The center of our campus life as expressed on
the sundial casts a fitting summary of our busy
hours on campus.
Four views of buildings around the sundial sym-
bolize our ideals of life at Agnes Scott. Within
the domitories we develop Christian social
standards; the dining hall furnishes good food
for our physical well-being; in the classroom
buildings the faculty deeply stirs our intellectual
curiosity. Life on the campus is encompassed by
a simple religious faith.
TO
DR. WALLACE McPHERSON ALSTON
WHO WORKS UNCEASINGLY WITH AND FOR US AT AGNES SCOTT.
WHOSE FRIENDLY "HELLO" MAKES OUR LIVES ON CAMPUS HAPPIER.
AND WHOSE LIFE EMBODIES THE CHRISTIAN IDEALS AND PRINCIPLES
UPHELD BY OUR COLLEGE.

WALLACE McPHERSON ALSTON
PRESIDENT
In his two years as President of Agnes Scott, Dr. Alston has come to be an Inspiration
to all who know him. His capable leadership and his pride in our college command
respect and admiration from everyone. To us as students he presents a challenge for
the future.

DEAN OF THE FACULTY
REGISTRAR
As a personal friend and an academic counselor, Dr. Stulces means
a great deal to the students of Agnes Scott. We especially value
his sincere interest in others and his friendly understanding of
each individual. These qualities explain why he is an invaluable
part of every phase of campus life.
In Miss Scandrett the Agnes Scott ideal comes to life. She inspires
all who know her with her poise, graciousness, unselfishness, and
amazing Insight. No other person on the campus means so much
to the personal happiness of the students as does Miss Scandrett.

BUSINESS OFFICES
"Would you please cash this check?" and "Mr. Jones, I
need some lights for the play next week," can be heard
in these offices most any hour. Students and faculty alike
deeply appreciate the helpfulness of the Business Man-
ager's office and the efficiency of the Treasurer's office.
LAURA STEELE
The Registrar carries on many tasks which
are important to the student. Registration,
course selections, the sending and record-
ing of grades, the catalogue, and post-
graduate and job findings are all carried
out by this office.
PUBLICITY AND ALUMNAE OFFICE
Every time one walks by the mail room, she sees the publicity board
crowded with news of Agnes Scott from the newspapers. How nice
it is to see your name in the paper and not to have known it was
going to be there! The student, who will some day be a member of
the Alumnae Association, has plenty of opportunity to know the organ-
'lation while on campus through its teas and the Alumnae Quarterly.
"Congratulations on your birthday!" comes
from this office to the surprise of each stu-
dent every year. Friendly greetings, helpful
talks, and making announcements for stu-
dents are just a few of the services that
this office pleasantly renders.

ENGLISH
The English department is one which reaches all Agnes Scott students. By offering a
wide range of courses, it provides a rich background for a liberal education. Besides
directing students' footsteps in profitable paths during college days, the capable
members of this department furnish a basis for a rewarding intellectual life beyond
Cnmpus experience.
SPEECH
Nearly everyone has some of the actor in him. One of the better known functions of
the speech department is to train students in dramatics and play production. How-
ever, before one reaches this stage, he must first study the fundamentals of effective
speech. The dramatics club, Blackfriars, gives fine performances quarterly, and speech
students often sponsor chapel programs that entertain the entire campus community.
JANET LORING
IhlSTRUCTOR
FRENCH
The members of the French department recognize the necessity of being familiar with
the thought and customs of countries other than our own. if we would live wisely and
well in a world which by virtue of scientific progress is ever decreasing in size. This
awareness makes the French department one of the most up-to-date on the Agnes
Scott campus. A speaking and reading ability of the language is acquired plus a kn^
edge of the country itself.
GERMAN
One of the most popular language departments at Agnes Scott is the German de-
partment. Emphasis is placed not only upon conversational ability but also upon a
broad reading knowledge. The work in this department is made even more interesting
by language clubs, record conferences, and special language tables in the dining hall.

