(This column is designed to
give the students an insight into
current affairs occurring in the
world at large. It is based upon
personal interpretation of news or
magazine items, and subjects are
chosen according to the news of
the day. Today's column is con-
cerned with political impressions
received while living in Germany
this past summer.)

Since the beginning of human
nature, there have been wars. His-
tory relates countless tales of
bloodshed, and woe, stemming
from man's combined desires for
power and possession. Prominent
among the struggles of country
against country have been the
endless chain of quarrels between
the lands of the German and
French peoples.

The situation could be described
in this fashion: here lie two na-
tions, side by side. Their cultures,
tongues, manners, backgrounds
differ. Dividing them quite prom-
inently is the valley of Saar, rich
in coal. In addition each country
holds assets of great value. Each
country is a green pasture, but
the pastures of the other always
seem richer, more promising,
than those already in possession.
And there they lie, in a combined
area less than that of the United
States. As history will indicate,
whenever one of them felt himself
man enough to lick the other, and
thereby have a larger and green-
er pasture ,the armies would de-
scend and blood would flow.

Germany today lies amid the
rubble resulting from the latest
conquest, the second World War.
In cities, especially major ones as
Frankfurt-am J Main, Coblenz, and
Cologne, once magnificent build-
ings stand crumpled and torn, in

mute testimony to the horrors of
bomb and anti-aircraft flak. Chil-
dren trudge along the brick-litter-
ed streets in last decade's tatters,
and old women, with faces en-
graved with the loss of loved ones
and their cause, stare at passing
American cars with looks of bit-
ter hatred and despair.

And Germany, with its Cause
and its Fuhrer, started the war
the war which was to bring the
world under Nazi control, the war
to extend green pastures.

Germany is on its knees, slow-
ly rising with aid from other
countries. For the* men in whose
hands the future of Germany lies,
the problem is grave. It is hard
to know which decisions are wise,
which will help. It is essential to
keep these truths in mind when
reading of any decision involving
the stricken land.

Colder Announces
Public Open Night

William A. Calder, professor
of Physics and Astronomy has
announced the, first in a series
of "open nights" at the observa-
tor for the public beginning at
7:30 p. m. on Oct. 8. Dr. Cald-

open only if the night of Oct.

Peters,'! odd Delight Campus
By Being 'Just Plain Human

Man}'- a time in the days of youth the seemingly glorious
and brilliant life of a movie star is most earnestly and wist-
fully longed for.

In the imagination the land of film and make-up is a
dazzling world, full of candy and sp ; ~e and all things nice,
peopled by superhuman charac

ters with loads of money, talent,
swimming pools, happiness, popu-
larity.

The last thing in the world one
would expect of a creature of
filmdom Is ordinariness. To sug-
gest the possibility of a movie
star being an ordinary human be-
ing would be absurd.

Yet that's the way it is.

In the past few days our cam-
pus was invited and worked upon
by several members of the Holly-
wood populace. It was surprising
to observe perspiration on the
face of the distinguished director,
to see traces of fatigue on the
features of not only the camera-
man and workmen, but also ap-
pearing on the leading stars as
well.

The business of being the lead-
ing lady or man is pure, unblem-
ished work. Miss Peters and Mr.
Todd couldn't have gotten more
tired in any other more common
field of manual labor.

These film folk are decidedly
human, and it is a refreshing fact
to note. The patience and ability
of Miss Peters were wonderful.
She has the charming, quiet man-
ner of an artist on the job, trying
to do her job well, definitely not
for the purpose of showing off.
And the girl's consideration for
others is delightful.

This current film is the last
movie Miss Peters intends to do
for a while. Recently married to
Stuart Cramer, a Charlotte, N. C.
businessman, she apparently sees
the value and importance of being
a good housewife above all else.
Her decision is wise.

Mr. Todd, who has just returned
from a stay in England, is also
a delightful and refreshing per-
sonality. The students were pleas-
ed with his most un-snobbish at-
titude about the whole thing. Any-
one observing him chatting with
a group of students in Murphey
Candler, quite interesting and
interested in all about him, would
never doubt that the man Is first
and foremost a human being,
second, a celebrity.

The attitude of the college stu-
dent body was also highly com-
mendable. The students paid Miss
Peters and 'Mr. Todd a great com-

Guild Brings Play
To Campus Oct. 2

The Broadway play, "You Can't
Take It With You", is coming to
the Agnes Scott campus on Oct.
2, Saturday night. The curtains
will go up in Presser Hall at 8:15
p. m. This production is being pre-
sented by the St. Thomas More
Theatre Guild.

The tickets are priced at $1.00
for adults and 50 cents for chil-
dren. "You Can't Take It With
You" is a comedy by Moss Hart
and George Kaufman, which won
the Pulitzer prize for drama in
1937.

pliment by treating them as ordi-
nary folk, not freaks from outer
space, as it were, and' this atti-
tude did much toward setting
the duo at ease in this, an entirely
foreign situation.

,Miss Charlene Crosby of the
Harper School of Beauty Culture,
who was chosen to play a bit part
in the filming, mentioned to Miss
Peters how very pleased she was
to discover the 'humanity' of
movie stars. Tbe Agnes Scott stu-
dent body seconds this approval
most heartily. Our sincere thanks,
Jean and Dick, not only for the
excellent artists that you are, but
for being and for showing us
that you are just plain human.

Kitty To Reign
Over Campus

Black Cat, an Agnes Scott tradition quite familiar to
upperclassmen, will bring songs, skits, and fun to the campus
again on Saturday, October 9.

The purpose of this event is to welcome the new freshman
class, and to help them get acquainted with their own class as
well as the campus community.

Black Cat Day also provides a get-
together for the whole communi-
ty. In the traditional Black Cat
celebration the talent in drafcia,
song, and artistic endeavor are
contributed by the students to pro-
duce a celebration honoring the
freshmen.

The activities will last from
5:30 to 8:30 p. m. They will begin
with a picnic supper for the entire
campus community. At 7:00 there
will be a program given by all of
the classes in the gymnasium.
There will be a song contest in
which each class will present a

Random Survey Samples Life
Of Professors In Summertime

By VANNIE TRAYLOR

Agnes Scott students work, play, and loaf during the sum-
mer and so does the Agnes Scott faculty. This is a random
sampling of the professors' life without us.

Dr. Paul Garber, professor of Bible, attended the sessions
of the Second Assembly of the World Council of Churches
Evanston, Illinois, as press repre-
sentative from the DeKalb New
Era. He then attended in Green-
lake, Wisconsin, an audio-visual
educational workshop sponsored
by the National Council of
Churches in his capacity as an
officer of the National Organiza-
tion for Bible teachers. Moving
on to Duke University in North
Carolina, as a visiting scholar, he
did research on archaeology of the
New Testament.

Miss Melissa Cilley, assistant
professor of Spanish, visited in
New England. She said it was
"cold and rainy" with tempera-
tures of 32 and hailstorms. She
stopped at Washington, D. C, to
do research in the Library of Con-
gress on contemporary Portu-
guese literature.

DV. Anna Greene Smith, assoc-
iate professor of Economics and
Sociology, worked in the Delcraft
Publishing Company in Atlanta.
She said that she got an inside
view of economics and business
there and enjoyed it thoroughly.
She has been re-elected chairman
of the DeKalb County Advisory
Board on Family Service. Her as-
sociate, Dr. Mildred Mell, profes-
sor of Economics and Sociology,
was elected to membership in
this committee.

Dr. Ellen Douglas Leyburn, as-
sociate professor of English, ab-
sent a year from our campus, took
the long way home from her work
in California. She visited Baniff,
Lake Louise in Canada, and Yel-
lowstone National Park.

Miss Mary Boney, assistant pro-
fessor of Bible, spent her summer
in New York City at Union Semi-
nary doing graduate study. Her
dissertation on Paul's use of the
Old Testament is almost complete.
Her vacation was a month at the
beach.

THE AGNES SCOTT NEWS # Wednesday, September 29, 1954

The Final Welcome

By now the freshmen have been properly welcomed by
all members of the Agnes Scott family. We of the Agnes
Scott NEWS extend at this time a most hearty, cordial, and
final WELCOME to all new members of our college commu-
nity-transfers, professors and frosh alike.

It is our earnest desire through this paper to serve you in
every way possible. Now you are no longer outsiders! you
are on the inside of the college. Through the newspaper you
may always have the opportunity to express your opinion
whenever you wish. Our 'Letters to the Editor' department
is always open to you for your opinions on any phase of our
college life.

To the returning members of Agnes Scott we are happy
that ycu are back for another year of Agnes Scott's own
particular brand of play and work, study and instruction.
And to those who are experiencing their first taste of AS
life welcome into the fold. We are sure that your contribu-
tion to our community will be a positive one, and that your
days here will be full and happy. C. W.

MEMO

We have been missing something. Perhaps we felt the
effort required to comb our hair and put on a pair of heels
was too great. Or maybe we just failed to realize that a
talented artist had worked long, hard hours to prepare
the concert we ignored. We have have been missing a most
pleasant phase of our education. Appreciation of good music
and acting is not learned from books. It is acquired in de-
lightful hours spent hearing students and faculty members
perform, seeing Blackfriars plays, and attending Atlanta
Symphony and All-Star concerts.

If we capture these cultural opportunities that have been
slipping by, we will make some stimulating discoveries. That
an evening of music is soothing to the study-tired mind
will amaze some of us. Others will find that college drama
can be as exciting as a night on Broadway. It will also be
revealed to careful observers that student performers as
well as professional artists are thrilled and gratified by
enthusiastic audiences.

Let's meet at the next recital, and remember, loafers and
sox are correct attire for many on campus programs (stu-
dent government says so.) E. S.

Frosh Meet Atlanta Ministers
At Interdenominational Tea

On Friday, the 24th, September from 4-6 p. m. the annual
Meet the Minister's Tea was sponsored by Christian Associa-
tion. Over 60 ministers and youth workers from neighboring
churches in Atlanta and Decatur were invited. Aproximately
300 people attended the teas.

This is the third year in the
history of the tea, and this type
of tea is unique with Agnes Scott.
The purpose of the tea is to create
interest in Atlanta churches and
to help the girls become establish-
ed in these churches. The tea is
not limited to freshmen; upper-
classmcn and faculty members
are also invited. The theme of the
tea is furnish a church home away
from home.

The Interfaith Council of CA,
chairman Rameth Richard, was
in charge of the tea. The tea itself
was divided according to denomi-
nations so that the girls could
meet the ministers of their par-
ticular^ denomination. Working
with Rameth on the Interfaith
Council wore Mary Alice Kemp,
Presbyterian; Eleanor Swain, Bab-
tist; Virginia Hutchinson, Metho-
dist; Helen Fokes, Episcopalian;
Pat Singley, Lutheran; Leah Fine,
Jewish; Genny Lucchcse, Roman
Catholic; Betty McFarland, Chris-
tian; and Jenny Lou McClurkin,
Christian Scientist.

The Presbyterians met in the
reception room in Rebekah, the
Baptists in the recreation room in
Rebekah, the Methodists in the
end date parlor in Main, and the
Episcopalians, Lutherans, Roman
Catholics, Jews, Christians, and
Christian Scientists in different
places in Murphy Candler.

Williamson Opens New Series
FeaturingOutstandingLeaders

By ELEANOR SWAIN

(With this article the News launches a series designed to
introduce Agnes Scott's busiest people to the campus. These
hardworking girls uphold and better our Agnes Scott ideals
and traditions they are our campus leaders.)
A quiet charm and poise, as well as an executive ability,

typify the president of our cam-
pus honorary service organiza-
tion, Mortar Board. She is Mar-
garet Williamson, a senior. Her
presidency of Mortar Board is
the climax of a long series of ser-
vice activities. These include work-
ing as president of her freshman
class, a member of Folio, a sopho-
more lower house member, stu-
dent treasurer and cottage presi-
dent her junior year, and playing
on the hockey team all three
years.

Though serving with dignity in
one of the top campus positions,
Margaret still remembers the
tears and laughter of her fresh-
man year. . . the Indian costume
which fell off at the rush party,
and her outstanding faux pas,
lecturing at a reception to a young
man on the glories of Agnes Scott
and offering to conduct him on a
tour of the campus, only to have
him announce that he was DV. Mc-
Cain's son, and had already seen
it, thank you.

Besides her executive talents
Margaret has a decidedly artistic
nature. She is fascinated by mod-
ern architecture, and all contem-
porary art, jewelry designs as
well as paintings. At home this
versatile leader's hobby is print-
ing and developing her own snap-
shots. At school a favorite ''spare
time killer" is music "with the
Met at the top of the list."

Baseball and liver are the only
dislikes of this English major who
plans to go to graduate school and
afterwards, and to do anything but
teach. Her immediate ambitions
are to ^cl through Agnes Scott
with out putting on glasses and to
pass Dr. Hayes' fact tests, in that
order.

Margaret, influenced by her mo-
ther and sister who are Agnes
Scott, alumnae, traveled all the
way to Decatur from Monticello,
Arkansas. And we who rely on
her leadership and enjoy her per-
sonality are very glad she made
the trip.

First Days Present Ideas,
Chances for Literary Fame

By GENNY LUCCHESE

All Agnes Scott Freshmen who think they're too busy to
keep an extremely accurate record of their first two weeks
at college are missing a golden opportunity for future liter-
ary fame. This is not a difficult undertaking and can actual-
ly be reduced to a simple outline furnishing invaluable
experience for English 101.

Your first main topic will be a
meaty one. . . First Impressions.
Presumably, this will include your
Junior Sponsor. . a fabulous crea-
ture who knew which line was
for what and who explained to
you that the building to the right
of Inman was the dining hall not
the chapel, that even though
your room in Inman did have win-
dows fifty feet high, they could
be properly draped if you con-
centrated on the situation, and
that the building with the lovely
pink walls was the STUDENT'S
ACTIVITIES BUILDING aTid you
were to call it that no matter
what you heard it called by de-
crepit upper classmen who had
fallen into a rut.

Your second main topic will also
be quite juicy. Moving in. Here
your Sophomore Helper must be
included as this was her specialty,
remember? (Sophomore Helpers
are chosen for their pleasing per-
sonalities, sterling characters and
strong back muscles.)

If you live on third Inman,
everybody lost; let's face it.

Don't forget to bring in your
roommate and her personal ef-
fects. Certain aspects of this can
supply your outline with an im-
pressive tragic clement. Remem-
ber how soul searing it was to
settle Good Buddy Horace's pic-
ture on the place of honor on
your dresser, and then find
Roomie covering the top of the
bookcase with photos of gorgeous
creatures that looked like Rich-
ard Todd Plus.

Your next topic will probably
be Rush Parties. This requires
careful treatment. There is noth-

ing like Rush Season. Remember
how you had heard the words
"Tech" "Wreck", "Tea", and
"Emory" causually flung around
among the upper classmen? And
then one day you were approach-
ed by a harrassed Junior (or may-
be she was a senior: you hadn't
gotten them quite straight at the
time). She had a pencil behind
each ear, a huge sheet of paper
and a stricken look. She scribbled
your name, muttered "French
Apache. . Friday night. . . meet
in Main" and scuttled off into
the S. A. B. *

It is imperative that you in-
clude in your outline the types
of these fabulous parties. You
could designate them as Strange
and Stranger. Sort them out for
yourself. There is the Shipwreck
Party also known as a South Sea
Island Ball. At any rate you eith-
er went as a sailor or the entire
dorn went mad trying to get you
into the semblance of a sarong.
There is the Wild West Whing-
Di ng. . . you broke down and
bought a water gun; no one could
call you an isolationist; and don't
forget the Graveyard Gallop where
you wanted to wall yourself up
in a box and go as a tombstone
but gave up and became a plain
old ghost in an artistically drap-
ed sheet.

Expand it into a manuscript at
your leisure, then close your out-
line with" a brief summary, submit
it to a reputable publishing com-
pany, and before we know it
Twentieth Century Fox will pay
us another visit and we'll all be
strollers again.

Mile Prints Survey
Of AS College Life

Agnes Scott is really putting
itself on the map these past few
days, what with Twentieth Cen-
tury Fox invading the campus
and the comprehensive survey of
life at Agnes Scott recently pub-
lished in the October issue of
Mademoiselle.

Excellent picture coverage illus-
trates the article which brings
out. clearly the educational and
social advantages of ASC. Using
the standpoint of a double tradi-
tion of intellectual and social de-
velopment, Mademoiselle calls na-
tionwide attention to Agnes Scott
as one of the "outstanding col-
leges" in our country today.

Due to unfortunate circumstances the NEWS was unable to print
the Last Will and Testament of the Class of 1954 in the final issue
last Spring. We take great pride in doing so at this time.

Hear ye, hear ye- Who said, "They died with their robes on?"
About whom were th efollowing adjectives spoken? "Haggard, be-
draggled, whipped, beat, pooped, wrun gout, fagged?" You don't know?
You flunk ... we did!

Old Seniors never die . . . they just fade away. And as they fade,
they will with their last breath something very near to their hearts.
Here are those last wishes of the class of 1954 . . . listen and cherish
them . . .

1, Ulia Beckman, will my ability to entertain Gaines Cottage to the next resident

vere exposure in the cold.

chens, but I take with me my most persistent friend.

Rush Girls Captivate Greeks
In 1954 Frat Pledge Quest

by Vivian Hays

A touch of fall weather, though summer was still warmly felt,
brought a hurricane of social events to Atlanta. Gowned in fall cos-
tumes, A.gnes Scott girls whirled and "rushed" at Tech and Emory.
Tech Sigma Chi sweetheart, Margaret Burwell, gathered some lucky
girls for a dance on the new Sigma Chi terrace Friday night and for
a picnic and square dance Saturday night. Beverly Thrash, Nancy
Holland, Ann Hisle, Deene Spivey, Harriet Talmadge, Jane Patton,
Jean Clark, and Suzy Long were among the belles so honored.

According to- Bettye Carmichael, Joanna Solomon, Mary Jane
Webster, Sara Hudson, Blythe Posey, Louise Harley, and Billie
Rainey were seen dancing madly at the SAE house dances at Tech.
The SAE's, at Emory had Sally Forrester, brand new sweetheart,
Alice Miller, Nancy Hale, and Elaine Lewis over to help them lure
the rushees.

Sarah Petty, Emory Phi Delta sponsor, was shipwrecked Friday
night along with Susan Hogg, Jean Lambert, Sarah Higgins, Carolyn
Herman, Emausse Alford, Mary Hobby Mills, Margaret Minter, and '
Louise Robinson. Freshman Nancy Niblack has already gotten pinned-
at this very affair.

Laura Dryden and Sally Wilt journeyed to the Beta House at
Emory; Nancy Wheeler and Anise Gann to the Beta House at Tech
(did you see them dressed up?); Nancy Brock to the ATO's at
Emory; Martha Riggins-ATO at Tech. Grace Molineux enjoyed a
jungle party the Chi Phi Cave Men threw, and Sis Burns along with
Harriet Griffin and her rush girls went to the Sig House at Emory.

Here's hoping hurricane Greek Alphabet leaves many lasting ef-
fects. And do make contacts, if you know what I mean, for we have
a long winter ahead.

Freshmen, Sponsors Will Meet
Alumnae at Open House Friday

Guy, '35), and other members of
the Executive board will serve as
hostesses.

The purpose of the Open House
is to enable the Alumnae to meet
new students and to welcome them
to Atlanta and Decatur.

An Open House for all new

Open-Air Sports Call Athletes
To Final Pre - Winter Activities

Bumped shins, sore muscles, and sunburned noses are again
in style as the Scottie sportsters take to the out-of-doors for
their final fling before cold weather sets in. Top attractions
for fall quarter are hockey, tennis, archery, swimming, and
golf.

Accounting for the bumped shins,
hockey takes the spotlight for
team sports. With class team prac-
tices scheduled on Monday and
Wednesday this week and next,
class competition will begin Oc-
tober 8.

A. A. hockey manager, Sheila
MacConochie has announced a
shortened schedule for this year.
Each class will play the others
once and then a championship
game will be staged between the
two top teams.

A varsity day has also been
planned to announce the selection
of the varsity and sub-varsity
teams.

Defending champions are the
juniors who will be managed by
Barbara Battle. Other class man-
agers are: seniors Mary Alice
Kemp, sophomores Helen Hen-
dry, and freshmen Judy Nash.
Court Plans

Sunburned noses are prominent
on the Scottie tennis enthusiasts
as they take advantage of the
instruction class and afternoon
free time. Not only students, but
also faculty members are taking
advantage of the A. S. C. courts.'

Th annual tennis singles tour-
nament starts this week with sop-
homore Sis Burns, defending
champion, heading the list of con-
tenders. Carolyn Herman, tennis
manager, has announced that the

Beat The Heat
Although confined indoors,
swimming still has its appeal for
Scotties who are trying to "beat
the heat." The pool is open 4-5
p. m. Monday through Friday and
2-3 p. m. on Saturdays. A swim-
ming ladder has been posted for
the first time.

fall after the unusual amount of
interest shown last spring. A S. C.
students may play at the Ameri-
can Legion course for a small fee.

Open archery is being held ev-
ery Tuesday afternoon for all po-
tential robin hoodesses. Tempor-
ary archery manager Barbara

announced that occasional grab
bags and cake shoots will be held

The Educated Woman

The influence of the educat-
ed American woman is one of
the strongest forces for good
in our national life today.

It is Christian liberal educa-
tion, not narrow, specialized
training, that has developed
her abilities and insights. As
homeniaker-citizen and as ca-
reerist-citizen, she justifies
magnificently the faith of those
who a century ago were fight-
ing for her right to learn what
she wished to learn.

Classes To Compete In Black Cat

. . . Carolyn Wells

"Most Americans have come to
realize that it is no longer pos-
sible to turn back the clock and
seek security through isolation.
We also know that we cannot af-
ford to gamble our safety and
our survival on arrangements and
programs that have no reason-
able prospect of providing gen-
uine security."

^Secretary Dulles

Last week-end a memorable
page of history was written. In a
nine-power conference, held in
London- including the leading na-
tions of England, France, and the
United States, a major agree-
ment concerning the fate, of the
German people was reached. With-
in the immediately following
months, troops will be pulled from
Germany; the occupation will be
over. Germany will begin rearm-
ament, and the training of 500,000
troops will ensue. West Germany
will rise to its feet again.

It is hoped that the Russians
will duplicate this action in the
eastern sector. At this writing, no
comment upon the decision has
been received. ^

The rearmament of Germany
will be limited, and coordinated.
Kqnrad Adenauer has given his
pledge to this. Handled wisely,
Germany will prosper, sans^ Naz-
ism, sans Communism. This will
be good. No people can exist for
any appreciable length of time
under occupied conditions, and re-
tain much zest for living.

A second and equally tre-
mendous decision was reached at
the conference. The old EDC pro-
posal, wrecked in recent months
by Mendes-France, of France,
came to life again. Most of the
EDC objectives were agreed upon.
In the event of aggression in Eu-
rope, the free nations of the
world will unite to meet the foe.
Great Britain has abandoned her
centuries-old policy of isolation-
ism from the continent, and agreed
to pool her arms to meet Com-
munist aggression. And with
Eden's agreement on the behalf
of Britain, Mendes-France also
fell into unity with the plans.

The proposal promises to be all
that the European Defense Com-
munity was meant to be unifi-
cation of free peoples against the
Communistic threat. The London
Conference has produced wisely.

>Kitty Frolics To Begin Sat. with Picnic, Skits,
Songs, Cheering, Competition For Four Classes

The frosh are really taking over in a big way to make Black Cat a success this coming
Saturday. Aside from making themselves indispensible in helping with the backdrop, cos-
tumes, and various stage committees, they have contributed Freshman Skit Chairman,
Lib Geiger, of Columbia, S. C, who will lead her class in presenting a bright array of
new talent to the ASC campus. Freshman cheerleaders, Elizabeth Ansley of Decatur and
Jourden Jones of Greenville, S. C,
will try to win the honors of the
Class of '58 during the song
competition which opens the
Black Cat performance.

Black Cat night officially opens
at 5:30 with a picnic supper on
the athletic field. The song con-
test is scheduled to begin prompt-
ly at 7 o'clock. Mrs. C. Benton
Kline, Dr. William A. Calder, and
Mr. Jay C. Fuller have consented
to act as judges.

Vee Williamson will star as
the Kitty in the general skit,
"Captivating Kitty", which will
follow the frosn and a surprise in-
terlude of faculty talent. This
year the Kitty plans marvelous
adventures in strange lands. The
senior class will introduce him to
France, the juniors to the North
Pole, and the freshmen to the
Near East.

Singing both new and old fav-
orite Black Cat songs will be a
chorus composed of four members
from each of the classes. Fresh-
men songsters are Martha Davis,
Diana Carpenter, Shirley Mac-
Donald, and Rosalind Warren.
Sophs are Keo Keller, Sheila
MacConochie, Cynthia Bailey,
and Catherine Jenkins. Juniors
are Jackie Plant, Claire Tritt,
Carolyn Moon, and Eleanor
Swain. Seniors are Andy Smith,
Georgia Syribeys, Cacky Eichel-
berger and Betty Reiney.

The entire program is planned
to be over by 8:30. In case of rain,
the supper will be served in the
dining hall. All faculty and day
students are urged to make this a
real campus-wide celebration.

Warren Receives Prize
For Watercolor Painting

Ferdinand Warren's watercol-
or "Lunar Magic", which w^s
shown in the Butler Art Insti-
tute's summer annual exhibition
was awarded a purchase prize
and is now in the permanent
collection of that art insti-
tute.

A. A. Plans Bonfire

Huge bonfire, cheers, songs, maybe a snake dance sound like a
football pep rally? Not exactly! This is A. S. C.'s own hockey rally
to set off the '54 hockey season with a bang.

Set for tomorrow night at 10 p. m., the festivities will begin with
each class marching down in a group, led by their class cheerleaders.
The fire will be set at the south end of the hockey field.

After the classes have assembled, there will be more songs and
yells with each class trying to out do the others. Then the rivals
will all join together in some A. S. C. school songs to end the
evening on a friendly note.

Sheila MacConochie, hockey manager, is in charge of the rally.
The first games will be played Friday afternoon with the freshmen
meeting the sophomores and the juniors battling the seniors.

Martha Myer, party chairman, Jo Sawyer, class colors chairman,
Becca Fewell, chairman of decorations, and Lib Geiger, Black Cat
chairman will lead the freshmen in their Black Cat activities.

2 THE AGNES SCOTT NEWS # Wednesday, October 6, 1954

Central Orbit

"Thanks" should be said to someone thanks for giving to
Agnes Scott something that was needed for a long time. As
a result of someone's interest, far-sightedness, and work
Agnes Scott now has a place of unique importance in our
campus lives the Hub. Within two years the Hub has
evolved from a dingy basement room called the "smoker" to
a mainspring around which the clockwork of campus activ-
ity revolves.

The Hub is no longer a place where only smokers congre-
gate, but it is a place of relaxation and recreation for the
whole campus community. There you will find those who go
to smoke and those who go to meet their friends. There you
will find the study sessions, the interminable bridge and
Russian bank games, and the television set. And there also
you will find the dates of those who go to participate in
these activities.

The redecorating of the inside of the building has greatly
improved its looks, and the addition of a new piano has ad-
ded to its atmosphere.

Nor is the building just a place of recreation. It is also a
place of work. The NEWS room, the SILHOUETTE room,
the kitchen, the sewing room, the prayer room, AA's lost
and found, and the CA room are there.

All in all the Hub is a place to be proud of, and we take
this opportunity now to extend our thanks to all those who
have helped to make it so. M. M.

Universal Need Unity

Student Government association has recently announced
its theme around which our activities for the year should
revolve. It seems entirely appropriate with the harmonious
principles of that organization and with the current times
that they should have chosen the phrase, "Come-Unity."

This theme presents a challenge to the entire community.
Unity is not going to just come. It must be sought and
worked for until we come to it.

If we are to come to unity one step we must take is cam-
pus-wide cooperation in all campus projects. This is not a
difficult requirement. The cooperation received in the pro-
ject of not leaving books on the steps of the dining hall has
made this clear.

Student meetings, vespers, hockey games, and Black Cat
can promote unity if there is participation on the part of
the entire community.

Finally, unity can be achieved only if each person has the
desire and feeling that she has something to contribute to
the community. We must develop and possess that intangible
sense of being a vital part of a dependent whole.

Student Government has seen our community need, as
well as the need of the nation and the world Unity. We
must continue to strive for it, for it will not come unassisted.

Student Activities Workshop
To Provide Much Needed Tools

Agnes Scott doesn't offer courses in manual training. But
for those who feel they must namely, for those who happen
to get stuck on prop, scenery, and or backdrop committees. .

well, this year a place has been provided. It's a place
where you can hammer to your heart's content without
being told to be quiet please, '

where you can spread out a back-
drop and still have room to build
planets and wild animal cages,
where you can even wear your
paint smeared blue jeans. There's
room for you to preserve
your artistic masterpieces for
posterity, or at least until next
year's Junior Jaunt. The scene of
all this activity is the new Stu-
dent Activities Workshop (the
SAW?) located down in room 11
of the basement of the science
hall.

Gone, too, are the frustrations of
searching through all Inman and
half of Rebokah for a yardstick
and a pair of scissors heavy
enough to cut cardboard. The
workshop is stocked with every-
thing from band-aids and nails
to lumber, tools and paint of
every color. The cost of all this,

incidentally, has been defrayed
by the classes of 1955, '56 and '57,
Student Government, Mortar
Board, May Day and Dance
Group. Donations, legacies, en-
downments, etc. in the way of ad-
ditional equipment will be gladly
accepted.

If you have any sort of legiti-
mate excuse Black Cat, Junior
Jaunt, Senior Opera, Junior Ban-
quet, and class and club parties
and projects all you have to do
to get the key to the workshop
cabinets is sign up on the list on
the bulletin board of the maid's
office, where the key is kept.
Don't forget though, that the first
person to leave unwashed paint
brushes behind her or to lose the
key will be expected to spend her
six month campus in solitary con-
finement in the SAW.

Writer Reviews Phone Co-op;
Reveals Secrets of 3rd Main

By Genny Lucchese

Say you have Phone Co-Op tonight? Excellent. In case this
is your first experience at it this year, perhaps it would be
wise to review here a few techniques involved in the pro-
cedure.

To take Phone Co-Op satisfactorily, preliminary prepara-
tion is imperative. You must fam-

iliarize yourself with the names
of your friends' Gentlemen Call-
ers. If more than one friend has
the same Gentleman Caller, make
a note of it. Find out which nights^
he is likely to call whom and if
your night for Co-Op falls on one
of these nights. If so, SWITCH
NIGHTS.

Another very necessary part of
the preliminary preparation is a
detailed study of the subtleties of
the male voice. Listen carefully
for slight variations in tone and
significant sighs, snarls, etc. This
will enable you to answer readily
such questions as "How did he
sound when you said I was out?";
"Did he sound like he dated that
high school child last Thursday?
and "Did he sound like he's miss-
ed me since yesterday?"

Also, for Heaven's Sake learn
to identify the TYPE from the
VOICE. If you are enterprising,
this will not be difficult. Merely
locate a friend with a faithful
string of Basic Types and use
them for practice.

Take Susy, three doors down
the hall. Jim (tall, darling look-
ing, wonderful personality) calls
Susy every other night; on the
night 'Jim doesn't call' Jack (short
ugly, funniest boy she's ever met;
keeps her in hysterics all the
time) does.

Now, Susy is expecting, any
day, a call from a new prospect. .
. Pete (medium, blond, and
enough personality to pass in a
pinch). If you have been conscien-
cious in learning the basic types,
you will be able to apply your
knowledge and identitfy Pete as
soon as he opens his mouth on the
other end of the line and Susy
will be your friend for life. She
might even get you a date with a
discarded Basic Type.

Now we come to the hard
part. . . . enticing the young men
to divulge their identities. Here
you must set your teeth, screw
your courage to the sticking place
and play their silly game right
along with them.

Theoretical Example and pos-
sible technique;
YOU: "Third Main"
YOUNG MAN: "May I speak
to Jane Smith, please?"

YOU: I'm sorry, Jane's in the
Library. She'll be back at ten".

Y. M. "Thanks. I'll call back
later" (Here you may be tempt-
ed to hang up. Don't. Think of
Jane).

You: Is there any message?"
(A message will most likely in-
clude a name or some identifying
characteristic.)

Y.M. (In the spirit of things
now, and going strong) No. . . uh
no., I'll call back later.

YOU: (Be firm and blunt) May
I take a message, please?

Y.M. "Just tell her a friend
called."

YOU: (ready to finess the whole
thing and at this point I don't
blame you) "May I have her call
you?"

Y.M. (Audibly giggling in
triumph) NO, I'LL CALL BACK
LATER."

When things get to this point,
it is advisable to tell the Y.M.
Toodle and hang up. Jane's rage
should not be considered before
the condition of your nervous sys-
tem.

Then there is the Special,
Coyprighted Agnes Scott method
for writing up messages. As .'an
illustration, I include here a bona
fide copy of chore messages list-
ed for Third Main during the past
week:

Library Acquires New Books
Representing Many Interests

On Sept. 30-Oct. 1 the Southeastern Library Association
met in Atlanta. All of the college librarians attended meet-
ings of the association. Mrs. Edna H. Byers, librarian, spoke
at the College and Reference section of the association. Fol-
lowing the meetings there was usually a period of enter-

tainment. During this time Archi
bald Rutledge spoke, and Senora
Margia Ortega presented a de-
lightful program. She sang and
accompanied herself with the gui-
tar. She will appear here at Agnes
Scott later on in the year.

Mrs. Byers announces
the addition of some
300 new books to the library.
There are representative of many
fields of interest. Prominent
among the books in the field of
religion are "Creeds in the Mak-
ing" by Richardson, "Jesus Came
Preaching" by Buttrick, and "Of
Whales and Men" by Robertson.
Those interested in art may enjoy
"Furniture for Modern Interiors"
by Dal Fabbro, and for the musi-
cally minded there are Rossini's
II Barbiere di Siviglia" and Ver-
di's "La Forza del Destino" with
the piano- vocal scores. For those
among us who are inclined toward
more literary fields there is
"Confidential Clerk" by T. S. El-
iot; there are also many books
about T. S. Eliot. On the histori-
cal shelves of the library some of
the new books* are "Ideological

Differences and World Order,"
and "The Taming of Nations" by
Northrop, and Castro's "The
Structure of Spanish History."
There are also new reference
books and book in the fields of
psychology, the theater, and lan-
guages. Among the authors of the
books mentioned Richardson, But-
trick, and Northrop have spoken
here at the college in the last few
years.

Center Gets Name
In Student Election

In the student meeting last
Thursday in chapel Agnes Scott
students voted on the "Hub" as
the name of the student activi-
ties center in Murphey Candler
building. This name and several
others were submitted by differ-
ent students, in a contest spon-
sored by Student Government for
the naming of the center.

Everyone is urged to call it by
its new name and also to enjoy
the activities of the Hub.

Curry Makes Vital Contribution
To Active Student Government

By Eleanor Swain

The other half of our most popular convict team (Connie
Curry to those outside the walls) stands out on campus
even v/ithout her stripes. Her myriad campus activities all
sparkle with the same spirit of fun and energy that has
popularized her current stage contribution.
President of the Agnes Scott

Student Government, Connie pre-
sides with fairness and dignity
over our most important campus
meetings; at times she is almost
able to forget the black 18 day
campus of her freshman year.
This friendly senior's most im-
portant qualification for her posi-
tion in the center of student life
is her manifested love of work-
ing with and for people. She
even "gets a charge out of chang-
ing little rules in the handbook."

Scott Connie has compiled an
impressive list of achievements,
not the least of which is that of
undergoing an appendectomy in
Paris, France. This unfortunate
but educational incident occurred
as Connie was representing Agnes
Scott on the Experiment in In-
ternational Living. In connec-
tion with this interest in people of
other countries are Connie's his-
tory and political science major
and her plan to go to graduate
school in international relations.

This enthusiastic dynamo has
also represented Agnes Scott in
an outstanding way as two year
chairman of the Great Southern
Region of the National Student
Association. Connie became in-
terested in this organization in
her freshman year whefi she
worked with the Atlanta Inter-
national News Center, publishing
student papers for Latin America.
(Connie, space would not permit
more than one paragraph about
NSA in this issue, Sorry.)

Always interested in student
government, Connie served as
freshman Lower House represen-
tative and Chairman of Lower
House her Junior year. She was
instrumental in the founding of
our flourishing International Re-
lations Club. Even with these
activities, plus Cotillion Club,
Glee Club, hockey, and Softball,
Connie's name has occupied a
place on the honor roll for three
years. She is a member of Mortar
Board and she received the Jen-
nie Sentelle Houghton Scholar-
ship.

Connie's contributions to our
campus are impossible to limit.
Everybody who knows her loves
her; perhaps it's because she
"loves people."

Yellow Jackets Invade Campus
As Emory Rush Season Closes

By Judy Brown

With all the fraternities at Emory temporarily shut-down to
count noses of the pledgee that joined their ranks weekend before
last, Agnes Scott girls flocked to Tech to close out Operation Fall-
Rush-Seoson-'54 for the Yellow Jackets.

The KA's were among the fraternities that squeezed in that one
last rush party Saturday night. Ava Caldwell, Ann Scoggins, Patty
Goodman, Peggy Pfeiffer, and Martha Myer aided the brothers
by doing some rushing that night.

Among the "Flappers" at the Phi Delt Dixieland Ball were Frankie
Flowers, Nancy Alexander, Judy McDaniel, and Betty Walser.

Up the street at the Sigma Nu house, Paula Ball, Liz Shoemaker,
and Nancy Williams were all dressed up for a house dance.

Memye Curtis. Carol Pine, Langor Sydnor, and Carol Magruder
were seen behind piles of paper money at the ATO's Casino party.

The Pi Kappa Phi's entertained Carolyn Langston, Betsy Villas,
and Marilyn Tribble with a house dance Saturday. Erin Young,
Nancy Love, Claire Flintom, Betty Richardson, and Gay Pound
were in slightly less formal attire at the beach party put on by the
Sigma Chi's.

The Tech campus didn't have an entire monopoly on Hottentots
this week however.

Louisa Allen and Sally Forrester followed highway 78 to Athens
to see the Bulldogs play the Texas Aggies.

Two Davidson gents were guests of Jane Moore and Sissie Mc-
Swain this week-end.

A carload of girls rode down to Thomaston to attend the wedding
of Gaye Linder, class of '56. Eleanor and Ryland Swain, Mary Nell
Mobley, Jane Stubbs, and Dbt Weakley were there along with
Dannie Reynolds who was maid of honor.

The perennial favorite the Fair attracted several ASC'ers.
"Ferris wheeling" and "cotton candying" were Catherine Jenkins,
Alice Johnston, Sara Catherine Stanley, and Jane Johnson.

Next week both Emory and Teoh will be back in swing and besides,
all loyal Scotties will be paying homage to our favorite feline the
black one.

The Educated Woman

The influence of the educat-
ed American woman is one of
the strongest forces for good
in our national life today.

It is Christian liberal educa-
tion, not narrow, specialized
training, that has developed
her abilities and insights. As
homemaker-citizen and as ca-
reerist-citizen, she justifies
magnificently the faith of those
who a century ago were fight-
ing for her right to learn what

Ready for Action

Hockey, Tennis Seasons Open;
Herman Schedules Matches

By Keo Keller

Results of extensive practice are being put to stiff tests
this week as the 1954 hockey and tennis seasons are officially
opened. In both sports, the players are also competing for
varsity positions.
King hockey's reign will officially start Thursday night

with a pep rally, with class com-
petition beginning Friday after-
noon at 4:00. Because of the short-
ened season, each team w T ill be
putting forth more effort to win
the early games.

In November, after class cham-
pions are* chosen, a Varsity day
will be held. At that time, the 22
best players, regardless of class,
will be divided into two teams for
a "battle of the best."

After the game, the official
varsity and subvarsity teams will
be announced. These players will
then be eligible to participate in
games with other schools.

Entrants in the tennis tourney
which starts this week have an
extra incentive to play their best.
Carolyn Herman, tennis manager,
has announced that a match with
Wesleyan College tennis team is
being scheduled for late fall.

Wesleyan will send a 10 mem-
ber tearn to A. S. C.'s campus
for the match. So far, only two
berths on the Scottie team have
been filled. They are singles
players Anna Avil, freshman, and *
Peggy Bridges, senior.

Other players will be chosen ac-
cording to their showing in the
tennis tournament. The tennis

match with Wesleyan will be the
first outside competition in ten-
nis for more than two years for
the Scotties.

Holland is a little country in
northwest Europe. It is one of the
many continental countries and
there are quite a few, often for-
gotten in this country of ours
where emphasis regretably tends
to lie upon the troubles of the old
world it is one of those countries
walked by people of peace.

While its neighbors fussed and
fretted for other people's green
pastures, the Dutch made their
own. Rather than growl, and snap
forever over land already popu-
lated, the industrious folk of the
Netherlands, turned to the sea,
patiently driving back the waters,
filling in with dirt, making them-
selves a land of their very own.

Today, while other nations still
cast covetous glances upon neigh-
boring territories, Holland, too,
wants to spread. Their popula-
tion is ever increasing, as popula-
tions do. In order to relieve crowd-
ing ,the Dutch have already begun
anew the slow laborious process
of land building. As a result of
their efforts, the Zuyder Zee is
already no longer a sea, in the
true sense of the word. Now, in-
stead, it is a lake, being surround-
ed by land manufactured land,
as it were. When fishing is nil,
when the season is bad, the fish-
ermen load their boats with land,
and dump their cargo into the
waters of the old Zuyder Zee.
Someday, though not in this gen-
eration of ours, this immense
mass of water will not be, even
as once Holland was not. Land
building is dreadfully slow pro-

And so the happy, freedom-
adoring, patriotic Dutch live their
days. Devoted to their queen,
proud of their fishing, their peo-
ple, their cooking, their cows, they
spend their time as contented as
any folk on earth. Tremendously
loyal to all that is dutch, they are
nevertheless warmhearted to-
ward travellers. If all local hotels
are full, those from far away are
never turned back, but friendly
homes welcome visitors and treat
them as one of the family lan-
guage is no barrier.

In spite of the peace of the peo-
ple, not long ago the man-made
lands of the Netherlands were
covered with the invading armies
of Germany. Their buildings were
torn, their people terrorized. The
seaports of the Dutch were very
important to the Fuhrer's cause.
Today the surface of Holland is
once again smooth, her buildings
reconstructed, her dykes strong,
her canals intact. Who knows
what lies in the hearts of the peo-
ple? Outwardly they are friendly,
happy, content, once more.

The example of the Netherlands
should be well before the eyes of
the world. Their lesson of indus-
try, wisdom, loyalty it tremendous.

Draper Will Initiate Lectures
With Program of Monologues

Opening the 1954-1955 Lecture association series on Nov-
ember 1 will be Miss Ruth Draper whose character sketches
have enchanted the world for over three decades. Miss
Draper, a native of New York, was initially inspired to be-
come a professional entertainer by Padereski who had heard
her first monologue. Her first
professional appearances were at
schools, colleges, and clubs. In
1918 she spent seven months giv-
ing performances at A.E.F. camps
in France. Since that time she
has appeared in Burma, Australia,
South America, Canada, the Unit-
ed States, and on the Continent.
Testimony to her dynamic hold
on her audiences is her annual
from four to twelve week season
in London.

All of her sketches are her
own creations. Some she has tak-
en from her own experiences, but
the majority are drawn from her
understanding and love of people.

The New York drama critics are
unanimously delighted by her
work. Brooks Atkinson of the
"New York Times" has captured
the spirit of her performances
when he says: "Obviously Miss
Draper is a woman warmly inter-
ested in other people. Apart from
her wit, she has a compassionate
knowledge of human character.
As an abstract chronicler of wom-
en of all stations of life, she is ah
artist of considerable eminence.
And not because she is mistress
of the odd magic that goes into
the monologue . . . her quality
comes from within."

After leaving Agnes Scott, Miss
Draper will be a guest at a din-
ner given by the English' Speak-
ing Union in New York City in
honor of the Queen Mother of
England. She will be present at
the former queen's request.

Tickets for Miss Draper's per-
formance will be available to the
students, faculty, and staff Octob-
er 19-21 in the lobby of Buttrick
Hall. Each person is entitled to
one free ticket and at that time
may purchase one extra ticket.
On October 22 the tickets will
go on public sale. They may be
obtained from Lib Grafton, trea-
surer of the Lecture Association.

Noted Artist Plays
Variety of Pieces

Tuesday night, Oct. 12 in Pres-
ser Hall, Henry L. Scott, piano-

gram of music interspersed with
fun and games. He has played in
almost every large concert hall in
the country and has also made
eight trans-continental tours. His
program was a mixture of the
comic and the serious.

Miss Ruth Draper, world-re-
nowned performer, will appear
at Agnes Scott Nov. 1 under
the auspices of lecture associa-
tion.

The Honor System "is not some little game that we are
playing on this campus." * Neither is it one of the extra-
curricular activities in which we engage. Perhaps too often
we think of it as a mechanical system superimposed upon
the natural structure of life. On the other hand we may view
it as an ideal which has no relevance to the practicalities
of life.

However, honor is neither a system imposed from without
nor an ideal far removed from us. Honor, intangible though
it may be, is real, and exists only within individuals who
possess it. It is not unique to Agnes Scott, but is the essen-
tial basis for all worthwhile personal relationships in bus-
iness, in dating, in friendships, in the home. The honor which
is a part of our way of life at Agnes Scott does not end with
graduation. The way to a life of the greatest significance
and satisfaction is always the way of the. highest personal
honor.

In this week of honor emphasis, let each of us ask ourself :
"Is honor a very real part of my dealings with people, not
only at Agnes Scott, but wherever I am? Is my honor help-
ing to keep high the standard of honor for Agnes Scott?
Will it continue to be a strong part of me long after gradua-
tion?"

* Perspective upon the Honor System, Dr. Alston.

We Did It!

Two days before the big night the dining hall echoed with
spirited songs, started by the energetic freshmen whose
catchy songs the upper classmen envied. Class ties were for-
gotten as aspiring stage stars struggled with lines and ac-
tion. Black shorts and harem girl costumes were gladly lent
by new students, old students, big girls, little girls. Strains
of new songs escaped under the doors of basement rooms
as classes combined their musical and writing talents.

That night faculty and students sang and ate fried chicken
on the darkening hockey field. Uniformly clad singers
marched in with shining faces and sister classes cheered each
other. Everybody laughed together at familiar and loved
broccoli jokes and watched the unfolding of new freshman
and faculty talent. The seniors won the song contest; the
many people who had felt nostalgic goosebumps at its sing-
ing were glad, and felt sad that the seniors would not be
back next year.

Afterwards there was a warm, close feeling of kinship
that is still glowing several days later. The slightly cool
sense of strangeness that had grown over old friendships
during the summer is gone. OUR Black Cat is back. WE
produced a hit. ES

The Life You Save

All or. campus should never forget the disaster which fire
can cause. One of the main dangers on our campus is the
overloading of electrical circuits. Be especially careful of
this. One circuit will not bear a radio, a phonograph, two
lights, a heating pad, and a hair dryer. Discretion is the
better part of valor, according to Falstaff, and in this in-
stance, it could be essential to life.

This year with the new smoking regulations there is more
chance than ever of fire. Fire is a wonderful thing when
under control, but a dangerous and frightening monster
when raging fiercely, consuming buildings, forests, all in its
path. CW

Seed Catalogue

CA President Reveals Story
Of College Accomplishments

Eleanor Swain

"My folks didn't really name me out of a seed catalogue,"
laughingly explains Georgia Belle Christopher. This combi-
nation of good southern words which is the President of our
Christian Association's Sunday name is very effective when
spoken in slow rolling syllables. Actually, though, her work-
a-day' epithet, 4, G. B." is more fit-
tingly tailored to this Griffin,
Georgia senior's week-day per-
sonality. Her serene efficiency
and her warm sympathy for ev-
eryone's problems have inspired
the easy familiarity of G. B.'s
nickname.

The presidency of C. A. is right
in line with Georgia Belle's most
important interests and plans for
the future. She has been in train-
ing for the job for quite a while,
as a member of both the CA. and
Interfaith Councils. Her training
even extended into the summer.
This summer Georgia Belle at-
tended a Y leadership training
school in Berkeley, Calif, where
she lived in sight of the Golden
Gate Bridge and Alcatraz.

Another part of this training
seems to have impressed G. B.
deeply. It was shared with those
of us who read a character sketch
entitled "Zulma" in last winter's
issue of the Aurora. The new
4 teadh* was "fresh and young
and strode briskly by as if both
tantalized and frightened by the
dark doorways she passed," and
was ultimately drenched by a
stream of hydrant water directed
at her by jeering slum boys.
"Teach" must be Georgia Belle
as she went about her work at
Union Settlement, a Y project in
New York ,in the summer of 53.

Freshmen Give Varied Opinions
Of Current Ail-Night Light Rule

Agnes Scott freshmen give their opinions of the new-
campus -wide light priviledge, its advantages, disadvantages,
and its effects. Here are the opinions expressed by some
freshmen:

Carlanna Lindamood: I think the priviledge is a fine thing.
I'll get my sleep and the lights

aren't going to affect me.

Lavonne Nalley: I think we
should have a definite time to get
our lights out.

Pat Stewart: I'm all for the all
night lights. It's grand. I wish
they would hold classes at night
and I could sleep all day. If they
had a curfew time people would
stay up till then just to say they
stayed up.

Betsy Villas: I think the priv-
iledge is wonderful. If we're in
college we're mature enough to
know when to use them.

Nora King: I think we should
have a set time to have our lights
out during our freshman year so
that we can develop good study
habits.

Jo Sawyer: I think it's o. k.
if you have enough sense to know
how to use the priviledge.

Frances Shepherd: I like it. It's
good because you have time to
get everything done.

Judy Nash: I don't think we
should have the priviledge. We
should learn to get the work done
by a certain time.

Ivy Furr: The priviledge en-

Scott's Christian Association

tions are "cutting hair like a
fiend" and making mobiles, G.
B. plans to go into student Y
work after graduation if she does
not spend a year in graduate
school.

Georgia Beile has also been ac-
tive as President of '55 Club, a
member of Folio, BOZ, and Black-
friars. She was on the honor roll
for two years and is now a mem-
ber of Mortar Board.

The freshmen who live on 1st
Inman are now benefiting from
G. B.'s warmhearted sympathy.
But it is my guess that in years
to come the freshman will only be
the first of many.

AA Plans Frosh Entertainment -
Including Dinner, Street Dance

It's new, it's different, it's fun!!! It's the A. A. street dance

noon that we couldn't do unless
we knew we could do our study-
ing at night. Also, if we know
we have plenty of time to study,
we don't panic for tests.

Kay White: I'm glad we have
it. If we don't use them wisely
we will just have to learn the
hard way.

DVew Blankner: I like it be-
cause you can study longer.

Carol Riley: I'm glad we have
the priviledge. It's nice to know
you can stay up if you have to.

Barbara Thompson: I'm for it
even though I rarely stay up #

Carolyn Tinkler: I wouldn't put
things off if I had a certain time
that I knew the lights had to
be out. I think lights should be
out at a specific time.

Anne Akerman: I like the priv-
iledge, but I see its disadvantages.

Carol McDonald: I'm for it and
f don't think it's being used un-
wisely.

Marty Gaines: I think it's good
we have the priviledge. We are
old enough to know that if we
need sleep we should go to bed.

Frances Gwinn: I'm not getting
enough sleep. I think it would
be better for all concerned if we
had a time limit.

Mary Jo Cowart: I think it's
a wonderful idea. If you go out

day classes you can stay up Fri-
day night and get your work up

day afternoon.

