chimneys, too, but I've
always felt that if I could make people just a little bit happier my
trips would be worth the efforts they took. I've even purposely stuck
to reindeer as a mode of travel rather than switch to that marvelous
gadget you call a "Jeep," just because people seemed to have so much
fun saying "The Night Before Christmas" and singing "Up on the
housetop, click, click, click." And oh! how many stomachaches from
too much cake and coffee! ,

But, as I say, seems that even the best things sometimes go caflooey,
and this seems to be one of them. What I mean is that most people
seem to have lost all real thought of Christmas and what it means, and
it appears to be my fault. When they think of me they think of a
sleigh full of gifts which is all right if they thought of what those
gifts were for instead of what they are they are for making other
people happy. I wish that is what folks would realize and make me
an example to follow in spreading joy rather than in the mere hollow
giving that completely commercializes Christmas.

And that brings me around to the point of this letter, which is to
ask you if you would please help me out by dropping little hints here
and there to people that would let them know what I really am.

Maybe you won't have to say anything at all; maybe just doing a
small something that wasn't expected would be enough. I'm leaving it
up to you, but I'm depending on you, so don't let me down And if
you'll leave me a note on your stocking I'll leaye you anything that
would really and truly make you happy. (And, please, two spoons of
sugar in my coffee.)

Yours for a Happy Christmas to all of you,

Santa Claus

Administration Gives
Book List Deadline Today

The book list for texts to be
used during the winter quarter
are in Miss Jane Bowman's office
in Buttrick hall.

Today is the last day for stu-
dents wishing to purchase a new
book to sign the list since the or-
ders will be sent off this evening.
Students will be responsible for
the purchase of these books, but
will not be asked to pay in ad-
vance.

Students Choose 'Shrew'
Over Caesar's Dead Body

The Public Lecture Association
of Agnes Scott will present Mar-
garet Webster and her company
in "The Taming of the Shrew ,, on
January 24.

The choice of this play over
"Julius Caesar" is the result of
a vote in student meeting.

Charity Goal
Lacks $950

The total amount of money col-
lected for the Combined Charities
drive was approximately $1050.
The goal for the school was $2000.
Included in the charities were the
Community Chest, World Student
Service Fund, and a fund for the
blind children of Europe.

The student body voted to give
to all the charities at one time. In
connection with this and with the
fact that the goal was not reach-
ed, Sally Lou Dickert said, "Next
year I think it would be best to
have a separate drive for each
charity. Most of the girls con-
tributed something, but few could
afford to give as much as they
might have had the drive been
spread out during the year." Sally
Lou, student government treasur-
er, was chairman of the commit-
tee for raising the money.

2 THE AGNES SCOTT NEWS O Wednesday. Nov. 30, 1949

ear Santa Claus

Ever since last Christmas we've been good girls we've beat late
time limit every Saturday night; we've typed up our Bible papers and
done all our outside reading; and we've even returned our own "Coke"
bottles. So, now we want to let you know what we'd like to find under
our trees Christmas morning.

First of all, the dean's office wants a whole stack of sign-out slips,
ready for the winter rush. Everybody else wants some reasons to
use the slips.

The senior class wants colored glasses to shield their eyes from the
glare of the solitaires their lucky classmates bring back from the
Christmas holidays. Sara Jane Campbell, Jessie Hodges, and M. C.
Lindsay also want to be prepared for the return to school with an ex-
tra large box of Kleenex, . to be used by homesick freshmen only. And
THE MOUSE in Boyd wants the crumbs left after all the Christmas;
boxes-of-food-I-brought-back-with-me-from-home parties.

While we're talking about food, the muffin hounds from second Re-
bekah would like a plentiful supply of peanut butter and Ritz crackers;
and calorie counters on the whole campus request much black coffee
at the same old price as last year.

For the special benefit of the English majors, Miss Laney would like
211 students who have heard of another claus (e) besides Santa.

Dot Medlock wants a mechanical kitchen for her apartment and
somebody to remind her to sign her name Dot BOND.

Twig and Quat want an alarm clock guaranteed to wake the dead
(and Twig and Quat.)

Do you reckon, Santa, that you could drop by a little eariy and leave
us all some knowledge, in time for exams anyhow. And maybe while
you're here you could leave some silnshiny weather, so we can fly
home when exams are over. (If you can't manage that, how about
leaving a couple of rain, dear?)

Donnie King Ansley and Barbara Lanier McGee especially request
a campus day nursery, so they'll have somewhere to leave their sons
while they go to classes.

Let's see now, Dianne Morris and Marg Hunt want a plumb beauti-
ful Christmas; Charlotte Key and Dr. Calder want some angels to bend
near the earth to touch their harps of gold; Dr. Posey wants a new sup-
ply of jokes and Mr. Stukes to laugh at them all; the j-birds and buz-
zards want greener pastures; and all Sally Thompson wants for Christ-
mas is her two front teeth.

The News business staff would like more ads and more money; the
editorial staff would like fewer ads and more money. (If you can solve
that you're better than the last ten generations of editors and busi-
ness managers.) And Pi Alpha Phi could use more controversial ques-
tions, and student government could use fewer.

Everybody wants a lot more things, tall, dark, and entertaining men
and trips to Europe and New York, for instance but most of all, we
want the very happiest Christmas possible for everybody everywhere
including you!

Hopefully yours,
Marie

Dr. Gardner led an interesting,
helpful discussion on marriage
Sunday night. He gave many
practical pointers to show how a
person can be sure she is really in
love.

First of all, he advised that peo-
ple must use their heads in mat-
ters of the heart; it is true that
the heart has reasons that the
mind does not know, but one must
be especially intelligent in select-
ing a mate.

Making suggestions in question
form he indicated the ways one
can know when she is in love;
Are you unhappy when you are
separated from him? Are you at-
tracted to the person as a whole
intellectually, culturally, physical-
ly? Dr. Gardner stressed the dan-
ger of marriages based purely on
the physical.

He continued, "Do objects or
things have enhanced value be-
cause of him ? Do you enjoy being
with him under all conditions?
Have you known him long enough
to know his bad traits as well as
his good ones? He feels that two
years' acquaintance is desireable
for a happy marriage.

Dr. Gardner asked; "Are you
sure it will be a true marriage or
just a merger of two families
for social or financial reasons?
Are you intellectually, culturally,
socially, the same? And above all,
"Would you want him to be the
father of your children?"

Other important questions are:
"Do you know you are marrying
into his family and do you have a

common faith in God?" Dr. Gard-
ner added other questions of in-
sight by asking: "Do you want him
as he is without any desire to re-
form him and does he have great
physical appeal for you?"

Dr. Gardner offered an abun-
dance of more, excellent advice.
One of his concluding bits was
this: "Girls, never forget that no
matter if you have to leave a
bridge game 45 minutes early to
do so, always be home waiting
when your husband arrives."

He cautioned the boys who were
there, "Never put your wife in a
position where she must ask you
for money; this is terribly embar-
assing for any woman." To both
boys and girls he urged, "Treat
each other with great honor and
much intelligence always."

Culture Corner

By Harriot Ann

I wish I had a telescope. Just
think, with a telescope you could
see almost everything going on all
over town. (Mr. Roberts did.)
But since it's a whole month until
Santa arrives and since the new
observatory isn't finished yet, let's
just pretend we're lpoking through
a telescope and let's see what we
can see.

This place looks vaguely famil-
iar It's the Agnes Scott library.
And look at the attractive book
display. Why not take a look and
get an idea for a new book to read
after all the Christmas presents
are opened and you're waiting to
come back to school.

With a twist of the wrist, I see
the combined Agnes Scott choirs
under the direction of Mrs. Clarke,
practicing Christmas music for
the annual concert to be given De-
cember 11.

Mariemma, celebrated Spanish
dancer, will be presented in a
dance concert on Wednesday, Dec.
7 in Presser Hall. The program,
sponsored by the Decatur Junior
Service League, will include Span-
ish, classical, folk, and flameno
dances.

I'm not sure how to operate this
gadget, but I believe you elongate
it for long-range vision. Atlanta,
here we come! I've always won-
dered what the Penthouse looks
like inside. There's Signe Hasso
rehearsing her part in "Love from
a Stranger," which is being pre-
sented there now. That poster
near the elevator says Jimmy
Dunn is starring m "The Barkers"
next week. And speaking of dra-
ma, the Atlanta Theater Guild is
presenting "Strange Bed Fellows"
December 7, 8, and 9. That's a
comic satire about politics and
woman suffrage in 1896.

Atlanta's Great White Way
looks like a chalk line through the
telescope. The Tower theater
just jumped up before my eyes.
Tallulah Bankhead is coming in
"Private Lives" on December 15,
16, and 17. When the Agnes Scott
boarding students go to their
homes for the holidays, you day
students can go to the theater, so
as not to miss them so much. I hear
that the Tower theater has booked
"Highbutton Shoes" and "Student
Prince" for January 1950.

While we're in town, let's see
what's happening at the Auditor-
ium. The Robert Shaw Chorale
group is warming up for their con-
cert tonight. Let's all go I hear
they are wonderful. Luboshutz and
Nemenoff, duo-pianists, will pre-
sent a concert at Wesley Memorial
Anditorium, Tuesday, Dec. 6, at
8:30 p. m. The concert is being
sponsored by the Atlanta Music
club.

It's not too far out of the way
home to turn our focus on Emory
and it sounds like a good idea to
me. The Emory Lecture. Associ-
ation is presenting Dr. Paul Wag-
ner, president of Rollins College,
tonight in the Glenn Memorial
Auditorium. He will speak on
"The Crisis in Man's Communica-
tion." It is to be a demonstration
lecture on communication as the
essence of education. Our own
Lecture Association will present
the Margaret Webster players in
t lie play of our choice, "The Tam-
ing of the Shrew," on January M.

With my telescopic eye, I can
see Davison's corner windows.
They look like Christmas fairy-
land, and Uncle Remus is telling a
story of Santa's workshop. Rich's
has a toyland express with Santa
as engineer.

Cotillion Club

At^the last Cotillion club meet-
ing, Marg Hunt was elected chair-
man of the annual formal dance
which will be winter quarter.

Robert Shaw Chorale Group
Will Present Tonight's Concert

By Pat Patterson

The Robert Shaw Chorale and Chamber Music Ensemble
will present its second concert before an Atlanta audience at
8:30 p. m. tonight at the Municipal Auditorium. The young
choral director and his selected group of singers and a small
ensemble of string and wind instrument performers were
acclaimed the sensational concert
attraction of last season.
That is reason enough for the en-
thusiasm which the leading musi-
cians of Atlanta showed by asking
the group to present a return en-
gagement this fall. Another proof
of their outstanding ability was
shown in the record sale of their
Christmas Album in Atlanta's
leading music stores after their
first appearance.

For the second concert before
the Atlanta audience Mr. Shaw
has selected a program varied in
style and mood, brilliant in audi-
ence appeal. They will present
an anthem by Handel; a Bach can-
tata; art songs by Schubert; music
at the turn of the 17th century;
operatic ensembles by Rameau,
Moussorgsky, and Verdi; motets
by Poulenc; French songs by De-
bussy; and climax the program
with the American folk songs by
Gail Kubik.

Chi Beta Phi

There will be a meeting of Chi
Beta Phi tomorrow at 7:30 p. m.

The Alstons To Entertain
At Informal Open House

Dr. and Mrs. Wallace Alston
will entertain at an informal open
house in their home at 225 South
Candler street tomorrow from
4-6 p. m.

Those invited include members
of the Agnes Scott faculty, the
college staff, and the Atlanta
members of the Board of Trus-
tees and their wives.

Plumb Beauties Reveal Secrets
Among Wide Circle of Friends

After a Campus-wide survey the Social Standards commit-
tee wishes to report the Agnes Scotter's conception of good
grooming. According to the fashionable, popular Lydia Lee
Gardner (who has a wide circle of friends) good grooming is
cleanliness. "Men jut love that clean-cut look!"

Stylish, smart (looking and act-

ing) Carol Edwards (who has a
wide circle of friends) considers a
neat, attractive hair-do very im-
portant. And, speaking of hair, we
have heard complaints about
messy hair-grooming during the
week in contrast to the chic hair
styles on Saturday night.

Widening the Circle
"Anybody can be well-groom-
ed," says Page Hutchison, popular
girl (with a wide circle of friends).
"Clothes can be neat even though
they aren't expensive." (Try Rob-
ert Hall Clothing Store on White-
hall street where the overhead is
low.)

Our Agnes Scott beauty Betty
Zeigler (who has a wide circle of
friends) believes flattering colors
and good posture are good groom-

Uncrowded Airways Call
Girls to Radio Workshop

The Air force needs men, but
Emory needs girls. Emory is spon-
soring a radio workshop on the uni-
versity campus to train voices for
radio, and the group needs girls
to work on the project.

Every Wednesday night, the
workshop helps students eliminate
bad speech habits and aims at
preparing the voice for work on
WSB.

If you are interested in taking
advantage of this opportunity in
radio, see Marguerite Jackson,
who is working in the group.

Campus Slips

Overheard: Two frosh were
parting after supper, one to the
dorm and the other to the li-
brary:

Ann Jones: Will you be in a cor-
ral?

Mary Beth: I think so.

Benign senior: 'Scuse me, but I
think the word is carrel.

Mary Beth: Oh, I know. But you
see, Ann is from Texas.

ing. Her pet peeves are chipped
fingernail polish, wearing rouge
and eye shadow in excess, and
chewing gum violently.

In conclusion, the authors (who
have a wide circle of friends) want
to remind you to be well-groomed,
wear Plumb Beautiful lipstick and
nail enamel; and you, too, will
have a wide circle of friends.

D. O. Teas to Rejuvenate
Exam-sperated Students

The Dean's office will sponsor
teas during exam week again this
year in Murphey Candler.

The entire campus is invited,
regardless of whether the students
have an exam scheduled on each
day.

The teas will be held every day
except Saturday and the last
Thursday and will begin at 3:30
p. m.

Flash! Flash! WAVF Reporter
Circles Aggie's Social World

By Harriot Ann

Good afternoon, ladies, this is station WAVF (Aggie's Vanity Fair)
and this is Aggie, your on-the-spot reporter, bringing you a review of
the social events of this Thanksgiving week-end. But, first a flash
trip around the social world of Atlanta the Piedmont Driving club,
the Ansley Hotel ball room, Peachtree Gardens, and the two fraternity
rows ! *

Stand by For Amusement Hit Parade

While you sip your tea, you Emory admirers, listen while I tell you
all the simply drooling details of what the young socialites of Agnes
Scott did for 'amusement this week-end. The Sigma
Nu chapters at Tech, Emory, Mercer, and Georgia
staged a formal dance at the Peachtree Gardens
Saturday night. Seen there were Eliza White, Mar-
garet Glenn, Martha Fortson, and LaWahna Rigdon.
The Piedmont Driving club was the setting for the
Chi Phi formal dinner and dance Friday night.
Adaline Miller, Helen Land, Jinx Sutton, Marion
Merritt, Dottie Allison, EUie McCarty, and Dot
Ring had a good time. '

Remember those cheers we tuned in on the air
during the Tech-Ga. game Saturday afternoon?
Well, Agnes Scotters did their share of them. Some
who went were Patty Phillips, Lil Lasseter, Terrell Warburton, Margie
Major, Adele Lee, Claire Foster, Ann Gebhart, Cathie Davis, Sally
Jackson, Martha Ann Stegar, Anne Windham, Ginny Skinner, Mary
Louise Warlick, Anne Craig, Martha Norton. Ditty Sells, Jane Puckett,
Millie Allison, La Belle David, Frances Ginn, and Anne Thompson were
rooting for the home team. Due to unavoidable delay of the late
news report, this list may not be complete.

Flash! Guests on campus! Lila Walker, Robin Robinson, and Mary
Aich'el were back at home; men to see Betty Asbill, Isabel Truslow, and
Sally Thompson; Barbara Quattlebaum's parents were here; visitor to
see Susan Gauger; Carol Munger's, parents here.

And the Rains Came!

We now bring you a report on the Freshman game Thursday. Al-
though Lyd Gardner, Jane Oliver, Ann Gebhardt, Margaret Hopkins
(Thursday night's Emily Dickinson), Jessie Carpenter, Beryl Crews,
Isabel Truslow, Joann Wood, Dianne Morris, Helen Tucker, Joyce
Hutcheson, and Atalante Anason didn't favor the score, they agreed
that the game was exciting to watch rain and all!

Though I wasn't an eye witness, I interviewed Joann Harris and
Margaret Anne Kaufmann about the TEPhi formal held at the Ans-
ley Hotel. Four chapters were there and they had a marvelous time.
Place SAE house at Tech; Time after the game; Purpose celebra-
of the victory. Those present Martha Norton, Adaline Miller, Cama
Clarkson, Lyd Gardner, Ann Warren, Susan Hancock, Dot Rollins,
Gwen Johnson, Barbara Brown, Claire Foster, Beryl Crews, and
Adele Lee.

Seen around town were Catherine Redles, and Virginia Feddeman at
the Phi Kappa Sigma house Saturday night, Liza Pollard on a possum
hunt, Wednesday's Emily Dickinson at the Naval Officer's club, Cathie
Davis and Ann Gebhardt at the Beta house at Tech, Grace Austin
watching the game via television at the Sigma Nu house at Emory,
Joann Peterson and Sister Sue at Ramond's after the game, Ann Wil-
liamson dancing at the Biltmore hotel.

Leave the Dishes in the Sink, Ma!

Turkey oozed from the ears of Agnes Scotters this week-end. Many
chose to go home to enjoy the Thanksgiving holiday Ann Baxter,
Sylvia Moutos, Katie Burdanis, Elaine Blaine, Sylvia Williams, Patty
Overton, Mary Alice McDonald, Ellie McCarty, Stellise Robey, Ann
Jones, Marie McClelland, Pat Buie, Joanne Christopher, Frankie How-
erton, Charlotte Evans, who shared her turkey with Barbara Lawson,
Genie Paschal, and Janet Sowell. Helen Edwards took Norah Anne
Little, Sarah Jane Campbell, Ann Williamson, Sarah Tucker, Ruth
Vineyard, Dot Medlock, and Jessie Hodges home with her.

The holidays were made even more memorable this year by romance.
June Davis was married and Rose Ellen Gillam got her engagement
ring.

This is Aggie, bidding you good bye for WAVF. Tune in next Jan-
uary, 1950, won't you? (There are only 21 more shopping days till
Christmas.)

A.A. to Award 15 Letters In Thursday Chapel; Miss Milam to Speak

By Marguerite Jackson

Athletic association will make its first awards under the
new point system Thursday, Dec. 1, in chapel.

Fifteen girls who have earned a minimum of 800 points for
athletic participation will receive purple AS letters. (To in-
spire more interest in sporting events on campus, A. A. has
lowered the points to 800 from
1200 for pins and 1600 for guards.)

Miss Molly Milam, assistant to
the dean, will discuss "the place of
play and an athletic association
on the college campus."

Have you noticed those "sharp"
Agnes Scott sweaters people are
wearing on campus? Athletic as-
sociation is selling them for $3.75.
Esther Adler will take your order
for delivery after Christmas. In
case you haven't noticed, the
sweaters are white cotton cardi-
gons with purple stitching on the
lapels and pockets.

A. S. Attains Million Dollar Goal
On Last Day of 1949 Campaign

Following a precedent set in seven victorious campaigns,
the eighth campaign for a greater Agnes Scott closed on the
last day of 1949 with achievement of the million dollar goal.
The goal was set by the offer of an anonymous gift of $500,-
000 if the school could raise double that amount before Jan-
uary 1, 1950, with one half for en-
dowment and one half for building.

The campaign on the campus
began in October of 1948, with a
football luncheon which was fol-
lowed by a fund raising drive.
All members of the campus com-
munity doubled the original $20,-
00g goal set for the campus, by
subscribing more than $40,000.

The work continued, with solici-
tations among trustees and other
friends of the college, and resulted
in collection of approximately
$500,000.

Outstanding gifts included the
endowment of a $100,000 speech
chair by Mrs. John B. Water-
man of Mobile; a gift ( of $400,000
by friends of Mrs. Letitia Pate
Evans for the dining hall named in
honor of her; the presentation of
$125,000 for building the new ob-
servatory and $50,000 endowment
for the observatory by the Brad-

Congratulations are in order!!

Just think how envious the shade of Epicurus must be of us
Hottentots this year. His feasting was nothing compared to
ours. A new motive has been added for making the periodical
excursions to the dining room. Not only do we go to be able
to maintain ourselves during 12-1 classes or to have long con-
fabs, but to enjoy the food. And it looks as good as it tastes
a combination that is hard to beat. Here is "hate off" from
the college community to Mrs. Hatfield, Mrs. Hooper and all
the others who have been responsible for some delicious
meals. C. K.

Job Conferences to Consolidate
Biscuits, Babies with Business

Bella Wilson Weds Clay Lewis
In Christmas Rites at Davidson

By Helen Edwards

The great day has arrived. Now
you can have your cake and eat it
too. In fact, you'll have plenty of
time to bake it, if you want to.

Every year the Alumnae Asso-
ciation, in planning the Vocation-
al Guidance conferences, takes
student opinions, faculty sugges-
tions and the results of previous
conferences to determine exactly
what the Agnes Scott girls are
interested in along vocational lines.
This year as soon as they recover-
ed from the splendrous sparkle
displayed from both fingers and
eyes of the engaged, Miss Hutch-
ins and Miss Virginia Wood, chair-
man of the Vocational Guidance
committee of the Alumnae Asso-
cation, realized that there was no
doubt as to the interest of many
of the girls and began planning a
program that would solve the
problems facing those girls who
would like to have a career, but
are planning to get married soon.
The result is that on Wednesday
night, January 18, at the Alumnae
House, a panel on part-time work
will begin. There will be a dis-
cussion of professional writing as
a career to be sandwiched in be-
tween baking bisouits and mend-
ing socks. There will also be pro-
fessionals on hand to give the
facts about part-time work in ra-
dio and television, libraries, busi-
ness and accountng, and modeling
and fashion work.

Career Comes First
Then, for those who are think-

ing only of a career at present,
the Alumnae Association has
chosen the field of Social Wel-
fare service as the field for discus-
sion this year. In doing this they
have varied from the usual plan
of having a speaker to cover each
field that would interest the girls,
and are looking toward a four-
year plan so that graduates would
have a better integrated idea of
all the job opportunities facing
them.

Heir's How

For all job aspirants engaged,
married, or otherwise Personnel
workers will be on hand Tuesday
night to see that you know exact-
ly how to go about getting a job.
They will give you an employer's-
eye view of the job-hunter in dis-
cussions of such things as recom
mendations, interviews, letters of
application, and all the generally
little-known intricacies of looking
for a suitable job. The night dis-
cussion will be a continuation of
the key-note address of the con-
ference given in chapel that morn-
ing by Miss Mary Ralston, person-
nel director of the First National
Bank in Milwaukee.

So you see, there is a way to
have your cake and eat it, too.
If you prefer to spend the day at
the office and pick it up at the
bakery on the way home, you can;
or you can bake your own. The
nice thing is that Alumnae Associ-
ation is going to help you select a
recipe.

Slings and Arrows

By Helen Edwards

The thing about a story is that
you never know whether it's old
or new.

And then lots of times it's just
a variation of an old theme. Like
the one about the horse that told
a visitor to the farm one day that
he had won the Kertucky Derby-
four times. The visitor, who hap-
pened to be a follies producer, was
really excited about a talking
horse and offered the 'owner $10,-
000 for him but the owner would
not sell. When the producer
pressed the issue, the farmer fin-
ally said, "You don't really want
that old horse. He tells every-
body he's won the Kentucky Der-
by four times and he ain't never
even seen the state of Kentucky."
Yep, that's the end of that story.

But the best one I've heard in
a long time is the one about the
family of gnus that always ate
gnats. (To get the proper inton-
ation of the tale you have to pro-
nounce those g'nu and g'nat, and
other gn-woeds likewise.) Any-
way ,it seems that Mother g'nu
always kept a jar of g'nats in the
refrigerator so that Baby g'nu
could have something nourishing
to g'naw on when he came home
from school. However, it seemed
that the supply of g'nats would
get lower and lower every day, so
Mother g'nu watched the refriger-
ator carefully, thinking that may-
be some g'nome was stealing the
g'nats.

She saw no culprit that after-
noon, however, until Baby g'nu
came home from school and g'nab-
bled on g'nats until he had eaten
the whole jarful. She grabbed
him and since she had a g'nib
tongue, she g'narred at him and
g'nashed her teeth and called him
a g'naf. ( "Just wait until your
father comes home, young g'nu,"
she yelled. "He'll spank you good!"

But Baby g'nu, knowing he
would fair better from the fem-
inine touch, said blithely, "No,
Mamma, you'll have to do it. You
know he's always telling you that
you'll have to learn to paddle
your own g'nu."

But as I said, you never can tell
whether a story is old or g'nu.

A. S. News Editor
Marries R. E. Bond
In Maclean Chapel

From Medlock to Bond was the
change made Dec. 17 when Dot
Medlock, editor of the Agnes Scott
News, married Robert E. Bond of
Atlanta. The ceremony was at
4:30 p. m. in Maclean chapel.

Charlsie Smith Harris, '49, fur-
nished the organ music, and
Charlotte Key played the harp
before and during the ceremony.

Mrs. Bond's wedding dress was
ivory satin with a sweetheart
neckline trimmed in rosepoint
tace, long pointed sleeves and a
peplum on the full skirt which
extended into the train. Covered
buttons extended to the waist in
the back of the dress. Her veil of
rosepoint lace fell from a match-
ing tiara.

The bride's sister, Betty Med-
lock, a '42 graduate was her on-
ly attendant. She wore a high-
necked, green velvet dress with
three-quarter length sleeves and
covered buttons. Her bouquet
was red poinsettias on a white
fur muff.

Mr. and Mrs. Bond went to
Birmingham on their honeymoon,
and now have an apartment in
Decatur.

Bella Wilson, assistant dean of
students, became Mrs. Clay Lewis
in a ceremony Dec. 21 at the"
Presbyterian church in Davidson,
North Carolina. The bride wore
a champagne taffeta afternoon
dress with wide, turned-back la-
pels and cuffs 1 of brown velvet,
brown gloves, brown suede shoes,
and a matching champagne hat
with a heavy brown cord. The
bridal bouquet was talisman
roses with brown satin ribbon.
, The only attendant to the bride
was Mrs. Allen Wilson, her sister-
in-law. Mrs. Wilson's dress, simi-
lar to the bride's was aqua cord-
ed taffeta. Her hat was a match-
ing felt with short puffed feath-
ers on one side. The bouquet was
of deep pink roses. Mrs. Lewis's
brother, Allen Wilson, gave her
away. The brother of the groom

served as his best man. James
Christian Pfohl, instructor of mu-
sic at Davidson College and
Queens College, played the or-
gan music.

The church was decorated with
the traditional green and white
motif with tall white candelabra.
The reception was immediately
following the ceremony at the
home of the bride. Among the
Agnes Scott alumnae, students,
and faculty who were present
were Mrs. Rebekah M. Clarke,
who assisted in serving, Miss Win-
ter, Miss Scandrett, Miss Crig-
ler, Miss Barineau, Margaret In-

man, Sue McSpadden, and Edith
Stowe.

.Mr. Lewis is an instructor at
Georgia Tech, and the couple are
living in Atlanta.

Murphey Candler Doors Open
For Canasta, Local Talent

By Harriot Ann

"Let's drop by Murphey Candler for awhile and play some
Canasta" . . . "Want to dance this evening? Well, they have
records over in Murphey Candler and several of your frat-
ernity brothers are coming." . . . "Come on, there's a party in
Murphey Candler, and we can pop some corn in the open fire."

spread with plates of sandwiches,
potato chips, and cookies. Ruth
Vineyard and Mary Louise War-
lick made and poured the coffee.

A program of "local talent" was
the highlight of the evening with
Charlotte Bartlett as the mistress
of ceremonies. The program got
underway with Todd McCain and
Pat Overton's specialty of their
soft shoe dance complete with
Hobo costumes. LaWanah Rig-
don, accompanied by Jinny Brew-
er, offered a musical reading call-
ed %,< The Usual Way," and the
quartet from the Seminary har-
monized on several spirituals.

Charlotte's pet "Greenby" cli-
maxed the program by turning
summersaults, flip-flops and play-
ing a clever card trick.

These snatches of conversation
caught my attention in Main last
Saturday night about 8 o'clock, so
my date and I headed for the back
campus, too.

Mortar Board and Social Stan-
dards gave a party for Agnes
Scott girls and their dates Satur-
day night in ^Murphey Candler.
The rooms were attractively dec-
orated and there was an air of in-
formality and gayity which was
inviting.

The girls decorated the tables
and mantles with pine boughs,
holly and cherry laurel. On the
wall, crepe paper was shaped to
spell Happy New Year. Candles
and an open fire created a glow-
in the room.

The dining room tables were

Rings n Resolutions Highlight
Aggie s Newest New Year

By HARRIOT ANN

"Ring out wild bells! Ring out the old ring in the new " And our
Agnes Scott belles did ring in the new year. They chose rings of gold
and platinum with beautiful, sparkling diamonds. With such an en-
trance, I predict the year 1950 will be a happy one for us all!

There's something about the sparkle in the eyes of engaged girls
that tells of their happiness even before the sun can catch the glisten
of their left-hand diamonds. Have you noticed it, too? The Christ-
mas holidays were exceedingly joyous ones for Marcy O'Farrell, Pat
Williams, Anne Irwin, Genie Paschal, Harriet Murray, Phylis Fisher,
Norma Waldrep, Jerry Armstrong, Ellen Hull, Jean Kline, Emily Anne
Reid, Sally Lou Dickert, Molly Milam, Stellise Robey, Emily Pope,
and Norah Anne Little. A popular saying should be revised in this way
"She's lovely, she's engaged, she goes to Agnes Scott!"

Wedding bellS chimed happiness for several of our group over the
holidays, too. Jeanne Smith, Jane Durham Cook, Dot Medlock, Rosel-
len Gillam, and Bella Wilson were married.

Pin-ups for the New Year

Much excitement has been created by the great number of fraternity
pins being sported on campus so early in 1950. Carol Jacobs, Corrie
Blansit, Jackie Sue Messer (Tech Delta Tau Delta), Ellie McCarty,
Emy Evans, (Emory Phi Delts), Betty Jane Sharpe (Sigma Nu), Jane
Hill (Sigma Chi), and the Tech SAE's have tagged Pat Patterson, Jane
Puckett, and Ditty Sells. Chris Allen is flying high with her Navy
Air Wings.

The rest of us may have been slightly reluctant to leave our homes
and return to the activities waiting for us; however, it didn't take
long to get back into Atlanta's social whirl. By now, I'm sure the
Christinas vacations have been pushed to trie backs of our minds to
make room for the many social engagements planned for our pleasure.
Tech and Emory have no small part in these plans.

The Naval Air Station's Officers' Club was a popular place this
week-end. I saw Barbara Brown, Anne Haden, Jean Osborn, and
Helen Edwards there. Three Tech SAE's were celebrating their good
fortune of being pinned to Jane Puckett, Ditty Sells, and Pat Cortelyou,
and they all enjoyed a dinner party. Lyd Gardner and Jane Oliver
were at a house dance at the Psi Omega fraternity at Emory. Mary
Stubbs went to the Lambda Chi house Saturday night. Waldo cele-
brated Joann Peterson's return to Atlanta by taking her to the Plan-
tation House for dinner. ,

Red Row Everybody's Rushin'!

Fraternities at Emory have started rushing again and Agnes Scott
girls have attended several parties on the Row. The Phi Delts had a
house dance which opened the season in a gala fashion, according to
Emy Evans, Anne Cope, Sylvia Williams, Nancy DeArmond, Betty
McLellan, Louise Ross, Georgianna Buchanan, Joan White, Jean Rob-
erts, Betty Averill, Louise Hertwig and Joann W 7 ood. The Sigma Chi's
at Emory attracted many rushees and Agnes Scott belles, too. Joan
White, Shirley Ford, Margaret Walker, Joann Peterson, Jean Kline,
and Isabel Truslow, were Saturday night sweethearts.

Tech's rushing is a year-round event. Norah Anne Little and Beryl
Crews were at the SAE house Saturday night, and Sunday night
Susan Hancock, Pat Cortelyou, Jane Puckett, Ditty Sells, and Dot
Ring enjoyed a buffet supper. Lil Lasseter and Mary Alice McDonald
went to Augusta to visit med students for the week-end. Ann Jones
was hostess to friends from Dalton.

Resolved: Be Not Sidetracked in Thy Resolutions

To assist the realization of my prediction for a happy 1950, several
girls have vowed New Year's resolutions:

Annelle Simpson: I resolve not to spend more than ten hours a day
in the library.

Jessie Carpenter: I resolve to keep my suitcase packed, so that I
can catch the first train for a week-end avith Van.

Sarah Samonds: I resolve not to get more than one new cashmere
a week.

Adeline Miller: I resolve not to waste my Christmas Chanel No. 5

at the Inman perfume fights.
Chris Allen: I resolve to fly on "wings" of happiness all year.
Betty Finney: I resolve not to be so shell-bound by my turtles.
Dot Medlock Bond: I resolve to learn to fix supper in less than five

hours.

Dot Davis: I resolve not to go to so many movies in Decatur in the
middle of the week.

Pat Gleaton: I resolve to call De. 1665 only when I want a cheese-
burger or shampoo.

Marijean Alexander: I resolve not to be my own model of "Aggie's
Antics."

Jenelle Spear: I resolve to discard the "hole" idea of making speeches
this year.

Cissie Spiro: I resolve to further relationship between Emory and

Agnes Scott especially on week-ends.
Marie Woods: I resolve not to let my hair gejt as long as Helen Edwards'.
Bet Linton: My resolution has already "Ben" made!
Harriot Ann: I resolve to try to keep up with the endless activities

of you busy, busy gals.

A. A. Awards 16 Sports Letters
To Junior, Senior Participants

Sixteen members of the junior and senior classes are the
first to wear the new Athletic association awards.

In recognition of their interest and participation, A. A. has
presented purple letters to seniors Jane Sharkey Cobb, Cathie
Davis, Charlotte Evans, Marguerite Jackson, Barbara Lawson,
Paschal, Isa-

Greta Moll, Genie
bel Truslow, Betty Van Houten,
Mary Louise Warlick and Ann
Williamson; and to Juniors Char-
ity Bennett, Julie Cuthbertson,
Jimmie Ann McGee, Wilton Rice
and Jenelle Spear.

Each of these girls has earned
at least 800 points which is the
new minimum for athletic awards.
Participation in team and individ-
ual sports and in athletic clubs
and tournaments counts toward
a letter.

Jenelle Spear Captures
Campus Tennis Crown

Jennelle Spear is the present
tennis champion on campus. She
defeated Greta Moll in the finals
of the singles' tournament in De-
cember.

A group of husbands of alumnae
collected $65,000, and the alumnae
themselves collected nearly $35,-

Although the goal for building
was passed, the endowment fund
was still $25,000 short of the stipu-
lation in December of 1949. Two
last minute gifts of $10,000 each
and various small gifts which ar-
rived on the last day added enough
for the victory.

Winter Sportlight Spots
Pool, Basketball Birdies

* By Marguerite Jackson

A new quarter at Agnes Scott always means a new program
in athletics sponsored by A. A. and the physical education
department. Now during the winter the sportlight's on in-
door sports badminton, basketball and swimming.

In addition to regular classes in each of these sports, Miss
Wilburn and the club managers

have set aside a "play time" for
all Agnes Scott to enjoy.

Tonight from 7:30 to 9:00 the
badminton club under the direc-
tion of Ester Adler will hold open
house in the gymnasium. All of
you who like to play or watch are
urged to come down and bring
your friends. And if you have a
racket of your own, be sure to
bring it along.

For the rest of the quarter the
nets will be up on Tuesdays from
3:30 to 5:00 p. m., and on Wednes-
days from 7:30 to 9:00 for you to
hit the birdie. Your friends are
invited at these times, too.

Basketball, which is the major
sport of this season, will make
its debut Friday night at 7:30.
Helen Jean Robarts, manager, is
in charge.

Although members of the four
class teams won't know who they
will play until game time, the
seniors and their opponents will
play first. While they rest at
halftime, the other two teams will
take over the court.

Since attendance at these games
counts toward the class spirit cup,
your class wants you there even if

Webster Troupe to Tame Shrew
In Presentation Tuesday Night

By Ellen Hull

Agnes Scott students are awaiting the presentation of
Shakespeare's lively comedy, "The Taming of The Shrew,"
next Tuesday, Jan. 24. Presented by the Margaret Webster
Shakespeare Company in their second consecutive 30,000
mile trek across the campuses of America, the play has been
heralded by audiences everywhere

will be selected the night of Jan-
uary 28, during the festivities in
"A Wee Bit of Scotland," other-
wise known as the Agnes Scott
gymnasium.

In charge of the clan skits for
the "thrifty" night are senior Jane
Sharkey Cobb, sophomore Sally
Veale, and freshman Carol Jacob.

Blackfriars Accept Four
As Result of Skit Tryouts

As the result of tryouts last
week, Blackfriars announces four
new members. Those who success-
fully presented a short skit before
Blackfriars board members are
Carol Solomon, Sylvia Williams,
Theresa Dokos, and June Carpen-
ter.

as a Shakespeare production in
the best modern tradition.

The subject matter and the
stcry of "The Taming of the
Shrew" are specified very simply
in its title. Miss Webster states
that the essentials of the plot
were used countless times before
Shakespeare and myriads of times
since, the most recent example
being the Broadway production
of the Spewack-Cole Porter music-
al, "Kiss Me, Kate." This year's
production will retain a little
more of the earlier "Sly" scenes
than Shakespeare did, including
a tiny epilogue which originally
formed what we today should call
a "Pay-off" for Christopher.

Louisa Horton, who is to play
the role of Katherina, won acting
honors as the star of the Broad-
way hit, "The Voice of the Turtle,"
and in her recent performance in
the screen image of the prizewin-
ning drama, "All My Sons." Ken-
dall Clark, Petruchio in "The
Taming of the Shrew," is a vet-
eran of numerous Broadway pro-
ductions, playing opposite such

For Experiment Working Towards Peace

As a result of an $800 gift to the college by a grand-son of
the original Agnes Scott, one or possibly two upperclassmen
will go abroad this summer as part of the ''Experiment in
International Living."

The experiment, with its headquarters at Putney, Vt, is a

Criendship and peace by having
American students live as par:.s
of individual families in foreign
countries for part of a summer.
Homes are open in Belgium, Can-

Czechoslovakia, Columbia, Mexico,

Austria, Spain, Germany, Den-
mark, Eire, Holland, India, Nor-
way, Scotland, Sweden, and the
Union of South Africa.

The donor is especially interest-
ed in the plan as his own children

role of Tranio will be portrayed
by David Lewis, another fam-

sonal success in last season's pro-

Cat Tales ! !

There's a little unfinished business left over from last quar-
ter. It's a matter of a black cat left sitting on the fence.

Some say he must go; some say he must stay. But every-
one wants suggestions as to what must be done. May we
suggest?

The theory of Black Cat stunt night is deep in the hearts
of every Agnes Scotter, and the principle is good. But Black
Cat night in its present form has reached its heights. With
every year the skits have become more elaborate, and now
are almost equal to a Broadway production. They can't get
much better therefore they will have to get worse, and the
poor kitty will die a horrible lingering death.

