The 1946 Silhouette is in the hands of our Junior Editor, Miss Aggie
Hottentot, who has come to us on a visit from her home land to see
what fellow Hottentots are like. She's a snoopy little miss, and she got
into everything immediately. Her dimpled charm, her spontaneous
gaiety, and her sparkling and somewhat surprising comments on college
life entranced us, and we coaxed her into helping us edit the Sil-
houette. But her personality swamped our feeble efforts at being
witty, so we gave her full charge and let her manage the whole thing.
We've fallen hopelessly in love with her, and we hope that everyone
else will take her to their hearts, too. . . . Now, it's all yours, Aggie . . .
fire away!

All the charm of southern hospitality lies in the
dignified pillars of the colonnade.

Beloved Main tower through the stark tracery of
black houghs.

Fall, winter, and spring, Agnes Scott is a lovely
campus. Fall makes of it a pageant of color with
windswept skies and autumn leaves. Winter skies
are background for the strong, clean-cut outlines
of the buildings. With March comes all the deli-
cacy of a southern spring dogwood, wisteria,
azaleas, and the new green of trees and grass.
One would look far for a college campus more
graced with natural loveliness!

But then again, there is ample room for work.

equipped with roomy, airy class-rooms and, of

The Faculty

16

Kindliness and dignity characterize
our beloved president, Dr. McCain.

President fames Ross McCain, aside from his duties as chief executive, has a genuine interest
in all campus affairs. Often during the late afternoon he may be found among the crowd on
the hockey field or at a basketball game, enjoying the athletic contests as much as any student.
Dr. McCain holds many important positions in both literary and religious fields. He is a sena-
tor of the United Chapters of Phi Beta Kappa, a member of the General Education Board of
New York, and a very active member of the Decatur Presbyterian Church. All Agnes Scott stu-
dents admire him for his dignity, friendliness, and poise. President McCain is truly the embodi-
ment of the Acnes Scott ideal.

The Administration

Mr. S. G. Stukes is. one of the busiest, as well as one
of the most popular, people on campus. In addition to
his duties as Registrar, he holds the positions of Dean
of the Faculty and Professor of Psychology. Seniors turn
to Mr. Stukes for some solution of the problem of what
is to come after graduation; his advice is excellent, and
his help is invaluable!

Mr. J. C. Tart, Business Manager-Treasurer, is never
too busy for a smile and a friendly "hello." He simplifies
our money problems and smoothly manages the complex
financial matters of the college.

Our Assistant Business Manager-Treasurer, Mr. How-
ard MacGregor, and his family have become popular
members of our college community. Our well groomed
campus is largely a result of his tireless supervision.

__ Her duties both as Recorder and teacher of freshman
English make Miss Margaret Ridley an important person
on campus.

Miss Laura Steele is Dr. McCain's capable secretary.
Since January of this year she has been on leave of
absence, attending two sessions at Columbia University.
Mrs. Willis Binford has taken her place for the remainder
of the term.

Miss Martha Ray Lasseter has much to keep her busy
as secretary to Mr. Stukes.

The very efficient secretary to Mr. Tart and Mr. Mac-
Gregor is Miss Helen Finser.

Top to bottom:

The innumerable details of registration never phase
Mr. Stukes.

The business of the college runs smoothly under the
supervision of Mr. Tart and Mr. MacGregor.

Miss Ridleij and Miss Steele two of the buiest
people on campus.

Miss Lasseter and Miss Finger check over some
records.

Charm, efficiency, and understanding combine to make Miss Scandrett the perfect dean.

Friendly and sympathetic response to students' problems and an air of calm efficiency have made the Dean's
office a popular center of interest. It is the place where students not only sign up for cuts, look up schedules, and
sign out for dates, but also go for a friendly chat with one of the gracious persons on duty there.

Miss Carrie Scandrett, Dean of Students, is known campus-wide as one who is personally interested in each
individual student. She always has ready an encouraging word or a bit of helpful advice. Her gracious smile
creates a friendly atmosphere wherever she goes.

Assistant Dean of Students is Miss Charlotte Hunter. She is
especially helpful to the freshmen in advising them how to arrange
their schedules, budget their time, and become adjusted to college
life. Miss Hunter's sympathetic understanding and appealing
personality have endeared her to everyone in the college com-
munity.

Mrs. L. A. Hunt, now secretary to the Dean of Students, is well-
known by the student body.

A recent graduate of Agnes Scott. Miss Betty Bowman, is also
secretary to the Dean of Students. Her first year on campus in
this capacity has been highly successful.

Miss Hunter's sincere
and constructive inter-
est has made her a
favorite with the stu-
dents.

Miss Bowman looks up some vital
formation in the Dean's office.

English

Remote Beowulf becomes vivid, and the problem of term
papers becomes simpler under the guidance of the Eng-
lish faculty. Through its variety of courses and the val-
uable public lectures it sponsors, this department has
touched the life of every student.

Mr. George P. Hayes is Professor of English. His
sincere interest in students and in college activities has
made him a favorite of all. His engagement-book is con-
stantly filled with appointments to talk to students, coach
debates, or be a welcome addition to social functions.

is universally known through her activities as chairman
of the Faculty Committee of Lecture Association. She is
admired by students and faculty alike for her scholarship
and stimulation of students.

Warmth of personality and genuine scholarship
characterize popular Mr. Hayes.

Associate Professor Ellen Douglass Leyburn is a source of inspiration to all who
study under her. Illness kept her from teaching for some weeks, but she has now
fully resumed her excellent work.

Miss Janef Preston, Assistant Professor of English, is welcomed back as a full-time
instructor after a long illness. Her love of poetry makes Romantic and Victorian

Presentation of today's world-wide
problems in the light of foregoing
events is a significant part of the his-
tory department's program. The varied
courses which are offered keep pace
with a changing world and enable the
student to have an intelligent attitude
as a world citizen.

