AGUES SCOTT COlLEliE^ DECATUR

FOREWORD

"I'd rather be a Hottentot

Than a tiiititi, multi-millionaire,

I'd rather be a Hottentot

Than sit in the President's chair;

It's the grandest place that yon ever did sec,

If you don't believe it just come ivith me;

I'd rather be a Hottentot

Than a midti, multi-millionaire."

Vivid though the incidents of college life may seem to us today, time
will make them fade from our memories. It is to prevent such forgetful-
ness that the staff of the 1940 Silhouette has spent its thought, effort,
and time in the publication of a book which endeavors to record perma-
nently the events of this year at Agnes Scott. If, as you turn the pages
of this book long after graduation, you recognize familiar faces, and
humming to yourself the catchy Hottentot song, you feel a nostalgic
pang for the "good ole days" at Agnes Scott, the staff of the Silhouette
will feel that it has achieved its purpose.

aml/m0ie

During the first fifty years of the Hfe of Agnes Scott, a fully accredited
senior college has sprung from the Decatur Female Seminary. The phys-
ical equipment of the institution has kept pace with its educational
progress, so that the staff of the Silhouette of 1940, published in a
year of campaigning and of building, has chosen to interpret its material
through the medium of the buildings on our campus. We can trace the
history of the development of our campus from one small frame struc-
ture to those which are standing now; and we can look ahead with
anticipation to the day when the plans for "Greater Agnes Scott" will
be realized. That day which seems remote will come eventually,
for we are a college never satisfied with the present, ever looking
to the future.

I A [gNES SCOTT COLLEGE, under the name
of the "Decatur Female Seminary" started in
18 89 in "Allen House," a two-story building
which stood on the present site of Main Build-
ing. It was later moved to its present location,
doubled in size, and rechristened "White House."
When, in 1890, "Main" was built, it immediately
became the nucleus of all school activities; it
was dormitory, administrative building, music

"WHITE HOUSE."

hall, chapel, dining hall and student activity
building all in one. The construction of the
$112,250 building was largely due to the in-
terest and generosity of Colonel George Wash-
ington Scott, the founder of the school. Such
were the humble beginnings of our college
that now looks forward to the near future when
it will equal the great eastern schools in physical
equipment.

Ross McCain at his desk.

When we think of Agnes Scott, our thoughts immedi-
ately turn to Dr. McCain, its able president, just as his
first regard is for Agnes Scott. His genuine interest in the
college has shown itself in his constant striving towards its
educational and physical growth. That his intelligent lead-
ership is recognized, not only by those who live every day
on the campus, but also by business men and educators,
can be seen in the number of offices which he holds in
various educational organizations. He is the newly-elected
president of the Association of Georgia Colleges, and a
member of the executive committee of the Southern Uni-
versity of Colleges. He is also a senator of the United
Chapters of Phi Beta Kappa.

Sincerity and simphcity are the characteristics which
cause chapel programs led by Dr. McCain to be remembered
long after graduation. Despite his dignity, he enters whole-
heartedly, like a true sport, into the campus activities; and
every faculty-student hockey game sees him holding
valiantly his position as goalie; and every A. A. Fair finds
him riding the merry-go-round and drinking pink lemon-
ade. He is never too busy to listen sympathetically to
students' requests and problems.

The President

His secretary. Miss Laura Steel, is an Agnes
Scott graduate of '37. She was prominent in
campus activities as editor of the Agonistic,
as the weekly publication was then called, and
as a member of Mortar Board. Her present
position keeps her busily occupied taking care
of Dr. McCain's varied activities and corre-
spondence. She is swamped by letters and com-
petitive examination entries from prospective
students. She fulfills the qualifications of an
ideal secretary, in keeping both her personal
and office articles in good order.

Miss Smith, Miss Torrance, and Mr. Holt,
as the members of the Electives Committee, are
indispensable to the upperclassmen, whose credits
they check and recheck to make sure that each
one has completed a sufficient number of hours
for graduation or class standing.

The Admissions Committee, composed of Miss Alexandeh, Miss Ciiiustie,
and Miss Gaylord, functions as an advisory board to the freshmen in help-
ing them select their courses. The committee keeps the high school records
of all new students and is thus competent in giving them advice on the
curricula suited to their individual needs.

Both these committees are in their I'espective offices every Tuesday after-
noon to help the students adjust those difficulties that do crop up ever so
often.

Mr. Stukes shows his friendly

and M.s

Mk. Stukes, Mr. CuiNNINGHAM and Mr. Tart arc essential members
of the administration, handling the business affairs of the college in
their offices of Registrar, Business Manager, and Treasurer respectively.
Mr. Stukes, as Registrar, has a great influence on the life of every
student from the time of her application for entrance when he helps
consider her recommendations and conduct the intelligence tests that
are given her, until the time of her graduation, when he furnishes m-
formation about the fields of work that are open to her.

Mr. Cunningham has been especially busy this year taking care of
all the campaign money that comes in and managing the plans for the
new building.

Mr. Tart also has an extra burden on his hands since the student
budget is now paid to him along with the tuition fee, instead of being
handled by the student treasurer as it formerly was. He has a brisk,
businesslike, but friendly, manner that invites confidence in his ability
to take care of the financial matters.

THE SILHOUETTE OF

DEi^' OF WOMEI

No MATTER WHAT TIME of day you happen to drop into the
Dean's Office you will find several students passing the time of
day with one of the Deans or finding good advice on those per-
plexing problems that occur in college life. It's no wonder that
It's such a popular place when we see who those capable advisors
are.

Miss Carrie Scandrett, as Dean of Women, contacts the stu-
dents individually more than any other member of the faculty or
admmistration. The smallest difficulty is never too small for
her complete attention, nor is the most perplexing one too in-
volved for her level head. She seems to sense our difficulties even
before we come unhesitatingly to her with them. It is no wonder
that there is always a waiting line outside her door. She seems
to embody the four ideals of Agnes Scott and be the perfect
successor for the former, beloved Dean, Miss Hopkins.

Miss Charlotte Hunter is her assistant, and she is the Guard-
ian Angel of the freshmen. Her friendly, informal manner and
sympathetic understanding have helped to cure many a case of
homesickness. Miss Hunter has joined some of the students in
taking first-year German and anyone who doesn't think she
studies her lessons faithfully ought to see her reading "Emil und
die Detective." She is also taking her horseback riding lessons
very seriously.

Mary MacDonald and Isabella Wilson are the other two
members of the Dean's office faculty. They always have a welcom-
ing smile ready for the people who come in and the students love
introducing their dates and chaperons to them. Although Mary's
day-time job as a secretary in Atlanta keeps her on the go, she
manages to get in on some of the bull sessions with the girls in
Boyd, where she lives. This is Miss Wilson's first year back at
her Alma Mater; she was house president of Main during her
senior year here.

matters even beyond the

Miss Ellen Douglas Ley-
burn spends a great deal of her time this year in her new home, which was
built only recently. Gardening and looking after her dog, Caroline, occupy
many of her leisure moments. Perhaps it was while Miss Leyburn was a
student at Agnes Scott that she began to develop the analytical and syste-
matic mind for which she is so well known.

The freshmen have learned much about writing themes from the de-
partment's new member, Miss Thelma Allbright, who taught formerly
at Queens' Chicora. Her talents also extend to the realm of palmistry; if
you ask her to read your palm she will entertain you with her magic
knowledge and with her wit, which, upon all occasions, has already en-
deared her to the campus. While in college she majored in American Lit-
erature and later received her Master's degree in it at Duke University.

The Spoken English Department is headed by Miss Frances K. Gooch,
who once gave private lessons to Madame Chiang Kai-Shek at Wesleyan.
Miss Gooch was formerly president of the Southern Association of Teach-
ers of Speech and still attends its conventions. Her favorite actor is Basil
Rathbone.

The English Department boasts of giving a larger number of majors than any other
department on the campus. Its members undoubtedly play a large part in making it so
attractive. Mr. George P. Hayes, who heads the department, spends a great deal of his
spare time on the tennis courts. His love of exercise often leads him into the woods on
long walks. Debating claims his attention too; he was very pleased about his trip to
Chattanooga this spring, where he attended the debate convention and tournament. He
is an ardent lover of classical music and is a frequenter of the music room in Main.

Miss Emma May Laney keeps up with Mr. Hayes in playing tennis, and this fall
she tried her hand at golf, joining a beginners' class. Her well-planned lectures and her
habit of being strongly intent on whatever she does, combined with a genuine love for
her subject, make her an inspiring teacher. As advisor to the Lecture Association, she has
been active in bringing many good lecturers to the campus.