For these reasons, why couldn't next year introduce a Black
Cat built on a new theme, but still embodying all its old prin-
ciples? By way of suggestion the contest might be built
around Mardi Gras and feature floats ^presented by the four
classes and by sister classes. There might be a community
sing presented, still in the holiday spirit, with judging
on originality and talent.

We think this theme has what it takes. The class rivalry
is still there, though not to as great an extent as in our present
theme. Working together on floats and learning songs will
still promote class friendships. But the idea will be new. In
other words the black cat will be born again. D. M. B.

Biting the Hands That Feed Us

We appreciate the consistent efforts of the ad staff and we
are active supporters of local businesses, but when advertise-
ments monopolize the newspaper and limit campus expres-
sion, we feel that we have just cause to protest and to seek ad-
ditional appropriations from the student budget.

Ads are not objectionable if they are kept in their place; if
they maintain a balanced proportion with the news coverage.
In order to publish a four page paper on the funds now pro-
vided, it is necessary to produce an ad sheet interpolated with
carefully selected news articles (others having been elimin-
ated because of lack of space). In order to present a complete
coverage of campus news, available funds must be increased.

We do not feel that this is an unreasonable request for we
know that a better paper, which would inevitably result from
an expanded budget, would be a great asset to "Greater

Dear Pete,

Hope you had as niceaChristmas
as I did. One of the high lights
for me was the reading of Paul
Wellmans latest novel, "The
Chain." It is the story of John
Carlisle's struggles as minister of
the fashionable Episcopal Church
of Jericho, Kansas. Although most
of the congregation were the so-
cial elite of the city, the church
was located in the heart of the
slum area and the homes of the
laborers at the meat packing com-
pany.

Carlisle's two main battles were
the discouraging of the rich ves-
try from moving the location of
the church to the nicer section of
town, and the winning of the con-
fidence of the laborers as a min-
ister of God and not as the priest
of Todd Westcott, the owner of
Jericho's packing industry.

The book should be particular-
ly meaningful to us since it is set
in contemporary times and the
characters face the same temp-
tations of our own day. The ef-
fect that Carlisle had on the lives
of those who came in contact with
him as one of the powerful ele-
ments that make up this novel.

I do hope this is a must on your
list of do's in 1950.
Sincerely,
Charlotte

Slings and Arrows

There used to be some rule
around here about married stu-
dents having to stay home where
they belonged. But since the war
and simultaneous with the intro-
duction of the electric dishwasher,
those days are long gone. A hus-
band just doesn take up as much
time now.

In the old days the wife got up
at dawn, fed her hungry spouse,
kissed him fondly good-bye as he
went on his daily sojourn into the
world and went back to bed un-
til noon. Afternoons were quite
busy, though, what with market-
ing, pastry making, and extensive
cleaning. But everything was in
readiness by the time the five
o'clock whistle blew, and when
"hubby" came home, he found
dear "Oofums" waiting placidly,
and a steaming supper on the
table.

There's not too big a difference
now. Our school bride still gets
up at dawn, feeds her hungry
spouse, kisses him good-bye but
stays up and catches the first bus
to school. Her afternoons are
quite busy, too, with that Wed-
nesday lab, and the psych test to
study for. Then there's the quick
trip to the launderette to make;
home by quarter of five, a quick
twist to the slide-a-bed sofa, some
mighty blows with the can opener,
and when five o'clock and hubby
roll around, she, too, is placidly
waiting with a steaming supper
on the table.

This one always comes up. Can
a girl give enough of her time to
her studies when her mind is on
"Better Homes and Husbands"?
She can if her man is studying
too (as is usually the case), or if
he holds the whip over her until
she knows it all; or perhaps if he
gets eager and studies her assign-
ments, too. (This way you might
even educate the brute!) What-
ever the method is, three of the
nine seniors reading for honors
at Agnes Scott are married.

There's no big difference be-
tween our collegiate housewives
and our typical college girl you
can't even tell them apart except
by their rings. They're really all
out for the same thing.

Shadows Follow Our Aggies
From Sky Roof to Frat House

By HARRIOT ANN

'T have a little shadow that goes in and out with me,
And what can be the use of him is more than I can see."
Robert Louis Stevenson just didn't know about Vanity Fair, because
I have found that these little fellows are quite useful to me. They
keep close tab on you all, and keep me posted as to your activities
(don't worry, they cast their votes on your side!) The Agnes Scott
shadows feed upon vitamin pills to keep up the pace you run (if they
didn't, 'they'd be mere shadows of their former selves). Contrary to
common belief, these shadows don't retire with the
sun, but are your unseen tag-alongs. After all -
they like to go to parties, too!

The Sky Roof was gayly decorated for the Chi
Phi-Phi Delt formal Saturday night, and all of 'the
shadows were dressed in technicolor. Ellie Mc-
carty's shadow sparkled in white and gold, Joann
Wood's chose blue, Louise Hertwig's shadow was in
red taffeta, and Mary Hayes Barber's looked lovely
in lavender net. Nancy deArmond was shadow-
dancing in dark red velvet, June Smith's shadow
wore striped taffeta, and aqua net was the color of Grace Austin's.
Others who enjoyed the dance were Betty McClellen, Louise Ross,
Donna Dugger, Helen Edwards, Cama Clarkson, Mary Lindsey, Jane
Oliver, Carol Cox, Nell Floyd, Sylvia Williams, Anne Cope, Emy Evans,
Barbara Stainton, Jinx Sutton, Charlotte Bartlett, Barbara Lawson,
Joanne Piastre, and Susan Gauger.

Being the shadows of Agnes Scott girls is educational, according to
authentic report. Friday night the Danish Dancers were at Tech and
the silhouettes of Terrell Warburton, Margaret Hopkins, Margie Ma-
jor, Jackie Sue Messer, Jane Newland, and Ann Tiffin Hayes had dif-
ficulty understanding the Danish shadow-talk.

Friday 13th Silhouettes Haunt Fraternity Houses

On Friday night, the 13th, some obscure twins of our colleagues
were seen peering from turned up umbrellas, and hiding behind black
ca'ts at fraternity houses at Emory and Tech. At the SAE house at
Emory were Jane Crayton, Carlene Nickel, Deche Armstrong, Betty
Ann Green, Joan Riley, and Marjorie Orr (my shadow was cast
aside on a stepladder.) The Tech SAE's entertained Mif Martin, Jane
Puckett, Margaretta Lumpkin, and Pat Cartelyou at a rush party.
Saturday night, the Tech Sigma Chi's were hosts to the shadows of
Vivian Weaver, Jane Hill, Betty Wilson, Sara Samonds, Catherine
C roue, Betty Williams, Margaret Hopkins, and Sally Jackson. The
ATO house at Emory welcomed the shadows of Libby Shontz, Lyd
Gardner, Anne Kincaid, Jane Hambrick, Sue Ann Bowers, Jane Wil-
liams, Dot Rollins, Ann Goolsby, Dot Duckworth, and Ann Miller. The
Tab-U-Lators of Mif Martin, Adelaide Ryall, Cassie Simmons, Lola
Purcell, and Pat Patterson reported to me that the Phi Del'ts at Tech
gave a grand party Saturday night and they should know.

These shadowy chaperones do get hungry, you know (or did you?)
They persuaded the dates of Louise Ross and Betty McClellan to take
them to the Empire Room Saturday night. Isabel Truslow's and Ann
Gebhardt's shadows cast their vote for Mammy's Shanty, Saturday.

The Graduate students at Tech gave a dance Saturday night in the
gym. Page Hutchison, Helen Chiu, Norma Wang, Sarah Jane Camp-
bell, Cama Clarkson, Sarah Tucker, Ann Pitts Charlotte Key, Nina
Hale, Helen Edwards, Alline Marshall, Eliza White, Betty Wilson, and
Betty Holland had to come on a little early, because their shadows
had 'to be up at the crack of dawn.

Rings and Pins Appear Shadows Disappear

Some shadowy buddies of mine didn't get much sleep over the week-
end, because % their companions got pinned and engaged. For the details,
see the shadows of Todd McCain, Betty Bowman, Martha Stowell,
Jerre Keef, Gregor Michell, Virginia Arnold, Betty Averill, Jackie
Simmons, and Emy Evans. Todd's engagement was announced with
much gaiety at the Seminary last week. For predictions of the future,
consult these shadows, also, for "the coming events cast their shadows
before" so they say! Ann Roark's shadow hasn't come down to earth
since she received a telephone call from someone interesting in
Franklin, Ky.

Several of these mysterious tag-alongs were packed off in suitcases
for week-end jaunts: Betty McLean went to* the mid-winter dances at
N. G. C; LaWanah Rigdon went home; Lola Purcell and Pat Patter-
son went to Gainesville; Grace Austin went to Athens; Jessie Carpen-
ter, giving up to her New Year's resolution, went to see Van; Amy
Jones, Frances Ginn, and Ann Griggs all went home. Guests on cam-
pus to see Barbara Stainton.

Frosh Down Seniors 14-9;
Juniors Defeat Sophs 16-12

By Charlotte Key

The sister classes defeated their opponents in the first
basketball game of the year, Friday night, as the freshmen
scored 14 points to the seniors' nine, and the juniors were
victorious over the sophs, 16-12. Carol Jacob, frosh, and
junior Betty Esco, starred as high scorers on the winning
teams. Carol made eight of the
freshman points, while Betty con-
tributed nine to the junior score.
Victory-Bound Frosh

In the first game, the freshmen
presented a team that promises to
afford tough sleddingforopponents
this year. The seniors, lacking sub-
stitutes and several of last year's
top players, were a bit rusty, es-
pecially in shooting. The junior
forwards showed the effect of a
summer without pracitce at shoot-
ing too; as did to a lesser extent,
the sophomores.

Neither game was as rough
as was expected with the use of
the experimental rule allowing
players to take the ball away
from an opponent or tie the ball
by putting her hands on it. Al-
though the players were still a
little hesitant about using the rule
and not at all expert in the proc-
ess of doing so, it seemed to con-
tribute toward making a faster
game.

'53 Winners

Players for the freshmen were
forwards Carol Jacob, Laurie
Wannamaker (captain), and Mary
Virginia Youngblood. Guards were
Adaline Miller, Margaret Evans,
and Margie Thomason; and sub-
stitutes, Norma Waldrep, Ann

Potts, and Sarah Hamilton.

On the sophomore team were
Helen Jean Robarts, Lillian Beall,
and Winnie Strozier, and guards
Jeannine Byrd, Catherine Redles,
and Mattie Hart.

Play-Full Juniors

Junior forwards were Betty Es-
co, Barbara Quattlebaum, and Bet-
ty Ziegler. 'tying with them
were guards <. ...elle Spear, Char-
lotte Key, and Virginia Arnold.
Substitutes were Barbara Futral
and Barbara Caldwell.

Seniors playing were Mary Lou-
ise Warlick, Genie Paschal, and
Dot Davs, forwards, Betty Van
Houten, Barbie Lawson, and
Charlotte Evans, guards, and Ann
Griggs and Alline Marshall, sub-
titutes.

BUBBLE DANCERS at the Cotillion Formal Saturday
night swing out and shag to the music of Joe Dance and
his orchestra.

Rainbow Bubbles Accompany
Dancing Cotillion Ball Guests

By Calico

"I'm forever blowing bubbles" (or balloons, maybe) must
have been the theme song of Cotillion club members as they
decorated the gymnasium for the dance Saturday night and
as they planned for the bubbles to float from the balcony. It
was like a cut-up rainbow.

And speaking of rainbows, al-
most every color was there in
orchids, on wrist, in hair, on
shoulder or waist but gardenias,
carnations, and camellias would
not be outdone. And dresses, too
-red, green, pink, beige, just take
your choice. \

Jean Osborn, Cotillion pres-
ident, Miss Carrie Scandrett, dean
of students, and Dr. James R. Mc-
Cain, president, felt almost "cos-
mopolitan" after they had wel-
comed all the out-of-town guests.
Besides a goodly number of rep-
resentatives from Emory, Georgia
Tech, and Columbia Theological
Seminary, Sumter, South Caro-
lina, came to Kathryn Gentry
and Gwen Johnson; and Florence
Worthy and Sue Peterson enter-
tained Emory-at-Oxford. Augusta,

Fast Trip to France

A quick "six months in France"

ing of the French club tomorrow
at 4 p. m. in the studio of Mrs.
Rebekah M. Clarke, instructor in
music. Margaret Evans will tell,
in French, of her stay in France
last year.

Also on the program will be
solos by Betty Asbill, Charity Ben-
nett, and Mary Jane Leake. Betty
will sing an 18th century pastoral
song, "Maman, Dites-Moi." Char-
ity's will be "Connais-Tu le Pays,"
by Thomas, and Mary Jane has
chosen "Obeissons Quand Leur
Voix" by Massenet. All three
girls will be accompanied by Mrs.
Clarke at the piano.

After the formal part of the pro-
gram, Mrs. Clarke will lead the
group in learning French folk
songs.

chosen at the end of last quarter,
are Mary Jane Leake, Margaret
Evans, Adele Lee, and Marjorie

'H. M. S. Pinafore' Will Anchor
On Gaines' Stage, February 10

By Charlotte Key

On the quarter-deck of the "H. M. S. Pinafore," members
of the Agnes Scott and Georgia Tech glee clubs will sing their
way through rejected suitors and elopement plans to a happy
ending, February 10, at 8:30 p. m., in Gaines auditorium. The
performance at Georgia Tech of the Gilbert and Sullivan
work which has been produced

more times than all other operas,
will be the following night. The
cast of the leading roles will be
slightly different for the two
nights.

Those who are working on the
leading women's role of Josephine,
the Captain's daughter, are Emily
Ann Reid, ^Torah Ann Little, and
Jean Osborne. Charity Bennett,
Ann Pitts, and Betty Asbill are
practicing the part of Hebe, the
Admiral's cousin. The well-known
Buttercup will be Vippi Patter-
son and Helen Edwards, and Jim-
mie Ann McGee and Jackie King
will play Tommy Tucker, the
Midship Mite.

The leading male roles are be-
ing practiced by Bill Crutcher and
Manly Flournoy, , the Admiral;
Bill McPherson, Ralph; Jim Byrd,
Dick Deadeye; Sam Green, x the
Boatswain, and Ellis Gurry, the
Captain.

The opera is under the direc-
tion of Lewis H. Johnson, associ-
ate professor of music, coaching
the leading players, Mrs. Rebekah
M. Clarke, instructor in music,
working with the Agnes Scott glee
club, and Walter C. Herbert, di-
rector of the Georgia Tech glee
club.

This comedy begins with the
plight of the sailor Ralph Rack-
straw who is in love with Jose-
phine for whom the Captain has
chosen the Admiral, Sir Joseph
Porter, K. C. B, as a suitor. Jo-
sephine rejects the Admiral, and
she and Ralph are planning to
elope when the scheme is discov-
ered. As Ralph is about to be
sent to the dungeon, Buttercup,

the bumboat woman, saves the
day with a story of how she had
"mixed those children (Ralph and
the Captain) up" when she was
nursing them years before. The
two exchange places, and the Ad-
miral, thinking Josepinenow be-
low his rank, bestows her upon
Ralph.

Rep. Council To Present-
Substitute for Black Cat

for this first-night performance
will open at the hour of 7:30 p. m.;

billing for their outstanding duet
work. Dina Lee, one of the skill-
ed choreographers for this pro-
duction, is also starred in several
dances. These "high-road" fa-
vorites are assisted by a cast of
twenty-five.

Following the floor show there
will be a First-Night dance for
all tke lassies and laddies of Ang-
us Scottland. The bag-pipes of
Joe Dance and his men will pro-
vide the music until 12 midnight.

Alumnae to Return Friday, February 10
For Annual ASC Homecoming Week-end

By Marie Woods

Alumnae from all classes will return to the campus the
week-end of February 10-11 to compare notes on what's hap-
pened to whom since last year and to check personally on
building and campus progress at the annual Alumnae Week-
end.

The Alumnae association has
planned a program which will
open in chapel Saturday morning,
with an address by Morris Abram,
Atlanta lawyer and former Rhodes
Scholar. Mr. Abram will speak
on "The Southern College Gradu-
ate's Responsibility as a Citizen."

After chapel, the group will
meet in Maclean auditorium for a
discussion of Southern problems,
lead by Mr. Abram, and a talk by
Dr. Wallace Alston, vice-presi-

dent, on the future of Agnes Scott.

Any of the group who wish, may
eat at the Alumnae House, and
after lunch, continue the program
with an inspection tour of new
buildings and grounds.

Jean Bailey Owen, class of '39,
who is special events chairman of
the Alumnae association, also
stated in her letter to the alumnae
that early risers may attend Sat-
urday morning classes.

Bust a Piggy Bank,
Crown a Queen

"Well, you see," she explained, "I've already given to the
combined drive, if the idea is just for charity. And if class
spirit and who wins are the important things, it looks like
getting out and finding some really big contributions would
be the best thing to do."

But the idea in electing the Junior Joint queen on the basis
of the amount of money her class can collect for a specified
charity, isn't another opportunity for class competition in
the usual sense, nor is it merely an extension of the charity
appeal.

It's true that the class which succeeds in crowning its queen
as Annie Laurie will have won over some pretty stiff compe-
tition and will have made the biggest contribution to the
World Student Service Fund, an organization which is more
than worthy of support by students everywhere. But the
really big idea behind it all is that every person in every
class will have a part in this junior project. Because Junior
Joint is an event which belongs especially to the junior class,
but it is also a project for the whole school, an opportunity
to work a lot and play a lot together.

And that means not just offering suggestions about a Mr.
Money-bags who might be persuaded to hand over a three-
digit contribution. It means busting the piggy bank to get
out a personal contribution for charity and class spirit as
well as cooperation.

Maybe the solicitor explained all this to her in time for her
to give her part. M. W.

If you were going to interview
Tom Drake, what would you ask
him?

Oh, I don't know. Maybe Oh,
I don't know.

You flock to see him in "Two
Girls and a Sailor," in "Meet Me in
St. Louis," in "The Green Years,"
and "Mr. Belvedere Goes to Col-
lege," and you still don't know
what you'd ask him if you were
talking to him. Maybe you'd just
chat.

And if you did, you'd probably
find him to be a very cordial
young actor who takes his fame
matter-of-factly with an easy
modesty. He might be attired in a
gray tweed suit, white shirt with
French cuffs, and a maroon tie.
H% would punctuate his sentences
with that charming Drake smile
and would have frowned thought-
fully while he talked.

And while he talked, he would
tell you that he is in Atlanta to
play at the Penthouse Theater in
"John Loves Mary," a brand new
play for him. He would also tell
you that he likes Atlanta very
much, although this is only his
second visit here, and that he plans
to see all the sights this week. No,
the public doesn't bother him,
he'd say; they don't really expect
to see anyone and it sometimes
takes them a block to realize that
there was somebody they had seen
in pictures.

Since you're from Agnes Scott
the conversation would eventually
arrive at the subject of girls. You
would wonder which he likes, the
sophisticated or the homey lass.
Then he'd probably surprise you
by telling you he thinks a girl can
be both. And as for dating, he
would tell you he likes girls he
can call at the last minute to go
out to dinner or for an evening
of dancing he has a small "semi-
circle" of friends who will accept
such invitations, knowing that he
doesn't like to plan things.

And if you told him about our
chaperonage rules, he'd probably
grin teasingly and say something
like, "Are senior chaperones to
protect freshmen?" But he prob-
ably wouldn't think our rules were
very strict because he graduated
from Mercerburg Military Acad-
emy in Pennsylvania and he'd
probably tell you he was a reac-

tionary to the strictness, being a
fairly well-behaved boy when he
went in.

Nevertheless, strict or lenient,
whichever it may be, the teen-
agers' idol would, without a doubt,
recommend college for everyone.
And it would be a good wager to
bet that he'd be interested in the
exchange systems of Emory and
Agnes Scott.

And how do I know all of this?
Well, I did interview him. But
I didn't know what to ask him,
either, so guess what we just
chatted!

The front side of the building
is glass, and you can see them
watching for us and then waving,"
Ellen Hull explained as she told
about her Saturday afternoons
at Scottish Rite.

"There's really not too much
we can do for the babies," she re-
sponded to my question, "except
to love them but they never get
enough of that. They are cute,
but they aren't like normal chil-
dren; many show signs of mental
as well as physical retardation.
Among the most pathetic in this
age 'group is a small baby who is
terribly scarred from a bulb ex-
plosion in his incubator; the nurse
forgot to turn it off at the right
time."

The favorite pastime of the old-
er children, from six to 12, is hav-
ing letters read to them from
home. "Somehow," Ellen says wist-
fully, "there never seem to be any
mothers around. Most of the chil-
dren are from out of state, and
then too, the doctors discourage
visits from home."

Many of these children have
spent their entire lives at Scot-
tish Rite. One little girl who lost
her hand in a recent operation
says every Saturday, "I'm going
home next week" but she never
does.

All of the children are suffer-
ing from malnutrition and other
deficiencies; all of them are hun-
gry for affection. Even if you
can't do anything else, Ellen says
for you to just go to see them and
love them.

Slings and Arrows

By Helen Edwards

What is your opinion on the
matter? Not that it matters, but
what is it?

But you say, maybe my opinion
does matter. It decides what dress
I shall wear to the Naval Air Sta-
tion. Nobody tells me what to
do with my week-ends. And who,
besides me, selects my friends?
What do you mean my opinion
doesn't matter? To me, at. least.

So you think I'm selfish, huh?

No, just self-centered. It's so
easy going along this way, not
worrying, not really worrying
about the Communist advance in
China or whether or not Great
Britain remains a laoor govern-
ment.

But what does my opinion on
that matter mean? I'm certainly
not going to change the world
or even a bit of foreign policy.

No, not the world, or even a
bit of foreign policy, but a little
interest in such things on the part
of the students and future gradu-
ates of outstanding colleges might
arouse a few people who would
do something about foreign pol-
icy ,at least.

Television Keeps Close Tabs
On Aggies Event-ful Weekend

By Harriot Ann

It moves it talks it's .magic! But the tag says "Television!" With
a flip o the switch you can bring all of the goings-on from near and
far right before your very eyes! All news rooms should be equipped
with these magic eyes The reporter who flits eagerly here and yon
with a press card in her hat is dated from the last century. The modern
reporter props her feet up on the desk, sips a coke, and pounds out the
events on the typewriter as they come over the screen.

Friday night WTEK-TV flashed the Kappa Sig Black and White
Ball from 9 to 12. I sat before my typewriter and
listed the names as I saw the Agnes Scott girls on
the screen Anne Jones, Roberta Williams, Jane
Hambrick, Mary Jane Leake, Jackie Pfarr, Helen
Land, Ruth Whiting, Jane Puckett, Margaretta
Lumpkin, Carolyn Wettstein, Adelaide Ryall, Did-
die Sells, Pat Cortelyou, Phyllis Galphin, Sara Sam-
onds, Margie Major, Margaret Hopkins, Carolyn
Galbreath, Sally Jackson, Isabel Truslow, and Ann
Gebhardt. Isabel looked very happy and "Sleepy"
looked very wide awake they must be pinned!
During the intermission of the Ball, I switched the
dial to station WEAS-TV and watched the party at the KA house.
Dot Ring, Mary Jane Largen, Millie Allison, Susan Hancock, Martha
Fortson, Edith Petrie, petty Moon, Kitty Freeman, and Jean Junker
televised nicely and looked as if they were having a grand time.

Television Tunes Tek's Trap

Saturday night, I tried to tune in WTEK and nothing but static
and blur came over the waves. Then I remembered that the SAE's
were having a Hellzapoppin' party! The pledges presented a skit
during the latter part of the party and I saw Susan Hancock, Dot Ring,
Anne McLeod, Jane Puckett, Pat Cortelyou, Margaretta Lumpkin,
Phyllis Galphin, Diddie Sells, Ann, Warren, Adeline Miller, Mary Beth
Robinson, Sue Dodson, Betty Anne Green, Martha Norton, and Laurie
Wannamaker laughing and having the best time.

A play by play account of the Tech-Tennessee basketball game was
televised on Saturday. Taffie Merrill, Roseilyn Kennedy, Ann Boyer,
and Pat Patterson (with her Mississippi man) were cheering for the
home team, between bites of popcorn.

Push Pull, Aggie Clicks!

Thanks to push button tuning, I can switch my TV set to many dif-
ferent stations, and see many, many events. Per usual, I saw Ann
Gebhardt, Isabel Truslow, and Margie Major at the Tech Beta House.
Saturday night, Ginnie Feddeman and Su Boney went on the Phi
Kappa Sig picnic. Cissie Spiro was at the AEPi House at Emory, and
Joann Piastre and Jean Niven went to the Empire Room. The Sigma
Chis had an "unusual" party Saturday night for details see Margie
Thomason, Patt Martin, and Jane Hambrick. Annelle Simpson, Ann
Kinoaid, and Adele Lee went to the Phi Chi House dance love those
med students! If you want to know what a "Depression Party" is,
Doris Clingman and Mary Lindsey know! It was staged at the Lamb-
da Chi house at Tech on Saturday night. Lola Purcell, Cissie Simmons,
and Mif Martin went to the you guessed it Phi Delt House at Tech!

Aggie Broadcasts Off-Campus Week-end

Agnes Scott may not be on television, but many happy people I know
would like to broadcast that they had visitors this week-end. Joanne
Christopher had a guest from Fort Benning, Nancy Casin had a Tu-
lane visitor, Anne Boyer's Lamar was here, Adelaide Ryall, Sara Sam-
onds, Cathie Davis, Lola Purcell, Flo Worthy, Jane Newland, and
Barbara Ann West had company. Several boys who gave diamond
Christmas presents came to Agnes Scott to receive their due congrat-
ulations Genie PaschalTs and Emily Ann Reid's fiances were here.

Several girls went away this week-end Ann Potts, June Price,
Jimmie Ann McGee, Ann Griggs, Charlotte Evans, Dot Davis and Janet
Sowell went home. Sara Jane Campbell went home with Helen Edwards.
Frances Ginn went to Georgia, Bett Linton went to Auburn to the
Sigma Pi Orchid Ball. Have you seen Louise Arant's lovely diamond
ring? She is planning to be married on Graduation day!

Culture Corner

By Harriot Ann

Agnes Scott girls: Resolved that
in 1950 we will try to see more
good plays, movies, and exhibits
or that we will date boys who will
take us there! If your date asks
for suggestions for the evening's
entertainment, take advantage of
you big moment, and say "Pent-
house" before he can get the car
door closed! Pull him by the key
chain to the bulletin board in
Main where there are loads of
good suggestions about what's go-
ing on in Atlanta (there are some
clever cartoons, too!)

Attention, Movie Fans!

The Paramount Theater is pre-
senting now the Southern Premi-
ere of "Samson and Delilah," Ce-
cil B. de Mille's masterpiece. If
you haven't seen "Battleground,"
do! You've probably heard all of
the favorable comments about it,
and they're not exaggerated. Hel-
en Edwards' man, Tom Drake, is
starring in "John Loves Mary"
at the Penthouse. According to.
her, he's "just like the movies!"
(Sigh.)

If ' you didn't get to the High
Museum of Art this Sunday af-
ternoon to see George Beatty's
paintings, don't be too disappoint-
ed, because his works will be ex-
hibited there until January 29.
Some of his subjects include still
life, street scenes, houses, and por-
traits. He's not too ultra-modern
for us conservatives.

Coming Concerts '

And while you are suggesting
all these things to your lucky
date, drop some hints that tickets
are on sale now for several shows
coming in February. The Ballet
Russe will be in Atlanta on Febru-
ary 3 and 4.

The performance Friday night
is on the All Star Concert Series
and will include Giselle, Pas de
Duex Classique, and Graduation
Ball. The company will present
Swan Lake, Birthday and Ray-
monda, Act 3, on Saturday night.
Tickets are available at the Cable
Piano Company. The Holiday On
Ice Review of 1950 will be in At-
lanta from February 17 to 26.

The Tower Theater has billed
Phil Spitalny's Hour of Charm or-
chestra on January 26, and Sig-
mund Romberg and his orchestra
for February 18 and 19. There
will be a flower show in the Bilt-
more Hotel on February 4 and 5.
The show will feature Camellias,
and a miniature Chinese garden
will also be displayed.

Shoppers Swarm Up Town

Have you seen Atlanta's new
uptown store? Peck and Peck
had its grand opening last Wed-
nesday and it featured the Greek
revival in all vacation clothes. Oh
well, we were tired of those all-
American shorts we had last year,
anyway! Muse's uptown store is
not complete yet, but looks prom-
ising.

Planning to go to New York
this spring vacation or for your
graduation present? Then you'll
probably want to see the new mu-
sical drama, "Lost in the Stars."
Why not read the book from which
the play was written? It's Alan
Paton's "Cry, The Beloved Coun-
try." David Dempsey, critic for
the New York Times, said the
new books, "Mary," by Asch, and
"The Waters of Siloe," by Merton,
"are just what the doctor (of di-
vinity) ordered to keep the in-
spirational trend rolling."

NSA Sends Bulletin
On Summer Tours

Just arrived on campus is the
National Student Association bul-
letin on "Work, Study, Travel
ABROAD . . . 1950." The pamphlet
is a compilation of outstanding op-
portunities for study and travel
abroad along with names and ad-
dresses from which to secure addi-
tional information.

Highlights of summer tnavel
tours are those sponsored by NSA
at reduced prices. Included in
the list of these trips are special-
ties for art and music lovers and
visits to Scandanavian countries,
eastern and western Europe, and
the Middle East.

Copies of the new pamphlet are
posted on the Student government
bulletin board in the mail room
and on the NSA back bulletin
board in Buttrick.

Duties in Alumnae House

Mrs. Claude Bradley (Emily
Higgins, '45 ) will resume her du-
ties February 1 as office manager

house, according to Miss Eleanor
Hutchens, Alumnae secretary.

Juniors Defeat Seniors 23-11;
Frosh Win Over Sophs 24-17

By Marguerite Jackson

The junior and freshman bas-
ketball teams, meeting for the
first time in 1950, will attempt
to dethrone each other from the
number one spot in the class
standings.

Each twice victorious in two
starts, the odd-year sister classes
will clash Friday, Jan. 27, at 4:30
p. m. At 4 p. m. the seniors and
sophomores will go after their
first win of the season.

In last Friday's double feature,
the smooth-passing juniors down-
ed the player-scarce seniors, 23
to 11. Towering over their oppon-
ents the freshmen out-shot the
sophomores, 24 to 17.

Barbara Quattlebaum, Betty
Ziegler, Laurie Wannamaker and
Carol Jacob scored highest for
the winners. Barbara sank eight,
and Betty, seven of the juniors' 23
points while Laurie dropped in 10
and Carol, nine of the 24 points
for the frosh.

Winnie Strozier contributed nine
points toward the defeated soph-
omores' score. Mary Louise War-
lick raised the senior total by five.
Almost from the center line War-
lick and Ann Griggs arched two
perfect long shots into the basket
for the seniors.

Still unaccustomed to the ex-
perimental rule allowing players
to take the ball away from an op-
ponent or tie the ball by putting
their hands on it, the majority
of the players were hesitant about
touching the ball when the other
side had it. All four teams threw
away many of their passes or
booted the ball.

Although the scores were lower
as was expected under the new
rule, play was faster and more ex-

citing and more fatiguing.

Sinking three points in the first
minute of play, the juniors fought
down the seniors' brief attempt to
tie the score' early in the game.
Charlotte Key, and Freddie Hach-
tel, two of the taller junior guards,
helped the class of '51 to a 13-4
lead at halftime.

Inspired by the large turnout,
peppy pre-game demonstration
and lusty cheers by their class-
mates, the freshmen racked up
an early lead which they held
throughout the game.

Playing for the juniors were
Charlotte Key, Freddie Hachtel,
and Barbara Caldwell, guards;
and Betty Esco, Betty Zeigler and
Katherine Loemker, forwards.
Substitutes were Virginia Arnold,
Barbara Quattlebaum, Jenelle
Spear, Barbara Futral, and Ellen
Hull.

On the senior team were guards
Betty Van Houten, Barbara Law-
son, and Frances Givens; for-

Intercollegiate Sports to Meet
Needs of Class, School Spirit

By Charlotte Key

The absence of your sports editor gives me a chance to put
into words some of my "old" thoughts. Why not have inter-
collegiate sports competition on the Agnes Scott campus?
Class spirit, especially as far as sports are concerned, is, to
say the least, not what it should be. School spirit in general
is a little weak, and it is entirely j ber those football games when so

lacking as far as sports are con
cerned.

The "Community" often seems
to be disunited; but, after all, what
have we to bring us together, to
give us a common aim or a com-
mon project to back? Now that
the campaign is over, all we have
is an intangible loyalty.

The value of Intangibles is evi-
dent, but loyalty to one's Alma
Mater needs encouragement at
times.

None of us are too far removed
from high school days to remem-

Louise Warlick and Marguerite
Jackson drew byes.

great a part of the student body
turned out and even those who did
not, defended the team and boast-
ed of coming from the school that
produced it.

We may gripe, but we still
think a lot of the "sheltering
arms" enough to believe we can
produce a winning hockey, bas-
ketball, or softball team and
enough to want to prove it.

Agnes Scoffs 'Ballet Russe
Prepares for PopeAdaptation

By Calico

The Ballet Russe has a rival company in Atlanta this
month in the, Agnes Scott Dance Group, which will present
February 21 an original ballet adapted from Alexander
Pope's "Rape of the Lock," by Celia Spiro, junior from New
York City.

Directed by Miss Eugenie Do-

partment, the group has selected
the music and done its own
choreography and pantomime.

Sarah McKee Will Go Abroad
For Putney Living Experiment

Sarah McKee will go abroad this summer as part of the
Putney "Experiment in International Living" as a result of
a gift of $800 by a grandson of the original Agnes Scott. Sarah
was chosen by the faculty committee in charge of administer-
ing the fund, who decided to award the scholarship to Sarah as
the junior applying with the high-

est general record in scholarship,
activities, and character.

Sarah, who is majoring in Eng-
lish and French, listed France, as
her first choice for summer head-
quarters when she applied to the
Putney c'orporation. If she is ac-
cepted, she will spend part of her
vacation as a member of a French
family group.

During her three years at Ag-
nes Scott, Sarah has been a mem-
ber of Christian association coun-
cil, and Poetry club, has sung in

various school choirs, and served
on the literary staffs of Silhou-
ette and Aurora. She is now al-
so poetry editor of Aurora and
president of BOZ.

It will be a return trip across
the Atlantic for Sarah, who was
born in the Belgian Congo where
her parents were Presbyterian
missionaries. One of her broth-
ers and his wife, the former Anne
Shepherd, '48, are studying in
Brussels in preparation for en-
tering the mission field in Africa.

18th century mock heroic epic,
which scoffs at the antics of that
period's society, Was inspired by
the remark of an Agnes Scott
English professor, Miss Ellen
Douglass Leyburn, who mentioned
in class the possibilities the poem
presented for a ballet. Cissie
carried the suggestion with her
to New York last summer and dur-
ing vacation worked on the book.

Under the chairmanship of Bess
Lundeen, who will dance the lead
of Belinda, the students cast the
ballet in October, when work be-
gan on the fifth annual presenta-
tion of the Agnes Scott Dance
Group. Miss Dozier, Cissie, and
Charles Johnson, of Atlanta, Miss
Dozier's accompanist, completed
the research on 18th century mu-
sic which Miss Dozier had begun
in New York during the summer.
Selections chosen for setting the
mood and lending itself to ex-
pressive movement include Mo-
zart's, Scarlatti's, and Handel's

Faith Pigeon-holed or Practiced?

"After all, Agnes Scott is a church-related school." Yes, but
does church-related mean related only in worship and prayer
or does merely having devotionals in chapel make a school
church-related?.

It seems that the term should have a far greater, a higher
meaning. To be church-related should mean that the mem-
bers of the college community are able to see beyond the
more formal aspects of religion used in church services and
to infuse their faith into those activities or ideas which may
seem to others to be completely secular.

Our religious beliefs can guide us and our faith can grow
when we study an English lesson Tuesday, when we cheer at a
basketball game Friday, when we discuss politics, art, or the
works of a master of literature, Sunday. Must we pigeon-
hole religion? C. K.

Shakespear's name attached to

And overheard at Junior Joint:

tips in contributions toward their

'News Reprints December 'Monitor Feature
By Faculty Wife on Agnes Scott's 'Miss Mac

By Dorothy Calder

Following Article Is Reprinted From "Christian Monitor", December 29, 1949

At a formal dinner at Agnes Scott College in Decatur, Ga.,
given for visiting professors of biology, one of the guests fin-
gered the edge of the beautiful lace tablecloth and remarked
on its perfection, "Isn't it lovely?" agreed one of the hostesses,
and added, "Did you know 'Miss Mac' made it?"

The professor looked at his in

former with utter incredulity, and
asked, "Will you kindly repeat
that statement?"

In a room suddenly grown si-
lent, the repetition sounded like
an announcement, and all eyes
turned toward the gracious lady
with the twinkling hazel eyes and
the merry laugh who sat at the
head of the table.

Degrees Don't Narrow Her

"Well!" gasped the astonished
guest, "I can imagine Miss Mac
supervising the construction of a
building or the planting of a for-
est, but not doing anything like
this! When did you find the time?
It must have taken years to com-
plete."

"Oh, no," Miss Mac replied mod-
estly. "I just picked it up while
I listened to news broadcasts twice
a day. It was something for my
hands to do while I listened, and it
took only seven months."

It is little wonder that the pro-
fessor was amazed at this discov-
ery, for Mary Stuart MacDougall
has an awe-inspiring string of de-
grees both before and after het
name and none of these has much
to do with the distaff side of life.
Her biology textbooks are in use
in over 50 colleges and univer-
sities.

She is the author of many re-
search papers, and during the war
served in the capacity of special
consultant to the United States
Public Health Service. Doctor
MacDougall has earned the right
to that title at both Columbia
University and at the University
of Montpellier in France, and is
one of the relatively few women
who have been awarded a Gug-
genheim Fellowship for research.
In 1944 she was chosen as At-
lanta's Woman of the Year.
"Had to Scuffle" in Youth

But to the hundreds of Agnes
Scott College girls who have taken
biology or zoology in the last 29
years, and to everyone else on
the campus from the president to
the janitors, she is affectionately
known as "Miss Mac."

Freshmen are usually awed by
the sight of her tall erect figure
walking purposefully across the
campus or addressing them in the
lecture room. However, before
many days her gay laughter and
witty side remarks open the doors
to friendships that last through
the years.

Getting to know Miss Mac is to
be introduced to a delightful com-
bination of interests that dovetail
perfectly into her busy life. Her
passion for work was born of ne-
cessity, but nurtured by enthusi-
asm and the sheer love of living
richly every hour of the day.

Orphaned at an early age, she
and a sister "had to scuffle" to
care for the rest of the seven
children. Fine Scottish parents
had given her an appreciation for
the good things of life and the
characteristic Scottish determina-'
tion to achieve her goals. But it
was owing to the scheduling of
classes at Randolph-Macon Wom-
an's College that she became a
biology teacher at Agnes Scott in-
stead of a history teacher.

