We are this generation's first "war class." War struck when we were
freshmen. As we are about to graduate, it is still raging.

While our country has been fighting for its very life, we have had the
privilege of continuing our studies here in comparative peace and plenty.
We have been doing our part in small ways buying war stamps, smashing
tin cans, rolling bandages but if that were our total contribution toward
the war effort, we would feel little justification for being here during these
crucial years.

It is what we feel we can contribute in the future, because we have been
at Agnes Scott, that makes us feel that these four years have been well
spent. The world will need the skills that we have learned here. The world
will need, too, the understanding and tolerance that our studies have
brought. Most of all, the world, in all its chaos and despair, will need the
courage and the faith in the future that stem only from those who know
that the things they are living for are truly worth while. Such a lasting set
of values Agnes Scott has helped us find.

we dedicate this, the 1945 SILHOUETTE, to

Young, and a little bewildered, but eager to
learn to live wisely, students enter college. It
is the faculty who help to guide them, who
point out paths that might otherwise go un-
seen.

At 8:30 students emerge from the various dorms
and the dining room and strike out across the
campus toward Buttriek. Here all morning (and
often part of the afternoon) Hottentots listen in-
tently to lectures, agonize over tests. At the 9:30
bell every girl stumbles down the steps in her haste
to get to the mail-room, trying to out-distance the
person ahead politely, but firmly. A coke in the
book-store downstairs offers another opportunity for
a break in the morning routine.

Endless hours are spent in the library (below).
Part of that time is spent in leisurely study, part
in hectic cramming and last-minute term-paper
writing part, too, in animated conversation in sup-
pressed tones.

Into the beautiful Gothic door of Presser come many notable celebrities. Inside, in
simple, dignified Gaines Chapel, they lecture to expectant audiences. Blackfriars give
their plays there. Twice monthly students come to enjoy a music appreciation hour in
Maclean Auditorium upstairs. And every morning they enter "the chapel" for the singing
of hymns and a few minutes of prayer.

Murphey Candler stands placidly in the sun, waiting for the 4:30 rush to the
Pair-a-dice. Then sophomores entertain Hottentots (at a profit) with sandwiches
and music. At other times during the day students come to enjoy a magazine,
listen to the radio, or use the kitchen to concoct some special delicacy.
Down at the gym (below) other kinds of relaxation are offered. A swim in the
pool, or a set of tennis are favorite ways of getting much-needed exercise.

Inman is the home of the freshmen. Upperclassmen
look back fondly on days spent there. They remem-
ber that if someone sat down to play the piano in
the lobby, there was usually a group quickly gath-
ered to sing. In the spring they could look out
on the beautiful rose arbor in the Alumnae Garden.
In hot summer weather their roof was the popular
gathering place for sun-bathers from all over the
campus.

Sophomores, juniors, and seniors now live in Rebe-
kah Scott (right). It is by thus living side by side
that they came to know each other better. All
inmates of Rebekah will tell you that this is the
best dormitory on campus mainly, they claim, be-
cause living there permits the lazy ones to dash
into the dining room at the last possible minute.

The campus does not always look spring-like at Agnes Scott. Winter comes, and
with it tall bare trees. The thin, curving branches of a tree reach out for the
top of Main. On front campus the bare trees are seen silhouetted against the
sky. They cast their shadows in grotesque patterns on the ground below. Look-
ing up to the tower of Main we see bare branches, silvery in the sun-light.
Winter brings a beauty all its own.

Most frequented place on the campus other than classroom is
the Dean's Office. Connected with it is that phase of the ad-
ministration that is most closely tied up with the actual living
problems of both boarders and day students. Concerned with
coordinating the academic and social life of "Hottentots," its
aim is to inspire every student to be an intelligent and responsi-

The physical education department offers a wide variety of activities:
swimming, tennis, dancing, hockey, basketball, golf, archery, badminton,
skating and riding. A student not only enjoys a swim around the pool
or a set of tennis for its own sake, but because she feels that after such
invigorating exercise she will be better able to tackle her other activ-
ities. The instructors of all the sports are experts in their fields and
arouse enthusiasm in the girls with whom they work.

This business of being Seniors startled us at first. For three years we had thought
of "Senior" as having some special aura surrounding it the unattainable the only
hoped for. Now that we are Seniors, we find no deep mystery at all attached to
the name.

Of course, our dreams of mortar boards, gowns, diplomas are coming true in an
unbelievably quick fashion. Before we know it, we will no longer be students at
Agnes Scott, where we have spent four years crowded with activity. Friends, asso-
ciations, glimpses of the truth have become ours.

This year has been filled mainly with happy days. Traditions, classes, scholarship
have meant a good deal more to us. We are grateful for the opportunity which has
been ours here at Agnes Scott. We pass on to the class of '46 the responsibilities,
honors, and expectations each Senior Class has shared since this college was founded.

September: Imagine! Us big sisters. Introducing our sponsorees to
the faculty, Harrison Hut, little Dec and such, made us feel so im-
portant.

October: Joy, joy. "Our" freshmen won the stunt and belled the
cat. Were we proud! Afterwards we had a victory party in Inman.