Hefner Discovers Enchantment of Big City Life
As Art Editor of Mademoiselle's College Issue

By Katherine Hefner, Alumna

Now that I'm far away from the enchantment of "The Teahouse of the August Moon"
the UN Secretariat (matchbox) Building and caviar, I find myself in rare moments of
idleness comfortably recalling the kaleidoscopic magic of Broadway on a wet night.
There's something about the man blowing smoke rings from the Camel Cigarette sign that
makes me feel very much at home. One only has to mention Brooklyn Heights and the
Eighth Avenue subway and I get

down right nostalgic. I developed
a taste (it wasn't hard) for the
Village, music from Birdland and
cheesecake. And now I have a
weakness for baseball. (I dare
anyone to make a crack about the
Brooklyn Dodgers.) I still marvel
that one can get on a subway at
fifty-third street and be at the
Cloisters on one - hundred and
ninety-fifth street within less than
30 minutes. Tired feet leave me
with the familiar feeling that I'm
once again walking into agents'
offices and the publishing world,
wearing my Bonwit Teller beret
and carrying my large black port-
folio. I came to New York all be-
cause Street and Smith Publica-
tions, Incorporated publish a mag-
azine called MADEMOISELLE
that believes in cracking the locks
of doors that lead maybe, and
eventually to success for those
young women who are potential
and interested.

The real excitement began the
night I received a telegram say-
ing that I had been selected as
one of the lucky twenty to be a

LE. Finishing my last exam in
Miss Preston's Victorian Poets on
Monday at five o'clock, I boarded
an Eastern Airliner and landed at
,La Guardia Field at seven-thirty
the next morning. I took the lim-
ousine to the Terminal, then a
taxi to the Barbizon Hotel for
Women; I had a quick breakfast
and I walked into 575 Madison
Avenue, the offices of Mile by

nine o'clock on the nose.

We brand new guest editors sat
around the conference room table
and met all the editors of MADE-
MOISELLE; there was a personal
word for us from Mary Beth Lit-
tle, then the College Editor of
MLLE., and an Agnes Scott Alum.*
(Mary Beth is now writing for the
Sunday Magazine section of the
New York Times.) Our greeting
was climaxed by the words of the
Editor-in-Chief of MLLE., Mrs.

B. T. Blackwell. (She was wear-
ing her Sally Victor hat, a mink
stole and two gardinias.) In a
deep authoratative voice she said,
"Good morning, and welcome to
you all." I believe her next words
were: "Remember girls, Health
before Genius, ALWAYS."

In those first days of chaotic
bliss we were rushed to recorded
discussions and interviews with
people like Truman Capote
(playwriter of THE GRASS
HARP) and Phyllis McGinely,
poet, and at the same time we
were meeting deadlines for the
August issue. Breakfast consist-
ing of coffee and three orders of
toast was usually behind a type-
writer at MLLE offices. At the
Art Director's Luncheon in the
Waldorf Astoria ballroom we
were eating with the editors of

There's Life in the Old Girls Yet

Seniors Dominate Black Cat;
Capture Pins, Rings, Prizes

Vivian Hays

Needless to say there was much activity and excitement on cam-
pus Saturday night as the Agnes Scott kitties took over and gave
the boys a rest. Congratulations to the Seniors for the best song.

Besides our own Black Cat there were also many off-campus ac-
tivities. Poor L.S.U. had nothing to compare with Tech's cheering
section Saturday with these Scotties there: Paula Ball, Karen Beall,
Kit Crosby, Nellie Strickland, Jean Clark, Ryland Swain, and Pat
Gover. The Betas had a party after the game, Ivy Furr and May
Muse attending.

Over at Emory Lib Geiger went to a Zip party and Carol Pine and
Sara Townsend dated Phi Chi's for one of those crazy med. parties.
The KA's and Phi Delts at Em^ry had a joint house dance and in-
vited Frances Patterson, Jackie Johnson, Drew Blankner, Frazer
Steele, Mary Evans, and Angeline Pope over.

Molly Pritchard and Anne Corse went to a square dance
Saturday at the Delta Shelter over on Frat Row. The SAE's had a
big blast at the Legion Home and those who enjoyed the party were;
Helene Lee, Gracie Greer, Nancy Clark, and Sally Forrester. Anne
Lowry and Lib Flynn also had a big time Saturday night they
helped the Pikes have a house dance (everyone is having house
dances-)

Charleston was honored this week-end with the presence of Jo Ann
McCarthy and Genny Lucchese; Joan Pruitt went to Pensacola to see
one ^f those cute Navy airmen; Libby Wilson's Charlie was here
(what a glorious time); Evelyn Stegar went to meet "his" parents;
Carolyn Alford got pinned a-la Sigma Chi by a Theolog at Emory;
Erin Young has a Sig pin; and Dee Vann Mitchell was visiting us
this week-end all the way from Michigan. Other momentous events
"were Lib Grafton's "ringing", and Susan Foxworth's "pinning" by a
Tech KA.

And so I leave you full of that old class spirit and anticipating
another big week-end that will make this week's classes bearable.
Bye now.

The Old and the New

Seniors, Frosh Score Upsets
In Season's First Hockey Tilts

Keo Keller

Youth and age found something in common a hockey
prowess as the freshmen and seniors both scored surprising
1-0 victories over the sophomores and juniors to open the
1954 hockey season last Friday.

Taking advantage of the cool weather, all teams displayed
unusually good team work. A [
comparatively small number of
accidents added to the quality of
the play.

In the first game, the senior
forward line, led by Molly Prich-
ard and Carolyn Wells, showed
exceptional teamwork. Carolyn
scored the only goal of the game
during the first half.

Georgia Syribeys, playing for
the first time, and Julia Beeman
led the senior backfield. They
were especially effective the first
half in stealing the ball near mid-
field before their opponents could
reach the striking circle.

The juniors, last year's champs,
never gave up and gave the sen-
iors many uneasy moments, espec-
ially during the second half. Bar-
bara Battle, and Ann Wielborn
were especially effective in keep-
ing the senior forward line off-
balance during the last half.

A thrilling, last minute goal
gave the freshmen their 1-0 vic-
tory over the sophs. Taking ad-
vantage of one of the few times
they reached the sophomore strik-
ing circle, the frosh pushed over
the goal in the last few seconds

of the game.

The first-time freshman players,
led by Joan St. Clair, showed
unusual poise and skill. Judy
N a s h, in the backfield, led
the freshman defensive unit which
formed an impregnable wall when
the sophs reached the striking
circle.

Leading the sophomore back-
field were Mary Evans Bristow
and Frazer Steele who were es-
pecially effective in stopping the
frosh drives at midfield. Bettye
Carmichael, center forward, led
the soph offense.

Adding to the spirit of the open-
ing day festivities, a loudspeaker,
installed by A. A., played music
and announced scores for the spec-
tators. Candied apples were also
sold by the board members.

Just in time for cooler weather,
Athletic Association is announc-
ing its annual fall sweatshirt sale.
Sports enthusiasts are finding the
sweatshirts especially comfortable
for fall activities, including horse-
back riding and archery.

The sweatshirts, priced at $2.50
for gray, $3.00 for white and $3.50
for cardigan, are being sold in the
Lost and Found room in the Hub,
1-^ p. m. on Monday, Wednesday,
and Friday each week. If you can-
not find your size, A. A. will order
it for you.

A Saddle Club has been formed
this fall for the benefit of all
Scottie riding enthusiasts. The
sixteen members make use of the
stable at North Fulton Park ev-
ery Saturday afternoon.

The stables belong to Mrs. -Sum-
mer Williams who also provides
instruction for those wanting it.

Behind The Scenes

We are the three-ring circus with our clowns, acrobats,
specialists. And they are the workers who manipulate the
props, handle the settings of the stage, and keep the show
rolling. Have you ever stopped to think of the tremendous
organization which goes into the "behind-the-scenes" work
of the school?

The dormitoriy maids, the janitors, those who work in the
kitchen, and those who work on the grounds all deserve
praise for the service they are doing for the campus.

They should be praised for the efficiency, the faithfulness,
and the love which goes into their work. Quite a number
have worked here on the campus for almost a quarter of a
century, and a few outstanding workers are approaching the
half century mark. Many of the maids stop work, have their
families, and almost invariably return to the campus in later
years.

Next time you walk outside just look around you, and
think of the enormous amount of work and time which has
gone into making our campus the beautiful one that it is.
And don't forget the gym, the library, the Hub, the dormitory
maids, and the kitchen workers. A very important part in
keeping the big show in working order is done by the behind
the scenes workers in the kitchen. They all deserve a vote
of thanks from us for the vital part they are playing in our
campus lives. M.M.

Later Than You Think

The time is approaching. Each year there comes a time
when we must be tapped lightly on the shoulder and remind-
ed of our chapel conduct. At this point, this moment seems
to be approaching rather fast. Let us decrease and even stop
our pace, so that our yearly reminder will not be necessary.

Discussion of the History 215 test, the reading of a letter
from Bill, and the laughter about last night's date should
and can be postponed until after chapel. Let us remember
the saying, "silence is consent," consent for the organ pre-
lude, the person next to you who is trying to meditate, and
the sperker on the platform.

Also, let us not forget the front seats of the chapel. You
can benefit as much, if not more, from the program when
you are nearer the front. Do not be reluctant about going past
row "V". Remember "front-seaters'' count toward class spirit!

May we take heed of these few suggestions so that we will
retreat from the annual time when attention is called to our
chapel manners? D. W.

ASC Personalities
Praise Monologist

According to three familiar per-
sonalities on the A. S. campus,
the coming of Ruth Draper on
Nov. 1 will be an outstanding
event of the school year. Miss
Scandrett, who last year saw Miss
Draper on Broadway when she
played' at capacity crowds, de-
scribes the monologist as "charm-
ing and delightful."

Mrs. Edward Webb, new cata-
logue librarian, says, "I remem-
ber Miss Draper's evening at Van-
derbilt as one of those unusually
relaxing performer-audience ex-
periences. Her ability to capture
certain moods and manners of
everyday living, to take familiar
incidents and people and make
them come to life was remark-
able and fascinating."

Anticipating the performance,
Miss Roberta W T inter remarks:
"Seeing Ruth Draper is going to
be having a whole evening of great
moments like those we sometimes
experience in the movies or the
theatre."

In view of the above comments,
it would seem that the campus is
privileged to have the opportun-
ity of hearing this internationally
recognized artist.

. v^^SBEy^ for handy refer-
ence to enable you to diagnose
your own case. The trouble could
stem from the fact that you are
freezing to death. Mayhap you
lost your head during our heat
wave B. H. (before Hazel) and
sent all your winter things home.

Or you could be a hockey play-
er who doesn't like music, a Bi-
ology 207 student who loathes
Protozoa, a social misfit who likes
to play out Coca-Cola hands or
worse yet, a Senior Without A
Man (there's nothing worse in the
universe, but we are fighting dil-
igently anyway).

However, the most probable
reason for your strange condi-
tion is the fact that you have
nothing to wear. Your roommate
borrowed your black cashmere
and spilled mustard on it. There
was . a sad accident in chemistry
101 lab involving a strange gela-
tinous substance and your green
gabardine skirt. One of those new
ice-cream concoctions that have
made the snack-bar in the Hub,

Senior Dry Cleaning Service, ably
headed by Miss Connie Ballas

it to your clothes. The Dry Clean-

Main (where the curtain rods
were, remember?) will be open
Monday, Wednesday ,and Friday
from 6:30 to 7:30.

Clothes brought in on Monday
will be back on Friday. If you
bring them in on Wednesday,
they will be back the next Mon-
day. Just skip a time; very simple
formula. .

There are special, rates being
offered as an added inducement
and the faculty are cordially in-
vited to take advantage of this
wonderful opportunity, too.

Miss Rogers adds a word of cau-
tion. She says Please, Ma'm, come
call for your cleaning. Don't let
it hang lonely forgotten, and for-
lorn until it gets dirty again.

There seems to have been a bit
of confusion concerning the exact
nature of the duties of Miss Ballas
and Miss Rogers. Miss Ballas adds
a word of clarification. "We do
NOT wash socks!"

So let us rouse ourselves from
this lethargy, Girls. We shall gath-
er our dirty clothes and send them
off to Margurite Smith's Radiant

ever.

O, give a cheer for nice clean
skirts,

And sweaters without stains.

House Presidents to Discuss
Fire Regulations, Procedures

Fire regulations and procedures
will be discussed Wednesday, Oct.
20, when house presidents, sen-
ior residents, and Lower House
members meet. In addition to the
discussion, Mr. A. B. Moon, fire
chief of Decatur will show a mo-
vie on fire prevention.

This meeting is to aid each dor-
mitory and cottage with its indi-
vidual planning for fire drills.
Since fire drills last year were

not as successful as they should
have been, and since living con-
ditions are so different in each
dormitory, the house president,
senior residents, and lower house
members of each dormitory will
formulate the regulations for
their own dormitory. It is hoped
that by doing this, our dormitory
and cottage fire drills will be more
effective.

KnightTells Life Secrets, Plans,
Awkward Moment as Freshman

By Eleanor Swain
Once upon a time there was a freshman, who when climb-
ing the front steps of Main to meet her junior sponsor, fell
all over the hard stone right at the feet of the surprised up-
perclassman. The trouble causing hole in the steps is still here
and so is Mary Evelyn Knight the awkward freshman. This
senior from Houston, Texas is an

other one of our fortunate few
who has won a nickname. It would
be unthinkable to call the easy-
going, friendly President of our
Athletic Association 'Mary Eve-
lyn" when the words "Hey M. E."

Mary Evelyn Knight, president
of the Agnes Scott Athletic
Association, is one of the out-
standing leaders on campus.

bring such a nice, mischievous
grin to her face.

Most of M. E.'s four years have
been spent in the # gym. For she
is the enthusiastic promoter of
everything athletic at Agnes
Scott. She began her freshman
year as class basketball manager,
and went on to be basketball
manager of the A. A. Board as a
sophomore. M.E. 's junior year
brought the duties of secretary of
A.A. Each year's routine has al-
so included Dolphin Club, basket-
ball and hockey, though M. E.
says "most of my hockey ability
has been connected with those
candied apples." Our A. A. head's
personality has not, however,
grown in only one direction
(Psych 201, Stukes). She has also
donated her services to the

ness staff, C. A. Council, and Glee
Club. She is an English major.

"My 3rd love, besides English
and athletics, is music from
Bach to .Louis Armstrong," says
M. E., whose secret ambition is to
play a bass fiddle in a New Or-
leans jazz band. A fourth love,
normal for a Presbyterian minis-
ter's daughter, is Montreat, N. C.
where M. E. has spent the last
three years as a recreational di-
rector in the Young People's
clubs.

M. E.'s rather misty dreams of
the future seem to indicate that
she may spend a year working in
Paris, but whatever she does we
know that clouds of spiritless
gloom will never linger in her vi-
cinity. For whether selling caidied
apples to pep up a hockey game,
cheering up the lunch line with a
witty remark from the hostess'
desk, or entertaining with her
famous imitations of faculty
and students, M. E. is always fun
to be with.

A. A. Honors
New Students
With Supper

Cornstalks and figures of far-
mers decorated the A.S.C. gym
last Saturday night as Agnes
Scott A. A. Board held its annual
party for freshmen and their
dates. About 220 guests attended
the affair which was moved into
the gym after cold weather can-
celled street dance plans.

A picnic-style dinner of baked
ham, potato salad, pickled peach,
coffee and ice cream was served
to the guests in the private din-
ing hall by A. A. board members
at 6:30 p. m. The frosh and their
dates then moved to the gym for
an evening of square and round
dancing from 8:00 to 11:30.

Calling the folk and square
dancing were Fred and Mary Col-
lette from Emory University.
Teaching both the conventional
square dances and interspersing
some circle dances, the Collettes
kept the evening moving at a
lively pace.

An intermission of round danc-
ing was held during the evening.
Refreshments of apple cider and
doughnuts were also served at
this time. More round dancing
took place at the end of the square
dancing until the party ended at
11:30 p. m.

Chaperones for the party were
Mrs. Lapp! Miss Boyce and Miss
Ashley, all of the physical educa-
tion department. Dr. and Mrs. Al-
ston also attended the festivities.

Melodious Weekend Features
Finnegan Concert, 'Tiger Rag"

By Judy Brown

Quite a musical week we've had music played by Sauter
Finnegan started off the ASC week. Ann Bullard, Mary Mc-
Lananan, Anne Lowrie Alexander, and Sarah Davis stepped out to the
conco-t Thursday night.

Besides concert music there were sounds of "Tiger Rag" and
"W-A-R E-A-G-L-E" as Auburn invaded Atlanta Saturday. Nancy
Burkitt, Joy Nash, Jane Frist, Nancy Edwards, Joan Smith T and
scadoodles of others too numerous to name were over at Grant Field
watching the Jackets "hold that tiger." After the game everybody
and everybody's friend went out to Robinson's for the big Auburn
party. Ann Alvis, Jane Gaines, Susie Ware, Helene Lee, Georgia
Rice, and* Sally White were just a fraction of the many people there.

Speaking of music, there was a combo over at the Tech Kappa Sig
house. Sally Wilt, Carolyn Wells, and Louise Rigdon were over there
dancing, while the Phi Delts at Tech invited Al Coldwell, Bunny Hall,
Jackie Murray, and Mickey Scott to do some dancing too.

At Emory the Chi Phi pledges gave a party for Caroline Romberg,
Susanna Byrd, Jane Stubbs, Grace Molineux and the brothers.

The song "Happy Wanderer" was appropriate for Barbara Huey,
Louisa Allen, and Anne Welborn who drove up to Camp Rockbrook
in Brevard, North Carolina for a counselor's reunion. Mary Dickin-
son, Tunsi Kwilecki, and Mary Evans Bristow spent the week-end

And Barbara Battle was seen enjoying the music at one of Atlanta's

in o!e Athens town. Alice Johnston, Betty Ann Jacks, and Cathy
Jenkins went to Smyrna for the Dec Pres retreat.

Just a "note": Hope there wasn't anyone singing "I'm a Lonesome
Polecat" this busy and "melodious" week.

The influence of the educat-

the strongest forces for good
in our national life today.

It is Christian liberal educa-

training, that has developed
her abilities and insights. As
homemaker-citizen and as ca-

magnificently the faith of those
who a century ago were fight-

Hockey Heroes

Schaufele, Prichard Lead Seniors To Victory;
Thomas Scores Three As Juniors Post 4-0 Win

By Keo Keller

Proving the old adage that experience always pays off, the
senior class took undisputed possession of first place in tTie
hockey standings by defeating the sophomores 2-0 for their
second straight victory last Friday. Meanwhile, the juniors
were knocking the freshmen from the ranks of the unbeaten
with a 4-0 victory.

The stiffness of the senior de-
fense proved to be too much for
the sophomores as they suffered
their second setback. Led by new-
comer B. J. Schaufele and vet-
eran Julia Beeman, the backfield
proved especially effective when
its opponents neared the goal.

Molly Prichard led the senior
forward line and scored the final
goal of the game in the second
half. Ann Allred and Peggy
Bridges collaborated in pushing
over the first goal only a minute
after the opening whistle.'

Turning in outstanding perform-
ances for the sophomore back-
field were Frazer Steele and Mar-
tha Akin. Bettye Carmichael and
Helen Hendry led the soph for-
wards who played consistently
well until they reached the strik-
ing circle.

In the highest scoring game of

Sims To Deliver Investiture Talk

Sftea6iny> . < <

. . . Carolyn Wells

The country of Mexico has
much in common with our coun-
try. For although the people
there speak the Spanish tongue,
and like their cuisine a bit on the
fiery side ,they are, as we, basi-
cally human, concerned about
human problems, feeling human
emotions.

During the past week we on
campus have had the privilege to
enjoy and become acquainted with
one of Mexico's most delightful
personalities, Senora Maria de
Leon Ortega.

Senora Ortega, a teacher at
the Universidad Nacional Auton-
oma and the Mexico City College,
is prominent in cultural organi-
zations in Mexico and is well
known there for her performances
of Mexican and Latin-American
music. A distinguished folklorist,
she has made several trips to the
United States singing and playing
under the auspices of organiza-
tions such as the Council of Am-
erican Music Teachers, the Good
Neighbor Commission of Texas,
and several universities. Her
present visit has been arranged
by the Southern Library Associa-
tion in connection with its con-
vention in Atlanta.

Senora Ortega has the charm-
ing personality and friendly man-
ner which makes friends for her
wherever she may go. Besides
being an extremely talented art-
ist, she is a favorite because of
her spontaneous smile and sincere
interest in all about her and in
her work.

She played recently for the
Ohio State University on Colum-
bus Day, and on October the 17th
she charmed a gathering at the
Hall of the Americas, Pan Ameri-
can Union. Manuel Tello, Am-
bassador of Mexico, wrote her in
connection with this performance
presenting his sincere congratu-
lations for her "complete success' 1 ,
and speaking of the "warm praise
of all the guests." Her program,
which included songs of the tropi-
cal southland, the highlands, and
the sister Republics of Mexico
(Cuba, Chile, Ecuador, etc), cer-
tainly won this distinguished audi-
ence.

And so it is that this charming
mexican senora with the captivat-
ing smile and voice, wins the
hearts of all who hear her. Be-
hind her vibrant voice and beau-
tiful guitar lies a heart full of
longing longing for peace and
good will among neighboring coun-
tries. For years the policy of
friendliness and neighborliness
among the Americas has lasted
for the most part. Senora Ortega's
unselfish efforts in giving of her
personal time and talents are
just another example of one of
the many reasons why this is so.
One cannot really like a country
unless one likes the people. And
this is impossible without know-

the lower dining hall.

Draper Delights
Capacity Crowd

Last Monday evening, November 1, Ruth Draper, world-
famous monologue artist, presented a delightful program to
a full house at Agnes Scott Presser hall.

Brought to the campus as Lecture association's fall attrac-
tion, Miss Draper was presented by Caroline Cutts, chairman
of the association.

Seniors To Fling Diligently;
Childhoods Draw To Close

Ann Allred

Flash! Mob of uncontrollable children headed for the Agnes
Scott campus. Be on the look out. They are reported as armed
with water pistols and may be dangerous. . .

Yes. Beware underclassmen, for Friday marks that
period of time-turned-back when the seniors have their last
childish filing before assuming the
dignity and full responsibility of
their position. One of ASC's old-
est traditions, Little Girls' Day
was begun in November, 1907 by
the Class of 1908, and has been
abandoned only once since, in
1945.

An important writing commit-
tee, headed by Pat Hale, is now
at work on the chapel program
which is to be the climax of a day
beginning with reveille at an un-
revealed hour and havoc in Leiti-
tia Pate at 7:30. Theme of the
skit is "Story Hour with the Sen-
iors in Which Mother Goose Gets
Loused Up." Members of the writ-
ing committee are Julia Reeman,
Donna McGinty, Vivian Hayes,
and JoAnn Hall.

During her first monologue,
Miss Draper, as a mother, spoke
to one of her children concerning
their presence at a party: "I know
it, darling, but you're here and
we must make the best of it."
The capacity audience, which
gathered from the campus and
from the neighboring vicinity,
had no trouble in making the best
of their evening their hearty
applause registered beyond any
doubt their approval of Miss
Draper and her performance.

The actress began her evening's'
entertainment with a humorous
piece "A Children's Party in
Philadelphia." This monologue was
followed by a more serious des-
cription of an English wife whose
husband, captured at Dunkirk, is
returning from the war. The story,
"The Return," was based upon
a true incident.

Turning to the serious for her
next selection, Miss Draper,
though speaking in the French
tongue, foreign to many in the
audience, captured flawlessly the
pathos and emotions of a young
French wife bidding farewell to
her war-bound husband. Draped
in black, her delivery of the scene
was enchanting.

After intermission Miss Draper
continued to switch personalities.
A tall, solemn, grey haired lady
sauntered through an art mu-

ing them. If Senora Maria de Leon
Ortega is an example of the
people of Mexico, they are cer-
tainly very delightful people in-
deed. And the land of bright
colors and song must be a fasci-
nating place in which to live.

seum, commenting upon the ex-
hibition in grand style. "At An Art
Museum In Boston" was perhaps
the favorite of the evening.

"A Debutante at A Dance," a
light and very realistic portrayal;
and "A Scottish Immigrant at
Ellis Island," in which the ac-
tress fluently spoke in still an-
other tongue, concluded the even-
ing.

If Lecture Association brings to
the campus winter and spring
quarters lecturers to equal Ruth
Draper, the 1954-55 series will be
the best by far that Agnes Scott
has enjoyed in a long time.

Art Section To Show
Business Exhibition

The Art Department announces
a loan exhibition of paintings,
"Cross Currents in American Art"
from the permanent collection of
the Fine Arts Department of the
International Business Machines
Corporation. The Exhibition con-
sists of work by twenty outstand-
ing American contemporary art-
ists, including excellent examples
of figure painting by Robert Henri
Eugene Speicher, and Channing
Hare. Others represented in this
fine collection are Andrew Wyeth,
Robert Philipp, John Stewart
Curry, and John Marin. Subjects
include portraits, still life, and
genre.

The exhibition will be on view
in Buttrick Hall Studio Gallery
of Art Department, from Novem-
ber 22 to December 11 and will
be open to the public from 2 until
5 daily except Sundays.

In complete contrast to the
Friday frolics, then, is the pro-
gram which takes place in noon
chapel on Saturday. Agnes Scott
Investiture is secbnd in soleminty
only to the June graduation ser-
vice. Although many colleges and
universities have investiture pro-
grams, the ritual followed at ASC
is a unique one. To be capped by
Dean of Students, Miss Carrie
Scandrett, each senior kneels on
a tiny upholstered stool used
since the earliest days of the col-
lege. Each senior again kneels
on this little stool at graduation to
receive the hood of her Bachelor's
Degree.

The seniors have chosen as
this year's Investiture speaker
Dr. "Catherine Strateman Sims,
Associate Professor of History and
Political Science. She will speak
on the place of education in lead-
ership after college.

Crawford To Solo,
Boggs To Speak
At Sunday Worship

On Sunday morning a regular
eleven o'clock service of worship
will be held in Gaines Chapel with
Dr. Wade H. Boggs, Moderator of
the General Assembly of the Pres-
byterian Church, delivering the
sermon on the topic, "Constrain-
ing Love." Music for the occasion
will be provided by the Agnes
Scott Glee Club, accompanied by
Sue Walker at the organ. The of-
fertory anthem is to be "Gallia"
by Gounod, soloist, Carolyn Craw-
ford.

For the first time in many
years, Dr. James Ross McCain,
President Emeritus of the college,
will be unable to attend the In-
vestiture activities, having prev-
iously accepted an out-of-town
speaking engagement.

It's All In Newsprint

The purpose of our newspaper is manifold. Primarily we
we try to serve as an interesting and informative weekly
document of the doings and ideals of the college community.
Sort of an 'of the students, by the students, for the students'
affaii. In addition we strive to hold faculty, parent, trustee,
advertiser, and alumnae interest. Files of the "News" are
kept to fill the need for a running history of the college and
so the scope of the paper must be broad enough to fill this
demand, also.

We on the newspaper have policies, usually set up at the
discrimination of the editor, which govern the style, content,
and make-up of each issue. One section of the publication,
however, is always reserved for student, faculty, alumna, etc.
opinion. Herein anyone may feel free to express opinion on
any matter which, having considered the matter thoughtful-
ly, he or she wishes to publicize. This privilege is part of our
heritage as American citizens our forefathers fought, among
others, these who suppressed the freedoms of press and
speech. These freedoms are ours today.

/'Letters to the Editor" do not always necessariry refledt
the opinion of the newspaper, although they may. They are
addressed to the camphs as a ommunity, and, oming from
individuals, not organizations, constitute individual opinion.
The only prerequisites set up by the newspaper policy is
that the letters be thoughtful, and that they be signed. No
one should ever establish an opinion which he or she would
not be willing to personally defend. "Letters to the Editor"
need not take a controversial stand, however. On the con-
trary thanks are said most adequately when said publicly.

The "Letters" column is the readers' editorial column. Any
member- of the editorial staff will be glad to take your letter,
or help you with whatever you wish to say. C. W.

Say Hey!

All our new cashmeres have been worn, our bridge game
is improving and our fingers have loosened and become ac-
customed to scratching out realms of quiz pages. Wearing
their never-washed Agnes Scott sweat shirts, the new
students have learned that they must be two minutes early
to beat the 9:30 mailroom rush .

We nave settled down to slow-but-sure school. Though
the first few days of the quarter now seem a giddy dream, as
viewed through half-moon circled eyes, one part of the spirit
of that time remains.

Faculty, dining room help, new students, and yardmen
and even that grouchy junior who lives next door) still are
cheered by a friendly greeting. Even though everybody is
familiar now and "they know we like them anyway" don't
fonget that Agnes Scott has always been noted for that "Say
"Hey" spirit. E. S.

Program Committee

Christian Association's '58 Club
is carrying out a new idea this
year in the way of planning pro-

planning committee with repre-
sentatives from the two freshmen
dormitories and the two cottages.
In order to know what would in-
terest the members at club meet-
ings, the committee held dorm
discussions on this subject. The
result of these talks is shown in
the good attendance at meetings.

Members of the committee are:

Students Express Opinions
On Various College Doings

CONFIDENTIAL

This is confidential. The kind of stuff not just everybody around
here knows. Anyway, I thought you'd make proper use of it, so here
goes. . . oh, yeah, just something I overheard when I went to Wash-
ington and wound up in the middle of a conversation.

It reems the purpose of an annual is to record a year of school
life? the people and parties, the pain and the progress thereof
in a permanently pleasing fashion, it 'pears, too, that a yearbook is
best defined as a "pictorial narrative and this is exactly what the
silhouette staff at Agnes Scott is trying to give out with in 1955.
They want to make this year really LIVE (formaldehyde, anyone?) in
memories no matter how sentimental that may sound, and every-
thing that has been an integral part of life this year will appear
either in pictures or narration. . . just see if it don't and then there's
the praise the editor was dishing out up there but just like I said that
kind of thing you don't hear every day, so mind how you pass it on.

The laurels went something like this: efforts toward putting out
such a "story of your lives" are already in full swing and there's a red
rose for Sally Wilt and her photography staff particularly Virginia
Hutchinson and Susan Austin for their diligent taking and selling
pictures around movie time, and for passing out the questionnaires
'way back when. Mary Oates served her time tabulating same: and
Donna Walkup made the box that swallowed them. Donna and her
art staff. Marianne Sargeant and Marilyn McClure have been working
hard and long on an outline for the dummy. ... (no relation to the
editor).

The business staff is at work digging up new ways to appeal to
advertisers and hopes to impress upon businessmen the importance
and value of such an institutional advertising medium which. . . . uhoh
sorry, ed , the other ed. being my unknowing source of information
just disappeared around the corner of the conference room and I

have no idea where she went do remember what I've been

telling you, though. . . it's a shame more people couldn't have eaves-
dropped with me

TENNIS

Agnes Scott's tennis courts are closed and locked on Sunday after-
noons. Quite a few of the students have been wondering just why this
is so. Church attendance could not possibly be threatened by opening
tennis courts on Sunday afternoons.

Sunday afternoon activities, for those not fortunate enough to have
friends, relatives, or dates to go out with, are limited to going into
Atlanta to a show, sitting in the Hub playing bridge, studying, and
loafing. For those to whom none of this appeals, an afternoon's tennis
game would be an excellent entertainment.

Tournament matches are sometimes not played by the deadline,
sometimes forfeited, because players can't find a convenient time
to play. Dbubles matches are especially difficult to arrange; it's
hard for four people to find a common time when none has a class, a
lab, or a meeting. Sunday afternoons would be an ideal time to play
off tournament matches.

Dates, coming out for a campus date, would enjoy being able to play
tennis. And Agnes Scott girls would welcome this way to entertain
them.

So far the main argument that has been advanced against opening
the tennis- courts on Sunday is that the people of Decatur wouldn't
approve of it.

Why should Agnes Scott's rules be made to suit a few unapproving
Decatur people? l

APPRECIATION

Last week was Halloween. For many of us it was the first holiday
away from home. The decorations, complete with witch, cornstacks,
ghost and pumpkins, which blend so effectively into the semi-dark-
ness of the dining hall at Halloween supper, made all the difference in
the world to the students spending the week-end on campus. To
those who made thes edecorations possible, Mrs. Lane in particular,
our heartfelt thanks. Your candles added a very warm glow of home-
like atmosphere to our life here.

Unseen, Unknown, Unequaled
Give "Power Behind Throne'

Dorothy Weakley

They are the unseen, unknown, and unequaled. They are
the people who see that we have heat on that first cold morn-
ing, hot water for that cup of instant coffee, and that the two
sheets and a pillow case, plus extras are laundered and re-
turned in four days.

Situated on the south corner
of the campus or to your right as
you walk up the path to the ob-
servatory, the college steam plant
and laundry are much more than
the brick buildings behind which
you look for a specimen of moss
for Biology 101, or the place
where you see the 150-foot smoke-
stack bearing the letters ASC.
Here you will find a great center
of activity and work. Here you
will find a group of people who
everyday are making a great and
necessary contribution to our life
at Agnes Scott.

Hot Air Hole

Perhaps all you can associate
with the power plant is the "hot
air hole" in front of the library
or the 6 o'clock rattling of the
radiators, but literally it is the
"power behind the throne." Al-
though* located away from the
central part of the campus, it has
contact with every building on
the campus.

One recently added gas boiler
and one coal boiler, operated and
watched at all times by one of
the three firemen, are the source
of all of the heat. The tremendous
amount of heat and fire in these
boilers creates 125 pounds of pres-
sure which leaves the steam plant
in a 14-foot underground tunnel
which branches out into six dif-
ferent lines. Incidently, the "hot
air hole" is a ventilator of this
tunnel and also serves as an en-
trance in case of emergency. The
pressure each line receives is reg-
ulated at the steam plant. From
one of these lines your radiator
gets its' heat. The "little noise"
you hear at six in the morning is
caused by the hot steam hitting
the cold radiator pipes. It is hoped
that in a few years we will be
able to have the heat on all night
and thermostatically controlled in
each dormitory. When this is
done there will be no noise and
thus you won't know when 6
o'clock comes.

This is the first year we have
used both gas and coal. Since we
have changed to gas the manual
work of the firemen has been
lessened considerably.

When coal was being used, 20
to 25 shovels of coal per minute
had to be shoveled by the one on
duty. It is the plan that in the fu-
ture we shall have one gas and
one oil boiler

Open 24 Hours

The steam plant has no office
hours. It is always open and there
is always one person on duty. Mr.
C. D. White, who has been at
Agnes Scott for 16 years, is the

is the assistant engineer. The fire-
men are F. F. Lewis, C. A. Parrot,

the loyal and dependable people
who operate the "power behind

Next door to the steam plant is

many Agnes Scott students for
quite a while the college laun-

Agnes Scott student is known
either by number or maybe by a
red, green, and wine shirt. This

They have seen the change from
cotton stockings to bobby sox.

The college laundry, managed

for the past 23 years by Mr. A.
B. Davis, has about a 40-year his-
tory. First, a maid had a shed
with a wash board and tub out-
side of Main Building. The first
real laundry was where Mr.
Roger's office is today, and in 1929
the laundry moved to its' present
location. There has been a great
change in the equipment from
gas irons, wash tubs and rough
boards to automatic washers and
ironers.

The amount of work and laun-
dry that the staff of 11 do is al-
most inconceivable. There are 460
bundles plus all the dining hall,
infirmary, and gymnasium laun-
dry. They operate daily from 8-
4:30 except for Thursday and Sat-
urday afternoons.

60 Years of Service

Your laundry is first sorted
and marked by two people who
together have served Agnes Scott
for 60 years. Just tell Beanie Har-
din or Es telle Rakes traw your
name and in nearly every case
they can tell you your laundry
number and possibly the color of
your laundry bag. They say their
biggest problem is "Betty's shirt
in Mary's bundle."

The bundles are then taken by
Dewy "Preacher" Adams who is
the washman. As Dewey says this
is a "hard job and you can't oper-
ate on three wheels and do it."
The laundry is washed in one of
3 washers which hold up to 120
pounds of dry clothes. Clothes go
through nine different waters.
Contour Curse

All flat work ironing is done
on a huge flat work ironer operat-
ed by Lessie Cash, who has been
at the laundry for 31 years, Willie
Lee Peek, Alice Bryant, and Co-
leen Lovette. They iron about 4
sheets a minute and the quartet of
operators quickly said that the
contour sheet was the "worst in-
vention" of modern times and it
took four times as long to iron
one and then it didn't look nice.

Ann plans to use her Spanish

her job in the agency this summer
Ann found that she and the chil-
dren she worked with had enough
Spanish in common for the chil-
dren to understand "Be quiet"
and "Leave the room."

A Tip

Though Ann does not like to put
her glasses on with her hair rolled
up and consequently cannot see
who is making noise in the hall,
(please don't take advantage of
this, sophomores) her eyes light
up when Rebekah is mentioned be-
cause she is "crazy about living

Blow, Roomie

A Spanish major, Ann is doing
independent study in addition to
her Student Government duties.
She passed her freshman year

man chorus, and surviving a blow
dealt by changing roommates af-
ter two weeks at school. As a
sophomore Ann was a member of
Lower House, and as a junior was
cottage president of Boyd. A
member of Organ Guild for the
last two years, Ann is a member
of Mortar Board this year.

Surprisingly this busy senior
does not like to write things down,
particularly study and time sche-
dules. Yet she still has time for
knitting, reading, and listening,
"horribly indescrinatingly," to any
sort of music that happens to be
in the stack of records.

Editor Divulges Secret of Pre-Written Stories;
Sha per Saves Space For Monday's Lecturer

(Editor's Note: Perhaps you students wonder how we cover a story breaking after the deadline.
We send a nonsensical story to the printer to reserve space until the true story comes in. We
thought you might enjoy reading one here it the complete, uncorrected copy of the Shaper story,

Last Monday night Ruth Shaper, world-renowned monolo-
gist, played to a full house in Presser hall. The audience en-
joyed a fascinating as the talented artist created with effort-
less ease a variety of personalities.

Openmg at 8:30. she presented a delightful monologue be-
tween two small boys, who were

school. She followed with a flaw-
less imitation of that great states-
man and politician, Joseph Q.
Belch, who has made a name for
himself in history as the Stymie
Symie Replooticrat.

Drooly Ghoul

Something about the manner of
the lady, beloved on the conti-
nent, where playhouses are packed
every night to view her perform-

ances, captured this southern
American audience. Throwing her-
self into the attire and expression
of a Charles Adams type ghoul,
she slinked across the stage and
delivered her address in grating
tones, while several small children
in the audience made repeated
trips out the rear of the hall.

Miss Shaper closed her even-
ing's performance with a strat-
ling realistic impersonation of
Benito Tito, cruel monarch of the
18th century, B.C., who held upper

slopoveria in his iron and unre-
lentless grasp for three centuries.

Ruthie and the Queen

Miss Shaper is flying direct
from Agnes Scott to be with the
queen mother at a bawl. She is
an especial favorite of Mary, hav-
ing gone through P S138493568,

ceived D Sc's at the time, and

In September, Katie flew to

As a whole, Katie is enjoying

experiences, football games and
blind dates. Not yet entirely used
to the restrictions of campus life,
she is looking forward to Christ-
mas vacation when she will live
among the members of an Ameri-
can family and get to understand
the life outside of college. She is
particularly anxious to learn more
about American traditions. Some-
times a bit annoyed at being al-
ways introduced to other foreign
students, she explains, "I don't
want to meet foreigners; I want
to get to know Americans."

Grace Chao, a pert freshman,
comes to us from China via New

Hailing originally from near

due to the World War. She speaks
five dialects fluently and finds
her knowledge useful in convers-
ing with other foreign students in
this country.

Through nine years of schooling
in six months' time: that's the
record Grace boasts. Beginning to
study English at the first grade
level in preparation for her high
school work, she passed through
each grade in turn, developing her
beautiful command of the spoken
language. "Now," she says with a
twinkle in her eye, "I guess I'm
beginning to learn how to write
English."

Among her major interests at
Agnes Scott are chemistry and
political science. She enjoys her

Students, Faculty Air Opinions
Of Proposed School Changes

By Genny Lucchese

Yesterday the voters of the state of Georgia gathered at
the polls to determine the fate of the "Private School Amend-
ment." Interest on campus has been running high these past
few weeks so we present here a cross section of campus
opinion concerning issue

How are they going to enforce
compulsory education when the
state doesn't control the schools?"

B. J. SCHAUFELE. ... "I think
it is good evidence of the methods
bad politicians might use to force
something on people they know to
be indifferent or easily swayed."

JOANNE MIKLAS. . . . "The
arguments that have been advanc-
ed on behalf of the amendment
are to my way of thinking, falla-
cious, and, although I am for seg-
regation, the amendment as pro-
posed, is an absurdity."

MISS SALYERDS. . . . "I'm not
in favor of it. Seems to me that its
beating around the bush, and I
don't think we should go out of
our way to defeat the supreme
court if that's the law we're going
to live under.

PAULINE WALKER .... "As
Dr. Goodlad said in chapel, the
amendment is too permissive."

HILDA HINTON ....
"I think its silly to expect people
to vote on something where noth-
ing is guaranteed.

MARY NELL MOBLEY,
"AMEN" (to Hilda's statement;
not the amendment).

joanne McCarthy

"Personally, I believe that if no
other solution can be agreed upon
to solve the problem of segrega-
tion, the amendment should be
passed. It is my opinion that the
results could* be no worse than
a non segregation system in
schools."

TEENA MIDDLETON . . . Peo-
ple are looking at the whole thing
in much too narrow a sense." ,

DR. ROBERTS. . . . "One point
is the accrediting. It would be un-
fortunate if schools in the state
of Georgia lost their accrediting,
since you would have lowering of
the standards of the higher schols
to meet the level of the students."
"If this goes through, the Federal
government will probably cut off
all Tederal aid to schools, and this
would put a tremendous burden
on the Georgia taxpayers."

PAT HALE . . . "Hh, I think
its DEPLORABLE. Have you
written a scenario yet?"

BEVERLY WATSON HOWIE .
. . . Legal istically, as Dr. Good-
lad said, its a blank check. In an
underhanded way, its simply play-
ing into the hands of any white
Demagogue."

MARYANNE McPHERSON . . .
"My personal opinion is that it
would be a tragedy for the Public
Education system of Georgia if
this Amendment is passed".

CAROLYN MOON. . . . "Its en-
tirely unnecessary because it
doesn't solve the segregation issue
in the schools."

MISS DEXTER. ... "I object
to going back a century or more
in civilization, and I know enough
about the history of American
education to support my state-
ment."

JEANNE LEVIE. ... "I don't
thinks its at all necessary. Of
course my opinion is naturally not
Southern and I went to a mixed
school. I think something could be
worked out by distribution here
in the South. .

The South should realize the
world wide importance of this
iflSUe, We've done a lot of things,
generally speaking, that we have
to save face for. I feel awfully

sorry for the South because I
think they have a terrific problem
that no other section of the coun-
try has."

LIB FLYNN. . .\ "I think that
the private school amendment is
definitely defeating the whole idea
of American public education."

VEE WILLIAMSON .... "Al-
ready voted against it. The basic
issue is not actually segregation."

GEORGIA SYRIBEYS. . . . "If
this amendment passes, it will be
a positive indication of the blind-
ness, ignorance and stupidity of
the people of Georgia."

HARRIETT STOVALL. . . "the
arguments for the passage of this
amendment are not at all con-
vincing to me as an answer to the
problem of segregation, nor do
they justify the destruction such
an act might well wreak within
our society when public education
is abolished. One of the greatest
values of our free public school
system is the principle for which it
stands; representation of the aims
and ideals of a free people. The
proposed amendment seems to ig-
nore that value entirely".

BLANCHE SPENCER. . . "The
whole amendment is so ambiguous
that it is frightening to think
of what might happen if it is pass-
ed."

Laundry

derson, Willie Bloodsaw, and Jo-
Ann Smith, who total 57 years at
the laundry, are the people who
have seen the change from the
middy blouses and skirts to the
man-tailored shirts. They all ad-
mitted that this new style of
shirts with its' long sleeves
"wasn't the easiest to iron."

This is only a bird's eye view
of the work of the laundry. There
is much more that has to happen
before you may walk to the table
in the dorm and pick up your
clean and w r ell-done laundry.

Both the steam plant and the
laundry are open to the campus
community. Sometime in your four
years at Agnes Scott make a visit
to these two most interesting
places and get acquainted with

Eight Students Represent A S
At Annual Press Convention

May Muse

On Oct. 21-22 eight representatives from Agnes Scott at-
tended the annual convention of the Associated Collegiate
Press at the Statler Hotel in Washington, D. C. They were
Carolyn Wells. Dorothy Weakley, Betty Claire Regen, and
May Muse from the "News"; Sally Shippey, Julia Beeman,

and Sally Wilt from the "Silhou-
ette" and Georgia Syribeys repre-
senting the "Aurora". Some 625
people attended the convention:
325 represented newspapers, 220
yearbooks, and 10 magazines. Fac-
ulty advisors, speakers, and dis-
cussion leaders completed the list
of those present.

At the opening convocation on
Thursday, Fred Kildow, director
of the Associated Collegiate Press
called the meeting to order and
introduced James Russell Wiggins,
managing editor of the Washing-
ton Post, who spoke on "Our Trou-
bled Times." Roscoe Drummond,
chief of the Washington Bureau
of the New York "Herald Tri-
bune" was the second speaker; he
talked on "Covering Washington:

A gala event of Nov. 5 is the

by Mary Alice Kemp, the C. A.
Intercollegiate Representative on
the campus. The Tech YMCA has
invited a number of Agnes Scott
girls to join the festivities.

The evening will include a din-
ner in the Tech cafeteria at 7:00.
This is to be followed by a panel
discussion on Germany. Sissy Mc-
Swain is in charge of the program
of international interest. A party
which will entertain the Tech stu-
dents and the Agnes Scott girls
will follow. The entire event is
planned to further intercollegiate
activities.

terests. Among the sessions to
choose from the newspaper "Put-
ting Sparkle into Headlines,"
"Copy Editing: Get it Right and
Say it Right," and "News Report-
ing and Coverage." The "Silhouet-
te" delegates picked from such
meetings as "Filling a Yearbook:
Photography, Art Work, and
Color," "Producing a Yearbook:
Cutting Costs, Keeping the Busy
Staff Happy," and "Advertising
in a Yearbook."

Outstanding writers in the news-
paper business spoke at many of
the meetings: other meetings were
panel discussions presided over by-
professors in schools of journal-
ism and supplemented by editors
or business managers of publica-
tions in some of the larger univer-
sities.

The convention was climaxed by
a banquet Friday night at the
Statler Hotel followed by a
dance. Phil Potter, Washington
correspondent for the Baltimore
"Sun" was the speaker for the
banquet. His speech entitled "The
Washington Red-Squad Beat" cov-
ered the history of the Communist
Party in the U. S. He spoke of the
past legislation covering the ac-
tivities of the Communists and the
recent legislation outlawing the
party, of which he dissapproved
heartily. Senator McCarthy and
his tactics played an important
part in the speech. Mr. Potter
felt that McCarthy's actions had
hurt U. S. relations abroad im-
mensely. He also expressed the
opinion that McCarthy had no pre-
conceived plan of action, that he
liked the publicity he received,
and that many of his actions and
speeches were made on the spur
of the moment.

Seniors Tuck Hockey Crown
In Pockets For Second Time

Carolyn Wells

Tho 1954 hockey season is over. Two bitterly contested
matches last Friday in nippy autumn air sealed the regular
season and delivered it to the records as history.

The Senior team, placed lower on the ladder in pre-season
speculation, out-pointed the frosh, 2-0. to close up shop with

an unmarred performance
this fall, and the hockey crown in
their back pocket. This is the sec-
ond autumn championship for the
green team, which palmed the
title back in '52 for the first time.

In the second half of the dou-
ble bill, the sophs scored a stirring
victory over the junior team, rat-
ed by many as the best in school.
The 3-2 win was the second-year
eleven's first in two years.

The freshmen have a team to
watch. Theirs is the potentiality
of a really great club. Sparked by
consistent backfield play, and fir-
ed by the skillful and relentless
motion in the forward ranks, the
infant unit was impressive in de-
feat. The seniors drove forward
with clockwork precision to a 1-0
lead in the first minutes of play.
They rang up their final tally in
the second half. Senior backfield
play, ever the strong point of the
team, was exceptionally outstand-
ing in this, their final regular sea-
son tilt with stick and ball.

The juniors scored a moral vic-
tory Friday tho' the final whistle
found them on the short end of
the score. Playing against the odds
as well as the sophomores, they
found the combination a bit too
great. With their backfield lacking
in numbers, the third-year bunch
fought desperately against the
improved sophomores, who defin-
itely were functioning well. Caro-
lyn Herman led the soph second
quarter rally with two markers to
overcome the 2-1 lead which the
juniors posted at half time. Louisa
Allen, Jane Stubbs, and Joanne

Seniors Stand Guard At Hub;
Mere Peons Party Elsewhere

By Vivian Hays

The seniors did all right this week-end with all of the out-of-town
football games, and .those who stayed on campus had a fabulous
time at the Halloween Party. Seen playing charades Saturday night
in the Hub were: Grace Olert, Jane Nelson, Trudy Awbrey, Mary
Love L'heureux, the Graftons, Tunsy Kwilecki, Donna McGinty, Paula
Ball, and me too.

Nancy Love, Alice Ann Klostermeyer, Connie Curry, and Louise
Robinson went to Duke for the game with Tech. Homecoming at
Davidson included Stella Biddle, Virginia Fuller, V. A. Redhead,
Becca Fowell, LeGrande Smith and Jane Moore who received a
Kappa 3ig Pin. Florida also' had its Homecoming and among those
invited were Ann Harlee and Berta Jackson. Peggy McMillan and
Harriett Hampton- went to Knoxville to the Carolina-Tennessee
game and Joan Adair went to the Alabama-Georgia game in Mont-
gomery. Also off for a big week-end was Sara Moore, who went to
Wasnington and Lee.

Two seniors acquired new jewelry, Jeanne Levie with a Pike pin
and Polly Morgan with a beautiful ring (just ask Sally White about
the good luck t she brings her roommates). Marijke Schepman's visitor
was Bill, from med school up north.

Louisa Allen's coming out was made official at the debutante ball
Saturday night. The Delts at Tech had a spook celebration and two
who forgot their brooms were Dee Walton and Jackie Johnson. Mary
Oates, Jean Clark, Marion McCall, Ann McWhorter, Jeanne Slade,
and Memye Curtis, who is the new DTD sponsor, and Catherine
Hodgin froze on a hay ride given by North Ave. Presbyterian church.

Friday night the Campus Club at Emory had a square dance an i
those seen "do-si-doing" were: Mollie Merrick, Mary Edna Clark,
Eileen Graham, Joan Sanders, Liz Schumacher, and Sue Tile. Frances
Patterson enjoyed the IFC dance at Emory Friday night.

All in ail I would say we had a pretty successful Halloween. Don't

Continuing in its unbeaten
ways, the A.S.C. tennis team de-
feated the Wesleyan College var-
sity, 5-1, last Wednesday. The
matches were played on the Scot-
tie courts.

Four singles and two doubles
matches were played. Sis Burns
and Anna Avil, playing in first
and second singles positions re-
spectively, scored easy victories
over their opponents. Sis won two
straight sets, 6-1, 6-1, while Anna
played a perfect 6-0, 6-0 match.

In the only three-set match,
Mary Hobby Mills, playing in third
singles position rallied from be-
hind to win 0-6, 6-3, 6-3. Kit Cros-
by captured the other singles vic-
tory, 6-2, 6-2.

Carolyn Herman and Jo Sawyer,
the Scottie's number one doubles
team, was the varsity's fifth vic-
tory, 6-1, 6-1. Peggy Bridges and
Sally Legg suffered the only de-
feat, 3-6, 4-6, in the second dou-
bles match.

After the games, the Wesleyan
team and instructor were guests
of A. A. board for dinner. A re-
match between the two teams is
tentatively set for spring quarter.

The Educated Woman

The influence of the educat-
ed American woman is one of
the strongest forces for good
in our national life today.

It is Christian liberal educa-
tion, not narrow, specialized
training, that has developed
her abilities and insights. As
homemaker-citizen and as ca-
reerist-citizen, she justifies
magnificently the faith of those
who a century ago were fight-
ing for her right to learn what
she wished to learn.