"Of course, I had to work my
way through college," she ex-
plained. "I was fortunate to be
able to do office work, but it took
up all my mornings, so I couldn't

attend any courses given at that
time. Only science courses were
scheduled in the afternoon and
I took everything the college of-
fered."

Activities Purposeful

A teatime visit with Miss Mac
in her rooms on the campus at
Ansley House reveals many of
her other interests. Fine books
almost line the walls in the Little
parlor, and provide a colorful
background for the HepplewHite
chairs and the cherry rocker all
'Covered with exquisite needle-
point. Knowing about the lace
tablecloth, I felt safe to guess this
was her handiwork, too. It was.

The books range all the way
from mystery stories to the new-
est biographies. "I read according
to mood," she told me. "Each book
you see has a purpose. One stim-
ulates, one relaxes, and another
puts me to sleep."

In one corner is a precious col-
lection of old fairy tales in the
original German and quaintly il-
lustrated. They are perennial fa-
vorites of hers that date back to
childhood and continue to hold her
fancy.

Mary Stuart MacDougall has a
few hidden talents which come to
light only rarely. One is a dra-
matic gift for mimicry, which she
admits has to be indulged judi-
ciously. The other is a flair for
writing bits of poetry. They never
reach the printed page, but
friends are often recipients of
these rhyming lines. "Because
most of my writing is of such a
disciplined, factual nature, it is
relaxing and interesting to turn
my mind to something light and
amusing," she said.

If a conversation with Miss Mac
doesn't begin with the subject of
flowers, it is sure to get there
sooner or later, and likely as not
you'll leave her house by the back
door if you don't know her well
enough to arrive by that entrance.
That otherwise uninteresting pas-
sageway is a veritable greenhouse
where dozens of pots of every
variety of African violet bloom
throughout the year beside hot-
beds for seedlings and rootings.
Guardian of Campus Bushes

Wooden tubs (that were for-
merly biological specimen ship-
ping cases) of dirt and sand are
in sight t and if you're the least
bit interested, you will learn that
most seedlings or rooted stems
take best to a mixture of one
third wood's earth, one third sand,
and one third peat moss.

On a table near the door is a
sturdy pair of pruning snippers
that Miss Mac picks up before
starting on any walk. And be-
cause of them, she has become un-
officially known as the guardian
of the many flowering bushes and
trees on the campus which she
planted from "tiny switches' in
years past.

At Christmastime, generous

MISS "MAC"

cuttings of hawthorn berry, holly,
and sometimes roses find their
way to college parlors and faculty
homes. Many spots about the
campus have thus grown to love-
liness because of her desire to
perpetuate growth and beauty.

Mary Stuart MacDougall has
been identified in academic pro-
cessions as the ,Lady of the Red
Robe, but she personally identifies
herself as just a work-a-day per-
son in a work-a-day world. She
is looking forward to the time
when her second textbook will be
ready for the press, and she can
take time to learn something
about photography <and a few
other interesting activities.

Slings and Arrows

By Helen Edwards

Even if you don't know what the
score is, you can be sure of one
thing the class of '53 is in the
top bracket.

Fall quarter was long for some
and, at times, tedious for even the
most hardy. It was also away
from home. And exams well

Then Christmas came, and the
anticipated trip home home for
two weeks! Even school didn't
look so formidable from that big
easy chair by the fire especially
among all the stories brought
home about the Tech football
games and the many, many new
friends.

Then back at school and so
many things to do. So many
things to hear. So many things
to tell. And in all the excitement,
guess what that little cape of
homesickness was left ohj the
train. Or maybe it fell in the back
of the closet. Anyway, there was
no time to press it, what with the
open house, Shakespeare, and Co-
tillion.

And, of course, Junior Joint. To
quote Shakespeare (frosh edi-
tion), "Boys, talent ain't every-
thing," although they've got plen-
ty of that. But best of all they've
got that old class spirit, and even
though the cat hasn't been sit-
ting in Inman lobby all year, when
the class of '53 presents it to the
Class of '54 next fall we can be
sure the new class will be guided
in the right direction because '53
knows what the cat means. They
know they saw a puddy cat!

Coming Operetta

Agnes Scott, Tech Glee Clubs
Rehearse for 8th 'Pinafore'

By Vippi Patterson

"The Lass That Loved a Sailor" would be an interesting
situation in any period or any clime. This is the sub-title of
the opera, "Pinafore/' to be given the evening of February
10th in Presser Hall and February 11th at Georgia Tech, by
the Agnes Scott and Georgia Tech Glee Clubs. The period is
around 1815, and the atmosphere

is definitely English. The situation
is therefore tragic because our
heroine, a Captain's daughter,
loves a simple sailor lowly born.

"Pinafore" ranks next to "Mi-
kado" in popularity and many of
its choruses are even more well
known. At Agnes Scott, it is per-
haps the most popular of all the
Gilbert and Sullivan light operas,
this being the eighth performance
here. The first one given in 1931
on the old chapel stage, was in
concert form.

Written over 70 years ago, the
acting and generous use of asides
to the audience seem quite old
school, but in its light, joyous
satire on the British Navy, it has
had and still enjoys great respect
wherever music and acting are
combined for sheer pleasure and
entertainment.

Lapp of the physical education de-

Working independently of Dance
Group, a modern dance class has
choreographed two parts of the
ballet which they will dance a
card game and a scene in the cave
at spleen, the source of all 18th
century womanly ills and affecta-

Aggie Fills Social Date Book
With Fraternity Flings, Guests

By FRANKIE HOWERTON, Guest Editor

"Who do you suppose was in Piedmont Park at 2:45 this morning?"
To find out you'll have to listen to the latest gossip. "Who do you
suppose came in ten minutes late last night?" To find out gaze out of
your red brick tower. But for the latest in parties and pretty girls
read your weekly News.

Bonnie Briar Tavern on McScott campus seemed to attract pretty
lassies with their braw young men from 'round the neighboring country
side to join in the 'pipn' dancin'. Margaret McRae,
Catherine Crowe, Ann Jones, Frances Summer-
ville, Ann Beasley, Anne Potts, Gwen Foster, Flo
Kibler, Betty Wilson, Donna Limbert, Betty Mob-
ley, Marcy 0,Ferrall, Mary Ann Gerrard, Nancy
Wilkinson, Sally Thompson, Patty Morgan, and
Ann Griggs had guests from near and far, includ-
ing Davidson, Milledgeville, Clemson, University of
Ga., North Carolina, and Alabama. Stellise Robey,
Norma Waldrep, and Pat Williams had their hus-
| bands-to-be on hand . . . Mark one up! Jeannine
Byrd has just acquired a ring with man to match! . . .
Ex-classmates Cissie Westbrook, Casey Chance, Julie Morgan, and
Petie Cruze came back to join in the fun. The evening's highlights
were the presentations of the lassies from each classy Beryl Crews
in a white strapless, Bett Linton in a light green gown with a white
carnation crown, Betty Ziegler in an American beauty dress with a"
plaid bustle in accordance with the occasion; and queen of the ball
was Marybeth Robinson dressed in red to match her queen's bouquet of
red and white flowers.

Dashing Drake Dazzles Damsels

It seems Tom Drake at the Penthouse Theatre attracted several
pretty girls' attention. The Mary Sweet freshmen attended the
Saturday matinee en masse and La Wanna Rigdon went, too.

Tech and Emory had their usual round of parties. It sounded like
a Phi Delt week-end for Emory with a banquet at the East Lake
Country Club complete with miniature mugs as favors, followed by a
formal dance at the Peachtree Gardens and breakfast at the house.
Betty Averill, Mif Martin, Emy Evans, Ann Cope, Jean Junker, Helen
Land, Sylvia Williams, Mary Lindsey, Doris Clingman, Louise Ross,
Betty McClellan, Donna Dugger, Georgia Buchanan, Betty Wilson
Ellie McCarty, Donna Limbert, Jane Oliver, Charlotte Bartlett, Bess
Lundeen, Virginia Skinner, Nell Floyd, Joarin Wood, Anne Erwin,
Jeanne Cone, and Mary Young attended this grand affair.

Fraternities Stir Nite Life For Aggie

The ATO's at Emory had a night club party for their initiations; in-
cluded in this fun were Jane Oliver, Lyd Gardner, Dot Duckworth,
Nancy DeArmond, Julia Clark, Ann Goolsby, Smokey Bowers, Nancy
Ruffner, and Ann Herman.

The night life was stirring on Tech's Fraternity Row, too. Joan
Jordan, Ruth Whiting, Mary Jane Largen, and Sylvia Williams went
to the Sigma Chi house dance; Wilton Rice went to the Phi Kappa Sig
house. Mac McDonald, Isabel Truslow, Ann Gebhardt, Adele Lee,
Margie Major, and Cathie Davis went to a Beta rush party. The SAE's
filled their dates with shrimp on Saturday night; included were
Charlotte Evans, Jane Puckett, Margaretta Lumpkin, Patricia Cortel-
you, Lola Purcell, Adaline Miller, and Betty Ann Green.

Some even skipped off for the week-end. Jean Niven went home,
and Patt Martin went to a swimming meet at Swanee.

Yes, I guess that's all. Did I leave you out? Well, maybe you studied
this week-end. One or two did!

Juniors Untie Basketball Race
By Defeating Freshmen 37-17

The juniors untied the basketball race for first place as
they handed the freshmen their first defeat of the year, 37 to
17, Friday. Each still unable to break into the win column,
the seniors and sophomores tied their game, 16 all, in a point
for point battle.

The class of '51 set the pace
for the junior-freshman play. As
forwards Betty Esco and Barbara
Quattlebaum hit the basket with
15 and 13 points respectively,
guards Freddie Hachtel, Virginia
Arnold, and Charlotte Key took
advantage of their height to inter-
cept freshman shots and passes.
Defending a 17-point lead, they
held the frosh to 5 tallies during
the first half.

Despite the lightning fast run-
ning and shooting by Winnie Stro-
zier, the sophomores failed to de-
feat their older sisters. Offering
stubborn resistance, the seniors
exhibited their best offensive and
defensive play of the season.

Knotted 6 to 6 at the end of the
first half, the two teams contin-
ued to swap points in the third
and fourth quarters, when the
sophomores gained a three point
lead. Then seniors came back in
the last few minutes of play to
tie the game, 16 to 16. During
the final 60 seconds, botil teams
tried spiritedly to break the dead-
lock.

Carol Lou Jacob, Winnie Stro-
zier and Mary Louise Warlick led
the scoring attacks for the teams
which didn't quite win. Carol Lou
boosted the freshman score by 11
points; Winnie Strozier dropped
in 10 for the sophomores, and
Mary Louise Warlick contributed
9 to the senior total.

In both games fouls were called
more closely than they were in
the other two double-headers of
1950. Guards and forwards on all
four teams made more use of the
experimental rule of tieing the
ball or taking it away from the op-
ponent.

Playing for the juniors were

were Mary Louise Warlick, Genie

New Black Cat Stunt Scheme
Will Unite Frosh, Soph Classes

Next year's Black Cat will be a night of entertainment for
the campus sponsored by the freshman and sophomore classes
together. At student meeting in chapel last Thursday, the
students accepted almost unanimously the scheme presented
by Representative council.

In presenting the plan, Student
government president Sarah Tuck-
er said the arrangement will en-
able the members of the two
classes to become acquainted,
since they would, logically, be
closer than would sister classes.
Class competition can be concen-
trated on the Junior Joint skits
when the four classes, rather than
just two, would be competing.

At the end of the program, the
sophomores will present the black
cat to the freshmen as a sign
of their membership in the col-
lege community arid as a good-
luck token during the year. The
plan will be on an experimental
basis for the first few years.

AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE, DECATUR, GA., Wednesday, Feb. 8, 1950

Morris Abram, Atlanta Lawyer,
To Speak to Returning Alumnae

The alumnae will return to campus February 10, and Miss
Eleanor Hutchens, alumnae secretary, announces a set of
plans for February that will have as their aim to unite stu-
dents and alumnae.

The outstanding figure of the day will be Morris Abram,
Atlanta attorney and former

Rhodes Scholar.

Mr. Abram is brought here
through a gift made by the father
of an alumna of '44, Miss Anne
Ward. John Ward made his
gift with the idea of obtaining
speakers to give the students on
campus an idea of their duties of
citizenship as southern college
graduates.

His idea of having the speaker
spend some time on the campus
when he comes is being carried
out in the case of Mr. Abram, who
will speak in chapel on Friday and
on Saturday, and Friday after-
noon from 3 until 4. After the
Saturday chapel he will lead a
discussion for students and alum-
nae in Maclean auditorium. Mr.
Abram has been here before at
which time he spoke on the back-
wardness of the South.

Saturday afternoon, students
under the direction of Miss Molly
Milam, assistant to the dean, will
guide alumnae around campus to
show them new buildings and im-
provements.

Mr. Abram won his Rhodes
Scholarship in 1938. The war de-
1 a y e d his using the schol-
arship until 1946, at which time he
attended Pembroke College, Ox-

ford, for two years and also de-
bated with the Oxford Union.

He received his degree in law
from the University of Chicago
in 1939 on another scholarship.
During the war he served as a
major in the Army, and was a
participant in the Nuremburg
war trials.

For a short time in 1948 after
his return to the United States,
Mr. Abram was a Southeastern
field representative of Stimson
Committee for the Marshall Plan.
He is at present with the r law
firm of Heyman, Howell & Hey-
man.

Recently, Mr. Abram has been
one of the leaders in legal pro-
ceedings concerning the voter re-
registration law and the county
unit system.

Moving to Begin This Summer
To Clear Site for Science Hall

In preparation for the construction of a new science hall,
there will be a mass moving campaign on the Agnes Scott
campus this summer.

West Lawn cottage will be moved to its. fourth location.
Previously this building was located at the present site of
Rebekah Scott, then where the

library is now, and then at its
present location.

The science building will be lo-
cated where the homes of W. J.
Frierson, professor of chemistry,
Lewis H. Johnson, associate pro-
fessor of music, and Paul L. Gar-
ber, professor of Bible, are situ-
ated. Mr. Frierson's and Mr.
Johnson's homes will be moved to
Dougherty street near that of S.
Guerry Stukes, registrar; and Mr.
Garber's home will probably be
torn down.

Dr. McCain has announced that
the science building may be be-
gun next summer, provided that
the necessary funds are available.

Another campus improvement
this year is the new grading done
in the May Day dell. The new
stage is wider than the old one
and slopes toward the audience. A
tile drain will enable water to
run off easily. New planting of
the grounds at the dell will prob-
ably be completed this week.

Library Group
Cites Hanley

In a recent survey sponsored by
the American Library association,
Miss Edna Ruth Hanley, Agnes
Scott librarian, received the third
highest number of recommenda-
tions for her qualifications as a
library building consultant. In
this nation-wide survey of colleges
and universities, librarians were
asked to name others of their pro-
fession who were in their judg-
ment qualified to be consultants
on library building. The report
of this survey revealed 109 names
recommended.

Miss Hanley has done special
work in graduate school at the
University of Michigan on plan-
ning library buildings. Her the-
sis, "College and University Li-
brary Building," was on that phase
of library work, and was revised
and published in 1939 by the Amer-
ican Library association.

2 THE AGNES SCOTT NEWS Wednesday. Feb. 8. 1950

Fences Are For 'Shut-ins'
And For Us?

There seems to be a white picket fence around the Agnes
Scott campus. And of course it's nice to be shut in, but with
times as they are, the well-rounded college girl of today
should know what's happening outside A. S. C. even what's
happening outside the U. S. A.

Certain signs around campus are sure indications that what
little feeling the Agnes Scott girl might have had toward
world affairs is practically gone. A column reviewing the
news events of the day in this paper had to' be killed because
it lacked reader interest. And it is rumored that only less
than a third of the political science students are really in-
terested in political science!

A real interest in history in the making has to come from
the individual of course, but a little stimulus from the campus
organizations, the library, and the chapel committee could be
a real help. D. B.

Slings and Arrows

A. S. Scholars
Will Ever Find
Diller Dollars

By Helen Edwards

A diller, a dollar, what good is a
scholar in trying to find a job?

If you don't know it's high time
you did. Not that your family
will throw you out on youd left
ear if you aren't self-suporting
after graduation or that a sum-
mer job will send you back to
school a millionaire next fall, but
it's rather tantalizing to wonder
whether or not you really could
make a living.

The only inconvenience about
job-hunting, though, is the fact
that you can't always find the ex-
act job you want you just have
to take the job that is where you
are. But then that's where you
are the lucky one, having been ex-
posed to liberal arts training.
As a scholar you know how to
learn and can most probably
adapt yourself and your know-
ledge to any job.

But maybe you don't know what
kind of job you want in the first
place or what kind you are best
fitted for. You don't have to
give up there, either. Mrs. Clay
Lewis, assistant to the dean, has

Visual Aids Committee Selects
New Buttrick Projection Room

To facilitate the use of visual aids in teaching, room 203 in
Buttrick Hall has been set aside as a projection room for the
whole college. Equipment is being installed this week, and
the room will be ready for use in the near future.

The Art department lecture room in Buttrick has been used

for showing movies and slides in j

the past. Because of the difficul-
ties in arranging for the use of
this room, a Visual Aids commit-
tee was formed to* investigate the
possibilities of setting aside a
place to be used solely as a projec-
tion room.

Paul L. Garber, professor of
Bible, was chairman of the com-
mitee, with Miss Llewellen Wil-
burn, associate professor of phys-
ical education, and Henry Forman,
professor of art, to assist him.

There will be no definite sche-
dule for the use of the new pro-
jection room. Faculty members
and clubs are asked to reserve
the room whenever they need it.

New equipment for the room
includes drapes, a projection
screen, and a slide projector. A
projector stand is being made in
the college maintenance shop.

psychology at the University of
Wisconsin, on "The Cortical Lo-

the committee. Other members include Helen Edwards, sen-
ior; Sarah Samonds, junior;)' '

Black Cat night and replace them
with a joint entertainment to be

of the first problems members of
the committee will consider will

Agnes Scott Socialites 'Pass'
Before Bridge-Table Gossips

By ANN BOYER

"Well, here we are again the Saturday Night Bridge Club, for
Those Who Don't Go Out."

"Isn't it the truth? I think everyone on campus must be out but
let's not be bitter, girls. Cut for deal. Guess that means you, Jane.
Did everyone go to the Sigma Chi formal last night ? Oh, it was won-
derful! There sure were a lot of ASC girls there. Besides Shirley Ford
and Joan White, who were candidates for the Sweetheart, I saw Nancy
Loemker, Ann Goolsby, LaBelle David, Dot Ring, Millie Allison,
Mary Jane Largen, Charity Bennett, Jeanne Kline, B. J. Foster, Mary
Lindsay, Virginia Claire Hayes, Margaret Walker, Joann and Sue
Peterson, Margaret Maier, Sally Jackson, Jessie Carpenter, Ann Geb-
hardt, and Margie Major. Let's see. Your bid, Jane."

"One spade. I don't see how many people could have been left to
go to the Ballet Russe, but two busses were filled (gross understate-
ment, when referring to the usual concert busses) with girls who
seemed *o prefer their dancing with "culture." Truly, the Ballet was
beautiful, especially the "Pas de Deux." Several more girls have gone
tonight, too. Anne Craig, Eliza White, Anita Coyne, Pat Thomason,
Lillian Beall, Shirley Heath, Cornelia Dickerson, June Carpenter,
Helen Land, Ann Boyer, Catherine Redles, Anne Sears, Jane Crayton,
Peggy Hooker, Georgianna Buchanan, Sally Thompson, Beryl Crews,
Isabel Truslow, Jane Oliver, Ann Green, Millie Flournoy, Gretta Moll,
Flossie Williamson, Barbie Lawson, Jeanne Kline, Charity Bennett,
and Martha Ann Stegar went either last night or tonight. My turn
again. What did everyone bid? Well, I guess I'll bid three diamonds.
What do you say, Betty?"

Femmes Frolic at Fern's Farm

"I pass. Did you hear about the Emory KA 'Shipwreck Party' at
Fern's Farm last night ? I heard that some of the costumes, including
various ones between pirate rags and night shirts, were really a riot.
I guess we'll have to ask Martha Fortson, Barbie Lawson, Susan Han-
cock, Bet Linton, Charlotte Evans, Janet Sowell, Betty Moon, or
Louise Jett to find out the details. I bet it was fun, but I wouldn't
have missed seeing the play at the Penthouse Theatre saw Wilton
Rice and Mary Louise Mattison there, too. We ran around a little
while afterwards; saw Cissie Spiro at the Empire Room, and heard
from different sources that Ann Roark, Carol Solomon, Jinnie Brewer,
Katie Berdanis, Dot Ring, Bev Olson, Pris Sheppard, Mary Evans, Ann
Green, Joann and Sue Peteison, Margie Major, Mary Cline, and Joann
Christopher all had visitors. Where were we? Oh, yes Alice's bid."

"We might as well just stop trying to play until we finish the news,
but I'll make one vain stab at building up interest in the game. At least
I'll bid. Four spades. By the way, did you know Dottie Allison is
pinned to a Chi Phi at Emory?"

"Really? Looks as if Dr. Robinson's 'Marriage Average' is doing
all right around here, considering the number of pins and rings on
campus. I'll pass."

"Which reminds me Joe and Dee Durden Goodrich were on campus
this week-end. Pass."

"By me, too. Where has everyone gone tonight? There is certainly
no one here in the dorm. Lead, Mary."

Many 'Bid 7 for Roads That 'Lead 1 Home

"My lead ? All right. Well, just thousands of people went home or
out of town for the week-end. I know several: Elaine Blaine, Jane
Puckett, Margaretta Lumpkin and Mif Martin, Marcy O'^errall, Anne
Cope, Betty Cheney, Billie Bryan and Jean Junker, Sally Veale,
Theresa Dokos, Sylvia Moutos, Mattie Hart, Shirley Heath, Sara
Samonds, Betty Mobley, Betty Finney, Frances Ginn, Carol Edwards,
Frances Cook, Phyllis Fisher, Frankie Howerton, and Sue McSpadden,
Jane LaMaster, Joann Christopher, Barbara Stainton, and Virginia
Dunn."

"I'll order from Threadgill's, since I'm dummy. Cokes? You can tell
the others whom you saw going where when you came up from supper
tonight, Betty. Just don't let me miss anything."

"Order some cheese crackers, too. Let's see or should I say 'voy-
ons' in my best French ? Louise Ross, Betty Anne Green, and Roberta
Williams went to SAE house at Emory, Jackie Sue Messer went to
the Delt house, and Ann Gebhardt and Isabel Truslow went to the
Beta house at Tech. Play, Alice."

"I heard some freshmen talking at lunch today about Sunday dinner.
They said that Deche Armstrong, Ellen Hunter, Lilla Kate Parramore,
and Betty Anne Green are going to dinner at Mary Anne Garrard's
home. Isn't that nice? Goodness! It's 10:30, and we haven't even play-
ed one hand yet let's stop talking or playing one we can't do both."

"All right. We might as well stop playing now, because I have to,
take a quick bath. Don't say it hasn't been fun. See you next week,
if I can't help it. No slam on your company intended."

'Giselle/ 'Pas de Deux Reveal
Grace, Beauty of Ballet Russe

By Sara Jane Campbell

Last Friday night the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo brought
Atlanta two outstanding examples of the Ballet at its best.

In the performance of the second act of Gautier's "Giselle,"
perennially one of the most beautiful in ballet, Prima Baller-
ina Danilova, Frederick Franklin, and members of the Corps
presented to a delighted audience

all that goes to make the Ballet
one of the highest forms of art.
The decor was masterful and Al-
legri's scenery was a thing of
beauty in itself. Maitre de Bal-
let Franklin was particularly sat-
isfying as the poetic Count Al-
brecht.

Danilova is still queen of tech-
nique and grace. In her perfor-

Buttercup Tries Slaps, Charm
At First 'Pinafore' Rehearsal

By Nancy Wilkinson

"Slap him hard, he tried to kiss you, didn't he?" Little
Buttercup, alias Helen Edwards, caught on quickly and gave
Boatswain Sam Green a quick slap on the neck ("it hurts
less there," had explained Mr. Terry). "Come on now girls,
turn on the charm. Those boys have been on that old British
ship a long time; surely you can
do better than that, just watch
men, I'm not even a girl." Those
are some of the suggestions that
were thrown out to Agnes Scott
and Tech glee clubs at their first
operetta practice by that energet-
ic, versatile, bright blue-eyed Mr.
Terry.

"Come on now, Deadeye, re-
member you're supposed to be
three-cornered. Surely you 'can
give that appearance," was the
order given to Jim Byrd, Dead-
eye Dick.

It was hard indeed to "act" in
that first rehearsal. One could
only "react" to the action of
others. There was lightly trip-
ping to loudly stamping in accord-
ance with the lines that were sung
(the adjectives lightly and loudly
being confused occasionally).

"Don't walk so far; remember
that's the sea. Quick, grab the
gun, don't let Ralph kill himself,"
shouts Mr. Terry to Norah Anne
Little who looks on while her hero

By Charlotte Key

The sophomores gave the juniors their first defeat of the

21-16.

team played harder during the
second half, the sophomores kept
ahead. Again opponents tied for
the high-scoring honor as both
Winnie Strozier, soph, and Betty
Esco, junior, made nine points.
Others scoring for the sophs were
Helen Jean Robarts, six, Edith
Petrie, four, and Lillian Beall,
two. For the juniors, Betty Zieg-
ler contributed four points; and
Barbara Quattlebaum, three.

On the court in yellow were
frosh forwards Carol Jacob, Lau-

Athletic Program Offers
Opportunity to Practice Sports

By Marguerite Jackson

Several Agnes Scott students were taking a moment's rest
from studying. They began to discuss, among other things,
individual participation in athletics. One girl remarked
that she thought everyone should be proficient in at least
one sport.

BOTTLED UNDER AUTHORITY OF THE COCA-COLA COMPANY BY

THE ATLANTA COCA-COLA BOTTLING COMPANY

1949, The Coca-Colo Company

That statement started your
Sports editor wondering. How
many of us at Agnes Scott know
how to play and enjoy a team or
individual sport? Or how many
of us are afraid to try because we
are afraid we won't be good play-
ers?

You don't have to be an expert
before you learn to play a game.
Very few of the excellent players
in the world of sports today won
every event they entered. More
than likely they started out with
more failures than successes, but
they kept on until they learned.

The athletic program sponsor-
ed by the physical education de-
partment and Athletic association
offers you an almost unlimited op-
portunity to learn and practice

tennis, badminton, swimming, ar-
chery, or golf individually, or bas-
ketball, hockey, volleyball, or soft-
ball with a group. Also there's
bicycle riding or hiking which you
can practice any time the weath-
er's favorable or you have the
time.

Perhaps you would like to join
a group to go bowling, skating or
horseback riding. Whatever the
sport, we suggest that you develop
an active interest and become
"proficient."

Even if you don't win a single
game or you don't outswim, out-
skate, or outride ycur roommate,
you'll derive a lot of fun and en-
joyment from the fellowship with
your "playmates."

Marital Mixup Anchors Story
On Shipshape HMS Pinafore

By J. Todd McCain

Since Mr. Terry told us in chapel Wednesday that Gilbert
(or was it Sullivan?) did his best work when in excruciating
pain, I have John twisting my arm behind my back Gee
whiz, it works! Here goes!

Always an admirer of Gilbert and Sullivan, I was anxiously
no, eagerly looking forward to

there were men everywhere. Geor-
gia Tech men in lovely sailor suits
that looked just darling especial-
ly the blond one second from the
left (Ouch, John!). Anyway,
then poor Bill came out singing,
oh so sadly about his sweetheart,
the Captain's Daughter. And
guess what, she loved him, too, so
you see everything was good so
far.

But a Captain's Daughter could
never marry a Poor Sailor, be-
cause, you see, Sir Joseph, First
Lord of the Admiralty, wanted to
marry her, too. Bill and Norah
Anne decided to slip away and
elope and for a while it looked
like it was gonna be the old story
of marrying the boss' daughter;
until Dick Deadeye (men can't
ever keep anything secret! Ouch!)
told her old man and brought
things to a climax. When lo and
behold! it turned out that Bill was

even without those Japanese ki-

managed to keep up their past rec-
ords of super-colossal productions.
The thing that most of us had
been worried about was not hav-
ing the opportunity to watch Mr.
Terry busily in action, but since we
had been somewhat placated by
having his one and a half hour
lecture in a hal hour in chapel
Wednesday, we sat back and en-

good, too! That wonderful tenor,
Bill MacPherson (a friend of

Philosopher Vlastos Will Speak
On 'Community' February 28

Gregory Vlastos, professor of philosophy at Sage School of
Philosophy, Cornell University, will be on the Agnes Scott
campus February 28 as a visiting scholar of the University
Center. He will speak during a 10:15-11:10 chapel service on
the "Community Personal or Organic."

Mr. Vlastos will also lead a

round-table discussion from 4:45-
5:45 that afternoon for all inter-
ested faculty and students. He
will have the evening meal with
the students.

Mr. Vlastos, a native of Con-
st antmople, Turkey, and a Cana-
dian by naturalization, has been
very active in the work of the
Student Christian movements in
Canada and the United States..
He became a minister of the Con-
gregational church in this country
and later joined the United
Church of Canada.

English students at Agnes Scott
may feel a special "kinship" with
Mr. Vlastos; for he also was a
student of George P. Hayes, pro-
fessor of English, in a sophomore
English class at Robert College in
Constantinople. Mr. Hayes re-
members him as a small, quiet
young man who wrote well and
was unusually mature compared
with other students.

Monday and Wednesday, Febru-
ary 27 and 29, Mr. Vlastos will
speak at Emory university. His
theme for the lectures at the va-
rious institutions of the University
Center between February 27 and
March 4 will be "The Individual
and The Community."

Among the speaker's many pub-
lications are "Christian Faith and
Democracy," a book of the Hazan
series, and "Towards the Christian
Revolution," of which he was the
co-author. He has also published
many works in the field of Greek

Duty Calls- 1950 Style

"The time has come, the walrus said," to start thinking of
next year's leaders. Nominations will take place on Thurs-
day, the day after we come back from spring holidays, and
elections will start on the following Monday. That's not too
far away!

Although it is every girl's duty to vote, the duty we are
concerned with right now is the duty a girl owes herself and
the school to be willing to serve in her elected capacity.

She owes herself the triumphant feeling of having tried
and accomplished a job. She owes herself the opportunity of
working with other girls for a common aim. Service Fel-
lowship.

The girls who do not back away from the challenge of a
campus job this spring will also be paying the debt that is
owed the school, by doing their part toward the best manage-
ment and prosperity of Agnes Scott.

The call of duty is strong! D. B.

Breaking the 'Bridge of Offices'?

Something new has been added in the form of something
old revised. This year, instead of publishing a "Here's Who's
Got What It Takes" with the names only of the girls who hap-
pen to have been elected to offices in the past, or who have
been able to participate in an activity at Agnes Scott, the
News will present to the campus a combined, alphabetical list
of those who have served in organizations and those who are
interested in various types of work.

This plan is designed to offer to those nominating, the
names also of girls who, for various reasons, may not be of-
ficers, but who have real interests in organizations and a de-
sire to serve.

A list will be on the bulletin board in the mail room today
for students to sign according to general fields of interest
rather than for specific jobs.

The News staff hopes the new method will alter the ten-
dency toward establishing a "bridge of offices" a tendency
not necessarily bad, but of doubtful value as a "tradi-
tion." C. K.

Col. Scott Perpetuates Visions
In Christian Faith, Human Duty

By Helen Edwards

Visions may be idle day dreams wishes for the future or
vain remembrances of the past. Some visions, however, have
a way of perpetuating themselves.

When Agnes Irvine, as a girl of 17, left Ballykeel, Ireland,
to come to America, she brought with her remembered vi-
sions of the sun rising on the

Mountains of Morne, of the drow-
sy stillness of Carlingford bay, of
the gentle people from whom she
had tearfully departed. Little did
she realize then that her son,
George Washington Scott, would
have a vision, too, and perpetu-
ate it in her name.

And it was a vision, too a vi-
sion guided by faith that sent
Colonel Scott into Dr. Gaines' of-
fice to give him $40,000 for the
erection of Main hall. He saw for
the future a Christian woman's
college Agnes Scott Institute,
Agnes Irvine Scott.

It was not that Mrs. Scott was
a famous person. Her sons have
termed her life as being "an un-
eventful and everyday life," and
that, they say, is why they named
the school in her honor. Hers was
"one of the everyday lives that
through the homes of this country
give it the strongest hope it has
of prosperity, honor and stability."

What was it in this everyday
life that made it the influence
that established this college? Was
it perhaps the remembered beau-
ties of the early sun's pink reflec-
tions on the Mountains of Morne?
Or perhaps a return of the quiet-
ness of Carlingford Bay. Or per-
haps a simple faith that visioned
the future and a Christian life
that caused the founders of the
school to say, in the dedication

announcement, "Next to the home
we consider the school the most
important factor in the formation
of character and in determining
human duty."

Slings and Arrows

By Helen Edwards

"These are the times that try
men's souls. The summer soldier
and the sunshine patriot will, in
this crisis, shrink from the service
of his country." When Thomas
Paine wrote this to peak Revolu-
tionary sentiments, little did he
realize the vast meaning it would
have for agonized Agnes Scott stu-
dents in the middle of February,
1950.

We can all appropriate quota-
tions to fit our own needs, as did
the woman who read the quotation
from the first page of a calendar,
"Every day, in every \tfay grow
better and better and may the
New Year find you a better man."
She turned to her companion and
said, "I have found one, and I
think I'm going to marry him,
too."

And take these words of Thom-
as Paine, for instance. These
certainly are the times that try
men's souls. Women's, too. Those
tinseled memories of the Christ-
mas holidays are fading quickly
and exams are stalking their prey,
creeping stealthily from the hori-
zon. The summer soldier has giv-
en up all hope of ever finding his
element, and the sunshine patri-
ot will certainly shrink, not so
much from service as from the
over-abundance of dampness in
the atmosphere. This is, indeed, a
crisis. The problem now is: to be,
to make a "B," or to make a bee-
line for home.

What is the solution? More
sleep? More study? Madam chair-
man, I move that we have more
weather to dry men's and wo-
men's souls.

Shall we vote?

Dancers Finish Preparations
For Performance February 21

By Mary Ann Jaynes

In less than a week from now on February 21, Agnes Scott
students and their friends will have the opportunity of seeing
the Dance group's original ballet, "The Rape of the Lock."
The adaptation from Alexander Pope was done by Celia
Spiro.

Final plans are in the making
for what promises to be the best
of the ballets performed by the
Agnes Scott Dance group. Since
the students did most of the chor-
eography and pantomine them-
selves, the dance movements seem
to come from within the students.
This quality will add to the spon-
taniety of the performance.

The Dance group has operated
as a democratic group throughout
the production. Each girl has
been allowed to express opinions
and give suggestions. The guid-
ance and directions of the faculty
and outside friends have aided the
group.

Blackfriars has provided sever-
al girls to help with production.
Gretta Moll will act as stage man-
ager and Ann Griggs will be in
charge of lighting. A dancer in
the group, Barbara Brown, will
handle the properties and scenery.
Marijean Alexander, also a dancer,
will be in charge of makeup. An-
other dancer, Margaret Hopkins,
will be house manager.

Special mention is due Dianne
Morris who will dance the power-
ful role of the Queen of Spleen.
Dianne is only a freshman and has
been a dancer with the Atlanta

Civic Ballet.

The Agnes Scott Dance group's
first year was in 1945-46. That
year they put on three short bal-
lets. Since then, they have done
"Les Sylphides," "Giselle," "Swan
Lake," and "Coppelia."

By Joann Peterson

PEACE was the subject of
Catherine Crowe's talk in chapel
Tuesday. Her discussion was di-
vided into two main units; how
we may achieve peace within our-
selves, and second, the nature of
the peace we may achieve.

Catherine began her talk with
the suggestion that "In order to
achieve inner peace we must be
at peace with ourselves. The only
way to have a clear conscience,
which alone gives inner peace is to
ask God for forgiveness."

The next step is to ask God for
guidance. In our youthful zeal
and ambition, we must remember
that ambition, to be worthwhile,
must be "tempered by careful
thought." To achieve inner peace
"we must put our hand in the
hand of God and ask him to tem-
per our spirits, to give us guid-
ance."

In order to achieve inner peace
we must "have faith; life is not
always easy, but whatever storms
that may come, "we can find per-
fect peace."

The fourth step is to "tell God
of our troubles." Catherine sug-
gests that whenever we feel
swamped with work or worries
that we must remember "to ap-
proach the problem with faith in
God and confidence that life is
good."

'Hero Worship'
For Alumnae

Highlighting the meeting of the
Junior Alumnae club of Atlanta in
the Rebekah Scott lobby last night
was the Blackfriars' presentation
of the play, "Hero Worship."

The play was written by Fran-
ces Hargis, now Mrs. Joe McCrory,
when she was a junior at Agnes
Scott. It won the Samuel French
award for one-act plays in 1928.

The cast included Emily Pope,
Jane Cook, Bob Powell, and Bill
Davis.

Students and faculty members,
as well as the club members, were
invited to the performance.

Hearts and Cupids Usher In
Valentine for Agnes Scotters

By SYLVIA WILLIAMS

Alumnae on campus this week-end glimpsed today's Hottentots
whirling about in the excitement of a pre-Valentine week-end brim-
ming over with extra-special house dances, extra-special visitors, and
formals galore!

The Emory SAE's bowed in the fraternity year Friday night with
that lovely formal we heard so much about Saturday morning. Peach-
tree Gardens furnished the perfect setting for the ball and for the
appearance on the scene of Agnes Scott belles Dottie Allison, Margaret
Glenn, Roberta Williams, Edgerley Clark, Lola Purcell, Jane Crayton,
Virginia Claire Hayes, Betty Ann Green, Deche Armstrong, Carlene
Nichel, Margaret McCrae, Janet Sowell, Margie Orr, and Virginia
Dunn.

And there was another formal this week-end! PiKA's from Emory
escorted Joan Jordan, Kitty Currie and Ruth Whiting to their big for-
mal held in grand style at the Biltmore.

Lacy Cinderellas Trim Emory's Valentine

And yet there was another! Saturday night's colorful I. F. C. Cin-
derella Ball at Emory was re'ally the lace on the week-end valentine.
Miss Agnes's children were there in full force and looking their pret-
tiest, tripping the light fantastic to the strains of that popular Auburn
orchestra. The highlight of the evening was the presentation of the
attractive Cinderella and her court. Some Agnes Scott Cinderellas
were Joan White, Roberta Williams, Emy Evans, Betsy Hodges, Mary
Young, Charlotte Bartlett, Libby Shontz, Cissie Spiro, Jean Edwards,
Joann Peterson, Margie Orr, Margaret Glenn, Mary Ripley, Joann
Wood, Shirley Heath, June Carpenter, Ruth Gaines, Bett Linton, Ruth
Whiting, Virginia Claire Hays, Jane Crayton, and Ruth Goodmunson.
Afterwards, the Chi Phi's entertained dates Nancy deArmond, Betty
Jane Sharpe, Dottie Allison, Tibby King, Helen Land, and Carol Solo-
mon at a house breakfast. By the way, Cupid was on his toes Friday
night when Rudolph pinned Carol with that gorgeous Chi phi pin.