November: We spent hours thinking up things for the people to do
at the parties we helped Mortar Board give for the frosh.

December: Athletic us! Diary, the hockey championship was ours and
to boot, every team member made either varsity or sub-varsity. Exams,
and then home for the holidays.

January: Diary, you should have seen us trying to play the role of
dignified hostesses at the tea we had for the freshmen. It was fun,
though, and we all learned lots of new people by name.

February: "Way down upon the Suwanee"

What a summer! But it's good to get back to the old grind. Have you
met the freshmen? And so began our lives as sophomores and some

the kitty changed hands. Fall brought hockey sticks, black eyes, skinned
knees, and hard won victories. Several "top" Sophs made the varsity.

The freshmen stop a minute during a stunt rehearsal.

In attempting to record the history of the class of 1948, an
aspiring author would be able to sum up the first week of
activity the poor bewildered freshmen endured with one word.
Lines! Lines for registration, lines for classification, lines for
schedules, and lines for meals. It was quite a relief when
classes began.

On September 22, the class of '48 got its first taste of
college work and what a taste! Many were the times we had
been warned of the huge chasm existing between college and
high school curriculums, but it was up to Agnes Scott to
prove to the poor stunned freshmen that there was more to
college than play.

The class of '48, however, is made of stern caliber, and it
struggled slowly back to its feet.

The class really began to settle down when Dabney Adams
was elected Freshman Stunt Chairman. Under her leadership,
and encouraged by their sister class, the freshmen buckled
down with a determination to win the Black Cat. On October
14, the class came through with flying colors and the Black
Cat was placed in Inman lobby.

THE 1945

Difficult as it is to capture the life and spirit of a place,
that is what this year's SILHOUETTE has tried to do. The
staff has tried to picture life on the campus simply and
honestly, because simplicity and honesty are characteristic
of Agnes Scott.

The shortages and inconveniences of the war challenged
the staff to make use of all the resources available. After
much planning and hard work, disappointment and elation,
the staff is happy to present the 1945 SILHOUETTE.

Digging out "scoops" on May Day,
Senior Opera, or spring holidays; working
late on Monday nights; spending long aft-
ernoons at the printers; and getting the
necessary ads kept the Agnes News staff
quite busy.

Development was the theme of the
newspaper this year. First, the News tried
to give a complete account of campus life.
Every news item was covered not only with
an eye toward giving the "news of the
day," but also with the idea of leaving a
complete record of the year's progress.

Second, the News endeavored to be
the mirror of public opinion. Individual
criticism and contributions were welcomed.
Letters to the editor were not thrown in
the waste-basket, but were printed with the
hope of bettering the college community.

Third, the staff tried to develop in the
journalistic field. By accepting new styles
of headlines, make-up, and advertising the
staff tried to vary the paper each week.
Extra editions were put out occasionally.
The Christmas extra was in red and green,
and the exam extra was on blue paper and
was called the "Agnes Scott Blews." Origi-
nality was always in evidence; no one will
forget "The Boyd's Eye View," or the fea-
ture on Tabby, or those amazing cross-word
puzzles.

In January the first semester's papers
were mailed to the Associated Collegiate
Press for judging and rating for the year.
It will take several months for the rating to
be announced. No matter what the rating,
though, the staff feels that it has had a
very successful year. Both the editorial
staff with its "nose for news'' and the busi-
ness staff with its "nose to the grind" made
this success possible.

Liz and Mary Necly work along with Dootsie a
Jane Anne to keep the business affairs of the Nc
thly.

AURORA, Agnes Scott's oldest publication, is chiefly
concerned with stimulating literary activity on the campus.
It works together with the three writing groups on campus,
B. O. Z., Folio, and Poetry Club, in securing its materials
for publication. With the fusion of such a cross-section
of students, the campus its thoughts and feelings, its
interests and problems, its frivolity and high seriousness
finds expression.

This year AURORA made the effort to get contributors
from a wider group, believing that self-expression by

means of writing is something that should come naturally
to a greater number of people.

Campus criticism proved helpful to writers new to the
field, and new writers stimulated others to contribute. In
this way all types of creative writing were represented.
In spite of all difficulties paper shortage, printing ad-
versities, not to mention making "the deadline" a
capable staff brought out fall, winter and spring editions
of the AURORA.

The ambition of members of Folio, Freshman writing

club, was to have their work published in the AURORA.

On our campus Student Government Association is an
integrates organization for the entire college community.
Through its work students learn to appreciate the ideals
of useful and honorable living finding such ideals the
basis for fuller and more harmonious living together.

Fall found the year's plans taking form at the retreat
meeting of the Executive Committee. Small committees
were appointed to handle the various activities, and the
next week the new year was "officially" begun with Orien-
tation Week. At this time the new Hottentots were

classes. Student Government members handled bargains
in the Second Hand Book Store, kept the mimeograph
and sewing machines humming, took inventory of Murphey
Candler building, and conducted a chapel session on par-
liamentary procedure. After Christmas there was the in-
evitable wee-hour fire drill, and, later on, the Activities
Tea, presenting the campus activities to the freshmen.