Book Collecting

Each year the Louise McKinney Book Award of twenty-
five dollars is given to the Agnes Scott student who, in the
opinion of the judges, acquires during the current year from
May to May the most interesting and discriminating personal
library and who reveals real understanding of her books.

To be eligible for the award,

a collection must contain at least
fifteen books. These may be in-
expensive editions or second-hand
books; it is expected, however,
that the collector will choose as
a foundation for a lasting library,
the best standard editions and
well made books in good condi-
tion. For information concerning
the best inexpensive editions of
standard works, collectors might
consult librarians, faculty mem-
bers, and publishers. A collection
may contain gifts, but the whole
collection is expected to give evi-
dence of the collector's own ini-
tiative and discriminating choice.
In whatever way books are ac-
quired, they should represent the
owner's tastes, either in several
fields of interest, such as fic-
tion, biography, philosophy, poe-
try, drama, history, art, or music,
or in one special field.

The winner of the award is ex-
pected to use it for some kind
of intellectual or artistic enrich-
ment; buying books, pictures, or
music records, attending plays or
concerts.

Book collectors should enter the
contest as soon as possible. The
names of the contestants must be
handed to some member of the
English department by the end of
the fall quarter. In May, before
the beginning of the spring quar-
ter examinations, the book collec-

tions, will be examined by a com-
mittee of judges and the book
owners informally interviewed
concerning their books. The name
of the winner of the award will
be announced at commencement.

The Louise McKinney Book
Award was established a number
of years ago as a memorial to
Miss Louise McKinney, professor
emeritus of English, who, during
her years of teaching, awakened
in many Agnes Scott students a
love of reading and a delight in
the ownership of books.

Names of contestants must be
handed in by the end of this quar-
ter '

Writer Shows Student's Need:
One Religious Home At College

Linda Guenther

Is a church home-away-from-home really necessary? Em-
phatically yes! But does the affirmative answer mean that we
shouldn't shop around? Emphatically no! Choosing our
church home-away-from-home is as important as choosing
between Classics 101 and History 101 or English 211 and
French 257. The question of which '

course is most interesting and
most profitable to use is similar to
that of whether we are most at
home with the Episcopal or Bap-
tist forms of worship. To be sure,
we must search to find what we
want in a church; through our
search we broaden our outlook
toward other denominations. How-
ever, as an old saying puts it, "A
rolling stone gathers no moss"
and neither do we find what we
are looking for in a church home
by doing nothing but visit a dif-
ferent church each Sunday.

Someone has said that we only
get out of something what we put
into it, but this statement is not
altogether true as applied to
church membership. We know
from home town experiences that
the friendly greetings and warm
interest of the minister and fellow
church members are a very large
part of the Christian fellowship
we hope for in a church. College
students find the same friendliness
whenever they attend one church
several times. Even though our
contributions of money and ser-
vice as college students is negli-
gible, we still are provided with
Sunday School teachers, Sunday
evening program's, and the spiri-
tual guidance and services of the
minister.

We have an obligation, too, to
our churches at home. They are

depending on us to have some-
thing new and constructive to
contribute when we come home,
and we must have had the experi-
ence of being active "in absen-
tia" church members in order to
fulfill the obligation.

In short, we owe it to ourselves
to keep in practice what we be-
lieve, and we owe it to our
churches at home to maintain
the faith they have labored so
hard to instill in us. None of us
want to go through life wandering
from one occupation to another,
without purpose and without plan.
We do not want to seek and never
find what we are looking for in
a church. We must find a church
we feel a part of, settle on it and
spend these next few months as
active participants in its program
just as we do at home. Do we need
a church home-away-from-home?
Emphatically yes!

Salute To The Diligent

They are worthy of the role of seniorhood.

They are those one hundred members of the Agnes Scott
family who are forever streaming the colors yellow and black
or chanting "fight diligently."

Many of us have watched them for one or two years and
noted how they have excelled in nearly everything they
have undertaken. The secret of their success? They have a
unity that serves them in all of their projects. Co-operation
is at their command in all sports. A common interest thrusts
them into school activities. Class spirit, they possess and
school spirit possesses them.

This last has been their week. Friday they were "little
girls/' and Saturday they were invested with full seniority.
But whether in a pinafore or cap and gown, they inspire us
all with "four years of strength."

So it i$ that even "arch enemies" must suspend class rival-
ry .at this time to salute the seniors. Here's to them; maybe
not always ahead, but always together. D. W.

Humorist Probes Male Mind;
Discovers Much of Interest

Lucchese

Since Agnes Scott P. O. Box No. 2 (Lucchese and Lowry)
is one of the ones at the top, and the bottom of it is
flat (which means that mail never conveniently slides out into

your eagerly awaiting palm
thorough search with a small
has been spending enough
time in the mailroom lately to
catch a few choice comments.

These comments are usually of
the exclamatory type and are
evoked by the appearance or ab-
sence of letters from young men.

If you pursue the subject, you
will find these young men can be
classified into three main cate-
gories :

1. Those that write "Real
Sweet" letters.

2. Those that write Perfectly
Hideous letters ("Four whole pa-
ges and he didn't say a thing; not
a thing")

3. Those that find writing a
bore and therefore don't.

However, the mysterious work-
ings of the male mind on the sub-
ject of letter writing have come
to light and I shall pass on to
you the results of a carefully con-
trolled scientific poll taken re-
cently with two young gentlemen
who had best remain unidentified
but may be classified as experts
on the subject.

Q. Have you ever written to a
girl?

Answer (Expert No. 1). "Not
me. I say goodby before I leave."

Q. Do you have any pet peeves
concerning letters you receive
from the fairer sex?

A. (Expert No. 1) "Yeah, these
endings like, "well, I'd better
close now and go to dinner" when
obviously if you cared anything
about what you were writing, you
could just come back after dinner
and finish the thing."

A. (Expert No. 2) "What about
these crazy questions that're re-
diculous and already answered
like 'How are you? Fine, I hope'."

Q. How do you feel about com-
ments on the weather?

A. (Expert No. 2) "You know
what I do when I get one of those
'It's very cold here. How is it
there?' I clip the weather report
out of the paper and send it to
her. Just the weather report;
nothing else."

Q. What is your opinion of
young men that wait til a week
before the big dance to put pen
to paper ?

i Expert No. 2) "Listen, Boys
are very anti-long range plans. A
week is practically the maximum.
Those people who ask more than
a week in advance are absolutely
absurd. You might fall desperate-
ly m love in the meantime, and
want to date somebody else. And
besides you can't ever tell when
you're going to get a chance to go
hunting.

and therefore necessitates a
rake twice daily) yours truly

"Even if I'm frantically in love
with a A girl (which I have been
on occasion) I never wrote for a
date more than a week in advance.
I'd have been horribly ridiculed."

Q. Anything else on your minds,
boys?

A. (Expert No. 1) "Yeah, girls
just plunge right in and start
writing with no set pattern in
mind. You're always wondering
where the heck page three is. It
wouldn't be so bad if they'd both-
er to number, but that doesn't look
dainty, so they don't."

A. (Expert No. 2) "I'll tell you
what really shakes you up is
when you lose your head, see, and
finally do break down and write
three weeks ahead, for a date, and
then you get this little short note
two days before the big blast, see,
and it says "I'm sorry I can't
come; I have to baby sit. Of course
this never happened to me, but I
imagine it'd be rough."

(Here expert No. 1 remem-
bers another pet peeve and in-
jects it)

"And another thing; all this
repetition. You get one letter and
then three weeks later you get
another one exactly like it. Hold
'em up to the light and they
match."

(Expert No. 2 brings up anotner
point).

"Ever get one with carbon pa-
per marks on it? What a slash.

Q. What is your opinion of the
efficiency of letter writing?

A. (Expert No. 1) I prefer per-
fer personal contacts and phone
calls"

A. (Expert No. 2) Letters are
definitely inefficient unless you
have a certain set of facts to com-
municate: 'We're having a Christ-
mas party on Dec. 18. tan you
come up' or 'Meet me at the south
gate; not the north gate.' See what
I mean?"

Q. (Directed to Expert No. 2)
Do you mean to tell me you didn't
write any letters when you were
overseas?

A. "I think I wrote one or two."

Q. Well, if you're thinking about
a girl, you would write her
wouldn't you?

A. "Why think about her if
she's over here and you're in Ko-
rea?"

Q. What are your personal feel-
ings toward those cads who are
supposed to be going with girls
and don't write?

Kohler Will Lecture
On Psychology Ideas

Wolfgang Kohler, Professor of Psychology at Swarthmore
College will be in the Atlanta area next week as a Visiting
Scholar of the University Center in Georgia. He comes at
the invitation of the Philosophy Departments of the several
member institutions of the Center, and will be on the campus
of Agnes Scott College, Emory

University, Oglethorpe Universi-
ty Georgia Institute of Techno-
logy, and the University of Geor-
gia in Athens. He will speak at
Agnes Scott in 207 Science Hall
at 8:00 Thursday night, Novem-
ber 11.

Although Professor Kohler is
known chiefly as a psychologist

and as one of the leaders in the
"Gestalt" movement, he held un-
til 1935 a professorship in psycho-
logy at the University of Berlin,
and his lectures on contemporary
philosophy have attracted large
numbers of students. He is ex-
cellently qualified to discuss boun-
dary problems of the two fields.

educated in Germany, Professor
Kohler has been at Swarthmore

Campus Physician Reveals Interesting Story
Of Thirty Years 7 Missionary Work in Pakistan

Dorothy Weakley *

"Home is where your heart is."

Live in a place for 30 years and work and associate directly with its people and wouldn't
you call it home?

This can be applied to our college doctor, D r. Janet Alexander, who was a missionary
doctor to Pakistan for 30 years and in many respects thinks of it as home.
The story of her work there is

they let a Christian doctor or

most interesting and inspiring. She
began her mission work in 1920 in
Montgomery, Pakistan in a mis-
sion hospital for women and chil-
dren. There was a government
hospital for men.

Language

Her first year in Pakistan was
devoted entirely to learning the
languages of the people. It was
necessary that she learn two lan-
guages because there are two
completely different ones spoken
there. There is the Urdo language
spoken by the literate people and
Penjabe, the language of the illit-
erate or village people. Like all of
the missionaries that go to Pakis-
tan, she spent 8 hours a day for
the first year studying the lan-
guage. After the first year, she
began her medical work, but for
2 hours a day for four years she
continued the study of the lan-
guages.

The work that lay before the
missionaries was a never-ending
challenge. The problems were
many. In the '20's Pakistan was
composed mostly of Hindus and

Caste System

few Mohammedans. As a result of
this the caste system was predom-
inant. This was a problem for the
missionaries because the Hindus
felt that they would be defiled if

a

nurse touch them or give them any
food or medicine. Thus when a
Hindu lady came to the hospital
she would bring all of her linen
and food with her, plus a Hindu
servant to cook her food.

At this time there was also
many diseases; the main ones were
tuberculosis and malaria. They
had no vaccination for smallpox
and as a result had many epide-
mics. Dr. Alexander says that
many times as many a 20,000
people would die in two weeks
from smallpox. The doctors would
get this under control by getting
the village women to go up and
down the streets to all of the
houses and give the people vacine.

Another problem was that of

Faith

building up within the people a
faith in the work of the doctors
and nurses. Many of the people
would not come to a hospital until
they were almost dying and it was
nearly impossible to seek out all
of these people in their homes.
Dr. Alexander says that their best
"advertising" was someone who
would come to the hospital and be
cured and then return to the vil-
lage.

The work of the doctors in Pak- I
istan is not specialized. One must
not only be a general practi- )

tioner but surgeon, pediatrician,
obstetrician, and all. Their work
is not limited to medical work
either, they do some evangelistic
work. About 100 people went
through mission clinic every day.
The calls to the home were quite
varied. Dr. Alexander often made
calls as far away as 80 miles and
she tells of some that took as long
as 24 and 26 hours.

Dr. Alexander would stay in
Pakistan for 6 years and then re-
turn to the States for a year and
a half. In the course of her 30
years there she saw many changes
and vast improvement.

Growl h

The mission hospital, of which
she was head, grew from 25 to 50
beds. The majority of the people
are now Mohammedans and the
problem of the caste system is
gone. The Mohammedans are most
tolerant of the Christians who
make up about two percent
of the population. They feel that
the Christians are trying to help
them and they have much respect
for them. The Mohammedans now
have a national pride; no longer do
they feel suppressed.

Investiture Spotlights Seniors
As Parents and Friends Visit

By Judy Brown

The Agnes Scott community grew by leaps and bounds last week-
end os visitors flocked in from near and far to be with the seniors for
Investiture. There were parents, friends, and "beau-lovers" all over
the campus as the seniors donned their mortar boards and tassels for
the first time.

Although ASC had dibs on THE big week-end, there were a few
other activities on other campuses. Over at Emory Friday night was
the IPC sing. Jane Miller, Celeste Rogers, Molly Prichard, Catherine
Giraaeau, and Sis Burns were spectators as the Sigs sang their way
to first place. After the sing, there was dancing to the tunes of three
combos, one at the Chi Phi, and Phi Delt, and ATO houses.

At Tech, there were more combos. The ATOs had a mighty lively

Two types of tigers attracted a number of Scotties this week-end.
The Clemson variety appealled to Judy Peace and Nancy Jackson who

and Nancy Edwards down API way.

An almost exact quote from our friend Tommy Coleridge sums

Playing the organ is, however,
Carolyn's primary musical accom-
plishment. Those of us who have
heard her play in chapel (especial-
ly on little girl's day) understand
why she has been in demand as
organist and assistant organist of
Atlanta churches from Baptist to
Greek Orthodox. Carolyn, (you
guessed it) a music major, is do-
ing special studies in composition
this year. Each year's activities
have included membership and of-
fices in Glee Club, Organ Guild,
and Music Club. She has also
served as a member of Lower
House, News reporter and assist-
ant editor, and this year as a
member of Mortar Board.

Anything contemporary music,
art, and architecture fascinates
Carolyn, along with philosophy
and psychology. She also loves to
accompany, having done student
aid of this type for three years.

There are only a few blots on
Carolyn's happy view of the world
and one of these is any occasion
that requires speaking in public.
She says "no one appreriates my
East Tennessee twang. A speech
in frosh Biology on 'nice litenin
bugs with brite white lites'
cured me." However in spite
of this not very serious limi
tation this talented senior with
her varied interests and ability
to see fun in every situation seems
to enjoy life immensely.

The weather outside may be
"frightful" but Scottie sports en-
thusiasts are still sticking to the
out-of-doors as hockey, archery
and tennis top the sports list this
week. Two archery" tournaments
rate highest on this list.

The hockey field was invaded
by A.S.C. 's top archers yesterday
for the annual class tournament.
Archery manager, Byrd Hoge, di-
rected the meet and was assisted
by Barbara Huey and Mrs. Lapp,
physical education instructor. All
participants were required to
shoot two Columbia rounds as a
pre-requisite.

Next Tuesday afternoon the in-
dividual archery tourney will be
held. The meet is open to any
A.S.C. student who wishes to en-
ter. Winners in both tournaments
will add points toward the class
athletic cup to be awarded at the
end of the year.

Hockey class competition will
hold its finale Friday afternoon
beginning at 4 p. m. The seniors,
already crowned as champions,
will play the sophomores while
the freshmen and juniors will tan-
gle in a battle for second place.

The influence of the educat-

the strongest forces for good
in our national life today.

It is Christian liberal educa-
tion, not narrow, specialized
training, that has developed
her abilities and insights. As
homemaker-citizen and as ca-
reerist-citizen, she justifies
magnificently the faith of those
who a century ago were fight-

VOL. XL

Agnes Scott College, Decatur, Georgia, November 17, 1954

No. 7

. . . Carolyn Wells

(From the New York Times
News Service)

"MOSCOW, November 13 In a
bid to forestall ratification of
the Paris agreements for the arm-
ing of West Germany, the Soviet
Union issued formal invitations
Saturday for an all-European se-
curity conference. It would be held
in Moscow or Paris on Nov. 29.

"Notes conveying the invitation
were sent to the diplomatic mis-
sions of all 23 European powers
with which the Soviet Union main-
tains relations, to the embassy of
the United States, and to the em-
bassy of Communist China, which
was asked to send an observer.

"The Soviet proposal already
has been presented many times to
the three major Western powers
without evoking any positive re-
sponse. The essence of this pro-
posal is the denouncement of the
Paris proposals, which would allow
an armed and sovereign West
Germany to enter the Western Eu-
ropean union. As an alternative
Moscow has put forward again its
plan for a mutual security pact
embracing all powers in Europe,
regardless of their political sys-
tem.

"As recently as three weeks ago
the Soviet Foreign Ministry sent
another note to the United States,
Britain and France proposing a
meeting of the four foreign minis-
ters this month to consider with-
drawing all occupation troops from
East and West Germany, reuniting
the country and summoning an
all-European security conference.
No response has been made to ""hat
invitation.

"Saturday the Soviet army
newspaper Red Star accused the
Western Powers of resorting to
maneuvers' to evade the confer-
ence while not openly rejecting
it."

' And in answer. . . .

"WASHINGTON, Nov. 13
United States diplomatic authori-
ties brushed aside Saturday the
Soviet Union's proposal for an all-
European security meeting as an
insincere gesture and a propa-
ganda appeal.

"United States officials found
the Soviet note, although a little
more specific, a repetition of pro-
posals that have been made by
Moscow since the four-power for-
eign ministers conference in Ber-
lin last January and February.

"The British government will
oppose the Soviet's proposal for a
multi-nation conference on Euro-
pean security, at least until the
Paris agreements to rearm West
Germany are being implemented.

"It was noted that the Soviet
government did not even attempt
to hide the real purpose of its pro-
posal, which is to divide the West-
ern Allies and destroy their plans
for unifying and defending Europe.

"The inclusion of Communist
China as an observer at the pro-
posed meeting, according to this
view, was a clear indication that
Moscow's action was not a serious
attempt to call a security meeting
of the United States, the Soviet
Union and some 23 other European
governments."

And so the diplomatic struggle
over the rearmament of Western
Germany goes on.

Don't Fail To See
Skin of Our Teeth

"Rational as geometry," a critic has said. The year's "most
interesting and exciting play," exclaims yet another. Since
its opening "The Skin of Our Teeth" has caused much com-
ment among those who know drama. The play's author,
Thornton Wilder of "Our Town" and "The Haopy Journey

has been accused of every conceiv-
able good and evil, including a
rather fantastic plagiarism charge
connected with James Joyce's
"Finnegan's Wake." (see library
display).

The proof of the success of Wil-
der's play rests on the fact that
audiences have everywhere receiv-
ed it with warmth and joy its
New York original played to spec-
tators who hung over the rail in
the back of the theater. This is
exactly the effect Blackfriars hope
to produce with its production of
the whacky pljay. It is anticipated
that there will be considerable
enthusiasm at the rear of Gaines
Chapel on Friday 19th, if only that
of first nighters sitting on their
hands to make sure their eyes are
not deceiving them.

In the Blackfriars production a
new interpretation of a role origi-
nally created by Tallulah Bank-
head will, be presented by a well-
known campus actress. She will
play Sabina, "a girl who has been
around for 5,000 years without
noticable wear and tear." (again
see library outplay). Rock-ribbed
Mrs. Antrobus, her (to Mrs. A.)
unladylike daughter Gladys, and a
doom-predicting fortuneteller are
among the other women's roles to
be created. Men's roles will be
played by experienced actors from
Emory, Georgia Tech, and Atlan-

ta.

The first act of this production
contains some intriguing new curse
words and will mark the stage de-
but of four promising faculty ac-
tors (Garber, Hayes, . McDowell,
and Robinson,) so promptness at
curtain-time is essential. Since
fifteen extras and a wheel chair
stroll over the stage where a
seduction scene is taking place in
the second act, you can see that
it would be disasterous to step out
for a mid-play coke. Leaving early
to get ahead of the crowd will
also be to your disadvantage, for
then you will never know that the
play does not end. The best way
to get your money's worth is to
stay to the place you came in and
see why Mr. Wilder calls "Skin of
Our Teeth" a "tribute to the indes-
structability of the human spe-
cies."

Yes, this article is written with
the obvious intention of enticing
each of you to this sneak-prevue,
opening night, and closing per-
formance all rolled up into one.
And it is guaranteed that the ex-
perience will be profitable. For
you will not feel even slightly
lonely or afraid as "you walk home
across the dark campus. Mr. Wil-
der's heartening and humorous
characters will give you an all's-
right-with-the-world glow that
will last for days.

Time's Not Worth It

The days sift into hours that tick into minutes and every
body hurries because there isn't much time left. But in the
midst of all this festive hustle and bustle, hundreds of peo-
ple will die die because of the futile speed which they
foolishly thought was necessary.

Thanksgiving holidays are coming up. Non-activity week,
exam week, then Christmas will follow in swift succession.
Holiday periods will be good. To sit back, relax, sleep late,
have no classes these luxuries will be welcome. The joy of
being with family once again, of telling the tales of college
life, of sitting by the fireside with no English theme to write,
these days of rest and change will be wonderful.

But be sure that it is that way.

As we all know, holiday seasons with their fun and fes-
tive occasions are also times for heart-breaking statistics
to rise. Young people all over America, out of school, tend to
celebrate a bit too recklessly, all too often fatally so. In
youth minds are quicker, reflexes better, but too frequently
an irresponsible attitude toward driving and the responsi-
bilities involved is prominent. The mortality rate shoots up
during holidays, the little man with the scythe gets his
share, sorrow is sown.

Speed is the greatest cause of automobile accidents. Speed
plus irresponsibility equals danger in any book, especially
the statistics record.

True, many accidents are due to mechanical failure, "the
other fellow", etc., and, though deplorable, they are unavoid-
able. Many accidents are avoidable, however. It is our con-
secrated duty to exercise care at all times while operating
a moving vehicle. No life is too worthless to be destroyed,
even unwittingly, and especially unnecessary. C.W.

Meeting the Deadlines

Don't put it off any longer. You know they're coming; they're
inevitable; they're just bound to come. Sooner or later tests,
papers, reports, and those unavoidable exams are bound to
hit you fast and furiously.

The majority of us will say to ourselves, "Well, I'll just
put off writing this paper a few days longer, and maybe
she'll change her mind about our having to write one;" or
"I've already spotted all the questions for this test, and I'm
sure he won't ask that unimportant little fact;" or perhaps
"I've had all my quizzes in that course until exam time so I'll
just v/ait until exam time comes to study for it." That's just
plain old rationalization, and you know it.

The facts are inescapable. That time-worn, procrastination
adage, don't put off until tomorrow what you can do to-
day, still holds true for us here.

Though they may seem to be in the distant future, tests
and papers have a habit of being assigned for the same day.
It may be hard to study for tests several days ahead of
time, but that paper could be gotten out of the way, and
the time needed for the test could be devoted exclusively
to that test. M.M.

SG President Tells
Attendance Policy
For Winter Quarter

The president of Student Govern-

these recommendations concern-

the faculty on November 12. Earl-
ier this quarter student govern-
ment had submitted some sug-

ing were adopted:

1. That no change be made in
the present policy governing class
attendance for freshmen during

2. That each freshman who
makes a grade of C or above in
every subject for the fall quarter
be given the privilege of voluntary
class attendance for the winter

this average on mid-quarter
grades.

3. That no change be made in

This is the same play that had a
successful run at the Vanderbilt

group of actors are from the Flat

Schaufele Biography Relates
Story of Inman President

May Muse

Her warm smile can be seen and her cheery "Hi" can be
heard any time you meet her on the campus. She's never
too busy for a friendly word or a kind greeting. In case
you're wondering who she is, she's B. J. Schaufele, Inman's
house president.

B. J., in speaking of her funny
experiences says, "I've had so
many thousand, I can't think of
a single one right off hand. But
then there's the time when" as a
junior sponsor she had taken her
sponsorees to the tea at the Alum-
nae House. She completely forgot
everyone's name including her
sponsorees'. She "just simply had"
to make up names for everybody.
"And there was the other time
when" she was trying so hard to
be a good house president, and
somehow or other it just came out
that of course it would be per-

B. J. Schaufele presides at house
meetings in Inman Dormitory.
B. J. is a history major who's
one desire is to pass Dr. Posey's
diplomatic.

fectl^ all right for freshmen to
spend the night with their date at
Aunt Susie's house; just be sure
that Xunt Susie calls the dean's
office first.

B. J.'s freshman year she was
a member of Lower House and
Blackfriars. She switched the
lights for one play, and had to
spend the next two years telling
them she couldn't be in Black-
friars any more because her new
membership on Exec gave her too
many activity points. She served
on Exec her sophomore and junior
years, as student recorder her jun-
ior year. B. J. also plays hockey
and softball on her class team.

B. J. says she's one-fourth yan-
kee because she was born in Cin-
cinnati, but three-fourths south-
ern because she has southern par-
ents and southern sympathies. She
laughingly recalls her year spent
in Boyd Cottage as "one hilarious
year."

Right now B. J.'s ambition is to
get through Dr. Posey's diplomatic
history class and to graduate. She
is looking forward to practice
teaching next quarter. After
graduation B. J. plans either to
teach high school history or to
go to Assembly's Training School
for two years to get a masters in
DCE. If she chooses graduate
school, she plans to go on with her
Christian education work. What-
ever she does and wherever she
goes B. J.'s warm personality and
radiating good humor will make
her welcome.

Miscellaneous Madness Gives Musical Titles
Describing ASC Student's Midquarter Plights

Lucchese

This week we have in this column a collection of Miscel-
laneous Madness with no coherence whatsoever. We shall
begin with a brief section entitled "Say It with Music" and
dedicated to a familiar Agnes Scott phenomena. . . . the
Bad Week.

'HOLD MY HAND' I have two
quizzes and a paper tomorrow.

'COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS'
You could have three quizzes and
four papers in two days like I do.

'HEY THERE' Have you got the
notes for that Art lecture I cut?

'THE HIGH AND THE
MIGHTY' She's caught up on her
outside reading.

'I NEED YOU NOW That
Chemistry, major you shafted two
weeks ago.

'TEACH ME TONIGHT' You're
majoring in the stuff.

THE THINGS I DIDN'T DO'
Little incidentals like reading the
text.

MISTER SANDMAN' We're go-
ing to miss that boy around here.

'IF I GIVE MY HEART TO
YOU' Will you show me how to
trace the circulation.

'THE MAN THAT GOT AWAY'
That identification you blanked
on.

'SMILE' Things are going to
get a whole lot worse before they
get any better.

Now we shall shift to a discus-
sion of a recent pressing campus
problem. Have you noticed that
now a days when you come bound-
ing into the HUB all set for a
roaring game of serious bridge,
available thirds and fourths are

getting rarer and rarer?

You give the call to arms. . .
"FOURTH FOR BRIDGE" ... but
people who two weeks ago would
have abandoned even their cokes
to rally to your aid, now look up
and coldly inform you that they
are KNITTING.

Yes everybody is knitting, and if
you are one of the unfortunates
who doesn't know how. . . learn
quickly. In the near future there
will undoubtedly be another club
on campus. . . probably called
A.S.O.K. (Agnes Scott's Organiz-
ed Knitters). If you do not knit
you will never be able to last
through the try-outs which will
undoubtedly include tasks such as

1 Turning a heel while watching
the Perry Como Show.

2 Submitting an individual pro-
ject to the executive committee.
Examples. . . a cabled stitched
gym suit for campus approval;
argyl knee socks knitted entirely
in the dark during Mortar Board
movies; etc.

3 Expressing the personality of
one's beau by means of an original
sweater pattern. Examples: if the
young man is artistic, you could
copy two of Degas' dancers; one
for the front and one for the back.
This will take a bit of doing, but
use your own artistic ability and

do not spare the subtle shades. If
English is his field, try a little
Shakespeare. The second act of
Hamlet makes a lovely pattern
and may be continued on the back
if necessary. If your friend is
scientific, a novel) pattern would
be a discharging electrode done
in baby blue with the escaping
electrons offering a striking con-
trast in red angora. In any case,
knitting is essential nowadays.

Now in closing, a few bits of
advice. If you are feeling depress-
ed and want to be cheered to the
point of hysterical laughter, run
up to 324 Main and ask Ann All-
red if you can borrow 'The Terror
Of St. Trinian's'. It is undoubtedly
the world's funniest book.

If you are in the mood for sad,
lovely music, borrow a nickle,
toodle over to the grill, wait for
Hearts of Stone to finish playing,
then insert your nickle in the
jukebox, punch E 9, and lisiten
well. It's Cara Mia and it's
GEORGEOUS.

College Trustee Walters Dies;
Member of Board Many Years

Mrs. George C. Walters, the former Miss Frances Winship,
died last Sunday night, November 14. She has been a trustee
of Agnes Scott College since 1937.

Mrs. Walters' association with Agnes Scott began when, as
Mary Frances Winship, she attended Agnes Scott Institute
for three years. In 1920 she estab-

lished a scholarship in the name
of her late husband, George C.
Walters, with the sum of $1,000,
which was subsequently increased
to $5,000. Several girls have been
assisted with their education by
means of this fund.

In 1940 Mrs. Walters contribut-
ed $5,000 towards the alumnae
campaign to provide Hopkins Hall
as a memorial for the first dean
of the college, Miss Nanette Hop-
kins. At the same time she es-
tablished the Frances Winship
Walters Foundation with $50,000,
providing that the incomes be
used to help worthy girls. More
than 90 awards have already been
made.

In June, 1949, the Frances Win-
ship Walters infirmary was dedi-
cated. In daily use, the building
stands as a fitting reminder of the
valued and generous friend who
made it possible, Mrs. Frances
Winship Walters.

Agnes Scott has not been the
only beneficiary of Mrs. Walters'
kindness and generosity. She made
possible the building of the beau-
tiful chapel which is an adjunct
to her church, St. Mark's Metho-
dist, and completely air-condi-
tioned the church.

Dr. Alston has issued the fol-
lowing statement concerning her
death:

"Agnes Scott has lost a great
and good friend in the death of
Mrs. George C. Walters. Through
many years she has dreamed and
planned that Agnes Scott might
become a college for women that

would be the equal of any insti-
tution in the East or anywhere
else in America. Her vision and
generosity have been largely in-
strumental in motivating our de-
velopment program for the next
decade. As a member of the De-
velopment Committee of our Board
of Trustees, Mrs. Walters urged
us to think in bold terms of
strengthening the financial struc-
ture of Agnes Scott and of deepen-
ing the intellectual and spiritual
life here. The influence of Mrs.
Walters' life at Agnes Scott will
continue to be one of the strong-
est forces shaping and molding
this college."

Tech-Alabama Battle Prompts
After - Game Parties, Dances

Vivian Hays

There is no such thing as an off -week-end around this place, as
far as some people are concerned. For instance, about 50 people
went to the Alabama-Tech game Saturday afternoon. Seen in the
mob were: Betty Akerman, Nancy Burkett, Caroline Cutts, Jean
Gregory, Grace Chao, Helen Haynes, Jane Johnson, and Nancy
Jackson. Also around the Tech campus for the week-end were the
dates of the Sigma Chi's for their house party including: Jimsie
Oeland, Deene Spivey, Jo Sawyer, Betty Richardson, Louise Harley,
Jackie Murray, Carlanna Lindamood, and Claire Flintom. Claire was
named the new sponsor for the fraternity.

Off to Rutledge for the Emory Phi Delt house party were Dede
Farmer, Mary McCorkle, and Carol Pine. Jackie Johnson, Sissie
McSw-un, and Janie Marbut went to Snapfinger for the Delt party
thrown by the Tech boys. Sandra Thomas went to the KA house
after the game, in fact most of the frats had parties at the house
later.

Off to Auburn for a big time were Mary Frances Wilson, Nancy
Alexander, Sara Ann Burnett, and Marion McCall. Which reminds me,
we had a few school chums visiting from Alabama ourselves. M E.'s
Homer was here (he made it at last!) and in case any of you wonder-
ed who that cute boy was with Jo Ann Hall that was Pete! Betsy
Villas' Joe was also quite obvious. T

Now a few important announcements concerning those who are
engaged to be engaged. Carey Cansler has a Phi Delt pin: Ducky
Drake a Kappa Sig pin from Tech; anl Ila Jo Dorough a Pi KA pin
from Emory. And Cemile Miller has her Kappa Sig pin back again.
Off for something exciting were Nancy Clark and Martha Richardson
who went to Cornell to see some 'ole boys.

The Phi Chi's at Emory had a party too, but I have forgotten who
went so I leave you in suspense 'til next time.

'54 Hockey Finale Will Feature
Tribute to Champions, Varsity

Keo Keller

King hockey will officially abdicate his throne until 1955
with a mammoth celebration Friday afternoon. Highlighting
the celebration will be a Varsity day game, formal recogni-
tion of the seniors as '54 champs and announcement of the
varsity and sub-varsity squads.

Competition leading up to the

finale was fast and furious with
four games played last week-end.
Besides the regular class games,
there were also contests between
the freshmen and sophomore B-
teams and an outside game with
the University of Georgia.

In Friday's celebration, varsity
and sub-varsity candidates from
all classes will be divided into
two teams and will play a regula-
tion game. After the game, the
official teams will be announced.

Exhibiting unusual potency, the
Scotties trounced Georgia 7-0 last
Saturday on the A.S.C. field. Es-
pecially effective was the two-pla-
toon forward line used by the win-
ners.

The regular junior forward line
played the first half and account-
ed from four goals. Ann Welborn
led the scoring with two goals.
They were backed up by a back-
field combination fro mall four
classes.

A s e n i o r-sophomore-freshman
combination scored three goals in
the second half. Peggy Bridges,
Carolyn Wells and Helen Hendry
each scored once. Sparking the
defense were Julia Beeman and
Sheila MacConochie.

Last Friday, the juniors cap-
tured second place in the final
standings by trouncing the fresh-
men 4-2. In an exhibition game,
the champion seniors retained
their unscored-on record by turn-
ing back the sophomores 4-0.

fense to victory by scoring two
goals. The whole forward line
functioned especially well with the
other scoring divided between Ann
Welborn, Nancy Thomas and Sally
Wilt.

Sparking the frosh both offen-
sively and defensively was left
halfback Judy Nash who scored
one goal. She received good sup-
port from fullback Anna Avil and
inner Joan St. Clair who scored
the other goal.

Peggy Bridges and Molly Prich-
ard, each scoring two goals, spark-
ed the victorious seniors. The sen-
ior backfield, led by Sally Legg,
Mary Alice Kemp and B. J. Schau-
fele, functioned with its usual pre-
cision.

Class manager Helen Hendry
led the sophomore forward line in
its final game. Sheila MacConchie,
Fraser Steele and Helen Weller
were the soph backfield stalwarts.

Also to be awarded at the end of
the season is a sportsmanship
medal. This will be awarded to
the player who, in the opinion of
the members of all teams, best
exhibited the qualities of fan-
play and sportsmanship during the
regular season.

Sophomores Capture First Place
In Swimming, Archery Tourneys

Living up to their nickname, the
sophomores proved to be a "me-
nace" to the other classes by cap-
turing first place in the swimming
meet and archery tournament. The

both contests.

Repeating last year's victory,

tye Carmichael. Form swim win-
ners included; breast stroke soph-
omores (Joanne Smith T., Bettye

The sophs swept both team
races: Dee Walton, Carolyn Bark-

er and Doris Musgrave combined
to capture the medley relay while
Walton, Musgrave, Sheila Mac-
Conochie, and Carolyn Herman
captured the free style relay
event.

Top performers for each class
were: freshmen Pat Stewart,
Winkie Stockton; sophomores
Sheila MacConchie. Bettye Carmi-
chael, Doris Musgrave; juniors
Alice Ann Klostermeyer, Louise
Harley; and seniors Jane Gaines.

In capturing the archery title,
the mighty sophomores bested the
second place juniors by more than
200 points. In third place were the
freshmen with the seniors hold-
ing down last place.

High scorer for the tourney was
sophomore Sis Burns with a total
of 353. Another soph, Marian Hage-
dorn was second highest and

was held yesterday afternoon.
Winners in that tourney will also
add points toward the class ath-

endowment funds, and half be
held in trust by the executor
for the college to match dollar
for dollar. Also, among other be r
quests 'n the will, Mrs. Walters
left $50,000 for maintenance of
the infirmary she built for Agnes
Scott in 1949. Income from the
total estate will be used by the
college as needed.

Mrs. Walters graduated from
Agnes Scott and throughout her
life was active in the college's
affairs. She made generous finan-
cial contributions, including two
scholarship funds, an entrance
gateway, and the infirmary. At
the time of her death she was
Vice-Chairman of the college's
Board of Trustees on which she
had served, as an Alumna Trustee,
since 1937. She was a member of
the Development Committe of the
board and had recently been en-
gaged in urging plans for the next
decade to strengthen the financial
structure of the college and to
deepen its intellectual and spiri-
tual life. The Development Pro-
gram, to culminate in 1964, on the
75th anniversary of the college,
has a goal of $10,000,000. H^r im-
mediate project with the De-
velopment Committee was to find
means for building a new dormi-
tory.

Dr. Wallace M. Alston, presi-
dent of Agnes Scott, in announc-
ing terms of the will, said: "We
cannot be grateful enough for her.
This is by far the largest single
gift ever made to Agnes Scott.
Through many years she has
dreamed and planned that Agnes
Scott might become a college for
women that would be the equal
of any in America. Through the
sixty-five years of the college's
history, Mrs. Walters and many
other staunch friends have se-
cured an endowment of $3,025,000,
and have invested $4,375,000 in
buildings, ground and equipment.
Mrs. Walters' bequest launches
today the college's Develpomerit
Program for the next decade. The

Scott will continue to be one of
the strongest forces shaping and
molding this college."

Everyday Thanks

lay

Six chubby black and white beagle puppies tumbling and
struggling in a sunshiney pile of fallen leaves. . . We laugh
at them and we immediately love them. It is wonderful to
have eyes to see the fat little characters, hearts to love them,
a bright morning for watching them, and plenty of food to
keep them healthy. We should be thankful for little things all
the time, not just at Thanksgiving.

It is not necessary to tell anyone; little things can be en-
joyed secretly. But another kind of appreciation is useless if
kept locked tightly inside us. Our parents may never know
our gratefulness for years of school and steady guidance; our
teachers may never feel our appreciation for carefully graded
papers and "sparks" that illumine our minds; our friends
may never understand that we enjoy their daily company and
cheerfulness on dark days. Let us always show our thank-
fulness for big things. ES

Grease Paint, Nooses Furnish
Make- Up Room Conversation

LUCCHESE

Well, girls, the Sheltering Arms have recalled us all and
the Thanksgiving holidays are a hazy memory fast being
obscured by the looming disaster of exam week. So shall
we turn our thoughts backward to pleasanter things and
consider our recent dramatic production "The Skin of Our

Tppth" f

"Where do you think YOU'RE go-
ing? Your mouth's not finished."

And then somebody shouted
"On Stage" and Miss Miklas and
her able committee achieved some
measure of relaxation. Next time,
somebody would be wise to furnish
a tape recorder.

Also along these same dramatic
lines may I say orchids to Berta
Jackson and Julie Boland for
never were the roles of Dinasour
and Mammoth played with more
feeling and insight.

Also twenty-nine orchids to
Dorothy Weakley for typing this
article for a shook-up feature
writer.

If you saw it from the audience
you no doubt shared in the gen-
eral opinion that it was won-
derful all the way round. How-
ever, you most probably missed
the best part. By the "best part"
I mean the conversation in, around
and concerning the make-up room.

This is the scene of much panic
and confusion and many crises un-
der the capable direction of Miss
Joanne Miklas, makeup chairman.

The scene is set with Dr. Gar-
ner, Dr. Hayes, Mr. McDowell,
and Dr. Rob, Gracie Greer and
several " unidentified Emory gen-
tlemen. They are being "made
up" and Miss Miklas' able commit,
tee is flying hither and yon armed
with powder puffs, tubes of
grease paint and messages for
Miss Winter.

Conversation run thusly:
"Grade's too dark."

Gracie answers, "All I want
to look like is what I looked like
last night."

"We've got Mr. Antrobus' mus-
tache, Miss Winter, but nothing to
stick it on with."

"WHAT! no spirit gum?"

"Somebody tell me what do do
with DV. Garber's beard. We
haven't got anything to tie it on
with."

(Enter several more Emory
gentlemen fifteen minutes late).

"What I want to know is why
couldn't you people be on time?"

"We had a French lab."

"Hey Miklas! Found some surgi-
cal adhesive for Mr. Antrobus'
mustache."

"Burk, you're a jewel. Honey,
we'll blow 'em all out"!

"It's eight twenty-five and the
curtain's not ready to go up
WHERE ARE THE ACTORS ?"

"Miss Winter has them in the
basement."

"Don't put this stuff on too
dark. I have to get back to Em-
ory."

"Close your mouth. Do you want
powdered teeth?"

"Hey Miklas! Got Dr. Garber
fixed up. There was a noose in
Mr. McDowell's office.

"Honey, you know it."

University Gives Degree

est honor, the doctor of laws de-
gree, was conferred Nov. 15

dCetterd ^Jo ^Jlte Editor

Dear Editor:

In an accompanying article information is given on a cultural tour
now being sponsored throughout the United States by the, Israeli Stu-
dent Organization, an organization of Israeli students now in the Unit-
ed States, and the U. S. National Student Association, a conference of
more 1-ian 300 college and university student governments.

The general purpose of this tour is to increase student knowledge
of Israeli student life in the United States. Arranged entirely by
students, the tour features lectures, music, folk songs, and dancing.
They will be on the Agnes Scott campus on December 9.

Robert W. Beyers Director, Public Relations N. S. A.

Dear Editor:

In the last issue of the NEWS there was an article about the
coming mock security council meeting. Through a misunderstanding
it was reported that Mortar Board, with the help of other organiza-
tions, is sponsoring the meeting. The fact is that all of the larger
campus organizations are jointly sponsoring the project student gov-
ernment, Christian association, athletic association, and also Mortar
Board. It will take the co-operation and enthusiasm of everyone at
Agnes Scott to make this a success, and anyone who is interested will
have a chance to help. Mortar Board is just one of \Jne sponsoring
groups; we don't want to claim sponsorship that is only one-fourth
ours.

'Hillbilly Henegar' LikesPeople;
Knows Many Freshmen Tricks

ELEANOR SWAIN

Jane Henegar is an "honest-to-pete hillbilly from that place
where there are no trees." (Copperhill, Tennessee, where
fumes from copper refining kill off vegetation) Jane, a his-
tory and political science major, is the motherly house presi-
dent of Hopkins.

Tops on the list of Jane's likes
are "people (especially fresh-
men)" which certainly qualifies
her for her job. But watch out
Hopkins girls, your quiet presi-
dent is up on all your tricks, for
her freshman year she kept "a
darling stray pup" in her room in
Inman until Shep discovered dog
hairs in the bathtub. Among her
other likes Miss Vinegar (a high
school nickname undoubtedly a
corruption of Jane's last name)
lists Georgia Tech, western mo-
vies, Pogo, Stan Kenton and cook-
ing.

Since her arrival at Agnes Scott
Jane has truly been a backbone
member of the community. She
has been a staunch worker in
Blackfriars, Glee Club, and C. A.,
which she served as a Cabinet
member her junior year and la-
ter as a member of the Council.
She was active in such projects as
Central Presbyterian Day Camp
and a Sunday School nursery
class. This helpful senior has al-
so made contribution's as vice-pres-
ident of the class her junior year,
a member of Lower House her
sophomore year, and as student
aid telephone operator-dining hall
hostess.

"Chemistry 101 lab was my
biggest achievement . at Agnes
Scott," says Jane. "And her big-
gest "feaux pas" (she can't spell
it and neither can I) was being
the first person this year in Hop-

Jane Henegar, house president
of Hopkins Dormitory, plans
to be a 'school marm\

kins to get campused.

Like so many of us Jane came
to Agnes Scott intending to stay
two years, felt at home here, and
stayed. From here, after gradu-
ation, Miss Vinegar intends to be-
come a "schoolmarm" and is ser-
iously, considering some far away
place such as California for prov-
ing her talents. Though she "will
never be more absentminded than
Peggy Bridges," Jane hopes to
overcome this, her worst fault, in
time to avoid being called "ab-
sentminded professor."

Pins, Rings Climax Gay Whirl
Of Pre-Thanksgiving Activities

By JUDY BROWN

Cranberry sauce, turkey, dressing. . . and many, many Scotties home
for Thanksgiving. The holidays proved especially eventful for Helen
Weller who received a Phi Kappa Sigma pin from a Techster, Barbara
McDowell who was pinned by a Tech Sigma Nu, and Louise Almand
who is now sporting a Kappa Sig pin Tech variety. Later pinnees
include Ava Caldwell to a Tech KA, Lib Geiger to an Emory Sigma Nu.
and Rookie Smith a Pi Ka pin. Marilyn McClure has a bright new ring
on the left hand.

For a minute tho' let's delve into "ancient history", that is, happen-
ings of the week-end before Thanksgiving.

That Thursday night Sarah Hall, Patti Mayton, and Katie Blondeau
listened to the modern music of Mister Stan Kenton.

Friday night, of course, was "Skin of our Teeth" with all the
thespnins having a big and gay cats party backstage after the play.

Ovor at Emory, the same night, the big event was the Military
Ball. Joanne Miklas, dating the Cadet Colonel, was first in the leadout
a dozen yellow roses et all. Martha Richardson, Nancy Burkit, and
Hobby Mills were also at the Ball.

Sunday night at Emory there was a law fraternity banquet which
Louisa Allen enjoyed.

Cotillion Club had a "Blue Moon" dance Saturday night for the
freshmen. Ye Ole Rebekah was really rocking to the tune of the
combo and the many dancing feet.

Tho same night Anne Bullard, Claire Flintom, and Mary McLanahan
went to the Tech Sig's French Party.

Rylrind Swain and Louise Harley rolled over to Auburn to help those
Tigers observe Homecoming.

'Tis all 4:he "sassiety" for now since the paper does not come out
again for a long time Merry Christmas!

Frost Returns To Campus
For Lectures, Conferences

Dorothy Rearick

Robert Frost, internationally known poet and author, returns to the Agnes Scott cam-
pus the end of this month for his annual visit. The guest of President and Mrs. Alston from
January 25-29, Mr. Frost will address several groups while here and attend a number of
affairs planned in his honor. Highlight of his stay will be the public lecture presented in
Gaines Chapel, Wednesday evening, January 26, at 8:30 p. m. The college community
and public are cordially invited

There will be no admission charge.

Having first visited Agnes Scott
to speak on November 7, 1935, Mr.
Frost returned again as a lecturer
on May 16, 1940. Since January,
1945, he has been with us each
year. This month will mark his
thirteenth visit to the college.

In May of this year, Mr. Frost
was one of twenty-five authors
honored as literary figures whose
work was judge'd "most likely to
endure as the classics of our
time." He was presented with a
silver medal at the 25th anniver-
sary dinner of the Limited Edi-
tions Club. On his eightieth birth-
day (March 26, 1954), he was hon-
ored at a dinner in New York City
given by Henry Holt & Company,
his American publishers.

During the month of August,
Mr. Frost visited Brazil as a dele-
gate from the United States to an
international writers' congress.
This event was held in connection
with Sao Paulo's fourth centen-
nial celebration.

Mr. Frost received the 1954
Theodore Roosevelt award, given
by the Theodore Roosevelt Asso-
tion, at their annual dinner on
October 27, 1954. In November, he
received the Doctor of Laws de-
gree from the University of Cin-
cinnati when he was there lectur-
ing under the auspices of its Geor-
gia Elliston Poetry Foundation.

The degree was conferred in re-
cognition of the poet's long lead-
ership in the field of American
literature.

Poet Robert Frost will visit
our campus next week

Once again returning to the Ag-
nes Scott campus, Mr. Frost will
receive, as always, a warm wel-
come from the college communi-
ty. Thursday afternoon, January
27, he will speak to all freshmen,
members of writing clubs, and
American literature classes. His
topic will be "Rhythm and Meter."

Those wishing to hear Mr. Frost
at this time should be present
promptly at 5:00 p. m. in the lower
dining hall.

On Friday, and again on Satur-
day, at one o'clock, Mr. Frost will

have lunch in the President's
dining room with the English fac-
ulty, Lecture Committee, and Eng-
lish majors doing independent
study.

Presently on display in the li-
brary are a number of Robert
Frost's books, including editions
in German and Spanish. Several
of his original Christmas cards
and manuscripts are also being
shown.

Frost will autograph copies of
his works for students and facul-
ty members if these books are
left in the library before Wednes-
day, January 26. Several editions
are on sale in the library. How-
ever, pocket editions will not be
autographed.

A large crowd is expected for
Mr. Frost's lecture Thursday even-
ing at 8:30 in Gaines Chapel. The
college community is host to the
public, and seats will be limited.
Therefore, those planning to hear
the lecture are urged to be prompt
and not to attempt to reserve
spaces. \

most negative 'and affirmative wins
and trophies were also given to the
winning negative and affirmative
team. The overall winner of the
tourney was Tennessee Tech and
the affirmative winner was Flori-
da State University, and Howard

the second and third place af-
firmative and negative teams.
They were: second negative, Ten-
nessee Tech; second affirmative,
University of South Carolina;
third negative, Auburn; and third
affirmative, Tennessee Tech. The
tournament stressed team debat-
ing and no individual awards were
made.

teams and members of the Agnes
Scott faculty served as judges for
the debates. Mrs. Preston Mac-
intosh of Decatur, who was one of
the co-founders of the tournament

ager, and all of Pi Alpha Phi ap-
preciate the co-operation they re-
ceived from all of the timekeepers,
judges, and other people of the
campus community who helped
during the tournament.

Feb. 3-4, and to the Azalea Tour-
nament in Mobile Feb. 23-24.

The Silent Killer

During the weeks of January 3-31, dimes fromlilover^he
nation will march their ,way into cardboard banks, folders,
and collectors. These dimes are very special ones, for ma-
terial, wisdom, and time obtained with their monetary value
will be united to study and fight one of the most dread dis-
eases of modern times polio.

Polio is a strange and mysterious killer. It strikes without
apparent discrimination; it may carry away John Doe, of
whom you know nothing or it may pick you.

Recent investigation has brought forth the discovery of
gamma globulin as a possible answer to the age old riddle of
polio prevention. However, this preventive is quite new, and
infinite tests must be and are being carried out to determine
its worth. The price of laboratory investigations, in addition to
the cost of gamma globulin itself and the production thereof,
is enormous. More th^n ever there is a need for the trek of
currency to reach mammoth proportions.

The basic scientific evidence established in 1951 and 1952
field trails that gamma globulin can prevent paralytic polio
has recently been not only reaffirmed but strengthened.
However this prevention is only a temporary one, and gamma
globulin does not provide the permanent immunity which is
the ultimate end of any preventive research.

For the sake of the thousands of human beings who will be
chosen by the crippling, life-destroying menace of infantile
paralysis during the coming years, send your dimes tramping
on this march of mercy for the sake of others and for your
sake too.

It is quite probable that the life you save may be your
own. CW

Award

The "News" wishes to award a gold encrusted and bejewel-
ed medal bearing the words, "I am a good sport." to Dr. Wal-
ter. B. Posey of the Agnes Scott faculty. The imaginary medal
is presented only occasionally for action completely above
and beyond the call of duty in service of the campus. It is
sincerely felt that in this instance the recipient is most de-
serving of the recognition.

Seriously we wish to thank Dr. Posey and all our faculty
members for their spontaneous sportsmanship and coopera-
tion on Suppressed Desires Day. Such relief of our frustra-
tions and such fun would never have been possible without
faculty participation. ES

Chef Offers Breakfast Menus
To Aid Winter Quarter Slump

LUCCHESE

Now is the time for all good Agnes Scotties to come to the aid of
themselves, and make advance plans for avoiding that Winter Quarter
slump. Let us remember that is is how we start the day that counts,
and as we ponder this thought, let us consider BREAKFASTS.

It is not obligatory that you eat in the dining hall. There are many
delightful menus that you may add 1587 grains of Bordon's In
prepare for your entire hall or
cottage with a minimum of in-
convenience. Let me give you an
example. First of all, get your-
self in the proper frame of mind.
Set your alarm for six a. m., arise
as soon as it goes off, pop into a
cold shower, don your daintiest
skirt and a freshly laundered Ag-
nes Scott shirt, and prepare. . .

