Oui- putju^ie

This is a memory book your memory book. On these pages we have
tried to preserve the experiences of a year spent on the Agnes Scott
campus. A year filled with unforgettable experiences the memory
of work and of play, classes and exams, afternoons in the library, and

' committees and meetings; memories of the Black Cat stunt and the

Junior Banquet, fraternity parties and dances, special dates and long
awaited letters. And then there are those intangible experiences which
we cannot capture with pictures and words lasting friendships,

^^ ' knowledge acquired, spiritual growth, new hopes and ideals. It is our
sincere hope that in this, your book, the moments special to you have

I been memorably preserved so that when viewed in the years to come

these pages will hold as much interest as the first time they were opened.

With gratefulness for her understanding
and trust, with admiration for her Chris-
tian ideals, and with appreciation for
her sincere friendship, we dedicate the
1947 Silhouette to

Miss Carrie Scandrett

i

As we pass hy his open door in Biittrick, we frequently see Dr. McCain using the dictaphone.

Dr. James Ross McCain, President of Agnes Scott College, embodies the
ideals of liberal education. He is a past president of the Association of American
Colleges and a leader in the work of the Southern Association of Colleges and
Secondary Schools and of the Southern University Conference. Dr. McCain is
also known as a former Senator in the United Chapters of Phi Beta Kappa and
a trustee of the General Education Board of New York. We shall remember him
in a more personal role a gracious counselor, an enthusiast of campus activities,
and a man of great religious faith.

Geniality and dignify fuse in the personality of Mr.
Stukes.

In the dual role of registrar and dean of the faculty,
Mr. S. G. Stukes has a tremendous influence in helping
students make as eftective choices of both courses and
vocation as possible. An aviator in World War I and
now a photography fan, Mr. Stukes is a great favorite
with the faculty and students; his characteristic laugh
never fails to invoke a similar response.

Business manager-treasurer who has an air of friendly
helpfulness even under the responsibility of a large part
of the college's financial affiairs is Mr. J. C. Tart.

Mr. P. J. Rogers, Jr., has replaced Mr. H. M. Mac-
Gregor as assistant business manager-treasurer and is
fast making friends on the campus. Among his duties is
that of supervising the college grounds.

Recorder and instructor in freshman English, Miss
Margaret Ridley is also a favorite personal counselor.

An alumna with an enviable academic and extra-cur-
ricular record, Miss Laura Steele graciously and expertly
performs the duties of secretary to the president.

Miss Martha Ray Lasseter, secretary to Mr. Stukes,
still interested in the activities of her Alma Mater, sings
with the Glee Club.

Mr. Tart handles the liuffr task of the business of the
college.

Mr. Rogers has been added to the administration this
year.

Smiles characterize the charming efficiency of Miss Steele
and Miss Ridley.

Miss Lasseter and Miss Finger return from clnii)el.

THE DEAN

Our charming Dean of Students spends leisure moments listening to records.

A friendly, efficient office where we take our
problems, sign out for dates, and go to chat
with the interesting people who work there, the
dean of students' office is an integral part of
campus life.

From the first days of registration to the last
triumphant day when she awards seniors their
sheepskins at Commencement, Miss Carrie
Scandrett, dean of students, is symbolic of Agnes
Scott ideals. Whether we go into the office for a
conference, meet her on the quadrangle, or enjoy
her hospitality at her house on College Place,
Miss Scandrett is always gracious, charming,
sympathetic, resourceful one who deserves the
honored designation of Perfect Dean.

Conferences with Miss Hunter help each freshman adjust
to college.

As assistant dean of students, Miss Charlotte
Hunter especially undertakes to help freshmen
become happy Agnes Scotters. Immaculate
grooming and exquisite taste make her an ideal
representative of gracious living.

Miss Wilson and Miss Bowman, representatives of a popular Dean of
Students' Office.

Returning to the campus after spending a
year in personnel work at the Woman's College
of the University of North Carolina, Miss Isa-
bella Wilson, assistant dean of students, main-
tains close contact with the day students and
was the guiding genius behind the redecorating
of the day student rooms this year.

Miss Betty Bowman, an alumna, is secretary
to the dean of students. Always smiling, she is a
favorite with the students.

Miss Hanley's graciousness pervades the library.

Miss Edna Ruth Hanley is a silent partner in
our pursuit of knowledge; she is the librarian.
Dignity and charm are hers as well as efficiency.
She grows prize-winning African violets we
write home about and is interested in the work
of the University of Michigan Alumni Asso-
ciation.