HISTORY AND POLITICAL SCIENCE
Through a knowledge of past civilizations, the Agnes Scott history students
learn to interpret present-day issues of world-wide interest. The history
department offers courses that range from the early Greek and Roman
periods to current events: from Renaissance civilization to American polit-
ical parties. By taking advantage of this variety of studies one acquires
a sound background for becoming an informed citizen.
MATHEMATICS
The day when women were excluded from the realm of mathematics has
passed. Agnes Scott students are offered courses that train them in exact
thinking, and may progress to such advanced subjects as analytic geometry
of space. Students interested in mathematics find a challenging program
at Agnes Scott.
MUSIC
LILLIAN ROGERS
GILBREATH
INSTRUCTOR
Agnes Scott students benefit in many ways from
the active program of the music department.
They may take practical courses in organ, piano,
violin, and voice; they may study the theory and
history of music: they may attend the chapel
programs and concerts presented by the music
faculty, individual students, and the glee club.
The entire Atlanta area appreciates the extra-
curricular activities of the music department.

PHILOSOPHY
The philosophy department offers Agnes Scott students an opportunity
to develop their own powers of clear reasoning. Contact with the great
thinkers of the past stimulates independent thinking within modern In-
dividuals. No matter what philosophy students study or plan to do after
graduation, their philosophy courses enable them to deal with questions
concerning the ultimate meaning of life.

PHYSICAL EDUCATION
Every girl on the campus is aided by the physical education department
in achieving the Agnes Scott ideal of physical well-being. The wide choice
of activities wthin ithe department includes instruction in dancing and
most sports, classes in health, inter-class team competition, and extra-
curricular activities for individuals. Thus students gain skills and poise as
well as receiving the benefits of medical care.
Agnes Scott's roomy infirmary has staff and facilities adequate for any
emergency that might arise, while daily it serves the less serious medical
needs of the campus.
PHYSICS AND ASTRONOMY
in the Bradley Observatory and the John Bulow Campbell Science Hall,
Agnes Scott students keep up with the expanding world of science.
Through the fine Agnes Scott telescope they explore the universe, while
in the physics lab they discover what natural laws govern our world. In
the physics and astronomy departments science takes on new significance
for everyday life.

Our depiction in campus diction of life at Agnes Scott;
Liberal Arts is our theme: Graduation, our dream.
Our relation to education is really something to see,
While struggling to get that BA degree.
Lessons that take us all night; Classes that take us all day.
Don't let us break your heart, we really ain't that smart
We still get to play.
Tech and Emory,
Cheese and broccoli,
Them's things that we've got.
We're whooping It up.

ELIZABETH FULLER JACKSON
Elizabeth Fuller Jackson came to Agnes Scott College in 1923
and served as associate professor of history until her death
in February 1952. During these years she rendered valuable
and inspiring service to the changing generation of students
coming under the charm of her rich information and her warm
friendlinesss. She had an infinite capacity and enthusiasm for
work and a talent for friendship.
The interest she felt in European hiistory, in English, in Russian
hHistory, she succeeded in communicating to her students, and
instilling in them a real appreciation of Art, Music, and Litera-
ture.
A deep personal interest in her students was the outstanding
characteristic of her teaching.
The faithfulness and loyalty that marked her service to Agnes
Scott was a reflection in our sphere of her brave Christian
Character and in her faith and loyalty to God and her church.
hHer fine, rich spirit which had poured Itself out so generously
in the years of service and responsibility found itself sustained
and soothed in her sufferings, and she faced death with
dignity, courage, and faith.
N MEMORI AM
In memory of Phyllis Ann Fisher who would have graduated
this June. Phyllis was born February 6, 1931, and her home was
in Paris, Kentucky. At Agnes Scott her major was Biology, and
she served as an active member of Christian Association
Council. A beloved member of her class, she was known for
her genuine friendliness, sense of humor, and zest for living;
her death shortly before the opening of this school year has
meant a loss to us all.

When the Class of '54 returned to Agnes Scott in the
fall, they numbered only a few nnore than 70. However,
they have continued to show the enthusiasm which won
for them the Spirit Cup during their sophomore year.
Junior sponsors made their large sister class feel at home
on the campus during the first weeks of school. On Feb-
ruary 7th "Glory Be." or "215 in One Fell Swoop," gave
the campus something to talk about for many weeks. With
such eagerness and enthusiasm in the past, bigger and
better things are certainly in store for this class next year,
and with the coming of a new term, "Hail to the Red
and White" will again be heard.