WINDOW PANE TOAST . . .
for each guest, take two slices of
bread, take off all signs of crusts,
and pinch a hole in the middle of
each slice. Then take Scotch tape,
and cover the hole. Gently insert
a nail file into each piece and toast
over a hot plate. Pitch the crusts
out the window for the squirrels,
then prepare. . .

EGGS PECULIARE. . . For
each serving, take two eggs, sepa-
rate the whites from the yolks,
then slowly beat them together
adding one eighth of a soda crack-
er every three minutes for eigh-
teen minutes. Sprinkle liberally
with cocoanut and let simmer
gently while you whip up . . .

COFFEE A LA MEXICAN . . .
take one cup of boiling water, and

stant coffee alternately with 35
medium sized Fritos (from Snack
Bar). Any calculus you might have
had will come in handy here.

By now, the seven thirty bell
will have rung, but DO NOT
PANIC or you will get circles un-
der your eyes and nothing is less
becoming to a hostess. Gently
awaken your roommate, and while
she dresses, prepare your chef
d'ouevre. . .

NUT ROLL A LA CASSEROLE
. . . for each serving, take a small
jelly roll, unroll it, and remove
jelly. Then crack twelve black
walnuts, keeping halves whole.
Dip each half lightly in a 50 c /c
solution of cornstarch, place them
in a geometric pattern on the un-
joined roll, and roll it up again.
Sprinkle the top generously with
Roquefort cheese and brown to a
crispy, fragrant blob.

By now your guests are probably
arriving and you are ready to
serve. Your roommate is probably
in the Dean's Office arranging a
quick switch to a single, but re-
member that not everyone has
your flare for gracious living.

Our mischievous imp can often

boy in French department plays

ELEANOR SWAIN

The elves of ancient fairy tales are thought by most people
to be extinct today, but those who are truly observant will
note that we are fortunate in having on our campus one of the
few surviving examples of this elusive species. Anyone who
looks with imagination under every black sailor blouse and
in every pair of white bucks will on class hockey and Softball teams

during these four years take it as
a matter of course. Neither were
they surprised at her election to
the hockey varsity four times and
to the Softball varsity in her jun-
ior year.

Academically our "Silhouette"
editor is also proficient. She at-
tained the honor roll her sopho-
more and junior years and this
year is doing independent study
in her major, French. Her inter-
ests extend to other subjects too,
and she says, "In organic chemis-
try classes this year there are
three chemistry majors, three bio-
logy majors and me."

Julia, whose hobby is being very
pessimistic about Atlanta weather,
("I have worn out four umbrellas
in three and a half years here"),
plans, after graduation, to go over-
seas and combine a career in gov-
ernment diplomatic service with
graduate study. Here's hoping the
European elves have large and
sturdy umbrellas.

ASC Classes Win
Grady Tree Prizes

In spite of tired brains (exam-
itis) and the last minute rush that
comes just before Christmas, the
Agnes Scott spirit still persisted
as girls from- the Atlanta area
put their all into making decora-
tions for the Grady Hospital
Christmas trees. Decoration of the
trees is an annual project parti-
cipated in by colleges in the At-
lanta area, with prizes being given
to the best and most original deco-
rations.

The trees were judged this year
by a group of registered judges
of local flower shows. In this com-
petition Agnes Scott managed to
claim both second and third prizes
by the freshmen and sophomores
respectively, with first place going
to Oglethorpe. But besides trie hon-
or which came to us as a result of
this successful project, we gained
also the greater satisfaction of
knowing that we made Christmas
a little brighter for those in
Grady's wards.

. . . Carolyn Wells

In the January 6 edition of the
Emory "Wheel", editor T. Elkin
Taylor treated a question which
will be of interest to our student
body. Regarding the popularity of
America abroad, he wrote:

"Why is America becoming less
popular in Asia and Europe?

"That is the question which Ame
ricans are most likely to ask to-
day regarding our foreign policy.

"The answer, according to Ches-
ter Bowles, former ambassador to
India who spoke at Emory recent-
ly, goes much deeper than the out-
ward actions or even the basic
policies of our foreign diplomacy.
One must fluoroscope the founda-
tions of America, checking the at-
titude of the people themselves
toward the world and even domes-
tic problems. As many foreign ob-
servers see it, the underlying mo-
tive for much of America's action
seems to be fear a strong con-
trast to the faith which is the
historical heritage of America.

"Many Asian and European
observers see not only in Amer-
ica's search for Communism but
also in her popular intolerance
of ideas not in vogue a lack of
faith in the strength of our own
democratic system. "If the dem-
ocratic system- is so good, then
why don't the Americans empha-
size the good points of their own
system of government and forget
her all-pe rvading fear of Com-
munism?" they ask.

"American foreign policy today
is struggling to fulfill this coun-
try's obligations of cooperation
with the other governments and
peoples of the world in preserv-
ing peace, but there are minori-
ties in the United States who
make it obvious that this nation
does not stand unified in its efforts
to avoid war through peaceful
appraisal of the problem.

"Some time ago I wrote a letter
to the editors of the Journal-Con-
stitution complaining of an anti-
United Nations editorial in t h e
state-wide Georgia Farmers'
Market Bulletin which is edited
by Tom Linder, a defeated candi-
date for governor in the Septem-
ber primary.

"In answer to my rather strongly
worded protest, I received some
interesting replies from other
readers, including a raft of litera-r
ture of the fascist Ku Klux Klan
ilk. "White Gentile, awaken!" it
cried. "Up with our old flag! Down
with the Jevv-N rag!"

"All this has a familiar ring
which 7 sounds more than faintly
like Hitler's cry of the master
race. But what about such "sound
and sane Americanism" which
publications like this purport to
advance ? I am confident that this
is minority sentiment, but it is
propaganda such as this and more
popular currents of fear such as
McCarthyism which gives to the
European or Asian doubts of the

two other poems accepted, for
publication in the near future.
"Therese of Terrebonne," a bal-

CAPTAIN KID STUFF

(OR... JOHN'S MISTAKE)

John was growing up. (He shaved. He drove a
car. He wanted to impress girls.)
But John was impatient. He wanted to be more
grown-up. He wanted a grown-up reputation.
In short, he wanted to make a name for himself.
That's natural. Most young men

his age feel the same way.
But John made a mistake. He expressed his impatience
and his ambition behind the wheel of a car.

He became another "highway cowboy."

He purposely drove fast . . . didn't use chains
on snow or ice . . . skidded . . . took chances
. . . raced on crowded streets.
He thought this would make him seem more

grown-up. But the gang could see through his antic:;.
They gave him a name all right "Captain Kid Stuff."
They were smart enough to know that

Careless Driving is Kid Stuff.

THE SIX RULES OF WINTER DRIVING

1. ACCEPT YOUR RESPONSIBILITY

to do all in your power to drive without
accident. Don't blame the weatherman for
an accident.

2. GET THE "FEEL" OF THE ROAD.

Try brakes occasionally while driving
slowly and away from traffic. Find out just
how slippery the road is and adjust your
speed to road and weather conditions.

3. KEEP THE WINDSHIELD CLEAR

of snow and ice. fog and frost. Be sure
headlights, windshield wiper blades and
defrosters are in top condition.

4. USE TIRE CHAINS AND GOOD TIRES.

Don't rely on worn smooth tires. Use tire

chains on snow and ice. They cut stopping
distances about half, give 4 to 7 times more
starting and climbing traction ability.

But even with the help of chains, slower
than normal speeds are a "must" on snow
and ice.

5. PUMP YOUR BRAKES

to slow down or stop. Jamming them on
can lock the wheels and throw you into
a dangerous skid. A little skidding can
carry you a long way.

6. FOLLOW AT A SAFE DISTANCE.

Keep well back of the vehicle ahead give
yourself room to stop. Remember, without
tire chains, it takes 3 to 12 times as far to
stop on snow and ice a~ on dry concrete.

part of the school. Its athletic program is the third part of

the Agnes Scott ideal. Everyone in the school at some time

or other has a vital interest in the events occurring at the

gym either the classes, the extracurricular sports, or the

special activities. But the people . 4 _

on time.

Besides their regular duties,
both have numerous special jobs.
They are always on hand for any-
thing that needs to be done. Doro-
thy is always at the swimming
meets and water shows "just dish-
ing out bathing suits, towels, and

presses and sometimes helps sew
May Day costumes; she also
presses costumes for the dance
group and any pageants that are
presented in the gym; and when
the movie was being made, she
pressed clothes for the movie

sell refreshments at Junior Jaunt.

Dorothy has a son twenty-one
years old who will finish Clark

month. He has just won an $1800
scholarship to Tuskegee Institute
and will begin there next month.
Arthur has five living children,

grandchild.

who keep the gym running smooth-
ly deserve great credit for doing
a service for us which we are
usually little aware of.

Dorothy Bailey and Arthur
Houseworth are the workers at
the gym who have long remained
loyal to their work and to the
school. This is Dorothy's twenty-
first year of service, and Arthur
has been working with her at the
gym for twelve years. Dorothy
has the distinction of never hav-
ing been sick for two consecu-
tive days.

Dorothy's regular duties include
keeping the gym clean " from the
AA room on the second floor to
the swimming pool area," although
Arthur sees to keeping the bas-
ketball court clean. Dorothy sees
that each class has its gym suits,
bathing suits, tennis suits, or
whatever it needs on time. Each
basket must have the proper
clothes in the proper sizes, and
Dbrothy almost never makes a
mistake.

Arthur, besides cleaning up-
stairs, takes and brings the laun-
dry, keeps the lines on the hockey
field, keeps the tennis courts
swept, and looks after the nets on
both tennis and badminton courts.
With both their efforts, the re-
sult is a smooth working athletic
program at the gym. They do their
work so efficiently and well that
their work is never ostentatious;
everything just seems to be done,

Language Teachers
Attend Conference

The Sixty-Ninth Annual Con-
vention of the Modern Language
association was held December 27-
29 at the Hotel Statler in New
York.

Members of the association from
all parts of the United States and
many European countries attended
the convention. Members of the
Agnes Scott faculty who partici-
pated in the meeting were Miss
Emma May Laney, professor of
English, Miss Lois Barr, assistant
professor of English, and Miss
Muriel Ham, professor of Ger-
man and Spanish.

An elaborate program was pre-
sented at the convention. Groups
under moderators met to discuss
certain fields, including compara-
tive literature, Slavic language,
romance language, dramatic lan-
guage, and literature. Affiliated
language groups met at the same
time.

An outstanding feature of the
convention was an excellent dis-
play of books, representing differ-
ent languages and literature.

sincerity of America's offers of
help and friendship.

"Mr. Bowles admitted that there
are and have been a number of
flies in the ointment of aid to
other nations particularly eco-
nomic aid. He cited several ex-
amples of waste in such govern-
ment programs. More careful su-
pervision of aid such as the Point-
Four program would clear up
many problems. But the real prob-
lem is as basic as the American
people themselves."

Students Advise Cleanliness,
New Cards To Improve Hub

DORIS MUSGRAVE

Poll question: What general improvements, if any, do you
think need to be made in the Hub?

Carolyn Herman: "I don't like playing bridge with cards
with horses, dogs, and mountain scenes all in one deck. In
other words, we need new decks of cards that are to be kept
uniform".

M. E. Knight: "I don't like to
get my feet wet wading through
the coca cola spilled all over the
floor."

Jane Johnson: "Let's have some
kitchen equipment such as cake
pans, mixing bowls, et cetera. For
convenience would it be possible to
keep the key to the equipment
closet in the Hub?

Connie Curry: "Everyone put
their coca cola bottles back in the
crates."

JoAnn Hall: "Use ash trays to
put cigarettes out instead of the
floor."

Mary Alice Kemp: "The Hub is
an asset not as many people take
advantage of it as should. I think
the general improvement should
be the attendance'.'

Margaret Williamson: "The
greatest need in the Hub is to
keep it clean."

JoAnn Miklas: "If the students
would treat it more like home
stop throwing ashes and butts on
the floor, put coke bottles away,
straighten up the cards after
playing, and sit on 4 legs of a
chair."

Susan Coltrane: "I think wc
need more cooperation in keep-
ing it clean. I wish we could keep
a complete deck of cards."

ter: "It needs to be decorated in
a more student-like fashion as
pictures by students. Students
should realize their responsibility
for keeping the Hub clean for
visitors."

Hannah Jackson: "Have better
and larger snack bar to be open
full time and have hamburgers and
other food of this type."

Trudy Awbrey: "More comfort-
able furniture for the downstairs."

Jo Sawyer: "I think it needs to
have a more homey atmosphere."

Pat McGee: "It can't be said too
much that we need a cigarette
machine. We also need some lights
for the tables."

Ann Gilbert: "Wo would like an
inexhaustable supply of cards.

Gloria Gaffney: "I wish we could
have a cookie machine, that's no
joke!"

Jamie McKoy: "I think the main
things is for the student to ALL
keep it clean. Other than that I
think it's a wonderful place to
get together."

Lib Geiger: "I'd like to see the
Hub have a victrola and records."

Kit Crosby: "We need some kind
of fund for buying cards and bet-
ter looking card tables, plus an
active committee to attend to such
needs."

Helene Lee and Billie Reiney:
"We feel that it would be more
convenient to have cigarette ma-
chines in the Hub."

Sarah Higgins: "Music for the
piano that would stay in the Hub
permanently is a real need."

Debaters Reveal Impressions
Of Suppressed Desire Antics

BY DOROTHY WEAKLEY

Participants in the All-Southern Debate tournament arrived
on the Agnes Scott campus on Suppressed Desires Day. The
opinions and impressions the visiting debaters and their
coaches had of Suppressed Desires Day were revealed in a
poll taken among some of them. None of the schools repre-
sented have such a day. Here are

a few of the unsuppressed opin-
ions and impressions.

Fred Roberts: (Florida State
University) "I think it's a very
good thing. I wish FSU had it."

Malcolm Williamson: (David-
son) "I wish they would continue
to suppress desires and express
other desires."

(Auburn) "It's a
You should have

John Cooper:
very good idea,
it more often."

Margaret Malloy (FSU) "I was
shocked at first to see the girls
going around like they were, but
I think it's an excellent idea."

Edwin Folk (Coach, Georgia
Tech) : "I thought it was the most
hopeful sign I had seen at Agnes
Scott in 50 years. I didn't recog-
nize it."

Ted Reid (Davidson): "It's a
good idea, but you didn't have real
freedom of desires."

Ina Claire Guerry (University
of South Carolina) : "It offers a
diversion and is a real cute idea."

M. G. Christopherson (Coach,
USC): "I thought it was lovely.
It's the way I like to see girls
when I don't expect to see them."

John Trask (Davidson): "It's a
good idea. We don't have anything
like it at Davidson. We're just un-
suppressed at all time."

Paul Rilling (Coach, Emory) :
"I think it is terrific. I only regret
I couldn't unload a few on the
campus."

Clark Robinson: (West Georgia)
"There should be more of them."

Billy Boyd (Georgia Tech): "I
was shocked at the girls at Agnes
Scott."

Dave Satoff (Emory) : "I don't
approve of screaming in the lib-
rary because people are trying to
study, and I don't approve of call-
ing the faculty by their first
name when they have worked hard
to get a Ph.D. I approve heartily
of wearing Bermuda shorts at all
times since this is a rule and not
an exception in the eastern
schools."

Scouts Plan Outing
For Troop Leaders

The Girl Scout Training pro-
gram of Agnes Scott prepares
girls to be troop leaders, assistant
leaders, and program consultants.
They have had about 5 meetings
during this school year thus far
in which troop planning, games,
and leadership were discussed. The
program is under the direction
of Susan Daughtry, an alumna
of Agnes Scott, who is associated
with the Atlanta headquarters of
the Girl Scouts.

A cook-out is being planned on
February 5th to which all Agnes
Scott girls interested in scouting
are invited. The group will leave
after classes and will be back by
5 o'clock. Those interested are
invited to see Sally Wilt who is
chairman of the Girl Scout activi-
ty group of Christian Association.

The 43 Agnes Scott girls Who
have taken advantage of the train-
ing program have been active in
the scout troops of DkKalb Coun-
ty and Atlanta. All girls interested
in scouting are urged to see Sally
Wilt for further information.

of new organ music since the gol-
den age of Bach and Handel, is

sicians of the day.

Born in England, E. Power

VIVIAN HAYS

From the looks of the sign-out box, our campus was so busy this
week-end that no other schools planned anything much. Then too, I
guess lots of gals are resting up for Junior Jaunt next Saturday. I
did hear that the Phi Delts at Emory had a pajama party Friday
night and invited Harriet Hampton and Louise Robinson.

During the week, Frazer Steele received her engagement ring and is
planning a summer wedding. Several fiances are here those belong-
ing to Letty Grafton, Margie Vann, and Suzanna Byrd. Incidentally,
Margie acquired her ring over the holidays. Others seen sporting
sparklers since Christmas are Ann Allred, Carolyn Crawford, Magaret
Burwell, and Hannah Jackson. Please don't feel left out if your name
is not among this list of honored, because either it is a mistake on my
part or maybe one on your part.

Five of the Cunningham cuties went to Dalton to visit Jamie and
Trudy and the AA Convention in Athens drew a large crowd of our
more athletic girls.

One of the most unusual things seen in a long time was the party
given Friday night in Murphy Candler for the debaters. The remains
of Suppressed Desires sat around in jeans or Bermuda shorts acting
crazy while the gracious hostesses from ASC served punch or danced
with the boy debaters from afar. Quite a contrast, huh! Anyway they
have a good picture of both sides of life at Agony Spot.

Girls, lets get on the ball or get it rolling anyway. Next week-end
is big!!! We don't want the Dean's office unhappy because of lack of
work, do we? I hate to threaten you, but if you don't start doing some-
thing exciting this column is going to fold up and then I will be out
of work and what's worse I'll never know what goes on.

KEO KELLER

The '55 basketball curtain raised with a swish last Friday
as the sophomore A's scored a spine-tingling 40-39 victory
over the senior A's while the junior B's trounced the frosh
B's 21-16. The opening games also marked the beginning of
the two-team system.

In the soph-senior contest, both
teams displayed unusual precision
for early season action. The of-
fensive units worked especially
effective plays and maneuvers
throughout the game.

Trailing 21-12 at halftime, the
sophomores rallied in the second
half to pull the game out of the
fire. Led by Doris Musgrave, who
scored all of her 16 points in the
last half, the sophs went ahead
for the first time with less than
a minute left in the game.

Following Doris in the scoring
column were Margie D'eFord with
11 points and Carolyn 'Herman
whose 9 markers came mostly on
long setshots. Sparking the soph
defense were Mary Evans Bristow
and Jeanine Frapart.

Balanced scoring featured the
senior offense. Mary Alice Kemp
led the seniors with 16 points, fol-
lowed closely by M. E. Knight who
bucketed 15. Carolyn Wells was
a standout on the defense which
was especially effective in the first
half.

In the B contest, Alice Ann
Klostermeyer and Ann Welborn
led the victorious juniors with
11 and 10 points respectively. Hold
ing an 11-7 halftime lead, the de-
fensive unit, led by Joanne Miklas

Professor Attends
Scientific Meetings

December 28, 29, 30 of the past
year, Dr. Josephine Bridgman,
professor of biology, attended the
annual meeting of the American
Society of Zoologists in Chapel
Hill, North Carolina. The purpose
of this meeting was to present a
series of reports on zoological re-
search in progress, including pa-
pers on embryology, physiology
and protozoology. Those present,
representatives from American col-
leges and universities all over the
United States, were guests of the
University of North Carolina dur-
ing their stay.

Miss Bridgman has hopes that
this society will meet with the
American association for Ad-
vancement of Science which is
scheduled to hold its meeting for
1955 in Atlanta.

Three Teams Use One Court
In Suppressed Desire Game

Suppressed desires reached even
the basketball court as A. A. spon-
sored combined pep rally-bas-
ketball ( ? ) games last Thursday
in the gym. The free-for-all con-
test featured Suppressed Desire
teams captained by Penny Smith
and Pat Blackwood.

Pat Blackwood's team captured
a close 8-6 victory despite a secret
weapon employed by Penny's team.
This "weapon" was Sissie Mc-
Swain who stood in the balcony,
caught high passes, and dropped
them through the basket.

Toward the end of the contest,
Louise Robinson, who had arriv-
ed too late to join one of the "of-
ficial" teams, started her own
game. The result was a mass con-
fusion of balls, people and striped
referees (Lou Hill and Sarah Tuc-
ker).

al lines. Consequently, this year's
selections for programs have been
chosen as a result of student re-
quests from this campus. All three
of the teas will be informal dis-
cussions of career opportunities
which will be open, to graduates
with a Liberal Arts degree. The
participants and leaders of the
programs will be Atlantans who
are outstanding in their particu-
lar fields.

"Job Interviews and Oppor-
tunities in 1955" is the topic for
the first tea on February 2, un-
der the leadership of Miss Mary
Madison Wisdom. The speakers
consist of Miss Jackie Stewart,
who is associated with Davison's
training department, Mrs. Chris-
tine Felts of the Consulting Psy-
chologists, Incorporated, and Mr.
B. W. Cardwell, vice-president in
charge of personnel at the Citizens
and Southern National Bank.

The second discussion on Thurs-
day, February 3, will be entitled
"Careers in the Fields of Radio,
Television, and Drama" and prom-
ises to be extremely interesting.
Mrs. Christian, a member of the
Atlanta Journal staff will be
moderator. Miss Dean Dickins, Di-
rector of Women's Programs for
WGST, Miss Anne Nelson, a grad-
uate of OBrenau College and vice-
president of the Atlanta Theatre
Guild and a staff member of

WSB-TV will be cast with Miss
Callie Huger, a Wesleyan grad-
uate and production assistant at
WSB-TV to the evening's slate
of speakers.

The third, and final tea will be
held on Tuesday evening, Feb-
ruary 8. Miss Lorton Lee, Direc-
tor of Membership and Publicity
for the Atlanta Y.M.C.A. will pre-
side over this program. The speak-
ers are Miss Kitty Johnson, head
of the Order Department at the
Atlanta Public Library, Mrs. Bet-
ty Cobb Boyd (Mrs. James), '33,
a former member of Regenstein's
advertising department, and Mrs.
Sally Pfeiffer (Mrs. John), mother
of our own Peggy and a free-lance
writer.

The career teas have been de-
signed with the seniors and sop-
homores particularly in mind, but
all the students are cordially in-
vited to attend any, or all of the
programs. Miss Ann Johnson ex-
tends a special invitation to the
sophomores to avail themselves of
these wonderful insights into var-
ious vocations, since they will be
choosing their majors during
Spring quarter.

The Vocational Guidance Com-
mittee is in charge of convocation
Wednesday, February 2. Dr. Eddie
Neely Anderson, introduced by
Mrs. E. A. Verdery, '46, will be
the guest speaker at that time. Dr.

gist and counselor in family rela-
tions, besides being both a mother

Latin American Art
In Current Exhibit

The Art Department announces
an exhibition of Latin American
prints from the collection of the
International Business .Machine
corporation. It will extend from
Jan. 24 through Feb. 18.

The exhibition consists of 38
prints, lithographs, etchings, wood
engravings, and wood-cuts by well
known artists from 16 countries
of Central and South America,
providing an interesting cross sec-
tion of native life in our neighbor-
ing republics. The presence of a
figure in almost every print re-
flects the interest of the Latin
American artist in people. Indians,
burros, peasants, peddlers, artists,
harvest groups, and dance themes
are used for subject matter in
many of these fine prints.

Campus Welcomes Famous Poet
For Annual Agnes Scott Lecture

Robert Frost, internationally known poet and author, re-
turns to the Agnes Scott campus this week for
his annual visit. The guest of President and Mrs. Alston from
January 25-29, Mr. Frost will address several groups while
here and attend a number of affairs planned in his honor.
Highlights of his stay will be
public lecture presented in Gaines
Chapel, Wednesday evening, Jan-
uary 26, at 8:30 p. m. The col-
lege community and public are
cordially invited. There will be no
admission charge.

Having first visited Agnes Scott
to speak on November 7, 1935, Mr.
Frost returned again as a lecturer
on May 16, 1940. Since January,
1945, he has been with us each
year. This month will mark his
thirteenth visit to the college.

In May of this year, Mr. Frost
was one of twenty-five authors
honored as literary figures whose
work was judged "most likely to
endure as the classics of our
time." He was presented with a
silver medal at the 25th anniver-
sary dinner of the Limited Edi-
tions Club. On his eightieth birth-
day (March 26, 1954), he was hon-
ored at a dinner in New York City
given by Henry Holt & Company,
his American publishers.

During the month of August,
Mr .Frost visited Brazil as a dele-
gate from the United States to an
international writers' congress.
This event was held in connection
with Sao Paulo's fourth centen-
nial celebration.

Mr. Frost received the 1954
Theodore Roosevelt award, given
by the Theodore Roosevelt Asso-
ciation at their annual dinner on
October 27, 1954. In November, he
received the Doctor ol Laws de-
gree from the University of Cin~
cinnati when he was there lectur-
ing under the auspices of its Geor-
gia Elliston Poetry Foundation.

The degree was conferred in re-
cognition of the poet's long lead-
ership in the field of American
literature.

Once again returning to the Ag-
nes Scott campus, Mr. Frost will
receive, as always, a warm wel-
ceme from the college communi-
ty. Thursday afternoon, January
27, he will speak to all freshmen,
members of writing clubs, and
American literature classes. His
topic will be "Rhythm and Meter".
Those wishing to hear Mr. Frost
at this time should be present
promptly at 5:00 p. m. in the lower
dining hall.

On Friday, and again on Satur-
day, at one o'clock, Mr. Frost will
have lunch in the President's
dining room with the English fac-
ulty, Lecture Committee, and Eng-
lish majors doing independent
study.

Presently on display in the li-
brary are a number of Robert
Frost's books, including editions
in German and Spanish Agnes
Scott owns the finest Frost col-
lection in the country. Many of
the works have ben presented by
Frost himself, and others have
been given by Miss Emma May
Laney, professor of English. Sev-
eral of his original Christmas
cards and manuscripts ar ealso
being shown.

Frost will autograph copies of
his works for students and facul-
ty members if these books are
left in the library before Wednes-
day, January 26. Several editions
are on sale in the library. How-

The Master Pen

Tonight one of the foremost figures of our time will speak
in Presser hall for the thirteenth consecutive year.

We of this community are highly privileged to be the hosts
of Robert Frost. An internationally recognized poet and au-
thor, Mr. Frost pays our campus a great honor with his
yearly visits and his friendship for the college. His mind is
a sharp and fascinating one; the poetry which has poured
from it during his lifetime reveals a depth which indicates
one reason why he is a literary figure "whose work is most
likely to endure as the classics of our time." His works are
of such calibre that they are able to stir a variety of emo-
tions. . . a severe test of greatness.

Perhaps some of you have never read Frost. If not, by all
means do so. And of course many of you have never heard
him. You cheat yourself sorely to stay away tonight.

We welcome you with sincere cordiality, Robert Frost.
You compliment us when you come to be with us; it gives
us pleasure to be your host. CW

Top - Flight Production

Hurry, Hurry, Hurry. Step right up, folks, to the big top.
It's the greatest show on earth! It's colossal! It's stupen-
dous! It's daring and dynamic! And that's just what it was
the 1955 Junior Jaunt, of course. "Follies Bercircus" was
the title, and circus was the theme.

There were clowns and zebras, dancers, singers, and hawk-
ers. It was really a top-flight production, and we want to
commend everyone who participated. The set, decorations,
and costumes showed ingenuity and artistry; the skits pre-
sented by each class were clever; and the queen reigned
beautifully.

Junior Jaunt is the one time in the year when Agnes
Scott has a program to raise money for charity. All classes
compete, devising various money-making schemes, and the
class which raises the most money according to percentage
based on the number of people in the class crowns its can-
didate for queen to rule over the festivities.

All in all the coordinated efforts of the four classes pro-
duced an extravaganza worthy of anyone's praise. The many
visitors, the dates, and the students all agree with us that
the evening's entertainment was an excellent climax to a
week of plans, preparations, practices, and fervid money-rais-
ing. MM

Luccheses Drained Brain Goofs This Week,
Discovers Nothing Upstairs For Inspiration;
Master Mind To Produce Jewel Next Issue

LUCCHESE

TIME: Sunday afternoon, 4:30. PLACE: Basement of Hub
A.S.C. News Feature writer is wracking a drained brain for a
novel idea. There is no novel idea, so writer decides to go
upstairs for inspiration.

Upstairs writer finds Joanne Miklas, Judy McDaniel,
Pat McGee and Louisa Allen col

lapsed over bridge table. Writer
thinks A-Ha. Feature on Junior
Reactions On Dlay After Junior
Jaunt. Writer asks for statements
for the Press. Micklas says "I
feel like a balloon with all the air
let out of it" McGee says "I feel
like that dog with out any feet"
(attention everyone! Reference to
Senior Skit) McDaniel is writing
a letter and offers nothing but a
smile while Louisa is humming
"Tremendous, stupendous, the
Greatest Show on earth".

Writer gives up this idea and
in considering writing a song en-
titled "I Missed The Flu; Did You
Did YOU?" when Illustrious edi-
tor C. Wells appears on the scene
after a six day stay in the infir-
mary during which she carried on
the Business of the Agnes Scott
News via windows and D. Weak-
ley.

Writer asks editor's advice and
editor says write on anything at
all but make it long because the
way it looks now you have a
whole page to fill up.

Louisa Allen appears again
carrying a huge spotlight and
looking for vespers .

Weakley tells her there's a

music convention instead and to
read notes in the future. Louisa
leaves in confusion with the spot-
light.

Writer feels deadline danger-
ously near, and goes to dining
hall hoping to find her Muse again
but is met by Paden who is dodg-
ing through the line for seconds
saying "Eat the Ham Don't eat
the other. They haven't got hot
chocolate."

The conversation at dinner is

er. The topic of conversation is

Ethan Frome Paper, Ink Bath
Highlight Life of Aurora Editor

By ELEANOR SWAIN

The curtain slid back, the dim stage held the set for a Greek
drama, "The Choephori." A tall, intense girl costumed in black
made an impressing entrance. In the play this slender girl
was Electra; in real life she is Ann Allred, the editor of the
"Aurora," our campus literary magazine. Ann's dramatic
debut as a sophomore was a spec-
tacular success, winning for her
the Claude S. Bennett acting
award for 1952-53. Capably por-
traying Emily Bronte in "Moor
Born" during her junior year,
Ann confirmed the rather strong
campus suspicion that she not only
looked dramatic but was.

This English major, whose earli-
est memories are of an "Ethan
Frome" paper and an indelible ink
bath in Inman showers, seems
always to either have her feet on
the stage or a pencil in her hand,
pf course, one must be able to
write a fairly decent paragraph
to survive an English major, but
talent like Ann's is extraordinary
in the field. The campus has for
four years enjoyed her unusual
short story contributions to
"Aurora,". BOZ, and as president
of "Folio," as well as her neces-
sarily more usual work as copy
editor of the News. Appropriate-
ly Ann is thinking of going into
journalism after graduation, but
she also mentions the French For-
eign Legion. (We mention the
valuable article on her third fin-
ger left-hand.) Ann's other activi-
ties include a four year member-
ship in the Glee Club and election
to Mortar Board.

An extracurricular activity that
proved too exciting even for Ann
was a trip to Cuba last summer.
In Marianao, Cuba, near Havana,
with a JVJethodist Caravan of 12
young people from her High Point,
North Carolina home town Ann
taught Bible School and helped
direct mission camps. The student

riot in Havana, the day before
Ann came home, however, had no-
thing to do with Bible schools, the
bullets flying around were in
earnest and entirely too close for
comfort.

We venture no predictions as
to Ann's future career. It is evi-
dent that she could be either an
acting writer or a writing actor.
No matter what she does somehow
she will create interesting and
exciting adventures for those who
know her.

who are interested in attending
any, or all of the discussions are
asked to sign up in Mrs. Winter's
office so that the refreshment
committee will know the approxi-

cerely hoped that the entire cam-
pus will take advantage of these
wondeful vocational aids, thjat

Biondeau Reigns Over Big Top
As Seniors Capture Skit Prize

The Big Top went up on the Junior Jaunt production Fol-
lies Bercircus last Saturday night and revealed that the
junior class had crowned Catherine Blondeau "Queen of the
Big Top" by contributing $722 to the campus-wide charity

The College's need for additional

as more and more students at
Agnes Scott have desired to live
on the campus, thus enjoying all
activities of the college communi-
ty. All indications are that this
trend will continue indefinitely.
At present, several cottages, most
of them 50 years old, are being us-
ed to house students.

The building is to be completed

Allen Displays Scoring Ability;
Junior A's, Sophomore B's Win

KEO KELLER

High scoring, both individual and teamwise, featured the
A basketball game last Friday as the Junior A's trounced
the Freshmen, 69-32. In B team action, the Sophomores de-
feated the Seniors, 2919.

In a spectacular display of shooting ability, Junior Louisa
Allen outscored the whole fresh-

man team by garnering 43 points.
Teammate Mary Dean collected a
total of 21 for the winners.

The tall junior forwards also
functioned as a well organized
unit with May Muse, team cap-
tain, and Barbara Battle leading
the way. The defense was especial-
ly effective in the first half, hold-
ing the frosh to only 9 points.

Nancy Kimmel was the main-
stay of the frosh offense, tossing
in a tqjal of 13 points. She was
followed by Becky Fewell with
9 and Hazel Ellis with 7, all in the
second half. Martha Myers led the
defensive unit.

Patsy Chastain and Virginia
Redhead grabbed high scoring hon-
ors in the soph's victory. Helen
Hendry, because of her speed,
gained the title of "playmaker"
for the soph forwards. Stalwarts
on defense were Martha Aiken
and Virginia Keller.

Balanced scoring was the key-
note of the senior attack with
Peggy Bridges bucketing 9, fol-
lowed by Mickey Scott with 8. Al-
though handicapped by inexper-
ience, the senior guards, led by
Margaret Williamson, made a
comeback in the second half, hold-
ing the sophomores to only 10
points.

A battle of unbeatens is on the
agenda this week as the sopho-
more B's tangle with the junior
B's. In the other half of the double
header, the senior and frosh A
teams will both be looking for
their first win of the season.

Competition Hits Frat Parties
As Junior Jaunt Takes Scene

VIVIAN HAYS

Whoopee! things are picking up again it seems that Tech fraterni-
ties were in competition with our own Junior Jaunt Saturday night,
but those of you who attended the dance on campus found it lots
of fun.

The SAE's at Tech will be the ruin of me if I attempt to tell just
how many Scot ties went to their big blast, but I will make an effort
to give a few of their lucky sweethearts. Seen dancing there were
Mary Dickinson, Fleming Winn, Punky Fambrough, Joan Pruitt,
Martha Gaines, Jeanette Huff, Sandra Thomas, and Jackie Johnson.
The Betas at Tech had some odd sounding party and asked over
Patsy Chastain, May Muse, Frankie Flowers, Rookie Smith, Clara
Ann Starnes, Martha Davis, and Jimsie Oeland.

The Campus Club's party in Dtoolie's Den was the only social ele-
ment at Emory this past week-end. They must have issued an order
for mass evacuation to ASC. Nancy Grayson, Carol Riley, Diana
Carpenter, and Sue Lile were the Agnes Scott representatives at
this function.

Other Tech fraternities participating in the competition with Jr.
Jaunt were: Theta Chi, Lambda Chi, Delta Tau Delta, Pi K A, Phi
Delta, ATO, Alpha Grabba Hoe, Tau Tau Tau, and other such well
known frats. A list of scrambled names follows, as the game for the
week see how many you can match with the above fraternities, and
return by next week. Caro McDonald, Barbara Sinclair, Mary Oates,
Sally Templeman, Pat Sanford, Julia Weathers, Anne Mc-
Curdy, Connie Curry, Margaret Ann Zepatos, Angeline
Pope, Yadac Babalooche, Samanthy Christopher, little Vivienne Haze,
and Inez Alexander.

Nancy Holland received a Sigma Chi pin of the Tech variety last
Sunday afternoon.

Thanks millions for helping me out this week-end girls, see it
you can keep up the good work until June.

McDaniel, Allen To Star In Ballet

. . . Carolyn Wells

While we rush about going to
class, getting homework, worry-
ing about that date for next week-
end, and attending to thousands of
other affars of great consequence,
something is happening on the is-
lands off the Chinese mainland
which is very incongruous with
this peaceful setting of ours.

War is raging.

The Chinese Nationalists and
the Chinese Communists are at
each other's throats over the is-
lands of Tachen. The Chinese of
Peiping have come thundering at
Formosa, and demanded that it be
returned t oits "rightful owners"
the Chinese. China hasn't owned
Formosa for fifty years.

President Eisenhower signed a
statement Sunday authorizing his
authority to defend Formosa at
risk of war. The United States

The House and Senate

means business. The House and
the Senate have both passed the
bill authorizing the President to
defend Formosa. The U- S. diplo-
mats, it seems, are changing their
policy from a "keep them guess-
ing" to a "you can got so far
and no further" one. It's about
time the dog bared its teeth to re-
inforce its growl. Since Korea the
cold war with the Communists has
been on our part just kid glove
notes to the aggressors. It's good
that President Eisenhower is able
now to clutch a great big piece of
wood in his fist and dare the Chi-
nese Communists to go too far.
The congressional resolution not

Endorsement

only endorses the President's au-
thority to secure and defend For-
mosa, but also the Pescadores,
which have been guarded by the
Seventh Fleet since 1950, and
"such related positions and terri-
tories of that area now in friend-
ly hands", such as the Quemoy
and Matsu Island groups, off the
Communist-held mainland.

The first immediate effect will
be orders to the Seventh Fleet to
raise an air umbrella over the
evacuation of the Tachen Islands.
These islands were being shelled
last Sunday by the Chinese Com-
munists. They are located some
200 miles north of Formosa. At
the time of the shelling, the Sev-
enth, was completing preparations
to cover the expected evacuation
of some 10,000 Nationalist troops
and 20,000 civilians from Tachen.

Apparently America is not going
to sit this one out.

Sewell To Dance Miller
In 'Three - Cornered Hat

By Cynthia Muse

The Agnes Scott Dance Group under the direction of Miss Eugenie Dozier will present
"The Three-Cornered Hat" for their annual ballet on Wednesday, February 9, at 8:30 p. m.
The ballet selected for performance this year is from a book by Martinez Sierra based on
a folk tale by Alarcon.

Set in a prosperous Spanish village, "The Three-Cornered Hat" is the story of a young
Spanish miller and his young '

wife, who are very much in love,
and their difficulties with the
Corregidor, the governor of the
province. Heading the cast are
Helen Sewell as the Miller, Judy
McDaniel as the Miller's Wife,
and Louisa Allen as the Corregi-
dor.

Carlana Lindamood is cast as
the Dandy, and Anne Wilson and
Blanche Spencer as village girls.
Frankie Flowers is the Corregi-
dor's wife and Linda Guenther, Al-
berta Jackson, Jeannine Roobin
and Claire Tritt are the guards.
The Jota dancers are Maizie Cox,
Sissi McSwain, Jackie Murray,
Frances Patterson, Gay Pound,
Louise Rigdon, Donna Walkup and
Margaret Ann Zepatos. The vil-
lagers are Lillian Alerander, Eve-
lyn Beckum, Becky Deal, Pat Go-
ver, Jourdan Jones, Caro McDon-
ald, Carol Riley and Jackie Roun-
tree.

Vera Williamson does the vocal
parts of the ballet and Mrs. Wil-
liam A. Bell is the piano accom-
panist.

The original choreography for
"The Three-Cornered Hat" was
by Massine. Miss Dozier obtained
the choreography from Angel Can-
sino and the subsequent choreo-
graphy for this production was
done by members of the Dance
Group with Judy McDaniel as
chairman and Louisa Allen as co-
chairman.

The costumes were designed by
Leone Bowers Hamilton and ex-
ecuted with the assistance'of Mar-
garet Foskey. Alberta Jackson is
is charge of decor with the as-
sistance of Carlana Lindamood,
Frances Patterson, and Margaret
Ann Zepatos.

General admission is 80 cents
and 40 cents for the college com-
munity. Tickets will be sold in the
dorms and in Buttrick. Further
announcements will be made in
chapel.

Richardson Presents Program
For Week of Personal Devotions

By Barbara Duvall

The week from February 6 to February 12 has been set
aside as Personal Devotions Week; and Martha Richardson,
chairman of Christian Faith on the Christian Association
Cabinet, has co-ordainated our chapel programs and vespers
in order to present this theme to the campus community.
There will be discussions about

times, methods, and the names of
specific books which can be used
in personal devotions. #

To start the week of special
emphasis on our personal spiritual
life will be vespers in Maclean
Chapel from 5:00 to 5:30 on Sun-
day evening, Feb. 6, written by
Mrs. Doris Sullivan Tippens, as-
sistant to the Dean of Students.

Morning watch a brief devo-
tional service will be held at 8
a. m. each morning, Tuesday-Fri-
day, Feb. 8-11, in the Dieckmann
room in Main. The weekly ves-
pers will be led by Dr. Wallace
Alston on Monday, Tuesday and
Thursday evenings at 6:45. Dr.
Alston will discuss "Method of
Prayer," "The Use of the Bible in
Personal Devotions," and "Resour-
ces in Devotional Reading" all
of which will be included under
his main topic, "Resource? in Per-
sonal Devotional Living."

The chapel program for Tues-
day, Feb. 8, will be a panel dis-
cussion on "What Personal De-
votions Mean to Me." Serving on
the panel are Margaret William-
son of our student body, Mr. S. G.
Stukes of our administration, and
Miss Glendora Boyce of our facul-
ty-
Convocation on Wednesday, Feb.
9, will be led by Dr. J. M. Rich-
ards, president of Columbia The-
ological Seminary. His theme will
be "Listening to God."

As Martha states, "The purpose
of Personal Devotions Week is to
help everyone here at Agnes Scott,
both students and faculty, to deep-
en his faith and enrich his spir-
tual life through improvement of

methods in private daily medita-
tions."

G et The Facts About Traveling;
Arrange Summer Tours Soon

By Linda Guenther

If you're looking for help in planning your, summer vaca-
tion, and would like to travel, there are two people on campus
who are most willing and able to answer your questions.
They are Nancy Burkitt and Octavia Garlington.

Nancy is chairman of Lower House's National Student
Association Committee, and is a

walking sandwich board, radio and
TV advertising, Chamber of Com-
merce all-in-one. She says that
most of the NSA tours last around
75 days and that most of them are
for Western Europe, although
there are several to Mexico and
Canada. The specialized tours in-
clude a European tour, a tour of
the Balkans, one of the Middle
East and a Tri-Continent tour. Of
particular interest to the student
are the following types of tours:
journalism, student government

study, economics and politics, so-
ciology, painting and sculpture,,
musical festival, language semi-
nars, business and commerce,,
work camps, future teachers and
librarians, medicine and public
health, and sports.

Less expensive tours include 40-
day tour of the British Isles, and
75-day cycling tours of Western
European countries. A unique fea-
ture of the NSA plan is the ex-
tension tour taken during the
week to ten days of free time

Dissertation On Flu

It is a well known fact that we have been having a visitor
on campus for some weeks. This particular stranger is neither
invited nor welcome, but he has moved right in amongst us
and seems to have no inclination to leave as this goes to press.

He is a bug by the name of Flu.

Members of the community have spent endless hours en-
tertaining him either already have, are at present, or are
very liable to in the future. Our infirmary has become the
most popular spot on campus, and its staff is working very
hard in an effort to rid us of this most unwelcome guest.

ACP, codine, and penicillin are flying in all directions.

Now the main point of this editorial is not to inform you
that flu is in the air. We're quite sure that you are well aware
of that fact. The big problem is to get this little monster iso-
lated. The more folks that come into contact with him, the
more folks he is going to visit with for awhile. He simply
adores to be entertained.

Therefore, the object is to stay away from him. If dear
roomie Mandy Lou comes down with this galloping consump-
tion, it is NOT a good idea at all to go and sit a spell and pass
the time of day. In the first place, Mandy Lou is probably out
flat on her back, busy coughing and generally feeling lower
than low, and really doesn't feel like entertaining you as well
as Herr Flu. And in the second place, no sooner visited than
contaminated you with Herr Flu!

And so, would you kindly, please ma'am, stay away from
the sacred halls of the sick, unless to join the ranks yourself
(in which case, by all means report immediately), or to take
Mandy Lou some clean pajamas.

The sooner this bug leaves this campus, the happier we all
will be.

Pome on the subject:

Believe me, hon
This bug's no fun
To entertain
Your back and brain
Will ache and ache
And almost break.
Your fever mounts
To higher counts
Than 98.6
Oh, what a fix! C.W.

Grounded

The grass of the Agnes Scott campus has gone zero days
without receiving a traffic fatality. The casualties have been
high, and the damage has become massive.

The death rate must be decreased.

This decrease will not come unassisted. We as pedestrians
must heed traffic signs which read "Please." The main
walkways must be used and the detours across the grass
should be closed. The travel on the man-made paths where
the grass has been destroyed must be stopped, and the excuse,
"there is no grass to walk on" must be abandoned.

There are no patrolmen to arrest or fine you for this vio-
lation. It is your responsibility to keep on the right road.

All of the trite reminders to "keep off the grass" are similar
to the (grass in that they can be run in the ground. Let us
cease to do either one. The responsibilty does not lie in the
reminders, but in the pedestrians.

Let us strive for a countless number of days violation-void
and fatality-free. DW

Overcomes Students 7 Boredom

By Lucchese

Things getting a little dull, girls? Have your quizzes and
papers become mere lists of split infinitives that make the
faculty gasp and slap their foreheads? Does your major bore
you? Or does the fact that you don't -have a major bore you
even more? Have your oral reports lost that zestful spark of
initiative that used to keep the
rest of the class at rigid attention ?
Do you wander listlessly from
class to class thinking that surely
life^ has more to offer a person of
your capabilities?

Lass

When you pass
(Especially en masse)
From class to class
Oh, spare yon grass

Please ?

Harriet S to vail

Well, it has. Emerge from your
lethargies, and consider the field
of popular music. This field, like
Organic Chemistry, "is racing
ahead like a forest fire" and the
people who write the words for the
current hits are right on top of the
blaze.

The words of the hit tunes of
late 1954 era and the up and com-
ing melodies of today are clear
evidence of an unprecedented peak
in the aesthetic appreciation of
the American public. Can you spell
Sh-Boom? Tweedle-Dee? Oop-
shoop? Good. We have found the

Before you do anything construc-
tive along these lines, it is impera-

you in the proper frame of mind.

HARRIET SflTOVALL

False Registration

Last week a member of the Agnes Scott student body an-
nounced that she has been married since the month of August,
and the day she announced it, she left our campus. Circum-
stances surrounding the event have produced much discus-
sion, a great deal of which expresses the opinion that the
senior has been done an injustice.

Because of her action in keeping her marriage secret, and
thereby imposing a breach of honor, she created a situation
whereby it was necessary that she leave. If there has been a
wrong committed against her, no one committed it but herself.

The question is primarily one of false registration. By affix-
ing a name which was not her own to an official blank of the
college, she committed an act of dishonesty, and because of
this act she was no longer considered a student in this college.
This policy has been a long-standing one here. If a student,
or professor, or anyone at all connected with the college is
aprehended for distributing false information about them-
selves it is only fair and just that the college should have no
further official dealings with them. Dishonesty in any form is
regrettable, and no twisting of the situation can make it right.

The student was not railroaded off campus. She left of her
own will, under no pressure. She had already made prepara-
tions for departure before announcing her marriage to the
president's office.

Of course as we all know the entire administration is
against secret marriages. Secret marriages certainly are
not the most above-board things in the world, and often
lead to rumors highly detrimental to all persons concerned.
It is not fair for any student to involve Agnes Scott's repu-
tation in any situation in which it will be degraded unjustly,
even if she does not particularly care about her own.

The administration has acted wisely in this situation. It
is the duty of every student to consider the situation open-
mindedly, and to judge accordingly. CW.

Stovall's Scenario Tops

Day Student Chairman Pokes
Capable Finger In Many Pots

By Eleanor Swain

"The witches of the Hills are gathered around their cere-
monial Fire which flickers and dances in their midst.." "She
seems very sad and strange for she is Melisse, the captured
witch". "The struggle still goes on between the "Preacher"
and the "Granny Witch". These tantalizing sentences are
separate bits taken from Harriet

Stovall's senario for 1955 May
Day- The origin of the lovely and
original Mountain May Day writ-
ten by our Day Student Chair-
man can be traced to her exper-
ience as a counselor in a moun-
tain camp last summer, (she loves
mountain climbing,) and to her
folklore and music hobbies.

A devoted art major, Harriet's
artistic feeling for beauty and bal-
ance have also contributed to her
sure-to-be-successful senario. This
contribution is only one instance
of Harriett's generous sharing

of her talents. She also draws pos-
ters for all types of campus pub-
licity, originates cartoons, (see
this issue of the News,) and de-
signs bulletins for special music
programs and other occasions at
her church, Druid Hills Baptist.
A Christmas job at The Pacer, an

Summer Is A-comiri

Students Offer Job Suggestions;
Guide Future Summer Workers

By May Muse

Now is the time for all good Agnes Scotters to start think-
ing about plans for the summer. Of course, some will be
married; some will want to stay at home; some will dash mad-
ly from country to country in Europe; but there are others
who are curious about the type of summer job that is avail-
able to college girls. Perhaps

ideas could be gotten from the ex-
periences of girls in past sum-
mers.

Sarah Davis last summer had a
fabulous time working in a guest
lodge in Colorado. She says girls
don't have to have any special ex-
perience or preparation for this
type of job. She got her job
through friends, but the ordinary
method for getting a job of this
type is to write the Chamber of
Commerce in the town where you
would like to work.

Sally Shippey has worked for
the past two years for the Geor-

Government Job
gia government. To get this job she
had to pass a merit system test.
Different types of tests are giv-
en, depending on the type jobs
offered; typing would help but is
not necessary. Louise Rainey
worked in an office in Atlanta last
summer for the federal govern-
ment. Her job required passing a
civil service exam and a knowledge
of typing and a little shorthand.

Guerry Fain has made use of
her last two summers to enjoy be-
ing out-o-doors. Summer before
last she taught swimming, and
last summer she was a playground
director in one of the Atlanta
parks. She advised to apply ear-
ly to the city recreation director
of Atlanta in order to get a job
of this type.

summer spent working on the

Berta Jackson did social work
in New York City. She worked
with groups of children in a Shel-
ter for children near the Bowery
and Greenwich Village. She had
three seminars a week to attend.
To apply write to the college sum-
YVVCA

mer service group sponsored by
the YWCA. Two years of college
are required for this job. This
summer Berta and Joan Adair
have applied for work in an ecum-
enical work camp in Europe. They
applied through the World Coun-
cil of Churches, church office in
New York.

Perhaps some of these exper-
iences will give you an idea of
what type job you would like for
the summer. Everyone agrees that
it is necessary to apply early for
summer jobs. It even helps to be
nice to all old church friends, rel-
atives, etc. Be sure to have a
good, many prospects lined up be-
cause any good job is likely to fall
through at the last minute. Al-
though there's not much you can
do about it, an extra year of col-
lege sometimes helps. Happy hunt-
ing! And here's hoping this helps-

Among this number there are

day evening youth group, Har-
riet has always shown a sincere
interest in boarding life as well as
in day student activities. During
her freshman year membership in
Folio and serving as secretary-
treasurer of her class kept our ar-
tist on campus long after most day
students had checked out their
library books and gone home. This
beginning set a precedent which
continued with Harriet's ser-
vice in Lecture Association her
junior year, on Mortar Board her
senior year, and on Student Gov-
ernment for three years.

When campus activities are com-
pleted, Harriet daydreams of
doing art work for children's pub-
iications. Who knows probably
our children will read "Little
Black Sambo" with illustrations
by Harriet Stovall. And if her
Mountain May Day is any indica-
tion she might well provide some
competition for "Sambo's" story
with some stories of her own.