A highlight of the year was Student Government Week,
when skits and talks in a series of chapel programs pre-
sented the work and theme of the organization to the stu-
dents. Mrs. Marc Weersing, an alumna, was guest

speaker for one phase of the year's theme, "Respect,
Share, Participate Live in a Happy Community." With
this idea as a basis for working and thinking, members
sought a higher degree of cooperation and a deeper
undeistanding of the real meaning of Student Govern-
ment in relation to campus life, to individual ideals, and
to college education as a whole.

Behind all of its activities students were conscious of
the spirit of Student Government on the Agnes Scott
campus, and in entering into this spirit they found pleas-
ure in respecting, sharing, and participating.

With the theme, "Jesus Christ the Same Yesterday, Today, and For-
ever," Christian Association started an eventful year. Calendars, with
an added summary of the events of Christian Association Week, greeted
the old students. At the various train stations members of the Asso-
ciation, with the customary purple and white ribbons well in view,
greeted the new Hottentots. Dr. Michael Coleman started the year
of speakers with his Inspiring talk on England. During Christian Asso-
ciation Week Miss Cobbs spoke on the theme; social service work and
the budget were discussed in other chapel programs. Special activi-
ties for the freshmen included a welcoming picnic, a "sing" of tradi-
tional Agnes Scott hymns, and Freshman Cabinet their own part of
Christian Association. Sophomore Cabinet's programs were of campus-
wide interest, as they discussed various religious beliefs.

Social service activities were carried on in the Chinese Mission,
Negro Mission, Syrian Mission, Scottish Rite Hospital, Boys' Club,
Industrial Girls' Club and at a Christmas party for the poor chil-
dren of Decatur.

Discussion groups were inaugurated on certain Sunday nights.
With the subject of the "Good Life" as the unifying theme, the
thought of the Greets, Budda, the Jews and Christianity were
discussed.

Religious Emphasis Week, February 13-17, had as its speaker
Dr. John A. Redhead, of Charlotte, N. C. Well-liked on the
campus for his understanding and powerful addresses, he spoke
on THE USE OF RELIGION, MAKING GOD REAL, GOD AND
HISTORY, FAIREST LORD JESUS, and WHAT CHRIST
THOUGHT OF GOD. Weekly activities included Tuesday
chapels, Sunday night vespers, Morning Watch and the meetings

Leadership, service, and scholarship these are the
qualifications for membership in Mortar Board, national
honorary society.

This year's Mortar Board chapter, tapped early last
April, began its activities by assisting with High School
Day. Projects in Mortar Board's service program -for
this year included sponsoring a vocational guidance
shelf in the library; entertaining transfers at a weiner
roast; helping with skating parties for the freshman and
sophomores; acting as hostesses for the lecturers
brought to the campus by the English department;
sponsoring a "Charm Week," which featured social
usage tests and a demonstration on make-up; present-
ing a series of marriage classes for seniors and engaged
girls. Mortar Board entertained at a tea in the library
during Boole Week in November, and in February par-
ents of day-students were invited to meet the faculty
at another tea.

At its recognition service in November, the Agnes
Scott chapter had as guests the members of Mortar
Board at the University of Georgia. The speaker for
this service was Dr. McCain, who reviewed the history
of Mortar Board at Agnes Scott and told of the attain-
ments of this organization in contributing to the life of
the college and in upholding its ideals.

FRANCES BROUGHER Chairman

"Hurry up or we'll miss the Lawson bus" or "Gee,
this Staff Assistant's course is fun" are only samples
of the campus comments on some activities sponsored
by War Council this year. Regular Sunday afternoon
trips to Lawscn Hospital and occasional visits on Mon-
day or Thursday nights were very much appreciated by
the convalescent soldiers. The Red Cross Staff As-
sistants' course, held during February, was a real suc-
cess with sixty-four girls qualifying as Staff Assistants.

The campus was "kept up" on war news by Mrs.
Sim's discussions on current events and by talks by
other faculty members and outside speakers.

Knitting, "smashing" cans, and giving blood were
among the other activities encouraged. Perhaps the
biggest challenge of the council to the campus was
the Agnes Scott War Service Fund. In the fall the
students piedged their contribution for the year, the
total amount going over $2,700. This was divided
proportionately among all the agencies which would
otherwise have held separate drives on the campus.

Frances Brougher, Student Chairman, with the coop-
eration of the Council and the whole campus, made
War Council's year a very successful one.

LECTURE ASSOCIATION

Lecture Association's season was truly "star-stud-
ded." The season opened with Will Durant's lecture
on The Lessons of History, which reached a large and
appreciative audience. Dr. Durant is the author ot
books on philosophy and social problems, among the
most famous of which is his Story of Philosophy.

In January came Robert Frost, well-loved American
poet, farmer, and teacher. Mr. F-rost read informally
from his own poems, and during his three-day stay won

the hearts of the entire campus with his affability and
kindly humor.

The last lecture of the year was in April, when Maur-
ice Hindus, an eminent authority on Russia and author
of Mother Russia, spoke. He had just returned from
Europe, and thus brought with him a first-hand account
of conditions there. He held a large audience spell-
bound by his vibrant personality and the enthusiasm
with which he spoke of Russia.