Hearts and flowers everywhere and to those extra-special valen-
tine house dances went Aggie Hottentot. Friday night, the Tech Sigma
Chi's had Betty Williams, Shirley Ford, Jane Hill, and Catherine Redles
over to dance to the music of a "combo," and for that extra touch, re-
freshments were heartshaped cakes, candies, and ice cream in red
and white.

Another Tech house dance was that of the SAE's Friday night, and
again we were well-represented. "Agnes" belles who went were
Beryl Crews, Jane Puckett, Mif Martin, Ditty Sells, and Margaretta
Lumpkin.

Homecoming Week-end for Students and Alumnae

Seems there was another fine party at the Decatur Presbyterian
church Saturday night in honor of old St. Valentine, and lots of us
went Decatur-way. Virginia Miller says there was fun to be had at
the Marietta Officer's club Friday night, too!

Saturday night, those of us who weren't at the I. F. C. were scattered
hither and yon. Beryl Crews and Adele Lee took in the symphony;
Ann Haden, Betty Holland, and Mary Jane Newland had a gay time
attending the Druid Hills Presbyterian church's square dance at North
Fulton park.

And how we did go home for the week-end! Anne Griggs, Stellise
Robey, Ann Boyer, Norma Waldrep, Taffy Merrill, Pat Williams,
Katherine Gentry, Gwen Johnson, and Helen Huie were homeward
bound, and Margie Major carried Ann Gebhardt and Jessie Carpenter
home with her. Ann Parker also went for a visit to LaGrange with
roommate Ann Herman. But home wasn't the only destination! Cor-
nelia Dickerson went to see Vaughn in Greensboro, and the University
of Virginia held a big week-end in store for Wilton Rice.

In addition to the alumnae there were lots of other visitors on cam-
pus. Virginia Claire Hays had a visitor from Shorter, a lieutenant
from Benning came to see Janet Sowell, and Warlick had a visitor
from the Duke Med School. Others who had visitors were Louise Ross,
Genie Paschal, Barbie Lawson, Jane Oliver, Jackie Sue Messer, Emily
Ann Reid, Vippi Patterson, and Isabel Truslow.

The two games Friday, Feb. 17,

The varsity, subvarsity teams,
which will be announced within
the next week, will shoot it out
the following Friday, Feb. 24, at

In this week's pairings, the sen-

the juniors will battle the fresh-

The sophomores are second with
two wins, two losses and one tie.
The freshmen are right behind
with two wins and three losses.
The seniors are occupying the
cellar with one win, three losses
and one tie.

bara Quattlebaum led the victo-
rious juniors with 13 tallies.

On the losing teams Carol Lou
Jacob contributed 13 to the fresh-
man score. Ann Griggs headed
the seniors with four.

Alline Marshall received a
twisted knee during the second
quarter of the senior- junior tilt
and had to be carried off the court.

In the older classes' game the
juniors outplayed the seniors from
the very beginning. The former
led 22 to 3 at halftime. During
the fourth quarter the class of '50
sparked a brief but futil rally.

A touch of humor was added to
the game when guard (playing
forward) Barbie Lawson shot her
first goal of the game. Ann

Fundamentals
Teach Frosh
Grace, Agility

By Clairelis Eaton

If the class of '53 hasn't a grace-
ful, easy way of moving when
spring quarter rolls 'round, it
won't be Miss Helena Williams'
fault. According to her, the main
objectives of the freshman "ob-
stacle course" (course in funda-
mentals, technically) are coordin-
ation, flexibility and agility. That
is the reason she makes students
or is it athletes who are tak-
ing the lessons walk to music one
minute and stand on their hands
the next.

If someone saw the freshmen
jump rope "a mile a minute," he'd
think they were training for a
woman's boxing championship, but
really they're only practicing one
of the methods of movement
which are designed to give poise.

Miss Williams said, "Most of the
girls had good training as far as
agility goes, but there are still a
few who can't do things like
standing on their heads." The way
she looked when saying this, how-
ever, seemed to prove that she
hasn't given up hope there are
still three weeks in the quarter
to work in.

So if you're one of the "weaker"
souls who gets sore muscles in the
legs, arms, or tummy, don't worry.
'Member, when the course is fin-
ished you might be BEAUTIFUL.

Atlanta Sport Council Elects
Miss Wiiburn to Committee

By Marguerite Jackson

Miss Llewellyn Wiiburn of the physical education depart-
ment is a member of the entertainment committee of the re-
cently formed Atlanta Sport Council.

Organized to further interest in sports in the Atlanta area,
this group has on its roster several other outstanding men and

women in the athletic field. Thad
Horton, sports editor for WSB
and WSB-TV is chairman of the
council.

Their big activity at the mo-
ment is the promotion of a girls'
golf tournament program.
Hal Sargeant of East Lake coun-
try club, who helps teach the Ag-
nes Scott golf classes in the spring,
is in charge. Under his direction
the PGA will hold golf clinics, in
the high schools of greater At-
lanta.

As part of this program the
Sport Council will sponsor an ex-
hibition match at Brookhaven
country club in late February or
early March. Guest star perform-
er will be Marlene Bauer, the 15-
year old queen of the golf world,
from Los Angeles. All Agnes

Scott students who are interested
in watching this exhibition should
see Miss Wiiburn.

After Miss Bauer's play in At-
lanta, the council will sponsor the
tournament for high school girls.
The dates and places of these
matches will be announced later.

The Atlanta Sport group has
started a sports calendar. Before
an athletic event is scheduled for
Atlanta, its manager can consult
the ASC chart to see if any other
activity has been planned. The
council hopes with this calendar
to avoid a conflict in big sporting
occasions.

When an event is planned which
will bring athletes to Atlanta from
out of the city, Miss Wiiburn and
her committee will arrange their
entertainment.

Ask for it cither way . . . both
trade-marks mean the same thing.

The Georgia Tech College Inn in Atlanta, Georgia,
is a favorite haunt of the Georgia Tech students.
That's because the Georgia Tech College Inn is a
friendly place, always full of the busy atmosphere
of college life. There is always plenty of ice-cold
Coca-Cola, too. For here, as in university gather-
ing spots everywhere Coke belongs.

F. S. U. Wins Highest Honors
At Southern Debate Tourney

By Charlotte Key

Florida State University walked away with top honors at
the debate tournament last week-end when debaters from 22
schools in most of the southern states "argued" their way on
campus. The negative team for the school from the "vacation
state" won the cup, while F. S. U.'s affirmative team came in
first on its side of the question.

Second places went to the Uni-
versity of Florida's negative and
the University of North Carolina's
affirmative. The Citadel's "yes"
won third as did an opposition
force from Wake Forest. The
Davidson college affirmative re-
ceived honorable mention.

Southern Intercollegiate Debate

Faculty Discusses
Home Department

Agnes Scott faculty and alum-
nae are discussing the possibility
of establishing a Department of
the Home as a part of the college
curriculum, President J. R. Mc-
Cain announced recently. This
course, however, will not be added
for at least a year, Dr. McCain
said, because of the lack of funds
and previous projects begun which
must be completed.

The group discussing the values
of the department are trying to de-
termine what amount of credit
should be offered for the course
and what topics should be includ-
ed in it. According to Dr. McCain,
a number of letters have been re-
ceived from interested alumnae
and people in the field of education
revealing their opinions concern-
ing the merits of the course. Sug-
gestions and criticisms are wel-
comed by the administration.

Robert Frost to Talk in Chapel
In 8th Visit to College Campus

By Marie Woods

When Robert Frost, whom critics have recognized as among
the greatest of contemporary American poets, talks to the
student body in chapel next Wednesday, he will speak not
only as a poet and a lecturer, but also as an old friend of the
college. For this will be Mr. Frost's eighth visit to Agnes
Scott under the sponsorship of the
Public Lecture association.

The series of visits began in
November, 1935, when, to quote
"The Agonistic" of that year, "Af-
ter trying in vain for ten years to
have Mr. Frost appear, the Pulit-
zer prize winner accepted the invi-
tation extended him last year by
the college Lecture association.

Th poet did not appear here
again until 1940, when he lectured
in May, after canceling his orig-
inal engagement in February be-
cause of illness. He spoke again
in 1945 and has returned every
year since, stopping on his trip to
or from his Florida home, al-
though he no longer makes reg-
ular lecture tours. This year he
will be on campus as a guest

By Dorothy Bond

Noel Barnes of Atlanta will lead the 1950-51 Hoasc chapter
of Mortar Board, following an impressive candlelight tapping
ceremony Monday night. Noel was chosen president by the
1949-50 chapter chiefly because of her ability to make con-
tacts between faculty and students, as well as for the Mortar
Board qualifications of scholar-
ship, leadership, and service.

^ Christmas day, 1929, is appro-
priately Noel's birth date, and af-
ter having been reared in New
Orleans, La., she came to Atlanta

No Book, No Honor

Or Assignment: three chapters no book.

" . . . , I put away childish things." And

what would we say if anyone dared

insinuate we had not put away

childish habits,

childish ways of thinking

of thinking only of the almighty I?

And yet in the building on campus, which,

in its purpose,

in its contents,

most bears evidence of our maturity, we have been
guilty

of some of our

most childish selfishness and

flagrant violations of the honor system.

Books in the library are for all students,

not

for a few "privileged characters. "

Yet certain "characters" have bestowed upon themselves
the "privilege" of taking out books illegally.
It may be

"inconvenient" for one

to go to the library to read an assignment, but it can be

near tragedy for many

if they must go to class unprepared

unprepared because that

one,

in a selfish tantrum,

trampled her honor underfoot. C. K.

Fender Fashions and a Parking Place

Accordion pleats are good this spring. But not in your fen-
ders. And with brick trucks, cement mixers, and Big Bertha,
the crane, running up and down with supplies for the new din-
ing hall, all cars parked in the general construction area are in
real danger of pleating supplied every hour on the hour.

But seriously enough, cars parked also in the delivery area
near the dining hall in Rebekah are not only in danger them-
selves but also cause a serious problem for produce and gro-
cery trucks which need clear areas for quick deliveries of
materials and food.

Also, congested areas create a traffic problem that incon-
veniences all drivers on campus. And with this in mind, the
spaces on the drive in front of Main have been reserved for
parking during class hours.

Although it means a little longer walk over to Buttrick,
parking in the reserved area also means better traffic condi-
tionsand fewer rush paint jobs for folded fenders. M. W.

Slings and Arrows

By HELEN EDWARDS

The nicest thought bouncing on
my imagination at the moment is
a mental picture of myself in the
heart of Africa, where green
things flourish. You see, I have
been nursing one scrawny little
plant for three weeks now, and
instead of growing healthier it
gets punier and punier.

Right now I think it looks as
if it needs a shot of penicillin,
but my roommate says no it al-
ready looks too shot, she says.
And one friend, who's studying
botany , would be of especial help,
I supposed, since she kept green
things growing all over the dormi-
tory. (In fact, one day I told her
I thought she must have misunder-
stood Miss Mac that she was sup-
posed to grow her experiments in
the laboratory, not the lava-
tory.) Anyway, I thought she
could help, but the little debil-
itated specimen turned out to be
such an interesting case that she
is still trying to analyze the symp-
toms especially the red spots.

As a last resort I borrowed a
healthy looking plant (from :a
friend and put it next to my pa-
tient in hopes that a good exam-
ple would weedle it into perking
up, but instead I lost the other
plant and friend in the process
because the green one looked at
its decrepit neighbor and wilted.

After finding sunshine for the
enfeebled one, bringing up vita-
min-filled dirt, keeping the heat
turned off, and propping the stems
up with tooth-picks, I'm about to
give it up as a hopeless cause.
Maybe it would just be easier to
wash the curtains and look at the
greenery outside.

But wait. There's one thing I
haven't tried. Do plants use
water ?

Mortar Board Prexy

(Continued from page 1)

sociation's annual meeting held at
the University of Illinois. During
her first two years here she served
as freshman and sophomore rep-
resentative to the executive com-
mittee.

The intellectual side of Noel's
personality is brought out by the
fact that she was one of the win-
ners of the Agnes Scott scholar-
ships following her senior year in
preparatory school.

This has been a big year in the
life of Mortar Board's new presi-
dent, for after making her debut
in New Orleans at the Harlequins
Ball and taking part in the court
of the Twelfth Night Ball, the
Court of the Mystic, and the At-
lantians' Ball, she climaxed Mar-
di Gras festivities by appearing in
Comus' court.

This is the third year in which
the president of Mortar Board has
been announced before elections
take place, thereby establishing
the tradition of the candlelight
tapping ceremony.

goodbys at the banquet Saturday

Art Forum's 'Coraddi' Accepts
Soph Jane Hart s 'The Game

By Ginnie Feddeman

The first story ever accepted from an Agnes Scott student

by the Arts Forum of the Woman's College, University of

North Carolina, and published in their literary magazine was

written by Jane Hart. Jane, a former member of Folio, is a

sophomore and a member of B. O. Z.
Her story is a short one entitled

"The Game," and is about a Geor-
gia farm family of nine children
who meet an Atlanta family. The
feeling of inferiority w r hich this
family senses is expressed through
the character of the mother as she
sees it. An additional contrary
element is presented in the hard
struggle that they have raising
their /cotton. "The Game" is
marked by its simplicity and plain-
ness.

The story is to be published in
the spring issue of the "Coraddi,"
magazine of the Woman's College,
University of North Carolina. The
Arts Forum which holds open
meetings at the University of mus-
ic, art, drama, and literary ac-
complishments, takes over the
spring issue of the "Coraddi" for
the publication of fiction and po-
etry which it has accepted
throughout the year. Students
from all over the country submit

works to be judged by the Arts
Forum. This year it received over
200 manuscripts.

The fiction meeting of the Arts
Forum will be held on March 11.
The critics present at this meeting,
Peter Taylor and Lionel Trilling,
will discuss the works published
in this spring edition of the
"Coraddi." The audience will have
a chance to make comments and
to ask questions concerning these
works.

The student authors are granted
the opportunity to have personal
interviews with the critics and to
discuss their particular story in
detail. Jane and Miss Margaret
Trotter, assistant professor of
English, may go to the University
for this meeting and interview.

Nancy Parks, class of 1949, was
granted an interview with the
critics last year although they did
not publish any of her work.

History Department to Present
Dr. Oron J. Hale on March 28

By Sally Veale

"Hitler and 'the Stalingrad Disaster" will be the subject of
a lecture by Dr. Oron James Hale on March 28th, as announc-
ed by Dr. Walter B. Posey, professor of history and political
science. Dr. Hale, a PhD from the University of Pennsyl-
vania, is professor of European history at the University of
Virginia.

Dr. Hale's visit is being spon-
sored by the University Center of
Agnes Scott, Emory, and Georgia
Tech. On the 27th he will speak
at Emory; his schedule on this
campus includes speaking to
morning classes on the 28th, and
then his main lecture (title of
which was announced above) at
8 p. m.

Dr. Hale is the author of "Ger-
many and the Diplomatic Revolu-
tion," and "Publicity and Diplo-
macy." He is widely known in in-
tellectual circles for his lecturing.

Campus Slips

C. Key: And next week I'll have

Unidentified people: What?

M. Woods. Never mind Char-
lotte; she's always "harping" on

And a real campus "slip" came
last week when Barbara Caldwell

hall steps.

Experience Speaks

Within a few weeks the campus will select its new leaders
who will assume the responsibility of analyzing student opin-
ion and of molding future policies. That the qualifications of
each office and of each girl nominated should be studied
carefully goes without saying.

We would like to urge that every student consider thought-
fully the nominations which the senior committee has pre-
pared, and which will be posted along with popular nomin-
ations. This group has attempted to guide the campus by
placing girls where they may serve most efficiently. Each
student's interests and abilities have been considered care-
fully in the light of the office to be filled.

The suggestions submitted by this committee should be val-
ued, for each representative has had experience in the various
offices and is able to recognize the needs of the campus and
potential leadership as a whole. A. M.

Traditional Reminder

It is almost a tradition for the News to feature an editorial
on voter rights and responsibilities in the last issue before
elections. And this tradition has a purpose that of re-
minding the campus every year of one of our heritages.

Nominations will be held the day after we get back from
spring holidays, March 23, with elections beginning the
following Monday, March 27. From now until the last office
has been filled, we should be thinking seriously of each girl's
interests and qualifications.

We hope that the student body will remember that there is
a lot of undeveloped talent at Agnes Scott. There are a great
many girls who could do a job most capably if they should be
given the chance.

Some thought now can save the situation for next year. D. B.

Tickets for Met Presentations
Will Go on Sale Next Tuesday

Agnes Scotters will have the "jump" on the general public
when tickets for the spring Metropolitan Opera company pro-
ductions in Atlanta will be sold to students and faculty Tues-
day, March 7. The operas will be Monday, Tuesday, and Wed-
nesday, April 24, 25, and 26.

'53 Club To Give Party
Finishes Quarter's Work

The last meeting of the quarter
for '53 club will be an informal
party March 2 at the home of
Miss Carrie Scandrett, dean of
students. Edith Sewell is in
charge* of arranging the program
and entertainment.

First on the operatic agenda
will be Puccini's tragedy, "Tosca,"
to be presented Monday night.
Other favorites among this mod-
ern Italian writer's works are
"Madame Butterfly" and "La Bo-
heme." Next, for Tuesday night's
offering, will be one of Wagner's
earlier operas, "Lohengrin," the
work from which comes the well-
known wedding march. This work
is more tuneful than many of the
composer's later works.

The Wednesday matinee will be
one of the world's most popular
operas, Gounod's "Faust." The
closing opera of the series will be
"Rigoletto" by Verdi. The music
in this, one of his later works,
is better than that in some of the
earlier ones.

Mr. Lewis H. Johnson, associate
professor of music, will take or-
ders for tickets in Buttrick lobby
a week from Tuesday from 2-4
p. m. Students and facuty must
pay for the tickets when they order
them. Tickets will be available
for some of the best seats in al-
most every section. Only season
tickets may be purchased at this
time.

S. Guerry Stukes
Speaks at Meeting
Of Canterbury Club

The Agnes Scott and Emory
Canterbury clubs held a joint
meeting Sunday night at the home
of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Tisdale.
Following supper, S. Guerry
Stukes, registrar and professor of
psychology at Agnes Scott, was
the speaker.

This was the last Sunday night
meeting of the group for this quar-
ter. Their next "program" meet-
ing will be held March 26.

Holy Communion was cele-
brated Wednesday morning for the
Agnes Scott group at 7:30 a. m.
in the McKinney room.

Thursday, March 9, all college
students are invited to a special
meeting at Holy Trinity church.
Father Turkington, a monk from
Tennessee, will talk to the group
at 5 p. m. There will be supper
following this meeting, and after
that the regular church service
will be held at 7 p. m.

Juniors Plan
Shaw Drama

The juniors in Blackfriars, under
the direction of Sally Jackson, will
present their one-act play Thurs-
day night at 7:30 p. m. in Gaines
auditorium. The play is a comic
work of George Bernard Shaw's
called "The Dark Lady of the Son-
nets."

Ken Brown of Drama Tech will
play the impudent Will Shake-
speare, and Barbara Futral will
appear as the haughty but sur-
prised Queen Elizabeth.

The Dark Lady will be Jackie
Sue Messer. Beefeater will be
Jack Camp of the Emory Players.

There will be a small admission
fee.

Engineers Seek ASC Beauty
As Possible Queen of Tech Ball

Georgia Tech is asking us again to eliminate "all those
gorgeous gals at Agnes Scott but one" as our nomination for
the queen of the Engineer's Week Ball. The Engineer's Week
is climaxed by the ball which takes place Saturday night,
April 29. A queen and her court, who are crowned that night,

will be composed of representa-
tives from the nine women's and
co-ed colleges in the state of
Georgia and four girls selected by
the Tech student body.

It is hoped by the Dance com-
mittee at Georgia Tech that Vice-
President Barkley will select the
queen. If they are unable to ob-
tain the "Veep," they have hopes
of obtaining a nationally known
personality to judge the pictures.

Last year Beryl Crews was se-
lected by Ed Dodd, creator of the
comic strip, "Mark Trail," and was
crowned queen.

As a result of a student body
vote, the Agnes Scott queen will
be selected from either the junior
or senior May courts. Senior mem-
bers of the court are Beryl Crews,
Cama Clarkson, Helen Edwards,
Lyd Gardner, and Norah Anne

Robert Frost

(Continued from page 1)

March 7 and 8.

His visits have been remember-
ed not only for the lectures, but
also for informal meetings and
talks as "resident poet." His lec-
tures themselves have been char-
acterized by the humor and under-
standing of life as well as litera-
ture which is inherent in his po-
etry. The reading of the poetry
has also been a traditional high-
light of the lectures.

Because of the close connection
with the school, many members of
the campus community have come
to think of him as "Agnes Scott's
Own Poet." Besides an unusually
fine collection of autographed edi-
tions of Mr. Frosf s works, estab-
lished by Miss Emma May Laney,
associate professor of English and
faculty advisor of the Lecture as-
sociation, the library possesses
more than 90 volumes of reference
and criticism of his work. Miss
Laney has also received many of
his personalized Christmas card
poems.

Campus Slips

Brains became the chief topic
of interest in the biology technique
lab last week when the project
was an experiment which involved
placing chicken brains in various
alcohol solutions. Even so, it
came as a surprise when Marie
Heng got up to inquire whether or
not Anne Green had changed her
brains lately.

And of course there was the
case of the Freshman Bible club
party for the Methodist children's
home. It seems that after the re-
freshments and games were ready
and the decorations were in place,
it seemed logical to postpone the
party when someone discovered
that the guests hadn't been invited.

Little. The juniors are Marg
Hunt, Sally Jackson, Joan White,
and Betty Ziegler. The floor will
be open for other nominations in
chapel Thursday.

Dr. Aggie Prescribes 'Party
For Cure of Pre-Exam Blues

By DOTTIE ALLISON, Guest Editor

Do you have that worried feeling? Is your vision blurred? Is
your brain in a muddle? Do you find it difficult to sleep at night? If
so, you are suffering from those "pre-exam blues." Take heart, my
frustrated intellectuals, there is a cure! Just read below and see what
some of your fellow-sufferers prescribe.

Just What the Doctor Ordered

Formals, formals, formals what a lovely escape from ye olde books.
The Phi Chis at Emory entertained Jane Oliver, Annelle Simpson,
Marg Hunt, Anne Kincaid, Betty Averill, Joann Peterson, Louise
Hertwig, and Susan Page at their big formal at the Piedmont Driving
club Friday night. The Tech S. A. E.'s were not to be outdone. They
swept many of our Hottentots into Joe Veale's for their dance.
Margaret Glenn, Jane Puckett, Margaretta Lumpkin, Mif Martin,
Claire Foster, Norah Anne Little, Sally Jackson, Anne Warren, Helen
Land, Pat Cortelyou, Didie Sells, Adaline Miller, Louise Ross, Jane
Hambrick, Anne Jones, and Charlotte Evans were seen there having
a wonderful time.

Peaches at Peachtree Gardens

Peachtree Gardens was the scene of the gala event sponsored by the
Sigma Nus at Emory which attracted Chris Allen, Adelaide Ryall,
and Carol Solomon. The Tech Lambda Chi Alpha chapter entertained
dates Mary Stubbs, Betty Jane Crovvther, Nancy Cassin, Winnie Hor-
tdn, and Marianela Segura at their formal at the Biltmore.

Fern's Farm for Fun and Frolic was the place the Emory Phi Delts
entertained Friday night, and fun it was! Just ask Anne Cope, Emy
Evans, Joann Wood, and Mary Lindsey.

Skull 'n Bones 'n Pirates

Did you see all the pirates headed for the Emory A. T. O. House?
Betty Jane Sharpe, Ann Herman, Ruth Vineyard, Nancy DeArmond,
Dot Duckworth, Julie Clark, and Jeanne Junker went. Although they
didn't return with a treasure chest, they did bring memories of a
lovely evening.

Adele Lee told me all about the Ice Follies. From her description
it must have been marvelous. She saw Ellie McCarty, Joan White,
Beryl Crews, Jane Oliver, and Donna Limbert there, too.

Here and There We're Everywhere

Anne Goodwyn has a beautiful engagement ring from George . . .
Pins are a recent addition to Susan Gauger and Annelle Simpson . . .
Jane Oliver's family visited her and Ann Green's mother is here . . .
Anne Griggs went home this week-end . . . Sara Samonds had her
Powell, of Auburn, for a visit . . . Anna DeVault went to the Sigma
Pi formal at Emory . . . Joan White attended the Emory Sigma Chi
dance Saturday night . . . Margaret Evans, Joan White, and Adele Lee
were present at the play given by the Emory Players . . . Tiff Hayes,

instructor in physical education,
will teach the instructor's course

ginners' class will be scheduled.

Miss Wilburn will teach recre-
ational leadership which she
strongly advises for anyone inter-
ested in camp work and church
or playground recreation.

Although participation in May
Day counts for spring quarter
"gym," students do not have to
register for it next week.

In a hard and hard-knock-filled game Saturday, the junior-

2 O THE AGNES SCOTT NEWS Wednesday, March 29, 1950

To Bugs and Biscuits

The time has come, the calendar says, to put away campus
jobs. This is it . . . the last issue of the News under Marshall
and Bond. Our ideas are all used up, our worries are all
over (?), and at Tast our eyes can close on months of weary
working. Life must go on, arid new people must take the
place of the old. It happens every year.

It's hard to be serious at a time like this, but tfcere is a lit-
tle gnawing prick that tells us that we've had our chance,
that it's too late now to think of what we might have done.
But looking back, it has been a lot of fun. We've learned a
little about journalism since this time last year, a lot about
people, and we're surely a year older.

And what are we going to do with all this spare time we're
going to have now? Alline is going to try to do a little more
sleeping, and now that it's spring, she can play with her plants
and bugs to her heart's content.

Me? I think it's about time I learned to cook! D. B.

And Woman's Place ....

Besides the inevitable changes which come with spring, the
administration is considering an addition to the curriculum
which, we believe, will prove to be a great asset. Various
faculty members and interested students have been working
on the possibility of developing a Home Department which
they feel will meet a need on campus. The college recognizes
that preparation in this field has been inadequate and wishes
to remedy the situation.

No definite plans have been made as to the subject matter
to be studied in this new department, but topics relating to
the various aspects of home life will be emphasized. Pos-
sible topics which have been considered include human phys-
iology, child training, home management, dietetics, and re-
ligious life. %l

We believe that this new department will.be a worthy addi-
tion to the curriculum and will prove to be extremely valu-
able in the preparation for future home life. We appreciate
the act that we have a farsighted administration which, upon
recognizing a need, will act to meet that need. A. M.

Third-Mainer Sees
The Cars Roll By 7

By Cissie Spiro

There is nothing that I could
use more than a brand new car!
I could even be convinced to set-
tle for a used car in fact I would
settle for a motor with a seat.
Does anyone have a spare spark-
plug?

My window is on the front of
Main building, and I can see all
types of conveyances come in to
pick the girls up. (Ed. note: This
does not refer to the calibre of
dates, just to their automobiles.)

I didn't really think too much
about one little car the first time
that I saw it parked in front of
school, but now I want to know if
the owner of a yellow Model A.
Ford is now living on the campus.

Last Sunday I saw eight girls
load into a two door Chevrolet.
The doors bulged, the floor sag-
ged, and the girls giggled. The
sun was really beautiful when
they all started out, and the new
season was in the air; I bet even
that car was SPRINGY.

We have an odd type of car to
discuss the convertible. What
actually de we mean when we say
convertible ? To some this type of
car is a personality; any boy with
one has the best personality in
the whole fraternity. For some,
traveling in this type of car is the
only way to become a social suc-
cess. To others namely those
who date boys with tops on their
cars (poor underprivileged babies),
convertibles are only sardine cans
with the lids off. Oh to be a sar-
dine now that April is here.

Perhaps the oddest "car ex-
perience" of my year occurred
last quarter. Both Tech and Em-
ory were having dances on the
same night and the car rental
places were very busy. Two in-
genious Tech boys who couldn't
get a car decided that they would
not let a lack of cars stop them;
no sir, they just picked up their
dates in a two ton open back
Mack truck. Can you think of
anything more romantic than love
on a moving van?

Oh well, I am bitter and I ad-
mit it. I want a car. Nothing
flashy or showy; nothing yellow,
green, or with white side-walled
tires. All I want is a humble
piece of metal that runs. No
more walking for me; I want to be
an aristocrat of the roadways. If
you know of a soap contest with
a Ford in my Future or of a bus
company that is going out of bus-
iness please have them contact
third Main.

I guess that there are many
girls who have no interest in the
above discussion because of their
lack of cars. I have a special rec-
ommendation for those people
take an afternoon off and visit
Davison's as they are having a
wonderful sale on spring WALK-
ING shoes.

PBX Operator Polishes Halo
For Student Switchboarders

"Positively no admittance except to PBX operators" is
the ominous greeting on the door of the switchboard room,
but it might be a good thing if someone took the sign down
for a day and let the campus wander in for an earful.

If each girl could sit in just one hour on the board, more
formally called the PBX (Private Branch Exchange), there
would certainly be a better understanding between operators
and students, but since this method would be impractical and
even impossible, instead these suggestions are designed to
further the cause of the poor telephone girl.

A visit to the Switchboard room would clear up for you,
the campus telephone user, the whys and wherefores of the
five minute limit to calls. You would understand that the
operator hates to "click" you just as much as you hate to be
clicked, and that there are always "others who are waiting"
to make it necessary for you to limit your call. And having
to cut off a repeatedly warned conversationalist is probably
the most embarrasing situation for an operator, but rules
are rules, and there is a definite need for such a rule.

Learning first-hand about such little quirks of the board as
clicking for another number and dialing the operator will
enable you to get quicker service from America's Number 1
public utility. Jangling the receiver up and down furiously
won't help a bit in attracting the operator's attention, because
the light doesn't come on and she can't tell which line wants
her, but a few slow clicks will do the trick.

These little pointers you could learn without going near
the board . . . answering the phone more promptly when it
rings on your hall, and remembering to put the phone back
on the hook when your conversation is completed.

When you don't get much satisfaction from your attempts
to get the operator, you probably think that she is a devil in
disguise, and just won't answer you from plain orneryness,
but there are reasons for her delay. A long distance call may
have just come in, or a faculty call. Perhaps if you knew all
these things you would have a little more patience.

"They also serve who only stand and wait." D. B.

Spring Dreams n Reminiscing
Bring Reviews of Social Year

By HARRIOT ANN

Let's

Zoom! and the whole social year of '49-'50 has whirled past us
go back through the year and reminisce together . . .

Early in April of 1949, the campus fashion was togas worn to a
Roman Banquet. We laughed at Emory's Skit-O-Frenia, and went on
picnics galore. The ODKs held their national convention in Atlanta,
and we went shopping in the NEW store Franklin Simon for our
Easter bonnets.

And what a parade of bonnets there was last Easter! Remember
those Lily Dache chapeaux and the Hedda Hopper creations? From
roses on our hats we whirled to roses for Queen Beryl, who reigned at
the Engineer's Ball at Tech. The juniors had their very own banquet,
and Martha Williamson was showered with bridal parties. Remem-
ber that the roses in the Alumnae garden bloomed
late in April? May was ushered in by Irish "wee
folk" and the Senior Opera. Our shoes went every-
where that first week-end in May black ballets
went to the Sigma Nu and SAE formals, and man-
gled moccasins went on house parties. Pretty pat-
ent pumps paraded to parties for Polly Anna.

Oh, remember that chaotic week-end when the
campus lights blinked on and off periodically?
They always seemed to be off when we were trying
to press our dresses, and on when our dates were
leaving Main! On May 12 and 13, our Mr. Bunny
Rabbit was fascinated with the decorations, cos-
tumes, and pretty girls at Dooley's Frolics. Did you ever pull the se-
cret of Dooley's disappearance out of our rabbit's hat, hmm? School
closed in June with a sky full of showers for brides-to-be. Ah, romance
and graduation!

Remember Those Rushin' Ramblin' Recks

The summer passed and we returned eagerly to school with exciting
tales of trips west and abroad, vacations at the beach, new romances,
and interesting summer jobs. Rush season at Emory and Tech opened
with Agnes Scott at the top of the list. Those boys really dreamed
up some crazy costumes for us to wear, didn't they? I remember the
Apache, Shipwrecked, Bowery, Lil Abner, and Hillbilly themes, par-
ticularly.

October was highlighted by Hallowe'en, Black Cat, hayrides, the
Beta Rose Ball, and the KA formal. Jane Sharkey was married that
month, too. Remember the treasure hunt Aggie went on? She
searched from haywagons to the ROTC Ring Dance and found a week-
end full of fun. Next Homecoming for Tech or should we even
print the name "Blue Devils!" Remember seeing in the Sunday paper
the picture of Mif and Jane at the football game ? The Seminary boys
made their own score with a County Fair party.

Little Kids Day and Investiture filled our diaries and our dreams.
The Penthouse became a popular place to go. Push-ball games at
Emory were not so entertaining for the freshmen as for the specta-
tors, but the dances afterwards made up for it all. \

Diamonds Delight Dreamy-eyed Damsels

Aggie televised her first week-end in December, and went home
for the holidays to feast on Christmas goodies. Remember the MIL-
LIONS of diamonds and pins that were fashioned on campus the first
of the year? We had Date Night in Murphey Candler and balloons for
the Cotillion formal dance. Our shadows were seen at Jhe Chi Phi-
Phi Delt formal at the Sky Roof and at the Friday, the thirteenth,
parties at Tech and Emory.

In February, guest editors related lots of social news the Emory
Phi Delt week-end, petite Mary Beth Robinson was queen of Junior
Joint, The Ballet Russe, the L F. C. Cinderella Ball, and the Ice Follies
that thrilled lots of us. Saint Valentine and Cupid (with the aid of the
Main bulletin board) made sure all of us received plenty of candy and
flowers.

And once again it is spring, and who knows what another year
will bring

side the equipment room and she
is to take her tennis racket to her
room with her. The equipment
room will not be open after 6 p. m.
It is permissable, however, for
students- to play tennis later than
that time if they will observe these
regulations.

All students and their friends

gym suits, belts and tennis socks.
Miss Wilburn and Williams re-
quest that girls not wear shorts
on the courts at any time.

By Ellen Hull

When Public Lecture association presents H. S. Ede, Brit-
ish art critic, next Tuesday at 8:30 p. m., it will not be Mr.
Ede's first visit to America or to Agnes Scott. The artist, stu-
dent, and critic of modern painting has recently given two
lecture tours in America under the auspices of the Institute of

International Education -and has _ . ,

art and its expression.

twice previously visited the cam-
pus. His subject, 'What Are Pic-
tures?" will be illustrated with
about 40 slides.

Mr. Ede began his career as a
painter, but later took up an of-
ficial life. Connected with the
"Tate Branch" of the National
Gallery in London for about 15
years, he has been instrumental
in bringing to notice some of the
most talented English painters.
Also an author, he has written a
biography of Henri Gaudier-Bres-
ka, "Savage Messiah," which was
chosen by the Book-of-the-Month
club some years ago; he is the au-
thor of a book on Florentine draw-
ings of the Quattro Cento.

Mr. Ede will lecture on "Pic-
tures Are Like People" at Emory
April 12, and on "The Bishop's

Bartlett Will Represent College

United States.

Charlotte is one of 50 delegates,
selected as one who "could both
contribute and benefit in the ca-
pacity of delegate." The young
women are chosen on the basis of
their college records from colleges
and universities throughout the
nation.

The subject for this year's fo-
rum is "Welfare State in a Free
Society." Such topics as what is

Intelligent Person Must Have
Open Mind/ Miss MacDougall

By Sally Veale

There must be a "storing of the well and the open mind" in
an "intelligent and understanding person," said Miss Mary
Stuart MacDougall, professor of biology, in her speech at the
Phi Beta Kappa ceremony Saturday. During the
chapel Miss Ellen Douglas Leyburn, associate professor of
English, announced the 1950 mem-

bers of the scholastic honor so-
ciety. Those selected and their
majors are Hazel Berman Karp,
history; Cama Clarkson, English;
Ss rah Hancock, mathematics and
art; Polly Anna Phillips Harris,
mathematics; Alline Marshall, bi-
ology; Pat Overton, Spanish; Rose-
ellen Gillam Potter, history.

Stating that pressure has been
brought upon liberal arts colleges
for a change in the curriculum
and that the necessity for delving
deep into a subject has been ques-
tioned, Miss MacDougall remark-
ed that "one of the most satisfy-
ing experiences one can have is
suddenly to grasp, the meaning of
what seemed until then unrelated
facts." It is necessary to store the
mind with facts, for the "greai
fundamental discoveries will al-
ways be made by individuals with
well stored minds."

The demand for changes is for

a more "practical education," said
Miss MacDougall. She agrees that
keeping a home is important but
believes that intelligence and un-
derstanding are needed to run the
kind of home that one should
maintain. "The demand . . . that a
woman should be educated along
one special line is . . . dangerous
for . . . her own inner life."

Miss MacDougall mentioned the
side of education which she re-
ferred to as "the subjective per-
sonal enjoyment one should gain
as new horizons 'appear." Unless
an individual can meet new situa-
tions, his diploma does not mean
that he is educated.

"You cannot know the value of
your liberal arts education until
you have reached middle life, and
that is the reason for giving time
and nature a chance to prove its
real value."

Stukes To Do Summer Work In Belgium
As American Girl Scout Representative

Chosen as "a fine representative of our Girl Scout move-
ment and of our country," Marjorie Stukes, Agnes Scott ju-
nior, will go to Belgium this summer to work on the Belgian-
Service Project near Brussels.

One of five Girl Scouts of the United States to go abroad
on this project this year, Margie's

selection climaxes 11 years of
Scouting; and her experience will
serve as a preview to the career
in professional Girl Scouting she
has been planning.

During the three months in Eu-
rope, Margie will work with Girl
Scout campers and with handicap-
ped troops. She hopes to "squeeze
in" some sight-seeing on the week-
ends and a trip to the Girl Scout
chalet in Switzerland.

The trip is made possible by the
Juliette Low World Friendship
Fund, named for the founder of
Girl Scouting in this country. The

fund is the collection of part of
the annual Juliette ,Low birthday
offerings of Scouts all over the
country. The other U. S. repre-
sentatives >are from South Caro-
lina, Montana, and New York
state.

Responsibility Realized

We feel a responsibility a big responsibility to you who
have elected us, the 1950-51 staff of the Agnes Scott News, to
service. In compiling and publishing that "ephemeral com-
modity," the news, we shall keep in mind that our first al-
legiance and our first duty are to the student body.

Throughout our year in office, we shall challenge the pol-
icies of the past and of the present; and, accepting what we
have challenged and found good and rejecting the rest, we
shall work toward a future in which the News can be a force
for progress on the campus.

It is one of our major goals to make this newspaper the or-
gan through which student opinion can be presented. Along
with this, we hope to offer students a paper which reaches in-
to all the "newsy" nooks and crannies of the campus, and
which has an editorial page sensitive to the needs and prob-
lems of the campus, the nation, and the world.

Through these, we shall strive, too, to present a News that
will demonstrate good journalism, and finally, a News we
shall be proud to hand down to the next generation of editors,
knowing that we have not failed in the trust that you, our
readers, have given us. C. K.

Firefly Matt
Finds, Loses

(Reprinted from the March 23
issue of "The Huntress," Hunting-
don college, Montgomery, Ala.)