Travel

(Continued from Page 1)
allowed at the end of each NSA
tour. For those who would be in-
terested in an unusual spring va-
cation, Bermuda tours are avail-
able during spring vacation and
Easter week. All NSA information
is available to any student and is
valuable assistance to anyone
planning or pipe-dreaming about
traveling this summer.

Tavie Garlington receives infor-
mation from many colleges all over
the country which plan and carry
out their own tours in connection
with the college. Her most recent
information has come from St.
Olaf's in Minnesota, from Bucknell
University in Pennsylvania, and
the Junaluska plan which she es-
pecially recommends. Tavie places
this information in the library and
'will be most ready to talk with
students about these and other
tours. For further information
about traveling, see either Tavie

Scotties Receive Guests, Pins;
Fraternity Parties Take Scene

By Judy Brown

All those girls who managed by hook or crook to break their date
with Mr. Influenza spent a very exciting week-end. There were many
added attractions on the campus this week-end in the form of young
men recuperating from semester exams. Virginia Redhead, Jane Moore,
Sally Greenfield, Ann Welborn, and Kitty Williams, just to name a few,
were entertaining visitors.

Over at Tech Friday night the annual Navy Ball attracted Helen Jc
Hinchey and Bettye Carmichael.

Saturday night the Sigma Chis had "one party francaise" and invit-
ed Madomoiselles Patti Mayton, Alvia Cook, and Marilyn Monohan,
Anne Bullard, Ethel Edwards, and Sandra Thomas were over at the
KA house dance. Annie Oakleys at the Theta Chi Western party in-
cluded Carolyn Moon and Mary Nell Mobley.

Out Emory way Friday the Chi Deltas held a house dance which
Kay White, Louise Harley and Dtede Farmer attended. Liz Shumaker,
Catherine Giradeau, Julian Preble, and Celeste Rogers went to the
Sig pajama party.

The SAE's entertained with their winter formal over the week-end.
Caroline Phelan, Punky Fambrough, Gracie Greer, Sally Templeman,
and Bopine Bogle were there (and Bopine received an SAE pin).

Both the dentists and the doctors to-be had dances Saturday. With
the Alpha Omega dental frat were Delores Ann Taylor, Caroline Rorn-
berg and Shirley Spackman; with the Phi Chi Med. boys were Judy
Peace and Louise Rainey.

Many apologies for this late announcement Ryland Swain received
a Chi Phi pin (Emory style) Christmas. And here's a prompt one to
compensate Margaret Williamson is wearing a seminary student's
K.A. pin, as of Sunday night. Joanne Miklas got a SPE pin Monday
night at 10:45.

Three ASC gals who made the trip to the frozen north of Virginia
were Keo Keller, Sara Moore, and Virginia McClurkin. Keo went to
mid-winter at VPI while Sara and Virginia were up at Washington
and Lee for the ever famous "Fancy DVess."

4 THE AGNES SCOTT NEWS # Wednesday. February 2. 1955

Kimmel Leads
Sophomore B's

A hard-fighting sophomore team
surged ahead in the final minutes
of an exciting fourth quarter to
down their fast junior opponents,
11-8, in the B game last Friday.

Hindered by fouls and a staunch
junior defense, the sophs trailed
behind at the half-time, 6-0, and
not until the last quarter were the
yellow forwards successful in
breaking through to their basket.

The junior forwards, sparked
by Ann Welborn, displayed excel-
lent teamwork throughout the en-
tire game, but a strong sophomore
defense, led by Doug Pittman and
Martha Akin, kept the scoring to
an extreme minimum.

Jackie Murray racked up six
points for the winners against a
consistent junior guard unit made
up of Joanne Miklas, Eleanor
Swain, and Virginia Love.

This is the second straight vic-
tory for the sophs, and it puts
them out in front in the B con-
test-
Great improvement in shooting
ability, handling of the ball, and
team work marked the first win

Eight Seniors Take
G.R. Examinations

On Thursday, Jan. 27, eight sen-
iors took the Graduate Record
Examinations at Emory Univer-
sity. They were Ann Allred, Geor-
gia Belle Christopher, Bettie
Forte, Leah Fine, Alice Nunnally,-
Pat Paden, Georgia Syribeys, and
Carolyn Wells.

The exams will be given again
on April 30, 1955 at Emory. In-
formation concerning them may
be received by writing to Educa-
tional Testing Service, 20 Nassau
Street, Princeton, N. J.

Freshman Win;
Beat Juniors

for the Freshmen A team as they
scored a 52-30 win over the Sen-
iors in last Friday's game.

The senior forwards' abiUty to
shoot from any position on the
court was displayed by M. E.
Knight, who led the seniors with
15 points, and Libby Wilson, who
sank 13 points. Many of these
points resulted from the effective
use of the screen play. The sen-
ior's defense didn't begin to work
till the second quarter when they
held the freshmen to four points
as compared with the first quar-
ter's 11 points.

The freshmen became a team
for the first time as they exhibit-
ed fine ball handling, speed, and
shooting ability. Nancy Kimmel,
playing the entire game, was high
scorer for the frosh with 15 points.
Becca Few T ell was close behind her
with 13 points. Hazel Ellis was
outstanding in faking the guards
out of position. The defense, led by
Martha Myers and "Pinky" Mc-
Call, did an excellent job of get-
ting rebounds off the backboard
and moving the ball to the other
end of the court.

It is Christian liberal educa-

who a century ago were fight-

Thomas To Lead Religious Week

. . . Carolyn Wells

Pierre Mendes-France has been
ousted as premier of France.

His defeat came in the form of
a 319-273 vote against an endorse-
ment of him by the deputies of
the French national assembly.

The fall of the former premier
came as a blow to the West Ger-
man government. The overriding
concern of Chancellor Konrad
Adenauer and his associates was
the effect of the political crisis on
France's ratification of the Paris
agreement to rearm West Ger-
many.

As consultations started to se-
lect a new premier it appeared as
if the chief features of the Men-
des-France policy had been called
in question by the downfall of the
French cabinet early Saturday.

The Paris agreement for arming
West Germany, autonomy in
North Africa, the peace in Indo-
china and the planned French so-
cial reforms will have to be /tackl-
ed all over again by the new
French premier.

Officials of all countries in-
volved can see nothing but hard
times and confusion concerning the
pact in the near future.

The action of France is certain-
ly indicative of the unstableness
of the country, for Mendes-France
was one of the strongest premiers
to hold sway in France in a long
time. One can not help but wonder
just what the French people will
come up with next in the way of a
government. Perhaps by the time
you read this, the issue will have
been decided. It certainly will be
an interesting one to watch.

Music Club To Give

The Music club is presenting

Survey of Many Local Alumnae
Shows Variety of Job Choices

What you're learning at Agnes Scott will be useful in what
kind of job?

The Vocational Guidance committee of the Agnes Scott
Alumnae association, in cooperation with the alumnae assoc-
iation staff, recently took a survey of Agnes Scott graduates
working in the Atlanta area,

and the result shows what you
might be doing after graduation
if you enter the professional world.
The report was compiled by Mrs.
Edwina Davis Christian, chairman
of the committee.

One hundred and twenty-eight
replied to the questionaire sent
to all Atlanta graduates. Although
the survey was specifically design-
ed to gather information on At-
lanta Agnes Scott alumnae work-
ing outside the home, 28 of those
who replied were homemakers.

Two of the alumnae who replied
are in school at Emory.

The remaining 98 who replied
are working in Atlanta.

Here's a breakdown on what
they're doing.

Teachers, 40; (elementary, 28:
high school, 7; kindergarten, 4:

nursing school, 1) workers in scien
tific field, 16; secretaries, 9; clerks,
6; social workers, 5; librarians, 4;
artists and advertising employees,
3; personnel workers, 3; journal-
ists, 2; airline employees, 2; as-
sistants to deans, 2, and two public
relations workers.

One alumna is engaged in each
of the following fields: banking,
religious education, mathematics,
and engineering.

The questionaire also asked
what the alumna majored in at
Agnes Scott. The majority of the
teachers majored in psychology,
ETnglish, sociology, or history.

Of the 16 in the science field,
six majored in chemistry; Sve
in biology, three in interdepart-
mental science; one in math and

It's a Big Snarl

We are in the midst of what is commonly dubbed the winter
quarter slump. More work is being crammed into less time.
The weather is not only foul but spasmotic. Twenty four
hours just doesn't seem to be enough time per day. Tests pile
up on top of each other in seemingly hopeless confusion. The
mysterious flu bug hides around corners and pounces on
students with no consideration whatsoever about the volumes
o? work they must do. Everything is in a general snarl.

Two things are for certain. This is the world's worst quarter,
and believe it or not, it will end. Whether it ends with you
aboard with flying colors or not depends on the way you care-
fully hoard and make good use of every scrap of time right
now. The grade you save most definitely will be your very
own.

Besides the fast approaching exams (don't look now, but
guess what's just around the corner keeping the flu com-
pany), there is another very good reason for getting just as
caught up and just as ahead as you can this week. Next week
is a very special one on campus.

It is a time of personal examination, personal deep think-
ing. It is the week of religious emphasis. It only comes once
a year. It is an opportunity not to be wasted. Think acade-
mically this week, that you may be able to dwell on thoughts
religious and spiritual during the next. CW

A Shot in the Arm

Well folks, it's about time fore a booster shot. In our hectic
school holiday activities we have ceased to be acutely con-
scious of a subject that consumed a week of our thoughts at
the beginning of this year. We need a shot of anti-bodies (the
most pleasant form is words) to immunize ourselves against
the little careless infractions and the big antagonistic and
thoughtless attitudes that can do so much harm to our
HONOR SYSTEM.

Student Government's carefully planned and tactfully exe-
cuted presentation of the Honor System this year has re-
sulted in a healthy campus wide attitude of respect and re-
sponsibility for this most important aspect of Agnes Scott
life. When we become alumnae the habit of responsibility for
our own honor we have learned here will be more valuable
to us than all the memories of gay parties, "A's" on exams, or
exciting basketball games. So let's fight carelessness with
our Honor System (it's as deadly as the flu bug), and never
let it be said that our resistance is low. ES

McCaughan Wins First Place
On Fictitious Robbery Try-Out

(Editor's note: Try-outs for additions to the staff of report-
ers were held by the "News" last week. Each candidate was
given the following fictitious information upon which to base
her try-out effort. The staff is proud to present the entry
judged best for the benefit of its realers. It is emphasized that
the following story is entirely fictitious.)

By Louise McCaughan

Between 2:15 and 3:00 a. m. on Monday, January 3, a burg-
lar entered Main Building through the maid's office window,
forced open the safe in the dean's office, and escaped with
over $50 in cash and a fur evening jacket valued at $150. The
Decatur Police Department is working on the case, but no
suspects have yet been brought in
for questioning.

Harvey Smith, the nightwatch-
man on duty at the time of the
robbery, discovered at 3:00 a. m.,
while making a routine check,
that the screen on the maid's of-
fice window had been cut. With-
out investigating further, Smith
entered the building through the
main door, to which he has a key
and telephoned the Decatur Po-
lice Department. At 3:30 a. m. two
patrolmen and Detective Robert
Powell arrived at the scene of the
robbery. After making a thorough
investigation, Powell reconstructed
the crime

At 2:15 a. m. Smith had check-
ed Main Building and found noth-
ing amiss. From Main he went to
Rebekah Scott Hall and then to
Pressor. Soon after Smith left
Main, the burglar cut the screen
of the maid's office window, pried
open the window and climbed in.
Withoift disturbing the maid's
safe, he crossed the hall and en-
tered the dean's office. He smash-
ed the lock and opened the safe.
According to Miss Carrie Scan-

drett, dean of students, there was
over $50 in small bills and change
in the safe. A fur jacket, which
senior Betty Jones had left in
Main Building before the Christ-
mas holidays and some legal docu-
ments and papers belonging to the
college were also in the safe. The
robber took the cash and the
fur, leaving the papers undisturb-
ed in the safe. He left the safe open
and escaped through the window
he had entered, shutting it be-
hind him. He left no fingerprints
or other clues. The Decatur Police
have asked all second-hand deal-
ers to notify them immediately if
anyone tries to sell them a fur
jacket.

Concerning the robbery Presi-
dent Wallace M. Alston stated,
"This is a very unfortunate inci-
dent. Harvey Smith has been em-
ployed by the Agnes Scott Com-
munity for 11 years and has a
flawless record of dependable ser-
vice. He was on duty, making his
regular rounds, at the time of the
robbery. Negligence on Smith's
part was in no way the cause of the
burglary."

Agnes Scott 'News' Adds
Eight New Staff Members

Marjorie Mallard and Lang-
borne Sydnor have been added
to the list of Agnes Scott
"News" reporters on the basis
of their tryouts. Jo Sawyer, Hel-
en Hendry, Louise McCaughan,
Jan Hill, Pat Stewart, and Mary
Jane Milford are the other
students whose work has been
accepted by the paper this quar-
ter.

tionately decided to call her after
long hours of deliberation, Genny
Vive (meaning long live Genny).

Little Long Live lived a very
long little life, during which she
became fabulously interested in
root tips. Since there was no one
living in the little town but little
Long Live's family, she naturally
had no playmates to playmate
around with, and so she began one
day in her spare time to try to
dig to Canada, which was on the
other side of the world. Little
LL always retained throughout
her life a deep fascination for
Canada, and was always reading
about it. Later when she grew up
she became president of the
AFEPIC club. (America for the
eleventh province in Canada.)

Well, anyway, LL went out into
the cheese garden (her father
raised cheese, specializing in the
roquefort and swiss variety which
he had developed throught muta-
tions) with her little dissecting
kit she had gotten from Sandy
Claws, a friend of the family who
liked to dig, too, but only at the
beach, last Christmas. (Some sen-
tences you just get all tangled
up in and just can't get out, yes
indeedy!)

To make a long sentence short,
little LL never got to Canada. By
accident ' she dug up one of her
daddy's cheese plants by the roots.
Of course her dorsal posterior
portion was properly tanned (she
got a switchin with a cheese bush
switch). But visions of the way
that root tip looked up at her
with great big elephant tears in its
eyes haunted our LL night and
day. This incident had much- to do
with shaping her later life.

She grew and grew and grew,
like most protoplasm has the habit
of. Soon she became a big girl.
Her mama and papa decided that
their offspring should have the
opportunity of studying her fav-
orite subject Canada. Little did
they realize that all through her
growth phase little LL, who was
now big LL, had retained a secret
desire to find out exactly why
those great big elephant tears had
come to the eyes of that cheese
tip.

After poking around in mail or-
der catalogues for years and years,
mama and papa finally found just
the college the Institoot for the
Advanced Study of Canada. And
so, with great big elephant tears

in their eyes, they packed big
LL's baggage with eighty 'leven
pounds of roquefort cheese, twen-
ty seven grams of swiss bliss, (a
specialty) and a complete ward-
robe without which no budding
young college girl should be, and
sent her off to ASC.

It is rumored that the presence
of so much cheese had a lasting
effect on the campus. Shortly after
big LL's arrival, there was a
complete dietary change in the
diet of the Malitia Plate dining
hall for dietary deficiencies.
Cheese dreams appeared.

It was also rumored that big
LL's roommate soon had to leave
because of an acute attack of nose
fatigue.

Well, any way, I see that my
time is just about up, but I do
want to make this one point with
you girls. While at ASC, big LL
not only was successful in leading
the group which wanted to get
America for the eleventh province
of Canada, but, (and I must hurry,
for my time is gone, I see) while
auditing a course on root tips,
she made the amazing discovery
that great big elephant tears come
to the eyes of cheese root tips
when they are dug up because:

1 There is a vital biochemical
reaction which is set off when any
of the area around the root tip
is disturbed.

2 This reaction has to do with
the release of dimethyltriphenylte-
traethyl-hexachlorophine which is
a western union agent. This sub-
stance runs down to the root tip
and sets off

3 a protozoa, filiria, widely
known as the causative agent for
elephantiasis.

4 This condition is characteri-
sed by weeping of the nature
which our gal LL noticed so long
ago.

Because of her great discovery,
LL was feted by a number of scien
tific societies, prominent among
which was the Royal Academy
of Root Tipology of Canada.

And now I see that my time
REALLY is gone, and I must leave.
I just wjsh that I had more time
so that I could tell you all about
the fascinating life of Genny
Vive, girl girl, girl protoplasm,
girl student, and fellow of the
girl root tip watchers of Canada.

Reporter Tells Little Known Facts To Students;
Outlines National Student Association Program

By Doris Musgrave

These are the facts the N.S.A. facts. This article is an
answer to all those questions about the National Student's
Association that you have been asking. And if you have not
been interested enough to ask any questions when you heard
it mentioned you should have. These facts are even for

those of you who are already
familiar with this non-sectarian,
non-political, interracial organi-
zation composed of colleges
throughout America.

Our able Lower House Chair-
man, Sarah Davis, is the N.S.A.
Chairman on the Agnes Scott cam-
pus. She is also secretary of the
Great Southern Region, while Con-
nie Curry is Chairman of this
region. These ranking offices are
positions of importance and a
credit to our school.

Lower House is the official
N.S.A. committee, because each
student is directly represented
through its members. Each cam-
pus community that is a member
belongs to one of the 19 regions
of N.S.A. throughout the coun-
try. These regions collectively
make up the National Students'
Association. Representatives from
all regions attend the national
congress in the summer. There
the policies are formulated, and
the national staff carries out the
policies mandated to them by
the congress.

Inevitably someone will ask,
"What do we get out of it"? The
answer is a long one. N.S.A. serves
as the voice of American students.
At the congress a group opinion
is obtained on all issues that per-
tain to college students. Then this
opinion is presented to the proper
authorities involved in each case,
by one of the national executive
officers. There are many concrete
evidences of the influence these
opinions have had in the past.
N.S.A. had a hand in the legis-
lation allowing students to earn
more than $600 and still be de-
clared as dependents. Partly by
the request of N.S.A. Congress did
not cut the appropriations for the

Fulbright scholarships. The most
important issue under consider-
ation by the students of America
now is segregation. Whatever the
final opinion is, it will hold weight
with the government because it
will represent the thinking of
America's youth and future
leaders.

To those of you who are still
not convinced that N.S.A. has per-
sonally benefited you here are
a few more ways that it has. The
preferential voting system, which
was initiated through the help of
N.S.A., has brought to the campus
the most democratic method for
elections possible. Voting preferen-
tially eleminates all run-offs.

Other benefits that reach all
the students are found in the
N.S.A. sponsored tours. A com-
plete European tour is offered for
under $1000, which is definitely
the least expensive tour. The at-
tractive features of these tours are
that you are with students the
whole time and the hosts and
hostesses in the various places are
foreign students. N.S.A. was also
responsible for bringing the Israeli
students to our campus recently.

A vital service of the National
Students' Association is helping
college solve problems pertain-
ing to any phase of student life.
As well as giving personal atten-
tion to all questions, the organiza-
tion regularly publishes a Student
Government bulletin that contains
valuable articles ranging from
"Making yours a better club", to
"Internationally students are Im-
portant." These bulletins are go-
ing to be placed in the library with
a reference index. This is an op-
portunity to obtain a wealth of
free info on any and all of your
college interests. It is there for
the seeking all you have to do
is seek it.

One of the most outstanding
features of being a member of
N.S.A. is the contact with other

schools and the exchange of ideas.
This is mainly accomplished at the
conferences, to which Agnes Scott
sends the Lower House chairman,
who is automatically the N.S.A.
Chairman on campus. As well as
getting ideas from other schools,
Agnes Scott delegate gives ideas
in exchange.

Another great importance of
these conferences is the prepara-
tion it gives to the delegate who
attends. In the long run these con-
ferences are important to each one
of us, because it makes a better
leader for our campus aware of
the problems before they arise.

Idealistically, it would be a grat-
ifying thought to think that every
student in the Agnes Scott com-
munity would be enthusiastic
about N.S.A. They would be aware
of its practical and significant
importance. Realistically, most
students take the benefits for
granted and will probably not even
find time to read this article about
it. But in fairness to those like
Sarah and Connie who generously
give their time to N.S.A., each stu-
dent should appreciate their ef-
forts, and make it their personal
responsibility to know what the
National Student Association does
for our campus.

Wide -Eyed Bird Takes Flight;
Sees Scotties In Many Places

By Judy Brown

A birds eye view of Atlanta and environs this week-end showed
Agnes Scott girls enjoying themselves all around town.

Out at Joe Cottons were Anne Lowry and Jo Sawyer listening to
the music of the Three Sons, Jo was entertaining a lad form University
of Florida. Mary Jane Milford had a Cornell gent visiting her for a
while.

Memye Curtis, Angeline Pope, and June Stockton were at the Tower
theatre for "Seven Year Itch" starring Eddie Bracken.

A quick flight to Emory revealed two formals in progress Friday
night. The Sigma Nus invited Genelle Breedlove, Lib Geiger, Millie
Lane, and Nancy Edwards to the "White Rose Ball." Richland Vandi-
ver, Margaret Rogers, Nancy Snipes, Connie Curry, and Karen Beall
were with the Pikas for their "Dream girl Formal."

Back at Ga. Tech Nonette Brown, Curley Jones, Nancy Jackson,
Fleming Winn, and Gloria Calhoun dined and house-danced Saturday
with the SAEs. Martha Riggins, Randy Norton, and June Fulmer
partied at the ATO house.

In the same neighborhood, at the Tech auditorium, were Nancy
Grayson, Carolyn Langston, and Peggy Beard viewing the Salzburg
Marionettes.

Almost out of seeing distance for the near-sighted bird were a
group of folks out at Snapfinger Farm. These folks proved to be all
the Sigma Chis from Tech and Emory and many Scotties including
Jean Clark, Sara Townsend, Susan Hogg, Molly Adams, Drew Blank-
ner, and Pat Sanford.

Completely out of range for the bird was Betty Richardson who
journeyed up to Athens town for the Barrister's Ball.

Miklas, Gregory Capture Initial Honors

Allen Strikes Again

Junior A's Stomp Sophomores,
Show Teamwork, High Scoring

By Keo Keller

One of the most spectacular exhibitions of shooting ability
ever seen on an A.S.C. basketball court occurred last Friday
as the aggressive Junior A team downed the sophomore A's,
67-37. The game proved to be the afternoon's only attraction
when the senior B's forfeited their scheduled game with the
Frosh B's.

Led by their perennial star,
Louisa Allen, who scored 37 points
the juniors built up a 32-18 half
time score and then coasted to the
victory. Although not her highest
points total this year, the game
was by far Louisa's most skillful
and was especially outstanding
since 11 of her points came on foul
shots.

Louisa received excellent sup-
port from her forward teammates,
Mary Dean and Harriett Griffin,
who scored 16 and 14 points re-
spectively. Mary used her height
to best advantage, scoring on
twisting jump shots, while Har-
riett's speed helped keep the of-
fense moving.

The whole junior defense was
especially effective in slowing
down the speedy sophomore for-
wards. May Muse's height aided
in^ rebounding while Barbara Bat-
tle and Dora Wilkinson used speed
in stealing the ball from their op-
ponents.

Balanced scoring featured the
sophomore offense which, in spite
of defeat, functioned smoothly
throughout most of the game. Mar-
gie DeFord led the attack with
15 points, followed by Doris Mus-
grave with 12 and Mary Hobby
Mills whose 10 points were all
scored during the second half.

Jeanine Frapart was the stal-
wart of the soph guards who per-

Ellington's Grocery
307 E. College Ave.
CR. 3841-3842

formed especially well during the
second quarter. Mary Evans Bris-
tow handled the rebounding chores
with Jean Porter and Margie Hill
aiding in working the ball out to
the forwards.

The victory gives the juniors sole
possession of the leadership in the
A division with a 2-0 record. Tops
in B division are the sophomores
who hold a similar record.

The junior A's will be out to
clinch their title this Friday when
they meet the senior A's at 4:00
p. m. In the second game, the
soph B's will seek to keep their
record unblemished when they tan-
gle with the freshman B team.
Final games of the regular season
will be plaved next week.

Students, Faculty Reveal Interesting Opinions
In Recent Poll Concerning Chapel Attendance

By Dorothy Weakley

Do you think there has been a decrease in chapel attendance
since chapel slips have been omitted? What do you think has
been the cause of the decrease?

Lavinia Whatley: I definitely think there has been a de-
crease. I think the reason for it is that we don't have to fill out
the chapel slip any more.

Julia Beeman: I have seen a
definite decrease in the attend-
ance particularly the seniors. How-
ever, I don't think it's because we
don't have chapel slips.

Karen Beall: I haven't noticed
too much difference. Not having
chapel slips makes it more volun-
tary and I like it, but I suppose
not having them is the basis for
the decrease in attendance.

Dee Walton: I haven't noticed
too much difference. I don't think
chapel slips had that much effect.

Dannie Reynolds: I don't see
any difference. I go just as much.

Nancy Brock: I haven't noticed
a decrease. I think a lot of the
attendance depends on the pro-
grams.

Dot Rearick: I have noticed
decreases, but I'm not sure what
the cause is. I like not having
the chapel slips.

Nancy Edwards: I can't see
much difference, but I only have
one quarter to base that on.

Judy Brown: I have noticed a
big decrease. I'm sure it is the
chapel slips and riot the programs,
because the programs haven't been
different since chapel slips were
disregarded.

Jane Stubbs: I think there has
been a big decrease in the at-
tendance. I guess doing away with
the slips has caused it.

Nancy Clark: I haven't seen
much difference in the attendance.

Margaret Rogers: If there has
been a decrease I don't think the
doing away with chapel slips has
caused it.

Kackie Eichelberger : I don't see
much difference. I do think the
better programs we have the bet-
ter the attendance will be.

Genny Lucchese: I don't know.

I haven't been to chapel lately.

Carolyn Herman: I have seen a
slight difference. I think not hav-
ing chapel slips makes the dif-
ference.

Becky Barlow: I go more since
we don't have them. I didn't ap-
prove of the chapel slips anyway.

Jane Frist: I have noticed a
definite decrease. I guess it's be-
cause we don't have chapel slips,
although I don't see that that
should make any difference.

Miss Allen: I haven't noticed
any drop in the attendance. I think
not having chapel slips is a good
thing.

Barbara Battle and Nancy
Thomas: We don't think there has
been too much decrease, if so, it
is not because of the chapel slips,
but because of poor programs.

Sarah Hall: I think there has
been a decided drop since chapel
slips have been omitted.

Miss Crigler: I don't think the
omission of chapel slips has caused
a decrease in the attendance, al-
though it may be a little too soon
to tell.

The I

naccuracy

Of It

Exam time is coming,

They soon will hit us splat!

Who will put a good grade in the student's hat?

If you don't have a good grade, a passing one will do.

If you don't have a passing one, oh boo hoo. *

There is a little thing here at this college which comes each
quarter just like exams non-activity week. The object of
this week is to see how many meetings you can call, how
many rehearsals you can attend, how many dates you can
have, how many minutes you can pack into an hour. (Highest
score on the latter so far 60.)

That's just about what it amounts to in practice.
Now let's look at the theory.

Amazing! Just the opposite! Non-activity week, according
to its founders (probably those little boys of 188 ) is a week
in which "thou shalt catch up on all thy work to the best of
thy ability, for the time is close at hand.

"And,

"Thou shalt stick to thy rooms like glue, neither attending
the meetings of any society, nor practicing in any way, shape,
or form, for any event, occurence, or thing." **

For downright common sense, it seems that the glues have
it. Wouldn't it be nice to have a whole, complete, honest-
to-gosh week in which to sit back, relax, and study for a
change?

Attention, everyone concerned:

Just for the novelty, and the sake of the founders (of N. A.
Week) let's try it this once. Therete no use having such a
thing as inactivity week, if only to make a farce of said same.

* Compliments of and regrets to dear mother (goose).

** From "My Imagination," Volume 1. C. W.

Neatness. Because

Agnes Scott is not a sloppy school. The teaching certainly
is not. No one will deny that. Nor are the buildings. We will
probably treasure mental pictures of them years later as
those handsome buildings where we lived, ate, and went to
class. Everything possible, despite last summer's drought, is
done to beautify the campus. In fact, the whole school seems
to have an unspoken motto of neatness and efficiency, and
those who make it so should receive our wholehearted praise.
There is only one slip-up in this atmosphere of "sweetness
and light."

That is the Hub. New "if" rules have just been made re-
garding the types of clothes which may be worn in the up-
stairs part of the building. The "if" means that if we use dis-
cretion and taste in our dress, we may keep the new regula-
tions. If we don't, we may lose them.

This is a plea for all who use the upstairs of the student
activity building dress as you would wish everyone else
to be dressed when you want to bring a date into the build-
ing. All types of sportswear are now in order. The only stipu-
lation is that they must be in good taste please, let's use
it. MM

Editor Wells Leads Calm Life
In Spite Of Rama Rau, 6 Labs

By Eleanor Swain

Somebody (a few million people) has said "The show must
go on." Glibly quoting this phrase, few people realize that
probably it originally and much more appropriately read
'The paper must come out." If the drama fiend who sub-
stituted the word "show" for "paper" had realized the roller-
eluding 6 labs.

Our editor, who plans to go to
graduate school at Emory next
year, is a member of Chi Beta Phi
and of Mortar Board. Her time
has been further occupied by a
two year term on AA Board and
by playing Hockey, basketball,
and softball for four years. Also
as a preparation for her present
job, Carolyn served as an assist-
ant editor of the "News."

Among her greatest recent
thrills Carolyn lists "getting even
with that roach, Lucchese, for the
nasty things she has done to me
in lab, by exposing her life story,"
(see last week's issue.) Another
exciting event was Carolyn's trip
to Europe last summer to live with
her sister in Frankfort. She warns
all prospective European travelers
that it's cold' in that country!

The Editor also warned that
this article should not be written,
but since this column is an expose
of campus leaders, it is only fair
that she too undergo the bright
lights. Besides it gives this writer
a chance to thank her for being
a forgiving, hardworking, and
above all, understanding editor.

coaster risks and highwire ten-
sions involved in publishing even
a small daily or weekly sheet he
would never have monkeyed with
this cliche.

Why, the journalistic obstacles
involved in producing that popu-
lar sheet, The Agnes Scott "News"
are enough to make a strong-
stomached scientist turn green at
times. That is why Carolyn Wells,
a biology major, thank goodness,
has survived a year as editor of
the "News".

This type-eating (not really)
girl editor is courageously calm
even in the face of assistant edi-
tors with Monday evening droops
who can't write headlines even
when awake; she never is upset by
pictures that don't come out and
leave gaping granite quarry holes
on the front page; and she doesn't
panic at the most tragic necessity
of fitting Rama Rau into head-
lines for six weeks in a row. To

Carolyn Wells

those of you who do not realize
the significance of this point I
must explain that you cannot use,
in a headline, Rau without Rama
or Rama without Rau.

Seriously our Agnes Scott
"News" editor has really been
filling a demanding campus po-
sition in addition to her scientific
studies. This quarter, which she is
"living to get through" Carolyn
is taking 18 hours of classes in-

Hammersehlopen, Whale, Roach, Pee Wee
Set Student In Panic With Surprise Visit

By Lucchese

This week we plunge gaily into a series of articles entitled
"Things We Shall Always Remember About Our Carefree
College Daze." We shall begin with a recurring incident that
needs no introduction, The Weekend That Strange Boy Came
in town and had to get dates for t please fix up his Buddies with real

all his hideous friends.

A week-end of this type usual-
ly begins on the proceeding Wed-
nesday when a letter addressed in
an unfamiliar scrawl comes tumb-
ling out of your mail box. You
glance at the return address.
Hmmm. G. Walter Hammerschl-
open.

Now, who could G. Walter . . .
Oh. Oh NO!!- Not "Noodle Nose"
Hammclschlopen who fractured
three of your left toes, dislocated
your right ankle, and managed
to keep you away from that geor-
for the big formal up at Blankety-
geous blind date Roomie got you
Blank College last quarter. Well,
G. Walter's flowing script informs
you that he and three of his good
buddies, Pee Wee, Whale, and
The Roach, would sure like to
come up (or over, or down) to
Atlanta next week-end and could
he please date you and would you

Queens.

Now if you are thinking clearly
when you receive a letter like the
aforementioned, you will immed-
iately recall that G. Walter was a
Horrible Experience and you will
sit down and write a little note
saying that you are sorry, but
you have six quizes, four papers
and a book report due next week
so you think you had better study
but for him to please try to come
again when he can let you know a
little sooner, and please tell Pee
Wee, Whale and The Roach Hello
for you?

But chances are you're dateless
for the weekend and you
remind yourself of the possibility
that through G. Walter Hammer-
schlopen, you may meet THE
ONE, so you write him to come
full speed ahead.

You endow Pee Wee, Whale,
and The Roach with "Real Good

Personalities" and put them up
for the highest bidder. You Lose.
There are no bidders. But finally
three of your good friends (also
feeling the man power shortage)
agree to help you out. However,
Friend I states:

"When the boys come, I will not
go over to Main unless somebody
else goes first and comes back to
tell me whether I should wear
flats or my Baby Louies." Friend
II says:

"If Whale is the size implied by
the subtle symbolism of his name,
we have to go somewhere dark so
no one will know whom I am
with." Friend III informs you
"Well, I really shouldn't be do-
ing this favor because you forgot
to get that book out of the library
for me last Saturday afternoon."

Finally, however, the boys ar-
rive, and contrary to all Roman-

tic notions, G. Walter (Noodle
Nose) Hammerschlopen hasn't
changed a bit, and the respective
personalities of Pee Wee, Whale,
and The Roach are anything but
"real good".

However, an evening like this
inevitably has a most interesting
aftermath. Whale will fall madly
for Friend I (who dated Pee Wee)
and he will write her as soon as
he gets back to school. Friend III
will fall madly for Hammersch-
lopen and they, too, will begin to
correspond furiously.

This leaves you, Friend II, Pee
Wee and The Roach, to return to
your respective corners, and be
reassorted.

However, you can always chalk
something like this up to exper-
ience.

(P. S. Pooh, pooh, to Wells girl
girl girl protoplasm indeed).

Hottentots Travel to Sewanee;
Others Enjoy Weekend Here

Vivian Hays

So much on this week-end that I am tempted to just put the where
and who and leave out the in-between narrative. Off for the Uni-
versity of the South were Judy Brown, Joy Nash, Ces Rudisill, Nancy
Thomas, and Barbara Sinclair. The dental school had a fling at
Peachtree Gardens and invited Ethel Edwards, Virginia Jakeman,
Blythe Posey, and Louise Law.

Seen dancing amid an array of orchids at the ATO-Emory Winter
Formal were: Jan Hill, Sara Townsend, .Louisa Allen, and yours
truly. The Emory Chi Phi's had their Formal at the Biltmore and
among the dates from ASC were Katy Blondeau, Karen Beall, and
Nellie Strickland.

Snapfinger was the setting for the Kappa Sig party Saturday night.
Dating Emory boys for this affair were Julia Beeman, Donna Walk-
up, and Mary Ann Wilhelmi. Nancy Nixon, Patsy Chastain, and
Tunshy Kwilecki went to Athens for a Kappa Sig dance there.

The Tech KA's Winter Formal at the Naval Officers' Club was a
big success so say Lillian Null, Susan Foxworth, Harriet Hampton,
and Margie Hill. I'm sure that the Emory KAs didn't get cold on
their house party up at Lakemont. The following gals were lucky
enough to arrive back unfrozen: Virginia Ferris, Cemele Miller, and
Frances Patterson.

I'm glad all you kids had so much fun this week-end and I hope
yo' po' tired dancing feet recover in time for the big dances next
week-end.

It is Christian liberal educa-

Juniors Capture Championship;
Dean, Allen Lead Team Victory

By Keo Keller

Two champions were crowned for the 1955 basketball sea-
son last Friday as the Junior A and Sophomore B teams
both completed their schedules with undefeated records. The
Juniors closed their season with a 53-29 victory over the
Seniors, while the Sophomores added a 33-12 victory over the
Freshmen to their unblemished

record.

Mary Dean, managing the pivot
spot with unusual dexterity, led
the juniors to victory with a total
of 25 points. The whole junior
offense functioned exceptionally
well with quick passes and excel-
lent timing. Louisa Allen followed
in the point totals with 22.

May Muse was again the de-
fensive stalwart for the juniors,
using her height to best advantage
in rebounding. Dora Wilkinson
and Barbara Battle, both of
whom played the whole game,
were effective in preventing the
senior forwards from working the
ball in under the basket and
forcing them to shoot from out-
side.

High scorer for the losing
seniors was Mary Alice Kemp
who garnered 17 markers in an
exceptional display of fancy
shooting. After a slow first
quarter, the senior offense made
a second quarter splurge which
nearly caught the juniors. Mickey
Scott added 8 points to the senior
total.

Heading the senior defense,
which committed only two fouls
in the entire game, was Donna
McGinty, whose ball hawking

kept the junior forwards off bal-
ance. Aiding Donna on defense
were Carolyn Wells and Margaret
Williamson.

An amazing scoring splurge by
Jackie Murray led the sophomore
B's to their undefeated season.
Bucketing all but one of her
team's points in the first half,
Jackie finished with a total of 22
markers.

A well-rounded defense held
the aggressive frosh forwards in
check. Martha Aiken displayed
unusual rebounding ability while
Keo Keller and Doug Pittman
helped keep the frosh forwards
off-balance in shooting.

Joy Thomas led the frosh at-
tack with seven points, sparking
a third quarter drive by the year-
lings. Defensive stalwarts were
Caro McDonald, Ann Akerman
and Nancy Grayson, all of whom
proved to be good rebounders.

Battles for second place posi-
tions in both divisions will high-
light the final games this Friday.
In A team action, the sophomores
and freshmen will tangle with the
winner gaining sole possession of
second place while the junior B's
will be seeking the same place as
they meet the winless seniors.

IRC

The week of Feb. 20 was a big
one for IRC for they presented
two exceptional speakers. At the
regular meeting time on Feb. 24,
Dr. Alec Robertson of the British
Consulate spoke on "English Trade
Policy with Russia and China".
Members of the debating team
were particularly interested in
this very timely topic. As a spec-
ial treat Dr. Joseph R. Fiszmann
spoke in the Hub on Feb. 26. His
topic "The Struggle for Power
in Russia" is of special significance
in these weeks. Dr. Fiszmann
spoke on our campus at a Convo-
cation last year and was so highly
regarded that this return visit has
been arranged. The club plans to
have copies of his talk mimeo-
graphed for any who are interest-
ed.

Organ Guild

On their return from spring
holidays the Organ Guild plans an
outing for Friday, March 25. They
will inspect the four new organs
in the Atlanta area and then will
have dinner.

Blackfriars

Blackfriars takes special pleas-
ure in announcing a group of three
one-act plays to be given for the

direction of Helen Jo Hinchey, and
a reading of Barrie's popular "The
Twelve-Pound Look" under the di-
rection of Mary Jo Carpenter.
Bible Club

The Bible Club and the church-

Margaret Williamson, president of the 1955 chapter of Mortar
Board, presents the gavel to incoming president Guerry Fain.
Guerry was tapped last night to head the 1956 chapter of HOASC,
the members of which will be announced next quarter.

Mortar Board Selects Junior
To Lead 55- 5 6 Honor Group

The 1955 chapter of Mortar Board tapped Guerry Fain last
night to head the 1955-56 chapter. Guerry, a junior from At-
lanta, Ga., has proven her ability to excel in leadership,
scholarship, and service.

This year she has been the vice-chairman of Orientation,
and has served on Exec. Last year
she was Secretary of Orientation,
and the president of the Metho-
dist group. She has been on Hon-
or Roll. Guerry is a member of
Dolphin club.

The HOASC chapter's method
of choosing a president is very
different from that of most chap-
ters of Mortar Board. The presi-
dents of other groups throughout
the nation are usually chosen by
the incoming chapter. By that
method, 'however, the president of
Mortar Beard may also hold an-
other campus office.

The purpose of the Agnes Scott
System is to make the president
of Mortar Board ineligible for
other major positions in order
that she may devote all of her
energies to the principal office
for which she has .been selected.

The other members of the 1955-
56 chapter will be revealed in
April.

Second Azalea Win Preludes
Grand National Participation

Dorothy Reariek

Pi Alpha Phi and Agnes Scott's debaters have scored again!
Returning from the annual Azalea tournament held at Spring
Hill College in Mobile, February 17-19, Jean Gregory, Jo-
anne Miklas, Sallie Greenfield, and Gracie Greer bring a
handsome trophy and new honors to Agnes Scott.

Debating on the topic "Resolv

ed: the United States should ex-
tend diplomatic recognition to the
Communist government of China,"
the Agnes Scott team competed
with debaters from eleven other
colleges and universities, including
Notre Dame, Georgetown, Kentuc-
ky, Florida State, Loyola, and Em-
ory. Our team won eight out of
twelve matches to capture first
place in the tournament for the
second consecutive year, a feat
never before accomplished by any
school. Individual honors went to
Sallie Greenfield and Gracie Greer,
who were ranked second and third
respectively among the debaters
taking part in the tournament:

Jean Gregory and Joanne Mik-
las formed the affirmative team
for Agnes Scott, with Sallie and
Gracie debating the negative side
of the issue. The teams participat-
ed in four rounds on the 18th and
two on the 19th of February. The
tournament appeared to be defini-
tely a negative one, showing a to-
tal of thirty-eight negative wins
to twenty-two affirmativies.

Driving to Mobile for the tour-
nament, the foursome stayed at
the Battle House Hotel and were
able to see many of the Mardi Gras
festivities. The big parade passed
right beneath their window. Of
special interest to Jean and Sallie
was the Mardi Gras Ball.

The Azalea tournament is but
the latest event in what has been a
busy and fruitful year for Pi Alpha
Phi. On November 18th and 19th
last fall, Vera Williamson, Sallie
Greenfield, Jean Gregory, Joanne
Miklas and Mary Jones partici-
pated in a discussion tournament
at the University of Alabama. Jo-
anne received the only "excellent"
rating given there.

Agnes Scott was represented at
the West Georgia tournament lat-
er in the year by the same team
that competed in the Azalea tour-
nament. Here, Jean and Joanne,
affirmative, made up the only un-
defeated team in the competition.
Agnes Scott's team took second
place in the tournament, while Jo-
anne and Sallie received individual
first and third place ratings res-
pectively. N

January 14th and 15th marked
the Eighth Annual All-Southern
Debate Tournament held on our
campus.

On March 11th and 12th, Sal-
lie and Joanne will participate in
the regional debate tournament at
Emory. During spring quarter
Gracie and Joanne will journey to
Fredericksburg, Virginia to com-
pete in the grand nationals.

Tryouts for Pi Alpha Phi are

scheduled for March 29th and 30th,
and an intensive training program
will begin to prepare next year's
debaters to uphold the many hon-
ors this years team has won.

The Unseen Audience

Miss Absentia Scott and community:

During the past few months your presence has been missed
,at student and faculty programs which have been held on the
campus. No one has ever had to exert any effort to find a
seat at most of these activities. In fact, recently it has looked
like the Agnes Scott community has been absent "en masse."

Although you are not required to attend these programs,
and have voluntary cuts, you have cut too much in the past.

Your privilege of cutting cannot be taken away from you,
but something else can be a profitable evening or after-
noon of entertainment and enjoyment.

Attendance at these piograms is your duty. Much time has
gone into their preparation. It is most discouraging to the per-
former to appear before an audience of twenty people. You
may sit in your room and think about Mary on the stage,
but your thoughts will not take their place in a seat. Only
you can do this.

In the future, let us decrease our cutting of these student
and faculty programs, and let it not be said the Agnes Scott
students and faculty "in absentia." D. W.

Night Watchman Jones Serves ASC 20 Years,
Possesses Outstanding Ability To Judge People

Dorothy Weakley

"The night watchman, standing somewhere in the shadows,
discreetly looked the other way . . . the night watchman
stepped out of the shadows to see me safely into the dormi-
tory. He walked along, his flashlight bobbing, his huge bunch
of keys jangling, solemnly agreeing that leave-takings were

sometimes hard.'

This same night watchman of
whom Catherine Marshall has
written in her book "A Man Call-
ed Peter", has "discreetly looked
the other way" many times, and
has seen many an Agnes Scott girl
safely to her dormitory. Almost
every girl who has come to Agnes
Scott in the last 20 years has
known this night watchman as
her friend "Mr. Jones."

However, most Agnes Scott stu-
dents probably graduate not know-
ing the duties of Mr. R. Mell
Jones, campus night watchman.
In fact, Mr. Jones gets a laugh
out of girls coming in at 2 in the
morning after a dance and saying
to him, "Oh, I hate to keep you
up so late." Certainly his duties
are more than escorting girls to
the dorm after a late-permission
party and tapping on a car win-
dow.

Generally, his hours are from 6
p. m. until 7 a. m. During this
time, assisted by Mr. Albert R.
Johnson, regular night-watchman,
and Mr. Woodrovv Broadwell, re-
lief night watchman, they see that
the campus is well protected. Some
of the duties include seeing that
all buildings are locked, seeing
that dates leave on time, watch-
ing for strangers who appear on

campus without reason, and check-
ing for fire in all of the buildings.
After midnight they make hourly
rounds over the campus, and
punch a night watchman's clock
which has several stations located
over the campus.

One of the very outstanding
characteristics of Mr. Jones is
his ability to judge people. He has
a keen perception as to who "be-
longs" on the campus and who is
really a "stranger". Mr. Jones is
also remarkable in his way of
handling all types of people in va-
rious situations. He is always fair,
yet his manner is firm.

For seven years now Mr. Jones
has had a helper by the name of
Casman Domat Bonus or better
known to the campus as "Nussin".
"Nussin" is Mr. Jones' 150-pound
Briard, which is a French breed,
and there are very few in the
United States. After the dormi-
tories are locked Nussin makes
hourly rounas. Unlike police dogs,
he is very calm, and will not both-
er any girls, but will bark if
strange men come around after
midnight. He also takes care of
any stray cats or dogs that invade
the campus during the night.

Since coming here 20 years ago,
Mr. Jones has seen many changes.
For example, he used to pull a

master switch at 10:30 p. m. which
turned out all of the lights in the
main dormitory. He has also seen
the threat of a panty raid, at
which time he worked 7 straight
nights, 14 hours a night.

Mr. Jones lives on the campus
on McDonough street with his wife
who is suffering from a. long ill-
ness, and a daughter, Jean, 15.
He has another daughter, Peggy,
and a son, Bobby, who are married.

The entire Agnes Scott com-
munity owes much to Mr. Jones,
and is fortunate in having a per-
son of such understanding, wise
judgment, and dependability as a
"watch in the night."

The International Relations

The Vote's The Thing

It's almost THAT time the time when the ballot box
looms on the horizon. Elections. But before our blood pres-
sures rise too many degrees, let's pause and decide what
election really means.

For seniors it means rest, for freshmen, it means an initi-
ation into a system of choosing campus leaders on the basis,
in most respects, of ability to lead and to serve, to sopho-
mores and juniors, it means that difficult task of deciding
between good friend and good friend.

For everyone it should be a time of serious thought and
prayerful consecration to the task of putting aside personal
prejudice and favoritism, a time when thought, not talk,
should decide the vote.

The retiring senior leaders offer two aids to initiate and
guide serious thought. Vital statistics can be a beginning;
it can suggest the names to fill the initial vacuum created
by the question "Who?" It is presented, not as an answer,
but as something with which to start.

Then the day after nominations next quarter, the sug-
gestions of a nominating committee will be posted, a nomin-
ating committee of seniors whose duty it has been to serve
the campus this past year as presidents, vice presidents, ed-
itors, and business managers of the major organizations and
publications. The members are seniors who have worked
with under-classmen on the organizations, and who, because
of their experience in trying to coordinate the various activ-
ities, know, at least as well as most students, the qualifica-
tions, tangible and intangible, for the office holders.

Nominating committee does not, however, pretend to be
infallible. Its members have sincerely tried to free them-
selves from personal considerations in making their choices,
but they just as sincerely recognize their inability to rise
entirely above their personalities. Neither do members of
the nominating committee claim to know each girl on cam-
pus well, to know her abilities and her potentialities. So it
is that nominating committee suggestions are withheld until
after popular nominations, so that the student body may,
without that influence, suggest other possible leaders.

In thinking of and planning for elections, may we avoid
"pressure politics," may we take these two guides seriously,
but not as an infallible rule, and may we realize that there
are at least two girls who can fill an office well. And above
all may we keep in mind that THE PRIVILEGES OF SERV-
ICE AND LEADERSHIP CANNOT BE VOTED AWAY

Be Kind To Your Lab Laden Pal
For This Girl May Be Somebody

By One (G L)

Girls, be kind to your friends
The Science Majors. Their chosen
path is a hard one, and their prob-
lems are many.

They were once happy, well ad-
justed, normal-type girls, but they
lost, see. They took the road less
traveled by and that has made
all the difference.

When you think of a Science
Major, what picture flashes
through your mind? A pale shadow
gliding past you in the Friday af-
ternoon lunchline muttering "Sor-
ry, I have a lab ..." a frantic
figure collapsed on a sofa in the
HUB moaning "Something went
wrong I have to do the whole
thing over ..." a wild-eyed
group bracing themselves for an
oncoming quiz shouting "Didn't
you copy down that reaction eith-
er? Y'all. we've had it."

Be kind to them, girls. When
they stagger out of their various
labs at 6:00 p. m. and converge on
the dining hall, they know they do
not smell like Chanel No. 5, but
formaldehyde, and chloroform and
Oderiferous Unknowns do not re-
act with baby powder and Jer-
gens Lotion. These girls are sen-
sitive about their smells, so be
charitable.

Once, these girls, like you, also
combed their hair, possessed clean
fingernails, and thought of the op-
posite sex as other than interest-
ing cases. Once they could enjoy
a drumstick without looking for
the chicken's Glutinus maximus,
and they could joyously eat mush-
rooms without exclaiming "HA!
Basidiomycetes!" Try to be pa-
tient with them.

Rooming with a Science Major
is a Rare Treat. Ask Margaret
Rodgers, Alice Nunnaly, Mollie
Pritchard, Joanne McCarthy, Pat
Hale, or Peggy Phieffer for first
hand, information.

Also, Science Majors are inter-
esting to be with. They can sing
songs like "There's No Ology Ma-
jor Like a Zoology Major" and
they can tell you exactly what to
expect Crom a bacteria's fionteria.
And they know all sorts of in-
teresting, entertaining little tricks
which they are constantly playing
on one another, i.e. a tuning fork,
carefully chilled, and applied (vi-
brating, of course) to the back of
unspecting Friend's neck will pro-
duce a most interesting reaction.
And also, a sudden pressure on
the eyeball immediately stops all
heartbeats. (This is valuable
knowledge if somone is luring

Dolphin Club Ballet
Thrills Big Crowds

Jo Sawyer

The Agnes Scott Dolphin Club
outdid itself in originality and
swimming ability with its presen-
tation of the water ballet "Story
of a Starry Night."

The group numbers, duets, trios,
and quartets showed precision and
unusual swimming skills that
come only with long, hard prac-
tice. The three group numbers,
"Blues in the Night", "Orchids in
the Moonlight," and "Time on My
Hands", displayed front and back
dolphins, surface dives, and ballet
legs in almost 'perfect precision
and skill, which is hard to do with
five or six people. The duets, "Lar-
go" and "Was It a Dream", match-
ed swimmers of similar swimming
form which resulted in a unifying
effect. Katherine Keyton and Bet-
ty Carmichael executed a difficult
stroke with ease and skill as they
performed an across waltz crawl
down the center of the pool. "Deep
Purple" the one trio number was
most effective with the red lights
shinning on the hands and legs of
the swimmers as they formed a
star. "Stardust" and 'Night and
Day", performed by quartet groups
displayed intricate stunts such
as the porpoise and the water
wheel. Jane Gaines executed her
solo "Jealousy" with gracefulness
and ease. She performed a diffi-
cult feet first dolphin with perfec-
tion.

Each number was full of origi-
nal strokes and stunts, but more
originality was displayed in the
setting of the group numbers such
as "Orchids in the Moonlight." The
flower float contained real orchids
and mums. The wrist corsages
worn by the swimmers were a
donation by the florist who made
the float. The lighting certainly
helped to set the scene for this
beautiful number.