Miss Janee Preston's talent for writing poetry is evident from the fact that she has
had several of her poems published in the Atlanta Ar.ijosy, an anthology of works by
Atlanta poets. In them she shows her appreciative love of nature.

Miss Annie May Christie keeps busy doing research work on a Southern writer.
Her sympathy and ability to understand other people's problems make her very popular,
especially among the freshmen.

This year has brought Miss Robirta
Winter back to the campus to assist
Miss Gooch in teaching Spoken Eng-
lish. During her years as a student at
Agnes Scott, she was a member of Phi
Beta Kappa and of Hoasc, the fore-
runner of Mortar Board. She is known
now as the author of Bridal Chorus,
which has won recognition in the the-
itrical world, and of most of the scripts
for the Agnes Scott radio programs
this year. She tells us that she always
played men's roles in the Blackfriars
plays.

The Bible Department helps add religious em-
phasis to the curriculum and also to the outside
activities on the campus, especially through the
work of the Bible Club, which is sponsored by
Mrs. Alma Sydenstricker and Mr. James T.
Gillespie, members of the department. They have
been influential in bringing several good authori-
ties on religious questions to the college as guests
of Bible Club, whose lectures are open to the entire
college community.

Mrs. Sydenstricker, who leads the department, is
recognized as a leader in spiritual activities and
she is frequently asked to speak at various functions
in Atlanta and Decatur. She spends a large part
of her summer vacations at Chautauqua, N. Y.,
where she is Vice-President of the Woman's Club,

and where she studies music and art to the benefit of her classes here. She teaches the Woman's Bible Class in Decatur.
Mrs. Sydenstricker has a scholarly interest in ancient languages and traditions, having gone so far as to do some archae-
ological research in the Holy Land. She taught history before coming to Agnes Scott. She tries to have personal contact
with her students by inviting them to tea at her home near the college, and by interviewing each one individually.

Mr. Gillespie is not only a teacher but also a preacher. He conducts regular services during the summer in North Carolina,
his native state; and, speaking of the Tar Heel State, he has a devoted love for it, especially for its mountains. He keeps
a stock of funny stories about these mountains which he loves to tell while chatting with a bunch of girls from there.
He spent a great deal of time this year seeing that the plans for his new white house on South Candler Street were
carried out correctly. Now that it has been completed he can often be seen taking his black Scottie dog out for an airing.
His class lectures are carefully planned, following closely an organized syllabus.

The Old Testament by Gil

F I I l<] \ It T N

In spite of the fact that Agnes Scott does not offer .1 ni.ijor in any of the fine arts, it boasts of a well-trained faculty
in both music and art, and serves to offer every student that last bit of culture that goes toward making her a well-rounded
personality. Mr. Lewis Johnson, as Voice Professor, is a favorite among Agnes Scott girls, at least partly because of the
delightful programs that he conducts. These include the annual operetta presented by the Glee Club and public concerts
by the Special Chorus. Something else that accounts for his popularity is his own genuine interest in young people and his
love of good times, including dancing. He spends week-ends with his family at his farm, which is complete with horses,
cows and everything that belongs in a barnyard. Miss Evelyn Wall, with all her capability as accompanist and her good
voice, is Mr. Johnson's "Girl Friday."

Mr. Christian W. Dieckmann is an enthusiastic lover of the piano and organ. Besides studying, playing, and teaching
music, he also writes it. He composes the arrangements of the String Ensemble, of which he is the director, and he has
had several of his selections published. Part of his private life is taken up by escorting his young daughter, Adele, to wild
western movies and listening to mystery stories over the radio. Mr. Dieckmann is assisted in instructing piano by Miss Eda
Bartholomew who performs for the public in joint recitals with him.

Miss Lewis, having an artistic soul, rarely fails to
transfer her love for art to those whom she teaches.
She knows theory and history of art, and she is a
master of it in actual painting, sketching, and draw-
ing. She maintains a sort of quiet dignity in the class-
room that results in an effective presentation of her
material. Her part in furthering interest in art on
the campus is no small one; in the spring she exhibits
some of her own work with that of her students in
the museum room of the library. She has also helped
to make Pen and Brush an actual organization. She
loves traveling, and has done quite a good deal of it.

America with her mother this summer.

The classical language department includes Latin and Greek,
the former taught by Miss Narka Nelson and Miss Cath-
erine Torrance, the latter by Miss Kathryn Click. Miss
Torrance likes to read criticisms of Creek literature. Her
outside interests center in flowers, with which she keeps her
office supplied from her garden. Miss Nelson's culinary ability
is famous on the campus. Miss Click seems to miss her terrier,
Kate, whom she failed to bring back to school with her this
year. Her chapel speech during honor week on "Honor in
Academic Work" made a lasting impression on her audience
and caused quite a bit of serious thinking among the students.

Languages figure widely in the courses offered on the campus. Miss
Lucile Alexander, head of the French Department, is also Dean of
the faculty. Being herself an alumna of Agnes Scott, she symbolizes her
Alma Mater in her scholarship, dignity, refinement, and sympathetic
understanding. Miss Margaret Phythian, too, is an Agnes Scott
daughter, who during her years at college showed her flare for languages
by being president of Cerman Club. She returned to the campus last year
after having spent two years in a village home in Crenoble, France.
Miss Helen Carlson is active in the extra-cur-
ricular activities on the campus as one of the
faculty advisors of Christian Association. She is
an honorary member of the local chapter of
Mortar Board, having belonged to a similar organi-
zation at Crinnell College. Miss Louise Hale has
the distinction of being a member of the Faculty
Committee of Lecture Association. The fact that
her advice is frequently sought as authority on
charm is evidence of the great influence which
she exerts both inside and outside the classroom.

Miss Muriel Harn, Professor of German, is one
of the campus favorites. She is an authority on the
literature of all ages and countries. Cooking and
traveling are probably her most indulged-in
hobbies. Her Christmas parties are famous, as is
her collection of all kind of interesting objects
from various countries.

Spanish is taught by Miss Melissa Cilley, who
also teaches at the University of Coimbra during
the summer. The two textbooks that she has
written, one in Portuguese and one in Spanish,

HISTORY

History is another important subject in the curriculum at
Agnes Scott. Mr. Philip Davidson, the head of the depart-
ment, keeps busy outside the classroom, especially now that
he is engaged in writing two books, one on Southern Colonies,
the other on the American Revolution. His activities include
assisting in debate coaching, playing tennis, doing church
work, and escorting his fifteen-year-old daughter to and from
parties. He is very much in favor of free trade.

Miss Florence Smith, besides carrying out her official
duties of teaching History and serving on the Electives Com-
mittee, is active in several local civil government groups. She
is often called upon to make after-dinner speeches at banquets,
and other addresses in Atlanta. Her class lectures are always
well planned and clearly outlined. Her immaculately clean
black Ford is just another manifestation of her orderly habits.

The third member of the History Department is Miss
Elizabeth Jackson, who spends a great deal of her time at-
tending the meetings and helping to regulate the affairs of
the A. A. U. W. She has a wide knowledge of all types of
literature historical and otherwise and her advice is sought
on all types of subjects. In teaching History she places great
emphasis on the cultural side of the civilization studied.

The Economics and Sociology Department
is under the care of Miss Mildred Mell,
who is intensely interested in her subject.
She attends sociology meetings throughout
the South, and has gained recognition as an
.luthority in her field. She is often seen be-
hind the steering wheel of her car, for she
loves to ride and usually does her own
driving. She came to Agnes Scott only two
years ago from her position as Dean of
Women at Shorter College in Rome, Ga.,
but she likes Decatur so well that she has
bought a house here where she invites stu-
dents to visit her.

Chemistry, Physics, and Biology are the most popular subjects of the Science

Department. Mr. Robert B. Holt, head of the Chemistry Department, is known

for his constant good humor. A great deal of his time is taken up by Rotary Club

activities, golf and bridge. Miss Gilchrist, besides representing the spirit of chemistry

in Chi Beta Phi, likes hiking and mountain climbing.

Mr. Schuyler M. Christian, physicist and astronomer, probably owes some of

his wide-spread popularity to his talent for punning. He has been absent during the spring quarter, devoting his time to doing

research work on the history of Southern scientists. Miss Loetta Willis came to Agnes Scott last fall as Lab Assistant but she

has taken over Dr. Christian's work as Instructor of Physics and Astronomy during his absence.