Miss Louisa Heeth and Miss Mary Trammell,
assistant librarians, know all about card cata-
logues, shelving books, sending overdue slips, and
helping students find unusual facts in reference
books.

Mrs. Robert Woodbury is secretary to the
librarian.

THE LIBRARY

Miss Heeth, Mrs. Woodbury and Miss Trammell are always ready
to help us find just the right book.

The reference room of the library

is the work shop of the students

and the librarians alike.

As the boundaries of the world shift and as
tlie problems of all nations come under the
jurisdiction of the United Nations, the contribu-
tions of tire department of history and political
science to tlie education of world citizens take on
a more \'ital force.

After a leaxe of absence to teach in GI col-
leges abroad, Mr. \\'alter B. Posey, professor of

subtle wit and intellectual inspiration back to
Agnes Scott. One of the sponsors of the junioi'

talks and to judge campus contests. He is an
adviser of Mortar Board.

Mrs. Sims is a speaker in demand both on campus and

ing and informal, she illustrates her lectures with accounts of her

ENGLISH

The English department exerts a
wide influence in campus life. The large
niunber of students majoring in English
attests the popularity of its varied pro-
gram, from Chaucer and Shakespeare to
modern British drama and narrative writ-
ing. Lectures sponsored by the English
department contribute to the campus
program.

Having a background of world travel
and extensive reading, and endowed
with unusual humor and interest in cur-
rent affairs, Mr. George P. Hayes, pro-
fessor of English, is a favorite teacher.
Enthusiastic Shakespeare students sing
his praise as do members of Pi Alpha
Phi, of which he is adviser. When spring
comes, Mr. Hayes holds conferences on
the porch of Main.

Mr. Hayes is frequerttly seen reading out of
doors in the autumn and spring.

Miss Preston and Miss Trotter find a point of
literary significance on the map.

LANGUAGES

The language departments offer us the op-
portunity to partake of other cultures and to see
our own culture in the setting of the world as a
whole. Thi-ough language courses we find a
bond with other countries; through literature
courses, we see the values that have endured
through the ages.

Miss Melissa Cilley, assistant professor of
Spanish, is an authority on Spanish poetry. Her
enthusiasm for Spanish culture has found expres-
sion in traveling and in collecting unusual
souvenirs.

Spanish, can tell her students how Spanish
sounds in a natural setting. Her trips to South
America and Mexico furnish her with this infor-
mation. She has studied in Cuba and Paris.

ish, has completed her first year at Agnes Scott.
Her pleasant manner has already won a place for

sical ability.

Mr. Christian W. Dieckmann, profes-

plays with such ease at chapel bear wit-
ness to the fact that he is a Fellow of the

Dr. Margaret Burns, resident physi-
cian and professor of physical education,
has become one of the most indispen-

less yet cheerful efforts to reduce sickness
among the students and faculty. "Flu"
shots and measures to prevent colds
have been two of her chief projects for
the year.

Dr. Burns guards our heahh.

which is the traditional landmark of

'You were my queen in calico, I was

As we looked back over our senior year we recalled numerous activities together
and with the other classes that are responsible for the fond memories that we carry
with us. We worked with the sophomores on the Black Cat Stunt and aided them
in the winning of that coveted cat. We revived the traditional "Little Girls' Day"
and spent a hilarious time romping on the lawn before donning our caps and gowns
for the impressive Investiture ceremony, at which time we officially became seniors.
May was the busiest yet the saddest month with the Senior Opera, the Senior Fare-
well Dance, Class Day, Baccalaureate Sunday, and graduation on June second.

Tattie Mae Williams Secretary-Treasurer

All ready to board the "galloping showcase" for town!

Our first responsibility as juniors was towards our freshman
sister class as we offered advice and suggestions for the Black
Cat Stunt. We also gave three parties for our sister class to intro-
duce them to the boys at Tech, Emory, and Columbia Seminary,
and after Christmas we honored them with a tea. March first
was the opening night for the Club Schefferazade with its orches-
tra and dancing girls. April was the month of our formal Junior
Banquet and May oiu" party for the seniors. After a successful
year as juniors we are anticipating an even more successful year
as the class of '48.

"Tilly", "El", and "Reesie" capably led the soph-
omores through a busy and successful year.

The sophomores prepare to escort
their sister class to be capped.

"Must ijou break my camera?"