Mrs. Catherine Strateman Sims, As-
sociate Professor of History and Politi-
cal Science, has become an integral
part of the campus community
through her very popular chapel talks
on current events. Her penetrating
insight into the problems of the pres-
ent day enables her to teach courses
which are vital for students interested
in the government of the nation and
the world.

Associate Professor of History and
Political Science, Miss Florence Smith,
stimulates the interest of many stu-
dents in historical and governmental
affairs with her instructive and varied
lectures. The twinkle in her eye re-
veals also a quiet sense of humor
which makes her a delightful person
to know.

Miss Elizabeth Jackson, Associate
Professor of History, is an unusually-
competent teacher. Her extensive
knowledge of history makes her classes
very informative. Miss Jackson is a
member of the American Association
of University Women.

Miss Smith refers to The Con-
stitution for the answer to a

Languages

Miss Ham braves December's cold!

The boundaries of the world are disappearing, and
nations are seeing the need for closer intercommunica-
tions. A study of the language and the literature of
other nations plays, today, a vital role in the promotion
of a better understanding among the world's people.

The French department is headed by Miss Lucile Alex-
ander, who is also a member of the Electives Committee
and an honorary member of Mortar Board. Miss Alex-
ander's sincere admiration for her subject transfers itself
to her students.

Miss Margaret Phythian, Associate Professor of French,
is a graduate of Agnes Scott. She is characterized by a
pleasant manner and a real knowledge of French.

Associate Professor of French, charming Miss Louise
Hale, is also a member of the Faculty Committee of
Lecture Association. Students have found in her both a
personal friend and an inspiring teacher.

Acting Professor of Classical Languages and Litera-
tures, Miss Kathryn Glick, opens the world of ancient
Greece and Rome to her many students. Excellently-
prepared lectures and thought-provoking questions make
her classes stimulative both to the imagination and the
intellect.

A welcome newcomer to the faculty is Miss Anne
Turner, Instructor in Classical Languages and Literatures.

Mrs. Dunstan prepares for her Spanish class.

Miss Muriel Harn is Professor of German and Spanish.
Her annual Christmas party, with a candle-lighted tree
and a collection of beautiful figurines, has become famous.
Miss Ham's knowledge of many languages makes her a
delightfully cosmopolitan person.

Mrs. Florene Dunstan, Assistant Professor of Spanish,
adds to her interesting classes with accounts of her sum-
mer visits to South America and Mexico.

A newcomer to the Spanish department is Assistant
Professor Margaret L. Buchner. She has a curious collec-
tion of rings with very interesting backgrounds.

Miss Melissa Annis Cilley, Assistant Professor of Span-
ish, is a Spanish poetry enthusiast. She entertains her
classes with fascinating accounts of her travels and with
her famous collection of souvenirs.

Mathematics

As an incentive to orderly, logical reasoning
and as a companion to science and music,
mathematics lias a steadily increasing appeal
among the students.

Miss Leslie J. Gaylord is Assistant Professor
of Mathematics. Her patience and her insight
into the problems of all students of mathe-
matics make her the ideal professor.

Mr. J. F. Messick is the Acting Professor of
Mathematics during Mr. Robinson's absence.

Bible

.,.,.11 c 1 ' 1

It is a tribute to the great influence exercised
by the Bible department that the Bible lives
for students and that students have found in
courses in religion a source of spiritual inspira-
tion for a better life on campus and off.

Mr. Paul Leslie Garber, Professor of Bible,
spends a great deal of his spare time singing.
He also likes to take flying trips to New York
to see the latest plays. Truly a well-rounded
person, he brings to his teaching a broad out-
look which makes religion, as it should be, an
integral part of all life.

Mr. lames T. Gillespie is Associate Professor
of Bible. In addition to teaching classes he has
many duties as pastor of the church which he

A favorite place for visitors because of its Gothic charm and
for students because of its storehouse of knowledge, the library
is a focal point of academic activities.

The quiet and dignified atmosphere of the library can be
attributed to Miss Edna Ruth Hanley's supervision as librarian.
She also plans the distinctive exhibits which appear on approp-
riate occasions and give added interest to the library. Miss

Hanley's love tor flowers inspired her to fill the window sills
with the lovely pot plants that every student admires.

Willing to aid every student in "catalogue problems" are
Miss Hanley's able assistants, Mrs. Woodbury, Misses Trammel],
Black, Humphries, and Pee!er. Their teamwork makes our
library the smoothly-running, expertly-organized place that it is.

An all-important group on campus is the Medical Staff,
which works with the Physical Education department in
seeing that every student is kept physically fit. Dr. Mar-
garet V. Burns, completing her second year as college
physician, has become an indispensable part of the college
community. Through the attention and care she gives
each student, she has kept the campus health-wise. This
year Dr. Burns had a few cases of just about everything,
from mumps to nervous exhaustion. Her unflagging cheer-
fulness pulled her patients through all their ailments and
established her reputation as a fine person.

Medical Staff

The busiest two people on the campus are Miss Caro-
lyn Hewitt and Miss Caroline Dunbar, Resident Nurses,
who have nursed many a Hottentot through numerous
winter colds and "spring fevers." They make the in-
firmary the efficient place it is and stand by as a symbol
of comfort when sickness of anv sort threatens.

Mist Dunbar's sense of humor helps

make lime in the infirmary more

pleasant.

Physical Education

Fun and physical fitness for the college community are
the aims of the Physical Education department. Through-
out the year it offers to the students a wide variety of

ties. She is especially interested in basketball and hockey,

Hopefully, we rehearsed outdoors for

Investiture but on THE day, it

rained.

Tissy 'Bout-Through went up in smoke as we wailed and
groaned.

In an awed voice one of the freshmen told ine, "Aggie, those are the
Seniors!" It seems that they've been here at Agnes Scott for four years,
and they're leaving in June by some process known as graduation. Out
of curiosity I snooped around to find out what had happened to them
in those four years. They were a war class from the first, so they missed
such things as stockings every night, formal dinners once a week, the
Junior Banquet, and Senior Coffees. But they gained things, too. As
freshmen they were the first to be able to double-date (not even a
chaperone?), and as juniors they could go to night movies in Decatur.
This vear three seniors could go to Atlanta at night. Pretty independent
gang, I'd say!