Miss Mary MacDougall is an outstanding person, not only as head of the Biology Department, but also as an author and as

a leader in scientific research. Her office in the Science Building is the meeting place of many celebrities in the scientific world,

for she is known internationally as a protozoologist.
"Bea" Miller and Frances McCalla are the
Assistant Biology Professors. "Bea" has been traveling
about the country this last quarter stimulating inter-
est in the development of greater Agnes Scott.
"Frank" can be seen most frequently peering
through a microscope at the movements of some
protozoa. Her favorite pastime is hiking and she
does plenty of it as a member of the Appalachian
Trail Club.

Miss Cathi KINK Omwakk, Miss Emu.v Duxti.k, and Mn. S. Gui.kky Stuki.s
m,ikc up the faculty of the Psychology Department, which includes philosophy
and education, as well as psychology. Miss Omwaki; is very orderly and syste-
matic and is known on the campus for the clear notes she gives. Her close
friends, for some mysterious reason, call her "Mary Ann." Her favorite topic of
conversation is Mexico since her visit there last summer; in fact, she liked
it so well she is planning to go there again this summer. She has done a great
deal in helping the seniors choose their life work by bringing to the campus this
year several career authorities.

Miss Dexter's remarkable sense of humor makes her class one of those
"never a dull moment" affairs. Her pet interest is the educational system in
Georgia, about which she gets into some heated discussions. Church and reform
work take up a great deal of her time also. She loves to toy with little
mechanical devices, of which she keeps a large collection both in her home and
in the psychology laboratory.

For the love of

Mr. Stukes' popularity is due largely to his lack of formality
both in class and out and to his ability to put himself in his
student's place. He likes general discussions and encourages inde-
pendent thinking and originality of ideas among the students.
He has a hearty and contagious laugh that rings out at the
slightest provocation, but he immediately becomes serious when
the question turns to social problems, in which he shows his
active interest by playing an important part in the improvement
of local social conditions.

THE LIBRIRT

The Library boasts of an efficient and well-trained staff,
under the able direction of Miss Edna Ruth Hanley. She
IS always ready to search for any obscure fact that a student
may need for her term paper, and she finds it with little
difficulty. She is fond of languages, especially of German, and
IS a loyal supporter of German Club in helping the members
sing Christmas carols during the holiday season. She is inter-
ested in architecture too, having helped design the Library,
and written a book about the plans of various libraries in
the United States.

Miss Laura Colvin, as Miss Hanley's assistant, keeps the

office running smoothly. She also works in the Emory Library.

Miss Evelyn Houck helps make the Library the pleasant place that it is for studying. She is friendly, helpful, and popular

among the students. Her constant good humor lends a light mood to the study-producing surroundings. She likes to

reminisce about her college days in Alabama.

Miss Mary Pennel Simonton helps Miss Houck keep up the gay part of the atmosphere. This is her first year as a
member of the faculty, being a 1939 alumna of Agnes Scott. While a student at Agnes Scott she was especially inter-
ested in dramatics and took part in several Blackfriars plays.

Miss Agnes Reagan became a member of the Library staff this year, having completed her Library Course at Emory.
Arkansas is her native state, and she was a member of the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority at the state university.

Our "hats are off" to all of our capable librarians for the good job that they do in keeping the Library a practical,
pleasant work shop.

What about the

chedule?

GiuLs seeking medical udvicc don't hesitate to go
to Dr. Florence L. Swanson, who never fails
to cheer up even the sickest with her sympathy,
sense of humor, and stories of her native Montana
mountains. She is especially interested in Psychia-
try and in social problems. She has an artistic side
too, as is shown in her collection of pictures that
she clips from advertisements, and in the fact
that she makes her own Christmas cards. She
dresses neatly in becoming clothes, and she has
beautiful hands.

Miss Hagy, before she became the nurse in the
infirmary, was a night nurse at the Emory hospital,
and at one time a teacher of obstetrics at Emory.
She is energetic, ambitious, always does her work
well and on time, and is popular with patients.

Miss Ruth Baskin assists Miss Hagy at the in-
firmary. She is a Cum Laude graduate of Girls'
High in Atlanta, where she received outstanding

recognition in Bible; she took her nurse's training course at the Grady Hospital, and is now pursuing her studies here.
The Physical Education Department helps the students fill their gym requirements. The department is headed by Dr.

Swanson, and the Associate Professor is Miss Llewellyn Wilburn, who spent the first part of the year contacting

alumnae throughout the country in an effort to gain support for the enlargement of Agnes Scott. After her graduation

from Agnes Scott she received a Master's degree at Columbia University. Her hearty laugh ringing out through the

gymnasium helps to relieve many a girl from the worries of the classroom.

Mrs. Harriette Haynes Lapp, Assistant Professor, is in charge of the dancing classes, which we see is no small job

when we realize that this includes creating the dances for M ay Day, as well as regular routine work throughout the year.

She is especially interested in the German language and people. It was during one of her trips to Germany that she met

her husband, who is Dr. Adolphe Lapp.

Miss Elisabeth Mitchell, Assistant in Physical Education, has been taking up horseback riding this year with real

enthusiasm. Tennis and basketball are the special activities un der her direction. She is a star member of the faculty basket-
ball team, which engages in the Brown Jug Tournament every year.
Many of the dancing classes are under the

direction of Miss Eugenie Louise Dozier,

who is an Agnes Scott alumna. Probably

her most popular class is the one in which

she teaches social dancing, by showing all of

the latest steps used in ballroom dancing.

HE Honorable Charles Murphey Candler for whom our student activities building
was named was for forty-six years an active member of the Board of Trustees, and
Chairman of the Committee and Grounds. Since he was deeply interested in the cam-
paign of 1929, which resulted in the erection of the Carnegie Library, it is very fitting
that the Murphey Candler Building, formerly used as the library, should be named in
his honor. Where there was once the quiet of study, the gaiety of dancing, the clicking
of typewriters, and the babble of discussions now is heard. While on the spot where
once stood ^)/est Lawn, two tennis courts, and the Infirmary, we now see the new library
with its Gothic windows, slanting red tile roof, and beckoning terrace.

'J.L 1940

SILHOUETTE

The purpose of the 1940 Silhouette is to present a panorama
of the hfe at Agnes Scott during 1939-1940. Work began on
this book last spring when Lutie Moore, bewildered, newly
elected editor, after conferences with Miss Morgan (of Photo
Process) and Mr. Young (of Foote and Davies) decided on the
theme to be carried out in the book. Mr. Ware with his cameras
has become a familiar sight on the campus. Early last fall he
came to take the portraits, and ever since he has been on hand
to record the activities of all the organizations and to preserve
the memory of all the special events that have happened this
year from the A. A. World's Fair to May Day.

Work has been going on behind locked doors in Murphey
Candler Building. There was copy to be written and typed,
snapshots to be assorted, and letters about the "beauties" to be
written between Earl Carroll and Anne Martin. Finally, on

First row: Frances Abbot, Betsy Banks. . . . Second
row: Rebecca Drucker, Mary Ann Faw. . . . Third
row: Lucilc Gaines, Anne Martin. . . . Fourth row:
Elise Nance, Beatrice Shamos. . . . Fifth row:
Gene Slack, Mary Madison Wisdom.

First row: Grace Anderson, An-
nette Franklin, Florrie Guy, Gary
Home. . . . Second row: Helen
Klugh, Val Nielsen, Mary Louise
Palmour, Mary Robertson, Virginia
Webb Stanley.

March 20, the 1940 Silhouette went to press, leaving the staff
in an exhausted but happy state of mind and the Silhouette
room a jumble of glue, pictures, copy, and a clutter of papers.
The staff spent those next two months until the annual "came
out" wondering how it was really going to look when it was
all put together, and biting their tongues to keep from telling
the "secrets of the press."

The Silhouette is very proud of its record as an all-Ameri-
can book for the past two years. This rating is given annually
by the National Scholastic Press Associations to those year-
books which approach the ideal in annual publications. Repre-
senting the Silhouette at the Southeastern Convention, Lutie
went to Charleston last spring, and in the fall she and Nell
Pinner went to Des Moines to the National Convention.

To SEE EVERYBODY flocking to the mail
room every Wednesday afternoon is to
know of the popularity of The Agues Scott
News. The best way to be a well informed
Hottentot is to read the paper every week,
for it contains commentaries on national af-
fairs as well as news of all campus activities.
This year some changes were made in the
management of The Agues Scott News. A
new office was created that of Managing
Editor. This change relieves the editor of
worry over the make-up, so that she can
give all of her attention to the news in the
paper. Heretofore, K. U. B. members were
automatically on the staff of The Agnes
Scott News, but this year they were divided
into separate organizations.