Raring to tear into a new year, the sophomores arrived in September,
After being bm-ied by the demands of classes, we left everything to gaze with
loving eyes on the grinning face of that Big Black Cat. With an animal skit
which showed the influence of 211 by its title Caterhunj Tails, and with origi-
nal songs we threw out our " welcome mat" to the kitty. Happy indeed was
every sophomore when the coveted Cat was presented to our chairman. We
published the Sophomore Directory, and took over the management of "Pair-a-
dice" which attracted many weary laborers with its decoration of flaxen-haired,
dice-shooting cherubs. At Investiture the Sophomores lined the aisle of Presser
and watched with pride and envy the solemn procession of our faculty and
senior sisters. The class of '49 ended its sophomore year with fond memories of a
successful year and in anticipation of another successful one to come.

Our freshman year has been a year filled not only with hard
work but also with the fun of working together. We combined
our work and play in preparing for the long remembered Black
Cat Stunt as we practiced the newly written songs and skit.
With the memory of the sophs' victoiy still in our minds we set
forth earnestly to have our Junior Joint candidate crowned king
and were successful in our attempt. As our first year ended we
found ourselves looking forward to the fun we would have
together as the sophomore class.

The Agnes Scott ISlews consistently keeps its readers informed of all affairs
both on and off campus that are of interest to the college community. Student
polls, coverage of campus activities, special issues hot off the press at election
time and such, made The News live up to the policy set for it in its first issue
"To give the happenings at Agnes Scott as unbiased and complete as we are able;
to make The News a recognized clearing house for student opinion and the
mouthpiece of the campus; in fact to be a good college newspaper". Indeed it is
a good college newspaper.

Remember "DIG FOR A SATOP" the campus number one
mystery of the year? This slogan, "Democratic Ideal Good for
a Sane Attitude Toward Other People", embodies the activities
and aims of Student Government.

A definite improvement was made this year in the organiza-
tion of Lower House.

Student Government started the year by holding handbook
classes culminating with the signing of the Honor Pledge. This
completely oriented the new members into the democratic spirit
of the college community. The members of Student Government
helped the well-being of the college by volunteering their services
to the library.

Remember the school song contest? Definite proof of the
spirit of Agnes Scotters of 1947 can be found in the peppy songs
written by each class. The respective organizations on campus
took up the suggestion of Student Government and encouraged
use of the songs that would become a part of student life.

112

The class activity cup to be given at the end
of the year to the class with the highest percent-
age of participation in campus activities stim-
ulated interest in the basketball and hockey
games and in club activities.

The Student Government sponsored Inter-
Campus Conference gave everyone a chance to
discuss the validity of the campus rules and in-
directly led to modifications and to understand-
ing of regulations.

Student Government also sponsored a buffet
supper for the Leaders of the respective organi-
zations on campus. Thus each organization was
able to hear what the other leaders were doing
and to gain knowledge of how to make their
work better.

"All work and no play" certainly not!
Wasn't the Student Government Halloween
Party grand? The Student Government girls
have the serious natures required to guide col-
lege policy and they also have a big capacity for
play.

Jane, with her initiative and carry through, led Student
Government on to higher goals.

MORTAR BOARD

The girls that help mould college life into a unit, a balance
o fwork and play. It is an honorary society for outstanding
seniors. The members are chosen on the basis of scholarship,
leadership and service.

One of the aids to the community is Mortar Board's reading
room in Rebekah. While waiting for meals we can brush up on
the latest magazines that range from Madamoiselle to Time.

The Mortar Board parties are a highlight in the lives of the freshmen and the sophomores. This year the
parties were a combination of games, dancing, good food and plenty of men.

Social Standards Committee was created by Mortar Board. During the past year it has become such a
part of campus life in adding graciousness and enjoyment to social activities on the campus, that it is now
branching off on its own. It has been given a place on the Student Ballot.

Mortar Board supports the English Lectures, Art Appreciation Half-hours, and Book Week.

Agnes Scott looks at Mortar Board members as standards of what the well rounded girl should be.

Mortar Board Recognition Day was a big day

for cceryone. Miss Charlotte Hunter deliiered

the address.

The compiling of an Agnes Scott calendar was
perhaps the newest and the most successful
Mortar Board activity during 1947. It con-
tained attractive pictures of the campus with
space for noting each day's activities.

Christian Association holds a prominent position in
the memory of all Agnes Scotters. Every student at
Agnes Scott is reached at some time during her college
career by C.A. This active organization seeks to keep in
contact with every student on campus, giving them op-
portunity to help with the children attending the Negro
Mission, the little patients at Scottish Rite Hospital, and
the eager members of Boy's Club. C.A. strives to laring
a fuller realization of the power and meaning of Chris-
tianity into the heart of every person on campus. It
seeks to do this by having impressive chapel programs,
providing means of transportation to the various churches,
having morning watch, vespers, and by publishing a
devotional booklet entitled "Our Father". The programs
are supervised directly by C.A. Cabinet and Council, but
all students are given an opportunity to enter into
the many activities which are originated by Christian
Association.