They even started a tradition. Instead of acting like children on Little
Girls' Day, they had a picnic. Then they put on their long, black robes
(over blue jeans), marched mournfully to the library, and burned an
effigy of their childhood. Heavens, what peculiar customs civilized
people have!

They had a lot of fun, those seniors, and they'll have a lot of memories
to take home with them. I'm thoroughly convinced that college is a
pretty good place to be!

Next I met the juniors. They've been here for three years
and are pretty important, too. From what I hear, they
started life as upperclassmen with a "bang"! In Septem-
ber they were sponsors to the freshmen and helped them
feel at home.. October came, and with it came the Black
Cat Stunt and hockey games on Friday afternoons. At
night they were the perfect hostesses at the junior "nite-

and gab.

During the winter, basketball and swimming lured
them to the gym for class competition. Thev didn't neg-
lect social life, either, cause thev entertained the fresh-
men at a tea and invited the whole college community to
their Junior Joint in February. Mortar Board and the
juniors together gave some swellelegant. off-campus par-
ties for the freshmen (to which men were also invited!).
For the first time since 1943 thev took time out from term
papers, tests, and the "stacks" to have a Junior Banquet.

Now exams are over, and they gleefully tell me that
next year, they the class of '47 will be "top men on
the totem pole!" All of which means, I gather, that
they'll be glad to be seniors!

Leading the Sophs has Lou up a tree.

'All uork and no play ..." We play!

The seniors show the sophs the daisy-picking technique.

Pagie, Lou, and Lida have led the sophs to many a victory.

SOPHOMORE CLASS OFFICERS

Lou McLaubin President

Pagie Violette Vice-President

Lida Walker Secretary-Treasurer

The sophomore class is another "go-getting gang." I talked to several of
them, and their history reads like a success story. In October they walked
away with the Black Cat, a famous animal on campus. Hockey, basket-
ball, and swimming events found the sophs right in the midst of things,
fall and winter. Investiture for the seniors turned out to be a rainy day,
but the sophs helped brighten things up a bit. The traditional daisy chain
got them out of bed at daybreak and kept them busy all day before Class
Day. (Now, daisy-picking is something that even I can enjoy!)

Since the war had left so many people homeless, the sophs and seniors
together adopted a war orphan and sent money, letters, gifts, and friend-
ship overseas to a small helpless boy.

Enterprising creatures, the sophs decided to have a "Pin-up" contest
which would establish the supremacy of certain lucky male admirers of
the fair student bodv. Good idea, I'd call it!

Oh, they led an interesting life, there's no doubt about it! Their fun-
loving spirits and smooth efficiency made an indefinable, but happy addi-
tion to the life of the whole campus and the college.

Night-study.

Well, now we're getting clown into my range! These freshmen were as
new to Agnes Scott in September as I was, and we discovered the college
together. I helped them in October on the Black Cat Stunt (at least, I
yelled with them! ). and in spite of not winning we had a lot of fun. They
started to classes and got into the swing of things early in the quarter,
showing great promise both in academic and athletic matters. In Novem-
ber they elected officers and really got organized as a class. Then came
exams . . .

The New Year got a good start with a big freshman party which was
a huge success. Then interest groups in drama, music, and literature
began to claim a large share of interest. ( I went to all of them. I couldn't
bear to leave one out!)

Lo and behold, they walked away with all sorts of athletic prizes,
including first place in the big swimming meet!

You can easilv see that this class was a "humdinger," and I ahem!
am proud to be classified as Aggie Hottentot, Freshman.

All those people to sec one pal off ft
a week-end?

Well-l-U . . . every class has at least ONE moron.

experience when I say that the staff goes on the run
all year! The photographer and I carried flash bulbs
around all fall, taking pictures of everything! Then
the staff got together, and we decided where to put
the pictures after we got them! I was sort of a secret,
so they made me hide until the Silhouette came out!

But by golly, I managed to get my picture on nearly
every page, and I'm certainly doing all the talking.
We hope we've given you a complete and lively survey
of college life we certainly enjoyed collecting it! For
compliments or complaints, please see me in my pri-
vate office in the mop closet downstairs in Murphey

"Snooping should be right in your line," they told me
as they made me silent partner on the gossip column of
the Agnes Scott News. From there on, my life revolved
madly around keyholes, typewriters, and Tuesday dead-
lines. My first snooping included discovering that the
theme of the paper this year was NEWS and that they
made several big campus scoops. After people asked me
pointedly, "Is your mind campused?" I realized that the
News was also having a campaign to challenge thought
among the students.

This year marked the thirtieth anniversary for the
paper, and the photostat of the first paper in the birthday
issue made me realize what a progressive newsheet it
really is!

"The Aurora/' they said, "is the campus literary maga-

hy students who have talent for writing. ( I turned in
an article on African hair-styles, but they couldn't
decipher my diagrams!) This year it contained special
write-ups of important world problems by the mem-
bers of the debating club as an added feature, and

they really put the campus up to date. A special book-
review page whetted interest in good books, too, and
everyone is making a list of things they're going to
read "when summer comes." I hope you'll pardon my
sense of humor when I say that the Aurora reminds me
of the Aurora Borealis 'cause they're both bright lights!

My first real acquaintance with democracy was Student Govern-
ment. The girls enforce their own rules here, and it really works.
They told me, "Student Government is You." I sauntered around
to find out what they meant. Th talks during Student Government
Week informed me that every girl is a part of the honor system
and the governing body. 1 approve of a government that gives
parties like "The Fair," which had everything, including fortune-
tellers, hot dogs, and freaks. (People kept mistaking me for a freak,
can you imagine?)

My Junior Sponsor showed me around and really got me ac-
quainted with the ins and outs of collegiate life. The only draw-
back was hand-book classes, but I guess everyone has to learn
the rules sometime.