Sporting black and gold beanies decorated with '55, the Sopho-
more class has made itself well known on Agnes Scott's campus
this year. Rebekah teemed with the warhoops and Indian, symbol
of their class. Dances and yells have enlivened every sports
affair. The formulating of the annual campus directory was the
class' main project. With two years remaining at Agnes Scott,
the Sophomores, if they continue as they have in the past, are
headed for many more honors and awards.

The Freshman class descended upon Agnes Scott in the fall of '52
one-hundred-eighty strong. In Black Cat the versatile talents of the
newcomers dancing, singing, and even an orchestra were demon-
strated. In sports the class of '56, spurred on by much class spirit,
has excelled. January 20 was "get acquainted" day for the boarding
and day students; a treasure hunt, skits depicting boarding and day
student life, and dinner together in the dining hall ended the day
with each girl feeling closer to her classmates. "The Freshman class
is mighty fine."

"A FLOWER FANTASY"
A prince was sad and lonely. As he was sitting in the palace garden,
a fairy princess came to him. She tried to make the prince happy by
restoring the beauty of the garden, but the prince was still lonely.
Finally, the sweetheart rose came forth, and the prince fell in love
with her. They were married and lived happily ever after.
The May Day Dell made a natural setting for the brilliant colors of
the dancing blossoms of this original fairy story.

Student government gives an annual reception each fall to welcome the
newcomers as well as the old students and faculty. A good time was had
in meeting new people on the campus and also in renewing old acquaint-
ances from last spring.
TRUSTEES' DAY
On November 20 the trustees of Agnes Scott attended a joint dinner in
the dining hall with the faculty. After a coffee in the library, they were
guests at the Blackfriars' fall production in Gaines. Informal contact such
as this helped the trustees and faculty to become better acquainted.

MOCK ELECTION
On October 23 at chapel time the halls of Presser resounded with cheers
and shouts of "I Like Ike" and "We Say Adiai." At the rally General
Elbert Tuttle spoke for Eisenhower while Mr. James Mackay spoke for
Stevenson. Immediately after the speeches the students voted on new
voting machines in Buttrick Lobby. This project, sponsored by Mortar
Board, gave a feeling of actual participation in a nation-wide movement.
RECEPTION FOR SIR GLADWYN JEBB
One of the distinguished guests which Lecture Association presented was
Sir Gladwyn Jebb, British Diplomat and head of his country's delegation
to the United Nations. His topic for discussion was "The United Nations

The Agnes Scoff News is the voice of the campus for the
students, faculty, trustees, and off-campus friends. Published
weekly and supervised entirely by the students themselves,
the News gives information, recapitulates major events, fore-
casts future activities, reports and analyzes campus opinion
and sometimes even launches a crusade as the highly suc-
cessful one last fall which led to the production of the
faculty revue. The unsuspecting reader never knows when he
will unfold a paper with a picture of Dr. Posey with a Pogo
sign, or when the feature writer will break into Ogden Nash
poetry, the sports reporter into Bill Stern superlatives, or the
editor into international politics.

ASSOCIATIONS
STUDENT GOVERNMENT ASSOCIATION
Student Government is a hard working organization which governs the students
efficiently and fairly. The association began its year of activities on campus with an
orientation program designed to provide valuable assistance to the new students.
A formal reception for the entire college community under the sponsorship of the
organization climaxed the events of the opening week of school.
Included in the year's program of student government activities were a new sewing
machine for the campus, planning discussions for student government chapel, dis-
cussing dormitory rules, sponsoring a treasure hunt for the freshmen, serving as the
national student association committee on campus, conducting discussions on the new
election procedure, and carrying on the many routine activities in enforcing dormitory
regulations.

We then, as workers together with Him, beseech you also that ye receive not the
grace of God in vain." (II Corinthians 6:1) was chosen as Christian Association's theme
passage this year. This passage was chosen to fill a need, to emphasize a part of its
program, and to help each student grow in her spiritual life. Christian Association is
the fulfillment on campus of the fourth Agnes Scott ideal simple religious faith. Its
program including vesper programs, prayer services, chapel programs, which are car-
ried out on campus is under the charge of the Cabinet. The Council supervises all
off-campus activities, such as the Scottish Rite hlospltal and the Negro missions.
Dr. Frederick Olert, pastor of the Second Presbyterian Church of Richmond. Virginia,
was the Religious Emphasis Week speaker. Chapel sermons, group discussions, and
personal conferences with Dr. Olert strengthened the religious faith of all students.

to the campus three outstanding attractions. The first of
these was the production of Shakespeare's Love's Labours
Lost by the Players Incorporated, a high comedy per-
formed in an admirable way. The second attraction was
the visit to the campus made by Robert Frost, famed
American poet, with whom student members of the Lec-
ture Association dined one evening. Interest was also
aroused by the lecture delivered on campus by the out-
standing British diplomat. Sir Sladwyn Jebb. These three
events, which were sponsored by Lecture Association, are
adequate proof of the value this organization has been
to Agnes Scott.