The other day we heard this sto-
ry about a little Lightning Bug.
His name was Matt, and he had a
terrible affliction; he had no light.
Every night when all of his friends
were flying around warm and
happy, poor Matt 'had to hover in
his home cold and lonesome. He
couldn't see how to go about his
work. He tried hard all day to
finish his different jobs, but some-
how the daylight just didn't last
quite long enough. Then he be-
gan to have to keep on with his
job as long as he could after the
evening shadows began to fall.
For several weeks he kept hoping
his "built-in" light would return
and he wouldn't have to strain
his eyes any more. His boss just
didn't realize that he had other
jobs he had to do, too.

One day a wonderful thing hap-
pened. All the older lightning
bugs said that it was a miracle
because nothing like that had ev-
er happend before. His light sud-
denly came on! But poor Matt
didn't even notice it. He was
blind.

Horse's Play
Throws Editor

By Helen Land

I didn't like the way he looked at
me; he wouldn't meet my gaze;
this might be a lovely date, but I
doubted it. His ears lay close to
his head. No, my date stood be-
hind me; I'm referring to the
horse. I was visiting in North
Carolina and had been introduced
to "the cutest boy in Wilming-
ton" the night before. I had
steered the conversation to favor-
ite hobbies 'and such things when
h e enthusiastically mentioned
horseback riding. I more enthu-
siastically replied, though my to-
tal experience in that realm lay in
a summer at camp when (twice
a week) I forced myself to trot
and canter around the ring and
climaxed the season proudly wad-
dling off sporting the beginner's
ribbon. My potentialities had been
fulfilled I was a horsewoman.

No Horse Sense

That had been three years be-
fore, and I pleaded "rustiness" to
my date; but he insisted. I eyed
Dan, the gentlest horse on the
farm, and with trepidation and
trembling, mounted. Jack leaped
upon his spirited creature, and we
were off.

My horse showed immediate in-
clinations for speed and I wailed
"Jack!"

My date called authoritatively,
"Walk, Dan, walk."

I hollowly echoed, "Walk, Dan."
The next few minutes are a mem-
ory-mixture of wind and woods
slicing my drawn face. Head down
the animal plunged through under-
brush, trees, and what-have-you
. . . and I? I was trying to recall
what the instructor had said about'
jerking at the bit -and holding
tight with my knees. Failing at
both, I swayed back and forth
shouting incoherently, "W a 1 k,
Dan, walk!"

Fence Him In

When I thought the end was in
view, the back side of a barn rear-
ed its beautiful head. There was
no door, and obviously no question
of jumping. (At least I didn't
think so.) The horse, to my hor-
ror, seemed undaunted and ap-
proached at breakneck speed. I
closed my eyes and tmuttered
something intended as my last
words which I know now was
probably "Walk, Dan." We must
have been inches from the wall of
the barn when he halted abruptly.
I didn't. I greeted the barn es-
kimo style (with my nose) and
continued to the ground. I hugged
it happily as my date came pant-
ing up. "Never again," said L
"Give me land, lots of land!"

He shook his head disgustedly,
and chuckled, "Me, too! but not
on a horse!"

time church work is your chosen

NSA Convention Meets Here
To Discuss Student Problems

National Student Association now contains about 40 per
cent of the student population of the United States, students
not of the "off-brand" institutions, but of institutions with
which a school would be proud to associate. Roy Wiggins from
Emory, regional president, pointed this out at the Saturday
meeting of the Georgia, Alabama, '

Florida regional convention last
week-end.

NSA is valuable to students,
for it is a body through which in-
ternational cooperation can be ar-
ranged, it presents the unified
voice of American students, and it
affords an organ through which
students can co-operate on larger
projects. These and other uses
were mentioned at the seminar.

High points of the discussion re-
vealed the uses of NSA for the

the students through research,
representation on UNESCO, co-
ordination of larger scale pro-
grams, and through the various
activities of the international com-
mission.

Letter to the Editor

Dear Editor,

Please advise the students that
elections are only eleven months
and three weeks off. Tell them
to hurry and to choose next year's
officers. The time will soon be
here to mark the little white bal-
lots, and they will be unprepared.

In case the average student has
not noticed, elections have come
and gone. If you are an average
student, please do not feel too
badly if didn't realize that elec-
tions were going on; because your
vote would not have counted too
much. That is, of course, unless
you had been let in on the secret
of "who" wanted "what."

Oh well I guess politics are pol-
itics. However, can we devise a
new method of nominating can-
didates or of campaigning so
that the student body will be in-
formed arid we will not have pres-
sure politics? Can we do some-
thing about elections so that some
will not be completely victorious
and some completely "officeless;"
must we have some railroaded out
so that others can be railroaded
in? Let us try NOW eleven
months and three weeks ahead
of time, to have an open election
next year.

This may be a "gripe" letter,
but I do not mean it to be felt
by any one individual. Let us get
behind this year's officers but try
to be more fair next year.

Pygmalion Cast Replace Drawl
With British, Cockney Accents

By Nancy Wilkinson

"Watch that accent! Remember, an English lady always
pronounces her t's." "Be careful, now! Don't forget you're a
Cockney . . ." The cast of Pygmalion has had three real Eng-
lishmen and one Englishwoman to help them with their Brit-
ish accents.

Miss Grace Hedges, originally
from Somerset, said she is partic-
ularly helping Eliza (Margaret
Hopkins) to overcome her south-
ern accent and become a true
English lady.

At the opposite end from the
highbred accent, Mr. Fortson
from Bristol, England, said it is
his job to make Cockneys out of
some members of the cast. "It's
just the opposite from what Grace
is doing," he explained. "Grace
makes them pronounce their t's
and h's, and I get them to drop
them. A Cockney says ma(tt)er
and bu(tt)er." On the side, he ex-
plained that a true Cockney must
be born within one-fourth mile of
Bow Bells, which is the heart of
Cockney London and the home of
the Barrow Boys and Petticoat
Lane.

As if the fact of Englishmen
weren't' enough by itself, one of
them is a lord! Lord Charles
Worth, formerly from Norwich

said he is helping the cast both
with their Cockney accent and

"The cast is doing wonderfully
well," he commented.

The last coach is Anthony Bar-
ret, a Georgia Tech student for-
merly from Harrow, near London.
What seemed to interest him most
was the novel idea of getting
American college girls to speak

Herald Spring Social Season

Spring arrived amid -a flurry of light snovvflakes, drizzling rain, and
violent winds; but brought with it all the traditional seasonal excite-
ment and turbulent thoughts of love. Hottentots ushered in the sea-
son with the acceptance of engagement rings, fraternity pins and with
gala parties.

Norma Waldrep and Lola Purcell blithely ignored all jocular con-
ceptions concerning April First and boldly returned to the campus
Saturday night wearing a sparkling diamond and a sapphire and pearl
Tech Phi Delt pin respectively. Harriot Ann McGuire beat Springtime
to the draw. She started making tentative plans for an August wedding
during between-quarter holidays.

Starting off the Spring social functions in Atlanta with a tremen-
dous bang, the Tech Alpha Tau Omegas were hosts to a week-end of
entertainment which a number of Agnes Scott girls enjoyed. Beginning
the activities was a banquet given Friday night where favors of gold
combination perfume and lipstick holders with the ATO crest were pre-
sented to each of the dates.

Scotties Blossom in Spring Creations

Some of Aggie's most charming belles were present there, and at the
dance which followed, in lovely new Spring creations. Ballerinas were
popular for the evening. Margaretta Lumpkin, Mary Birmingham,
Marion Merritt, and Adaline Miller were particularly attractive in
theirs. Frances Pat Patterson wore a stunning forest green taffeta
strapless with a matching quilted jacket, and Beryl Crews accentuated
her newly-acquired Florida suntan with a black taffeta.

Choosing light, filmy, pastel marquisettes were Anne McLeod, Sybil
Corbett, Adelaide Ryall, and Ann Jones. Another Agnes Scott gal was
outstanding at the formal. Nancy Dendy, a '49 graduate, was in tow#
for the big week-end. Nancy was wearing a crisp aqua marquisette
dress. Each girl completed her attire with an exquisite orchid com-
plement of her date.

Activities were continued Saturday night with a barbecue at Lithi-a
Springs. Barn dancing and round dancing followed in the club house
there. Catherine Crowe, Sybil, Ann, and Pat attended this informal
party.

The Tech ATO's, however, were not the only fraternity providing a
week-end of frolicking fun. Mary Hayes Barber and Dottie Allison
said the Emory Chi Phi house party at Rutledge was out of this world.
'Ole Man Weather even smiled upon the event. Beginning by teasing
the party-goers Saturday with a dismal rainy atmosphere, he tapered
off Sunday into an unusually wonderful day, typical only of Spring-
time.

Some Attracted, Some Attract

Some girls were attracted out of town while others attracted people
into town. Patricia Cortelyou went to Marietta, LaWahna Rigdon
attended a Sigma Nu formal at the University of Georgia, Ann Boyer
went to ta dance at the University of Tennessee, Ann Goolsby and
Dot Rollins spent the week-end with LaBelle David in Calhoun. Chris
Allen, Betty Holland, Bet Linton, Sally Veale, and Margaret Inman
entertained out-of-town visitors.

Betty Van Houten, Charlotte Bartlett, Ann Williamson, and Ruth
Vineyard were guests at a linen shower given in honor of Anne Irwin,
who is getting married this summer.

And so begins Spring the time of feverish impulsiveness and tender
memories.

It's Time To Make Resolutions
As Board Begins New Year

By Anne Brooke

Have you made your New Year's resolutions? Athletic as-
sociation is beginning a new year, and it is up to you to de-
cide what part you are going to play in supporting its program.
It is you, who compose the membership of the association,
who will determine its success or failure.

A. A. offers a wide variety of

sports and recreation, both in-
dividual and group; so don't ne-
glect your favorite sport and feel
that your participation in gym
classes is enough. If there is
some sport you wish to learn or
to perfect, this is the time to do it.
Right now the weather is beautiful
for tennis or hiking, and when it
does rain, you can turn your at-
tention to badminton, dancing,
swimming, or other of the many
indoor sports.

Go out for the class hockey,
basketball, and softball teams. Or,
if your aptitude is the for job of
spectator , attend the games and
yell for your team. Student gov-
ernment gives a class spirit cup
each spring, and you can help your
class win.

The new Athletic board has re-
solved to give the Agnes Scott
campus the best year ever of

sports and recreation. I? I've re-
solved to give you all the sports
news the way you want it. What
is your resolution?

Banquet Saturday Will Reveal
Implications of 'When in Rome 1

By Barbara West

The Ides of March have passed, but a Roman banquet sim-
ilar to those in Julius Caesar's days will be Saturday, April 15,
at 5:30 p. m. in 'the small dining room at Agnes Scott.

For* those attending the banquet, and to educate the others,
the Eta Sigma Phi's are giving a brief chapel program Friday
morning entitled "Learn Your
Roman Manners." The why's and
how's of such things as draping
a bed sheet to resemble a Roman
toga and eating on a bed in the
Roman (not dormitory) manner
will be explained and illustrated
by members of the fraternity.

The menu for the banquet is
that of a typical Roman meal.
Between courses, entertainment
will be provided for the guests.
Martha Weakley is in charge, and
the breadth and scope of the en-
tertainment, too, is Romanistic.
Miss Ellen Douglass Leyburn, as-
sociate professor of English, Lou-
ise Hertwig, Hunt Morris, alum-
nae office assistant, William A.
Calder, professor of physics and
astronomy, Miss Elizabeth Zenn,
assistant professor of classical
languages and literatures, and
others are vying with each other
to provide typical entertainment.
There may be even a Roman
chorus line!

There will be slave girls, too,
to wash the guests' feet and to
run other errands.

The tickets ^re on sale now in
Buttrick lobby. There are places
for only 75.

McCain Will Speak Saturday
For Mortar Board in Chapel

Just before delivering the caution, " Tis the torch that the
people follow, whoever the bearer may be," Cama Clarkson^
president of the 1949-50 HOASC chapter of Mortar Board, will
pass on that torch of the Mortar Board ideals by her an-
nouncement of the Mortar Board members of the class of '51..
The announcement service will be

in chapel Saturday.

Beginning with the academic
procession led by Cama, Presi-
dent James R. McCain, and Vice
President Wallace M. Alston, and
including active, honorary, and
alumnae members of Mortar
Board, the service will continue
with the traditional singing of
"Rejoice Ye Pure in Heart." Dr.
Alston will lead the opening pray-
er, and Cama will introduce Dr.
McCain, who will speak on "Some
of the Achievements of Mortar
Board During Its Life on the Ag-
nes Scott Campus."

After the speech will be- the
announcement of new members.

Saturday afternoon the new
members will be initiated and
then entertained at a tea at the
home of Miss Carrie Scandrett,
dean.

The Mortar Board pin, a small
enamelled mortar board, stands
for the three bases for member-
ship in the honorary society- for
senior women, leadership, scholar-
ship, and service.

The service will end with the
singing of the alma mater and
the recessional.

Tea House To End
Service June, '50

After 30 years of service, the
Alumnae tea house will close. It
will remain open for the rest of
this year, but will not re-open
next year.

It was opened originally to take
care of day students and the fac-
ulty members who lived off cam-
pus. At the beginning of the war,
however, most of the faculty mov-
ed back onto the campus. Next
year the new dining hall will pro-
vide for the day students. /

Plans now are to change the
space occupied by the tea room
into office space. The present of-
fice of Miss Eleanor Hutchens,
alumnae secretary, will again be
a coat room. The exact use of
the present alumnae office has
not been decided. The kitchen will
remain intact, though, so that
there may be small luncheons and
teas.

Student Government Reveals

for the rest of this quarter so
that those who wish to may leave
for church by 7:15 p. m., an-
nounces Helen Land, new chair-
man of vespers on Christian as-
sociation cabinet. On the program
Sunday, Miss Janef Preston, as-
sistant professor of English, will
read poetry; and Charlotte Key
will play the harp.

The meeting will be on the lit-
tle quadrangle if it is not rain-
ing. Helen hopes it will be the
first of many outdoor vesper ser-
vices this Spring.

ASC to Cooperate

In Survey of

Wealth

In cooperation with the greater
Atlanta health program, there,
will be a health survey on the Ag-
nes Scott campus Monday, April
17, from 9 a. m. until 5 p. m. The
tests, which will require seven
minutes to take, will include ane-
mia tests, blood sugar test for di-
abetes, chest X-ray, dental exam-
ination, and blood test for syphilis.

All who are willing to take the
tests may sign on the list in the
infirmary by tomorrow afternoon.
It is requested that students not
wear jewelry when coming for the
examination and to wear sweaters
or blouses buttoned down the mid-
dle of the back or front.

The purpose of the over-all pro-
gram is "to screen the well pop-
ulation for a number of common
diseases and to refer persons with
suspected defects to private prac-
titioners" before ^their conditions
have reached the advanced stage.

The results of the test will be
confidential, and those suspected
of having communicable diseases
will be notified. When the project
is completed, there will be a sta-
tistical evaluation of the results.

It's a Great Day

"It's a great day" says the song. It seems so true that it
helps a person's disposition, digestion, and general well-being
to look on the bright side of things. It also seems true that
it is extremely hard to be cheerful and that a person's dispo-
sition suffers when the air around him is saturated with
complaints.

Few have denied that society is not perfect. There is al-
ways something that needs to be done, and talking is one way
to arouse action. Constructive criticism is always in order.
But most of us on the Agnes Scott campus complain about
trivial things things which could or would be better either
just mentioned or forgotten.

Even many of your friends are not too interested in the
fact that you do not like beans, or that you were late to an
appointment yesterday, or that you got sand on your suecte
shoes when you passed the dining hall-to-be. After all, it's a
beautiful day, last night was a lovely night, and it's really a
wonderful world, so why limit conversation to useless com-
plaining? C. K.

. Is It Too Late?

We have just passed through one of the most sacred sea-
sons in the year. Each of us worshipped her God in her own
way on Easter Sunday. But, can we pass through the coming
year, and on Easter Sunday, 1951, say we have worshipped
each Sunday as well as Easter?

It is a standing joke about the people we know who only
attend church on Easter. But, have we been loyal to our
church or does the joke apply to us, too?

College students are sometimes distinguished by their abil-
ity to "fly the coop" and forget what parents have imposed
upon them. But why shouldn't college students with their
greater abilities and insight be distinguished by a great love
for God and for worshipping God?

Maybe it seems a little late to begin urging students to be
faithful to their church and to worship every Sunday. That
usually happens at the beginning of the school year. But, re-
member, there will be a Sunday every six days for the rest
of your life. Could it ever be too late?

Maybe you don't think the answer should be no. But why
wait to find out? M. A. J.

Exchange Echoes

Late hours aren't too good for one,
I've found that this is true;
But though they aren't too good

for one . ,
They're wonderful for two.

Mercer Cluster

Poll Reveals Opposition
To Home Economics Major

Charlotte: And this, I suppose, is
one of those hideous caricatures
you call modern art.

Marijean: Nope, that's just a
mirror.

There I^sat on a Saturday night
Abandoned by women and men.
Murmuring over and over . . .
"I'll never eat onions again."

The Johnsonian

Cannibal King: "What we got
for lunch today?"

Chef: "Two old maids."

Cannibal King: "Ugh, leftovers
again." The Lenoir Rhynean

According to the answers given
by 34 students in a poll taken by
the Agnes Scott News, Agnes
Scotters approve the plan of hav-
ing some facilities for gaining ex-
perience in home economics on the
campus, but are almost violently
opposed to the idea of the college's
offering a major in home eco-
nomics.

The two prevailing ideas about
the possibility of offering courses
in home economics are typified by
the answers of Harriett Murray
and Barbara Quattlebaum. Har-
riett thinks that "most girls will
be homemakers and a liberal edu-
cation should make a well-round-
ed person who would be a home-
maker of the best caliber." Ac-
cording to Barbara, "anyone with
normal and average intelligence
can learn to do such things after
she gets out, but there should be
a place on campus where those
who wish to, can learn." Others
expressed the opinion that if such
courses were offered, they should
be on the same level as typing and
shorthand are now available, but
not required and not giving credit.

Those who favor the establish-
ment of a major in home econom-
ics gave reasons similar to those
of Isabel Truslow and Jackie Sim-
mons that most girls will be
homemakers, most are unprepared
for the job, and training in home
economics would be more valuable
than many of the other things of-
fered in college.

Several students questioned,
however, feel that to establish
such a major would be contrary to
the ideals of Agnes Scott as a Lib-
eral Arts college, while others ex-
pressed the fear that money might
be spent there that could be used
to better advantage in other
phases of the college's activities.
Betty Harrell said, "to start giv-
ing credit for cooking and sweep-
ing would destroy all Agnes Scott
has ever stood for." While Mary
Hayes Barber feels that there
should be a place on campus where
a person can cook if she wants to,
the money could be better spent
than in establishing a regular de-
partment, for courses that would
be offered could be learned at
home.

When asked what type the
courses offered should be, Louise
Arant suggested sewing, nutrition,
home management, and family re-
lationships. Margaret McRae's
answer was that the courses
should be general ones that would
fit in with the rest of the Liberal

Service Features
Music, Readings

The quietness of the Easter
morning was broken by the strains
of music from a harp calling the
Agnes Scott campus to the sun-
rise service. After the prelude,
B. J. Foster led the group in a re-
sponsive call to worship. The
audience was asked to join in sing-
ing "Christ the Lord is Risen To-
day." Then B. J. read the Easter
story according to St. Mark.

Following the reading, the choir
of about ten sang the anthem,
"God So Loved the World," by
Strainer, and Edith Sewell read
"The Resurrection" by Brunini.
As she finished, Charlotte Key.
harpist, began to play. After she
completed the piece, "Prayer," by
Hasselmans, B. J. led the group
in prayer. The*service closed with
a hymn, "Come Ye Faithful, Raise
the Strain."

Landmarks

Colonnade
Shadows

By Helen Land

Shafts of moon split the length
horizontally. Spring breezes race
each other through the columns.
Eleven-fifty Saturday night and
the tree between Main and the
moon briefly cuts the white light
on the floor. Returning, it erases
its path.

A door opens and double forms
break the shadow pantomime.
Two by two they hesitate, consi-
der, and settle. A cadence of foot-
steps continues.

A girl throws back her head
and laughs. The boy moves tow-
ard her.

A couple stand facing each
other,' holding both hands and
talking quietly.

Moving into the shadow, a girl
brushes her eyes with her hand.
The boy gazes at her.

Phrases are caught up and car-
ried by a warm wind.

"Sure, I'll call you sometime.
See you around!"

"... Next Friday? I'd love it!"

"Wait! You won't forget?"

"Night, sug. Call you tomor-
row."

Mr. Jones' tread . . . firm and
slow. Last couples reluctantly di-
verge. Car motors clear their
throats in unison and hum off in-
to the night . . . clatter of high
heels dims and dies.

Breezes resume their interrupt-
ed sport. The tree again crosses
the impassive moon marking its
trail on the floor.

Campus Slips

While having unusual difficulty
in pleasing the editor with a head-
line, one member of the News
staff said disgustedly, "Punchy
seems to be the Key-note around
here."

In response to N the frantic re-
quest by the editor to "find a cam-
pus slip at supper and remember
it," Betty Finney calmly remark-
ed, "But I thought they gave those
out in the mail room."

The Play's the Thing

Guttersnipe Will Become Lady
April 20, 21 in Spring Play

By Ann Boyer

Eliza Doolittle was a guttersnipe. She was a seller of flow-
ers, a cockney with curbstone English. Her ascent into high
society and her development into a mature woman form the
plot of the Blackfriars' spring production, "Pygmalion," in
which Margaret Hopkins will play the leading role.

The little cockney was no
lady; and Henry Higgens, brought
near her in the shelter from the
rain, knew she was not. But hav-
ing noticed her, he mused that he
could make her into a duchess in
three months. He paid her for her
spilled violets, and all went their
separate ways after the rain, their
thoughts only slightly touched by
the meeting.

Yet the next day, Eliza came to
Henry Higgins' house and said she
wanted him to make her a lady,
according to his bet with Colonel
Pickering. He agreed, and the
experiment was begun.

Eliza, the guttersnipe, became
a lady to all outward appearances.
Her accent and manners were
perfect, although she was limited
to discussing the weather and
health, having memorized all she
knew. .

At the Ambassadors' garden
party, Eliza was a success. She
triumphed, and Henry Higgins won
his bet. Now where could she go,
what could she do?

The solution to this problem and
her conflict with Henry completed
the change in her. Eliza, the
guttersnipe, realized that being a
lady was not enough that she

Steber Ends
Star Series
For 1949-50

By Frances Pat Patterson

Eleanor Steber ended the At-
lanta Music Club's 1949-50 All-
Star Concert series with her con-
cert Saturday night. Miss Steber
gave generously of her musical
talent and delighted her listeners
with her beautiful encores. She
created the exact moods and feel-
ing for each of her selections, re-
ceiving great applause from her
audience.

Exhibiting a voice of beautiful
timbre, she presented a program
which included works of Mozart,
Brahms, Mahler, Richard Strauss,
Rossini, Debussy, Respighi, Bezet,
and others. She moved effortless-
ly from the lowest notes of the
soprano register to the highest,
showing the wide range and flex-
ibility of her voice. She kept her
voice under perfect control; even
a whisper carried to the farthest
sections of the large auditorium.

The Metropolitan star sang each
score with equal brilliance. How-
ever, the Dove Song from "La
Nozzi di Figaro," by Mozart, and
"Morgan", and "Standchen," by
Richard Strauss brought more ap-
plause than did other works. The
audience especially enjoyed her
interpretation of Wolf's "Elfin-
lied", a novelty song.

Varied Weekend Activity

By DOT RING

Poignant memories of Eastertide have slipped into this week's cam-
pus conversation with thrills and ecstasies exchanged over lovely cor-
sages, sunrise services, egg hunts, week-end visitors, and parties.

A little fluffy yellow bunny crept into the hearts of most Agnes
Scott girls, luring them to approximately 24 different states to j(jin
in their hometown Easter Parade. Some of them were Dot Davis,
Jessie Hodges, Marilyn Michie, Dot Hardin, Donya Dixon, Kay Krauth,
Anna Gounaris, Sally Thompson, Susan Dodson, Gvven Johnson, Katie
Berdanis, Sylvia Moutos, Betty Moyer, Kitty Freeman, Nancy DeAr-
mond, Virginia Arnold, Ann Kincaid, and Betty Mobley.

Cornelia Dickerson eagerly seized the opportunity of this season
of rabbits and multi-colored eggs to visit Vaughn in Gfreensboro.
Jessie Carpenter went to see Van in Virginia, and June Carpenter
visited Jim Engle in Charlotte. Annelle Simpson went to Gastonia, N.
C, to take part in a wedding. Jane Puckett entertained Margaretta
Lumpkin, Mif Martin, Lillian Beall, Patricia Cortelyou, and their dates
on a three-day house party at her home in Spartanburg, S. C. Virginia
Claire Hays also had a number of guests Anne Jones, Roberta Wil-
liams, Gayle Harbour, and Betty Hodges. Marg Hunt spent the week-
end at Saint Simon's Beach on a house party basking in the sun.
Twig Hertwig was hostess to Mary Hayes Barber, Barbara Quattle-
baum, and their dates during the holiday. Marcy O'Ferrall and John
R. visited Ann Boyer.

Although out-of-town activities appealed to the majority of students,
much excitement was also to be had in Atlanta. There was the won-
derful Tech Phi Delta Theta alumni dinner-dance at the Piedmont
Driving Club Friday night. Helen Land, Millie Allison, and Lola Pur-
cell were there. Barbara Brown, Kassie Simmons, Anne Williams,
Sarah Tucker, and Cama Clarkson went to the Penthouse Saturday
afternoon, and followed it with dinner in town and the Eleanor Steber
concert. Ellie McCarty, Joann Wood, and Sylvia Williams attended
the Emory Phi Delts' pajama party Saturday night.

Replacing the countless girls signing out for the week-end were a
number of out-of-town visitors. Helen Huie's two sisters were here,
Anne Cooper's parents, Margaret McRae's sister, Flora Kibler's par-
ents, and Smokey Bowers' Jimmy from the University of Georgia.

Seniors Beat Sophomores 18-7

The freshmen and seniors defeated their sister classes 9-8
and 18-7 respectively in the opening game of the 1950 soft-

Girls Who Can Hold Rackets
May Play In Tennis Matches

By Anne Brooke

You don't have to be a Bill Tilden or a Bitsy Grant. In fact

you don't even have to know how to play tennis. If you can

hold a tennis racket you are urged to come out for the tennis

tournament which will begin Tuesday, April 18. Adelaide

Ryall, tennis manager, feels that everyone should learn how

to play her favorite game ten- M _ ,

suits. The wearing of shorts will

not be allowed at any time.

Athletic Association
Wants Blue Horses

Athletic association wants your
Blue Horse wrappers. About four
thousand are required to secure a
Blue Horse bicycle and A. A. now
has three thousand two hundred
fifty on hand. So instead of
throwing those wrappers away,
put them m the box which has
been. placed in the Book Store for
that purpose or give them to one
of the A*.A. board members.

Athletic association now has
about seven bicycles which are
kept in the basement of Murphey
Candler for student use. They
would like to secure another one
before the end of the year.

nis, naturally. She hopes that the
campus will become more tennis-
minded and work up greater em
thusiasm for sports in general.
Adelaide plans to arrange the
games so that each participant
will be competing against play-
ers of her own caliber. The lists
have been posted; and girls are
asked to sign up by Saturday,
April 15, for the singles and dou-
bles.

This quarter freshmen are eli-
gible to try out for the Tennis
club. Anyone interested may try
out either by playing in the
tournament or by making special
arrangements with the tennis
manager.

Since there are at present only
two tennis courts, girls are 3sked
to sign for the court by the hour.
This will give more people an op-
portunity to use the courts and
will also prevent long periods of
waiting.

Everyone who uses the tennis
courts is required to wear tennis
shoes. All Agnes Scott students
must wear the regulation gym

Mortar Board Announces 12;
McCain Speaks for Ceremony

By Ann Boyer

President James R. McCain's telling of some of the achieve-
ments of Mortar Board during its life on the Agnes Scott
campus in chapel Saturday preceded the announcement by
Cama Clarkson, outgoing -chapter president, of the 1950-51
members of the national honor society for senior women.
They are Noel Barnes, president;

Mary Hayes Barber, Su Boney,
Julie Cuthbertson, Anna DaVault
Sally Lou Dickert, B. J. Foster,
Nena Hale, Charlotte Key, Bar-
bara Quattlebaum, M a r j o r i e
Stukes, and Marie Woods.

Mortar Board on the Agnes
Scott campus began 34 years ago
as HOASC, whose main purpose
was service. In 1931, HOASC ap-
plied for and acquired a charter
in Mortar Board. Through the
years 427 Agnes Scott girls have
been members.

Dr. McCain named many of the
varied achievements of Mortar
Board, some of which are the in-
itial support of the annual junior
banquet, parties for freshmen,
sophomores, and transfers, and
one of the organizers of Cotillion
club, Social Standards commit-
tee, and the vocational guidance
program.

Some of the campaigns which
have helped the material devel-
opment of Agnes Scott were ini-
tiated by Mortar Board. The
honors program, the music major,
the philosophy department, and
the survey course in Bible were
all encouraged by the organization.

Atlantan Noel Barnes, presi-
dent, whose election was announc-
ed earlier, has been a represen-
tative to executive committee for
two years and last year was secre-
tary of Student government.

Next year's president of Chris-
tian association, Mary Hayes Bar-
ber, from Pittsboro, North Caro-
lina, was class president her fresh-
man year. She has served on
C. A. council and cabinet, was
secretary of Pi Alpha Phi this
year, and has been on Lecture as-
sociation.

A transfer from Arkansas Col-
lege as a sophomore, Su Boney
was elected vice president of C. A.
for next year. While at Arkansas
she was feature editor of the news-
paper. Since she has been here
she has been a member of <2. A.

cabinet and Eta Sigma Phi and
president of Presbyterian
Westminster Fellowship. She now
lives in Decatur.

Julie Cuthbertson, from Char-
lotte, North Carolina, newly-elect-
ed president of Athletic associa-
tion, has been a member of C. A.
council and secretary of A. A.

New freshman advisor, Anna
DaVault, also from Charlotte, was
a representative to Lower house, a
member of Folio and the freshman
choir her freshman year, Worship
chairman of C. A. cabinet her
sophomore year, and treasurer of
C. A. this last year.

Another Atlantan is Sally Lou
Dickert, last year's treasurer of
Student government. She was
day student representative to
Lower house for two years.

Newly-elected editor of Silhou-
ette, B. J. Foster, Atlanta, was
assistant editor last year and a
member of the staff her sophomore
year. She was a member of the
class advisory committee her
freshman year, a member of
Blackfriars, and a junior spon-
sor. She is a member of Chi Beta

Agnes Scott Rolls Back Years
To Recline at Roman Banquet

Reclining on a couch in Roman togas and sandles, Agnes
Scott students and faculty members rolled back the centuries
Saturday night to attend a Roman 1 banquet complete with
slaves, entertainment, and the conventional plan of meal.

A slave greeted each guest at the door, ushering him to his
table where another slave re-

moved his sandles. After this, ap-
ple juice, deviled eggs and olives
were brought in. Then entertain-
ers Hunt Morris, Twig Hertwig,
Clairelis Eaton, and Miss Ellen
Douglass Leyburn, associate pro-
fessor of English, played
melodies on flutes; William Calder,
professor of physics and astron-
omy, presented a program of harp
selections. Tumblers Barbara
Brown and Dot Rollins also per-
formed their antics. Next Miss
Elizabeth Zenn, assistant profes-
sor of classical languages and
literature, gave two Latin read-
ings. During tnis time, the slaves
served fried chicken, asparagus,
cheese, and bread.

Later, a Roman chorus line with
slaves Mary Lee Hunnicut, Anita
Coyne, Nell Dalberg, and Martha
Weakley, danced in honor of the
occasion. Raisinf, peanuts, pears,

and apples were brought in before
the "sacred" libation. Miss Kath-
ryn Glick, professor of classical
languages and literature, pour-
ed the libations. Wreaths of ivy
were distributed before the "sa-
cred wine" grape juice and gin-
ger ale was drunk.

After the feast, the guests and
slaves sang two Latin songs. The
slaves helped replace the sandles
of the guests, rz the centuries
] oiled back again. Tl e people de-
parted from the caiid>e-lit room in-
to a modern w~:id minus a toga
crd a slave.

Drifting Log Jam

A drifting log is no one's friend. Rather, it is a possible
implement of destruction for those whose boat may come
near. Yet many of us seem to be preparing for a life of drift-
ing and i dissatisfaction.

Now, not tomorrow, is the time to channel a life, tentative-
ly to choose a vocation. The future all too quickly becomes
the present, when the tide of life beyond "the sheltering
arms" will make us drift unless we have a purpose strong
enough to enable us to resist it. ^

There must be a purpose for the four years spent in college,
one beyond simply study and acquiring learning or just hav-
ing fun. These should be merely means to an end the end
of becoming a force for progress and creation rather than one
of destruction not a ^drifting log, but a well-equipped, well-
guided boat to which others may look for help. C. K.

Administration Offers Students
Vocational Guidance Program

Help and assistance are available for anyone who is trying to
decide on a vocation for post-college years. Agnes Scott
freshmen are welcomed to the campus with talks about voca-
tions in the orientation program, and throughout the year
other helps are offered.

Each year career conferences
are sponsored by the Alumnae as-
sociation, and the committee
makes a special effort to bring
consultants who are in varied
fields. Any student may inter-
view the speakers privately. Fre-
quently vocational interest tests
are given which help the student
find where her preferences are.

The newest occupational guid-
ance aid on campus is a section in
the library devoted to careers. On
the table to the right of the desk
is placed the most recent material
on job opportunities for women.
Some weeks the pamphlets and
current papers or books may cover
different careers, but often they
deal with only one and offer
much information which delves
deep into this particular field.

Seniors may be puzzled as to
what their four college years have
meant in preparation for a future
job, and juniors may wonder how
to wind up a well-rounded college
curriculum. Sophomores need help
and advice in selecting a major,
and freshmen need to know where
their interests and capabilities lie
so they may plan for their college
years. For further information,

istrar and dean of the faculty, or

Girls Practice
Gome-Leading
In Gym Class

By Clairelis Eaton

The sixty girls in Miss Llewellyn
Wilburn's recreational leadership
class have just learned that
Brownies are not chocolate cook-
ies, but are "pint - sized" Girl
Scouts on whom the students
could practice their newly acquir-
ed skills. The members of the
class discovered this when Mar-
gie Stukes' troop came visiting in
order to allow the girls to try
out their "game playing" tech-
niques. And to show that they
are not restricting their leader-
ship abilities to "ladies only" the
girls invited MEN to visit them.
The boys were awfully cute, but
there was one drawback they
were only five years old. Maybe
in fifteen years . . .

Gracious Leading

Visitors such as these are not
uncommon in the very popular
gym class. The hour usually
starts with a sing. Sally Veale
or anyone else interested in song
leading keeps the tunes going.
Then the classes begin. There are
games, crafts supervised by Liza
Pollard, party planning, and
square dancing. Any girl who is
interested in a particular type of
game or sport may lead the group.

'Most of the students enrolled
in the class have done or plan to
do church, playground, Camp Fire
girl or Girl Scout leadership work;
and the course is designed to give
training in adapting oneself to a
group of any age or type.

For those who are especially
interested in camp work, a cook-
out will be held. Mrs. J. C. Har-
ris, Atlanta Girl Scout day-camp
coordinator, will join the class for
two days to help plan and prepare
an outdoor meal.

Pretty soon there will be peo-
ple on campus who will know how
to roast something besides a
weiner. And since those men we
were talking about won't be avail-
able for fifteen years, the girls
will probably learn to chop down
a tree with a hatchet.

Millsaps Singers
To Perform Friday

Millsaps College in Jackson,
Mississippi, will present the Mill-
saps Singers in a concert at the
Decatur Methodist Church on Fri-
day, April 21, at 8 p. m. The Sing-
ers are under the direction of Mr.
Alvin Jon King. They are mak-
ing their seventeenth spring tour,
which includes concerts in Cleve-
land, Nashville, Chattanooga, and
other cities.

The mixed group of about 55
sings most of its numbers a cap-
ella. While in Decatur, the Sing-
ers will make an album of rec-
ords through the cooperation of
the Protestant Radio Center in
the basement of Presser Hall.

Jones Befriends Darkness
In Rounds After Midnight

By Helen Land

"One acquainted with the night" is Mr. Jones. From sun-
down to sunup he is conscious of its movements, lights, and
noises. On his long walks fcfter midnight, he has time to
think and to be what his title implies a night-watchman.

R. M. Jones became nightwatchman during the depression.
Only twenty-five years old and

for a time without a uniform, he
remembers when one of the girls
met him in the hall rather late
and, surprised, said, "What! You
still hanging around?"

Recently he spent two years in
the Fire Department before re-
turning to 'his job here. A rest-
less and energetic person, he en-
joys his night walks. When he
finishes making his rounds after
midnight, he sits in tfie Dean's
office and reads. In this way, he
keeps informed and busy.

Making dates leave Mr. Jones
does not regard as a real problem.
Patience is the answer he thinks
a tactic learned with his own
teen-age son and daughter.

Mr. Jones likes his association
with young people. He says they
keep him feeling young and hav-
ing "young ways." The responsi-
bility of having them in his charge
he considers a worthwhile job
one giving him a true sense of ac-
complishment.

Whatever his job may be, it is
never dull; even the excitement is
varied. One night he was sitting
in the Dean's office and heard
squeals and commotion above his
head. He ran outside to call up
to the room just in time to see
the screen fall from the window.
He hurried down the hall and en-
countered Miss Groseclose. To-
gether, they rushed to the room
where they found a young chip-

association for Agnes Scott's con-
tribution to the fund.

even increasing need of their col-
leagues abroad.

generosity when I send heartfelt
thanks for this contribution ..."

You-AUing Agnes Scoffers
Aid KA Confederate Army

By DOT RING

Sun, the South rose again last week-end in a mighty insurrection
staged by the Georgia Tec'h, Emory, and University of Georgia chap-
ters of the Kappa Alpha order, and aided by a score of lovely South-
ern/belles, many of them being stray-aways from the sheltering arms
of Agnes Scott.

The city of Atlanta was infested with Confederate soldiers boasting
beards, sideburns, and sabers, and with Southern gentlemen attired
in their most vivid cutaway coats and ruffled collars. Accompanying
this assemblage of young dandies were some of the most honey-tongued,
"you-alling" beauties in the entire South.

The Stars and Bars, rebel yells, and "Dixie" set the pace for the
first Kappa Alpha "Old South" celebration to be held in Atlanta.
Beginning Saturday morning with a parade on Peachtree street which
was climaxed by a proclamation of secession on the Lawns of the
State Capitol, the week-end was literally overflowing with glamour
and excitement. Agnes Scott contributions to the parade were
Virginia Arnold, Flo Kibler, Sara Samonds, Taffy
Merrill, and Doris Clingman. Defying the weatherman's frigid scowl
on this impulsive rebellion, the girls donned their frilliest frills, largest
picture hats, and fullest hoop skirts to cheer the event.