In the short time h
was here Mr. Frost er
deared himself to th
whole campus.

ideals the fostering of high scholarship.
Agnes Scott was the 102nd institution to
receive a charter and the 9th college for
women.

ETA SIGMA PHI

Miss Cobbs and Miss Glick, faculty advisors, help Marion Leathers, Presi-
dent, decide which of the great philosophers they will discuss at the next
meeting.

The Golden Age of Greece and the glory that was Rome
discover deep appreciation in the spirit of Eta Sigma Phi,
national honorary classical society. The Alpha Delta Chapter
at Agnes Scott finds time among the studies of modern
phases of culture to pay homage to the ancients. The mem-
bers meet regularly to discuss the great philosophers, histo-
rians, and authors whose influence has shaped intellectual and
artistic existence to the present day.

Although the Agnes Scott Chapter is small, its efforts are
strong in spreading interest in classics among large groups.
Each year the members award medals to students of various
high schools who have shown proficiency in the study of
Latin.

One of the most helpful projects which this club has
carried on is the furthering of knowledge of the classics
among the members themselves. Before the regularly sched-
uled meetings, members read certain selections from classical
literature, which they discuss and criticize when they meet.

The aims of such a society are consistent with the ideals
of liberal arts colleges. Therefore, it is fitting that this group
should be recognized as one of the most worthwhile of clubs
on the campus.

The Alpha Sigma Chapter of Chi Beta Phi was established
at Agnes Scott twelve years ago, and was this national hon-
orary scientific society's first chapter for women. The members
are elected twice a year by unanimous vote on the basis of
active interest and scholastic achievement in one of the
sciences astronomy, biology, chemistry, mathematics, physics,
or psychology.

Chi Beta Phi had several outstanding scientists to speak
at its meetings this year. Dr. Lester, of the Geology De-
partment of Emory University, presented a very interesting
talk about a volcano he had visited In Mexico. Miss Mac-
Dougall gave a lecture on "Malaria," the disease on which
she has been doing extensive research work. Those present
at the lecture were the first to see the malarial slides which
she had prepared for the government. Dr. Schuyler Christian
spoke about the experiments on heredity that he has been
conducting with rabbits.

A formal Initiation banquet was given at the Alumnae
House in the fall for the purpose of honoring the new mem-
bers.

At the end of each year Chi Beta Phi awards a key to the
most outstanding member on the basis of scholarship, leader-
ship, service to the chapter and general promise.

Blackfriars offers to its members all the fascinating
opportunities of the world of drama. Prospective
Bernhardts may try their hands at comedy, tragedy,
or even "mellerdrammer." This year the members pro-
duced a musical farce, creating and arranging their
own dances. Serious drama occupied the attention of
the girls who presented selected scenes from Shakes-
peare. "Will o' the Wisp" was a chance at pure
fantasy.

Acting, however, is only one part of the business of
producing a play. Miss Winter is an understanding
and competent director of the actual histrionics; it is
she who guides the complicated backstage machinery
of production. Costume sketches are made to en-
lighten those on the costume committee. Scenery is
conceived, created and set up by the girls. Authentic
props are located, ranging anywhere from French tele-
phones to period furniture. Makeup experts transform
youthful freshness into tottering old age, smooth so-
phistication, or even horrible deformity!

This year Blackfriars has cooperated with War Coun-
cil in providing entertainment for the wounded soldiers
at Lawson General Hospital.

No operetta this year? What will Glee Club do? De-
spite war conditions which made the traditional Gilbert and
Sullivan presentation impossible, Glee Club, Special Chorus,
and the choir have had a full and successful year.

Glee Club was introduced to the freshmen the first week
of school when a short program was presented in chapel.
Soon strains of familiar carols were echoing through Presser
as the choir prepared for its annual Christmas program.
The white dresses of the choir, the white and silver decora-
tions, and the colors of the several different uniforms worn
by the Georgia Tech boys, added a note of festivity to the
occasion. The program was under the combined direction of
Mr. Johnson, Mr. Lowrance, and Mr. Herbert. Also, in cele-
bration of Christmas, a pageant, "The Child of Peace," was
given in collaboration with the speech department.

The New Year meant intensified work in preparation for the
spring concert; there were many discordant notes until "In
The Silence of The Night" and other favorites were finally
mastered for the big event.

The Special Chorus, under the direction of Mr. Johnson,
sang throughout the year at army camps and hospitals as
well as at various civic clubs. Light opera numbers and
popular songs were frequently sung by the group. Among
its favorites were "Italian Street Song" and "Sylvia."

ART STUDENTS LEAGUE

The Art Students League, whose membership is
made up of art students and other persons inter-
sted in art, has as one of its special purposes the
stimulation of a deeper interest in art on the cam-
pus. One way in which this plan has been pro-
moted Lh is year has been through the presentation
of outstanding exhibits, such as The Georgia Artist
Show, and the individual exhibits of Emil Holzhouer
and Claude Howell. This year the League has en-
joyed the frequent visits of Mr. Lamar Dodd, head
of the Art Department of the University of Georgia,
who has worked with the League members particu-
larly on figure drawing and still life. A very worth-
while undertaking of the club has been the redec-
orating of Harrison Hut. The climax of the year
is the Annual Student Exhibit. Mr. Thomas, head
of the Art Department, is the advisor for the
League's activities. Through his guidance the art
program has become a vital part of the campus
curriculum.