In December I stowed away in the president's suitcase and went
up to the Student Government Convention at Furman University.
You know how conventions are, everyone talking their heads off
about problems, honor systems, and elections!

This spring everyone voted to rejoin the National Student Fed-
eration of America. "Something like the League of Nations?"
I asked, and they told me it was students from colleges all over
the country.

So you see, because of all this, democracy gets my vote!

Agnes Harnsberger Treasurer

Dot has found her niche in student
activities as President of C.A.

To find a beginning for Christian Association's many activities isn't
easy. I guess it all started with us, the bewildered Freshman.
C.A.'s guarding eye and helping hand saw that the "filling station"
supper "for the campus newcomers fulfilled its purpose, and then
turned to the Interior Decoration Clinic which resulted in the
rejuvenation of Inman. On the more serious side, we seekers of
knowledge were satisfied by the interest groups in music, literature
and dramatics.

Then for everybody C.A. had morning watch, Tuesday chapel
periods, and even turned publisher by compiling a campus devo-
tional booklet, plus a booklet containing notes from the significant
campus speeches during the year. The highlight of the year was
the Campus Mission week with four visiting speakers.

With organizations such as this on our campus, I say with C.A.,
"Guard what has been entrusted to you."

"Mortar Board," I mused. "Wonder if it could be a special
brick-laying committee or something?" But someone told me
that it is the honorary organization for outstanding senior lead-
ers. The members are chosen for scholarship (that lets me
out!), leadership, and service.

I snooped around and found a reading room in Bebekah
that thev sponsor. After looking at pictures for a while, I fol-
lowed a gang of seniors and engaged girls to Mortar Board's
marriage class. But thev wouldn't let me in, cause I didn't

have a ring. (The only ring I ever had was the one I used to
wear in my nose! ) They did invite me to one of their wonderful
parties for underclassmen, though.

On Sunday night I loved to go to the open house in Murphy
Candler. Social Standards Committee, created By Mortar Board,
takes charge of it, and the fun-and-food are wonderful!

On top of all this, Mortar Board supports the English lectures.
Art Appreciation half-hours, and Book Week. Now I see why
the members are top-notch people!

Phi Beta Kappa

Now, the organization with more brains than brawn is Phi Beta
Kappa! Agnes Scott has had a chapter since 1926, and every
spring several seniors with outstanding scholarship get elected
to it. ( I applied for membership, but they tell me that you have
to study to belong so I withdrew! ) I discovered that Agnes
Scott was the ninth women's college to have a chapter hmm,
sounds as if there were some fairly intelligent gals around! Any-
way, Phi Beta Kappa promotes cultural interests on the campus
and it's a really fine organization.

row: Tina Heicson, Lura Johnston, Miss Phythian, Carol Giles.

Take it from one who knows - war is no fun. And now
I'm all out for a peace that will mend the world for
s;ood and all. The best way we Hottentots could
express such sentiments was through the War Council
- or really the Rehabilitation (Heavens! what a word)
Council. That's the campus organization that gives us
the chance to give food and clothing to UNRRA,
nickels and dimes to the Red Cross, the United War
Fund, and the World Student Fund - all the worthy
causes in need of a little help from us. They made me

General in charge of collecting nickels and dimes -
just call me General Solicitor!

And money isn't all that we can give - sometimes a
little time can be even more worthwhile. At least that's
what the bovs at Lawson Hospital tell us. And it
wasn't only the boys who had fun at their dances.
We Hottentots loved those Thursday night visits!

War Council, you see, has its serious and its lighter
sides, and they both give us an opportunity to be useful
citizens of our world.

Lecture Association

Now this is a case where, in spite of my talkative ways, I
must sit back and listen. But who minds listening when such
famous people as Marquis Childs and Emile Calliet and the
Hottentots' "own poet," Robert Frost, are doing the talking?
That's what Lecture Association does for us gives us a
chance to hear, right here on our own campus, the people
we read about but never dream of seeing. Lecture Associa-
tion is something special to the Agnes Scott campus. It strives
to satisfy our intellectual curiosity by exposing us to the "men
of the times," and it has been my favorite way of learning
just who's who and what's what in this far-away land.

Bet Long Sale, president, has reason

to smile after her successful year in

Eta Sigma Phi

Euripides now who is he? That's what I asked the Eta Sigma Phi
members. They're the campus classicists, the Greek and Latin students.
They know a lot about classical philosophy and literature, 'cause I listened
in on one of their meetings and heard them discussing it. My jungle back-
ground left me a little dubious about all these big words and ideas. But
I soon learned, first hand, about the good times these Eta Sigma Phi
scholars could have. Not only the campus benefited by their enthusiasm,
but also the local high schools. (They gave the top students prizes.)
Confidentially, I'm even thinking of going "back to the Creeks" myself.

The science hall rocked with the results of my
interest in test tubes and levers! How was I to
know that sodium and water wouldn't mix? It
was an honest effort on my part to prove my
interest in science, one of the requirements of
Chi Beta Phi members. Oh, so much did I want
to be one of the sixteen members invited to
join what the science scholars call their national

honorary scientific fraternity. Of course I couldn't
expect to be recognized as an outstanding stu-
dent in biology, chemistry, or physics but as
I was saying my interest is sincere. So I'll
listen attentively to the visiting speakers, and
maybe next year they'll invite me to the banquet
for new members. Yum always thinking about
food.

Memories of the tribal war-paint flashed across my excited mind when the production members
of Blackfriars prepared me for my stage debut. Dramatics come easy to people like me; so
they considered me a "natural" for the Hottentot's dramatic club. They even let me play
Hamlet in the privacy of a meeting! Those meetings weren't they fun? Business was just
a minor detail when you had parties and one-act skits to look forward to. Then, of course,
there were the major productions. We had a wonderful time among ourselves producing
"Pride and Prejudice" and "Hotel Universe;" I was back stage giving cues, working lights, and
swinging on the curtain ropes. Ah, those proverbial lights of Broadway are really bringing out
the native in me.