WORLD SERVICE COUNCIL

yellie is kept busy with M'orld Service Council activities.

When the average Agnes Scotter of this year hears
the phrase "World Service Council" mentioned she very
probably thinks of the anxious discussions of the whys
and wherefores of the World Service Fund, which she
along with the rest of the student body voted upon and
contributed to this year. The World Service Fund,
which unifies such drives as the Community Chest, the
Red Cross, The World Student Service Bund, Foster
Parents Plan, and The Cancer Foundation is only one of
numerous projects sponsored by the Council. The over-
all purpose of World Service Council is to act as a coor-
dinating agency for all service projects on campus. At-
tributed to the efforts of this organization is the Public
Instruction Committee, which sponsored numerous
forums on current affairs and brought such speakers to
the campus as the eminent sociologist, Kimball Young
of the University of Chicago. Also carried on by the
Council is the Relief Committee, which has provided
students with a means of sending letters and relief boxes
to young people abroad.

Many students will remember with pleasure the
dances at Lawson General Hospital, for v/hich the Coun-
cil acted as a "supply agent", providing means of trans-
portation and chaperonage for those wishing to attend.
Others will remember knitting sweaters for children
abroad. And of course, none will forget the chapel pro-
grams sponsored by the Council discussing the different
causes for which the \Vorld Service Fund was to go.
Among the more interesting of these was one in which
two exchange students from Norway, attending Emory
and Oglethorpe, talked about the situation of the Nor-
wegian students during the war. Since the inclusion of
the idea of service into the Agnes Scott ideal, the
function of the organization has become increasingly
important.

LECTURE
ASSOCIATION

Remember the nights when we all rushed to
Presser Hall to hear lectmes given by such
famous men as Raymond Morley, assistant editor
of NewsiveekP And then there was Robert
Frost, who we feel is Agnes Scott's own poet,
and whom we look forward to hearing every
year. Of course we had to come quite early
those night or look forward to the prospect of
standing up for an hour. The most exciting
thing is having the opportunity to meet these
eminent men at the coffees held just after the
lectures.

Through the lectures on world affairs by
Louis Lochner, the famous correspondent, and the
internationally known scientist. Dr. A. W. Bronk
we were made to see more clearly our responsi-
bility in world affairs. "Unconditional Surrender Means Uncon-
ditional Responsibility" as presented by Mr. Lochner proved that
knowledge of world affairs is an absolute necessity in this time
of post-war unrest. College students especially must shoulder
their responsibilities. Dr. Bronk in "Science in National and
International Affairs" emphasized the need of understanding and
tolerance. As you can see the service that Lecture Association
renders to the college community is in\'aluable in contributing to
our better understanding of our world today.

ETA SIGMA PHI

The Latin and Greek students who composed Eta Sigma Phi
have dehghtful recollections of Wednesday afternoons at Miss
Click's where they discussed over cups of tea the Greek play to
which they had devoted individual study that month. This
national honorary classics fraternity, represented at Agnes Scott
by the active Alpha Delta chapter, worked throughout the year
to realize its twofold purpose: stimulation of the study of the
history, art and literature of Greece and Rome, and promotion of
closer fraternal relationships among students concerned with
classical studies.

realms are Angela and Miss Glick, president and

CHI BETA PHI

Chi Beta Phi is a ckib with a long and excellent past.
A national honoiaiy scientific fraternity', the first woman's
chapter in the United States was chartered in 1933 at
Agnes Scott. This Alpha Sigma chapter requires of its
members high scholarship and a manifest interest in sci-
ence. We all remember how Chi Beta Phi tried to
increase our interest in and knowledge of science through
moving pictures and lectures open to the whole college.
This year's program included such lectures as Dr. Bronk,
the bio-physicist, and Dr. Yoe, from the Uni\ersity of
Vii-ginia, who showed films of the Bikini atom bomb test.

It's easy to conjure up the past of the Black-
friars: 'twas they who presented Oscar Wilde's
sophisticated comedy, "Lady Windermere's Fan",
in the fall, and then in the spring, Chodorov's
psychological drama, "Kind Lady". Blackfriars
is the dramatics club organized in 1915 under
the direction of Miss Gooch, and is composed of
acting and technical members who produced two
major dramas and several one-act plays from tlie
workshop. Besides entertaining the college au-
dience and general public, Blackfriars furthered
interest in an acting knowledge of drama and in
experiments with original and creative work in
acting. In following this program, the acting
members of Blackfriars entered a world of fan-
tasy, and the make-up costume, and properties
experts transported us to the same world.