Following the parade, the Tech and Emory KA's held open house.
Belles and beaux strolled through their fraternity mansions and
gardens during the afternoon praising the Confederacy and damning
the Yankees.

Gen. Lee Chaperones Rebels

Saturday evening an Old South Ball was held in the Starlight Room
at the Municipal auditorium. The decorations featured magnolias
and a moonlight effect, achieved by a blue and gold satin ceiling. A
large portrait of Gen. Robert E. Lee hung at one end of the au-
ditorium, chaperoning the rebels' activities. Sonny Dunham's orches-
tra furnished music from the porch of a mock Colonial-columned
mansion.

The greatest thrill of the night was experienced by Ann Parker, who
was introduced during the intermission as the date of Bobby Flournoy,
a representative from the Emory chapter. Ann was charming in a
peach satin dress adorned with panniers.

Helen Land was demure in a yellow dotted swiss formal, Flo Kibler
wore a fuschia net gown with a tiered skirt ornamented by small rose-
buds, Gerry Keef wore a pink ruffled organdy, and Jeanne Junker
portrayed the Old South in a blue satin-brocaded dress revealing a pink
ruffled petticoat.

Black enhanced the blonde beauty of Bet .Linton, while Betty Moon
was charming in blue marquisette trimmed in cerise. Jane Hook and
Libby Shontz both wore lavendar and Virginia Arnold and Millie
Allison chose blue organdy gowns. Diddie Sells looked stunning in a
navy blue and red marquisette, June Carpenter was lovely in a blue
satin strapless, Mif Martin and Martha Fortson wore white formals,
and Sara Samonds, an aqua marquisette over taffeta.

Other enchanting Scotties in their pantalets and tremendous hoops
were Virginia Dunn, Jane Hambrick, Doris Clingman, Barbie Lawso^,
Phyllis Galphin, Ann Haden, Carol Jacob, Mary Cline, Laurie Wanna-
maker, Ann Miller, Ann Jones, Roberta Williams, Chris Allen, Virginia
Claire Hays, Ann Potts, Adele Thompson, and Flossie Williamson.

Although insurrections seemed to be the order of the week-enft,
Twig Hertwig and Henry Hayes established a union. They were pin-
ned Saturday night. m

Blackfriars Scenery Workers
Prepare Props for 'Pygmalion 7

By Charline Tritton

Lights, costumes, action! The technical staff of the Black-
friars production, "Pygmalion," which will be presented
April 20 and 21, is at work. Eliza Pollard is stage and scenery
manager; Frances Smith, property chairman; Ann Griggs,
chairman of the lights committee; Anne Brooke, costum^
chairman; Marijean Alexander

needed props are all set in order;
the curtain closes; 'each girl has
her particular job according to a
specific schedule and diagram
two people on a table, three people
on a sofa, one to open the door and
then rush back to the end of the
line to bring in a chair; one person

one more climbing up the brick

makeup; and Mary Jo Chapman,
sound effects.

This year the scenery committee
has no assistants from the stage
carpentry company in Atlanta;
and the girls are having to mix
the paint themselves and get their
own powdered temper, Muresco
(wall paint), and glue. They have
to carry their flats down to the
basement of Presser to paint them,
and then carry them back up again
when they finish. They have to
recounterweight the backdrops
themselves. ,

The first scene, set in the Por-
tico at St. Paul's church, calls for
columns; the girls have to concoct
their own out of chicken wire,
plywood, and canvas, helped only
by the school carpenter who saws
out the plywood circles for them.

The stage setters, likewise, are
in a dither. It seems that the
modern tendency is to have one
act plays; people do not like to
look at closed curtains between
acts. "Pygmalion" is a five act
play; and therefore the stage
crew, in consideration ^or modern
feelings, is only allowed three
minutes between acts.

The stage crew lines up; the

Dolphin Club Swims to Rhythm
In Grand Tour Around World

By Sally Veale

Paris Vienna Russia Japan South America
does it sound like a Grand Tour? Truly, Agnes Scotters are
unusual people; not only do they go all around the world, but
they manage to cover all this territory in the water! And
what's more, this journey took place right in the 'pool of the

Seniors Continue Underfeated;
Sophomores Trounce Juniors

By Esther Adler

Perched in the newly-constructed bleachers, a small group
of spectators witnessed the undefeated senior softball team
continue its record by downing the spirited freshman team
12-9 in a four-inning match. In the second game Winnie
Strozier, doing an excellent pitching job for the sophomores,
limited the juniors to two runs.

vvhile the sophs piled, up thirteen.

The fres'hmen won the choice
and took the field first. The
seniors got off to a powerful
start by scoring five runs in the
first inning and then holding the
freshmen scoreless in the bottom
half of the first. The second in-
ning gave each team two runs.
The freshmen revived somewhat
in the third inning, shutting out'
the seniors in the top half and
scoring four runs during their
turn at bat. The senior team
connected again in the fourth in-
ning and diminished the frosh
chances of catching up by placing
them six runs behind. The three
runs scored by the frosh in their
last inning were not enough to pre-
vent the senior victory.

team were Mary Louise Warlick,
pitcher (2); Barbie Lawson, cat^
cher (1); Cathie Davis, first base

(1) ; Virginia Skinner, second
base (1); Alline Marshall, third
base (2) ; Todd McCain, short stop

(2) ; Pat Overton, right field;

Genie Paschal, left field (3) ; Mar-
ie Heng, substitute.

Freshmen players were Mary
Beth Robinson, pitcher (2); Ann
Baxter, catcher (1); Frances

Cook, first base; Ann Potts, sec-
ond base (1); Betty McLellan,
third base; Laurie Wannamaker,
short stop; Ann Thomson, right
field (1); Mary Evans, center
field (1); Peggy Ann Harper,
left field (2); and Joan Riley,
substitute (1).

Holding forth for the juniors
were Esther Adler, pitcher (1);
Jackie Sue Messer, catcher; Jen-
elle Spear, first base; Nena Hale,
second base; Twig Hertwig, third
base (1); Mary Anna Ogden, short
stop; Julie Cuthbertson, right
field; Chris Allen, center field;
Mary Louise Mattison, left field;
and Betty Williams and Barbara
Quattlebaum, substitutes.

ty Freeman, first base; Ann Her-
man, second base (1); Kitty Cur-
rie, third base (2); Jane Wind-

Faith And Action

"A burning and fighting faith" in freedom, Secretary of
State Dean Acheson has named the prerequisite to taking ac-
tion to maintain such freedom. Hand in hand with a faith
must go a willingness to have "total diplomacy" the willing-
ness to realize that action on both foreign and domestic ques-
tions determine the nation's welfare.

Do we as citizens of one of the freest nations in the world
today really think of what this freedom means or do we
merely take it for granted? And do we realize that those who
have been elected as our representatives are jeopardizing the
country's welfare by acting only from a vote-getting motive.
Yet can we blame them entirely? Whose votes are they trying
to get if not ours? And if we do not vote at all, we, as sup-
posedly enlightened citizens, are automatically working
against all that might lead to a more satisfactory government.

Elections are little more than six months away. Those who
are running for office have been making their records for
months, even years. If we start now, though, to investigate
candidates' records and professed aims, we may possibly still
be able to cast a vote that will count toward progress.

For those of us who were born a few years too late, there
is still lacking a real belief in freedom that we may supply.
Then, too, the 1952-56 president, whoever he may be, is
probably already working within the machinery of govern-

Welfare State Forms Subject
Of College Women's Discussion

By Charlotte Bartlett

Saturday morning, April 15, found 55 students from Amer-
ican women's colleges and universities dropping campus pre-
occupations in favor of the more serious question of "The
Welfare State in a Free Society," the question entertained by
the "Mademoiselle" Forumr in New York under the sponsor-
ship of Street and Smith pub- 1 , _

facts. Thus the federal government

must undertake the right grant-
ed in the Constitution to help its
citizens. This issue of welfarism
is mainly an economic one, and
those who fear a loss of freedom
through the extension of a feder-
al program have only to consider
the natural system of checks and
balances.

Gordon Clap, chairman of the
TVA and a member of the
United Nations Economic Survey
Mission for the Middle East gave
the luncheon address on "The Wel-
fare State and Foreign Policy."

Mr. Clapp said that many of
the same issues in our own coun-
try are paralleled in many nations
in the East. Our age is one in
which we can no longer ignore
what happens in distant regions
for it affects us, too. In our ap-
proach to other countries there
are certain obstacles to be over-
come such as lack of capital, bases
for cooperation, availability of
technical competence, and the de-
velopment of a state of mind which
will produce a willingness to trade.
Welfare Experiments
The discussion of "The Welfare
State Outside the United States"
was led by John Jessup of "For-
tune" magazine who talked about
the welfare state experiment in
Great Britain and Marquis Childs,
author of "The Middle Way," who
told of a similar experiment in
Scandinavia.

Marshall MacDuffie summarized
the Forum with the story " about
the flying dutchman who never
came into any port. The members
of the Forum had come to no def-
inite conclusion but had explored
many aspects of the problem and
had had the opportunity to ex-
change ideas an essential in
working out any effective solution.

ian," Western Washington Col-
lege, Bellimzham, Wash).

If you have nothing better to do
here is a little self-analysis quiz
which may give you a few point-
ers on your personality. On the
other hand, it may be a waste of
time. Depends on your point of
view

1. Do* you feel that your friends
hate you?

2. Do you hate your friends?

3. Have you ever attempted
suicide?

4. Did you succeed?

5. Do you cheat at cards?

6. Do you get caught? (If not,
mail a detailed description of
your method to the Agnes Scott
News)

7. Are you easily hurt?

8. Are you paying attention?

9. Know any good jokes?

10. Let's hear one.

11. I said GOOD!

12. Do you enjoy sleeping?

13. Do you live at school?
(If you answered "yes" to ques-
tion 12 you may omit question
13.)

14. Are you getting tired of
this?'

15. All right, all right!

Now score two points for every
"yes" answer and subtract one
for "no." If your score is 25 or
more you have personality type
"A" You enjoy things that you
like, but things that you dislike
you have no use for. You feel at-
tracted to the opposite sex and
are apt to like syrup on your pan-
cakes. Your interests are likely
to lie in politics and spiked punch.
People of type "A" make good
basket weavers, clergymen, and
blackjack dealers.

If your score totals five or be-
low you belong to type "B." You
appreciate the higher things in
life like James Joyce and Caviar.
Unlike type "A" you may prefer
jelly on your pancakes. Your
tastes run to conservative clothes
and Hershey's kisses. You will
tend to philosophize about life
and worry about why Newton
didn't move his head before the
apple fell on it. Members of type
"B" are often found in account-
ing, teaching, and jail.

If your score places you in
neither of the two above types,
try it again and maybe you'll get
a score we can work with.

lishers.

Miss Nancy Garouett, editor of
the "College Board," said the pur-
pose of the Forum was "... to
give the American youth the op-
portunity to probe every new idea
and to question every statement
made by our principal speakers."
Miss Garouett introduced
Marshall MacDuffie, an out-
standing economist and chairman
of the Forum. He then presented
the first speaker of the morning,
Elmo Roper, a public opinion
analyst on the staff of "Fortune"
magazine, who spoke on "What Is
Meant by the Welfare State."
Three Economies
Mr. Roper began by telling of
the three different types of econ-
omy the police state, individual
socialism, and free enterprise. He
maintained that a measure of wel-
farism exists in all three econo-
mies. According to Roper, there
are five main hazards in our so-
ciety of today, of which we must
remain aware. They are disease,
ignorance squalor, idleness, and
want. Some welfare exponents are
in favor of attacking all phases of
want, while others believe that if
all of these hazards were averted
by the government, private ini-
tiative might be destroyed. This
was another of Mr. Roper's points.

Arthur Holcombe of the govern-
ment department of Harvard uni-
versity was the second speaker
of the "Mademoiselle" Forum. He
gave a short history of the promo-
tion of the general welfare in the
United States. Mr. Holcombe de-
fined welfare power as "promoting
public interests, spending public
money for the benefits of particu-
lar persons at the service of cer-
tain persons." Girls from the Uni-
versity of Southern California,
New Jersey College for Women,
Columbia university, Connecticut
College, Purdue university,
Swarthmore College, Sarah Law-
rence College, Northwestern uni-
versity, Wheaton university, Uni-
versity of Michigan, University of
Wisconsin, and Agnes Scott fired
such questions as, "Is there a dan-
ger of a dictatorship as the gov-
ernment takes over more and more
power?" and "What are the im-
plications of welfare in state gov-
ernment?"

How Far To Go

About 11 a. m. the Forum dele-
gates were approaching the third
principal topic "How Far Should
Government Go in Promoting the
General Welfare?" Oren Root, for-
mer vice-president of the New
York Young Republican club ga^ve
his party's point of view on the
subject. Mr. Root commented
that the Democrats" believe that
the centralization of power is the
obvious method of solving prob-
lems; whereas the Republicans be-
lieve that individuals should as-
sume the responsibility. The way
to meet social problems is on a
local and state level and only on a
national level as a last resort.

Paul Porter, former adminis-
trator of the OPA, presented the
idea of the Democrats. His rec-
ommendation for welfare meas-
ures was the past record and ex-
perience in the areas where gov-
ernment has operated. He felt
that people are living in an age of
neuroses and are unwilling to face

Band Bee-Bops Into Memories
Of Juniors at Annual Banquet

By Dot Ring

"The Troubadours'" rendition of "Rag Mop" added the
exact spice necessary to make last Saturday evening one of
sheer enchantment for most members of the junior class. At
the dance following the banquet which the juniors gave in
celebration of their coming sophistication of seniorhood, the
Negro band bee-bopped and waltz-
ed its way, into the dreams of ap-
proximately 60 couples attending
the event.

Preceding the dance, a meal
featuring roast turkey and dress-
ing, creamed cauliflower, shrimp
cocktail, and angel food cake a
la mode was served in the new
dining room against a background
of chamber music. Before en-
tering the banquet room, the jun-
iors introduced their tuxedo-at-
tired dates to a receiving line
composed of faculty members and
their wives and Virginia Arnold,
class president.

Decorations carrying out a
theme of "April Showers" were
used in each of the entertainments.
The sheet music covered one wall
of the dining hall, while pink um-
brellas and green top hats marked
the places of each couple. At the
coffee given by Mortar Board
members after the dinner, cats
and dogs and violets were raining
in Murphey Candler. Spring flow-
ers and crepe paper motifs com-
pleted the decorations.

Gay College Formats Attract
Gals From Sheltering Arms

By FLO KIBLER, Guest Editor

From the sheltering arms the Agnes Scotters poured en masse for
week-end visits to the four points of the compass.

Davidson's Spring Frolics attracted Betty Holland, Bet Linton,
Ann (Dalton) Jones, and Martha Norton, while Ellie McCarty, Sylvia
Moutos, and Barbara Brown participated in festivities at the Univer-
sity of Georgia's gala Little Commencement. Marilyn Michie really
covered ground on her mid-quarter excursion to Princeton and New
York. Dot Ring was our sole representative at the exciting Stardust
Ball given by the University of Chattanooga Kappa Sigs, Ruth Whiting,
Dorothy Jean Harrison, Patt Martin, Martha Weakley, and Jane Wil-
liams decided there actually is no place like home and made their re-
spective family abodes their week-end's goal.

Flocking onto our campus were numerous visitors to fill the vacuum
created by the exodus of our "rambling" Aggies. The juniors' banquet
attracted men by the dozen. Charity Bennett's Watt was down from
Davidson. Betty Mobley's Bobby came over from Auburn as did Sara
Sammond's Powell. Nena Hale hailed Bob from Alabama and Julie
Cuthbertson welcomed Ed from Greensboro. Frances Pat Patterson's
mother was here visiting. Vaughn McAllister was in town from
Greensboro, N. C, to see Cornelia Dickerson. Ann Boyer's Lamar
came down from t'he University of Tennessee. Gwen Johnson and
Katherine Gentry had visitors from Sumter, S. C.

The ever entertaining Tech and Emory fraternities were at their
best last week-end. The Tech Sigma Chi's gave a marvelous dance at
East Lake Country Club. According to Jo Jordan, Mary Jane Largen,
Vivian Weaver, Jane Hill, Betty Williams, and Margaret Hopkins, the
Sigs' dancing was divine. White roses are the traditional flower for
the Sigma Nu's formal, given this year in the Dinkier Room at the
Ansley Hotel. Agnes Scotters on whom these beautiful corsages were
bestowed were Jerry Keef, Martha Fortson, Jean Hansen, Carrie Blan-
sit, and Sarah Hancock.

"What a wonderful party," say Dotty Allison, Susan Gauger, and
Beverly Olson of the Emory Chi Phi's Spring formal at Peachtree
Gardens. A post ball game party given by the Emory ATO's for their
victors, the Sigma Nu's, proved fun for Jean Junker, Susan Hancock,
Mary Birmingham, Libby Shontz, and Dot Duckworth. Dancing at the
Emory SAE house were Margie Orr, who, incidentally, has just
accepted a pin from one of the brothers. Kitty Freeman and Margie
Thomason also enjoyed the party.

As prelude to the houseparty season Which is just around the corner,
Lillian Beall entertained Margaretta Lumpkin, Mif Martin, and their
dates at the Bealls' home at Lake Mont. Big news! Anne Craig is to
be married May 12. She was given a shower by Lil and Pat Thompson.

Batters Up

Sophs Down Seniors 12-8;
Juniors Defeat Frosh 23-13

By Esther Adler

Amid clear skies and a cool breeze, the sophomores defeat-
ed the threatening seniors 12-8, while the juniors downed the
freshmen 23-13 in a last inning score-fest.

The outstanding feature of the sophomore-senior game (be-
sides the antics of the neighborhood canines) was Alline Mar-
shall's exercising her habit of pick-

ing off her opponents on third
base. At least four sophomores
were put out in this manner, and
three or four close decisions of
''safe" were given at this vital
base.

In the second game the fresh-
men were hopeful of victory until
the last inning when the juniors
seemed to come back to life, re-
tiring the freshmen with no runs
in the top half of the last inning
and piling up 15 runs during their
last chance at bat.

Playing for the sophs were Win-
nie Strozier, pitcher (1); Jeannine
Byrd, catcher (3); Ann Herman,
first base (1); Mattie Hart, sec-
ond base (2); Ann Boyer, third
base (1); Jane Windham, short
stop; Kitty Freeman, right field
(2); Charlotte Allsmiller, center
field (2); and June Carpenter,
left field.

On the senior team were Mary
Louise Warlick, pitcher (1); Bar-
bie Dawson, catcher; Frankie Mor-
ris, first base; Cathie Davis, sec-
ond base (2); Alline Marshall,
third base (1) ; Todd McCain, short
stop (1); and Genie Paschal, left
field (2). Frankie Howerton sub-
stituted.

The junior line-up included Es-
ther Adler, pitcher (5); Jackie
Sue Messer, catcher (2); Nena
Hale, first base (4) ; Liza Pollard,

Memories of High School Days
Will Capture Campus Saturday

By B. J. Sharpe

This week-end Agnes Scotters and older guests on campus
will have an opportunity, to bring memories of high school
friends, teachers, and experiences back into the limelight;
because once more High School day is rolling around. This
Saturday approximately 150 seniors from high schools in At-
lanta and vicinity will be on cam-

pus.

High School day is one of Agnes
Scott's traditions. When it was
first begun it was a separate day,
set apart in the early Spring, but
for the past few years it has been
on May Day. )

At about 12 p. m., Saturday,
these prospective Agnes Scott stu-
dents, Who have each received a
personal invitation from fresh-
men, will begin to arrive. With
the class of '53 as their hostesses,
they will begin the afternoon by
getting name-tags from Murphey
Candler, so they may be recog-
nized on campus.

By 1 p. m., all should be prop-
erly welcomed and "tagged," and
they will go to the cafeteria for
lunch, after which they will
tour the campus. In-
cluded in this tour will be a visit
to the new Observatory, with W.
A. Calder, professor of physics and
astronomy, in charge of a short
scientific demonstration. Then at
3:30 p. m., they will go to the

gymnasium for a Dolphin club ex-
hibition.

By this time, many feet will
probably be weary; so, Miss Doris
Sullivan, alumnae representative,
has arranged a program and re-
freshments for the guests in Mur-
phey Candler. The freshmen will
give a skit in pantomime, and the
freshman choir will entertain.

As a grand Finale to an after-
noon full of new experiences for
the high school seniors, everyone
will congregate in the May Day
dell for the annual May Day pro-
gram. This will end their pre-
lude to Agnes Scott, and the guests
will bid "adieu" with promises to
see them again soon, not as high
school seniors, but as Agnes Scott
freshmen.

In charge of the program and
entertainment for High School
day are Miss Sullivan, Miss Betty
Bowman, assistant to the dean of
students, and the freshman class.
Mortar Board members will also
help.

Dr. Sentelle established the schol-
arship in honor of his sister, Mrs.
Houghton. The recipient is select-
ed by a committee of the adminis-
tration. Last year she was Cama
Clarkson, now a senior and the
1949-50 president of Mortar Board.

Frances, iWho is a junior day
student from Atlanta, has been
asked to read for honors and has
made the honor roll every year
it has been announced.

Soph Pianists Start
Keyboard Kapers

Sally Veale and Jane Windham,
sophomores, have a new radio pro-
gram, "Keyboard Kapers," which
is broadcast over station WGLS
Decatur every Sunday night at
7 p. m. They play duet arrange-
ments of standard favorites.

On Saturday, April 22, they pre-
sented a half-hour musical pro-
gram for the all-day cancer ra-
dio drive. The all-day program
was the production of six inde-
pendent stations around Atlanta.

Aqnes Scoff" News Wins
'50 All-American Award

The Agnes Scott News has just
received the All-American rating,
the highest i\cn, for the papers
published in 1949-50 under the
editorship of Dot Medlock Bond.

The rating is based on scoring
by the Associated Collegiate Press.
Of the 925 school newspapers en-
tered in the class, only seven were
awarded this top rating.

awarded to Kitty Freeman.

Speaker for the ceremony was
Henry A. Robinson, professor of
mathematics. Using II Peter 1:1-
11 as his Scripture, he explained
the four mathematics principles
in the chapter. Mr. Robinson con-
tinued by giving a resume of the
history of Chi Beta Phi on the Ag-
nes Scott campus. The group was
formed by uniting two clubs al-
ready on campus, the Science club
and the Agnesi club, a mathe-
matics organization.

Hachtel Awards Key

Freddie Hachtel, president of
Chi Beta Phi, made the awards.
The key went to Sarah as an "in-
terested and active worker" in
the honorary science organization.
She has been a member of Chi
Beta Phi, Mortar Board, and Phi
Beta Kappa. In addition to be-
ing editor of the Silhouette for
the past year, she was also elected
to "Who's Who in American Col-
leges and Universities."

The scholarship fund was start-
ed by some of the classmates of
Jodele Tanner, '45, who died soon
after her graduation from Agnes
Scott. Chi Beta Phi took over
the project, and the money has
been collected through the Alum-
nae association. This is the first
year the scholarship has been giv-
en. The award is made to the
rising junior or senior who is well-
rounded in her scholastic work and
shows particular excellence in sci-
ence.

Kitty, a sophomore who is ma-

joring in biology, is from La-
Grange, Georgi'a. She was recent-
ly elected assistant editor of Sil-
houette, and was a freshman rep-
resentative to executive commit-
tee.

Sea Creatures To Perform in May Day Dell
Saturday For Court Of Queen Deryl Crews

Visitors to the May Day dell this Saturday at 5 p. m. will not
only be by the sea, but will gaze into the sea. The scenario
will be presented before Queen Beryl and her court. Carla,
Bess Lundeen, and Paul, Margaret Evins, are visitors to the
deep and soon find themselves surrou nded by all kinds of
sea creatures. Besides Diane Mor-

ris, Spirit of the sea, there are
little fish Jimmie Lee Cobble, Bet-
ty Libbey, and Ann Parker; clams
Carolyn Galbreath, Lillian Beall,
Pat Williams, and Mary Stubbs;
and crabs Marijean Alexander,
Kassie Simmons, and Pat Thoma-
son. And there's that little spiny
fish, Cissie Spiro. These crea-
tures live among waves, coral,
and seaweed. Carla and Paul have
many frightening experiences with
them before they are finally res-
cued by their friends, the vil-
lagers.

In the background of this sea
life will be an orchestra using es-
pecially the music of Grieg and
Debussy. Playing will be Char-
lotte Key, harpist; Mrs. Henry
A. Robinson, Miss Florence Smith,
and Miriam Runyon, violinists;
Kitty Loemker, cellist; William
A. Calder, professor of physics
and astronomy, viola player; and
Mrs. John Espy, pianist.

Garden Fount
To Get Figure

Mrs. A. E. Johns, Garden com-
mittee chairman, announces the
purchase of a new figure for the
fountain in the pool of the Alum-
nae gardens. The necessary funds
to cover this purchase have been
provided by the class of 1931 and
the Garden committee.

The replacement has been nec-
essary ever since the present fig-
ure was beheaded during a cold
snap three years ago by an "over-
solieitous" student who was try-
ing to scrape the ice off its nose.

The new figure will arrive^ in
time for the annual dessert-coffee
given by the alumnae for seniors,
parents, and faculty on the Sun-
day night of commencement week-
end. It is to face the rose trellis
and the dining hall.

A Broken Pledge

The amount of theft which has been sweeping the campus
this year is both shocking and depressing. Upon entering
Agnes Scott each student makes a personal pledge "to uphold
the regulations of the Association and live up to the spirit of
its laws, not only in academic work but also in every phase of
college life." Assuming possession of other people's property
is not living up to this pledge.

We feel a certain pride in the success Student government
leaders achieve in guiding the College community. This pride
cannot include the tolerance of such dishonorable acts as
thievery.

It is not, however, the obligation of the executive committee
of Student government to solve this problem. It is the respon-
sibility of each student as a member of Student government
to take an active part in ridding the college of this menace.

For the welfare of the community as well as the offending
individual or individuals, some solution must be found for
this dishonesty. D. R.

Decide For Yourself

"Do something, even if it's wrong/' Although there are
many flaws in this well-worn saying, it expresses a trait that
we must have before we can become mature members of so-
ciety, A decision, even about petty things, gives strength of
mind. We must learn to weigh both sides of a question and
then make up our minds one way* or another, although we
may later find that the decision was not the wisest one.

t When; there is an important decision to make, look for the
opinions of others if you wish; but think the problem out.
Then, with the help of God and your own integrity, choose
the course that you think leads to your ultimate goal; at least
choose a course.

We must learn to depend upon our knowledge of right and
wrong to guide us in decisions. No decision at all will only
bring our problem back twice as big the next day. A. B.

Mid-Century Shadows

Hoover Suggests Organization
For Democratic Nations Only

By Cissie Spiro

The problem of the United Nations has again been opened
for discussion. Herbert Hoover told the American Press
association that the United States and all other democratic
countries ought to withdraw from the United Nations and
form a new world organization. Hoover condemned Russian
and all communistic interference
and|Stated that effective, lasting
action could not be achieved in
the UN under its present set-up.

Dr. Ralph Bunche, former UN
Palestine mediator, spoke at At-
lanta university last Sunday and
stressed the gains that the United
Nations had made in world peace
through faith in individuals. He
claimed that the UN tries to be
realistic in dealing with world
problems and has learned *to de-
pend upon the worth of individu-
als for world peace.

Meet Individuals

Dr. Bunche seems to feel that
if representatives of nations could
meet individuals, then peace could
be achieved. The example of
Bundle's work as Palestine medi-
ator served as a concrete sample
of the value of patience and per-
severance on the part of an indi-
vidual.

The faith of Dr. Bunche must be
used to balance the statements of
Herbert Hoover. Will the coali-
tions for World War III be the

Landmarks

Chickens 'n Heels-
Quiet Hour Melodies

By Helen Land

"Like chickens, like so many chickens/' she mused, "when
there's feed thrown in the pen. The telephone on a Monday
night. And quiet hour that's almost funny. No studying
in a dorm where heels clomped past the pasteboard doors
every two minutes, all kinds of heels. The machine gi^n-

only results of Hoover's new or-
ganization? If men like Bunche
devote themselves to international
peace through the United Nations
should we let anti-communist
thought take us into preparations
for war?

The state election campaigns
have started. For the Senate,
Smathers opposes Pepper in Flor-
ida; McLennan has recently an-
nounced that he will run against
72 - year - old George for
Georgia senator, and Thurmond
has entered the South Carolina
race against Johnson.

Not For Gl

ory

As this school year draws to a close, honors of all kinds are
being bestowed on those who have done a good job in their
field, whatever it may be. Some have attained honors for
outstanding scholarship, others for work in organizations.
And, as you've probably noticed, the honors always seem to
fall to a small group of girls.

Although we must admit that most of us aren't in that group,
we still shouldn't use this as an excuse for not putting out that
extra effort in whatever we do. After all ,the law of aver-
ages keeps everyone from being on top, but it doesn't mean
that everyone should remain on bottom.

Actually it makes little difference whether we receive hon-
ors when we personally know that we have done our best. As
we think of next year and all the responsibilities we will have,
both in academic work and in extracurricular activities, let's
not work with the idea of receiving honors, but with the idea
of doing the best we can. M. A. J.

'50 Job Outlook Seems Good
Says U. S. Labor Department

(From the U. S. Department of Labor)

With about 500,000 college students graduating this year
the largest number in our country's history the job outlook
for the new college graduates is generally good. It is not,
however, as good as in 1947 and 1948.

The outlook is clouded by three f actors-the large number
of graduates who will be seeking
jobs; a moderate increase in the
total number of unemployed per-

sons; and the filling of war-cre-
ated shortages of college gradu-
ates in some specialized fields by
the large graduating classes of
1948 and 1949.

Basically, the economy of the
country is strong and there is a
general concensus that production
and employment 'will remain high
during 1950. However, the big
problem facing the economy is
that of constantly providing more
goods and services and utilizing
fully a labor force that is growing
at the rate of 600,000 to 700,000
workers a year. Even if employ-
ment continues during 1950 at
about the same level as last year,
as it is expected to do, unemploy-
ment will increase, and jobs will be
harder to find.

The Basic Fact

Graduates seeking information
on expanding industries or sec-
tions of the country need to re-
member this basic fact most of
the jobs taken by this year's col-
lege graduates will be, as usual,
those which have been vacated by
other workers. Deaths and retire-
ments at the top of the occupa-
tional ladder create the largest
number of openings at the bottom.

Employment in certain parts of
the country is growing more rap-
idly than in others in the long-
run. This is true on the West
Coast, the South Atlantic region
and Texas. However, the supply
of workers in some of these areas
the West Coast for example
has increased more, rapidly than
job opportunities. Moreover, in
rural areas of the country gener-
ally, the need for workers in some
of the professional fields is great-
er than in cities.

Period of Competition

For many college graduates of
the class of 1950, the fact that
American industry is in a period
of intense competition for markets
will be the major reason for suc-
cess in finding employment.

Prospects for a job are excel-
lent in some occupations, indus-
tries, and areas. In others, where
wartime and postwar shortages
have now been filled, many gradu-
ates will find it difficult to get
jobs.

In teaching, for example, ithere
is at once an acute shortage of
personnel in the elementary
schools and a growing oversupply
at the high school level. For the
current school year, only one el-
ementary teacher was trained for
every three who were needed. On
the other hand, four times as many
students completed training for
high school teaching as were re-
quired.

Which stiff competition for jobs is
expected in the next few years in-
clude law, journalism, and per-
sonnel work. In chemistry, com-
petition will be keen during the
next few years 'among persons
without graduate training; ithe
outlook is better for those with
graduate degrees.

Liberal Arts Graduates
Liberal arts graduates with
work experience or specialized
training will find it easier to get
jobs than ithose with only a gener-
al undergraduate education.

Prospects for new entrants are
good in health service occupations.
There is a current shortage of
nurses, and demand for nursing
service will probably continue to
rise. Good opportunities are ex-
pected also for other occupational
groups important in health serv-
ice, such >as medical X-Ray tech-
nicians, medical laboratory tech-
nicians, dental hygienists, physical
therapists, occupational therajp-
ists, and dietitians.

Freshmen Review
Year's Progress
In Monday Chapel

"With a great deal of pride in
the class and its leaders," Jane
Newland, past president of the
freshman class, presented frosh
leaders in the various organiza-
tions to review the accomplish-
ments of the class of '53 during
its first year on the Agnes Scott
campus. The program was pre-
sented during Monday orientation
chapel last week.

Through the Christian associ-
ation-sponsored 1 '53 club, frosh
have had the opportunity to find
their place in something "need-
ful and fine," Margie Thomason,
former president, told the group.

Moving on to Athletic associa-
tion, Ann Baxter took the floor
and reported the frosh's sports
record. Besides the five hockey
sub-varsity members and the
freshmen on the basketball var-
sity team, the number of '53 play-
ers has been increased by addi-
tions to the rolls of athletic clubs.

Mary Lindsay, representative to
executive committee, reported on
'53'ers activities in Student gov-
ernment work. After the treasur-
er's report and the class song, the
frosh left Maclean facing a new
year "with a proud past" behind
them.

Green Fairways Cause Mind
To Wander About Golf Terms

By Jeanne Kline

About this time every year the mind of a golfer wanders out
to the green fairways of a rolling golf course, and he visions
himself knocking beautiful balls hither and yon on the fair-
ways. But for the average person the word golf means nothing

but a little stick, a minute ball, tired limbs, and many indefin-
able terms.

These terms are really not so im-
possible as they sound. For ex-
ample to "tee off" means that the
ball is placed on a vyooden peg at
the teeing ground for each hole,
then hit with a club that has a
wooden head on it. This is the
"drive."

After driving from the tee, the
golfer plays the ball from the
fairway, which is the rolling
ground between the tee and the
green. It may have hazards, such
as woods bordering it, a brook or
even a lake, and sand traps at the
edge of the green. If the ball
goes off this specified area, it is
called "in the rough."

Par-r-r Eagle!

Some other terms that may
seem unusual are "eagle," "par,"
"approach," and "putt." An eagle
is the term used when the. ball
driven from the tee drops into the
cup on the green. But this is quite
unusual for most amateur golfers.
Par is the number of normally
well-played strokes required to
play a hole, as determined by the
planned line of play. Naturally it
differs .with each hole.

The approach is the shot that is
made when the ball is only a short
distance from the green. It is
made with an iron-headed club,
and there is an attempt to loft
the ball. A putt is made on the
green, and is ithe attempt to drop
the ball in the cup. It is a soft,
easy shot with no attempt to loft
the ball.

Now with a little more know-
ledge of some of the terms that
are common ito golfers you may be
able to listen to the golfers on cam-
pus talk about their experiences
on the fairways.

Chorus Will Sing
In Concert May 9

The Special Chorus, under the
direction of Lewis H. Johnson, as-
sociate professor of music, will
make its final appearance May 9
at the meeting of the Atlanta Civ-
itan club -ait the Athletic club.

Although the Special Chorus
has sung for a great many civic
clubs, hospitals, conventions and
on other occasions, it has received
more invitations from the Civitans,
than any other club. In the last
fifteen years, it has sung four
times at Civitan International's
state convention.

It is particularly fitting that
the Chorus should make its lasit
engagement at the Civitan club
because its director is a member
of that organization, and also be-
cause the Civitans have been un-
usually hospitable to and interest-
ed in the chorus.

Hutchens Will Study Literature
At Oxford During Summer Trip

Miss Eleanor Hutchens, alumnae secretary, will join much
of the campus in going abroad this summer. She is going to
Oxford in England to continue her studies of English lit-
erature and expects to sail from New York June 23 aboard
the Queen Mary. She will remain in England for seven weeks,
six of which will be in school. Miss

Hutchens applied *for and received
acceptance through the Institute
of International Education, which
evaluates credits and selects stu-
dents for work in foreign colleges.

The first few days after she
docks and before school starts, she
hopes to see London. After the
session is out, Miss Hutchens plans
to travel in England for a few days
before she returns. She plans to
leave for America August 16.

The summer session theme will
be "Western Europe since 1810."
Lectures will be in the fields of

history, economics, philosophy, and
English, French, and German lit-
erature. Besides these lectures,
there will be seminars in the stu-
dents' field. In addition to these,
each student will be under a tu-
tor and will work on a paper of
some type.

HIT THE NAIL

ON THE HEAD

But hit it gently! If you're
fashion-wise, feminine and a
freshman (or over) you'll strike
with a blow no harder than that
of a nail enamel brush. And you'll
drive in a secure foundation for
your good grooming structure.

Q. Why use nail enamel?

A. Because nail enamel is practi-
cal as well as pretty to look at. It
is now an accepted fact that nails
with nail enamel are stronger and
more durable than nails without.
And stronger nails will be longer
nails. Fingertips are well-dressed
in Revlon's Lastron nail enamel
and are a most important fashion
accessory. More than that, nail
enamel beautifies the hand mak-
ing the nails look longer and the
hands more graceful.

Q. Why use more than one color?
A. Like lipstick, nail enamel is
the all-important costume acces-
sory. It should be right for the
costume, the complexion, the sea-
son of the year and' the time of
the day. Accent make-up (nail
enamel and lipstick) must match
or harmonize with the strongest
color note in the costume. Whether
you are wearing a beige suit with
a red scarf or hat, or a red suit
with black accessories, your nail
enamel and lipstick must har-
monize with the strongest color
the red. After you have selected
the tone (blue, orange, clear red),
thought must be given to the
value or depth which will be most
becoming to you. If both a blonde
and a brunette were wearing a
bright red scarf, the brunette
could wear a more intense shade,
such as Certainly Red, while the
blonde might find Bravo more
effective.

'In winter time you should com-
pensate for the lack of light by
wearing richer, deeper and usu-
ally more blue shades, In summer
with more sunshine and light col-
ors in costumes, the lighter,
clearer colors are better. In the
evening, yellow electric lights
drain the blue from lipstick with
the result that a fuchsia or blue-
red lipstick will appear a rich,
luscious red. Under blue fluores-
cent lights in a classroom, the
library or a restaurant, pinks,
'corals and yellow reds won't take
on that purplish cast that makes
your date think that rigor mortis
is setting in!

Q. Why doesn't MY nail enamel
stay on?

A. We'll have about ten good rea-
sons for you next week. If you
have other questions about your
own hand care, send them to
Renee Revlon, College Sales & Re-
search, 274 Madison Avenue, New
York, New York.

Yellow Jackets Spin Away
With Scotties For Week-end

By SUSAN HANCOCK, Guest Editor

This week-end the "grand old fraternity" of Phi Delta Theta of
Georgia Tech rushed off many Agnes Scotters into a whirl of social
activities.

The events of Friday night began early at a banquet at the Piedmont
Driving club. After the banquet, Phi Delts and their dates dashed
over to Peacfttree Gardens to dance to the music of the Auburn
Knights.

Mif Martin whirled around the dance floor in a fluffy yellow formal;
Lola Pureell looked demure in a pink organdy. The daisy chain bor-
dering the brown marquisette of Millie Allison's formal attracted the
attention of many eyes while Kassie Simmons was as pretty as the
rainbow in a multi-colored pastel formal.

As fresh as spring was the word for Jane Newland in her green or-
gandy formal. Others seen dancing to the music of the Auburn
Knights were Jane Hambrick, Betty Holland, Margaret Hopkins, Jo
Jordan, Dot Ring, and Ann Gebhardt.