My jungle chants did little more than add variety to the Glee Club repertoire. I have
suspected that it was the song in my heart that carried me through the Christmas
Carol program and the production of Gilbert and Sullivan's "The Pirates of Penzance."
But maybe the Georgia Tech warriors who joined us for both events could be con-
sidered a better source of inspiration. One way or the other, there was always music
in the air wherever Glee Club members may have wandered. In chapel we were the
choir, at Lawson Hospital and the Army Camps at least part of us were the Hotten-
tots' Special Chorus, and at the Georgia Tech Concert we were just the Glee Club.
Obviously we got around and had such fun doing it!

Wandering through Buttrick unconcernedly one afternoon, I happened upon an
amazing scene. Huge splotches of bright colors and paints and brushes sur-
rounded me. To my surprise I was told that this was the art lab. As for all the
people there they were members of the Fine Arts League. My qualifications
to join their meetings, so they told me, need only be an interest in anything from
drawing and painting to sculpturing and architecture, and they would see to it
that my knowledge of such was furthered. Sounded good to me then and
better after hearing lecturers like Philip R. Noble, Emil Holzhauer and Dr.
Richard Aldrich. I'm taking a brush and palate home with me after all, paint
comes in handy sometimes in more ways than one.

Stringed instruments and woodwinds I knew nothing
about the drum and chant had been my only exposure

(what titles these Hottentots fancy) soon charmed me
with music that soothed my native restlessness and re-
laxed these weary bones. For a busy Hottentot it was
always a welcome treat. And another thing I liked about
this String Ensemble there was no such thing among
them as government and taxes those two worry-birds
of life in these United States. Nope, no officers or dues
among these new-found friends. That's music to these
ears.

The jargon of these college gals is bad enough,
but i believe that the big and proper words
(when they use them) are even worse. I was
a bit bewildered at Pi Alpha Phi meetings
where the debaters said everything just right.
Of course Free Trade, the main topic of dis-
cussion, is of special interest to me, who could
easily be considered an import. Although Free
Trade took the floor at all the big tournaments,
like Pi Alpha Phi's own All Southern Tourna-
ment right here, there were lots of smaller de-
bates among the club members at the meetings.
The special debate teams even went to the
Grand-Eastern Tournament in Charlotte. Al-
though I couldn't handle such fancy stuff, my
education wouldn't be complete without Pi
Alpha Phi.

International Relations Club was right up my alley. They had
up-to-date news from all parts of the world, and I found out what
v/as happening at home. The girls in the club must be practicing
up for diplomatic service, 'cause members gave talks about inter-
national affairs and guest speakers did, too. You know, it's easier
to understand some of the customs you run into in different coun-
tries after they are explained at I.R.C. meetings. Of course world
affairs didn't occupy us all the time. We had a picnic, too, with
all the trimmings Hot dog! Well, anyway, as far as I'm con-
cerned, the place to go for better understanding of the world we
live in is to club meetings with the I.R.C.

there they all sat, talking sixty miles an hour like natives of Spain. We went to their
annual Christmas party at Senorita Ham's house; she has a beautiful collection of
figurines, and the refreshments were, shall we say, "muy interesante!" This year the
club gave Blackfriars some keen competition with a colorful Spanish play and musical,
"Fiesta de la Flor." Of course, I didn't understand a word of it, but the action
spoke for itself! The club really got started this year, and the whole campus says,
"Muchas gracias," for their contributions to school life.

Parlez-vous francais? Of course I didn't before they told
me about the French Club. But now, after a whole year
of songs and games at meetings and such interesting
speakers as Emile Calliet, I've caught on to just how
much fun French can be. But fun wasn't all diat the
club had to offer; the knowledge of the French language
and customs that I acquired was amazing. Maybe it's
me who's amazing, who knows? But probably it was
the French Club meetings. ( That's the way most people
would look at it! ) Just listen to me parler la langue

B. D. Z

Obviously, I'm not a writer, but I do love to
try my hand at it; so they told me that B. O. Z.
was just what I was looking for. How right
they were! Learning to write was one thing
then learning to read what I had written was
another. But B. O. Z. meetings offered ample
opportunity to practice both. ( See how an
education can improve your vocabulary?) As I
was saying, it was at the B. O. Z. meetings that
we creative writers laid ourselves wide open
lor criticism and loved it!

Poetry Club

Reason, not rhyme introduced me to the Poetry
Club. My reasons for being there were much
better than my rhymes. I recognized an oppor-
tunity for a little thoughtful entertainment here.
Everyone had fun when the aspiring poets prac-
ticed their talents and shared them with their
equally talented fellow members. This hap-
pened once a month when yours truly, a straight
prose immigrant, was given a seat in the corner
in Miss Laney's "meeting parlor" to try to
absorb a little of the poetry and a little of the
criticism.

Bible Club members helped me to understand the spirit-

girls carries with it the same spirit as that of the mis-
sionaries in my country, and I've loved every minute I've
spent with them. Our meetings were usually informal
discussions about different phases of the Bible. First we
studied the Sermon on the Mount, then the Book of
James. And we had our lighter side too, the Fellowship
Picnic. Such good times and so worthwhile! College life
wouldn't be complete without these gals.

issued the invitation to me and to all the others whose

primitive jitterbugging was tamed to the level of pretty
girls in formals swooning "ah, Frankie" plus lots of
"brownies" and "cokes" to satisfy that empty spot. We
had a party too with men. Ah, me. Such fun. Africa
was never like this! I've learned to waltz, rumba, tango,
and fox-trot just wait till the kids at home see that!

of ex-Hottentots.

Here's where I come into my own. Here's where little Aggie tells
these civilized Hottentots about their ancestry. Who is better
qualified to be a member of the Granddaughters' Club than I am,
even though my mother didn't go to Agnes Scott? After all, this
Hottentot business started in my own back yard, so to speak.
That's what I was telling them on Founder's Day when the
Granddaughters sponsored a full day's entertainment for Alumnae,
including a radio program (where I come from the only wireless
is a drum-to-drum hook-up). The tales told about former Hotten-
tots at club meetings will never cease to amaze me or the daugh-
ters who tell them. Time marches on!