During a brief intermission be-
tween numbers, Harriet Talmadge
appeared as an Agnes Scott alum-
na clad in a black bathing suit,
typical of the twenties, and a hair-
do featuring white net and an
enormous red rose. She succeeded
in getting laughs from the audi-
ence as she circled the pool ex-
claiming with horror at the chan-
ges made since her days, at Agnes
Scott.

For the first time the Dolphin
Club presented the water ballet
two nights. From the size of the
crowds they drew those nights, a
third night would have been very
successful too.

The Dolphin Club's hard work
resulted in a fine performance
which was enjoyed a great deal by
everyone tnat attended the show.

Strange Case of

mm

HERE was once a young fellow who
'decided skiing was as easy as driving

a car on snow-covered roads.
So one day he stepped into his new ski$
atop a slope, and pushed off. His friends
were aghast! Such confidence!
He knew little or nothing about the rules
of skiing how to turn how to stop-
how to use his poles and edges.
What happened? That's right.

He ran smack into a large tree.
.Everybody on the slope said he

should learn the rules of skiing

before taking such chances}
But nobody mentioned that neither he
nor most of them knew or practiced
the rules of winter driving;.
Doesn't that seem awfully foolish and

childish when you think of the terriblej
death toll from winter traffic accidents?
Just in ca$e, here are the six rules*.

SAFE DRIVING
IS A MARK OF MATURITY

Contributed as a public service by

THE AGNES SCOTT NEWS

Perhaps the case of the foolhardy skier is a bit out of season. But
the principle of the matter remains. Three of the six rules of winter
driving, at least, can apply for year round common sense of the
highway. At all times while behind the wheel of a car, accept your
responsibility. It is great. Keep your windshield clear. Dust from
country roads, spattered insects, and general gunk are as detri-

mental to clear vision as frost and snow. And follow at a safe
distance. No matter how good the road, or how excellent the brakes,
bumper-to-bumper driving is risky business. The death toll is terrible
in all seasons of the year for death is always terrible. Do be
careful.

Campus Sparkles With Jewels,
Cuties Return From Conquests

Judy Brown

Agnes Scott has become quite a bejeweled school lately. Three
Sigma Chi pins have just made their appearance with Jean Dbnaldson,
Beverly Jenson, and Joyce Thomas the three girls wearing them. Al
Coldwell has a KA pin from Tech. An especially sparkling room in
Rebekalv houses Pat Singley and Marty Black, roommates who both
have recently received engagement rings. Others with newly acquired
gems are Mary Hobby Mills and Laura Dryden. Mary Hobby is now
the sponsor of Phi Delta Theta at Emory, while .Laura was just
chosen the Emory Beta's sponsor.

Speaking of Beta, the Betas of Tech held their house party this
weekend. At the affair were Nancy Fraser, Anise Gann, Margaret
Minter, Gloria Calhoun, May Muse, and Nancy Wheeler. Also a J
Tech was the Lamba Chi house dance Saturday which attracted
Libby Hanson, Joanne Smith T, Penny Smith, and Angeline Pope.

Friday was Skitsafrenia Night at Emory. Louisa Allen, Eve Herriott,
Louise Rycon, and Nancy Glasure were among the laughing audience.
The Campus club sponsored the event with Diana Carpenter, who is
their sweetheart, "on hand to lend a hand." The Delts had a house
dance a la combo after the skits were over. Memye Curtis and Louise
Rainey were there. The same night saw Claire Tritt at the Phi Chi
formal.

Some left the campus for "greener pastures" this weekend. And
the last two carloads headed up North Carolina way. Eleanor Swain
trouped up to Chapel Hill for the Phi Kappa Sigma formal while
Sara Davis, Jane Moore, and Margie Hill made the trip to Davidson
for Mid-Winters.

A batch o' ladies went to Auburn for IFC. Mary Ann Warnell,
Mary Frances Wilson, Nancy Hale, Susie Ware, and Nancy Edwards
were the ones down in War-Eagle territory. Nancy Edwards found the
weekend most worth-while as she came back sporting v an ATO pin.

For any on the campus who aren't bejeweled the Hope diamond is
still intact so there's still Hope! Humble apologies for this last
sentence.

In the final game of the regular
season, the Freshman A's dumped
the Sophomores to gain undisputed
possession of second place in the A
basketball standings, behind the
undefeated Juniors. The defeat
dropped the sophs to third place
with a 1-3 record with the winless
Seniors bringing up the rear.

Spectacular shooting was dis-
played by the Freshmen in their
69-41 triumph over the Sophs.
Hazel Ellis led all scorers with 26
points while teammates Nancy
Kimmel and Becca Fewell added
8 and 16 points respectively to
the frosh victory.

The sophomore offense which
was off its usual form was led by
Doris Musgrave who swished the
nets for 23 points. Jeanine Fra-
part and Jean Porter were defen-
sive stalwarts.

In a post-season challenge match
the undefeated Juniors proved
their domination over the other
classes as they defeated the
Freshmen, 70-62. Louisa Allen
maintained her 30 plus per game
average with a total of 33 points
for high scoring honors. Leading
the frosh were Hazel Ellis and
Nancy Kimmel with 29 and 22
points respectively.

chores for the ASC varsity were
handled by Donna McGinty and
Martha Myers.

Basketball varsity competition
also stepped up the activities of
the "Badminton Ten" as both La-
Grange and Atlanta Division of
University of Georgia provided
matches in that sport. In each
match, the Scotties emerged vic-
torious.

Against LaGrange, Ann McKel-
vie took singles honors while Jo
Ann Beasley and Mary Hobby Mills
heightened Scotties prestige with
a doubles victory. Against Atlanta
Division, Jo Sawyer and Celeste
Rogers teamed up to take a Dou-
bles win.

An innovation in badminton com-
petition was held last Wednesday
when the members of the team
played a group of faculty in a

ulty members who participated
were Dr. Hayes, Miss Boney, Miss
Trotter, Miss Barr, Miss Ashley,

^o Sawyer. The doubles tourna-
ment has also reached the semi-

The Atlanta Civic Ballet will
present a varied program in three
performances March 11 and 12 at
the Tower Theatre. Evening per-
formances Friday and Saturday-
will begin at 8:30 and the Satur-
day matinee at 3 o'clock.

The program will mark the de-
but of three new ballets, "Dal-
liance", * "Les Sylphides", and
"Fireworks Suite", and will also
include a repeat performance of
last year's "Never Dies the
Dream". The matinee, which is
especially planned for children,
will feature the Apprentice Com-
pany in "Hansel and Gretel" and
"Barn Dance". The senior com-
pany will be seen in "Fireworks."

Zachary Solov, director of the
Metropolitan Opera Ballet, was
the choreographer for "Dalliance",
which portrays sophistication and
innocence in Viennese romance to
the music of "Die Fledermaus"
by Johann Strauss. The traditional
white ballet, "Les Sylphides", is in
the repertory of every major bal-
let in the world today. The chore-
ography by Michael Fokine is to
music by Frederic Chopin.

"Fireworks Suite" is a show
piece designed to evoke the spark-
ling spirit of fireworks through
the fusion of music and movement.
Music for this new ballet was es-
pecially composed by Hugh Hodg-
son, who will be the pianist with
the seventeen piece orchestra at
both evening performances. The
orchestra will be under the baton
of John Iuelle, assistant conductor
of the Atlanta Symphony Orches-
tra. Choreography is by Dorothy
Alexander, director of the ballet.
Costumes were designed by Nancy
Lochridge, and settings are by
Joel Reeves, well known Atlanta
artist.

"Never Dies the Dream", based
on legends of the Louisiana
Bayou country, was choreograph-
ed by Hildegarde Bennett, co-di-
rector of the Atlanta Civic Bal-
let Company. Costumes are by
Margaret Shepherd.

The matinee will feature both
the Atlanta and the Decatur ap-
prentice companies, assisted by the
senior company of the Civic Bal-

Fast-breaking Louisa Allen
scored a total of 26 points last
Friday afternoon to spark the Ag-
nes Scott team to a 43-32 victory
over a staunch Atlanta Division
six.

Both teams displayed hard, fast
playing and excellent teamwork
throughout the entire game. The
first half was strictly a battle be-
tween the two strong defenses who
succeeded in hindering their re-
spective opponents 'to such an ex-
tent that little progress in scor-
ing was made by either side, and
the half ended with a low tie, 13-
13.

The forwards captured the lime-
light in the third quarter and ra-
pid and repeated netting on both
sides shot the score up to 32-22,
Scott leading.

Martha 'Myers was the stand-
out for the Scott defense, while
Marie Shulter led the three stal-
wart Atlanta Division guards.
Bobby Lou Jarret racked up a to-
tal of 22 points for the losers.

It's been quite a while now
since the first talks of rearming
Germany began. There have been
high hopes and fallen hopes,
bright moments and gloomy times.
From the wires of the United
Press comes the latest addition
to the argument:

"Paris, Sunday, March 27. The
French Senate gave final approval
to the rearmament of West Ger-
many today by a show of hands.

"The action cleared the last
major stumbling block from plac-
ing 500,000 German troops in a
European defense force to deal
with any possible Communist
aggression.

"By approving the agreement
setting up a Western European
Union, France also paved the way
for an early meeting between the
Western powers and Russia.

"Premier Edgar Faure had
told the French senate that one
of the rewards for prompt rati-
fication of the West German re-
armament treaties would be a
Big Four conference with Russia
'in the shortest possible time' (I
wonder how many years that is ? )

"Both President Eisenhower
and British Prime Minister Win-
ston Churchill have proposed the
holding of a Big Four meeting
as soon as the German rearma-
ment treaties are ratified by all
the countries concerned."

The proposal has been approved
by Britain, West Germany, and
Italy, and the additional approval
of Holland, Belgium, and Luxem-
bourg is expected to come quick-
ly as a result of the French ac-
tion.

The fight to rearm West Ger-
many has come a long way since
the beginning, with France being
Mister Indiicision all the way.
With this country's approval in
hand, perhaps the proposal will
go somewhere now.

Agnes Scott, Emory Glee Clubs Will Perform
Mozart Mass in Joint Concert Saturday Night

By Dorothy Rearick

Saturday night, April 2nd at 8:00 o'clock, the Agnes Scott and Emory glee clubs will
appear in a joint concert in Gaines Chapel. The chorus of over one hundred voices will
be directed by Miss Roxie Hagopian and accompanied at the organ by Mr. Raymond
Martin. Mozart's "Requiem Mass" will be the featured number.
This concert, the first of its kind in the history of either Agnes Scott or Emory, will be

Agnes Scott Plans Debate
Against Harvard Apr. 4

Agnes Scott will have an ex-
hibition debate with Harvsyd
University on Monday, April 4,
at 3:00 p. m. in Maclean audi-
torium.

The public is invited to the
debate and the campus com-
munity is urged to attend.

repeated April 15th on the Emory
campus during the Emory Spring
Festival of Music. Dr. Malcolm
Dewey, director of the Emory
Glee Club, will conduct the mixed
chorus in this performance. Both
concerts are open free of charge
to students and to the public, al-
though tickets must be procured
for the Emory performance.

The "Requiem Mass" stands
out as one of the finest in musi-
cal literature.

This work was composed during
the last few weeks of Mozart's
life, under secret commission of
a certain Count von Walsegg, who
wished himself to be known as
a great composer and proposed
to pass off the composition as his
own. At Mozart's death, four of
the twelve numbers, comprising
the Mass were unfinished. The
widow of the composer per-
suaded Francois Xavier Suss-
mayer, a pupil of Mozart, to com-
plete the composition. This was
done, a copy sent to Count von

Walsegg, and tne work performed
and published without an inti-
mation of Sussmayer's share in
the work.

In 1839, the original score of
the Mass was recovered by the
Imperial Library at Vienna. It
was at once pronounced by relia-
ble judges to be throughout in
Mozart's handwriting, thus estab-
lishing the fact that Mozart had
really completed the Requiem.
Many doubters refused to accept
this judgment, declaring that
Sussmayer's handwriting was re-
markably similar to that of Mo-
zart, and that all evidence pointed
to the great composer's death
before the completion of the
work. A comprehensive investi-
gation was touched off as a re-
sult, ending at last in a conclu-
sive detection of the forgery.

Two facts on record make it
appear that Sussmayer may
have possessed some of Mozart's
original ideas regarding the final
portion of the Requiem. Mozart's

Phi Beta Kappa Names Twelve
To Membership of Beta Chapter

Phi Beta Kappa named twelve new members this morn-
ing after an address by Dr. Ellen Douglass Leyburn, associ-
ate professor of English, and president of the Beta Chapter
of Georgia. Dr. Elizabeth Crigler, associate professor of
chemistry, and secretary of the chapter, read the names

of the girls thus honored.

The following were elected on
the basis of their superior qual-
ities of both mind and character:
Ann Allred, editor of the "Auro-
ra"; Georgia Belle Christopher,
president of Christian association;
Anne Rosselot Clayton; Constance
Curry, president of Student Gov-
ernment; Patricia Hale, chairman
of May Day; Betty Ann Jacks,
business manager of the "Sil-
houette"; Alice Nunnally, vice-
president of the senior class;
Patricia Paden, vice president of
Eta Sigma Phi; Betty Reiney,
president of the Glee club; Sue
Walker, president of Organ Guild;
Pauline Waller, vice president of
Chi Beta Phi; and Margaret Wil-
liamson, president of Mortar
Board.

Election to the Phi Beta Kappa
has never been based solely on
scholarship. The organization,
originated in 1776 at William and
Mary, Williamsburg, Va., was
fashioned that it would be a "po-

litical phenomenon, a party' only
designed for the common wield."
At the time of its origin there
was a desperate need for re-
sponsible citizens, equipped with
political understanding, who were
willing to accept civic burdens,
who were free of prejudice and
willing to forget theii* personal
interests. This need is just as
pressing today, almost three cen-
turies later, and thus it is that
scholarship alone is not the
measuring stick for members of
Phi Beta Kappa. That extra some-
thing, leadership, civic minded-
ness, character, call it what you
may, is also a most vital requisite.

The twelve scholars thus hon-
ored for their academic achieve-
ments have had cast upon them
simultaneously with their honor
a grave responsibility. The intel-
ligent civic lives of members of
Phi Beta Kappa are necessary
units in the modern plan of
civilization.

Beginning and End

One sure thing about matters in this world they all must
begin somewhere, and, as surely as there is a beginning,
there is also an end.

This time last year the present staff of this paper came
into being, mighty green behind the ears, or however the
saying goes, and perhaps a bit apprehensive over the job
o' work cut out there on the table. And now, just one measle
year later, it's time for the end, and another fresh beginning.

Every single member of the staff has done great work
this year, and we want to put the whip aside for a moment
and let them know it.

Genny, youVe been a dream! An absolute jool! That wit
of yours, both in print and out, has been nothing short of
the best. "Worse than a tumor is no sense of humor" how
true, GL, how true.

And Miss Paschal, ma'm, with you keeping those nice, neat
rows and rows of figures which incredibly come out black
in spite of your editor's extravagance, it's been so much
easier to put our baby to bed each week! A tribute to B. C.
and her fine staff of ad-go-getters. It's a fine job you've
done, and we're thanking you!

Eleanor, Dot, May, Allred, McCarthy you've written
miles and miles of headlines! Don't you wish you had a penny
ior every reject?

Listen, Miss weekly News reader: each one of these girls,
and all the others on down the line Vannie, Mary Edna,
Vivian, Judy, Keo, Stella they've worked their hearts out
each week! Deepest, most humble and sincere appreciation
is in the editor's heart for you, copy readers, head writers,
ad-getters, reporters, all.

And now just a special word to the next editor: The pres-
ent boss leaves to you a heritage. Your job is to be the center
of a finely functioning unit. May you never consider the
paper as your own it is the students'. They have elected
you to serve them, and that you must. Personally, we feel
you're just the right person for the job, and we're proud that
you have been recognized as such. Let accuracy be ever
your goal, discriminating coverage your by-word, and
patience your every prayer!

And now 'tis a wistful farewell we bid you in this, our final
few phrases as editor of the Agnes Scott "News." We could-
n't have asked for a more challenging and a more rewarding
year's work. To you, the readers, we have sincerely enjoyed
serving you, and we thank you for your praise and criticism.
We couldn't have done without either. TVyou, staff, the best
of luck and good copy to those of you who remain, and to
all of you 'thanks. C. W.

Ant Allegory

(Editor's Note: In view of the current elections, each stu-
dent is urged to dwell on these things.)

Once upon a time there was a colony of ants who lived
in the finest pseudo-gothic ant hill in the land. These ants
were very intelligent and industrious little creatures, for,
under the leadership of their premier ant and his cabinet
ants, they efficiently disected every dead beetle and carried
away, crumb by crumb, every stale doughnut that they found
in their kingdom. These delicious morsels were fed by the
noble adult ants to their beautiful infants who were to be
hand-polished into exceptional ants capable of enjoying the
lovely ant hill, well directed government, and full life built
up by their foreants.

But one day oh, tragedy of tragedies one day the pre-
mier ant lost the approval of his'fellow ants in a disagree-
ment over what should be done with the day's supply of
aphid milk. Immediately the colony president called an
election for the next day. But, unfortunately, at dawn the
next morning a scout ant reported the crash of a giant blow
fly near by. Thus it happened that only five ants came to the
election, since all the others were quite fascinated with this
new object for their labors.

The following day al-1 the ants who were not too tired
finally arrived at the polls, but none of the busy creatures
had had time to look over the list of candidates so carefully
prepared by the president. So in a burst of patriotic en-
thusiasm they elected Androcles Ant and his Antennae
Choppers, who had brilliantly led the blow fly disecting the
day before, to lead their country. Needless to say Androcles
and the Choppers knew nothing of child care and all the
little larvae perished in their beds. Now the once fine ant
hill is only a ghost mound and the potential contribution of
an efficient government and an enlightened colony of ants
is lost to the world. E. S. #

Now that Winter quarter exams
are merely a perfectly horrible
memory, we can all look back on
them and admit that THEY
COULD HAVE BEEN WORSE.
Do I hear a chorus of negative
replies to that statement? " I

However, in view of the fact
that soon we will be having pro-

has been deemed necessary to
publish a few sample exams to
let the neophytes know what it

Chairman Cuffs Will Present
Last Speaker of J955 Series;
Noted Astronomer to Lecture

The last presentation of the 1954-55 Lecture Association
series will be Dr. Harlow Shapley, noted scientist and
astronomer. He will speak Tuesday, April 12th, at 8:30 p. m.
in Presser Hall.

Dr. Shapley was born in Nashville, M issouri, and graduated
from the University of Missouri. '

Glee Clubs

He did graduate work at Prince-
ton. In 1941 he was appointed to
a position at the Wilson Observa-
tory, and in 1921, he was made
Director of the Harvard Observa-
tory. He transformed this observ-
atory and here developed a school
for astronomers. He has written
many books and papers and has
been the recipient of eleven hon-
orary degrees and such awards
as the Draper Medal and the
Pppe Pius XI Prize. Dr. Shapley
is past president of the American
Association for the Advancement
of Science, the American Acade-
my of Arts and Sciences,, and the
American Astronomical Society.

Dr. Shapley's most significant
work has been in photometry and
cosmography. He developed the
theory of the variable stars which
are the "yardsticks" of the uni-
verse. Dr. Shapley has also made
many investigations of the distri-
bution and distances of external
galaxies and has made special
studies of the nearest externa'!
galaxies. In addition, he has done
work in entomology and geology.

The "Scientific Monthly" of
March 1947 says that Dr. Shapley
"epitomizes the qualities which
men of science would wish to
possess the alert, direct, realis-
tic response to the universe as
it is and the rare power to rea-
lize it and to describe it."

The influence of the educat-

in our national life today.

It is Christian liberal educa-

Diamonds, Weddings, Sunburns
Highlight ASC Spring Holidays

By LINDA GUENTHER

Spring holidays proved most profitable lor Agnes Scott lasses in
the engagement and wedding departments and also in the acquiring
of sun tans!

Receiving their MRS degrees were Margaret Burwell, Carole Fitz-
simmons, Mary Hood, and Callie McArthur. Jane Henegar and Anne
Atkinson attended Mary's wedding, Helen Jo Hinchey traveled to
Goldsboro for Callie's ceremony, and Claire Flintom and Dora Wil-
kinson went up Charlotte way to wish Margaret well. Our best
wishes to these lovely brides!

In the engagement department, Joan Adair, Mary Evans Bristow,
Andy Smith has also had an addition on the left hand. That happy
glow is so becoming to you girls! Judy McDaniel announces a wedding
date of September 3.

Among those acquiring a Florida tan (the envy of all us "bleached"
ones) were Anna Avil, Mary Jo Carpenter, Connie Curry, Punky
Fambrough, Helen Fokes r Joarm Hall, Harriet Hampton, Vivian Hays,
M. E. Knight, Donna McGinty, Peggy McMillan, Martha Meyers,
Jane Nelson, Sarah Petty, Louise Robinson, and Suzie Ware. They
have a long start on the rest of us!

The weather conditions this weekend failed to dampen the en-
thusiasm of Liz Ansley, Nancy Brock, Yvonne Burke, Jean Clark,
Becca Fewell, Nancy Fraser, Frances Holtsclaw, Charlotte Holz-
worth, Alice Johnston, Martha Jane Morgan, Angeline Pope, Dot
Rearick, Dannie Reynolds, Dot Ripley, Frances Shepard, Rookie
Smith, Anne Terry, and Anne Wilson at the Dec Pres Retreat.

The "winter winds" blew in out-of-town visitors to see Jane Frist
and Helen Weller.

Sub-freezing temperatures produced a "real cool" time for the
Scotties attending the Miami Triad formal at Peachtree Gardens
Friday night. Seen merrily twirling were Martha Akin, Emasue Al-
ford, Karen Beall, Bopene Bogle, Anne Bullard, Sis Burns, Marty
Camp, Mary Jo Cowart, Laura Dryden, Dede Farmer, Virginia Fuller,
Ivy Furr, Catherine Giradeau, Nancy Glasure, Sallie Greenfield,
Harriet Griffin, Anne Harlee, Louise Harley, Sarah Higgins, Mary
McCorkle, Lucille McCrary. Hobby Mills, Margaret Minter, Millie
Nesbit, Nancy Niblack, Lillian Null, Caroline Phelan, Carol Pine,
Rameth Richard, Martha Riggins, Celeste Rogers, Nancy Thomas,
Sara Townsend, Mary Anne Warnell, Rosalyn Warren, and Mary
\nn Wilhelmi.

The Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo attracted many ballet lovers on
Saturday night, too numerous to mention.

Spring is in the air, and here's a preview of this Saturday's events:
the ASC-Emory Glee Club concert followed by Cotillion's Spring
Dance. Why not plan to attend?

CA Urges Holy Week Emphasis

. . . Virginia Keller

Foreign affairs have a peculiar
way of adding new names to the
American newsreader's daily vo-
cabulary. Among the newest ad-
ditions are Quemoy and Matsu
tiny islands in the Formosa
Straits.

But why so much clamor over
these bits of barren wasteland,
virtually uninhabited except for
newly constructed military bases ?
The answer lies in the relations of
the United States and the Com-
munists which have become so
strained that these islands may be
the last thread preventing a com-
plete break.

The backbone of this tension is
the conflict between the Commu-
nist and Nationalist governments
for world recognition of their su-
premacy in China. Chaing Kai-
shek, leader of the Nationalist re-
gime which is exiled in Formosa,
has repeatedly announced an in-
tention to attack the mainland and
recapture its former position.

The mainland Communist re-
gime which has definite defense
pacts with Russia regards Formosa
and its neighbors as its x^ightful
possessions. Recently, an increased
military buildup by the Commu-
nists has left little doubt that they
intend to use force to capture the
islands.

The United States position in
this quarrel is a precarious one.
It is the chief support of Chiang's
government, both militarily with
the Seventh Fleet and politically
by non-recognition of the Red
Chinese government.

Realizing the extreme Nation-
alist need for American military
support, the State Department has
discouraged any attempt by
Chiang to retake the mainland.
Any such venture would risk
thousands of American soldiers'
lives.

However, in an effect to halt
Communist aggression, the U. S.
has pledged itself to defend For-
mosa, the neighboring Tachen is-
lands, and other strategic spots.
The present controversy centers
around the "strategic" quality of
Quemoy and Matsu.

These islands, which are step-
ping stones across the Formosa
Strait, are heavily fortified Na-
tionalist bases. If captured, they
would provide much needed air
bases for direct attack on For-
mosa.

Both President Eisenhower and
Secretary of State Dulles have re-
fused to comment specifically on
the status of Quemoy and Matsu.
There are many indications that
ithe U. S. will retaliate against
any Communist attack on these is-
lands.

Because of its indefinite stand
on the question, some observers
feel that the State Department
intends to use this threat as a
basis for truce negotiations. If the
Communists believe that the U. S.

Cotillion Entertains
Students At Formal

Last Saturday evening, April
2, the Cotillion club presented its
annual spring formal, from nine to
twelve, in the Rebekah ballroom.
The theme was "April Showers",
and the ballroom was appropriate-
ly decorated with rainbow colored
umbrellas hanging from the ceil-
ing and artificial spring flowers
encircling the columns, the band-
stand, and decorating the windows
and doors.

Walt Cunningham's band of-
fered delightful dancing music
ranging from the "Charleston" to
waltz music. Punch and cookies
were served continuously through-
out the evening, and the dance was
enjoyed exceedingly by all.

Glee Clubs Render
Mozart's 'Requiem 1
For Spring Concert

By DOROTHY RK ARK K

Those attending the combined
Agnes Scott-Emory glee club per-
formance of Mozart's "Requiem"
Mass Saturday night, April 2nd,
were in for some fine music. The
mixed chorus of over one hundred
voices put forward their best
efforts in presenting the twelve
numbers of this Mass, one of the
most noted in music literature.

The work, by no means easy to
perform, was given a very credi-
table reading throughout. From
the full, rich tones of the "Re-
quiem Aeternam," (Eternal Rest)
to the passionate "Rex Tremendae
Majestatis," (O King of fearful
majesty) and the plaintive strains
of the "Hostias et Preces Tibit,"
(Sacrifice and prayers of praise
to Thee), the group rendered a
spirited and sympathetic treat-
ment. The resolute "Agnus Dei,"
(Lamb of God), the final number
of the Mass, was exceptionally
well performed.

The soloists for the evening:
Carolyn Crawford, soprano, Vera
Williamson, contralto, Tom Calla-
han, tenor, and John Arnold, bass,
deserve special recognition. Their
quartet work was commendable
and well polished.

Credit is due Miss Roxie Hago-
pair, who directed the chorus, and
Raymond Martin, organist. The
two glee club, each well-known and
worthy of praise in its own right,
were artistically molded into one
for the inspiring performance.

This same concert will be pre-
sented at Glenn Memorial on
April 15h, with Emory's Dr.
Malcolm H. Dewey directing the
combined chorus. There will be
no admission charge, but tickets
must be procured in advance for
the performance.

Mrs. Alston, Miss Wilburn, Miss
Ashley, and Dr. and Mrs. Stukes
were present as guests of Cotil-
former representative lion club.

2 # THE AGNES SCOTT NEWS Wednesday, April 6 7 1955

Policy

Your green, just-hatched "News" staff wishes to humbly
thank the members of the Agnes Scott community for their
show of confidence in our recently elected selves. A little
scared and quite in awe of our new duties, we recognize
the importance of living up to the traditions founded by our
predecessors and keeping the campus news organ in good
running order.

Working under the time worn campus handicap of "so
much to do and so little time, ,, we shall try to cut short our
learning period and direct our energies toward the realiza-
tion of these objectives:

L To give accurate, complete, and readable coverage to
any and all news of interest to the entire student body and
faculty.

2. To reflect campus opinion and welcome criticism, sug-
gestions, and letters to the editor at all times.

3. To be orthographically, gramatically, and journalisti-
cally correct.

And so with these impressive objectives engraved on our
green eye-shades, our dictionaries chained to our ankles,
and a Thesaurus under each of our arms we set to work.

E. S.

Bon Voyage !

This past week has been crammed full of elections elec-
tions for this office and elections for that one. The voters
have gotten cramped fingers and the candidates stiff legs,
but all have surprisingly survived; and consequently have
lived to see a wonderful and very capable slate of new offi-
cers spring out of utter chaos. The new officers have been
entrusted with the control, integrity, and development of
our college, and, at the same time have been assured of the
respect, approval, and backing of all the student body. It is
to them that the old officers will hand the torch of leader-
ship with the belief that the flame will never burn low in
their hands.

The out-going officers deserve the loudest and most sin-
cere chorus of thanks and applause, for during their respec-
tive courses of office they have strengthened the standards
of the school and have inspired their fellow-students by
their personal integrity. Those who remain behind will never
forget them, both as friends and leaders. N. F.

Mortar Board Selects Group Dynamics
As Theme For Leadership Conference

Group Dynamics will be the theme of this year's Leader-
ship Conference on Thursday, April 21. The annual Leader-
ship Conference, sponsored by Mortar Board, is presented
especially for the benefit of the newly elected and appointed
officers of campus organizations. All students are invited
to attend the conference 'which

will be presented in two parts.

The Leadership Conference will
begin ,at 4:30 p.m. when the
guest speaker. Mr. Newt Hodge-
son, an education professor at
Emory University, who also is
conducting a seminar at Agnes
Scott, will speak about Group
Dynamics in room 207 Campbell
Hall. Following Mr. Hodgeson's
talk, there will be a mock meet-
ing illustrating the use of Group
D'ynamics. This program will end
at 5:30 p. m.

At 6:30 p. m. the students at-
tending the conference will di-
vide up into buzz groups accord-
ing to the offices they hold. In all

of these small groups each mem-
ber of the group will take pa,rt
in a discussion of the application
of Group Dynamics to their par-
ticular offices. These discussion
groups will end before 7:30 p. m.

The ideas of Group Dynamics
which will be presented at this
year's Leadership Conference are
new, and different from the jdeas
that have been stressed in past
conferences. Everyone on campus
is invited to attend the confer-
ence. All class officers, club offi-
cers and board members are espe-
cially urged to participate in this
.Leadership Conference on April
21.

ASC Debaters Play Hostess To Harvard Team;
Debate U. S. Recognition Of Communist China

Pi Alpha Phi, the debating society of Agnes Scott College,
was hostess to a visiting debate team from Harvard Uni-
versity on Monday, April 4. This date marked the premiere
in the debating history between the two schools, and the
occasion created both interest and excitement for all con-
cerned. The old "Ivy Leaguer" de bate was concluded with a cri-
tique from the judges, who were
Mr. Paul Rilling of Emory Univer-
sity, Mr. James Mackay, a promi-
nent Decatur lawyer, and Mr. C.
Benton Kline, assistant professor
of philosophy. Jean Gregory pre-
sided over the debate and Marjorie
Mallard was the time keeper.

The Harvard men were enter-
tained at lunch here Monday, with
the debate following at 3 p. m. in
MacLean auditorium. That same
night found the Harvard debaters
competing with the Georgia Tech
team in Atlanta. Their debate
tour was continued on consecu-

only sent one debate team to the
deep South this year, and Agnes
Scott was quite fortunate to be
one of the colleges with which
they chose to debate.

The topic for debate was "Re-
solved: That the United States
Should Extend Diplomatic Recog-
nition to Communist China."
Sallie Greenfield and Joanne Mi-
klas, who debated the negative
defeated Bob King and Bob Schriv-
ner of Harvard who took the af-
firmative stand. Each debater gave
a ten minute constructive speech
and a five minute rebuttal. The

Atlanta Symphony Announces
Series for New Concert Year

The Atlanta Symphony Guild
has announced the 11th subscrip-
tion series for 1955-56.

Among the guest soloists are
many outstanding names in the

open the concert series on Octo-
ber 20. Arthur Rubinstein, Lubo-
shutz and Nemenoff and Johan-
nesen will play with the Atlanta
Symphony Orchestra for the first

have a return engagement and the
Atlanta Symphony Chorus will
join the orchestra in a perform-
ance of Handel's "Messiah." Well-
known performers like Isaac
Stern, Thomas Brockman, Bever-

ly Wolff and David Lloyd will
again delight their audiences with
'their fine artistry.

The carefully selected program
of the 1955-56 season will be a
valuable addition to the cultural
education of all students and in
order to make all 11 concerts
available to the student body a
special order for a student sea-
son ticket is again being made.
The price will be $5.00 per season
ticket; all seats will be in the
balcony.

Tickets will be sold at the At-
lanta Symphony Ticket Office, 215
Peachtree St., N. E. (Downstairs
J. P. Allen's). They can also be

Music Department Will Present
Thomas, Plant In Joint Program

Nancy Thomas, pianist, and
Jacqueline Plant, soprano, will
present a joint recital on Mon-
day, April 11, at 8:15 p. m. in
Maclean chapel.

Nancy will open the program
with "Prelude and Fugue in A-
Flat Major" from the Well-Tem-
pered Clavichord, by Bach, and
Sonata, Opus 26 by Beethoven.

For her first group of songs
Jackie will sing "In Waldesein-
samkeit" and "Standchen" by
Brahms, and "Die Loreley" by
Liszt.

Nancy's second group will in-
clude Etude Opus 25, No. 1 by
Chopin, and Rhapsody in G
Minor Opus 79, No. 2 by
Brahms. This will be followed by
an aria from "Roberto il Diavolo"

will actually defend Quemoy and
Matsu, they will undoubtedly move
more slowly in their aggressive
tactics.

Since the United States has al-
ways been a peace loving nation,
it is unlikely that they would risk
an all out war for the sake of a
few small islands. However, if
their threatened defense could be
used to induce a truce, the U. S.
would be rid, temporarily at least,
of one more hotspot in its cold war
with the Communists.

Whatever the outcome, the fu-
ture of all America is at stake.
Meanwhile, the words Quemoy and
Matsu will remain an integral part
of the newsreader's daily vocabu-
larly . . .

by Meyerbeer.

The last group of piano numbers
will be "Merry-Go-Round" by John
Powell, and "Sequidilla" by Al-
beniz.

oCetter ^Jo ^Jlie Editor

Dear new editor:

Looks like fruit basket turnover these days, don't it? Well, as of
right now, my friend the silhouette staff is sort of plural. That is,
you might call it a double regime. Anywise, ye olde staffe be not en-
tirement quits yet and afore they bow out, I do feel called upon to
frisk around with the mercis. The whole shebang has really been one
long-suffering prize, let me tell you, to put up with that goofy editor.

Sally Wilt and her troupe have been really getting with, behind
and after that photography mess and there's just about an end of it.
I guess Mary Oates and the copy staff (Mary Byrd, Diana Carpen-
ter, Nancy Kimmel, Susan Riffe and Ann Stein, will never get enough
thanks for the pain involved in getting things upwrit. Sarah Petty
gets her share for arranging the beauty section judging and Peggy
McMillan hers likewise for helping bundle the pictures off to the
engravers. That beautiful monster of an exhibit about how the little
annual creation is made was due to most noble efforts of most
honorable Donna Walkup. Sally Shippey (to whom the torch leapeth)
has the whole very orderly mess of sports to her credit and the
business staffs under command of Yvonne Burke and Betty Ann Jacks,
have been typing and selling up a storm. I, the editor's friend
I say the editor's FRIEND, do bow in humble gratitude for all com-
mon support these many months ... see you on the last page of the

Professor Will Present Lecture
On Civil War History In Gaines

"Fraternizing and Chivalry in the Civil War" is the title
of a lecture to be given by Dr. T. Harry Williams at 2:00
p. m. on Wednesday, April 13, in Gaines auditorium. Dr.
Williams is an author and a teacher, and his interests in
both are directed toward the Civil War period. At present
he is professor of history at
L.S.U.; he has also taught at the
Universities of Wisconsin and
Omaha. He has a dramatic de-
livery, a powerful voice, and
a sense of showmanship, all of
which he uses very effectively in
his classes and lectures.

Dr. Williams teaches history of
all U. S. wars up to World War
IT. In his course he briefs his
classes on earliest battle methods,
and consequent change in weapons
and tactics covering the ground
eventually, from Alexander the
Great to General Pershing. The
Civil War is by far his greatest
love, however, and his classes
reach their peak in that field. He
has visited almost every battle-
ground in the nation, and he can
set the scene for his students
with vivid exactness.

Dr. Williams is especially known
for his research and writing on
Lincoln. He has written Lincoln
and His Generals and Lincoln and
the Radicals. He is currently
working on a general history of
the Civil War, and his latest book,
P. G. T. Beauregard: Napoleon in
Gray, is to be published sometime
in April.

Diamonds, Frat Pins, Combos
Entertain Gal aw anting Scotties

By NANCY BURKITT

Spring finally did come and young men's fancies did turn to thoughts
of love and naturally to ASC lasses. Betty Reiney is wearing a brand
new diamond and Barbara Huey came back to the "sheltering arms"
sporting the KA pin of a lucky Wofford man. Patty Hamilton jour-
neyed to Menlo, Georgia, to see the parsonage where she will set up
housekeeping come September. A University of Miami SAE gave
Henrietta Camp his pin. Sara Moore had a visitor from Washington
and Lee; Mary Jane Webster and Anne McWhorter introduced boys
from Cornell and the University of Chattanooga; and down from
Davidson came visitors for Jane Moore, Sarah Davis, Jimsey Oeland,
and Martha Davis. To officially welcome Spring Carolyn Barker,
Mary McLanahan, and Nancy Holland hostessed a picnic in a De-
catur park for their Sigma Chi fellows.

Shirley Stakeman went to Emory to help the ATO's to sponsor
the Sweepstakes where fraternity sponsors Hobby Mills, Sally For-
rester, Laura Dryden, and Memye Curtis competed in the egg throw-
ing contest. Friday night Jane Stubbs, Mary Ann Wilhelmi, Karen
Beall, Lillian Null, Berta Jackson, and Langhorne Sydnor helped
the Emory Delts with a rush party.

Over Tech way Louisa Allen, Dora Wilkinson, and Claire Flinton
stopped by the Sigma Chi house. At the YMCA party Betty Jean
Meek, Alice Miller, Ann Akerman, Margie Hoge, and Marilyn Mona-
ghan sported their new spring dresses.

For the Emory KA gentlemen and their ladies this was the big
weekend the Old South Ball. Hoop skirts were in order for Peggy
Pfeiffer, Jourdan Jones, Frances Patterson, Alvia Cook, Carolyn
Herman, Ava Caldwell, and Lucy McCrary.

On campus the glee clubs of ASC and Emory inaugurated Satur-
day night festivities with the concert. Vee Williamson and Caro-
lyn Crawford were the stars of the performance which won the
applause of Nancy Thomas, Deene Spivey, Dot Rearick, and Judy
Nash and their dates.

The Emory SAE chapter hosted a house dance for their best girls.
Dot Huddleston, Bunny Hall, Katherine Jenkins, and Dot McLanahan
saw many other Scotties there. Up the row dancing at the Sig house
were Erin Young, Nancy Glazure, and Martha Akin.

Saturday was party night for the Ramblin' Wrecks. Helen Weller,
Jean Clark, Sadie Burnett, Frances Cork, and Martha Meyer were
mesdemoiselles at the Kappa Sig French party. In the Beta lodge
were Drew Blankner and May Muse. Georgia Rice and Barbara
Duvall partied at the Pike House. The Pi Kappa Phis entertained
Caro McDonald and Carol Langston.

Helen Landel went up Tennessee way to the SAE Black and White
formal at Vandy. Frazer Steele took off for her sister's wedding
in Richmond.

Toodle and here's to a big weekend.

Seniors Duel Freshmen To Tie;
Juniors Emerge With Only Win

By HELEN HENDRY

From the looks of the game last Friday afternoon, an ex-
citing and spirited season is in store for all softball fans.
Both games proved a fight to the finish, and the players
showed unusual skill in batting and ball-handling.

The fast-moving senior-frosh duel ended in a three-all tie
the extra play-off inning.

despite

The upperclassmen took an early
2-0 lead in the first inning when
Sally Legg and Pat Paden scored
one each. However, in the next
three innings, the seniors were
hindered by hitting numerous
out-field flies which the capable
frosh fielders invariably snagged.

After scoring one run in the
top of the second, the freshmen,
sparked by Martha Meyer's home-
run, took the lead. 3-2. A run in
the same inning, made by senior
Donna McGinty, tied the game,
and when a play-off failed to
shift the score to either ad-
vantage, the game ended, 3-3.

The juniors emerged as the
only victorious team of the day,
when a 6th inning play-off snared
them the winning run over a
hard-fighting sophomore nine.

The juniors surged ahead in
the first inning with four runs to
their favor, but the sophs touched
home plate three times in the top
of the second to put themselves
back in the contest. In the 4th
inning, the juniors took the spot-
light once more and smashed six
successful runs to give thern a
10-3 leeway over their opponents.
But the hard-hitting sophomores
made a valiant come-back in the
5th and brought in seven runs to
even the score.

An exciting bout followed, and
the sophs continued to shine,
bagging two more runs to take
the lead, 12-10. However the
juniors gained strength, and in the
bottom of the 6th, scored three
to cinch the game, 13-12. Both
teams displayed excellent batting
form, and two homers were hit
during the game, one by Anne
Welborn for the juniors, and the
other by Helen Hendry for the
sophomores.

It was full-swing ahead for the
riflery classes this week as the
Agnes Scott sharp-shooters, under
the leadership of manager Byrd
Hoge, began their weekly trek to
the Decatur high school rifle range

which were begun last quarter for
the first time have met with much
success and enthusiasm from the
participants.

Plans are being made for a reg-
ular rifle team which will consist
of the highest individual scorers.
Last quarter's high marksman
was Frances Patterson. Practices
are being held three times a week
on Monday at 1:30 and on Fri-

"The Salk polio vaccine works
. . . and can end the icy fear that
long has gripped the heart of pa-
rents ... 80 to 90 per cent effec-
tive in preventing paralytic polio."
(Atlanta Journal, April 12, 1955).

In all foreign relations, the
United States has one aim to pro-
tect and spread x its ideal of de-
mocracy. Although this ideal may
be established at the political le-
vel, true success can be achieved
only when the people themselves
accept its implications.

Democracy carries a duty a
duty for each individual to live up
to. To do his duty well, a person
must be not only mentally but also
physically alert. Thus, the most
important news to peace-loving
Americans in the past few weeks
has been not in political relations
but in the field of medicine the
success of the new polio vaccine.

It is significant that the develop-
ment of the new Salk vaccine is
the direct outgrowth of the ef-
forts of a former president
Franklin D. Roosevelt. Stricken
with polio himself, F.D.R. realiz-
ed the great need to combat this
dread disease. The result was the
formation of the National Founda-
tion for Infantile Paralysis and its
annual March of Dimes drive.

Whatever good or evil his poli-
tics may have caused, Roosevelt
created an element of internation-
al good will. Although the use of
the new vaccine is limited, even
in the U. S., its potential use is
unbounded. When nations all over
the globe are relieved of physical
suffering, Communism and other
totalitarian forms of government
will lose one of their greatest ap-
peals that of a "better" lift.

However, the new vaccine is not
as perfect as it can be. The pres-
ent statistics are based on hun-
dreds of thousands of human
"guinea pig" cases. This in itself
is a democratic effort and with
continued 1 cooperation, better re-
sults are expected.

Meanwhile, F. D. R.'s ideal, the
March of Dimes, is already plan-
ning for the future. Polio is not
the only physical plague perhaps
next will come a cure for cancer.
At any rate, the tremendous work
of this organization will not be-
come stagnant, resting on past
laurels.

Wars, treaties, political agree-
ments these come and go. Di-
sease and suffering persist that
is, until man realizes their import
toward the peace of the world.
The polio vaccine is successful
democracy marches on.

Raven, Toad, Bat Prepare
For Nontraditional Plot

By DOROTHY REARICK

The "Mountain May Day," to be presented in the May Day
dell Saturday afternoon, May 6th, is taking form rapidly
these days. The production, the first one in history in which
the traditional prince and princess, or hero and heroine
don't get married in the end, promises to be a very colorful

and picturesque one.

A peep into the gymnasium
during one of the rehearsals re-
veals spirited groups of dancers
including villagers, children, mu-
sicians, witches, and flames, busy
perfecting their routines. Anne
Wilson practices for her role as
Melisse, Maizie Cox rehearses for
the part of John, and Louisa
Allen transforms herself for a
time into the Witch. Jane Frist
becomes a Preacher, Louise Rig-
don the Spirit of Fir, Frances
Patterson the Spirit of Water,
Carlanna Lindamood the Spirit of
Laurel, Becca Fewell the Spark,
Julian Preble a Raven, Susan
Foxworth a Toad, and Donna
Walkup a Bat.

Banjo

On another part of the campus,
sixteen ballad singers and a ban-
jo player rehearse an original
ballad composed especially for the
May Day production by Harriet
Stovall. This year's May Day will
be the first to combine the talents
of singers with those of dancers.

As is the custom, music for the
dances in the dell will be fur-
nished by our own Agnes Scott
orchestra. The musical score con-
sists of such numbers as Grieg's
"Peer Gynt" Suite and "Wedding
Day at Troldhaugen," selections
from Copland's "Rodeo," Claus'
"Chicken Reel," and Sibelius'
"Finlandia."

The props committee, headed by
Mary Kinman and Pat Guynup,
is busily constructing a real log
cabin for the performance. The
publicity committee is preparing
silk screen posters for the Atlanta
area. The make-up committee is
calculating the formula of a
cream for the green-complexioned
witches, and at the same time
requesting any students who
would like to help the committee
to sign on the bulletin board in
the gym.

Costumes

The colorful and appropriate
mountain costumes, designed by
Harriet Stovall and Helen Fokes,
are being sewed by a committee
under the direction of B. C. Regen
and Gay Pound. Judy McDaniel
and a committee of six are help-
ing Miss Dozier and the dancers
work out their routines. Molly
Prichard is busy coordinating the
efforts of the orchestra with
those of the dancers.

Daisies

The May Day court this year
will be outfitted in pale green
and will carry Shasta daisies.
Judy Rogers will be the queen's
crown bearer.

The festivities in the dell will
be free of charge to students, fa-
culty, and staff of the college.
Tickets for guests may be pur-
chased soon.

Eta Sigma Phi

On Wednesday night, April 13,
the members of Eta Sigma Phi
and their sponsors, Miss Kathryn

An Investment

Once more the arrival of spring finds our campus in a
state of excitement and eager anticipation. College days
grow numbered for some ninety time-tested, persevering
individuals who are about to spread their wings and soar
from the "sheltering arms" to new and greater heights. But
for the rest of the crowd, the time has come for decisions
momentous decisions in the choice of courses and of a major.
We may feel that, in spite of the coming of spring, the
"Shades of the prison house begin to close upon (us) . .
Life grows into a complicated and perplexing situation.

One fact is obvious: these decisions must and will be made.
What's more, they must and will be made by one individual
YOU the student. A decision rightly made can result in
years of prosperous and valuable learning, followed by, a
lifetime of service and rich contentment. A wrong decision
may lead to disappointment and unhappiness.

Is this investiment for the future worth a little careful
study? Let's take stock of our true interests and aptitudes,
consider the opportunities for applying and expanding them
in our courses for next year and in our major field, then
make our decision a wise one. D. R.

Curtis Solves Fix-It Troubles;
New Kits Perform Miracles

By MEMYE CURTIS

This is the era of "Do It Yourself." Everywhere we turn we
hear this stirring battlecry from those who are Doing It
Themselves. They who are in tune with the times can be
identified by their smug smiles of self-satisfaction and their
Do It Yourself Kits. There are kits for countless purposes,
but there is one tragic omission

there is no all purpose Kit for
those thousands of us who live
in dormitory rooms. No one seems

Things Ourselves or not.

But now you, too, can be, up
with the times. You can make
your own Do It Yourself Kit. And
with this kit you can fix anything
in your room. Anything. Follow-

you hold, the other is hot.)

(19) Nails (unbent, preferable.)

(1) Heavy blunt object (for
when you've lost the hammer.)
An empty Coke bottle is sug-
gested, or your roommate's shoe.

(1 stick) Chewing gum (pink is
prettiest.)

Bits of wire, string, and paper
(These help to fill the kit, and
provide conversation pieces.)

Set logarithm tables.

(1) Automobile jack (This has
no definite purpose but helps give
the kit that professional look.)

Now comes the thrill of putting
your kit to use. If, for instance,
your radio doesn't work, go at
once to the source of the difficul-
ty. Using the hammer (either end)
gently rip off the back of the
radio. Then look to sec if a tube

is burnt out. This can be de-
tected very easily by noticing
which tube fails to light up. How-
ever, this is not an infallible test,
because sometimes good tubes
don't light up, and sometimes
burnt out ones do. Next, look at
the transformer (the large, trans-
former-shaped object on the side.)
Sometimes it smells like it's
burning. Do not let this frighten
you; simply jam the back of the
radio on again, using the screw
driver to secure it. However, since
a screw driver is not included in
the kit, use your fingernail.

If the radio still fails to work
drop it on the floor several times.
This connects loose wires or
summons those below to help
you.

There are countless other ways
to Do It Yourself in the dormi-
tory. Do your walls need decora-
tion? Make and frame your own
pictures. Use the different, the
bizar/e campus slips, your
friends' wedding announcements,
a photo of The Man Who Got
Away anything to keep up your
spirits.

What joy you will gain from
your new found independence;
what a sense of achievement you
will feel as you survey the ob-
jects you have made and repaired
yourself! But if you simply can-
not learn to use the kit, don't
despair perhaps you will find a
man who-can D'o It Himself!

Shapley Speaks On
Stars and Galaxies

By LINDA GUENTHER

On Tuesday evening, April 12,
Lecture Association presented its
final program in the 1954-55 se-
ries. Dr. Harlow Shapley of the
Harvard Observatory spoke to a
large audience at 8:30 p. m. in
Gaines Chapel. Prior to his ad-
dress Tuesday evening, Dr. Shap-
ley spoke to Dr. Calder's astron-
omy class at 2 p. m. in Campbell
Hall.

Dr. Shapley's lecture in Gaines
Chapel was lively and entertain-
ing. He began his talk with an ex-
amination of tools used in at-
tempting to discover various facts
about the universe. He took his
audience on a whirlwind tour of
biological history, and concluded
the tour by stating that the earth's
crust is a "graveyard of biologi-
cal failures."

In the field of astronomy, Dr.
Shapley stated various basic facts
about the galaxy in which the
Earth moves, among them that
our galaxy is wheel-shaped and
that we are near the edge of the
wheel. He pointed out that there
are about 1500 galaxies in the
bowl of the Big Dipper. Dr. Shap-
ley then discussed globular clus-
ters and nebulae, and told of re-
cent developments of new radio-
telescopes.

A reception for Dr. Shapley fol-
lowed the lecture. It was held in
Rebekah Scott Reception Hall.

Hinchey, Curtis

fehearse a scene from the Black-

friars' production of "Twelfth Night."

ForthcomingTwelfthNight'
Will Feature Miklas, Battle

By NELLIE STRICKLAND

The entire campus is in for a unique treat Friday night,
8:00 p. m., on April 22, and Saturday, 3:00 p. m. when Black-
friars will bring to life the immortal characters of Shake-
speare's great comedy "Twelfth Night." Spectators are urged
to bring cushions and blankets for their own comfort.

This familiar story of in-

distinguishable twins, Viola
(Robbie Shellnut) and Sebastian
(Barbara Battle) brings to us
all of Shakespeare's delightful
humor, as Viola disguises herselt
as a page to follow Duke Orsino
(Eleanor Swain) whom she se-
cretly loves. Ironically, as his
page she is employed to carry
love letters to Olivia (Jean
Gregory) with whom the Duke is
passionately in love. To add to the
utter confusion of unrequited
love, Olivia falls in love with the
page. Then the supposedly drown-
ed other twin, Sebastian, steps in,
and is mistaken by the Lady for
the page, his sister. When she
makes love to him, he immediately
responds by marrying her. Then
the unhappy Cesario, alias Viola,
is accused by the jilted Orsino; but
after a happy reunion with her
brother, all is revealed, and the
happy revelation of her true sex
is rewarded with the hand of the
Duke in marriage.