STRING ENSEMBLE

"The String Ensemble is the only unorganized organization on
the campus," says Mr. C. W. Dieckmann, their capable leader. The
group has been a part of Agnes Scott for the past ten years, since
Mr. Dieckmann first gathered together the musically interested and
talented members of the student body and faculty, and friends of
the community.

Until a few years ago, the group lived up to its name and was
composed only of stringed instrument players. But Mr. Dieckmann's
ability to write new and interesting parts has made the group
flexible enough to include woodwinds also.

There are no officers and no dues. The ensemble meets approxi-
mately once a week and gives from one to three concerts during
the year. Such composers as Bach, Strauss, Cui, Debussy, Saint-
Saens, and Handel are among the favorite masters whose composi-
tions give the players pleasure at each rehearsal. They get together
because they "just like to play," which is the best reason, after all.

Debating has become more and more popular at Agnes Scott
since 1922, when Pi Alpha Phi was founded. The aim of this
organization is to foster interest in the age-old art of argu-
mentation. The club believes that in debating one learns to
think clearly, and to analyze intelligently matters of current
interest. The debates held at each meeting constitute a tourna-
lub. The subjects are usually chosen for their
e for example, the topic, "Should one
tary service be continued after the war?'

Mr. George P. Hayes, club sponsor and
debate coach for the intercollegiate team,
stimulates the debaters with his keen com-
ments on their analyses. The intercollegiate
team took part in the tournament between
Georgia colleges at Emory this winter, and
in the Grand Eastern Tournament, in which
colleges from all over the Southeast were
represented. Agnes Scott debaters also par-
ticipated in separate debates with teams
from the Georgia Junior College, the Uni-
versity of Georgia, and the University of
North Carolina.

Could it be Pi Alpha Phi's successful year that
makes Mary Ann Courtenay, Treasurer; Betty
Glenn, President, and Alice Gordon, Secretary,
look so happy?

I. R. C. has had a real challenge from the times. Its purpose
this year has been to discover the truth about international
events, to study that truth, understanding it thoroughly, and to
interpret any conclusions arrived at with regard to future world

The program has been interesting and varied. In connection
with the club's belief that citizenship at home is necessary before
world citizenship is possible, I. R. C.'s first speaker, Dr. Walter
B. Posey, spoke on "Citizenship and Voting." This talk was a
very timely one, as the national election followed shortly after-
wards. In a joint meeting with Emory's I. R. C. the club dis-
cussed the results of the national election. At another meeting,
Mrs. R. L. Paty, wife of Dr. Paty, formerly a medical missionary
in China, gave the club inside facts about the political, social,
and economic situation in China. The club later was one of the
sponsors for two excellent films on China. One film was on
Chinese War Relief needs, and the other about the college life
of Chinese girls during the present war.

El Circulo Espanol was organized for the purpose of
creating and furthering interest in the traditions, language,
and customs of Spain and Latin America.

Each month the club meets to chat in Spanish about
school and various events of special significance to Span-
ish students. One program of particular interest was held
at the home of Miss Muriel Harn. Miss Ham and Mrs.
Florence Dunstan told about their exciting six weeks visit
in Mexico last summer.

Another highlight of the year was a Christmas party
given before the holidays. Miss Melissa Cilley, who has
lived in Spain, presented a vivid description of the Christ-
mas celebration there. Afterwards the members enjoyed
singing Spanish Christmas carols and looking at a minia-
ture display of the nativity scene.

At a later meeting Mr. Howard Thomas lectured on
important Spanish paintings from the time of the Coleman
to the present period.

French Club has made to Agnes Scott
this year is its puppet show. Club mem-
bers designed and made clothes for their
dolls and also planned and constructed
scenery. A clever skit (using the pup-
pets) was then presented at "Jazzmine
Manor." The French Club puppet show
furnished practice for members in speak-
ing conversational French and entertain-
ment for spectators.

B. O. Z CLUB

One of the oldest clubs on the campus is B. O. Z. It
was organized 'way back when today's teachers were stu-
dents. The founders wanted to keep the name B. O. Z. a
secret, but soon it was revealed that the letters were the
pen name of Charles Dickens. The club is for those girls
who like to put their ideas on paper whether those thoughts
take the form of a play, short story, essay, or just a sketch.

This year the club has met every two weeks at the home
of Miss Janef Preston, faculty advisor. Members read their
literary efforts, and their work is discussed by the entire
group. Inspiration as well as helpful criticism is gained by
these discussions.

POETRY CLUB

The purpose of Poetry Club is to encourage the writing
of creative poetry and to provide an opportunity for all who
are interested to share their ideas with one another. The
meetings are held monthly, at which time members read and
discuss their own poems. Miss Emma May Laney, as faculty
advisor for the group, shares her knowledge and offers expert
criticism. Thus the would-be poets have the opportunity to
share their ideas and to have them evaluated.