Under the Hutchens regime, the "Aggie"
has featured a calendar of the week on the
front page of every edition. This feature has
proven to be very helpful for students and
faculty, as it lists the most important events
of the coming week. Another addition to
the paper was the weekly fashion picture
which gives the girls an opportunity to keep
up with the latest styles. There is also op-
portunity for the students to voice their
opinions in the column called "Campus
Quotes" and in editorial comment.

The News is proud of its honor rating as
a First Class college newspaper as judged by
the Associated Collegiate Press.

Reading essays, stories, poems; cutting some and making
others longer; fitting copy into a limited number of pages,
deciding whether or not a certain work has universal appeal,
puttering around at the printers this is how Mary spends
the weeks before each issue of The Aurora "comes out."

dramatists, critics, poets, essayists, and short
story writers are represented in its pages. In con-
tributing their work to the publication, girls gain
experience while the rest of the students enjoy
reading their work. The Aurora gives students an
opportunity to see their attempts printed in
black and white. Campus artists also have the
chance to display their works in the magazine.
The cover of The Aurora is designed by a student
who receives a prize for her work as well as the
honor of having her "brain child" used through-
out the year. This year, talented Bee Shamos was
the winner.

The Aurora is published quarterly and because
it endeavors to represent the whole college com-

which causes eager reading of each issue. Besides
student contributions, the faculty and alumnae
have had some of their works published during
the year.

This year, for the first time, the Agnes Scott

Members of the Executive Committee of Student Government began their work
early in the year with a retreat at Harrison Hut on September 16. Henrietta Thompson,
President, led the group in making plans for the year. Members of the organization were
ready to greet new Hottentots and start the job of orientation of freshmen when school
opened on the 19 th of September.

During the first few days of school, the association had charge of orientation of
new students. Vice-President Carolyn Forman supervised the welcoming, direction and
introduction of freshmen and transfers, and arranged the calendar of events. Sponsors
received their instructions from Carolyn as to the program for the first few days. In
order to introduce the freshmen and transfers to the campus leaders, a skit was pre-
sented in chapel early in October. Members of the organization realized the need for
new students to become acquainted with our organizations and their leaders.

From October 24 to 29 was Honor Week when Student Gov-
ernment presented programs in chapel. On Tuesday, four repre-
sentative students spoke on Honor; on Wednesday, Dr. Gardner,
pastor of the First Presbyterian Church in Atlanta, gave an
interesting talk on the assigned topic; an alumnae who practices
law in Atlanta spoke to us on Thursday about honor in the busi-
ness world; Friday, Miss Click spoke and on Saturday Jean
Dennison concluded the talks on Honor.

In November, Student Government sponsored a series of
chapel talks by Mrs. Morgan, well-known authority on social
relations. Her pertinent question, "Are we acting our age?"
and her practical suggestions in group discussions made her
visit a long remembered one. Student Government presented a
very original skit in chapel to acquaint Agnes Scotters with the
evolution of our college rules. This little play made the student
body realize what a long way we have come since lights had to
be put out at nine and teachers were chaperons for every shop-
ping expedition to Atlanta.

During Christmas holidays two delegates were sent to the Na-
tional Student Federation of America Convention at the Uni-
versity of Minnesota. President Henrietta Thompson and Secre-
tary Frances Breg were our representatives, and in chapel on
January H, they reported a wonderful trip.

Throughout the year Student Government takes care of the
radio-victrola in the Murphey Candler Building and buys the
newest swing records for jitterbugs. For those who are domesti-
cally inclined, the organization keeps the sewing machine in Main
in fine working condition and supervises the kitchen in Murphey
Candler Building.

A FEW days before school began last September, members of Christian Association
Cabinet had their annual Fall Retreat to plan the program for the year. After
much consideration the theme "Thy Kingdom Come" was selected to be used as
nucleus of all activities and thought this year.

During the first week of school members were busy helping sponsors by meet-
ing trains bringing new Hottentots, helping with registration and answering ques-
tions. Fluffy skirts waved and voices babbled in the Alumnae Garden when the
freshmen and transfers met the faculty at Christian Association's tea in September.

During the first week in October the theme for the year's work was presented
to student body in chapel talks. Tradition holds Tuesday chapel periods and
Sunday Vesper programs for worship, supervised by a member of cabinet. The
Vesper programs were devoted to the activities of young people the world over
and to what they are doing to bring the ideal of the Kingdom to reality. Morning
Watch was held during the winter in Miss Gooch's studio, but during warm weather
it was conducted in the May Day Dell lovely with sparkling dew. These early
morning meetings mean much to the group seeking inspiration and strength
for each day.

This year, for the first time, The Cbvhfiaii Exchauf^i' was published for
the purpose of exchanging rehgious thought. It was published once a
quarter under the auspices of Christian Association and was used over the
campus as devotional booklet. Another of the organization's many activi-
ties was that of sponsoring social work in Decatur and Atlanta; for the
needy children of Decatur the Social Service Group gave a Christmas
party complete with ice cream, cake, candy and Santa Claus. Then there
is always that group of loyal girls who visits the poorer sections of At-
lanta and helps with services at the Syrian Chapel. Those interested visited
the Shriners' Hospital for Crippled Children, and the Good Samaritan
Clinic Day Nurseries.

Various groups of the organization concentrated on making more vital
their own particular aims; the Sophomore and Freshman Cabinets con-
sidered how they might make their groups more necessary for the spiritual
growth of girls in their respective classes. During December, Christian
Association had its Winter Retreat to discuss and revaluate the work
for the remaining months of the year.

In January, the religious thought questionnaire was compiled and given
to the students by members of Cabinet. Believing that a psychological
change occurs in the student's attitude toward religion during the four
college years, the C. A. sponsored these questionnaires to find out when
and how this change takes place.

Religious Emphasis Week, when an inspiring minister leads the campus
in its thought and makes acquaintance with the girls, is always anticipated
with pleasure. Dr. Roswell C. Long, during a week of services, made his
magnetic personality felt by everyone. His discussions in chapel emphasized
the integrated Christian personality; he conducted animated discussions
with groups and had conferences with individuals.

With the Spring, new officers were elected who, with the advice of this
year's cabinet and with ample foresight, began plans for the next year.

M ORTAR Board, national honor society for senior
college women, selects its members on the basis
of scholarship, leadership, and service. The activities
of the Agnes Scott chapter are far reaching in
number and scope.

Throughout the year Mortar Board sponsored
many social affairs for the college community. In
September, a supper hike was given for the transfers
in order that they might meet other new Hotten-
tots. There were several teas: one was given in
March for the Day Students and their parents, one
in October for Mrs. Richards, national Mortar
Board secretary, and still another in June of 1939,
for the graduating class. After the reunion banquet
of the class of '39, coffee was served in the Murphey
Candler Building to the yet new graduates.

Affording an opportunity for Agnes Scott girls
to meet Tech, Emory, and Atlanta boys, Mortar
Board gave its annual series of parties for the soph-
omores in November and for the freshmen in Jan-
uary. There were games of all kinds, fortune tellers.

In November members of the organi-
zation helped Miss Hanley make book
week a success by serving tea and
cookies to faculty and students who
came to browse around among the
books or to spend a few quiet hours by
the big cheery fireplace in the library.

Feeling that Hally Hottentot needed

Mortar Board published a little eti-
quette booklet called The Campus

dent interest in the splendid series of

Made up of Latin and Greek students, Eta Sigma Phi is a national honorary society formed for the
purpose of furthering interest in the classics. Members enjoy the study of Latin and Greek drama-
tists, and try to make each meeting recreational as well as educational.

At one of the early meetings, Miss Kathryn Click gave an illustrated talk on her recent visit to
Rome. The members turned their attention to the task of helping to reorganize the Emory chapter
of Eta Sigma Phi. A meeting with Emory classical students at which the reorganization was planned
was followed later by a dinner, when new members from Emory were initiated.

The big event of the year was the formal banquet at the Candler Hotel to which alumnae mem-
bers were invited for the first time. Instead of having an after-dinner speaker, a scene from a Plautine
play was presented by the advanced Latin Comedy class, the players being Ruth Ann Byerly, Jane

Moses, and V. J. Watkins. It was a new and diverting experi-
ence for the audience to see a love scene presented in Latin.
To encourage the study of Latin in local high schools, Eta
Sigma Phi annually awards honorary medals to the outstand-
ing student in each high school Virgil class.

The Beta Chapter in Georgia of Phi Beta Kappa was
established at Agnes Scott College on March 23, 1926; it
was the one hundred and second chapter founded and the
ninth to be established in a woman's college. The purpose
of Phi Beta Kappa as set forth in the Constitution of the
United Chapters "To recognize and encourage scholar-
ship, friendship, and cultural interests" is in full accord
with the ideals of Agnes Scott. Qualifications for member-
ship include high scholarship, liberal culture and good
character.