Association

"It's Monday night and time for me to go to visit A. A. Board
meeting. Let me tell you about Athletic Association. It is an
organization which includes all of the Agnes Scott students. The
purpose of A. A. is to promote interest in athletic and recreational
activities among the students and to provide entertainment for the
college community.

The Athletic Board, composed of four txecutive officers and the
managers of the various sports, governs A. A.'s activities. This
year's activities opened with a "Sports Nite." Everyone was in-
vited down to the gym to swim, play volleyball, dance, eat, and
to meet the leaders of A. A. On Halloween students gathered
around a big bonfire by the gym and sang and ate apples. In the
winter quarter A. A. sponsored a benefit bridge tournament to
raise money to obtain outside basketball referees. Later in Feb-
ruary "open house" was held at the gym where everyone played
waterpolo or badminton, and ate. One of the highlights was
A. A.'s chapel program when Lynford Keyes, assistant professor
of physical education at Georgia Tech, spoke to the student body
about the need for exercise and the effects of a large amount of
calories.

This year the "Blue Horse" campaign was continued. It is hoped
to have a squadron of bicycles on campus soon. A Bowling Club
was begun this year and put on a trial basis. As yet, it has no
manager on board.

All the members of class teams or athletic clubs were invited
to the annual spring banquet when the new officers were installed.
They closed a very successful athletic year."

Top to bottom: Fall brings crisp days and wonderful
rides in the woods. . . . Fast, accurate playing character-

That's all folks! Miss WiTburn blows the closing
whistle

"Oh! What a beautiful big green field! What do they play out
here?" "Hockey." "What's that?" "Well, Aggie, it's a long
story, but here's what happened out here this year. The season
started with the sister classes joining to play on the Friday
before the stunt. The senior-sophomore combined team de-
feated the junior-freshman team. In ihe following six weeks
the interclass series was played. The senior team won in the
series, winning five and losing one game. The freshmen began
to be a threat at the end of the season, and they should do very
well next year.

The varsity and sub-varsity teams were announced on No-
vember 23. The game between the two teams was played on
November 30. The score was: Varsity 4, Sub-Varsity 0. At
this time the hockey stick was awarded by the senior team to
the most outstanding sophomore player Edna Claire Cun-
ningham.

This year's most unusual event was the joint game with the
University of Ceorgia Hockey Club. The team came on De-
cember 7 and spent the afternoon on campus. The game was

non-competitive, so the teams were joined the Georgia backs
and Agnes Scott forwards played the Agnes Scott backs and
Georgia forwards. The experiment was successful, and both
teams enjoyed it.

The Varsity-Faculty game was not held this year. In place
;>f it, the Agnes Scott Hockey Club, composed of faculty,
alumnae, and friends, played the Sub- Varsity on December 7."

season's fastest games.

"But what can you do for recreation on those cold winter nights?" I inquire
in a snoop>' voice. "Well, there's the highlight of the winter sport season
basketball. The 1946 season opened with a match between the seniors and
juniors, the sophomores and freshmen. The managers of each team, blind-
folded, "chose" their opponent, after much coaxing from the sidelines. This
first thrilling game set the fast pace that was maintained throughout the
entire season.

Following the example set last year, outside referees officiated at each
game. They were secured through funds raised at the Athletic Associa-
tion bridge narty.

The four class teams were rather evenly matched; so each game was a
thriller to the spectators. Each class showed exceptionally high spirit, and
large crowds cheered the teams. After a close race, the freshmen and
juniors tied for first place. The climax of the season came with the varsity-
sub-varsity game. The varsity had to keep on its toes to stay ahead of the
fighting sub-varsity. Speaking of toes, there was a shoe contest between
the halves of this game, and Nellie Scott became the proud possessor of a
brand new pair of saddle shoes.

Some of the most exciting games of the year were played by the class B
teams. With so much interest aroused by increased participation in games.
next year's games should be tops in the sport light."

"I'm so warm." I said and sighed. "'Let's stop by the pool and
talk to Seotty about the swimming club." During the fall quarter
Swimming Club together with other outstanding swimmers
worked on formations to be used in the annual pageant which
was presented on November 27 and 28. The theme of the
pageant was Christmas, and the swimmers represented Santa
Claus, his elves and Christmas toys. The costumes carried out
the theme, and the music was favorite yuletide songs. The
final formation was swum with candles.

Winter quarter tryouts were held for new members. On the

basis of unusually good form, speed and endurance, and a
knowledge of life saving and artificial respiration. Bunny Bran-
nan, Betty Blackmon. Binky Stubbs, Jean Fraser, Ann Hayes,
Jane Barker, and Ruth Richardson were accepted.

On February 7 the first inter-class swimming meet was held.
The events included form swimming, speed swimming, free-
style dashes and relays, and diving. Miss Yogell from the
University of Georgia and Mr. Ed Shea from Emory came over
to judge with Mrs. Lapp. The sophomores placed first and the
freshmen were second. The class managers who were respon-
sible for the success of the meet were Bunny Brannan, freshman;
Ann Sproesser, sophomore; Cooky Miller and Janet Liddell,
junior; and Bettye Lee Phelps, senior. This was the only meet
which counted for points towards the athletic cup which is
awarded to the class winning the most athletic points during the
year.

During the spring quarter Swimming Club sponsored an
exhibition of swimming and diving for the annual High School
day. Also during the final quarter, junior-senior and sophomore-
freshmen teams competed in a swimming meet for fun.

The pool, always popular with students seeking to relieve
tensions and to relax after classes and labs, was in constant use
this year, and many developed new strokes and smoothed out
the rough ed^es on the old ones.

Snapped on the tennis court is Scotty
Johnson, tennis manager.

"Love-15 what can that mean? Love fifteen! That's entirely too many where
I come from. Let me see. These must he the tennis courts they told me about.
Yes, that's it courts, love. Here comes one of the members now. so maybe I can
learn something about this wonderful club."