This year the creative ability of the members was further
stimulated by the visit of Robert Frost on campus. The
members especially enjoyed the tea given for Mr. Frost,
planned in collaboration with the other writing clubs. Here
the girls were able to meet and talk informally with the
famous poet. Poetry Club also had a part in planning and

participating in a skit

The Bible Club was founded in the fall of 1924 to
further the interest of students in Bible study and
other religious activities. The theme chosen for the
year 1944-45 was: "Study to show thyself approved
unto God."

During the fall quarter the programs, presented
by the students, were given over to study of little
known but interesting personalities in or connected
with Bible history.

During winter and spring quarters army and navy
chaplains came to talk to the members, giving
them a better understanding of religion on the war
fronts and what can be expected in the way of re-
ligious attitudes of the returning veterans after the
war. These programs proved of vital interest to the
entire campus community.

A new project, aimed at grasping Christian op-
portunities near-at-hand, was that of writing cheer-
ful daily notes to those students in the infirmary.

Only Bible majors and minors are eligible for
offices, but any student who is interested in Bibli-
cal study may be a member. The Bible Club fre-
quently enjoys having Mr. Gillespie and Mr. Garber
come to its meetings.

"Like mother, like daughter," as the saying goes. Mem-
bets of Granddaughters Club are the girls whose mothers
came to Agnes Scott. The organization is of a social nature,
and meets twice a month in the living room of the Alumnae
House. This year the club assisted on Alumnae Day by
entertaining the small children of the visiting Alumnae. The
club helped the Seniors with their Founders' Day Program on
February 22, took part in "Jazzmine Manor," and held a
large banquet in the spring. Miss Eugenia Symms, former
Agnes Scott student and now Alumnae Secretary for Agnes
Scott, is the advisor It is a significant fact that so many
of the Agnes Scott alumnae want to send their daughters
to their alma mater. The large number of members in
Granddaughters is a tribute to the ideals and standards of
Agnes Scott. The Agnes Scott tradition is carried on in some
families to such a degree that even some great-grand-
daughters of this school are now enrolled.

ASSOCIATION

During winter quarter anyone with paint in her
hair was almost certain to be a member of Athletic
Board. The reason: a new coat of paint in the A. A.
Board room. From tennis tournaments to square
dances, this year's board has presented a varied pro-
gram of activities for the student body.

The Athletic Board, made up of four executive
officers and the managers of the various sports, held
a retreat at the beginning of each quarter to plan
new activities. One of the highlights of this year's
program was the "sing" every Wednesday night in
Rebekah. This was a time for everyone to get to-
gether and relax. On Halloween night everyone was
invited to come and sit around a big bon fire behind
the gym and eat apples. In February a benefit bridge
party was given to help pay for outside referees for
the basketball games. Later, in February, a square
dance was held in the gym. Boys from Tech and
Emory were invited to come and join in the fun
provided by "swing your partner," the wheelbarrow
race, and apple "juice."

The annual Athletic banquet was held in the
spring, bringing another successful athletic year to
a close. Trophies for the year were awarded, and
the new officers installed.

Crisp fall weather brought with it renewed enthusiasm
and excitement over another season of hockey. Bright
red apples, cheering spectators, and determined players
made the season complete.

The opening games were full of spirit as sister class
teams clashed in true form. The seniors were victorious
over the sophomores; the juniors trampied the freshmen.

As the season progressed, the teams, enthusiastically sup-
ported by all four classes, advanced rapidly in skill. The
senior class, led by Mary Munroe and Mary Cumming,
were stiff competitors for the other class teams, and
managed to win all but two games. By the end of the
season the freshmen and sophs had become a dangerous
threat to the upper classes. But it was the undefeated

champs and was awarded the silver cup.

Some exciting news was announced between the halves
of the game on Nov. 17. Mary Cumming, the senior cap-
tain, awarded the traditional sophomore hockey stick to
Alice Newman for her "best-all-around" playing. On this
same afternoon the hockey manager read the names of
the players on the Varsity and Sub-Varsity teams.

Hockey season closed with the Faculty-Varsity game.
The field was a blaze of red plaid shirts, as the faculty
went "sporty." A surprise skit was enacted in which Dr.
Burns rushed across the field to save the life of Miss
Hunter, who was "seriously" injured during the game.
After this exciting and hilarious game refreshments were
served in the gym for all the hockey players and managers.

BASKETBALL-

The 1945 basketball season started the afternoon of
January 12 with the class basketball managers, Sis
Davis, Freshman; Janet Licldell, Sophomore; Ruth
Ryner, Junior, and Susan Kirtley, Senior, drawing to
see which classes would meet first. The Sophomores
and Juniors drew the Hershey bars, the Freshmen and
Seniors the Life Savers. With teams so lined up the
season was under way.

Miss Dorothy Fugitt and Miss Frances Bennett served
as referees during the season. This was the first year
that outside referees officiated at every game. Funds
from a bridge party, sponsored by Athletic Associa-
tion, made this possible.

Besides the entertainment supplied by the four fight-
ing teams, side attractions added spice to many of the
games. A contest was held to see which girl was the
champion free-thrower. And much to the surprise of
all, a guard, Jean Smoot, won.