Pastel Colors Highlight- Tech's Saturday Night

Saturday night brought the most important event of Engineer's
Week to the girls the Engineers' Ball. The Auburn Knights, who had
<a busy week-end, furnished the music for the ball in the Tech gym.
The gym was a mass of pastel colors.

Agnes Scotters could be spotted throughout the dancing crowd.
There was Helen Land setting off her brunette beauty in a white net
ballerina. Doris Clingman looked lovely in blue taffeta to match
her blue eyes. In a navy ghort formal with a white collar, Sara Sam-
monds looked like a page in "Vogue." Peachy was Frances Cook in a
peach ruffled formal.

Other girls dancing with the engineers were Mary Jane Leake, Mar-
garet Walker, Ann Baxter, Adaline Miller, Aline Hight, June Car-
penter, and Marjorie Major. The proudest girl there was Jayne Puc-
kett her date was (the chairman of the gala event.

Charlotte Bartlett, Ellie MeCarty, and Sylvia Williams relaxed in
the mountains at Sky Lake on the Emory Phi Delt house-party.

It looks as if the Phi Delts monopolized the week-end. Their monop-
oly was incomplete, however, because ithe old SAE lion roared out in-
vitations to the girls. Louise Ross, Betty McLellan, and Mary Lindsey
thoroughly enjoyed the Emory-Tech SAE house-dance Saturday night.
Alyce Ryan went all the way to the University of Tennessee to attend
the SAE formal ithere.

The "old wild goose" called to his sisters this week-end. Mary
Young went to Vanderbilt and to a series of dances at the University
of Florida went Mary Cline and Donna Limbert. Anne Cope went to
the University of Georgia to the Kappa Delta party. Anne Roark went
home with Betty Jane Sharpe.

Last Monday from 3-7 p. m., Charlotte Allsmiller, Margaret Inman,
Todd McCain, Biliie Wright, Frances Summerville, Sue McSpadden,
Belle Miller, Muriel Gear, Connie Byrd, Margaret McRae, Betty Hol-
land, Anne Pitts, Mary Beth Robinson, Nena Hale, Su Boney, B. J.
Moore, Catherine Crowe, and Evelyn Merrill had a wonderful time at
Glenwood Spring. The reason was the Columbia Seminary junior-
senior picnic. Hot-dogs and softball made a gay time for all.

The crowning features of the week came in the engagements of
Dot Rollins to Bill Hodges and Joann Peterson to Waldo Floyd two
mighty luck boys.

The Sigma Chi's 'at Emory gained two new sweethearts in the pin-
ning of Patt Martin and June Carpenter. Also Mary Stubbs is wearing
a very pretty Tech Lamba Chi pin.

Seniors Down Juniors 75-7
4s Sophs Defeat Frosh 4-2

By Anne Brooke

The sun was shining, the sky was blue, the only clouds vis-
ible were those hovering over the junior and freshman stands
as those teams met defeat at the hands of the seniors and
sophomores 15-1 and 4-2 respectively.

The juniors played a hard game, but they still lacked that
extra spark which has been miss-

ing all spring. In both the first
and second innings they went down
with the bases loaded. The soph-
omores, sparked by the excellent
pitching of Winnie Strozier, had
to fight hard to defeat a deter-
mined freshman team which was a
serious threat up to the last few
minutes of play.

The junior line-up included Je-
nelle Spear, pitcher; Jackie Sue
Messer, catcher (1); Barbara
Quattlebaum, first base; Eliza
Pollard, second base; Mary Anna
Ogden, third base; Mary Louise
Mattison, short stop; Wilton Rice,
right field; Martha Weakley, cen-
ter field; and Louise Hertwig, left
field.

\

On the senior team were Mary
Louise Warlick, pitcher (3); Bar-
bara Lawson, catcher (2); Frances
Morris, first base (1); Virginia
Skinner, second base; Alline Mar-
shall, third base (1) ; Todd McCain,
short stop (3); Frances Howerton,
right field (1); Floss Williamson,
center field (1); Genie Paschal,
left field (2).

Playing for the sophomores were
Winnie Strozier. pitcher (1);
Jeannine Byrd, catcher (1); Ann
Herman, first base (1); Mattie

GEA Meet Attracts
Speech Instructor

Miss Roberta Winter, instruc-
tor in speech, attended the Geor-
gia Education association planning
conference in Milledgeville last
week-end. Miss Winter went to
the conference as a member of the
Georgia Speech association.

The various associations met to-
gether in groups, planning their
work for next year. The purpose
of the GEA conference was to plan
and discuss ways of making school

Royal Party Visits Sea Village
At May Day Festival Saturday

By Dot Ring

Beryl Crews was crowned queen of Agnes Scott May Day
Saturday afternoon before a Crowd of approximately 1800
people, who braved one of Decatur's hottest days to attend
this annual festivity.

Although the dell was too wet for use, the college athletic
Kield lent itself beautifully as a

regal setting for the queen's court
and as the fishing village, Am-
mett-By-The Sea. After Cama
Clarkson, maid-of-honor, crowned
Beryl in the traditional manner, a
school of sea creatures entertained
the royal party with a pageant,
"The Net," written by Eliza Pol-
lard.

This legend of the sea was about
Paul, a village youth who disliked
his fishing trade, and his lover,
Carla. Carla, intrigued by the
wonders of the sea, was drawn
down into the midst of the waves,
where all the creatures of the
briny deep welcomed her with a
joyful dance. Paul went to
the bottom of the sea in search of
Carla. After spending a night in
the depths of the waters, the lov-
ers were told they would have to
remain there forever. However,
they were finally rescued in the
net Paul had scorned the day be-
fore by the fishermen.

A favorite of the spectators was
little Matthew Smith, son of Alum-
nae president Mrs. Bealy Smith
and senior class mascot. He play-
ed the starring male role in this
otherwise alMemale presentation
he was crown-bearer for t'he

queen.

Excellent in their roles were
Bess Lundeen, Carla; Margaret
Evins, Paul; and Diane Morris,
Spirit of the sea. Highlighting the
performance was the colorful ar-
ray .of costumes. Especially bril-
liant were those of the crabs,
clams, and waves. C. W. Dieck-
mann, professor of music, contrib-
uted a composition, "Sea Nymphs,"
to the pageant.

O- her members of the court be-
sides Beryl and Cama were seniors
Helen Edwards, Lyd Gardner, and
Nora Ann Little; juniors Marg
Hunt, Sally Jackson, Betty Zeig-
ler, and Joan White; sophomores

Blackfriars To Give Edwards' 'My Clavicle'
In Rebekah Lobby Tomorrow At 7:30 P. M.

An original one-act comedy, written by Helen Edwards in
play writing class under the direction of Mrs. Margaret Sewell,
part-time instructor in English, and Miss Roberta Winter,
instructor in speech, will be produced arena style in Rebekah
lobby tomorrow at 7:30 p. m. for a Blackfriars meeting.

The title of the drama is "My

Clavicle" and deals with the adol-
escent problems of thirteen-year-
old Molly Malone. Molly is con-
fronted with the conflicting dating
opinions of her progressive mother
and old-fashioned father. Mrs.
Malone is the typical modern wo-
man who attempts to raise her
daughter by a borrowed psychol-
ogy book.

Included in the cast of this pro-
duction will be Emily Pope, Jeane
Junker, Marijean Alexander, Ed
Estes, and Bill Pruitt. The en-
tire campus community is invited.

As this is the first play Helen
has written, she is uncertain about
any future works. She is writing
another one, however, for the
soring quarter playwriting course.

Opinion Asked

A compulsory chapel the announcement says a chapel
compulsory only so that the administration can guage the
over-all student opinion on a question about which opinion is
very strong on both sides whether there should be smoking
among Agnes Scott students.

Admittedly the day of miracles has long since passed but
with it has passed, in countries like ours, the day of "benevo-
lent dictatorships." Especially in a college like Agnes Scott,
the "powers that be" realize that a school is of, by, and for the
student; and they are taking this opportunity to find out what
the students want.

There will be no names or numbers on the poll sheets; there
will be no mind readers in the audience. The purpose is to get
an accurate picture as well as a complete one a picture only
possible if each student gives an honest evaluation of her own
feelings. C. K.

Mailroom Problem Could Lead
To Splinters Or Doubleoveritis

By Clairelis Eaton

At long last! I've got a column
(even if it's only for one issue),
and I can vent a gripe. It's about
the mailboxes. Now don't get me
wrong I love the mailroom. It
really is a place of fellowship
which vaguely corresponds
to the eighteenth century taverns
as far as discussing all the latest
news goes

"Mother writes that she's com-
ing up for May Day."

"It's snowing in Virginia, it says
here."

"Look who got married."

And there's such joy to behold
in the mailroom! A letter from
you know whom. A package from
home. A check. All come there.

And there's sorrow, too. No let-
ter from you know whom. No
package. No check. And EXAM
SCHEDULES. So the mailroom
is a place for the study of emo-
tions, and possibly it should be
turned into a psychology lab.

it serves another useful purpose.
The mailroom is really a bureau
for missing persons. Any boarder
terribly desperate to find a room-
mate or a day student who wants
to "thumb a ride" home needs only
sit on one of the benches from
8:30 a. m. to 5 p. m. and eventually
the roommate or someone going
her way will turn up. Of course
classes may suffer, but possibly a
solution could be found by setting
up a special classroom there for
persons in such distress or estab-
lishing a branch library in the
corner.

So truly, the mailroom is a won-
derful place. But . . . Why, oh

why are the mailboxes distributed
to give the tall girls the, bottom
ones and the short girls those on
top? Honestly, it's uncanny how
it happens almost every time.

Here I am all of four feet eleven
inches (five feet if I stand up
straight) and there are the Hach-
tels both nearing the six foot
mark. We all have 'boxes in the
same column but guess whose is
where. Yep, you're right. Theirs
is the lowest and mine, the highest.
Poor Freddie and Mary Ann. They
will probably get doubleoveritis
from the constant trying to get at
eye level with the box.

And I why I've never even
seen the inside of box 91. All I've
gotten are "Please return the fol-
lowing book" notices and splinters
from not being able to do any-
thing but rub my fingers along the
bottom of the box. Heavens, that
could result in blood poisoning
or bankruptcy! For what if I
couldn't reach the card and forgot
the book. Two cents a day mounts
up, you know.

I also contend that the mailbox
situation is dangerous to campus
morale. Freddie and Mary Ann
and fellow tall gals may feel silly
because they have to get on their
knees or double over twice to
reach their mailboxes, and people
like me get laughed at because we
look so foolish playing giraffes
merely to get a notice. This
causes embarrassment and may
warp character.

So, I maintain that although
the mailroom is a great institu-
tion, the setup of the boxes is
DANGEROUS physically, eco-
nomically, and mentally.

Landmarks

Pop' Johnson Starts Career
By Disappearing Under Table

By Helen Land

It was to be their first public appearance, but the two sing-
ers suddenly disappeared. One was under the table; the other
had run into the yard. Thus were "Pop" Johnson and his
chum, both six years old', intimidated by their first audience.
It was the first and last time, however; because as tenor and
bass, respectively, Lewis H. John- (

son, now associate professor of
music at Agnes Scott, and his
friend sang together all through
high school.

Mr. Johnson's musical ^career,
therefore, started at the age of
six and developed through study,
culminating in his teaching. This
year marks his fortieth of teach-
ing at Agnes Scott, and at its
completion he expects to retire.

At ten Mr. Johnson began stud-
ying the piano, a skill at which
he says his knowledge exceeds his
ability at practical application.
This failing he attributes to a lack
of ability to coordinate his hands
something girls who have knit-
ted and kneaded bread for centur-
ies do not have to contend with.
While studying at Julliard where
piano was part of the regular cur-
riculum, his young teacher listen-
ed to him "bungle through the
pieces a few times" and finally
sat down and played the accom-
paniments herself while he prac-
ticed voice the rest of the period.
Star Pupil

He attended Pomona College in
California and studied at Julliard
Conservatory in New York. After-
ward, he taught as assistant vocal
teacher at both schools for a total
of two years before coming to
teach at Agnes Scott. Here he
fell in love with his accompanist
and star pupil, Gussie O'Neill, and
they were married in 1913. They
went to Europe on their honeyr
moon where they studied in Berlin.
On their trip they were accom-
panied by their close friend, Jo-
seph Maclean who had first
brought them together and for
whom Maclean Auditorium is
named.

Last summer Mr. Johnson re-
turned to Pomona College for his
class reunion after forty years.
The members were eager to hear
again the college quartet in which
he had been tenor. More than a
little dubious, the men practiced

together doctor, businessman,
and two voice teachers and after
three brief rehearsals sang for the
big reunion. They stole the show
and were asked to repeat their
performance at the banquet that
night.

There Are Smiles . . .

It all goes to show, Mr. John-
son explained, that you don't for-
get things you learn even a long
time before. Another thing he dis-
covered was that though people
change remarkably over long per-
iods of time, you can always rec-
ognize them when they smile. An
attractive woman shook his hand
cordially and perceiving his be-
wildered look cried, "You don't re-
member me, 'Sing'? Why, I'm Ef-
fie, the girl you took to all our
dass parties!" "And then she
smiled and then I remembered,"
laughed Mr. Johnson.

For the future, the Johnsons
have set their eyes and hearts to-
ward the tropics. Specifically,
they are on a little cottage in Del-
ray Beach, Fla., below Palm Beach,
where the Gulf stream boasis pale
green waters and cool breezes -the
year 'round. Mr. Johnson plans
to live on the fish he catches by
rod on the Gulf and the coconuts
he captures by climbing the palms
in his own front yard.

Between fishing trips and les-
sons with the few students he plans
to take, we hope he'll look up
Georgia-way and remember us.
We won't forget him.

Hutchens Organizes Seniors As Alumnae;
Association Aids In Finding Friends, Books

By Sally Veale

What happens when a senior gets her hard-won, eagerly
awaited sheepskin? Is college a thing of the past, never to be
thought of except in infrequent nostalgic moments? Not at all.
Graduates can maintain a close connection with their college.

Miss Eleanor Hutchens, alumnae secretary, is working to

organize the seniors to become
alumnae. The senior class is being
divided up into groups of eight or
ten each. These are units through
which the class will operate as an
alumnae class. Each group has a
chairman. The lifetime president
of the class, Sarah Tucker, will
work through these chairmen, who
will in turn maintain close contact
with members of their groups. In
general, the alumnae classes work
this way for reunions, the alumnae
fund, and putting class news in
f he alumnae quarterly.

What is the purpose of the as-
sociation? The seniors in the next

few days will all meet in the Alum-
nae house to hear it straight from
Miss Hutchens; but for those of
us who are not seniors, here is a
brief resume. The association
maintains a connection between
the college and the alumnae and
gives certain services.

If you're a stranger in a town, a
letter to the Alumnae office here
will introduce you to all Agnes
Scott graduates in the new town.
Soon you're not a stranger at all,
but with old friends! And if you've
been out of college a long while
and feel your mind is getting rusty,

I the association will help you out
of your predicament. Pick a sub-
ject in which you are interested,
write to the office, and they'll send
you a list of books on the subject
compiled by a professor here who
is an expert in that field.

Active alumnae (those who give
to the Fund) receive special rates
for staying at the Alumnae house,
are invited to functions of the as-
sociation (Trustees' luncheon,
Alumnae week-end, etc.), and re-
ceive the quarterly.

The class officers, Sarah Tuck-
er and Alline Marshall, will soon
conduct a drive for contributions
amontf members of the class of '50.
It is to be nominal; that is, a token
of their interest in the association.
It will give each student who par-
ticipates a year's experience of
membership.

BOWED TO- CONQUER, Hans (Alline Marshall) is shown
singing for the love of Heidi (Norah Ann Little) in a scene
from Senior Opera.

Senior Met Production 'Heida'
Features Songs Of Little, Davis

By Ann Boyer

"Heida," the 1950 production of the Senior Metropolitan
Opera company, was one of the most successful light operas
of this season. Highlighted by lovely airs sung by Nora Ann
Little as Heidi and by the sparkling wit of Cathy "Papa
Wunda" Davis, "Heida" was a fitting conclusion to May Day.

Many distinguished guests were r .

well, anyway a solo to the coun-
tess and told her of his love.

At the opening of act two,
George and the countess with
"Nussen," Mr. Jones' dog, were
leaving to get married. Papa
Wunda chased Pretzel, Barbie
Lawson, away from the inn, and
sang, in his own singular style,
of his five daughters, almost all
lost to him now.

During the scene, Cama Clarkson
as the baker and her short-wave
radio definition of an American
stole the show. The Memory Sing-
ers, led by Mrs. Rebecca Clark, in-
structor in music, and the Magic
Friersons with their wine-making
miracles were hired for the feast
at Heidi's intended marriage to
George.

Countess Barbarossa and George
planned with Hans how he could
win Heidi and leave George for
the countess; and when Heidi saw
Barbarossa flirting with her own
Hans, she" realized her true love
for him.

ser auditorium before the per-
formance, including Miss Carrie
Scandrett, dean, in a Hedda Hop-

The polka at the wedding feast
of Heidi's sister, Mary Alice Mc-
Donald, formed the opening scene
Of "Heida."

1 Fascinating Tech

George A. Tech, played by Mary
Louise Warlick, appeared soon,
and Heidi was fascinated by his
American ways. Despite the avow-
ed love of Hans, the chocolate fac-
tory worker, and his songs ( ? ) for
her, she would not accept him. As
she was thinking of Hans and
George, the dream sequence was
introduced. Bess Lundeen was as
delightful as usual, and the scene
was the most beautiful in the op-
era. Margaret Hopkins' grace was
outstanding, and the pirouetting
Charlotte Bartlett was quite funny
as the less romantic Hans.

Sarah Jane Campbell as the be-
jeweled Countess Barbarossa com-
pleted the leading foursome.
George sang a tenor, er-ah, bass,

Agnes Scott Honors
High School Seniors
Saturday Afternoon

Approximately 4rj or 50 high
school seniors from towns all over
Georgia swarmed onto the campus
Saturday as guests of Agnes Scott
for High School Day. This day is
set aside each year to give stu-
dents who are planning to attend
college an insight into the customs
and practices of Agnes Scott and
her Hottentots.

At noon the girls met at Mur-
phey Candler where they were
greeted by their hostesses from the
class of '53 and were introduced
to such administrative leaders as
Dr. J. R. McCain, president, Dr.
Wallace Alston, vice president,
Miss Carrie Scandrett, dean of
students, and S. G. Stukes, regis-
trar.

After lunch in the dining hall,
the seniors made a tour of the
campus, attended a swimming'and
diving exhibitipn, and visited the
new observatory. They then re-
turned to Murphey Candler for re-
freshments which were served by
Mortar Board and for entertain-
ment. The freshman choir sang
Bach's "My Spirit Be Joyful," an
English folk song, "Johnny My
Jing-a-lo," and a Czechoslovakian
folk song, "Waters Ripple and
Flow." Edith Sewell recited "De-
partmental" by Robert Frost after
which Smokey Bowers gave the
reading "If I was a One-Legged
Pirate." Completing the program
were a group of songs sung by a
trio composed of Doris Clrngman,
Ann (Texas) Jones, and Frances
Summerville.

The climax and highlight of the
day was the May Day program
at 5 p. m.

Scotties Top Gala Week-End
With Campus Guest Invasion

By B. J. SHARPE, Guest Editor

East side, West side' ; Why, all over the campus! Everywhere new
faces, friends, relatives, "special ones" introductions. Yes sir, "Old
Folks at Home" would have been very inappropriate on campus last
week-end. Why? Because there were no "Folks at Home." They were
all being entertained by Scotties, and they came from every section
of the country.

Just to mention a few guests, there was Ann Jones' sister, Gregor
Mitchell's fiance, Betty Ann Green's Henry, Florence Worthy's How-
ard, Ginnie Skinner's family and man from Charlotte, and Adaline
Miller's sister.

Did you see Harriot Ann McGuire's announcement in the paper Sun-
day? To find out all about the engagement party just ask Jean Os-
born, Norah Ann Little, Helen Edwards, Mary Louise Warlick, or
Ginnie Skinner. I hear it was at the East Lake Country club Friday
night.

Speaking of parties, Jane Puckett surely did look pretty dressed
in pink Saturday night at the SAE dinner dance. Others there were
Pat Coi t< lyou, Roberta Williams, Doris Clingman, and Martha Norton.

Helping to initiate a new barbecue pit at the Chi Phi house at Emory
Saturday night were Carol Solomon, Ruth Vineyard, Dottie Allison,
Joann Piastre, Adaline Miller, and Susan Gauger. Fun? Why, she'. At
the Psi Omega formal Friday night several Agnes Scotters could be
spotted. Ann Parker was dazzling in pale green organdy with matching
mits. Others dancing around the floor were Flo Kibler, Ann McLeod,
Mary Beth Robinson, and Ruth Gudmundson.

Picnicing with Tech Sigma Chi's Saturday afternoon we saw Jane
Hill, Joan Jordan, Jackie Pharr, Ann Cope, Ann McLeod, Betty Wil-
liams, and Flo Kibler. $

Well, it seems that while the country was touring Agnes Scott, some
Agnes Scotters were touring the country. In spite of the attractions
of Atlanta, "there's no place like home," say some Aggies, such as
Margaretta Lumpkin, LaBelle David, and Marcy O'Ferrall. Jane Wind-
ham visited with friends in Florida and Bunny Coley went to Bain-
bridge for the week-end. Jane Hook, Mary Ann Wycott, Taffy Mer-
rill, Jo Holliman, Rosalyn Kennedy, Frances Summerville, and Mary
Lindsey are full of tales about Ann Potts' houseparty at Gabbettville.
Incidentally, LaBelle's- birthday gift Monday was an engagement ring.

Of Philosophy Talks

Dr. Wallace Alston, vice presi-

began a series of three discussions
on philosophy last Tuesday with
the sophomore class. He will con-
tinue these through next Tuesday,

Class Day To Blend
Fun, Farewell May 3

By B. J. Sharpe

Agnes Scott seniors will be car-
ried back \o glimpses and short
memories of high school gradua-
tion in the observance of the tra-
ditional class day Saturday, June
3. While it sounds' like fun, it
will, no doubt, be mixed with
slight tones of sadness for the
seniors who realize that it is ac-
tually their farewell to college life.

This year's class day will begin
with a luncheon given by the Trus-
tees for the seniors. It will be at
1 p. m. in the Alumnae house, and
will be followed at 3:30 p. m. with
the dedication of the observatory.
Daisy Chain

After this will be the traditional
procession of the seniors with
their sister class. Linked together
by the daisy chain, they will walk
together across the campus from
Inman to Presser where the class
program will be presented at 4:30
p. m. in Gaines. It will include
the Last" Will and Testament of
each senior, the class history, pro-
phecy, and class poem.

Along with the tradition of Class
day is closely connected the bien-
nial traditional program by the
speech department, which will be
presented that night at 8:30 p. m.
in Maclean auditorium. Engraved
in the memories of the day will
be Suanne Bowers, Adelaide Ryall,
Edith Sewell, Theresa Dokos, and
Elizabeth Flowers in "Cheaper by
the Dozen." Each year either the
speech or the music department
presents such a program to enter-
tain visitors and alumnae who are
on campus for commencement.

This will be followed by perhaps
the most unforgetable part of the
day book burning, which will be
at 9:30 p. m. in front of Main. The
seniors have probably awaited this
moment for a long time, and now
they have a chance to express a

(Continued on page 2)

of Churches, and the Rotary In-
ternational club.

At the services, Mr. C. W. Dieck-
mann, professor of music, will
play an organ prelude and pro-
cessional. Dr. James R. McCain,
president, will open the ceremony
with an invocation, followed by a
special number by the college
choir. The opening prayer will
be by Dr. Wallace M. Alston, vice
president, and Mr. Dieckmann will
play the traditional hymn, "God
of the Marching Centuries."

After the sermon, Dr. Olert will
pronounce the benediction, which
will be followed by the recessional.

Frosh, Soph Choirs
Will Sing May 23
In Final Program

The freshman-sophomore choir
recital, under the direction of Mrs.
Rebekah McDuffie Clarke, in-
structor in music, will be Tues-
day, May 23, at 8 p. m.^in Maclean
auditorium. 'Each choir will sing
several numbers individually and
will join together in others. Sa-
rah Leathers will accompany the
freshman c'hoir; and Charlotte
Allsmiller, the sophomore choir.

The members of the freshman-
sophomore choir, none of whom
studies voice except with the choir
group, will wear pastel evening
dresses for the recital. This will
not only be the l^st musical pro-
gram of the year, but also the last
college program under the direc-
tion of Mrs. Clarke, who is leav-
ing Agnes Scott to become music
director of the Hyde Park Pres-
byterian church, Tampa, Fla.

Scott, the Harry T. Hall Memo-
rial Scholarship fund.

Following this commemoration

their families were invited to visit
it. Monday night it was opened for
all students.

For the rest of the quarter as-
tronomy classes will use the ob-

More Than Meets The Eye

There are more than a few organs, practice rooms, and har-
mony courses to a music department there are faculty mem-
bers whose instruction and guidance make possible the ad-
vancement of the students. The News pays tribute to Mr.
Dieckmann and Mr. Johnson who are bringing to an end their
years of service at Agnes Scott.

Their activities have made possible the existence of a music
department and have, in a large measure, been responsible
for its growth. Memories of them and their work will always
be among the most cherished for those who have known them
here. C. K.

Elementary Teaching Positions
Now Offer Job Opportunities

(From the U. S. Department of Labor)

Graduates trained for elementary school teaching should
find a wide choice of employment opportunities in most
states this spring. On the other hand, prospective teachers
at the secondary level will find a highly competitive employ-
ment situation in all but a few subject fields. Last year, only
one student completed training for

elementary teaching for every
three who were needed; this year,
the shortage will be nearly as
acute. The number of students
completing preparation for high
school teaching in 1949 was four
times as great as the demand; the
oversupply in 1950 is expected to
be even greater.

Continuing Need

The need for teachers in elemen-
tary schools will continue to in-
crease over the next several years.
According to a recent study by the
Department of Labor's Bureau of
Labor Statistics, enrollments in
grades 1-8 will probably rise
sharply for the next seven years
in most states and then level off.
The total number of elementary
teaching positions will therefore
increase considerably, perhaps by
more than 260,000 in the next sev-
en years. The number of new
teachers required will be great-
est about 1953, the year when the
sharpest increase in enrollments
is expected.

The number of young people
taking training for elementary-
teaching will depend, in the future
as in the past, chiefly on the other
employment opportunities avail-
able and the relative salaries of-
fered. If general economic condi-
tions should become less favorable
and there should be considerable

unemployment, the supply of ele-
mentary teachers might become
such that keen competition would
develop.

Strong competition for high
school teaching positions is ex-
pected in the country as a whole
for the next few years at least.
However, the distribution of teach-
ers both by locality and by subject
field is such that some schools
suffer shortages while others have
many applicants for each. job.
With few exceptions, shortages are
now limited to rural areas and
such special subject fields as home
economics. The greatest oversup-
ply in most states is in men' phys-
ical education, the social sciences,
and English.

It is likely that education and
experience requirements will be
raised, in line with the prewar
trend. Students taking training
for high school teaching should
plan to get a master's degree in
order to qualify for the best em-
ployment opportunities.

Scott News. It makes a wonderful
prop for unlevel desk legs, as one

Humdrum Character (?)

Dieckmann, Here Since 1905,
To Ploy Final 'Ancient of Days 7

By Clairelis Eaton

'There's nothing romantic about me," says Christian W.
Dieckmann, professor of music, "I'm just a humdrum charac-
ter. I haven't traveled very far or done anything exciting."

But, to us, Mr. Dieckmann is a beloved institution,
"more valuable," as Dr. McCain said, "than Gaines Chapel."

For forty-five years, Mr. Dieck-
man has seen Agnes Scott grow
and has taught many girls to "ap-
preciate music," making it pos-
sible for his lessons to be perpet-
uated by creating many excellent
music instructors. Undoubtedly
his favorite student is none other
than the girl from Marietta who
become Mrs. Dieckmann an ar-
gument for the good Agnes Scott
has done him, Mr. Dieckmann
maintains.

Music Studies
The professor began his studies
in a small Cincinnati music col-
lege which was under the direction
of three former teachers of the
Cincinnati School of Music. There
he studied piano under Charles
A. Granger; and harmony, coun-
terpoint, orchestration, and com-
position under Sydney C. Durst,
who later became Dean of the
School of Music.

In 1905, Mr. Dieckmann came
to Agnes Scott and since that
time has studied organ in New
York under Tertius T. Noble, or-
ganist of St. Thomas' church, and
advanced harmony under Rosseter
G. Cole at Columbia university.

This year, the commencement
will be the last one at which Mr.
Dieckmann will play "Ancient of
Days," a hymn he has played at
every graduation since 1918.

"I haven't ever been able to
count how many times I play it
through each commencement, but
I think its about ten times."
Up in the Thousands
That and all the academic pro-
cessions should bring the grand
total up into the thousands. Mr.
Dieckmann says that he would ap-
preciate it if someone would take
an official count of how often he
does play it, since this will be the
last chance.

After he leaves Agnes Scott, Mr.
Dieckmann plans to continue his
work as organist of the Lutheran
Church of the Redeemer; and he
also wants to do some private
teaching.

"I would like to go on record
by saying it's been a remarkable
privilege to be here at Agnes Scott
with such a wonderful faculty and
such grand girls. Really, the pick
of the country is here, and you
couldn't beat them. I've had the
opportunity to have the finest
memories and friends," Mr. Dieck-
mann stated.

And we'd like to add that one

Class Day

few impatient feelings! Bookburn-
ing dates back to 1915 and will
take place in the customary spot
in front of Main.

Each senior, robed in her cap
and gown and attended by a junior
bearing a lighted candle, throws
into a bonfire the textbook or
notes of her most disliked course.
At the same time she reads a poem
about that subject. Everyone is
invited to attend bookburning.

As a grand finale to the me-
morial events of Class day, there
will be the secret ceremony of
capping the juniors. This is to be
in the May Day dell.

of t'ne finest memories and one of
the best friends Agnes Scott can
have is Mr. Dieckmann himself.

Baptist Have
Youth Revival

The Baptist Student Union in
Atlanta is sponsoring a City-Wide
Youth Revival all this week at the
Baptist Tabernacle in Atlanta.
Two outstanding young men from
Texas are speaking, -and the song
leader is also from Texas.

One of these speakers is How-
ard Butt from Corpus Christi, who
is vice president of a large gro-
cery chain. The other speaker,
Jack Robinson, is a star basket-
ball player. Among other accom-
plishments, Jack was on the Amer-
ican Olympic team in 1948. Did-
Baker, song leader for the serv-
ices, has written a number of re-
ligious songs and choruses. All
three of the boys attended Baylor
University.

Agnes Scott students are urged
to attend the remaining meetings.
Transportation can be arranged
through Jimmie Anne McGee.
Girls from all denominations are
invited.

Landmarks

Barefeet Show
In Nature,
Day Dream

By Helen Land

One morning in early spring I
awoke to the hoof beats of my
roommate who loped across the
room and grabbed me by my un-
resisting wrists.

"Have you heard?" she shouted,
her wide blue eyes within inches
of my half shut brown ones. "The
D. O. has issued as of this morn-
ing a No-^Shoes Edict. That means
we can throw away those multi-
strap monsters! Back to nature!"
Still Harking

"Back to nature," I mumbled
and staggered out of bed. After
a unique breakfast at which ev-
eryone padded back and forth to
the roller-coaster tray receptacle,
I rushed to my eight-thirty. Pic-
ture my reaction when confronted
half-way there by a smiling, bare-
foot professor who was leading
the girls out to the hockey field
where class was to begin. At my
startled expression she said with
dignity, "Back to nature, you
know."

"Oh, yes, back to nature," I said
weakly and fell into line. It was
spring, and that was great, but
what had come over people? All
this abnormality was frightening.
My bare feet, however, squnched
happily across the damp green
grass. Arriving at the appointed
spot, the professor led us in cal-
esthenics before class began. "Just
to keep in shape," she announced.

Of course, this really didn't hap-
pen; it is a dream by day, maybe
known to you as a day dream. But
spring has splashed us recently
and is now mingling into summer.
Who knows into what the campus
might develop if we all follow our
fancies. Let yours scamper a min-
ute . . . oops! That's enough.

Frosh To Star-Gaze In Sunlight
At C. A. Picnic Tomorrow Night

Star-gazing freshmen will be serenaded by the harp of
Mercury Calder (alias W. M., professor of physics and astron-
omy), at the annual Christian association picnic tomorrow
afternoon at 5:30 p. m. in the little quadrangle.. Shooting Star
Mrs. Calder will shoot members of the group with her camera.

The picnic is to be a star-gazing

party, and the Sun, about which
the whole starry body revolves, is
to be Dr. J. R. McCain, president.
Mary Hayes Barber, new president
of C. A., is Venus, the bright star
of the spring. Many other stars
and constellations will also be
present, such as the Big and Little

Dippers.

Nellie Scott, Agnes Scott gradu-
ate of 1947, will speak during the
party. Marjorie Stukes, Mary
Louise Warlick, and Landis Cot-
ten will be in charge of the recrea-
tion; and Sally Veale will lead the

CHIP AHOY!

If you're a fastidious female
who says, "I like nail enamel, but
mine doesn't stay on," then the
questions below are your very
own. If you wear nail enamel con-
stantly (and every well-groomed
gal nowadays does) , the first qual-
ity that you demand is durability
wear. That's why you ask
yourself : 4

Q. What causes my nail enamel to
peel, strip or chip?
A. There are three or four big
reasons and at least a dozen little
ones. Check through these and
rate yourself guilty or not-guilty;
then add about a day to the life-
span of your nail enamel for each
"guilty." The verdict is your own :
(1) your nail enamel contains an
inferior plasticizer; (2) you don't
allow sufficient drying time; (3)
your nails are not in a healthy
condition; (4) you're not applying
your nail enamel properly first
a thin coat, next a heavier second
coat applied with a full brush,
then a final hairline tip wiped
from each nail; (5) you don't pro-
tect your fingertips ; (6) your nail
surface is not absolutely clean be-
fore you apply nail enamel (Vel-
vety non-smear remover will do a
thorough job for you) ; (7) you've
allowed your enamel to thicken in
the bottle; (8) you don't apply
that important base coat, Adheron,
Double Twist or Prolon; (9) you
don't apply a top coat such as
Seal-Fast, or (10) you're applying
your top coat before the final coat
of enamel is slick to the touch.

1 If you're the girl with a prob-
lem for every solution, you'll say:

Q. What is "sufficient" drying
time ?

A. The best modern enamels take
much longer to dry than enamel
of a few years ago. They're thicker
to begin with. Avoid a nail enamel
that looks as if it would pour just
like water; it will dry much faster,
but it will also chip and peel like
mad. Don't wave your hand about
in the air (like you do when you've
read the lesson for the day) , blow
on your nails, or hold them under
your hair dryer. It'll tend to blow
the enamel off the nail center into
the groove around the cuticle. Let
the enamel dry naturally. If you
hasten the process, you'll dry a
thin film on top, leaving all the
enamel underneath still wet. Re-
sult: uneven expansion and con-
traction and a nail enamel appli-
cation that's on the way to chip-
ping and peeling.- Whatever you
gain in drying rime, you hi
wearing time.

Learn New Duties

Members of the senior class^vis-
ited the Alumnae house Monday
to learn the duties and responsibil-
ities of alumnae, as well as under-
stand the benefits they receive
, as members of the association.'

The development of the newly
revived alumnae fund is now to be
one of the chief objectives of the
association. The importance of
this voluntary contribution fund
is revealed by the need of $12,000
for the financing of each student's
education at Agnes Scott.

Vanity Fair

Devilish Dooley Rises Again
To View Festivities at Emory

By MARTHA FORTSOX, Guest Editor

The high light of the social events this week-end was Dooley's
Frolics. Dooley rose from his grave about a week ago to view the
Emory campus this week. On Friday the fellows and gals went all
out for the lawn decorations and costumes which carried out song
titles. Nell Floyd and Anita Coyne in their short pinafores were
beaming because the Phi Delts won first place for the lawn decora-
tions.

The winning Phi Delt brothers had for their theme a circus, com-
plete with a band, a fat lady, and some animals. The PiKA's won sec-
ond prize with "The Wizard of Oz," and the Delt's, third with "Old
Man River." Betty MeLellan was on the Delt's boat in a yellow for-
mal trimmed in black lace.

As Ray Anthony's orchestra beat out "Dixie" at the costume ball
Friday night, KA's and their dates were heard yelling. These southern
belles and gents were dressed in organdy and tux. Millie Allison, Di-
ane Morris, Chris Allen, and Libby Shontz in frills were walking
up the KA's "Stairway to the Stars" while Betty Moon danced among
the stars at the top of the stairs.

The Sima Chi's costumes from "Madame Butterfly" placed first
for costumes. Edith Petrie, Mary Anne Wyatt, and Jo Holliman were
dressed in varied-colored kimonas and even had slanted eyes. The
ATO's took second place for costume, and the Harem girls from Agnes
Scott certainly added to the scenery. Anne Parker was in black and
gold, and Winnie Strozier was completely disguised in white and red
satin.

The SAE theme of "Carrousel" was very effective. Deehe Arm-
strong, Jane Ciayton, Carlene Nickel, and Louise Ross wore Gay
Nineties costumes. Spanish senoritas Adaline Miller, Dottie Allison,
and Bett Linton were seen in the Chi Phi's "Brazi?." Dianne Shell was
really cute, dressed as a candy stick for Sigma Pi's "SS Lollipop."

However, in some students' opinions, the frolics were not the most
important events of the week-end. Anne Warren, Barbara Brown,
Patricia Cortelyou, Margaretta Lumpkin, Jane Puckett, Marion Merit,
Mif Martin, and Clair Foster are showing off new tans from the Tech
SAE houseparty at Lake Ra'bun. These girls did not out do Mary Jane
Largen, Sylvia Williams, Jackie Pfarr, Dot Ring, Jane Hill, Jo Jordan,
Flo Kibler, Aline Hight ,and Betty Williams who went on the Sigma
Chi houseparty at Sky Lake.

Charity Bennett, Sara McKee, and Pat DeFord spent a gala week-
end at Davidson attending the KA Old South festivities. And there's
another "she's lovely ..." on the campus this week. Jean Osborn
got a ring Sunday afternoon.

BRADLEY OBSERVATORY. Dedication of the new Bradley Memorial Observatory
Saturday was led by George Winship, chairman of the board of trustees. The building
will be open to the general public a few nights each month.

Winship Presides At Dedication
Of New Observatory Saturday

George Winship, chairman of the board of trustees, pre-
sided at the dedication Saturday of the Bradley Memorial
Observatory at the new building. The observatory includes
a planetarium, a workshop in which there *may be experi-
mentation with making telescopes, an auditorium, a labora-
tory, and a library. The building,
primarily for the yse of the Agnes
Scott community, will be open to
the general public a few nights
each month.

After a statement by Dr. J. R.
McCain, president, of the program
of the University center which
made the purchase of the telescope
possible, there were tributes to
Lewis H. Beck, whose foundation
contributed toward the purchase

of the telescope, and W. C. Brad-
ley. The Bradley foundation is
endowing the building.

William A. Calder, pr6fessor of
physics and astronomy, explained
some of the uses of the building in
the future; and, after the reading
of a short poem- written for the
occasion by Blewett Lee, Dr.
Wallace M. Alston, vice president,
gave a dedicatory prayer.