"Yes, Aggie, we are members of the tennis club. We play tennis here on the
courts in the fall until cold weather comes. This fall we started a doubles tourna-
ment, but rainy days prevented us finishing it. We did help a lot of new students to
develop form, footwork, and to learn and understand the rules of the game. This
spring we held tryouts for girls who wished to become members. You see, our
members are selected for enthusiasm and interest, playing ability, and willingness
to cooperate in helping others. Look over on the far court. The girl in white is
helping the freshman brush up on her backhand and her serve. It's lots of fun to
help others, but the greatest thrill comes in playing an evenly matched game. The
girls on this court are playing the semi-finals in the singles tournament. They do
not have to be members of the tennis club to enter the tournament. In fact, we try
to get as many people to enter as possible, because the more the merrier. Everyone
is interested in the finals match; so there should be a big crowd of spectators here."

"Well, I'm really interested. I'll come and lead the cheers. I can hear the crowd
yelling 'Love-15." What fun!"

"Aggie, you've caught the spirit, if not the sense, of the tennis club."

Outing Club

"Now where could they be going those girls with the
blue jeans, sleeping bags, and food?" I asked. "They
are members of the Outing Club starting out on an
overnight hike. Just wait until you see them tomorrow!
Tired but happy after a long hike, supper around the
campfire, long talk and little sleep, they'll return. To
become a member you must pass a test on fundamental
nature lore and first aid and show real enthusiasm for
long hikes and outdoor cooking."

Riding

"Whoa, halt, stop - help! Oh, Mrs.
Lapp! How can I get back on? Oh.
what they told me about riding! They
said it was one of the most popular
fall and spring activities. Beginners
learn the thrill of good riding in the
training ring while advanced riders
take to die trails for long jaunts. The
highlights of the season come in the
horse shows in which the form and
skill perfected through practice is
demonstrated to the crowds of spec-
tators. Riders rejoice when they hear
'The horses are here!' Well, I'd be
glad if this horse were here under me!
There he goes oh, Mrs. Lapp!"

Archery

"Whiz! Bang! 'Bull's-eye.' Great Agnes Scott! Are they
practicing to kill each other? Just what are they doing?
They must be members of the Archery Club that during
the season 1945-46 has tried to increase the interest in
archery among the student body. Among its acthities
has been the organization of an archery team for members
of the club who attain an exceptional skill. These mem-
bers of the club have continued practice during spring
quarter to improve their skill further so that they might
place high in the annual Telegraphic Tournament for
collegiate groups."

Members of the archery class aim for the target.

Volleyball

"That net's too high. My, I get more confused by the
hour. Hey, miss, what gives out here? ( That's "jive"
for what is happening? ) What funny basketball no
basket." "That's not basketball or tennis, Aggie, that's
the queen of spring competitive sports, Volley Ball. Class
teams battle their way through the spring. Volley ball,
a comparatively new sport on campus, is gradually tak-
ing its place with hockey and basketball. In the long
spring afternoons, girls gather at the nets on the hockey
field to try their hand at a game which requires real
skill. If it rains, which it does, practices are held indoors,
but the fun and excitement of a fast volley ball game
is the same indoors and out."

Bowling

"Why don't you stay in the gym today? What sport can
you plav in Decatur that you can't play right here?
Gosh, they don't even listen to me. There go about
twelve of 'em off to Decatur. Those girls belong to
the bowling club, the "baby" athletic organization on
campus. It was just started this year as a trial organiza-
tion and if successful, it will become a full-fledged mem-
ber of Athletic Association with a member on A. A.
Board. The purpose of the club is to promote more
interest and skill in bowling. Members are supposed to
bowl at least once a week to develop skill so that later
some may enter the National Bowling Tournament."

Badminton Club

"Why, this is a lot like indoor tennis what are they
playing?" "These are the members of the Badminton
Club, Aggie. Badminton Club this year has tried to in-
terest die campus in the game of badminton as recreation
for fun and fitness, since it is suitable for many occasions
in college and throughout later life. The club began its
meetings in the fall and played once a week during
winter quarter.

In addition to the annual doubles tournament, the club
sponsored a singles tournament, won by Mac Craig, and
Carolyn Gilchrist defended their title for the doubles
championship.

The campus joined Badminton Club at open house
in the gym twice during the year when exhibition games
were played by club members.

Miss Ames, the instructor, won in a mixed doubles
tourney at the Atlanta Athletic Club."

The DancG Group

"Come down to the gym any Thursday night to watch us practice, Aggie, " suggested
Miss Eugenie Dozier, leader of the dance group. "But I don't like Ballet," I wailed.
"The more reason you should go, Aggie! The dance group, composed of students
and alumnae are trying to develop campus interest in the dance, and to make dancing
an integral part of the campus. During the fall, they studied classic ballet. During
the winter, they practiced the dance recital which was given as a climax of the year's
work. Through their efforts, modern, classic, and folk dancing has been presented to
the campus in a truly delightful and artistic manner."

Grace in dancing comes only through
hard practice. M. J. Gower, D. Gard-
ner, D. Bennett, V. Dickson, A. Mur-
rell, and P. Wilhnon work hard.

Wearers of the Pin and Guard

"Oh," I screamed, "those adorable pins A. S. that must
stand for Agnes Scott. Why do so many girls here at the gym
wear them?"