Since the founding of the chapter fifteen years ago, 211
members have been elected. Elections are made twice a
year, in February and in May. Girls elected to Phi Beta
Kappa last February are Evelyn Baty, Ruth Eyles, Eva
Ann Pirkle, and Jane Salters. In addressing initiates and the
college community at the time of election, Douglas Southall
Freeman, noted biographer, spoke on "Modern Trends in
Biography."

Officers of Georgia Beta Chapter are: President, Dr. J. R.

HISTORY FORI]

World War.

Keeping up with the changing conditions of the world is the aim of Current History Forum, the interested and active
club, affiliated with the National Student Federation (known to us at Agnes Scott as N. S. F. A.). At the meetings news-
paper men, professors of history, economics, and political science, and other authorities lead discussions and present perti-
nent facts to the students.

This year of war, declared and undeclared, and of freak treaties, has been rich in opportunity for good speakers for the
club. Dr. Mose Harvey, Professor of History at Emory, talked on the problems in Europe as he saw them during his trip
abroad last summer. Dr. Philip Davidson and Mrs. Roff Sims of our own faculty were also speakers on the European situation.

The hostilities between Russia and Finland motivated
a student-conducted meeting with reports on life in
Finland. Eric Weisenberger, German student at Geor-
gia Tech, talked on the history of Nazism and in a
joint meeting with Pi Alpha Phi, a debate on neu-
trality was held.

Besides holding interesting open meetings, Current
History Forum tries to keep the campus awake to
international events by posting clippings from the
daily newspapers on the Current History Bulletin
Board in the Library.

Perhaps Pi Alpha Phi boasts no silver-tongued
orator or "veritable Demosthenes," but its debaters
coached by Dr. George P. Hayes have downed
teams of national and international repute. At the

tournament of the Southern Association of Teachers of Speech, hold this year in Chattanooga, Margaret Hopkins and
Mary Lightfoot Elcan debated the negative side, "Resolved: That the United States should adopt conscription of capital
in event of war," while Ann Henry and Marjorie Merlin handled the affirmative.

The EngHsh debate which has become an annual event, brought Oxford debaters E. R. G. Heath and Peter Street to a
battle of wits with Margaret Hopkins and Marjorie Merlin on the question, "Resolved: That American Foreign Policy
should be one of complete isolation." To the Strawberry Leaf Festival of Winthrop College, Pi Alpha Phi sent as delegates
Mary Louise Dobbs and Doris Weinkle. Other teams encountered were from G. S. C. W., University of Florida, and
University of Georgia. Practice for debating is obtained at regular meetings when members debate in their own tourna-
ment with faculty members acting as judges.

Agnes Scott may not have a Broadway to offer the theater-minded girl, but it has a
good substitute in Blackfriars, the dramatic club. Working under the expert direction
of Miss Gooch and Miss Winter, members of Blackfriars come to know the ways of the
theater intimately. They learn to appreciate the thrill of acting before a full house, of
slaving for weeks before the big night of the play. They learn the importance of whole-
hearted cooperation and hard work by the entire cast in making a play a success.

The oldest club on campus, Blackfriars was organized in 1915 under the leadership of

Miss Gooch, and since that time it has grown into one of the most active of Hottentot

I he trans orma ron. clubs. Included in this year's series of programs have been one-act plays directed by Laura

Sale, vice-president of the club, a make-up demonstration given by members of the Play

Production Class, a talk by Miss Roberta Winter, new assistant to Miss Gooch and

author of Bridal Chorm, on her experiences in the theater, a demonstration by the Play Production Class of sets to suit

various types of plays, and a talk, by Miss Claire Tree Major, national founder of Blackfriars, on the Children's Theater.

In February, Blackfriars' Board entertained at an Open House
to which various theater groups in Atlanta were invited. The Emory
Players, Emory Radio Guild, Atlanta Theater Guild, as well as
Blackfriars' alumnae and men who have acted in Blackfriars plays,
came to rehash theater experiences.

The Emory Radio Guild, while not directly connected with Black-
friars, is sponsored by members of the club and has had a real part
in "Dramatic" life at Agnes Scott this year. It is to the Radio Guild
and to Miss Winter that we can attribute much of the success of the
Agnes Scott radio programs this year. A rental bureau for costumes
and properties is another phase of work started by Blackfriars' mem-
bers this year.

Agnes Scott's artists are not wiry-haired eccentrics but a group of
perfectly normal people who meet regularly as members of the Pen and
Brush Club. Their interest is art of every age and of every type,
sculpture, oil and charcoal, and meetings are planned which keep mem-
bers informed of artistic development as well as give opportunities for
self-expression.

Sketching is one of the club's favorite pastimes. A model is selected
and sketched by the members, some remarkable results being obtained
(don't ask how they are remarkable). Sometimes sketching groups
gather out of doors and landscape work is done. At one of the bi-
monthly meetings, Claude Herndon, Atlanta artist who spent last
summer in Europe, showed his collection of Italian and Greek pictures.

An excursion to Atlanta's High Museum of Art to see an exhibit of the Silberman Galleries of Budapest and New York,
proved very interesting. The collection of "Five Centuries of Painting," included originals by such well-known painters as
Michele De Matteo, Renoir, Ribot, Jan Cossiers, Hyacinthe Rigaud, and Jules Breton.

Mr. Dieckmann, Director, lifts his bato
to give the signal for quiet.

Like Old King Cole, the Agnes Scott community has gotten into the
habit of calhng for its fiddlers, but ours is the privilege of having more
than "Fiddlers Three." String Ensemble, only unorganized organization on cam-
pus, has seventeen members whose attendance at meetings is entirely voluntary. Mr. C. W.
Dieckmann created the group seven years ago and has directed it ever since in an increasingly active program.

This fall. String Ensemble played over the Agnes Scott Radio program; during Alumnae week-end, at the
special request of returning alumnae, Mr. Dieckmann and members of the Ensemble gave a recital in chapel.
The largest undertaking of the year was playing jointly with the Emory Little Symphony Orchestra the or-
chestration for the Glee Club's light opera, lolanthc. This cooperation with Emory represents another step for-

Workers behind the

udtL LECTURE ASSOCIATION'

In celebration of the Fiftieth Anniversary of the college, Lecture Association this year sponsored a
series of brilliant lectures to which all friends of the college were invited. With the aid of the Student
Budget and the generosity of the Administration it was made possible for all lectures to be free.

Alfred Duff Cooper, former First Lord of the English Admiralty, opened the series with his talk on
Anglo-American relationships. Giving a "lecture-recital," Ernest Hutcheson, Dean of the JuUiard School
of Music, played for a delighted audience three of Beethoven's Sonatas, and gave a brief, informal discus-
sion of each one. In January, Douglas Southal Freeman, author of the Pulitzer
prize-winning biography of Lee, talked on "Modern Trends in Biography."
Robert Frost, one of America's favorite contemporary poets, discussed poetry
in general and read from his own Collected Poems. Harlow Shapley, Director of
the Harvard Observatory, in his illustrated lecture, "Exploring Stars and
Galaxies," opened up new worlds in the sky to an interested audience.

Lecture Association is made up of a faculty-student committee, Miss Emma
May Laney acting as chairman of the faculty committee, and Margaret Hopkins
as head of the student committee. Members not in the picture arc Florrie Guy,

"Parlez-vous Francais?" This question might well be asked all students who wish to join French Club, for
speaking and understanding French is the primary interest of its members. Affiliated with the National Alliance
Francaise, French Club has as its purpose the stimulation of interest in and furthering of the students' knowl-
edge of French language, literature, and life. The theme of the programs for the year has been French culture,
the club members being divided into three study groups. The Art group, headed by Marion Philips, was in charge
of the February program; the Drama group, of which Ruth Kaplan was chairman, presented its program m
March; the April program was conducted by the Music group, headed by Suzanne Kaulback.

An outdoor supper for new members, informal discussions in French, a talk by Nicole Giard, French Ex-
change student from Paris, on "Attitude of Youth in France Toward War," were included on other programs.

An unforgettable part of French
Club's work ^s the annual Christ-
mas caroling when members light
their rustic lanterns and go all
over the campus singing lovely
old French carols.

Vice-President, male plans for the German Club frolic. Marion Willi.
Treasurer, was not present.

In spite of the disfavor in which the Hitler regime is held in America, the German people, their customs and
language, are still respected and appreciated. At Agnes Scott, members of German Club, particularly, are in-
terested in Deutschland, its language and customs. The club membership is drawn primarily from students
who wish to improve their conversational knowledge of the language.