GLEE CLUB

Remember the girls who just can't help sing-
ing? Remember the songs they sang, "Summer-
time", "My Hero", "One Alone", "Italian Street
Song"? Those girls made up the Chapel Choir,
Christmas Choir, and Special Chorus, known
collectively as the Glee Club. Under the direc-
tion of Mrs. Clarke and Mr. Johnson, they prac-
ticed untiringly the long hours necessary for
such a finished production as "The Messiah'.

Licipated in this performance, but the Agnes

The League of Women Voters was a newcomer to the campus this year.
Coming at a critical time to perform a needed service, it urged Georgia students
to register and vote, and stimulated the entire college group to a closer observa-
tion of state, national and international government policies. The League was
affiliated with the Georgia League of Women Voters and other college leagues,
and membership was open to any girl who wanted to learn about and participate
actively in her government.

STRING ENSEMBLE

The String Ensemble is not an appropriate title for the musically talented
who met just to play, because woodwinds comprised an important part of the
group. Mr. Dieckmann, composer-director, chose his Ensemble from students
and faculty interested in active study of the great musical composers, old and
new. There were no officers and no dues in this organization: music was the
sole motive and objective. In the spring the String Ensemble presented a concert
program featuring selections from Bach.

PI ALPHA PHI

Remember the talk about Labor and Man-
agement that went through the school and
finally culminated in the All-Southern Debate
Tournament? Pi Alpha Phi played host to the
debaters, and the whole college was invited to
the final debate where a University of Florida
team proved that Labor should be given a direct
share in the management of industry.

A hope for skill in the art of argumentation
spurred Hottentots on to join Pi Alpha Phi, first
organized in 1922. Members studied current
problems, and their adviser, Dr. Hayes, with
penetrating insight into these interpretative
studies, stimulated the debaters with his con-
structive criticisms.

Scott chapter met at intervals. Members of I.R.C. corresponded

"Como esta vd., Senorita?" "Muy bien,

ish Club meetings in Murphey Candler sweep
back to us when we hear these Spanish phrases.
The club sat at a purely Spanish-speaking dinner
table, had monthly meetings that were more
like parties with their speakers, skits, songs, and
dances, and tried in every way to provide an
opportunity for Spanish-speaking students to
improve their fluency. The Spanish Club
brought us into closer contact with our Spanish-
influenced neighbors to the south and added a
delightful foreign flavor to campus life.

FRENCH CLUB

Remember the long table in the new dining
room where conversation seemed gay but per-
haps a bit slow? The French Club decided to
have its own table where no English would be
spoken, and, besides being fun, this practice im-
proved the club members' French. In the late
fall the club serenaded the campus with Christ-
mas carols in French, while in winter quarter
the French Club played host to guest speakers
on the subject of art. In the spring the club
turned its attention to drama and the members
presented a one-act play.

POETRY CLUB and B. 0. Z.

Remember the poems published by the Aurora?
Many of these were the work of members of the Poetry
Club, the girls who were pilgrims to Parnassus, stopping
from time to time for spiritual and physical refreshment.
Members met monthly with Miss Laney to read and
criticize original poems. Throughout the year special
arrangements were made for the writing groups to talk
to campus visitors such as Sandburg and Frost, and
studies of various modern poets also supplemented the

programs.

B.O.Z. provided for creative writers in prose what
Poetry Club gave to its followers. Members met once a
month with Miss Preston to study the story form and
read their own work. With the inspiring and enthusi-
astic guidance of Miss Preston and Miss Laney, members
of B.O.Z. and Poetry Club produced literary creations
enjoyed by the entii-e college community.

BIBLE CLUB

Remember how we used to wonder who had sur-
rendered to those epidemics of colds and upset stomachs?
It was helpful this year to find the list of infirmary
patients posted on a bulletin board, and to the Bible
Club go our thanks. Membership in the club was open
to all those girls interested in Bible study. This year the
club gave its attention particularly to the Old Testament
while meeting every other Tuesday with its advisers,
Drs. Garber and Gillespie. Memories of the Bible Club
are a part of others outside Agnes Scott, too, for mem-
bers sent boxes of clothing to a European girl.

COTILLION CLUB

Fifty-two gills, freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and
seniors, have gay memories of parties two Thursday
afternoons every month in Murphey Candler. These girls,
chosen after tryouts held in the fall, made plans to
further social activities on campus. The whole campus
community remembers the gracious charm of the festive
Open House and after-dinner coffee held by the Cotillion
Club on Thanksgiving night. This year the club and the
whole college celebrated the first anniversary of the
privilege of dancing on campus with men. The keynote
is charm in our memories of the Cotillion Club charm
in appearance, personality and dancing in the club's
hostesses, and enjoyment by the whole college of the
entertainments arranged by the club.