WHEN WINTER COMES

The attendance at the games was good and the class
spirit was high, but just to see if it were possible to
fill the gym to overflowing, the classes battled it out
to see who could have the most people present at
one of the night games. Everyone who came was
asked to sign her name for her class. The Sophomores
tried hard to win even Mr. Jones, the night watch-
man, put his John Henry down for them but the
Juniors came out on top.

The climax of the season came the night that the
Varsity and Sub-Varsity was announced. Alice Beards-
ley, dressed up like a genie, spread her magic over
the crowd and pulled out the lucky girls.

As the season came to a close it was discovered
that three teams had tied for the title. The Seniors
fooled the Juniors and Sophomores by pulling out in
front in the last two games, becoming, even to their
own surprise, the heroines of the season. This left the
Freshmen in second place, with a fair warning for all
teams to be on their guard next year.

SWIMMING

Throughout the year, the swimming pool is the meet-
ing place of students seeking relaxation from the
"grind" of work and study. "See you at plunge
period," is often heard at the parting of friends as
they separate for classes or labs.

In addition to the plunge periods, open to all
every afternoon, the Physical Education Department
offers classes in beginning, intermediate, and ad-
vanced swimming. Miss Barbara Ames, with student
assistants, has directed the swimming program this
year.

YEAR ROUND SPORT

Swimming Club activities began in the fall quarter
with try-outs for membership. The form, speed, en-
durance, and life saving ability of each applicant
was tested. Betty Andrews, "Cooky" Miller, Janet
Liddell, Lilaine Harris, Jenny Wren, Dale Bennett,
Sweetie Calley, Marie Beason, and Ann Sproesser
were added to the club as a result of the try-outs.

Also during the fall quarter, swimming meets were
held. The events of the meets included form swim-
ming, tandem swimming, races, relays, diving, and
stunts. The first meet was won by the sophomores,
the second by the seniors.

The highlight of swimming activities was the water
pageant given during winter quarter. Two swimmers,
dressed as sailors, found themselves in Davy Jones'
Locker and had to prove their skill in swimming in
order to escape and return to earth.

Swimming club has done much in promoting the
Agnes Scott ideal of physical well being by offering
many swimming activities.

Tennis one of the very best names in
sports! In the fall and spring the tennis
players can usually be found on the courts
taking in some good fast sets. Soon after
school started, when everyone was still in
practice from summer playing, the singles
tournament was held. Anne Hough was the
winner.

The beautiful exhibition given by two
boys from Georgia Tech, Frank Willett and
Howard McCall, brought out a crowd of
spectators.

Nothing is more conducive to a tennis
game than a beautiful spring day. At first
chance, racquet in hand, the tennis lovers
were off for the courts trying frantically to
get in form again before the doubles tourna-
ment began.

Three new members were added to the club in
fall try-outs Julia Slack, Sue Mitchell and Jackie
Stewart.

gliding across the floor to the strains of the latest
popular recordings is "the very thing." It not only
is entertainment for individual students but has
been used by Mortar Board and Athletic Associa-
tion to give additional zest to their parties. Tenta-
tive plans are in store for a skating club, the mem-
bers of which will include those who are skilled in
skating and everybody interested in learning how.

Skating is a favorite indoor pastime for Mary Cumming, Sarah
Walker, Bettye Lee Phelps, Vicky Alexander, Ann Webb, Sally Sue
Stephenson, Maude Van Dyke.

GOLF

Golfers may often be seen strolling across the
campus with bags slung over their shoulders en
route to the Candler Golf Course. Although war-
time transportation facilities prevent extensive trips
and limit activity to the immediate vicinity, the
golfers are nevertheless enthusiastic about their
playing.

Every spring the golf tournament is held, with the
winner receiving the coveted cup. Under Miss Wil-
burn's guidance members start long before to prac-
tice for the big event.

BADMINTON

Badminton, in its second year on the Agnes Scott
campus, has already become one of the favorite
sports among the students. Under the leadership
of Suzanne Watkins, student manager, the club was
reorganized. Every Wednesday afternoon club
members and all others interested meet in the gym
for an hour of relaxation and practice.

In February a doubles tournament helped to
stimulate greater interest in badminton. By spring
when the outdoor courts were used, the members
of the club exhibited the proficiency resulting from
their indoor practice. Badminton Club has proved
to be a valuable addition to the campus.

Susie Watkins, President, demonstrates serving technique to Badminton Club members.

DANCING

Any Monday or Wednesday afternoon during the first
two quarters of the year a group of blue-clad individuals
could have been found in the gym doing a polka, waltz,
or mazurka. These were the members of the first dance
group which Agnes Scott has had in several years. The
group was organized at the beginning of the year, with

Louise Gardner as leader and Mrs. Harriette Lapp as
faculty advisor and teacher.

The first quarter of the year's work was given over to
technique and creative work by the members. The sec-
ond quarter was spent in preparation for a recital, which
won the applause of the student body.

WEARERS OF THE PIN AND GUARD

The wearers of the Agnes Scott Pins may be found in
their second home, the gym, almost any time of day.
These girls have won their pins by earning points through
serving on the Board of Athletic Association or by par-
ticipating in various sports. A girl having 1,600 points
earns a pin, and an additional 1,200 points entitles her
to a guard made of the numerals of her graduation year.