Red-Faced Seniors
Relax At Lundeen's

By Nancy Wilkinson

And there are those red-faced
seniors. The senior class spent a
wonderful afternoon out at the
Lundeen's (Bess' house) Thurs-
day afternoon for their class pic-
nic. There was swimming, boat-
ing badminton, and just relaxing
out on the lawn overlooking the
beautiful lake in front of the
house. Approximately 100 mem-
bers of the class were present to
join in the fun.

Out on the porch the seniors
served themselves from a long
table covered with fried chicken,
potato salad, tomato sandwiches,
potato chips, pickles,- and cokes.

Nine Graduates Attain Honor,
Honor Roll Includes Sixteen

. Four members of the class of 1950 received the recognition
of graduating with high honors. The students were judged by
their four-year record. They are Cama Clarkson, Charlotte,
North Carolina; Sarah Hancock, Decatur; Polly Anna Philips
Harris, Atlanta; Patty Overton, Shelby, North Carolina.

Cama, who read for honors in ~

English, wrote a paper titled
"The Wordes" based on a study
of some works of Chaucer. "Math-
ematics in Nature and Art" was
the name of Sarah Hancock's
thesis. Reading in mathematics,
Polly Anna chose to do "A Study
of the Function, W Equals Z Di-
vided by Z Squared Minus One."
Patty did research on "Benito
Perez Galdos: Novelista Y Cruza-
do Liberal" for a Spanish paper.

Also based on grades made dur-
ing four years, five seniors grad-
uated with ho>nor. They are Ha-
zel Karp, Atlanta; Alline Mar-
shall. Albany; Todd McCain,
Southern Pines, North Carolina;
Rosellen Potter, Atlanta; Ann
Windham, Opelika, Alabama.

Sixteen seniors made grades
qualifying them for the honor
roll. The hoTior roll is based only
on the senior year work. Those
included on the list are Cama
Clarkson, Mildred Flournoy, Brod-
nax, Virginia; P>ances Givens, De-
catur; Sarah Hancock.

Polly Anna Philips Harris, At T
lanta; Hazel Karp; Evelyn Long,
Atlanta; Todd McCain; Gabriele
Menzel, Germany; Frances Mor-
ris, Covington, Virginia; Patty

Rosellen Potter; Janet Sowell,

Atlanta; and Ann Windham.

Seniors Give
Fund To Start
Art Exhibit

An art exhibit of famous ori-
ginals is what the 1950 graduates
hope to see at some future visit
to the Agnes Scott campus. Their
gift to the college is a fund of
about $500 to start such a collec-
tion.

The class feels mat such a pro-
ject will help in the development
of the fine arts program at Agnes
Scott, reports Norah Ann Little,
class president. Most women's
colleges have at least one famous
original, and Agnes Scott should
not be in the minority in that re-
spect. In selecting the gift, the
class of '50 has tried to choose
one which the whole campus com-
munity may enjoy. It may be pos-
sible that an exhibit room could
be set up in the library in the
room designated for that purpose
when the library was built.

Since the $500 will not be en-
ough in itself to purchase an ori-
ginal, it is hoped that the fund
will be added to in the future. If
there have been no additions with-
in five years, the money is to be
used for a portrait of Wallace M.
Alston, vice president.

Welcome Influence

It was only three years ago that we of the class of '51 first
ventured upon the Agnes Scott campus, first shook those
helping hands of our sophomore helpers. It is hard to believe
that soon that help will be gone and yet, though gone to the
eye, here in spirit as a valuable part of that body of "influ-
ences" that shape our lives, that guide us on the journey to
maturity.

The class of 1950 has shown us, not only '51ers, but also
the rest of the campus, the way to mix pleasure with work
and to become a part of the Agnes Scott spirit and tradition.

For the new graduates from us, here's a wish for years full
of joy and success in the world to which we, too, will have the
privilege of taking the results of our growth in the five ideals.

Summer A New Year

The end of spring quarter could be labeled the college stu-
dent's New Year's Day a time of hilarity, nostalgia, and res-
olutions. In the midst of gay excitment intermingled with
fleeting sadness upon leaving close friends, the resolution
list is sometimes forgotten.

Grab a few minutes out of one day early in June and in-
dulge in introverted thinking. If it helps, think over a tall
glass of pink lemonade, but do analyze yourself and your ef-
forts.

Have you made the most of your ability during the past
year? If not, resolve now to approach college life with a more
adult attitude, a decision to apply yourself.

Do not let yourself get stale on these resolutions by letting
them lie around all summer with the Scarlet O'Hara tag,
"Oh well, tomorrow is another day." Start now. Make the
most of your vacation. Spend your leisure time reading a
few of those books you were aching to read all year, but
could not seem to fit into a twenty-four hour day schedule.
Keep up with world affairs. The changes made in current
events during a nine month school term are amazing.

Make this, the end of another school year, the beginning
of an even more fulfilling one next year. D. R.

Class Leader
Tells Of Value
Of ASC Years

By SARAH TUCKER

Life Time President, Class of 1950

Funny how one thinks one will
never reach this point, standing
at the door and taking the last
look around, trying to stamp the
whole picture of four years in-
delibly on one's mind, and realiz-
ing, perhaps for the first time,
what four years spent at Agnes
Scott have meant.

Only a few words are necessary
to suggest the high spots of col-
lege life the wisdom and calm
assurance of Dr. McCain, the
warm interest and sound advice
cf Mis's Scandrett, and the al-
ready felt influence of Dr. Al-
ston's wonderful personality. The
faculty have been responsible for
planting in us, oftentimes with no
help from us, at least the seeds of
a real love for knowledge.

Added to these gifts, we find
ourselves the possessors of many
valuable friends, known and lov-
ed during our stay here friends
who have done a great deal tow-
and contributing to our growth
by influencing our conceptions of
people, of studies, and of life.
Many of us have also found here
the basis of a strengthened faith
in a very personal God which will
go with us always.

These are only a few of the
things we shall take with us
which should enable each of us
to take an intelligent interest in
our new undertakings, whatever
they may be house keeping or
selling pencils on street corners.
It is our prayer and wish that we
may be, to the fullest, what Ag-
nes Scott has taught us we can
be.

Scotties Look to Weddings
As Shower Decorations Fall

By MARTHA FORTSON

Gleaming eyes, glittering diamonds, on you know which finger,
shower decorations lying around consisting of miniature brides, wed-
ding bells, and all that goes with weddings, long bull sessions about
bridesmaid dresses, honeymoons and the like all of these signs are
present on the Agnes Scott campus and mean only one thing-s-that
Spring is here and the long awaited weddings are taking place.

One of the girls that is vividly exhibiting -these signs is Gregor
Mitchell, who has been feted with parties given by her class mates.
Barbara Stainron, Jimmie Ann McGee, Jane LaMaster, Jerry Keef,
Amy Jones, Sue Yarbrough, Carolyn (ialbreath. Mary StllDDS, and
Esther Adler presented Gregor with a gift for her new house at the
dinner they gave for her. Gregor shared the limelight with Stellise
Robey, who also has that bride-to-be look, at a miscellaneous shower
given by Nancy Cassin and Marjorie Orr. Emily Ann Reid, another
bride-to-be, was given a lovely lingerie shower at Franklin Simon by
Sue McSpadden, Vippi Patterson and Betty Asbill. Jeanne Kline,
bride-to-be, was also entertained at a miscellaneous shower given by
Charlotte Key.

Still another Agnes Scott bride will be Norah Anne Little. She
was given a seated tea at the Alumnae House by Helen Edwards and
Sarah Tucker, and Sara Jane Campbell entertained her at luncheon
at Franklin Simons. Jean Osborn, who'll be coming down the aisle
before long, was given a tea by Norah Ann Little, Sarah Tucker, Helen
Edwards and Harriot Ann MeGuire. These seniors have really been
busy! Last Wednesday Ginny Skinner, Mary Louise Warlick, Anne
Williamson, and Charlotte Bartlett gave a party at the Alumae House
for Harriot Anne MeGuire, Jean Osborn, Norah Anne Little and Anne
Irwin. Harriot Anne was feted at a bridge party given by Dot Medlock
Bond.

Wedding signs are also being shown by Pat Buie, who is sporting a
diamond ring, while Claire Foster and Beryl Crews have taken the
first step and gotten pinned. Of course Claire has an SAE pin, and
Beryl has a Chi Phi. Congratulations to these girls and the other
girls on campus who are getting married in the near future, for in-
stance, Louise Arant, Jessie Carpenter, Sally Lou Dickert, Frances
Givens, Pat Gleaton, Ann Goodwyn, Anne Irwin, Todd McCain, Marcy
O'Ferrall, Genie Paschal, Joann Peterson, Martha Stowell, Norma
Waldrop, Betty Wilson, Dot Davis, Frances GivenS, Pat Buie,
and BeBo.

Among the notes on showers and bridal parties, I found a little news
about some of the gals who are celebrating the closing of school. Jim-
rnie Ann McGee and Jackie Pharr went to the Delta Sigma Phi dinner
dance, and Jo Anne Christopher, Jane Price, and Jerry Keef celebrated
at the Paradise Room. To relax from the strain of exams, Ginny
Skinner, Harriot Anne MeGuire, Jean Osborn and Mary Louise Warliek
went on a picnic. Katherine Nelson got a Lambda Chi pin Thursday
night.

Is Freedom Of Speech Enough?
Not In Senator McCarthy Case

By CISSIE SPIRO

The federal government must protect our right to freedom
of speech; the federal government must also furnish us with
protection from the abusive or untrue statements which
some might hurl against us. How can we reach a balance be-
tween what some citizens must be permitted to say and what
cannot be said.

How can we claim to respect
the rights and beliefs of others
when a senator like McCarthy is
given the right to publicly label
officials in our government with
the title of "Communist." Owen
Lattimore escaped complete ruin

at the hands of McCarthy and
his followers only through the
honest attempt of other persons
in Washington to give the man a
chance to clear himself. Alger
Hiss was not so fortunate, and the
average citizen will never know
whether or not he ever was a
Communist.

Brands are being placed upon
people by other individuals as
well. Paul Draper and Larry Ad-
ler have not been able to receive
a verdict of libel against the wo-
man who could have ruined their
careers when she called them

Where will this labeling lead
to? Can any political victory be
achieved through simply calling
your opponent names? Can ca-
reers and futures be destroyed?
The government must protect us
from the fear of being "labeled;"
and we, as citizens, must be
aware enough of the branding to
be careful before we condemn
someone or accept his misnomer.

Black Cat Changes To White For Spirit Of '50

(The Personal History of the Spirit of '50)

No one knew why it had rained, but it had. Perhaps it was
better that way, because as the Spirit of '50 drove up to Main
in a taxi on the sixteenth of September, 1946, she forgot her
own feelings and sent her sympathy to the one tiny damp
leaf that clung fervently to the cold, glassy branch of a
gnarled old oak tree; and it made

her feel better. It was probably
the only thing she ever could have
found that looked more miserable
than she felt, she reflected later.
It was in reflection, too, one day
after Spirit, as she soon Came to
be called, had nearly missed a li-
brary class, that she remembered
the tiny black cat that had crossed
her path as the taxi had rounded
the drive. But she tried to forget
that; because, really, she wasn't
superstitious, and why worry
about a small black cat when the
sophomores were trying to take
away from you that cat that your
sister class had won two years in
a row a sister class that certain-
ly expected you to keep up the old
tradition.

Brush Wielder '

So Spirit worked hard. She
painted scenery, learned partially
a few songs, and learned lines she
would never forget, like, "Don't
forget to write your % mutter and
thank her for the peanut butter."
Still, it was not until the sopho-
mores sang "Some Gotta Win,
Some Gotta Lose," and she saw
the plaster cat go to the joyous
class of '49 that Spirt knew, too
late, what she had worked so hard
for. The disappointed sister class
was sweet; they came to Inman
and sang "Hush, Little Freshmen,
Don't You Cry;" but it didn't help
too much, especially when Spirit
saw, as she raised the window that
night, a small black animal slink
into the hedge of the Alumnae
garden. She tried not to be su-
perstitious, but she hoped silently
that the cat lived a long way away
and that she would never see him
again.

One day Spirit saw a little white
cat. It was after Christmas when
the freshmen, having found that
they could live through exams
and that they could forget about
being homesick and 'that snow did
fall in Georgia, had worked hard
to collect funds so that Carolyn
Wells might reign over Club She-
herazade. It was that night while
remembered strains of "Here's to
the Freshmen" tumbled over each
other in Spirit's mind that she
gazed happily out the window and
saw a fuzzy white kitten chasing
its shadow in the moonlight. She
ran down the stairs to play with
him; but when she got there, he
was gone. But she was glad she

had seen him, if just from a dis-
tance.

Spring-Board Home

During the weeks that followed
Spirit forgot about both the black
cat and the white cat. Winter
quarter exams came; and then
with spring quarter came, of
course, Spring, with all the dog-
wood and tours out West Pace's
Ferry; with treks to Venetian and
Stone Mountain; with fraternity
house parties to North Georgia.
Exams that quarter were no pro-
blem. They were merely a barrier
between Spirit and home, and no
sooner was her history compre-
hensive under Miss Jackson over
than she jumped in a taxi and
scurried to the Terminal just in
time to catch the train home.
Then she had time to ponder over
her freshman year. Surveyed from
a train going toward home, it
didn't seem so bad. She counted
over her friends. After a year of
dining room co-op, she was afraid
that numbered among them were
only those girls who had tried to
keep table cloths clean and who
drank only one cup of coffee.
Spirit thought, too, of Mr. Stukes'
laugh during exams and how it
had buoyed her on another page
when she bogged down on that last
"compare and contrast" question
in history. And it was certainly
a smug feeling to know that (it
had finally leaked out, in spite of
upper classmen's efforts to keep
it quiet) that her class had used
up in the first week of school the
year's supply of date slips in the
dean's office. Yes, ;t was a smug
feeling, even though you knew
that the year you entered college
was the year that all the boys
were coming back from the army.

Spirit came back to Agnes Scott
her sophomore year feeling very
much older than she had the year
before. She lived in Rebekah, far
away from the spot where she had
first seen the little black cat. She
was very much at home on the
campus, having already registered
and acting as a sophomore helper
to show the freshmen around. It
made her very worldly to be able
to tell the neophytes that they
would be able to tell how many
times a boy had been out to Agnes
Scott by whether or not he stum-
bled over the "too high" third step
in the front of Main.

There was so much to tell about

Compliments

of

BEDDING'S PHARMACY

the summer that there was little
time to think about the two little
cats. Soon it was time for the
stunt and this time the plaster cat
went to the Class of '50, and Spirit
was very happy. She had made the
backdrop that made the gym look
like a view of the New York tene-
ment section. She thought she
saw the little white cat on the
lawn that night; but there was no
moon, so she wasn't sure. She
was sorry she hadn't had a better
glimpse of him or been able to
watch him longer. But why worry
about an old white cat when she
had that 211 paper to worry
about, Not much time for any-
thing else, now.

Still Little Gals
Spirit found many things to do
while she was a sophomore. She
also found herself in a dilemma
as to whether to be sophisticated
or to hang onto the last vestiges
of her childhood. So she decided
to do both. She went to the ATO
and SAE formals to see Dee and
Charlotte presented as sponsors.
In between the formals and Doo-
lies Frolics and the Engineers'
Ball, she had water fights with
rubber pistols, and even took aim
at the faculty as they came out
of the dining room; but fortunate-
ly a better-modulated friend put
a restraining hand on the trigger
finger. At night after lights-out
she went down to Cathy's room
for fudge or a freezer of ice cream.
One night she was nearly scared
out of her numerals when the
people on third floor made a dum-
my out of an old cake box and
dropped it down outside her win-
dow.

That year she stayed for grad-
uation. Being able to keep her
lights on all night, she was dis-
mayed to find out she couldn't
stay up all night even when she
was allowed to. That Saturday
she picked daisies in the steady-
drizzle and found enough damp
blossoms to make a few nosegays
along the long expanse of ivy
that if, if she mixed the daisies
with enough of the bitterweed she
found along the highway. The
white cat came around the front
porch of Inman, and several times
Spirit went over toward him to
play; but he always eluded her as
he had done all that year. At least
she thought, he stays around
more than the black one.
Junior Successes

Spirit's junior year passed in a
hurry. The work she had started
in the spring after elections was
in full swing, and she enjoyed see-
ing the outcome of her ingenuity.
There was a by-line in the News,
a party that went over especially
well, and a succesful battle
against the Greenbacks. Cotillion
dance that winter was especially
memorable, having many colorful
embellishments. Elections came
amid much excitement, everyone
wondering where she would have
to live the next year. Spirit
thought it would be so nice to be
able to stay in one of the cottages
for anotheV year, but one thought
of the prowlers at Lupton made
her long for the cozy safety of
three flights of stairs.

The little white cat was pretty
far back in Spirit's memory until
the beginning of spring quarter.
Then she and her classmates were
in charge of things and they had
great plans. She felt a bit inexpe-
rienced as she sat in her first Exec
meeting without any seniors

around, but it was a good feeling

to know that she really had some
decisions to make. It was when
she was thinking of all the things
her class could do for the school
that the little white cat pressed
his nose on the door of Murphey
Candler as if he wanted to get it.
But he ran away when she went
to the door to let him in.

That summer was filled mostly
with fall plans. Spirit realized
when she got back to school that
that was the last time she would
be returning; but June was far
away, and the year was ahead of
her. Right at the moment, she
was busy chaperoning freshmen.
That was quite an experience. It
was like playing grab-bag at the
fair she never knew- whether she
was goin^ to come up with some-
thing interesting or a dud. But
she met people that way, and she
was really kind of sorry when the
freshmen could double-date. Not
that she didn't love freshmen
even though they did wake her up
at two a. lit. pushing a garbage can
down the stairs. (Secretly Spirit
wondered why she hadn't thought
of that trick when she was a fresh-
man.)

Two Big Events

Winter quarter passed quickly,
as Spirit and her classmates look-
ed forward to spring quarter when
they would have nothing to do ex-
cept put on Senior Opera, go to
parties, and, of course, graduate.

Then that blessed time ca,me,
but Spirit found that there was
more to Senior Opera and graduat-
ing than she had anticipated.
Gretta had a way of making peo-
ple work and like it at the same
time, so Spirit sang and painted
and learned lines during her last
few weeks of her senior year, just
as she had done the first few
weeks of her freshman year. But
now it was different. There seem-
ed to be a goal, something more
than just a production, indefina-
ble as that goal might have been.
There was that night at the snack
bar when Spirit led all the cast in
"Way up Yonder in the Frozen
North" and "Cannibal King," and
everybody practiced the opera un-
til eleven o'clock without a com-
plaint. Spirit thought the little
white cat must be living around
Presser because he seemed always
to be there. Always, too, how-
ever, he was elusive.

That is, he was elusive until the
night of senior opera. That night
he stayed in the wings, and Spirit
thought she even saw him smile
when he saw "the hat" come
sweeping in. She knew he smiled
when the Veep and company ar-
rived in the unconvertible. And
then, after the curtain closed and

everybody stood behind stage
singing "Hail Class of '50," the lit-
tle white cat came out of the
wings, and as the first notes of
"Auld Lang Syne" began to come
forth, the little white cat came
over to Spirit, arched his back,
and purred contentedly as he
rubbed his soft fur against her an-
kles.

Spirit reached down and picked
him up. She knew now why he
had been elusive. She knew, too,
why he had decided at that mo-
ment to let her touch him. She
knew, too, that the indefinable
goal of Senior Opera was now de-
finable: and now attained, it could
be carried with her as an overtone
of her college career. What she
wondered was whether or not that
was really a black cat that had
crossed the path that first drizzly
day when she arrived at Agnes
Scott four wonderful years ago.

Hear Rumbles?
Keep Up; Read
Current News

By HELEN EDWARDS

Maybe you can't move moun-
tains, but you can certainly keep
up with the people who are, if
you hear a rumble in the distance.

It shouldn't take up too much
time from your job, housekeep-
ing, or traveling, either.

Mrs. Roff Sims, associate 1 pro-
fessor of history and political
science, who seems to keep up
with even the slightest tremors
in any corner of the world, has
a very simple formula for the
average lay, although her own is
a bit more strenuous. This formu-
la, she says, is of course presup-
posing a college education.

The first ingredient is a daily
newspaper so as to get the news
as it happens. To get the order
of events in some sort of coher-
ent fashion, however, you should
read a weekly review; and for the
most comprehensive and objective
account, Mrs. Sims prescribes the
fourth section of the New York
Times entitled "Review of the
Week." She inserts here that
weekly news magazine may be
helpful, but that they are more
sensational than the Times.

For commentary and general
summation of events, Mrs. Sims
says that a monthly digesting of
Harper's or The Atlantic Month-
ly is a good habit. They give you
the comments of experts in their
fields and cover a wide latitude
of subjects.

Of course, anything you might
like to read on the side would
help. The Times is good for al-
most anything; and although Mrs.
Sims didn't mention it. Bennett
Serf in the Saturday Review of
Literature has a sensational col-
lection of jokes, and that should
certainly be part of a well-round-
ed education. If you find your-
self being snowed under in an ar-
gument, you can always say, "I
say, that reminds me of a joke."
Just don't forget the punch line.

Bedraggled Seniors Will Wealth

By JESSIE HODGES

To whom it may concern:

We the class of 1950, being void of mentality, possessors of
emaciated bodies, victims of schizophrenia, flat feet, and dan-
druff,, do hereby make this, our last will and testament, on
this the third day of June, nineteen hundred and fifty.

We, Harriot Ann McGuire, Jean

Osborn, Genie Paschal, Dot Davis,
Joann Peterson, Martha Stowell,

teachers think we are taking
notes, to all the girls who will be

gree next year.

the library, and get absolutely no
studying done, to anyone who can
get a library card.

I, Helen Edwards, leave my re-
pertoire of jokes, all three of
them, to Mr. Stukes in the hope
that he can get more laughs from
people than I can.

I, Peggy Penuel, do leave my
creative ability to all the future
writers of Black Cat, Junior Joint

Driveway Markers
Honor Late Trustee

The new granite markers at
the entrance to the Agnes Scott

campus are memorials to Col.
Milton A. C andler, a former trus-
tee. The gateway which is being
replaced by the Gothic-style en-
trance was a memorial to Mr.
Candler. It was erected in 1913
by a group of relatives and
friends.Mr. Candler was a trustee
for 13 years.

Bronze markers in the granite
read, "This driveway is named in
honor of Milton A. Candler, for
many years an able and helpful
trustee of Agnes Scott College."

Telephone Troubles

Another year has passed. Some of us are graduating, mar-
rying or transferring to other schools. The rest of us will re-
turn in the fall to begin a new year with old friends and new.

Now is the time to discuss needed campus improvements.
One of the most annoying and useless problems is the tele-
phone situation. Could we not have more outside lines? For
350 boarding students, seven lines are just insufficient. The
operators are overworked; consequently students lose a great
deal of time.

No cottage has a pay phone on which to make long-dis-
tance calls, causing students to waste even more time in hav-
ing to go to Inman or some other dormitory to use the phone.
They usually are forced to wait while Jean or Jane discus-
ses the weather with her latest Atlanta crush.

Before next year, let's have new phones and more outside
lines. The time gained in efficient service would be well
worth the money spent. A. B.

Class Prophet Keeps Talent Hidden; Reveals Secrets of Future

By FRAXKIE HOWERTOX

In prophesying the future of this distinguished class of
1950, there are several aims which I might mention.

One is to avoid uncovering the hidden talents of my class-
matesthe arts and crafts that parents, husbands, and boy
friends know not yet.

My second is to try to get eve-
ryone in this net of Fate. My
apologies to any who manage to
escape.

My foremost aim is to be realis-
tic and face the fact of this brave
new generation.

There are a few predictions
that I shall let fall where they
may.

A certain percentage of this
class of '51 will have gone the
way that all good Agnes Scotters
should,

"to the land of chewing gum
and cigarettes,

no term papers and free min-
utes."

Five of us shall have retired
to that lovely resort town south-
east of here where delusions of
grandeur and persecution you do
endure. In walking through the
corridors galloping Flossie Wil-
liamson flew by on a white horse.
Also Dr. Joyce Rives, the noted
Freudian analyst will be on your
genial hostess.

Free Females

Eleven of our appealing cherubs
will be among the increasing
number of females free from en-
tanglements with that species of
homo sapiens Man for those who
haven't had biology. We find
Charlotte Evans in this group as
an old maid school teacher.

In turning to more optimistic
events, 99 of the class will have
becomes halves of a whole in that
basic unit of society, one of the
four institutions created by and
for mankind (for further infor-
mation take Family 311). Hazel
Berman Karp has a long line of
little Karp by now. Rosellen
Potter will" be teaching the Pot-
ter children the history of the
Republican party. Jean Niven will
be the wife of a General in the
Marines. Polly Anna Philips Har-
ris is now giving her brood month-
ly I. Q. tests. Others in domestic
service better known as married
life are Betty Van Houren and
Betty Phillips Lindsay, Mary
olive Partee Watts, Mabel Hud-
son, B. J. Combs Moon\ and Jane
Sharkcv Cobb.

Ann Windham has come back
to this famed institution to take
Miss Leyburn's place, Isabel Tms-
low is teaching the history of art,

Rissie Rowe is full professor of
psychology. Libby Dunlap is dean
of girls now, while Todd McCain
is the first woman president of
Agnes Scott. Mary Alice McDon-
ald has just contributed $10,000
to the Alumnae Fund for a new
fence. Dr. Mary Wilson and her
two assistants Julia Goode and
Gussie Sinclair Foster are work-
ing in the laboratory on the chemi-
cal analysis of Agnes Scott grad-
uates.

Just A Little Cottage

We find Joann Piastre in a vine
covered cottage. Ida Pennington
is counseling in marital relations
and Louise Staples is an active
case worker for the Family Ser-
vice Society. Alline Marshall has
just published four volumes on
the "Personality of Spermatocy-
tes." Sarah Hancock has just fin-
ished a tour of lectures on "Quan-
titative Analysis of Binomial Dif-
ferentials".

Margaret Litchwardt is still
happily married. Katherine Dick-
ey is doing well selling Fuller
Brush these days. Dr. Ann Griggs
and her assistants Miriam Carroll
and Ann Green have just discover-
ed the "Hadacol" for mad cows.

Anne Haden is now private sec-
retary to Truman. Mary Louise
Warlick is coach for the Tech
football team.

Ann Williamson is still contem-
plating the nature of metaphysical
reality.

Helen Edwards has a best sell-
ler "The Lives and Loves of
Caesar Romero." Pat Buie is
teaching in a Boys Reform school.
Margaret Glenn has all the prob-
lem children of the fourth grade
of the Atlanta school system. Liza
White is teaching in a private
girls school. More in the teach-
ing line Patty Phillips is train-
ing fleas and Frances Givens is
teaching the camels how to walk.
Stopping by the Fair grounds, I
find Terrell Warburton running
a merry-go-round. Nell Dahlberg

In the thriving metropolis which
is the height of civilization, num-
erous of our graduates have col-
lected. Dot Bond is now Editor

the chorus line are Jean Edwards
and Charlotte Bartlett. Bess Lun-
deen is dancing with the Ballet
Russe which is here for a season.

her dingy gallery. Recently Mrs.
Got rocks, formerly Josephine
Kane, commissioned her to do one.
Also in that Bohemian village
Louise Arant with her horn, Sal-
ly Thompson with her drums, and
Mary Caroline Schwab at the pi-
ano have formed an orchestra
called the Hottentots. Crooning
the blues with them is Frankie
Morris. In Times Square Carolyn
Garrison is directing traffic.

On Broadway Emily Pope is
playing the witch in Shake-
speare's "Macbeth." Another gi-
gantic production is that of "South
of the Mason Dixon" written by
Marjie Major and Pete Peterson,
directed by Gretta Moll, and star-
ring Margaret Hopkins.

Footlight Happy

At the Waldorf-Astoria Cathy
Davis is master of ceremonies.
Starring there now is the Aggie
Sister Trio Vippi Patterson, E.
A. Reid, and Betty Asbill. Among
the socialites in their audience are
Babs Young and Jane Oliver.

Famous dress designer is June

Price. Modeling for her is Evelyn
Long. Mary Ann Hatchel is doing
hat designing for Schaparelli.

Anne Irwin was Mrs. Santa
Claus this year for the whole of
New York. Eleanor Ryan is re-
ceptionist at Rockefeller Center.

Marguerite Jackson is announc-
ing for the Jessie Hodges Show
which just received the television
award of the year. Elizabeth
Flowers is narrator for the Su-
per Suds program "Lizzy Loves
Izzy." Jean Osborn is singing com-
mercials. Her recent hit is

"Pest Control, Pest Control"
Buzz-Buzz-Buzz."

In the institution of law we
find Honorable Judge Sarah Tuc-
ker presiding over the case of
"Smoke or not to Smoke." Ann
Gebhardt and Gabie Menzel are
the two lawyers on the case while
Ann Pitts is chief detective. Oh
yes, Adele Lee has recently been
elected sheriff of DeKalb County.
Lazy Bones

Jessie Carpenter is sleeping late.
Jane Cook is head make-up artist
at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. Peggy
Penuel has just completed her
second satire on Shakespeare.

In far away' places: M. Stowell
is with her husband in Timbuck-
too. Close by, Sajie Campbell is
resting in Siberia after touring
Europe a dozen times. Barbara
Lawson is in the jungles of Cen-
tral America still hunting. Janet
Sowell is better known as Danc-

ing Dynamite, hostess on the
Queen Elizabeth. In Madrid. Pat
Overton is managing the financial
affairs of John D. Rockefeller.
Basking on the shores of the Ve-
netian are Jo Anne Christopher,
Beryl Crews, and Lil Lasseter
(note: all three have to sit at the
back of the bus). Louise Harant
just swam the English channel.
Karin Thorbeck has just been ap-
pointed Agnes Scott representa-
tive to the United Nations. Marie
Heng has just finished interning
at Johns Hopkins.

Closer to home we find that
Lyd Gardner, Sne McSpadden, B.
J. Crowther, and Genie Paschal
are driving in the 'hot rod races.
The odds are two to one in favor
of Genie Paschal.

Cama Clarkson is a famous ta-
too artist.

And as for myself, I shall con-
tinue fortune-telling for a slight
fee, however.

In conclusion for my protec-
tion and yours, any resemblance
between these people and persons
living or dead is purely coinci-
dental.

favorite new fashions
to knit, crochet fir sew

At least once every season some
magazine sends a feature writer
around to sound out a couple of
bright young men on what they're
looking for in a wife. Mostly the
girl of their dreams seems to run
to someone halfway between Hedy
Lamarr and Whistler's mother, who
is also an expert skier, a brilliant
listener and longs to live in a
ranch house with 2.3 or is it 3.2?
children.

Me, if I were a romantic lad in a
button-down shirt being quizzed
on my favorite matrimonial candi-
dates, I'd ask for one with good
bones, healthy parents, a sense of
humor and a nimble thimble. It
sure is an asset to a struggling
young man to have a wife who can
look like a million without making
a dent in an undernourished budget.

Here, if you want to start train-
ing to be a model wife, are some
bright summer fashions easy to
make as falling out of a hammock.
And if you want FREE directions
for making, all you do is write to
me at the address below.

Make mine vanilla. Comes a time
in every girl's life when,
willy-nilly, the situation calls for
millinery. Being interviewed for a
job, going to tea at your best beau's
house, lunch at a hotel, Sunday-
morning-go-to-meeting . . . they all
call for a hat! Here's a pert piqu6
beret easy to wear as it is to make
and dunkable so it's white for al-
ways. Its only trimming a cluster
of white pearl buttons on a small
tab, it's the tops for all your city
and country clothes.

Perfectly matched, you and your
favorite beau especially when
you've knitted him a striped pull-
over just like yours. We have no
intention of making like Dorothy
Dix, but we've yet to meet a young
man who doesn't dote on the
sweater that's been made for him
and ditto on the young woman
who's made it! Chances are you'll
fill yours better but he'll wear his
so often the moths will never get
a nibble at it, particularly if it's
this classic pullover right for cam-
pus, beach or just sitting around
and exercising the imagination
about the future.

See you in October with the new
fall fashions. Until then, sew long!

Campus Slips

Exam-worn reporter and music

state of oblivion, calls music build-
ing "Pressure Hall."

A DREAM COME TRUE Most expensive building to be
constructed on the campus, the John Bulow Campbell
Science Hall, will be erected soon. Three homes will be

Work On Science Hall To Begin
With Moving Of Homes On Site

By SALLY VEALE

Biology on the first floor, chemistry on the second, physics
on the third: it will be another 'dream come true for Agnes
Scott, one of the "buildingest" schools in the South. Through
the tireless efforts of Dr. James R. McCain, president, the
John Bulow Campbell Science Hall is soon to become a real-
ity of stone and brick and glass.

"There is available at the pres-
ent moment $550,000 for the
building," said Dr. McCain. "It
will be the most expensive build-
ing yet erected on the campus."
Plans and specifications have been
given to various contractors. Firm
bids will be available by the mid-
dle of June, and building will pro-
ceed immediately.

The main entrance will be at
the left in the picture. The walk
that leads from Buttrick back to
West Lawn will go to that door.
At the far left (not visible in the
picture), the walk will extend
which is now between the library
and Buttrick. The door at the far
right will be next to Presser Hall.
Former Finance Chairman

In his annual report to the
Board of Trustees June 2, Dr.
McCain told for whom the build-
ing was named. Mr. Campbell
was for many years a
trustee of the College and the
chairman of the Finance commit-
tee. The foundation which bears
his name and the General Educa-
tion Board have been eur largest
donors in providing funds."

Naturally, this will entail a
great deal of moving. West Lawn
will be moved cnce more. The
homes now occupied by William
Joe Frierson, professor of chem-
istry, and Lewis H. Johnson, re-
tiring associate professor of mu-
sic, will be moved to Dougherty
Street, in the location between
the home of S. Guerry Stukes,
registrar, and the Agnes Scott
power plant. William A. Calder,
professor of physics and astron-

the right of West Lawn will be
moved to McDonough Street, next
to the home of Miss Margaret
Trotter, assistant professor of
English. (West Lawn first stood
where Rebekah now stands, and
was called "West" because it was
west of Main. Next it was moved
to the present library site, and
then to its present position.
Dougherty Street will be its
fourth location!) The former home
of Paul Leslie Garber, professor
of Bible, will be torn down.

Walters Provides
Funds For Entrance

Mrs. Frances Winship Walters
has provided funds for a new en-
trance to College Avenue, which
is suggestive of a famous one at
Yale University. The entrance
will be made of brick and lime-
stone.

Construction is already under-
way and the gate is expected to
be completed early in June.

The former gateway has been
stored for tentative use as an en-

Between The Vision

And The Work

By PEGGY PENUEL

s I

In the last moment at the hour's depth

We are alone with knowledge and with doubt,

Knowing above the chorus of our joy

The strange and soaring descant of despair.

For there are barriers in the minds of men

That will not ask of us what we can give:

Hiding the hunger, lifted heads of pride,

Hiding the need, the shining eyes of fear.

Or somwhere in our minds, reality

Has been betrayed, and we have grasped instead

Solutions to the problems that exist

No more, and ways of thought discarded now.

We who have found the question without answer
Wander through a vast waste land alone,
Inhabit the ruined temples with our cries,
Waking the echoes in the broken stone.

II

We who have seen a new-lit candle flame
Flicker, and fail, and flare into the dark
Know what it is, thi darkness of the soul,
This time between the vision and the work.
And now the harsh notes of the descant fade,
Leaving in us a strength that ends despair,
Enjoins the heart to follow where it leads,
And is itself an answer and an end.

There is a voice that speaks our name
And stills the scornful laughter of the mind:
Out of the burning bush we draw a flame,
Command the thread of life the dry bones wind.

and George P. Hayes, professor of
English, were on opposite teams
at practice. Both were watching
the ball while the student was try-
ing to make a run and Mr. Hayes
was acting as catcher. They say
the collision was heard for miles
around.

Sub-Varsity Loses
To Varsity Players

By ADALIXE MILLER

The Agnes Scott "World Se-
ries" opened Thursday afternoon
May 18, with the Varsity's de-
feating the Sub-Varsity 8-4.

Genie Paschal, Varsity, opened
the game with a hit to first base
and then proceeded to steal home,
scoring the only run in the first
inning by either team. At the end
of the second inning both teams
were holding their own, the score
being 2-2.

The third inning was the deter-
mining one of the game. The Var-
sity came to bat in the top half and
scored four runs. Because of her
excellent pitching, Winnie Stro-
'zier held the Sub-Varsity to one
run in the bottom half of the inn-
ing.

In the fourth inning the Sub-
Varsity made a valliant try to
gain the lead. Mary Louise War-
lick made a beautiful "steal" into
second base; but time was against
them and the game ended with
the Varsity victorious.

Playing for the Varsity team
were pitcher Winnie Strozier (2);
catcher, Barbara Lawson; first
base, Frances Cook (2); second
base, Mattie Hart (1); third base,
Alline Marshall; shortstop, Todd
McCain; right field, Mary Beth
Robinson (1); left field, Genie
Paschal (2); center field, Jenelle
Spear.

The Sub-Varsity team consist-
ed of pitcher, Mary Louise War-
lick; catcher, Anne Baxter; first
base, Frankie Morris (2) second
base, Anne Potts; third base,
Mary Anna Ogden; shortstop,
Nena Hale; left field, Anne Her-
man (1); center field, Barbara

Girls Defeat
A. S. Faculty
6-4 In Game

Under sunny skys, the Varsity
defeated a fighting faculty team
6-4 in a second game played
Tuesday, May 23. The Varsity, hav-
ing previously lost to the faculty,
challenged them to play again.

The first game was preceded
by a rain storm; and many of the
Varsity players, assuming that the
game would be postponed, could
not be found. When the Varsity's
scattered team was brought to-
gether, it proved more than a
match for the faculty members.

Playing for the faculty were
Miss Molly Milam, assistant to
the dean (1); Dick Forman; Ray-
mond M. Jones, engineer (1),
George P. Hayes, professor of
English; Miss Helena Williams, in-
structor in physical education (1);
William J. Frierson, professor of
chemistry; W. A. Strozier, pro-
fessor of Romance languages at
Emory university; Bobby Frier-
son (1); and Dr. Margaret Vance,
resident physician.

On the Varsity team were Genie
Paschal (1); Barbara Lawson;
Cathy Davis (1); Mary Beth Rob-
inson (1); Frances Cook (1) Je-
nelle Spear (1) Todd McCain;
Mattie Hart (1); and Winnie Stro-
zier.

Dining Hall
To Open In Fall

The new Agnes Scott dining
hall should be completed by next
fall quarter, Dr. J. R. McCain,
president, announced recently.

The building is named for Mrs.
Letitia Pate Evans, of Hot
Springs, Va. who has been
helpful in the educational pro-
gress of Emory university as well
as that of Agnes Scott. Mrs.
Evans is now serving on the Ag-
nes Scott board of trustees.

Requiring the addition of an-
other dietician to the staff of two,
the building was designed to
provide ample space for ban-
quets and entertainment. The
plans include a faculty dining
room, a room for vespers, ban-
quet rooms, a private dining hall
for special banquets, and lunch
accommodations for day students.