The well-known subplot of the
trick played upon Malvolio (Jo-
Ann Miklas) provides an addi-
tional source of humor, much
more of the slapstick variety.
The revels of Sir Toby Belch
(Mary Jo Carpenter), Sir Andrew
(Ann Allred), and the Clown
(Memye Curtis) takes the play
rollicking through to the happy
ending. Spectators will be inter-
ested to note that the fencing
bouts in these scenes are really
authentic Barbara Battle, Mary
Jo Carpenter, Ann Allred, and
Sallie Greenfield have been busy
practicing their "En Gardes" un-
der the supervision of Miss BoycQ,
with true Blackfriar dramatic
spirit.

Other characters include
Anthony, Sallie Greenfield; Se-
bastian, Barbara Battle; Valen-
tine, .Linda Guenther; Curio, Jene
Sharpe; Maria, Helen Jo Hinchey.
A whole retinue of officers and
attendents Julie Boland, Berta
Jackson, Barbara Duvall, Nellie
Strickland, Carolyn Moon, are
all included in this cast. Cynthia
Bailey plays the part of the
Priest.

Dr. and Mrs. Stratton R.
Story announce the arrival of
their "first pill," Stratton R. f
Jr., on April 9 in Denver, Col.
orado. Mrs. Story was a former
instructor in physical educa-
tion at Agnes Scott.

Sponsors Entertain
Juniors With Party

The Junior class was honored
Wednesday, April 13, by their class
sponsors with a drop-in coke par-
ty. Dr. Lorin Roberts and Miss
Mary Boney are the class spon-
sors, and the party was held at
Dr. and Mrs. Roberts' home at 226
South McDonough. Cokes, cookies,
mints, and assorted goodies were
served.

Abram Addresses
AS Honor Banquet

Mr. Morris B. Abram, distin-
guished local attorney gave the
address at the Phi Beta Kappa
Kappa banquet held April 14 in
the faculty dining room immed-
iately following the annual initia-
tion of members-in-course. The
subject of his speech was "Anti-
intellectualism." He presented in
a richly disturbing way the clos-
ing off of a discussion in one field
after another of American life
and made an ardent plea for the
spirit of free inquiry. He quoted
from such eminent men as Thomas
Jefferson, who perhaps today in
the light of McCarthyism would
be called on the carpet for liberal
attitudes.

President of the local chapter
of Phi Beta Kappa, Dr. Ellen
Douglass Leyburn, presided at the
banquet and the initiation at
which time the twelve seniors were
initiated.

Among the alumnae of the Chap-
ter present were Georgia Belle
Christopher's mother and two
aunts.

Leaders Will Attend
Annual Conference

Tomorrow afternoon and eve-
ning, Mortar Board will sponsor
its annual Leadership Confer-
ence. The Conference will b#gin at
4:30 p. m. in 207, Science Hall,
with a mock student meeting. It
will illustrate how a meeting
should not be conducted.

After a break for supper, the
Conference will resume. At this
time participants will divide into
smaller groups which will meet
and discuss problems pertaining
to the members of each group.

The Leadership Conference is
primarily for the purpose of aid-
ing the newly elected officers un-
derstand the duties and problems
of their offices. The whole cam-
pus community, however, is in-
vited and urged to attend.

Rings, Pins Shower Scotties;
Spring Finds Parties In Style

By NANCY BURKITT

After the Easter holiday weekend the ASC girls came back to
campus to prepare for a big social whirl. Helen Jo Hinchey proudly
showed her engagement ring and Jeannine Frapart announced plans
for a late summer wedding. Linda Guenther started wearing a Pi
Kappa Phi pin from NC State; Donna Walkup now has a Kappa Sig
pin from a Tech man; and June Fulmer is the happy possessor of
a Tech Sigma Nu pin. At the Pi Kappa Phi Rose Ball Friday night
Julie Boland and Cynthia Bailey were among the first to congratu-
late Carolyn Langston on being the new fraternity sweetheart. Dot
Weakley had a visitor from Davidson.

Friday night was party night for the Emory lads. The Sigma Nu's
had their formal at Jennings Rose Room. Nancy Snipes, Carol Pike,
Richlyn Vandiver, and Sallie Greenfield enjoyed the festivities.

At the Druid Hills Country Club Judy Brown, Angeline Pope,
Frannie Barker, Jo Sawyer, and Ann Norris Shires dined and
danced at AKK Spring formal.

Later on the row the Phi's house was the scene of a novel Bermuda
shorts party. Margaret Minter, Carol Pine, Mary McCorkle, and
Sara Margaret Heard looked like a page out of "Mademoiselle" in
their outfits. Down at the Sig house Jo Hathway and Ann Corse
tried out a new mambo step.

Betty Akerman, Susanna Byrd, Jane Gaines, Ann Hoover, Marjorie
Vann, and Pauline Waller went to Lawrenceville Friday to Carolyn
Alford's home where they shouted a surprise "Happy Birthday" to her.
With their dates they celebrated with a picnic supper by the lake.

The Tech ATO's had a big weekend a houseparty. The formal was
Friday night and a combo was the main feature at Snapfinger
Farm Saturday night. Nancy Alexander, Eleanor Swain, Vee William-
son, and Virginia McClurkin were among the Scotties who were
guests. A Kiddie party at the Sigma Chi house was the destination
Saturday night of Louise Rainey, Caralann Lindamood, Sue Lile, and
Sally White who were dressed in their best pinafores and hair rib-
bons, Anne Bullard, Jeannette Huff, Sandra Thomas, and Tonai QVEc-
Pheron danced to the sweet music of the combo that the Tech KA
chapter had imported for the occasion.

Out to Stone Mountain went Nancy Fraser, Anne Wilson, Pinky
McCall, and Dot Rearick Saturday night for a picnic with their
dates from the Seminary.

Over Emory way Harriet Talmadge, Joanne Smith T, Nancy Kim-
mel, and Winkie Stockton were at the Chi Phi house for the evening,
and down at the SAE house dance were Suzy Long, Julian Preble,
Suzie Ware, and Caroline Phelan.

The Sophomore formal was here on campus Saturday night and it was
strictly gaie Paree complete with sidewalk cafe. Among the '57ers
were Penny Smith, Dannie Reynolds, Betsy Crapps, Jackie Murray,
Libby Bond, and Doris Musgrace.

It is Christian liberal educa-

Rain Renders Rusty Teamplays;
Freshmen, Seniors Score Wins

By HELEN HENDRY

Rain took its toll of soft ball practices last week, and the
games Friday showed the effects of it. In the senior-junior
tilt, the seniors surged ahead in the first inning of the game
to take a lead which they held throughout the entire game.
The juniors, who were not up to their usual par, were unable
to pull in the slack, and at the '

end of the fifth the seniors posted
a winning score of 6-2.

Neither team seemed to be cap-
able of putting forth their best
foot and the game moved slowly
with no very spectacular plays.
Both catcher-pitcher teams proved
very efficient and played their
usual steady game. The seniors
and juniors have been outstand-
ing in sports this year, and this
game was no test of their abili-
ties.

A lop-sided second game ended
with the freshmen victorious over
the sophomores, 11-6. In the first
inning, the sophs played very
smoothly and easily took the lead,
5-0. However, in a sudden burst
of energy in the the third inning,
the frosh began hammering a
series of singles which brought
in ten runners before the sopho-
mores could get back on their
feet.

The hard hitting displayed by
both teams in their first matches
was not repeated in this tilt, and
most of the hits were short
grounders and infield pop-ups.
Pitchers Meyers and Herman
were in good form, however, and
only one walk was allowed
throughout the game. The match
was marked by sudden bursts of
energy rather than consistent
playing, and both sides were
handicapped by errors. Lack of
practice was evident in both
games, so here's hoping for sun-
shine from now on-

Appreciation is expressed to-
Dr. Kline for his magnificent job
of umpiring the senior-junior
game in the absence of Misses
Ashley and Boyce. Thanks also
go to Carolyn Wells for acting
as umpire during the soph-frosh
tilt.

April 13. The president voiced a desire for immediate action
by the board and appointed social, business, and communi-
cation chairmen to take charge of the various duties of the
association. The opinions of the
president were met with much
enthusiasm by the members, and
all evidence pointed toward a very
successful year for athletics and
campus spirit.

In the sports spotlight for this
week is the West Georgia College
Play Day at Carrolton, Ga. on
Saturday, April 23. All who wish
to attend this outing are invited

Surprises can occur anytime and
anywhere. Even in the cold, cal-
culating and sometimes ruthless
game of foreign policy, the unex-
pected can play a big part in the
course of events. The U.S. State De*-
partment recently received one
of these surprises in the form of
support of its policies from an un-
foreseen source.

The setting Bandung, Indo-
nesia; the occasion the first
meeting of twenty-nine Afro-
Asian countries extending from
Libya to Japan. The gathering
was the result of an intense na-
tionalistic spirit which has swept
the area during the past few years
and produced a desire to emerge
from Western control.

This nationalism, coupled with
the appearance 1 of Red China's pre-
mier Chou En-lai (Formosa was
not represented) made Western
observers fear the meeting might
become another mouthpiece for
Communist propoganda. However,
such was not the case.

As pre-arranged, Chou En-lai
opened the sessions, stressing a
note of conciliation and friendship
among the representatives. India's
Prime Minister Nehru voiced fears
of both Communist and Western
policies which, he felt, were lead-
ing to war.

The bombshell came from Sir
John Kotelawala, Prime Minister
of Ceylon who was one of the five
sponsors of the meeting. In a fiery
speech, he denounced "Communist
colonialism" and pictured coexis-
tence as the "wolf of Communist
subversion in the sheep's clothing
of peaceful talk."

Anti-Communist sentiments had
been expected from Turkey and
other Western-allied nations, but
Ceylon's stand stemmed from no
previous commitments. The re-
sult of Kotelawala's harsh words
left doubt that any construction
resolution could be passed since
unanimous vote is required.

Before the meeting, it was hop-
ed that discussion of tension in
Formosa might lead to a united
action of the countries to exert
pressure on the United States for
a peace settlement. With Chou
leading the way, the terms might
have meant a severe setback for
U. S. foreign policy.

Ceylon's stand, however, formed
the nucleus of a formidable pro-
Western block to any such at-
tempts. Even though Communist
China still held the advantage by
its presence, Western observers
branded the action as a Western
victory.

The middle and far East have
long been trouble spots for the U.
S. Because of language, custom
and racial barriers, mutual under-
standing has been difficult. On the
other hand, Communist propagan-
dists have held the upper hand' be-
cause of some similarity of back-
ground .

Therefore, this unexpected sup-
port of the United States gives two
hopes: (1) a gradual halt to the
spread of Communism in Asia; and
(2) better understanding between
the United States and its oriental
neighbors.

The attainment of these objec-
tives may be far in the future.
However, if our policy has evoked
such unexpected support from just
one nation, the prospects are cer-
tainly bright!

Met Bills Familiar Operas
For Atlanta Performance

This week, April 27 through April 30, Metropolitan Opera
makes its annual appearance at the Fox Theatre, bringing
this year such all-time favorites as "Carmen," "Manon,"
"Andrier Chenier," Barber of Seville," and "Madame Butter-
fly

Tonight spectators will see
Bizet's famous "Carmen," the
story of the beautiful, vivacious
gipsy and her fickle love affairs.
After winning the love of Don
Jose, a sergeant, Carmen is ar-
rested for he participation in
a fight, and the two lovers plan
a rendezvous at the famous
smugglers' inn. There Zunigo, the
Lieutenant and Don Jose clash
swords, and after overpowering
him, the smugglers, Carmen, and
Don Jose escape to the mountain.
Later, after a fight between the
rivals, Escamillo* and Jose, Mi-
caela (Don Jose's former sweet-
heart) persuades the latter to
return with her. Then, the climax
comes when Don Jose demands
the love and fidelity of Carmen,
and upon the fickle gipsy's refusal,
he stabs her.

Massenet's "Manon" is the
story of a gay young girl who, on

her way to the convent, impetu-
ously elopes with young Cheva-
lier Des Grieux. In Paris, Manon
gives up her poverty-stricken Des
Grieux in favor of a rich noble-
man, De Britigny, and Des Grieux

is unhappily arrested. When the
disillusioned boy decides to be-
come a monk, Manon momentarily
repents and persuades him to re-
turn to Paris, where he becomes
a rather successful gambler, and
on being accused of cheating, is
arrested along with Manon. Fi-
nally, on the road to Havre,
Manon meets Des Grieux and
falls dying into his arms, begging
forgiveness for her unfaithful-
ness.

"Andrier Chenier," by Giordano,
takes place during the French
Revolution when Chenier, a bril-
liant poet, falls in love with the
ravishing Madeline. Upon getting
into trouble with revolutionists,
Andrier is forced to fight with
Gerard, the Leader. Wounded,
Chenier escapes, taking Madeline
with him. Then, in the city, Andrier
is indicted by Gerard; Madeline
offers herself as ransom for her
lover's life, but the cruel mob
demands this young upstart's
head. At last, the two go together
to the scafford.

"The Barber of Seville," being
performed at the Saturday matinee

fortune), and also by the Count
Almaviva. The Count is aided in
his attempt to woo and win Ro-
sino by Figaro, the town barber.
After the Count appears in the
house in several disguises, the
two lovers finally succeed in

Figaro is shaving the tyrannical
guardian. Then Rosino and the
Count are united, and the greedy
Bartholo is appeased by being
allowed to retain the ' coveted
fortune.

Saturday night, Puccini's "Ma-

ca where he marries an American
girl, all unbeknown to Butterfly.
The Lieutenant returns to Japan,
with Butterfly still believing that
their marriage is valid. After a
night of waiting in vain for her
"husband's" return, she is in-
formed of the truth of the matter,
and kills herself.

Death of A Scientist

Last week marked the death of one of the outstanding
men of this or any century, indeed, of one of the greatest
scientists of all time, Dr. Albert Einstein. Einstein's works
were vast and far reaching, yet done in modesty and humility,
in the spirit of true greatness. As expressed in the words of
President Eisenhower, "No other man contributed so much
to the vast expansion of 20th century knowledge. Yet no
other man was more modest in the possession of the power
that is knowledge, more sure that power without wisdom
is deadly."

Einstein first won recognition when, five years after
graduating from the polytechnic institute in Zurich, Switzer-
land, he introduced his theory of relativity. This was a revo-
lutionary study of time and motion which, when combined
with later studies, added a fourth dimension time to the
measure of matter of length, depth,- and width. Einstein, a
leader in the fields of nuclear fission and electronics, gave
science the theoretical knowledge from which the atom bomb
was developed.

Other of Einstein's studies led to conclusions that motion
is relative, that the speed of light is constant, and that the
light from stars bends as the rays pass closs to the sun on
their journey to the earth. Einstein's last major contribution
to science came in 1950 when he published his Unified Field
theory in which he sought to describe under one cover all
the forces of the universe in a set of equations.

We of the NEWS staff wish to pay tribute to this great
man who despite his genius was "a simple man of simple
tastes," a man who enjoyed a quiet evening in the home of
a Harvard physics professor accompanying other musicians
with his violin. J. A. N.

Spring Clean-up

"Pretty is as pretty does." A thousand, nay, two thousand
times the melody of this time worn maxim, uttered by
Mothers, Aunts, and Grandmothers, has accompanied us out
our front door and into the street. We have heard this old
refrain so often that it has at last, to our mother's unspeak-
able joy, affected us. We know and use all the tricks of good
grooming and tasteful dress. We can handle every social
situation with grace and charm. Everybody knows, when
they see us float from Main we are pretty and we do pretty.

But oh! the wreck we leave behind us! How could such
beautiful butterflies emerge from such cluttered, filthy, ugly
-cocoons. Though we know and use all the mores of action
and dress, there is no getting around it our rooms are a
mess. We all know what a neat liveable room is and as hot
weather arrives we will apreciate such a clean cool haven
more and more. The prospective students and campus visi-
tors that spring brings to the campus will also be impressed
by our neatness (if we have it).

Don't begin your cleanliness campaign like one of our
number who every week says "I've got to clean up this mess,"
and in preparation promptly throws everything into the
middle of the room and leaves it there until clean-up time
next week. But do begin. And remember, "Pretty is as pretty
leaves behind her." E. S.

cjCetter ^Jo ^Jlie (Editor

Dear Editor:

In the years we spend at Agnes Scott we become a part of many
things, and when we graduate we can say with Emerson:
I am the owner of the sphere,
Of the seven stars and the solar year,
Of Caesar's hand, and Plato's brain,
Of Lord Christ's heart, and Shakespeare's strain.

Yet far greater than the humanities, far greater than its prose and
poetry, is life itself. It is only when the humane ideals of Plato,
Christ, and Shakespeare are carried over into the present deed that
they have meaning for us and for our fellowmen.

The whole purpose of a Christian liberal arts college is centered
not only in the belief that as men, we are seeking to become better
in all the ways a man can become better, but also in the idea that
we are striving to make the world around us better in all the ways
it can become better.

One of the most pressing problems which faces us as individuals
and as a community is: What is our stand upon the recent Supreme
Court ruling about segregation? It seems to me that articulate action
on this problem has been dreadfully lacking on our campus. We seem
to be unwilling to take the lead in an issue about which we as a
liberal Christian community should have definite convictions.

If we ever become smug or protect ourselves with a kind of in-
tellectual snobbery, if we become resentful of criticism and become
men whose deeds belie their character, we are sowing the seeds of
our own destruction.

Let us wrestle with ourselves and with all around us so that in
this time when men are ignoring the claims of humanity we may
remain faithful to the great humane ideals of the past and trans-
late them into the problems of our age.

Curtis Advises Pennywise:
Grow Thin Along With Me

By MEMYE CURTIS

Spring is the time when many of us find that our last
year's summer wardrobe has mysteriously shrunk. If your
cash on hand has taken the same direction, then nothing re-
mains but to try to coax your figure to do the same. But this
is easier said than done. The first meal after your decision,
you may discover that habit has
outwitted resolution and left
three empty ice cream dishes in
front of you. Although this may
seem to be a low moment, it's
really not. There is no better time
for determining to go on a diet
than when one is full and happy.

orreclion

The "News" wishes to cor-
rect the announcement made in
the last issur that Dr. Alston
was the speaker at ihe Mor-
ter Board convocation. The
address was, in reality, made by
Mrs. Doris Sullivan Tippens. We
apologize for our error.

Disadvantages

To tide you over when the going
gets rough, however, why not
make a list of the advantages as
well as the slight disadvantages
of dieting? This will provide ir-
refutable proof that you're doing
the right thing. Let's put the dis-
advantages first. (1) You tend
to be hungry and cross all the
time. (2) No more looking for-
ward to lunch after a 12:00 class
while munching a candy bar to
keep up your morale. (3) No
more gourmets' meetings in the
bookstore for decisions between
a coke and ice cream or a coke,
ice cream, and crackers. (4) No
longer, in fact, will you be wel-
come in any social groups, for
your determination will give
everyone else a guilty conscience,
and your only subject of conver-
sation will be how much you've
lost.

Advantages

Your life will be: coffee at the
Varsity, water at Threadgill's,
fruit salad at the Plantation
House. However, there's always
the hope that your dates may pick
up when your masculine acquaint-
ances find out that it doesn't cost
much to feed you. Now for all
those advantages: (1) You'll look
better; (2) . . . well; (3) . ^ .
well, anyway, you're going to
diet.

Gimmick

The first thing to do is to take
a positive step. Find a gimmick-
something that makes reducing
fun. You might, for instance, bor-
row the family scales. You and
your friends will have a delight-
ful time as you all weigh hope-
fully every hour on the hour. If
your scales aren't consistent,
that makes it even better. How
encouraging it will be to weigh
six or seven pounds more than
you did an hour before! And to
play a friendly trick on your
neighbors, keep the scales ten
pounds overweight.

Sample Lunch

If scales are out of the question,
at least keep this description of
a sample lunch with you to guide
you in your choice in the dining
hall: one bowl of chili (not the
beans of course. Some skill is re-
quired in picking them out. Some
people take out all the beans at
once, others do it as they go.)

One serving of artichokes
(fried without grease.)

All you want of lettuce, black
coffee, bean sprouts, raw oysters.

No (needless to say) dessert.
(To keep from eating it, (1)
handcuffs, or (2) a friend who
wants an extra dessert serves
equally well).

Grow thin along with me. The
worst is yet to be. No joy of life
for which desserts were ever
made!

Blackfriars Produce Success
Starring Shelnutt, Carpenter

By LIXDA GUEXTHER

Friday and Saturday, April 22
and 23, Blackfriars presented Wil-
liam Shakespeare's "Twelfth
Night" in the Winship Garden. The
consensus is that the production
was a huge success, and well it
might be. Parts were assigned and
rehearsals begun in winter quar-
ter, and the technical staff also
began planning then. These long
hours of work produced two per-
formances that added luster to
Agnes Scott's dramatic crown.

Miss Winter and Miss Hale de-
serve much praise for their excel-
lent direction Miss Winter's long
hours spent correcting everything
from diction to the polite bow,
and Miss Hale's<#patience in help-
ing the technical committees with
their endless problems.

The staging of the play was of
special interest. Using both sides
of the steps and the bannisters, as
well as the patio of the Winship
garden, created a varied effect
which made the audience forget
the fact that no sets could be used.
Barbara Battle, Pat Hale, Virgin-
ia Love and Jene Sharp deserve
applause for their scenery and
staging.

Costumes were designed by Van-
nie Traylor, who surely rates an
"Oscar" for her fine work. Colors
were effectively used to interpret
the personalities of the various
characters black for the somber
Malvolio, with yellow stockings
mentioned in the play. Mrs. C.
W. Hamilton, Sallie Greenfield,
Pat Grandy, Emiko Takeuchi and
the other members of the commit-
tee are to be highly commended
for their execution of Vannie's de-
signs and for their endless mend-
ing chores most willingly perform-
ed.

The lighting of the play was
perhaps the one weak spot, and
this was not the fault of the light-
ing committee. Mary Dickinson
and Mr. Dexter White did all that
seemed possible to light the outdoor
patio and two sets of steps as ef-
fectively as they would have a
stage, but chasing shadows out of
corners and not being able to use
overhead spotlights proved diffi-
cult obstacles, perhaps insur-
mountable ones.

Sally Wilt and her committee
came up with a novel idea for
programs. They used the old hand-
bill style, and tied each one with
a bit of red ribbon. This touch,
and the added fact that one of the
performances was on the anniver-
sary of Twelfth Night's first pre-
sentation, added to the Shakes-
pearian atmosphere. Lucy Robert-
son handled the sound effects in a
most commendable manner.

The acting throughout the play
proved how well-cast the produc-
tion was. Eleanor Swain did a
very good job with a part which
(in this critic's opinion) is that of
a rather effeminate, over-emotion-
al man. She helped play down this
defect very well indeed. Barbara
Battle played Sebastian in a man-
ner that made the critic feel as
if she really were Sebastian, and
understood him well. Sallie Green-
field was properly antagonistic as
Antonio, the pirate, and with this
performance and her performance
in "The Skin of our Teeth" won
honorable mention for the Ben-
nett Trophy.

Mary Jo Carpenter and Ann All-
red deserve special credit for their
performances Mary Jo was real-
istically vigorous and lusty as Sir
Toby Belch. Ann's portrayal of
the prissy Sir Andrew was also
well done. Joanne Miklas' repre-
sentation of MaWolio was one of
the most effective characteriza-
tions in the whole play through
understatement Joanne drew sym-
pathy from her audience, while at
the same time creating the impres-
sion of a stuffed shirt and wet
blanket.

Memye Curtis made a very
sprightly, bouncy jester, and at
the same time made spectators
see that the fool had a heart and
feelings just like other people. Her
performances in "Twelfth Night"
and "The Skin of our Teeth" won
her the coveted Claude S. Bennett
trophy for the best acting of the
year. Jean Gregory made a digni-
fied Olivia seem very human, a
good job indeed. Robbie Shelnutt
turned in a charming performance
as Viola. Jo Hinchey's characteriza-
tion of Maria was prim and de-
lightful. The smaller parts were
also quite adequately played.

'A Man Called Peter' Provokes
Various Responses On Campus

What is your opinion of the current movie "A Man Called
Peter"?

Alice Johnston: I liked it. I think they made a very good
selection of scenes. I wish they hadn't speeded up their love
life so much.

Harriet Talmadge: I enjoyed
it, particularly, Richard Todd's
sermons.

Joyce Thomas: A good movie.
Richard Todd made it.

Louisa Allen: "A Man Called
Peter" expressed the importance
and signifiance of seeking God's
plan for the individual's life.

Molly Prichard: I was afraid it
would do harm to Agnes Scott
but I don't think it did. I think the
school was well represented.

Julia Beeman: I thought the
acting was very good. It was less
Hollywood than most movies. I
thought it was very inspiring.

Donna Walkup: As a movie I
thought it was good, but it didn't
necessarily follow the book too
well.

Mary Oates: I thought the ser-
mons were most effective.

Dot McLanahan: I thought it
was good and I don't think too
much time was spent on sermons.

Anne Harllee : It was very good.
I thought the Agnes Scott part
was a little ridiculous.

Berta Jackson: A good movie.
I was a little amused at the
Dean's Office scene. I hope other
people enjoy it as much as Agnes
Scott people do. I thought the
mention of Agnes Scott through-
out the movie was good.

Peggy McMillan* I thought it
was very good, especially Richard
Todd. I don't think Jean Peters
was too good.

Harriet Hampton: I thought it
was good. I think Richard Todd

a "doer of all things" rather than
a spiritual leader.

Carolyn Crawford: I think the
Annapolis sermon was the high
point of the movie. I think the part
of Catherine was made sort of
flat and personless. The movie
was also overdrawn in some
places.

M. E. Knight: I thought the
first part was too rushed, but the
rest of the movie was good. I
thought the sermons were excel-
lent. *

Jo Ann Miklas: More important
than the free publicity Agnes
Scott got, "A Man Called Peter"
revealed the rewards of a deep

Burkitt Congratulates Swains;
Scotties Journey Out-Of-Town

By NANCY BURKITT

Congratulations are in order for the University of South Carolina
man who presented Joanne Miklas with a beautiful engagement ring,
to the Tech Kappa Sig whose pin Peggy Beard is now wearing, and
to the gentlemen who are responsible for Carey Cansler's and Evelyn
Beckum's new rings, and Sara Townsend's Sigma Chi pin.

Many of the ASC cuties packed their prettiest party dresses and
newest Bermuda shorts for a visit to other campuses. Spring Frolics
at Davidson was the destination of Margie Fordham, LeGrande Smith,
'Martha Riggins, Nancy Alexander, Carol Riley, Helen Fokes, and
Virginia Fuller. The Emory SAE chapter hosted a houseparty on a
plantation near Savannah last weekend. Gracie Greer, Nancy Hale,
Bopine Bogle, and Sally Forrester reported that it was a fabulous
weekend. Maria Martoccia journeyed up to the University of Vir-
ginia for a round of parties. Also up Virginia way was Ann Alvis who
attended festivities at VMI. Rita Rowan was on hand for the Sigma
Chi parties at Auburn. Ann Norris Shires and Barbara Sinclair were
up on the mountain for a Sewanee weekend.

There are still some girls on campus, however. Betty Reiney and
Nancy Edwards were visited by their favorite beaus. Barbara Battle,
Jane Stubbs, B. C. Regen, Sallie Greenfield, A. A. Klostermeyer, and
Ann Welborn introduced their out-of-town dates at the Junior ban-
quet and dance Saturday night.

Besides the delightful Shakespeare play presented by Blackfriars
there were other attractions for the stay-at-homes. Friday night
sounded like an October afternoon over Tech way with all the foot-
ball cheers. Betty Akerman, Pat McGee, Mary Byrd, Rosalyn War-
ren, Jane Miller, Elizabeth Hanson, and Kathy Cole gave forth with
their favorite cheers.

The Phi Dfelt formal at the Dinkier Plaza was the big occasion
for Libby Bond, Alvia Cook, Shirley McDfonald, and Dede Farmer
on Friday night.

Katy Blondeau, Drew Blanker, Grace Molineux, and Joan Sanders
hurried over to Emory for a Chi Phi house dance.

The next night on the row, Virginia Redhead, Mary Nell Mobley,
Janie Marbut, Betty Richardson, and Gloria Calhoun, Shirley Law-
horne, and Joyce Thomas partied at the Sigma Chi house. The Phi
Chi med. fraternity entertained Jane Henegar, Ann Harlee, Dot
Huddleston, and Judy Peace at a house dance.

Sunday afternoon Byrd Hoge, Helen Weller, Nancy Jackson, Donna
McGinty, Jamie McCoy, and Trudy Awbrey were among the Scotties
who packed a picnic supper for their dates and headed for Allatoona
for a glorious day of swimming, water skiing, and sun.

Toodle for now.

Lowerclassmen Capture Wins;
Seniors Share First Place Title

By HELEN HENDRY

Last Friday proved to be an afternoon of upsets for the
upperclassmen and triumphs for the lowerclassmen in the
soft ball series.

A determined freshmen team brought home five runners
to defeat the top-seeded seniors, 5-3. The seniors started off
with a bang in the first inning "slump" to gain their first win

of the season by defeating the
juniors, 6-3.

by taking an early 2-0 lead, but
inefficient fielding took its toll
in the second inning, and the
frosh applied the pressure to
surge ahead, 4-2.

The seniors seemed unable to
pull themselves out of their rut,
and their game suffered greatly
in the following innings. The
seniors were certainly not up to
their hitting par, and the fresh-
men appeared to be playing a
much better game, both in hitting
and fielding.

The outcome of the game was
very important in that the frosh
are now neck to neck with the
seniors for first place in the
team ratings.

Whether it was the hot after-
noon sun of the enlarged sopho-
more cheering section that did
the trick is not answerable, but
at any rate the sophomore team
finally managed to emerge from
their inevitable third inning

In their usual method, the
sophs took an early lead but sur-
prisingly enough were able to
maintain it throughout the game.
The juniors, hampered by lack of
players in the first two innings,
began to shine a little in the
fifth, but the sophs continued to
hold their stand, and the efforts
of their opponents were to no avail.

It seemed as if there was much
improvement from the games of
last week in the actual playing
of both teams, especially in field-
ing and catching.

Hall To Reign As May Queen

. . . Virginia Keller

To Western policy makers,
Russia and Red China have be-
come the proverbial "double
trouble" twins. When one of them
is momentarily quiet it is certain
that the lull is only temporary
while a new scheme is being
"cooked up." After comparative
peace in Europe's cold war, Russia
has suddenly brought forth a plan
which threatens the entire di-
plomacy of the West.

This monkey wrench is the new
Austrian peace treaty. The com-
pletion of this agreement between
Austria and Russia climaxes a
ten year wait by the Austrians
and represents a strategic ma-
neuver in the Russian bid to pro-
mote a split between West Ger-
many and its allies.

The treaty itself is very ac-
ceptable. The Russians have
agreed to withdraw all troops by
the end of the year, to return all
war prisoners and to receive
manufactured goods in payment
of Austria's war debt. The trump
card term, however, declares that
Austria will align itself with no
other country defensively.

Such a generous treaty would
seem to be a boon for the West
and, indeed it would be if it were
not for West Germany. Germans
have always wanted to be united
under one government. Now that
Austria has achieved unity, they
see no barrier to a similar agree-
ment for themselves.

Russia, however, has repeatedly
warned that signing of the Paris
Peace pacts would block any uni-
fication effort. Ironically enough,
the final ratification of these
pacts and the completion of the
Austrian treaty occurred within
a few days of each other.

Now definitely allied with the
West, the Bonn government is
already feeling the discontent of
the people whose nationalistic de-
sires overrule their fears of Com-
munism. With no strong leader
to replace Chancellor Konrad
Adenaur who has consistently
backed the agreement, the future
looks very cloudy.

Meanwhile, the Western Big
Three are in a quandary. If they
accept the Austrian treaty, they
will in effect be discriminating
against German nationalistic am-
bitions. A rejection, on the other
hand, would brand the West as
enemies of peace.

One fact is certain the "double
trouble" twins will not stand still
until they either attain their ob-
jective or get punished for try-
ing. However, the Austrian treaty
is more than a childish prank
acceptance or rejection will have
a direct bearing on the main-
tenance of peace in Western
Europe.

Lucchese To Guide Singers
In Operatic Extravaganza

By DORIS MUSGRAVE

The class of 1955 will present one of the most unique pro-
ductions to ever come to the stage in Presser Hall. The en-
tire college community has a real treat in store on Saturday
night, May 7, when the curtain goes up on "Der Rural Mural"
at 8:00.

bond? Will the mural get finish-
ed? Will the money-mad villain
be caught? These questions will
be answered for you on the night
of May 7.

In addition to, an exciting plot,
there is a top-notch cast. JoAnn
Hall, who will be crowned May
Queen on the afternoon of the
opera, will take the part of the
wandering vagabond Connie Cir-
ry will appear as the villain. Car-
olyn Crawford is the village siren;
and Gretchen the flower vender
will be played by Susan Coltrane.
A star studded list of other senior
names completes the cast.

A big hand is due Genny Luc-
chese, over-all chairman of Sen-
ior Opera. Connie Curry is chair-
man of the writing committee.
Among her committee were Don-
na McGinty, Georgia Belle Chris-
topher, Louise Robinson, Genny
Lucchese, and JoAnn Hall. Julia
Beeman is busily doing the art
work; Carolyn Crawford, the mu-
sic; Carolyn Wells, publicity;
Ann Hanson, props; and Margaret
Williamson is in charge of the
programs and tickets. The tickets
are priced at .30 for unreserved
seats and .60 for reserved.

With the title of "Der Rural
Mural," the three-act production is
comparable to one that Gilbert
and Sullivan might have pro-
duced. Included in the program
will be a variety of approxi-
mately twenty-five songs from
such sources as Broadway musi-
cal comedies and different Ger-
man operas.

The seniors will not divulge
everything that is in store for
the audience. They just say to be-
prepared for anything- But they
have consented to give us a few
clues. The scene is a picturesque
German village. The plot is cen-
tered around discovering who is
the real artist destined to paint
the rural mural. To add to the
plot, the men in the village have
become soldiers to fight in the
war, leaving the girls sad and
lonesome. And of course there is
a love interest between a wan-
dering vagabond and a young
flower vender.

Will the real artist be discover-
ed? Will the flower vender cap-
ture the heart of Hans, the vaga-

Ailing Institution

"We should have things like that more often!" said several
different Agnes Scott students as they left chapel, Friday,
April 29, after the B O Z program. It was obvious from these
words and from the enthusiastic applause after each piece
of original writing was read, that the audience (what there
was of it) was delighted with this program.

It is unfortunate, however, that about 350 of us did not
enjoy this half hour of sharing our creative efforts. We did
not know the program would be so entertaining and so we
did not go to chapel Friday. Perhaps, we, who have been
spoken "at" in so many chapels that we squirm and turn off
our mental equipment when the first "It's a Pleasure" be-
gins, were justified in our doubt of the worth whileness of the
program.

For we have suffered, at times, from 10:30 to 11:00, but
we have as a result, at other times, enjoyed many interest-
ing programs and helpful half hours of worship. However,
our pain as well as our pleasure will soon be at an end. Un-
less something is done there may be no more chapel pro-
grams at Agnes Scott. It is hardly worth the effort for our
committees to spend hours preparing chapel programs for
one fourth of the student body. Anyway it would probably
be much nicer if everybody went to the Grill or to Thread-
gills or back to the room to study, for thirty minutes every
morning.

But if our chapel plan dies as a result of its mortal wound,
the discontinuance of checked attendance, we will have lost
an institution that has always been the chief source of com-
munity spirit and personal inspiration at Agnes Scott. E. S.

Atomic Era

We speak of the present atomic age atomic piles, reactors,
nuclear weapons and it all sounds like a hopeless mess.
What is the world becoming but a hopeless mass of atoms
with millions of potential nuclear changes that may, within
a matter of seconds, set off a gigantic chain reaction?

This week will mark the detonation of a bomb equiva-
lent to 40,000 tons of TNT at Las Vegas. Although such atomic
tests are becoming fairly common occurrences in the present
era, this particular test has caused much talk. The first test
of its kind to be observed from a distance of only a mile and
a half, the first to involve women as observers, and the first
designed to demonstrate developments and problems in the
field of civilian defense, it may well be a milestone in atomic
history. For a change, it seems it's the people, and not just
the bomb, that are drawing attention.

With all the talk about the atomic test, President Eisen-
hower's request for congressional support for an atomic
merchant ship may have been overlooked. Designed as a
peacetime vessel, this ship is to tour the world after its
launching in 1957 to "demonstrate to people everywhere
this peacetime use of atomic energy, harnessed for the im-
provement of human living."

At last the trend is from the weapon to the people, from
destruction to improvement and preservation. Is this not a
ray of hope that penetrates our hopeless mass of atoms? D. R.

Dreamer Dep
Writes of Pop

icts Lab Cuts
ular Fat Gai

By MEMYE CURTIS

In a few delicious moments of day dreaming (experienced
invariably just before the teacher pounces upon you with a
question) one can imagine all sorts of wonderful things.
"What if exams were over," you muse, "or I inherited a
million dollars, or were a raving beauty!" Fantastic things
can happen in a daydream, for '

in them everyone says exactly
what you'd like for him to say.

Teachers Declare:

"I'm sorry you failed this test,
but it doesn't matter. I won't
count it in with your grade."

' 'Since many of you will want
to cut this class each weekend,
I'll just give you mimeographed
copies of all the lectures."

"I'm glad you haven't prac-
ticed your music lesson for to-
day. Too much practicing robs
one's performance of freshness."

"Certainly you may have all
the lab cuts you want."

"Don't worry about spelling or
punctuation on your ' next paper.
Themes are so much more inter-
esting to read when they have
misspelled words."

Your roommate says:

"I hope you don't mind but
while you were away for the
weekend, I cleaned our windows,
mopped the floor, washed and
ironed the curtains, and waxed
the furniture."

"Why, I'd love to bring you
breakfast in bed every day."

"Please date my boyfriend's
brother. He's only six foot three,
but he's awfully handsome, presi-
dent of his fraternity, Phi Bete,
and captain of the football team."

Parents write:

"Now, don't work too hard at
school. Remember, grades aren't
everything."

"Of course you may have a new
formal, a suit, and three pairs
of shoes. After all, you haven't
had a new dress since a week
ago last Saturday."

"Your father and I thought per-
haps you might like to spend this
summer in an apartment of your
own in New York."

"You really shouldn't write us
so often. We'd much rather you'd
spend your time dating and play-
ing bridge."

And the man in your life comes
across with:

"Gee, I'm sorry you have a
date Saturday night, but how
about joining me for a steak din-
ner beforehand?"

"I don't like skinny girls at
all anyone who weighs under a
hundred and thirty looks anemic."
OR

"I think slender girls are so
much more attractive. It's so
appealing to see their cheek bones
poke out. You're five nine and
weigh almost a hundred pounds?
Perfect-"

"You weren't but forty-five
minutes late for our date to-
night. Are you sure I didn't rush
you too much?"

"Yes, my roommate would like
to have a blind date with your
friend. He enjoys dating girls

x

Dearest Homer:

I am very disappointed that I
have received none of your charm-
ing letters since I have begun
this awful job. People will think
you don't like me. So be a good
little mouse. Come down from
your dining hall chandelier and
help me.

Your friend,
The New Editor

who aren't too cute but have a
wonderful personality!"
We can dream can't we?

Masculinity Pays Off

Dexfer Gives Survey Results;
Compares Spelman to A.S.C

By KEO KELLER

Are you undecided about your future vocation? Do you
tend to have masculine traits? Are you majoring in English
or a foreign language? If you are, congratulations! You are
probably a leader at Agnes Scott!

These startling disclosures were made by Dr. Emily Dex-
ter, associate professor of phi-

losophy and education at a recent
meeting of the Decatur Alumnae
Association at the Alumnae
House. Miss Dexter's conclusions
were based on a study conducted
last year to determine the levels
of leadership at Agnes Scott
and Spelman Colleges.

The main reason for the study
was the recent Supreme Court
ruling which outlawed segrega-
tion in public schools. Miss Dex-
ter's purpose was to see how Ne-
gro and white leadership qualities
compared and the possible effect
in case of integration at college
level.

In determining the level of
leadership, several significant
trends were noticed. It was de-
finitely established that a ten-
dency toward masculinity is an
essential trait of leadership. You
leaders need not worry about
masculinity shooing away dates,
though, for it was also proved
that the better leaders ranked
high in both masculine and
feminine traits.

Another phase of the experi-
ment which was conducted on 40
leaders and 40 non-leaders at A. S.
C. and corresponding groups of
32 at Spelman, revealed that near-
ly 50 r/ ( of the leaders were ma-
joring in English or a foreign
language. In contrast, only 9%
of the non-leaders had chosen
these major fields.

The teaching profession is not
as attractive to leaders as to non-
leaders. However, the report also
revealed that leaders tended to be
more undecided, giving the teach-
ers some hope of recruiting a
few more into their sparsely-
filled ranks.

In discussing the qualities test-
ed by the Goodenough Speed-of-
Association Tests which were the
basis of research, Miss Dexter
explained the meaning of several
traits. For instance, femininity
implies a kind of prejudice while
masculinity can dislike one trait
but still acknowledge other good
qualities (we women must
acknowledge at least one fault.)

Final results of the test placed
A. S. C. leaders slightly higher
than Spelman's. It was stressed,
however, that the INTRA (with-

Cupid Fails To Appear at AS;
Works Overtime Out-Of-Town

By NANCY BURRITT

In the social whirl of the ASC girls last week our friend Mr. Cupid
failed to show himself in any such tangible way as fraternity pins or
engagement rings, but there are plenty of wonderful memories to
assure us that he was around.

Once again many Hottentots packed up for far away places. Up
to the mountains went Judy Brown, Jean Slade, and Genelle Breed-
love for the festivities at Sewanee. Spring Frolics at the University
of Florida was the destination of Jo Sawyer, Nancy Glasure, Ann
Harllee, and Berta Jackson. Over Auburn way Sarah Higgins,
Mert Wilson, Ryland Swain, and Nancy Edwards had a fabulous
weekend. Jackie Johnson and Gay Pound journeyed to Emory-at-
Oxford to attend the dances. South Carolina bound were Sissie Mc-
Swain, Frances Cork, and Jeanne Levie; and Pat Tooley spent the
weekend at Spring Hill, Tennessee. Mary Margaret Moody was a
guest at the Theta Chi house for the spring weekend at the Uni-
versity of Alabama. Elizabeth MacKay, Ann Scoggins, and Jean Clark
gave glorious accounts of the 'Joe College Weekend' at Duke.

It was a big weekend for the Ramblin' Recks and their best girls,
too. The Kappa Sigs really made it a memorable weekend by having
their houseparty at the same time. Cemele Miller, Nancy Nixon,
Frances Sattes, and Patsy Chastain were among the Scotties who
were guests. Sally White,' Susan Hogg, Ruth Posey, Ann-Juliet 'Gun-
ston, Mary Edna Clark, and Virginia Ferris danced on the tennis
courts to music of Woody Herman. At the SAE house Lillian Alex-
ander, Curley Jones, Billie Rainey, and Punkie Fambrough were
treated to breakfast while the Anak boys took Harriet Griffin, Pat
Sanford, Vannie Traylor, and Mickey Scott to Camellia Gardens for
an early morning snack.

Friday night the Emory med school underclassmen got together
when the sophs entertained the freshmen at a dance. Ellie Irwin,
Claire Tritt, Dot Huddleston, Memye Curtis, Caroline Phelan, and
Judy Peace went to the Naval Officers' Club at Chamblee for the
occasion.

Saturday night the Emory Betas asked Rameth Richard, Marjorie
Mallard, Marianne Sargent, Ivy Furr, and Louise Rigdon over to a
house dance. For the most part the Emory lads were too busy to
party. This weekend Dooley makes his annual visit down the row,
and lawn decorations seem to be uppermost in their minds. Come
Friday afternoon this is sure to change when the ASC belles arrive
on their campus to start the merry round of activities that make up
Dooley's Frolics.

Toodle. Here's to a kiss from Dooley.

Monday morning it was soon learned that Mr. Cupid had been
working overtime in those far away places. Jeanne Levie returned
with a beautiful engagement ring and Mert Wilson with a KA pin.
Sally Wilt came back from Florida with .a pair of wings from a naval
cadet.

A A Outlines Sport Tourneys;
Rifle Team to Compete at Bass

A new three-way process in the tennis section is making
its appearance on the sports calendar this quarter and
promises to be very successful. Manager Marijke Schepman
reports plans for a triple tournament divided into beginning,
intermediate, and advanced (Tennis Ten) classes. Players

will enlist according to their re
spective abilities, and the winners
of each of the three brackets will
compete in a final play-off. All
tennis fans, pro, amateur, or else,
are urged to take advantage of
this democratic event.

Archery and riflery are fast
becoming strong contenders in the
spring sport limelight, or so it
seems from the list of activities
for each. Riflery captain Libby
Hanson, announces that the first
Agnes Scott rifle team, composed
of eight girls, will compete in
meets with other schools.

The first event scheduled for
the team is a match with Bass
High School at a future date.

All who are taking riflery this
quarter are pressed to attend
every class. Riflery is limited to a
comparatively small group, and
there is always quite a number
on the waiting list. It is unfair
to those who were turned down
if the groups taking riflery do
not take advantage of their prac-
tices.

All potential archers are re-
quested to begin polishing their
talents in the open archery shoots
in preparation for the coming
events of the following weeks.
Manager Byrd Hoge announces
the fast developing plans for
tournaments scheduled for this
quarter. On May 4th there is to
be a William Tell Tournament,
apples and all. Beginning May
10th and extending through the
25th, a National Telegraphic
tournament is to be sponsored.
This is a new and progressive step

"After dinner" volley ball
seems the treno) these spring
twilights and the shouts coming
from the lot next to the dining
hall certainly affirm this fact.
Nets are up every evening from
6:00 to 6:40, and both "free-for-

in order. This affords a chance for
all non-athletes to work off those
pent-up emotions and extra

Friday.

Soft ball is still king of the
Spring Sports and some fast and
furious playing has been going
on somewhat unnoticed. Games
are from 4:00 to 6:00 every after-
noon and everyone, including
class cheerleaders, is urged to
come root for the home team.
Remember . . . attendance counts

Legg Leads Seniors To Victory;
Juniors Place Second In Series

By JEAN HODGENS

The decisions of the week before were reversed as the
upperclassmen triumphed over the hard fighting lowerclass-
men in Friday's softball games. The junior's 3-1 win over the
freshmen puts them in second place in the series, while the
seniors maintain top position in winning 11-10 over the

sophomores.

An improved sophomore team
showed up well against the first
place seniors who have lost only
one game this year. In the first
inning the seniors pulled ahead
4-1 and in the second and third
innings they racked up three
more runs to the soph's four. In
the fiery fifth inning the deter-
mined sophomore team took the
lead 10-7 for the first time in the
afternoon. However the seniors
in a sudden spurt of energy drove
home four runners to win the
thriller 11-10.

In the second game the juniors
and freshmen were slow in start-
ing, but in the third inning the
juniors began contacting the
"spheroid" and made three runs.
The freshmen's pitcher Martha
Meyer made her team's only run.
At the end of three innings the
juniors led 3-1. In their fourth and
last inning try the freshmen
couldn't score against Huey's

pitching and the alert fielding.
The juniors were the winners
after three and a half innings.

Senior Sally Legg and fresh-
man Martha Meyer pitched good
games, both having five strike-
outs to their credit. Carol Pine, a
new face on the sophomore team,
showed speed and skill in the
outfield. The hardest hitter of
the afternoon was Pat Paden w T ho
got a triple which broke the
senior-sophomore tie and won the
game for the upperclassmen. The
well-played games were exciting
to the unusually large crowd of
spectators who came down to
cheer their class and soak up
some afternoon sun at the same
time.

The Signal was given simul-
taneously throughout West Ger-
many red-black-and-gold flags
were hoisted over government
buildings. The ceremony symbol-
ized the formal inauguration of
the German Federal Republic,
ending a decade of occupation by
Allied forces. In celebration of the
occasion, there was SILENCE!!

Ten years ago on V-E day, Ger-
many was prostrate physically,
mentally, politically and economi-
cally. Her recovery since then has
been phenomonal. Today she is
an integral part of Western
JEurope's entire way of life. With
complete sovereignty, she reaches
the height of her triumph. Why
then, is there such apathy among
the people?

One reason lies in the de facto
sovereignty which the Germans
have exercised for several years.
Although the Big Three had veto
rights over its internal affairs,
this power was used sparingly. To
the man on the street, the new
status will mean no sweeping
changes in the democratic life to
which he has already accustomed
himself.

Germans also realize the eco-
nomic effect of their freedom.
Allied occupational forces will no
longer provide jobs for many citi-
zens. The government must also
take over the burden of raising
an t army of its own. These in-
creased government expenditures
will undoubtedly bring higher
taxes. Although there is a pros-
perous economy already estab-
lished, the change wall provide
the first test of its actual stabili-
ty.

A third factor in German nega-
tivism is its position in the cold
war. The people are well aware of
their status as a Western buffer
state against Communist aggres-
sion. With bitter memories of
past wars, the German resents
the possibility of becoming a
battleground between Eastern and
Western ideologies, especially
since his own kinsmen are now
members of the armed forces.

Most important of all, however,
is the nationalistic spirit. A united
Germany is the biggest ambition
of both East and West Germans.
The Russians have repeatedly
warned that a Western defense
alliance would block all possibili-
ties of unification. The new-
sovereignty includes just such an
alliance.

As a member of NATO, Ger-
many is committed to contribute
its share to a united European
army. Moreover, she has consent-
ed not to discuss any treaty of
unification without participation
of the Big Three. Under these cir-
cumstances, the biggest conces-
sion which Russia could possibly
be expected to make is the for-
mation of a completely neutral
state.

In case such an agreement
were reached, the details of
breaking old alliances might de-
lay final unification for months
or even years. Once formed, the

Student Disappointment

From Columbia University in New York to Tuskegee In-
stitute in Alabama, the nation's students had been excitedly
preparing for the arrival of eleven Russian student editors
in the USA, on April 19. The editors' program in the States
was to include trips to twelve American colleges and uni-
versities, midwestern factories and farms, art museums,
housing developments, public libraries and a university mu-
sic festival.

Plans had been made for the students to stay in the Desert
Sands motel in Albuquerque where there is television in
every room, sleep in fraternity houses, eat in college cafe-
terias, lunch on the Warner Brothers lot in Hollywood and
participate in other typically American activities. At last,
thought delighted American students, here is our chance to
get to know Russian young people and show them what
Americans and America are really like.

But two weeks before the editors were due to arrive, the
Soviet Foreign Ministry informed the U. S. Embassy in Mos-
cow that the editors had canceled the trip. The excuse was
that the students refused to submit to the fingerprinting re-
quired by United States law before they could receive visas.
It was, they said, "incompatible with their public standing
in the Soviet Union and with tasks of their journalistic
activities."

Our mouths drop open in America in reaction to this
astonishing and seemingly silly reason. We, who are going
casually about obtaining passports and shots in preparation
for visiting Europe this summer, cannot understand this
peculiar Russian reasoning.

Did the Russian government ever really intend to allow
the editors to visit the United States, or was all the prepara-
tion simply for propaganda purposes? Or, more fantastically,
did the students really refuse to submit to a routine require-
ment with which thousands of people visiting the U. S. com-
ply every year?

We can never know the exact reason for the cancellation
of this tour that might have brought about mutual under-
standing between at least a few Russians and Americans.
But we can be thankful that we live in a country which
does not plan good will tours for propaganda purposes and
then cancel them; and a country which does not create such
an antagonistic feeling toward other countries that even a
requirement of routine fingerprinting is thought an insult
so great that students would cancel an educational and
morally necessary trip rather than submit their fingers to
an ink pad.

This summer our democracy marches on with the feet of
students. E. S.

Hats Off

Hats off to Athletic association for a job well done in an
attempt to keep the Agnes Scott campus green!