Mary Cumming was awarded her pin in the spring of
her sophomore year. By the fall quarter of her senior year
she had acquired an additional 1,200 points and now
wears both the pin and guard as symbols of her partici-
pation in tennis, hockey, swimming, and basketball.

Molly Milam, who won her pin her junior year, is a
skilled hockey and basketball player, and an expert swim-
mer. Molly, who is always warning her friends about the
evils of a sedentary life, haunts the gym continually.

Mary Munroe also wears both the pin and guard, the
pin being won in her sophomore year and the guard her
senior year. You will find her almost any day either on
the hockey field, the basketball or tennis courts.

Dot Hunter, president of A. A., is an enthusiastic sup-
porter of all sports and a hard worker on the board. She's
a whiz at swimming.

Although she has won most of her points for outstand-
ing work in swimming and basketball, Bettye Lee Phelps
has been an active participant in almost every sport.

Sally Sue Stephenson, treasurer of A. A., can give any-
one stiff competition in swimming, hockey, or basketball.

Sarah Walker, secretary of A. A., is a terror on the
hockey field. She is also good in tennis and basketball.

Ann Webb, vice-president of A. A., plays both hockey
and basketball. She always adds a little spice to any
game with her English accent.

Life is not always the grim and serious busi-
ness that it sometimes seems. It takes on new
meaning when we can share our whims, our
idle chatter, our careless laughter with a
friend.

Dear Miss Equeni

I anticipated a problem in
selecting the six photographs to be featured
in THE SILHOUETTE but I didn't count on a
fight with myself over the outcome.

One of the most interesting
aspects of the problem was the number of
types of beauty involved and as I' anticipated,
narrowing the selection to six caused me to
shuffle and re-shuffle my original decision.

At first I numbered them
1-2-3-4-5-6, then I decided that it would be
far better to simply indicate my six choices
for the section by "X" mark; hence the six
prints marked on the back with that device.

It is patently unfair to an
artist to jog his sensibilities with such a
parade of inanimate pulchritude, then condemn
him to forever wondering what the girls look
like in real life. However, better a passing
glance than never to have seen them at all.

Cordially.

AROUND THE CAMPUS

A stroll around campus reveals a world of
activity. Almost any time of day Hotten-
tots can be seen hurrying to classes, making
a dash for the dining room, or on their way
to some social or athletic event. This sec-
tion is an attempt to catch a glimpse of
life as it really goes on at Agnes Scott.

Between, or after classes, Hottentots
gather in groups for conversation, take a
fleeting glance at notices posted in But-
trick, remember a war stamp to be bought,
run on the million little errands that daily
living requires.

Our minds grow through con-

professors and a well-planned
curriculum. Courses range
widely in subject matter "from
science to fine arts, with a
chance for each student to
choose as she pleases. The
library provides interesting
books and magazines and
serves as a place for quiet
study. Girls who take advan-
tage of all their opportunities
for study at Agnes Scott are
richly rewarded.

Life in the dorms is endless in its variety. You
can always walk in on a bull-session, a feast,
or a picture of people just sitting around being
lazy. Each girl brings a little bit of home with
her to college and makes it a part of her new
life. Girls take with them into later life memor-
ies of friendship and good times that can
never be replaced. Always remembered are
the days spent in a college dorm.

Eatins is always a pleasure, but this year it
carries its responsibilities as well. War-time
emergency has inaugurated a co-operative
system of dining room duty, a fascinating
dumbwaiter, and a cafeteria style of serv-
ing. Day students enjoy Tea House lunches
and those brought from home.

While most Hottentots cannot be con-
sidered social butterflies (and they
wouldn't want to be), there is always
enough social activity to keep them busy.
In spite of the growing man shortage, the
Dean's office did a lively business check-
ing dates in and out. Many after-dinner
coffees and receptions were enjoyed by
faculty and students in Murphey Candler
and in the lobby of Rebekah. The gym
with its "juke box" was often the scene
of skating parties and square dances.
Concerts in Atlanta offered keen delight
to music lovers. And, of course, there
were, as usual, the private excursions to
town for dinner and a movie.

"FAUSTASIA"

Immediately after the Christmas holidays the writing committee
for Senior opera started to work. The problem: how to take a
beautiful opera and "ruin" it in the funniest possible way.
"Faustasia" was the result of this strenuous effort.

Faustasia, a Hottentot, decides to sell her soul to the devil
so that she may go out with her fiance, then on his furlough,
without flunking her exams. Her experiences with the hard-
hearted Mephistopheles, both in and out of hell, kept an ap-
preciative audience laughing continuously.

THERE is no event in life quite so important as
the wedding. As such it is deserving of all the
dignified atmosphere with which it is sur-
rounded, and every detail in its celebration is
worthy of meticulous attention. Of these, none
reflects more distinction than the quality and
character of the wedding stationery. Stevens'
genuine engraving and Crane's fine papers con-
fer this distinction with that grace and assur-
ance that comes from more than 60 years of
producing fine engraved stationery.

LONG in the memory of the bride will be the
happy recollection that her wedding cards were
perfect in every detail, reflecting her own taste
and personality. May we help you in this im-
portant feature of your wedding?