The Granddaughters Club is perhaps the
Club most filled with poignant memories of our
alma mater. It is an organization primarily
social in nature, consisting of the daughters of
former Agnes Scott students, but the extent of
the power of the tradition is seen in the presence
of several great-granddaughters! The club met
bimonthly in the Alumnae House, was advised
by Miss Mary King, editor of the Alumnae Quar-
terly, and as a special project helped the Alumnae
office to record alumnae activities. The Grand-
daughters also kept the young children of the
Decatur Alumnae Club at their monthly meet-
ing, participated in tlie Founder's Day program
and entertained with a large banquet for the
members.

"Wliat's A. A. been up to this year?" That
question can be answered by a glance at the
sports memory book . . . the dates of the water
pageant, swimming meets, horse show, and all
other athletic activities of the student body may
be found here!

The record of the years acti\ities begins with
the annual "A. A. Plan-it", held in September at
the Hotel Biltmore by the four executive officers
of the board and the sports managers. Since the
purpose of Athletic Association, whose member-
shij? is made up of all Agnes Scott students, is
"to promote interest in athletic and recreational
activities among the students as a means of pro-
moting physical efficiency, scholarship, good fel-
lowship, and sportsmanship," the year was
planned with this in mind.

A tense moment in a hockey game right outside the striking circle.

For freshman orientation, the board sponsored Sunday after-
noon hikes out to Stone Mountain, and a gym open house to
introduce freshmen to A. A. board and its activities. Early in
October was A.A.'s big annual party, this year on the theme of
"Town and Country Club." At the country club, the gym, there
was square dancing and rustic entertainment. In Murphy
Candler, the Town club, there was bridge, bingo, and ballroom
dancing.

Then a highlight of the hockey season was the week of instruc-
tion by Mrs. Elizabeth Dunn, sent to us by the U.S. Field Hockey
Association. In the winter quarter A. A. again sponsored its
annual benefit bridge to raise money for basketball referees.

The "Blue Horse" collection was continued throughout the
year. A. A. has acquired three bicycles in the past two years, and
has hopes of getting tv/o more from this year's collection.

The activities of the year ended with the annual spring ban-
quet given for members of the varsities, sub-varsities, and athletic
clubs, with installation of the new officers for the coming year.

Jean Frascr, dependable manager and dependable player.

It all began 'way back in September on a lovely, warm after-
noon. A crowd of happy healthy, would-be hockey champs
pranced gleefully out onto the field for the first practice of the
year. Just an hour later they left the field . tired, hot, bruised,
but far from discouraged. This was the beginning of what
turned out to be a thrilling season of fast games, brilliant stick-
work, brisk weather, and violent cheering. After one practice
game with mixed teams, the Senior-Junior and the Sophomore-
Freshman teams paired off on October 18, to open the six weeks

of inter-class competition. In the final analysis it was found that
the Sophomore team had triumphed, having lost only one game.
At the last game, November 29, the varsity and sub-varsity
teams were announced, and in Chapel on A.A. Day the Senior
team awarded the honor hockey stick to Jean Fraser, sophomore,
for her outstanding ability. Neither Varsity-Sub-varsity nor
Varsity-Faculty games were played this year, but the exciting
class games made up for that. Hockey scores for this season
were:

BASKET BALL

Back on the cold Friday afternoons and nights of winter
quarter there issued forth from the gym piercing shrieks and
kisty, discordant singing, which, upon close inspection, were
found to be the class's participation in basketball games.
Spurred on by such violent cheering, the teams had a good sea-
son, with the Sophomore's six, in particular, exhibiting amazing
accuracy and speed by winning every game they played. In the
first game sister classes contended for honors, after having
"chosen" their opponents in the annual "bhndfolded ceremony".
Outside referees officiated throughout the season at the breath-
taking games.

Later in the fall, sports interests centered around
Swimming Club as plans were begun for the Fall Water
Pageant. Swimmers this year, went through spectac-
ular formations, posing as mermaids and water-bugs
playing on a magic island. Other sea creatures swam
and dived to entertain the "little boy and girl" that had
found the lovely lake. Among those participating in the
pageant were the new members of Swimming Club,
chosen by try-out for excellency in form, speed, and
endurance in swimming, along with practical knowl-
edge in lifesaving.