Last week, under the supervision of A. A. members, the
ground in strategic spots on the campus was plowed up and
grass seeds were planted. Then those same A. A. members
continued the good work by standing guard over said plots
with rakes in hand and a warning in the eye.

Now, if all goes well (or if all go the right way on walk-
ways) (graduation visitors will see smooth green lawns in-
stead of a bare path where lunch-bound feet have trod.

A tip of the hat also to the business staff and the work-
men for making possible the undertaking of this beautifica-
tion program. Their year-round work to keep our campus
beautiful deserves our appreciation. J. A. N.

Flight Medals, Air Force Wings] Omwake's Students
Distinguish Ace Jet Pilot Wilt "" '

By Jo Anne Xix

Rumors are "flying" about Agnes Scott's Sally Wilt. And
those rumors have a basis, a very impressive basis such as
Sally's being the first girl and the youngest girl in the United
States to fly a jet plane. Also, a verification is in process in
Switzerland to proclaim Sally the youngest girl in the world

to pilot a jet. Sally's flair for fly-
ing began in high school when
she, at first, attended air shows,
then began to participate in the
shows herself and win state hon-
ors in speed and precision flying.

A girl of action, Sally does not
content herself with passively
sitting by and holding these fly-
ing honors. She is an active mem-
ber of the Atlanta Women's
Aviation Club and a member of
the Flying "99." Her latest ac-
complishment, however, is in the
form of a pair of Air Force wings
(not an aviation medal) from a
second lieutenant.

Campuswise, Sally is also a girl
of action. She has been a valuable
member of "Aurora" and will
head the business staff for the
coming year. She has been pro-
gram chairman of Blackfriars and
will serve as 1955 stage manager.
A member of C. A. council, Sally
organized the Girl Scout leader-
ship training conferences and
demonstrates her own ability by
playing scout leader to 26 "de-
lightful" little girls. Also quite
a shutterbug, Sally has made her-
sef indispensible to the "News"
and "Silhouette" staffs with her
candid shots of campus events.

As for future plans, Sally will
spend her next few months as

Artist, Villain Blend Talent
In Immortal Grand Opera

By Dorothy Weakley

Another opera season has come and gone, and with the
passing of it goes one of the greatest. Die Meistersenior
Opera Company presented to an audience of simply dressed
opera goers the initial and original version of Lucchese's et
al "Der Rural Mural." This new opera proved to have beauti-
ful music and unique lyrics as flowing fountain with its ivy-
well as a good plot. entwined maiden contributed

As early as 7:00 p. m. the spec- much to the authenticity of the
tators. dressed in their usual (Continued on page 4)

attire of dresses, suits, and shoes,
arrived at the Presser Hall.
Among the crowds were several
wearers of Agnes Scott rings, the
customary jewels for the occa-
sion. Policemen were stationed on
Buttrick Drive to keep the area
free from parking congestion.

At 8:03 p. m. promptly, the
lights dimmed, the clarion-pure
voice of Carolyn Crawford con-
cluded its 30-minute pre-opera
vocalization, and then the curtain
rose on the village of Easelburg,
with its maidens singing tteir
stirring opening chorus.

Jo Ann Hall and Connie Curry,
who made their debut with an-
other company several years ago
as jail birds, were well received
by the audience as a wandering
vagabond and an unquestionable
villian, respectively. Jeanne Levie
was most colorful as the Real
Artist.

The role of Gretchen, the
flower vender, was sung by Susan
Coltrane who sang with a per-
fectly controlled voice which was
rapturously sensuous in its ap-
peal. Once she almost faltered
when the flower she was frantical-
ly twisting in her hand managed
to find its way to her eye.

The Army of seventeen assort-
ed soldiers received bravos from
the audience with their thrilling
"Thinking Song."

One of the unusual highlights
of the opera was the beauty and
wide range of the recitatives
(conversations set to music) par-
ticularly those of Genny Luc-
chese, the mayor of Easelburg.

The newly designed stage sets
were well executed and showed
great skill. The continuously

Dear Editor:

In the past I have read several editorials in this newspaper per-
taining to not walking on the grass. I would like to add a few words
of wisdom to this well worked over topic.

Last Wednesday a new effort was started to plant grass. The
well worn paths were plowed up and seeds undoubtedly will be
planted. On seeing the freshly overturned ground Dr. Alston com-
mented, "Optimistic business manager I have." He is not only opti-
mistic, but unrealistic. Of course in times of leisure we can wander
along the ancient brick walks leading to old buildings, some no longer
in existence. But at 1:00 when a few seconds mean a ten minute wait,
or when it is 8:30 and a few seconds mean no breakfast, can anyone
expect us to walk on the outdated walks?

It seems to me that the sensible thing to do would be to make
some new walks that would lead where we want to go. Not only
would we have grass where there are no walks, but also it would
ease the minds of both the students who conscientiously try to walk
on the walks and those who feel guilty about not doing so.

Hottentots EnjoyHouseparties
As Spring Exams Draw Near

By XAXC Y BURKITT

Certain lads are responsible for the happy smiles on the faces of
a number of ASC cuties. Dee Walton is beaming over her engage-
ment ring and Nancy Glasure is now one of the Emory Sigma Chi
sweethearts. KAs from Tech and Emory gave their pins to Mary
MacLanahan and to Margie Hill. Congratulations are in order for
Hobby Mills whom Dooley chose to be his queen and to Barbara Sin-
clair who is sweetheart of the Sewanee Sigma Nu chapter.

With exam time drawing near, a lot of the Hottentots got away
from it all by housepartying in the mountains. Susie Miller went
with the Tech Sigma Nus, and Ivy Furr and Sheila MacConochie
spent the weekend at Pine Lake with the Phi Delt brotherhood.

Peggy Beard, Mickey Scott, Martha Meyer, Donna Walkup, and
Louise Almond packed up for a few days of fun and sun with the
K Sigs from Tech. The Betas were Tennessee bound. D!avy Crockett
wasn't around but May Muse, Anise Gann, and Nancy Wheeler re-
ported they had a fabulous time anyway.

Lake Burton was the destination of the Sigma Chi boys. Louisa
Allen, Jean Donaldson, Louise Rainey, Nancy Holland, Claire Flin-
tom, and Margaret Schilling came back to the sheltering arms with
memories of a glorious weekend.

Joanne Miklas journeyed over to the University of South Caro-
lina for a round of dances and parties. Over to Athens for the festivi-
ties at the University went Paula Ball, Evelyn Stegar, Jeanniene
Roobin and Genelle Breedlove.

With each sunny day Allatoona is becoming more popular. Alice
Johnston, Kay White, Margaret Benton, and Carol Riley have nice
sun burns to show for their afternoons on the lake.

Friday night Memye Curtis entertained the Emory Delts at a
dance and midnight supper. Jean Gregory, Sadie Burnett, Maria
Martoccia, and Sallie Greenfield were on hand for the delightful
combo and the delicious ham.

There were a few of the Tech fraternity men still on campus,
particularly SAEs. They invited Susan Coltrane, Betty Cline, Pat
Tooley, Joanna Solomon, Sally Temple, and Mary Ann Warnell over
for an ever popular house dance. The Theta Chi brothers treated
Louise Rigdon, Dtelores Ann Taylor, Evelyn Hosterman, and Rita
Rowan to a swimming party and picnic supper.

The best of luck on those little quizzes coming up, and toodle.

Seniors Emerge As Champions;
Varsity Triumphs Over Faculty

By Helen Hendry

Softball stepped down from its throne May 6, to bring
to a close another successful season of class competition.
Although only a few onlookers managed to straggle down
from the sundecks, the two games played were both a
demonstration of some of the best ball playing this year.

Congratulations certainly go to
the senior class for capturing the
championship and for turning out
an unusual record of four wins,
one tie, and one loss which goes
to show, you can't judge a batter
by the length of his beard.

In the first game, senior Julia
Boeman slammed a double in the
fifth to bring home the winning
run which clinched the game for
the upperclassmen over their
junior opponents, 6-5. The game
itself was a thriller from the
word "go." The seniors surged
ahead in the first inning with
two runs, but the juniors, by no
means the underdogs, gained force
and racked up four runs in their
next two times at bat. However,
the green team soon came
through with four runs and the
valiant attempts of the juniors in
the fifth proved to no avail.
However, both teams | played
steady and systematic ball, and
the teamwork appeared much
more polished than in the past.

In the sophomore-freshman
duel, the sophs took a strong
early lead and maintained it

throughout the game to earn a
5-4 win over the frosh. Not until
the fifth inning were the frosh
able to come through, but then a
spectacular home run hit by
Shirley MacDonald with the bases
loaded set the sophs back on their
heels and brought the score up
to a tight 5-4. The sophomores
kept their stand, however, and

the game ended in their favor.

Particularly outstanding was
the performance of newcomer
Margie Deford who played the
catching position for the winners
and who slammed a homer the
first time up at bat. Penny Smith
and Nancy Edwards, shortstops
for the sophs and frosh respec-
tively, both displayed an excel-
lent talent for catching and
scooping up balls.
The faculty-varsity game, called
off Thursday because of rain, was
played Tuesday and the varsity
won 5-4. The faculty team was
composed of such renowTied hard
hitters as capt. Dr. Hayes, Mr.

Griffin Represents Association
At National Athletic Gathering

Women's colleges all over the nation sent representatives
to Smith College, Northampton, Massachusetts, on March 30
through April 2, for a convention of the National Athletic
Federation of College Women. The ASC Athletic associa-
tion was represented by Harriet Griffin. Of the 350 girls
from 107 colleges in 32 states and demonstrations highlighted the

the District of Columbia, two
other Georgia schools, University
of Georgia and Wesleyan, were
represented.

In helpful group discussions
concerning all phases of athletic
associations, the Agnes Scott AA
compared very favorably with
those of other colleges. Har-
riet Griffin reports that the most
informative discussions were
those on the athletic association
in relation to its perspective, and
on the importance of an athletic
association in developing values
in a girl's life and in helping her
prepare for life after graduation.

Stimulating speeches were giv-
en by guest speakers, such as

Sonnet

To A Liberal Arts Education

By GEORGIA BEIXE
CHRISTOPHER

O fie upon foul essays and chapel
talks that vow

Our labor here is a vain esthetic
ruse!

Forsmooth, he is indeed a purblind
sow

Yea, into the arts we've delved

And math higher than Tech's
we've explored

Although we may study the sky

We can still wein our bread and
board

Our cream we can measure by
cc.'s

We'll detect the flat note of the
lark

And we can always write critical
papers

On the artistry of quotation
marks.

So on our kitchen wall where we
can ever look

Our diploma will remind us we
can read and therefore cook.

ASC Music Faculty
Appears In Recital

Organ, piano, and violin works
were heard by seniors and their
parents and friends on Saturday,
June 4, at 8:00 p. m. in Gaines
chapel. The varied music program
was presented by the Music De-
partment faculty members.

Mr. Raymond Martin, Associate
Professor of Music, began the
program with an organ composi-
tion: "Benedictus" by Reger. Mrs.
Lillian Gilbreath, instructor in
Piano, played Chopin's "Mazur-
ka, Op. 30, No. 3," Szymanowski's
"Etude, Op. 4, No. 3," and
Dohnanyi's "Etude-Capriccio, Op.
28, No. 6."

"Menuet in D" by Mozart,
"Ave Maria" by Schubert Wil-
helmij, and "Hejre Kati" by
Hubay were the violin selections
of Mr. Adams, Assistant Profes-
sor of Music, accompanied by Mr.
Jay Fuller, instructor in Piano.
Mrs. Irene Leftwich Harris, In-
structor in Piano, and Mr. Mi-
chael McDowell, Professor of Mu-
sic, concluded the program with
a number of two-piano works:
"Organ Fugue in G minor" by
Bach-Mednikoff, "Introduction
and Rodo alia Burlesca" by Brit-
ten, and the Romance and Taran-
tella from Rachmaninoff's "Suite
No. 2, Op. 17."

Lecture Association Charts
55-56 Program Schedule

Miss Mildred Mell, faculty chairman of Lecture association,
announces that plans have already been made for a varied
program of lectures to be presented during the 1955-56 ses-
sion. A complete program for the year will be given to all
students early in the fall.

Dr. Margaret Mead, a national-
ly known social anthropologist
who is at present connected with
the American Museum of Natural
History in New York City, will
speak on January 16.

A performance of Shakespeare's
Much Ado About Nothing will be
given next February 20 by Play-
ers Incorporated, a touring com-
pany of actors which has appear-
ed twice before at Agnes Scott.

Sometime during the winter
quarter Robert Frost, brought by
the College and sponsored by
Lecture association, will make his
traditional visit to our campus.
His usual schedule includes talks
with groups of students from the
various English classes, as well
as the regular evening reading of
his own poetry.

Although the committee has
made no definite decision about
the speaker to appear during the
fall quarter, the faculty members
are considering several student
suggestions: Alastair Cooke, nar-
rator of the television program,
Omnibus; John Mason Brown,
noted journalist; and many of
the modern poets. The final choice
will be announced in the fall.

Miss Carrie Scandrett was
hostess at a tea given on Thurs-
day, May 19, honoring the faculty
advisors, senior members, and
new members of Lecture associa-

Good - By

"Sometimes a lantern moves along the night,

That interests our eyes. And who goes there?
I think; where from and bound, I wonder, where,

With, all down darkness wide, his wading light?

Men go by me whom either beauty bright

In mould or mind or what else makes rare:
They rain against our much-thick and marsh air

Rich beams, till death or distance buys them quite.

Death or distance soon consumes them: wind

What most I may eye after, be it at the end
I cannot, and out of sight is out of mind. ,,

Class of '55, these verses by Gerard Manley Hopkins ex-
press what we cannot bring ourselves to say. We know, all
too well at this graduation time, that human contacts are
brief and that we may never see you, our friends, again.

We sadly say, "Good-by we will miss you," and that is
all that one can say at parting. E- S.

SUMMERTIME

"Summertime, and the livin' is easy Yes, school is over
for another year, textbooks are thrown aside, trunks are
packed, and hundreds of students head home, abroad, and
to all parts of this country for the summer.

Many will be the new experiences in store for the vaca-
tioner during these next few months. The lure of travel, both
at home and abroad, the good times and book-learnin' of
summer school sessions, the chance to "get rich" working
for the home-town insurance company all offer invaluable
opportunity for the broadening of horizons and enrichment
of individual thought and accomplishment during the sum-

mer.

That's just it. Are we sure that we'll be making the most
of the days that lie before us? Just as travel without imagi-
nation, an open mind and open eyes lacks stimulation, so
classes in summer school, an office job, or even counseling
at a summer camp can lose their savor if not entered into
with a spirit of adventure and a quest for ever expanding
experience and knowledge.

Yes, it's summertime, a time for easy, leisurely, but not
lackadaisical living. Through these coming months, wherever
we may be and whatever we may be doing, let us try to
find in the situation at hand a chance for growth and expan-
sion. The same opportunities perhaps may never present
themselves to us again. At the end of our vacation period,
each of us will truly be able to echo the words of Tenny-
son's Ulysses: "I am a part of all that I have met." D. R.

Student Describes Myopia
Embarrasses Shakespeare

(Ed. Note: The following is an example of what the seniors are now escaping
attempt at a "Tragic Vision" paper for Dr. Hayes.)

a junior's frustrated

By MEMYE CURTIS

Although much of Shakespeare's life is shrouded in
mystery, the scholar who with dedication studies the works
of the man can find out much about the life of the man. Do
not let the commentaries mislead you; Shakespeare's work
is autobiographic. It is to prove this theory and to throw
light on a hitherto unexplored '

side of Shakespeare's personality
that I have made this study.

What was tragic about Shake-
speare's vision? Just this: he was
near-sighted. Being a victim of
myopia, Shakespeare projected
his own defeat into his characters.
The most valuable example of this
projection is Macbeth, who is in-
credibly near-sighted. Once Mac-
beth cries out: "Is this a dagger
which I see before me . . .?" Note
the question mark at the end; it
has great significance, the myopic,
after having discovered countless
times that his vision deludes him,
may cease stating "I see a . .
and ask instead, "Is this a . . .?"
thus saving himself the embar-
rassment of being mistaken. But
this time he acts upon his thought

and reaches to clutch the dagger,
only to find that it is not there.
It is luckier, in a way to discover
that an object is not there than
to discover that an nobject one
didn't see is there (after having
run into it.)

Another important element of
Shakespeare's vision was his
ability to see various levels. I'm
not quite sure just what this im-
plies, but include it because
teachers and books say that it is
true, and since this study is to
be a complete one, this point
should be mentioned.

Perhaps the levels that Shake-
speare saw were those found in
houses in which one has to go
up three steps to the dining room
then down four to the kitchen.
However, this theory is doubtful,

Salt Air Arouses Wanderlust
As Students Plan Grand Tour

By CATHERINE GIRARDEAU

Agnes Scott will be well represented abroad this summer
both South of the Border and on the Continent. This seems
to be THE year to travel, so if you really want to get into
the swing of things, just stow away on the next outgoing
steamer. At least twenty-eight lucky girls are planning
summer tours, with the members

of the rising senior class well in
the lead. Don't be surprised if
you find yourself in the midst of
Agnes Scott reunions at every
city on your agenda.

Brownell-sponsored tours, which
give their members a well-round-
ed view of Europe, have been
chosen by the following: Claire
Flinton, Nancy Jackson, Judy
Brown, Alice Johnson, Mary Ann
Warnell, Harriet Griffin, Mar-
garet Minter, Mary Hobby Mills,
and Margaret Benton. Mary
Hobby and Margaret Benton, who
are going over together, plan to
spend three weeks of their time
in Spain.

NSA has attracted Agnes Scott
students with its interesting and
economical programs. Berta Jack-
son, Vannie Traylor, M. E.
Knight, Ann Hoover, Ann Allred,
and Barbara Battle will tour
Europe under NSA auspices.

Eleanor and Ryland Swain's
trip is centered around the cen-
tennial celebration of the YMCA
in Paris, which will absorb eleven
days of their time. They will be
meeting YMCA youth from other
countries and staying in college
dorms with youth camps as they
travel through Europe. Nancy
Thomas plans to go to Europe on
a tour and will be with her father
part of the time. Marty Camp
is going with the Junaluska
Travel Association.

Visits to relatives have been the
inspirations for several trips.
Gene Allen Reinero and her room-
mate Cat Hodgin are going to
see Gene's sister Caroline, who
graduated from Agnes Scott last
year and is now studying in Spain.
Carolyn Wells plans to visit her
sister, who is in Germany.
Marijke Schepman is going with
her parents on a European visit

which will include a stop in Hol-
land, where Marijke has relatives.
Sheila MacConochie will be hunt-
ing and fishing in the Scotch
Highlands while she visits her
relatives.

Mexico is French student Katy
Blondeau's destination after she
completes her year here at Ag-
nes Scott. Nancy Hale and Eliza-
beth MacKay are going to Ha-
waii and will stay with the lat-
ter's sister-in-law. Henrietta
Camp will be in Cuba for part of
the summer.

since Shakespeare declares that
his faulty vision makes it diffi-
cult for him to judge distances
in climbing stairs. He says, in
fact, that in going up one step he
often "o'erleaps (himself) and
falls upon the other."

Or perhaps Shakespeare had
X-ray vision, like Superman. But
if Shakespeare could have seen
inside of people he would have
been better informed about them
physiologically, and would not
have made such statements as:
"I have said too much unto a
heart of stone"; "O, full of scor-
pians is my mind, dear wife!";
"My heart was to thy rudder tied
by strings."; "At the first sight
they have changed eyes."

There is some question, too,
about Shakespeare's insight. Was
he crosseyed? Perhaps he was
like Gertrude when she said,
"Thou turnest mine eyes into my
very soul . .

Even after my scholarly re-
search, I must modestly admit
that there may possibly remain
a few facts regarding Shake-
speare to uncover. All later re-
search done by others will, of
course, be based upon this monu-
mental work. I, then, leave the
great task for those to follow,
for I, like Prospero, have buried
my ball point pen.

History Reveals Activities, Memories Of Seniors

By CONNIE CURRY

One time the leaves turned red in the fall,
Some freshmen came to our Inman Hall,
A little unsure of that which they sought,
But their hearts were filled with dreams.

September 15, 1951, one hundred and fifty-five freshmen added to the Agnes Scott ranks,
and that was us, the Class of 1955 in full force. No one seems to remember clearly the
maze of our Orientation; in fact, the only outstanding memory is that of loading buses
to go to a square dance at Emory to meet their freshmen. Our sentiments were ex-
pressed perfectly by an Emory boy who watched as we climbed off and on the buses,

en masse. "Just like a herd of r * .

skit win the competition, make it

cattle," he said. The college must
' have realized immediately that
with our freshmen class the age
of liberalism was in at Agnes
Scott. A very few weeks after
classes began, the age-old rule of
10:45 lights-out for freshmen was
changed to 11:30 the first sign
of greater things to come.

To state a historical fact, our
first unified attempt to show our
dramatic talents was a flop. Our
Black Cat skit, with Ann Allred
fainting into Jane Nelson's arms
after a chaotic search for a stray
feline, was definitely the cause of
changing the Black Cat from a
display of freshmen talent to a
school-wide talent show. A slight-
ly redeeming factor, however,
was that our entry in the Alma
Mater contest won second place.

To the pride of our class, our
beginning at Agnes Scott was si-
multaneous with the official be-
ginning of Dr. Alston's presiden-
cy of the college. After his mem-
orable inauguration on October
23, he was also installed as Presi-
dent of the 1951-52 Hockey Sea-
son, receiving, as a gift from our
class, a necklace bearing the in-
scription, "Lucky Strike Means
Fine Tobacco."

One-legged Pajamas

That fall also saw the first
stirrings of a segment in our class
who felt that protection of society
was their bounden duty. Thus we
saw Jane Nelson, Erline Lide, and
Jamie McKoy carefully covering
the nakedness of the statue in the
Alumnae Garden Pond with the
bottom half of Jane's pajamas'
leg. (Note: she is still wearing
these one-legged pajamas.) I
don't know what our affinity to
that pond was, but that same sea-
son showed Pat Paden, Georgia
Syribeys, and Molly Pritchard
happily emerged in it one night.
The next morning the goldfish
were paddling leaves only, since
one of the girls had kicked the
stopper out of the pond floor.
This incident precipitated a rule
never before conceived at Ag-
nes Scott; the following Wednes-
day in Convocation Dr. Alston
announced that there must be
absolutely no swimming in the
Alumnae Pond.

Our group of freshmen in Lup-
ton began the first concept of
universal military training at Ag-
nes Scott. Each freshman who
could pass the ordeal of repeating
the oath without smiling was
hurriedly enlisted into the ranks
of the famous Brownie Patrol. A
rival organization, operating out
of Birmingham and sponsored by
Kitten Cumbee, was known as the
T. W. A.'s (Teeny Weeny Agents) ;
it tried to infiltrate the class, but
it never got beyond the cell stage.

Junior Jaunt with the theme of
"L'Esprit de Paris" was soon up-
on us, the story of which I can
relate with absolute clarity. Joann
Hall was our Queen, Libby Wil-
son our money chairman, and
Connie Curry our skit chairman.
"Listen," said the seniors to Con-
nie, "if you want to make your

just as suggestive as possible; try
to appeal to the male audience."
Well, we did just that, with Lib
McPheeters gracing the stage in
a blue nylon negligee in an
amazing bedroom scene with
Hannah Jackson. That is we did
it until faculty censor night ,at
which time the Class of 1955
thought their career at Agnes
Scott was ended, and Connie was
sure that her reputation was
blighted forever. Eight weeping
freshmen listened to Miss Scand-
rett ask how we could conceive
of Paris in such a sordid light and
if we could think up some things
without such connotations. The
final results meant our writing a
new skit between Thursday and
Saturday night. Undaunted and
with a complete reversal of tac-
tics, we produced "Less Misera-
ble" with an entire male cast.

Spring of our freshmen year
brought a most unforgettable
event. For weeks the campus
shuddered under the threat of a
panty-raid by Emory and Georgia
Tech youth. The Decatur and At-
lanta police and the Georgia mi-
litia must have surrounded our
campus, and Dr. Alston and Mr.
Stukes walked a nightly beat in
front of Main. With policemen
playing cards on dormitory porch-
es and having parties in the base-
ment of the dining hall, with
threatening calls telling that a
line of one-thousand cars filled
with hopeful boys was en route
to Agnes Scott, and with advice
from the Dean's office to please
not wave "things" out the win-
dows, there was a reign of chaos
that ended in absolutely nothing
but relief for the girls who had
sat up all night from fear and
disappointment for those who had
sat up all night in anticipation.

Other memories from that year
include our wondering what color
Ann Turnipseed's hair was going
to be the following day, seeing a
certain freshman come to Sun-
day dinner with black paint up
the backs of her legs to pass for
stocking seams, hearing the "rats"
in the attic of Inman, and keeping
in touch with each other that
summer through our two publica-
tions Echoes and Whispers.
II

"And then we lived those years

in between
The shapes of dreams began to

be seen

Their patterns formed and slow-
ly they grew
And hopes were renewed again."

Our sophomore year our hopes
certainly were renewed again.
The class was united in Rebekah
except for about three sophomores
in Main. We came back in Sep-
tember bursting with spirit and
absolutely determined to win the
Class Spirit Cup that year. As
soon as everyone was back, we
began to plan the party that we
were to give the new freshmen
class as part of their Orientation
Program. The party featured a
skit entitled Daze Ahead or Pre-
views of Coming Distractions, in

which Julia Beeman gave her best
performance as one of those hor-
rifying rushees at fraternity rush
parties.

"Dumb Bunny" Jins
Some of that '55 originality was
displayed with reference to Hon-
ors Day that fall. Mortar Board
gave their annual luncheon for
all those who had made Honor
Roll, and each girl received a little
pin with "smarty cat" written on
it. A few days later the sopho-
mores who had not made the
Honor Roll met together for lunch
in the dining hall proudly display-
ing huge "dumb bunny" pins.

When Black Cat rolled around
that year, it seemed certain that
all success in the line of our dra-
matic talents was dead. Saturday
afternoon came, the entire class
was in town or at the football
game, and in desperation M. E.
Knight, Connie Curry, and Louise
Robinson learned six verses of
"I'm an Old Cowhand" to be sung
along with Nancy Clark's guitar
accompaniment and Mary Hood's
ballet. That night the three sing-
ers blanked completely on the
words and stood there wildly
waving their cowboy hats while
the guitar-player and dancer dili-
gently carried on. It is only after
the passing of several years that
these three can begin to look back
and laugh at that terrible epi-
sode. Once again, however, our
song, "Right in the Midst of Dixie-
land" won second place in tlje
competition.

Class Motto

If you ask Sarah Petty what
she remembers most vividly from
our sophomore year, she will say
"Playing Betsy Ross for a solid
two weeks." The result of her
work, however, was our black and
gold banner bearing our class
motto, "Ad Astra per Aspera."
(Note: this motto was taken from
a Latin book, not from wrapper of
Pall Mall cigarettes.) Each class
member received a black and gold
'55 cap, and we marched down to
the first hockey game, bearing
our new banner and led by the
spirit of the sophomores, Chief
Yatilyitch (Dinty Sands in an
Indian costume). Our efforts were
rewarded, because we copped the
hockey championship.

Then, there was that unforget-
table night when screams, panic
and eight policemen invaded the
solitude and peace of Rebekah
Scott Hall. Mary Land had seen
and heard a man on the fire es-
cape outside her bedroom window.
Frightened girls in towels and
other interesting apparel huddled
together in corners of the halls,
until the police with guns and
flashlights apprehended the cul-
prit just one of our spirited
sophomores, Pat Paden, whose
only comment was, 'Since when
does Mary Land think men wear
pink pajamas,"

By Junior Jaunt time that year
we had at last found the key to
absolute success in the skit-
writing world. The entire secret
lies in finding a plot, and the skit
committee, headed by Donna Mc-
Ginty finally found one. The re-
sult was our masterpiece "Georgie
Crackles" or "The Burning of At-
lanta." With Kitten Cumbee and
JoAnn Hall starring as southern
belles, Bunny Hall in a garbage
can as "Po' White Trash," our
beautiful streetcar named Desire,
and the rest of us marching
through in "Union Suits," we won
first place in the skit competition
without a single "connotation"
or shady line.

Sophomore Spirit

Other efforts to show our soph-
omore spirit were the identifica-
tion cards for class members, the
cards on each table in the dining
room wishing everyone a "Happy
Valentines' Day from the Sopho-
mores," and Sophomore Spirit
Day when we wore our caps and
all ate lunch together in the din-
ing hall. In the spring came the
great reward the cup given an-
nually to the class showing the
most spirit was ours.

That second year "in between,"
our class was scattered all over
the campus. This fact definitely
was a hindrance to a strong dis-
play of junior spirit, but we did
manage to muster up enough vi-
tality to win the hockey champion-

Muse Sings From Tower;
Unveils Events of Future

By DONNA McGINTY

Sing, ye Spirit of Agnes Scott, the future of the class of
1955. Sing merrily or sadly, lightly or seriously but sing!
You have watched us silently for four years, from your perch
in the tower of Main. When we laughed and talked and cried
you were qiliet.

Now, oh Spirit, descend and
walk among us. This is your day!
Sing softly but clearly, in my ear,
the prophecy of the class of
1955, that I may relate it faith-
fully.

MARY LOVE L'HEUREUX has
organized a Bohemian art group
on the Left Bank in Paris. Other
members include HELEN FOKES
and HARRIET STOVALL. When
they aren't sketching they're
cruising down the Seine, in a
second hand gondola.

JULIA BEEMAN and MOLLY
PRICHARD are still in Washing-
ton, D'. C. Beeman has refused an
appointment as United States
Ambassador to France in order
to edit the "Congressional
Record." Molly has been appoint-
ed historiographer for the Re-
publican version of American his-
tory.

The den in SANDRA DICK-
SON'S and Jimmy's new house
is an exact replica of the back
room on the lower floor of the
Hub.

TRUDY AWBREY has signed a
contract with Merriman's Reduc-
ing Pills, Inc. She is to be photo-
graphed in a wrap-around Turkish
towel and labeled "after."

NANCY CLARK, inspired by
those romantic, by-gone days of
'54 and '5, has written another
song for her guitar: "Hans Across
the Table."

MARGARET WILLIAMSON is
still running around trying to get
Four Quartets autographed, but
the Ink Spots are dead and the
Four Freshmen have graduated.

MARY HOOD GIBSON, NOR-
MA ADAMS PIDGEON, JEAN-
NE HEISLEY ADAM, ANNE
ROSSELOT CLAYTON, MAE
FORTSON, BARBARA WARD
HALE, BEVtRLY WATSON
HOWIE, ANN HEMPERLY
DOBBS, CALLIE McARTHUR
ROBINSON, JANE DAVIDSON
TANNER, and CAROL MILLER
WILLIAMS have collaborated on
a book which studies, chronologi-
cally, the "better-half's" develop-
ment from the primitive hair-
pulling stage to the modern hair-
pulling stage. It is entitled "From
the Cave to Frank Loyd Wright,"
or "There's Nothing New Under
the Sun."

CACKEY -EICHELBERGER'S
maried name is Jones. It couldn't
have happened to a nicer girl!

ANN HANSON is a private sec-
retary to Jose Gonzales, the fieFy
Spanish bullfighter. To get the
job she had to dye her hair black.

CONNIE CURRY is currently
battling a breach-of-promise suit
which was filed by Jack Gill.
Since she is so politically re-
nowned the whole affair has
been adequately satirized in both
Pogo and Little Abner.

The grand piano which SUE
WALKER made her professional
musical debut with, now rests in
a prominent spot in the Smithson-
ian Institute.

MICKEY SCOTT has gone the
way of her ancestors. She is hang-
ing in a Main date parlor.

The Agnes Scott Modern
Drama textbook, From Ghosts to
Death of a Salesman, has been re-

vised. It ' is now entitled From
Ghosts to PAT HALE.

GRACIE GREER has replaced
John Daly as panel chairman for
"What's My Line." WILMA HAT-
CHEL signed in on the program
and won the jackpot. Her line is:
chief jet test pilot for the Doug-
las Aircraft Company.

GENNY LUCCHESE, CARO-
LYN WELLS, and CONNIE
BALLAS have marketed a new
perfume for biology majors. It
has a formaldehyde base.

Shortly after ANDY SMITH
and Vereen were married, she
blew up their apartment in a mid-
night chemistry experiment.
PAULINE WALLER, a represent-
ative for the Atomic Energy Com-
mission, has asked her for the
formula.

ANNE Mcpherson, and jo

ANN MCCARTHY have organized
a Dr. Posey Fan Club, complete

pins. They hold regular meetings
on Monday; Wednesday and Fri-
day at nine-thirty.

LOUISE "ROBIN" ROBINSON
and MARILYN VANCE star in
the Sadler Well's production of
"Swan Lake." Marilyn does a
beautiful job in the leading role;
Robin is commendable as the
swan in the lake.

RUTH POSEY is a prominent
member of the International Set
wintering in Miami, springing
in Spain, summering in Canada,
and falling in Rome.

JANE GAINES is a Colonel in
the women's division of the Navy's
"Frogmen." She takes under-
water movies of demolition
squads.

That portrait of a lady, SARAH
PETTY, has gone berserk. The
latest Jon Whitcomb illustration
has her in a peasant's blouse, with
a dew-covered rose in her teeth,
running her fingers through a
crew-cut.

ANN ALLRED is the most con-
troversial literary figure since
Mickey Spillane. Her latest novel,
Love is for the Birds, has been
filmned by M. G. M. and stars
Marlon Brando as the inarticu-
late hero.

JANE NELSON'S sculpture has
been awarded the Goodhouse-
keeping Seal of Approval.

LIBBY WILSON and her
Charlie are still being mistaken
for newly weds.

CAROLYN CRAWFORD and J.

A large group of our class spent
their junior year on Fourth Main,
and stories from them could fill
the remaining pages of this his-
tory. From the march of the mil-
lion ants in the hall to Paden's
snail raid, the year bordered on
mass hysteria, but by far the
greatest mystery concerned a cer-
tain plot against D'inty Sands.
One night a clothes stand adorn-
ed in Jo Anne McCarthy's formal
was rigged up in front of Dinty's
door. More paraphernalia all con-
nected with a large box of soap
flakes was also fixed to collapse

Parties, Picnics Fete Seniors;
Class Day Climaxes Activities

Agnes Scott's seniors have just completed four years of
school work, and as a fitting climax they have been relaxing
with a round of parties, picnics, teas, and all the traditional
senior activities which fill the pre-graduation schedule.
Most of the school departments have entertained their stu-

dent majors, and the major pro-
fessors have in turn been feted
by the students.

The sopnomore class honored
the seniors with a Bon Voyage
party on May 11 during the
chapel period. Refreshments were
served, and entertainment in the
form of skits and songs was pre-
sented. On May 27 the junior
class invited the seniors to an
exam tea immediately following
the afternoon exam. Sherbet,
ginger ale, and cookies were
served.

The activities following exams
began with a picnic on Thursday,
June 2 at Pine Lake. The seniors
spent the day there and enjoyed
a picnic lunch prepared for the
occasion by the school and the
class.

The Alumnae luncheon held in
the Letitia Pate Evans dining
hall at 12:30 on Saturday started
the program of senior events for
the day. At 4:30 the traditional
Class Day program was held in
the May Day Dell. The sister
sophomore class carried the daisy
chain. The senior class presented
a gift, a record collection, to the
school. The class sponsors, DV.
Frierson and Mrs. Lapp, and the
class mascot, Judy Rogers, were
also given, gifts. Georgia Belle
Christopher read the class poem,
and Connie Curry gave the class
history. The last will and testa-
ment was presented by Genny
Lucchese, and Donna McGinty
prophesied the class's future. The
procession then moved to the
quadrangle, forming there a big
"S" with the daisy chain and sing-
ing the senior song, "Each Time
the Leaves Turn Red in the Fall,"
and the Alma Mater.

Saturday night at 8:30 the
music faculty gave a concert in
Presser hall. This was followed
by book burning, the traditional
ceremony in which each senior
burns the notes or book of her
most detested course. After-
wards the group moved to the
lawn in front of Campbell hall,
there to cap the juniors with
mortar boards and to invest them
with senior responsibility.

From 5:30 to 6:30 the seniors,
their families and guests, and the
faculty were invited to a dinner
in the dining hall given by the
college. Dr. and Mrs. Alston en-
tertained with an after-dinner
coffee for the group in the Re-

bekah reception room.

Georgia Belle Christopher was
in charge of the senior vesper serv-
ice on Sunday afternoon at 5:00
in MacLean chapel. This consisted
of a worship service with choral
and instrumental music, litanies
and prayers. The theme of this
worship program was the past
value of the school to the students
and the future life and responsi-
bilities of the students.

The permanent officers for the
class are Connie Curry, president,
and Harriet Stovall, secretary.
They are to be in charge of re-
unions and to work with the
Alumnae association.

when Dinty opened the door. Next
morning all of Fourth Main waited
breathlessly for Dinty to leave
her room. What a surprise to see
Dinty walking around on the
campus all day with the entire
traps unmoved and intact still
outside her door; there is no fire
escape outside her window.

Doubtlessly, the major part of
our year was concerned with our
giant Junior Jaunt production,
"Dreamer's Holiday." For success
in costuming we owe our thanks
to Jeanne Levies contributions
from the costume store in Michi-
gan and definitely to the inventor
of "sparkly stuff." Memories of
the show include Genny Lucchese
poised in a ballet step for five
minutes waiting for the record to
begin, the Grafton twins as our
Queen, the precision dance of the
space cadets, and the escape of
the two convicts to 'do "Swinging
on a Star."

Spring quarter we remember
our Junior Banquet with the Old
South theme, Mortar Board's
tapping Margaret Williamson as
President and later selecting
thirteen other members of our
class, and our winning the Ath-
letic Cup for the year.

To many students, 1954-55 will

Marshall Lunches At AS;
Attends Trustee

By ELEANOR SWAIN

"This is my first meeting of the trustees and it is all very
new and wonderful," said Mrs. Catherine Marshall, who was
on the Agnes Scott Campus Friday, June 3. After the morn-
ing meeting of the trustees, Mrs. Marshall, along with the
other trustees on campus for the meeting, had lunch in the
Agnes Scott dining hall with

members of the administration
and a group of juniors.

At the luncheon Mrs. Marshall,
who was dressed in a simple navy
shantung suit, chatted with the
juniors present and revealed
some interesting answers to the
questions that students at Agnes
Scott have wondered about since
the release of her book "A Man
Called Peter" in movie form.

Explaining her reaction to this
movie version of the story of her
husband, Dr. Peter Marshall's
life, Mrs. Marshall was enthusi-
astic. She feels that the spirit of
the book version of Dr. Marshall's
life "comes through with integri-
ty" in the movie. She was pleased
that the story was not "Holly-
woodized," though she found a
few small faults in the film.

With a smile, Mrs. Marshall
agreed with the Agnes Scott
community's feeling that some of
the sets were a little too elab-
orate. She singled out for this
criticism, particularly the dean's
office at Agnes Scott and the of-
fice of the President of Columbia
Seminary. However, she stated
that the other faults she could
find in the movie were not im-
portant enough to mention.

Mrs. Marshall paid a tribute to

the campus when she mentioned
the attitude of Mr. Engle, the
producer of the movie, to Agnes
Scott. She said that the movie
producers eyes light up at the
very mention of Agnes Scott. He
says that after the wonderful
treatment he received here he
thinks there is no place like it.
It was his first real taste of
Southern hospitality. She said
that Mr. Todd, who played the
part of Peter Marshall, also en-
joyed his stay on campus very
much.

When asked about her next
book, Mrs. Marshall replied that
it was to be a sequel to "A Man
Called Peter," taking up the story
where the last book ended. How-
ever, she said that the publicity
and mail resulting from the movif
had so "riddled" her year that
the book was about nine months
behing schedule.

Mrs. Marshall, herself a quiet
dignified person, was concerned
about the turmoil createo) on
campus during the filming of "A
Man Called Peter." She "wonders
if the professors will ever forgive
her" for being the cause of such
confusion. Mrs. Marshall left
Atlanta Saturday, June 4, for a
visit on a plantation in South
Carolina.

Faculty To Travel, Study, Teach
During Summer Vacation Days

By MAY MUSE

Most of Agnes Scott's students have already completed
plans for the summer plans for travel, camp, new jobs, or
June weddings. But Agnes Scott's faculty are not to be over-
shadowed; most of them are planning some new adventure
in travel or study, and all of them will return to school next
year with refreshing and stimu-
lating ideas. Since it was impossi-
ble to track down all the faculty,
a sampling of their summer plans
includes:

Miss Josephine Bridgman, pro-
fessor of biology, plans to spend
most of the summer at the Ma-
rine Biological Laboratory at
Woods Hole, Massachusetts. She
has already spent a number of
summers there, and she will do
research on a protozoan problem.
Later in the summer she hopes
to attend a meeting of the Ameri-
can Institute of Biological Sci-
ences at East Lansing, Michigan.

Miss Margaret Phythian, pro-
fessor of French, will spend the
first part of the summer in Ver-
mont. There she will have access
to many interesting lectures and
discussions at Middlebury Col-
lege.

Many of our faculty plan to
stay here in Decatur or Atlanta
during the summer. Dr. S. Guerry
Stukes, dean of faculty, says he
plans to "work like the mischief"
with the school records and new
admissions. Dr. Wallace M. Alston,
president, will stay here a good
part of the time looking after the
building of the new dormitory.
He has planned several short
trips and possibly a vacation. Dr.
W. J. Frierson, professor of
chemistry, plans to continue his
research on chromatography here
at school; he will be working with
Mrs. D'iane Rousseau.

Miss .Ellen Douglass Leyburn,
associate professor of English,
says, 'I just want to stay at home

VERA WILLIAMSON

Annual Book Prize
Honors Williamson

A year of reading and collect-
ing books was culminated this
morning for Vera Williamson of
Augusta, Georgia, as she was
awarded the coveted Louise Mc-
Kinney Book Award.

The judges of the 1955 Book
Award contest were the perma-
nent members of the Award com-
mittee, Miss Emma May Laney,
professor of English, and Miss
Ellen Douglass Leyburn, associ-
ate professor of English. Serving
as visiting judges were Mrs. Edna
Byers, college librarian and Mrs.

ton, assistant professor of Eng-
lish, is the chairman of the com-
mittee.

Each year the McKinney Book

nes Scott student who acquires,
during the current year from
May to May, the most interesting
and discriminating personal li-

Four ASC Students
To Attend Congress

Four Agnes Scott students will
participate in the Eighth Nation-
al Student Congress which will be
held at the University of Min-
nesota in Minneapolis August 21
to August 31. Connie Curry, Great
Southern Region Chairman of the
National Student Association;
Sarah Davis, Great Southern Re-
gion Secretary; Sis Burns, N. S.
A. Chairman on the Agnes Scott
campus; and Louisa Allen, Agnes
Scott delegate will attend this
congress which is planned by the
United States N. S. A.

At the National Student Con-
gress delegates will exchange
ideas on student government
work and form the policies of the
National Student Association.

dates are welcome. The smoking
code was discarded, lights and
water rules were suspended, the
Honor System was revised, a new
Student Government pledge w r as
begun, ten minutes of lateness
were permitted per quarter, and
at long last, lunches were provided
for our practice teachers.

Our senior year was certainly
honored by the filming of "A
Man Called Peter" on our campus.
Richard Todd became a familiar
figure in the Hub, that is if you
could see him through the piles
of girls. Students sat up each
night planning their color com-
binations of pink, orange, purple,
fuschia and red, so that they
would be chosen the next day as
extras in the technicolor produc-
tion. When the movie was finally
released we went to see Mary
Alice Kemp and Molly Prichard
playing hockey and Margie Ford-
ham going to church, although
many said that Jean Peters and
Richard Todd did very well in
their parts. It has also been fun
allowing the public to labor under
the illusion that we each have a
private colored mammy and a
room like Catherine Marshall's.

Our senior year will be mem-
orable because the school's en-
dowment was increased by four
and one-half million dollars. The
best spending plan, although it
was rejected by the trustees, was
to divide the money equally be-
tween seniors who had no post-
graduation plans.

For Black Cat we reached the
epitome of our musical talents,
winning first place again with
our song "Each Time the Leaves
Turn Red in the Fall." Our last
childhood fling, on Little Girls'
Day was wet, that is from water
pistols; also, one tot was so
flustered that she carried a light-
ed cigarette from the Hub, and
M. E. Knight fulfilled her life-
long desire to hug Dr. Posey. t)ur
Investiture program was unfor-
gettable with Mrs. Sims giving
a talk on "Women as Citizens."
Also, fall quarter we proved that
seniors are not crotchety, de-
cadent beings; we carried away
the hockey championship for the
third consecutive year.

riemembered as the ones who
brought the blazers to Agnes
Scott. M. E. Knight lost twenty
pounds in the process of getting
them here, but when "Blazer
Day" dawned, seventy proud girls
paraded over the campus in their
oxford gray jackets with the
white Agnes Scott seal.

"Two Fleas"

Junior Jaunt showed that we
were old hands at writing skits.
With Donna as chairman, the
dramatic talents of Trudy, the
steel balls of Connie Queeg, and
the biological apparatus of Dr.
Luigi Lucchese, we triumphed in
first place for our "Two Fleas
or Not Two Fleas."

This was also the year of in-
dependent study paper, and don't
think that the girls writing them
were the only ones that suffered.
One addled senior who was
writing on Stalin and Roosevelt
kept Third Main awake for nights
by talking in her sleep about her
plans to conquer Russia. Also,
the entire senior class gave their
life blood to help grow Genny
Lucchese's root tips. Genny was
never seen without two or three
bottles which she carried in her
blouse pocket, until the chloro-
form began to destroy the ma-
terial, at whicn time she moved
the bottle to a safer and more
secluded place on her person.

This quarter we remember May
Day, a major success, thanks to
our three seniors, Pat Hale, May
Day chairman, Harriet Stovall,
authoress of the scenario, and
Jo Ann Hall, our gracious May
Queen. That night we gave the
production that had been occupy-
ing all our time since spring va-
cation. We gave our Senior Opera
a different slant by writing our
own plot and using music from
eleven operas with a slight devi-
ation to "Hearts of Stone"; the
result was the magnificent "Der
Rural Mural." Our class definitely
had more fun producing this our
last display of talent than any in
our class history, but Carolyn
Crawford must take the prize for
really living her part. She became
so engrossed in the plot and in
her role of Hilda that she made
absolutely no effort to help the
poor villain who was standing at
the back of the stage saying
desperately, "Carolyn, Carolyn,
please help me; I'm falling off the
ladder." This opera showed also
a revival of the anti-nudism senti-
ment in our class, since Julia and
Genny spent Saturday afternoon
covering the statue in the village
fountain with Ivy.

This quarter was also marked
by Pat Hale's having a story pub-
lished in American Girl, by three
seniors winning Fulbright scholar-

twelve of our class to Phi Beta
Kappa. With reference to the
latter, our class has the unfortu-
nate distinction of having in it
the only girl at Agnes Scott to
ever be twenty minutes late to
her Phi Beta Kappa initiation.
Mostly, our spring quarter has
been filled with thoughts of grad-
uation and the days to follow.
The election of our life-time offi-
cers, talk of Alumnae luncheons

June 4, 1955, today we look
back and think perhaps that these

events, so very close to all of us,
are passing merely into the realms
of history and a part of the past.
But, you see, we of the Class of
'55, whose heads have always been
somewhat up in clouds, will re-
member all these things as a
dream, a wonderful dream that
lasted four short years of our
lives. Soon the dream will divide
into ninety-eight tiny dreams.

It is Christian liberal educa-

Seniors Leave Hallowed Halls
For Weddings, Travel, Camps

By NANCY BURKITT

Well, after a mountain of pop quizzes, term papers, and blue books
graduation day did dawn, bright and clear. With diploma in hand
our Seniors leave our hallowed halls for new things.

June is the month for caps and gowns and for bridal gowns. Hannah
Jackson, Sue Walker, Mary Carol Huffaker, and Evalyn Stegar are
planning to make the most of this tradition. Polly Morgan, Sandra
Dickson, Joan Adair, and Susanna Byrd are making preparations to
walk down the middle aisle later in the month. Joan will move to
New York, and Susanna to Charleston.

Come July and the ASC brides will be Lib Wilson, Marjorie Vann,
and Patty Hamilton. The next month Ann Atkinson, Andy Smith,
Betty Reiney, and Helen Jp Hinchey will be looking for a penny to
put in their shoes. Carolyn Crawford, Peggy Pfeiffer, Jean Levie,
Helen Moutos, and Joan Pruitt will marry in the fall.

Other of the Scotties are planning to pack up for travels. Many,
many are Europe bound. Ruth Posey is venturing south of the border
to Mexico and Grace Olert is journeying through Maine and Canada.
Off for a cruise to Bermuda are Jo Anne McCarthy and Marjie Ford-
ham. Julia Beeman is heading for the open ranges of the west. Cliff
Trussell is planning to take life easy in the Smokies for a few weeks.
Donna McGinty, Trudy Awbrey, Jo Ann Hall, and Jamie McKoy are
following the sun to Panama City.

For a summer of forests and lakes Ann Hanson, GB Christopher,
Molly Pritchard, Jane Gaines, BJ Shaufele, and Sally Legg are to be
counselors in camps from Connecticut to Florida.

To prove they are strictly city girls Catherine Lewis, Jenny
Lucchese, Beverly Jensen and Alice Nunnally have jobs in Atlanta
for the summer.

Up New York way Cacky Eichelbergcr is going to Katherine Gibbs'
and Mary Love .L'Heureux has a fabulous job upstate.

Pat Hale is Virginia bound to start her job with the famous Barter
Theatre group.

There are some people who never get enough school. At least this is
the case with Harriet Hampton who will take education courses at
Queens this summer.

Well, toodle for now. Fifty-fives, hope that the "expected time of
return" on that last pink slip is "soon." The rest of you cuties, I'll
see you come September. A glorious summer to one and all.

Toodle.

Sophomores Win Spirit Cup;
Wells Receives Annual Prize

By HELEN HEXDRY

The seniors and the sophomores vied for the limelight as
A. A. president Harriet Griffin issued the year's athletic
awards in student meeting last Thursday. Credit was- cer-
tainly given where credit was due when the outgoing class
of ? 55 was awarded the year's Athletic Cup for their out-
standing performances in sports

Joy and Judy Nash won for the
intermediates, and Sis Burns and
Carolyn Herman were the Tennis
Ten victors. A plaf-off between
the Tennis Ten and intermediate
champs evolved in Burns and Her-
man again becoming the school's
champion doubles team.

this past season. Already hockey
champs, the staunch "old ladies
of the campus" did it again and
walked off with the Softball
crown.

Not to be outdone by their sis-
ter class, the sophomores captured
the much-prized Spirit Cup. Con-
gratulations are certainly extend-
ed to the winners of this trophy
in high hopes that a little of this
good old class spirit is malignant
to the rest of the campus.

The Sportsmanship award for
this quarter went to Barbara
Huey. This award is presented
each quarter to the player in the
seasonal sport who, according to
the members of the four teams,
has displayed an outstanding
sense of fair-play and sportsman-
ship through out the quarter.

Carolyn Wells was presented
with the prize given annually to
the senior who has acquired the
most athletic points during her
four years at college. Carolyn's
score totaled up to an amazing
2206 points. This would be no
surprise to anyone acquainted
with both the interest and ability
shown by Carolyn in her partici-
pation in almost every sport on
campus and a biology major too!

Three tennis doubles tourna-
ments were played this quarter
instead of the usual one. Caroline
Romberg and Alice Miller paired-
up to top the beginner's section,

Those receiving athletic letters
were: Jane Gaines, Mary Alice
Kemp, Molly Prichard, Barbara
Battle, B. C. Regen, and Hobby
Mills. Stars were awarded to
Julia Beeman and Carolyn Her-
man.

Byrd Hoge, archery manager,
announced the final score of Ag-
nes Scott in the National Tele-
graphic Tournament as 407-1903.
Competing in the tournaments
were: Caro MacDonald, Carolyn