When one thinks of German Club, one invariably remembers the Christmas celebration, for who can forget
Miss Harn's Christmas party or the German carols sung on the cold night before the holidays begin when the
very air is tense with anticipation? Miss Harn's party has become a tradition. There are German cookies and
cakes, innumerable polka-dot angels, a candle-lit tree which almost brushes the ceiling, a manger scene in one
corner of the room, and a Christmas-tree music box which tinkles "Stille Nacht, Heilige Nacht." Going from
dormitory to dormitory the night before the holidays begin to sing German carols is another Yuletide tradition
annually observed.

The cooperation which has existed this year between the German Clubs of Agnes Scott and Emory may bring
about an even closer affiliation in the future. A study of German music, art, and literature has been taken up
at the regular monthly meetings, one of the outside speakers being Dr. Adolphe Lapp, recently of Bavaria. A
German Frolic, given to raise money for the College Campaign, brought faculty and students together for an
evening of real fun.

Spanish Club, ni.ide up of those students who are particularly interested in the Spanish language and in the
countries where it is spoken, stimulates this interest by discussions and informal lectures. The theme of this
year's program has been the study of Spanish speaking countries.

In connection with this study. Miss Omwake and Miss Harn told the club of their experiences and impres-
sions during their trip through Mexico last summer. In the two subsequent meetings the relations between
South American countries and the United States were considered.

Joining with German Club in a Christmas party and
singing Spanish Christmas Carols about the campus were
also in the year's activities. At International Night, Span-
ish Club had an unusually good exhibit, because of the
generosity of Miss Cilley, club advisor, in lending the
many curios and valuable objects which she collected
during the years when she taught at the University of
Madrid and Portugal. In order to further campus interest
in our American neighbors to the South, Spanish Club
sponsored the Pan-American Day celebration on April 14.

What is B. O. Z.? Besides being the pen name of Charles
Dickens, B. O. Z. to any Hottentot means a club com-
posed of embryo authors whose purpose is to encourage
creative writing. Only girls of talent are admitted to
membership in the club, since tryouts are rigidly judged
for style, originality, and sincerity.
At the delightfully informal meetings, members read and criticize their own literary achievements, led in

their discussions by Miss Janef Preston, faculty advisor. Valuable standards of criticism of their own work as

well as that of others is thus developed. No type of prose is banned, essays, sketches, plays, and short stories

being equally popular. From the writings of this group come many of the contributions to Aurora, quarterly

literary magazine.

Wallace Lyons entertained club members at her home for one of the regular meetings. In the Spring, B. O. Z.

sponsored a unique song-writing contest to get some Hottentot ditties set to music. Betty Kyle sang the three

best songs in chapel, awarding prizes to the three composers.

In order to appreciate the worth of B. O. Z., one should visit them at a regular meeting, enjoy the chirm

of fire-light and literary discussion, catch the spirit of sincerity and earnest endeavor for improvement which

characterize the attempts of this group of creative writers.

To BE A newsp.iper woman with a career as exciting as it is in-
teresting is the ambition of many a modern girl. K. U. B., Agnes
Scott's Journalistic Club, helps to start a realization of rhis ambi-
tion. Newspaper work of all kinds is the interest of the club so
that it is quite natural that many of The Agues Scott News
reporters are among its members. Tryouts for membership must
be in the form of news articles, written in good journalistic
form, and they are judged by Miss Christie, faculty advisor, and
the officers of the club for style, material and interest.

In order to get close contact with the large Atlanta and Decatur papers, K. U. B. works with the Journal, the Consti-
tution, and The DcKcilh New Era in handling Agnes Scott publicity in those papers. At several meetings during the year,
local reporters and feature writers were guest speakers. Betty Mathis, who had the exciting experience of handling the
newspaper interviews with the Gone With the Wind stars when they visited Atlanta for the World Premiere of the much
talked of picture, was one of the early speakers. Jean Chalmers, K. U. B. Alumna, '38, discussed her job as a feature writer
on the Constitution, and Rufus Jarman, news reporter and feature writer for the Journal, gave some of the high-lights of his
interesting, ever-changing job.

Not only does K. U. B. keep in touch with local newspapers, but it keeps each girl's home town paper officially in-
formed of all of her honors and extra-curricular activities. The big social event in the journalism world at Agnes Scott is the
annual Spring luncheon given at a downtown hotel for the members of K. U. B.

J. WaUins, Prcs.dent and Pattie PaHerson, Secretary, chuckle
one of the amusins short poems in the AURORA.

Unique in its function is Poetry Club which satisfies the
urge of poetically minded students to do creative writing.
Under the direction of Miss Laney, members of this group
meet primarily to read and criticize their own poetry. Con-
temporary poets, however, are also read and discussed, special
emphasis being placed this year on the modern school. Among
the poets read were Joseph Auslander, Elinor Wylie, Edna St.
Vincent Miliay, and William Carlos Williams.

Prior to Robert Frost's visit as lecturer at Agnes Scott, Miss Laney gave a talk on his life and poetry at a
meeting of the club which was open to everyone. While he was on the campus, members of Poetry Club had
individual conferences with the famous poet and drank in his expert advice with eager enthusiasm. At the
Spring initiation meeting, Minnie Hight Moody, well-known Georgia poet, read from her recently published
book of poems. Miss Laney entertained the group in her apartment at one of the Spring meetings.

Tangible evidence of Agnes Scott's poets can be found in every issue of the Aurora, whei-e one is sure to see
contributions of Poetry Club ranging from a light ditty about college girls' hair to translations of Virgil.

Hottentots feeling the urge "to trip the light fantastic," join Cotillion Club and enjoy the Thursday afternoon tea
dances given twice a month by this congenial group. Dancing in the Murphey Candler Building to the popular tunes of
Glen Miller or Kay Kayser faithfully recorded for the victrola, munching cookies and nuts from the assortment of
delicious refreshments, sipping the proverbial cup of coffee from the traditional silver urns are privileges enjoyed at regu-
lar club meetings. Three or four members are hostesses at each .neeting when they have the good practice of providing
refreshments, decorations, and entertainment for their little parties.

At Thanksgiving, and again on Founder's day, Cotillion Club sponsors the big dances of the year to which the entire
student body is invited. The Founder's Day Ball on February 22nd is one of the most colorful events of the school
year. Costumed as Colonial gentlemen
and ladies, a selected number of seniors
go through the routine of a graceful
minuet in honor of the nation's first
president and of Scott's founder,
George Washington Scott. The danc-
ing which follows, however, to the
music, this year of the Tech Ramblers,
is modern enough jazz, jitterbugging,

"My mother went to Agnes Scott," are the magic
words which make a girl ehgible for membership in
Granddaughters' Club. This year there are over forty
second-generation Hottentots who get together once a
month for informal and purely social meetings.

The Granddaughters enjoyed a wiener roast at Harri-
son Hut, tea-parties in the Alumnae House or Murphey
Candler Building, and meetings at various members'
homes. Mamie Lee Ratliff, Assistant Alumnae Secretary,
serves as sponsor for the group and helps to plan its
activities.

Among the interesting activities of this year were the after-dinner coffee served to home-coming alumnae
after their banquet during Alumnae NS^eek-end in October, visits with the Decatur Alumnae Club, and the
presentation of a play, entitled "Daughters and Granddaughters," which was broadcast over the Agnes Scott
radio program.

The highlight of the year is always the long awaited Spring Banquet, which is held in a downtown hotel,
with the members decked out in crisp new dresses and dates in their ever popular tuxedos.

Oi I i;ring Lin opportunity for intensive Bible study, Bible
Club plays a real part in the spiritual life of the campus.
The theme for the year, which is the same as that of Christian
Association "Thy Kingdom come: within, without" was
the basis for the program series.

Dr. M. McH. Hull, head of the Atlanta Bible Institute, spoke on "Greek Exegesis"; Dr. Alvin Hardie,
former missionary to Brazil, talked of the opportunities for Christian activity in Brazil. Also speaking at club
meetings were Mr. Montgomery, authority on Chinese mission work, and Dr. Gutzke, professor at Columbia
Seminary. A group discussion conducted by various missionary daughters sought to inform the students of
Christian development in foreign countries.

By more closely affiliating itself with the work of Christian Association, by contributing to a fund for
purchasing Bibles, by presenting to the college community a series of varied and interesting programs, Bible
Club this year has made itself felt on the campus as never before.