"Well, Aggie," Sarah replied, "Winter and spring quarter
each year, A. S. pins and guards are awarded to the girls who
have accumulated the required number of points in athletics.
The number of points that even a pin requires, is 1600, and a
guard may be obtained with an additional 1200 points. These
points must be won in more than one sport; sportsmanship and
enthusiasm are also considered. The girls who have been out-

we arrived. Yes, we arrived, a bit bewildered and a little in awe of the girls who
screamed and yelled and hugged and kissed each other in a performance that
couldn't even be equalled by any of my friends or relatives! Maybe we of the
original Hottentot clan are not nearly as heathen as legend makes us out to be.
Of course that three day siege of waiting in lines for anydiing and everything you
wanted was a little discouraging, but once we were settled we really buzzed along.
Miss Scandrett took me under her wing and sent me off on a rollicking start.
Over in Inman we newcomers soon fell into the swing of college life, and the old
girls backed us up all the way. Ah, college days there is nothing like them, I am
convinced. Even our introduction to real "book-learning" was a thrill to one of
my background. Whee, wait till I write home about this our drum-to-drum
hook-up will really beat it out to all parts of our jungle!"

take this game called hockey, with sticks, balls, and screaming girls even-
where on that huge field how I wish the folks back home could see it!
Our tribal wars are calm in comparison. And then the Black Cat Stunt
that was the highlight of the month. The Freshmen and Sophomores
really battled it out. For weeks everyone whispered class secrets, and for
weeks everyone painted, rehearsed, collected properties, and did all the
other jobs required for this "stunt of all stunts."' The big night came and
the Sophomores won but not without competition. We Freshmen are
still a little awed by this life, I have to admit, although we do our best
to give the impression of old-timers."

came for Investiture, but no spirits were dampened. The Seniors

to water when Miss Jackson asked us to trace the history of the church.
But we managed to survive the week, and then it was only a matter of
how fast the taxi could carry us to the station before we were boarding
the train for the sentimental journey home. Of course my 'home" was
with friends this time, but it was a 'Merry' Christmas for all and for all a
good night.' "

we were tempted to fall into the depths of mid-winter
despondency, which seemed inevitable after such a won-
derful three weeks Christmas vacation. But we Freshman
were kept too busy even to think about home. This was
really our month. First there were the parties sponsored
by Mortar Board and given by our 'big sisters,' the
Juniors. There were barn dances, hayrides, and picnics
all with men. Who could ask for anything more? Then
the Junior Class gave a tea for us over in Murphey
Candler, and we got all dressed up in our party clothes
to enjoy this extra hospitality. I was 'specially busy,
'cause the Silhouette snap-shot contest gave me a chance
to snoop into everyone's collection and get some good
blackmail material! You can see that it was a busy time,
not considering the fact that books and papers were
staring us in the face. But then, that's all a part of college
life, and we love it."

the campus really saw action. Life arid spirits started picking up. and
everybody was working on either the junior Joint or the swimming
meet. There wasn't a dull moment. Lecture Association brought both
Dr. Lowry and 'our own' Robert Frost to talk to us. On Founder's Day
Agnes Scott broke into the news with a radio program. This was the
month for Valentines too, and I wish everyone could have seen the
dietitian's handiwork in the dining room for our Valentine's Dav dinner.
It was really a work of art. Of course the Junior Joint was the big event
of the month. We all took a journey Through the Looking Glass' and
found Alice in Wonderland in the KVm. This was another time for the
Freshmen to shine, too our King and Queen won. Then came the
swimming meet, the only one of the year; so everybody worked hard to
win. It was the Sophomores who came out on top! Now everyone has
settled clown for the next event on the calendar - another set of exams.
And so it goes. '

\ pensively beautiful moment in "Les
Sylphydes."

^rn II V larch . . .

we had a busy time like every other month only more so. When exams
and vacations come all at once, it's inevitable that the Hottentots will be
in a dither, and we were! First, we watched the Dance Group trip the
light fantastic on the stage of Presser in their interpretation of Chopin's
'Les Sylphydes' and Liszt's 'Hungarian Rhapsody.' Then we left the
aesthetic to return to the reality of examinations. But we quickly con-
quered them and dashed for the quickest mode of transportation to cany
us home for six unforgettable clays of vacation. Of course all good things
must come to an end, and we were soon back behind the books again,
with only sentimental memories of home. But before March roared out,
the Glee Club did itself proud in Gilbert and Sullivan's The Pirates of
Penzance.' Collaborating with the Georgia Tech boys, they performed
both here and at Tech. And so another month was but a memory with the
thoughts of spring ahead."

the flowers popped up, the dogwood bloomed, and fancies turned to
thoughts of - what else! In other words, spring was here. But of course
classes continued to beckon us to Buttrick and the Science Hall, and the
Library continued its role of an irresistible force. That is the inevitable
part of this college life. But there were such things as Blackfriars' produc-
tion of 'Hotel Universe' to take our minds oft our troubles. And the big
moment for the Juniors, the first Junior Banquet in three years, came oft
in top style -with dancing in Murphey Candler (the first on the Agnes
Scott campus) after filet mignon. What a thrill that was! The English
department brought the inimitable John Mason Brown to inform us of
the latest in literature and drama. All in all we enjoyed those four weeks,
but spring or winter there is one thing that continues to puzzle me about
Georgia:

Spring is sprung,

The grass is riz,

I wonder where the sunshine is.
But then I comfort myself with the thought:

April showers

Bring May flowers."

Beautiful girls, handsome boys, and fun GALORE at the Junior Banquet.

the world was beautiful, life was exciting, and school was rushing to a
climax. Early in the month we went 'back to the Greeks' for May-Day.
We had not only the Queen and her lovely maids, but also every god
and goddess on Olympus throned in glory. For the Seniorpolitan Opera
we went clear up to the moon. Oh, we really got around in May, believe
me! Reinhold Neibuhr, philosopher and lecturer extraordinary, returned
to the campus for another provocative address. A lucky few were tapped
and initiated into that most mysterious of all organizations - Phi Beta
Kappa. But the thing that really impressed me was incessant exam-tak-
ing! Sophs and seniors spent two solid days gnawing pencils and tearing
hair over experimental graduate record exams. Then the seniors plunged
into those final finals. Underclassmen followed suit a week later, and then
summer! June, graduation, weddings, house-parties, and the happy
memories of my first year at Agnes Scott."

Wedding Memories

THFff 7 ! 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 surrounded, 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 confer this distinction with that
grace and assurance that comes from more than
60 years of producing fine engraved stationery.

LONG in the memory of the bride will be the
happy recollectior 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?