Winter quarter plans quickly went under way for the Swimming meet which was held on
February 3rd. With a team composed of Bunny Brannan, Bet Blackmon, Weesie Durant,
Binkie Stubbs, Pat McGowan, and Mim Steele, the Sophomores carried off top honors, while
the Juniors ran a very close second. Freshmen and Seniors tied for third place. Swimming
Club immediately began working on events for the Spring quarter meet.

TENNIS

The pinging sound as a well-placed ball hit the court
could be heard long after most people were staying in-
doors from the cold. Sometimes it was just a friendly
match, sometimes it was hours on long, hard practice for
outside tournaments, and at other times it was the finals
or semi-finals of Agnes Scott's own tennis tournament
which ended with Betty Andrews and Ann Hough win-
ning the doubles crown for the third straight year. The
small crowds of interested onlookers that gathered to
watch the students play or enjoy the less frequent faculty
matches proved that tennis is the most versatile sport on
campus.

Manager Jackie Stewart tightens the net for an
exciting match.

OUTING CLUB

As soon as the weather became chilly Outing
Club went on an overnight hike to North Fulton
park, complete with sleeping bags and bugs.
They could be seen at any hockey game selling
munchy apples to everyone. All through the fall
and winter they hiked into Atlanta early in the
morning for a breakfast of waffles and honey.
And to top it all the new members proved their
ability for the old members at a delicious ham-
burger fry at Harrison Hut.

Sara Catherine Wilkinson, Margaret Hamer, Sara Belle
Rosenberg, and Alice Davidson aim at the target.

ARCHERY CLUB

Any time on a sunny day on the hockey field
archers can be seen shooting at the brightly col-
ored targets, for fun and in club competition.
In the spring archers were drawing their bows
in earnest, shooting their Columbia rounds to
enter the national Intercollegiate Telegraphic
Tournament. Win or lose the sport of Robin
Hood still thrills many a modern co-ed.

Two in the bull's-eye and a good score for each.

RIDING CLUB

With eight new horses to try out members of
Riding Club enthusiastically started the year
right by riding in a group every Saturday. Sup-
per rides provided an added incentive to try out
the many wooded trails. At the fall horse show
Betty Andrews was awarded the championship
and the R. O. Estes cup and Harriet Lurton was
awarded the reserve championship. Betty Bed-
denfield, Emily Ann Reid and Betty Andrews
received the awards in class competition. Mrs.
Andrews awarded Willa Wagner the trophy for
the most improvement shown in horsemanship.

Jean Estes presents the R. O. Estes trophy to horse show
winner, Betty Andrews.

BADMINTON CLUB

Badminton Club sought to give its member-
ship the professional touch with demonstration
matches by Randy Hayes and Gene Sims, semi-
pros from Emory, lectures on technique, and
afternoon coaching sessions. Most any afternoon
at least two badminton fans could be found In
the gym to bat the birdie arovmd with. Winter
((uarter Jackie Stewart and Emily Wright won
the doubles crown after a hard-fought tourna-
ment.

The dance group this year voted to change
their name to the Ballet group. This group of
students and alumnae, under the excellent lead-
ership of Miss Eugenie Dozier, has been trying
to develop campus interest in the dance and to
make ballet an integral part of the campus. In
the fall they practiced classical exercises, con-
centrating on ballet in preparation for their per-
formance in the winter quarter. On February
15th, this group presented Agnes Scott's first
full length ballet, "GISELLE". Those who wit-
nessed this performance enjoyed a polished eve-
ning of entertainment. This was a real begin-
ning toward accomplishing their aim of making
the ballet a real part of our campus life.

All good things must come to an end and
summer did. As September rolled around once
more, in its own inevitable way, our trunks were
packed, our tickets were bought, our families
bade us farewell, and we were off again. Before
we knew it, we were back within reach of the
"sheltering arms"!

^?i?KI-

Smilin thru!

Doris, up a stump.

Gin (runmiy, that is!)

168

Dessert?

It speaks for itself!

The freshmen arrived eager, excited, anx-
ious, and a little bewildered! The sophomores
arrived happy, confident, and proud to have
gotten through "the worst". The juniors arrived
jolly and content with their newly -won status
as upper-classmen. The seniors . . . well, they
arrived!! It didn't take long to get into the
swing of things, and soon the days were flying
past.

Eager Beaver!

"It's not for knowledge

169

The maimed, the halt, and the Wind!

Posey, Hunter, and Hayes - the judges.