FORMER GYMNASIUM

, BY 192 J AGNES SCOTT had become a rapidly growing college, coming to take its
"^^^ place among the leading women's colleges of the United States. In order to provide an
adequate building program, the plans for "Greater Agnes Scott" were drawn up by
Boston architects and were later revised by Atlanta architects.

The first building erected according to the new plan was the Bucher Scott Gymnasium,
named in honor of G. B. Scott, for many years an active member of the Board of
Trustees. It was constructed with the view of using it, at least temporarily, as an
auditorium. Since the Music Building with its beautiful chapel will be completed in a
few months of the publication of this book, the members of the class of 1940 will be
the last to receive their diplomas in the Bucher Scott auditorium.

urer Spratlin was busy in the Lost
and Found Room.

Every student at Agnes Scott is a member of Athletic Association. The
aim of the organization is to furnish entertainment for the college com-
munity as well as to further mterest m athletics. The activities for the
year began in September with a cleverly planned and executed fair, com-
plete with miniature trylon and perisphere. The program for the after-
noon opened with an international presentation. There was hula-hula
dancing to represent Hawaii, Chinese singing and American jitterbugging.
If you were lucky enough at penny-tossing or disc-throwing, you might
win a sucker or a piece of gold-tipped gum. The highlight of the fair
was the aquacade, a beautiful carnival sponsored by the swimmmg club
with the "Aquabelles" m their lovely new red bathing suits, and the
"aquanuts" tumbling about in ridiculous, comid dives.

On Thanksgiving morning Athletic Association sponsored a horse show
at Georgiana stables. The young equestriennes vied for honors for their
respective classes, the juniors being the wmners of the gymkhans, and
Margaret Murchison in her good looking black riding habit came away
with the blue ribbons.

From February 19th to 24th Athletic Association took the spotlight in
' A. A. Week." There was a swimming pageant on the first night with
carefully executed dives, formations and strokes. On Thursday night there
were badminton and fencing exhibitions by students of Georgia Tech.

Friday, February 23, student teams found that the faculty suffers very little
from a lack of practice, for they gave the Inman team real competition.
Friday night the health contest brought A. A. week to a close. Each campus
organization had a representative who, dressed in her best evening dress,
walked across the gym and up on the stage where she was judged with the
other entrants by the professors in the athletic department. Gene and Ruth
Slack carried away first and third awards respectively (what's the family
secret?), while Frances Abbot came in second place.

Throughout the year Athletic Association held open house in the gym on
Saturday night, in order to enliven would-be dull campus dates and to in-
troduce students to boys from near-by schools. You could compete at bowl-
ing, darts, horseshoes and ping-pong or if you were not athletically inclined,
there were bridge and bingo to entertain you.

A. A. held its final banquet in May with May Day participants, members
of sports' clubs and class teams as guests. At this time, the yearly trophies
were awarded and the new officers were officially installed in their duties. The
banquet brought to a close a very successful year and ushered in the be-
ginning of another.

Friday the thirteenth, in spite of all supersti-
tion, marked the opening of a hockey season
that was one of the most successful Agnes Scott
has ever had. Unforgettable are the exciting games
which featured not only cooperation among the
members of the teams but also the spectacular
plays of the individuals. Unforgettable also are
those lusty yells and traditional class songs with
which the excited bleachers and side-lines spurred
their teams on to play.

Winning every game except one, a scoreless tie
with the seniors, the sophomore team marched
through to victory and to the 1939 champion-
ship. The (Annie) Wilds, MacGuire, Lott trio
worked together with clock-like precision to pile
up the scores. Not until the last half of their last
game was the opposing team able to score against
them. Second honors went to the seniors, who, led
by Carson and Forman, were stopped only by the
sophomores. The junior and freshman teams
played good defensive games and individuals
showed spectacular grandstand plays. Especially
outstanding in defensive play was the junior goal
keeper, Martha O'Nan, who seemed to repel the
ball as opposite poles of a magnet. Hockey Man-
ager Ida Jane Vaughan, who made the only score
against the sophomores, Scottie Wilds and Pattie
Patterson gave demonstrations of hockey par ex-
cellence, mak ns; many outstanding runs. The
freshmen showed promise of becoming a real threat
next year with such players as Holloran, Mac-
Faydan, Hooper and Rountree to back them up.

The most exciting game of the season was the annual varsity sub-varsity game. Playing to a huge
grandstand, the evenly matched teams demonstrated their skills with the sticks. Spurred on by the en-
thusiastic gallery the sub-varsity took an early lead and held during the first half of the game. After
the half, the varsity came back mto the game pepped up by "huddle talk" and revived with oranges,
ready to get down to business. Then spectators saw how the game should really be played. Carolyn
Forman, m her last game, ran up and down the field piling up the score for the varsity team and

winning the individual laurels of the
game. Fighting a hard, well-played game
up until the last minute, the varsity fi-

The traditional brown jug game brought the season of intra-
mural games to a close with good playing and a lot of fun. The groups
on the campus, day students, dormitories, cottages and faculty, played
against one another in a short tournament. Before the games each team
presented a short skit that added to the informality and fun.

At the end of the season varsity and sub-varsity teams were announced and they
played their annual game against each other on March 1st. As usual this was very ex-
citing with the best players of the school playing against each other. The close score of
29 to 27 tells the story of a thrilling game in which the varsity was finally victorious.

Fast games, skillful playing and enthusiastic

a very successful one. The intra-mural games

were full of excitement. Evenly matched

teams and spectacular plays by individuals

kept the scores close and class spirit running

high. The sophomores and seniors ran a close

race for the championship but the sophs

finally triumphed. Both teams defeated the

junior and freshman sextets and met each

other in a game that was the most exciting

one of the entire season. Aided by Carolyn

Dunn and Mary Olive Thomas, little Dot

Webster (basketball manager and outstanding

player of the season) streaked across the

court like a flash of lightning to send the

ball spinning through the hoop and to run

up the sophomore score. On the other end of

the court Betty Ann Brooks, Anne Geller-

stedt and Mary Dean Lott had the difficult

task of guarding the senior forwards Ruth

Slack, Helen Carson, and Virginia Milner. The junior team gave exhibitions

of fine playing in every game. They fought close battles with the seniors

and sophomores and won over the freshman team. Ann Fisher and Ethelyn

Swimming m Agnes Scott is .i popular year-
round sport. Classes conducted by Miss
Mitchell and Mrs. Lapp start with beginners,
who by clinging to long poles learn to float
and kick; the intermediates perfect their
crawls and back strokes through endless trips
across the pool; and the more advanced
classes practice diving and learn the diffi-
cult, but valuable, art of life saving. There
is a place for everyone down at the pool,
and the cool blue water and clean white
tiles are very inviting. During exams open
plunge periods in the late afternoons find
many girls drowning the care of "cram-
ming," as they frolic in the water.

To the girls who are members of Swimming Club we owe due respect, for the re-
quirements in tryouts are difficult, and only those who excel are admitted. Directed by

Swimming Manager Beryl Healy, the Swim-
ming Club presented two water pageants. In
the Fall the Athletic Association's World's
Fair featured the Aquacade with Virginia
Milner and Beryl Healy as the stars. In Feb-
ruary they presented another program en-
titled "The Myth of Narcissus," with Sarah
Matthews and Julia Moseley starring.

Competition between the class teams was
keen in the two swimming meets, but in
spite of the spirit and efforts of the under-
classmen the seniors were victorious in both
trials.

CLUB

ETHELYN DVAR
President

Ethelyn Dyar, President of Tennis Club, has directed its tourna-
ments, matches and other activities this year.

Sunny skies and warm breezes make tennis a favorite pastime in
the Spring and Fall. The courts are ever in demand by students and
faculty who find that playing a brisk set of tennis is a good way to
shake off the library boredoms, and that it is a "sure cure" for that
old ailment, "Spring fever."
The Tennis Club is composed of the best players in school. Members are elected after vig-
orous tryouts held in the Fall. This year the club played against Tech, Emory, and Colum-
bia Seminary and made a surprisingly good showing against the "stronger" sex. In the annual
tennis tournaments, under Ethelyn Dyar's supervision, Mary Nell Taylor was the winner
after defeating Dot Webster in an exciting finals match.

Members, left to risht: Anne Fisher, Carolyn Forman, Mary Robertson, Helen Klugh, Ellen Stuart, Dot Webster, Alta Webster
Helen Carson, Ruth Slack. . . . Members not in the picture: Ethelyn Dyar, Anna Eagan, Joyce Geist, Mary Olive Thomas'.