MUSIC CLUB
The Agnes Scott Music Club is a new organization on
campus which has many future aspirations. Already it has
become a member of the Georgia Federation of Music
Clubs, which is affiliated with a national group. At its
monthly meetings students of voice, piano, and organ

poser, about whom the club centers its program theme.
This group hopes to fulfill a need on the campus by fur-
thering interest in a subject that offers inexhaustible re-
sources of pleasure. It realizes that a small beginning does
not necessarily mean small future prospects; this is a club
with a gleam in its eye.

The Second Rebekah Garden Club was established in the early fall of 1950
by a very select group of interested nature lovers. The primary purpose
of this small, but active group was more bushes for the colonnade. How-
ever, this was not the only purpose the real goal being general beauti-
fication of the campus. Members went around in their merry, little way. 1
scattering seeds of happiness and culture into fertile soil. The ladies were
guided through the rainy and dry seasons by their beloved sponsor and
sweetheart, little Wally Alston. Their familiar cry-bushes can still be j
heard ringing through the colonnade.

BASKETBALL
"Jump ball!" "Did you see that shot? Wonder what the
score is now!" Such comments can be heard in the gym on
Friday afternoons during winter quarter. As usual basket-
ball is everyone's favorite. Each class plays six games, and
the season ends with a varsity game. There was this year a
big turnout for the games and practices. The Freshman
class won the basketball plaque, and Mary Beth Robinson
was awarded the Sportsmanship Medal. Mary Evelyn Knight
was school manager, and Mrs. Story coached the teams.

ADMINTON
The badminton season officially got under way in January when the
tournament started. Barbara l<elly was the badminton manager for
the campus, and Mary Beth Robinson, Carolyn Randolph. Nancy
Clark, and Joanne Miklas were the senior, junior, sophomore, and
freshman class managers respectively, Mary Beth Robinson defeated
Katherine Matthews to win the singles championship; Frances Cook
and Mary Beth Robinson were the winners of the doubles tournament,
while Katherine Matthews and Barbara Kelly were the runners-up.
A highlight of the season was a clinic for all badminton enthusiasts;
Mrs. Dobson of the Atlanta Athletic Club came to teach anyone
\/ho wanted to learn to play.
ARCHERY
On most sunny afternoons this is a familiar sight from the library
windows. Archery, under the management of Sally Legg this year,
has its big season in spring guarter when the tournaments are held.
Of special interest was the inter-collegiate telegraphic tournament
f'-om May 13th to May 23rd. Cake and grab bag shoots on our own
campus were also a big attraction spring quarter.
SOFTBALL
The Softball manager for this year was Caroline Wells. The spring
intramural games are the main Softball events. When the annual went
to press, much speculation was being made as to who would win the
tournament would the seniors continue their lead and graduate
triumphantly, or would the freshmen bring out hidden talent as they
did in other sports? Our ardent fan, unofficial coach, and accurate
umpire, Mr. Jones, spurs our efforts and zeal during the Softball
season.
TENNIS
During fall quarter the tennis tournaments were held. Mary Beth
Robinson defeated Nancy Burkltt for the singles championship. Ten-
nis was managed this year by Marianne McPherson. Tournaments and
the tryouts for tennis club were held during spring quarter The first
anniversary of our laykold surface tennis courts finds them In constant
use fall and spring quarters.

DANCE GROUP

Miss Eugenie Dozier. The main purpose of the dance group is to intro-
duce the art of dancing to girls who have had little experience in this
particular field. The annual production of this group has become a
tradition of our campus. This year Dance Group presented a contem-
porary ballet, Rodeo, and the Nutcracker Suit. The members of the
group did their own choreography.