Leaves began to fall, October came, and thoughts
turned to the Black Cat Stunt. As usual it proved to be
one of the highlights of the year and the sophs walked
off with the cat! We had hockey games in the after-
noon, and there were parties at night in the gyni. We
heeded the old saying about "all work and no play"!

Leo himself.

170

The "Town and Countnj" party.

M^hat fools these mortals Ijc!

A morale booster of the first degree was the
post-war increase in enroUment at certain near-
by colleges for men! Week-ends found our
campus with a real "co-ed" appearance. This
was more like the college life we'd heard about,
lo these many years! Of course, we should say
that by this time freshmen had recovered from
the shock of six weeks' grades and we were all
absorbing knowledge at an amazing rate of
speed!!

Gloating??

To attemiDt to describe, even in brief, all the
events of the first of fall quarter would be an
impossible task. Blackfriars presented "Lady
Windermere's Fan"; and it was a great success.
We had swimming meets, too, and there were
hockey games through the last sunny autumn
days.

DuBairy's suggestion??

VM-M-M those pies toere good!

173

November came and for the seniors it was
of greatest importance, for they were invested!
On "Little Girls' Day" they romped through the
dormitories and serenaded(?) those unfortmiate
creatures still trying to sleep. They carried their
dolls to the dining room, and they wore paper
hats. Everybody was there, from "Lena the
Hyena" to "Little Lord Fauntleroy"! They did
have fun! Then they deserted their toys and
donned their gowns. Colonel Robinson gave an
appropriate and very impressive talk; and after-
wards we held our breath as each senior walked
across the stage and knelt on unsteady knees
before Miss Scandrett but nobody tripped!!

were there too!

The Dignified Seniors!

"Lena the Htjena" in Person!

174

The Honor Guard.

Children will be children.

As the seniors filed out of the chapel, they could
scarcely believe that they were now full-fledged "invested
seniors"! Parents had come from far and near to beam
upon their offspring. And if the truth be known the
seniors were more than a little proud of themselves!
Prospects for graduating in June were bright!

We're duly impressed!

My, how you've grown.

175

Santa Claus is coming to town!

It seemed impossible but it was already
December. There were two things on our minds
exams and Christmas holidays. On the last
Sunday night before exams Santa Claus himself
paid a visit to the campus. The dormitory
parties were loads of fun; and the Christmas
trees, the holly, and the \yreaths put us all in the
real Christmas spirit. We counted the days till
Christmas vacation and we studied like mad
for exams. Some were lucky enough to finish a
few days early. Those left behind turned green
with envy and stayed till the bitter end. But
eventually we all got away!

"So Orderly und \\ tU Kc^d!'

176

Such entliusiasm!

Came January, and those glorious holidays were
only a dream. We spent the first day or so greeting our
friends, catching up on the news, and getting organized
then we plunged headlong into classes and were busy
with the usual activities of winter quarter. It seemed
tliat there wasn't half enough time for things we should
do and even less for all we wanted to do! Still, we
managed to include a few bridge hands, dates, and
movies in our schedules.

Aren't they sweet!

Gene's photography!

Like bugs in a rug!

It snowed in February!

178

Sittiii pretty!

February came and went. Then exam week was here
again. We suffered the usual agonies, but we lived
through the week and enjoyed a few days of "rest and
relaxation". Spring was just around the corner!

A sunmj afternoon. '

Tired old seniors.

179

Don't fence me in!

Spring finally came, in all its glory. The trees
and grass were green, the dogwood bloomed, the
sunshine was warm and you guessed it we
were all suffering from acute attacks of Spring
Fever! Seniors began, more and more, to think
of graduation. New engagement rings appeared
in rapid succession. Some even took the "fatal
step" before June. It was exciting to wonder
what was coming next. The Junior's banquet
was really a thing to remember, and the seniors
liad parties galore. And we mustn't forget to
mention the luscious suntans acquired on our
own private "beach"!

Those Ipana smiles!

If Eugenia could see you now!

180

We were tempted to spend all (jur
time just glorying in the gorgeous spring
weather. But there were still classes to
be met, courses to be passed, and merit
hours to be attained so we studied too!

On the first Saturday in May we presented
"May Day Revels". This was a real, old-fash-
ioned May Day, complete with Maypole, beau-
tiful belles, and a galaxy of dancers. The entire
court wore white, and to make it more exciting,
the Queen's identity was kept a secret until she
was crowned during the festivities!

THERE is no event in life quite so important as the
wedding. As sucli 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 hte wedding stationery.
Stevens' genuine engraving and Crane's fine papers con-
fer 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
recollection that her wedding cards were perfect in every
detail, reflecting her own taste and personality. May we
hel|i you in this important feature of your wedding.'