Tennis classes, always large groups, are taught by Miss Mitchell ("Mitch," to us) who
makes the self-conscious beginners laugh at their own mistakes, "straighten that elbow,"
and "watch the ball." The patience of the student instructors is unlimited in repeating di-
rections and chasing wild balls. These are classes for those of all abilities: beginners are told
the fundamentals, and sent to the courts and backboards for practice. Intermediates spend
all their time playing and perfecting their strokes. In the advanced classes the girls play
against each other and learn those little touches that make champions of good players.
Tournaments within the classes add interest and encourage good playing.

Ethelyn Dyar, who acted as Tennis Manager this year, started a system of class teams
and appointed as Class Managers, Polly Taylor and Helen Carson, seniors; Helen Klugh,
junior; and Mary Robertson, sophomore.

When you see a group of girls in front of the gym, wearing hiking clothes and carrying various kinds of blankets, pots,
kettles, and spoons, you know that the Outing Club is ready for another excursion. This year the big trip was to Kenne-
saw Mountain. Members always have lots of fun regardless of whether the event is a supper hike to Ice Cream Springs,
a week-end trip or a supper hike at Harrison Hut.

A^

An addition to the Physical Education Department this year was
Mrs. Taylor with her stable of horses and her station wagon. Always
a popular sport, horseback riding was a top favorite this year because
of the interest and enthusiasm of the nesv instructor. On Thanksgiving
Day, for the first time, Agnes Scott had its own horse show. The Junior
Class was the winner in class competition which featured not only
contests in jumping and speed but also trick games and relays. In-
dividual laurels were won by the excellent riding of Margaret Murchi-
son, Anne Eagan, Pattie Patterson, Anita Woolfolk, and Margaret
Smith.

uJ GOLF

Truth is stranger than fiction, and strange as it miy
seem, the golfing careers of Agnes Scott girls begin on the
hockey field. It is there that Miss 'Wilburn and Mr. Sargent,
"pro" from East Lake Country Club, take beginners to learn
the correct grips and to practice their swings on defenseless
dandelion heads. Later on they go to the driving range at the
Venetian Club for more practice on real golf balls; and then,
when they can knock the balls over the creek, they are allowed
the exciting experience of going around the Forest Hills Golf
Course with a patronizing caddy leading the way. As an evi-
dence of the fact that golf is becoming increasingly popular
at Agnes Scott, more and more "advanced golfers" are
participating in the annual college tournament every year.
Students are flocking to the growing classes; and this year the
sport attracted two members of the faculty, Miss Laney and
Miss Preston.

A R Ml E II Y

Excited voices rise and fall as arrows fly and bows quiver
on the hockey field in the Spring and Fall. There, archery
classes meet to try their hands at the sport which, though it
originated in the middle ages as a means of warfare, still holds
its popularity as a twentieth century recreation. Those skilled
Hottentots whose arrows often fly straight to the bull's eye are
members of the Archery Club. Every year Agnes Scott par-
ticipates in the National Telegraphic Archery Contest in
which, for the past two years, our female William Tells have
been winners in the southern district.

Couple by couple the girls practice special steps and

fun while they learn tricky steps of the native dances of other

gay costumes at International Night Banquet, Mardi Gras, and
at other times when a dash of color and atmosphere is needed.

ELOISE LENNARD
May Day Chairman

^tln^ niEPl RATION

May loURTH was .i big day on the Agnes Scott calendar, because that was the day
chosen for the annual May Day celebration. In connection with the semi-centennial
celebration this beautiful pageant in the May Day Dell reviewed the "History of the
Education of Women." May Queen, Carolyn Alley, played the part of Memory, and the
members of the court played the parts of the nine Muses and three Graces. This
pageant, directed by Eloise Lennard, May Day Chairman, was the largest one that Agnes
Scott has ever presented, incorporating the work of faculty and alumnae as well as the
efforts of the students.

committee missing from picture are: Mary Ann Faw, Penn Hammond, Mary Matthews,

Perhaps the campus is aware of the work being done only during the Spring
when the Queen and court are elected and dancing classes practice their
colorful parts; but the Chairman and the members of May Day Com-
mittee start work on plans in the early Fall to make this celebration a grand
climax for the year. A writing committee composed of alumnae drew up
the scenario at the first of the year, and Mr. Dieckmann composed original
scores of music. Special committees designed the costumes, planned the
dances, and gathered together needed properties. Tryouts for leading parts
in the story were held just before Spring holidays. At the beginning of the
Spring quarter work was begun on the actual pageant. Costumes were made,
dances were perfected, and finally on May fourth, in the May Day Dell,
Eloise and the Committee presented the 1940 May Day celebration.

Wearers of the purple A. S. letters are the star athletes at Agnes Scott. The big monogram is the highest
award given by the Athletic Association and physical education department. The award is made on the basis
of points won by participation in athletic contests, by being a member of class and varsity teams, and for
being an officer on Athletic Association Board. Letters are awarded to those girls who have 1600 points
and stars to those with 1200 points. Those who have letters are automatically members of the A. S. Club,
which can boast a membership of six this year.

Virginia Milner, popular president of the Athletic Association, has a letter and a star as evidence of her
ability in sports. She has been a member of class and varsity teams of hockey and basketball and is the school's
outstanding swimmer.

Helen Carson, Vice-President of the Athletic Association, has made her points by participation and good
sportsmanship in hockey, basketball and tennis as well as by being a member of the board.

Polly Taylor is the school's tennis champion and also holds a high rank among city tennis players in Atlanta.
She has won the singles championship every year during her college career and is a member of the winning
doubles team. She has also served as tennis manager and a member of A. A. Board.

Ruth Slack is also a girl of vei-satile skills. She wears her letter due to membership on the board and par-
ticipation in hockey, basketball and tennis, where she has been a valuable player in class and varsity teams.

Henrietta Thompson won her letter her junior year for participation in hockey, basketball, outing club and
archery. She has acted as class manager in hockey. Her ability and good sportsmanship have made her a really
popular and skillful athlete.

The publication of the 1940 Silhouette has been made possible by
vhe cooperation and interest of countless friends both on and off the
campus. We are indebted to students who have permitted the use of their
snapshots, to club groups who have patiently awaited their turn before
the photographer, to the members of the faculty who have graciously
given their time to pose before the camera, and to students who have
accommodated the editors in pictures that needed "atmosphere." To Dr.
McCain's booklet, The Story of Agnes Scott, 1889-19H9, we owe the in-
formation used on the division pages. For the financial support given by
the student budget and by the student organizations, we are deeply
grateful.

Off the campus we owe our thanks to our very generous advertisers.
It is the sympathetic understanding and personal interest of Mr. Marion
Ware of Gaspar-Ware Studios, of Mr. Walter Dargan, Miss Helen Mor-
gan, and Mr. George Way of Photo Process Engraving Company, and of
Mr. Charles W. Young of Foote and Davies Company that have enabled
the staff of the Silhouette to publish the 1940 edition.

Since 1889 slrles on our campus hare changed as rap-
idly as the college itself. Agnes Scott could not have
chosen n more colorful stylistic period for its beginning
than "the Gay Nineties." The girls of Agnes Scott In-
stitute had only a few social privileges. However, when
they did moke an appearance in public, they were true
glamour girls of the '90's, with their checked taffeta
flounces and ruffles, parasols, and plumes.

1910 iusteail of the eUiborale loslumes of the '90's,
tee find the Agnes Scott cuties in a simpler allire. Middy-
blouses and skirts were as prevalent as saddle oxfords
in 1940. The mere possibility of male company brought
about a quick change to frilly shirt ivaists. (Have times
REALLY changed?) And imagine playing hockey in
bloomers drooping to the knees'. This was definitely not
the day of strenuous athletics for young ladies.

And so the '20's the age of flappers, jazz, the "Charles-
ton," et eelera, the period in which the younger gen-
eration tvas regarded as doomed in the eves of their
elders. The length of skirts got shorter, shorter, STILL
shorter. (Confidentially, some were knee-length by the
end of the decade.) Spit curls, wind blotvn bobs, and
the not too flattering long waists were all featured as
"style" in this giddy age.

Good grooming is the most important part of your
dress. Regular attention for your hair and hands will
go far towards helping you maintain your poise and
attractiveness. Contour hair cutting, hair condition-
ing treatments, permanent waving, manicures.

"IN A PINCH"

Cold dust was often used for money in
the famous Gold Rush days. In paying for
a purchase a miner would open his pouch
and the store-keeper would take a pinch
or two.We often use the term, "How much
can you raise in a pinch?" In a pinch, if
you need an extra frock, come to MAN-
GEL'S for a jacket frock at only $6.98.
Whether worn with or without the jacket,
every inch is quality of fabric, excellent
workmanship and the latest colors and
styling.
